"Set sail and set off !!"

The three warships sailed away in the continuous artillery fire on the city wall, facing the newly rising sun, leaving the long sail shadows of the foreigners on the opposite side.

Even before leaving, the special combat team members dug out ammunition from the ship's storage and loaded it into the guns equipped with the three seagoing ships.

By the time the foreigners emerged from their bunkers one by one, the three ships were left with pitch-black shadows, about to disappear on the sea level.

The foreigners' sea boats were already scarce, and at this time, the special combat team plundered the only three sea ships docked at the wharf, so even if the foreign sailors wanted to chase them out, there were only a few small sea boats on the wharf that could not be parked in the remote area of the wharf, and it would not help anything.

Macau's first governor Carlo has not yet taken office, so Macau is still in the hands of the Macau Council, a team formed by Portuguese businessmen. When the Macau Assembly was formed more than 30 years ago, there were only seven members, but now it has expanded to 13 members, but because businessmen often come and go, it is unlikely that they will be stationed in Macau for a long time. Therefore, the council adopts a system of rotation in power.

This year's Speaker is Sir Karslov, the bald middle-aged man who ran out in a panic at night.

"Tell me, what did you find out? Can't you even figure out which bastards are in trouble with us now? Sir Karslov now descended from the safety of the altar and faced the devastated battlefield and the ruined exchanges, and lashed out at the mid-ranking officers who commanded the battle at night.

The commander was actually blinded himself, and according to his feelings and knowledge, the formidable enemy they faced was definitely a group of Japanese from the far east; However, the sailors who escaped from the pier said that the pier was attacked by hundreds of soldiers dressed in Ming Dynasty, so everyone was arguing there.

"I'm sorry, sir, my subordinates are incompetent, please do it in military law!" Feeling so ashamed that the commanding officer turned pale and had to confess to Sir.

"Military law, military law, can you have some other use besides these, what we need now is to quickly find out what the origin of this group of daring fanatics is? And then what are we going to do about this and the implications of it? Sir Karslov shook his head, staring at the officer in front of him with iron-clad eyes, and did not accept his pleas at all.

It is also said that Portugal is too far away from the Far Eastern mainland, and every Portuguese living in Macao is a valuable asset, so how can it be possible to cut off his arm at this time and imprison the few military commanders in Macao today.

When the officer heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said what he had gained and thought during this period of time: "Regardless of whether this gang of robbers is a Japanese or a Ming person, since they have robbed our "Maria" and other sea ships, then along the way, they will naturally leave traces, after all, the difference between our Western sea ships and Eastern sea ships is so big that they can be recognized by the naked eye!" ”

"Then do you want to report to the Xiangshan County Ya of the Ming Dynasty and let them help deal with it?" Sir asked again.

"Don't, sir, after this incident, we must show our strength to the outside world, and we can't let people see that we are of course cowardly!" The officer hurriedly dissuaded: "Now the Spaniards and the Dutch, who is not us occupying Macao, occupying most of the vast and rich and waiting for the Ming trade." Perhaps, in this attack, there were their instigation and provocation, otherwise with the courage of these pirates, it is estimated that they would not dare to do such a thing. Even if they snatched three sea ships, no one would dare to take over this thief except for our opponents! ”

"Well, that's right, so what do you think we should do at this point?" Jazz thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"First of all, sir, you need to visit St. Paul's Church and wait for Father Julius, because I heard that they Jesuits have a good relationship with the Hongtang pirates, who are now the overlords of the Penghu and Ryukyu seas. Since there are Japanese people in this gang of bandits, then they must also come from the east, maybe there will be some clues in this Hongtang. ”

"If this Hongtang really finds out about the situation, sir, you might as well ask for their help with a lot of money, and use the strength of this Ming man to avenge my Macau!"

"Doesn't that show that my Portugal is weak and bullying, and my strength is not enough?"

"This is the second suggestion I would like to make to Sir Brother, that you write to gather all my Portuguese sea-going ships and sailors on the Far Eastern Continent, and assemble them in the harbor of Macao, that we may fill our emptiness and not be taken advantage of by the enemy!"

"To tell the truth, our strength in Macao itself is indeed empty, this time there are 27 soldiers killed, 44 sailors, and 36 seriously wounded, accounting for about 1/3 of the manpower we can use today, and our Macao garrison has been disabled under the First World War. It cannot but be said that this attack is actually a wake-up call to our Macao, which has developed smoothly in recent years, which has made our defense lax, our armaments have been abolished late, and the troops stationed in Macao are no longer enough to guarantee the interests of our empire in the Far East! The officer said Xiang Xiang as he could, but he couldn't help but rejoice that they had encountered only a group of thieves seeking money, and if they had met opponents like Spain and the Netherlands last night, I am afraid that they would never have left as easily as last night.

"This matter is indeed imminent, I think that there are only three or four of the thirteen members of the Macau Council who are resident here!!" Sir also lamented that if their Portuguese ships and sailors had stayed here on the Far East route, no one would have dared to attack them at the risk of the world.

At this time, Wu Jie and Li Tianyang, who were far away, did not expect that their risky move now would have a significant impact on the distribution of combat power among the entire foreign forces, and even affect the combat power layout of the Portuguese in the next few years.

However, Li Tianyang knows these things, I am afraid they will not care, in the eyes of these local snakes, foreigners are strong, but they work hard and come from afar, and the defeat of a major war may mean that the foreigners of their country must withdraw from the rich territory of the Far East in the short term. This is also Li Tianyang's daring to risk being discovered, and he is stunned to provoke and rob the Portuguese in Macau!

With Hongtang's current strength and status, no matter which country's foreigners, before the war, they have to weigh and weigh it, is it worth it!

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family!!
