Section 270 Cousins

The ancestors of the old Qin Dynasty said that they would attack from afar.

In fact, the Crossing Crowd has long wanted to do the Portuguese vote.

Geopolitically speaking, a certain force that occupied Xiamen and Dayuan is now fully capable of blockading the strait.

European ships that want to go to Japan are now impossible to go north along the mainland or along the inner and outer coastlines of Taiwan, and all routes have to pass through the gate of King Shanda.

For the colonists, from this moment on, the area north of the line between Tainan and Xiamen was once again sprayed with the fog of war, and the situation returned to before the Portuguese discovered Japan in 1534.

The ancestors of the Han Dynasty also said that they looked forward to Shu.

The traversal forces that are vigorously integrating the existing territory, transferring the population, and investing in the development of basic industries in various places have naturally set their sights on Macao, which is the closest place to their own "non-subordinate".

Perhaps the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty could pretend to be deaf and dumb to Macao, but in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the crossing country, the Portuguese and the place called "Hao Jing Macao" in the era in which they were entrenched have gradually become a thorn in the side of some people.

First of all, unlike the red-haired Dutch, the Portuguese competed not only with the Crossing Group for gold, silver, and bronze but also for another very valuable resource, the maid, in trade with Japan.

When it comes to the slave trade, the Portuguese are the global role models of this era. Not to mention the booming slave trade in South America, even in East Asia, the Portuguese always put the slave trade at the forefront of every place they visited.

In 1543, Portuguese merchants and Jesuits, after entering Japan, began buying Japanese as slaves and selling them all over the world, including Portugal. Japanese women were also sold to Portuguese brothels.

And Toyosei Hideyoshi had a good impression of the Portuguese Jesuits, and in addition, in the plan to invade China, he hoped that the Portuguese Jesuits would be supported by military and military force.

However, the Portuguese sold more and more Japanese slave girls, which aroused the disgust of Toyosei Hideyoshi.

On July 24, 1587, he sent a letter to Coelho, deputy governor of the Japanese district of the Society of Jesuits, denouncing the slave trade of Portuguese merchants and the Society of Jesuits, and forbidding them to proselytize.

The Jesuit Japanese section was afraid that the Romans would teach them to trade in slave girls, so they lied to the Jesuit headquarters about the military situation and used Toyotomi Hideyoshi's translation to reverse right and wrong, which was the Jesuits.

On the Chinese side, the first Chinese slave in Lisbon, Portugal, is recorded in history, in 1540.

Chinese slaves were expensive in Portugal and were mainly purchased by the Portuguese nobility and the royal family, who were responsible for complex mental tasks such as translating documents. It was not until 1595 that the Portuguese government legislated a ban on the Chinese and Japanese slave trade.

By the middle of the century, the Portuguese Jesuits in Macau had about 5,000 slaves, all of whom were of all kinds, the largest being African slaves. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, Portuguese people in Macao continued to trade child slaves.

So, there is a natural conflict between the Crossing Forces and the Jesuits, a global slave cartel, and everyone is interested in the population, especially women and children.

In this competitive situation, coupled with the fact that the Portuguese in Macao controlled a large part of the import and export trade around Guangdong, this is a heinous crime in the eyes of some people, why did World War I and World War II start

In short, the magnates of the crossing country are not pleasing to the Portuguese now. The reason why we are just using a similar method to close the Japanese Merchant House and not take further action is that we are now consolidating the interior and cannot spare our hands.

Then the low-level reception specifications that Alonso got today at the senior level belong to the reason.

Unaware of the danger of the strategic environment, the envoy Alonso was touring the tiled toilets and toilets in the villa.

Since the ceramic tile production line cannot be imported, the existing ceramic tiles are handicrafts that are cut and polished by hand after kiln firing. In later generations, the kind of automated production line that covers a huge area and has complex processes cannot be imported or produced here.

Guests are amazed by the white-tiled toilets and toilets. Thanks to the blessing around the Imperial City, the villas on the riverside road are supplied with 24-hour hot water. After his entourage learned how to operate the faucet, Alonso couldn't wait to take a hot shower.

And after eating lunch delivered from a nearby special restaurant, Alonso has already decided to buy the house, which will be paid for by the Chamber of Commerce anyway.

At this moment, someone suddenly visited outside the door.

A dark-haired European dressed as a servant in a black breasted bolero, stockings, and wooden boots stood in front of the door, with a gorgeous invitation card on a copper plate in his hand. The content of this invitation is simple: Baron Juan de Belver Vargas invited Alonso to attend an afternoon dinner at the Spanish Trade Center.

"Oh, that's good news." After seeing the invitation, Alonso hurriedly ordered his entourage to open the suitcase and take out a delicate coat of black velvet from inside.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Alonso and his servants arrived on time to another trading house not far from the villa, which was the territory of the Spaniards. And Baron Juan, who had black hair, was already lined up in front of the door with his servants and a few merchants who lived in the merchant house.

Although in another 12 years, Portugal would become independent from Spain and establish the Bragança dynasty; But cousins are broken bones and tendons, whether it is faith or life, they are still inseparable.

This can be seen in the clothing of both envoys in the September weather, and the coats are of the same style as the Pulpovan coat, except for the different materials of silk and velvet.

It has been eliminated by emerging countries such as the Netherlands, and a round "raff" collar made of white crinkled silk is still worn around their necks.

In addition, the classic image of breasts, which look like leggings and are actually stockings, including breasts filled with fine linen, also appears on Oto Island, where thieves are entrenched

Somewhat similar to Alonso's name, the ancestral name of Vargas in Baron Juan's surname was also passed down by a brave knight, who rose up in 1085 when King Alfonso regained Madrid and later moved to Zaragoza.

In fact, the Vargas family entrenched in Zaragoza is a very powerful "county" family in the local area, this family has been a loyal vassal of the Duke of Zaragoza for hundreds of years, and the reason why the 30-year-old Baron Belfer can "operate" this non-hereditary baron title as the third son also reflects the strength of the Vargas family.

The two little nobles who were in similar circumstances, both of whom were not valued by their families, went to East Asia to pan for gold, and soon became acquainted.
