"Buddha...Folangjiren's warship!" Palac suddenly woke up and pointed to the warship that had just exposed the sea in the distance and shouted loudly, with panic in his voice. The Kingdom of Malacca was affected by the Ming Dynasty and would also

All Europeans are called Florians, but now only the Portuguese fleet can appear in Malacca City.

With his shout, the others in the port also noticed the warships on the sea in the distance. At this moment, the entire port suddenly became strangely quiet, and then screamed immediately, most of them were terrified backwards.

Escape, but most of the people who escaped were locals in Malacca. Those who were on the merchant ships anchored at the port were a little confused, so they didn't understand what happened, and they didn't know why the people in Malacca City wanted to escape?

In fact, the reason why Parak and the Malacca people escaped was mainly because they all knew the warships in the distance, because just two years ago, the Portuguese who were driving those warships came to Malacca City and wanted to occupy it. Unfortunately

However, the Kingdom of Malacca fought desperately, but after paying a considerable price, it finally repelled the Portuguese and even captured many Portuguese soldiers, who are still locked in the cell in Malacca City.

It was also the big battle last year that the Kingdom of Malacca not only paid the price of thousands of casualties, but also the port was seriously damaged, and many non-combatants even died. Parak had not yet been a water supply officer at that time.

His previous water supply officer died at the hands of the Portuguese, and he also witnessed the cruelty of the Portuguese with his own eyes, so he seemed so panicked when he saw the Portuguese warship again.

However, compared with the locals of Malacca, the sea merchants docked in the port docked in the port did not know the cruelty of the Portuguese, nor did they know that the danger had already enveloped them. Therefore, they were all a little unclear, but some smarter merchants had already

After all, he couldn't react and threw the ship down and fled to the city with the Malacca people. After all, although the goods and ships are valuable, they only have one life.

Above the Portuguese warship, the new Indian Governor Alfonso stood at the bow of the ship with a leisurely look on his face, looking at the panic scene at the Malacca port in the distance. A smile hangs on the corner of his mouth. After a while, he only listens

He whispered to himself: "Francisco is really a fool. He led so many troops the year before, but was defeated by the Malacca people. No wonder His Majesty asked me to replace him as the governor!"

Francisco, whom Alfonso mentioned, was the former governor of India, the governor who forced the Sila family to escape to the Ming Dynasty. However, because Francisco's battle with South China Sea was not good, he had been

The Portuguese king ordered the removal, and Alfonso is now replaced by the other party as the governor of India.

Speaking of which, Alfonso had arrived in India the previous year and announced the king's order to Francisco to replace the other party as the governor of India, but Francisco refused to admit this order, but still did not.

He was willing to hand over the power and even imprisoned Alfonso until last year another fleet sent by Portugal arrived in India, which forced Francisco to hand over the power and release Ah

Fang Suo.

However, it is precisely the above incident that made Alfonso very resentful to Francisco. He wanted to do better than the other party in everything, such as attacking Malacca now. Last time Francisco attacked

This place failed, but Alfonso had the will to win this time, because he not only brought more troops this time, but also prepared more fully.

The fleet led by Alfonso soon arrived at the port in Malacca. Eighteen tall warships lined up, blocking the entrances and exits of the entire port. No ships in the port could leave, which immediately caused

Many merchant ships were dissatisfied with each other and wanted to come forward to argue, but when they saw the cannons on the Portuguese fleet, they all retreated in fear.

After blocking the port, Alfonso immediately sent people ashore to meet the king of the Kingdom of Malacca. At this time, the people of Malacca were all ready. All the unrelated people left the port and returned to the city. The 30,000 Malacca soldiers were already ready.

In preparation for the battle, although they defeated the Portuguese last time, they also paid a huge price. At the same time, they also knew that the Portuguese firearms were very sharp, so they did not dare to be careless at all.

After receiving the Portuguese envoy, Sultan Mahmoud, the king of the Kingdom of Malacca, proposed three conditions to him: the first was to ask them to release the detained Portuguese prisoners of war, and the second was to compensate the Portuguese who brought to the last war.

The third loss is to ced a piece of land near Malacca City, allowing the Portuguese to use it to build fortresses in order to better maintain local peace in Nanyang.

These three points proposed by Alfonso can be said to be the essence of the word "shameless". They obviously attacked Malacca City first, but failed because of insufficient preparation. But now they are bringing troops to ask others to compensate them.

Loss is simply shameless. But this is also the usual logic of European robbers. As long as their fists are bigger than others, their words are the truth. If others want to object, unless your fists are bigger and harder than him.

After listening to these three points proposed by the Portuguese envoy, Sultan Mahmoud was so angry that he shivered all over. The ministers on both sides were also very angry, especially the generals, who were even more clamoring to fight the Portuguese to the death.

After all, they had defeated the Portuguese once last time. Although they paid a great price, they had great psychological advantages after all.

Sultan Mahmood did not have real power, and all matters in the country need to be decided by the Prime Minister Schultai. However, Schultai was obviously also angry by the Grape people, so he quickly stepped forward to Sultan Mahmood suggested,

We must let those shameless Portuguese see the power of the Kingdom of Malacca.

With Shultai's statement, other ministers also asked for their orders, and Sultan Mahmoud naturally would not refuse. So the Mali Kingdom quickly made a decision to resist firmly, and even to express their determination, Sultan

.Mahmoud also ordered people to cut off the nose of the Grape Envoy, and killed ten Grape Envoys prisoners of war, and asked the envoys to bring the prisoners of war back, responding to Alfonso's shamelessness in this tough way.

.

"Bastards, barbarians, and Malacca are all shameless barbarians!" On the flagship, when Alfonso saw the messenger with blood on his face and the ten heads, he was so angry that he brought the valuable porcelain cups in his hand.

After falling, a crazy light flashed in his two blue eyes, and he wanted to order an attack on Malacca City immediately.

However, although Alfonso was angry, he forced himself to calm down in the end because he didn't want to repeat Francisco's mistakes. After all, the Portuguese did not have any foundation in Nanyang, and they did not have many troops in their hands. If it were true

If he fights the Malacca people to the death, even if he wins in the end, he will probably suffer a considerable loss. At that time, he, the Indian governor, will definitely bear certain responsibilities.

It is precisely because of this that Alfonso did not rush to attack Malacca City. Instead, he sent people to check the terrain around Malacca City, and completely blocked the ports of Malacca, and did not allow any ships to enter and exit. He would only see the Kingdom of Malacca.

The ships would be destroyed immediately. Although the Malacca people also had a navy, their boats had no choice but to compare with the Portuguese, so they could only crouch in the port and not come out in the end, so they would not be regarded as targets by others.

On the one hand, the Portuguese did not dare to organize troops to attack ashore for the time being, and on the other hand, the navy was too weak and could only put all hope on the land, so the two sides were in a stalemate for a while. However, Alfonso's side was obviously in such a stalemate.

He took the initiative and he had the final say when the war started. The people of Malacca could only passively defend. Moreover, with the port blocked, the previous merchant ships could not dock at the port, which caused Malacca to lose a lot of taxes every day.

Although the Malacca people are not easy to live, the maritime merchants who come and go are more uncomfortable than them. For example, those ships that originally wanted to replenish water at the port of Malacca are now unable to enter the port at all. In the end, they can only find a way for themselves. Many ships are because of food.

and tolerate hunger and thirst if fresh water is insufficient.

However, compared with the maritime merchants blocked in the port, they felt even more uncomfortable. They originally wanted to replenish some water in the port and left, but now they are blocked in the port by the Portuguese, and neither people nor ships can do anything

Leaving, especially some merchants have signed an agreement with others. If they cannot deliver the goods on time, they will have to pay a lot of money.

It is precisely because of this that from the day the Portuguese besieged the port of Malacca, merchants have been constantly taking small boats to the Portuguese warships, hoping to see Alfonso and ask the other party to let their ship leave.

However, Alfonso refused all the requests of these merchants, and he didn't even see them in the end. After all, there was no big force behind those merchants, and it was not enough to attract his attention. Moreover, he also wanted to give them through these merchants.

The Kingdom of Malacca puts pressure.

However, on the tenth day after Alfonso besieged the port of Malacca, another merchant came to ask for a meeting. And this time it was not one or two, but a group of merchants. Of course, if this was the case, it would not be enough to attract Alfonso's attention.

, but the key is that the other party was a group of Ming Dynasty merchants, which forced Alfonso to pay attention to it, and finally decided to meet the other party.

As mentioned in the previous article, Europe's understanding of the Central Plains dynasty is mainly through Marco Polo's travel notes, and Europe is in its darkest period, so they have a beautiful imagination of the Central Plains dynasty and have a certain sense of respect in their hearts.
