Wang Yan still decided to go to Macau, after all, only Xiyi knows Xiyi better, and Nanming wants to deal with Heyi, so he naturally has to find out what kind of country Heyi is.

The seventh governor of the Portuguese, Issusa, because of the good cooperation with Nanming in trade for more than a year, made the Portuguese make a lot of money, and he himself made a lot of money, and his position was very stable.

Two years after he took over power from the old governor Paul, he behaved in a more sophisticated manner, and did not act as panicked as he had when he first met Wang Yan.

Wang Yan came to Macao on the navy warship, although the navy's ship was not large, but it was a large number, and the momentum was quite magnificent, and a hundred warships sailed on the sea, and no one dared to offend easily.

When the fleet came to the port of Macao, the Portuguese merchant ships in and out seemed to be very busy with trade, and in the port, there were more than a dozen ships anchored and moored everywhere, each of which was no smaller than Wang Yan's boat, which made him a little shocked and believed Shi Lang's words even more.

After arriving in Macao, he was greeted by Wang Yan's old acquaintance, the Jesuit priest Bai Yingli, and the governor Isusa.

"Your Excellency the Duke, the Portuguese are proud to have such a powerful ally as you when they heard that you defeated the barbarian Tatars and killed the Tatar lords and dukes in the war in the north."

The two bowed and saluted, Wang Yan exchanged a few words of greeting, and then asked Bai Yingli about the missionary situation in Guangzhou, and then went to the governor's palace together.

Entering Macao from the wharf, Wang Yan soon found that compared with the first time he came to Macao, there were many more buildings in Macao, and the Portuguese had also increased a lot.

After Wang Yan settled down, he got straight to the point: "Since Zheng Zhilong of Fujian surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Dutch on the sea have become more and more restless, and the trade on the sea of the Ming Dynasty has been affected to a certain extent, and the imperial court is determined to eliminate this hidden danger, but the imperial court does not know much about the situation of the Dutch, so the governor wants to get some useful news from Macao." ”

Portugal had been annexed by the Habsburg dynasty in Spain before, and the Netherlands, which was also the Netherlands, was originally a place in Spain, and then due to religious, economic and other reasons, the so-called "beggar revolution" broke out, and the Netherlands gradually became bigger.

Portugal, which had been part of Spain for a long time, followed the war between Spain and the Netherlands for decades, coupled with conflicts over trade and colonial issues, and formed a great enmity with the Netherlands.

Portugal broke away from Spain in 1640 and became an independent kingdom again, but the hatred with the Netherlands remained undiminished, and the Netherlands, as the new overlord of the sea, naturally wanted to smash Portugal, which had gradually declined, to seize his interests and seize his colonies.

Listening to Wang Yan's words, Isusa waved his fist excitedly and said: "The hateful Dutch, the raids in the South China Sea have also affected the trade of Portugal, especially since they have taken away Malacca, collected a large amount of toll taxes from passing merchant ships, and unscrupulously occupied the fruits of Portugal, which is simply unforgivable. If the Ming Dynasty wants to go to war against the Netherlands, Macao will definitely help with all its might. ”

The Governor waved his arms and spoke with righteous indignation, as if the Portuguese did not charge tolls when they occupied Malacca.

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, he suddenly thought of the Dutch warships that Shi Lang mentioned, and Portugal is also Xiyi, and the armed merchant ships in Macao Harbor are so huge, are there also Dutch warships?

"I have heard that the Dutch have a kind of clipper, more than 20 zhang long and several feet high, with 60 guns, and that the Portuguese and the Dutch have fought many times, is there also such a ship?"

Isusa was stunned for a moment, and her excited face immediately froze, but she soon smiled: "Honorable Duke, Portugal and the Netherlands are old enemies, how can there be Dutch warships?" ”

Wang Yan could see from the face of the Portuguese governor that Portugal must also have large warships, but the advantage of the ships was the advantage of the Portuguese, the Dutch, and maritime trade, and the governor obviously did not want to share this kind of warship with the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, with the manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty, if the technology of the Xiyi warship is mastered, in just one or two years, the entire South China Sea will definitely be crowded with the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will even interfere in the trade of the Indian Ocean, which is a situation that neither the Portuguese nor the Dutch want to see.

At this time, Wang Yan's eyes couldn't help narrowing, but he didn't show his dissatisfaction, but didn't dwell on the matter of the warship, "The Governor came here this time, mainly to find out where the Dutch power on the sea is, Portugal and the Netherlands are both in the extreme west, can you tell the Governor about the situation in the Netherlands." ”

After what happened just now, Yi Susha's face was a little embarrassed, and he was afraid that Wang Yan would continue to ask him about the warship, and now that Wang Yan took the initiative to change the topic, he was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Bai Yingli: "Priest, please go and get a chart here." ”

A moment later, Bai Yingli brought a huge parchment roll into the room, and then unfolded it on the table, Wang Yan saw this, so he got up and came to watch, and Shi Lang on the side suddenly looked at the chart.

On the chart, it was marked in Latin, and Wang Yan couldn't understand it at all, but when he came to Macao before, he had seen a map of all countries, a map of all countries that did not draw the Ming Dynasty in the center, and was brought back to Guangzhou by Wang Yan, but after that, the trend of resisting the Qing Dynasty was really urgent, and all his energy was used to fight against the Qing soldiers, so he did not pay attention to the map again.

The one in front of him is similar to that one, but there are many more lines, presumably the so-called route, Wang Yan quickly found the location of Daming according to the shape of the terrain, and the same as the one he brought back to Daming, Daming's location is also in the corner of the map.

Izusa draws a small circle on the map with her finger. "Your Excellency Duke, this is the Netherlands that has betrayed God."

Portugal is a Catholic country, while the Netherlands is a Calvinist in Protestantism, and in the eyes of the Portuguese, the Protestant Dutch have betrayed not only the Church, but also God.

"So small? Small country of boogers. Yu Fangqi, the deputy general of the sailor on the side, looked at it and said in surprise.

Wang Yan frowned when he looked at it, and he was also thinking in his heart, such a small country, the distance from Guangzhou to Guangzhou on the map is more than several times that from Guangzhou to Beijing, he is so far away from Daming, it is estimated that it will take a year or two to walk just to go, how can he still have the ability to make trouble in the South China Sea of Daming?

Seeing Yu Fangqi's reaction, Isusa smiled and said, "Honorable general, the Netherlands is not small at all, there are Dutch colonies at the southern end of the Cape of Good Hope, in the north and south of the New World. In the Far East, Malacca, Sunda, Floris, Slan, and Taiwan are all Dutch territories. ”

Yi Susha said, while drawing a circle on the map, first drew a circle at the southern end of a continent, then a few points on a continent, and finally returned to Wang Yan is quite familiar with the Nanyang, according to the circle points of Issusha, he quickly saw that these places are the tributary states of the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know when it became the territory of the Dutch.

For a while, Wang Yan's face couldn't help but look a little difficult, Yi Susha saw this, but he didn't know what his intentions were, and then said: "This is Spain, he occupies the middle of the entire New World, part of the south, in the Far East they occupy the Philippines, and our Portugal is next to Spain, occupying the west coast of Africa, the south of the New World, Sri Lanka in the south of Tianzhu, in the South Seas, due to the attack of the Dutch, they took away Malacca and Sunda, which originally belonged to Portugal, so only Timor Island is left. ”

Yi Susha pointed out as he said that Wang Yanzhi had no concept of other new continents and Africa, but Luzon in the south of Taiwan had also been destroyed, which shocked him.

Westerners are rampant all over the world, conquering with a high civilization posture, but in the Ming Dynasty, they are despised for disdain, even if it is an enlightened official like Wang Yan, it is inevitable that he will have a great power posture, Yi Susha rarely saw the surprised look of the Ming Dynasty officials, especially a duke, he was forced to pretend to be comfortable.

"Your Excellency, can you have a copy of this chart?"

～～～

Wang Yan stayed in Macao for three full days before leaving by boat, he did not go to Qiongzhou to inspect as originally planned, but divided the troops into two routes, Shi Lang led more than half of the ships to Qiongzhou, and Wang Yan took 30 large ships and more than 2,000 soldiers, and slowly walked in the direction of Kinmen.

When the change in central Fujian first occurred, the life and death of Emperor Longwu were unknown, which made the situation of confrontation between Tang and Lu in the southeast undergo major changes.

After Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the Zheng group opposed the Qing forces, so they went to the east and west, the Zheng family was originally based on Longwu, but the whereabouts of Longwu are unknown, Zheng Zhilong's side nephew Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian and some generals transferred to the Lu Prison State, the veteran Lin Cha escorted the Tang King and other clans to escape into Guangnan, Zheng Chenggong went to sea by boat, and the huge Zheng Group was suddenly divided.

At this time, the gentry in eastern Mindong close to Zhejiang were all under the leadership of Lu Jianguo, but Zheng Chenggong did not accept the leadership of Lu Jianguo, but fortunately, the news that Longwu was safe and sound came later, and Zheng Chenggong continued to respect Longwu.

It's just that the defeat of Fujian began with Zheng Zhilong's rebellion against the Qing court, and even Emperor Longwu almost fell into the hands of the Qing court because of this change.
