When Qu Shixi and others arrived in Guangzhou one after another, Zhao Ming was not in the city of Guangzhou, but in Macau.

Macau used to be a small fishing village. Its real name was Haojing. Because Bokou could be called "Ao" at that time, it was called "Macao".

After the Western world began its voyage, the Portuguese arrived in Macau and reached an agreement with the Guangdong local government to obtain the right to residency in Macau.

However, at this time, Macau can still be regarded as a colony because it has a Guangdong government, and it has set up a yamen here to manage Macau.

At first, the Portuguese not only had to pay taxes every year, but also had to obey the government's management. However, as time went by, the Portuguese grew up in Macau, gradually forming a gathering area dominated by the Portuguese, excluding the Han people from this area, forming a situation where the Portuguese occupied Macau.

Seeing this, the local government stopped managing the Portuguese affairs in order not to cause trouble. When encountering conflicts between the Portuguese and the Han people, they were mostly inclined to the Portuguese, resulting in Macau, and the Portuguese gradually gained status and privileges higher than ordinary Han people.

This time, Zhao Ming came to Macau mainly to investigate whether the Portuguese in Macau still had the necessity to exist.

Since the founding of the sea trade in the Han Dynasty, it has had contacts with the Netherlands, Spain and the British, and the exchanges are stable and complex, but it has not had much communication with the Portuguese.

Nowadays, all trade ports have exchanges with Western barbarians. So is it necessary to use Macau as a window for exchanges, and does it need to regain the Portuguese’s right to live in Macau?

Outside the Portuguese Governor's Office in Macau, there are also streets full of Han soldiers standing with guns.

When the King of Han arrived in Macau, the Portuguese only held a very brief and fierce discussion, and then withdrew the defense and allowed the King of Han to enter Macau.

There was no way, the Han army was too powerful, and the Portuguese could not stop it at all, so they could only recognize the current affairs as heroes.

Furthermore, they are now legally staying in Macau. If they fight against the Han army, then the Han King will have an excuse to drive them out of Macau.

At this time, Zhao Ming was walking on the streets of Macau, followed by the prefect of Guangzhou and the governor of Macau Yisusha of Portugal. Both of them were carefully accompanied Zhao Ming.

Since the Jiajing period of Jiaming, the Portuguese have been in Macau for a hundred years.

The fishing village at that time has now developed into a town, with streets and buildings built of stones, which is very exotic.

Zhao Ming looked at the buildings on both sides and the Catholic churches, both in European style, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

The Governor of Macau beside him, Yi Susha, always pays attention to the face of the Ming prince.

Yi Susha has received news that His Highness, the King of Han, came to Macau to consider whether to withdraw his right of residence.

The Han Kingdom was strong, and even the Netherlands and the Spaniards were defeated. With the strength of the Portuguese, they could not compete with the Han King.

If the King of Han decided to take back Macau, the Portuguese would have to give up Macau, which had been operating for a hundred years, and leave the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Yi Susha can only try her best to please the King of Han and satisfy the King of Han, and hope that the King of Han will allow the Portuguese to continue to stay in Macau.

"The Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire, Xu Er and others live here. They should adapt to the system of our Celestial Empire as soon as possible and integrate into the Celestial Empire!" Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "In the future, the construction of houses and buildings requires approval from the government, and they must not be armed. Han people should be able to enter the Portuguese gathering area in Macau at will!"

Zhao Ming did not object to the four barbarians entering China, but after entering, they did not integrate into China, but also made their own arrangements and closed their circles. Instead, they kept sending their things to China, that is, cultural and religious invasions.

This is absolutely not allowed. It is okay for peacetime. Once civil strife in China, these ethnic groups that are rooted in China, with completely different cultures, habits and beliefs will become the root cause of the turmoil.

The Five Barbarians invaded China and the Northwest people’s chaos are examples.

Just talk about Macau, which later took advantage of the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, was transformed into a colony by Portugal.

Zhao Ming believed that China's opening up is a must-develop. Over the years, the open China has been relatively powerful.

Zhao Ming did not reject the Four Barbarians entering China. After all, cultural exchanges and trade are needed. However, to stay in China, one must be the kind of person who admires Chinese culture and truly integrates with them. At the same time, he cannot give more treatment than the Han people.

This is how the Portuguese in Macau are now. After a hundred years, due to the inaction of the government, they have privileges in Macau and their treatment can be said to be higher than that of the people of the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally cannot integrate into it.

Portuguese Governor Isusha couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. Zhao Ming continued to instruct: "Portuguese who come to Macau must register with the government. They are craftsmen, missionaries, sailors, exiled prisoners. They should write them gently everywhere and screen them. Not everyone can obtain the right of residence."

Zhao Ming took a walk around Macau and checked the Portuguese docks, gun factories, and shops. He originally planned to take back Macau. In the future, the Portuguese, like other Western barbarians, went to various ports for trade. They entered the mainland and needed approval and were not allowed to stay for a long time. They could only obtain the right of residence unless they were talents that the government thought were useful.

However, after Zhao Ming visited the Jesuit University in Macau and saw many books and subjects in different categories, he changed his mind and kept it for the time being.

Chinese culture focuses on the way of adulthood and cultivates personality, while the West attaches importance to the laws of external things.

At present, Zhao Ming still needs the Portuguese to start another wave of Western learning to spread eastward, promote exchanges and make up for shortcomings.

After looking around in Macau, Zhao Ming ordered Cao to judge Dai Zhijun to formulate a system and regulations to manage Macau, and then returned to Guangzhou.

As soon as Zhao Ming entered Guangzhou, an official came to report that Gu Yuanjing attracted several surrenders and had been in the city for many days and was waiting for meeting in the inn.

When Zhao Ming heard this, he washed up a little and met everyone in the palace hall.

At this time, Zhao Ming came out from behind the screen, and Gu Yuanjing whispered: "Your Highness is here."

When Qu Shixi and others heard this, they stood up and bowed to the Prime Minister to welcome him.

Zhao Ming sat down until the main seat, and then said, "Sit."

Everyone sat in turn, unfamiliar at first, and some were a little unfamiliar, and they all lowered their heads and no one spoke.

Zhao Ming glanced over and asked, "Where is Qu Fujun?"

Qu Shixi stood up and bowed, "I am humble to serve as the governor of Guangxi, Qu Shixi, and meet His Highness the King of Han! I wish to assist King Gui with His Highness and pacify the world!"

Zhao Ming frowned slightly, but still smiled and said, "With the help of Qu Fujun, I will definitely be able to revive the Ming Dynasty. Qu Fujun is familiar with Guangxi, so he is still the governor of Guangxi, exterminate Zhu Yu'e, and resist the Western thieves!"

Qu Shizi bowed and received the order.

Zhao Ming then smiled at everyone again and said, "Everyone, please report to your home one by one!"

After the words came to the ground, one of them stood up and bowed with his fists, "I am a humble general, Zhao Yinxuan, who was originally a general of Yunnan, supported southern Jiangxi, and fought against the Tartars in Huguang! Now I am here to join His Highness, and I have no different intentions. I only hope to serve in front of the army and make achievements."

"Okay!" Zhao Ming exclaimed and asked again: "What else?"

Another general got up to report the fist and said loudly: "Hu Yiqing, a humble general, is also a general in Yunnan. He chose Zhao Yin to fight with the Qing soldiers in southern Jiangxi!"

Next, the chieftains and generals who came came reported to their homes one by one and saluted Zhao Ming, and Zhao Ming made arrangements one by one.

Finally, there was only one last person left in the lobby. Zhao Ming smiled and said, "This is Ding Duxian!"

Ding Kuichu hurriedly walked into the hall, knelt down without any courage, and kowtowed, "It's me! I am willing to serve your Highness."
