    In the cabin, Mr. Zhao finally tasted the three flavors from the memorial that Lin Run took out.

    "Zhongcheng is saying that there are shadows of the Wuyang Trading House behind this?" He couldn't help but frown slightly. It seemed that this large trading house, which gathered the interests of the Portuguese and Guangdong maritime merchants, had a bigger appetite than the intelligence showed.

    "I'm just guessing." Lin Run pinched the corners of his aching eyes and said, "You may not know that they have been very active in lobbying for the past two years, saying that Haojing'ao is located in a remote place, hoping to make Fo Lang Jiyi  Move to Tuen Mun Island to better protect Guangzhou Bay."

    "I want to fucking eat shit!" Zhao Hao suddenly said a rare swear word, which shocked Lin Run.

    "Why are you having such a big reaction?" Lin Run said with a smile: "They have been planning Tuen Mun Island for more than a day or two - the first time the Fo Langji people came to Ming Dynasty, didn't they just capture Tuen Mun Island? They just turned around.  He lost the naval battle of Tuen Mun and was driven away by us again."

    Zhao Hao thought the same thing. Anyone who chooses a port as a base between Hong Kong and Macau will choose the former over the latter.  Without it, the congenital conditions are too far apart.

    Therefore, Portugal planned to plot Hong Kong Island as soon as it came up. As a result, it lost completely in the Battle of Tuen Mun, so it retreated to Macau, which had relatively weak government control.

    Now that they have a firm foothold in Macau, and they think they have successfully captured the officials of Guangdong, they will of course be able to look to Shu and revive the idea of ??Hong Kong Island.

    But in another period of history, Zhao Hao did not see from historical data that the Portuguese and Lin Hongzhong once again interfered with Hong Kong Island.  Could it be because of the changes he brought about?

    It¡¯s really like that.

    During a hunting operation two years ago, the coast guard fleet captured the Portuguese smuggling fleet, including their flagship 'Duke of Goa' and the latest Galen ship 'Oriental Beauty'.  and detained for a full year.

    Although the two sides later signed a treaty, the Portuguese redeemed their two precious galleons at the expense of recognizing the Jiangnan Group's monopoly on trade with Japan and promising not to cross north of Ryukyu.

    But both sides know very well that the treaty is only temporary. After the three-year period expires, there will definitely be another war!

    So the Portuguese have been preparing intensively for the war.  Therefore, changing to a qualified military port that is easy to defend and difficult to attack naturally became their top priority.

    Because Haojingao, as its name suggests, is shaped like an oyster and the coastline is as smooth as a mirror, there is no place for a military port.  This can be seen from the fact that Zeng Yiben's pirate fleet was able to easily invade Hao Jing'ao Pier.

    That¡¯s why they started thinking about Tuen Mun Island again!

    Who would have expected that they would encounter Lin Zhongcheng, who could not be corroded, and Lin Run, who had been instilled by Mr. Zhao with thoughts of saving the nation, so their wishful thinking naturally came to nothing.

    Seeing that the governor's Yamen had a clear attitude and refused to rent Tuen Mun Island to them, Fo Langji lost his spell.  But the comprador had a way, so Lin Hongzhong took the idea to Yin Zhengmao, who was the governor of Guangxi at the time.  Yin Zhengmao's reputation as a money-loving man was well known to every household, and Mr. Lin offered generous sponsorships, so he naturally became his guest.

    Lin Hongzhong originally wanted to influence Beijing through Yin Zhengmao, and see if he could get the imperial court to directly issue an order to lease Tuen Mun Island to Wuyang Tong Trading Hall, which actively donated funds.

    Unexpectedly, Yin Zhengmao took advantage of his great victory and was promoted to governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.  This time it can be done without disturbing Beijing!

    ??~~

    "After the new year, Lin Hongzhong has been running between the provincial capital and Zhaoqing, just busy with this matter." Lin Run said with his sore back under the activity: "Although I strongly object, the governor is in charge of military affairs, and the governor is in charge of civil affairs. Yin  If the ministry really wants to rent it, I can't stop it. Once this memorial is issued, it will basically be done."

    Zhao Hao nodded. The people living on Tuenmen Island are all the descendants of the traitor army and the traitor army. Therefore, according to the principle of "moving the people who were exiled from the sea to the inland", they can all be moved away and Tuenmen Island can be moved away.  Free up for the red-haired ghost.

    The inspectors divided the areas to guard in order to prevent the governor's Yamen from interfering.

    ??Looking at the third article, ¡®Boldly borrow soldiers and recruit maritime merchants to join the navy¡¯, this is simply tailor-made for Portugal and Lin Hongzhong.  By relying on this provision, they can immediately obtain official status.

    At that time, the Portuguese will be able to imitate the Duoyan Guard and the Jianzhou Guard, and have a Tuen Mun Thousand Households Station, and can legitimately garrison Tuen Mun Island.  If Lin Hongzhong is appointed as Qianhu, he can pass the imperial court with minimal disturbance.

    Once they have official status, how can Zhao Hao's Coast Guard attack Tuen Mun Island?  The red-haired ghost is now invincible!

    As for why Lin Daoqian was specifically singled out and the deputy commander of the South Australian Army was set up, most of them also had the intention of targeting the Jiangnan Group.  If the forest roads in Chaoyang are thoroughly dried?, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I will help you watch Tuen Mun Island, but Lin Daoqian and Nan'ao Island can only be defended by yourself."

    "Don't worry, Zhongcheng. I've already been vaccinated against Lin Daoqian." Zhao Hao seemed to remember something and couldn't help laughing: "The more Governor Yin's people woo him, the more scared he becomes, and the more tightly he wants to hug me.  thighs."

    "Oh, really?" Lin Run felt relieved after hearing this, and suddenly smiled: "If he is really determined to follow you, you can help him achieve some military exploits, and then ask your father-in-law for help to help him become this  Deputy Commander-in-Chief of South Australia, don¡¯t you have to solve your own dilemma?¡±

    "You are truly wiser than Zhong Cheng!" Zhao Hao immediately applauded with admiration on his face: "Why haven't I thought of such a wonderful idea?"

    "Come on!" Lin Run gave him a white look, and the two looked at each other until they started laughing.

    The laughter was so passionate, as if nothing in the world could defeat them.

    ps. Two updates on the weekend, everyone has a happy weekend.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
