Chapter 1876: question

Dagama caught a fisherman familiar with the local sea route in the coastal area and let him lead the way. He took his flagship "Prince Enrique" and went to Taiwan Island. Stand by.

Because of the invasion of the Portuguese fleet, most of the people on Meizhou Island withdrew to the inland to take refuge, but only a small number remained. The Portuguese fleet uses the harbor on Meizhou Island to temporarily stop. However, because the Ming court ordered the control of wood and carpenters, it was difficult for the Portuguese to repair the ship. The newly harvested lumber cannot be used to repair ships.

Coincidentally, Meizhou Island was the first place to contact when Confucius was smuggled. Therefore, Dagama found Lin Afu, a fisherman who knew the Taiwan island route, on the island. Lin Afu followed the local big moneyman Li million to **** a group of smuggled cattle to the freshwater estuary of Taiwan Island, so he knew the route. In fact, when the former government retreat to evacuate the island population, Lin Afu also wanted to follow the retreat. However, at the time, he was caught in the wind and could not get out of bed, so he stayed and was caught by the Portuguese as a lead party.

Under the guidance of Lin Afu, the "Prince Enrique" successfully arrived at Tamsui in the Danshui estuary in northwestern Taiwan. At this time, Tamsui has become the largest trading port on Taiwan Island. Because the Tainan Plain and other places in the southwest of Taiwan Island have not yet been developed, the most developed on Taiwan Island at this time should be the Taipei Basin that Marin led by the army.

Today, because of the great development of the Taipei Basin, Kong Tai moved the Governor ’s Mansion into the basin. In the later Taipei area, Guihua City was built as the capital of Dongpan Island.

In fact, Guihua City should have been the name of the Ming Dynasty in Hohhot. It was a city built when the Three Niangzi belonged to Daming, and was given the name of "Guihua City" by the Ming Dynasty. However, that was a matter of Wanli years, and there is no shadow yet. Domestication means to "be subdued and be enlightened by it". In later generations, outstanding athletes are often naturalized by countries lacking such athletes.

In later generations, naturalization is just a matter of opinion. However, in this era, the significance of naturalization is very important, representing the dynasty's "subversive power". Therefore, when Kong Tai applied for the naming of this new city as "Naturalized City", Zhengde Longyan was more excited than Kong Tai presented the Napoleonic cannon. Because, there are foreigners willing to naturalize, proving that he was a very successful emperor. Then, the Ming Dynasty relaxed many restrictions on Kong Tai ’s recruitment of craftsmen and refugees in Daming.

Then, Kong Tai took the opportunity to recruit a lot of craftsmen and disaster victims. Right now, about 240 square kilometers of the Taipei Basin, 80,000 acres of land have been reclaimed and become the source of food for the governorate district of Dongpan Island.

The naturalized city is still very small, only 1 square kilometer, and only about 25 kilometers away from Tamsui at the mouth of the Tamsui River. When Dagama's "Prince Enrique" arrived in Tamsui City, the owner of Vanguard, who was responsible for guarding Tamsui City, immediately ordered an artillery warning. At the same time, he sent a quick horse to whip and went to the naturalized city 25 km away to report to Kong Tai .

At this time, there was the Tamsui City, which was not the original small fortress with a length and width of only 50 meters. At this time, Tamsui City, because of the role of the trading port, has built more than a dozen long bridge terminals for berthing. At the same time, with Tamsui as the center, a small town with a length of 500 meters was built. Because of its status as a trading port, it has become more prosperous than Guihua City.

Strictly speaking, Tamsui City is currently a trading port, while Guihua City is the governor's residence. Although the naturalized city is larger, the economic vitality is far less active than that of Tamsui City.

To ensure the safety of Tamsui Port, Marin ordered the original Tamsui Fort to be converted into an artillery fort equipped with 20 artillery. Many windows on the second floor were equipped with an 18-pound red cannon.

Normally, these windows are tightly closed, but once an enemy ship approaches, these windows will open and fire outwards.

No, after Dagama's "Prince Enrique" approached Tamsui Port, Vanderbeck immediately ordered to open a window and fired a shot towards the sea as a warning.

However, Dagama's eyes narrowed on the ship:

"The artillery is hidden in the window ... No wonder Ming Parliament has this kind of artillery fortress, it was originally from the Beihai State Church!"

Thinking of this, Dagama's anger rose up "spout":

"Asshole! This group of guys, who taught the Ming Kingdom to make artillery fortresses and caused great losses to my great Portuguese kingdom, must give a statement!"

Finally, Dagama ordered to put down the dinghy and took the dinghy directly to Tamsui Port ...

Under the guard of Tamsui Port, Dagama landed angrily, and saw the owner of Tamsui City, Vanderbeck. Upon meeting, Dagama revealed his identity:

"I am the commander of the Portuguese Eastern Fleet, Dagama, and I want to see your governor, Conte!"

Vanderbeck was shocked. He was not a traditional noble child. Latin was learned later and he was not very skilled. After trying to understand what Dhaka expressed, Van der Baker saluted:

"Please wait a moment, I will send someone to quickly notify Master Kong Tai!"

The name of Dagama still knew that he was the first person in Portugal to discover the Indian route. On the Portuguese side, it has always insisted that Dhakama was the first person to discover India, and he did not want to admit that it was the India discovered by the Marinist Columbus. Therefore, Dagama's reputation is also great.

I heard that Dhaka came to visit in person, and Kong Tai did not dare to neglect. He quickly rushed from Guihua City to meet Dhama.

As soon as he met, Dagama asked:

"Governor Kong Tai, did you teach them to build the artillery fortress in the Pearl River Estuary of the Ming Dynasty? Do you know how much trouble this behavior caused to the Kingdom of Portugal? At the Pearl River Estuary, two ships in my fleet were fired by each other. The artillery was injured and I am now forced to return to Malacca for repairs. Now, there are three more ships that have been injured on my side. It is your fault. Why should I teach them to make artillery and build artillery fortresses? I need a reasonable explanation! "

Kong Tai, after listening to the question of Dhama, he asked without hesitation:

"I would like to ask Master Dagama, in the treaty signed between the North Sea State and Portugal, is there a provision that the North Sea State cannot sell artillery to the Ming State?"

Dagama was stunned. After thinking about it, he said helplessly:

"Maybe not……"

Kong Tai spread his hand and said:

"That's not enough? Our treaty with your country does not stipulate that it is forbidden to sell artillery to Ming. We sell artillery to them. There is no problem at all! I tell you, the artisans of Ming are really powerful. I just sent them dozens of cannons, and they could actually copy the 12-pound bronze cannons based on the samples they sent ... "This sentence of Kong Tai ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is equivalent to pushing the responsibility It's clean-I didn't teach them how to cast a gun, they copied it ...

"What happened to the artillery fortress at the mouth of the Pearl River? Don't tell me they figured it out!" Dagama rolled his eyes and retorted.

Kong Tai patted his head and said:

"Are you talking about this problem? Indeed, we have artisans to help them repair artillery fortresses. However, that was not what I sent. It was a private bribe and invitation from Ming officials. The Ming officials paid hundreds of gold coins in private. , The craftsman ran to help them repair the artillery fortress ... Now, I have strictly punished the unruly 'artisan'! "The so-called" strict handling "is actually to report criticism and then deduct a few months' salary . However, for the craftsmen who received a lot of rewards from the Ming court, the salary deduction is really nothing ...

"Severe punishment! Must be severely punished!" Dagama said angrily.

But Kong Tai pretended to be embarrassed, whispered:

"But, what name do I use to punish those craftsmen? You know, Beihai State pays attention to" rule the country according to law ". If you want to severely punish others, they must break the law first. But in my memory, they have not violated any law, nor Has not violated any terms of agreement signed between the North Sea State and the Kingdom of Portugal ... "

Dhagama was so angry that he couldn't speak ...
