Sweat kept dripping from Maaskar Luye's forehead. He was temporarily carried away, but what he brought to him was the questioning of the general of this ancient country. And unlike India, this country has a strong military force, and The current state of this fleet is fully capable of annihilating the Portuguese in Macau.

"Sir, please listen to my explanation!" Mascara was also anxious and didn't know how to deal with it, but he knew that he must stabilize first and not let the situation continue to deteriorate.

However, Shen Yourong was not so easy to get along with. He glanced sideways at him and asked disdainfully, "Who are you?"

Although he did not bring an interpreter, Hong Chengchou did, and he was a Chinese. The interpreter had already understood the status of the old man in front of him during the conversation between the two parties. He was a high-ranking official two levels higher than his employer. , and they are also among the few generals in the army.

Before Hong Chengchou could speak, the interpreter began to chirp and translate Shen Yourong's words. Hearing the question, Mashakar was stunned and subconsciously replied, "I am the Governor of Macau and am responsible for the defense of Macau."

"Governor of Macau? Who appointed him?"

"The Governor of Portugal and India..."

“Who appointed the Governor-General of Portugal and India?”

"King of Portugal!"

"Which country is Portugal? Has he been canonized by the Ming Dynasty? Did he get the permission of the Ming Emperor to appoint officials privately on the land of the Ming Dynasty?"

A series of quick questions and answers directly confused Maascaru, especially the last question, how should he answer it?

Could it be that for this general, we did not get the permission of the Ming Emperor, and these positions were established privately by himself, and it was only because he bribed officials in Guangdong that he turned a blind eye.

If he really answered like this, I am afraid that the general would be even more furious. Therefore, he had no choice but to explain in an evasive manner, "General, we have the permission of the local government and the permission of the Ming Emperor for us to live again."

"Then how did you get this position? Do you have the imperial title and official status?" Shen Yourong was reluctant. He didn't know where Portugal was and couldn't control it, but Macau was in front of him, and in his mind , Although this group of barbarians in Macau are powerful, the chieftains in Sichuan and Yunnan are also powerful. Aren't they also required to accept the canonization of the empire? They are no exception.

"Sir General..." Mascara Road was also waiting to say something. However, at this time, a large group of Portuguese people came to the pier, including Jesuit priests and businessmen from the Council.

The fleet of the Ming Dynasty is so huge that as long as it is on the island, there is no one who cannot see it. Even if it cannot be seen, someone will notify it. Through word of mouth, the Portuguese people on the entire island know that the Ming Dynasty has a powerful fleet. The fleet is now anchored overseas, watching eagerly. I heard that the new governor had a conflict with the other party.

As a result, the two local Jesuits and the leaders of the Council hurried over. They were secretly happy when they saw that Mascara was at a loss for words, and then they approached him in an attempt to strike up a conversation and establish a relationship.

only……

"Who are you?" Shen Yourong glared sideways at a businessman.

"I am a big businessman in Portugal, the head of the local council..." The fat businessman introduced himself with a smile.

"Businessman? Have you filed a lawsuit with the government?"

The businessman retreated!

"Who are you?" Shen Yourong looked at the thin priest and his attitude became better.

"I am a Jesuit priest and I am here to meet His Majesty the Ming Emperor. It is an honor to meet you, the powerful General Shen. Your fleet is beautiful and powerful. I dare say that no one in Nanyang can be his opponent. "The priest is very elegant and knowledgeable. He also knows the Ming Dynasty very well.

Being wise, he has already seen that this general does not want to entangle with the permission order, he just comes to show his authority. In the Ming Dynasty, this seems to be called... a show of authority!

Perhaps, the behavior of the local Portuguese was a bit excessive. The priest secretly guessed in his heart that he was not a Portuguese, but an Italian. He did not care about the status of Macau. He only cared about whether he could get anything from this general. Some information and hobbies of the great emperor.

The words of the Jesuit priests are deeply pleasing to Shen Yourong. This is a matter of course, and it is different from the council composed of businessmen. The focus of the Jesuits is to spread the faith, and it must be integrated into the local cultural environment. Especially in a country as powerful as Ming Dynasty.

The beliefs they uphold are different, so the results of communication will naturally be very different. For an old-fashioned military commander like Shen Yourong, he prefers scholars and intellectuals like priests. He will despise the governor who reprimands a military general, and will despise himself. He is the head of the business council, but he will never look down on the priests.

"Haha, this priest is right." As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. The priest slapped the horse as soon as he came up, which naturally made Shen Yourong feel comfortable. Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, this kind of Your attitude shows the other person's respect for you.

What's more, now the emperor is vigorously recruiting priests from various countries to enrich his scientific and technological strength. The emperor's attention also makes Shen Yourong look at them with admiration. He also wants to learn from them, so the priests come forward and meet them. After walking down the stairs, Shen Yourong stopped being aggressive.

He knew about the affairs in Macau, but it was not his turn to take care of it. The emperor could not have been unaware of the group of Westerners living in his own land. Since the emperor had not spoken, there was naturally a reason to keep them.

"General, please come inside to do some cooking and have a meal, and we'll take care of you." The priest smiled, and Shen Yourong gave him face, which also made his face look bright.

"OK."

As a result, the two parties held hands and walked towards the community, talking and laughing. With the mediation of the Jesuit priests, the atmosphere between the two parties was always relaxed, and Shen Yourong finally began to have normal exchanges with the local Portuguese soldiers. Of course, the main method is to ask Shen Yourong and the other party to answer. Although Ming is no stranger to things on the ocean, it has fallen behind after so many years.

This kind of exchange is naturally the accumulation of experience.

While talking and laughing, the Imperial Navy fleet naturally restrained its weapons. The entire fleet disbanded the battle line formation and then docked one after another. Among them, seven or eight destroyers came out of the team and continued to move towards Lingding Yang. , their goal is Guangzhou Port, where they will collect local water pattern data.

Later, accompanied by local Macau celebrities such as Ma Shijia Road, Shen Yourong and Hong Chengchou went to the city and began their routine to clean up the dust. Afterwards, during a cordial exchange, the Ming Empire's Rear Admiral Shen Yourong and The friendly country Portugal had a close exchange of views. The two sides exchanged views on major international events and their opinions on the local maritime order in Southeast Asia.

The exchanges between the two parties were cordial and friendly, and many consensuses were reached. In order to show sincerity, the Governor of Macau said that he would personally take his musketry team to Guangzhou Port in three days to assist Hong Chengchou in establishing the customs.

Three days later, Shen Yourong left the port with the living supplies sponsored by Portugal, and took a borrowed local guide with him, heading towards Feifu Port. Hong Chengchou also set off with satisfaction, followed by a neat line of Portuguese musketeers and soldiers. Governor of Macau.

The royal capital of Joseon, Seoul.

After Zhu Youxiao entered the palace of the former King of Joseon, the Habayashi Army took over the defense work of the entire city. With his great master's suppression, the reforms and changes in Korea began rapidly.

Of course, during the whole process, Zhu Youxiao was hiding behind the scenes. The one who charged forward and was willing to act as a thug was Cui Mingji, the new governor of North Korea. What happened between Lingyang Jun and him was not kept secret for long, and it soon followed He spread the word to the North Korean minister who witnessed it that day.

Since the conversation between the two of them that night was confidential and no one knew about it except the person involved, rumors spread that Cui Mingji acted as the villain, while Lord Lingyang showed a positive image of caring about the country and the people. Especially However, after Cui Mingji led the army and began a bloody suppression, the rumors intensified.

Rumor has it that Cui Mingji deceived Lord Ling Yang and betrayed the entire North Korea, that he recognized a thief as his father, and so on.

However, this could not shake Cui Mingji's determination. Ever since he made an instant decision that night and reminded Emperor Ming that he could annex North Korea, he no longer paid attention to such things as public opinion. What really made him take it seriously and even fear him Yes, only Zhu Youxiao's attitude towards him was that as long as the emperor reused him, he was willing to be a vicious dog with bloody hands.

"Your Majesty, bring Cui Mingji." Wang Yetai reported respectfully.

"Let him come in." Zhu Youxiao said with his hands behind his back.

"Yes." Wang Yetai bowed his head and went out.

Cui Mingji walked in with his head lowered. As soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground and paid homage, "Wei minister Cui Mingji, Governor of North Korea, joins your majesty, long live my emperor."

"My beloved, I am free of ceremony." Zhu Youxiao turned around and asked him to stand up, but he did not allow him to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Mingji stood up quickly, then stood with his hands down respectfully.

Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, but looked at Cui Mingji carefully. His face was a little haggard, his eye circles were a little dark, his hair had more white hair than before, and he also had some bags under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not rested well recently, but his eyes The overall condition of the person is very good, and even gives people a vaguely sharp and high-spirited attitude, as if a sharply sharpened sword is waiting for the owner to unsheath the sword at any time.

"How have you been lately? No one has troubled you!" Zhu Youxiao asked. Although he promised the other party the position of Governor of North Korea at the time, he did not formally issue an order. Since he announced that he would accept the internal affairs of North Korea, Attached, three days have passed. During these three days, natural undercurrents surged.
