Since Shenzhou blocked the port of Goa, the city of Goa is in chaos, especially those who listen to the propaganda of the domestic nobles, thinking that India is full of gold, and the local natives are also very stupid, and they will not pose any threat to them at all, but now they have provoked such an enemy as the Ming Dynasty, and the other party's warships are no worse than them, and even the port is blocked, and they can't escape if they want to.

Originally, after da Gama fled back, the news of this defeat has been strictly blocked, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people of Goa, but I didn't expect that the Ming fleet has already caught up with the door, which makes the news of their defeat can no longer be hidden, and soon the Portuguese fleet was almost wiped out, and only the news of da Gama's flagship escaping back spread throughout Goa.

What is called to make matters worse, the current situation in Goa City is that the Ming fleet blockade of the port has already made the residents of Goa City panic, and now the news of the destruction of the fleet going to Malacca has made the whole Goa fall into despair, after all, this is not Europe, even if they want to ask for help from home, but it will take at least more than a year for the rescue to arrive, but now there is no one to help them.

People lose their minds when they are desperate, and these Portuguese people who are far from home are no exception, so when the news of the total destruction of the expeditionary fleet spread, the whole Goa fell into chaos, and the desperate Portuguese residents began to smash and loot, and even a dozen rapes occurred in one day, so that the women of Goa residents did not dare to go out alone.

Speaking of which, at the beginning, these Indian kings were still very welcome to the Portuguese, because the other party could provide them with many novel goods, and the Portuguese would also buy some of their goods. It is the profiteer in trading with the Portuguese.

However, since the Portuguese occupied Goa, they immediately showed their true colors, relying on their strong army to wantonly oppress several surrounding local kings. It was also advantageous in trade, and what made it even more unbearable for those Turkish kings was that the Portuguese also forced their religion in Goa, strictly prohibiting the native people from practicing Islam and Hinduism, which caused the native people of Goa to flee one after another, which also caused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding native kings.

In the past, the Portuguese were too strong, and although the surrounding earth kings were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it, but now the Portuguese were blocked into the port by the Ming fleet, and the fleet that Portugal relied on the most has been wiped out. This made several local kings around Goa no longer have any scruples, and they sent people to ask for Shen Zhou, hoping to help them attack Goa, after all, they were oppressed by the Portuguese very badly before, and now is the time for revenge.

For those who take the initiative to come forward to show goodwill. Shen Zhou also showed great enthusiasm, after all, Wang Shouren gave him an order not only to drive the Portuguese out of Goa, but also to let him take care of the relationship so that the Ming Dynasty could rule here in the future.

However, although Shen Zhou expressed his friendliness to these earth kings, he did not fully agree to the requests of the earth kings, but only agreed that these earth kings could enter the periphery of Goa to clear the Portuguese power, but for the most elite Goa city. But it is strictly forbidden for the natives to enter, after all, after so many years of construction, the Portuguese finally built Goa City into a prosperous port, if the natives are allowed to destroy it, it will be the property of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the city of Goa must be concentrated in a large amount of Portuguese wealth. Naturally, Shen Zhou would not give up these riches to others.

The reason why those local kings wanted to attack Goa so actively, in addition to the dissatisfaction with Portugal accumulated before, the most important thing was driven by interests, and no one knew better than them how much wealth there was in Goa City, and it was precisely for the wealth in Goa City. That's why they behaved so actively, but unfortunately Shen Zhou forbade them to enter the city, which broke all their wishful thinking, but they didn't dare to object, and there were many Portuguese settlements outside Goa, which were responsible for growing crops such as tea and spices, and there should also be a lot of oil and water.

After sending away the greedy kings, Shen Zhou once again urged the ships in his fleet to prepare for the Portuguese in Goa if they did not surrender by dawn tomorrow, then he would bombard the port of Goa and enter the city by force, and then he would no longer guarantee the safety of the Portuguese.

Compared with Shen Zhou's high spirits, the city of Goa was gloomy, especially in the governor's palace where da Gama lived, which was extremely depressing, and the people who came and went were in a hurry, and tried not to get close to da Gama's office, for fear of accidentally provoking the anger of the governor.

It was already dusk, and there were no candles lit in Da Gama's room, which made it dim, and behind a large desk, a haggard Da Gama sat there, with two hands in his long curly hair, and a painful expression on his face.

Vasco da Gama was the first European to reach India by sea, and when he led his fleet around the Cape of Storm in Africa to reach India, he suffered great losses, but when he returned to Portugal with a ship full of spices, he was immediately treated like a hero, and the spices he brought back were worth hundreds of times more than they had invested in the voyage, and it can be said that that voyage made him a hot upstart in Portugal.

Originally, according to Da Gama's plan, he would spend his old age in Portugal, but a few years ago, because of the failure of the Portuguese attack on Malacca, da Gama had to be ordered to return to India as the governor of India again, and even in order to find out the details of the Ming Dynasty, he also ventured to the Ming Dynasty and personally met His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It was also the experience of the envoy to the Ming Dynasty that made Da Gama thoroughly understand the details of the Ming Dynasty, although when he first arrived at the Shuangyu Port under the rule of Zhou Chong, Da Gama was taken aback, in his opinion, the Shuangyu Port with extremely developed industry and commerce is just a port of the Ming Dynasty, and it already has such a strong strength, so the Ming with a huge territory is definitely not the existence they can provoke.

However, the Ming Dynasty shocked him only with one Shuangyu Port, before he took a boat to Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, although the boat rarely stopped along the way, but Da Gama through the conversation with those Ming sailors, quickly let him grasp some of the situation that he could not see before, and when they landed from the place called Tianjin Wei, Da Gama finally saw the other side of the Ming Dynasty, that is, poverty and ignorance, you must know that Tianjin is not far from Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it is so poor in such a close place from the capital, Then the rest of the place can be imagined.

The next trip also confirmed Da Gama's conjecture, the Ming was not as powerful as he had imagined, most of the ordinary people he saw in the Ming were very poor, they couldn't even afford to eat, many people were still wearing single clothes in winter, and the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were arrogant and stupid, and there were almost no officials like Zhou Chong, the governor of the four seas.

After Da Gama met the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although Da Gama was very respectful, he actually observed the master of this huge empire with his own eyes all the time, although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very young, and he was also very heroic, but he did not like to deal with government affairs, and the contradictions with the ministers were very deep, which made Da Gama more assured, and even he lived in Beijing for a long time, in order to be able to better understand the empire.

It is also after these multi-angle investigations and understanding, and finally da Gama finally made an accurate judgment on the Ming Dynasty, in his opinion, although the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, but also has a splendid history and culture, but this huge empire has entered the end of the period, the people at home are living in difficulty, the officials are arrogant and stupid, and there is a threat of the Tatars outside, it is said that those Tatars are the Mongols who conquered Europe, and the Ming has such a neighbor, which is simply a gift from God to Europe.

After seeing the actual situation of Daming clearly, Da Gama immediately began to attack Malacca for the second time after returning from Daming, after all, in his opinion, although there are ministers like Zhou Zhong on the sea of Daming, but no matter how powerful Zhou Chong is, he is just one person, and the Ming behind him has been rotten from the roots, so Zhou Chong alone can't change anything at all. In addition, Vasco da Gama did not believe that the Ming navy would be stronger than the Portuguese navy, the last battle of Malacca was the reason why the Ming was able to win, all by sneak attack to take away their own side of the warship, if it was a head-on battle at sea, with the Ming navy he saw at that time was definitely not his own opponent.

It can be said that Da Gama's analysis is still very reasonable, if Zhou Zhong is just an ordinary minister, I am afraid that he will not change the status quo of Da Ming in just a few years, but it is a pity that Zhou Zhong has the absolute trust of Zhengde, so he can do whatever he wants at sea, plus Zhou Zhong has the advantage of a traverser, so in just a few years, it has made Da Ming undergo earth-shaking changes, especially Da Ming's naval construction, which is far beyond Da Gama's expectations, and when he entered the Strait of Malacca, But it was the biggest defeat of his life, and now it put the foundation that Portugal had so hard built on the Indian side in jeopardy.
