Daming Military Empire

Chapter 305 King's Landing Goa
Zhu Cijiong came to Ceylon mainly for two things, one is to condolences to the soldiers of the Second Corps of the Ming Expeditionary Army, and the other is to see the growth of rubber saplings with his own eyes. On the journey, the next stop is the core city of the allied Portugal in the Far East: Goa.

Goa is a city with a long history. Its history can even be traced back to the famous Mauryan Dynasty in the third century BC. Of course, Goa has a long colonial history. As early as 1498 AD, the famous Portuguese navigator, explorer, Colonial pioneer Vasco da Gama visited Goa, and Goa became a Portuguese colony in 1510 AD.

This colonization can be roughly divided into two types, one is predatory colonization, and the other is economic colonization. Predatory colonization is plainly robbing, robbing money, resources, minerals, and even people, while economic colonization is relatively To put it mildly, the colonists sometimes shared a little profit with the local aborigines in order to earn more money.

Most of the early colonies were predatory colonies, such as Spain and Portugal plundering South American gold and silver, Portugal plundering African gold and gemstones, etc., were all predatory colonies, but Goa was lucky because Portugal There is an urgent need for a colonial stronghold to monopolize the spice trade from India to Europe. Goa is fortunate to be the first city to be economically colonized, and Portugal has gradually built Goa into the core city of the Far East, so Goa is different from the surrounding indigenous people. Countries and regions were already quite developed at that time, and their degree of development was no less than that of the big cities in Europe at the same time!

On this day, groups of Portuguese soldiers and Ming soldiers suddenly appeared on the streets of the bustling Goa. Their goals were the same, and they were all Goa Port. Soon the bustling Goa Port was blocked, and all civilians were arrested. Please go outside the port politely, but neither the Portuguese army nor the Ming army drove them away, and even marked out a large open space not far from the port for civilians to stop, and there are many Portuguese soldiers around that open space , Every commoner in the past will send a bouquet of flowers, seemingly free of money.

Experienced old Goan people know that this is a big man coming to Goa, otherwise it would be impossible to have so many Portuguese and Ming soldiers lining up at the port, and it would be impossible to send them flowers. Moreover, Judging by the nervous look of Portuguese Governor Conde, this big man must have a great background, and he is probably a member of the royal family on the European side!

Some Goan civilians who love to watch the excitement gathered in the area marked by the Portuguese army, holding flowers and staring intently at the port, preparing to show off the demeanor of this European royal family member.

Not long after, a sailing battleship appeared on the sea outside the Goa port. This battleship approached the port at a speed that ordinary people could not understand. Governor Kong Dede who is waiting at the port.

This is indeed a big man, and many people in Goa know him. He is Shivela, the Portuguese governor in Macau, but it seems that this Shivela seems to be on the same level as Conde. He used to bring Condede with him every time he came to Goa. Some entourages are waiting at the port, and they have never put on such a big show. Could it be that this Shivela has been promoted?
Of course Shivira was not promoted, and he was not the target of Kong Dede's welcome. What Kong Dede was going to meet was His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire!
Not only the civilians around watching the excitement felt strange, but Kong Dede also felt strange, why did this guy come here alone, where is His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire?

It's not surprising that Shivira didn't care about Kong Dedeqi. He stepped forward and grabbed Kong Dede's arm, and said anxiously: "Kon Dede, let your guards exit the port quickly, don't stand here and get in the way."

Kong Dede was shocked and said: "What are you talking about? I am welcoming His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire. What does it look like without a guard of honor?"

Shivira cast a glance at his guards, and said disdainfully: "You are also called a guard of honor? Look at the First Legion of the Ming Empire Expeditionary Army, which has more guards of honor than you."

Kong Dede cast a glance at the soldiers of the First Legion of the Ming Empire Expeditionary Army who were neatly lined up not far away, and said with a guilty conscience: "They are the first-class Legion of the Ming Empire. The mercenaries under me must be Can't compare."

Shi Weila said impatiently: "It's right if you know that you can't compare, hurry up and tell your people to back off, and you don't stand in the middle, there are many guards of honor for His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire!"

Kong Dede looked around and asked puzzledly: "How many guards of honor can there be? This station is enough for 2 or [-] people. Why do you let my people back?"

Shivira grabbed Conded's arm, dragged him back, and persuaded him as he retreated: "Believe me, old friend, I don't have time to joke with you, hurry up, let your people back five miles!" "

Back five miles?Could it be that the total number of guards and entourages of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire is more than [-]!Although he didn't believe it at all, he still ordered his guards to retreat five miles, because Shivela almost broke his arm, and if he didn't let his guards retreat, his arm would be gone!
Actually, Kong Dede's guess was quite right. If Zhu Cijiong put up a score casually, there are more than [-] people. He knows that Shivela and Kong Dede are very good friends, but friends are friends, so this score still needs to be put up. In the embarrassment of being in Luzon last time, Zhu Cijiong specially asked Shi Weila to take a battleship first, drive at full power, and rush over to inform Kong Dede to give him the place.

At this time, the Goan civilians who were watching the excitement in the distance were more puzzled than Condede. Then a warship came, a person got off, and then the warship drove away, and then the soldiers of the Portuguese army began to retreat. Could it be that Is this the end? Then what are these flowers used for? Could it be that the governor is giving everyone benefits for free?

Just when everyone was puzzled, a row of dense black shadows suddenly appeared on the sea, so many boats!
When those shadows gradually approached, both the civilians in Goa and the officials under Kong Dede were dumbfounded. There are so many warships!

When the fleet got closer, someone couldn't help exclaiming, oh, what's that huge black shadow in the middle? Could it be a battleship? How could there be such a huge battleship!

When the fleet approached the port, everyone finally saw clearly that it was a battleship, really a battleship, a huge battleship, and two smaller ones behind it, but they were much larger than ordinary battleships. Looking at the flags on the battleships, Sun Moon Dragon Banner!Oh, the one who bought the cake turned out to be the royal family of the Ming Empire. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire came to Goa in person!

They really guessed right, and they took over countless soldiers from the First Army of the Imperial Guards to go ashore to complete the team, then the legendary Daming Jinyiwei, then the legendary eunuch, and the legendary beautiful palace maid of the Ming Dynasty.
