Until the turnaround dock, Zhao Lie still reminisced about the atmosphere with Alexandra, and when he entered the cabin, Zhao Lie forced himself to return to the role of the commander-in-chief of the operation, after all, the success or failure of this operation was too crucial. If he succeeds, he will be able to dominate the industry, and if he fails, he will die without a place to be buried, and he cannot be half-hearted and unwilling.

After dinner, in the cabin of the Fuhai, the traveling group of people reported to Zhao Lie about Macao, and also let Zhao Lie know the current situation in Macao.

It turned out that the nominal supreme governor of Macau was actually appointed by the Portuguese regent of Spain, King Philip IV's cousin, Duke Mantua, because the king of Spain could only sit in the country, Portugal was supervised by his cousin Mantua, and the most distant territory of Macau, for her orders were disobeyed, and the real power in the city was Alonzo, the speaker of the parliament. Fernández, who was the de facto commander of the city defense, the commander of the army, Felipe. Captain Gonzalez was a close friend of his early military friends, and his position was appointed by him, the Speaker, and he would only obey Alonzo.

Upon learning this news, Zhao Lie was very happy, if the Speaker took control of the Governor at that time, the Speaker took the opportunity to slip away, and then the fun would be great, I am afraid that the Speaker would not care about the life or death of the Governor, and would only resist stubbornly, and Macao, which had three forts, would immediately let several Chinese sea ships be wiped out.

In addition, the army in the city was only about 400 men, of which less than 200 were the army, most of them were stationed in the central battery, and there were five warships of all sizes, two of which were not in the harbor.

Zhao Lie announced that the formulation of a specific action plan, as well as the heads of various departments, the old rules, everyone can speak freely, check and fill in the gaps. It was not until the end of the day, after several quarrels and repetitions, that a rough plan was formulated, and Zhao Lie finally spoke, expressing satisfaction with everyone's serious attitude and plan: "Finally, I want to say that the casualties should be minimized during the operation, but if someone gives stubborn resistance, it must be decisively killed." For the Portuguese do not kill innocents indiscriminately, do not have too much sympathy, do not be deceived by their politeness, the Portuguese occupied the Middle East, India, Ceylon, Malacca, Brazil did not rely on politeness, but ship cannons, only in Brazil caused millions of indigenous deaths, and his close relative Spain caused the demise of tens of millions of indigenous people in the Americas, and the Netherlands, a rising maritime power belonging to Europe, invaded our Ming Fujian a few years ago, and caused more than 1,000 deaths and injuries to our Ming Dynasty, so they are robbers, It's just a robbery dominated by the state, and we are just returning the way of others, and there is nothing to apologize for. ”

At that time, they were still skeptical of Zhao Lie's statement that the European powers' strong ships and giant cannons were approaching step by step, but now when Macao saw the army and giant ships of the Xiyi people, they were all happy and convinced, and everyone agreed with it.

Early the next morning, Zhao Lie sent people to survey the line, and according to the plan, Tang Xianwen and Huang Han entered the official residence first, approached the speaker, controlled him and the others, and at the same time controlled the council hall outside, and then surrounded and annihilated the Portuguese army in the Fortress that came to meet them on the way, and finally controlled the navy and mastered the whole of Macao.

Therefore, the small square in the north of the council hall that was finally determined as the ambush site was extremely important, Zhao Lie came here to investigate in the morning, only to see that the north gorge of the square was wide in the south, and it was on the road from the northeast fort to the council hall.

Then, Zhao Lie came to Alexandra's shop again and specially invited her to the square to distribute goods to the homeless beggars. Alexandra readily agreed, which she was happy to do.

When Zhao Lie was wearing a navy blue robe, a black square scarf, and thin-soled fast boots, and Alexandra wearing a black corset dress, a purple scarf and black boots, Zhao Lie felt a strong sense of disobedience in his heart, and kept complaining along the way, Nima, what era is this fashion show, the contrast is too strong, authentic Chinese men's clothing PK authentic Western-style women's clothing, the key is not to match.

At this time, there were still nearly 100 homeless people and beggars in the square, and a group of subordinates immediately began to distribute food, thick clothes and bedding.

Zhao Lie and Alexandra searched for the children among the refugees and distributed sweets and snacks to them, so that the displaced children could experience the brief happy time of the Chinese New Year.

"Last year, the Xijiang River was flooded, our land was flooded, and it really couldn't hold on in winter, and I heard that it was quite rich here, so I begged all the way over, and now it's just the two of us." In response to Alexandra's inquiry, the father tearfully replied as he looked at the toddler who was gobbling down a snack.

"What about the child's mother." Alexandra asked with tears in her eyes.

"I died a few days ago, and the two girls and their eldest son were sold, so they can be counted as having a way to live, and they don't have to suffer with us......" said the father, and he could not go on any longer, and his shriveled chest rose and fell, showing the grief of his master.

Alexandra covered her red lips with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

What kind of human tragedy is this, which makes parents sell all their children, if it is not for the fact that the toddler is too young and no one wants it, it will also be sold. Zhao Lie looked at the withered body of this man who was less than forty years old, and his slightly gray beard and hair seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind. silently put five taels of silver beside the man, pulled Alexandra and turned away, ignoring the man's gratitude and ignoring Alexandra's shyness.

Zhao Lie looked around, sad in his heart. This is how the people love and protect the old empire that thinks it is the center of the world, a country that even most of the people can't eat. Zhao Lie looked north at the Central Plains, the current drought in Shaanxi has occurred, a natural disaster that makes the Ming Dynasty lose a quarter of the population is coming, and a dark age that makes the land of China retreat to serfdom is coming. At that time, the tragedy in front of us will continue to play out in North China.

When Alexandra was just pulled up by Zhao Lie's slender jade hand, there was a kind of shame and anger at the time, but Zhao Lie's big hand that was almost spasmodic and gritted her teeth made her calm down immediately, without struggling, at this moment, she seemed to have walked into Zhao Lie's heart, although in the past twenty years, with the intensification of Spain's harvest of Portugal, farmers and businessmen have continued to go bankrupt, but compared with Da Ming, it is quite happy. Alexandra looked at Zhao Lie from the side and looked into the distance with tears in her eyes, and suddenly understood that he was sad for their people, and he was sad for a Portuguese man, how he should grieve as a Ming person.

Zhao Lie explained to his subordinates that until the Spring Festival, there would be food distribution every afternoon, and he returned with Alexandra, and after a while, there was a burst of cheers behind him, which was the joy of the homeless people when they heard the news, but this also made Zhao Lie feel guilty, after all, this time they were used. This made Zhao Lie no longer interested in walking with the United States. Accompanying Alexandra back to the store, Zhao Lie thanked her and hurried back to the dock.

Alexandra watched Zhao Lie go away at the door, feeling Zhao Lie's change, the enthusiasm and firmness in his eyes disappeared, and the sadness and confusion in his eyes were replaced. Alexandra was worried and sad for him, and at this time, she believed that Zhao Lie had rescued tens of thousands of people in her hometown. It wasn't until she rested at night that she suddenly realized that she had been worried about Zhao Lie all afternoon, which had never happened before.

The oil lamp in Zhao Lie's cabin was lit in the middle of the night, and the internal and external pressure made him sleepless, he thought about it for a long time, and could only say that there was great hope ahead, but there were many difficulties, and every step could not be wrong, so as to run in front of the peasant army and Jiannu.
