The Macau Treaty was still signed, and there was no choice.

Spain was at war with the Netherlands, Portugal was fighting for independence, and the Governor of Macau was caught in the middle.

Zhao Han's permission to allow the autonomy of foreign settlements was the last face left to the governor and the parliament. Once the face is torn, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the residential area, and where should the more than 2,000 Portuguese and Spaniards on the island go?

"One, two, three, bump!"

"One, two, three, bump!"

"Boom!"

The boundary wall of Macao built by the Portuguese was not completed at this time, and it was torn off piece by piece.

The place leased by the Ming to Portugal was not the entire island of Macau, but only a small part of the island. The church built by Portugal across the border has been demolished many times by the Ming government, and only the cannon foundry has been preserved.

Although Zhao Han allowed the autonomy of the settlements, it was limited to the settlements, and the boundary wall enclosed large swaths of the countryside.

Gan Dashou, the magistrate of Xiangshan County, personally brought the officials and came over to divide the land for the Han people on the island.

Some local officials beat the gong and shouted: "Come and register and make a book, and the land deed will be issued when the household registration is settled, and the private land without the land deed will be confiscated!" As long as you are registered, you will not be afraid of being bullied by Francophone people in the future! ”

Eight forts have been built in Macao, and one is under construction, with more than 60 fixed coastal defense guns and 20 field artillery pieces.

Fei Ruhe personally led his troops to receive the batteries and artillery.

Take out the treaty, everything went well, and the fort was soon in the hands of Fei Ruhe.

"Stop, this is a Portuguese artillery factory, your actions are robbery! In the "Macao Treaty", the ownership of the artillery factory is not clearly stated, and you can't snatch it away at will! "Councillor Masgar stopped at the gate of the gun factory.

Tu Tingye said to the translator: "Tell him that I am Tu Tingye, the inspector of the Macao Inspection Department, and I will be in charge of public security in Macao in the future." The Bugarao Cannon Foundry is a cross-border building and must be recovered, and the Macau Parliament can only manage the settlement! Lift! ”

Three hundred firearms, all brushed and raised.

Seeing that the other party still didn't get out of the way, Tu Tingye shouted again: "Light the fire rope!" ”

Mashigar was so frightened that he immediately dodged away, and said angrily: "War, you are going to provoke a war!" ”

The Bugarao Cannon Foundry claims to be the best cannon factory in the Far East, selling well in Asia and even back to Europe.

The "Shenwei General Cannon" of Beijing City Tower is produced in the Macao Bugarao Cannon Foundry.

Tu Tingye sneered: "Go in and tell them." ”

Wang Shengtai took more than 10 apprentices into the cannon foundry and said: "From now on, the Bugarao Cannon Foundry will be renamed the Macao Cannon Foundry, and I will be the factory supervisor of the Gun Foundry. Your salary is still the same, and if you can improve the craftsmanship, or if you can forge high-quality guns, you can get rewards. ”

A man who looked like a craftsman and a boss came up to him and said to Wang Shengtai: "I am Wendis Bugarao, and this gun factory was opened by my grandfather. I would like to ask, I still have 15% of the shares, will these shares also be taken away? ”

"You can stay," Wang Shengtai replied, "as long as you have excellent cannon casting skills, I will leave you 1% of the dry shares." You can only share dividends, you can't participate in management, and you can't leave them to your children and grandchildren, and they will be invalid after you die. ”

Wendis Bugarao said indignantly: "You are robbing! ”

Wang Shengtai sneered: "Then I will answer you, the cannon foundry does not belong to the leased land. Your grandfather crossed the concession and forcibly took possession of the villagers' land. What kind of behavior is this? Bandit! I'll leave you 1% of the dry shares, which is already very face-saving for you. If it weren't for the town's orders, I'd have banished you directly!" Either take 1% of the dry shares and continue to cast cannons, or leave the cannon factory immediately! ”

Wendis Bugarao was silent, reluctantly accepting this reality.

The whole of Macao, as well as the cannon foundry, has already been seriously damaged because of the previous war.

That battle was fought in Shandong.

In the third year of Chongzhen, the Portuguese artillery team of Macao arrived in Beijing. The annual salary of the chief is 150 taels, and the monthly allowance is 15 taels; The annual salary of an ordinary gunner is 100 taels, and the monthly subsidy is 10 taels. They not only trained the gunners of the Ming army, but also went to Liaodong to fight, and at the Dengzhou artillery casting base, they used the cold casting technology of the cannon barrel to increase the firing range of the Hongyi cannon by three times.

Due to the high wages, Portuguese gunners and gunsmiths constantly traveled from Macao to Dengzhou, and fought at Phi Dao so that the Manchus did not dare to go to sea again.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde rebelled and led troops to besiege Dengzhou. Due to Geng Zhongming's betrayal, the gate of Dengzhou fell.

The Ming army died or surrendered, and the Portuguese artillery was isolated and still held on to the gun position.

The artillery team under Kong Youde was taught by the Portuguese.

The apprentice beats the master.

40 Portuguese gunners, with the Ming allies fleeing and surrendering, fought until the end. 12 people were killed, 15 were seriously wounded, and the rest were slightly wounded, with a casualty rate of 100%.

Kong Youde took away the surviving Portuguese gunners and gunsmiths and surrendered all to the Manchus, who acquired advanced artillery casting technology.

Since then, Macau's vitality has been greatly damaged.

The excellent gunsmiths of the Bugarao Cannon Foundry directly lost half of them. The excellent gunners of the Macao Fort also directly lost half.

Wang Shengtai suddenly smiled and said: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be frustrated, as long as you are willing to teach the cold casting technique of the cannon barrel, 1% of the dry stock will be correct, and there will be three hundred taels of silver every year." ”

Wendis Bugarao felt better, or at least lived a good life.

Wang Shengtai said again: "As long as Your Excellency does things seriously, the town will promise you a knighthood." ”

"Knighthood?" Wendis Bugarao was overjoyed.

"Yes, knighthood." Wang Shengtai said with a smile.

Wendis Bugarao's grandfather was only a gunsmith, and he was transferred from the Goa cannon factory in India. It has been the dream of them for generations to become a nobleman, the lowest baron, the earl, and enough for Wendis Bugarao to fight for.

"Dear Sir, I am willing to serve you." Wendis Bugarau bowed.

Bugarao Cannon Foundry was taken over by Zhao Han and officially renamed Macau Cannon Foundry.

……

Macau, a Portuguese settlement.

Fei Ruhe shouted: "Immediately put down the fire and disband the Macao Guard!" ”

The commander of the guard, Julio, shouted angrily: "I do not agree to sign the Treaty of Macau, I do not agree to dissolve the guard. Damn rebels, if you want me to submit, then decide the battle on the battlefield! ”

"Dangdang, dang!"

The bell rang in the council, and several councillors came running quickly.

Muttered for a while in the guards, and then immediately left. Three hundred of the Macau Guard, one hundred of them Portuguese, raised their guns against two hundred Spaniards.

Julio is stupid, the Chinese have not yet started fighting, and their own people are fighting first.

The Governor of Macau, Paul Shi, saw this scene at the Governor's Palace. He led the men to rush to the council chamber and roared, "What exactly does the council want to do? Is Macau going to betray the king? ”

Speaker Warria had a cold expression: "I'm sorry, the Macau Council is only loyal to the King of Portugal." ”

"The King of Spain is the King of Portugal!" Paul was furious.

Warria said, "Please leave Magang immediately, you are not welcome here." ”

Fifty-four years ago, when Spain intervened in the affairs of Macao, the Portuguese rebelled and expelled Spanish missionaries and monks.

Fifty-two years ago, Macau was granted semi-autonomy.

Forty-eight years ago, at the behest of the Queen of Spain, the Governor of the Philippines sent a ship to Macao to purchase military supplies, but the ship was seized by the Portuguese.

Forty-four years ago, the King of Spain severed trade between the Philippines and Mexico and Macao.

Forty-three years ago, Spanish ships were expelled by the Portuguese.

Forty-two years ago......

The Portuguese in Macau have been rebelling against Spanish rule, and have even staged a coup d'état that was suppressed by force.

Now Zhao Han wants to disband the Macau Guard, and the Macau Parliament immediately takes the opportunity to coup d'état.

"God, you can't do that!"

"Go back to the Philippines, you goddamn Spaniards!"

Large-scale conflicts, first in churches.

The Jesuit priests, with a large number of Portuguese civilians, rushed into the Dominican church with sticks. When they saw the Spaniards, they beat them, and even the nuns did not let them go, and directly tied up the bishop of Macao.

Today's Doge's Palace was once a Jesuit battery.

The whole city began to be chaotic, and Fei Ruhe with hundreds of soldiers stood happily outside the settlement to watch the excitement.

Including children and garrisons, there are more than 2,000 foreigners in Macao.

Among them, the Portuguese were in the majority, and they began to smash and loot, and the spearhead was aimed at the Spaniards. Since the King of Spain ruled Portugal, the number of Spaniards in Macao has increased, which has seriously damaged the interests of the Portuguese. Over the decades, the Spaniards were expelled three times.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Macau Guard opened fire.

Two hundred Spanish guards, shooting at one hundred Portuguese guards.

The original purpose of the establishment of the Macao Guard was to suppress the Portuguese rebellion first, and to guard against the Dutch attack.

Governor Schpaul stood on the spot, the guards fought, the church fought, and the civilians fought.

There is no need for Chinese to shoot at all, Macau itself can play dog brains.

"General, the Big Buddha (Portugal) can't hold on." The translator reminded.

Fei Ruhe immediately shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Bang bang bang!"

Not long after, Spain was caught between China and Portugal and quickly collapsed to the point of surrender.

Fei Ruhe was about to receive the prisoners, only to see the Portuguese guards, suddenly shot at close range, and the Spanish troops were directly killed by a third.

The two sides fought again, and Fei Ruhe was too lazy to get involved.

Julio, the commander of the guard, was unwillingly shot and fell, and countless Spanish troops fled to the sea.

At the same time, the Portuguese clergy drove out the Spanish clergy, the Portuguese civilians drove out the Spanish civilians, and the Macau parliament expelled the officials of the Governor's Palace.

Governor Sch Paul was driven to the pier, and Speaker Warria said sharply: "Go back to the Philippines immediately, and you are not allowed to set foot on Macao soil again!" ”

A large number of Spanish officials, clergy and civilians, cursing or crying boarded the ship.

Especially civilians, they left wearing only one suit of clothes, all their property was deprived, how can a family live in the Philippines?

"Wonderful, wonderful." Fei Ruhe couldn't help but sigh.

Speaker Warriya ordered the disbandment of the guards, handed over all the muskets to Fei Ruhe, and said: "Please abide by the treaty and do not interfere in the affairs of the ghetto in the future." ”

"We've always kept our promises." Fei Ruhe said with a smile.
