“Huh?”

Involuntarily, he spoke out in surprise. Ruo Ao IV could not help but open his eyes wide and looked carefully at the port.

I saw dense ships docked on the pier. Although they were far away, you could tell at a glance that the style of these ships was definitely not European sailing warships.

"How is that possible?"

Ruo Ao couldn't help but rub his eyes and then looked closely.

The ship type was very impressive to him.

He had never seen it before, but the last time Johnson came back, he brought back five ships. It was a pity that he was forcibly taken away by the Spanish.

But this time, a ship like this almost filled the port!

How is this possible?

Subconsciously, Joao IV stared at the most critical parts of this kind of ship.

Sure enough, he still saw it.

I saw that all the ships at the port had a cylinder.

Just as I saw it, I recognized that this is a man...

Bah bah bah bah bah!

no!

Joao IV was extremely excited. He could confirm that it was a steam paddle ship of the Ming Empire in the Far East. The sign was really too obvious!

Now, the Spaniards snatched all the steam paddle ships from before. Now there are so many more here, even more than Spain, hahaha...

After laughing for a while, the laughter of Ruo's fourth generation suddenly came to an abrupt end, as if someone had been choked and couldn't laugh out loud.

"No, this is the navy of the Ming Empire. Are you here to deal with your own?" Ruo Ao IV thought so, and his face pale.

After all, the new guns and cannons and steam paddle-wheel warships were the military and national weapons of the Far East Ming Empire. Johnson emphasized this point and emphasized that Portugal became a vassal state of the Ming Empire, so he had the luck to buy these military and national weapons.

The result was good. Without the consent of the Ming Empire, Portugal transferred the military and national weapons to Spain. Although he would give money, this thing was quite a bit of a slight slightest.

What's more, Spain is no longer paying...

When he thought of this, the fourth generation of Joao's sweat came down.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a surprise voice from behind me: "Father, I'm back!"

When I heard this, I was both strange and familiar!

A figure immediately flashed through Joao IV's mind, that was his eldest son Theodosio.

So, Ruo Ao IV immediately turned around and looked at him carefully when he heard the sound.

Then, he was stunned!

I saw a few people standing in front of him.

Johnson, he knew him. However, he did not know the young man surrounded by Johnson and others!

Didn’t someone just call me “Father”? It sounds like Theodosio! Where is someone else?

"Father, the child is back!"

When he heard the voice, it was clear that it was the young man who was talking. Joao IV could not help but be a little stunned!

It sounds like Theodosio, but the man in front of him had black hair, and he didn't say anything about it, so why did he use it to insert it into his hair? He suddenly saw that he was an oriental scholar, right?

Thinking of this, suddenly, Ruo Ao IV was confused again and couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

It seems that I haven't seen each other for five years. This young man looks like Theodosio, who must have grown taller and grown up!

However, I have never heard of the hair changing color when a person grows up!

When Johnson saw Joao IV's expression, he knew where the problem was. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and then he said, "Your Highness, this is indeed your eldest son, Duke Braganza, and Prince of Brazil!"

"..." When Joao IV heard this, he was a little stunned. Is this his eldest son?

"Father!" When Theodosio saw it, he stretched out his hands and showed off the Ming Confucian uniform he was wearing. After turning around, he continued, "Is it handsome?"

"..." After hearing this, Joao IV continued to be stunned and debuffed...

"Father, you are so ignorant!" Theodosio said a little disappointed when he saw him like this, "You can't recognize your child's outfit? You are in Confucian uniforms. You are a student of the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty, with serious fame and fortune..."

When Joao IV finally came to his senses when he heard Theodosio talk. He wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know where to start!

However, he still remembered so many Ming steam paddle ships in the port, so he quickly interrupted his son's long speech and asked with great concern: "What's the Ming steam paddle ships in the port? Could it be that the Ming Navy came with you and wanted to provoke a military force..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't continue.

Because Theodosio's cheerful look was not such a possibility!

It's impossible. Theodosio not only dressed completely in Ming Dynasty, but also in his heart. He doesn't mind at all that the Ming Navy came to provoke a military conspiracy?

It was obvious that Theodosio did not empathize with his father's feelings, but Johnson understood very well what Joao IV was worried about, so he quickly reported: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry. The Ming Dynasty understood our difficulties and did not blame us!"

When he heard this, Ruo Ao was overjoyed and felt relieved.

However, he was still confused and asked quickly: "Where are so many steam paddle ships in the port?"

Hearing this, Theodosio replied excitedly: "We bought them all from Ming Kingdom!"

"..." When Joao IV heard this, he was stunned again. How could he afford so many steam paddle ships?

He felt that his son was a little unreliable, so he turned to look at Johnson.

However, this time Johnson did not answer, Theodosio had already explained: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty and Duke Xingguo understood our situation and knew that it was not easy for us, so he sold it to us at a discount. He also said that it would be fine as much as possible until we Portugal has enough ability to protect ourselves."

Speaking of this, before Joao IV said, he added: "Duke Xingguo said that our Portugal was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but it was too far away. The vassal state was in trouble. The sect leader state could not send troops to protect us for the time being and decided to make decisions for us. Therefore, we could only sell more military and national heavy weapons to us first. Considering our financial resources, we were given a discount!"

When Joao IV heard this, his mouth moved. Before he could speak, Theodosio continued excitedly and did not give him a chance to speak: "There are fifty steam paddle ships in total! Moreover, the ship was loaded with new guns, enough for all of us Portugal to arm us!"

When Ruo Ao Fourth Emperor heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

His dizziness was not caused by heatstroke or by stones, but by pies falling from the sky.

Now, Joao IV, who was exploited by Spain, felt in danger and felt the tragedy of a weak country again. As a result, the Ming Empire was wrong. It was the sect leader who directly "gived" fifty steam paddle ships and fifty new guns and cannons!

If so many military and national heavy weapons are used to arm Portugal, I am afraid that Spain will be a big deal!

From then on, Portugal stood up!

From then on, my fourth generation of Joao has become hard!

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt excited and wanted to cry!

Under such circumstances, the Ming Empire was so considerate of him. Not only did he not blame him, but he also helped him in time!

Where can I find such a good sect leader?

When we formed an alliance with the Ming Empire and became a vassal state of the Ming Empire, we really did the right thing, and it was the most correct thing we did in our life!

After finally calming down, Joao IV began to ask about the details about the Ming Empire. At the same time, he naturally told Theodosio and Johnson about the current situation in Portugal.

Not to mention the young and energetic Theodosio, even Johnson was very angry at Spain's oppression.

"Oh!" Joao IV thought of the insults and torture he had suffered before, and couldn't help but sigh. Then, he smiled and said, "Now, with so many important military and national weapons, I feel confident. If Spain wants to oppress us Portugal again, we must also see if he has the strength!"

Hearing this, Theodosio immediately remembered something and quickly said to Joao IV: "Father, Duke Xingguo of the Great Ming Dynasty has a word that I want me to tell you!"

Johnson had already told Joao IV a long time ago that Duke Xingguo said it to Joao IV. Therefore, he understood that Duke Xingguo's words actually meant the Ming Empire.

So he quickly calmed down his emotions, and quickly looked at his son with concentration and said, "What do you want Duke Xingguo of the Ming Dynasty to tell you?"

In Joao IV, I guess it would be something like "not taking the example" and so on, and I have to criticize myself or something.

But who knew that Theodosio said to Joao IV with a look of admiration on his face, "Duke Xingguo said that before the Ming Dynasty can protect you Portugal, one of your Portugal's principles is to ensure your own safety first, and secondly, to ensure the interests of the Ming Dynasty. As long as you can do these two things, no matter what you do, you can take action first and then report!"

Hearing this, Joao IV was stunned again!

He never expected that Duke Xingguo, or the suzerain kingdom, would be so good to Portugal!

After coming back to his senses, Joao IV said with emotion: "In times of hardship and humiliation, God cannot help Portugal, but the Ming Empire did it! I have truly seen it in my life, what is benevolence, righteousness, heroism, and responsibility! It is really a blessing for us Portugal to have such a sect leader!"

If it were in the past, he would never have said such words.
