"This kind of act of blatant damage and infringement on the interests of Portuguese merchants is unacceptable to the gentlemen in Macau. This is an extremely dangerous act, and no one can monopolize this trade."

After listening to the Manila story told by Juan, although he knew that he could no longer get help from his allies, Alonso clearly expressed his attitude.

After hearing the statements of his colleagues, Juan was not surprised. The high-profit trade was something that no force could easily abandon. The trade line was once a target that the Manila gentlemen were coveted, otherwise what would the big-faced people build a city in Taipei for?

Restraining the little gloating thought in his heart, Juan reached out to lead the way, and smiled and hinted, "This kind of behavior is dangerous for both parties."

Standing at the southernmost end of Dayuan Island, you can see the "Er Kun" sandbank floating on the sea hundreds of meters away. The area of ​​this series of sandbanks named after Kun narrows in turn. In the future, all these small islands will be silted by sea sand, thus connecting with the island.

In the crossing plane, there is a sand embankment connected to the island at the southernmost end of Dayuan Island. This sand embankment and the sand embankment on the north line-tail island were built with the silt and sand of the Taijiang River from Haidilao. Now Taijiang has been completely blocked by two sand embankments, and outsiders can only enter and exit from the main channel of Dayuan.

Two Catholic envoys walked up to the wide and long sand embankment.

Alonso looked at the prosperous scenery across the Taijiang River. Juan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and then he kicked something under his feet, "Look at what this is."

Alonso lowered his head when he heard the sound. There was a long black iron pipe under his feet half buried in the sand, leading to the opposite bank of the sand embankment.

"I think this should be some kind of water pipe." Although I have never seen such cast iron pipes with a thigh thickness, Alonso still guessed the purpose of the iron pipe.

"Yes, the owner here brought clean water from the distant opposite shore and led it to the bathroom of the store through this water pipe."

Juan said this, walked a few steps forward, then bent down and pointed at the connection between the two water pipes and continued, "The craftsmen here have high skills. They can create many wonderful machines and buildings. You should go and see the water tower."

Alonso bent down and looked at the flange connecting the water pipes, nodded in agreement. "Yes, no one will deny this. I was deeply impressed by those boats without a galley. They had some strange machines that could act on their own."

"So, the hostile Xu is dangerous to both sides." Juan said meaningfully.

Alonso understood what he meant that since the craftsmen here could make those exquisite machines, they could also create powerful weapons. In fact, the joke about the Dutch who were sunk by the defenders' cannons at a distance of one liga had already spread to all forces in East Asia with the rum from the Pirate Bar.

If the above legend is just a joke, then the rifle with extremely exaggerated range and accuracy of the 28 Dakuanku is not legendary that many sailors have seen the power of this rifle, especially those who have drunk wine and fought in groups at the entrance of the Pirate Bar.

Therefore, Juan is not optimistic about Macau's use of force to resolve disputes in order to take care of Alonso's face, and he has repeatedly reminded this point in obscurely.

"These barbaric and backward Eastern pirates, the Lord's people should not be forced by them," Alonso said a little angry and helplessly.

"It's not a pirate. The mysterious pirate king Cao Chuan has been canonized as a general of the Ming Dynasty by the local governor." Juan said this, his face was full of irony. "The story of Elizabeth I and the great pirate Francis Drek is not new in this ancient country. The governor can complete it in a place."

Speaking of this, Juan's watch doesn't become bitter again. "It is worth noting that pirate leaders like Frances Drake and John Hawkins are often quite excellent in war."

When Alonso heard this, he nodded heavily, "Yes, the defeat of the Invincible Armada 40 years ago can be proved, please forgive me, that's a tragedy."

Juan waved his hand indifferently, and then he solemnly said to Alonso, "The Ming nobles who ruled this land are undoubtedly civilized people. Because no pirate can build such a beautiful and clean city envoy, you will soon feel that they are completely different from the barbaric Ming people on the Great Six."

"So." Juan paused and continued, "Believe me, don't use the previous way of thinking to deal with the owners here, their power is very strong."

After scattering on the sand dike that lasted several kilometers for a while, the two messengers who had exchanged opinions turned back.

After that, Alonso began a long wait. It was not until he walked around Taijiang that he finally received the summons from the time travelers. It had been 7 days since he arrived at the senior official.

The one who received the Portuguese messenger was Tang Xiaoqiao.

Because the time traveled was relatively late, Comrade Tang Xiaoqiao, a high-end talent who could speak three foreign languages, had no choice but to do stolen work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was his job as a hostage to the Dutch fleet and to receive a Portuguese envoy.

So, when Alonso came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in formal clothing, he naturally saw a bad-hearted Tang Xiaoqiao.

Therefore, the first meeting between the two sides ended unhappily.

The process was very simple. Alonso first raised a series of protests, but Tang Xiaoqiao refused them all, and then even threw out a memorandum intensified its efforts.

The content on the memorandum made Alonso escape from the angry crossing community not only demanded the establishment of a consulate in Macau, but also set up a customs office on the Portuguese territory. In the future, all ships traveling to and from the Pearl River Estuary will be responsible for tax collection and inspection by the crossing community.

This memo of ridiculous world made Alonso stunned. You should know that after the "visit and study" activities in the past few days, Alonso, who had truly realized some of the power of the time traveling country, actually no longer intends to fight with the time traveling people on this issue.

For the Portuguese, although it is a pity to lose this trade, it is far from being hurtful. The Portuguese, who monopolized the Guangzhou trade since 75 years ago, did not rely on this trade like other forces.

In Alonso's plan today, if he could exchange the trade rights of his major members for his trade, just like the Dutch, it would be a way to solve the problem.

However, after seeing this memorandum, Alonso's nose seemed to smell a smoke of gunpowder.&1t;b>The chapter content is being restored, please visit again later.&1t;/b>
