Chapter 115: The Portuguese-Chinese Conflict (I)

After visiting the rubber base, Father-in-law Zhang clamored to visit another secret base. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAnother secret base is for the production of weapons, mainly a small steel furnace that Xiao Tian thought of at dusk, and it cost Xiao Tian two million taels before and after, and it has not yet been built.

If the base has not been built, I am not in a hurry to let Gonggong Zhang see it, and let's talk about it after it is built. Otherwise, Father-in-law Zhang wouldn't have been able to see why, I heard that this thing cost more than two million taels and still had to faint?

Grandpa Zhang heard Xiaotian say that it has not been built yet, even if it is, these two things are enough to make him excited, and the matter is big, and Grandpa Zhang did not dare to send his subordinates back to report, so he had to personally bring a few mirrors and a little rubber sample back to Beijing to report.

The court sent him a total of two prison guards, one was dragged away by his father, and the other didn't stay for a few days, and was beaten back by Xiao Tian.

The two overseers are gone, Xiao Tian should also do something serious, Xiao Tian is not an idler, a lot of things are waiting for him. It has been more than four months since Oda Nobunaga promised Oda Nobunaga to go to the Wakoku again within three months, and it is really a bit too much to say that he will not go again.

But who would have thought, before he could set off, another tricky thing dragged Xiaotian back. The soldiers below came to report that there was another chaos in Macau, and the Portuguese and the locals of Macao had a conflict, and there were also human lives, and both sides pointed to Xiaotian to call the shots.

To be precise, it is the locals of Macao who point to Xiaotian to call the shots, and the Portuguese wait for Xiaotian's reaction, and Xiaotian will solve it by himself if he doesn't come.

There is no way, the Portuguese are now welcomed into Macao by Xiaotian, and the two sides are also very close in partnership, which is public and private, and reasonable, and Xiaotian has to take care of it.

No tricks, Xiao Tian can only take the fleet to see the situation first, the Portuguese since the first batch of Hua Luo Shi came, the second batch and the third batch will arrive soon, this is definitely premeditated, less than two months, now there are more than 20,000 Portuguese on Macau, more than 10,000 guns, it is already the third largest force in this sea area in addition to Xiao Tian and Xu Hai, Xiao Tian also has to be cautious.

Hua Luoshi has now arrived with all the troops, and he is somewhat confident when he sees Xiao Tian, and he did not flatter him, but said neither humbly nor arrogantly; "Your Excellency the Marquis, we have been living in this territory of your country in a friendly manner according to the agreement between us, but unfortunately, some of the people of your country are not friendly to us, and now there is a conflict, I hope that Your Excellency the Marquis can give us a fair ruling, although my Portuguese Empire is not as strong as the Ming Dynasty, but it is also dignified."

Xiaotian is also a head and two big, but the necessary dismount is still necessary, and it doesn't matter what three-seven-twenty-one, with a wave of his hand, let the more than 100 warships brought with him collectively breathe fire for these foreign devils to see. This was discussed a long time ago, and they were stabbed in the province.

Warlord was obviously frightened when he saw more than a hundred ships breathing fire at the same time. Holding back his uneasiness, he asked, "What are you doing here, Lord Marquis, I admit that your weapons are very powerful, but is this how you treat your friends?" ”

Diplomacy, it has always been a slap and a sweet date, after the slap is over, it is natural to feed the sweet dates, Xiaotian said: "No, no, no, of course not, my dear friend, I just told you that my Ming Empire will always have the power and ability to deal with all the problems that occur in our territory, let's talk about the problem, if the fault is really on our side, I will not cover it."

Hua Luoshi didn't dare to go crazy at this time, and told Xiao Tian the whole thing as it was, Xiao Tian was not good after hearing it, this matter is not only tricky, it is simply the rhythm of driving the judge crazy.

It turns out that this matter is really not to blame Portugal for bullying people, in the final analysis, it is a matter of differences in living habits.

The Portuguese are all Christians, and their enthusiasm for proselytizing is almost stronger than making a fortune, and Xiaotian doesn't care, religious freedom, as long as it is a legal way to preach, Xiaotian welcomes it.

The most special thing about China's religious beliefs is that in this land, no matter how many sects there are, they can live in harmony, and even if they don't get along, at least they won't use knives. There are Buddhism and Taoism for a long time, Mingjiao and White Lotus Sect are more recently, and there are land temples and temples of wealth and Mazu temples that are a little more down-to-earth, and every household worships the God of Wealth, Guan Gong, the god of the king of the stove, the god of night travel, and even the god of the door, and so on. Many ordinary people worship Guan Gong at home, and the door god is pasted on the door, and they go to the Mazu Temple to incense during the New Year's Festival, and there is a funeral and ask the monk to exceed.

In the concept of the Chinese, it is important to worship the gods when they meet them, and no one can be offended. At first, the missionaries saw that the residents of this neighborhood were so cooperative, thinking that they had made contributions to the cause of the Lord, and they were very happy, but they did not expect that they turned around and went to the Mazu Temple to offer incense.

This is simply incredible in the eyes of Europeans. They insist that the Lord is the only true God in the world, and that everything else is heresy. In Europe, heretics are to be burned alive. Moreover, they can understand not believing in God, and they can understand believing in other gods, but they cannot understand both God and heresy.

They demanded that if you believe in God, you can't worship other gods, but this is incomprehensible in the eyes of us Chinese. Everyone is an immortal, why should your gods be so domineering? Even if his mana is strong, can he still beat all our immortals?

The intensification of the conflict stems from a bowl of porridge with pig's blood. (Believers are not allowed to eat blood.)

A few days ago, the priest used his knowledge to cure a patient in Macao who had committed a minor illness, and the patient was very grateful to the priest and gave him many gifts, but the priest did not accept them, hoping that the patient would return to the arms of God.

Of course, the patient had no opinion, and that evening, the patient warmly invited the priest to his home for dinner, and the priest readily agreed. Things have progressed to this point, and it is still a harmonious scene, which is simply a model of friendly coexistence between the two countries, but as a result, the bad thing is that the patient cooked a bowl of pig blood porridge.

The common people are very poor, and they can't see meat on weekdays, and this pig blood porridge patient is reluctant to make it on weekdays, so he specially uses it to entertain guests. The priest, who had never seen it before, ate it very sweetly, and asked the patient what it was made of. The patient, of course, replied that it was pig blood.

The priest's face turned green at that time, and he picked his throat for a long time before he vomited. After spitting it out, of course, he was very angry, scolded the patient, and slammed the door and left.

Afterwards, the more the patient thought about it, the more angry he became, I was kind enough to entertain you, and if you didn't appreciate it, it would be okay, and you would scold me.

The sick man was also hot-tempered, and that night, he took a bowl of steaming pig's blood porridge and drank it at the priest's door. (To be continued.) )
