The reason why this Portuguese came to Daming was that he was ordered by the marshal of the Portuguese fleet to meet the governor of Daming, that is, Zhang Zhijie. Or rather, an ultimatum. Because the Kingdom of Portugal had vast colonies to maintain, it was impossible for a large fleet to be stationed in Mangara all the time.

Zhang Zhijie received the envoy from the Portuguese fleet at Laiyuanyi, and although he bowed to Zhang Zhijie when he entered the door, his face was full of arrogance.

"Hello, honorable Governor of the Ming Dynasty, I am the emissary of the Marshal of the Great Portuguese Fleet, Fernand!" Fernand said with an arrogant face.

Zhang Zhijie said quietly: "Fernan, hello, this governor is about to settle accounts with you Portuguese, why do you want to seize the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty?" You must give an account to the Doge! ”

"So, Lord Doge, why are you seizing the ships of our Kingdom of Portugal?" Fernand asked rhetorically.

"This Governor is not seizing the warships of your Kingdom of Portugal, but your Portuguese warships have invaded the Ming Dynasty, and this is the spoils of this Governor's war! Could it be that the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty also invaded Manchuria? Zhang Zhijie asked lightly.

"Our Portuguese warships are here for a friendly visit to the Ming Dynasty, not to invade the Ming Dynasty, but the Governor has seized the warships representing the peaceful Kingdom of Portugal for no reason." Fernand said in a deep voice.

Zhang Zhijie sneered: "Peace? Portuguese warships slaughtered my Ming people, where is the peace? ”

Fernand frowned and said, "Your Excellency the Doge also slaughtered our Portuguese soldiers, and also demanded reparations from Raphael, which is a provocation to the Kingdom of Portugal. ”

Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "You, including the marshal of your Portuguese fleet, don't know the specific situation, since the governor of Alaso is willing to accept compensation and admit that the warship is the spoils of the Ming Dynasty, this matter has been closed!" ”

"On the contrary, you Portuguese seized Daming's merchant ships for no reason, this is a serious provocation to Daming!"

Fernand shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, Alfonso is no longer the Governor of Goa, and even if he is the Governor of Goa, he has no authority to dispose of the warships of the kingdom!" I have come to meet with the Governor today to convey the meaning of the Marshal of the fleet of the Kingdom of Portugal! ”

"Da Ming must return the warships of our Kingdom of Portugal and compensate two million taels of silver, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to the Kingdom of Portugal, the Armada of our Kingdom of Portugal is never afraid of any challenge!"

Zhang Zhijie's face was slightly angry when he heard this, and he really opened his mouth, not only to ask for the warship, but also to ask for compensation of two million taels of silver, which is really unreasonable!

Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "Our Ming sailor fleet is like crisscrossing the sea, not afraid of any challenge, if you Portugal refuse to release the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty." The Doge himself will lead a fleet and drive the Portuguese away from the East! ”

Fernand bowed and said, "Since the Governor has made up his mind, then the invincible armada of my Kingdom of Portugal will definitely plunder all the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty until the loss of our Kingdom of Portugal is recovered!" Leave! ”

Fernand left Quanzhou, Zhang Zhijie was excited by Fernand's arrogance, and was secretly angry in his heart, this naval battle was unavoidable, so Zhang Zhijie prepared more seriously, and was bound to fight beautifully and completely drive Portugal away from the eastern seas.

Not only was Zhang Zhijie angered by the arrogant Portuguese, but all the sailor generals were also secretly holding their breath, it was really unreasonable for the defeated generals of the previous subordinates to be so arrogant.

Fernand's visit this time not only did not frighten Zhang Zhijie and the soldiers of the sailor, but also inspired their fighting spirit even more. Zhang Zhijie threw away everything and devoted himself to preparing for the war.

Just when Zhang Zhijie went to the dock to inspect the warship, he met the Spaniards who were working on the dock! These Spaniards finally experienced what it was like to be a captive, as the governor of the Ming Dynasty said, they would not kill them and take care of their food and shelter, but the realization of these two months was that it was better to kill them as soon as possible.

Those Portuguese can't stand it, these Spaniards can't stand it either! But what can they do? If they don't do it, they will starve and be whipped, and they will have nowhere to talk if they want to reason!

That Ming Governor is not here, and no one cares what they say, as long as they are a little lazy, it will be a smoke! It's a good day!

But fortunately, now the governor of the Ming Dynasty has finally come to Quanzhou, and they saw a blonde man come to the dock. The man was menacing, speaking not Spanish but Portuguese, so the Spanish commander Magellan had a guess that the Portuguese and Daming clashed.

Seeing that the Ming warships were nervously preparing supplies, Magellan immediately understood that the Kingdom of Portugal not only had a conflict with the Ming Dynasty, but also a sea battle was about to break out!

In fact, this did not surprise Magellan, because he had already seen eight or nine Portuguese warships moored in the harbor, and it was obvious that these were Portuguese warships captured by the Ming Dynasty.

The fleet of the Kingdom of Portugal is also a huge fleet that crisscrosses the seas, how can it be counted like this after suffering such a big loss. So Magellan expected a huge naval battle between Portugal and the Ming Dynasty.

And Magellan saw an opportunity in it, of course, he didn't think that the Ming fleet would definitely be defeated, and they would be rescued by the Portuguese! Not to mention that the Ming fleet is also very strong, even if the Ming fleet is defeated, the Portuguese will not be able to attack the port of Quanzhou.

Quanzhou Port is built with dense forts. Moreover, Magellan stayed at the dock in Quanzhou for two months, and he also saw that the fleet of the Ming Dynasty was very strong, and it was not inferior to the fleet of the Kingdom of Portugal and the fleet of the Kingdom of Spain.

So a naval battle broke out between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to say who will win and who will lose, Magellan saw the opportunity to participate in this naval battle! His idea is very good, if the Ming fleet wins, then they will also be considered to have made a meritorious contribution in this battle, so that they have a good chance of getting out!

If the Ming fleet was defeated, then even if they were captured by the Portuguese, then they would be able to get out easily! There will naturally be casualties in battle, and if they die in naval battles, then they feel that it is much better than working the docks until they die!

So this is definitely a sure-fire deal, so when he saw the Governor of Daming coming to the dock, Magellan was immediately excited, and he threw down the heavy sack on his shoulders and ran over.

The Jinyi guard who followed Zhang Zhijie was startled when he saw this, thinking that this foreigner was planning to be unfavorable to the Admiral, and he went up directly and kicked him away!

There are many, many readers who question the "wife", the following is from the encyclopedia: Emperor Han Ai respected his grandmother as the empress dowager Fu Shi of the Empress Dowager Taogong, and later respected the empress dowager.

Liang Shaoren said, "This woman is called Mrs. at the beginning." See "Two Autumn Rain Essays: Mrs. In the Ming Dynasty, the wives of officials above the rank of Cheng were called wives. See Ming Hu Yinglin's "A and B Leftover Words: Side Road Poems". The wife of the later bureaucratic doctor is commonly known as the wife.

The Ming Shi Kefa family book, called his mother and other eldest daughters called his wife and a certain wife. See Shi Zhongzheng's Collected Works, vol. 3

Because readers are questioning, it has been forced to change later, but there is nothing wrong with this title.
