The next day, Zhao Lie inspected the refugee camp in Shidao and had a good discussion with Wu Qun.
Today's refugee camp is empty again, and all the Denglai refugees have been transported to Beihua.
Now Wu Qun has ushered in the time to rest again.
He and hundreds of servants in the refugee camp were idle now, and Wu Qun couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Master Zhao, since the refugees have all left, it would be better for me to work under Master Zhao Meng as an errand than to have nothing to do here."
Wu Qun complained that it was a bit difficult to watch the sea every day.
"There is nothing to do.
I am afraid that you will be too busy to sleep."
Zhao Lie shook his head.
Haha, refugees from the Ming Dynasty are everywhere.
In the future, Wu Qun will be busy, and having nothing to do is temporary.
Yes, it is estimated that Wu Qun will be busy for ten or twenty years.
Of course, there is no need to say more now, as there is no need to scare this old subordinate.
After Wu Qun heard this, he started to murmur in his heart again.
After he complained last time, Lord Zhao Lie said something similar.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of Denglai refugees came.
Could there be another big mess somewhere?
It can be even more than the refugees who came from all over during the Denglai rebellion, but you can say that Mr.
Zhao is not accurate.
This Mr.
Zhao is simply a crow's mouth.
As long as he said it, there must be something.
Tsk, Wu Qun is also speechless about the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor and the princes of the court tried their best to govern the Ming Dynasty like this.
They are really diligent to a certain level, and they are getting busier and more chaotic.
Zhao Lie left the refugee camp and went to the Shidao Fleet to have a look.
Now that the Japanese Navy has left, the Jeju Navy no longer needs to maintain too much transport capacity.
Now Li Hu is in charge of Jeju, and Qi Wei has returned to Shidao and brought ten Song-class warships, twenty Tang-class warships, and twenty patrol ships.
From then on, the Shidao fleet will be the same as the Jeju fleet. strength.
After all, future operations in the Ming Dynasty sea area will require the full cooperation of the navy, and the boundary of Jeju is still far away from Denglai.
Of course, in order not to attract attention, most of the navy stayed on Dashanzi Island, which became a veritable military port.
Zhao Lie inspected the battleships here.
He also expressed condolences to the navy soldiers.
After all, the place is small and cannot be compared with Jeju.
The navy soldiers had just arrived.
He must be extremely uncomfortable, and he needs to be comforted.
When Zhao Lie was discussing with Qi Wei how many merchant ships Shidao should be equipped with to transport 20,000 Polu troops to a distant place at one time, Shidao sent someone to make a clipper ship to report that people from Macau were coming.
It was Macau Speaker Alonzo and his uncle Francisco who came.
Macau Speaker Alonzo and Zhao Lie have known each other for many years and have cooperated happily.
This time the Japanese route has been re-opened.
I guess they don't know about it yet, so they just want to tell them.
I am afraid that my uncle Francisco came here to visit relatives.
He has only come once since the child was born.
He is usually busy escorting the route from Macau to Manila.
These two people came together, especially Speaker Alonzo.

Zhao Lie guessed that there must be another big event coming.
Therefore, Zhao Lie immediately returned to Shidao.
When Zhao Lie arrived at Shidao Port, he saw two Portuguese warships and merchant ships docked at the pier.
There were some bullet marks on both ships, and it was obvious that the voyage from Macau had not been smooth.
Zhao Lie observed the dock.
Except for a few Portuguese who were talking with the soldiers of the Polu Army, the other Portuguese stayed on the boat.
More than a hundred guards first boarded the pier to guard.
When Zhao Lie boarded the pier, the 100 guards on duty stepped forward to salute.
"Have all the Portuguese warships been inspected?"
Zhao Lie pointed to the location of the Portuguese ships.
"Reporting to your lord, both ships have been boarded and inspected, and no problems were found."
President Bai stood at attention and replied with a military salute.
Zhao Lie nodded.
Expressing satisfaction, how he attacked Macau was to capture the thief and capture the king.
He did not want to be attacked by the Portuguese and Spanish.
Even if the visitors are the Portuguese Speaker of Macau and his uncle, human nature is too complicated.
If the Xiyi people have some kind of deal in the south, it is not impossible to betray Shidao secretly.
Entering the official hall, Zhao Meng and Tang Xianwen were chatting with Alonzo and Francisco.
They were all smiling.
It seems the atmosphere is good.
"Oh, my general, congratulations on defeating the demonic Japanese and regaining the trade routes for Macau."
As soon as Alonzo saw Zhao Lie, he immediately stood up and saluted with a smile on his chest.
This respectful attitude is completely different from when we met in the past.
There is a reason for Alonzo's behavior.
Zhao Lie now occupies Beihua and Jeju, and Denglai's power in the Ming Dynasty is also huge.
A small nobleman back then grew up to be the king of one party.
How could he not be respected by Alonzo.
Yes, in Alonzo's view, the territory that Zhao Lie now controls is much larger than Portugal.
If Portugal has a king, why not Zhao Lie.
In particular, even the Japanese, a barbaric, unreasonable and disrespectful nation to God, were defeated by the young man in front of him and were forced to open the harbor to the Portuguese and Ming people.
This made Alonzo extremely convinced.
The Japanese are not easy opponents to deal with, and the Portuguese, who has been operating in Japan for a hundred years, knows this very well.
Of course, Zhao Meng just told him that Zhao Lie had defeated the Japanese and forced the Japanese general to open up trade routes.
He didn't say much more.
After all, he was not from my race and his heart must be different.
If Alonzo knew that Zhao Lie killed tens of thousands of Japanese in three battles and surrounded Edo for several months, he would not be surprised.
Zhao Lie smiled and greeted Alonzo.
Of course, he just bowed his hand.
Zhao Lie took a look at Alonzo.
Although Alonzo was now in his fifties, his black hair was still very neatly combed and his face was extremely rosy.
Compared with the last time they met, there were only wrinkles on his face.
There are more, but not much has changed in other aspects.
"Oh, Zhao, it's not easy for me to do this once.
You didn't bully my sister, right?
If you did, I would still fight you."

Francisco smiled and hugged Zhao Lie.
Zhao Meng and Tang Xianwen's faces twitched.
They really couldn't accept the hug between men.
They didn't know that Zhao Lie really had a guilty conscience, because he married Li Lin as his concubine, didn't he?
To be honest, this was nothing in this era.
However, Zhao Lie came from later generations, so there was still a little shadow in his heart.
Zhao Lie asked the two of them to sit down, and he took the main seat behind the case.
"Mr.
Alonzo came from Macau.
It was a peaceful journey."
Zhao Lie asked knowingly.
When he mentioned this, the wrinkles on Alonzo's face immediately deepened, and he shook his head.
His expression was extremely painful, "Oh, God, these pagans have now established a foothold in Formosa.
Not only have they built several castles, they also collect taxes from the Han people and indigenous people there.
The most important thing is that their fleet uses it as a base, and every day Patrolling the Strait of Formosa, our Portuguese ships cannot pass there without escort.”
Speaking of which.
Alonzo's face was flushed and extremely excited.
"Although thanks to the general's credit, the sea route from Macau to the Japanese country has been opened this time, I am afraid that the two or three escorting warships will not be safe in the future.
Now the Dutch in Formosa have more than ten warships.
If this time Not that our two sea-going ships are both new and faster, and they can’t pass Formosa.”
Alonzo held up his chest in fear, his heart palpitating at first.
Zhao Lie looked at Francisco.
Francisco also nodded solemnly.
It seemed that the Speaker did not deceive Zhao Lie himself.
If the Dutch in Xiaoliuqiu gathered more than ten warships, they would indeed cause great trouble to the route from Macau to Japan.
However, Zhao Lie, a Dutchman from Xiaoliuqiu, planned to leave it to the final solution.
After all, Ming's affairs now involved almost all of his energy, and he really didn't want to open a second battlefield.
Just when he was thinking about how to shirk Alonzo, Alonzo's following words changed his mind.
"This time, I set off from Macau and ventured through Formosa to pay a visit to the general.
I have some bad news to tell you."
Alonzo spoke in a slightly exaggerated tone, which must be half true and half false.
After all, traveling through Formosa is dangerous.
His purpose in saying this is obvious, Zhao Lie, you have to accept my favor.
"A fleet sent by King Charles of England traveled thousands of miles to Goa.
The purpose of sending them was to open up trade routes in the Far East.
Especially the trade routes of the Ming Dynasty.
On the way, they learned that the Ming Dynasty was not open to trade. , only trading with the Portuguese in Macau, so they began to lobby the Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch in the colonies along the way to organize a fleet, intending to use cannons to open the door to the Ming Dynasty. " Alonzo spoke very fast, and the interpreter he brought was not slow either.
He said all these words at once.
Zhao Lie opened his eyes wide in surprise.
He had never heard of this in later generations.
What is this?
This is the failure of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Zhao Lie looked at Francisco again, and the Portuguese, who always had a smile on his face, gave a rare serious nod.
"They have successfully lobbied the Portuguese in Goa and Ceylon.
Seven ships have joined their fleet.

Now they are resting in Malacca.
Next, they plan to lobby the Dutch in Jakarta and the Spanish in Manila. ” After Alonzo finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Lie seriously.
"I don't know how the Speaker knows so much."
Zhao Lie asked puzzledly.
Zhao Lie was really doubtful about this.
Believe it or not, he had never heard of it in history.
He really had no impression of it at all.
Normally, such a big event would not have gone unrecorded.
If you don’t believe it, look at Alonzo and Francisco.
They really don’t look like they were tricking him.
In fact, Zhao Lie really didn't know that there really was such a fleet in history.
King Charles I of England appointed Wedell to lead a fleet of six ships and sailed to the Ming Dynasty after more than a year.
This fleet entered the Indian Ocean via the Cape of Good Hope, and successively reached Goa, Ceylon, Malacca, and Macau.
It invaded Guangzhou and harassed the people near Guangzhou.
It also pretended to be a bandit and extorted money and food from the local government of Guangzhou.
In fact, the fundamental purpose was I want to bombard the Ming Dynasty's trade routes with cannons.
Unfortunately, they could not imagine the vastness and hugeness of the Ming Dynasty, and they could not change the stubbornness of the Ming Dynasty officials.
Although they were at loggerheads with the Guangzhou Navy and did not suffer any loss with the strength of their ships and artillery, the trade routes of the Ming Dynasty were not Open.
In the end, they turned to the Portuguese, which was even more impossible.
The Portuguese were the only Westerners allowed to trade with the Ming Dynasty at that time.
How could they hand over their monopoly trade routes to others, so Wedel left in disappointment. s: Thanks for the support of precious monthly tickets for Not Found Yet, Thanks for the 100 reward from Young Master of Three Rings, Immortal Love Fire, Jinghong 2016, Thanks for Kuaiji Mountain Ren 007, Not Found Yet, Wu Jilai, Invincible Emperor, Iron-Blooded Tank Vehicle , I’m a little busy this summer, The God of Chicken Leg Fort, The Fragrant Grass Tree at the End of the World, The Fool of Sand , Nightfall, Peace on the Mosque, Chang Zhao, Sunshine Broken in the Palm, Wind, Frost and Cold Dew, Dongxi 512, Zun Dadi, Lord of Tianhu Island, Zhu Jiuye, October Slender Horse, Ma Liang and the Mermaid, Yan Changgong , Jian Chen Canxiang, the eldest young master of the Li family, and the gods of the universe for their rewards.
