218 Envoy from Macao
In the office of the mayor of Bengang, Li Tianyang met with Father Felix and Major James.
"Honorable Chief Li Tianyang, Lower Officer James, subordinate to the Major of the Defense Force of the Macau Council, on behalf of my Portuguese and Macao Council, I would like to convey our respect to you, and at the same time prepare a slight salute, please smile!" The first time you see Li Tianyang's true face, you will inevitably be shocked by his too young age, but James experienced frequent battles, and immediately came back to his senses, with a bit of a military attitude, introducing himself neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Hello, friend from afar." Li Tianyang had a friendly smile on his face, even with the introduction of Father Felix, he also only politely sent the Macao messenger: "Thank you for the gift, last time I had the honor to go to Macau, although I met such wise people as Father Julius and Father Felix, but I didn't have the opportunity to meet the senior management of your council, it's a pity!" β
Li Tianyang didn't expect that there would be a chance to receive gifts from the high-level of Macau, who would have thought that after his attack on Macau, these Portuguese in Macao would take the initiative to come to the door, but this world is so unexpected!
Hearing Li Tianyang's words, James's face froze, he knew a lot about the way the high-level of the Portuguese Council of Macau knew a lot, and he couldn't hear the slight contempt and ridicule in Li Tianyang's words: "It's our negligence, we don't know Mount Tai with our eyes, and I ask Chief Li to forgive me." β
Li Tianyang is just used to going smoothly, so he has not been allowed to enter the high-level people in Macao, and the resentment in his heart cannot be concealed and revealed. At this time, seeing that the envoy of the other country was in such a posture, where did he really dare to destroy the atmosphere, he hurriedly replied: "Where is it, I also understand that people like the speaker of the parliament have a lot of affairs to deal with every day, so it is inevitable that they will not be able to spare time. β
"Just like me, this time I went out for ten days and a half and was not in the town, but it was a sin to make you wait for a long time, Major!"
"The leader is polite, and we blame ourselves for coming at the wrong time, where can we complain about the leader!" James saw that Li Tianyang did not mean to blame, and his heart was somewhat settled.
"I wonder why the Major came to our desert island this time?" Li Tianyang asked knowingly, even if Yumo didn't greet him in advance, just by guessing, it was not difficult for Li Tianyang to guess the meaning of others.
"A month ago, I was attacked by a group of fanatics of unknown origin in Macau, I wonder if Chief Li has heard of it?" To tell the truth, as a soldier, James has always been accustomed to acting resolutely, and it is really a little difficult for him to be so cautious and carefree as he is now, so when Li Tianyang pretended to ask, he did not hesitate to say what he meant.
"I've heard a little, I didn't expect that someone else ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dare to tease your Franc Jiren's ass, presumably they won't end well!" Li Tianyang couldn't cry or laugh, as the initiator, he himself began to curse himself, and there was a lot of meaning that he couldn't live because of his own evil.
"Although I have suffered a lot of losses in Macau, but in a hurry to fight, it is to let this group of madmen escape, because the most ferocious group among them seems to be from the side of the Oriental Japanese Kingdom, so my Macau Council imagines that Chief Li will inquire about it, I don't know if you Hongtang have heard that there is an Eastern Japanese in any of the bandits?" The Portuguese sphere of influence in the Far East was only in the area of Daming and Macao, and the movements in other places were really beyond their control with their little manpower, so they decided to seek help from other powerful forces.
"Well, now that the Japanese are unified, there are few Japanese people who come from outside to join our Ming Haikou group, as far as I can see, except for Li Dan, a sea merchant whose nest is in the area of Nagasaki and Hirado, I'm afraid that there are no other Japanese people in their hands, even our Hongtang, there is no Japanese existence now!" Li Tianyang's words, in addition to hiding the Japanese team in his team who suddenly joined his command, the others are mostly things that their intelligence organization has learned, so there is nothing wrong with it, and I think that with the Portuguese intelligence system, in fact, it can be collected.
Sure enough, when James heard what Li Tianyang said, his eyes darkened, and he returned to normal in an instant: "Then I wonder if in this month, Chief Li, your Hongtang, has found any traces of the Japanese people, or the traces of my three Portuguese sea ships?" β
"I'm sorry, but I want to ask me this question, Wu Shu Wu, the battalion commander of Hongtang Bengang No. 1!" Li Tianyang pretended to be pretending, and someone went to call Wu Shu over and pretended to ask.
Wu Shu, who was also pretending to be confused, replied respectfully in front of James: "This Japanese maritime merchant, there are always so many ships coming and going between my Ming coast and the Japanese country every month, and they abide by the rules set by my Hongtang, and there are no other evil deeds, so we are not embarrassed." β
"As for the three Western-looking sea vessels, we have not seen any trace of them in the Penghu area in the past month."
"Look, I'm really sorry, we really haven't seen the bandits and your plundered ships mentioned by the major!" Li Tianyang turned his head and looked at Major James embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter, this gang of maniacs must know that they have committed a big crime, and they are hiding on some remote island around. However, I hope that Chief Li will pay more attention to the movements in the surrounding waters for us, and at the same time, if I find traces of thieves, I hope that I can inform the Macao Council. The so-called clichΓ©, in the face of the information revealed by Li Tianyang's team, which was no different from what they had in their own hands, James inevitably felt a little gloomy, but then returned to normal: "Of course, if Leader Li is willing to send troops to strangle this gang of thieves for us, it will naturally be better." As long as Chief Li can provide us with enough information or evidence in Macao, I will never forget your kindness, and you will gain the lifelong friendship of our Portuguese! β
James's words are good, but in fact, this time he came to Bengang, in addition to asking for Bengang's help, he also came to find out the truth of Bengang.
As one of the closest gangs to Macau, Li Tianyang's team will be suspicious of the Portuguese. In addition, at the time of the accident, the warships of the Hongtang forces frequently appeared in the waters around Macao, which attracted people's attention.
However, after coming to Bengang, James dispelled a lot of suspicions, one was that when Bengang Yumo and other high-level officials were surprised by this news, and Father Felix They were adamant that there was no trace of a group of widows in Hongtang, which really made James unable to find the slightest clue that Hongtang was involved in this matter.
"Please rest assured Major, and convey our Hongtang's sincerity, as long as we Hongtang discovers the traces of this gang of thieves, we will immediately escort this gang of maniacs to you and let you deal with it!!" Li Tianyang opened his eyes and continued to talk nonsense.
