Win the Ding 1617

() Under the sun, a Siamese cat stretched its waist as far as possible beside the path in the courtyard, and stretched for a long time. The comfort of the sun made every inch of its body fully nourished. According to she, a burst of warm feeling made it yawn proudly.all in

A burst of cheerful chatter and laughter came from behind the door, and it turned its fluffy ears intelligently. The fluff inside the triangular ears made it easier for it to capture more information.

With the sound of speaking, Er Ya rushed out from the back house behind the Moon Gate, followed by several accompanying maids and nai mothers, hurriedly holding all kinds of portable applications , from time to time to remind this young lady to pay attention to her feet and not to bump into them.

Seeing that it was the lady, the Siamese cat immediately put its back on its back and twisted its waist. After a few jumps, it jumped onto the flower wall, followed the flower wall to the roof, and lay on the roof looking at the Jing with proud eyes after escaping danger. A little girl with too much energy.

Erya is now a child of three or four years old, the age at which she is curious about everything, sufficient nutrition makes her energetic, and her round face is always full of joyful smiles.

The little girl took a few quick steps, chasing a bird through the courtyard, and was about to pass through a moon gate and enter the front courtyard.Seeing her actions, the women who followed her hurriedly chased after her in fright, muttering, "Miss! Miss! That's where the adults handle official business, don't dare to make trouble!"

late!Although Er Ya's calf didn't take big steps, she ran very fast, and in a few steps, she passed through the door opening and entered the courtyard where Shou Han's signing room and office were located.

The soldiers on duty at the gate of Shou Han's signing room naturally knew this cute little girl, and they would play with this little girl with an apple face in their spare time on weekdays.Seeing that it was her who came, naturally she would not stop her.

Hearing Dad talking in the room, Erya immediately followed the sound.

In the room, the conversation between Shou Han and the commander of the training fleet, the Portuguese Gonzalez, had come to an end, and they were about to get up to leave, when there was a loud noise, Erya opened the door and rushed in, "Daddy! Daddy! "

Seeing the arrival of the lord's baby girl, Gonzalez hastily straightened his clothes and stood up. Whether it is the east or the west, seeing the lord's first child, this etiquette is still essential.

"Through the general election!"

He bowed and saluted according to his customary etiquette.

"Gonzalez, you are welcome. Your friends, José and Bolivar, escorted raw silk, silk and porcelain back to Lisbon. They will not return for a while. However, Alfonso also began to spread his message in Hue. Good news, you might as well discuss it with him later.”

"Father, I'm going to my aunt to see my younger brother and younger sister, but my aunt won't let me disturb my aunt, I want to see my younger brother and younger sister!" Erya doesn't care about the affairs of adults, she just uses her little hands Pulling the hem of Shou Han's robe, he looked at Shou Han eagerly with a pair of small eyes.Sisters Meishan and Shilin gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters for Shouhan, and this pair of younger brother and younger sister are now Erya's new favorites.

"Okay! Let's go to see our younger brothers and sisters!"

He lifted Erya up and put it on his neck, "Go!"

Looking at the backs of the father and daughter leaving excitedly, Gonzalez couldn't help shaking his head. Is this person the same person as the person who talked about the shocking event with him just now? !

Over the years, Alfonso has become bloated.

The business cooperation with Jose and others brought him a large amount of dividends. In various schools in Nanzhong, he was responsible for teaching surveying and mapping and Latin, which also increased his income from class fees. They will also make use of correspondence with churches in Macau to pass on some commercial information and earn some information fees.Of course, this was all done within the tolerance of the spies in the business affairs room and the investigation room.

A lot of gold coins, coupled with rich food, made it difficult for Father Alfonso to kneel on the kneeling stool when praying to God. The robes made of beautiful silk have been changed in a few years Three or four times the size, still can't keep up with the speed of waistline change.

When he saw Gonzales, who still maintained the figure and mental state of a naval officer, he made a gesture to hug the partner, "Okay, Father, I'm afraid you didn't hug me, yours The stomach has sent me back to Lisbon!" Gonzalez smiled wryly and knelt on the kneeling stool and began to pray to his Father in heaven.

"Captain, when did you return to Hue from Hoi An?"

Father Alfonso, who was also kneeling on the kneeling stool, asked his fellow countrymen about their visit while praying.

"The governor summoned me today. I am no longer a captain. He has promoted me to the rank of colonel according to our custom."

"The governor received you? And promoted your rank?!" Alfonso keenly felt that there must be something strange in it!

Gonzales sighed.

After receiving the notice from the Military and Political Department under the Battalion Affairs Office, Gonzalez was very suspicious. In the past few years, there have been opportunities to meet Li Shouhan, but it was either the joint meeting or banquet of the naval and army officers. , or a business banquet held by a Han Yuan company, on these occasions, as a naval officer and a businessman, Gonzalez will have the opportunity to clink glasses with the Shou Han among dozens or hundreds of people .However, there are almost no chances of being interviewed alone.

According to the notification time, he came in front of Shou Han.

At this time, Li Shouhan was smearing several places on the map with a pen dipped in cinnabar, and he didn't know what his intention was.

"I have seen my lord."

While saluting, Gonzalez made a quick search in his mind for the last time to see if there were any violations of regulations and disciplines in the recent behavior, whether the business with Jose and others was illegal or tax evasion, Or, those actions of intercepting merchant ships at sea were secretly reported by the guys from the Law Enforcement Department?But those things were written in the nautical diary, and the confiscated ones were also handed over according to the relevant laws and regulations, and they just kept what they deserved!

"Captain, how many people are under your command now, and how many ships and guns are there?"

Hearing Shou Han asking him these things, Gonzalez fell to the ground with a stone, and it turned out that he was just talking about business!He immediately reported a series of numbers, "Now there are 240 sailors. Among them, there are 47 Portuguese, 90 Luzonese, and [-] Chinese. There is a plywood ship and two newly-made two-masted gunboats. , a Fuzhou ship, the number of guns is arranged according to the standard of the navy. Because it is a training fleet, the people on it are all responsible for the duties of the boatswain and gunner, and the rest of the sailors and gunners are all assigned by the navy. School students are in charge."

"Okay, Captain, in view of your contribution to the navy, I have decided to promote you to the rank of colonel!"

In a blink of an eye, his military rank has been promoted several levels in a row. Although it was awarded by the commander in the east, it can be shown off after returning to his hometown. The gentlemen of the navy admit it.

Regarding the military rank, I am not talking nonsense here. If you are interested, you can read the description in "The Count of Monte Cristo" about Fernandez betraying his Greek employer.

When Colonel Gonzalez hadn't woken up from the sudden happiness, a new message threw him in front of Hades, the king of the underworld.

"If I order you and your compatriots to attack the Portuguese in the Malacca area, and attack the Portuguese and Spanish strongholds from Malacca to Goa, will you be willing?"

As a mercenary, he was born and died for his employer. Naturally, he had nothing to say, but let the group of Gonzales attack their own motherland, especially the current Kingdom of Portugal is subordinate to the Spanish Empire, which is known as the lord of the earth!

He said it when he thought of it, but the guard scoffed at his words!

"What I want you to attack is not the free Portugal, but the Portugal that was enslaved and exploited by the Spaniards. You and your compatriots are not traitors, but heroes who liberated their motherland!"

At this time, Portugal is no longer the big country that used to look down on the Quartet. After being annexed by Spain and the emperor of the Spanish Empire concurrently serving as the king of the Kingdom of Portugal, there has been an undercurrent in the country, intending to restore Portugal's status as a big country. This is temporarily called Portugal. The Zionist movement, unfortunately, Gonzalez and his partners, although they were not firm Zionists, also levied violent taxes on the Spaniards in Portugal, but used the various taxes collected for Spain's military spending expressed serious dissatisfaction.

"I will appoint you as the commander of the Portuguese restoration, and provide you with loans. You can use these funds to purchase weapons and commodities in my jurisdiction for the sacred and great cause of the national liberation of Portugal! Would you like to Accept the appointment, my colonel?"

Shou Han's voice was so soft and seductive to Gonzalez's ears, "Lord! Back then in your Garden of Eden, the damn snake tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, did you use such an accent? !” Gonzalez struggled helplessly in his heart.

"Even if you are as powerful and rich as you, your strength is still weak in the face of the Spanish Empire, which owns almost the entire earth." Struggling, Gonzalez said this sentence, and he didn't know it. , Is it used to justify oneself or to bargain.

"That's right! Right now, Spain seems to own almost the entire earth, especially what you call the New World. His hegemony is unquestionable. However, in Europe, he and his ally, the Holy Roman Empire, are facing almost An attack across Europe. These countries will be our natural allies!"

French Prime Minister Richelieu proposed that Britain, the Netherlands, and Denmark form an anti-Habsburg alliance. Denmark was responsible for sending troops, while Britain and the Netherlands supported behind the scenes. The uprising against the oppression of the Holy Roman Empire evolved into a wide-ranging international war.

The war in Europe is raging, and Gonzalez is naturally aware of such an important matter.However, what he doesn't know is that, as a huge manufacturer, Shouhan has already begun to make profits from this war that will last for decades and directly affect the future maps of Europe and the distribution of ethnic groups in the world. A large number of weapons The armor, gunpowder and quilts were continuously transported from the workshops and warehouses to the plywood ships of the Dutch.

as warring parties.In the first year of the apocalypse, the Netherlands went to war with Spain. After the Danish phase began in the fifth year of the apocalypse, Britain, France and the Netherlands fought with the Holy Roman Empire and the Spanish Empire with great joy.Soon, Denmark, a fairy-tale country far away in Northern Europe, also came to intervene, and the flames of this war began to burn from southern Europe to northern Europe.

"Colonel, why don't we make a bet. I bet your military actions will never attract the attention and interference of the Spanish Empire. Because, they are about to face the threat from the north, when they use countless blood and young lives After repelling the war from the north, they will also be exhausted and unable to conquer you in the east."

Shou Han began to play the role of astrologer and magic stick.

The danger he mentioned from Northern Europe naturally refers to Sweden, the famous Gu Erye, Gustav II.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Sweden's Gu Er also participated with full enthusiasm in this war that almost drained Europe of blood.However, in the seventh year of Chongzhen, he was defeated by the coalition forces of the two empires.

The strength of the Swedish army has long been heard by Gonzales. The powerful phalanx, with two-thirds of the musketeers, has been secretly spread among various European armies.Therefore, when Shou Han said that he was about to face the threat from the north, Gonzalez naturally thought of the Swedish master.

"Your Excellency, you mean that Sweden may join the war?"

"I didn't say it, it told me." Shou Han took a wooden box from the bookshelf, opened it carefully, and took out the books inside.

"The Book of Changes, the number of plum blossoms. It is a great book of prophecy. Anyone can calculate the future direction based on the hints in it. I calculated based on this. The decline of the Spanish Empire will come from this war. Accelerated!"

"This war is bound to turn into a melee in the whole of Europe. France, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden will all suffer heavy losses in this war. After that, because Germany will be the main force in this war. The battlefield was the most severely damaged, and the various electors dominated one side, so that the Holy Roman Empire survived in name only. And Spain will end in defeat in the war, no matter whether it is a land battle or a sea battle. The prestige and strength of the ball owner. The Gallic Rooster will replace Spain in this war, and will also obtain huge land. Sweden, in addition to obtaining a large area of ​​​​Germany, will also receive a large amount of compensation. Further become a powerful country on the European continent."

"And you, Colonel, will become the hero to save your motherland in this unstoppable historical turmoil. If it is possible, maybe you and your descendants will live in the royal palace of Lisbon. !"

Shou Han's words were full of uncertainty, but they were full of temptation.

"Do you believe in the revelations brought to you by these mysterious oriental prophecies?" Seeing that a devout believer of the Lord is about to become the servant of the eastern devil, Father Alfonso was a little out of breath. He kept sprinkling the holy water on the altar Gonzalez's forehead.

"There! Father!"

"Aren't we going to this far east to find wealth and avoid the plunder and oppression of those damn Spain?! Today, an opportunity for our beautiful Portugal to get rid of the rule of those dirty Spaniards is here Before us, for Portugal, I am willing to cooperate with the devil!"

"Lord! Please forgive this poor sinner!" Kneeling on the kneeling stool, Father Alfonso clasped his fists with his forehead, and silently recited scriptures with his forehead down.

"Colonel, do you need a chaplain for your Portuguese restoration?"

When the entire Nanzhong area is planning how to spend a joyous and peaceful New Year, a group of Portuguese headed by Gonzalez began to plan intensively for the restoration of the country.

The practice fleet sailed south from the Hoi An anchorage and moved to Cam Ranh Bay further south. The original flag and emblem on the ship were removed and replaced by the flag of the old Portuguese Empire.One by one the cannon were taken from the ship and replaced with new ones, freshly cast from the gunyards.Barrels of gunpowder were transported to the ship for the gunners to use for training, and the entire fleet's anchorage was rumbling every day.

Father Alfonso got up and went to Haojingao, where he lobbied the Portuguese doing business in Macau to join the fight for "Portugal of the Portuguese" under the banner of the Restoration.At the very least, all possible help should be provided for the recovery, from military supplies, military pay, and intelligence, all of which are urgently needed by the recovery.

Zhang Cheng, who was far away in Luzon, under the instruction of Shou Han, recruited more than 700 Luzon people in Luzon as the basic team for the restoration of Portugal.However, the Spanish Governor's Palace in Luzon, which is close at hand, seems to be blocked by something, turning a blind eye to the recruitment notice posted on the street.

And Gonzales, under the supervision of Shou Han, was officially sworn in as the commander of the Portuguese Restoration Army, commanding this armed force with more than a thousand troops and four or five large and small ships.

Of course, Li Shouhan would not let Gonzalez hit a boulder with a quail egg like this. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the restoration of Portugal, he used his personal income as a guarantee to support the restoration of Portugal from the Nanzhongguan Bank. **Applied for a loan amount of up to 1000 million silver dollars.

This money will be used to purchase all the military supplies needed for the rehabilitation and to distribute military salaries.

In return, Colonel Gonzalez, the commander of the Restoration Army, solemnly signed the contract, and the Portuguese Restoration Army will capture the Managa Fortress as a token of gratitude to Governor Li himself for his righteous support.At the same time, after the capture of Goa, the Portuguese stronghold in the east was used as a base for the restoration.After taking Goa, give Ceylon to the South Central Army as a reward, as a thank you to the friendly troops who fought side by side.Regarding this point, the senior officials of the South China Army stated that they would naturally appreciate the kindness of the friendly brothers. However, in view of the actual difficulties in rehabilitating the army, the South China Army is willing to use [-] silver dollars or equivalent materials to buy Ceylon .

In order to persevere in the great cause of the restoration of the country, the restoration government plans to purchase cotton, wheat and other crops from the landowners all over India after the capture of Goa. , that is, the expenses for the restoration.

This loan will be repaid with the colonies of the Portuguese Empire in America after the successful restoration of the Portuguese Empire. < section.
