The reception of the fleet and the batteries was very smooth, the Macao fleet had no reserves of supplies on board, the personnel on the ships could not sail far, and there was no reserve of gunpowder, coupled with the admonition of Alonzo and others who were escorted to the docks, these sailors had no choice but to surrender, after all, many of the sailors' relatives were in the city of Macao, as for the forts, only the gunners were left, and there were almost no infantry, so they could not fire at Macao, you must know that there were thousands of Portuguese in Macao, including the governor and the speaker of the council, and their salaries and silver were issued by the council. After learning of Alonzo's order to surrender, several batteries surrendered, and the Portuguese army in Macao was disarmed.

Zhao Lie sent a receiver, Zhang Gusheng led people to the shipyard to receive the new ship launched, Qi Wei took people to the cannon foundry to receive the cast cannons and personnel, Zhao Lie's original words, it is indispensable to have one person. Li Hu arrived at the central fort, took command of the barracks, and imprisoned the governor, the speaker, the councillor, and all the Portuguese personnel gathered here. Huang Han went to receive the three warships of the Portuguese army. Tang Xianwen was responsible for receiving the treasury of Macao and counting the materials from various places.

Zhao Lie's request was to end everything within five days, load the ship and leave. There are many dreams at night.

Zhao Lie had to deal with the most troublesome thing, and an angry young lady in a certain shop was waiting for him to go and appease him. Such a kind-hearted, beautiful and innocent girl, he will not give up no matter what.

Zhao Lie took Yu Dabao and thirty guards to the shop, and when he came to the shop, he saw that the door was closed and there was no business.

Yu Dabao knocked on the door like a drum, and the door was opened by a tall and thin Portuguese old man, a short middle-aged man, and two Ming servants. It seems that his own seizure of Macau has given the market a great sense of insecurity. Along the way, the shops are closed, the people are sparse, and the only constant is the homeless beggars along the street. Alexandra is also a great enemy here.

"Inform your young lady, just say that Zhao Lie wants to see you." Zhao Lie walked according to the courtesy, joking, at this time, you must not anger this aunt.

The old man looked at Zhao Lie and entered the back house in silence, and after a while, Alexandra walked in accompanied by Marta.

Marta had a serious expression and sharp eyes, looking directly at Zhao Lie.

Alexandra's eyes were slightly swollen, and her blue eyes looked at Zhao Lie resentfully.

"Why, you came to my house today to rob me." Alexandra bit her lips.

"Miss Alexandra, I'm sorry for what happened in Macau." Zhao Lie noticed that Alexandra heard him apologize, and her face was slightly better.

"Listen to me, I am from the north of the Ming Dynasty, the barbarians in the north are attacking our north, they have killed millions of us, and they have savagely robbed us of millions of acres of land that we have pioneered for hundreds of years, and the number of homeless beggars you have seen in my hometown in the past few days is a thousand times or ten thousand times that of this. Yes, I'm not exaggerating. Zhao Lie saw Alexandra and Marta's dumbfounded appearance, and expressed satisfaction in his heart. Then add the material. "My hometown is just a strait away from the barbarian occupation, two days by boat. While I do my best to help the refugees, I also have to prepare myself for war, otherwise my hometown will fall and we will either die in battle or become slaves with nothing. ”

"That's not an excuse for you to rob this place." Marta is not an innocent girl, she has a lot of experience, and the meaning is very clear, we are not so easy to deceive. made Zhao Lie's teeth itch with hatred, and said in his heart, can you die if you say a word, you know how to add oil and vinegar, but Marta is a person close to Alexandra at a glance, and Zhao Lie is not brain-dead to the point of arguing in public.

"Yes, we were forced to come here, because we once wanted to bring in gunsmiths and shipbuilders from Macao, but we are a war zone, no one wants to go, and you Portuguese will not allow them to leave Macao for exclusive interests, but to resist hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, the amount of money consumed is innumerable, I have to order hundreds of artillery, a hundred warships, I don't have so much money to support, so I made this decision. I hope Miss will understand. Zhao Lie's attitude was sincere, his tone was steady, his eyes were firm, he looked genuine, and his eyes were even slightly red and filled with tears. It's not all foolishness, most of it is a fact, of course, Jiannu's cross-sea attack will be exempted, there is no hope for Jiannu to attack across the sea within ten years, and Jiannu doesn't pay attention to the sailor at all.

Alexandra also heard that the newly rising barbarians in the north of the Ming Dynasty were invading the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was defeated, but she didn't expect it to be such a crisis moment. Out of the image that Zhao Lie has established in the past few days, as well as the sincere performance with tears in his eyes now, Alexandra nodded slightly, and her face was slightly better. Zhao Lie's heart calmed down, there was a door.

"Yes, we are very sympathetic to what has happened to you, but that is not an excuse for you to rob the Portuguese, may God forgive you for your sins." Marta interjected at an inopportune moment.

Zhao Lie immediately smoked, okay, as soon as I extinguished the fire, you added fuel to the fire.

"First of all, I have ordered the release of all Portuguese merchants, Ming merchants, and now only the governor, the speaker, and the soldiers are being seized." Zhao Lie's tone was a little tough, "Secondly, I have reached a consensus with the Governor and the Speaker that we will not extort ordinary merchants and residents this time, we need artillery, sea ships, and corresponding craftsmen when we come here, and we will not infringe on other personal property." Alexandra looked up and nodded in agreement. Finally, Miss Marta, I would like to ask, did it the Persians, the Indians, the Malaca, the Ming, and the Brazilians invite you Portuguese, or did it also God's will that you plundered other people's lands and wealth with guns, built cities and garrisons on other lands, and even plundered the natives as slaves? ”

Marta's face was flushed at that time, yes, you can shout God's slogan, but Portugal knows what is going on in the overseas territories, everyone is envious and jealous of the wealth plundered by the overseas territories, of course, all this has to be dressed in the legal cloak of secular religion, but you can shout to the local ignorant natives that we are here to change your ignorance and spread the gospel of the Lord, but for people like Zhao Lie who are familiar with Western Europe, it is still forgiven, and in the past few days, the master and servant have seen Zhao Lie's familiarity with European customs and customs, So don't continue to shout those false slogans, so as not to bring shame on yourself.

"That's what those barbaric soldiers did, and it has nothing to do with the Holy See." Marta muttered quietly, unreservedly.

Zhao Lie didn't refute it again, she didn't believe it herself.

"Miss Alexandra, I am forced to do this time, Macau will not hand over the skills and craftsmen to me, and the Dutch will attack us, let alone trade with me. What I have gained is the technology of shipbuilding and cannon casting, while Macao has lost only some cannon and shipbuilding craftsmen and a few cannons and a few ships, but you may get a foreign aid. Let's not forget that the Dutch invaded Macau a few years ago, and they also invaded Fujian of the Ming Dynasty, and he is our common enemy. If they invade Macau, they will not leave you a single silver coin. Zhao Lie continued to add.

Alexandra was finally moved, she didn't care about Portugal, but she cared about her loved ones. "Then what do you need me to do?"

"I need you to go to the north to fight with me, to be the intermediary between me and you Portuguese, and you can also see the tragedy in the north of the Ming Dynasty with your own eyes, and see if I am exaggerating." Zhao Lie finally said the purpose.

"Maybe you're a liar." Marta said with a grunt.

"Do I need it, do I need it now?" Zhao Lie looked at Marta with a smile.

Yes, he doesn't need it, he can take me by force. Alexandra stopped Marta's gibberish.

"Why me, I'm just a nineteen-year-old Portuguese woman." Alexandra looked at Zhao Lie fixedly, as if she could see all his thoughts.

"Because I need Macau and Portugal, but I only trust you in the people here, you don't discriminate against the Ming people, and discrimination against the Ming people is extremely common among you Portuguese, and you are full of love, I said, we have a million refugees, I hope you can help me help them help." Zhao Lie replied honestly.

"You have quite a few men." Alexandra asked with a smile. He's complimenting me.

"They may be okay to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but they are too far behind in helping refugees, and besides, I need to learn from your system, to be honest, your system is still very valuable, in this regard, they are ignorant."

"Well, I'll think about it and I'll answer you tomorrow." Alexandra got up to see off the guest.

Zhao Lie didn't entangle, today's progress has satisfied him, and it's too much.
