Chapter 694
one day!
Time flies very quickly, but it only takes twenty-four hours or twelve hours.
In fact, it took less than five hours to go through the argument, and after a break of the argument, the Portuguese officials in Macau made a decision to return it to the Ming Dynasty.
Not because they are willing, but because this is the only choice, otherwise they will not only lose all their property, but also become prisoners of war and may even become slaves.
In contrast, after surrender, they not only could leave safely, but also preserve their property. Of course, this property refers to what they could take away. As for the fixed assets on the island, those became the spoils of the Ming Dynasty.

At noon the next day, despite all the reluctance, Fei Susha surrendered and made a decision quickly. However, when he was about to leave, his heart was filled with a miscellaneous array.
"My Lord, please bless me and have mercy on me..."
Feisusha prayed in the church, and he and Macau officials were about to leave, but the missionaries stayed.
At least Zheng Zhilong is a believer, and he will not kill missionaries or priests.
When she was about to leave, looking at the priest who was seeing him off, Fei Susha said emotionally.
"Father, don't worry, at most one year, we will come back. By then, this place will definitely become the territory of Portugal, we..."
"Oh my god, Lord Governor, please don't do anything stupid."
"Yes, Governor General, it is absolutely the most unwise thing to go to war with Ming Kingdom."
All the priests stopped Fei Susha from going to war with Ming Kingdom. Is this guy going to do something big?
It’s not that Fei Susha wants to do something big, as an official, Macau is lost in his hands. In any case, he must give Lisbon an explanation.
How to explain?
Of course, he couldn't say directly that I was forced to hand over Macau due to the military threat from the Ming people and in order to protect everyone's lives.
So, no matter what, he needed to cover up in order to paralyze the Ming people and to buy time.
After all, Macau's defense is limited, but there are only a few hundred people. Surrender is only temporary, and I will concentrate my strength in order to concentrate.
All right!
God will testify for me, for the colonial cause of Portugal in Asia!
Although he was full of anger and reluctance, when he was about to leave, facing Zheng Zhilong who came to hand over, Fei Susha said in a rather indignant tone.
"Your Excellency, you will definitely regret your decision today!"
Faced with the threat, Zheng Zhilong sneered.
"Repent, the Dutch said so in Liaoluo Bay. I want to see what you Portuguese have..."
...
When the news that Macau was taken back reached the South Heaven Gate, it was already the seventh year of Qiansheng. However, it seemed that there was no impact on the people here. In addition to the joy of the maritime merchants, the others were still immersed in another news.
"Let them pay the price!"
The cold words without any room for maneuvering made the hearts of countless people who were exiled here chill. They also made them realize that from now on, there will be no hope of returning to the Ming Dynasty.
Hope was finally completely shattered in the first month of the year...
After years of colonization, the immigrants of the Ming Dynasty not only reclaimed the land on "Lion Island", but even the rainforests on the other side of the Johor Strait were burned for dozens of miles, becoming a vast fertile land.
Nandu Village is located on the other side. Most of the villagers in Nandu Village are from the Chen family in Liyang. After several years of hard work, the bamboo houses and thatched houses when they first came here have disappeared, but Ming-style brick and tile buildings, green tiles and white walls, ponds and paddy fields. All of this seems to be no different from the hometown in Liyang.
Except... this is the Nantianmen, and the Chen family is the prisoner who was exiled here.
Early that morning, just as there was a little smoke coming from the chimney, suddenly, a cry came from a house.
"Dad! Come on, my dad is dead..."
Soon the yard was crowded with people. Looking at the old man hanging in the house, everyone sighed. What else can it do?
"Lao Liu is still unable to think about it!"
An old man sighed.
"Hey, who can think about it? How could our Chen family end up in this way..."
With such sighs, Chen Yechen felt that his face was hot, and he could even feel the hatred in the eyes of his relatives. However, even so, he still walked over to help.
Before he could enter the yard, someone stopped him there.
"Uncle fifteen, my nephew wants to..."
"Go back!"
The middle-aged man standing outside the yard sighed.
"But, but... my nephew wants to..."
"Go back!"
The middle-aged man patted his shoulder and said.
"Go home! Don't come out these two days!"
He returned home in a daze and saw his father reading a book in the study through the window screen. He lifted the screen door and walked in. It was under the protection of the screen door and mosquito net that few immigrants died of various diseases.
"Dad, Master Six is gone."
After learning from his son that his sixth uncle committed suicide, Chen Mingxia was stunned for a long time and then said.
"Let me ask someone to give you twenty taels of silver to my uncle's house."
Then, Chen Mingxia continued to read the book.
"The boy knows."
Seeing his son's infatuation, Chen Mingxia said.
"Yechen, how have you read the book recently?"
"Dad, what's the use of even a child studying the scriptures? His fame and fortune have been eliminated. In this Nantianmen, what county test is there?"
The resentment in his son's words made Chen Mingxia's face slightly change, but what could he say? In the end, he had to say.
"Yechen, you always have to read this book. Maybe there will be a chance. In the future, the Nantianmen will definitely set up prefectures. At that time, maybe Your Majesty will give you a favor..."
Maybe...
Chen Mingxia himself doesn’t believe this!
From being a dignified Hanlin to exile in the Nantianmen, Chen Mingxia understood many things, especially when he first arrived at the Nantianmen, he burned forests and cleared land with his tribe members. During this period, he contracted several dysentery and even became infected with malaria. If it weren't for the good medicine given by the doctor, his life would have been left in the forest of the Nantianmen.
However, after several years of life and death, he not only realized it, but also learned from his mistakes and must seize the opportunity. Even if he was in the Nantianmen, he had to find a way to make a name for himself.
And his son is his chance.
After all, he is a "rebel" and there is no possibility of a comeback no matter what. But his son is different. He is still young and has a chance. As long as he takes the imperial examination in the future, his son will definitely pass the exam.
The old ones don’t have a chance, and the younger ones have a chance.
Especially after the "Si Shui Incident", Wei Yunmei's fame in the South China Sea made Chen Mingxia firmly believe in his judgment that Wei Yunmei was Wei Xuelian's son, and he and Wei Xuelian were old acquaintances. After Wei Yunmei seized Si Shui City with dozens of sailors, he could regain the reputation of the Wei family.
The Chen family can do the same.
I saw his opportunity!
Just then, a thunder sound came from a distance...
