Shen Zhou very decisively moved all the Portuguese in Goa to work on the plantations outside the city, and appointed the slaves who used to work on the plantations as overseers, which made the identities of slaves and overseers reversed, and as a result, those slaves who turned over did not just sing, but returned to each other a thousand times the humiliation they had suffered before.

Of course, although Shen Zhou sent those Portuguese to the plantation as slaves, he still has a good conscience, and he is also a civilized person, such as those women, children and old people among the Portuguese, although they are also on the plantation, they do not participate in the work, and they will not let those slaves who turn over wantonly oppress, after all, the Ming may still need these Portuguese talents in the future, so naturally they can't do things desperately.

With Shen Zhou turning Goa into an empty city, this also makes the whole of Goa no longer have any threat except for the governor's palace in the center, and he has sent a warship to Malacca to report the victory, it is estimated that he will receive a reply soon, and when the real garrison arrives, his task will be completed, and this great achievement will naturally fall on his head, and no one will say in the future that he is sitting in his current position by relying on his own Lao Tzu.

The city of Goa outside has been stabilized by the gods with the simplest and most effective means, but the governor's palace that has been besieged is bleak, and everyone in the governor's palace can see the situation outside very clearly, especially some people who only care about themselves and come in, but leave their family and friends outside, and when they hear that their family and friends are being dragged to the plantation as slaves, these people cry one by one.

But soon those people stopped crying, because they hadn't eaten anything during this time, and the strength in their bodies had been exhausted, and what usually seemed to be a simple action was already a little difficult for these people, not to mention that crying was a matter of effort.

Kakir watched as the people in the house went out one by one to bask in the sun and take a breath of fresh air, after all, there were more than thirty people living in this small room. They were not allowed to move around at night, so they had to defecate in the house, and the fact that they Europeans did not bathe in the first place made the smell of the house extremely stinky. Even people who have long been accustomed to body odor are a little unbearable, so after dawn, no one wants to stay in the house at all.

However, Kakir is the last to go out these days, because after waiting for others to go out, he will secretly take out a piece of dried and hard dried sweet potatoes from the bag in his arms, people with bad teeth can't bite at all, in the past, Kakiel used to use dried sweet potatoes as food for the slaves on the plantation to eat, this time before he fled to the governor's palace, he deliberately kept an extra eye, and exchanged his fur hat for a bag of the cheapest dried sweet potatoes. Because he was afraid that he would not have enough to eat when he entered the governor's palace.

In fact, Kakiel's worries were right, and when they first entered the Governor's Palace, the Governor's Palace would give them some food as usual, and although they were not full, at least they would not be too hungry. But since some time ago. The Ming army outside began to build a wall outside the Doge's Palace, and moved the Portuguese out of the city, apparently trying to keep them besieged in the Doge's Palace for a long time.

The people led by the governor Vasco da Gama were very frightened by this situation, and the governor's palace had several wells, so there was no need to worry about the water source, but the grain stored in the warehouse was always limited. According to the original personnel in the Governor's Palace, this food was enough for them to eat for a year, but now the ordinary Portuguese residents who are pouring into the Governor's Palace from the outside for **100 people, so that enough food for a year can only last ** months at most, and this is still a very economical situation. Although seven or eight months is already a long time, looking at the actions of the Ming army outside, the other party intends to occupy Goa for a long time, and it will definitely not be easy to let go, so it will be. I'm afraid they will run out of food before they can wait for the help sent by Europe.

It is precisely because of this that when he saw that Da Ming planned to confront them for a long time, Da Gama personally ordered to reduce the daily food supply of everyone in the Governor's Palace, especially ordinary people like Kakir who did not need to defend the Governor's Palace, they could only drink a little bean soup every day, and there were not a few beans in the soup at all, as for the food of those soldiers, it was better, in addition to the bean soup, they could also eat a fist-sized black bread for each meal.

The water-like bean soup is not nutritious at all, and you can only mix it with water at most until you drink it, and after a few trips to the toilet, your stomach will be empty. At first, it was nothing, and some people brought some food like Kakir, but after they finished eating the food they brought, they could only drink bean soup every day, and their eyes soon turned red when they were hungry, and even some hungry people would rob other people's food, and the soldiers of the Governor's Palace had shot and killed a few robbers in the past few days, so it was not easy to restore the original order, but in secret, there were still people who relied on the large number of people or their strong bodies to steal other people's food.

When Kakir entered the city before, he brought a few hired overseers, as well as some familiar manor owners, but these people either did not have the money to buy a place to enter the governor's palace, or they were reluctant to take out all the money on them, so they all ended up in Goa City, and if they did not die, they were probably all slaves on the plantations outside the city.

It was precisely because of this that Cakir was weak among the Portuguese who entered the Doge's Palace, and two days before he was robbed of his bean soup for breakfast, which was also fortunate that he was a man in the prime of life, so those who robbed food would not risk robbing him unless they had to.

However, in comparison, the women, the elderly, and the children who entered the Governor's Mansion were much more miserable, and they did not have much ability to defend themselves, so they could not keep their food at all in the face of those fierce and vicious companions, and if they honestly handed over the food, if they refused to do so, then they would be retaliated against by those people in private.

For example, a few days ago, there was an old man who lived in the same room with Kakir who was unwilling to hand over his food, and the next morning, the old man died, although Kakir and many others saw with their own eyes who killed the old man, but no one dared to say it, because the other party was so large and ruthless that it was useless to deal with a murderer who killed someone, and the other few people would retaliate against the person who reported it again, and the means were even more cruel.

It is precisely those who snatch food that Carkir will take care of the dried sweet potatoes he brought in in advance, and every time after others go out, he will quietly eat a slice, although he is not hungry, but in the case of extreme hunger, it is already a very luxurious enjoyment to be able to have a piece of dried sweet potato to eat.

Kakir carefully finished a slice of dried sweet potatoes, then wiped his mouth a few times, until he felt that no one could tell that he had eaten, then carefully hid the remaining dried sweet potatoes, and after straightening his clothes, he slowly walked out of the stinky room, enjoying the warm feeling of the sun shining on him outside.

After basking in the sun for a while, the breakfast prepared for them by the Governor's Mansion finally came, although it was almost noon now, but no one dared to have any objections, after all, they were originally a burden to the Governor's Palace, and now the Governor's Mansion could give them a bite to eat, which was already very rare.

Today's breakfast is no longer bean soup, but a soup made of corn kernels, in which the corn kernels are also very scarce, at least the corn kernels in the Kakiel bowl can be counted with their eyes, but even if it is such a clear soup, everyone is rushing to line up, and most people drink it immediately after receiving it, for fear that others will snatch their soup away.

But there were also some children and women who, after receiving their breakfast, trembled aside with wooden bowls under the watchful eyes of some male-faced men, and then were snatched of food by those men, and although the food was always in their hands, they did not dare to eat it, because if they did, they would be cruelly retaliated against afterwards.

There were also young women who, after eating their breakfast, began to flirt with the men who had robbed them of other people's food, and soon they were dragged into the house, and when they came out again, they had a little more food in their hands, and these things were happening every day, and Kakir was tired of watching them.

After breakfast, everyone lies in the yard lazily basking in the sun, if it is not necessary, everyone will not move, until it is dark, the second meal of the day will be delivered, still the same as in the morning, it is corn consommé, everyone will immediately go back to the house to rest, the whole day is like the repetition of yesterday, except for the food has changed a little, everything else is exactly the same.

Originally, in the expectation of Shen Zhou, the Portuguese in the Goa Governor's Mansion would hold out for half a year at most and then couldn't help but come out and surrender, but he really underestimated the strong will of Vasco da Gama and others. When the garrison sent by the Ming Dynasty arrived in Goa, the Portuguese in the Doge's Mansion did not surrender, and when the first batch of Ming merchants arrived in Goali, the Portuguese in the Doge's Palace still did not surrender, and when the Portuguese who arranged to work as slaves on the plantations were transported back to the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese in the Doge's Palace still insisted.

For the Portuguese in the governor's palace who refused to surrender, Shen Zhou finally began to compete with the other party, he did not send troops to attack again, but just kept sending troops to surround him, he planned to see how long those Portuguese food could last?
