After Lin Hongzhong finished speaking, Domingo swallowed his saliva and said: "We have spent so much money and made so many friends, can no one protect us?"
"This is their insidiousness. They first disintegrated our support from above, and then made small moves below." Lin Hongzhong sighed and said: "Anyway, don't think about it. Now that things have completely escalated, who can speak for us? He is a traitor, and people will throw poop into his yard!"
¡°Oh God, we were wronged!¡± Domingo yelled angrily.
"God doesn't care about the Ming Dynasty, and it's no use screaming at you!" Lin Hongzhong frowned and said: "In short, the Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions. Now not only does no one speak for us, but everyone is vying to add insult to injury. Our situation will only be It¡¯s getting worse!¡±
"Is there no remedy?" Domingo said depressedly.
"Yes, I told him as soon as he came in." Lin Hongzhong poured him another glass of wine.
"You mean to start a war?" Domingo stared at the blood-red wine in the candlelight and hissed: "With the Jiangnan Group?"
"Of course, can't we fight with the government?" Lin Hongzhong nodded, gently swaying the wine in the goblet and said: "I thought about it clearly on the way back. Now the governor and governor are standing opposite, and we are showing weakness to bribe them. It is difficult to achieve the effect. Then we can only show our power!"
"Actually, the key is still the Governor. He is the most popular general in front of the Prime Minister. As long as he can change his mind, the rest of the officialdom will fall to us again!" He stood up and said through gritted teeth. :
"I know the needs of the Governor very well. One is money, lots and lots of money; the other is to be useful to him. So the old coffin man must be bribing him with a lot of money while bragging about how powerful his grandson's fleet is. He is not among us. Down!"
"Impossible, they were only established three years ago, and they started building Galen ships by imitating our ships." Domingo said contemptuously: "And they are three nondescript small Galen ships. In fact, they were built What about a galenic ship twice the size? The navy is a branch of arms that relies heavily on accumulation. The invincible Royal Navy of our Portuguese Empire has been passed down for 150 years since His Royal Highness Prince Enrique laid the foundation. This is what we have The greatest wealth. Even the arrogant Ottoman Empire has been defeated miserably at our feet several times. That 'Mr. Zhao' wants to catch up with us in three years and one hundred and fifty years? It is simply a fantasy!"
As he spoke, he added bitterly: "Even with the help of that traitor Pinto, they will never be able to compete with our great Royal Navy within a hundred years!"
"Well said, I think so too!" Lin Hongzhong sounded a little excited and said to Yourong: "But those officials of the Ming Dynasty are arrogant by nature, and they are unwilling to accept that their country lags behind foreign countries in any way. This is what The deep reason why Governor Yin easily trusts the Zhao family - they always feel that their own people are stronger!"
As he spoke, he raised his glass to Domingo and said: "So you have to prove to Governor Yin that he is wrong! No matter how big Mr. Zhao's fleet is, he is still a vulnerable paper tiger! After this time, Governor Yin will Completely understand that there will be no more Zheng He after Zheng He, and the Ming Dynasty has completely become weak at sea. If you want to maintain peace along the coast of Guangdong, you can only cooperate with us!"
"Well said!" Domingo was also aroused by him. He stood up and clinked glasses with him and said: "I was still hesitating whether to fight them now or wait until next year. Now I have decided not to wait. Rely on the strength at hand to tear the Jiangnan Fleet to pieces!"
Major Alfonso, who had been silent next to him, his expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Last fall, he was released and returned to Macau as part of the armistice.
According to European tradition, after the captured noble officers are released, they can still continue to lead troops and will not be held accountable for their crimes. But the situation of the Portuguese Navy is slightly different. First, they have a brilliant record and are victorious in every battle. The second is that their population is too small, and all warships and sailors are precious. So from the perspective of honor and reality, the Portuguese hate failure. They looked down on those who brought failure to the Royal Navy and even tried the officers who were primarily responsible.
That¡¯s why Colonel Pinto was too scared to come back.
Although Major Alfonso was able to continue to serve as the captain of the Oriental Beauty, he kept secret about his experience of being captured. In his report to the Commander, he only said that it was because of the weather that Captain Pinto was too careless, causing the fleet to lose power. state, watching helplessly as the Ming Dynasty's fire attack ships surrounded the Duke of Goa and the Oriental Beauty.
In order to prevent the two main forces of the Macau fleet from being burned down in such a confusing manner, Colonel Pinto chose to surrender
Since everything is accidental, of course we must avoid the inevitable factors of failure. So he didn't mention it at allMaintain considerable combat effectiveness, so that even the Ottomans will be defeated.
On the day the fleet set off, the whole city came to see the female red hair, the little red hair and the old red hair to see off the warriors who defended their 'homeland'.
The day before departure, they received an official letter from the deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao. They were charged with ignoring the king's laws, harboring criminals, and shooting innocent people. They canceled all previous agreements concluded between the two parties and ordered them to leave Macau before the end of the year. They were not allowed to set foot in Macau again. territory!
In fact, this letter was forged by Lin Hongzhong. How could such a major matter be decided so quickly? Is that still the government of the Ming Dynasty?
But there is no doubt that this letter aroused the hatred of all Portuguese and even Europeans. They vowed to crush the Jiangnan Fleet and let the damn Ming Dynasty officials take back what they said!
"To survive, set off!" Following the commander's order, the huge fleet slowly left Macau with the blessings of the family and the glory of the Lord.
Target, Nan'ao Island!
