The old man with glasses, the Portuguese explorer Pinto has returned.

Riding on a brig clipper, the Portuguese captain shelled the Xiangshan warship cruising overseas off the coast of Haojing, and then undoubtedly heard the news and rushed two shark ships to bombard the leaky water line with ten pounds of gunfire, and five pounds of gunfire against a warship of this level can easily win even if it is one-on-one, let alone three shark ships.

The brig was missed, and Pinto, who was already sixty-one years old, was lucky not to be injured in the artillery battle, and when he fell into the sea and was fished up, he was extremely embarrassed, constantly shouting that there was no idea of war and was escorted to Haojing.

The artillery battle near the sea caused the Haojing Fort to fire a warning shot, and the sound reached Xiangshan, and the coastal fort of Xiangshan, which did not know the truth, fired cannons one after another, sending out scouting horses, causing the entire Nanyang Guard to be policed.

What is really fortunate is that Chen Mu has full confidence in the combat strength of the flag army under his command, and did not order anyone to light the beacon fire, otherwise it would be a joke to cause the Guangzhou police to fire a cannon from an arrogant captain, and then lead people to impeach.

On the shore of Haojing, Yang Yinglong, who rushed over with Chen Mu to see the excitement, opened his eyes, and looked left and right around Pinto and a few Fanyi sailors who were half-dead by the sea water and kept spitting water, very curious.

"I'll see later, there are many foreigners on the island, and you'll see them later." Chen Mu pulled away Yang Yinglong, who was blocking the front, and asked Pinto, "What about the captain?" Dare to hit my boat. ”

The naval artillery battle did not last long, and the brig that was close to sinking only had eight Fran cannons, which could not penetrate the shark ship, but it still suffered casualties on the flag army, two of them died and one of them fell into the water and could not be found.

Because of the loss of his glasses, Pinto, who was wrapped in canvas for warmth, kept squinting his eyes, and the expression on his face was more complicated: "The captain is dead, this is not the order of the governor, he wants to test on a whim whether the general's warship is as strong as the general's temper, alas! ”

"The Governor had no intention of going to war with the General, and he promised to allow the General's fleet to trade in Malacca, but not more than ten ships, and no more than five hundred sailors to trade in Malacca."

Pinto thinks that damn captain is completely insane!

It's not good to do anything, just sail from Malacca to Ho Kung and send him here, you have to mess with this devil.

"Tell me what your governor says." As Chen Mu spoke, someone put the wooden box behind him, sat down and ordered Deng Zilong: "Send the fleet to continue patrolling, don't leak the Portuguese warships, be careful is a delaying strategy." ”

It's a little too easy, and that's it, everything he wants is at his fingertips?

Ten merchant ships went to Malacca for trade, and a horse of silk bought from Canton to Malacca could get thirty times the profit, and there was quite a big battle in front of it, and the result was like this?

It's so unreal.

"The kingdom is fighting everywhere, but we have no intention of fighting the Ming Kingdom, even if the general has to advance an inch." Probably the old man is always a little bolder than the young man who has little knowledge, Pinto pointed out Chen Mu without any taboo, and said: "If there is a possibility of rebuilding the old one, the governor is willing to use his personal power to get the general to obtain this concession route, but the governor needs the general's honorary guarantee." ”

"Guarantee what?"

"This is only a verbal guarantee from a private person, and there is no need for any written document between the Governor of Malacca and the General." Pinto looked around, and after confirming that he did not see any faces of Westerners, he cautiously said to Chen Mu: "The general is the ruler of the Ming Kingdom in Haojing, we need you to make a commitment, this should be under the witness of the priest and the Lord, in view of the fact that the general is not a believer of the Lord, please make a promise in the honor of your ancestors - Haojing cannot trade with the Francos of Luzon." ”

Chen Mu smiled, although he wanted to look serious, but he didn't hold back.

He bet correctly, but still knowingly asked: "The Francois of Luzon is not of the same mind as you?" ”

"This, in fact, is one heart." Pinto was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to explain their relationship with Spain to Chen Mu, and said: "They used to be our suzerain, just like Manchu Jia did to the Ming Dynasty, but our relationship has changed, this is our trade range, they occupy Luzon is already very excessive, we can't let them come to Haojing anymore, can the general guarantee it?" ”

Of course Chen Mu understands the relationship, the king of Spain, Philip II, named Luzon the Philippines, it seems that the Portuguese are also dissatisfied with this, he said happily: "I will not guarantee this, because no one can occupy Haojing, this is the land of the Ming Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, I still need your guarantee." ”

"When Ho Ho Mirror faces a foreign enemy, no matter where the people come from, the Ho Ho Ho Mirror Portuguese must stand with me and attack them."

The Ming Dynasty used 60 long years and many wars to help them establish a correct concept of the state, and now it seems that equal education is still quite a failure.

"You can send someone to tell your Governor that ten merchant ships will arrive in Malacca this year, hoping that they will be properly cared for and dealt fairly, and that what kind of care they will receive in Malacca will be how the Portuguese will be cared for in Ho Kyo."

Chen Mu left with a smile, walked a few steps and turned back, patted his phoenix wings and said, "Forgot, the captain of the brig that attacked the imperial navy without authorization is dead, and the ship and everything on board belong to me, no problem, right?" ”

"Also, three of my banner soldiers have been killed and missing, and the bereavement should be paid by you. Thirty crouzados, divided equally from the income of Portuguese merchants this year, are you okay? ”

Pinto ignored Chen Mu, holding the cross on his chest with his eyes closed, the old man didn't want to say a word to Chen Mu at all, it seemed that if he said one more word, he would be led to a catastrophe by this demon.

Of course, Chen Mu didn't expect him to answer, as long as a consensus was reached, it didn't matter if there was a voice to respond.

"If you don't have an opinion, if you have an opinion, go to the mailbox at the entrance of the municipal government to write a letter." Chen Mu said very seriously: "I'll watch it—let's go!" ”

Yang Yinglong was not stunned or anything, he was an uncle wherever he went, but he was a little timid in Haojing, and his eyes kept circulating from Yiren and the sea warship and Chen Mu's face, like looking at monsters, until Chen Mu reminded him, he followed and whispered as he walked: "What is that gram, is it their money?" Er's small state, so worthless, why are you doing business with them? ”

"Worthless? It's worth a lot of money. Chen Mu took out a gold coin from his waist and handed it to Yang Yinglong, saying, "One of them is worth one, two, four, or five dollars." ”

Yang Yinglong took the gold coin and looked at it, his eyes widened when he heard the sound, and he looked at Chen Mu in surprise: "The bereavement of the servants, do you want forty or fifty taels of bereavement?" ”

"We are poor, where can we compare to Banzhou Xuanwei Division so rich, Chen's money is all deducted." Chen Mu gave an order to Long Junxiong, the head of the family, while suffering from poverty: "Tell the little flag of the fallen flag army, this time it was Chen who caused the trouble, and the family of the fallen flag army will send five taels to each person, and the remaining two ships of flag troops participating in the naval battle will be rewarded with one tael each." ”

"Eh, have you seen the captured boat, the sea boat, it's good, do you want it?" Chen Mu turned his head to Yang Yinglong and said, "I will dismantle all the cannons and unload them, repair them, and sell you one hundred and fifty taels." ”
