322. Threats from the Western Ocean [2/2]
Li Huamei opened the door and walked in. She saw Yi Yun and Chen Yuanyuan sitting beside the bed. The sheets were messy and messy. Even blind people could tell what was going on. If an ordinary woman saw this, she would generally blush and feel a little embarrassed. However, Li Huamei had been dealing with Westerners since she was a child and had been exposed to the free and open Western culture, so she didn't feel any fuss. Besides, she now has more important things to talk about and was not in the mood to care about those men and women.
She dragged a chair from the corner of the house, sat generously across from Yi Yun and Chen Yuanyuan, frowned and said, "Does the prince know about the place of Macau Oasis?"
"Macau?" When Yi Yun heard this name, he immediately remembered some stories about this city. Young people in later generations, even if they were blinded by history, would usually know a little about the ins and outs of Macau. He said in a tentative tone: "The Macau Oasis you are talking about is a small city on the coast of Fujian, right? It seems to be a place that was rented to Westerners..."
Li Huamei nodded and said, "It seems that the prince knows this place, but he doesn't know much about this place. I'll tell you in detail."
Li Huamei carefully explained the history of Macau oasis. It turned out that in 1493 of the Damengli, the Portuguese rode a sea boat and came to Damengli Kingdom. At that time, the West had already begun a vigorous era of navigation. Countless Western colonists began to go to the world. They landed in small tribal villages or small cities in Africa, Central Europe, America and other places, adopted an iron-blooded policy to beat the local natives, and then seized them as subordinates and occupied the territory.
After the Portuguese came to Dameng Kingdom, they wanted to deal with the natives to deal with Dameng Kingdom. They logged in the defense zone of the Thousand Stations of Dongguan Defense and sent dozens of people to capture Dameng Kingdom. Don’t laugh. It’s really just dozens of people who logged in, wanting to capture our Celestial Kingdom.
In the eyes of Westerners at that time, there were all a group of barbarians in the East. We sent dozens of people, which gave you such a lot of face.
As a result... these dozens of Western robbers collided with the army of Dameng Kingdom head-on. At that time, there were garrisons of Dameng Kingdom in Dongguan, not many, only one thousand people! This thousand people were led by a thousand households named Yuan Guang. Usually, they fished and basked the sun by the beach where there were no bird hairs. The Portuguese never expected that there was a country so large that there were even a thousand troops basking in the sun by the beach.
At that time, the cute people in the country had never seen Western colonists. I don’t know what this group of people came for, but they had seen muskets and knew that those who walked into their country with this thing must be the invaders and bad guys!
So Yuan Guang ordered a fight, and according to the tradition of the Dameng** team, he led the way and rushed up the first!
He killed his life when he rushed. The Portuguese muskets came in a row, and Yuan Guangqianhu was killed, but the thousand brothers under his command were not killed. When so many people rushed, the Portuguese were so scared that they ran away immediately.
After this incident, the Portuguese understood that this big cute country was not easy to deal with. Unlike the vegetable tribes in Africa and Central Europe, they could bully them at will. So they began to play various tricks, secretly landing on Tuen Mun Island to build cities, pretending to be Islamists, and smuggling... At the same time, they secretly assembled a fleet. They wanted to gather more people and give Da Meng Country a ruthless move.
In the year of 1521 of Dameng's reign, the previous emperor of Dameng's country finally couldn't stand these mice twitching around the corners of their eyes and ordered: "Turn away these annoying flies."
So Dameng Kingdom sent an envoy to ask the Portuguese to leave quickly and not to make tricks on my country. Of course, the Portuguese did not listen. They began to prepare for war and were ready to defeat the army of Dameng Kingdom!
The Tuen Mun Naval Battle eventually broke out. The Portuguese brought more than ten large sea ships and hundreds of soldiers. Such an army size seemed amazing to Portugal at that time. It was difficult to capture a small African army.
But what about the Dameng Kingdom? It didn't really play at all. Even officials of the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi did not dispatch them. They just sent an officer named Guangdong Haidao Deputy Envoy and brought the army to deal with the Portuguese.
The Portuguese are a little unhappy. You are so cute, you have only one small official to fight against my great Portuguese Empire. Do you look down on people too much?
As a result... When the troops of both sides met, the Portuguese cried... How many troops did the deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao, a small official like shrimp, lead? The answer is: 4,000 people! Fifty boats! The sea and land are advancing in unison.
The deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao used 4,000 people and 50 boats to play a combination of punches, easily hitting the Portuguese to the point of bruising and swollen face and running away in a panic. In our Chinese saying, you can kill you with a booster.
After this battle, the Portuguese no longer dared to challenge Damengguo, so they began to whisper to ask for forgiveness. The people of Damengguo are very polite. Since you apologize, I will forgive you for your humbleness. So I agreed that the Portuguese live in Macau Oasis and can do business under the government management of Macau Oasis.
Macau developed like this, with more and more Portuguese living in Macau Oasis. The entire oasis was also influenced by Western culture and the atmosphere became open. Later, Macau Oasis gradually became an excellent trading place. Under the jurisdiction of the government of Da Mengguo, the Portuguese maintained the order of the Macau harbor and turned it into a very prosperous place.
When Yi Yun heard this, he was already very clear about the affairs of Macau Oasis. Combined with the knowledge he brought from later generations, he knew that although Macau is still under the jurisdiction of the Dameng Kingdom government, it is actually the most important stronghold of the Portuguese in Dameng Kingdom and is very important.
"What happened in this Macau oasis?" Yi Yun asked with a calm face.
Li Huamei sighed: "The Dutch is here..."
"Um?"
"The one I was chatting with in the hall just now was the British who had nothing to do with either. They told me some bad news." Li Huamei said seriously: "You know, in the West, the most powerful countries are Spain and Portugal, but in recent years, several emerging maritime powers have emerged, one of which is called the Netherlands."
"Well, I know this, the coachman on the sea!" Yi Yun said casually.
"Huh? How did the prince know? This nickname, even I just heard from the Portuguese... This is the name given to the Dutch by Westerners." Li Huamei was surprised.
"Well, I dreamed of it, a small thing, don't worry about it, just talk about the serious things." Yi Yunhan said.
Li Huamei glanced at Yi Yun deeply, and then said seriously: "After the Dutch arrived at our cute country, they also wanted to find a place to settle ashore like the Portuguese. As a result, the Portuguese were afraid that the Dutch would steal their interests and not allow the Dutch to land. The two maritime powers fought each other... The British just talked to me about this, and their faces were full of gloating."
"Oh!" Yi Yun suddenly heard the problem: "Not good! This fight between them is not good for our country of cuteness... After they fight, they will definitely shake hands and make peace, and then focus on us together."
"That's right!" Li Huamei nodded and said, "The prince is indeed smart. If it were someone else, I heard that the other two countries would definitely applaud and sit in the mountains and watch the tigers. However, the prince only used it for a moment and thought that they might join forces..."
"Is this necessary to think about it?" Yi Yun shook his head: "Tell me quickly, what will happen to these two countries next?"
Li Huamei said in a deep voice: "The Portuguese finally made peace with the Dutch and invited the Dutch to the Macau Oasis, allowing them to see the prosperity and prosperity of the Macau Oasis, and piled up goods like mountains. The Dutch were so jealous that they screamed, so they promised to eat the big cake of the Da Mengguo together without damaging the interests of Portugal. After the Dutch left the Macau Oasis, they went to Penghu, where they built houses and castles, intending to learn from the Portuguese and build a stronghold."
"Damn it! It's too much! Go to our country's territory to build a castle?" Yi Yun jumped up: "Has the Dutch applied to the court of our big country for this matter?"
"No!" Li Huamei shook her head and said, "If you apply to the court, at most they can allow them to live temporarily and build houses, but it is absolutely impossible for them to build castles. Now the Dutch are building castles... This is a military building, how could the court agree?"
"Grandma, what a bear, are local officials eating shit? Send soldiers to get the Dutch done!" Yi Yun said unhappily: "Although our country is relatively backward in science and technology, there are thousands of people who can knock out a booster, killing the Dutch slag."
"Local officials... are not able to deal with the Dutch." Li Huamei shook her head with a heavy face and said, "Penghu is not as good as Macau, because Macau is still on the mainland in general. The army of the Dameng Kingdom can directly attack Macau, so the Portuguese dare not be arrogant, but Penghu is in the middle of the vast sea. The Dutch built a castle in Penghu, just because the army of the Dameng Kingdom is strong, but the navy is weak... I am bluntly speaking, the navy of the Dameng Kingdom is as weak as a chicken, and it is a big dish when brought to the Dutch."
"If local officials dare to send troops to Penghu, they will be sunk by all the Dutch people on the sea to feed the fish!"
After hearing this, Yi Yun's forehead ached slightly: "I understand. You came here to tell me this news, because you wanted to hint me that the government could not handle the Dutch, only I could handle it. Want me to take action against the Dutch in Penghu?"
"That's right!" Li Huamei said seriously: "Western people are ambitious and should not be underestimated, but the officials of the cute country do not pay attention to it. Among the people I know, only you have a long-term vision and can see your strength and ambition for Westerners. I think only you can take on the important task of driving away Westerners."
"I'm so dizzy! Admiral Li, you're too arrogant to me. What should I do to fight a naval battle with the Westerners!" Yi Yun khanned.
