Tang Juan could not have imagined that at the same time that he submitted to Chen Mu to go to Macao to check the Portuguese leased land, Chen Mu led the entire Nanyang Military Government and had already begun to plan the dispatch of the Spanish Seville Ming leased land.

It may be enough for the future merchants to only speak Chinese, but the subordinates sent in advance must be able to speak the language of the Iberian Peninsula, which determines that the Ming officials who sailed to Spain for the first time are likely to be commoners.

Chen Mu often kicked the sand on the coast and looked into the distance, and he had to admit that in the great idea of obtaining overseas leases for the first time for the Ming Dynasty, the manpower to be relied on to realize it was likely to be carefully selected scum.

Tang Juan went to Macao with the warrant of the Nanyang Military Government, and originally planned to send a few flag soldiers to follow Tang Juan to visit it, but Tang Juan only walked to Macao for two days, and the news sent from Macao reached Chen Mu's hands, and he could only leave for Haojing.

The Portuguese governor in India sent a letter and sent an envoy to Malacca and the Indian Ming Ship, hoping to sign a treaty with Chen Mu.

After receiving the news, Chen Mu didn't say a word, handed over the affairs of the military government to Gao Gong, and the training of troops was under the sole responsibility of Zhang Shijue, the temporary governor of Xu Wei, and boarded the Chihai ship and chased Tang Juan's tail to Haojing.

"I've been waiting for almost a year, but it's time to give the letter!"

The Portuguese Governor of India sent people to do not do anything else, it was still the request of Chen Mu to send people to open the Ming ship route in Malacca and even Goa in the past, although later the Indian Governor vaguely allowed the Ming ship to pass through Malacca, but the matter was not formally settled, and this time he sent someone to sign the treaty, which was a good thing for Chen Mu.

"It's too much to think about coming to Portugal."

Staff member Xu Wei held on to the side of the boat and smiled heartily, and said to Chen Mu: "I thought that the Portuguese were going to sign a treaty this time, and it should be for our business." ”

"It must be restricted, they have a new governor, and the surname is Anthony, but it is not called Denoronia, it is called Monisbarreto, this person is very clear in the letter." Chen Mu nodded to Xu Wei and said, "He called this treaty the matter of arming merchant ships to Malacca, which is very revealing, armed merchant ships." ”

Perhaps in the eyes of others, an armed merchant ship is a merchant ship, but in Chen Mu's eyes, an armed merchant ship is an armed ship.

Since the issuance of the overseas edict of Emperor Longqing, overseas Ming people, regardless of merchants and pirates, all those who worked for the Nanyang military government have been pardoned, and they can enter the customs with military government orders without punishment, and a large number of good and bad merchants and pirates have returned to the embrace of the imperial court.

Not many of these people dared to return to Fujian and Guangzhou, and even if they had returned to their hometowns, they were still uneasy, and most of them still lived in Luzon and other countries.

The courage of the Ming merchants and Jia to open up is slightly less than that of the maritime merchants of the Western Kingdom, they are all people who are safe, follow the army, where the army goes, their trade routes will be opened, but a large number of Ming pirates are different, except for Lin Feng, Lin Daoqian, Shi He and other people who were pirates in the past and are now officers, everyone else is the Ming army wherever they go, they try to avoid it.

As soon as Malacca opened the blockade of the Ming boats, there was no need for Chen Mu's request, and they drove the ships to the west of Malacca one by one.

Some of them held the official positions of naval divisions of the Nanyang countries, and some were the exclusive merchants of the Nanyang lords, and through the purchase of ordnance from the Nanyang military government by the countries, they carried a small number of private firearms to arm their own unprecedentedly powerful merchant fleet.

Out of Malacca to hang the Ming dragon flag, into Malacca to hang the Nanyang flag, overseas to see the Portuguese hanging the Ming flag no one dare to provoke, the east of Malacca saw the Ming army said that he is Luzon, Borneo countries merchant ships, Chen Mu has long known the style of these people, even those flowing out of the arquebus, Zhenshuo general cannon and 200 shark boats, are all sold at his behest.

The Portuguese Indian Viceroyalty sent several dissatisfied letters to Hao Jing, but Chen Mu ignored them, and in his words: "In the sea area under my jurisdiction, I have the final say on the sea, if I really can't control it, the sea is free, and you can't manage it." ”

He wanted the Portuguese to beg him to garrison them.

This is also the reason why the new Viceroy of India sent him a letter and he got on board and sailed for Ho Kyong, and now it was time for the Viceroy of India to beg him to garrison troops to Malacca and west of Malacca.

"Does Chen Shuai want the dove to occupy the magpie's nest, or ......?"

Doves occupy the magpie's nest?

Chen Mu glanced at Xu Wei angrily and said, "Mr. Xu is rich and has five cars, why don't you say a good word?" ”

Xu Wei thought for a while, blinked at Chen Mu and said, "Sit back and enjoy it?" Fisherman's profit? Sit on the ground and seek perfection? Nothing to gain? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's called mutual benefit."

Chen Mu, who was sitting on the deck steps, was amused by Xu Wei, took a sip of a coconut, and said: "All countries are the most powerful in Xiyi, and today they have successively defeated the news of the Westerners, and Pinto sent a message to inform the Governor of India that the Portuguese army is not as strong as Xiyi, and they dare to fight against me?" ”

"He doesn't dare, then we will make friends, like in the past, what we need, the Portuguese businessmen will send what to Haojing, even if it takes a big circle for a year, the American silver we want will still be sent to Chen, but this is not enough."

"The vast land is in the hands of the Portuguese, and they can't even manage the use of a few trading posts; The Spaniards were in charge, they only knew how to kill, rob, and take. Have you heard Dan'er say that when Salcedo wanted to rebel against him, he promised to go to Canton Mansion and see the land on both sides of the first river to him. ”

"That's the Pearl River, they have no choice, there are fewer people and more resources, so that their soldiers and scholars have more learning opportunities than our people, and it is easier to manage. But they don't have a large enough bureaucracy, and they don't have officials who have studied hard for ten years to educate the people, so they can only turn the occupied land into a feudal feud for the nobility during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ”

"It's different if we go, set up townships, counties, governments, provinces, measure the land, organize households, build roads, reclaim canals, and set up canals for irrigation, we have to stay for a long time."

As he spoke, Chen Mu changed his words and asked Xu Wei: "Mr. Xu, you said that the whole of Guangdong, how big a market is needed to force a large area of it to use steamers, and the cotton cloth and silk produced by those few health offices are enough for the Nanyang countries from the nobles to the heads of Qian. ”

Xu Wei knew that Chen Mu had always wanted to make Guangdong produce more things, and he was surprised: "Chen Shuai wants merchants to use steamers, so he directly orders a letter, why do you do such a thankless thing." ”

"It is thankless to give a direct order, what if they all use steamers, there is no place to sell the cotton cloth produced, and if they can't make money, the people will not spontaneously improve the steamer, the technology will not rise, and the steamer will always be a steamer for weaving."

Chen Mu put down the coconut and smiled, and said: "This treaty, I want to take Malacca and India, and the Ming pirates can go to Arabia to meet the Ottomans...... What a market! ”
