After Fernando's organization was established, a plan for Jasdu and Andrade, or a decision on Macau's future, began.

Soon, the Macau Council passed the decision of Fernando to officially become a member of the Council, and then the Council held a re-election. Fernando, who had just joined the Council, was directly elected by a high vote and became the speaker. Subsequently, after Fernando came up with a legal effect on the Ming Dynasty, the Council, which was already strongly dissatisfied with Jashidu, Andrad and the Kingdom, passed a resolution, that is, to formally expel Jashidu and Andrad.

This resolution was conducted privately, and Jasdu and Andrad had not received any news before, and even Fernando was not clear about becoming the Speaker. After all, on the surface, Fernando could be regarded as the negotiator sent to the Ming Dynasty by the Governor's Office. As negotiator, he had to convince the members of the parliament to reach an agreement. This had long been agreed by Jasdu and Andrad, but in fact, Fernando also communicated privately under the banner of the Governor's Office. Jasdu and Andrad, who had been in the dark, did not understand until the last moment.

Unfortunately, it was too late by then. When the surging soldiers and parliamentarians rushed directly into the Governor's Mansion under the leadership of Fernando, and when the two honors Jasdu and Andrade were dining, the man was stunned at first, and then looked at the elegant Fernando standing in front of them, and was very angry.

"Fernando, you damn poisonous snake, despicable! You will go to hell if you do this!"

"You cannot do this. I am the governor appointed by His Majesty the King. You have no right to make such a decision!"

Andrad tried to resist, and as for Jia Shidu, he roared angrily, and the two tried to save the situation with their final efforts. Unfortunately, Fernando could not listen to this. He waved his hand gently and then a few big and thick soldiers rushed up and forced the two nobles out.

After being dragged out of the Governor's Mansion in a panic, Jasdu and Andrad were directly thrown on an armed merchant ship. The Macau Council announced that the merchant ship would carry them back to the local land. As for their dissatisfaction with the result, they could return to the local land and appeal to His Majesty the King, but now, the resolution of the Council is unquestionable.

"Where is my fleet? Why don't you return the fleet to me! You are treason! You are going to gallows!" Andrad tried to put on his airs as the commander of the fleet and roared, struggling and roaring.

"In view of your current situation, the Council unanimously believes that you are no longer suitable to serve as the commander of the fleet, so I am very sorry, my General." The person who brought them on the ship replied coldly, and a few sailors sent Jasdu and Andrad to the cabin, and locked the cabin door regardless of their opposition.

"Bastard! You can't treat me like this. I am the admiral of the Empire! I am the supreme commander of the Far East Fleet! Let me go! Return my fleet to me! Let me go!" In the cabin, Andrad kept slapping the cabin door because of a trapped beast, but no one paid attention to him.

At this time, Jia Shidu seemed much calmer. Although he felt extremely angry, Jia Shidu considered more than Andrad.

As a politician, when Jasdu saw Fernando appear in front of him and read the resolution of the council, he already knew that his mission in the Far East had completely failed. At present, expulsion may be the best result, but as the governor appointed by the king, he was expelled back to his country. He also knew in his heart what would happen when he returned to his hometown.

In this case, it is certainly impossible to hand over the Far East Fleet to Andrad. No one would be so stupid that he would hand over such a powerful force to the expelled governor and general, unless Fernando and the people in the discussion board were fools. For this reason, Jashidu seemed extremely calm. He had accepted the reality and now he only hoped to get the forgiveness of His Majesty the King when he returned to his hometown.

Unfortunately, Jia Shidu had no such opportunity, and even Andrad no longer had the possibility of climbing onto his fleet deck.

Just the day after the armed merchant ship left Macau, with a few sparse gunfires suddenly came, about an hour later, a sailor told the two priests in the cabin with a very "repentant" expression through the cabin door that they unfortunately met the Ming navy on their way back to China, because the war between Portugal and Ming was not over. As the hostile side, the Portuguese armed merchant ship, after a "fever" battle, the captain Gustavo finally decided to surrender in front of the powerful Ming navy to ensure the safety of the lives and property of all crew members (including the two of them) in front of the powerful Ming navy.

In this regard, the former governor of Macau, Jia Shidu, who had just been expelled from Macau, and General Andrade, the former commander of the Portuguese Far East Fleet, became prisoners of the Ming Navy in a blink of an eye.

While they were captured, a huge Ming naval fleet appeared directly in Macau. As the supreme commander of the fleet, Wang Dong "captured" all the warships of the Portuguese Far East Fleet anchored in the port, accompanied by the Macau Council Speaker, His Excellency Flenando and all members of the Council.

Originally, those warships had been anchored in the port after the Battle of the South China Sea due to the Macau Council. While Fernando attacked Jasdu and Andrade, he had disarmed the fleet. All officers at all levels in the fleet were detained by the Council. As for ordinary soldiers, they were naturally replaced by the Macau Guards.

It can be said that Wang Dong easily obtained this powerful Portuguese fleet from the Portuguese in Macau. When he boarded Andrade's flagship Enrique, the pride of this Portuguese navy had become the spoils of the Ming Navy. In addition to the first-class battleship Enrique, there were nine second-class battleships in total. These ten huge battleships were enough to make the Ming Navy the real Far East overlord in one day.

After receiving these warships, Wang Dong, on behalf of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, read out the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty for the future decision of Macau. From today on, the Ming Dynasty and Macau officially ended the war. As the party that provoked the war, Macau needs to pay war compensation to the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the captured war culprits and the Portuguese Far East Fleet, Macau also needs to compensate the Ming Dynasty for five million cross-months, or equivalent to 11 million taels of silver.

The Ming Dynasty allowed these compensations to be compensated in ten years, that is, paying the Ming Dynasty 500,000 yuan in compensation every year. In addition, the Ming Dynasty officially took back the ownership of Macau and stationed the 6th naval army in Macau to ensure the ruling rights of Macau.

However, considering the actual situation in Macau and Speaker Fernando's respectful attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty granted Macau a permission to allow the Macau Council and the City Hall, composed of Speaker Fernando, to govern Macau, to open Macau as a free port and a free city, and to allow Macau's Portuguese merchants and other registered Western merchants to trade freely with the Ming Dynasty within the scope of the Ming Dynasty's laws...

When this imperial decree with more than a thousand words was read out in the hall of the Macau Council and translated into Portuguese by the general translator, all the people present held their breath and opened their ears and listened attentively to the content of the imperial decree.

Although the imperial edict emphasized that the responsible party for the South China Sea naval war belonged to the Portuguese side of Macau, and put forward strict punishment requirements for the defeated Macau side, such as huge compensation and direct revocation of Macau's rule, as well as the right to station troops, etc.

All these made all the Portuguese present sad, but the next good news was good. Although the Ming Emperor nominally took back Macau, he also determined Macau's status as a free port and a free city with an official nature. Not only that, Macau's daily governance will still be governed by the Portuguese in Macau, that is, Fernando's Macau Council and the Town Hall. In addition, the Ming Dynasty also appropriately opened up its direct trade authority for Macau and the mainland, which made everyone ecstatic after being hit.

What was the purpose of these Western merchants coming to the Far East? Isn’t it just to gain more wealth? The Far East, China, and the Western countries have always been a country of gold. The beginning of the era of European sailing was to find a route to the Far East. Unfortunately, China’s attitude towards Western countries, whether in the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Empire before, has always been strictly prevented and restricted. Even in Macau, it is not so easy for Western merchants to trade freely with mainland businesses.

But now this barrier has been completely abolished. With the rule of Macau belonging to the Ming Dynasty, that is, Macau has nominally belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. All Portuguese living in Macau, even other Westerners, can also become official citizens of Macau as long as they obtain the household registration of the Council.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not directly declare that Macau citizens were the people of the Ming Dynasty, it did not deny this. At the same time, it also gave Macau the status of free ports and free cities. This result made all Macau people ecstatic. When the last word of the imperial edict was read out, the entire chamber of the meeting was quiet at first, and then there were waves of carnival cries. The sound was so violent that it could simply lift the roof of the meeting hall.

After the imperial edict was read, Speaker Fernando accepted the imperial edict on behalf of Macau. Soon at the door of the council, the flag representing the Kingdom of Portugal was lowered, replaced by the Ming Dynasty flag and a new flag with a green background, white lotus and five-star flag. It is said that this flag was designed by Emperor Zhu Yicheng of the Ming Dynasty. When the flag slowly rose, the whole Macau boiled like a festival.
