vs 513 Friendly Ming people
Lord Shira-naka is powerful, and so is Lord Shira-na's fleet. But above Lord Bai Minghe, there is a more noble Emperor Ming, and the Ming Emperor's Imperial Guard Navy called the Ming Dynasty must be stronger than this fleet.
Of course, there is another fleet, that is, the Daming South China Sea Fleet, the powerful sailor of His Royal Highness the Dragon King of the South China Sea, will not be worse than this fleet, it is estimated that it is a force of comparable strength. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has at least three, or even four, such powerful fleets, and a small country dares to be a natural sea hegemon.
Ridiculous!
The concept that the Ming Dynasty is very powerful is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Japanese people. They believed that by following the powerful Daming, their family would also become stronger, after all, the Ming Dynasty's overseas territories needed managers.
The stick was lifted high and fell heavily.
The captain who claimed Portugal the overlord of the seas had his legs broken, and Oda Nagakatsu said in a very unskilled Portugal: "Captain of the overlord of the sea, remember to kneel when you see His Royal Highness. ”
The clergy is a positive teaching material, and his movements are very good, at least Oda Nagakatsu is proud of his achievements.
Finally, the men were invited into the house.
There was a cross around the neck of the white crane, and although it was small, it was definitely a cross. This discovery made the Portuguese ecstatic, could it be that this white man was a believer in the Lord?
But suddenly, they saw Bai Minghe holding a string of beads in his left hand, could it be a Buddhist believer.
Whoever dares to talk nonsense before kneeling will definitely break his leg. The white crane silently accepted the kneeling of these people, even if the captive was here, he would not be abused, this is the etiquette of the Heavenly Empire. There are seats, and there are also refreshments.
"Do you admit that your ship attacked my men?" Shira-naka spoke up.
The governor here is helpless. He already knew all the facts, and the attack was real. But who would have thought that the other party's few small boats were followed by countless big boats, and the feeling in his heart was like encountering fishing law enforcement, which was a trap. But Bai Minghe asked, and he couldn't help but answer.
"Your Royal Highness......" the Governor spoke, and the Da Ming civil servant, who was sitting next to him and was in charge of the record, immediately spoke: "Please pay attention to the words. It's Your Majesty, not Your Highness! ”
"Your Majesty!" It is not clear whether it is the Viceroy of Portugal or not, but it is not his who dares to claim that His Majesty is in trouble: "According to the mandate given to us by His Majesty the Pope to Portugal, this sea belongs to us Portugal and belongs to the Lord." Anyone who approaches without our Portuguese consent is an infringement! ”
Bai Minghe smiled slightly, but did not react.
A few guards standing here forced a smile, saying that there were many arrogant people, but it was really rare to be so arrogant when someone broke their legs. Maybe their inner world is really full of pride.
"Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?" The Portuguese Governor in the Port of Durban spoke cautiously.
"Ask!" Bai Minghe spoke Chinese, and Pedru translated with trepidation.
"Do you believe in the Lord or do you believe in Buddha?" The governor asked his inner question. This question surprised everyone, what is it?
"I don't believe it!" Bai Minghe replied very calmly, this guy obviously wants to have a relationship.
"But you wear a token of the Lord, and you also have Buddhist prayer beads on your hands." The Governor's voice couldn't help but raise a little.
Bai Minghe shook his head: "You are really ignorant, there are many uses of beads. There are also those in your religion that use beads, and there are also those in Orthodoxy. Of course what I know is. The use of beads is the most derived from the alchemy of beads in my Daomen. I don't know much about other teaching beads, and there is no legal restriction on this, so I don't allow that teaching to use it. ”
The string of white cranes is a good thing, a string of high-quality clams beads.
After that, Bai Minghe pointed to the one around his neck: "This is a gift." A friendly gift. ”
Without looking closely, it is absolutely impossible to see the difference between the Orthodox and Protestant crosses, and it is impossible to give him the opportunity to look closely. When he heard the friendliness, the governor was about to speak. Bai Minghe's tone changed: "Order, fleet diversion." Move forward in turn in a round-robin manner. All the way to Gran Canaria, the battle to free the black slaves! ”
"My lord, the implementation standard?" The herald stepped forward.
"It's good to follow here, remember who was a nobleman, who was a commoner, who was a slave. This decision is in the hands of Da Ming, if anyone is not convinced, you know? ”
The guard gave a Ming military salute and was about to retreat to give the order. But I saw Pedru pounce on him and hug his legs, while begging Bai Minghe: "Honorable lord, you can't." ”
"What can't I do?" Bai Minghe asked rhetorically.
"You can't attack our Portuguese ports, in which we Portugal have invested countless riches. The Mediterranean is occupied by the Ottomans, and they are your enemies. We Portugal are not, I beg you. "Pedru is going crazy, once the order of the white crane spreads, there will be no more Portuguese foothold on the entire African coast.
He knows more than the stupid governor here.
"Major Pedro, what's going on?" The stupid governor asked. Pedru shouted: "This lord ordered, attack all the ports of Africa, all of them. Fight all the way to Gran Canaria! ”
"Impossible, our mighty Portuguese navy will not allow it......"
"Stupid, how many ships do we have in Portugal. This noble lord has super warships, and his fleet has three thousand huge ships, and countless small ships. On the sea of the whole world, he is the real overlord......"
Fake, 3,000 giant ships, is there so many giant ships in the entire Mediterranean?
"The Pope is ......," the stupid governor said again.
Bai Minghe stood up: "I tell you very strictly, the Pope wants his family to perish. His behavior made me very unhappy, it doesn't matter why, it's his tragedy that I'm not happy. After finishing speaking, Bai Minghe waved his hand vigorously: "Another order, forty days later, this official will shell Lisbon." Fleets are neater with their hands and feet! ”
Pedru closed his eyes in despair, Portugal is finished, no matter what the reason, once Lisbon is attacked, Portugal will never be able to raise its head in Europe.
Suddenly, Pedru reacted to something, knelt forward, and came to the white crane: "Your Excellency. Gran Canaria is owned by Spain. ”
"It doesn't matter, any kingdom that dares to sell people is evil and must be punished."
"Do you represent God?" Pedru exclaimed.
"No, I represent His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Before entering the Mediterranean, I was in this capacity. As the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, I don't like to see any nation being oppressed, those who do wrong things will be punished, human trafficking is one of the ten evil crimes in the Ming Dynasty, if I find enough evidence that this qiē is promoted by your Portuguese king, then I will prepare an execution ground for him, according to my Da Ming law, beheaded! ”
According to the Da Ming Law, what is the Da Ming Law?
Pedru didn't understand, he couldn't figure out how to understand the word. In the end, it was only after the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty explained to him that he understood. This is the law of the kingdom of the Ming Dynasty.
Do you use the laws of one kingdom to bind another?
It doesn't matter how you understand your own thoughts, anyway, in history, all the people who went to sea in Europe were robbers. National bandits, forcibly occupy a certain area, and then colonize. Regional-level bandits, after occupying a certain place, trade slaves and rob resources. Team-level bandits, this category is the most interesting, they don't rob ordinary people, they just rob other bandits. What justice, what law, in fact, is just a game between robbers and robbers, big and small robbers.
Originally, Bai Minghe was still a little hesitant to do anything, but now it is the Portuguese who have given him the opportunity.
Fight against the slave trade, and then promote their own human rights doctrine. To put it mildly, Brother wants to save the world.
Daming is developing the economy and developing construction. The white crane is fighting ...... war, no, this point is wrong, the white crane is accompanying his woman to see the sea, the mountains, and the scenery. It's just a matter of composing poetry. The battle was fought by the troops of the Ming Dynasty's naval division, and according to the request of the white crane, they fought to the northwest corner of Africa in thirty days.
It was too simple to fight a war, there were only a few Portuguese ports of colonial armies here, and in addition to the middle fleet, the four detachments of the front, rear, left and right took turns to attack, fighting one to occupy one, liberating one, and then building one.
When I was in the port of Durban, the merchants were still carrying a lot of supplies onto the ship, but what happened next.
The merchants did not move, but remained in the port. There are too many moves, what's the point of moving these away, let's go around Europe first, the things stored in these warehouses, pay the storage fee to the sailor or your own, and talk about it in the future. The ship's hold was limited, and it was a waste to move too much, leaving everything but gold, ivory, precious stones, and other precious materials.
The Ming army strictly forbade soldiers to hide any materials privately, and Lan Hai ordered that everyone keep accounts.
"How much silver can you get for a piece of tusk?" There were soldiers on the ship who asked their superiors.
"His grandmother's are all poor ghosts who haven't even seen ivory, how can I know how much silver that thing is." After the chief scolded a few words, he didn't know how much silver the ivory could be exchanged for. But I know that this thing is precious.
"Report, found the ship, only two ...... from the north-west," shouted the brass pipe on the ship of the lookout Tetsu guò.
The flagship sails, and whoever is on this route as long as they do not fly the banner of the Ming Dynasty will either surrender or sink it. This order is under the blue ocean, not for robbery, but these large and small ports in Africa have their own soldiers, in case that the ship is attacked, it will be a mistake to kill or wound a person.
Therefore, it is correct to attack first and eliminate all the resistance forces at sea.
On this day, after taking the large island forcibly occupied by Spain, the telegram of the blue sea was also sent to the white crane.
The content of the telegram: "The fleet of marines has been reduced by 20,000 people, and the number of small boats near the sea has decreased by 300. Further consideration must be given, otherwise it will be a taboo to divide troops if this continues. It will affect the overall situation of the war, and the Ottoman Kingdom is the main enemy, and it cannot be put before the horse.
Bai Minghe called back: Occupy two more ports and stop. (To be continued......)
