On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Longqing, news came from Haojing that the business of Malacca, which Chen Mu did not think was made, was refuted.

The Franchise man, who had always had a good cooperation, did not agree and refused to let Li Dan's fleet go to Malacca for business.

"The adoptive father, the bishop of Haojing, the leader Pereira, the Jesuit Pinto, and the soldier Davega will come to Xiangshan together to explain to you."

Chen Mumei looked a little better, but she still waved her hand and said, "No need, meet in Haojing. I will hold a banquet at the municipal government office to entertain them. You go and prepare."

This answer was somewhat beyond Chen Mu's expectations, but the problem was not big. Since all the Portuguese leaders in Haojing were willing to explain to him, Chen Mu believed that this matter might not be the final decision of them, so he was willing to go to Haojing to listen to their explanation.

In fact, Chen Mu is in a bad mood now. He just sent a letter to the court to confess his guilt, and confessed three crimes such as ineffective training in addition to forming cliques and private practice, which are all bullshit. This seems too funny to him. His military achievements since the first year of Longqing are even comparable to Yu Dayou. No one can compare to him in the entire siege of Zeng Yiben.

His Qianhu Army had the most powerful military equipment and the strongest combat power. He made the best contributions to the court. Because a censor who was full and had nothing to do impeach him, he had to admit his false charges. Who would not be disgusting to put this matter?

Impulse is not scary. If Chen Mu impeaches and embezzles customs, affair with foreign countries, and incites Japanese pirates, he will never be angry. Now he may have gone abroad for fear of crime.

The censor is loyal to his duties, and Chen Mu has nothing to say.

The key point is that this impeachment is obviously written in a nonsense. The censor may not even explain what he is. He probably heard from the side that this Qianhu, who had no foundation, was promoted to commander, and he was just idle to impeach him.

He led thousands of soldiers to kill before he could achieve this today. If the censor starts writing dozens of words, he has to bow his head and confess his guilt.

Chen Mu admired Yu Dayou more and more. Mr. Yu was able to bear the silly bastard with such a silly bastard. He admired him for decades.

The weather in Haojing is not much better than Guangzhou Prefecture, but it has never snowed. Maybe it will be warmer in Qiongzhou Prefecture, but it is a little advantage to be cold. The leather-lined breastplate and the mountain-textile armor will not be very hot. In the past, wearing double armor inside and outside during wars can always make people sweat.

Before leaving the jurisdiction of Xiangshan Prefecture, General Chen never followed the rituals, especially when the destination was Haojing, the eight cavalry in the front and eight cavalry in the back had changed. In the past, Chen Mu would never step on Haojing without a hundred households following him.

That is, from the last Haojing meeting, Lin Feng asked General Chen to learn a truth that sometimes there were fewer people and more momentum.

The ship was disembarked from the north of the island, and the flag troops guarding the gates shouted their guns and saluted. The seventeen horses arrived at the conference square. Li Dan's pirates on both sides of the road were fired into the sky like pirates. Many leaders of the barbarians and merchants had already been waiting in the square with their followers. Chen Mu turned over and dismounted and nodded to several familiar people. Ku Ambassador Zhu Xiang and others were at the door and led General Chen to the first step into the municipal yamen.

In the middle of the middle of the second floor, Chen Mu sat down and took out his notebook to record and form a military band. When everyone sat down, Chen Mu closed the notes and looked at the people with different clothes, and smiled and said, "Do you guys explain?"

Bishop Canelo, Pinto and the leader Pereira laughed, and the new soldier Davega showed doubts, obviously he would not, and the three nodded and answered to Chen Mu also confirmed this guess. Pereira explained to him: "Sir Davega is an excellent warrior, but the time is still short and has not learned it yet."

Unexpectedly, the Portuguese people such as Hao Jing gathered to study their current preferences of the Lingnan military officer of the Ming Dynasty and summarized their characteristics that were very different from those of the Ming Dynasty.

Other wise people can cheerfully praise any virtues of other countries, and their brave self-confidence is not as good as those of them, especially when they are reflected in a nation that can surpass others. This humility is worthy of envy.

This Ming general lacked this common character among Ming people. He had a blind arrogance and an exaggerated defensive attitude towards everything his country had, like a stingy Japanese or a bold Spanish, but not like a Ming person.

Compared with other normal gentle and polite attitudes represented by Ku Ambassador Zhu Xiang, this general's barbarity is a shame for the Ming people!

But due to the pressure of force, Franji was under the roof and could only try his best to cater to his very fragile inferiority complex and learn Ming language.

"It's okay, we have a long time to learn, and I'm learning your language." Chen Mu said this in Portuguese language, and then smiled in Ming language: "I think I've learned pretty well, so - who can explain to me why my Ming people's ship cannot reach the Mantaku Shangshang?"

Chen Mu leaned slightly on the chair, put his hands flat by the table, and ignored the many servants standing by the table, swept over the four Franchise men. In fact, only three of the four were obedient. The new soldier named Davega kept staring at him and wanted to fight him, while the one named Pingto listened and wrote something on the parchment. The bishop looked at him and smiled and greeted him. Pereira was the real person in charge.

"Sorry, my general, I think I can explain this to you." The old warrior Pereira nodded and said to Chen Mu: "Malacca, what you call Mantaga is not up to us. In fact, we are just the leader of the Portuguese people in Haojing. The king granted the governor the power to govern there. We cannot change the rules of Malacca like the general who changes the rules of Haojing by his heart. There are rules there, and I hope the general can understand it."

Chen Mu couldn't see his expression on his face and said disapprovingly: "What are the rules you are in Malacca? Let's hear it."

"The trade routes of Malacca, Haojing and Nagasaki are very rich. They are only granted to the nobles who are famous, active and outstanding in our country. Every ship you see in Haojing is licensed by the king to pass through Malacca and arrive at Haojing." Pereira was very proud when she said this, because he was one of them and continued to explain to Chen Mu: "Even if private merchants join now, they will still pay high investments to the king and bid for the franchise through 5,500 Kruzados."

“This is not something we can decide.”

After speaking sincerely, Pereira changed the subject and said, "But this is not absolute. Given that you were also a general with outstanding achievements and great prestige in the Ming Dynasty and reached a good personal relationship with us, if we use private power together, you may only need to pay a small price for the general to obtain the permission for this route."

As he said that, Pereira turned to Bishop Canelo, and after saluting, Canelo opened his arms and said, "Lost Lamb, when you fall into the arms of the Lord, Jesus will guide your fleet to dock in Malacca safely..."

The morning of insomnia is not very good!
