"How can you kill him without trial!"

Pereira's roar came from behind him, and Chen Mu, who had been surrounded by family soldiers and walked out of the municipal yamen, turned his head, frowned at Pereira, and turned his head for a moment to continue walking.

Taking two steps, Chen Mu turned around and said, "He insulted me, why did I kill him?" ”

"He was a nobleman, and he was eligible to pay a ransom even if he was captured in battle." Pereira paused, and then stood behind the human wall formed by Li Dan's subordinates and said loudly: "How can you kill him directly!" ”

Everything happened too quickly, although Pereira expected Da Vega's disrespectful words, he thought that Chen Mu would not let this matter be simply revealed, and maybe he would pull him out of the municipal yamen and hit the board in the way of a Ming man, but he didn't expect to use a gun to kill Da Vega with his handcuff like the latest flintlock pistol of the extreme Westerners.

Da Vega, who crossed the ocean from Lisbon and served in India and obtained the status of the head of the Macao army with his excellent command ability, died seven days after landing without knowing enough about the new continent east of Malacca.

But Pereira, as the leader of Haojing, has no choice, they have no power here, even if there are hundreds of Portuguese and thousands of Christians on this small island, but this does not seem to be a bargaining chip to threaten Chen Mu.

Now, hundreds of sailors outside the municipal yamen are holding swords and guns, blocking a few Portuguese in the yamen, and people have nothing to do.

"I could have been immortal, but I know that I can't get the right to trade in Malacca, it's not up to you to decide. If he could respect me as you do, I would respect him as I would you, but unfortunately he didn't. ”

Chen Mu's face was full of reason when he said this, and now his suppressed heart was much soothed because of his confession, and he raised his hand to heaven and said: "This land is not under the jurisdiction of your king, so there is no nobleman, he is not a merchant or a businessman, and he doesn't even have any identity, I just hope you understand the fact that Haojing is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and this matter will never change, unless you send troops to occupy here." ”

"Don't forget, since you captured the Ming vassal state Manchu Thorn, how many years have we been fighting? For 60 years, there was no truce, no one conceded defeat, and although trade was opened in Ho Jing, it was only for merchants to trade, country to country, and there was no truce. ”

"General Chen!"

Bishop Carneiro, who was over fifty years old, wore glasses and a wide priest's robe to squeeze out of the crowd, but was stopped by Li Dan's strong black sailor, who opened his hand and shouted Chen Mu's name. Seeing Pereira speechless, Chen Mu, who was about to leave, turned his head again, waved his hand a little annoyingly: "Let him come over, what's the matter with the bishop?" ”

"You're saying something wrong."

The white-bearded Bishop Haojing squeezed through the crowd, stood three steps away from Chen Mu and straightened his robe, and then said to Chen Mu: "I must tell you that in our teachings, Noah is not a gift from the Lord, but a guide from the Lord to guide our ancestors to build it and survive. ”

"You're right, maybe you don't want others as you want yourself, but the Lord is with us, and Daviga doesn't have a protector like you to protect him, but we also have people who are willing to give their lives for others! The Lord guides me - to duel with you! ”

As he spoke, Carneiro, who was already old, took off his clergyman's robe, revealing his mottled half-plated armor, still holding the Bible in his left hand and the cross still hanging on his chest, and said, "Give me a long sword, and the shepherd will protect his lamb even in the face of a tiger!" ”

Chen Mu suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, raising his arm high and giving orders: "Get out of the way!" Give him a long sword! ”

Outside the municipal yamen, no matter what Fanhan exclaimed, no one thought that the commander would be willing to accept the challenge of Yiyiren, whether it was Li Danhuayu or Long Junxiong, competing to replace Chen Mu in the battle.

Of course, Chen Mu didn't plan to compare swords with Canelo normally.

Just as the sword fell into Canelo's hand, Chen Mu's other hand was also in his hand, pointing at Canelo within a few steps, and then pulling the trigger without hesitation.

Bang!

The voice was crisp, and the handcuff fired the lead shot at a short distance and threw the long sword out of his hand, and stuck it obliquely in the soil not far away, Chen Mu smiled with the handcuff that was still smoking, "Shepherd, the victory and defeat have been divided...... But I kind of like your church, haha! ”

"If your governor agrees to my request for seven merchant ships, I will allow you to come to my yamen and give a lecture on your teachings, and I would like to hear it."

The two handcuffs were thrown to the family to charge the medicine, Chen Mu, who turned over and got on the horse, raised his horsewhip, and finally looked around the entire municipal square, leaned over slightly and said, "Ascetic, maybe you will become the new pope in the future." ”

Chen Mu smiled happily than ever, and after giving Li Dan the matter of coordinating with the three departments and hundreds of households to block the port and arrange for Pinto to board the ship to Malacca, he went all the way north under the escort of the family soldiers and riders.

The news that Haojing was blocked by three hundred households spread all over Xiangshan very quickly, and the news that Chen Mu convened five departments and thousands of households to discuss the meeting caused an uproar within the entire Nanyangwei.

Summoning five departments and thousands of households, there is only one purpose, to train troops.

"General, whether this time is improper, there is no disobedience to the lowly position." Deng Zilong hugged his fists and said: "The general has just been impeached by the speech officer, but at this time he wants to raise troops and make a big fight with the Portuguese Yi, once the speech officer knows, I am afraid that Guangzhong's remarks are very powerful, and the Guangxi military affairs are not peaceful. ”

Deng Zilong was very worried, and Sun Ao and Huang Dexiang's reactions were similar, basically looking too lazy to say too much to Chen Mu - and let this master toss, anyway, he didn't listen.

At this time, he can best see who is a real talent, Deng Zilong thinks the most, from Guangzhou Mansion to Liangguang and even the entire government and the opposition, he has a vague understanding; And Huang Dexiang and Sun Ao have both a little understanding and not enough to refute Chen Mu.

As for the remaining two thousand households, Shao Tingda and Shi Qi's reactions were almost similar, Shi Qi listened to Chen Mu's words and responded with his fists, and the elder brother Shao Tingda hugged his fists and said to several thousand households: "Guangcheng fought Zeng, you all went to war, Brother Mu asked me to look at the old governor, there is no war exploits, what happened?" Thousands of households in Shunde. Don't care what Brother Mu says, it's definitely right! ”

"Do you dare to hit the mirror? Dare. ”

Chen Mu was made to laugh and cry by Shao Tingda's words, waved his hand to let a few people sit down, and then continued: "But is he willing to fight me?" Unwilling. This trade is so important to them that they buy goods from Ho Kyong at a high price, but these things can be shipped west of Malacca for five times ten times the windfall profits, and if there is a war, they will get nothing. ”

"Most likely, they will be towed, given a quota for one boat, or five, at most no more than ten, just this number, they can't fight."

"Just like Chen Mou thought about who to find to make up for the gap in the Haojing lottery before deciding whether to go to war or not, the Portuguese governor on the other side of the sea is also thinking about this matter, and the difference is that Chen can make up for it, and he-can't make up for it!"
