322、Threat from the West [2/2]

Li Huamei pushed open the door and walked in, only to see Yi Yun and Chen Yuanyuan sitting on the edge of the bed, the sheets were messy and in a mess, even a blind person could see what was going on. If it were an ordinary woman who saw this situation, she would generally blush and be a little embarrassed, but Li Huamei has dealt with Westerners since she was a child and has been exposed to free and open Western culture, so she doesn't feel any fuss, not to mention that she has more important things to talk about now, and she is not in the mood to care about those men and women.

She dragged out a chair from the corner of the room, sat down generously opposite Yi Yun and Chen Yuanyuan, frowned and said, "Does the prince know about the Macau Oasis?"

"Macau?" As soon as Yi Yun heard the name, he immediately remembered some stories about the city, and young people in later generations, even if they were blind to history, would usually know a little bit about the ins and outs of Macau. He said in a tentative tone: "When you say the oasis of Macao, you mean a small city on the coast of Fujian, right? It seems to be a place leased to Westerners......

Li Huamei nodded and said, "It seems that the prince knows this place, but he doesn't know much about this place, so I'll tell you about it in detail." ”

Li Huamei seriously explained the history of the oasis in Macau, it turned out that in 1493 of the Great Meng calendar, the Portuguese took a big sea ship, across the sea to the Great Meng country, at that time, the West, has begun to vigorously explore the age of discovery, countless Western colonizers began to go to the world, they in Africa, Central Europe, America and other places, landed in the local tribal villages or small cities, the use of iron-blooded policy, the local natives are afraid, and then take them as subordinates, dominate the territory.

After the Portuguese came to the Great Meng Kingdom, they also wanted to use the method of dealing with the natives to deal with the Great Meng Kingdom, and they landed in the defense area of Dongguan to defend the Qiansuo and sent dozens of people to capture the Great Meng Kingdom. Don't laugh yet. It's really just dozens of people who have landed and want to capture our Celestial Empire.

In the eyes of Westerners at that time, the East was full of barbarians, and we sent dozens of people, which was already a great way to give face to you barbarians.

The result...... At that time, there were not many garrisons in Dongguan at that time, and there were only 1,000 people! These 1,000 people were commanded by a thousand households named Yuan Guang. I usually fish and bask in the sun on the beach where the birds don't grow a single feather. The Portuguese had no idea that there was a country so big that there were even a thousand troops sent to bask on the seashore.

At that time, the people of Dameng had not yet met Western colonists. I don't know what this gang is here for, but they have seen the firecracker, and they know that the one who swaggers into their country with this thing must be the invaders, the villains!

So Yuan Guang ordered to attack, and according to the tradition of the Da Meng ** team, he took the lead and rushed forward first!

With this rush, he gave away his life. The Portuguese firecrackers came in a round of shots, Yuan Guang Qianhu was killed, but a thousand of his brothers were not killed, so many people rushed to frighten the Portuguese and ran away immediately.

After this happened, the Portuguese understood. This big cute country is not easy to manage, unlike those vegetable tribes in Africa and Central Europe, which can be bullied casually, so they began to play all kinds of tricks, secretly landing on Tuen Mun Island to build a city, and pretending to be Islamists, and engaging in smuggling...... At the same time, the fleet was secretly assembled. I want to collect more manpower, and then give Da Meng Guo a ruthless move.

In the year 1521 of the Great Meng Calendar, the previous emperor of the Great Meng Kingdom finally couldn't stand these rats jumping in the corners of his eyes, and ordered: "Get rid of these annoying flies." ”

So the Great Meng Kingdom sent an envoy to tell the Portuguese to leave quickly, and not to play tricks on my land. Of course, the Portuguese did not listen, and they began to prepare for war, preparing to defeat the army of the Great Moe Kingdom...,

The two sides eventually fought the Battle of Tuen Mun, and the Portuguese brought more than a dozen sea ships and hundreds of soldiers, such an army size was remarkable in the eyes of the Portuguese at that time, and it was difficult to capture a small African army.

But what about the Da Meng country? I didn't play it at all, and I didn't even send an official at the level of the governor of Liangguang, so I randomly sent an official called the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Sea Road, and brought the army to deal with the Portuguese.

The Portuguese are a little unhappy, you are a big cute country, and there is only a petty official in the great Portuguese Empire to meet me, and you look down on people too much, right?

Outcome...... As soon as the armies of both sides met each other, the Portuguese cried...... How many troops did the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Maritime Tract, a petty officer like a shrimp, lead with him? The answer was: 4,000 men, 50 boats, and land and sea routes.

With 4,000 men and 50 boats, the deputy envoy of the Cantonese Sea Road played a set of combined punches, and easily beat the Portuguese to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they fled in embarrassment. To use our Chinese proverb, you can be stoned to death with boogers.

After this battle, the Portuguese no longer dared to argue with Da Mengguo, so they began to beg for forgiveness in a low voice. Since you apologized, I forgive you for the sake of your low voice, so I agreed that the Portuguese would live in the Macau Oasis and could do business under the government of the Macau Oasis.

Macau developed in this way, more and more Portuguese people lived in the Macau Oasis, and the whole oasis was also influenced by Western culture, and the atmosphere became open, and then slowly, the Macau Oasis became an excellent trading location, and the Portuguese maintained the order of the Macau harbor under the jurisdiction of the Da Meng State Government, turning it into a very prosperous place.

When Yi Yun heard this, he was already very clear about the matter of the Macau Oasis, combined with the knowledge he brought from later generations, he knew that although Macau was still under the jurisdiction of the official government of the Da Meng Kingdom, it was actually the most important stronghold of the Portuguese in the Da Meng Kingdom, which was very important.

"What's going on in this Macau Oasis?" asked Yi Yun with a calm face.

Li Huamei sighed: "The Dutch are here......"

"Huh?"

"The person I was talking to in the hall just now was an Englishman who had nothing to do with either of them, and they told me bad news. Li Huamei said very seriously: "You know, in the Western Ocean, the most seafaring countries are Spain and Portugal, but in recent years, several emerging maritime powers have risen, one of which is called the Netherlands. ”

"Well, I know that, the coachman of the sea!" said Eyun casually.

"Huh, how did the prince know that? Even I just heard this nickname from the Portuguese...... This is the name given to the Dutch by Westerners. Li Huamei was taken aback.

"Well, what I dreamed of, it's a trivial matter, don't get entangled in it, get down to business. Iyun Khan said.

Li Huamei glanced at Yi Yun deeply, and then said seriously: "After the Dutch arrived in our Dameng country, they also wanted to find a place to settle ashore like the Portuguese, but the Portuguese were afraid that the Dutch would rob them of their interests, so they did not allow the Dutch to land, and the two maritime powers pinched each other...... The Englishman had just spoken to me about this, and his face was full of schadenfreude. ”

"Oh!" Yi Yun suddenly heard the problem: "It's not good! This mutual pinching is not good for our Da Meng Country...... After they pinch twice, they will definitely shake hands and make peace, and then they will focus on us together. ”

"That's right!" Li Huamei nodded and said: "The prince is indeed shrewd, if it were someone else, hearing that the other two countries were pinching each other, they would definitely clap their hands and watch the tiger, but it only took a moment for the prince to think that they might join forces ......"

"Do you still need to think about this?" Yi Yun shook his head: "Say it quickly, what will happen to these two countries next?"

Li Huamei said in a deep voice: "The Portuguese finally made peace with the Dutch, and invited the Dutch to the Macao Oasis, let them see the prosperity and wealth of the Macao Oasis, and the mountains of goods were piled up, and the Dutch were so red that they screamed, so they promised to eat the big cake of Dameng together without harming the interests of Portugal." After leaving the oasis in Macau, the Dutch went to Penghu, where they built houses and castles, intending to build a stronghold like the Portuguese. ”

"I'm rubbing! It's too much, running to the territory of our country to build a castle?" Yi Yun suddenly jumped up: "This matter, have the Dutch applied to the court of our Dameng country?"

"No!" Li Huamei shook her head and said: "If you apply to the imperial court, at most they will be allowed to live temporarily and build houses, but it is absolutely impossible to allow them to build castles, and now the Dutch are building castles...... This is a military building, how can the imperial court agree?"

"Grandma is a bear, the local officials eat, send troops to get rid of the Dutch!" Yi Yun said unhappily: "Although our country is relatively backward in science and technology, it is thousands of people to play a boogue, and they will kill the Dutch scum at will." ”

Local officials ...... Not capable of dealing with the Dutch. Li Huamei shook her head with a heavy face and said: "Penghu is not as good as Macao, because Macao is still on the mainland in general, and the army of the Great Meng Kingdom can directly attack Macao, so the Portuguese dare not be arrogant, but Penghu is in the middle of the vast sea, and the Dutch built a castle in Penghu, which is to see that although the army of the Great Meng Country is strong, the navy is weak...... With all due respect, the navy of the Great Meng Kingdom is as weak as a chicken, and it is a big dish in front of the Dutch. ”

"If the local officials dare to send troops to Penghu, they will be sunk by the Dutch on the sea to feed the fish!"

Hearing this, Yi Yun's head ached slightly: "I understand, you came to tell me the news specifically to imply that the government can't handle the Dutch, only I can handle it." You want me to make a move against the Dutch in Penghu?"

"Exactly!" Li Huamei said seriously: "Westerners are ambitious, not to be underestimated, but the officials of the Great Meng Kingdom do not pay attention to it, among the people I know, only you have a long-term vision, can see the strength of the Westerners and the wolf ambition, I think, only you can take on the heavy responsibility of driving away the Westerners." ”

"I'm dizzy!Admiral Li, you think too highly of me, what am I going to do to fight a naval battle with the Westerners!"
