Chapter 1124 Fleet
Matosa, the governor of Portuguese Brazil, was extremely disturbed, but amidst this anxiety, he felt deep admiration for his wit.

Whether it is sending people to Changsheng, or Zhao Shizhen's fleet going north, Brazil will unify its caliber with Daming, and Rio de Janeiro is their capital.

But in fact, their Brazilian Governor's Palace has always been in El Salvador, a seaport in the north of Rio. They named the bay next to the harbor All Saints Bay, which means the savior next to All Saints Bay.

This was the first town established by the Portuguese when they arrived in the New World, and it was also the largest slave market in the New World, but they couldn't save anyone but themselves.

Compared with the brutal Spanish colonization in the northern part of the New World, the Portuguese had little power, and their relationship with the aborigines was peaceful enough. For a long time, the Portuguese in Brazil and the aborigines did not interfere with each other, and only strengthened the relationship between the two sides through trade.

At that time, the Portuguese really seemed to have found paradise. Through the king's order, every Portuguese who voluntarily came to Brazil could get a piece of land, ranging from a few hundred square kilometers to thousands of square kilometers, except for courage and swords. The paupers who have none have suddenly become the owners of large estates.

You don’t have to do anything every day, just lay in the hammock and bask in the sun while smoking a cigarette, ring the bell when you’re hungry, and an Indian wife will bring you food.

In this way, can the colony develop?
Who cares whether the colony can develop or not, as long as they live comfortably.

This kind of good life lasted for many years. It was almost until the death of that generation that the King of Portugal actually sent a governor to implement management. This was also the beginning of tragedy.

It is very difficult for a small number of Portuguese to rule thousands of times the aborigines. In the past, the king granted a large amount of land to the colonists, but a large amount of these lands were idle because they could not be cultivated at all. Aboriginal tribes who ignored the colonists.

At that time, they had a large manor with thousands of yuan, but their annual output was pitifully small.

Everyone owns endless land in name, but in fact there is only a small business station in the middle of other people's land. When the aborigine leader is happy, he sends people to bring leather and mahogany to sell for some glass balls.

When the Governor came, everything was different.

They have to use the land, so they have to attract the aborigines to farm... But the aborigines are not stupid. I live well in the jungle. If I want to eat something, I can pick it from the tree, and if I want to use it, I can get it from animals. Pick up, come out to work for you if you are full?
Conflicts will come, and peace will never return.

Counting from the forced farming ordered by the first governor, three years later the Portuguese's large estates were reduced to dozens.

The colonists were all killed by the aborigines, and the colony was directly wiped out by the aborigines.

No way, the first wave of colonists who came to Brazil were characters whose grandparents didn’t love their grandparents. At first, the pope’s meridian was drawn directly along the east coast of the New World. At that time, Europeans didn’t know the New World, nor did they know Why did the Pope draw so accurately that the map divided on the Portuguese side perfectly avoided every plant and tree in the New World.

Later, after the discovery of the New World, Portugal cried, made trouble, and hanged itself. It was only a little bit off the New World, and the eastern part of Brazil was just drawn in, which made the Portuguese send thousands of people here.

No gold or silver was found here, and the ambitious colonists all went to other places, and those who stayed here were not very promising.

No matter what to do, what to eat is not enough.

But they are very smart, knowing that they can't beat the aborigines, so they can only further develop some coastal colonies, and leave the rest alone.

However, they are also sending slave hunting teams to the jungle at the same time. Due to the current size of the Portuguese in Brazil, the slave hunting teams can only be small and very few.

There are also very few aborigines who are forced to work for them, and more plantations are slaves bought from Africa.

The governor, Matosa, was worried about Brazil and tried his best to expand trade opportunities. He once took the initiative to go to Changsheng to look for Chen Mu, hoping that the trade envoy was sent by him.

But the result was not good. Chen Mu looked at the goods and felt that there was really nothing to buy, and the merchants of Ming Dynasty were not very interested in it.

The position is very embarrassing.

To put it simply, Da Ming's coming to the New World is a signal, symbolizing that their good days are coming to an end.

Although the Japanese military government did not actually do anything to Brazil, once bad luck is entangled, no good things will happen.

Matosa discovered that sugar cane was profitable, but sugar extraction is a labor-intensive industry, so he planned to buy a large number of slaves from Africa and enter the plantation to expand production capacity. As a result, the Chinese pirates were catching up with the sea and robbing all the peers.

Merchants, merchants never return; pirates, pirates never return; warships, warships never return.

They sent more than [-] fleets and went there for more than [-] times. A total of three ships came back, and more than half of the slaves who were brought back were not dead.

Finally found some iron ore, his left hand was busy fighting with the aborigines, and his right hand was busy looking for Chen Mu to negotiate a deal... It wasn't that he wanted to sell Chen Mu, but that there was no safer buyer besides Chen Mu. Helping the Portuguese dare not even go home, the Han pirates ran around on the route, and they disappeared when they were seen.

There were a lot of armed merchant ships in Brazil, but the slave trade made them give away the best ships, and there were quite a lot of new ships left, but they had no guns.

How can you beat Yang Ce who has more boats, guns and people than them without guns?

Then, the king was so full that he went south to fight Africa in order to become the first Catholic king to conquer North Africa.

If you fight in Africa, you can fight, if you lose, you lose. In the end, the king who conquered himself died, isn't it uncomfortable?
Hundreds of nobles became captives of the Moors, and in the end the king had no heir, leaving behind a mess.

Now King Philip of Spain sent someone to send a message asking them to accept him as king... This is not a bad thing in the eyes of Brazilian Governor Matosa.

He knew that even the pirate leader Yang Ce, who was running across the Atlantic Ocean, would not dare to provoke the Spanish fleet. Knowing that the king would send the fleet to visit here regularly every year, they would have a chance to communicate with each other.

But at the same time, it also means that it is necessary to disassociate itself from Daming's Eastern Military Government.

In the shadow of a famous tree, Matosa did not dare to talk about these things with Chen Mu. Zhao Shizhen of the Dongyang Military Mansion sent someone to look for him before. After the death of their king, Zhao Shizhen told him that if Brazil wants to be independent, The Ming army could protect him from the threat from Spain.

The problem is that none of the nobles and businessmen in Brazil think Spain is a threat.

The people on the border beat their lives to death, so what do they do?They were as close as a family to the Spanish nobility.

So Matosa decided to leave Brazil's problems to Philip and Chen Mu to solve, and he will not appear in the middle.

But... On February [-]rd of the ninth year of Wanli, the guards stationed at the harbor came to report that they saw large ships with bright sails lined up on the sea, sailing to the south by wind and waves.

South is the direction of Rio.

　Good morning!
