"Lord Chen's battle is indeed a second, the so-called soldiers who surrender without a fight must be like this!"

On the canton ship outside the port of Macao, a military general in the bow of the ship leaned on the side of the ship and looked into the harbor, where a man dressed as a scribe praised him with pleasure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This military general was wearing the light armor of a naval general, he was in his thirties, and his figure was quite slender, listening to the praise of the people around him, but there was no joy on his face. "Mr. Gao has won the prize, what a wonderful thing is this, but he just drilled an empty hand!"

"Lord Chen is too modest, this time the imperial court decreed, promoted the Lord to the commander of the Guangdong Navy, there are many words of encouragement, this time to clean up Macao, and this strange soldier, the army has won a big victory, it is really breathtaking, the student saw it with his own eyes this time, it is indeed admired, after going back to Guangzhou, he will be clear, for the adult, it can be regarded as a good start after the promotion!" Saying this, Chen Phosphorus turned around, hugged his fists and thanked:

"Mr. Chen thanked Mr. for his kindness, Mr. has been in the curtain for a long time, and everything he has seen and heard is the suppression of thieves in the southwest Zhumiao, and he doesn't know much about sea affairs, Lao Zhang, you and Mr. Gao tell me, if the boats in the port are prepared, what will happen to our ships?" When a general of the Qianfu army on the side heard this, he took a step forward and said: "If they are prepared, our arson will not be able to come to the front, I am afraid that we will sail out of the port and come one by one" The scribe was a little confused when he heard this, and at this time he couldn't help but interject and asked: "Lord Chen, we have more than 150 large and small warships this time, how many people can there be, even if they rush out, what can they do?" Chen Phosphorus and Mr. Qian glanced at each other, both of them showed a wry smile, and Mr. Qian clenched his fists and said:

"My lord, don't talk about anything else, just say that the three largest ones came out, and the three ships were full of more than 100 cannons, and they were fired in turn, how can our ships withstand it, and the brothers will try their best to see if they can get to the front, but these ten are **, and the front will be sunk.

This Mr. Gao is the master of the military affairs of the governor of Liangguang Lingyun Wing Curtain, the imperial court hurriedly delivered the will, and the whole of Guangdong naturally did not dare to slack off, not only let Chen Li lead the sailors to dispatch, but also in order to coordinate with the local government, he also sent his own cronies to contact in the center.

The Governor of Liangguang has been constantly quelling and suppressing the rebellions of various ethnic groups in the southwest in the south over the years, from the governor to the governor, the civil officials are also related to this military affairs and war arrays all day long, and this Mr. Gao is also quite familiar with this war.

Yesterday, Chen Li requisitioned civilian ships, loaded with firewood and grass to enter the port as merchant ships, and today issued an order, these pretended businessmen only stuck to the big ships with cannons, and immediately ignited if there was any abnormal movement.

Seeing that those ships in the harbor were honest and did not dare to move, looking like they were being slaughtered, Mr. Gao was very happy to see it, but he didn't expect to get this statement, he was a little depressed for a while, quieted down, and couldn't help but clap his hands and say+r "To say this, isn't the sea frontier of the Ming Dynasty dangerous, let these ships come and go?" "Now that I'm talking about Haijiang, Fanju has always come and gone freely...... Mr. Gao, don't look at the old warships of our Guangdong naval divisions, as far as Chen knows, this is already good. ”“…… Fanren's warship is so sharp, can't we build it? ”

"Mr. Gao, the silver from there, now the silver is spent on nine sides, when Ping Yao was in chaos, 100,000 was in a hurry, but the silver could not be allocated from above, didn't Mr. Gao also know about this matter?" Speaking of this, Mr. Gao was also speechless, then sighed, turned to the direction of the port and whispered: "Is there no way?" ”

"Not necessarily, running errands in Macau, some people say it's a big fuss, some people say it's a joke, but Chen feels that there is some deep meaning in it, and many things can't be taken as before. Mr. Gao nodded and said in a low voice:

"With this will, Lord Ling's friends in Beijing also sent a few private letters, saying that this matter was not done by the young man Wang Tong of Tianjin Wei, and that the military affairs actually became a child's play for teenagers, and I heard that the young man Qianhu spent some days in Macao back then......

Chen Phosphorus smiled and said to himself:

"It's not necessarily child's play......"

But Mr. Gao didn't hear this, and then someone in the harbor waved his flag, and the sailor, who had been lying on the mast and watching, shouted loudly:

"My lord, the port has sent a letter, saying that everything is in order, and that the adults are invited to go ashore on errands.

"The Japanese and the pirates chose to repair the ships here and buy weapons, which was very harmful, and it was planned to return the relevant people to the mainland, but the sea was thousands of miles, and it was easy to be taken by the thieves when they returned, but it was not beautiful, so they were specially ordered to wait for the ship to go north with the ship, and go to Tianjin Wei to live temporarily, and when it was peaceful, they would return to Macao and return to their hometowns to choose their own.

After going ashore, all the Portuguese leaders in Macau were gathered together, and Mr. Gao spoke to them with a serious expression.

This result is very surprising, Naswis and officials are very surprised, but they can't raise any objections, the interests of the Portuguese in Macau are local merchants and clerical officers, these craftsmen and craftsmen are also inferior, less of them, but another batch, since the Ming Kingdom does not want them to stay here, then drive away, don't say that they go north, even if they are killed now, there will be no opinion on the Macau side. After everyone looked at each other, several big businessmen and high-ranking officials nodded slightly; Immediately, someone stepped forward and said: "Since the respected general said this, although I regret the general's rude behavior today, I still put peace and the overall situation first, and I am willing to respect your arrangement, general." ”

Such face-saving words made Chen Fu laugh, and then looked at the port and then at the respectful Swazi, but remembered something, and whispered a few words to the interpreter.

The interpreter was stunned, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then walked up to those people and asked, "Venerable General Chen has something to ask you, who are your best generals here, who are the best soldiers, and the generals and soldiers each report five names!?" ”

I didn't expect the Ming Congress to report this problem, and low-level officers and soldiers also don't care, and they can be replenished from home at any time.

"The best general" As soon as he heard this, Swazi subconsciously straightened his back, and just about to say his name, he was now looking at it with contempt and swallowing it immediately, whether it was a Portuguese or a Ming person. saliva, in line with the practice of voting for generals in the dwarf, ten names were reported. "Because it's Franco's people, you also have to send troops to escort you, didn't you just say the names of ten people, these ten people should also go together!"

This is also a matter of indifference, it is just ten soldiers, and most of the people who come here from Europe to serve as soldiers far from their homeland are people who have no way out, and they are sent away. Lieutenant Colonel Swazi nodded, Chen Li turned his head to look at the port, pointed to the largest ship and said: "There are almost four hundred people, and the government's ships are not enough, use that ship to load the shovel to the north, the government will send soldiers on duty on the ship, and will also send a few ships to follow." After listening to the interpreter's words, several Portuguese merchants finally became a little anxious, and one of them hurriedly said: "Honorable general, this ship is about to go to the South Seas, and if we go to the north, we will lose a lot of Jincheng." ”

Chen Phosphorus would ignore their explanations, and just led his own soldiers to inspect the forts and forts along the coast of Macao, and Mr. Gao said with a straight face: "I just tell you how to do it, not to ask whether you agree or not, do you want this ship, or do you want to see the port turn into a sea of fire now......

It was already a little dark, and anyone standing on the beach could see the light of the torches on the arsonist ships in the harbor, and the Ming soldiers had already changed a few torches

The profit of a voyage is delayedCompared with the simple size of this expensive armed merchant ship, it is still easy to distinguish the weight from the heavy.

Over there, Chen Phosphorus was inspecting the fort facing the port in Macao, when a cronie on the side looked back and asked in a low voice:

"General, my subordinates took the liberty to say that in the news that my subordinates heard here, there was no mention of using these people's boats, nor did they say that they should send troops to follow them, and you will do this, will the general?" Chen Phosphorus smiled, looked at the sea and whispered: "What is the Son of Heaven and the young man Qianhu want to do, I am cunning to a few percent, and doing so will only add to the icing on the cake......

In the second half of July, even Beizhili is also hot, but there are people around who shake fans and fan the wind and sit in the building boat, sailing on the canal, there is a breeze blowing from time to time, and there is moraine sour plum soup to quench your thirst, it is very pleasant.

Chu Zhaoren, the former eunuch of Nanjing, and the current eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, is now so comfortable, sitting in the boat, there are more than a dozen little eunuchs waiting around him, and they are busy up and down.

Hu Zhizhong, the head of the sixth branch of the celebrant eunuch, went to Nanjing to take up his post, and the entourage had two official ships, but the team of the Chu eunuchs had more than 50 large ships, full of money and special products.

The eunuchs in Nanjing almost have the meaning of managing the Jiangnan area on behalf of the sky, the position is high and powerful, and the people below are very stammered, the eunuchs of Chu have been in Nanjing for five years, and the following flattery and filial piety are naturally a lot.

These more than 50 ships are for their own use, those who want to be given to the big guys in Beijing, Eunuch Chu has already calculated and allocated them, he knows in his heart that if it weren't for the flattery from top to bottom in the past few years, and the prominent position of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and Admiral is vacant, how can he get his turn, how many people in the twenty-four yamen are staring at it!

Now that you are in this position, you can operate calmly and wait for any opportunities to go further. The fleet went north, and it looked like Tianjin Wei......
