"Mr. Chen's battle is indeed a matter of seconds. The so-called "soldier who defeats others without fighting must be like this!"

On the wide ship outside the Macau port, a general on the bow of the ship held the side of the ship and looked into the port. A man dressed in a scribe next to him was complimenting with conscientious praise.

The general was wearing the light armor of a navy general. He was in his thirties and had a slender figure. He listened to the praises of the people beside him, but he had no joy on his face. "Mr. Gao has been too awarded, so what's so great about this? He just got empty-handed!"

"Mr. Chen is too humble. This time the imperial court issued an order to promote the adult to the admiral of the Guangdong Navy. He has encouraged him. This time, he cleared Macau and used this surprise weapon to win a great victory before the troops were launched. This is really amazing. The students have seen it with their own eyes. They really admired it. After returning to Guangzhou, they must report to the adults. It is also a good start after the promotion!" Having said this, Chen Zi turned around and thanked him:

"Mr. Chen thanked Mr. Chen for this kindness. Mr. Wang has been in the Great Master's curtain for a long time. He has seen and heard all the things he saw were all about the quelling and suppressing thieves in the southwest. He doesn't know much about the sea affairs. Lao Zhang, tell Mr. Gao, if the foreign ships in the port are prepared, what would happen to us?" A general of the Qianzheng uniformed soldiers next to him heard this and Gongmu stepped forward and said, "If they are prepared, our arson will not be able to rely on in front of him. I am afraid that they will set sail out of the port one by one." The scholar was a little confused and couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Mr. Chen, we have more than 150 large and small warships this time. How many foreign ships can there be? Even if they rush out?" Chen Zi and Mr. Qian looked at each other, and smiled bitterly. Mr. Qian clasped his fists and said:

"Sir, let's not talk about the other ones, just talk about the three largest ships, with more than a hundred cannons, and they are firing in turn. How can we hold on to them? Let's try our best to see if we can move forward, but most of these will be sunk even if we move forward.

Mr. Gao is the rank of the military affairs of the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi. The imperial court urgently handed over the decree, so the whole country in Guangdong naturally did not dare to neglect it. Not only did he ask Chen Zhen to lead the navy to mobilize, but in order to facilitate coordination with the local government, he also sent his trusted ranks and contacted him in the center.

In the south, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi has been constantly pacifying and destroying the rebellions of all ethnic groups in the southwest. From the Governor to the Governor, civil servants have been related to the military affairs and war formation all day long. Mr. Gao is quite familiar with the war.

Yesterday, Chen Zi requisitioned civilian ships and filled with firewood and made-up merchant ships into the port. Today, with an order, these fake merchants only attached to the large ships with cannons from the foreigners, and immediately ignited the fire when there were any abnormal movements.

Seeing the foreign ships in the port, they were honestly begging and looked like they were slaughtered, Mr. Gao was extremely happy to see it, but he didn't expect to get this statement. He was a little depressed for a moment, and he was quiet, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and said +r "If you say this, isn't the Ming Dynasty's seashore dangerous? Let the foreign ships come and go?" "Now what are the seashores in the Ming Dynasty? The foreign ships have always come and go freely... Mr. Gao should not see that our Guangdong naval warships are old. As Chen knows, this is already considered good." "...... The foreign ships are so sharp, can't we build them?"

"Mr. Gao, the silver from there is now spent on Jiubian. When Pingyao was in chaos, 100,000 yuan was urgent, but the money was not enough to be transferred. Doesn't Mr. Gao know about this?" Speaking of this, Mr. Gao was speechless. He sighed and turned to the direction of the port and whispered: "Is there nothing I can do about this?"

"It's not necessarily true. Some people say it's a big deal in Macau, and some say it's a joke, but Chen feels that it's a deep meaning and can't take photos of many things. Mr. Gao nodded and said in a low voice:

"Along with this order, Lord Ling's friend in the capital also sent several private messages, saying that this matter might have been done by the young Qianhu Wangtong of Tianjin Wei, instigated His Majesty. The military and national affairs have actually become a child's play. I heard that the young Qianhu spent some time in Macau that year...

Chen Zi smiled and said to himself:

"It's not necessarily a joke..."

However, this was not heard by Mr. Gao. At this time, someone in the port waved the flag and the sailor who had been lying on the mast and looked around, shouting loudly:

"Sir, I have believed the port and said everything is right. Please ask the adults to go ashore to do the work.

"The Japanese pirates and pirates often choose to repair ships and buy weapons here, which is very harmful. I originally planned to return the relevant people to the land, but the sea territories are easy to be ridden by thieves when they return, but they are not beautiful. They are specially ordered to go north with the ship and stay in Tianjin Wei temporarily. When peace comes, they will return to Macau and return home to their own choice.

After getting ashore, all the Portuguese figures in Macau were gathered together, and Mr. Gao spoke to them with a serious expression.

This result was surprising. Swazi and officials of all sizes were surprised, but they could not raise any objections. The interest class of the Portuguese Macau was the local merchants and clerks. These craftsmen and craftsmen were also inferior. If they were missing, they would just come again. Since the Ming Dynasty did not want them to stay here, then drive them away. Not to mention going north, even if they were killed now, Macau would not have any objection. After everyone looked at each other, several large merchants and officials with higher status nodded slightly; they immediately said in person: "Since the respected general said so, although I feel regretful about the general's rude behavior today, I still put peace and overall situation first and I am willing to respect your arrangements."

Chen Zhen sneered at such a forced expression, then looked at the port and the respectful Swazi, but remembered something and said a few words to the general translator in a low voice.

The general interpreter was stunned for a moment, bowed and bowed, then walked to the people and asked in a big manner: "The noble General Chen has something to ask you, who are the best generals here, who are the best soldiers, and the generals and soldiers each report five names!?"

Unexpectedly, Mingguo would report this problem. Low-level officers and soldiers also didn't care and could supplement them from the country at any time.

"The best military general" heard this, Swazi subconsciously straightened his back. Just as he was about to say his name, he found that both the Portuguese and the Ming people looked at him with contempt and swallowed immediately. He saliva and, in the way of throwing the general in the short man, issued ten names. "Because they are from Franji, you must also send troops to escort him. Didn't you just say the names of ten people? Let's go together!"

This is not a matter of interest, but only ten soldiers. Most of the people who come here to serve in the army from Europe far away from their hometowns were nowhere to go, so they were sent away. Lieutenant Colonel Swazi nodded, Chen Zi turned his head to look at the port, pointed to the largest ship and said, "There are almost four hundred people, and the government ships are not enough. Just load the shovels with that ship to the north. The government will send soldiers on duty and will also send several ships to follow." After hearing the translation, several Portuguese merchants finally became a little anxious. One of them hurriedly said, "Great General, this ship is about to go to the South China Sea. If we go to the north, we will lose a lot of Jincheng."

Chen Zi would pay attention to their explanations, but he just led his personal soldiers to check the forts and forts along the coast of Macau. Mr. Gao said with a stern face: "I just told you what to do, not to ask you whether you agree or not. Do you want this ship, or do you want to see the port turn into a sea of ​​fire now..."

It was already a little dark, and people standing by the sea could see the torches on the harbor's arson ships. The Ming soldiers had changed a few fire rules.

Compared with this hugely expensive armed merchant ship, the profit of a voyage is delayed and it is easy for people to distinguish the weight of the simple number.

Chen Zhen was checking the fort in Macau facing the port. A close confidant next to him looked back and asked in a low voice:

"Master, my subordinates are taking the initiative to say that the news I heard here did not mention the ships of these strange people, nor did I ask them to send troops to follow me. Mayor, you do this, will you?" Chen Zi smiled and looked at the sea and whispered: "What should the emperor and the young thousand households do? I am so cunning that I will only add icing on the cake if I do this..."

In the second half of July, even in northern Zhili, it was still hot. However, someone around him was waving his fan and fanning the wind and sat in the building boat, sailing on the canal. From time to time, there was a breeze blowing and a moraine sour plum soup to quench his thirst, which was very comfortable.

Chu Zhaoren, the former eunuch who served in Nanjing and the current eunuch who served in the horses, is so comfortable now. Sitting in the boat, there are more than a dozen small eunuchs who serve them, and they are busy all the time.

Hu Zhizhong, the chief officer of the Sixth Chronicle of the Sili Supervisor, went to Nanjing to take office. He had two official ships in his entourage, but the team of Eunuch Chu had more than fifty large ships filled with money and specialties.

The eunuchs in Nanjing almost mean that they were the ones in the Jiangnan area of ​​Tianguan. They were of high status and powerful. The people below were very flattering. Eunuch Chu was in Nanjing for five years, so he naturally had a lot of flattery and filial piety. This time he was promoted to Beijing, so of course he had to know the truth and be wise. Cheng Yi was about to leave Cheng Yi.

The fifty ships used for their own use and those who were in the capital were to be assigned to all the big men. Eunuch Chu had already calculated and allocated them. He knew in his heart that if it weren’t for the diligent and flattery of the whole family in recent years, and the prominent position of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, how could he be his turn? How many people in the twenty-four yamen were watching!

Since we have reached this position, we can operate calmly and wait for any further opportunities. The fleet headed north and it was like Tianjin Harbour...
