The Portuguese marshal's idea was wonderful, and just as Fernand was preparing to set off with a bitter heart, Zhang Zhijie had already led a huge fleet to the sea near Manraka.

But the Portuguese soldiers, who were immersed in a depressed mood, did not know anything about this, and Fernand boarded the ship with a cloud full of sorrow, and the merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty immediately set sail for Daming.

Fernand stood at the bow of the ship with the sea breeze blowing, but he was in a daze, he was thinking hard about how to negotiate after the Ming met the young governor.

He went to Ming this time with the expectations of the marshal and his colleagues, and also with their reluctance to Manraka, so Fernand was under great pressure. The biggest headache for him is that although the governor of the Ming Dynasty is young, he is very wise and calm, and he is not easy to fool at all.

His only confidence is that the Ming Dynasty has not yet discovered that Manraka is a cornucopia, and the Ming Governor is unwilling to lose his troops to conquer Manraka far overseas, and the Ming Governor is just opening his mouth in the lion. In this way, their concessions would satisfy the appetite of the Ming governor.

Fernand, who had been distracted, did not notice a dark shadow on the sea in the distance, but the sailors on board noticed it, and they could not help but scream.

The sailor's screams woke Fernand, who was still pondering, and Fernand suddenly raised his head to look at the sea in the distance, and saw the dark shadow on the surface of the sea at a glance.

It's just a dark shadow that looks inconspicuous, but it's on the distant sea, and that represents a huge fleet! How could there be a fleet in the waters of Manraka today?

Since they seized the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, there would be no merchant ships coming to Manraka at all, so how could there be a huge fleet on the sea now?

There is only one possibility, and that is the fleet of the Great Ming! The Governor of the Ming Dynasty was not bluffing, but was really actively preparing for war, and even before he went to the Ming Dynasty to negotiate, the Governor of the Ming Dynasty had already led the fleet to the fullest!

This is enough to see the mind of the governor of the Ming Dynasty, he must only be in Manraka! Not only does he want to be captled merchant ships, he not only demands reparations, he also wants to be full! None of the requests he made were missing, and he was not asking for a price at all, but really opened his mouth.

Since the governor of the Ming Dynasty has already led the fleet to approach the Manraka Sea, then he still has to talk about a ball? The concessions offered by the marshal were unlikely to be agreed to by the governor.

Fernand made a decision at once, shouting, "Return!" Back to Manraka, the Ming fleet is coming! ”

Needless to say, Fernand also knew that this was the arrival of the Ming fleet, and they didn't want to run into it, so they immediately got busy, and soon they turned around and returned to Manraka.

Since sending Fernand away, the Portuguese marshal and generals have hoped to wait for Fernand's good news, but the waiting process is very difficult after all. It's harder than the last time I waited, because the situation is even worse.

But they didn't wait too long, because Fernand's ship soon returned, and the Portuguese heard the news and led the generals to the dock in a hurry, just in time to see Fernand disembark.

"Fernand, what's going on? Why did you come back so soon? The Portuguese marshal asked urgently.

Fernand shouted: "Your Excellency Marshal, we have found a large fleet on the sea, which is already approaching the waters of Manraka, and I suspect that the fleet of the Ming Dynasty is attacking, so I will come back immediately to report the news!" ”

The surrounding soldiers were in an uproar when they heard this, but they didn't expect the Ming fleet to attack so resolutely, which made them panic a little.

This situation is undoubtedly the worst of the worst, and it means that the governor of the Ming Dynasty has an extremely strong determination to take Manraka and expel them from the East.

The last thing he wanted was to see the situation, and the Portuguese marshal felt a burst of dizziness and muttered: "I regret not listening to Alfonso, I am a sinner in the Kingdom of Portugal!" I have caused great losses on the kingdom's fleet, and the kingdom's interests in the East have been shaken, and I am a kingdom sinner! ”

Now is not the time to judge the crimes, this is the time to make a decision, whether to withdraw immediately or to continue negotiations, the marshal must have a charter. These generals and soldiers did not have the idea of resisting to the death.

The main reason is that it has been defeated once, and now there is a huge disparity in strength, and this place is too far away from the Kingdom of Portugal, but it is so close to the Ming Dynasty, if the Governor of the Ming Dynasty is determined to attack Manraka, they will not be able to resist it at all!

Even if it resisted this time, what about next time? Will you be able to resist it next time? Besides, they didn't think they would be able to resist this time. It was so far away from the Kingdom of Portugal that they didn't build many fort forts because there weren't many artillery pieces.

So there is no way to compare with the firepower of the Ming fleet, and they can't hold it at all, and they have no reinforcements! They only had forty warships outside, and even if those forty warships came to reinforce them, they would be of no avail, and they could only be buried in the east.

"Your Excellency, it's time to make up your mind!" The general next to him interrupted the marshal's self-reflection and reminded. Although they did not explain what they were determined to do, they understood it in each other's hearts, and they believed that His Excellency the Marshal also understood it in his heart.

The Portuguese marshal woke up from his vertigo and regained the majesty of the marshal, and if the Ming fleet insisted on attacking Manraka, then they really had no better choice but to give up Manraka.

But he didn't want to give up until the last moment, and the Portuguese marshal said in a deep voice: "Fernand, when you go to meet the Governor of Daming, you say that I want to see him in person." ”

Fernand replied in silence, turning to board the merchant ship again. The merchant ship sailed away from the dock and headed for the sea in the distance, where a vague black shadow had already appeared.

The Portuguese marshal and generals saw the dark shadow floating on the sea in the distance, and they couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in their hearts, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty had really come.

Fernand's merchant ship sailed towards the dark shadow on the sea in the distance, and his heart was very heavy. Even if the marshal goes out in person, can he impress the governor of the Ming Dynasty?

Manraka is already in sight, and the soldiers of the Daming Sailor Division are a little excited, they have been to Manraka and stationed in the old port, where they have left many footprints of their ancestors. Now they have come to Manraka again, driving out the Portuguese here, taking Manraka forever and restoring the glory of their ancestors.

What's more, this sea is very rich, rich in precious spices, and the archipelago here can be called the golden island, which will belong to the Ming Dynasty in the future.
