At the beginning of the afternoon of the sixth day, an accident occurred, which made Zhao Lie feel for the first time that God might not be kind to him.

At the beginning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, a 400-ton Spanish Galen merchant ship and a 300-ton frigate arrived in Macao, and Zhao Da on the wharf hurriedly gathered his troops. Krishto and João led the ship to anchor next to the Fuhai under the watchful eye of ten Ming soldiers.

Alfonso. Perez was the captain of the Sama frigate, and the purpose of this long voyage was twofold: one was the arrival of letters from China, the Governor of Macau, Masgar Road, and the new Governor Lo Bao to take up his post in a few months. Spanish Governor Fernando ordered Alfonso to lead the Sama to escort the merchant ship Palawan to Macao, and by the way, the silver brought from the Americas was exchanged for raw silk, porcelain, silk and other best-selling goods, and the silver in the Americas was exchanged for the best-selling items of the Ming Dynasty has been a practice for decades, the Ming Dynasty is rich, but the gold and silver are in short supply, Spain has the gold and silver mountains of the Americas just to adjust whether there is anything or not, which is more than two million taels of trade every year, and it is also the reason for the prosperity of the trade route from Macao to Luzon.

At the docks, Alfonso joined Romero, captain of the Palawan, and went to the council chamber with more than a dozen escorts to meet the speaker.

"Alfonso, there was no need to escort here before, but since the Dutch occupied Xiaoliuqiu in the Ming Dynasty, their ships used it as a base to harass us, and now they have to escort us." Romero sighed with a wink of small round Basque eyes, who also had a short figure and black beard that is common to Basques.

"Romero, there is no way but to hope that the kingdom will get out of the Holy Roman Empire war, otherwise our overseas territories will have a hard time." Alfonso chimed in. He has blonde hair and blue eyes, which are rare in Spaniards, and the tall Alfonso is impressive at first sight.

Of course, Alfonso understood that Spain's escape from the war was easy to say, but too difficult to do, France, England, and the Netherlands had the advantage, how could it be so easy to let go of the Spaniards, they coveted the territory of the Spanish Empire, how could these bandits stop without getting benefits.

The two sighed and walked forward, and the group of people came to an intersection, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and dozens of soldiers in Ming costumes surrounded them, and bright spears and muskets were aimed at them.

The leader of the guards, Thordo, and another guard raised their flintlocks.

"Lay down your arms, Macau is already under our control." Tang Xianwen shouted, Krishtto translated.

Soldo was silent, and shot Tang Xianwen is shot. Soerdo has seen a lot in the Philippines, where the natives against the Spanish soldiers were fierce at first, and after a few shots, they scattered like birds and beasts. Soerdo's gamble was that the leader of the indigenous people of the Ming Dynasty was killed and immediately dispersed.

However, he lost the bet.

Tang Xianwen dodged smartly, the projectile grazed his left shoulder, splashing blood, and a Ming soldier behind the side couldn't dodge, was shot in the chest, and fell and rolled with a scream. At the same time, several gunshots rang out, and several of Sordo's guards were shot and fell to the ground. Tang Xianwen had already confessed that except for the two leaders who were captured alive, everyone else would be killed if they resisted.

Alfonso and Romero stood there stiffly, their faces pale, they were navy, and they had experienced artillery battles, but it was the first time that they had exchanged fire at such a close distance.

Tang Xianwen turned around to look at the fallen Ming army, only to see that his shouting gradually stopped, and he saw that he couldn't do it.

"Kill all the guards." Tang Xianwen gritted his teeth and ordered.

The pikemen stepped forward to exhale and send their guns, and the pop sound was chaotic, and the remaining guards fell to the ground screaming, and the pikemen refilled their guns whether they were dead or alive, leaving only Alfonso and Romero.

"If you can't get the soldiers on board to surrender, this is what will happen to you." Tang Xianwen said murderously.

At this time, the two of them looked at the corpses that were still twitching in the blood holes everywhere underground, and nodded helplessly, at this time, they couldn't help but bow their heads, and it was important to save their lives, and the Ming natives on the opposite side were a bunch of barbarians who killed people without blinking.

The Spanish soldiers on the ship were tidying up, and after the captain came back for a while, most of them could take a holiday, just in time to taste the taste of the Ming woman and the Portuguese woman. Everyone laughed and laughed, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the people on the deck were a little suspicious, as if they faintly heard a few gunshots, but in Macau, they didn't care too much, wasn't there still Portuguese to maintain order, but it was unusual for three Portuguese warships to come to the sea behind them. What's even more strange is that they lined up and faced the two ships with a side chord, blocking the channel.

The first mate of the Sama ordered to be on guard, and at the same time he took a closer look with his binoculars, and it was indeed flying the flag of the Kingdom of Portugal, and there were Portuguese people on the deck, but there were some people in Ming costumes, and he was suspicious, and hundreds of Ming people poured into the dock.

On closer inspection, he found that the two captains had been captured, and the Akito shouted for them to surrender.

At this time, the open and closed gun windows of the three Portuguese ships opened, revealing the muzzles of the black holes, the first mate's heart was cold, there were thirty guns of all sizes on his ship, and there were less than ten guns on the Palawan, and the cannons on both sides were on the side of each other, nearly forty guns against more than ten, the problem was that they could fire at the Sama in a concentrated manner, and the Sama would fire at an enemy ship, and who would deal with the remaining two, this was a dead end, and there was no luck.

The first mate thought about it for a while, and then ordered to surrender, even if he surrendered like this, the responsibility is not on him, there is also the captain above, and it is important to save his own life at the moment.

Nearly 200 Spanish soldiers on both ships disembarked one after another to lay down their arms.

Zhao Da, who presided over the dock, and Zhang Drumming on the battleship breathed a sigh of relief, the gunners of the Ming Dynasty and the coercive Portuguese gunners were all lined up only enough for two and a half ships, after all, there were more than 20 cannons on each ship, a total of 70 cannons, how could there be so many gunners, and they were not familiar with the cannons, this was taking risks, gambling, fortunately, the Spaniards did not have the courage to take risks, and Zhao Lie won the bet.

When Zhao Lie arrived at the dock, the dust had already settled.

Zhao Lie curiously took a closer look at the Spanish warship, and found that compared with the Portuguese battleship, the Spanish battleship building is still taller, it seems that the tall American treasure ship in history gave the Spanish a hundred years of unforgettable memory, even if it suffered a big loss from the English in the war, this battleship is still slightly too high, affecting the balance and speed. Zhao Lie's previous life and Li Qian of the headquarters have the same smell, like to travel around the world, the United Kingdom, the United States have been there, and the British sail warships have also seen, but they have seen the appearance, just appreciate it, and sigh that the English people are riding them to conquer the world and become the empire on which the sun never sets, who knows that in the end it will be to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise see more, learn more, it's a pity. Judging from the appearance, the layman Zhao Lie only saw that the English warships were much lower than those of the Spaniards.

Zhao Lie ordered that the cousins of Portugal and Spain should go to the Fortress together.

In the evening, the inventory was reported.

"Two hundred and twenty-two thousand taels of silver, one hundred and fifty-seven muskets, eleven flint short guns, five pairs of full-body armor, twenty pairs of half-body armor, a thousand pounds of gunpowder, eighteen telescopes, thirty-six Andalusian horses, of which twenty-five stallions." It is a summary of Tang Xianwen again.

"Xianwen, I can't listen to your report enough every day." Zhao Lie made a joke.

Everyone at the bottom burst into laughter, and everyone wanted to listen to such a rich reward every day.

Zhao Lie is in a very good mood, the two warships, they are a little clumsy, that is compared with the English, in the Far East or full of power, 200,000 taels of silver is even more charcoal, for the Philippine Governor Fernando, Zhao Lie sincerely praised, what a good person, as for the extra war horse, Zhao Lie even wanted to issue Fernando a good man card, a big good guy. The large sums of silver that were purchased from the Ming Dynasty and brought to Macao to enhance their mobility to make up for the lack of troops were all given to Zhao Lie. It really moved Zhao Lie to tears.

This trip to Macao is worth it, you want money, you want boats, you want people.
