Chapter Forty-Seven: The Reception of Turmoil
"My lord, this is a distant relative of my family, from Songjiang in Daming, I want to settle down in Macao to do business, the villain takes this opportunity to introduce to the adult, I hope the adult will give more advice in the future." Luo Fatzi replied with a smile. Look at it, I came here and put a gold on the face of the Portuguese, tsk, talent, worth learning. Tang Xianwen watched from the sidelines, and was amazed by Lao Luo's performance, no, it was simply a mountain and a talent.
"Speaker, we are admiring this prosperous place, there are not many taxes, and there are many business opportunities, so we have come here to do business," Tang Xianwen glanced at him, and Huang Han opened a package and handed it over. "This is a hundred taels of gold, it is the villain's donation to the council, I hope you will accept it with a smile."
Alonzo looked at the golden gold ingot, and he was also distracted for a while, this is the largest donation received by the council, and it was donated by the Ming businessman who met for the first time, what does this mean, it shows that the means of encircling the Ming people have worked, very good, he glanced at Ma Jialu also, the meaning is obvious, look, this is the donation of the indigenous people you don't look down on.
"This gentleman is polite, Macau welcomes businessmen from all over the Ming Dynasty to do business here, so I am ashamed." Look, Alonzo's Chinese pronunciation is weird, but the meaning is obvious, welcome, much stronger than the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty. At least understand who the parents are.
Mascolu on the side is also envious, jealous and hateful, which shows that even the Ming people understand who has the final say in Macau, and they didn't see the donation to Alonzo, and he, the real governor of Macau, was once again left aside, yes, again, but this time it was the Daming aborigines he looked down on in the face in public, Mashulu was also black and purple by the spicy sun of Goa, his chest was suffocated, he couldn't breathe, he was too aggrieved.
Alonzo stretched out his hand to take the package and handed it to an entourage beside him, and as he turned around, Alonzo felt a chill on his neck, and a sharp knife stood on his neck, and the speaker stood there stiffly, not daring to move. The attendants shouted in surprise, and all the attention of the hall turned to this place, only to see a Ming man holding a sharp half-foot knife against Alonzo's neck, and another Ming man holding a knife and looking at others vigilantly. Mascolus was also dumbfounded with several councillors, and a lady shouted, Guards, Guards.
Mascoluya and Alonzo were shocked to find that these two Ming people did not mean to panic at all, they were both born in the army, and the hearts of the two who had experienced life and death sank, indicating that there must be people to answer, otherwise, these two people would not be so calm. At this time, the saddest thing was the fat man Luo who was gushing just now, I saw him open his big mouth, ah, ah non-stop, pointing at Tang Xianwen, but he couldn't say anything in his mouth, his expression was like seeing a ghost, Zhao Lie must praise it if he is here, and he can fight with the silent performance of later generations, full of joy. Luo Fatzi never dreamed that the two fat sheep he introduced were tyrannical beasts, and he was stunned at this time.
The speaker was controlled, and there were no weapons in the room, this was a dinner party, okay, after the guards picked it up, no one carried a weapon, and the Portuguese suddenly remembered that there was a dinner knife, and when he landed, several Portuguese people held a dinner knife and fork with the two of them, but well, the size of this knife and fork is really short, a little funny.
Eight guards at the door, heard an uproar in the hall, and someone shouted guards, and also understood that something was wrong, at this time dozens of meters away from the gate, waiting for the lord's hundreds of Ming servants, dozens of big men with waist knives rushed to kill them, the leader of the leader at that time understood that things could not be done, four of the eight people held arquebuses, this is just a guard of honor, at this time there is no time to play, ignition, now is the burning stick, the rest is the cross sword worn, well, four cross swords against dozens of single knives, Let's just say that the combat power of the natives is low, then there must be a spectrum, the leader asked two people to immediately go to the barracks to call for reinforcements, and he led people to retreat into the hall quickly, and there were changes in the hall, at this time the leader found that he was really a little messy rhythm in the wind, and finally he didn't escape from the battle, worthy of the speaker and the commander.
The hall was holding each other, and the governor of Mascolu also cleared his throat, wanting to ask the Ming people what they wanted, there was an uproar at the door, a few Portuguese fled in first, and then a few guards entered in embarrassment with narrow helmets, and then the footsteps outside were messy, and a large number of Ming people with steel knives rushed into the hall, and Tang Xianwen, who had been on guard, showed a victor's smile,
"Everyone, put down the big and small weapons in your hands, and those who violate them will be killed." Huang Han shouted fiercely.
Everyone looked at Ma Skaro, the speaker had been captured, of course everyone looked at the governor, Ma Skal Lu was also extremely unhappy, special, look at what I am doing at this time, let me take the lead in surrendering, I don't, I am the tablet, usually there is no me in my eyes, let me bear this charge at this time, don't think, but, look at the murderers with knives around them, uh, only silent, at this time Tang Xianwen immediately understood who this was, took a few steps forward, and pressed the knife against Ma Scalu's neck, "Lord Governor, what do you say." As soon as the knife in his hand strengthened, a trace of blood overflowed.
"Lay down your arms." As a Portuguese nobleman, it was acceptable to lay down his arms and surrender when there was no hope, otherwise, there would not have been no great resistance when the Spanish invaded, and Portugal would have fallen. However, this was the first order with real power issued as a governor, which was to surrender. It's maddening. What a shame within a shame. Mascolus was also heartbroken, and secretly made up his mind, the governor had to resign from anything, he was too aggrieved, and he really had no face to see people.
A few guards laid down their weapons, and a few Portuguese looked at the knives and forks in their hands, and threw them to the ground with twists.
At this point, the chamber was completely occupied. All the Portuguese were gathered together, Tang Xianwen led more than 30 people to escort Alonzo, Mascolu and a few councils to the square, and Huang Han led more than 20 people to stay in the council hall to watch over the remaining Portuguese and some Ming merchants.
When Zhao Lie saw the two guards fleeing in embarrassment with arquebuses in tow, passing through the square and running to the fort, he knew that something important had happened, and the council hall must have been controlled, otherwise the guards would not have fled in such a mess.
Alexandra watched suspiciously, as the two guards hurried towards the Fortress. Alexandra recognized the uniforms of the guards, the guards were so embarrassed, what a big deal was that, Alexandra and Marta whispered in Portuguese, both of them extremely confused.
Zhao Lie glanced at Yu Dabao, Yu Dabao made a code, and Zhao Lie saw the two big cars approaching the north. Weapons have been secretly distributed while the refugees are busy collecting food and distributing supplies.
Captain Felipe did not go to the council chamber today, since the last Dutch raid on Macau, the Portuguese army no longer dared to relax, today is the festival of the indigenous people of the Ming Dynasty, the fortress did not celebrate, and the 200 soldiers only improved their food. After lunch, the captain had just gotten up after a short lunch break, when the guards at the door and the two embarrassed council chamber guards brought the shocking news that the Ming armed forces had taken control of the council chamber, and that both the speaker and the governor had been captured.
Captain Felipe, who had been in battle for a long time, did not panic, and after asking if the enemy did not have muskets, he ordered one hundred and twenty infantry to assemble, and without having time to put on their armor, half with muskets and half with swords and shields, and set off immediately.
Felipe estimates that the enemy is still in the council chamber, using the building to control VIPs, extorting ransom, this is not a new thing, many such cases occur in the overseas territories of Portugal and Spain, but they are not very mature newly built territories, as Macau has been built and operated for many years, such a thing happened, it is still surprising, fortunately, it can still be solved, force and coercion, plus pay some ransom, Felipe believes that he can deal with this change.
On the way to the council chamber, Felipe ordered the soldiers to hurry up, and at the same time to be alert to the movements around them, if they were attacked by the natives in a hurry to save people, it would be a shame for the Portuguese officers and soldiers in Macau.
P.S. I'm sorry, there's something late for an update at home, so don't blame you.
