The emotions were stirred up in an instant, however, other countries were excited, but the Portuguese envoy was a little uneasy, for no other reason, his own power in the Eastern world was too weak, Portugal's power in the South Seas was far from being comparable to the power in the Americas, that is, or the Americas, the declining Portugal now does not have enough strength to compete with the world, this country is too small, and it is already good to be able to hold on to the old roots.

Break with the Ming Empire and fight to the end? The other three countries may have such confidence, but Portugal does not, and Portugal's trade center is on the Mazu Peninsula, close to the Guangdong political envoys, once it breaks with the Ming Dynasty, then Portugal will be miserable, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it for even half a month, and it will have to be wiped out by the strong army of the Ming Empire.

When the time comes, don't talk about the greater interests, even the little interests at hand can't be guaranteed......

"What's wrong? Gomez, why don't you speak? ”

Seeing that Gomez was silent, Vane asked dissatisfied.

Gomez smiled bitterly: "Fight to the death? What you said is light, you don't know how strong the strength of the Ming Empire is, are you sure you can fight? Just by virtue of this little power of our four countries in the South Seas? It's not that I admit it, it's really not enough to see, in the past few years, the development of the Ming fleet has been too fast, and the strength of the two major fleets of the Ming Dynasty has been twice as strong as three years ago! It turns out that our four countries can still suppress the Ming fleet, but now, I'm afraid that it may not be, right? Moreover, our Kingdom of Portugal is only a piece of land on the Mazu Peninsula in the Eastern world, close to Xiangshan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, and once a war starts, the interests of Portugal will bear the brunt, and the Portuguese will be ruined for 200 years......"

"Confession? You're such a coward! ”

Vane scolded angrily, "Why is the strength of the Ming Empire's fleet soaring, isn't our strength rising?" The four countries are united, the strength of our fleet is absolutely able to suppress the Ming fleet, I think, the same as the last time, this time the Ming Empire finally admits defeat, once the war starts on the coast of the Ming Dynasty, the richest areas of the Ming Empire all have to fall into the flames of war, and the losses brought to the Ming are immeasurable! You are so cowardly as a mouse, you don't dare to fight, then go back to Mazu Island, if we win the benefits, the fart will not be your share! ”

"You!"

Gomez's face turned red, but the situation is stronger than people, his own country is not as strong as others, and in the Eastern world, Portugal is also not as strong as England, what can he do? Can't afford to mess with it!

"Gomez!"

He said in a deep voice: "You have to understand, only by advancing and retreating together can we defeat the Ming Empire and get the benefits that belong to our countries, haven't you been confiscated in the Ming Dynasty?" Have you Portuguese merchants not been arrested and killed? Do you think that by wagging your tail and begging for mercy from the Ming Emperor, you will be able to get these things back? We all know that as long as the Ming Emperor makes a decision, even if you lick her toes, it won't help! If you want to change, you must force him! ”

Gomez's face was cloudy, and finally said: "Everyone, I can't be the master of this matter, so let's leave it to our Governor to decide, as for whether he is fighting or peace, then it is not something I can control, and you don't want to think about it, if you can resolve this dispute in the form of peace talks, why not try?" ”

"General, General!"

Outside the door, Phillips walked in quickly and said urgently: "General Qiyu, our people have just received news from Quanzhou that Emperor Zhu Jie of the Ming Dynasty has decided to destroy all the nearly 10,000 boxes of Fushou paste that have been collected, and the time will be half a month later!" ”

"No! There is no time, we must stop the Ming Emperor from doing this! ”

Vane jumped up and shouted angrily, "Tens of thousands of boxes of Fushou Paste are worth four or five million taels of silver, and we will never allow the Ming Empire to destroy them!" ”

It's just that no matter how high Vane jumps, it's useless, England's fleet is far west of the Strait of Malacca, and it can't reach the coast of the Ming Dynasty for a while, and it will take at least a month and a half to come and go, as for the other fleets, the Spanish fleet in Luzon is very close, one back and forth, twenty days, it's almost the same, but borrowing the courage of the Spaniards, they will never dare to run to the coast of the Ming Empire single-handedly to provoke, that is self-destruction!

"Mr. Wayne, you have the ability, you go and roar with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I want to see how you stop the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! What about your fleet? Don't say I look down on you, it's a miracle that your England fleet can reach Fujian within two months! ”

He pursed his lips and replied disdainfully.

Vineden lost his temper and said in a sullen voice: "General Yi, I have already obtained the authorization given to me by our Governor General to deal with this incident, and the envoy of the Governor of Cohen of your country has also been appointed, right?" Spanish, Mr. Alphath, how are you? ”

Alpha smiled: "No problem, carte blanche, our Governor has given it to me, let me act with the camera, talk to the Ming court first, if you can't talk, then do it!" When the four of us are united, can't we fight the Ming Empire? I don't believe it, it's a big deal to transfer troops from the country, this time for the trade of Fushou ointment, but also for the customs revenue of the Ming Dynasty, this battle will be a complete success! ”

Shaking his head, he replied, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the envoy of Governor Cohen will arrive in Geranza, and when the time comes, go together, Gomez, will you take it?" ”

Gomez smiled bitterly: "If it's just a negotiation, then I'm naturally willing to do it, and it would be great to be able to save the lives of these properties and merchants, as for the trade between the Ming Dynasty and various countries, or wars, I'll talk about it later, anyway, I can't be the master......"

"If that's the case, then it's decided!"

He said in a deep voice: "Wait for three days, and after three days, our envoy will also arrive, and we will act together when the time comes!" You can also send someone back to deliver the message, I think this operation, nine times out of ten will be in vain, if you want to force the Ming Empire to make concessions, then you must show your fists, the fleets of various countries will drive out again, go to the coast of Fujian, give the Ming Empire a little color to see, let them understand that the Ming Empire is not strong enough to compete with the four countries at the same time! ”

Interests, all actions are for the sake of interests in the end, the interests of Fushou paste are too big, in order to be able to expand the interests, now many businessmen have even begun to vigorously increase orders in India and even the Americas, the deposit has been paid, once the market of Daming is blocked, then these people will really lose their money.
