The data of Baiminghe is really amazing, but no one doubts.

Bai Minghe also said: "The area of ​​available arable land here is about 8.8 million hectares, and it is worth the amount of it that can be opened. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people have been transported from the Ming Dynasty, and it is good to be able to be opened for one million hectares of land."

"Sir, you must have calculated it wrong." Wang Cheng said with a smile: "One hectare, one hundred acres, hundreds of thousands of people, each with two hundred acres of land. Can you plant it even if you give it to them? But this place is pretty good and can become a natural base outside the Ming Dynasty. Just the 500 million acres of natural herbs you mentioned, this benefit can drive merchants crazy."

"Let me think about it. There are almost no people in the north and northwest. Let's stop for two days. Arrange the crew to take turns to get off the boat and rest. Let's talk about the matter here. It's impossible to immigrate a large number of people. There is another place I need population, so this is just a temporary port, let the merchants discuss how much benefits these herbs have on the basis of peace!"

Baiminghe did not plan to start a war, but this place was still a semi-primitive society and he was unwilling to become an invader.

But, what to do, how to talk about?

This place was one of the poorest countries in the world in later generations. Although there were a large amount of herbs exported, the profit was not large. There were abundant mineral deposits and not much was mined. The rest of the agriculture, in the current Ming Dynasty, farming there was also planting, so why bother planting here?

More importantly, the tribes here have not yet been civilized, so is it worth investing here in Ming Dynasty?

Moreover, this island is not necessary. It is enough to have a port in the west as a supply port. Whether the small slave country in the southeast should contact us is also considering whether it is necessary to contact us.

Bai Minghe had just got off the boat, and Wang Yuyan was by his side.

Wang Yuyan could understand the hesitation of the Baiming Hero. This land was extremely beneficial to occupying it. However, the education of Confucianism did not allow the Ming people to become robbers. I thought that the eunuchs of the Three Treasures had never captured it, and they had not established half a colony. This is the idea that represents the inherent thought of the Ming Dynasty.

With Bai Minghe's side, Wang Yuyan didn't know what she should say.

If it is a pure transaction, the Ming fleet here has already docked on a coastline of hundreds of miles in front and behind. However, no one has been found to live here, so why can't such a homeless place be occupied?

Thinking of this, Wang Yuyan said to Bai Minghe: "Husband, why can't you occupy a place without a master?"

"There is no master?" Bai Minghe asked back and said, "There are still some barbarians in the southeast of this island."

"Is this theirs also theirs? I'm afraid they don't know that there is still a large area of ​​land here. Our Ming Dynasty will also define national boundaries with other small states. What about here? Their borders are there, and our Ming Dynasty has never pointed to the Western Regions and said that those unowned grasslands are their own."

Baiminghe believes it makes sense. You can take up a piece here first.

I really meet all ethnic groups on this island in the future, so it will not be too late to talk about it.

But in fact, it seems that God is also pushing the Ming Dynasty to expand outward. As soon as Bai Minghe entered the tent and sat down, Wang Cheng came to report: "Sir, I discovered some interesting things. We encountered a fleet, and there were about eight ships. We are sure that they came from the same place as Pedru."

"God's will!" Bai Minghe sighed.

I have to take possession of it. If I don’t take possession of these places, I will belong to the Europeans.

"Encircle, no direct shooting unless you resist!" Bai Minghe ordered. Wang Cheng immediately sent a telegram.

The Ming Dynasty fleet could not all dock, and there were not enough coasts to dock here. The originally arranged fleets disembarked in turn and rested here for two days. You can also study whether the land and plants on this island have enough value. Who would have thought that the ships patrolling outside discovered that there was a fleet of fleets just after stopping.

No matter who it is, you can't let you run away as long as you see it.

This is the standard that the Ming Navy has always thought was implemented. Because when you see the Ming fleet, you either come over and report the name, take out the pass warrant, and check it out and leave. If there is any problem, then it is the work that the army needs to do next.

Here, in order to protect the large fleet, the Ming Navy naturally would not let go of any fleet that dared to approach. No matter who it is, give in first.

The patrol ship is a four hundred materials, three-sailed fast ship, streamlined. It is not for combat, but for speed, with only six cannons on the left and right. It is enough to be able to defend itself. Their task is not to fight, but to work like a scout of the army.

Six boats faced eight boats.

The flag language was typed out, using the standard Ming Dynasty flag language, and using the European flag language that was interrogated from Pedru.

"Salt? They only have six ships, which country is from." The captain of the flagship asked the first mate around him. The first mate was also observing. They did not have a telescope yet, and they all depended on their eyesight. After careful observation for a while, he replied: "The shape of this ship is very strange, with Spanish style, Portuguese style, and Byzantine style. This main body is not like there."

"Rise the sail and prepare for the battle!" The captain didn't hesitate.

On the sea, there is no saying of pirates in this era, or that anyone who goes out to sea is both a merchant ship and a pirate. Therefore, the title of pirate has not been listed separately.

Several Portuguese ships' gun doors opened and all the sails were raised.

"Head, they want to fight!" the sailor in charge of observation shouted. "Let's fight too!"

"Fuck!" After cursing, the young general who led the team cursed, he also observed the other party seriously: "They have more guns than us. There are almost 200 guns in eight ships, and we only have six ships. Fight. Send the order and go around behind them and don't let them escape. Call people! Hit him a damn."

It sounds like the attitude of ordinary people in the market, but it is indeed nothing wrong to call people.

The main fleet in the rear received a telegram: The enemy attack...

The enemy attacked, if Bai Minghe saw this telegram, he would be laughed at. But the vanguard fleet didn't see it like that. Liu Mingxuan's flagship moved and sent a telegram at the same time: One, three or two brigades attacked. No matter who dared to attack the Ming Navy, if they did not surrender, they would all be sunk.

Liu Mingxuan has five brigades under his command, each with thirty-six boats.

This was the first foreign battle at sea. It was nothing wrong to be more conservative, so Liu Mingxuan directly transferred two brigades.

On the sea, the Portuguese looked at the Ming ship not only without attacking, but bypassed them and headed towards the downwind. Most of the people on the ship smiled: "Do these people know about sea battles? They actually went to the downwind, ready to fight, and see what treasures they had on their ships." The people on the Portuguese ship shouted and ran towards their positions.

The power of the telegram once again gave the Ming Navy the initiative.

The fire was already firing here, and the team was constantly changing its formation, but it didn't fire a single shot. At this distance, it was a waste of shells. The opponent's artillery fire had been fired for several rounds, and even half of the distance had not flown. If the Ming Dynasty fired, it could barely fly to the opponent's ship, but its lethality was limited.

"Head, they sent flags and asked me to lower my sails!"

"Ignore them, I will step on their faces later and talk about who will give them a sail."

Sailing means surrender, and this is the same everywhere.

About half an hour later, Liu Mingxuan led his team to the battlefield. He brought seventy-two ships, his flagship and frigate, a total of seventy-eight ships.

These ships are not patrolling boats.

The 2,500-property giant ships must not be placed on a horizontal line compared to those small broken ships in Portugal.

There was no need to fire the gun, and the speed was almost twice that of the Portuguese sailboat. In the blink of an eye, eight Portuguese ships surrounded the Portuguese. The gun door was opened, and each ship had at least twenty-four guns on one side, and at most thirty-six guns. This power alone made the Portuguese weak.

"Salt down!" the flag verb came over.

To resist, these ships have far exceeded their ships in terms of their size, volume, artillery fire, and speed. What else can they resist? It is impossible to escape. They can't escape this speed at all, let alone the encirclement has been formed.

Sail down and surrender.

If you can't kneel, you will learn to kneel if you interrupt your kneel. No matter you are a noble or a sailor, there is no word "arrogance" in front of the Ming Navy. If the Ming Dynasty recognizes you as a noble, you will be stepping on it all under your feet.

Pedru was brought out again, and he had become numb these days.

He was so numb that he almost forgot that he was still alive. These ships were walking westward. After seeing the ship, Pedru understood one thing that this fleet must pass through his hometown. As for issues such as the restoration of Byzantine, he had never considered it. He was a soldier and an adventurer.

Of course, he is also a semi-qualified robber.

So he understood that such a huge fleet, especially the well-equipped warship, was definitely not for tourism. The Byzantines' actions of this fleet were just an excuse. They could conquer everything and ignore all enemies. This was the real overlord of the sea.

What a ridiculous title that the Pope authorized the Portugal's maritime overlord.

Kneeling in front of Bai Minghe, Pedru had already learned the kneeling etiquette very well. This has to be praised by his Japanese teacher. In terms of kneeling etiquette, he even surpassed the Ming people's understanding of the kneeling etiquette. This kneeling even has strict requirements on the position of his finger, which represents inner respect.

"There is something that's interesting. Someone attacked my ship today." Bai Minghe spoke.
