    In the port of Lisbon, Portugal, countless garrison troops ran around like headless flies, causing chaos in the port. Various criminals took the opportunity to jump out and rob the fire. In less than half an hour, the entire port city was on fire. Countless people were crying and not knowing what to do.

    The legend of being severely whipped by the whip of God and the memory of being bullied by the Mongols once again emerged from the bottom of people's hearts.

    Countless devout believers knelt on the ground, sincerely praying for their almighty Lord to manifest a miracle. If they didn't take action, I'm afraid those pagans from the East would start killing again.

    Chang Liansheng and the officers and soldiers of the Qiongzhouying Navy were stunned. Is this the song that was sung?

    Several nobles came out of the accompanying prisoners, and explained the situation to Chang Liansheng through the engineer Sunny who came as a guest translator.

    Chang Liansheng was a little surprised after hearing this. How could such a big city not even have a unified government office?  All affairs are handled by those nobles?

    This is a bit like the appearance of the eighteen princes. When the wind is going smoothly, they are prosperous.  When encountering difficulties, they blame each other and then fight among themselves.  If you encounter a tougher opponent, he will explode for you in minutes.

    Looking at the scene at the pier, there are only a group of kowtow bugs kneeling on the ground, and some fishermen, waiting numbly for their fate in their boats.

    The original garrison at the dock has long since disappeared. They are private soldiers belonging to several nobles.  Normally, he is mainly responsible for collecting taxes or bullying outsiders. When encountering such an opponent whose strength cannot be resisted, it is a basic operation to go home and fight.

    Well, after pondering for a while, Chang Liansheng ordered the quick reaction troops to land on the beach.

    After seizing the firepower point at the dock and forming an effective defense line, large units were sent ashore one after another.

    More than two thousand naval officers and soldiers carried repeating rifles and marched into the city of Lisbon in neat steps.

    With such a high city wall, there is not even a gatekeeper.

    In less than half an hour, all city defenses fell into the hands of the navy.

    Chang Liansheng ordered several propaganda teams, each bringing several prisoners into the city to cooperate with the propaganda.

    ¡° Several of the prisoners had served as officers and were quite familiar with Lisbon¡¯s military power.  Knowing the location of several nobles' castles, he took the initiative to lead the way.

    The navy officers and soldiers began to take over the security of the city in accordance with the regulations.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t understand the language, bullets and bayonets are very persuasive.

    A large number of criminals with obvious malicious intentions were committing crimes on the streets without restraint and were shot to death in the street.  Some people tried to resist, some tried to escape, some tried to take hostages, etc. Navy officers and soldiers have gone through countless drills in various situations. To deal with such die-hard elements, there is only one word: kill!

    The gunshots like exploding beans rang out in the city of Lisbon for nearly three hours. Near noon, they finally gradually subsided.

    The riots in the city subsided and the fires were effectively controlled.  After a lot of persuasion, people obediently retreated into the building and waited for the situation to become clear.

    At the same time, the four nobles of Lisbon were surrounded by naval officers and soldiers in their castle.

    Those aristocratic private soldiers witnessed with their own eyes the arrogance of the giant ships of the Ming Dynasty, and also watched the decisiveness of the navy officers and soldiers when they took over the security. Against other people's muskets that can fire continuously, the matchlocks in their hands were completely incapable of showing off.  .

    Around two o'clock in the afternoon, four nobles surrendered one after another.

    Chang Liansheng gave them decent treatment and invited them to board the ship for negotiations.

    ¡°It¡¯s a negotiation, basically Comrade Lao Chang put forward the conditions, Sonny translated it into Portuguese, and the four indigenous nobles nodded obediently.

    Chang Liansheng is such a thief. He knows that Europeans in this era believe in treaties written in black and white. After the conditions are explained and the other party agrees, he immediately puts out a large piece of rice paper and writes down the relevant provisions in Chinese and Portuguese.  , allowing four people to sign.

    The four nobles were somewhat aggrieved, but at this time they were under the eaves and had to bow their heads and could only accept it obediently.

    The treaty stipulates that the trade between Ming and Portugal must be carried out by Four Seas Trade.

    The sales of Mingfang¡¯s goods in Portugal were fully entrusted to four nobles.  Portuguese goods are settled and delivered locally, and are also shipped back to the East via the Four Seas Trade.

    The four of them wanted to cry but had no tears. After all, if this happened, it would mean that the huge profits from ocean trade would be completely taken away by the world, and they would only be able to earn some hard-earned money.

    Chang Liansheng advised them that in the face of the powerful transportation capacity of the four-sea trade, their Portuguese small ships like conch and lion shells had no competitiveness at all.  And the most important thing is, although those ships are very profitable, how much profit can belong to the four nobles?  How much profit can you make by being a sole agent in the world?At this time, one hundred and sixty warships and more than 10,000 sailors were the largest armed forces and wealth of the two countries.

    It takes three to five years to build a ship, and it takes at least five to ten years to train a qualified sailor.

    After losing the battle, there is still a chance to come back, but with the ship and people gone, it is not easy to make a comeback.

    This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest.

    Not only Portugal and Spain, but the whole of Europe has been turned into a pot of porridge.

    However, the difference in fighting power is so huge that it makes people despair, and they cannot even have the courage to resist.

    The advantage that Europeans are best at has emerged. If you can't beat them, give up, take the initiative to get closer, and pay tribute to the strong. Isn't it the most basic operation for a normal-thinking human being?

    Soon, France, Britain, Italy, Greece, etc., all countries with interests in the ocean colonial trade, all sent personnel to contact us, and they behaved in various ways to please us and made ugly appearances.

    In mid-June, Chang Liansheng held talks with a group of European representatives at the Daming Naval Base in Lisbon Port.

    Admiral Chang¡¯s attitude is very clear. There can only be one voice on the sea, the voice of Ming Dynasty!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
