According to the thoughts of the current Zhungeer Khan, Zewang Arabutan, he does not want the Qing court to have a conflict. This is because the center of gravity of the West Zhungeer Empire under his control lies in the north and south foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and Andijan and Kokand further west. , Bukhara, Samarkand and other vast Central Asian grasslands. As for Gansu under the Qing court and the Khalkha Mongolian region attached to the Qing court, although it is known as the birthplace of the Mongols, since my uncle Gar, who is more ambitious than the sky, Danbo Shuoktuhan wants to be in his hands, so just leave it to him.

However, Cewang Allah Butan's mind of staying out of the battle of Qingzhun has been shaken by changes in the current situation. In his opinion, the Qing court after losing the wealth of China (Jiangnan) has become like a toothless tiger. The appearance is scary, but the strength is no longer enough to drive away the wolves. If you don't get a share at this time, you will definitely not be able to restrain Galdan Boshuo Ketu Khan who has re-achieved the career of Xue Chan Khan (Kublai Khan) in the future.

Of course, Cewang Arabutan still has another choice, which is to accept the offerings of the Qing court and join hands with him to deal with his uncle.However, although the envoys from the Qing court came to traffic in an endless stream, compared with the envoys sent by the Potala Palace, they were not on the side of the Qing court regardless of the time, place, and people. The concerted action of the Jungar people, even the Heshuote tribe based in Qinghai, also participated, can be called a big alliance of the Oirat Mongolian tribes.

Since it is a major alliance, it is natural to have a leader.Needless to say, Zashbatu Khan of Qinghai, although the Heshuote Department has always had the blood of the Golden Family, but it is not as powerful as others. The King Khan, who was once a puppet of the Zhungeer people, is naturally not qualified to aspire to this position.Kegardan Boshuoktu Khan is not only his uncle in terms of blood, but also the East Dzungar Khan of the same rank. Therefore, the fifth Dalai Lama and Diba Sangye Gyatso could not be present in person. Under such circumstances, how should the seats be arranged between the two people who have a lot of feuds?

Fortunately, Cewang Allah Butan is an absolutely excellent politician, and he knows how to take care of the faces of both parties, so he only sent his nephew Da Ce Lingdun Dobu to participate in the alliance in Qinghai, so the result of the alliance will not be good Make a decision based on Alabtan’s speculation---Galdan’s troops are the main force and only attack directly on Khalkha Mongolia and Monan Mongolia, and the West Jungar and Heshuote people together go to Anxi, Suzhou and other Hexi Corridor area and adjacent Alashan Erut Banners developed.

According to the agreement at the time of the alliance, the three parties will move eastward at the end of the year and in the spring of the following year respectively. However, Zashbatu Khan, who is determined to restore the glory of Heshuote, cannot restrain his ambition. He mobilized [-] cavalry to sweep towards Taohe before the West Junger people who came from the east, and even before Galdan.

"What an idiot." After receiving the news, Cewang Allah Butan commented on the ambitious and talented Zashbatu Khan, and at the same time gave orders to the aggrieved Da Celing Dunduobu. "Don't worry about this guy who is eager to return to Changshengtian. I will give you 6000 people to sharpen their knives. After the winter is over, you will take them all the way east to graze."

"Close the door." Colonel Gilvazlobofreire, the governor of Macau, squeezed out from the crowd of excited judges, and then fled into the governor's mansion in a panic, in order to prevent these mob-like congressmen from rushing into the governor's mansion , He had to order the guards to block the door. "My God, what a day."

"Your Excellency Governor, it's time to make a decision." Major Magalis, the defense commander, didn't seem to see the embarrassment of the Governor, but urged him in a serious tone. "If you continue to resist, I think not only the congressmen and citizens will riot, but even the army will lose control."

"Major, when did the kingdom's soldiers become as shameless as the Germanic mercenaries?"

Major Magalis shrugged his shoulders indifferently to Colonel Feiera's accusation: "Your Excellency, now we live in a city where daily drinking water cannot be guaranteed. Can't you expect the army to continue to obey your command?"

Being hit by the major, a look of pain appeared on Fei Erla's face, which was reddened by the tropical sun: "No, I can't agree, this involves the final interests of the Kingdom of Portugal in the east, and also involves the interests of the Kingdom's army." Glory."

"No, you can only agree." Magalis replied with a cold expression. "After all, the council has agreed to return the governance power to the Chinese. In order not to hinder the right of Portuguese businessmen to continue doing business in China, you must order the withdrawal of the troops in Macau and the transfer of military facilities, otherwise"

The major did not continue, but Fei Erla understood the subtext of the other party, and he roared in embarrassment: "Otherwise, I am the governor of the Kingdom of Portugal stationed in Macau, and I am the colonel of the Kingdom's army. My power comes from Your Majesty King Pedro II and Indo-Portuguese Viceroy of Goa, you cannot”

"Your Excellency Governor is wrong. Your power comes from the council." An abrupt voice rang out. Fei Erla turned his head and saw that the closed gate of the Governor's Mansion was reopened, and several big businessmen and priests walked slowly. came in. "Your Excellency, according to the agreement when the council first appointed the two governors of Carlo (ha), the governor of Macau is only responsible for the defense of Macau, and has no right to reject the bills passed by the council. Goa has long recognized this. "

"The meeting, is there still a meeting now?" Fei Yila retorted. "Haven't you already disbanded yourself?"

"One day without the handover of Macau, the council will continue to exist for one day." Another commentator who was born as a big businessman interjected. "Your Excellency, please recognize the reality. Even if the navy has the strength to break through Dongning's sea blockade and bring back reinforcements from Goa, Portugal does not have the strength to fight the Zheng family in the China Sea. Yes, even if the entire Indian Ocean With all the warships and armed merchant ships in the South China Sea, we have no way to win on land, right? Otherwise, why would we have to pay land rent of 500 taels of silver every year and bribes to local government agencies in China in multiples. "

"Yes, Governor, please recognize the reality. The Portuguese came to China for porcelain, tea and silk, not for personal bragging rights." No.3 commentator also expressed his position. "Although the administrative power and the right to garrison Macao have been returned, the Dongning regime still guarantees the right of Portuguese merchants to live and do business legally. What more can we ask for."

"King Dongning, who was canonized as the Regent of the entire Ming Kingdom because he successfully entered Jiangning City, is said to have planned to expel the priests in Macau, but was blocked by his ministers. If Macau is not handed over at this time, it may not be the regent. The king will not change his mind.” After the businessmen took turns, the Catholic Church in Macau also came forward to put pressure. "At that time, the entire Chinese diocese will fall under the control of Manila. Presumably this is not what Lisbon and Rome would like to see."

Although these words were heard by Fei Yila in the meeting, the weight of what he said was very different from the mouth of this big man. For this reason, Fei Yila said with difficulty: "For the sake of the kingdom, I don't want to become a Macau city. The last governor-general, so, so I resign and ask the council to choose another magi."

The people present couldn't help being stunned. If there is no governor, how will the problem of the garrison be solved?At this time, several people present at the same time looked at Major Magaliz, the defense commander, but although the major also participated in the forced palace, he didn't want to be the one who ended Portugal's glory, so he also shook his head and declined.

"Since Your Excellency the Governor has announced his resignation, there is no one in the Royal Army who can take over the position of Your Excellency the Governor." The present council leaders immediately whispered to each other, and then made a decision. "Then for the time being, there will be a council to replace the governor in power and be responsible for Macau's defense. What's your opinion on the military?"

As the commander of 220 Portuguese Army soldiers, [-] local militiamen and two [-]-gun notification ships, Major Magaliz certainly has no opinion on this. Speaking of which, he is most afraid of direct conflict with Zheng Jun One of them, because he knows that once the fight officially starts, even if he can resist for a while with the strong Macau Fort, the final result will be a complete defeat, and as a loser, he doesn't know what kind of situation will be waiting for him.

"Since the army has no objections, then send envoys to the Ming people immediately." The Portuguese people in Macau who have been without food and water due to the blockade that lasted for a month and a half have long been unable to bear it. The task will be terminated as soon as possible. "By the way, please restore the supply as soon as possible."

The councilors and priests turned and left the governor's mansion. At this time, the former governor who had lost power stopped Majialishi who turned around and said, "Major, I am not a governor, but a soldier of the kingdom. I beg you, be sure not to completely hand over Macau to those Ming people."

"God, save this poor man," Magales prayed, and then looked at Feila with a headache. "Colonel, what do you want to do? Don't you know that the people of the Ming Dynasty clearly stated that they want to completely take over the forts and military ports of Macau, and even establish a military garrison in Macau in the future, and send thousands of troops to guard it. In this case Do you think I will destroy the building at your request? No, it's impossible, I can't anger the Ming people and punish the Portuguese in Macau. So, Colonel, you must be too hot and hallucinating, It is better to find a place to rest, I believe that when our envoy arrives, there will soon be clean water from water trucks to relieve your thirst and troubles."

"Bastard, traitor, come back to Azhen, I will definitely accuse you of treason in a military court."

"As you like." Magales decided to ignore the somewhat crazy former governor. "By the way, there is still some rum in the wine cellar. Before the water is delivered, you can use it to quench your thirst. You must know that a governor who died of thirst in the governor's mansion would be an astonishing scandal even if he returned to China."

"Damn"
