Before the Australians came out, the Dutch were definitely one of the best forces in the Far East, and even Zheng Zhilong might not be able to get much benefit from them, so the Australians got benefits from them, which gave the Spaniards hope, and at the same time made another Portuguese who was struggling to survive in this area see a lifesaver.

It must not be miserable to follow the big brother of Australia, at least the Australians will not attack their own territory for no reason, and they prefer Hong Kong, which they have built, and they don't seem to have much interest in Macau.

Since you have decided to become the younger brother of Big Brother Australia, you need to cast a vote, after all, this is the only way to gain trust.

The Portuguese are actually very covetous of Japan's trade, but because of their own strength is not enough, so they can only open their eyes and can't do it, this time is different, they have become the little brother of the Australians, the Australians promised them, help them transform their firepower, in fact, they sold Australian artillery to them, and installed it.

With artillery, they were not afraid, and at this time they even dared to sail two sail warships directly to the ports of Japan to ask them to switch trade.

For their bold idea, the Australian side was very surprised, did the Portuguese eat stimulants, even if they bought some artillery, they may not be able to win the Zheng family, saying that although Japan is locked down, it does not mean that people do not have warships.

Japan also has its own sailors, and what did you mean by your two warships in the past, didn't you take others seriously, don't be beaten all over the ground and look for teeth when the time comes.

Australia is not optimistic about their actions, but the Portuguese say that they must let Japan open up trade, and they will be the first mover, and let the big brother wait behind and enjoy its achievements.

In fact, at this time, the Australian side has already negotiated with the Zheng family about its interests in Australia, but the Australian side has no objection to Portugal's approach, after all, the Zheng family's bottom line can be tested through them, which can help for further expansion.

Therefore, the actions of the Portuguese people can be said to be Australia's acquiescence, after all, Japan's trade market is very large, as a market with the same large amount of consumption power, Australia cannot watch it only be controlled by the Zheng family, even if the two sides have a common alliance, but they do not want them to control.

The Portuguese did this partly to curry favor with Australia, but also to get a piece of the pie for themselves, after all, they have coveted it for a long time.

But for the Zheng family, they absolutely do not want other forces to intervene, and the intervention of other forces means that their market will be divided.

The profits of exclusive monopoly trading are very amazing, and it is precisely by relying on such a monopoly that he was able to rise in the East China Sea, and was finally recruited by the Ming court.

However, if the Zheng family wants to continue to monopolize the market and trade here, it is basically impossible, and the Australians have risen strongly, and sooner or later they will open the door to Japan and ask them to switch on and off trade.

In the office of the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, Zhou Yang looked at Yang Yuzhou with a smug face, I said that the Portuguese will hand over the nomination, you still don't believe it, how about this time, they just hope to get closer to us in this way.

After all, the Portuguese was the last member to join the Far Eastern Military Alliance, and he was not as wealthy as the former, but he was a good dealer, and the feelings between the two sides were not too deep, and if he wanted to strengthen it, he had to rely on some affairs to carry it out.

Of course, the main purpose is that they hope to improve their relationship with Australia through this, after all, they have no other choice if they want to have a better and more reliable relationship with Australia.

Once the Japanese country was opened and forced to agree to trade, it not only opened up a market for Australian goods to enter here, but also found a way for themselves to make money.

You're right, they're really handing them out, but I don't know if they're going to win.

Yang Yuzhou's evaluation of Zhou Yang is still quite agreeable, of course, the main reason is that they have seen the actual actions of Portugal, this guy has already taken actual action, and they relied on the artillery provided by Australia to begin to prepare to attack Japan.

Relying on two ships to attack Japan, whether it can win, this is really uncertain, although Japan has a navy, but the ships of the navy division are generally small, about the same size as fishing boats, compared to the Portuguese big ships that are much smaller.

At one point, the shogunate was not stable at the moment, and they were afraid that foreign forces would intervene at this time, which would have a greater impact on them.

It is impossible for the Zheng family not to know about the Portuguese moves, but at this time they have not yet returned from the time they sent to Australia for negotiations, and the Portuguese are the younger brother of the Australians, they want to open the door of Japan, they really can't stop it, maybe the Australians also have such thoughts.

After all, those ten warships were docked at the dock, and they could go north directly to fight in Japan at any time, and there was another possibility that they would go north to fight against themselves.

In the face of the Australian fleet, Zheng Zhilong was not confident that he could win them, not to mention that Spain and the Netherlands were on the side of Australia, so they had even less confidence.

After all, in the face of powerful Australia, Zheng Zhilong suffered a loss at their hands, and if he was defeated at this time, it would definitely have an impact on his position in the East China Sea, and other maritime merchants might also take the opportunity to express their intention to take refuge in Australia, one of which was that he was more worried about the current situation.

In addition to judging the situation at sea, he also needs to judge the situation in Daming, after all, now Daming is getting more and more chaotic, and it is absolutely impossible for him to have no idea at all.

A character like him with an ambitious heart must want to compete for the world, and it is obviously impossible to put all his energy on the sea.

Now that the Zheng family has controlled Fujian, it is not impossible to use it as a base to expand outside, so it is very necessary to maintain a certain strength and make follow-up preparations.

Therefore, they can only selectively acquiesce to the Portuguese approach, and do not take any real action. This is the maximum concession to Australia, he just hopes that this will make the Australians see that he does not want to go to war, after all, the Australian fleet here may go to war with them at any time, this is absolute.

It is possible that there will be no war until they are gone, and of course the Australian fleet will certainly not go for a while, at least until the Portuguese are done. (To be continued.) )
