"You really think beautifully! You really dare to threaten me from the Ming Dynasty! Since that's the case, there's no need to talk about it. Goa has to change his master."

After Fang Yuegong finished speaking, he left with his sleeves.

After hearing this, Castro's breathing became rapid. He knew that the Ming Dynasty was powerful and not something he could afford. However, as a member of the Portuguese nobles, he was unwilling to give in to the benefits of trade. He shouted loudly: "If your country wants to occupy Goa, then we would rather cut off the trade in the east than surrender to your country!"

What Castro could rely on was that the Ming Dynasty needed the European market.

He hoped that the Ming Empire would understand that compared with the huge interests of the European market, it was not worthwhile to cut off the European market in order to compete for trade rights and even to fight for Goa.

Fang Yuegong stopped because of this and turned around and said, "I forgot to tell you that there is no Portuguese in Haojing. They are now serving in the state-owned farm or state-owned mines of my Ming Dynasty, including the Portuguese merchants who went from your Goa. There is no way. You really don't understand the rules and don't know how to respect my country!"

"You guys! You're doing this is a great offense to us!"

Peso, the commander of the Sino-Japanese Trade Fleet in Portugal, drew his sword directly, as if he was going to kill Yue Gong, the official official who worked in the Maritime Bureau.

Castro grabbed him: "General Peso, we cannot do this now, we cannot completely incite such a prosperous empire!"

Peso took back his sword.

"We must defend Goa at the moment, and we cannot allow Ming to occupy it. We will also use this to make Ming give up the idea of ​​capturing our colony by force, and because we need to trade with us, we have to give up the trade from Goa to Haojing! We must send someone to inform the king as soon as possible and request reinforcements from Goa."

Castro said with a frown.

Pesso nodded: "Now we Portugal are ruled by Spain, and we can also ask Spain for support!"

"You are right! Damn Ming people, we need to teach them a lesson!"

Castro said.

...

"The official Yue Gong reported to the Haojing Shipin Shipin who went to Goa. Now the Portuguese-Indian Governor Castro of Goa refuses to trade with us, and what they rely on is that I, the Ming Dynasty, need trade more than them."

Fang Congzhe reported to Zhu Youxiao.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said, "It seems that you still have to use force. The same is true for these Western fans. You really don't cry until you see the coffin."

"But if force is used, what should we do if these Western fans really don't want to trade with us?"

Wei Guangwei asked at this time.

"The Western countries are not subordinate to each other. He, Portugal is unwilling to trade with us. He is willing to trade with us. He ordered Fang Yuegong to go to Batavia and declare my will, and said that I intend to establish a trade partnership with him, the Netherlands and negotiate trade between the two countries. I believe that the Dutch should be willing to conquer Goa for me, the Ming Dynasty, and squeeze out the trade space between Portugal in Lisbon and Goa. The alliance is the wisdom left by the ancient Chinese people. His Western style does not have this wisdom, which does not mean we don't have it! Tell Fang Yuegong that the role of the scholar is to achieve the goal that can be achieved without war."

Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty is wise! However, I am worried that the Dutch in Batavia will be as tough as the Portuguese in Goa, and will even unite with the Portuguese and no longer trade with our Ming Dynasty."

Yuan Keli started talking at this time.

For many civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, there were not many opportunities to deal with Western affair, so their understanding of Western affair was limited.

Now Yuan Keli said this, and regarded the Dutch, Portuguese, and these Western styles as the way of thinking of these people in his own country.

He was worried that the Dutch would also unite with the Portuguese and interrupted the Ming trade by banning trade with the Ming Dynasty.

If it were Yuan Keli in the past, he would not be afraid that the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Western Federation would be interrupted.

But now it is different. Since the rise of official trade and the initiation of tariffs, as a central official of the court, he has also seen with his own eyes the huge benefits that foreign trade has brought to the court and his family.

Therefore, Yuan Keli is naturally worried about the interruption of trade between the Western Federation and the Ming Dynasty.

"This is not the case. The Dutch and the Portuguese are incompatible. Their relationship is not as good as their relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Although they believe in God, I have dealt with them. As far as I know, they often go against each other and plunder each other. Although they are foreign merchants, they are pirates with each other. They should not unite to deal with our Ming court."

Xu Guangqi, who was familiar with the Western Age, replied.

"The Dutch are not fools. They cut off trade with my Ming Dynasty with Portugal. It is not worth the loss. It is better to deal with Portugal with my Ming Dynasty. My Ming Dynasty needs his trade in Europe, but he needs it even more! They are not my Ming Dynasty. Without trade, they can only stay poor! My Ming Dynasty has no foreign trade and can dump internally. At worst, lower the price of cotton cloth and other things, so that the people can buy more and the court can earn less."

Zhu Youxiao said.

"But if they really want to ban trade with our Ming Dynasty, will it be better to fight with force? It is meaningless for our Ming Dynasty to occupy those overseas foreign lands, but it will consume national wealth."

Bi Ziyan said at this time.

"Then they really banned trade with us. The original navigation power to the West was in the hands of our Ming Dynasty, but now it is subject to Western culture. It is really unpleasant! If our Ming Dynasty still can connect to the West, why do we need Western culture to trade directly and form a long-distance fleet to trade in Europe."

Zhu Youxiao said something angrily.

The ministers were not good at saying anything. They did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would need Zheng He's navigation chart so much. If they had known it, they should have paid attention to the navigation. But they had to admit that it would be useless even if they paid attention, because after the Xuande Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had no attention in all dynasties, and it was only during the Longqing period that the sea ban began to be lifted.

...

"Your country's businessmen violated our Ming Dynasty's orders and should be slaves. Released cannot be released. However, this does not mean that you cannot cooperate with our Heavenly Kingdom."

Fang Yuegong did come to Batavia, and here he met Abukui, the governor of Eurasia in the Netherlands.

Abukui was initially angry at the loss of his territory in Taiwan and the fact that his Dutch was captured by the Ming Dynasty as slaves. But now, seeing that Fang Yuegong was still calm and analyzed the pros and cons, and emphasized that he could still cooperate with the Celestial Empire, he still regained some rationality and said: "But our trade relationship with your country is not big, and you do not need any trade cooperation."

"I know! Your country's trade targets in this area are mainly Japan and Ryukyu, but these two places are now controlled by our Celestial Empire. If I am willing, I can immediately prohibit these two countries from entering the country."

Fang Yuegong said and turned around and left: "I will only give you three days to consider, so don't delay our trip to Manila."

"Manila?"

Although Spain had annexed Portugal more than thirty years ago, it did not completely rule Portugal, but only sent troops and ministers of state in Portugal. Portugal still had its own ruling system and independently engaged in overseas trade with Spain.

Spain's current trading center in Asia is in Manila.

Fang Yuegong mentioned Manila, so he naturally wanted to let Abukui know that if he did not agree, the Ming Dynasty would give Spain the right to trade to Japan, Ryukyu and other parts of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Netherlands would no longer have such trade opportunities.

Abukui was not a fool either. He immediately understood and hurriedly said, "Wait! We can agree to cooperate, but there must be a condition, that is, we hope that your country will only allow us to participate in your country's trade!"
