The news that there was civil unrest in the Governor's Palace, which had been besieged for more than half a year, did not surprise Wang Shouren, and when he observed the soldiers on the wall of the Governor's Palace with a telescope, he found that there were soldiers eating in the watchtower behind him, but the meals were very simple, it was impossible to eat enough, and some soldiers even clashed with the people who delivered the food.

Although this is just a trivial matter, Wang Shouren is very keenly aware that the Portuguese army has begun to be dissatisfied with the logistics system of the Governor's Palace, as long as the army is not well fed, then there are only two results, one is that the defensive force is weak, and finally it was conquered by the Ming Dynasty, and the other is surrender, but if someone dares to obstruct the surrender at this time, then the conflict will naturally occur.

Vasco da Gama was not willing to fail, so he kept the governor's palace, this guy single-handedly opened up a route from Europe to India, it can be said that it is not easy to do this, at least to cross a strange sea, and find a feasible route, it is impossible to complete this difficult task unless you are strong-willed.

However, tenacity is a good thing in some ways, but in another way it can be called stubbornness, for example, in the matter of whether to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, after being besieged by Shenzhou's army for a few months, most of the high-ranking people in the Governor's Mansion have been inclined to surrender, after all, they are just coming to India to make money, not to throw their lives here, not to mention the constant resistance of those ordinary Portuguese who have not had enough to eat, although they have been suppressed by them, but the feeling of slaughtering their compatriots is not very comfortable.

Unfortunately, da Gama was stubborn and insisted that the kingdom would never give up the land of Goa, and that reinforcements should be sent soon. When the time comes, they will join forces with the reinforcements at sea. It will soon be possible to drive away the Ming army outside. Regain control of Goa.

As the governor of Goa, Vasco da Gama directly controlled all the military forces in the governor's palace, so as long as he did not agree, it was useless for others to insist, after all, in this case, the army was the most powerful and reliable force.

In fact, the reason why da Gama was reluctant to surrender was not only stubbornly believing that the kingdom would send reinforcements, but also because of his own selfishness. He was the first to discover the route from Europe to India, which not only brought great benefits to the Kingdom of Portugal, but also made him famous, and for a time became a hero of the Kingdom of Portugal, and everyone would praise him from the bottom of their hearts when they mentioned him. But if da Gama surrendered to the Ming Dynasty now, and also lost such an important place as Goa, it would ruin the reputation he had built up so hard, and even if he could return to Portugal in the future, he would only be scolded by countless people.

It is precisely with such selfishness that I have. So Vasco da Gama would rather die in battle in Goa than trade his prestige for a chance to survive. And in order to strengthen his control over the army, he cruelly reduced the food of those ordinary Portuguese residents, and then used this food to ensure the diet of the army, plus he was the official governor appointed by the king of Portugal, those Portuguese troops naturally did not dare to disobey his orders, even if they let them slaughter their own people, they also did the same.

However, da Gama's plan to embezzle food could only be used for a while, and with the reduction of food in the governor's palace, everyone's diet was restricted, even Da Gama, the governor, usually did not have enough to eat, and occasionally ate a white bread as if it was a festival, and as for the army, they also began to provide rations of food.

Originally, the Portuguese soldiers in the governor's palace were frightened by the Ming army, and they were besieged for so long, they had long lost the courage to fight head-on with the Ming army, and now they couldn't even eat their stomachs, so the army's resentment against Da Gama, the governor, slowly accumulated.

The Governor's Mansion is not only a Governor Da Gama, but also many subordinate officials belonging to the Viceroy of India, most of these people hope to surrender as soon as possible, after all, with their current situation, it is better to fall into the hands of the Ming than not to have enough to eat every day, and they have fallen to the point where they are now, most of them have to blame Gamma, if it weren't for his stubborn belief that he could take down Malacca, the kingdom's fleet would not have been wiped out, and they would not have fallen to the point they are now.

In the past, Vasco da Gama was in control of the army of the Doge's Palace, so no matter how much the subordinates tried to surrender, they had no chance. However, as the grain in the governor's palace was in short supply, even the army had to reduce the food supply, and as a result, the army was dissatisfied, and those subordinate officers who did not want to starve to death with da Gama immediately seized this opportunity and instigated some officers to launch a rebellion.

I have to say that the actions of these people are still very correct, because this rebellion is different from the past, in the past, it was those unarmed ordinary Portuguese who launched a rebellion, and their weapons were all confiscated when they entered the governor's palace, and if they wanted to start a rebellion, they could only snatch the weapons of the soldiers, and it can be said that the weapons alone were enough to defeat those ordinary rebels.

But this rebellion was started by soldiers with weapons in their hands, they not only have rich combat experience, but also have enough weapons, so when this rebellion was launched, the entire governor's palace was in chaos, and everyone was involved in this rebellion, in which the soldiers who participated in the rebellion and the soldiers who did not participate in the rebellion mingled, guns and bullets flew everywhere, and if you were not careful, you might be killed by mistake.

Although the soldiers who launched the rebellion this time were not well prepared, the number of soldiers who participated in the rebellion was very large, and many soldiers who did not participate in the rebellion did not want to be trapped like this anymore, they felt that even if they were captured by the Ming Dynasty, it was more comfortable than staying in the Governor's Mansion every day, after all, the high walls of the Governor's Mansion seemed to them to be no different from the walls of the prison.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that the resistance encountered by those rebel soldiers was not very strong, and there were even many soldiers who did not participate in the rebellion after the exchange of fire, but they actually surrendered directly on the battlefield and participated in the rebellion, as a result, the number of rebel troops increased, and finally eliminated the few armed forces that firmly supported da Gama, and surrounded Da Gama's office.

If it were someone else, I would have either committed suicide or paralyzed in fright, but Da Gama, the pirate leader, was more daring than anyone else, even in this desperate situation, he did not repent at all, and even took up arms to fight the rebels, but he actually shot and killed a rebel officer, but unfortunately it also caused the anger of the rebels, and Da Gama was beaten into a sieve under the random gun, A figure who is enough to leave a name in the history of navigation has thus drawn an unsatisfactory end to his life.

After da Gama's death, the rebellion was finally victorious, and the rest was very simple, the rebels opened the gates of the Doge's palace and surrendered to the Ming army, and sacrificed Da Gama's head. Wang Shouren did not have any surprised expression in this regard, when he heard the gunshots in the governor's palace before, he had already guessed that the other party would go out of the city and surrender.

For the Portuguese who came out to surrender in the Governor's Palace, although Wang Shouren agreed to the surrender of the other party, but in order to punish them for delaying such a long time to surrender, it brought heavy pressure to the Ming army, so all the Portuguese in the Governor's Palace were arranged to work as coolies on the plantation, and only after a year of doing it, they were able to get rid of this heavy labor, and then sorted out and sent to the Ming Dynasty to work.

However, these Portuguese who came out of the Doge's Palace, whether they were soldiers or ordinary people, needed a period of recuperation before they could do heavy work, especially the ordinary Portuguese who were imprisoned in Cakiel, who were even more thin like skeletons, and it was impossible to work, and even after surrendering, Daming provided them with enough food, but they were killed more than a dozen on the spot, which made the others startled, and they no longer dared to eat Hesse.

Kakir was lucky that he escaped the rebellion of the Doge's Palace, and after surrendering, he was not supported to death by the food provided by the Ming Dynasty, but it is worth mentioning that after the surrender, he was arranged to work on his own plantation, and the overseers who supervised him were his former slaves, which made Kakir suffer a lot, but these hardships were nothing compared to the period of his life in the Governor's Palace.

With the besieged Governor's Mansion was also included in the jurisdiction of Goa, the entire Goa finally fell completely into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, for this happy event, Wang Shouren naturally wrote the fold for the first time, and then let people send it to the Zhao Wangfu in Beijing as soon as possible, although Zhou Chong is no longer the governor of the four seas, but now he has officially taken over all the maritime affairs of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Indian side, which is the focus of Zhou Chong's attention.

Wang Shouren's recital crossed India through the Strait of Malacca, and then went all the way north, and it took several months to send it to the Zhao Wangfu in Beijing, but Zhou Zhong was overjoyed when he saw this recital, Goa was completely controlled, which also marked that the Ming Dynasty really sat firmly in the position of hegemon on the west coast of India, even if the Portuguese reinforcements came in the future, it was impossible to drive the Ming away from there, not to mention that Zhou Zhong thought that with a small country like Portugal with a population of just one million, How many troops can it send to reclaim Goa?

However, after Zhou Zhong received the good news from Wang Shouren, he was not happy for too long, he soon thought of another annoyance, during this time he has been troubled by this matter, every time he thinks of it, he can't help but feel a headache. (To be continued......)
