The news that Wang Bo broke at the end of the meeting was shocking. At that time, the circle he drew on the map was not Shenzhen, but an island not far away. This island was called "Ho Kiang Macao" at the time, and later called Macau.

Although the Ming people at the venue of the Baietan's hotel that day came from a complex and social strata, there is no doubt that these Ming people are all social elites, and they have enough information, and even many of them were big men who used to do maritime business in the ocean, and they know very well what Macao represents.

Naturally, General Wang's words caused an uproar on the spot.

The absurdity lies in the fact that such a shocking event as the attack on Ho Jing O was actually put in front of everyone with a small reason of "showing pioneering ability".

No matter how much the participants thought about it, they didn't realize that one day their own family was so important that it could trigger the "two countries" to fight each other?

The attendees were flattered and the attendees panicked.

............................

In the 32nd year of the reign of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1553), the Portuguese obtained the right of residence in Macao from the local government of Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty at that time, becoming the first batch of Europeans to enter China.

After the Portuguese settled in Macao, they gradually expanded their territory and built and developed this small island for a long time, and more than 80 years have passed since the arrival of the people.

For the ancients, whose average life expectancy was only 30 years old, the Portuguese entrenched in Jingao has become an inherent situation that existed in their ancestors.

For this situation, the Ming Dynasty, which seems to be huge, but is already weak and sickly, and is obviously lagging behind the development trend of the world, is powerless to change anything.

In real history, just two years before the appearance of the Crossing Crowd, there was a serious confrontation between the Guangdong government and the Portuguese over the construction of the city wall for the Portuguese in Macao. In the end, although it ended with the Portuguese tearing down the wall, the only means that the Guangzhou government came up with in this matter was to weakly close the gate and cut off food......

Clashes like this were often played out during the years when the Portuguese were entrenched in Macau. Without exception, the Ming government has chosen soft solutions such as cutting off food and sending people to mediate. Cai Shanji, the political envoy in Fuzhou City, was able to go down in history because he personally came forward to deal with a Portuguese disturbance incident because of his "bicycle driving in Macao".

The question is, for a small place that is close at hand and has no rivers and seas, why not directly send a large army to flatten the matter?

However, the generals of Guangzhou were not fools, and the reason why they did not flatten the Portuguese in Macao was because they could not do so.

So what is it that endorses the Portuguese? Naturally, it was not the benevolence of the Ming and the apparent recognition of the jurisdiction of the Ming by the Portuguese, but the bronze cannons installed on the St. Paul's Battery, the armed merchant ships docked in the port of Macao, and the well-nourished sailors and local Portuguese soldiers who had been trained in global colonization activities.

In short, in Ho Kong Macao during this time period, the Portuguese are undoubtedly the real owners of this small island, not the Ming government that seems to have all the rights.

This is also the reason why the Ming guests were in a commotion after Wang Bo announced his plan to attack Macao today -- Hao Jing Macao is not a bandit village in the mountains, but a "hostile country" where the Yi people are entrenched, there are strong ships and ships, there are huge cannons, and there are economic and controlled armies.

Yes, no matter how much you deny it, Macao, a small place, is an out-and-out colony...... Understand the "enemy country" in the eyes of people.

The news was so powerful that the people who reacted were at a loss for a while. Even at the end of this meeting, the legendary General Cao himself appeared in person to communicate with the participants, endorse the tea and wine exhibition, and talk about the future, but it failed to suppress the deep shock in the hearts of the guests.

After the meeting ended, how the guests who returned home to digest and deal with this "welfare" news that was obviously given in advance by the crossing crowd left it alone. What is really important is that with the official announcement of the news of the crossing public, the next operation to attack Macau has entered the countdown.

..........................

For Macau, there is no doubt that the crossing has been premeditated for a long time.

After sweeping away the bandits, wearing official skins, they have de facto controlled the traversal people along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, and the next step is naturally to set their sights on the Nanyang, which has rich resources. However, Macau is like a nail in the coffin of the Pearl River, maintaining its own exclusive trade network.

As the saying goes, the toad crawls on the instep, does not bite, and responds to the diaphragm - in today's expanding forces, the bigwigs naturally can't tolerate this Portuguese colony to come back to Lao Tzu's teeth.

In fact, long before General Cao himself went north to King Qin, the crossing forces entrenched on both sides of the Taijiang River had already started a dialogue with the Portuguese regime in Macao. Of course, it is usually difficult to reach a consensus on such a topic based on the competition for development space, so it is not surprising that the talks between the crossing forces and Macao have collapsed.

Next is the return of General Cao Qinwang's victory, promoted to take over the seal, and usurped the Ming sea power and part of the Fujian and Guangdong military power.

By this time, the military campaign against the Portuguese was in fact irreversible. The only thing that the traversal lacks is the policy aspect...... The permission of the Ming Dynasty in terms of politics.

After all, the Portuguese have been entrenched on that island for more than 80 years, and everyone in the government and the opposition knows it. With the friendly relationship between the current and the Ming court, the traversal cannot ignore the emperor's own brutality, so in any case, the holy decree of the imperial court to "act cheaply" must be obtained by the traversal.

So, it just so happened that Xiong Wencan came to Guangdong.

After the old bear came, everything was solved. After the dormant period of the new official taking office, Xiong Da began a series of administrative actions. In addition to ordering the Zhangchao General Army to send troops to "assist" the local bandits, there was also one item: a formal report was sent to the imperial court, pointing out the dangers of the Portuguese entrenched in the mouth of the Pearl River, and asking the emperor to agree to eradicate them.

Of course, Old Bear won't be alone. Those who went to Beijing with Lao Xiong's concert, those who waved their flags and shouted for the people's lives, and the N more concerts of local conservatives in Guangdong who have long been unpleasant to the Portuguese people.

In ancient times, when information was not smooth, once the feudal officials who had the right to execute on the spot, once they wrote such a government affairs report with clear opinions, the matter basically reached the point of rolling their eyes or staring: the imperial court either agreed, or issued an order to reprimand.

So will the imperial court issue an order to reprimand the old bear? Jokes, not to mention that when Cao Zongbing faced the saint, he was vaccinated, that is, in the imperial court, Lao Xiong now has more reinforcements that have not been seen in history: Deputy Prime Minister Wen Tiren and the Great Eunuch Fangzheng Alliance.

Therefore, just five days before the Baietan-based promotion meeting was held, the governor of Guangdong, Yamen, officially received an order from the imperial court: Xu Xiong Wencan acted cheaply.
