This time, without waiting for the matter to be translated, Xia Zisu Lian stepped lightly, and was already in front of Yan Hong, and responded to Pedro with a muttering voice. Although the pronunciation is a little stiff, and there is a Chinese accent and analogy, judging from Yan Donglai's experience in his previous life, it is at least no problem for this Xia girl to take the Portuguese test. As soon as the two of them exchanged swords, swords and lips, Yan Hong and the others all seemed to have fallen into a five-mile fog, only Sosa accompanied the smiling face to turn left and right, one would say a few words to Pedro, and the other would say to Xia Zisu: "This handsome warrior, please calm your anger, calm your anger." ”

The two scolded each other a few times, Pedro frowned, stretched out his hand and was about to draw his sword, but Sosa grabbed his arm, and several foreign soldiers came over and put Pedro half supported and half forced him back.

Xia Zisu snorted softly, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she dodged and retreated behind Yan Hong. Yan Hong said, "What did you just say?" ”

Xia Zisu replied: "That Yi people are really hateful, and they keep saying that we are a provocation to the Portuguese Empire, and we have to fight with our Ming Dynasty, and he is also worthy?" I told him that my Daming Boat Division had taken control of the port, and that they dared to make any unusual moves, and the artillery fire was unleashed, leaving them with no sails. This person also said that the Portuguese Empire is the people of the Emperor of Heaven, and coming to the Ming Dynasty is a gift to us. I told him directly that I am the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and their Portugal is just a barbarian, and they do not open the king. This guy still wants to do something with me, I really want him to pull out his sword, and he will look good when the time comes. ”

This Xia girl is strong in martial arts, how can she put a Buddha in her eyes? Na Pedro respected his identity and thought that Xia Zisu was just an attendant. He was not qualified to fight a duel with his nobleman, so Sosa gave up as soon as he persuaded him, but avoided it. Sosa saw that the foreign soldiers had dragged Pedro away. hurriedly came over and apologized to Yan Hong and Xia Zisu: "Your Excellency Honorable Angel, Captain Pedro has just arrived, and he doesn't understand the rules, so I hope I will forgive you." I have prepared a grand welcome banquet, and I hope that Your Excellency Angel will be sure to enjoy it. ”

At that time, the Ming Dynasty thought that it had absolute psychological superiority in the face of foreign countries, and the country was called the Celestial Empire. Make an angel. Yan Hong was complimented by the other party, and he also felt refreshed, as if he was really going to become the winged birdman. He smiled: "There's no rush for a banquet or something." It's just that this official just said it. I heard that you dared to cross the border to build houses, and also built dock forts and stockpiled food and weapons, clearly to cut off the trenches. If this is true. I'm afraid you want to not fight. Neither can they be obtained. You said that this was a misunderstanding, but the official should personally inspect it, so that he could return to the Holy Lord. ”

Sosa hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Angel, this is a complete misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Captain Pedro had just arrived in the trenches, and he did not know much about the demarcation, so he wanted to build houses for his people to live in. This misunderstanding was made. Now, after my inform. He has returned to his place of residence in the country. Those so-called dock forts are complete distortions, and I swear in the name of God that we will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

As he spoke, he led the way, and Yan Hong and the others followed him to the area of Qingzhou Mountain to explore. But when I saw the buildings built there, there was a long stone wall as a barrier, and behind it was the prototype of the house, which had just been built and had been deserted, and the shape could not be seen. Whether it is a fortress or a house is difficult to determine.

Sosa was not idle along the way, and was busy with Yan Hong. It is important to know that the choice of land to open the port is not trivial. It takes time to choose a place, how long does it take to choose a good place? Sorry, that's not an accurate number. Three years is it, five years is it, and a month is it. Even the choice of big ports and small ports, good ports and bad ports, far ports and near ports all have a lot to talk about. For the Portuguese, of course, the sooner the better, the sooner the port was opened, and the sooner the money was made. And this needs to be promoted by Yan Qincha in front of him.

Not to mention, after the opening of the port, there are countless things to decide. A very simple question, how to get this tax for port trading? Did the Ming Dynasty directly send officials to verify, or did it appoint tax officials? Now that Baron Sousa has a title, he doesn't want to go back to his old business and make a living that he has no capital. If you can get a tax officer, you will really wake up from a dream. He even regretted that his beautiful daughter was far away in Lisbon, otherwise he would have just stuffed her into the angel's room, and he would have been able to sit on the throne of the tax collector.

So this time back and forth, Sosa has promised Yan Hong countless benefits. Not to mention the gold and ambergris sent before, he sent a pocket watch that was ready to Yan Hong. Although this object is not as valuable as those two boxes, the problem is that Da Ming does not have it. Rare things are precious, not to mention the gold case and gold chain on this pocket watch, which is inlaid with diamonds, which is absolutely extraordinary. Yan Hong remained silent, reached out and put the pocket watch on his body, and followed Sosa back to the office in the trench. Own coffee and snack treats.

And Pedro was half-pulled and half-persuaded by several foreign soldiers to return to the castle, and his anger was hard to get rid of. Especially after sending someone to inquire, he said that the port had been occupied by the Ming Dynasty sailors, and his own warships had also lost control, and he was even more angry. He wanted to gather his troops and regain his ship, but he was worried that he would be alone.

There are now more than 1,200 Portuguese soldiers in the trenches. Among them, Sosa has more than 400 people, while Pedro has only 140. The other 600 people belonged to six captains. These so-called captains are actually weak businessmen and strong thieves. In Pedro's opinion, it's all a bunch of scum, garbage, traitors. There was also a Dutch captain who was a Protestant heretic. According to Pedro, a Catholic fanatic, this watch should be arrested and burned to death, but Sosa defended it in many ways, and he couldn't do it.

But an objective fact is that the strength of these people combined is even higher than that of Sosa, let alone himself. If you start a war with Daming, you really can't do without the support of these scumbags. The general officer, Luo Agen, was very clever, and when he saw that his owner was at a loss, he had already rushed over and suggested: "Your Excellency, I think we should invite those captains to come over and discuss a charter. Their ship is also in port. If we were the only ones to grab the ship, we wouldn't have enough strength. If they had started it first, there might have been hope. And there are a lot of them, and Sosa can't hold it down, so maybe he can take the opportunity to kill Sosa when the time comes. ”

Pedro naturally welcomes this kind of person who actively betrays the country after becoming a general. However, as a Portuguese nobleman, he still had some dignity, and when he heard this Chinese suggest that he kill another Portuguese, he couldn't help but put on a straight face and said: "Luo, I must tell you that Mr. Sousa is a baron canonized by the queen and a nobleman." Although this nobleman is very suspicious, he is still a nobleman. And I'm a nobleman. I'm not going to allow you to use such dishonorable tactics against a nobleman, you know? But it's a good idea to gather those scumbags. Together, we are the number one force on the island, and Mr. Sousa must respect our wishes. ”

This Luo Agen's ability to act is really not weak. It didn't take long for several captains to arrive. Just looking at the outfits on their bodies, Pedro couldn't help but be faintly unhappy. These men used to wear the casual attire of sailing, but today they are all dressed in ceremonial clothes and carrying canes, just like Sosa. It's just that the vulgar words and demeanors are extremely incommensurate with this costume, and in the eyes of a real nobleman like Pedro, it is simply a monkey.

This incongruity is nothing. The point is that this outfit shows that these scumbag captains didn't think about fighting at all today, but were waiting to greet a big man with a warm welcome. Of course, this big man is the Ming Dynasty. Even the Dutch cousin, Chrissy, wore a corset and a farlegail skirt. The woman was tall, and the dress was snatched from nowhere, and how it fit, exposing half of her snow-white breasts, causing the other captains—Carlos, Luis, Loze, Miguel, and Antonio—to glance at her.

Life at sea is boring, and there are more men than women in the trenches. This Chrissy is not only plump, but also has milk-white skin, shiny blonde hair, and her seductive features, which are very eye-catching. At first, some people also beat the idea of this Dutch tulip, but when she turned a man who dared to tease into a eunuch, everyone knew that it was not a tulip, but a cactus, and it was better to make less trouble.

This woman didn't care about everyone's gaze at her, although she was dressed as a noblewoman, she was playing with two daggers in her hands, very presumptuous, with a wide mouth and a trace of uninhibited smile.

Pedro had no intention of teasing this woman. Suppressing his hatred for the Protestant, he said to the other captains: "Sir, now that the barbarian fleet has blocked our harbor, several of their ships may be destroyed by them at any time. I think we should gather our troops, go to the port first, and control the ships......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Antonio "One-Eyed" had already interrupted him: "Come on, Pedro." I'm not Sosa's fat man, I don't have that much time to grind your teeth. The news that the angels of the Ming Kingdom are coming, Sosa has already told us. We don't want to fight, we just want to hear what he's going to do. We're not crazy, it's not worth it to go to war with such a huge empire. As for the ship, there is no need to worry, the fat man promised that he would compensate for any loss of our ship. ”

"Wooden Legs" Miguel is Antonio's best friend, and the two are embarrassed and have worked together at sea I don't know how many times. At this time, he also said: "Yes, my people say that the angel seems to have a good conversation with our Baron Sousa, and it seems that he will not encroach on our property." Pedro, don't be so nervous, I feel like you still need to have a glass of wine and relax. (To be continued......)
