On the rivers and lakes, no, the ironclad ships that have been famous for a long time in the South Seas have reappeared in the oceans.

Heading south was Deng Zilong's ship, the 'Son of God' that had been named like a joke by Chen Mu.

However, Deng Zilong was not on the ship, this fleet of 3,000 ships and 18 warships was led by General Lu Feng, and received an order from the Oriental Military Government to lead 1,400 sergeants, all the way to the coast, and sailed to Rio de Janeiro, the seat of the Brazilian Governor General in the opinion of the Oriental Military Government.

Lu Feng is the grandson of Lu Bo, the chief of Guangzhou Jiangwutang and the famous general of the anti-Japanese army, after graduating from Jiangwutang, he arrived in Changsheng with the Beiyang Banner Army, and then commanded the affairs as a general, and took charge of the Qilin Coastal Defense.

The military government gave them a strange order, saying that the situation in the Brazilian governor's residence was chaotic and that they were going to protect the local merchants.

Lu Feng's mind was clouded when he received the order...... The Oriental military government did not trade with Brazil, and they had no business or common people in Rio de Janeiro, and even the two limited exchanges were between the Brazilian and Portuguese themselves, and they brought as many goods as they did to go, and there was almost no contact.

Moreover, the order given to him was three thousand material ship formations, which was the same as the formation of the patrol fleet during the Nanyang Military Administration, one formation of six ships, three grain ships, two five hundred material warships, and one thousand material warships.

This method of organization is not for operations or expeditions, but for the purpose of firmly grasping a sea area, and at any time there is a formation resting in the port, a formation patrolling the coastal seas, and a formation patrolling the coast, with a full strength of 1,080 and 6,700 miles along the coast.

It is a formation that is only used to patrol their own coastal areas.

The order was urgent, and Lu Feng was not given much time to prepare, basically he received the order to leave Hong Kong, and the deadline was only three days.

But it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he hurriedly sent his subordinates out to knock on the door to door in the port of Qilinwei, and asked: Do you want to go to Brazil to do business.

He thinks that since the Oriental Military Government said that they should go to Brazil to protect the merchants and people, then there must be merchants and people of the Ming Dynasty in Brazil, even if there is no ...... Why don't he just bring some of it?

In the early years, Qilinwei was the place where Li Dan and Chen Jiujing were stationed, and brought a large number of businessmen from the Ming Dynasty to beg for a living here, the most famous of which were Li Dan and Shi Xiaolou, who invested in coastal fortifications and fortifications and fort lamps in Qilinwei together with a group of Fujian and Guangzhou businessmen.

It is not easy to find hundreds of merchants, but it is easy to find some businessmen's families, these children of merchants are at home on weekdays to help pick up goods, waiting for the merchant ship to return to unload and load, I have not learned home, but I also have a heart that yearns to sail away and make a great fortune.

As soon as Lu Feng's soldiers knocked on the door, the rest of the matter was almost a matter of course.

For the first time, 100 businessmen, 100 local people, and even some aborigines who like to follow the Ming immigrants around, took the Ming army warship that could only be watched from a distance for the first time, and went straight to Rio de Janeiro under the swaggering crane winged sails.

At this sensitive time, the news of the Ming ship's southward departure frightened the ports and colonies along the coast of Brazil.

But the real contact is not so terrible as it seems, every time they stop the ship along the way, there are veterans and young merchants ashore to look for Portuguese merchants and manor owners, under the trembling of the manor owner holding the cross, speaking unskilled Portuguese to inquire about the local specialties one by one, and take out several goods on board for display in turn, and ask about the price.

From fear to joy, the people called the slave laborers to bring out the same goods from the plantations, and finally the business was talked about and the guests and hosts were happy...... These Ming soldiers raised their heads and greeted them, and the young businessmen followed and left, and they couldn't even call.

Until they arrived in Rio de Janeiro.

The Portuguese soldiers here are much more cautious than in other places, and everyone knows that the envoy of General Chen of the Ming Oriental Military Mansion has been waiting here for more than three months, and no one dares to slack off.

Neither the previous emissaries nor the current fleet can afford to slack off.

To be sure, Chen Mu's envoy had a good time in Rio, and the Portuguese were only a clerk at the top of the list, who was responsible for compiling letters to El Salvador on the requests of the Oriental Military Administration.

He didn't say anything himself, so he didn't dare to care what the envoy was doing here, he just begged the envoy to stay here honestly, and then have everything.

No matter what you lack, whatever you want, whatever you want to do, you will take care of everything.

It's not really a Portuguese habit, it's just that they can't do it any other way...... If the messenger had been a French or an Englishman, they would have ignored him, and might have tied him to a boat and thrown him down to feed the fish after driving dozens of miles from the shore.

Don't look at this France is big on the map, but it really can't be coaxed, the fleet they sent here to seize the Brazilian colony has already wiped out the Portuguese several times, and even the so-called Antarctic France has not been wiped out.

But this messenger is a Ming man.

It doesn't even matter whether Da Ming is strong or not.

Unlike France and England, who had to cross the ocean, they could always take a boat to the coast and sail away.

It's not the same as war.

Just like the Ming Dynasty once faced the southern Japanese captives, the nomads in the north rode across the Great Wall and plundered and left, and the southern Japanese robbers came from the sea to rob you wherever they wanted - this is a problem that cannot be cured, unless a huge war is launched.

Let the Viceroyalty of Brazil, with less than 20,000 Portuguese, wage a war against the Oriental Military Administration?

The difference between direct collective self-slaughter and direct collective self-slaughter is nothing more than one fast and one slow.

From a distance, I saw the warship formation sailing over, and the six guns of the two forts in Rio fired a warning to the sea, and then the Ming warships continued to circle to the south, and the six grain ships slowly docked, explaining to the port the merchants' intentions and showing the goods, and the merchants disembarked at the protection of a group of flag troops.

Immediately afterwards, a 500-gauge warship sailed into the harbor and righteously proposed that all warships need to enter the bay to dock to protect the normal trade of merchants.

In Lu Feng's eyes, this step can actually be omitted.

There are only six Furlong cannons in the port shore defense guns, what are these things enough for? It is not even as powerful as the guns of a 500-gauge warship, especially when the garrison of the port does not even have 500 men, it is almost impossible to capture this port.

Fortunately, the harbor defenders did not force him to give the order to attack.

After the Ming army landed, they swaggered and seized the coastal defense positions where the six Franc cannons were located, and issued a joint defense order from the Oriental Military Office to the Governor's Palace, however...... The Governor did not come out.

It wasn't until Lu Feng ordered his subordinates to bring enough gunpowder to bury it in the four corners of the outer wall of the Governor's Palace, and to clean the outer wall of this complex building, that the clerk of the Brazilian Governor slowly walked out with his head hanging down with a thick cardboard notebook.

The Ming army, who was kept in the dark, finally knew...... The Governor General of Brazil, really not in Rio de Janeiro.
