Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Xiangshan Zhixian is very bitter in this poor mountain place, except for this group of Portuguese people from time to time to pay homage to one or two, there is no more entry, this is a short hand to take other people's money.

The inexplicable governor sent a large number of soldiers over, although he was short-mouthed and short-handed, but he did not dare not do it, he put on a proud appearance on his side, but on the one hand, he was worried that the two sides would fight.

Seeing that this Westerner Baihu was so well-versed in affairs, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and nodded immediately and said, "Well, according to the rules, it should be like this." ”

The guerrilla standing behind him didn't look at the county and any foreigners, but just turned around and said loudly: "Mr. Qian led the team, divided the general work, divided each of them, and carefully screened according to Lord Chen's orders, but I heard them clearly!?" "Subordinates understand!!"

Hearing the resounding answer of the generals below, the guerrilla nodded, waved his hand forward, and the soldiers of the first battalion began to march towards the front.

The smile on the face of the Lieutenant Colonel Swazi was so kind that he waved off his helmet as a greeting every time the battalion passed.

A group of soldiers drove in, and when the soldiers of the brigade were finished, and the generals and officials of the Ming Kingdom were about to enter, Lieutenant Colonel Swazi was ready to follow, maybe the other party needed a guide or something.

Unexpectedly, the last two battalions of the Ming army did not march in the direction of Macao, but directly surrounded the 200 Portuguese soldiers on the side of the road.

The Swazi was shocked, and subconsciously stretched his hand towards the hilt of the sword, and before he could move, the personal soldier beside the guerrilla had already pounced, and directly fell to the ground, putting down his weapon.

Originally, those Portuguese soldiers stood on the side of the road with their weapons held high, and took out the kind of regular appearance that greeted the big man, but they didn't expect that suddenly the Ming soldiers' knives and guns had been aimed at the vital parts of their homes, and when they were panicking, they saw that the lieutenant colonel over there had been pressed to the ground.

Everyone was very neat and did not resist, dropped their weapons according to the other party's requirements, and was honestly tied up, coming to the East to ask for money, not to give their lives, not to mention fighting with an enemy with absolute superiority. The only one shouting was the Lieutenant Colonel Swazi, who was there with his throat pulling: "On behalf of the Imperial Government of Portugal, I make the most serious protest against the Ming Government, I want to protest, this is a violation of sovereignty, this is an insult to the Portuguese royal family......"

The voice shouted loudly, but the body didn't dare to move, just there honestly, hearing the words of the interpreter, the guerrilla said disdainfully: "Chasing this is the place of Daming, it is enough to have officials and soldiers to guard it, what are you doing with knives and guns, follow it honestly!"

As soon as Nazhi County saw such a scene, how dare he be lucky, and he snorted coldly there:

"A small country, what kind of empire do you dare to call it, you are smiling and generous."

After calling for a while, Swazi and his soldiers were escorted into Macao with a disgraced face, but since Swazi had the highest official position, he was given some decent treatment, and he was honestly watched by the soldiers and walked forward.

Watching the marches of Ming troops enter, there was little reaction from the chambers of commerce and churches in Macau, which were supposed to have the tallest buildings in these two places, and the towers above could ring the bell to warn the whole city when the enemy invaded.

But they all knew that it was the Ming army that came to search for pirates, and it was too late to run, so in order to avoid any blows, the two families coincidentally chose to settle down. "Don't panic, the officers and soldiers of Guangdong came here to search for pirates, and they did not disturb the people and civilians, everything is as usual, everything is as usual."

Macao is too small, and the area where they live is not big, so many soldiers rushed in, how could everything be as usual, it was impossible to close the door and close the door, so they could only resign themselves to fate, fortunately, these soldiers were rude and rude, but the military discipline was still strict, and they did not steal and rob.

Swazi followed behind in fear, Macau is a seaport, and it is rare that the Ming State is not very managed seaport, the Han people in Nanyang, whites and even wealthy merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang have come here to do business, and there are quite a few people with unclean backgrounds.

As the sheriff here in Macau, Swazi naturally knows that there are a lot of pirates and pirates, and the sources of goods are also varied, but his wealth comes from these people, so he naturally turns a blind eye.

However, this vigorous Ming army is talking about the investigation of pirates, and the Swazi is just worried, where these unclean people are located are nothing more than two places, one is the Chamber of Commerce, the other is the inn, the time is too rushed, I don't know if I can run away.

If these men could get on the boat and sail out of the port, then all would be fine, and as they walked down the street, they saw him following dejectedly, and did not know what had happened, and thought that he had accompanied the search.

The entourage who had just been driven out by him to ventilate the news cautiously came up, and the soldiers looked at the guerrillas on horseback in front of them, and when they saw their superiors looking around boredly, they did not step forward to stop them.

Seeing the attendant whispering a few words in the ear of this Swazi, Swazi's face suddenly turned pale, and he stood for a while, and was about to run to the guerrilla and the magistrate, but was immediately stopped by the guerrilla's own soldiers, and the Swazi shouted loudly: "Two adults, please believe me, I have just been here in Macao for less than a year, I don't know anything, maybe I have been deceived......

The people in front of him didn't pay attention to him at all, and still continued to move forward, and at this time there were already whispered discussions on the street, saying that the ships in the harbor were all restrained, and they didn't dare to go to sea at all, and the outside of the port was blocked by nearly a hundred Ming warships, and it was impossible to enter and exit at all.

From the time the Ming army entered Macao, the guides in front were not local foreigners, two laborers, one merchant, and even two beggars on the street, who saw that those respectful Portuguese were secretly frightened.

Swazi defended a few words loudly there, but he felt strange, what church, what chamber of commerce, the Ming army did not enter at all, passing by a small workshop for repairing weapons and armor, he immediately sent people to rush in to search, and after a while, he drove a group of people out of it.

Even the small barracks of the garrison did not pay attention, there were only a dozen people left inside, and the Ming army just sent some people in to take a look, and then continued to march.

After following this for a while, Swazi and the foreigners who followed him did see some doorways, and the Ming army gathered all the workshops and craftsmen in Macao.

The workshops for the manufacture of weapons and armor, as well as the workshops for repairs, were swept away, and even the soldiers began to carry the contents inside.

In addition to normal business in Asia, Portugal also had several colonies of small size, such as Goa in India, Manraka in the South Seas, and Macau, whose name has not yet been determined.

These colonies were ports, and in addition to serving as trading ports, they also served as transit points for Portuguese merchant ships, caravanserais, and colonists all over the world.

Therefore, in such places, there are shipwrights who know how to overhaul and manufacture ships, craftsmen who make weapons and armor, and there are craftsmen of various types related to military affairs and navigation.

But they were all driven out of their residences and shops by the Ming army, and through loud orders from the interpreter, they were told to pack up their soft and tools, and if there was anything heavy, the soldiers would even take the initiative to go up to help.

"Honorable lords, they are just the most ordinary craftsmen, not pirates or wicked people, please don't embarrass them."

Seeing this situation, the Portuguese officials accompanying him could not look down, and had the audacity to suggest there, that the guerrilla riding on the horse did not answer at all, but the county commander said in a righteous and stern manner:

"In this remote place, the sea people are mixed with treachery and evil, how do you know that this weapon is not for the Wa Guan, how do you know that this ship is not a pirate ship!?"

This question is indeed dumb, but if someone kills someone with a kitchen knife, he can't go to those who sell knives, but the soldier in front of him is holding a weapon and looking at each other coldly, so what is the reason.

Don't touch the civilians, don't magnetize the merchants, just attack the craftsmen and workshops, but that is, drive them out, the market in Macao is a little chaotic, but it has not lost order, but many Han and foreigners walk and stand there to watch the excitement.

All the way to the sea, the only thing that was different was in a rather dilapidated grain smith's shop, and several soldiers politely invited a blacksmith from it.

This blacksmith is not the best craftsman in Macau, he is just making some simple weapons, and his business is very average, but he is a warm-hearted person, although he is Portuguese, whether Han Chinese or Portuguese are in difficulty, he will be enthusiastic to help, and the reputation is good.

If he was forced, it might arouse public anger, but he didn't expect the Ming army to be so polite, so that everyone felt quite strange, not to mention the crowd of onlookers, and the blacksmith was also full of ignorance and confusion.

Walking to the beach, Swazi and all the Portuguese were stunned to see the scene in the harbor, whether it was a Western ship or a Ming ship, they all dropped their sails there, and they couldn't be more honest.

Swazi never understood that there were at least three ships in this port that were very strong, and these ships had thirty to forty guns, and the warships of the Ming Kingdom were not opponents at all, so these ships could not stay in the port honestly, and they had already been informed to leave.

When I walked to the pier, I could see that on both sides of the hull of each boat, there were several small boats close together, the small boats were full of firewood and grass, and several Ming soldiers stood on the boat with torches.

On the deck of each ship, you can also see Ming soldiers holding weapons, farther away from the port, the dense fleet of ships blocked the port tightly, and on the mast of one of the largest ships, there is a big flag floating, and the word "Chen" is written on the flag.
