Zhang Qiang's arrangement and reaction, the Qing army was not unaware, but there was no way, or the Qing army had confidence, because Ganshan was pacified, and the Qing army could finally transfer troops south.

Everyone arranged this way, but it was not this side that fought first, it was the Portuguese and the Southern Ming Kingdom near Guangzhou Mansion.

Due to the arrangement of the Huaxia army, the Portuguese lost their previous left and right sources in commercial trade, and the Portuguese were arrogant, unwilling to bow their heads to bow their heads with the power countries of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Huaxia army they don't have to think about it, Zhang Qiang originally for trade, for financial expenses can also trade with them, and even sell them Jingai 1 arquebus, and now they blatantly support the Qing army, how can Zhang Qiang let them do business while helping their enemies?

Therefore, they completely cut off any business with the Portuguese, and only Zheng Chenggong will be left and right, and do business with them, the Zheng family can not change the pirate temperament, not for a family and a country, only for their own survival, only to make money, and now Zheng Chenggong for Zhang Qiang's promise, in order to get more ships, directly cut off the trade with the Portuguese.

Now the Portuguese are no longer their biggest trading partner.

Their trade with the Southern Ming countries was reduced to smuggling, but how could such a trade satisfy a large Portuguese in the Age of Discovery?

Although Longwu Zhu Yujian had friction with the Huaxia Army and made some small contradictions from time to time, everyone had some common language in resisting the Qing Dynasty and resisting foreign aggression, not to mention that compared with the courtiers in history, they poured into each other and fought each other, and the Longwu Dynasty at this time could be said to be a dominant family, thanks to Zhang Qiang's repeated poaching and pitfalls, which made the courtiers and officials of the Longwu Court become united.

Facing the threat of annihilation several times, Longwu and the hundred officials also woke up, and began to become unified, with a trace of openness and efficiency at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the whole army was armed, and did not dare to slack off at all.

The Portuguese had no trading partners, no business, and even if they had some dealings with the Qing army, their business could not be provided by the Qing army.

Tea this item, can not be provided, tea business in Fujian and Zhejiang, Anhui, Suzhou, these places to provide tea accounted for most of the Portuguese tea trade, other places to provide tea business may be able to make up for it, but where the distance is not to say, but also the war, Guangdong can also have business, but now Guangdong for Longwu Nanming occupation, and the Chinese army a unified caliber, blockade the Portuguese trade, the Portuguese on wax.

The entire southeast coast, the distance is the world of the Zheng family, the near shore is the Chinese army's sailors patrolling and guarding, the Portuguese and all the Taixi people to the territory of the Japanese or Qing army have to detour to the sea off the treasure island, the Pacific Ocean, the increase of thousands of miles of voyages, so that the cost of the Portuguese business increased, the Portuguese business plummeted.

The entire three counties occupied by the Portuguese became chaotic, Zhangzhou, Chaozhou, the Chinese army blocked the river bank, not allowed a sail to go to the sea, there are militia and garrison patrols, the villagers are not the Portuguese to deal, if there is disobedience, the whistleblower will be rewarded, the offender will be beheaded by the whole family, the blockade of the Portuguese can be said to be from the root.

The Portuguese tried to use their huge ships and cannons to pry away the Huaxia army on the other side, but a detachment of the Fourth Fleet stationed nearby made the Portuguese lose their temper with a dozen Clark ships and two dozen armed merchant ships.

Because it was dozens of ships, the ships had ramming angles, pointed bottoms, hard sails, and a double deck where guns could be placed, and it was easy to place a dozen guns on them.

The bottom compartment is a nine-pounder gun, and the upper deck is a six-pounder gun, in this era of sails, such a firepower configuration is not at all smaller than that of the armed merchant ships of the Portuguese, perhaps the armed merchant ships with greater firepower than the Cantons, but in terms of maneuverability and combat performance, the Chinese Cantonese ships fighting in the coastal waters are no worse than the armed merchant ships of the Portuguese.

Even the Clark merchant ships are not as agile and maneuverable as the Canton ships, or even faster.

What's even more terrifying is that the Huaxia Army also has Galen armed warships, more than 180 tons of Galen armed warships, and the Fourth Fleet has more than 100 warships, such warships, even if they are placed in the Portuguese, Dutch, and Spaniards, are warships that can sail far away and return to their motherland, but because the ships are small, the endurance is not enough, and they are not as good as other ships in terms of resisting wind and waves, but there are also people who operate such battleship-style sailing ships to follow the large army to the Ming Dynasty in the Far East.

Of course, the Fourth Fleet not only has Galen armed warships of this class, but also has a model of more than 350 tons, with 36 guns, and the bow and stern are reinforced with 12-pounder guns, and the 12-pounder guns of the Huaxia Army are more powerful than the 12-pounder guns of the Tessians.

The Tessians include the Spaniards, the Dutch, the Portuguese, and the British, which is the abbreviation of the Ming Dynasty for Westerners.

The artillery of these countries has its own regulations, the quality level is uneven, and the power of the artillery is different, but the artillery of the Huaxia Army is all standard, all have a unified standard, the weight is lighter, the shells hit farther, and the power is greater.

Compared with their eighteen-pounder guns, it was not bad, and even when firing at each other, it was possible that the armed ships of the Chinese army equipped with twelve-pounder guns, even the twelve-pounder guns equipped with the slow Daifuku ships could hit the enemy ships before the Portuguese eighteen-pounder guns.

In such an encounter, Portugal was slapped in the face, and then in the face, and suffered heavy losses from the beginning of the attempt, and the Fourth Fleet even rushed into the harbor, shelled several batteries, damaged a twenty-four-pounder gun battery, and withdrew safely with a little injury, which surprised the Portuguese.

In the past, the superiority of Westerners was gone, so they died down, not provoking the Huaxia Army, and blockading it, but for the Nanming Kingdom, which was much weaker than the Huaxia Army, Longwu Nanming was not so polite, and repeatedly provoked them, and originally had some jealousy towards them, and the Nanming Kingdom with a good impression could not bear it, and in the face of the opponent, where the pressure of the Qing army was not very great, and after Feng Shuangli, the original general of the Great Western Kingdom, shared the pressure on the south, Longwu finally freed up his hands to deal with the Portuguese.

First, there was friction between the small armies of the two sides on the border line.

These were some of the Xiangyong-level troops in the Southern Ming Army, fighting against the original Ming people organized by the Portuguese near Xiangshan and the border of the Trench Gate, and the patrols organized by the Vietnamese, Malays, and Japanese ronins who wandered in these places.

Of course, the Nanming army at the level of township courage couldn't beat these guys who were idle all day long and endangered the society by force, and later it was the regimental training of the Nanming County Ya in the nearby county seat, and this time it was half a catty and eight taels, and the two sides were killed and injured by each other.

Nanming felt a loss on this side, reported it, and then sent a new Nanming army stationed in the local area.

The Portuguese also felt that they were at a loss, and mobilized more of these mercenaries to come over, and the soldiers were led by the original Nanming generals, who took refuge in the Portuguese, and their ancestors were here as comprador businessmen, and had close contacts with the Portuguese, and then the bloodline was not pure, and his father married a woman who didn't know whether it was a Portuguese or a woman from that Western country as a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to him, and then he went to the Nanming army here to mix up and take over, and then the vicissitudes of life, the Nanming forces rose and fell, and he was not the Nanming general. He came back and took refuge with the Portuguese and became the local garrison officer of the Portuguese in the Trench Gate.

Now the two sides can fight.

The small friction of dozens of people was later developed into a small team of hundreds of people fighting each other, and you came and went, killing for many months.

Finally, the two sides couldn't help it, constantly gathering troops, constantly fighting with small forces, the battle between the two sides was imminent, the two sides didn't know what the reason, they had been restrained, and when Zhang Qiang intended to strengthen the anti-Qing forces, Longwu finally couldn't help it, and sent Huang Binqing to lead the army, and he must give the Portuguese a good look.

In fact, it is not only that, the contradiction between Longwu Nanming and the Portuguese is that the place where the Portuguese are located is too prosperous, and the officials of the Longwu court can't stand it, they want to take it back, get the convenience of trade by themselves, and increase the income of the Longwu court.

This place in Guangdong, the Ming Dynasty is a very reckless place, the opening is not very favorable, the output is not much, and the people are more brave, barbaric, aggressive, in addition to fighting, there are not many people who love to read, love the court, there are a lot of seedlings of rebellion, Nanming's finances cannot make ends meet, but also heavy troops to suppress bandits, these bandits often run to the Portuguese place to hide, which makes Nanming's ministers who are interested in recovering the country feel that they do not pull out here, it is difficult to feel at ease, so they have to ignore the friction with the Portuguese, and want to let the general direction of the exhibition.

The current Nanming, unlike the Qing Dynasty after 184o in the Qing Dynasty, is respectful to foreigners, afraid and humble in their bones, not to mention the Guangdong people who have always been ambitious, not to mention the two stunned people who dare to carry a hoe to dig your ancestral grave, they are not afraid of the Portuguese.

This kind of exhibition is like an undercurrent hidden under the water, which becomes more and more turbulent, and finally emerges from the water, and the two sides move the real fire.

As soon as Huang Binqing came, he led people to slaughter several villages on the other side in a row, and killed all the people who supported the Portuguese in the original Nanming, leaving no chickens and dogs, and those homeless people turned around and ran back to the moat to hide.

Then the Portuguese sent people to lead a large army back to trouble the Southern Ming Kingdom, and the battle between the two sides began.

At this time, Su Guansheng led tens of thousands of troops and surrounded the moat gate, and the two sides fought with swords, muskets and artillery.

It's not lively.

After several supports from Zhang Qiang's Huaxia Army, the newly recruited hundreds of thousands of troops in the Southern Ming Kingdom were all formally trained.

The officials and generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty are not stupid, the land of the Ming Dynasty has been like this, the miracles of the Huaxia Army are like dazzling stars, hanging in the sky, even if they can't reach the glory of the Huaxia Army, they also know how to train the new army, how to use muskets, and the use of firearms has penetrated into the bones of the generals and soldiers of various forces in the south.

Techniques and tactics have been taught by the Huaxia Army several times, and how cold weapons and hot weapons cooperate in combat, the generals of Nanming and the officials of Nanming Shizi will know it after a little pondering.

So the two sides fought.
