Accompanied by loud rumblings and billowing white smoke, cannonballs flew towards Guri City and Guri Port. Suddenly, the entire Guri Port and Guri City were completely in chaos.
The Guli people, who had just experienced the war for a short time, were frightened and panicked. The Portuguese used this terrible weapon to conquer them and made them slaves to the Portuguese.
At this moment, they were bombarded again, and it was even more fierce and intensive than the Portuguese artillery attack.
The whistling shells fell towards Guri City like raindrops. In the blink of an eye, this ancient city with a long history was smashed into a mess by the shells, with ruins and broken walls everywhere.
In Guri Harbor, the moored ships were mercilessly destroyed by artillery fire, and several ships brought from Europe were sunk with almost no resistance.
"Counterattack~Counterattack~"
"Teach these Ming people a lesson and let them know how powerful we Portuguese are."
Da Gama angrily came to the fort of Guli City and looked at the huge fleet in the Guli Bay area. More than two hundred large ships were cruising on the wide sea with flags flying, especially the bright yellow Daming Dragon Flag.
conspicuous, eye-catching.
At the front, battleships were leaning against the side of the ship, with rows of cannon holes spread out. Bursts of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and cannonballs were attacking like rain.
Vasco da Gama looked at the ancient city in front of him, and then at his ship in the harbor, his eyes turned red.
Since coming to India, he has never suffered such a loss. Several warships parked in the harbor were sunk without firing a single shot, and other small ships were not spared.
Without these ships, he would have completely lost contact with the sea. If there is no new force to support him, whether he can maintain the dominance of the Guri Kingdom is a question.
After finally defeating the Guli Kingdom, he could only watch it being destroyed bit by bit by the Ming people. This made Vasco da Gama, who had always been arrogant, violent and cruel, completely angry.
"Dong~dong~"
Soon, the Portuguese opened fire at the Guli City Fort, billowing smoke filled the air, and shells flew towards the Ming Dynasty ships on the sea.
However, they soon discovered tragically that their artillery seemed to be unable to hit the Ming people at all. The cunning Ming people were very smart to hide outside their range, but the Ming people's artillery could attack them.
.
"God~ why do you punish your people like this!"
Da Gama immediately couldn't help but complained to his God in pain.
This feeling is really uncomfortable. I can only be beaten, but I can't fight back. It is extremely painful. This is something I have never encountered before.
They have always relied on advanced warships, navigation technology and artillery technology to bully the indigenous people around the world, and no one has ever been able to bully them.
Now he was being pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Ming Dynasty. This feeling made him furious.
However, before he could get angry, the Ming warships that discovered the Portuguese fort immediately began to attack the fort.
Cannonballs roared in one after another, and suddenly the Portuguese fort was wailing. Under the powerful cannonball attack, the cannonballs they built out of rocks could not withstand the damage.
"@#%%~"
Vasco da Gama cursed in his mouth, but hurriedly hid. Looking at the Ming warships that kept attacking Guli City, da Gama began to feel happy.
"Fortunately, the main battleships and personnel have all gone to attack the Ming Dynasty in Goa, otherwise they would all have been destroyed here."
"The strength of the Ming Dynasty is too strong. We should not start a conflict with the Ming Dynasty here in India, otherwise the Ming Dynasty can overthrow us at any time."
Then, he began to think quickly again.
After being bombarded by King Ning's fleet, he finally experienced the powerful strength of the Ming people.
Such a warship can be dispatched casually, the artillery is so powerful and terrifying, coupled with the Ming people's advanced navigation technology, no matter from which aspect, the Ming people are not easy to mess with.
"Send someone to negotiate with the Ming people and tell them~"
"We are willing to give up the Goa area to them, but the condition is that they must recognize our status in the Guri State, and they are absolutely not allowed to trade directly with the Middle Easterners and Persians. It must go through the hands of our Portuguese."
Soon, Vasco da Gama had to find a way to negotiate with the Ming people.
Under a bombardment, no matter how arrogant and violent he was, he was not as brutal as this cannon. He was very sensible and wise in preparing to negotiate with the Ming people.
In his opinion, this must be the support from the Ming people in the Goa area after asking for help. Not long after he attacked the Goa area, the Ming people quickly came to support him, which was too fast.
The key is to dispatch such a huge fleet casually. Such a powerful national power is far beyond what the Portuguese can compare with.
Their King Manuel I gritted his teeth and then pieced together more than 20 warships to come to the Indian Ocean. This was already an extremely powerful courage.
But as for the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that the people of the Ming Dynasty who occupied Ceylon Island were just people from a trading company in the Ming Dynasty, and the army of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was still in the Ming Dynasty.
In Guri Port, a small boat carried two Portuguese men and rowed quickly towards King Ning's fleet. They were the negotiators sent by Vasco da Gama.
"Your Majesty, the Portuguese in Guri City hope to negotiate with us. They are willing to recognize the rule of our Ming people in Goa. They also hope that we can recognize their rule in Guri Country."
"And we, the Ming people, are required not to trade with the Persians and Middle Easterners. Even if we want to trade with them, we must go through the hands of the Portuguese."
Liu Yangzheng came to Prince Ning with a smile on his face.
When I came overseas, I finally got to see the situation overseas. This is a completely different world from the Ming Dynasty.
The fact that more than 20 Portuguese warships were able to occupy a country, and even monopolize and blockade such a huge sea area, seemed incredible to the people of Ming Dynasty, but the fact is before their eyes.
In the past, there were doubts about Tian Erniu's success in conquering two huge empires in Golden Continent with only ten thousand people, but now he knows that this is absolutely true.
The Portuguese had more than 20 warships and only less than 2,000 men. They also conquered Tianzhu, a country, and they were able to monopolize and blockade the spice trade.
If this happened in Ming Dynasty, it would be unbelievable, but it is very real happening overseas.
So now he is full of confidence in King Ning's great plan in Africa. At the same time, he has truly realized the truth that the truth is only within the range of the cannon.
The arrogant and domineering Portuguese were extremely arrogant in India. While bullying the local Indians, they also attacked the Middle East and Persians and monopolized the spice trade here.
Even when the King of Shu arrived in Goa, they dared to attack, but they did not take the Ming people seriously.
But it was different now. King Ning's fleet bombarded them, and after letting them know how powerful the Ming people were, these Portuguese suddenly became honest again.
Now they actually sent people over to express their willingness to negotiate peace, and they also recognized the Ming Dynasty's right to rule the Goa region, but they are still very arrogant and still want to block the free trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Middle East and the Persians.
"Haha, Mr. Dong is right. Overseas, no matter which region or country, people only recognize fists. If we teach them a lesson with artillery fire, they will know that they are afraid. Let's forget it.
Doesn’t it count as besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao?”
When Prince Ning heard this, he laughed even more happily.
When Dong Lin asked him about some things overseas, he was still a little idealistic. He felt that the Ming Dynasty was so great that just by hanging the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty, he could roam the world.
However, Dong Lin told them that at the beginning, overseas countries were not very friendly to the Ming people. In the Nanyang region, some people even intercepted and killed Ming ships and killed Ming people.
But since Liu Jin led his army to sweep through various countries in Nanyang last year and used powerful artillery and muskets to kill people in Nanyang, people in the entire Nanyang region began to be truly afraid of the Ming people.
No matter where the ships of the Ming Dynasty went, no one dared to mess with them. They didn't even dare to collect taxes. They were afraid of being killed by Liu Jin.
The Javanese countries, which had the largest and most ferocious Ming Dynasties at the time, were destroyed by Liu Jin. Almost all of them were killed, and the rest were sold as slaves to plantations.
As for Siam, Balni, Malacca and other countries, they were beaten to the point where they knelt down and begged for mercy, and ceded their territory to pay compensation. This led to the situation where Ming ships were roaming the Southeast Asia.
"Your Majesty, of course this counts as encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, but I think we can't just let the Portuguese go. Their main force is attacking Prince Shu. We can wait to kill their main fleet before talking to them."
"The Portuguese is a small country with only about twenty warships. How can it stop the Ming Dynasty's ships from trading all over the world? If their main warships are destroyed, these Portuguese will not even be qualified to negotiate with us."
"Contact the people from the Guri Kingdom again and tell them that we, the Ming Dynasty, are here to support them. We can easily kill these Portuguese and completely expel them from the Indian Ocean region."
"When the time comes, the prince will take over the Portuguese power in Guri. He will first build a private colony in Guri. After that, Guri will be well run. Relying on the favorable geographical location, he will only be able to make spices with the Middle Easterners and Persians.
Trade will make you full."
"And there is a colony here in Tianzhu, which will also be helpful to the prince's great cause in Africa. It can be regarded as a transit point and can also settle some people first."
Li Shishi next to him thought about it and suggested.
