The next day, Zhao Lie inspected the refugee camp in Shidao and consulted with Wu Qunhaosheng. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now the refugee camp is empty again, all the Denglai refugees have been transported to Beihua, and now Wu Qun has ushered in the time of rest.

He and hundreds of refugee camp servants are now idle, and Wu Qun can't help but feel worried.

"Lord Zhao, since the refugees have all left, it is better to let me be an errand under Lord Zhao Meng, than to have nothing to do here."

Wu Qun complained that the days of watching the sea every day were a bit difficult.

"There's nothing to do, I'm afraid you'll be too busy to sleep." Zhao Lie shook his head, hehe, the refugees of the Ming Dynasty are simply everywhere, in the future, Wu Qun will be busy, and it is temporary, it is estimated that Wu Qun will be busy for ten or twenty years, of course, there is no need to say more now, there is no need to scare this old subordinate.

When Wu Qun heard this, he muttered in his heart again, after he complained last time, Lord Zhao Lie said something similar, and as a result, hundreds of thousands of Denglai refugees poured in, could it be that there was a big mess again.

It can be more than the homeless people who poured in everywhere during the Denglai rebellion, but you can say that Lord Zhao can't say it accurately, this Lord Zhao is simply a crow's mouth, as long as he says it, there must be.

Tsk, Wu Qun is also speechless about the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven and the princes of the court are doing their best to govern the Ming Dynasty like this, it is really diligent to a certain level, and the busier it is, the more chaotic it becomes.

Zhao Lie left the refugee camp and went to the Shidao Fleet to have a look, and now that the Wa Naval Division is gone, there is no need for the Jeju Naval Division to maintain too much capacity.

Now Li Hu is in Jeju, while Qi Wei has returned to Shidao, bringing with him ten Song-class warships and twenty Tang-class warships. and twenty patrol vessels. Since then. The Ishishima fleet will be the same strength as the Jeju fleet.

After all, in the future, the battle in the Daming Sea area must be fully cooperated by the naval division, and the boundary of Jeju is still far away from Denglai.

Of course, in order not to attract attention, most of the naval division stayed on the small and small mountain islands, which became a veritable military port.

Zhao Lie inspected the warships here and expressed his condolences to the soldiers of the naval division, after all, the place is small and cannot be said to be the same as Jeju. When the sailors first arrived, they must have been extremely uncomfortable, and he had to be appeased.

When Zhao Lie was discussing with Qi Wei how many merchant ships Shidao should belong to in order to transport the 20,000 captives to a distant place at one time, Shidao sent someone to make a flying clipping boat to report that someone from Macao had come, and it was the speaker of the Macao parliament, Alonzo, and his brother-in-law Francisco.

Macau Speaker Alonzo and Zhao Lie have known each other for many years and have cooperated happily, and this time they have reopened the Japanese route, and they don't know yet. Just tell you.

And my uncle Francisco probably came to visit relatives, since the birth of the child. He just came once, and he was usually busy escorting on the Macau-Manila route.

The two of them came together, especially the speaker Alonzo came, Zhao Lie estimated that it must be another big event, so Zhao Lie immediately returned to Shidao.

When Zhao Lie arrived at Shidao Port, he saw two Portuguese warships and merchant ships docked at the pier.

There were some bullet marks on both ships, and it was clear that the voyage from Macau was not too smooth.

Zhao Lie observed the dock, except for a few Portuguese who were talking to the soldiers of the Broken Army, the other Portuguese stayed on the ship.

More than 100 guards boarded the dock first, and when Zhao Lie boarded the dock, the general manager on duty stepped forward to salute.

"Have the Portuguese warships been checked?" Zhao Lie pointed to the location of the Portuguese sea ship.

"My lord, the two sea vessels have been boarded and inspected, and no problems have been found."

Mr. Bai replied with a military salute.

Zhao Lie nodded, expressing satisfaction, how did he attack Macau, that is, to capture the thief and capture the king, he didn't want to be brought by the Portuguese and the Spaniards once, even if the person who came was the Portuguese Speaker of Macau and his eldest brother, human nature was too complicated, what kind of deal did the Xiyi people have in the south, it was not impossible to betray Shidao behind his back.

Entering the official hall, Zhao Meng and Tang Xianwen were chatting with Alonzo and Francisco, and several of them were smiling, and it seemed that the atmosphere was good.

"Oh, my general, congratulations on defeating the diabolical Waren and retaking the trade routes for Macau."

As soon as Alonzo saw Zhao Lie, he immediately got up and stroked his chest with a smile on his face. The attitude of this respectfulness is not the same as seeing each other in the past.

Alonzo is also doing this for a reason, Zhao Lie now occupies Beihua and Jeju, and the Denglai power in the Ming Dynasty is also huge, how can a small nobleman grow into a king of one side, how can he not let Alonzo be respectful.

Yes, in Alonzo's opinion, the territory controlled by Zhao Lie is now much larger than that of Portugal, if Portugal has a king, why not Zhao Lie.

In particular, even the Japanese people, a barbaric and unreasonable people who were extremely disrespectful to God, were defeated by this young man in front of him, and were forced to open their harbors to the Portuguese and the Ming people, which made Alonzo extremely convinced.

The Japanese are not good opponents, as the Portuguese, who has been operating in Japan for 100 years, knows all too well.

Of course, Zhao Meng just told him that Zhao Lie had defeated the Japanese people and forced the Japanese general to open up trade routes, but he didn't say much, after all, his heart would be different if he wasn't of my race.

If Alonzo knew that Zhao Lie had killed tens of thousands of Japanese people in three battles and besieged Edo for months, he would not have known what he would have been surprised about.

Zhao Lie smiled and saluted Alonzo, of course, he just arched his hand.

Zhao Lie took a closer look at Alonzo, although Alonzo is now in his fifties, his black hair is still combed extremely neatly, and his complexion is also extremely ruddy, to say that compared to the last time they met, there are only more wrinkles on his face, and there is not much change in other aspects.

"Oh, Zhao, it's not easy for me to come once, you didn't bully my sister, if there is, I will still fight you in a duel."

Francisco smiled and hugged Zhao Lie, Zhao Meng and Tang Xianwen's faces twitched, and they really couldn't accept the hug between men.

They didn't know that Zhao Lie was really a little weak-hearted, because he married Li Lin as a side room, wasn't it, to be honest, this is nothing in this era. But. Zhao Lie came from the afterlife. It's still a little shadowy in my heart.

Zhao Lie asked the two to sit down, and he sat in the main seat behind the case.

"Mr. Alonzo came from Macau, and the journey was safe." Zhao Lie asked knowingly.

At the mention of this, Alonzo's face immediately deepened, and he shook his head, his expression extremely painful,

"Oh God. These pagans now had a foothold in Formosa, not only built several castles, but also collected taxes from the Han and the natives there, and above all, their fleet used it as a base to patrol the Formosa Strait every day, so that our Portuguese ships could not pass through it without an escort. ”

Speaking of this, Alonzo's face flushed, and he was extremely excited,

Although this time thanks to the general's merits, the sea route from Macao to the Japanese Kingdom was opened. But I am afraid that in the future, two or three escort ships will not be safe, and now the Dutch of Formosa have more than ten warships. This time, if it weren't for the fact that our two ships were new, and the speed was faster, we wouldn't have been able to pass Formosa. ”

Alonzo held his chest in fear, and at first he felt quite palpitations.

Zhao Lie looked at Francisco, only to see that Francisco also nodded solemnly, it seems that the speaker did not deceive Zhao Lie himself.

If the Dutch people in Xiaoliuqiu had more than ten warships gathered, it would indeed cause great trouble to the route from Macao to the Japanese Kingdom.

However, Zhao Lie, a Dutch native of Xiaoliuqiu, planned to settle it in the end, after all, now the affairs of the Ming Dynasty involved almost all of his energy, and he really didn't want to open up a second battlefield.

Just as he was thinking about how to get rid of Alonzo, Alonzo's following words changed his mind.

"This time, we set out from Macao and ventured through Formosa to meet the general, and I have not very good news to tell you."

Alonzo said with a little exaggeration, this is also a half-truth, after all, there is a certain danger in crossing Formosa, and the purpose of his saying this is obvious, Zhao Lie, you have to receive my love.

"A fleet sent by King Charles came to Goa, and the purpose of King Charles sent them was to open up the trade routes of the Far East, especially the trade routes of the Ming Dynasty, because they learned on the way that the Ming Dynasty was not open to trade, but only traded with the Portuguese in Macao, so they began to lobby the Portuguese, Spaniards and Dutch people in the colonies along the way to organize a fleet together, intending to open the door of the Ming Dynasty with cannons."

Alonzo spoke very quickly, and the speed of the translation he brought was not slow, and he spoke all these words in one go.

Zhao Lie's eyes widened in surprise, he had never heard of this in his later life, what was this, this was the failure of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Zhao Lie looked at Francisco again, and the Portuguese, who had always been a little smiling, also nodded with a rare solemnity.

"They have successfully lobbied the Portuguese in Goa and Ceylon, seven ships have joined their fleet, and now they are resting in Malacca, and the next step is to lobby the Dutch in Jakarta and the Spaniards in Manila."

After Alonzo finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Lie seriously.

"I don't know how the speaker knows in such detail." Zhao Lie asked puzzled.

Zhao Lie is really skeptical about this, believe it, he really hasn't heard of it in history, he really doesn't have any impression at all, it is said that such a big thing will not go unrecorded.

Believe it or not, look at Alonzo and Francisco's appearances.

In fact, Zhao Lie really didn't know that there was really such a fleet in history, and King Charles I appointed Weddell to lead a fleet of six ships to Daming after more than a year of sailing.

This fleet entered the Indian Ocean through the Cape of Good Hope, successively reached Goa, Ceylon, Malacca, and arrived in Macao, and invaded Guangzhou, and harassed the people near Guangzhou, and put on the face of robbers, extorting money and grain from the local government of Guangzhou.

It's a pity that the vastness and huge size of the Ming Dynasty is not something they can imagine, and the stubbornness of the Ming government is not something they can change.

In the end, they turned to the Portuguese for help, which was even more impossible, the Portuguese were the only Xiyi people who were allowed to trade with the Ming at that time, how could they hand over the monopoly of the trade route to others, so Weddell left disappointed. (To be continued.) )
