When Harroxi said this, Turia was even more curious, and he was unwilling to give up such a treasure as Macau. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, no matter whether it was the fleet of the Ming Empire that suddenly attacked Macao and seized his property, he didn't care, what he cared about was that he couldn't just lose Macau.

Because he knew that once he lost such a transit point as Macao, his Franc machine would lose enough income to cover the total trade volume of the South Seas.

But when Turia led his fleet, which had no logistical support, back to the sea not far from Macao, he was greeted by artillery fire.

At the beginning, in order to prevent the Ming forces from recapturing the city of Macau, Turia spared no expense to set up a large number of batteries in various key passes around the port, and its firepower could cover almost 360 degrees without dead ends.

However, because the South China Sea Fleet took advantage of the emptiness of his garrison in Macao to attack and recover Macao, the complete set of battery system set up by Turia in Macao did not play any purpose, but now it has been used by the soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet.

Turia didn't expect his fleet to be hit so quickly, he couldn't help but be very angry, and wanted to launch a counterattack immediately, but found that there were already two groups of ships on the left and right flanks, and the various gun ports had been opened, and the attack posture was set up, and it was just upwind.

Naturally, Turia would not suffer this loss, so he hurriedly ordered his fleet to retreat.

Fortunately, the fleet of the South China Sea Fleet did not catch up, because Zhu Youxiao's instruction to Gu San Mazi was to temporarily stop the pace of external expansion when recovering Macao, and in principle to avoid another large-scale conflict with any maritime power, and to seize the strength of the South China Sea Fleet before the imperial court and the Zheng clique tore their faces, and strengthen the coastal defense and control of the South China Sea area.

Therefore, Gu San Mazi did not continue to pursue this Turia, not to mention that he also knew that this Turia's fleet was not as light as Zheng Zhibao, and his own strength was still there, and he would only suffer serious losses if he attacked rashly.

Moreover, his South China Sea Fleet has just experienced two battles, although it did not take much effort to sneak attack Macao, but it still took a lot of energy to fight with Zheng Zhibao's fleet, after all, at that time, the South China Sea Fleet was stronger than Zheng Zhibao's fleet, so the South China Sea Fleet swallowed Zheng Zhibao's fleet The loss and cost is not small, once it clashes with Turia's Franco fleet, it may be really difficult to complete the next task that Zhu Youxiao wants them to control the entire South China Sea and then radiate the South Sea.

Gu San Mazi was bold but also unwilling to fight an uncertain battle, and after driving away Turia's fleet, he ordered someone to immediately inform the governor of Liangguang, Shang Zhou Zuo, in order to prepare for the restoration of the Ming administration of Macao.

However, although Turia had to accept the fact that his Franc machine had lost control of Macau, he was still unwilling to stop there, at least his 100,000 catties of opium soil he really wanted to come back, which he spent half a year of profit to buy, and it was also an important prerequisite for him to complete the task assigned by the queen in the second half of the year.

And now Turia is basically sure that it is the fleet of the Ming Empire that occupies Macau, and it is also the South China Sea Fleet that Zheng Zhilong said.

At the same time, he also learned that the South China Sea Fleet had just annihilated Zheng Zhibao's fleet shortly before the capture of Macao, and that the chief officer of this fleet turned out to be Gu Sanmazi, who had also defeated Zheng pirates in the Ryukyu area.

As a result, Turia also dispelled the idea of immediately retaking Macao by force, and chose to settle the problem of the 100,000 catties of opium that he still had in Macao through negotiations.

However, Gu San Mazi directly rejected Turia's attempt to return 100,000 catties of opium, because Zhu Youxiao had already stated that when it comes to overseas trading, once there are foreign smugglers or illegal traders, the government's treatment of these foreign countries will be judged by the category of goods.

Among them, the most severe punishment is imposed on the opium trade, which is not only to be recovered but also directly destroyed, and even to the officials of the criminal authorities and the sellers.

Therefore, when the Turian faction arrived near Macao and tried to get back the opium they had bought, they found that a group of migrant workers were being transferred under the command of a group of officers into one pool after another, and they kept pouring lime into them, causing thick smoke to billow.

"They're going to destroy my tobacco!"

Turia couldn't help but be very angry, he wanted to stop them, but when he saw the dense forts and the warships that would come out of the harbor from time to time, he could only watch most of his hard work go to waste.

Turia didn't know that according to the original historical trajectory, in a few hundred years, such a scene would appear in Humen, but at this moment, although the South China Sea Fleet was carrying out the gunpowder order, Turia and these Francophone people did not dare to compare with the English of later generations, and could only choose to retreat.

……

Turia's initiative to leave made the situation of the siege of the city of Guangzhou suddenly resolved, and Shang Zhouzuo, who tried to fight against the water, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, as the governor of Liangguang was in charge of the military affairs of Liangguang, if any of the cities fell into the hands of the enemy, then he could only be charged with dereliction of duty to live in prison.

But now that the crisis in Guangzhou has been resolved, Shang Zhouzuo can concentrate on Macau wholeheartedly.

However, Shang Zhouzuo did not know what caused the enemy troops who had been besieging the city of Guangzhou for a long time to suddenly withdraw, but he did not have time to understand the situation in detail now, so he could only guess that it might be because of the South China Sea Fleet.

"Lord Zhitai, this is an official letter from Chief Officer Gu of the South China Sea Fleet, who said that he has taken back the right of residence in Macao in a surprising manner, and all the Westerners in Macao have been slaughtered, and now we are waiting for us to send someone to manage this empty city.

Shang Zhouzuo couldn't help but stand up when he heard this, slapped the table and said: "It's really good, a good Gu chief military officer, as early as in the Daming Daily, I saw a compiler named Zhang Dai praised him, I also said at the time that he was just a pirate-born martial artist, I didn't pay much attention, but I didn't expect this person to be so powerful, solve the big problem of the official, and immediately report back to you General Gu military officer, that is, the official will come immediately, but now the top priority is to immediately send an urgent express report to the cabinet, and report to the imperial court for approval to make Macao independent." , and a single independent county or state capital. ”

Shang Zhouzuo said that after finishing speaking, he went to the study to write an urgent recital, and immediately left for Macao.

According to Zhu Youxiao's arrangement, Macao's military and administrative affairs must be controlled by the Ming Dynasty, but Macao does not diswelcome foreign countries to come here to do business, and even encourage more foreign countries to come, so Shang Zhouzuo had to be anxious to re-establish the order of Macao, and to encourage foreign countries to do business in Macao, so that the two provinces can have more income.

Shang Zhouzuo, who was the governor of Liangguang, had no choice but to do so.
