"I'm happy to share, after all, you've shared the spices you've shared with us for decades." Yang Changfan spread his arms and said, "Just like you transport the spices to Penghu and we act as the agent for the East China Sea, we will also ship them to Malacca or somewhere, and you will act as the agent for the West, and the price will be the same as yours, so we will not take advantage of it." ”

"Please be kind to the captives." Sagaru got up and said a word in Portuguese to Canelias, who nodded heavily.

The translator understood this sentence, and whispered to Yang Changfan: "Shajialu made him ready to sacrifice for the motherland." ”

Well, the talks fell apart. Yang Changfan really thinks that his request is not excessive, and he just gets the place he occupies.

Sagaru nodded and left.

"Listen to my advice, just a word." Yang Changfan got up and said, "After you return to the fleet, wait for three days, and then let them attack in three days." ”

Shagaru said in a deep voice: "The people of the motherland live in such a hell, and we will not wait for a moment. ”

"First of all, I think I am very merciful with my captives." Yang Changfan said unhurriedly, "Secondly, no matter what you think, there are more people in Malacca, right?" ”

Sha Jialu can understand Chinese, combined with Yang Changfan's expression, he was shocked: "This is impossible!" Your fleet is here! ”

"Shagaru, you should know that in the East China Sea, we may be the strongest fleet, but we are by no means the fiercest."

“……”

"Listen to me, attack three days late, wait for news from Malacca, it's only three days, I can't do anything."

"It can't be, goodbye."

Although Sagaru looked determined, he was really flustered in his heart.

Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing, Shaoxing, Ningbo.

These places are all garrisoned by tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of Ming troops.

But the pirates still dared to come.

At present, in Malacca, the Franc Machine East India has exhausted its elite soldiers, and the remaining Franc Machines are afraid that there are not enough thousands of people.

Yang Changfan revealed the news early and asked Xu Hai to lead the bandits to the South China Sea and the Sulu Sea to bypass, avoiding the Franco's fleet and taking Malacca. Malacca is undoubtedly the richest place in the South Seas, and with the full force of the Franco, it is attractive enough for them.

Judging from the information given by the black technology, Xu Hai has gathered six groups of pirates, more than 30 small and medium-sized ships, and nearly 2,000 pirates have sailed into Malay waters and will enter Manila within three days.

In addition, Yang Changfan also sent someone to reveal the news early that the Portuguese-Chinese fleet was about to fight and Malacca was empty, so as to incite the Javanese Acehnese and the Malays from the Malay Peninsula to attack Malacca.

Although each side is unreliable, perhaps all parties are rushing up to the top to be a little more reliable.

The basis of oriental tactics, encircling Wei to save Zhao, all the combat power of Portugal in the East Indies is these, and the battle line is so long, if the information is smoother, Yang Changfan is eager to send a message to the Indians.

What annoys him now is that the information is too slow, and the Portuguese fleet does not know the danger of Malacca, and if he blindly goes forward and fights stupidly, this trick will be in vain. Therefore, he unreasonably persuaded Shagaru to send his troops later and to give time.

……

Sulawesi, outside the port of Kendari, the Combined East India Fleet of 64 warships is waiting for the final orders.

Portugal had never sent a fleet of this magnitude without a national conflict with Spain or Turkey.

The new flagship Manuel, which has just arrived in the Indian Ocean for service, is the world's largest galleon at 56 meters, without taking into account the Zheng He, of course.

In the Manuel's war room, the forty-seven-year-old Debraganza, Viceroy of Portugal and Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet of India, is looking at an oil portrait on the wall, the figure in the painting is about his own age, with the same thick brown beard and blue pupils, except that the sapphire on the man's round hat and the huge extravagant gold ornament on his chest symbolize his glory, he is the greatest king of Portugal, Manuel I, who ushered in this era that belongs to Portugal.

It is inevitable that there is a waste of oil paintings in the cabin, but this is not the case on the Manuel, which inherited the great surname of Manuel and sailed across the ocean to India, where he will carry the mission of expanding the territory and defending the honor.

De Braganza could not remember how many naval battles he had commanded, and normally, if the enemy had 50 ships, he would only need to deploy 5 Portuguese ships to win without casualties.

Never before has the Navy assembled a fleet of this magnitude other than in the context of a national conflict with Spain or Turkey.

Looking back at the glorious legends of the past, the last large-scale naval battle was the Battle of Diu in the Indian Ocean more than 50 years ago, the ultimate decisive battle between the Catholic world and the Mouslin world in the Indian Ocean, and the Mouslin world gathered a combined fleet of 200,000 warships under the patronage of the vicious Venetian merchants.

And the then governor Almeida had only two thousand soldiers and 18 warships.

But Almeida did not flinch, knowing that victory would belong to Portugal and to the great King Manuel.

By the time the lagging ****** attempted to ram the broadside, the Portuguese navy had sunk them a hundred yards away.

In one day, the ships of the ****** Combined Fleet were destroyed, while the Portuguese Navy paid only a dozen wounds, and 18 battleships were intact.

Since then, in the Indian Ocean, in Southeast Asia, the Portuguese navy has formed a tradition of one against ten, and no one has ever doubted that the Portuguese warships cannot be one against ten.

But at this time, Debraganza knew that he was a little shaken.

The Eastern Fleet is not comparable to those small fishing boats.

The legendary Zheng He, twice the size of the Manuel, and equipped with their own modified longer-range guns, as well as the Venetian galleys, recalls the most ferocious pirates of the Mediterranean.

What's even more terrifying is that Canelas has failed. De Braganza allowed defeat, but he could hardly imagine that the Portuguese had failed without firing a shot and fleeing at full speed.

For the first time in history, the Admirals of the Royal Navy, the navy of the Empire, became prisoners of the enemy.

Sagarus has said many times that the Easterners are terrible enemies and do not make the mistake of angering them again.

Sagaro, I have heeded your admonition, and we dare not be arrogant in Macau. But this time, it was this enemy who angered us.

In the midst of his thoughts, heavy footsteps sounded outside the cabin, and in front of him was Shagaru, his face as heavy as his steps. He took off his hat and bowed: "Your Excellency, the other party does not intend to leave Ambon. ”

The silent generals around them looked neatly at the governor, waiting for his final instructions. (To be continued.) )
