"We have to guard even if we can't defend it! We have no Haojing, and we can't live without Goa!"

Castro yelled excitedly.

Pesoze said: "Actually, we shouldn't have rejected the Ming Dynasty's request to go to Goa for trade. We should have thought of this a long time ago. Even if Spain, the Netherlands and we believe in God, even if they have hatred with Ming Dynasty, they can even betray God in the face of interests!"

"Is it meaningful to say this now?"

Castro said with a wry smile.

"But it's no point to guard Goa now!"

Pesso also replied loudly.

Peso was already scared by the joint expedition fleet of the Ming Dynasty, Spain and the Netherlands.

"Ming can complete the trade to Europa without us Portuguese, because Ming can also cooperate with the Dutch and Spaniards! If we defend Goa, Ming can still ban our trade and choose to cooperate with the Netherlands and Spain without worrying about the interruption of trade with Europa! If we do not defend Goa, we will still be banned. No matter what the result is, we will lose trade from the East!"

Peso then replied.

Castro remained silent and refused to answer.

Looking at the Han slaves who were still working for him in the workshop, he suddenly felt a sense of hatred.

Castro asked himself that he did not expect that the Ming Empire would go to the Dutch and the Spanish, and he did not even expect that the Ming Congress clearly knew that it was not the only country that needed Eastern trade!

He also did not expect that the Spaniards and the Dutch would really join forces with the Ming Dynasty to deal with him.

Castro felt like he was taught a lesson.

He found that once his terrible Eastern Empire intervened in the maritime trade, his people were not opponents in terms of military strength or strategy.

He felt that he was now like an ignorant little brat who angered a scheming old fox, and his Portugal was only controlled.

Castro was actually more frightened than Pesso.

Therefore, he felt that these yellow people from the East were really hateful!

"No! Whether Goa can be defended or not, Ming Dynasty will be willing to trade with us. Have you ever seen any merchants who drive their customers out?"

But in the end, Castro became firm and gave his own decision, and said, "So, we cannot surrender directly and give up Goa."

When Peso heard Castro say this, he said "Yeah" and said, "Since that's the case, I suggest that we don't have to wait for the enemy ships to arrive in Goa before passing the passive battle. We should take the initiative when we find a suitable opportunity! There are too many enemy ships, and we only have twenty warships. We will definitely not be able to defend Goa. We can only wait for their warships to intercept the sailing ships from the Cape of Good Hope and to defeat them one by one when they land in Goa."

Castro nodded: "General Peso is worthy of being a famous general in Portugal. This is the best choice now. The Spanish and the Dutch are not one-hearted, and the Ming people are not one-hearted. Although I was surprised by their ability to unite, I believe they will never be united in charge for each other!"

...

"The plan can be attributed to everyone, but the order can only be given to one person. Therefore, next, you must obey all the orders of my official, otherwise, I will kill him directly!"

What Castro could think of, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and his ministers could naturally think of it too.

Zhu Youxiao also knew that he had joined forces with Spain and the Netherlands to send troops to Goa. Although it solved the problem of excessive military spending, it also had new disadvantages, that is, the joint fleets were prone to disagreements and each was planning their own.

To this end, Zhu Youxiao directly asked Croner and Abukui to obey all the orders of the commander Chen Xin he sent in this operation, and gave Chen Xin an edict in this regard.

Chen Xin, who has rich experience in naval battles, also knows that although he has many ships and many soldiers and has obvious advantages, there is also a big problem that his side is a joint fleet and his interests are inconsistent, so he cannot be careless.

"The Portuguese have been operating in Goa for a long time and have a geographical advantage. In addition, they will not give up their interests in Goa easily, otherwise they will completely lose the trade interests of our Ming Dynasty and then lose their interests in India. Therefore, they are very determined and we cannot take it lightly."

Chen Xin said to Croner and Abukui.

Croner and Abukui nodded.

...

Not long after, the Ming, Spain and the Dutch combined fleet sent the first fleet to the western waters of Goa to intercept the Portuguese sailing ships from the Cape of Good Hope.

Peso, a Portuguese general who is familiar with this coast, quickly discovered this situation.

"Are you sure that you will go to the western waters of Goa to intercept our fleet, including both Dutch and Spanish ships?"

Peso was asking the captain Delonme, who had been inquiring back.

Delonme replied: "Confirm! In their fleet, there are ships that hold the Dutch flag and Spanish flag."

"That's great! This is an opportunity!"

Peso was very excited because of this. As he said that, he hurriedly ordered all the warships on his side to leave the port and go to the western waters of Goa, and ordered: "After contacting the enemy ships, first deal with the Dutch warships and take the initiative to avoid the Spanish warships!"

Pesso believed that as long as he did so, Spanish warships would not support the Dutch warships.

But when Pesso arrived, he found that he was wrong, because the Spanish and Dutch warships were lined up, waiting for his ship to sail.

Peso was shocked when he saw this: "Oh my God! How could they gather together instead of teaming up on their own? Do they really don't care about each other's hatred, or are they deliberately blinding us? My God, I think I should be fooled! Withdraw! Withdraw back to Goa immediately! There is danger to Goa!"

...

"This is called leaping the snake out of the hole! I only sent his Spanish fleet to the western waters of Goa, but asked him to beat half of the Spanish and Dutch flags each to confuse the Portuguese in Goa City, Abuquer, you can now order your Dutch fleet to land. Remember to only occupy the shore defense position after landing, don't chase it! Don't rush to rob, otherwise you will suffer a great loss! Wait here first and ambush the Portuguese fleet back to Goa.

Chen Xin laughed after learning that all Peso's warships had left the port and issued the latest orders to Abukui.

Abukui said "yes" and immediately ordered his fleet to land.

Because Peso had already taken all the fleets out here, he simply withdrew all the artillery on the shore and concentrated at the inner city fortress, waiting to ambush the enemy troops after landing.

Therefore, the Dutch landed very smoothly.

But Abukui did not implement Chen Xin's order to only occupy the shore position, but ordered all the Dutch soldiers to disembark and land and go directly to the inner city of Goan.

After Chen Xin discovered this phenomenon through the telescope, he was particularly angry: "Bastard! Didn't the fuck listen to these red-haired fan fucking? Will the fuck fight? Immediately send out flags and ask them to stop attacking! Return to the shore and defend the shore position!"

"General, Hongmao Fan is already looting the nearby natives! Their combat literacy is indeed very backward."

Chen Zhaoyun said at this time.

Chen Xin was so angry that he punched the railing: "Damn it, no wonder they couldn't take the Haojing and didn't defend Taiwan! What's the difference between these red-haired fans and pirates? They have no combat skills!"
