"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!
We are without Haojing, we can't live without Goa anymore!
”Castro roared excitedly.Pesso said: "Actually, we should not have refused the Ming country's request to come to Goa to trade, we should have thought of this earlier, even if Spain and the Netherlands believe in God with us, even if they also have hatred with the Ming country, but in the face of interests, they can even sell God!"
”"Does it still make sense to say that?"
Castro smiled wryly."
But now there is no point in defending Goa!"
Pesso also replied loudly.The Ming Dynasty, Spain, and the Netherlands jointly formed a fleet of hundreds of warships, and Pesso was already afraid."
Ming can complete the trade to Europa without us Portuguese, because Ming can also cooperate with the Dutch and the Spaniards!
If we hold Goa, the Kingdom of Taming can still block our trade and choose to cooperate with the Netherlands and Spain without worrying about the interruption of trade with Europa!
If we don't hold Goa, we will still be banned, and no matter what the outcome, we will lose the trade of the East!
”Pesso then replied.Castro was silent.Looking at the Hannu who was still working in the workshop for himself as a Portuguese, he suddenly felt a sense of hatred.Castro asked himself if he really didn't expect that the Ming Empire would go to the Dutch and the Spaniards, and he didn't even expect that the Ming Dynasty clearly knew that it was not only Portugal that needed trade in the East!
He also did not expect that the Spaniards and Dutch would really join forces with the Ming Kingdom against him.Castro felt like he had been taught a lesson.He found that once his terrible Eastern Empire intervened in the sea trade, his own people were no match for each other in terms of military strength or strategy.He felt like a little kid who didn't know the height of the sky and angered a scheming old fox, and his Portugal had nothing to do.Castro was actually more scared than Pesso.Because of this, he felt that these yellow people from the East were really hateful!"
Nope!
Whether Goa can hold it or not, the Ming Kingdom will be willing to trade with us, have you ever seen a merchant who drives his customers out?
”But in the end, Castro stood firm, gave his own decision, and said: "Therefore, we cannot surrender directly and give Goa away." ”When Pesso heard Castro say this, he said "um", and said: "In this case, I propose that we do not wait for the enemy ships to arrive in Goa and then passively meet them, we should take the initiative to attack when we find a suitable opportunity!"
There were so many enemy ships that we had only twenty ships to defend Goa, so we could only wait for their ships to separate and intercept our galleons from the Cape of Good Hope and the ships to land in Goa. ”Castro nodded: "General Pesso is worthy of my famous Portuguese general, this is the best choice at the moment, the Spaniards and the Dutch are not of the same mind, and the Ming people are not of the same mind, although they can unite, I am surprised, but I believe that they will never be united with each other, charging for each other!"
”......
"The plot can be attributed to everyone, but the order can only come from one person, so then, you must obey all the orders of the official, otherwise, the official will kill him directly!"
”What Castro could think of, the Ming Emperor and his ministers could naturally think of.Zhu Youxiao also knew that he had joined hands with Spain and the Netherlands to send troops to Goa, and although it had solved the problem of excessive military expenditure, it also had a new drawback, that is, the combined fleet was prone to a situation in which they did not belong to each other and went their own way.For this reason, Zhu Youxiao directly demanded that Clone and Abukui obey all the orders of the commander Chen Xin he sent in this operation, and gave Chen Xin instructions in this regard.Chen Xin, who already has a lot of experience in naval warfare, also knows that although there are many ships and troops on his side, and the advantage is obvious, there is also a big problem that his side is a combined fleet, and his interests are inconsistent, so he cannot be careless."
The Portuguese have been operating in Goa for a long time and occupy a geographical advantage, in addition, they will not easily give up their interests in Goa, otherwise they will completely lose the trade interests of our Ming Dynasty, and then lose the interests in India, so they are very united, and we cannot take it lightly."
Chen Xin said to Clone and Abukui.Clone and Abouqua nodded.…… Not long after, the combined fleet of the Ming, Spain, and the Netherlands sent the first fleet to the western waters of Goa to intercept the Portuguese galleons coming from the Cape of Good Hope.The Portuguese general, Pesso, who was familiar with the coast of this area, quickly found out about the situation."
Are you sure that there are both Dutch and Spanish ships in the fleet that will intercept us in the waters west of Goa?"
Pesso was now asking Captain Delongmay, who had returned from the inquiry.Delongme replied: "Sure!
In their fleet, there were both Dutch-flagged and Spanish-flagged ships. ”"It's wonderful!
Here's your chance!
”Pesso was so excited that as he spoke, he hurriedly ordered all the warships on his side to leave the port and go to the waters west of Goa, and ordered: "After making contact with the enemy ships, deal with the Dutch ships first, and take the initiative to avoid the Spanish ships!"
”Pesso believed that if he did so, the Spanish ships would not come to the aid of the Dutch.But when Pesso arrived, he found that he was wrong, for the Spanish and Dutch ships were lined up and waiting for his ship to come.Pesso was shocked when he saw this: "Oh my God!
How could they come together instead of going their separate ways, do they really care about each other's hatred, or are they deliberately trying to deceive us?
My God, I think I should have been fooled!
Remove!
Withdraw to Goa immediately!
Goa is in danger!
”......
"This is called luring the snake out of the hole!"
The official only sent his Spanish fleet to the western waters of Goa, but asked him to fly half of the Spanish and Dutch flags, just to confuse the Portuguese in Goa City, Abuqua, you can now order your Dutch fleet to land, remember that after landing, only occupy the shore defense position, do not pursue!
Don't rush to loot, or you'll suffer a big loss!
Wait here first and ambush the Portuguese fleet back to Goa.Chen Xin laughed when he learned that all of Pesso's warships had left the port, and gave Abukui the latest instructions.With an "um" sound, Aboukui immediately ordered his fleet to land.And Castro here, because Pesso had already gone out with all the fleet, so he simply withdrew all the artillery on the shore and concentrated on the inner city battery, waiting for the ambush of the enemy after the landing.As a result, the landing of the Dutch was particularly smooth.However, instead of carrying out Chen Xin's order to occupy only the shore positions, Abuqua ordered all the Dutch soldiers to disembark and land and go directly to the inner city of Goa.After Chen Xin discovered this phenomenon through the telescope, he was particularly angry: "Bastard!
Lao Tzu's words, didn't these red-haired fans listen to the fuck, will the fuck fight in the end!
Immediately send the flag and let them stop attacking!
Return to the shore and hold the shore position!
”"General, the red-haired fan is already looting the nearby natives!
Their fighting qualities are indeed very backward. ”Shen Zhaoyun said on the side at this time.Chen Xin was so angry that he smashed his fist on the railing: "Damn, no wonder they can't take the mirror themselves, and they don't hold Taiwan!"
What is the difference between these red-haired fans and Haikou, they have no combat quality!
