Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 753 Paraiba
St. Louis can be regarded as a relatively large stronghold of the Portuguese in the northern part of the Governorate of Brazil.

There is a huge bay with a width of more than two hundred miles and a depth of more than three hundred miles. A peninsula protrudes from the middle of the bay, and there is a bay several miles wide above the peninsula.

The terrain of this kind of bay within a bay is really a rare good harbor, not to mention the calm and sea, it is also very hidden.

Therefore, Carinho, De Sierra and the Daming Navy fleet stationed here together.

They originally thought that after taking down all the colonial strongholds in the northern part of the Brazilian Viceroyalty, Taichang would take them to recover the real colonies in the south. At first, they were all very excited.

Unexpectedly, they waited for several months, but there was no movement from Taichang.

This time really made them miserable.

De Sierra is better, there are at least a few thousand Portuguese here, and he has recruited at least a few hundred young men so that he can practice well.

Carinho is in pain, he is just a bare-bones governor, he has nothing to do!

As for why Taichang kept them here and didn't let them go to Xinma City or Xinzhang City, it was mainly because of their looks.

They are also yellow-haired and white-faced, and they look the same as the Portuguese colonists.

People from the primitive tribes here must be able to tell at a glance that they are Europeans.

Although they are not European colonial robbers, they really look exactly like the Portuguese colonists.

If they were allowed to stay in Xinma City or Xinzhang City, the primitive tribes here would inevitably misunderstand that Ming had colluded with the European colonial bandits.

In this way, they will inevitably have doubts about Da Ming and dare not trust Da Ming.

Therefore, Taichang asked them to find a colonial stronghold outside to stay. Anyway, they don’t care about the food. He will also send the food and salaries of Daming’s sailors and infantry, including De Xie La’s soldiers, on time. They will stay for a long time Nothing at all.

Of course, an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to meet her parents-in-law, and they will eventually meet and get along with the primitive tribes here.

Not now, though.

Taichang was going to completely subdue the primitive tribes here before letting them get in touch with others. At that time, he didn't have to worry about the primitive tribes here being misunderstood.

How did Carlinio and Desierra know Taichang's thoughts, they only thought that Taichang had forgotten them.

Fortunately, this afternoon, their old partner or old superior, Daming Jinyiwei Commander Luo Sigong finally came.

When the two saw Luo Sigong, it was like seeing a long-lost relative, and they were so excited.

Because Luo Sigong was originally the forward coach, he was the one who took them to recover Natal last time.

This time they came here, probably to take them to recover other colonies.

Sure enough, after exchanging warm greetings with the two of them, Luo Sigong put away his smile and said solemnly: "The emperor has ordered us to take down the colony in the south of Xinzhang Kingdom together."

Hearing this, Carinho couldn't help but excitedly said: "Great, the emperor finally remembered this."

Will you speak?
When Luo Sigong heard this, he couldn't help correcting him solemnly: "It's not that the emperor forgot about this matter, we as courtiers can't say that about the emperor.

Your Majesty, it is for your safety, and also to avoid the casualties of the soldiers under his command, that's why we act steadily, let us find out the situation before launching.

It's not like you don't know the situation in Xinzhang. If the road in the jungle is not opened, we won't be able to explore south.

These months we are not just waiting, we are trying to find a way to open the way to the colony in the south. "

Uh, well, gaffe, gaffe.

Carinho quickly shut his mouth.

But De Sierra couldn't help asking: "Lord Luo, has the road leading to the southern colony been opened?"

Luo Sigong nodded slightly and said: "Well, we have already opened up, and we can start when you go over."

At this time, Carinho couldn't help asking again: "Master Luo, how about we set off now?"

Well, it's the same rest on the boat anyway.

Luo Sigong looked at the sky, and then urged: "Then hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up much today."

Carinho and De Xieira heard this, and hurriedly ran back to gather their cronies and troops.

Luo Sigong also ordered the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion stationed here to quickly pack up their things and board the boat, ready to set off.

As for the thousands of Portuguese gathered here, anyway, they didn't have a boat. If Da Ming didn't provide them with food, the thousands of people would definitely not be able to find enough food in this kind of place.

Besides, the young and strong among these people are basically recruited by De Xieira, and they can't do anything wrong, so it's okay to leave them here for a while.

Luo Sigong led the fleet to continue to set off after picking up Carinho, Deixeira and the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion.

Two days later, they arrived in Xinzhang City.

Luo Sigong didn't stay here for too long, he just invited several elders of the North American Indian tribes to confess, and then he took all the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion here and set off.

They are going to take down the southern colony, which is equivalent to the rear, and five thousand young and strong North American Indian tribes are enough to guard it.

On the third day, they arrived at Dongzhang Port. When they arrived here, they could not go any further. The area that was controlled by the Portuguese was beyond.

Luo Sigong directly led the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion to the shore in batches in spiked warships, set up a big camp, and then ordered people to ride fast horses to gather all the generals of the Shenwu Battalion and the elders of the North American Indian tribes in the jungle camp.

In the handsome tent, Luo Sigong did not sit high on the handsome position.

In order to facilitate the discussion, he directly asked the generals of the Shenwu Battalion, the elders of the North American Indian tribes, and Carlinio and De Sierra to stand on both sides of the large table in the middle, and first let everyone take a good look at the map on the table.

After a while, everyone had seen it all, and then he pointed to the map and said solemnly: "The defenders in this colony are much more than the ones in Natal back then, and they are also bigger than the ones in Natal back then." The colonists were much more brutal.

What the emperor meant, in order to avoid casualties, this time we have to ask the young and strong from the North American Indian tribe to help us pretend to be people from the primitive tribe here, and go to the city to cooperate with us. "

Heck, it's great to be able to help, we just want to help.

The elders of several North American Indian tribes nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, if there is anything you need to do, please tell me."

Luo Sigong nodded slightly, then pointed to the map and said: "If you want to enter the city pretending to be people from primitive tribes here, you must drive there by land. Therefore, we must first open the passage to the main city of the Portuguese colonists. .”

what?
Carinho and De Xieira couldn't help being dumbfounded when they heard this.

Didn't you say that the channel has been opened?
There are still two or three hundred miles in the middle that have not been opened!
Of course they know how troublesome it is to open a road in the jungle. Even if there are tens of thousands of horses, it is considered amazing to be able to drive ten miles in this kind of jungle in a day.

Doesn't this mean that they have to wait another month!

Unexpectedly, Luo Sigong directly said to the general of the Shenwu Battalion who was guarding here: "You will start the construction early tomorrow morning, as fast as possible, and strive to open the passage to the first big farm within three days."

Several generals of the Shenwu Battalion heard the words, and hurriedly cupped their hands and said: "The general will understand."

Carinho and De Xieira were dumbfounded again when they heard this.

Three days!

Are you kidding me?
The road in this jungle can be driven hundreds of miles in three days?
Of course they also know that looking at the scale on the map, the so-called first farm is nearly a hundred miles away from here.

Luo Sigong didn't explain anything to them, but directly said to De Xieira: "If the young and strong Indian tribes in North America want to get close to their main city quietly, we have to secretly take down the two farms in the middle, and Don't let people find abnormalities.

When the time comes, you will take your men and horses to attack with me, first take down these two farms. "

Also sneak attack?
Deixeira was a little confused.

Of course, he knows how many people they can have on a farm. There are at most a hundred people, and there are at most twenty people with weapons. Is there a need for a sneak attack?
Luo Sigong didn't explain it to others in detail, anyway, he would personally go over to give instructions when the time came, and Deixeira only had to follow orders.

Immediately afterwards, he said to the general of the Shenwu Battalion who came from St. Louis: "You have to work hard these few days, and build a dock where the Aegis ship and the gunboat are docked."

Well, the pier where the Aegis ship and the Louchuan gunboat dock is not so big, you actually asked someone to build it in a few days.

Both Carinho and De Xieira were stunned.

The generals of the Shenwu Battalion cupped their hands without hesitation and said, "The general understands."

This matter was almost arranged, Luo Sigong waved his hand directly and ordered everyone to retreat.

Carlinio and De Xieira were still standing there in a daze.

Because Luo Sigong didn't tell them any specific plan at all, they were all in a daze.

They wanted to ask Luo Sigong, but unexpectedly, Luo Sigong pointed to the map and asked first: "What are the names of these two colonies?"

To be honest, even Taichang couldn't understand the Spanish and Portuguese.

And this kind of small place on the world map is a place less than the size of a fingernail, so when they draw the world map, they naturally don't mark it on purpose.

Generally, the names of such places have to be translated by Carlinio and De Sierra according to the pronunciation.

Carinho looked at the Portuguese on the map, pondered it carefully, and then pointed to the map and said: "This colony should be called Paraiba in the official Ming Dynasty, and the colony below is in the official Ming Dynasty It should be called Pernambuco.

These two colonies and the Bahia colony seem to be the first colonies developed by the Portuguese here, and both have a history of more than 100 years.

I also inquired before I came, and it seems that these two colonies are controlled by the nobles of the Duke of Braganza. "

Hearing this, Luo Sigong couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.

It turned out to be the case, no wonder why Paraiba is much more developed than Natal.

The nobles of the Duke of Braganza?
The lord of Paraiba should know the situation in Bahia, and he will have to be arrested and interrogated.
