In the eyes of many ministers, the regaining of Taiwan is not as great as that of Jingbei Province's expansion of territory, and they don't even know how big Taiwan is.

Hou Xuanyan established a prefecture in Taiwan, and some people suggested that they be classified as Fuzhou as a county. After all, people at this time had never seen the standard map.

But for the Dutch and Franchise, Hou Xuanyan occupied Taiwan, which made them so jealous that they scratched their heads.

Franchiser was a general term for Europeans by the Ming Dynasty. Because the *** merchants in Southeast Asia called Europeans this way, it was later passed down to the Ming Dynasty. Later, in order to distinguish them from the Red-haired Netherlands, the Spanish and Portuguese were called Franchiser.

The person who came today was actually a Portuguese envoy. They sent people to the Netherlands at the same time. The Fujian Navy was temporarily in the internal rectification stage and wanted to eliminate the legacy of the Zheng family and Shi Lang. He was really unwilling to send them to Beijing in two times. So he simply asked the Dutch who arrived first to wait for a few days, and the two waves sent them to Jinling together.

The personal soldiers led a delegation of dozens of people to the lobby of the outer palace. Hou Xuanyan stood next to him with a translator from the Siyi Pavilion, staring at these white-skinned people who went out to sea with a smile.

The Dutch Olite led the Dutch mission members to kneel down. In fact, at this time, the Ming Dynasty did not popular kneeling ceremony, and only domestic slaves often did this. Hou Xuanyan and the Portuguese were both startled, but Olite was proud and greeted him in Chinese with a strong accent.

Hou Xuanyan hurriedly said, "No need to do this, get up quickly."

The pragmatic Dutch never insists on his own face because of these, and Hou Xuanyan does not discriminate at all about this. This is a businessman attitude that he does not advocate but admires. It is not unreasonable that the Netherlands can rapidly develop from a small country to a maritime coachman on the hegemony of Europe.

Macau Governor Wahichi came in person, but did not choose to follow the Dutch, but simply performed ordinary etiquette.

Hou Xuanyan asked with a smile: "It's very hard for you to come from afar, but our Jingyou Emperor Ascension Ceremony was held two years ago. Why didn't you come to congratulate me at that time?"

Neither of the envoys on both sides expected that Hou Xuanyan would be so unpretentious. He came up and asked this: In their world view, continental China is the center of civilization, and they naturally regarded Hou Xuanyan as the more arrogant monarch of the Eastern barbarians.

Olite had a high Chinese level and stood up and replied, "Your Highness, your land was going on at that time. Although we wanted to come, it was too dangerous."

Hou Xuanyan asked casually: "Then why are you here now?"

Their conversation was very fast, and the Macau Governor of Portugal was still listening to the translator's previous answer, and sweat fell from his forehead.

"At the beginning of the year, we asked you to send troops to help us attack the common enemy of both sides. Now Zheng Yiguan is dead. Our Governor specially sent me to thank you for your help and regain Dongfan Island for us." After Olite finished speaking, he raised his head nervously and looked at Hou Xuan's expression.

With a bang, Hou Xuanyan smashed his hand on the table and scolded: "It's nonsense. Can you think I'm a three-year-old child? When did our Ming Dynasty's war to wipe out the rebellion become a revenge on Dongfan Island for you? To be honest, I have changed the island to Taiwan Prefecture and set up officials and naval troops to guard it. If you want it, you can do it. After you go back, we will reorganize the troops and let's fight against the sea."

When Olite finished hearing this, the prince was indeed different from the previous master of the Ming Dynasty. His greed for land was even higher than that of the Europeans. Since this was the case, Olite naturally did not dare to ask for Taiwan again, but said: "Since the Ming Dynasty was going to take back Dongfan Island, we are willing to return it to the Ming Dynasty, but hoped that we could continue to use Chiciancheng."

"I can't help you? This is what I called back from Zheng Zhilong. Let me tell you the truth. Don't try to provoke the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty. I will fight for the territory. If I make me angry, I will even take Amsterdam for you."

Hou Xuanyan seemed to be talking to the Dutch, but his eyes kept looking at the governor of Macau. The meaning of threat was self-evident. When the translation was finished to Vahiki, his face changed. Although Macau was small, it was of great importance to Portugal. This was a bridgehead that could trade with the Ming Dynasty and brought countless wealth every year. He originally wanted to get a share, but he did not expect that the new Ming lord was so arrogant. In fact, the Dutch felt even more uncomfortable because just a few years ago, Hou Xuanyan was still very polite to them. At that time, Hou Xuanyan needed Dutch skills, but the Dutch did not do anything for his Songjiang navy.

In the solemn palace hall, two people in the group were sitting on pins and needles, and the atmosphere here was very depressing, especially the moody tyrant above, which was always testing their patience.

Hou Xuanyan stood up and said, "The Malaga is a vassal of our Ming Dynasty. He has always been very respectful. He will not only pay tribute every year, but also a king enthroned by our Emperor Taizu Gao. The previous period was destroyed for no reason. This incident aroused public outrage in our Ming Dynasty, and the people in the market were extremely angry. Some ministers even made extreme remarks, saying that if they don't help the Malaga restore the country, he would go to the Forbidden City to burn it. These things made me unable to sleep or eat. You are here today. Why don't we discuss how to solve it?"

The Malacca is now Malacca. It was once a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and was quite loyal.

Later, the Ming Dynasty implemented a maritime ban policy, which allowed the Malacca to gradually get rid of the control of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty also lost this southern gate.

As long as we can regain this place, the vast South China Sea will completely become China's inland sea, and the distribution centers between the East and the West will also bring huge wealth.

Hou Xuanyan had to admit that this era was full of gold. If it weren't for the delay of the short-sighted savage dynasty like the Qing Dynasty, there would have been hundreds of years of poverty and weakness.

On the Malacca Islands, Johor supported by the Dutch established its dominant position among the small countries in Malacca. In general, it was a Malacca split into several small countries due to the Portuguese colonization. Later, the Dutch came and supported one of them to drive the Portuguese out and became a semi-colonial country.

When Olite heard this, his face changed suddenly. If they could bear losing Dongfan Island and wanted to get involved in Malacca, it would touch their core interests, the spice business.

There is a saying in Europe that the Dutch people look at their own spice business more closely than any jealous person.

"The court of Manla was chosen by their people. The Ming Dynasty could not rely on its own strength, but bully the weak." Ou Liye fought with reason.

Hou Xuanyan sneered: "It is a big deal to hear such righteous words from you people. I open the skylight and say things brightly. You are the darkest people in the world. Since the discovery of the HNA era in the Eastern continent, how many people have you killed? How much wealth have you plundered? Now I'm running to my territory to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality to me? Don't think that I don't know your disgusting behavior. Washing the blood on your hands can cover the smell of beasts on your body?

Let me tell you the truth, I want Taiwan, Macau, and Malacca. Even after returning, even if I unite, my navy will attack at any time to get back the status and glory we should have in the East. If you are not convinced, come and fight!"

Hou Xuanyan was full of confidence. The navy went to Europe to compete for hegemony with them, but what else could he fear at his doorstep with such a huge empire?

All the people in the missions of the two countries were shocked by Hou Xuan's arrogant and domineering behavior. In the center of the magnificent hall, the oriental man standing on a high place to look down at them, had a madness that was comparable to anyone. Both missions clenched their fists and wanted to rush up and beat him up.

Olit and Wahki looked at each other and formed an alliance was imperative. They could not tolerate the entire eastern seas becoming the inner sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you. They did not expect that their actions fell into Hou Xuanyan's eyes.

"How about it, Macau and Malacca, will you return it?"

Wahiki finally spoke and said, "Dear Prince, your request is too much for us to accept. We will obey you, go back and prepare the warship, and fight against your great navy on the ocean."

When the translation of the Four Elements Hall was explained to Hou Xuanyan, Hou Xuanyan laughed without anger: "Go back? Since you are about to start a war, we will be enemies from now on. I, Hou Xuanyan, have been in a military life and have never released any enemy from their territory. Come on, tie these emblems and take them to prison to execute them secretly."

The foreigners who could understand Chinese were shocked and angry. This was different from the Han people they knew. It was not the usual style of the Ming Dynasty. As the governor of Macau, Wahiki naturally knew that this country with good face was the most important thing to pay attention to majesty and etiquette. So as the governor, he dared to come in person. The Ming Dynasty in the past gave them too many illusions.

There were a few brave men who were confiscated when their weapons came, and they were like rushing to the high platform to hijack Hou Xuanyan. The personal soldiers in the hall were all crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. I had never seen any scenes in the Northern Expedition in four years, so I drew my sword and slashed it.

For a moment, the hall started to wail and curse. Hou Xuanyan frowned and watched his personal soldiers kill all the envoys of the two countries. He said dissatisfiedly: "This is my hall. It's full of blood now. Get some flowers and grass coming and going."

There were nearly a hundred people in the two countries, and most of them died in the hall, but Hou Xuanyan didn't feel cruel at all.

Each of these people was covered with countless blood. In Manraka, Luzon, and Macau, countless Han people were slaughtered by them. The least worthy of pity and sympathy in this era were the white-skinned people. Wherever they went, there must be endless killing and plunder, and the purpose was very single, just for wealth. To say that they were humans, they were all praised, and even the same vicious Qing Dynasty could not compete with them.

After killing Franji and the Dutch, Hou Xuanyan immediately ordered his personal soldiers to pass on orders to the Fujian Navy and Songjiang Navy. While their officials did not return and were definitely not prepared, they were ready to attack Manraga and Macau.

Why do you want to lose the lives of your own navy men in vain for the so-called etiquette? Hou Xuanyan thinks they are not worthy because they are a group of beasts.

I have never seen a pig slaughter. I put the pig on it before killing it and played with him naked.

At the end of October, most of the land in the Ming Dynasty was already very cold, but South Ocean was still warm.

At the docks of Songjiang and Fuzhou, there were constant troops at night, and the flow was endless. Arms, supplies, troop transport ships, and warships were all dispatched. The inside and outside of the dock were brightly lit, and they were alerted by officers and soldiers ten miles away, and no one was allowed to approach.

The sky just showed white fish belly, the sea breeze was cool, and when you looked around, there were countless warships, big and small, and they were sailing towards Manraka.

The Fujian Navy took the initiative and marched at night to attack Manraga. Behind the navy were countless requisitioned merchant ships, who used military ships to transport Zhejiang troops to the sea. This was undoubtedly the most powerful soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army Camp at that time. As long as they were close to the land, there would be no land they could not conquer. The Ming merchants now completely obeyed Hou Xuanyan's orders, because every war would bring them endless wealth and a broad road.

Opening the gates of Nanyang is something that the Ming merchants dream of, and this is the real golden road.

The Ming Navy won by number, first surrounded the port. A large fleet could not launch a decisive battle in the Mansaka Strait. This narrow and long strait was not a good battlefield. The first purpose of the navy was to force the enemy to death in the port so that its troop transport ship could land.

The tactic is very simple, it is endless artillery fire suppression. This move is simple, crude and very practical.

The Dutch who had just woken up did not expect to encounter an attack of this scale here. Their mission was still "visiting" in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the sailors were sleeping with thin local beauties. Most of the warships they parked in the port were blown up. Hou Xuanyan had the best dock, and after contracting them to merchants, he was extremely efficient. So he was not very interested in the enemy's warships, and the navy never considered these things in combat, and sank the enemy ships first.

Eight thousand Japanese soldiers took the lead and rushed to the land of Manraga. From this moment on, the killings once again came to this archipelago.
