The first group were black-haired pirates, greedy and brutal, who had little interest in the governor's castle but only in its possessions, and who, without tactics or reason, bypassed the fort's defenses, stormed the city, looted everything in sight, and killed those who resisted. Due to the large number of people, the hundreds of Portuguese defenders did not dare to step out of the castle.

The pirates sacked for two days and two nights before they were fully loaded, leaving behind a sea of fire and an unknown number of corpses.

There was no time to collect the body, and the Acehnese came. The Portuguese did not have enough warships to go to sea for emergencies, so they had to continue to defend the castle, and the Acehnese also came to the castle, attacking for two days and two nights, and when they saw that they were about to conquer, the Malays came.

So the Acehnese and the Malays fought, but not desperately, but indiscriminately, and finally both sides got tired and left.

The city should be regarded as defended, but it is difficult to find a complete wall skin except for the castle.

According to statistics, tens of thousands of people died in the catastrophe, including hundreds of Portuguese citizens, as well as more than a dozen clergy. After the triple sack, the situation in Malacca was even worse than it was when the Portuguese first arrived, and decades of hard work were ruined and once reverted to the last century.

As the viceroy of India, Debraganza was not sure whether Yang Changfan had a direct connection to the incident. But he was sure that he was a complete dereliction of duty.

On the way back, hundreds of Portuguese naval officers were killed because they did not receive timely medical treatment.

Now with all the manpower and military strength, there are still 26 warships and 1,800 soldiers alive, plus the ruined city of Malacca.

In addition to being depressed, lost, and depressed, Debraganza suffers from a headache that he gets whenever he looks east. The people here are so stubborn, the Malays and Acehnese are so weak and stupid, but they are never tired, their corpses dead under the guns of Portugal are enough to fill several islands, but they still attack in waves, as if it had become a habit.

They should learn from the Indians, accustomed to their own weakness and subservience to their powerful masters, and now it is almost impossible to form a passable fleet in the Indian Ocean, but the Indians are still so honest, and the Mughal kingdom is still fond of land wars with the northern kingdoms.

Debraganza wanted to go back to the place he knew.

In the face of the cruel reality, shame has become a slim thing.

He needs to deal with his wounds, Portugal needs time to heal.

Debraganza was reluctant to look any further west, unwilling to stay in this sea.

In the castle of Malacca, he stayed only two days and issued a letter from the governor apologizing to all Portuguese citizens in Southeast Asia and promising to recapture what belonged to Portugal, but he needed time.

After that, he left Malacca with half of his ships and sailed back to the Indian Ocean, heading to Goa on the west coast of India.

Before leaving, he handed over all negotiating powers to the Governor of Malacca, who was in charge of political and military negotiations, and Sagaro, who was in charge of commercial trade.

In Debraganza's mandate, the minimum bottom line is ridiculously low, and it is enough to leave Malacca and a base in Southeast Asia.

After several rounds of coordination, the negotiations between the two sides were finally scheduled to start in the central region of Makassar, and the negotiations of the Huiwang Mansion were entrusted to Xu Wenchang and Ma Laojiu. Yang Changfan personally supervised the re-establishment of order in the Moluccas, constantly wandering between several completely disunited kingdoms, ensuring the fortresses and power of the Hui Palace, and the Chinese replaced the Portuguese as the administrators of order in the Spice Islands. Yang Changfan's policy was much more relaxed than that of the Portuguese, most obviously in his faith, which respected the local ****** and did not exclude priests in black robes, which allowed the locals to finally worship freely without being beaten, and a large part of the long-settled Portuguese did not respond to the call of the governor and chose to continue to live in this familiar land.

It is true that the Huiwangfu also monopolized the spice trade, but they did not monopolize the production of spices, everything was carried out freely by the locals, they only needed to trade to the Chinese merchants, and the Portuguese processing workshops were still owned by the Portuguese, of course, the Chinese could also participate in the organization of spice production, and would undoubtedly receive greater support.

Even though the locals largely supported the liberation of the Huiwang Mansion, Yang Changfan still did not dare to withdraw his troops easily, the local political situation was very chaotic and uncivilized, and before the Portuguese, there were constant wars between the islands and the kingdoms, and Yang Changfan wanted to use force, the name of the Ming Dynasty and the reputation of Zheng He to suppress this place before leaving.

On the other hand, after two months of negotiations, representatives of both sides finally signed the Treaty of Makassar.

The Huiwang Mansion released all the Portuguese prisoners, and Portugal officially withdrew from Manila and the area east of Makassar, with Manila and Makassar as the boundary, and did not invade each other for two years.

Every quarter, the Hui Dynasty would ensure that sufficient quantities of spices would be sent to Makassar to trade with Portugal, and Portugal would also ensure that enough European goods would be sent in exchange.

In fact, the matter of demarcation was tacitly agreed by both sides, and it was determined on the first day, and it was the trade details that delayed the time, and Ma Laojiu and Shajialu argued and calculated for a long time.

After receiving this contract, the management of the Moluccasa also stabilized. Tang Sanhai was promoted to the governor of Nanyang and sat in Ambon, leaving 20 warships and 1,500 elite soldiers to protect the shipping routes and ports.

Back to Dongfan, it is already a more prosperous scene. In the past few months, a larger number of people, wealthy businessmen and even ships with official backgrounds went to sea to sell goods, the first stop was to find the Huiwang Mansion to obtain a certificate, and the last stop was to come to Dongfan to take a commission, no matter what the purchase price was, according to the market price of the Ming Dynasty, only pay silver.

On the other hand, Yang Changfan's expedition to Nanyang Shengfulong was not only famous, but even the self-made artillery of Huiwangfu also began to sell well, and in addition, the Fulong machine was out of stock, and the Japanese daimyo also began to purchase arms directly from Huiwangfu. Under the leadership of Hu Zongxian, the scale of the ordnance workshop has been expanded several times, and now the trouble is not that there are not enough manpower and space, but that the raw materials iron and copper are not enough.

In order to solve such a dilemma, the Hui Wangfu adopted a new policy, the commission system and the iron system coexisted, you can use Fujian iron instead of the commission, it is more cost-effective, although this kind of metal is the imperial court control resources, but who does business in the government has no background? Even if Fujian Governor Ruan Que is a hard bone, he can't suppress the atmosphere of the court. All of a sudden, a large amount of Fujian iron poured in, and the iron supply of the Ministry of Industry was cut off, and Dongfan was still in a steady stream.

The benefits of conquest of Nanyang finally began to appear, and almost only by doing Zhendongfan, silver could be put into storage one by one, and then silver could be exchanged for all kinds of materials needed. The east is prosperous, the fleet expands the scale, Yang Changfan sits firmly in the east, under the high salary, there are more and more people from all over the world, and even some days are not going well in the county, lifting people, and the small officials of the guard, hundreds of households are also vying to vote, the name of people, property and property is available, the Huiwang Mansion is under the helm of Yang Changfan, the South China Sea is a golden route, and it has officially entered the golden age.
