Hearing this, that's another very important message. That is to say, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is going to fight Annam again!

To be honest, Johnson and the others, they don't care about how the Portuguese on Annam's side feel!

It's not just to make money when you're far away from home and run so far! As for those who are compatriots and not compatriots, in the face of interests, for them, it is just a fart.

Therefore, after being shocked when he heard the news, Johnson immediately came back to his senses and immediately replied: "My lord, the side of Hao Jingao and the side of Annan are not in a subordinate relationship, so they can't order what to do there." However, I can write to persuade them to make meritorious service and atone for their sins and serve the Ming Dynasty. In addition, I will immediately repair a letter and send it to Shangguan, and I can even directly report to our king, who orders that Annan must obey the will of the emperor of your country. Just ......"

He hesitated a little, but when he saw that the governor of Guangdong seemed to be a little unhappy when he heard it, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly explained: "It's just a long way, I don't know if you can catch up with the emperor of your country to fight Annan?" ”

Hearing this, the governor of Guangdong understood that his hesitation was not because of any concerns or conditions, but because of the distance, so he was relieved, and then said to Johnson: "The emperor has issued a clear decree that he will enter Annam in October, and order the two Guangxi armies to cooperate, and it will definitely be too late for you to go to the officials." ”

When he said this, he said indifferently: "In that case, then you Annam Franco-Men should ask for more blessings!" Without meritorious atonement, all that awaits them is death! ”

Du Chen, the governor of Macau, originally thought that the Ming Emperor would not defeat Dongwu so quickly, and it would not even be possible to defeat Dongwu, but he was naturally shocked. During the period when the governor of Guangdong spoke, he did not say a word.

However, when he heard that the Ming Emperor could let Portugal be the exclusive agent of the Ming Dynasty's overseas trade, any dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.

How could he not know that the benefits were so great! This is what happened during his tenure as Governor of Macau, and of course there is a credit to him!

Emperor Daming also said that in this Far East, he could even send Daming sailors to protect him, so that he would not be afraid of the Spaniards on the other side of Luzon, the Dutch in Batavia, and so on.

That's great news!

However, although he thought so, when he heard the words of the governor of Guangdong who didn't care, he felt that it was very contrary to military common sense, and he couldn't help but remind: "This lord, the emperor of your country fights with such fanfare, isn't he afraid that the enemy will prepare in advance?" ”

He dared to guarantee that Annan's side would definitely know the news that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was going to lead his troops to fight, and with preparation, wouldn't this battle be even more difficult?

Hearing this, the governor of Guangdong's face showed a sense of pride, and his hands arched in the direction of Yunnan to the west: "The emperor is wise and martial, invincible and invincible, and Annan is rebellious, what if they know it, how can they be the emperor's opponents!" ”

The tone and expression are full of strong confidence!

Du Chen was dumbfounded when he heard this, so confident?

Johnson was afraid that Du Chen would say something that would upset the Ming officials, so he immediately interjected, attracting the attention of the governor of Guangdong, and immediately talked about the details of his friendship with the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the two sides sat down and discussed the details, and finally formed a document, known as the Ho Jing Macao Agreement. The main contents are as follows:

First, the trade of the Ming Dynasty to Europe is all entrusted to the agent of the Francophone man, and will not conduct direct trade with other European countries;

Second, Daming's demand for Europe will also be represented by Franc machine. However, the price must be fair, if it is found that the Francophile dares to raise the price and make the money of the Ming Dynasty, it will cancel the first point of the agreement.

Third, the country of the Franc machine and the Ming Dynasty formed a brotherly state, the Ming Dynasty is the brother, the Franc machine country is the younger brother, if the Franc machine country is attacked, the Ming will send troops to assist; On the contrary, if the Ming Dynasty wants to attack the enemy, the Franco-Robot must also send troops to assist.

This is a principled framework, and as for the other details, they are conditioned on these three.

For Da Ming, in the future, Franc will be Da Ming's agent in Europe. Although it is beyond the reach of Europe now, it can influence Europe with the help of the Franco.

In addition, the Franc machine people have rich experience in sailing, and it is necessary for Daming to take the first step in the global strategy, and it is necessary to get relevant experience from the Franc people.

And this agreement is really a big pie that fell from the sky for the Franco, that is, the Portuguese.

Portugal had always been ruled by Spain, but with a high degree of autonomy. Later, however, when this high degree of autonomy showed signs of coming to an end, the Portuguese aristocracy reversed, declared independence in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and has been at war with Spain ever since.

At this time, for the Portuguese, what is most needed is support.

Becoming the exclusive agent of the Ming would give them enough wealth to not only cope with the war, but also make Portugal one of the richest countries in Europe!

In addition, recognizing Da Ming as a brother is equivalent to forming a military alliance. With such a strong foreign aid, Portugal's waist will naturally be a little harder. Even at this time, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have an impact on the war in Europe, but isn't there a Spaniard in the Far East? To be able to hit Spain is what Portugal urgently needs at the moment.

Therefore, after this agreement was negotiated, Johnson and Duchen were ecstatic. They are 100% sure that João IV will be ecstatic when this agreement is delivered to Lisbon!

With this agreement, not to mention that it was just the execution of Carlos, even if the Ming Dynasty killed all those Portuguese in Annam, they wouldn't care. Who let them not be long-sighted, and dare to offend Daming!

But after all, they are compatriots, Johnson and Du Chen jointly wrote a letter to Anders, the Portuguese governor on Annam's side, attaching the content of the agreement and the requirements of the Ming Emperor. They assured the governor of Canton that Anders would atone for his sins after reading the letter.

After these things are agreed, they will wait for the Francophile to give the agreement to their king to seal, and then the seal of the Ming Emperor will take effect.

Under the warm hospitality of Johnson and others, the governor of Guangdong had a lunch, and then pulled out Carlos and the two and hanged them in public in Haojingao.

If this matter had been changed before, then these Franc people in Hao Jing Ao would definitely have the sad feeling of a rabbit dying and a fox, and if they were executed in front of them, something might happen.

But at this time, they all knew what Da Ming meant, so they were all immersed in joy, and they even gloated over the execution of Carlos and the two of them: let you be greedy for money, and dare to collect Da Ming's rebellious money to fight against Da Ming, it is really self-defeating!

Of course, Carlos's body, they still disposed of it, and then they sent off the governor of Guangdong and his entourage. Among them, missionaries such as John Tong were not so happy.

Originally, their expectations were still very low, as long as Daming didn't expel them; However, when they saw that the Ming and Portugal had formed a brotherly state and given Portugal so much benefit, their sense of expectation immediately increased.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Ming Emperor's requirements for their missionaries remained the same. This made them feel very disappointed, and they had to wait for the reply from the Holy See.

Perhaps having witnessed the benefits of being a friend of the Ming Dynasty, John Tong consulted with the other missionaries, and then wrote a joint letter to the Holy See, together with the agreement to the King of Portugal, to send him away as quickly as possible.

In their letters, they repeatedly emphasized that the great empire of the Far East was a state of etiquette, and that visitors would not be discriminated against as long as they were well-intentioned. This is something that even many countries in Europe cannot do. However, if there is malicious intent towards the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Emperor has a saying: Although it is far away, it will be punished. Therefore, it is best for the Holy See to have a good relationship with Da Ming, even if you can't become friends, don't become enemies!

…………

During this period, Annan can be said to have three forces: two large and one small. Needless to say, the two natures are the Nguyen clan in the south and the Zheng clan in the north. One was overthrown by the Zheng family, but still occupied the Mo family.

Emperor Ming's previous will has been transmitted to Annan, and the leaders of these two large and small forces have known it one after another.

Originally, at this time, Zheng Jie, the powerful minister of Northern Zheng, was busy with the third large-scale attack on the Nguyen clan in the south. As a result, after receiving this news, he did not believe it at first, but after repeated verification, he immediately ordered to suspend all preparations for attacking the Nguyen clan in the south.

This Zheng Jie can be regarded as a capable person. According to Mo Jingkuan, the emperor of the Mo Dynasty who guarded Gaoping, when he heard about the civil strife in the Zheng family, he led his troops south to quell the rebellion. The result was that he was defeated by this Zheng Jie's troops.

Not only that, but even later, he counterattacked the past, not only captured Gaoping, killed Mo Jingkuan and fled north in embarrassment, but also killed Mo Jinggong, the emperor of the Mo Dynasty. It was also since then that the world of the northern Zheng clan was established in one fell swoop.

Nominally, however, Zheng was not an emperor or a lord of the state, but only a courtier of the Later Li Dynasty. However, he is a powerful minister like Cao Cao, and he is free to fiddle with the royal family of the Hou Li Dynasty. The current position of Li Zhenzong's emperor was coerced by Zheng Jie's father Li Zhenzong. By the way, the founding emperor of the Li Dynasty became the emperor of Annam because of the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty.

A character like Zheng Jie, if you want to say that he is stupid or something, then the people of Annan will not agree. Therefore, after Zheng Jie verified that the Ming Emperor was going to attack Annam, he immediately felt that with his own strength, he could not resist the Ming Emperor alone.
