The people who emigrated were the people of the Dawu Dynasty, but the population base was too thin, not to mention enslaving the aborigines, it would be good to be able to avoid being attacked and killed by the Portuguese.

According to the strategy set by Zhu Houzhao and his brother at the beginning, the first batch of aborigines would live in one city, but it was originally set to be London, England, and later because of the deviation of the route to Portugal, the concentration of immigrants became Lisbon.

Ninety percent of the former Portuguese in Lisbon were expelled, and most of the women and children who remained were women and children, who became Handmaidens and child servants of Hermes-Epitek.

Then Zhu Houzhao directly caught up with more than 50,000 strong men on the ship, and the returning Daming fleet will carry these Portuguese strong men back to Daming and become free labor!

When these Portuguese arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they were assigned to various construction sites and mines, where they were guaranteed three meals a day, but they were not paid and were not allowed to intermarry.

This policy is the most ruthless part of Zhu Houwei, because whether it is the people of the Ming Dynasty or the civilians of different races, in this era, the goal they pursue is the same, that is, to live!

Do you think they'll be able to survive in Portugal and be well fed? Don't have to endure the exploitation of the aristocracy?

That's impossible, Daming provides them with food, clothing and shelter, just let them work, why do they make trouble?

Not allowing intermarriage is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, so that no matter how many people Europe sends to the Ming Dynasty, after a few decades, the fire will burn and scatter it into the sea, leaving no trace......

As for whether you will make trouble at sea, starve for three days, and then give only a little food every day, do you think you will have the strength to make trouble?

Now the biggest problem facing Zhu Houzhao is still a lack of people, a serious shortage of people!

The biggest problem is that the territory has been conquered but there is no way to occupy it effectively.

But the people's resistance is not very fierce, after all, more than 100,000 Han people live in Lisbon, Lisbon has deployed 5,000 heavy troops, and then Lisbon is divided into a forbidden area for the people to plant crops.

The Portuguese nobles were all captured and killed, so the Portuguese people suddenly discovered one thing, that is, not only did their life seem to have not changed, the nobility and the ruling department were gone, and their life did not seem to be very sad.

Of course, without the constraints of the law, the evil of human nature will be infinitely magnified, so vicious cases such as robbing oneself, picking quarrels and provoking troubles are endless in today's Portugal.

But these have nothing to do with Zhu Houzhao's dime, even if Portugal kills itself by itself, Zhu Houzhao may still be happy to see it......

If Lisbon is now a civil city, then Madrid is a military city!

More than 90,000 troops were stationed here, as well as a temporary court composed of scholars with no political experience.

To tell the truth, this kind of unfortunate war made Zhu Houzhao lack interest, and now he is waiting, waiting for that Charles V to go back and reorganize his troops and horses to fight him to the death, waiting for the angry Holy See to play its role, calling on the countries of all Europe to send coalition forces to drive him into the sea......

A few days ago, the Pope of the Holy See issued a decree, and the warships of most of the coastal countries of Europe almost poured out, and thousands of warships gathered in the waters off Portugal.

World War I! The five warships left by the Ming Dynasty in the open sea were sunk, and hundreds of brave Ming sailors were buried at the bottom of the sea, and it is clear that the Holy See's plan is very clear, to concentrate superior military forces to seize sea dominance, cut off Zhu Houzhao's escape to the sea, and then gather the armies of various countries to give him an urn to catch turtles, and completely kill the Ming army on land.

Now that Zhu Houzhao and other flowers are gone, I haven't even seen a ghost on the land......

Just when Zhu Houzhao was extremely melancholy, on the ocean less than three hundred nautical miles off the coast of Portugal, a huge fleet was sailing slowly!

Three giant steel ships spitting white smoke led the way, followed by a dense crowd of almost one hundred and fifty wooden warships!

Don't think that wooden warships have no combat effectiveness, in fact, in the current era, wooden warships are the mainstream!

There are as many as fifteen treasure ships in this ocean-going fleet, and the hull is 38 zhang long, although it has not reached the size of Zheng He when he went to the Western Ocean, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the flagship of Zheng He's naval division is not enough to see in front of it.

Because each of these ships is equipped with sixty-two of the latest guns, all of which stick out of their guns, and the giant ships are monsters with teeth and claws, full of thorns!

In terms of actual combat capabilities, such a treasure ship is only a little worse than the three main ships, and this is because the main role of the wooden ship is to carry people, or to reserve enough space, the number of guns on the treasure ship can at least double!

Waiting in the Daming Valley, Shen Gengzhong, the commander of the ocean-going naval division, stood on the bow of the flagship ship and looked into the distance, according to the current speed, there are three or four days at most, and it will be able to reach the coast of Portugal!

Unlike the first expedition, the ocean-going fleet, despite the nautical charts, world maps and compasses provided by the emperor, the fleet eventually deviated from its course and landed in Portugal instead of England, which had been originally set.

For Gu Hou, what he is afraid of is not the deviation from the course, nor the sea storm that may occur anytime and anywhere, what he is most afraid of is supplies!

Hundreds of thousands of people, even if they eat the least amount of food, the daily consumption is a terrifying number, the first expedition, the food and fresh water prepared by Da Ming are only enough for one month, that is to say, he must find a supply point within a month, and then replenish enough supplies!

Shen Gengzhong still remembered the last expedition, he only dared to sail along the coastline of the mainland along the way, and he would land every ten days and half a month to make up the consumed baggage, which may be the essential reason why the first expedition would deviate.

But this time Shen Gengzhong had no worries, because he already knew the route, when he needed supplies and where to replenish, he knew it clearly!

And this time is more important than the last voyage, the last time it was to transport troops, and this time it was to transport migrants.

More than 150 warships carried the clans and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, as well as more than 400,000 ordinary people, if they went on a business trip, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The route for several months made Shen Gengzhong feel a little tired, but as a soldier, Shen Gengzhong knew that the closer he was to victory, the more he could not relax, and only when he sent all the immigrants on the more than 150 ships ashore could he relax.

And at this moment, a stormtrooping clipper rushed towards it like a sharp arrow!
