Chapter 1135: Glory
Even if Álvaro went out in person, he didn't get the governor of the Ming Dynasty after all. Forced by the situation, they had no choice but to give up their business in Manraka.
Álvaro said bitterly: "I will lead the fleet back to Goa tomorrow, and the merchant ships and merchants of the Ming Dynasty will be in Manraka, and the Governor can go to receive them." I will prepare three million taels of silver or goods as soon as possible to redeem our soldiers, and I hope that the Governor will keep his promise!" ”
Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but feel a little sorry when he heard this, Manraka has always been a subject of the Ming Dynasty, and it is excusable to occupy Manraka, but Goa has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, and there is no excuse to occupy Goa!
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhijie could only give up Goa for the time being, and it was better not to force Portugal too much, and wait for two years. Zhang Zhijie nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, this governor will keep his promise, as long as Marshal Alvaro's money or goods arrive, you can take it immediately!" ”
Álvaro struggled to maintain his demeanor, stood up and bowed, "Alright, I'll be as soon as possible, Lord Governor, and take my leave!" ”
Zhang Zhijie got up and instructed Magnolia: "What about the tea that the Governor asked you to prepare for Marshal Álvaro?" At this time, Magnolia took a delicate tea box from a waiter.
"Marshal Álvaro, it was a state affair just now, and I hope Marshal Álvaro will forgive me, putting aside state affairs, Marshal Alvaro and I hit it off at first sight, this is a little gift prepared by the Governor for the marshal, and Marshal Álvaro is invited to smile!" Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.
After hearing this, Álvaro couldn't help but think of the fragrance of tea just now, but now he is not in the mood to taste it, no matter how fragrant the tea is, it is only bitter for him.
Álvaro smiled reluctantly, "Thank you so much, Lord Governor." He motioned for Fernand to take the tea and walk out quickly, Zhang Zhijie smiled and sent out of the cabin, watching Álvaro board the merchant ship and leave quickly.
A box of dragon wells before the rain was exchanged for a full Raga, which is worth it! Zhang Zhijie smiled and ordered: "The whole army will go to the old port to station, rest for a day, and the next day the army will be full!" ”
"Your Excellency, Marshal, your tea!" Fernand said cautiously, facing the gloomy Álvaro, he couldn't be careless.
Álvaro took the tea and held it up in front of him, sighing: "A box of tea, full of raka, for the spice islands, this must be the most expensive tea in the world, and it is also the most bitter tea!" I should thank the governor of the Ming Dynasty for giving me tea, this box of tea represents shame, I will always carry this box of tea with me, remember the shame! ”
The Portuguese generals had been waiting on the docks, looking at the dark shadows on the sea, anxiously waiting for the final result, and to be honest, they were not very optimistic about the results of the marshal's personal departure.
After all, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty has approached Manraka, and it may be difficult for His Excellency the Marshal to convince the Governor of the Ming Dynasty, after all, Manraka represents huge interests, and words cannot be controlled.
But just as they watched the merchant ship of His Excellency the Marshal sail from afar towards the dock, they were surprised to find that the dark shadow on the distant sea was gradually fading away.
These generals couldn't help but look at each other, could it be that His Excellency the Marshal really forced the Ming fleet back with words? Awesome Marshal!
Álvaro's merchant ship docked at the dock, and Álvaro walked down with a delicate box in his hand. When these generals saw the face of His Excellency the Marshal, they muttered a little.
"Your Excellency Marshal, how is it going?" The generals inquired one after another.
Álvaro glanced at the surrounding generals, then took a deep look at Manraka, and sighed: "Prepare, before noon tomorrow, the whole army will evacuate Manraka and go to Goa!" ”
These generals were silent all of a sudden, the miracle did not happen after all, and the time to come was still coming. Although I was inexplicably relieved, I still felt that my heart was blocked, and the fleet that crisscrossed the seas was finally defeated by the fleet of the Ming Dynasty.
The Portuguese soldiers silently and busily began to carry supplies and goods, dismantle the guns on the batteries, and early the next morning, more than thirty warships set sail and left Manraka for Goa.
Zhang Zhijie rested overnight in the Old Port, and at noon the next day received a report from his men that the Portuguese had left Mangara.
Finally, as he expected, the soldiers forced the Portuguese to occupy Manraka without bloodshed. At that time, Zheng He's fleet once set up a consolation division in the old port, and the glory of that year has dissipated with the years.
Now that he has finally regained the glory of his ancestors, no, it is better than before, Zheng He just used this place as a transit station, but now he has turned this place into a part of the Ming Dynasty!
This is a milestone for both Zhang Zhijie and Daming, because it means that Daming is finally no longer resting on his laurels, but has set his sights on the vast ocean, and occupying the islands around Daming is just the beginning.
Zhang Zhijie said arrogantly: "The army set sail immediately, and the soldiers are full of soldiers!" "The warships were full of sails, and they left the old port one after another, and sailed mightily towards Manraka.
A huge fleet appeared in the sea area of Manraka, approaching the port, and many people had gathered in the port at this time, and the first one was the Ming who were seized by the Portuguese.
They were imprisoned by the Portuguese in a dark dungeon and were about to despair, but they were suddenly released, and just when they were at a loss, they suddenly learned that the sailors of the imperial court had defeated the Portuguese and expelled them from Mangara.
These Ming people couldn't help but burst into tears when they heard this, they were both excited and proud, just when they were about to despair, they didn't expect that the imperial court would break out a sea battle with the Portuguese for them and defeat the Portuguese!
They watched as the Portuguese fled Manraka in a hurry, and then they spontaneously gathered on the docks, waiting for the arrival of the imperial sailors.
Not only are they looking forward to it, but many Manraka people are also looking forward to it, because the Portuguese are synonymous with brutality in Manraka, compared to the Portuguese, the Ming Dynasty is the heavenly kingdom in the eyes of the Manraka people, and it is a state of etiquette. Therefore, they welcomed the Ming fleet that drove away the Portuguese.
The huge fleet appeared in people's eyes, and the people on the dock were excited, "It's the sailors of the imperial court, it's the sailors of the imperial court who are here!" "There are cries like this everywhere.
As the fleet approached the port, the people on the dock could already see the mighty ships and the hideous guns on them. The people on the dock knelt down excitedly.
