In the 26th year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, early March.

Macau, and the nearby Guanzha Quotation Field, the former parish has been firmly controlled by Zhu Hetong!

Shang Kexi originally set up a battalion of troops in Qianshan Village near Guanzhaqiu Field, but in order to send troops to Jieyang, he took the time to send troops to the front mountain village, leaving only less than a hundred people, and could not resist the offensive of Jinyi's personal army led by Lin Ahu.

After Lin Ahu took over the Qianshan Village, the land passage from Xiangshan County to Macau Island and Guanzhaqiufang was completely blocked.

So Zhu Heting was able to calm down and sort out the government affairs in Macau and the Jinyi personal army stationed in Macau.

Macau's government affairs are very complicated. They cannot be too indulged or too stuck. Too indulged is prone to chaos. Foreign merchants and Catholic groups here in Macau are very powerful. Among them, foreign merchants have citizen meetings and have been governing Macau with the Governor of Macau who represented the Portuguese royal power.

There are more Catholic groups. In addition to a religious college, a cathedral, and a main church, as many as a dozen religious orders have set up branches or offices in Macau.

It is no exaggeration to say that Macau is both a country of merchants and a city of religion.

Today, Zhu Hetong needs to maintain the openness and prosperity of Macau, and he also needs to engage in equal trade with European colonists.

His perfume, sugar, rum, Foshan ironware and porcelain also produced in Chaozhou all need to be exported through the channels of Western merchants.

So Zhu Hetong adopted a strategy of pressure and pulling against these foreign merchants. The so-called pressure means temporarily controlling departure. Now you are just not allowed to leave. After a while, the situation is stable, and you may use other methods to retain people. For example, let them pay a fine and then let them pay taxes for their beliefs

The so-called La is of course to support the Belo family, who is close to the Yanping Palace, as the first merchant of the Portuguese Macau and mixed-race Portuguese.

He asked Bei Jiaxin, the eldest daughter of the Bei family, to be his Latin teacher, one because he was studious; the other because he really liked the beautiful female teacher, of course, to build a bridge between himself and the Beilo family.

As for the religious forces in Macau, Zhu Hetong mainly focuses on suppression!

The reason is very simple, these charlatans are so rich!

Zhu and the emperor have frozen their property worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and they are mainly cash silver!

How could Zhu Hetong give up such a huge fortune? And he couldn't give up because he scored a sum to Qiu Hui and Qiu Rong! The rest had to pay the officials and soldiers below, especially the expansion of Jinyi's personal army was about to be expanded, and there were holes for spending money everywhere.

So Zhu and Kao are now like those monarchs who are making Protestant Reformation in Europe, and it is impossible for them to be friends with the Catholic Church again.

However, Zhu Hetong was still willing to win over the priest who was willing to surrender to Xu Guangqi's second place. Therefore, not only did Luo Wenzao be appointed as the bishop of Macau, but he also made him the general manager of Macau's maritime market and was in charge of Macau's civil affairs with Bello.

In addition to foreign merchants and priests, Macau actually has a third force, which is mercenaries, including Portuguese soldiers, mixed-race Portuguese soldiers, Japanese mercenaries, black slave soldiers, etc. If black slave soldiers are included, the total number is about 2,000. Some were killed or injured in the previous battle, and more than 200 people ran away with Luo Dongni. Some were "purged" and some were not killed, but disarmed, and then placed in the former mountain village. In the end, there were still 1,200 people left, all of which were left to Aoi Andong to take care of.

Although Aoi Andong's position changed a little quickly, he looked very good and looked dignified. He didn't look like a Japanese man, and he was a pure oriental man.

Therefore, in the original Macau mercenary system, Zhu Hetong has promoted these eastern holes to oppress white and mixed-race white mercenaries.

Of course, the status of black mercenaries is still very stable and firmly entrenched at the bottom!

Among all the Eastern mercenaries, Aoi Andong's attitude is the best and he surrenders the fastest.

And after discovering that Zhu Heying was not able to use people enough, he immediately sent his daughter Aoi Seiwu to the fortress to be his personal maid for Zhu Heying.

With this relationship, Andong Aoi was naturally valued and became Zhu Hetian's "first army" and led all the Macao army.

While rectifying the treasure land of Macau, Zhu Heying also began to recruit strong men from the Guanzha Grand Quotation Field to join the Jinyi Personal Army, but he did not recruit too many people at once, only recruited more than 1,800 people. The twenty leaders brought him to Macau were expanded to each of them, and the entire army was expanded to three thousand.

The reason why he recruited so few was because he was worried that it would be difficult to digest if he had made a big move. After all, his team had just opened, and it had expanded from one or two hundred young soldiers to three thousand soldiers within a few months, which was already very radical. Those young soldiers needed time to adapt, and the young soldiers had insufficient experience, so they could not let them take care of the old soldiers from the beginning, and they had to let the young men take care of the young men. When the young men accumulated some experience and established some prestige, it would be fine to let them take care of the adults.

Therefore, the first batch of soldiers Zhu Hetong recruited from the Guanzha Quotation Field were all poor boys aged 16 or 17.

In order to quickly make these three thousand young men of Jinyi's personal soldiers form an army, Zhu Heyan also ordered Andong Aoi to pick a group of Cantonese mercenaries to go down and be instructors.

Everything is done step by step, and it looks very good.

However, on the morning of March 8, Zhu Heying had finished a lot of official duties and was thinking about going to Zhaobei to ask for advice on Latin, Lin Ahu, who was responsible for managing the Guanzhada Grand Quarantine, suddenly came and arrived at the Macau Castle, and brought something unexpected to Zhu Heying.

"What? Blight?"

"Criminal Master, Guanzhaqiu has suffered diarrhea. More than two thousand people can't afford diarrhea, and some people have sent troops one after another!"

Diuretics is dysentery, which can easily erupt in places where people gather, sanitary conditions are poor, and drinking water is contaminated!

And the Guanzhada Grand Deal Field seems to be such a place that is prone to breeding epidemics!

"Criminal Master, if you really make a big splash, it would be awesome!"

"That's right, Prince, there are tens of thousands of people in the Guanzhada Grand Quarantine Field. If they fall ill, what should we do?"

"The prince must block the court to spread the disease to Macau Island!"

"You must be careful in the clerk in front of the prince!"

Military advisor Zhuge, Master Guo, Luo Wenzao, and Daboling, who were in charge, received the news, and they all arrived at Zhu Heying's study at the first time and began to give Zhu Heying a lot of advice.

They said it was a trick, but they didn't have any tricks, and even the idea was a bit bad.

Zhu Hetong was confident that he might not be able to deal with other epidemics, but this diarrhea disease really couldn't help him.

Moreover, this epidemic was not only not a crisis, but even a god-given opportunity!

Because Zhu Hetong happened to know a method of extraction of antibiotics that can treat dysentery and common diarrhea. This antibiotic is allicin!

As a senior perfume expert, Zhu Heyan is very proficient in extracting various spice essences, including extracting garlic essences! Because he once tried to produce a "garlic-flavored" perfume!

That's right, it's the "garlic bone" smell! People who have never dried this industry can't imagine that the distance between perfume and the kitchen is so close to the chili, pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaves can all be used to process perfume, and of course garlic can be used!

Although the perfume with the "garlic bone" flavor became a joke in the end, Zhu Hetian still mastered several methods of extracting allicin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and three of them can be extracted using tools from the 17th century!
