Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Bugalo, who did not understand the situation at all, immediately sent people to the former cottage to protest to the Taiping Army, thinking that Zhou Shixiang's request for garrisoning troops was very unreasonable, and the security of Macau's 'men' was also very good, and there were no bandits. The Portuguese did not need any help from the Taiping. . For more latest chapters visit: ШЩЩ.⑦⑨XS.сОМ.

At the same time, Bougallo angrily condemned the Taiping army's blockade of the Macau city wall as an extremely barbaric act, which would cause the Portuguese and all Westerners in Macau to suffer from disease and starvation. If the Taiping Army continues to persist in this barbaric act, the Macau "Macau" authorities will protest to your country's court and reserve the right to take the next step.

To this, Zhou Shixiang's response was that Macao's "gate" has been the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times. The reason why the Ming Dynasty allowed the Portuguese to live in Macao's "Macao" was to pity these Westerners who came from afar in the spirit of humanitarianism. People, so that they can have a foothold and not drift on the sea all day long, but this does not mean that the Ming Dynasty gave up its jurisdiction over Macau's 'men' and gave this territory to the Portuguese, so as the Ming Dynasty ambassador The commander-in-chief of Guangdong, Zhou Shixiang, regarded dispatching troops into Macao's gate to maintain law and order as a matter within his duty, and at the same time, it was also an important manifestation of the Ming Dynasty's jurisdiction over Macao's gate, which was completely legal and moral.

"Of course, if Governor Bugalo must protest to the court, this official will not hinder it. Oh, right now our court and His Majesty the Emperor are in Kunming, Yunnan, which is far from Fragrant Mountain. You have to send people quickly to ask for Otherwise, the time will be too long. Before this, the army of this official will not lift the blockade of the city wall of Guan Macao, and will also send navy to the waters around the Macao 'gate' to prevent the pirates from wreaking havoc."

"I hope you can understand that our actions are entirely for the sake of the long-term stability of Macau. We have no intention of treating you as an enemy, but we have noticed that many Qing 'spies' and pirates take advantage of Macau. The gate is a threat to our army, so we must send troops into the gate to clear those threats."

"Please go back and tell Governor Bugallo that if he can face up to my Ming Dynasty's jurisdiction over Macau's Macau, then this official can sit down and have a good talk with him."

Zhou Shixiang kindly reminded the messenger of the specific location of the Ming court, and at the same time threatened to blockade the waters of Macau's 'men' with a marine. In the end, he said he could negotiate with Bougallo to reach terms acceptable to both sides.

Sailor, Zhou Shixiang did not. The Taiping army's water camp currently has only a thousand people, and there are only two warships. All they can do is to use the rivers of Xiangshan to transport supplies. If they want to go out to sea to block the "gate" of Macao, it is a fool's dream.

However, the Taiping Army had no navy. But it doesn't mean that Zhou Shixiang can't get the help of the navy. The Ming army in Guangdong lacked everything and could not do anything. However, there was no shortage of warships, and there was no shortage of naval officers and soldiers who could fight water battles.

General Ling Hai Chen Qice's navy was the most powerful naval force that Zhou Shixiang could draw on. Chen Qice's army with hundreds of warships was much stronger than the Portuguese with only a few warships. But 'spend' some money and food to ask the old general to send some warships from Tanjiang to the sea to scare the Portuguese to Macau.

As for the Portuguese navy, it was a joke, Zhou Shixiang never worried. According to Xiao Bailang, there are several Portuguese warships in Macau. The main force of their Eastern Fleet is in Goa, India, and it will take half a year to arrive from there at the earliest.

Half a year is enough. When the Portuguese fleet from Goa arrives, the yellow 'flower' vegetables are cold.

At sea, the Taiping might not be able to defeat the Portuguese. On land, the Portuguese have to consider whether they have the ability to land and fight for a long time.

The messenger of Bugalo left the former cottage angrily.

Zhou Shixiang was not in a hurry. The blockade has just begun. Judging from the blockade in the past few days, the Portuguese are still far from jumping to the point where they still have some savings.

The right battalion of the infantry, which was transferred back from the northern line, took on the important task of blocking the Guan'ao city wall, and the area 10 miles along the city wall was a restricted area. No one is allowed to approach, let alone transport food, fruits and vegetables to Macau behind the city wall.

The security teams of the townships and villages in the former cottage also set up checkpoints on various roads leading to Macau's "Macao" to prevent those "smuggling" traffickers from secretly transporting food to Macau's "Macao". In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the villagers, Zhou Shixiang promised that if the villagers moved to report suspicious persons to the Taiping Army, once they were found, they would be rewarded.

Shao Chengguo's riding camp was also transferred. Every day, we go back and forth on the blockade line to search for those smugglers who try to cross the blockade line and smuggle into Macau.

The blockade of Macau's "men" can be said to be a narrow version of the Qinghai ban. These days, in order to shock those desperate smugglers, the Taiping army also used some wood to hang some human heads outside the city wall of Macau.

All of these people were captured and killed on the spot after they had secretly crossed the border. However, the Taiping Army did not kill indiscriminately like the Manchu Qing did. They only beheaded the smugglers and bandits among them, and the rest secretly wanted because they were concerned about the lives of their relatives in Macau. For those who shipped grain, their grain was confiscated, held for a few days, and then returned.

In order to completely seal off the Guan'ao City Wall, Zhou Shixiang issued a strict order that no one should be 'selfish'. If anyone dares to 'privately' let someone go there, once found, the officers and soldiers in charge of the blockade will be severely punished~www .wuxiaspot.com~ If the circumstances are serious, it will even be immediately engaged by military law.

Under this strict order, in just three days, the Guan'ao City Wall, which was more than ten kilometers long, was completely sealed off, and no one was seen except the Taiping Army patrolling within ten kilometers.

There was no way for the Portuguese to get supplies from the sea, because most of the coastal areas of Guangdong were controlled by the Ming army. However, just in case, Zhou Shixiang still sent someone to ask Chen Qice to cooperate, and dispatched some navy warships to the waters of Macau's 'men'. Cut off any sea trade with Macau 'Macau', so that the Portuguese cannot obtain food supplies from the coast of Guangdong.

For this reason, Zhou Shixiang was once again blackmailed by Zhu Tong, and a quarter of the supplies robbed by the two northwards were sent to Xinhui. In addition, under the coordination of Zhu Tong, Zhou Shixiang obtained the help of various ministries of the coastal Ming army with 30% of the materials after the completion of the matter. These included the Hu Ben generals Wang Xing and Tang Wang Zhu Yue in Wenchun, Taishan.

Xu Yingyuan got in touch with King Tang. After learning about Wencun's ****, Zhou Shixiang specially allocated 700 shi of grain and asked Chen Qice's navy ship to send it to Wencun. In addition, there were some weapons and weapons on the boat. Zhou Shixiang even asked Duke Xiang of Song to write a letter to King Tang. There was nothing in the letter, but simply expressed Zhou Shi's admiration for King Tang. Mobile users, please visit m.
