October 15, 1674 AD, the colony of Goa in the Portuguese Viceroyalty of India.

Several armed merchant ships flying the British Union Jack rolled up snow-white waves and slowly sailed into Goa's New Goa Port. This port, located at the mouth of an inland river, is trumpet-shaped and has a relatively large entrance.

It is wide and becomes narrower inward, making it easy to blockade. The Portuguese built many forts on both sides of the river mouth to firmly control the port. No foreign ships are allowed to enter without permission.

The forts in the port are now controlled by Goan mercenaries loyal to King Alfonso. French, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese ships loyal to Regent Pedro are not allowed to enter.

Of course, the Goan ships loyal to King Alfonso could not get out because there were always several Dutch armed merchant ships wandering off the coast of Goa. They were sent by the Dutch Indian fleet to monitor and blockade the port of Goa!

However, these ships did not dare to attack the armed merchant fleet of the British East India Company. The neutral Republic of England now had the most powerful navy in Europe, and it was an existence that France and the Netherlands were unwilling to provoke.

Moreover, Britain's neutrality was actually what Louis XIV expected. Because Louis XIV did not want trade with China to be completely interrupted, his kingdom also gained a lot of profits from trade with China. So he needed a neutral Britain.

to maintain this kind of trade that is beneficial to both parties.

In addition, he also needs Britain to play the role of peacemaker when necessary.

Therefore, Britain's neutrality is now recognized by France, the Netherlands, and Spain. Spain also declared war after the Battle of Kinmen Bay, and the Portuguese Regent, Dashun and other countries recognized it. The Ming Empire also officially issued a diplomatic statement recognizing Britain's neutrality.

Although Zhu Cixiang was in a neutral position and was very afraid of the "British Empire", he still needed Britain as a trade bridge to maintain the export of silk, tea, porcelain, and lacquerware to Japan.

However, the Timurid Empire of India ignored Britain's neutral status and still gave orders to the British East India Company to let the East India Company's ships carry troops and arms for itself.

If the British East India Company does not implement Aurangzeb's will, then it will be expelled from the Indian market!

Of course, the British now dare not confront Aurangzeb, and they are even less willing to lose the "money printing machine" of India. They have no choice but to offend France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Dashun under the banner of "neutrality"

, continue to serve the Timurid Empire.

The French and Dutch also turned a blind eye to this, what else could they do? The large fleet they sent to the Americas was completely wiped out in the Golden Gate Bay, and now they can still break up with Britain?

So on the stern deck of one of the several British armed merchant ships that entered the port today, a large ship with a load of more than 500 tons, stood King Alfonso, Henry Zhu, Zhu Cibing and others. They were all looking at what was in front of them with deep thoughts.

affairs.

The port of New Goa lay before them.

European-style buildings with blue water and white sand can be seen everywhere. They are tall and neat, full of European colonial flavor. They reflect the sunlight near the equator and look unusually clean. They are in sharp contrast to the local Indian buildings that always look a little dirty!

New Goa Port is surrounded by plantations, which mainly grow rice, betel nut, cashew nuts and coconuts, and also produce some spices. Most of the owners of these plantations are Macanese, and a considerable number of them belong to Albuquerque in Goa.

The Gram family. And those who work among them are local farmers from Goa who have converted to Catholicism.

For more than a hundred years, the Kingdom of Portugal has been trying to make Goa a region indistinguishable from the mainland. Therefore, it has spared no effort to promote Portuguese-Turkish intermarriage, and has also worked hard to spread Catholicism and force local indigenous people to convert. After more than a hundred years of

Through hard work, Goa has finally become a Catholic country with many churches and Catholic believers everywhere.

However, this Kingdom of God was not as beautiful as the Duke of Goa envisioned, and became an "overseas Portugal". In fact, Goa's heyday has long been gone with the decline of the Portuguese world empire.

Returned.

The sign of the decline of the Goa colony is the continuous decline of the white population with relatively pure blood! In Goa's heyday, the Portuguese Kingdom once vigorously immigrated to Goa, and also encouraged Portuguese men who immigrated to Goa and settled in Goa.

Persian women Goa was originally a commercial center, and a large number of Persian businessmen intermarried to expand the white population.

However, with the decline of the Portuguese maritime empire and the development of the Brazilian colony, the white people who originally settled in Goa left one after another to find a better future. By the time King Alfonso arrived, the number of relatively white Macanese had already declined.

There are too many. It has become the mainstream that most of the "earth-white mixed-race" people with darker skin are illegitimate children, and their number is also declining.

The main reason for the decrease in the number of "earth-white mixed blood" is the plague that is difficult to eradicate!

In Goa, the capital of Portuguese India, a plague breaks out every few years, killing the residents there one after another. Those who survive either resign themselves to their fate and seek spiritual comfort from Catholicism, or

I moved to New Goa, which is closer to the sea and relatively clean.

Although the capital of Goa and Portuguese India is still Goa City, the real center of Goa has been transferred to New Goa.

The Macanese nobles who gathered in New Goa also wanted to escape from this increasingly bleak "overseas Portugal". However, their skin color was not white enough, or they owned too many properties in Goa, so they did not leave.

The arrival of King Alfonso undoubtedly gave these people hope of leaving Goa decently!

The leader of the Albuquerque family in Goa, the female knight Maria is one of them. Now she is standing on the dock of New Goa, waiting for Alfonso with the chief minister appointed by King Alfonso.

King Fangsuo disembarked from the British armed merchant ship.

She had just given birth to a fat boy who was less than a month old. His skin was very white, as white as King Alfonso from Portugal. And Maria herself had some Indian Indo-Aryan ancestry, and her skin color was darker. However,

She is still a stunning beauty, much prettier than King Alfonso's ex-wife. She just gave birth to a child now, and she looks a lot plumper, and will have a bit more charm when the time comes.

The newly born prince is now being held by an indigenous maid and is also waiting for his father King Alfonso on the dock.

At this time, trumpets and drums suddenly sounded, and then King Alfonso was seen being the first to step off a British armed merchant ship that had just docked, walking lightly and smiling.

Maria also showed a charming smile and looked towards the king who was disembarking from the boat. As a result, he saw Henry Zhu dressed in Ming Dynasty military uniform walking behind King Alfonso. Now, the smile on her face became even brighter.

Got it

Henry Chu also saw Maria and nodded to her from a distance. Their eyes met, almost causing sparks to fly, and then they moved away slightly at the same time.

Alfonso Wang flew to his wife's side. Without waiting for her to curtsy, he stepped forward and kissed her. Then he smiled and said to his wife: "Dear," Aurangzeb is willing to support me in killing her.

After returning to Portugal, he is willing to help me clear the Ottoman Empire and let us go to Lisbon via North Africa!"

Maria showed a surprised smile and said to her husband: "Your Majesty, I also have good news that our son was born! Now the whole world knows that you are a real king, and Pedro and Maria Francesca are

He is a sinner who has usurped the throne!"
