Chapter 362: Wolf Ambition
The Governor of Macau, Alfonso, sat in the castle and drank coffee leisurely.
He was accompanied by two fair-skinned, blond-haired, blue-eyed Yanmars.
In the hall, there are also two Japanese actresses dancing to the music.
Alfonso squinted his small eyes and stared at the writhing figure of the actress, causing the Yanmar next to him to roll his eyes.
"Governor, Ming Dynasty officials in Macao ask to see."
Portugal only had the right of residence in Macao, and this right of residence was obtained by bribing Guangdong officials, and they had to pay 1,000 taels of silver to the Ming every year.
However, in the past two years, not only have they not paid a tael of silver, but they have also begun to pay attention to Zhuhai.
If it weren't for the scruples of Daming's thin camel being bigger than a horse, they would have started to do it a long time ago.
Hearing that there were Ming Dynasty officials who wanted to see him, Alfonso didn't bother to pay attention to them, thinking that he would still use these people in the future, he waved his hand:
"You all stand down and let the Ming Dynasty officials come in!"
"Yes"
The four beauties got up and retreated, and the guards turned around and came out to bring in the Ming Dynasty officials in Macau.
They all know Xu Kun, a local official, and today there is a young man next to the local official.
Xu Kun greeted Alfonso with a smile on his face when he came in, but the young man was indifferent.
He did not greet Alfonso at all, but took out a letter and handed it to the Portuguese governor of Macau.
Alfonso was very unhappy, he didn't take the letter at all, and he looked at the young man coldly.
Said in an arrogant tone
"I am the Portuguese Governor in Macau, if you have anything to say, I don't have time to receive you."
Xu Kun's face was a little unpleasant, but he didn't say anything.
But the young man was not at all polite:
"Macao is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, your term of office as the governor ends today, and the Ming Dynasty has an order to limit you to evacuate in three days, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
This young man is not an ordinary person, it is the deputy commander of the Daming Jinyi Guard, the White Tiger.
Originally, these aliens were allowed to leave the country in five days, but the white tiger saw that this goods were so rampant, and directly shortened the deadline by two days.
"What? What do you say? Say it again......"
Alfonso bounced off his soft chair as if there was a sudden fire under his buttocks.
He stared at the white tiger with a pair of slightly blue eyes.
White Tiger shook his hand and threw the letter in his hand onto Alfonso's desk.
"Whoosh...... Click......"
The letter directly shattered Alfonso's coffee cup, which startled Alfonso again, and looked at the broken coffee cup with an unbelievable face.
The white tiger didn't look at him, turned around and walked out of Alfonso's residence, and Xu Kun hurriedly followed.
"My lord, isn't it rude for us to do this?"
The white tiger looked back at Xu Kun, and his cold eyes made Xu Kun tremble:
"Impolite? Isn't it polite for them to come all the way to my Ming territory to show off their might? ”
Xu Kun knew that the white tiger was a brocade guard sent by the emperor, how could he dare to offend.
"My lord, this ...... These three days are too short a time for them to move their property! ”
Xu Kun's words made Bai Hu sneer:
"It's best if they can't move away, even people will stay in Macau forever if they leave late, and we don't plan to let them take everything with them."
Xu Kun is right, the Portuguese have been operating in Macao for many years, and no one is rich in oil.
Suddenly let them leave, all their years of operation will be in vain.
After the white tiger walked for a while, Alfonso reacted, looking at the broken coffee cup, he was extremely shocked and at the same time secretly thought:
"Huaxia kung fu is really good, far from what we can compare, but let your martial arts dominate the world, can you still compare with my flintlock pistol."
Reaching out to open the letter that I didn't want to read, my face was even more ugly.
This letter was written by Sun Chuanting, the first assistant of the Ming Cabinet, and of course it was to let them leave Macao, and the tone was even harsher than what Baihu said.
The Portuguese had long regarded Macau as their territory, how could they possibly leave.
After reading the letter, Alfonso couldn't help but be annoyed, and he screamed and tore the letter to shreds.
Since the matter has come to this point, they do not need to hide it, and directly control Macao by force, and completely turn Macao into Portuguese territory in the East.
"Someone."
Hearing the Governor's shout, a captain hurried into the hall and gave Alfonso a military salute:
"Your Excellency the Governor, what are your orders?"
Alfonso's face was pale, and he didn't know how to explain to the king if he lost Macau.
Portugal was originally a very small and poor country in Europe, and it came out to colonize because there was no way out.
It was after colonization that they sent the colony gold and silver and other valuable materials back to China in a desperate fate that made them strong.
How could they easily leave Macau, which was one of the treaty ports between Europe and the Ming Dynasty.
"Captain, now the situation is a bit grim, immediately order people to strengthen the defense of Macau, in order to prevent the Ming people from joining forces, drive out all the Ming people in the castle, and drive all the Ming people in Macao away within two days, and kill all those who don't leave."
"Yes"
The captain had long seen that the Ming people were not pleasing to the eye, and in their hearts only white people were the greatest race.
Immediately after the captain left, Alfonso ordered the navy to enter the harbor to strengthen the defenses.
They had five warships in Macao, all of which were relatively advanced at the time, and it can be said that the ships were strong and the guns were strong.
There are advanced warships and naval guns, there are also many shore guns to defend the city, and there are more than 1,000 heavily armed soldiers in the city, so there is no problem at all in defending Macao.
Most of their soldiers are mercenaries, most of whom are blacks, and these blacks are very combative.
Bai Hu did not go directly to the Daming local mansion, but checked the situation of the Macao garrison on the street.
Soon it was discovered that some soldiers began to drive away the people, and seeing that those soldiers were all hot weapons in their hands, Baihu immediately rushed to Xu Kun's residence.
Seeing the white tiger coming back, Xu Kun immediately got up to greet him with a smile on his face.
"My lord is back, come and taste the good tea that Xia Guan just bought......"
The white tiger waved his hand to interrupt Xu Kun's words:
"It's too late, they may have to drive the people away and prepare to take over Macau by force.
It is decreed by the Holy Father, if the Portuguese drive the people out by force, you are not their opponents, do not resist, and organize the people to leave immediately.
We must ensure the personal safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and in a few days the Ming Dynasty will recover Macao, and then you will organize the people to come back. ”
Xu Kun never thought that things would develop to this point, and he was a little at a loss at that time.
"This ...... How is this a good ......"
In fact, Zhu Youzhen was worried about injuring the people by mistake, so he let the people leave, and he did not expect that the Portuguese would dare to slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty.
After discussing with Xu Kun for a while, Xu Kun immediately asked someone to organize the people to leave Macao by boat.
Many Ming people have property in Macau and are reluctant to leave at all.
Xu Kun tried hard to persuade him, but there were still some people who were unwilling to leave.
"My lord, if they want money or don't want to die, we can't control it!"
The people were reluctant to leave, and the White Tiger had no choice but to send the Ming people who were willing to leave first.
"No matter, send all those who are willing to go to the other side and wait, it is estimated that our people will come over in two or three days to recover this place."
"Well, that's all there ......"
Why did the Ming Dynasty start with Macao first, mainly because Zhu Youzhen wanted to test the firepower of the battleships with the Portuguese in Macao.
Aren't they the first foreigners to come to the territory of the Ming Dynasty? Take them and sacrifice the flag.
