Today is an official European-style banquet, so most of the food used is made by Europeans themselves, but the tableware is not the copperware commonly used by Europeans, 20 full thorns plus royal gold and silverware and Chinese porcelain.

The staple food of Europeans is of course bread, but the wheat used to make premium bread has the lowest yield among all major crops. Therefore, white bread belongs to the rich, nobles, and privileged people of the church. Milk is added to the flour, and brewer’s yeast is used to make white and delicious small breads, called queen breads, which are now placed in the longest dining table.

As soon as Inuyang was sitting at the very end, he picked up a piece of hard brown bread made of rye and oats, then threw it back to the plate, and muttered dissatisfiedly to the nearby Ono Gengtian: "Ridiculous The banquet, the golden plate, but it’s this kind of stuff. I can use it to knock your head out."

Ono Gengtian turned sideways and whispered: "Don't complain, how can you not bow your head under the eaves of people? We need them to survive now. I heard that the people who stayed in Great Ming are about to be killed. When it’s gone, the people who fled to the mountains were bruised and swollen when they ate wild vegetables, and even died of bloating. At least we still have food and alcohol to drink."

He said that he sipped the inferior whiskey and frowned: "Why not use local wine? This wine is like vinegar."

"Hush, he's going to talk," Zhu Claw handsome grabbed the samurai updo and said hurriedly.

Sure enough. Ezeger stood up, leaned back to everyone politely and smiled and said: "Gentlemen, you are very welcome to join the feast at noon today."

He wore a short-breasted tights made of oriental silk. A Portuguese love poem was woven with small round pearls on an expensive shawl. It shone in the candlelight, making him more and more honorable. tolerance.

"Gentlemen," Ezeger smiled and nodded to everyone: "Tonight's feast, please drink as much as you want. Don't worry. At the same time, I need to ask for your opinions on some things."

He looked around at the guests sitting around the long dining table and said.

This is a huge team. There are the officers of the Portuguese fleet under his leadership, the Spanish pirate Captain Pedro and his men, Hiroshi Miyamoto and his oriental warriors, the local cast* and the chieftain of the land people, and the mercenaries recruited during the eastward journey. Leaders and factions are complex, and their race and appearance are also different.

Various dishes were successively presented by the servants who originally belonged to the Manchurian Palace. Of course, the most exquisite food was placed on the side of these leaders. In addition to fish and vegetables, the meat was also mainly pork.

The Europeans in the Middle Ages did not dislike the internal organs of animals like the Europeans today. In fact, they would not let go of every inch of edible part, including the uterus and bladder of pigs. But whether it is drinks, bread or dishes. They all have to be dyed, the oily dark red looks very appetizing.

Due to different eating habits, some of these people use knives and forks, some use chopsticks, and some use their hands directly, which makes this magnificent palace-style feast look a little weird.

Ezeger took a sip of the brandy made with white wine, grabbed the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth with a smile, and said, "Everyone, please come together today, except for lunch. It's about our way out. We. The question of whether or not we can stand in Manchujia is related to the future of each of us."

This sentence immediately caught the attention of all factions, and everyone stopped their knives, forks and chopsticks, and listened to his speech.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that the Great Ming army would be so good at fighting. According to the news that Captain Pedro told me, the combat power of the Ming Army Navy was originally underestimated by us. No, no, not underestimated, but It was a complete estimation error. Now, the Ming Army has solved the East China Sea, and soon the goal will be directed here. News from the secret spy that Mr. Hiroshi Miyamoto left on the border of Ming Dynasty has been sent back to the ground. The signs of the Ming Army’s mobilization have also confirmed this."

He spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said: "Then the question is, do we fight, retreat, or...find a way to seek reconciliation with Great Ming? Gentlemen, please express your opinions."

The living room suddenly became noisy, and people from various factions began to whisper. Ezege held the meal table and watched the people's reactions quietly, and then took a deep look at Archbishop La Mario.

His army is not a pirate, but a regular Portuguese navy, belonging to Albuquerque, the local governor of India, known as the "Portuguese God of War". This governor is a devout and crazy believer and interest-seeker. Since gaining a foothold in India, his ambitions have begun to look at the entire Far East.

According to Albuquerque’s observations, he believes that Manchuria is the key to controlling trade between the Indian Ocean and the Far East. Occupying this place can establish Portugal’s status as a maritime trade empire in the East. With this as a foothold, he can also seize places such as Colombo, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Maluku Islands.

After suppressing Sri Lanka with force, he snatched the tooth relic of the Buddha (Sakyamuni Buddha) from the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, and crushed it to pieces in front of tens of thousands of distraught Buddhists (in fact, the local The monk had secretly exchanged the tooth relic when he discovered his attempt, and the real Buddha relic still exists there).

He also led his troops to Mecca, the holy place of Islam, where the resting place of the ancestor Muhammad of Islam. Albuquerque dug up the tomb and snatched the body, and then hung the body on the hang in front of the Muslims On stage.

However, this crazy believer does not have such a strong confidence that the God he believes in can also become the ruler of the East. He always has a bit of warning in his heart for the Great Ming dynasty, the first power in the Far East.

Izerg was his first attempt to capture Manchuga, test Ming Dynasty's reaction to this, and then decide his further deployment to the Far East. It now appears that Ming Dynasty does not seem to be willing to lose full spurs. And is ready to use force. As the commander of the expeditionary force, Ezerg found that he had miscalculated the strength of the Ming army, and had no time to get further instructions from Albuquerque, so he had to discuss countermeasures with his collaborators.

La Mario came to Mancca by the order of the Portuguese king. The Portuguese king opposed the use of force with Great Ming. In his opinion, becoming an ally with the largest power in the Far East is obviously more beneficial to Portugal. But after three years ago, Yali-Adni's uncle and other radical naval officers had a rebellion, and he had to start to pay attention to the opinions of the navy department.

Albuquerque is known as the "God of War" and is well-known in the navy. Therefore, Archbishop La Mario came to Manchuga in person after learning of his plan, and wanted to present his views to the king after the field visit. Since he is a negotiator, Ezeger is polite to him, but he is actually quite hostile.

Sure enough, La Mario coughed and started talking, and he looked around at the crowd. He said: "Everyone, now better than you know, more than a hundred years ago, the admiral of Ming Dynasty, Zheng He, made seven voyages to the West. He has been to the Persian Gulf, to Aden, and to the Red Sea. The team has even been to the east coast of Africa."

"Furthermore... the size, number and total number of crews of the Ming Army is the sum of our current naval fleet. The Ming Army has a strong ocean-going strike capability, which is beyond doubt. Now Captain Pedro is again It proves that the artillery of the Ming army is not inferior to ours. I think that His Majesty’s opinion is correct. We should form an ally with this powerful country. Instead of becoming an enemy, it will be a nightmare for us."

Izerg’s deputy Sander immediately retorted: "Your Excellency. I think you’re a bit alarmist. Mr. Miyamoto Hiroshi and Ming Jun have been fighting for many years. From his understanding, Ming Jun is not Possess the super powerful ground artillery as Captain Pedro said."

He glanced at Pedro contemptuously, and added: "Captain Pedro’s failure of the two battleships may be due to improper command, or perhaps the Ming army relied on the location and the number of ships to make up for the shortcomings. The bullet marks on the ship, ha ha ha, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, give me two ships, I can dismantle them into sampans, to prove the strength of my artillery."

He brushed the ground and stood up and said proudly: "As a colonel of the Royal Spanish Navy, I swear to the Almighty Landlord: Give me ten battleships, and I will destroy all Ming navies that appear in the South China Sea, for the Portuguese royal family Fight for supreme glory with the Royal Navy, and let His Majesty the King’s power and the Pope’s grace all over the east!"

Izerg patted his shoulder excitedly, and said: "Munjai must ensure that we have this trading port in our hands. Our merchant ships will be loaded with Ming Dynasty wealth and fill their masts with their cargo. "

"Papa" two clear applauses, La Mario clapped politely, and sneered at each other: "Very nice, sir. But don’t forget, it’s at the feet of Great Ming, it’s huge like a head The giant elephant, lift up a foot, can crush this place. We only have ten warships, of course, if you count Captain Pedro and Mr. Miyamoto Hiroshi’s ships, we don’t stop there. Our supplies Where do you supplement with the soldiers? And the Ming army can mobilize one hundred thousand troops in one day and night."

"Mr. Bishop", Hiroshi Miyamoto stammered: "As far as we know, Ming Dynasty people are not good at fighting, and they are not good at using weapons. Two hundred of us can rob a city of 30,000. Fifty people can do it. The Ming army chasing a thousand people fled."

La Mario shrugged and said: "Then I'm curious, why didn't your Excellency lead your more than two thousand people to occupy ten rich cities, but squeeze it with us in a small Manga?"

Hiroshi Miyamoto blushed, holding back his anger and said: "This... Ming Dynasty’s officials are corrupt and the army’s low combat effectiveness is well known. Not only the army, Captain Pedro has been in Great Ming for three years. He should He is also very clear about the combat power of the Ming navy."

"Our failure this time was mainly due to the loss of our country’s base and being forced to carry family members, which greatly affected our combat capabilities. At the same time, the Ming army’s general, Yang Ling, was resourceful. This man was not only good at fighting, but also agitated. Morale. But the officialdom of Ming Dynasty has a very bad habit..."

He smiled slyly, took a sip from a glass of wine, then frowned, grinned and said: "They like to anger others and take merits. Generals who have made great achievements. They will receive the taboo of the monarch. In the end, he caused himself to kill himself. The defeated general will also become the scapegoat of the monarch, even if he has won all battles.

Now Yang Ling has violated the first article, which has caused anxiety among some officials. As long as he violates the second article, he will immediately be attacked by others. As long as he is forced to leave this, the tiger and wolf led by a lion The division will immediately break up again into a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

Sund laughed and said, "I asked for a fight for this purpose. As for supplies and soldiers, my specific plan is: First, recruit an army of 4000 to 6000 men from the Governor of India. Occupy first. Based in Guangdong Province, the navy of the Ming Army was completely wiped out to obtain control of the sea, and then gradually infiltrated the interior."

"As for the issue of follow-up soldiers, 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers can be recruited from the mainland, and about 10,000 mercenaries are being recruited in Japan and Luzon. After obtaining dominance of the sea, the guns on the warship can be unloaded. It is used as a field heavy artillery, and the cannons transported to the ground can reach thousands. Under such firepower, we will not encounter any scaled resistance."

Pedro is a Spaniard, but he has no alternative but to temporarily cast full thorns to seek safety. He knows the strength of the two battleships destroyed on Dulong Island and Fernando’s commanding ability, so he firmly believes that the Ming army has It is a powerful artillery, so he is very unwilling to take the initiative to attract the warships of the Ming army to this shelter.

However, due to his special status, he didn't want to express his opinion, but he heard such whimsical words from Sander. He couldn't help it anymore, shrugging his beard, he said faintly: "Colonel Sander, I have no doubt about the combat effectiveness of 6,000 regular Portuguese soldiers, but Ming Dynasty can send 30,000 sailors to the west. .Whether it is Portugal or Spain, who can support the ocean-going supplies of tens of thousands of navies?"

"Recruit 4,000 soldiers from India. I think India will therefore no longer belong to you, and General Albuquerque will not agree to this plan. A fleet of tens of thousands of people sailed south from the Iberian Peninsula. It bypassed the Cape of Good Hope. Until India, there is no country on the road that can support such a huge army. In addition, how should ship repairs and disease prevention and treatment be done?"

La Mario also mocked and said: "This is not the most important thing. You have to know that the war can't be smooth sailing forever. How can such a huge army retreat if it is unfavorable? You said that you want to recruit tens of thousands of mercenaries, so many How to recruit? How to train? How to coordinate? Once the army is marching, the country will be empty. If other countries take the opportunity to fight our country, how should they respond?"

A series of'how' questions left Sander speechless, and he became irritated and said: "Even if we don't attack the Ming Dynasty homeland, at least we can do it to protect the security of Manchuka? What are the requirements to ask, here It is the only way for oriental spices, porcelain, silk and tea to flow. As long as they have absolute trading rights here, Cairo and Mecca will be completely bankrupt, and Venice will not be able to get the spices and silks it needs, unless Send their merchants to Portugal to spend a lot of gold coins."

Hiroshi Miyamoto, eager for revenge, didn’t mind that the Portuguese sank a few of their warships, but he was sceptical about the failure on the land of Daimyo, and urged Ezeger and Sander to fight against Akira, and La Mario Pedro and Pedro were opposed, and the two sides quarreled endlessly. Alonso, the head of the mercenary group, watched his nose and his heart, as if an old monk had entered his mind.

The two parties were arguing and couldn’t talk, an oriental came in hurriedly and whispered a few words to the waiter. The waiter hurriedly led him to Miyamoto Hiroshi. Miyamoto’s face suddenly changed after hearing him whisper a few words. Is extremely ugly.

The two parties who were arguing stopped, and Ezeger asked strangely, "Mr. Miyamoto, what happened?"

Miyamoto Hiroshi put his hands on his knees, and said one word at a time: "Your Excellency, I just received the news that the Folang robot in Hao Jing was forced to flee to Wuzhou Island because he killed the sea channel envoy who was asking for bribes. They...have been defeated by the Ming army. My people saw thousands of Franco robots being escorted passing by on the streets of Fuzhou."

Azerg said in surprise: "Why? I know those people. Although they are smugglers, they are not weak in force. Their four main battleships are not much worse than our battleships. I am preparing to send People go to contact them and hope to join forces with them. How many battleships did the Ming army dispatch and how long did it last?"

Miyamoto Hiroshi hesitated for a while and said: "The large battleships in Fuzhou Port did not go to sea. So my people can’t figure out how many ships they dispatched, but we know that the barracks dispatched troops to sea. They set off early in the morning. Returning at dusk, it took only one day to go back and forth."

The noise in the hall has completely disappeared, and even a needle can be heard silently on the ground. After a long time, La Mario rose up and said loudly in a high-pitched tone: "Generals and gentlemen. We must make a decision right away. We can't wait until the Ming army ships under our noses to negotiate. I think The most correct way to do this is to get in touch with Ming Ting immediately. Negotiate to resolve the issue of Manchuria."

He pointed to the door and said loudly: "The combat power of the Ming Army naval divisions is already obvious. They can try their best to capture rather than kill our immigrants, which also shows that they have the sincerity to negotiate. The opportunity is fleeting. Can’t wait any longer, gentlemen. I don’t want the soldiers in Ming armor to rush in directly from the door when our banquet is over, and then take us from the dining table into the cell. In accordance with His Majesty’s will, with them Negotiate!"

Azerger and Sander looked at each other. After a long time, Azerger sat down and said: "...Well, Sander, send someone to get in touch with Yang Ling, and we will negotiate. We are willing to compare with lighting. The old rule of the vassal state. Pay tribute to them by calling them vassals in order to obtain freedom in trade and the right to own the thorns."

He raised his head and said to Sander: "Immediately send someone to inform Governor Albuquerque to deploy as many warships and troops as possible, as much as possible, and reinforce the full thorns as soon as possible to prevent any accidents." /

Yang Ling is extremely satisfied with the decision made by He Zongbing, Cheng Qiyun, and Adeni’s "three-person military team". I am extremely satisfied with the results. However, the fact that Adeni had also personally landed on the island to fight still made him terrified.

As soon as the lingering fear of Yang Ling came back to the room, she imposed family law on Adeni. The tight and elastic little **** was slapped several times, in return for an aggrieved and pitiful look. But he refused to ask for mercy and admit his mistake.

Yang Ling has nothing to do, and instead punishes Qiyun. The same slap fell, but the eyebrows were charming and the body was as crisp as a snake. Cheng Qiyun was beaten with a spring look, like a vine wrapped around him. Yang Ling was slapped with no skin to play. I wanted to shake my husband, but in the end it turned into a war of intestines. , Cheng Qiyun was finally fought... begging for mercy.

However, this thing that left no troubles still gave Yang Ling a warning: family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs, there are serious and serious things. Sometimes housework should be given up, and the second daughter's affection should be given up.

If his subordinates made the wrong decision when he was not there and used brutal killings to attract the stabs and the pirates to initiate an offensive in advance, then the Ming army may fall into a passive position if it is not prepared enough, at least it will have to pay more Because of his selfishness, countless innocent lives were in vain.

The appearance of black slaves in the smuggling team in the arrested area made him a little surprised. After interrogation of Yang Ling, he learned that the West has now started the black slave trade, and there have been pirate ships specializing in the capture of human trafficking in other places for profit. The black slaves in this smuggling fleet were bought from Western pirate ships.

At the same time, because they live in Macau, although they rarely resell the population from the local area of ​​Macau, they also sell the western population to the East. They are doing the dirty business of the West in the act of abducting and selling women and children in the East. In this way, Yang Ling Naturally, the first evil will not be dealt with lightly. Except for the placement of women, children and slaves from others, the most evil ones will be handed over to the prosecutor's office for interrogation and handled in accordance with the Great Ming law.

This morning, a Fujian businessman came to the Governor's Mansion and asked to see Master Yang of Yang Ling by name. The governor’s mansion has become accustomed to some discordant people coming to see the governor, and they also know that most of these cats and dogs are not small, so they did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly welcomed him into the living room, and went to report Yang Ling.

Yang Ling heard the news and hurried to the living room. The businessman met Yang Ling and politely said: "Grassman Jia Qingyou pays homage to the Governor."

Yang Ling smiled and said: "Mr. Jia, you are welcome~ IndoMTL.com~ Are you...?"

Jia Qingyou didn't dare to sit down, and said with a smile: "The Caomin is a businessman who often travels to Nanyang to buy and sell medicinal materials."

Yang Ling heard that he was a real businessman. As soon as he lost his curiosity, he couldn't help being a little slack. He sat lazily on the chair and said indifferently, "Oh, you don’t have to be too polite. Sit down and talk. What do you have Do you want to see the Governor?"

Jia Qingyou still didn't dare to sit. He wiped his sweat and stood there neatly and said: "The Caomin is a businessman. When the cargo ship passed through full thorns, it was hijacked by a group of ghosts and pirates there. They detained. After he lost the Caomin’s ship, he asked Caomin to send a message to the adults. Only when the news arrives, they are willing to return the cargo ship."

"Huh?" Yang Ling suddenly leaned forward, paying attention: "Full of thorns? Francis pirates? What news do they want you to bring?"

Jia Qingyou said authentically: "They said that Franco Ji defeated Man Cijia and ruled that place. Now that the Emperor Great Ming is quite dissatisfied with this, he is very worried. Franco Jiguo is unwilling to do this with Great Ming. There is a war, so I want to negotiate with Great Ming on Manchuka. If the adults agree, please sign a letter to me. Caomin will bring back Manchuka. The adults will specify a date. They are willing to send a mission to negotiate with the adults in Xiamen."
