***************************************************************************
After three salvos, the Huofeng-class cruiser fleet fired only three volleys, and the defense of Macao completely collapsed, and the white flags were hung out of each of the batteries that had been interrupted under the command of the governor.
Also, the covering firing of several thousand shells at a time is beyond the comprehension of the people, and at the same time makes them understand that it is a very unwise move to confront such an existence.
Since the Portuguese invaded Macau in 1557, although they have been trying to establish good relations with the feudal monarchs who ruled at the time, they have already effectively invaded China's national sovereignty by appointing governors to administer within their jurisdictions.
Pereira, like Kuichi, was a man of great luck, and he was granted amnesty, while the fate of the others was not so rosy.
As for the compensation conditions of the Kingdom of Portugal, there are the compensation conditions of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in advance, so they will have to compensate the astronomical amount of 90 million taels of silver, and in addition, because of the natural shells of this war, they also have to calculate money, and 100 million taels of silver is the general demand for their compensation, and the amnesty signing fee for members of the Portuguese royal family is another matter.
Yue Xiaofei told Pereira by the way when he sent Pereira, who had been bombarded like this and was frightened, out of the door.
"Alright, Mr. Pereira, you can try to go back to Europe now, and perhaps in the near future I will also travel to Europe once again, and collect my debts by the way. Oh, by the way, when you arrive in Malacca, by the way, let me tell the merchants there that we welcome merchants to come to Mingyue Bay in China to trade, as long as they abide by our laws and pay enough customs duties. It is worth noting that for the time being, they can only reach the freshwater port in the northern part of Mingyue Bay, and if they go elsewhere, it may cause us to misunderstand! ”
Yue Xiaofei's announcement shows that the current China Free State has officially joined the maritime powers of the Age of Discovery, and the merchants of the China Free State have also realized that their competitors are now about to appear, and it seems that building more new civil ships will be a top priority.
Although it is not difficult to dig new docks in Macau and Hong Kong, and it can attract a large number of nearby laborers to join Shenzhou City, it is not the ultimate solution to the serious problem of labor shortage.
Now, the materials are not worried, and the silver has never been worried, but the labor is ...... Labor...... This became a word that the merchants of the Free State of China were crying out. More labor is needed, whether it is any free labor that can be obtained from the shore, or cheap labor that captures the shaved heads of Qing soldiers, in short, labor is needed!
And their venerable Lord Protector had already thought of this!
The free market economy is an existence that is constantly fluctuating and changing, but as long as its changes are in a relatively fair market that is not subject to abnormal expectations from the outside world, especially from the administration, then its changes can be traced.
The focus of market demand will also shift back and forth in both supply and demand, and if it is not handled properly, it will collapse, which is an economic crisis or overproduction.
Although Yue Xiaofei didn't know much about economics, he knew that he didn't have to worry about technology, and he didn't have to worry about money with the gold reserves he had grabbed and earned. Naturally, the North Koreans, the Salvation Army, and various local forces on the shore cried and shouted to send food here in exchange for arms.
What is lacking in the Free State of China is people, because for the time being, the products of the Free State of China are still in an economic environment where supply exceeds demand. As for the lack of people, this is not difficult, and the simplest and most direct solution to the lack of people is to go to the Qing ruling area to grab it! By the way, it made the defense of the Qing ruled areas more difficult.
To this end, Yue Xiaofei and Murong Zhuo planned the "Deterrence Operation". The purpose is very simple, because the Qing army has been making trouble in Jiangnan recently, and it is necessary to give it a color to make them know and calm the people's anger. Therefore, this time I still plan to pick up the people in Jiangnan who have suffered greatly from the Qing soldiers.
Then use warships to harass along the Yangtze River to the north, so that the Qing army understands that their army cannot run around except to defend the city, otherwise the depth of their ruling area will become extremely unstable, and it will become the fat in the mouth of the Shenzhou army at any time.
In addition, it is to take away a large number of people, what if the Qing army does not want these places that have become wilderness?
"Well, your method is good, the Qing army in Jiangnan is not very honest, we must have a big move in Jiangnan or further north. Bolo is bold, we will move their cowards, and naturally there will be people who will make a big noise in their court! Let's wait and see the excitement! ”
Facing Yue Xiaofei's approval of his plan, Murong Zhuo was naturally happy in his heart. This is not because of Yue Xiaofei's praise, but after the detailed discussion of the last "China Raiders", Murong Zhuo understood Yue Xiaofei's plan.
It seems that the Shenzhou Free State did not deal a heavy blow to the Qing army, but under the premise of the continuous loss of the people, the collapse of the Qing army is only a matter of time.
Now, as long as this plan is carried out successfully, the Qing army will be in a great and rather difficult problem to solve.
That is, these places that have been cleaned by "professional cleaning" are still necessary!
Want! It means sending a large number of troops to garrison them, and at the same time, they have to mobilize supplies, food, and even some civilians to these no-man's lands.
No! Then it means that these places are open to the Shenzhou army at any time, and the Shenzhou army may go ashore from these places at any whim and launch an attack on the Qing army's vital place, and the only thing they can do at this time is to disperse the army and protect those strategic points.
To do it or not is a headache for the Qing court. Either they must disperse and have been massing one after another, intending to increase the number of troops to Bolo. At the same time, their supplies will be more difficult in the no-man's land due to the loss of the people.
By May 1648, another month after the assault on Macao, the weather had warmed up and Jiangnan was about to fall into a season of heavy precipitation, which began at the end of May and ended in mid-July.
During this period, the muddy ground is not conducive to the movement of troops, and the general military operation will fall into a low tide period for a period of time, and it is also the time when the army's awareness of prevention is the weakest.
Murong Zhuo's choice to go to Jiangnan at this time is obviously ill-intentioned, this season Jiangnan grain storage is about to run out, if it is said to move to Mingyue Bay, China, the people who have been bullied in the Qing army will naturally respond, and it will not be like "frog jumping battle" Most of them will move their hearts.
And the Qing court, which was fighting for southern grain, lost the people in Jiangnan, looking at how they transported grain and how they could afford to feed so many soldiers, this was really something that Murong Zhuo couldn't figure out for the Qing court.
