Bartolok shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent, "Come on, man, I'm different from you, I don't care what your emperor thinks, and I didn't want to be the prince of your country." Whether he is willing to negotiate or not, it does not matter, I am sure that he will be happy to meet with me when the cannons are aimed at his palace. I am not dreaming that in three days, Tuen Mun will be supported by five warships and 800 soldiers. That is, I can command almost two thousand people. Do you know what that means? It means that I will become a governor, a real governor, just as the Dharma-61 gamma is in India. ”

Priest Perez looked at the young commander beside him, a devout believer, but also a mad adventurer. From Lisbon to Goa, he followed the Portuguese expeditionary force through too many battles, but he was not a good businessman, at least for now, he was too arrogant. Xu Yang finally thought about Zhao'an, and belittleing the emperor like this in front of him was tantamount to belittleing Xu Yang as well.

He smiled and spoke, "Your Excellency Xu Yang, I believe that with the blessing of the Lord, you and your warriors will be able to defeat all the infidels. But I have a little question, why did you leak some of your battle plan to your enemies? Is there any explanation for this in your country's art of war? ”

Xu Yang laughed, showing quite complacent: "Your Excellency Missionary, you are a servant of God, you know how to communicate with God, but you don't know how to fight. I'm not leaking military information, but I'm digging a hole for him, and I'm going to see if he jumps or not. ”

The Portuguese in front of them are the most unlikely forces to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Yang is in front of them, so there is no need to have reservations, pointing to the map hanging behind him and pointing: "Deng Tong and Li Qi have hundreds of capable sons and daughters in their hands. This time, I found some real people to come over and support the scene. A team of nearly 2,000 people, that is the 2,000 people who have really seen blood and killed people, not comparable to the waste of Black Shark Island. In my letters, I exaggerated their strength by doubling their strength, and the government had to send two battalions to guard against them. According to my information, there are only five battalions of the new army in the government that can fight. They used two battalions to guard against Li Qi and others, and then removed the defense of various places, and those who remained in Ningbo would not exceed half a battalion at most. And I, I will lead all the sons and daughters to Ningbo to make a big ticket, which is called striking east and west, leading the snake out of the hole, and when the time comes, you just wait to see a good show. ”

The port of Ningbo quickly restored order, and trade became more and more prosperous day by day, which has seriously damaged the interests of Xu Yang and the entire Tuen Mun Free Port. As for his willingness to send troops to attack Ningbo, several people are all welcomed with both hands, as long as Ningbo can be slaughtered again, most of them will be slumped, and don't think about doing business again in the future.

Firing a cannon in the port will not achieve this purpose, and if the port is blocked for a long time, let's not mention whether those foreign merchants agree to it. Even the sailors of the Ming Dynasty would not allow pirates to do that.

No matter how weak the ships of the imperial court were, and how many ants bit the elephants, if Xu Yang really couldn't patrol outside Ningbo, and the imperial court would come out and concentrate fishing boats to fight with him, even if he exchanged heads for heads, he would eventually be able to solve his fleet.

After the tribute incident, Ningbo's current prosperity is based on the sense of security brought by the new army. As long as the new army can be defeated head-on, regardless of the number of troops invested by both sides, and the eventual battle losses, Ningbo's trade environment can be destroyed.

The formation of a new army was hampered by many obstacles in the southeast, and there were many opponents. However, the new army has won a great victory on Black Shark Island, and there are figures such as Yang Shen who have publicly stood on the platform, and it is difficult for opponents to say anything. If the Forces nouvelles can be defeated, or if they can take defensive ground from them, then those who oppose the Forces nouvelles can make a big fuss and say that the Forces nouvelles are useless things that cost the people and money, and suppress them. On the side of Yang Chengzu, there is not much choice, if Taizhou is allowed to lose the city, he will also fall into passivity.

If the troops are sent to Taizhou to deploy defenses, the defense of Ningbo will also be empty. In the final analysis, it is still because Xu Yang has a local gentry in Zhejiang to report the news on his behalf, and it is difficult for the arrangement of the official army to escape his grasp, and the military situation is even faster than that of the official army. Even if they are defeated, they can withdraw to Fujian, and the new army belongs to Zhejiang, and they cannot enter Fujian to suppress bandits, which gives them enough room to turn around.

Deng Tong and Li Qi are getting full-fledged, and they have a strong sense of self-reliance recently, and Xu Yang is actually killing two birds with one stone this time, not only showing his strength to the imperial court, but also borrowing the hands of the officials and soldiers to get rid of the two strong enemies who are gradually becoming two-hearted to him.

Bartolok looked at the map and couldn't help nodding, "Brother Xu Yang, I must say that your plan is indeed great, and it is worth our toast to it." If your government encircles you because of this, the door of Tuen Mun will be open for you at any time. The fleets and fortresses here will guarantee your absolute safety. Of course. I don't think you need to go anywhere with the current force of your court. But I have a question, if you really destroy Ningbo, how will you talk to them about Zhao'an in the future? ”

"Brother Commander, this is what you don't understand, our court is like a wolf on land. The weaker you behave, the more it will eat your meat. Like when you first came to Tuen Mun, if you just gave money and said good things, you don't know how many knives they will be. Only if you are strong enough, they will not dare to eat you, but will be afraid of you, and will really talk to you calmly. Therefore, you must first perform strong enough before you are qualified to talk about recruitment and cooperation. I have enough men and boats, but in terms of equipment, I need your help this time. Of course, I will give you a satisfactory figure for the seizure of Ningbo. ”

"Dude, it makes me so sad to say this, is it true that in your eyes, our friendship is measured by the spoils of war? No, no, you can't hurt a governor of the great Kingdom of Portugal like that. Listen, I will give you a thousand arquebuses, arquebuses made by our workers, and you only need one salvo to make your opponent flee without a single one. Let them hear the roar of the Lord and sanction them with the thunder of righteousness! ”

Perez nodded, "If this battle can be successful, maybe we should also consider the next step to continue to spread the gospel of the Lord, not just this small island." ”

He looked at the map and pointed to Guangzhou with his finger, "As long as Your Excellency Xu Yang's actions can achieve results, our army will cooperate with you and take Guangzhou." Let the gospel of the Lord be spread to the interior of the Ming Dynasty, this is our mission! In order to accomplish this mission, let us join hands and let the Ming Empire see our strength. ”

"Well said, let them see, our power!" The three of them raised their glasses and drank from them as if they were blood-colored. At this time, hundreds of ships in the Fujian and Guangdong oceans of the Ming Dynasty, under the paddle of sailors, marched towards the pre-agreed islands, assembled on an island that had not been marked on ordinary charts, and stood by......
