According to the current Dzungar Khan's intentions, he did not want the Qing court to have conflicts, because the center of gravity of the Western Zhunger Empire under his control was in the northern and southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and the vast Central Asian steppes such as Andijan, Kokand, Bukhara, and Samarkand further west, as for Gansu under the rule of the Qing court and the Khalkha Mongol region attached to the Qing court, although it was claimed to be the source of the Mongols, but since his uncle Galdan Boshoketu Khan, who had a higher heart than the sky, wanted to hold it in his hands, it was better to leave it to him.

In his opinion, the Qing court after losing the wealth of China itself (Jiangnan) has become like a toothless tiger, although it is still terrifying on the outside, but its strength is no longer enough to drive away the wolves.

Of course, there is another option for Arabutan to accept the worship of the Qing court and join forces with him to deal with his uncle. However, although there was an endless stream of envoys from the Qing court to communicate, compared with the envoys sent by the Potala Palace, no matter the time and place, they were not on the side of the Qing court, not to mention that this anti-Qing war was not only the concerted action of the two Jungger people, but even the Heshute tribe based in Qinghai also participated, which can be called a great alliance of the Oirat Mongol tribes.

Since it is a big alliance, it is natural to have an alliance leader. Needless to say, the Zashbatu Khan of Qinghai, although the Heshute Department has always had the blood of the golden family, but its strength is not as good as others, and the Khan King, who once served as a puppet of the Dzungar people, is naturally not qualified to win this position. But Galdan Boshoktu Khan is not only his uncle by blood, but also a high-ranking Eastern Dzungar Great Khan, so when the Fifth Dalai Lama and Dipa Sangyel Gyatso cannot be present in person, how should the seats between the two people who have a lot of old grudges be arranged?

Fortunately, Arabutan was an absolutely excellent politician and knew how to take care of the faces of both sides, so he only sent his nephew Dace Lingdun Dobu to participate in the alliance in Qinghai, so that the result of the alliance would not be a speculation of Alabutan - Galdan's troops were the main force and only attacked Khalkha Mongolia and Monan Mongolia, and the West Junggar people and Heshute people together showed their flags to Anxi, Suzhou and other Hexi corridor areas and the adjacent Alxa Erlut banners.

According to the agreement at the time of the alliance, the three parties would move east at the end of the year and the spring of the following year, respectively, but Zashbatu Khan, who was bent on restoring the glory of the FΓΉ and Shuote tribes, could not contain his ambitions, and as soon as the alliance ended, he rushed ahead of the Western Junggar people from the east, and even before the Kaldan to sweep away the Tao River.

"What a fool." Arabutan, who got the news, commented on the ambitious and talented Zashbatu Khan, and at the same time ordered the indignant Daston Tun Dob beside him. "Don't care about this guy who is in a hurry to return to the Immortal Heaven, I'll give you six thousand people, go and sharpen the knife, and when you survive the winter, you take them all the way east to graze"

"Close the door." The Governor of Macau, Colonel Gi1vaz1obofreire, struggled to squeeze out of the crowd of agitated councilors, and then fled into the Governor's Palace, where he had to order the guards to block the door in order to prevent the mob of parliamentarians from storming the Governor's Palace. "My God, how are you going to live this day?"

"Your Excellency the Governor, it's time to make a decision." The commander of the defense, Major Magalis, did not seem to see the wolf appearance of the Governor, but urged in a stern tone. "If we continue to resist, I think not only the parliamentarians and citizens will riot, but even the army will lose control."

"Major, when have the soldiers of the kingdom been as incorruptible and shameless as the Germanic mercenaries."

In response to Colonel Fiela's accusation, Major Magalis shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly: "Your Excellency the Governor, now that we live in a city where we can't even guarantee daily drinking water, you can't expect the army to continue to obey your command?" ”

Being held up by the major like this, a look of pain appeared on Fei Yila's face that was red by the tropical sun: "No, I can't agree, this involves the last interests of the Kingdom of Portugal in the East, and it also involves the glory of the king's ** team." ”

"No, you can only say yes." Magalis replied with a cold expression. "After all, the council has agreed to return the rule of the Chinese, and in order not to hinder the right of Portuguese merchants to continue doing business in China, you must order the withdrawal of troops in Macao and the transfer of military installations, otherwise"

The major didn't continue, but Fei Yila understood the subtext of the other party, and he yelled in shame: "Otherwise, I am the governor of the Kingdom of Portugal in Macau, I am the colonel of the royal team, and my power comes from His Majesty King Pedro II and the Indo-Portuguese vice-king of Goa, you can't"

"Your Excellency the Governor is wrong, your power comes from the Council." An abrupt voice rang out, and Fei Yila turned his head to look, only to see that the closed door of the Doge's Palace had been reopened, and several big businessmen and priests slowly walked in. "Your Excellency the Governor, Goa has long since approved the agreement of the Council when it first appointed the two Governors of Francesco 1opesnetnetha, that the Governor of Macau was only responsible for the defence of Macau, and had no right to reject the bill of the Council."

"Council, is there still a council?" Fei Yila sneered. "Haven't you already disbanded yourself?"

"If Macao is not handed over for a day, the council will continue to be held for one day." Another commentator from a big businessman said. "Your Excellency the Governor, please recognize the reality, even if the navy has the strength to break through the naval blockade of Dongning and bring back reinforcements from Goa, Portugal does not have the strength to fight with the Zheng family in the China Sea, yes, even if we gather all the warships and armed merchant ships in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, we will not be able to achieve victory in 6 places, right? Otherwise, why would we have to pay 500 taels of silver every year for the land rent and multiple bribes to the Chinese magistrate's office? ”

"Yes, Lord Governor, please be aware of the fact that the Portuguese have come to China for porcelain, tea, and silk, not for personal prowess." The third commentator said the same. "Now that the administration and garrison of Macao have been restored, the Tung Ninh regime still guarantees the Portuguese merchants the right to live and trade legally, and what more could we ask for in this regard."

"The king of Dongning, who was canonized as the regent of the entire Ming Kingdom because of his successful entry into Jiangning City, is said to have prepared to expel the priests of Macao, but he was blocked by his ministers, and if Macao is not handed over at this time, it may not be that the regent will not change his mind." After the merchants took turns to play, the Catholic Church in Macau also stepped in to put pressure on them. "At that time, the whole diocese of China will fall under the control of Manila, and this is not what Lisbon and Rome want to see."

Although these words were all heard by Fei Yila in the council, the weight of the words that came out of the mouth of this great man was very different, so Fei Yila said with difficulty: "For the sake of the kingdom, I do not want to be the last governor of Macao, so I resign and ask the council to choose another Magi." ”

The people present couldn't help but be stunned, if there was no governor, how could the problem of the garrison be solved? At this time, several people present looked at the defense commander Major Magalis on the side at the same time, but although the major also participated in the forced palace, he did not want to be the one who ended the glory of Portugal, so he also shook his head and declined.

"Since His Excellency the Governor has announced his resignation, there is no one in the royal team who can take over His Excellency the Governor." The people in charge of the council present immediately exchanged words and then made a decision. "Then for the time being, there will be a council to replace the governor and be responsible for the defense of Macau, and what is the opinion of the army?"

As the commander of 80 Portuguese 6th Army soldiers, 220 militia recruited on the spot, and the commander of two eighteen-gun notification ships, Major Magalis, of course, did not have any opinion on this, speaking of which he was the most afraid of direct conflict with Zheng's army, because he knew that once the battle officially began, even if he could resist for a while with the strong Macao fort, the final result would be a complete defeat, and as a loser, he did not know what kind of situation would await him.

"Since there is no opinion on the part of the army, then immediately send an envoy to the Ming people." The Portuguese of Macao, who had been starved of food and water due to the month-and-a-half-long blockade, had long been unable to bear it, and for this reason, the first task of this hastily established maintenance committee was to end itself. "By the way, please do their best to restore the supply."

The councillors and priests turned around and left the governor's palace, but the former governor, who had lost power at this time, stopped Magalis, who was about to turn away: "Major, I am not a governor now, but a soldier of the kingdom, I ask you that you must not hand over Macao to those Ming people in its entirety. ”

"God, save this poor man," Magalis prayed, and then looked at Fiela with a headache. "Colonel, what do you want to do? Don't you know that the Ming people have clearly stated that they will take over the forts and military ports of Macao in their entirety, and that in the future they will even establish a military garrison in Macao and send thousands of troops to guard it, in this case do you think I will destroy the buildings according to your request? No, this is impossible, I can't provoke the Ming people and punish the Portuguese in Macau. So, Colonel, you must be too hot and hallucinating, and you should find a place to rest, believing that when our envoys arrive, a watermill will soon bring clean water to quench your thirst and troubles. ”

"Bastard, traitor, back to Ah Zhen, I must accuse you of treason to the military court."

"Whatever you want." Magalis decided not to pay attention to the somewhat deranged former governor. "By the way, there is some rum in the wine store, you can quench your thirst before the water is delivered, you must know that a governor dies of thirst in the governor's palace, even if he returns to the country, it will be a terrible scandal."

"Damn it"
