"Your Excellency the Governor......"

"Raise the white flag and stop resisting!" Manodi knew that his mission as governor had been accomplished, and at this moment, he was much more relaxed, maybe he would be reprimanded by the Ming army, maybe he would be punished when he returned to Portugal, because he had lost the most important Portuguese trading position in the East, but he had saved all the soldiers.

When there is no money to earn, and if a soldier is killed or wounded, he will never be able to get it back.

Zheng Xing saw the white flag raised in the city, he knew that the battle of Malacca was over, and he would enter Malacca City as a victor.

The Ming army has not yet broken the city, the Portuguese surrendered, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had almost no casualties, Zheng Zhilong really did everything like a god, and Zheng Xing admired this uncle, who was also the commander of the Ming South China Sea Fleet.

Zheng Zhilong came to the east city gate, and groups of Portuguese soldiers had already begun to leave the city, and they put down their weapons at the city gate to accept the supervision of the Ming army.

There was no surrender ceremony, thousands of Portuguese soldiers, not in Zheng Zhilong's eyes at all, when he was a pirate, there were more than thousands of brothers under his command.

After the Ming army disarmed the Portuguese soldiers, they were escorted back to the city and resettled separately, and a large number of Ming troops began to enter the city.

Without much flowers and applause, the Portuguese soldiers who were supposed to welcome them were now imprisoned in their barracks, and only a small number of brave Han Chinese welcomed them in the inner side of the city gates.

Zheng Zhilong summoned Manodi at the Governor's Palace, a Western-style building that is now his camp.

"Your Excellency the Governor is frightened!" Zheng Zhilong waved his hand and asked his soldiers to loosen the ties of Ma Nuodi, he has been mixed in the South Seas, Japan, Portugal, Spain, and the Dutch caravans and navies since he was fifteen years old, he is very familiar with them, and today he appeared in front of Ma Nuodi in the posture of a victor, he is very gentlemanly, and tomorrow, everyone will still be friends.

"You are Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Ming Dynasty's navy?" Manodi raised his head, and his azure pupils, like the harbor of the sea, looked quite calm.

"Wrong, Your Excellency Ma Nuodi, I am not the commander of the Ming Navy, but the commander of the South China Sea Fleet of the Ming Navy." Zheng Zhilong felt the need to put his official title on the flag of the South China Sea Fleet, so that this + ↖dǐng + ↖diǎn + ↖ small + ↖ said, .∨.±os_ (); Some of the so-called Xiyi naval officers saw it clearly, and they didn't know if they had interrogations like Daming, and if they did, what were they doing with interrogations.

"Does it make a difference?" Ma Nuodi didn't like the word games played by Orientals, and thought that Zheng Zhilong was giving Oriental-style ridicule.

"The difference is big, in addition to the South China Sea Fleet, Daming also has a North Sea Fleet, and I am only the commander of the South China Sea Fleet." Zheng Zhilong felt that it was necessary to correct it, if he let Commander Wei Xin of the North Sea Fleet know, and still thought that he was above the North Sea Fleet, would this Ma Nuodi deliberately create contradictions?

Ma Nuodi tilted his head, avoiding Zheng Zhilong's gaze, he was silent, the South China Sea Fleet had already made him daunting, even if all the local navy was transferred to the East, he might not be able to defeat this behemoth, not to mention that Daming also had a North Sea Fleet, Daming was too big, and in front of such an opponent, it was not a shame to fail.

Spain has been completely defeated by the Ming Dynasty first, and now it is Portugal's turn, Manodi believes that soon after, it will be the Netherlands, the last time the three navies combined failed to defeat the South China Sea Fleet, let alone a single Netherlands, this Ming, what is it going to do?

Fighting against Da Ming, he chose the wrong opponent, but this time, it seemed that Da Ming took the initiative to attack, and he had no choice, "Commander Zheng, when are you going to release my soldiers and business personnel?" ”

"If His Excellency the Governor had cooperated with the Ming Dynasty, I would naturally have released all the Portuguese." Zheng Zhilong showed his big white teeth, and in front of Ma Nuodi, he looked quite amiable, without the slightest arrogance of a victor.

"How does Commander Zheng need us to cooperate?" Ma Nuodi is uneasy, the war has failed, he can accept it, Daming is indeed too powerful, but the responsibility for the war is what he is most worried about, whether it is for Daming or for the country, he must give an explanation, but now, he is Zheng Zhilong's subordinate prisoner, and he can't even guarantee his life, cooperating with Daming, of course, is the best choice and the only choice.

"It's very simple, as long as Your Excellency the Governor follows my three conditions, we will still be friends." Zheng Zhilong already had a manuscript, and he did not hesitate.

"What are the three conditions?" Although he was very reluctant, he listened carefully to every word that Zheng Zhilong said, which was related to the lives of his soldiers.

"First, sign a surrender document to immediately and gratuitously hand over the city of Malacca, the Malacca waterway, and the land on both sides of the river to the Ming Dynasty, and recognize the Ming Dynasty's ownership of these lands and the Malacca waterway."

The Portuguese army was basically concentrated in the city of Malacca, except for the soldiers who died in the battle, all of them had become prisoners of war of the Ming army, although there were still a small number of soldiers nearby, scattered in various castles, but in front of the South China Sea Fleet, they were just defending the city for the Ming army.

Manodi is well aware of the current situation and situation.

The Malacca waterway is a golden waterway, is the only waterway to hold the trade between the East and the West, only the strong live, Portugal is relying on military superiority, snatched from the hands of Manchu Thorn, after the rise of the Netherlands, it has long been red-eyed, two attacks on Malacca failed, if it is not for the Ming Dynasty, they will come again sooner or later.

Relying on military superiority, it is reasonable for the Ming to want to control the Malacca waterway, "I can make all my soldiers surrender, and I can also assist the Ming to control the Malacca waterway, but we need the right of trade, and I hope that the Ming will allow our merchant ships to pass the Malacca waterway." ”

"I promise that Portuguese merchant ships can pass through the Guò Malacca waterway, as long as they obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty." Zheng Zhilong originally thought that it would take a lot of words, he was ready for the materials, Malacca City and its vicinity, there are Sanbao Mountain, Sanbaojing, and Sanbao Pavilion, which is the basis for the Ming Dynasty to come to Malacca City first, Zheng Sanbao is Zheng He's name before he became a eunuch.

Of course, Manodi understands that obeying the laws of the Ming Dynasty naturally requires passing ships to pay for the road, but it is much better than having the trade route completely cut off, "What other conditions does Commander Zheng have?" ”

"The second condition is much easier," Zheng Zhilong recalled that when he was a pirate, he was often chased and hid by Xiyi's armed ships, and his pirate spirit was aroused again, "All Portuguese weapons and ships here must be handed over to the Ming Dynasty, and all the property, documents, etc., according to the diǎn, must also be handed over to the Ming Dynasty as compensation for the war." ”

"The property can be handed over to you, but the documents are not strategic materials, so there is no need for Daming to keep them for himself, right?" Ma Nuodi knew that according to Diǎn's property, it had long been the fat in Zheng Zhilong's mouth, and he was afraid that he would not be able to give it to him, "As for the ships, these are mainly merchant ships, if they are handed over to you, then how will my soldiers and merchants return to China in the future?" ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, the documents are also our spoils of war, if our peace talks are not successful, all the prisoners of war will be killed by us, I wonder who these documents will belong to in the future?" Zheng Zhilong was still smiling, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with himself or Ma Nuodi, "As for the ship, the reason is the same, if there are no more prisoners of war, what do you need the ship for?" ”

"You ......" Ma Nuodi felt the threat of Zheng Zhilong's nakedness, but he was under the roof and had to bow his head, who knows if Zheng Zhilong, who was born as a pirate, would really kill the prisoners of war? Well, I agree to the condition. ”

"This third condition is even easier, it is almost a gift to His Excellency the Governor," Zheng Zhilong showed his big white teeth again, thinking that he looked very kind, "Persuade the Portuguese soldiers in Macao to evacuate, and there is a Ming local government to take over Macau-Ao, this Macau, you call it Jing Macao, right?" ”

"Commander Zheng, as far as I know, Jingao was originally a wasteland, which was rented by Portuguese merchants for five hundred taels of silver, and it was their hard work that made Jingao prosperous today."

"Mr. Governor, it is true that Macao was originally a wasteland, and it is also true that Portuguese merchants paid five hundred taels of silver in rent, but this is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and over the years, the Portuguese have not made less money, right? How much does their annual income cost more than 10,000 taels? ”

"How much money they earned, that's their business, it's a matter agreed between the two parties, is it clear that they are red-eyed?" Ma Nuodi threw Zheng Zhilong a provocative look, that means, doesn't the great power of the Celestial Empire have integrity?

Zheng Zhilong was in a good mood today, and he also had time to discuss with Ma Nuo, "Your Excellency the Governor knows that according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the magistrate has no right to dispose of the matter of land management rights, and it must be approved by the Ming court, in other words, the previous agreement is not in line with the laws of the Ming Dynasty at all, and we can withdraw it at any time." ”

Ma Nuodi still refused to cooperate, "Commander Zheng, I am only the Governor of Malacca, and I can't do anything about the matter of Jingao." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, the South China Sea Fleet can recover Taiwan, recover Luzon, and recover Malacca, can a small Macao still be able to block the South China Sea Fleet?" Zheng Zhilong stretched out a finger, "In one day at most, I can take Macau." ”

"You ......" In the face of the strength of the South China Sea Fleet, Ma Nuodi really has no good way, "Since Commander Zheng can capture Jingao, why let me persuade him?" ”

Zheng Zhilong laughed, "Your Excellency the Governor, so I said that I want to give Your Excellency a merit - Your Excellency will return to China and give an account to the government of your country." ”

“……”

"If the South China Sea Fleet captures Macao, then the two sides will inevitably hurt the peace, and the Portuguese will not want to come to Macao again in the future, we would rather lease to other countries, the Netherlands, Spain, and the British Empire in the future......"

“……”

"On the contrary, if Macao is resolved in a peaceful way, the Ming Dynasty and Portugal will still be friendly countries, and in the future, Portuguese merchants will still be able to do business in Macao, just like before, as long as they abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, all we want is the sovereignty and management of Macao."
