The spring in Goa in March is bright, cool and breezy, the climate is very comfortable, and the mood of Count Shivera during this time is even more comfortable, because the Ming expeditionary army is about to arrive, it is a full 50,000 troops, he sent a letter of help to the past, His Majesty the Ming Emperor immediately sent 50,000 troops to support, what a grace, what a face!

On this day, news came from the sea that Daming's fleet would arrive in the port of Goa at noon, and Count Schwila immediately became as busy as if he had taken a stimulant. Bunting was planted, banners were raised, flowers were put up, red carpets were rolled out, and the entire port of Goa was displayed by him; There is also a welcoming team, his guards must be brought, Luo Siwei and his two hundred Praetorian Guard soldiers don't need to be called, except for Kong Dede, who wants to say hello.

Shi Weila hurriedly ran to Conde's room, wanting to discuss with him about sending someone to meet the Ming Expeditionary Legion, but found that this thing was eating tofu with two indigenous beauties in his arms bare. This is still enough, Schvila immediately said angrily: "Comde, please pay attention to your image, you are the governor of India, do you know?" The dignitaries of the Ming Empire are about to arrive, are you still here merry and happy, decent? You say, are you decent? Are you trying to disgrace the face of our Portuguese Empire? ”

Hearing this, Kong Dede rolled his eyes, and helplessly patted the two beauties in his arms and asked them to bring the dresses. This thing is very nervous today, he can't afford to provoke it, let's let it go, he smiled while putting on his dress: "Hehe, Svera, my friend, don't be so angry, I'm not changing my clothes, it's still early, don't worry." ”

Schvera immediately jumped up like a cat on its tail and shouted, "It's still early, Daming's fleet is about to arrive at the port, do you know?" What about your defenders of Goa? What about your cavalry? Why are there only recruits on the docks that you recruited? ”

Oh, this neuropathy, is it necessary to be so excited? Kong Dede was really afraid of him, and continued to laugh and said: "Hehe, isn't there still your guards and General Luo, I'll bring the guards over again, it's too troublesome for the defenders and cavalry to gather, so forget it." ”

Shi Vera originally came to discuss with him, but as soon as he was stimulated at this time, he forgot about this stubble, and directly forced: "No, you are the master here, and now that the distinguished guests of Daming are here, you must welcome them with the greatest sincerity." ”

Comde and Schwila have been friends for so many years, they are very familiar with him, this thing is usually easy to talk to, once he starts a nerve, you better not provoke him, otherwise he may go out and hurt people every minute! Listening to his tone, it was not enough to send more people, so Kong Dede had no choice but to shout: "Come on, go and let the city guards and knights gather on the dock and prepare to welcome the distinguished guests." ”

This is about the same, Schwira watched the herald run out to give orders, then nodded with satisfaction, and then, with a puff of smoke, ran out and arranged for other things.

Near noon, Schvila and Conde stood on the pier and looked at the sea in the distance, and behind them were four phalanxes, namely Luo Siwei led two hundred Praetorian Guards, Conde's guards, Schwila's guards and more than a hundred cavalry, then the phalanx of more than a thousand city guards, and then the phalanx of ten thousand recruits, almost half of the huge pier.

Soon, dense black spots finally appeared on the sea in the distance, and Schvila danced excitedly: "It's coming, it's coming, it's finally here." ”

Kong Dede smiled bitterly and shook his head, it's just an army of 50,000, it's not that I haven't seen it, is it necessary to be so excited? Just over a month ago, the 50,000 troops of the Mughal Empire were repulsed!

The army of 50,000 is actually quite spectacular if it really stands together, and it is more than a mile long to form a phalanx, but it is nothing compared to more than 500 galleons that can carry more than 100 people. What is the concept of more than 500 galleons that can carry more than 100 people, one is forty or fifty meters long, more than ten meters wide, and one hundred is four or five thousand meters, plus the interval between ships, a fleet of more than 500 large ships, even if there are five in each row, it is more than ten kilometers long! The scene was so spectacular that it looked like a giant dragon on the sea, and even if you were standing on a big boat in the middle, you couldn't see the head circumference at all!

After about a quarter of an hour, the dragon finally slowly approached the port, and the port of Goa was considered a big port, but the giant ships tens of meters long could only dock five at a time, so the fleet could only stay on the surface of the sea in a long line, and docked in rows.

The first row of giant ships slowly sailed towards the port, starting with a super giant ship more than 100 meters long and 20 meters wide, this is Zheng Zhilong's flagship Sea Dragon, which is used for coercion, but he did not pretend to be forced in front of the allies, but made Hou Shilu show his face. Even in the Age of Discovery, such a super giant ship is very rare, and the great powers basically don't have it, because they won't be bored to build such an impractical big ship, only the Ming Dynasty has this kind of super giant ship.

The super giant ship more than ten meters high stopped in front of him, even Comde, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, felt a huge sense of oppression, and Schviera was even more excited and red, with a proud look, as if this ship belonged to his family.

This time, Comde and Schwila did not board the ship to greet them, because there were still hundreds of big ships waiting behind them, and if they were inking up and down the ink, it was estimated that these more than 500 big ships would not be able to be unloaded tomorrow night.

After the giant ship stopped, the stairs were lowered, and the first person who appeared at the top of the stairs was not a person, but a big flag, the Sun, Moon and Dragon Flag!

When Shi Weila saw the sun and moon dragon flag, he immediately screamed excitedly: "Oh, the one who bought the cake, the sun and the moon dragon flag, the sun and the moon are the same as the light, it is the first-class army of the Ming Dynasty, oh, thank you for buying the cake, now we don't have to worry, even if the entire Mughal Empire gathers all the armies and rushes over, it's fine!" ”

Kong Dede asked with some skepticism: "First Class Legion, are they all as powerful as General Luo's military advisers?" Impossible! ”

Schvila said disdainfully: "How is it impossible, I don't know, wait to be polite, their legion commander is a first-class member." ”

Kong Dede asked puzzledly: "What kind of official is the first product officer?" ”

This is really hard to explain, because the officials of European countries do not have grades, Schvila thought about it and bragged: "A first-grade officer is equivalent to a duke, and our earl is only equivalent to a third-grade officer in Daming." ”

Kong Dede was startled, the one who bought the cake, the duke, what a big official!

At this time, the ship had already begun to descend, a strong guard holding the sun and moon dragon flag walked in the front, and then Hou Shilu and a group of generals walked down the stairs.

Seeing this, Luo Siwei hurriedly ran forward from behind, standing beside the stairs and waiting respectfully. After all the generals walked down and gave way to the staircase, Luo Siwei immediately ran to Hou Shilu, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The last general, Luo Siwei, the general of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard, will see Lord Admiral." ”

Hou Shilu did not let him get up immediately, but respectfully took out a holy decree from his arms, and then said loudly: "Luo Siwei listens to the decree." ”

Luo Siwei hurriedly knelt on his knees, bowed down respectfully, and lay on the ground.

Hou Shilu then read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said:

Luo Siwei, a staff member of the First Army of the Praetorian Guard, was loyal, brave and witty, and had high achievements in hard work, and was specially promoted to the deputy general of the First Army of the Expeditionary Force, with the rank of general soldier. Chin this. “

Luo Siwei kowtowed respectfully and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." “

Then he raised his hand and respectfully accepted the decree.

Hou Shilu handed over the holy decree to him, and when he kowtowed again to thank him, he stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "General Luo, we will be a family in the future. “

At this time, Svera and Comde had already greeted him, and Luo Siwei hurriedly introduced: "This is Count Svera, the emperor has bestowed the Ming Dynasty with sincerity, and this is the Portuguese Governor in India, Count Conde. “

Hou Shilu gave his hands one by one, and Shi Weila asked a little respectfully: "I don't know the name of this adult." “

Hou Shilu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The commander of the First Army of the Ming Empire Expeditionary Force, the commander of the commander is also known as Hou Shilu. “

Shi Weila has never understood the difference between this admiral and the admiral's acquaintance and the admiral's affairs, he still thought that they were all Zhengyipin members, and seeing that this 'sure enough' in front of him was a Zhengyipin master, he immediately stammered: "Lord Hou has worked hard all the way, why don't you go to the city with me to rest first, and the things here will be handled by your subordinates." “

Hou Shilu hurriedly refused: "You see, so many soldiers have to be assembled, and the weapons bought by Master Kong Dede have to be handed over by hand, and the commander really can't leave, so let's not bother for now." “

Seeing Hou Shilu's serious face, Shi Weila no longer dwelled on this issue, he looked at the holy decree in Luo Siwei's hand, and asked with a little envy: "I wonder if the emperor has any will to pass on to me?" “

When Hou Shilu heard this, his head couldn't help but feel a little messy, he had long heard that this thing had always regarded himself as a Ming official, it seemed that he really meant something, but the emperor's meaning was not there, he quickly explained: "The emperor didn't give you an order, but the emperor asked me to bring an edict." “

How should this edict be received, Shi Vela really doesn't know, he looked at Kong Dede next to him, thought about it, or stand and forget it, let Kong Dede know that he is not good after all, as for Hou Shilu's side, Da Ming doesn't have a sentence, so that those who don't know are not guilty, and the general meaning seems to be that if I don't know how to say the message, then I won't blame people for standing and picking them up.

When he thought about it, he simply pretended to be confused and said, "Verbal? Did the emperor ask you to bring me a message? “

Hou Shilu didn't care whether this goods were standing or kneeling, anyway, this goods were not real Ming officials, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "The emperor decreed, the south of Goa belongs to Portugal, and the north of Goa belongs to the Ming Dynasty, for the time being, the Ming Dynasty will not launch an attack to the north, you can develop to the south, occupy the entire southern half, and the Ming Dynasty will help you hold the first line of Mysore." But you can't attack the Mughal Empire to the north, for the time being, the Ming Dynasty doesn't want to start a war with the Mughal Empire, if you want to attack the north, then the Ming Dynasty can only withdraw its troops. “

Conde was in such a hurry next to him, and as soon as Svera ran over, he stuck with others, and he forgot that he was the master here. He really wanted to ask, what about my musket, what about my artillery, but he doesn't know Chinese. At this moment, he saw that all the Ming generals next to him knelt down, and the first-class officer seemed to be giving some order, he seized the opportunity, grabbed Shi Weila and asked, "What is he talking about?" What are these people doing on their knees? Ask me about muskets and artillery. “

Shi Weila was experiencing the dictation of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "He said, the north of Goa is the Ming Dynasty, and the south of Goa belongs to us, if we obediently develop to the south, the Ming Dynasty will help us hold the Mysore line, and if we fight to the north, the Ming Dynasty will withdraw its troops." They've brought all your weapons, and they'll give them to you later, what's your hurry? “

Konde was relieved when he heard that the weapons had arrived, as for what to fight north, just kidding, the Mughal Empire is not native, he has this little force to deliver food to people, whoever likes to go, he will not go anyway.
