In the world, no, the long-famous ironclad ships in the South China Sea reappeared on the ocean.

It was Deng Zilong's ship sailing south, the "Son of God" that Chen Mu called it a joke.

However, Deng Zilong was not on the ship. This fleet of three thousand-capacity ships and eighteen warships was led by the general Lu Feng. He was transferred by the Oriental Military Office to lead 1,400 soldiers, riding the wind and waves all the way around the coast, heading to Rio de Janeiro, the governor of Brazil, which the Oriental Military Office believed, believed to be in Rio de Janeiro.

Lu Feng was the chief of the Guangzhou Military Academy and the grandson of Lu Tong, a famous anti-Japanese general. After graduating from the Military Academy, he followed the Beiyang Banner Army to Changsheng. Later, he was the deputy general and commanded the commander of the Qilin guarding the sea.

The transfer order given to them by the Military Office was very strange, saying that the situation in the Brazilian Governor's garrison was chaotic and asked them to protect the local merchants and people.

Lu Feng was confused when he received the order... The Eastern Military Palace and Brazil were not in business. There were merchants and common people in Rio de Janeiro. Even the limited two interactions were the Brazilian Portuguese who came here by themselves. After that, he brought as much goods as he could with him, and there was almost no contact.

And the transfer order given to him was the same as the formation of a sea patrol fleet during the Nanyang Military Palace period. One formation had six ships, three grain ships, two five hundred warships, and one thousand warships.

This method of composition is not for combat or expedition, but for firmly grasping a sea area. At any time, there is a formation resting in the port, a formation patrol offshore, and a formation coastal patrol. The structure is 1,800, and six or seven hundred miles along the coast are all in control.

It is a structure that is used to patrol the coast of one's own country.

The transfer order was urgent and did not give Lu Feng much preparation time. Basically, he received the transfer order from leaving Hong Kong, and the final deadline was only three days left.

But it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He hurriedly sent his subordinates to come out and knocked from door to door at Qilinweihai Port, and asked: Do you want to go to Brazil to do business?

He thought, since the Eastern Military Administration said that they would go to Brazil to protect merchants and people, then Brazil would have merchants and people from the Ming Dynasty. Even if there was no... wouldn't he just take some of them?

In his early years, the Qilin Guard brought a large number of merchants from the Ming Dynasty to make a living here for Li Dan and Chen Jiujing's garrison. The most famous ones were Li Dan and Shi Xiaolou. They and a group of Fujian and Guangxi merchants invested in shore defense fortifications and fort lamps in Qilin Guard.

It is not easy to find hundreds of merchants, but it is easy to find some merchants and family members. These merchants usually help pick up goods at home, waiting for the merchant ship to return to unload and load goods. They have not learned anything in their ability, but they all yearn for a long voyage to make great fortune.

As soon as Lu Feng's soldiers knocked on the door, the things that followed were almost natural.

Hundreds of merchants, hundreds of local people, and even some indigenous people who like to follow the Ming Dynasty immigrants to travel around. For the first time, they took the Ming army warship that they could only watch from a distance. They were undulating with the sea waves under the swaying crane sails, and walked straight to Rio de Janeiro.

At this sensitive time, the news of the Ming ship heading south frightened the ports and colonies along the coast of Brazil.

However, it doesn't seem as scary when it comes into contact. Every time they stop the boat along the way, veterans will take young merchants ashore to look for Portuguese merchants and the owner of the manor. In a trembling manner, the owner of the manor who holds the cross, he will ask about local specialties one by one in unskilled Portuguese, and take out several ship-to-ship goods for people to exhibit and ask about the price.

People went from fear to joy to summon slave workers to move out the same goods from the plantation. After a long time of business, they talked about the guests and guests and hosts all the fun... These Ming soldiers raised their hands and greeted them, and a group of young merchants followed them, and even shouted, they would not come.

Until they arrived in Rio de Janeiro.

The Portuguese soldiers here are much more cautious than other places. Everyone knows that the envoy of General Chen from the Eastern Military Office of the Ming Dynasty has been waiting here for more than three months, and no one dares to neglect them.

Neither the previous messengers nor the current fleet can be neglected.

To be fair, Chen Mu's envoy was doing well in Rio. The largest official in the Portuguese was just a clerk, who was responsible for compiling letters from the Oriental Military Office to send them to El Salvador.

He didn't count on anything he said, so he didn't dare to care about what the messenger was doing here, just asking the messenger to stay here honestly and then have everything.

No matter what you lack, whatever you want, or whatever you want, you will take care of yourself.

This is actually not a Portuguese habit, but they have no other way... If the messenger was a French or an Englishman, they would not even pay attention to it, and they might tie the man to the boat and throw him down to feed the fish after he stayed dozens of miles away from the shore.

Although France is big on the map now, it is really timid when fighting. The fleet they sent here to seize the Brazilian colony has already caused the Portuguese to destroy several groups, and even the so-called Antarctic France has not been killed.

But this messenger was from the Ming Dynasty.

This has nothing to do with whether the Ming Dynasty is powerful or not.

Unlike France and England, the Ming Dynasty did not need to cross the ocean. They could drive a boat to the coast at any time and snatch a sail and leave.

This is different from war.

It was just like the southern Japanese and northern enemy that the Ming Dynasty had faced. The nomads in the north rode their horses across the Great Wall and plundered the south. The Japanese pirates in the south came from the sea and robbed you wherever they wanted to - this was a problem that could not be cured unless a huge war was launched.

Let the Brazilian Governor, which had less than 20,000 Portuguese, launch a war against the Eastern Military Office?

The difference between directly committing suicide by collectively is nothing more than being fast and slow.

I saw warship formation sailing from afar. Six artillery from two turrets in Rio fired cannons to warn the sea. Then the Ming army warship continued to circle southwards, and the six grain-for-good ships slowly docked, explaining the merchants' intentions to the port and showing their goods. The merchants docked and disembarked by a team of flag troops.

Immediately following, a five hundred-material warship sailed into the port and righteously stated that all warships needed to enter the bay to protect the normal trade of merchants.

In Lu Feng's eyes, this step can actually be omitted.

There are only six Franco cannons at the port. What is the use of these things? They are not as good as the artillery of a five-hundred warship. Especially when the port troops are less than 500 people, it is almost no difficulty to capture the port.

Fortunately, the port defenders did not force him to issue an offensive order.

After the Ming army landed, the strait defense positions where six Fran machine guns were located were swaggeringly seized, and issued a joint defense order from the Eastern Army Office to the Governor's Office, but... the Governor did not come out.

It was not until Lu Feng ordered his subordinates to carry a sufficient amount of gunpowder to bury them in the four corners of the outer wall of the Governor's Office and clean up the exterior wall of this complex building that the clerk of the Governor's Brazil walked out slowly with his head hanging down.

The Ming army, who was kept in the dark, finally realized... the Brazilian Governor was really not in Rio de Janeiro.
