In the eyes of many ministers, the merit of recovering Taiwan is not as great as half of Jingbei Province's expansion of territory, and they don't even know how big Taiwan is.

Hou Xuanyan bought a government in Taiwan, and some people suggested that Fuzhou should be assigned to a county, after all, people at this time had not seen the standard map.

But for the Dutch and Franco, Hou Xuanyan's occupation of Taiwan directly made them so red that they scratched their ears and cheeks.

Franco-machine is the general name of the Ming Dynasty for the Europeans, because the merchants of Southeast Asia called the Europeans like this, and later spread to the Ming Dynasty. Later, in order to distinguish themselves from the red-haired Dutch, the Spaniards and Portuguese were called Francos.

Today's envoys are actually from Portugal, and they and the Netherlands have coincidentally sent people to come, and the Fujian Navy Division is temporarily in the stage of internal rectification, and they want to purge the poison of the Zheng family and Shi Lang, and they are really unwilling to send them into Beijing in two parts, so they simply let the Dutch who arrived first wait for a few days, and the two waves of people were sent to Jinling together.

The pro-soldiers led the delegation of dozens of people to the lobby of the outer palace, and Hou Xuanyan stood beside the interpreter of the Siyi Pavilion, staring at these white-skinned people who went to sea in the early days with a smile.

The Dutchman Olit and the people of the Dutch mission knelt down with a plop, in fact, at this time, it was not popular to kneel in the Ming Dynasty, only domestic slaves often did this. Hou Xuanyan and the Portuguese were taken aback, but Olit was smug and greeted Ann in Chinese with a thick accent.

Hou Xuanyan hurriedly said: "It doesn't have to be like this, get up quickly." ”

The pragmatic Dutch never insist on their own face because of this, and Hou Xuanyan does not discriminate against this in the slightest, which is a businessman attitude that he does not advocate, but also admires. It is not for nothing that the Netherlands has been able to rapidly develop from a small country to a sea coachman who is the hegemon of Europe.

The Governor of Macau, Vahiki, came in person, but did not choose to follow the example of the Dutch, but simply practiced ordinary etiquette.

Hou Xuanyan asked with a smile: "You have come from afar, and it is very hard, but our Emperor Jingyou's enthronement ceremony has been held two years ago, why didn't I see you come to congratulate at that time?" ”

The envoys of the two sides did not expect Hou Xuanyan to be so faceless, and they came up to ask this, in their worldview, the European continent is the center of civilization, and they naturally regard Hou Xuanyan as a relatively arrogant monarch of the Eastern barbarians.

Olit had a very good command of Chinese, and got up and replied: "Your Royal Highness, at that time, there was a war going on in your land, and although we wanted to come, it was too dangerous. ”

Hou Xuanyan was noncommittal, and asked casually: "Then why are you here now?" ”

Their conversation was very fast, and the Portuguese governor of Macau was still listening to the interpreter's previous conversation, and the sweat on his forehead was down.

"At the beginning of the year, we asked you to send troops to help us attack the common enemy of both sides, Zheng Yiguan, and now that Zheng Yiguan is dead, our Governor has sent me to thank you for your help in retaking Dongfan Island for us." After Olit finished speaking, he raised his head nervously and looked at Hou Xuanyan's expression.

With a bang, Hou Xuanyan slammed his hand on the table and scolded: "What nonsense, are you going to treat me as a three-year-old child?" When did our Ming Dynasty's war to suppress the rebellion turn into a war for you to recapture Dongfan Island? To tell you the truth, I have changed the name of this island to Taiwan Prefecture and set up officials and sailors to garrison it. If you want, you can do it, and when you go back, you can straighten out the soldiers and horses, and we will fight it out on the sea. ”

As soon as Olit heard this, this prince was really different from the previous master of the Ming Dynasty, and his greed for land was even higher than that of Europeans. Since this is the case, Olit naturally did not dare to ask for Taiwan anymore, but said: "Since the Ming Dynasty wants to take back Dongfan Island, we are willing to return it to the Ming Dynasty, but I hope we can be allowed to continue to use Chichicheng." ”

"Can I still use you? This is what I brought back from Zheng Zhilong, to tell you the truth, don't try to provoke the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty again, I will fight for every inch of territory, if you annoy me and turn your face, even Amsterdam will take it for you. ”

Hou Xuanyan seemed to be speaking to the Dutch, but his eyes kept looking at the Governor of Macau, and the threat was self-evident. By the time the translator finished speaking to Vahiki, his face changed, and although Macau was small, it was very important to Portugal. This is a bridgehead that can be traded with the Ming Dynasty, and it brings countless wealth every year. He originally wanted to come to get a piece of the pie, but where did he think that the new Lord of the Ming Dynasty would be so arrogant, in fact, the Dutch felt even more uncomfortable, because just a few years ago, Hou Xuanyan was still very polite to them. At that time, Hou Xuanyan needed Dutch technology, but the Dutch did not do anything for their Songjiang sailors.

In the solemn palace hall, the people of the two lives = one mission are sitting on pins and needles, and the atmosphere here is very depressing, especially the moody tyrant above, who has been testing their endurance.

Hou Xuanyan stood up and said: "Manraka is a vassal of our Ming Dynasty, and he has always been very deferential, not to mention paying tribute every year, and he is still the king who was personally canonized by our Emperor Taizu Gao. was destroyed for no reason before, and this incident caused public indignation in my Ming Dynasty, and the people in the market were all indignant. Some ministers even made extreme remarks, saying that if he did not help Manchurian restore the country, he would go to the Forbidden City to burn himself. These things have caused me to have trouble sleeping, and you are here today, so why don't we discuss how to solve it. ”

Manraka is now Malacca, which was once a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and was quite loyal.

Later, the Ming Dynasty implemented the sea ban policy, so that Manraka gradually got rid of the control of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty also lost this southern gate.

As long as this place can be recaptured, the vast South China Sea will be completely reduced to China's inland sea, and the distribution centers of the East and West will also bring great wealth.

Hou Xuanyan had to admit that this era was full of gold, and if it weren't for the delay of the short-sighted savage dynasty like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there would definitely not be hundreds of years of poverty and weakness.

In what is now the Malacca archipelago, Johor, supported by the Dutch, has established its hegemony among the small countries in Malacca. In general, it was a Manraka that was divided into several small countries because of Portuguese colonization, and later the Dutch came and supported one of them to drive the Portuguese out and became a semi-colonial country.

When Olit heard this, his face changed suddenly, if they could still bear the loss of Dongfan Island, and wanted to get involved in Manraka, it would touch their core interests, the spice business.

There is a saying in Europe that the Dutch look at their spice business more closely than any jealous person looks at their lover.

"The court of Manraka is chosen by their people, and the Ming can't rely on their own strength, so they have to bully the weak." Ou Liye argues with reason.

Hou Xuanyan sneered: "Hearing such righteous words from the mouths of you people is simply ridiculous. I open the skylight and say that you are the blackest people in the world. Since the beginning of the HNA era when the Eastern Continent was discovered, how many people have you killed? How much wealth have you plundered, and now you are running to my territory to talk to me about righteousness and morality? Don't think I don't know about your disgusting behavior, washing the blood on your hands can cover the smell of beasts on your body?

I tell you the truth, I want Taiwan, I want Macau, and I want Manchuria. When we return, even if we unite, my sailors will strike at any time to regain the status and glory we rightfully have in the East. If you are not convinced, come to war! ”

Hou Xuanyan is full of confidence, it may not be possible for the sailor to go to Europe to compete with them for hegemony, but guarding the huge empire, what are you afraid of at home.

All the people in the missions of the two countries were shocked by Hou Xuanyan's arrogance. In the center of the golden hall, the Oriental man who stood on a high place and looked down on them had an arrogance comparable to that of any human being, and both missions clenched their fists, eager to rush up and beat him violently.

Olit and Vashiki glanced at each other, an alliance was already inevitable, and they could not tolerate the entire eastern sea becoming the inland sea of the Ming Dynasty.

When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you, they didn't expect that their actions fell into Hou Xuanyan's eyes.

"How about it, Macau and Manraka, will you return them?"

Vashiki finally spoke, and said, "Your Royal Highness, your request is too much, and it is impossible for us to accept it. We will listen to you and go back to prepare our ships and fight with your great sailors on the seas. ”

When the translator of the Siyi Pavilion explained to Hou Xuanyan, Hou Xuanyan laughed instead of anger: "Go back? Since you are already going to war, we are enemies from this point on, and I, Hou Xuan, have played a horse for half my life, and have never released any enemy out of my territory. Come on, tie these up and put them in prison and execute them secretly. ”

The foreigners below who can understand Chinese were immediately shocked and angry, which was different from the Han people they knew, and it was not the consistent style of the Ming Dynasty at all. As the governor of Macao, Wahiki naturally knows that this country with a good face to the bone marrow pays the most attention to majesty and etiquette. Therefore, as the governor, he dared to come in person, and the previous Ming gave them too many illusions.

There were a few bold ones, because the weapons were confiscated when they came, like rushing to the high platform to kidnap Hou Xuanyan. The soldiers in the palace all crawled out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and they had not seen any scenes in the Northern Expedition for four years, so they would cut them when they drew their swords.

For a while, there was a wail in the main hall, and the scolding continued, Hou Xuanyan frowned, watched his soldiers slash and kill the envoys of the two countries, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is my main hall, now it is all bloody, quickly get some flowers and grass to come and go." ”

The two countries combined for nearly 100 people, and most of them died in the palace, but Hou Xuanyan did not feel cruel at all.

Each of these people had countless blood on their hands, and countless Han Chinese were slaughtered by them in Manchuria, Luzon, and Macao. The least worthy of pity and sympathy in this era are the white-skinned people. Everywhere they went, there was bound to be endless killing and plundering, and the purpose was very simple, that is, for wealth. To say that they are human beings is to exalt them, and the equally vicious Manchus can't compete with them.

After killing Franco and the Dutch, Hou Xuanyan immediately ordered his own soldiers to pass the order to the Fujian Navy Division and the Songjiang Navy Division. Taking advantage of the fact that their officials did not return and were certainly unprepared, they prepared to attack Manraka and Macau.

can minimize the loss, why waste the lives of his own sailors in vain, just for the so-called etiquette? Hou Xuanyan felt that they were unworthy because they were a group of brutes.

I've never seen a pig killed, so I let the pig go before killing the pig and played a game with him with my bare hands.

At the end of October, it was already very cold in most of the land of Daming, but the South Seas were still warm.

On the wharves of Songjiang and Fuzhou, the army is constantly flowing at night. Arms ships, supply ships, troop carriers, and warships were dispatched one after another, and the lights inside and outside the wharf were brightly lit, and the officers and men were on guard at all levels ten miles away, and no one was allowed to approach.

The sky has just revealed the white of the fish's belly, the sea breeze is cool, and when you look around, there are countless shadows and shadows of the battleships, some big and some small, sailing towards Manraka together.

The Fujian Navy Division preemptively attacked Manraka while the night march, and behind the Navy Division, there were countless requisitioned merchant ships, which were used as military ships to transport the Zhejiang soldiers to the sea. This was undoubtedly the strongest Northern Expeditionary Army at that time, as long as it was close to the land, there was no land they could not conquer. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty now fully obeyed Hou Xuanyan's orders, because every war would bring them infinite wealth and a wide range of roads.

Opening the gate of Nanyang is the dream of the Ming merchants, and it is the real golden road.

The Daming Naval Division won by numbers, first besieging the port, and the huge fleet could not start a decisive battle in the Manchurian Strait, which was not a good battlefield. The first purpose of the sailors was to force the enemy to death in the harbor so that their troop transports could land.

The tactic is simple, which is endless artillery suppression, which is simple and crude, and it is very practical.

The Dutch, who had just woken up, had no idea that they would encounter an attack of this magnitude here, and their mission was still "guest" in Daming, and most of the sailors were still sleeping with the emaciated local aborigines. Most of their warships parked in the harbor were blown up, and Hou Xuanyan had the best dock, and after contracting to merchants, it was extremely efficient. Therefore, he was not very interested in the enemy's warships, and the sailors never considered these things, and sank the enemy ships first.

Eight thousand Japanese soldiers rushed to the land of Manraka, and from this moment the slaughter once again descended on the islands.

The Manraka people believe in *** religion and are very brave in battle, but they are still a little worse than the Japanese soldiers. The soldiers of the Sultanate of Johor, supported by the Dutch, were defeated faster than anyone could have imagined, and the diminutive Japanese soldiers were worthy of the best vanguards, charging into battle without fear of death and with no weak swordsmanship. At the beginning, they turned into Japanese bandits, and the people everywhere along the coast were miserable. Now they have a unified command, it's like a wild dog domesticated into a hunting dog, and there is not a single general who does not like such soldiers.
