Colonel Pinto¡¯s hands were shaking so much that a long length of white ash had accumulated on his thick, black cigar, which was trembling and refused to drop.
Mr. Zhao smelled the smell of this cigar, which was quite mellow. He wondered if it was caused by rubbing it on the Havana girl¡¯s thighs.
"Why don't you say anything? Did I say it to your heart?" He suppressed the urge to ask this guy for a cigarette. If you learn to smoke at a young age, wouldn't you become a bad boy?
"You should still worry about yourselves. We have more than a dozen large sailing ships in Macau, and the main fleet in Malacca has hundreds of ships. When they come to retaliate in a mighty way, let's see how you end up!"
"Hahaha, that won't change your fate as a scapegoat." Zhao Hao only held on to one thing and said, "Even if they rescue you, they can't change the result of hanging you in Goa!"
"The Ming Dynasty will also be in trouble because of your reckless actions. When your emperor holds you responsible, you will not be able to escape!" Colonel Pinto tried his best to resist.
"No, since the Governor of Macau wants to use you as a scapegoat, why would he let you go to Goa alive and talk nonsense in front of the Vice King of India? He will probably cause a shipwreck to send you back to the west, right?" Zhao Hao only thought about himself. He kept talking and said: "I'm afraid that he will create the illusion that you are fleeing in fear of crime, so your family in Lisbon will also be implicated, right?"
"You devil" Colonel Pinto was sweating profusely and could hardly stand still.
"If the devil can save you, are you willing to sell your soul to the devil?" Mr. Zhao asked quietly, and then walked off the deck.
¡°¡¡± With a pop, Colonel Pinto¡¯s legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. He put his hands in his hair, and the cigar in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Gao Wu killed it with one kick, then raised his leg and kicked it into the sea.
"Yes." He was not an ordinary person. Of course he knew that taking refuge in Zhao Hao was his only way out.
"Hahaha, good, good job!" Mr. Zhao laughed with satisfaction. He had already noticed that Colonel Pinto was in a trance and worried. Only then did he speak out, but I didn't expect him to be so aware of current affairs.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, come on, let's use some together." He smiled and patted Colonel Pinto's head, accepting his submission.
"First find some clean clothes for Mr. Pinto to change into." Taking a look at Pinto's dirty tights and the big pile of Cortopes, Zhao Hao guessed that if he dared to take him back like this, it would be a coincidence. Sister Qiao will definitely go crazy.
??~~
After a while, Colonel Pinto put on a brand new black suit, and his hair was neatly tied up and tied into a bun. Sitting at Zhao Hao's dining table, eating delicious breakfast.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Guokui with pickles and pickles every day, and I don't even care if I'm full, but it makes him starved.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Qiaoqiao brought another bowl of meat porridge, and saw that his mouth was full, and he still held a meat bun in each hand. I couldn't help but sigh with pity, thinking that it turned out that the red-haired ghost also wanted to eat.
"Uh-huh." Pinto didn't understand at all. He responded vaguely, took the porridge basin with both hands, took a deep breath, and gave a thumbs up.
"You said people from the Jesuits will come to negotiate?" Zhao Hao asked him while drinking tea. He was already full.
"Yes." After hearing the translation, Pinto quickly swallowed what was in his mouth and replied: "Jesus will ask us for this matter. Now in the Far East, they have more things to ask of us than we do. It¡¯s their place, so I won¡¯t neglect it.¡±
"Hmm." Zhao Hao could generally understand Pinto's words. Because the Portuguese had too few people to establish extensive colonies in the Americas like the Spanish, they could only establish some armed warehouses and strongholds at key nodes in the ocean to protect trade routes. There is not much need for colonization, and naturally there is no need for the power of religion like the Spaniards.
He put down the tea cup, folded his arms and thought for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "Is it useful to talk to them?"
"Of course it is useful. It is the existence of the Papal Meridian that protects our Portuguese sphere of influence from Spanish aggression. Therefore, the Vice-King of Goa and the Governor of Macau must fulfill their mission of protecting the church in the East. The Jesuits are missionaries directly under the jurisdiction of the Pope. Organization, so they won¡¯t tear each other down easily.¡±
As Pinto spoke, he drank another large bowl of meat porridge, burped with satisfaction, and suggested: "Of course, the church is only negotiating on behalf of the Governor of Macau. No matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, it needs the approval of the Governor of Macau Damn it. , Domingo is just a self-proclaimed governor. We don¡¯t even have legal right of residence in Macau, and there is no appointment from the king. What kind of governor is he? He is notp; Knowing that the Shojin navy had been destroyed and that the Tanegashima clan had taken over Tanegashima Shiyao, he finally lost all hope and led his retainers to surrender unconditionally to Zhao Hao and signed a letter of allegiance.
According to the provisions of the letter of allegiance, the Tanegashima clan unconditionally obeys all orders of the Tamna Guard District and dedicates Satsuma Iwo Jima to the guard district as the seat of the Tanegashima Police Station of the Seongsan Water Police Department.
This Iwo Jima is not the one attacked by the US military, but a small island located west of Tanegashima and south of Kagoshima. It is the key point for Japan to go south to Ryukyu. In this era, the geographical location is much more important than the other. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the southern gate of Japan.
There are active volcanoes, hot springs, excellent harbors, and sulfur on the island. Mr. Zhao attacked Tanegashima just to get it. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
