Malacca, Famosa Castle.

This is the first castle built by the Portuguese after seizing Malacca and the largest castle. A tall fortress was built in front of the castle, which is as solid as a god.

Since losing Haojing in the Ming Dynasty, the obese Galenel has been here for too often and his life has been quite comfortable. But when he learned that the Ming Dynasty fleet was coming, this comfort was naturally broken.

"I have said a long time ago that this damn Ming official cannot believe it! He is just a liar, a liar!" When Galenel heard the news, he was eating steak with a fork, and seemed to be angry and fell down the knife and fork and scolded angrily.

road.

In fact, he never had a good impression of Lin Weiran.

If this person had not appeared, he would have already managed Haojing well. Where would the Ming Dynasty take the taxes there? Where would he let the Ming Dynasty pinch the neck of the golden route to Japan?

But he hated him, facing the attack of powerful enemies, he gradually calmed down and immediately mobilized his troops to defend. While preparing to send personnel to Aguo City, India to bring reinforcements, he also gave way to hundreds of people stationed here.

The famous soldiers were ready.

"Here you come!"

On the tall fort, a soldier put down his telescope and pointed at the sea in the east and said solemnly.

"Damn it!"

Galenel knew that unlike the countries in the South China Sea, the Ming Dynasty was a real superpower. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to seize this place, even if the slow army of India's Ago City arrived, it would be difficult to defend this territory.

The most important thing is that once this place is really captured by the Ming army, Portugal will not only lose the golden route of "Malacca-Ming-Japan", but also the spices from Southeast Asia.

As soon as he thought of this, he secretly called Lin Xuran a "madman". This was obviously an excellent business cooperation relationship, and the good relationship just established was of great benefit to both parties, but this stupid Ming official wanted to destroy it.

Huh?

Surprisingly, the one that appeared in sight was not the large-scale Ming fleet, but the merchant ship with the United Trading Company, with only a three-masted gunship.

Although the three-masted gunship has not weak combat power, it will be used to invade the Famosa Castle, even Galenell will not believe it.

Galenel was a cautious person. He did not let go of his guard, but instead welcomed Shen Liuye, the representative of the United Trading Company, into the Famosa Castle with caution.

"Mr. Galenell, I want to talk to you about a big deal! You can send a personal inspection of the spices on my merchant ship. According to the price we agreed on, it is exactly 600,000 taels!" Mr. Shen Liu was in the living room.

Sit down and immediately said straight to the point.

Galenel was originally thinking about exploring the real purpose of Mr. Shen Liu. When he heard this amount, he stared at him and asked in surprise: "What? Six hundred thousand taels of spice?"

Among the previous batch of spices, they made a lot of money and knew the amazing profits contained in the spice trade. If the other party really owns spices worth 600,000 taels, this is undoubtedly another gold mine.

Mr. Shen Liu glanced at him lightly, raised his chin proudly and said, "Mr. Galenell, I have told you a long time ago that our joint business group is the most powerful business group! You have silver in South America.

How many, even if we are going toward our Ming Dynasty!”

Galenel said yes, and turned around and sent someone to check to confirm that the ship warehouse was really full of high-quality spices.

Most of this batch of spices came from San Petro Castle in Spain, while part of them was traded by Shen Liuye and others with the countries and tribes of the South China Sea. All of them were high-quality pepper spices.

Of course, this is not all the spices obtained from the trip to Southeast Asia. Lin Weiran intends to make the joint business group appear lower-key and only takes out this large number of them for trade.

Galenel's pride disappeared and said embarrassedly: "I... can only take out 300,000 taels of silver here, and the remaining 300,000 taels, can... be... late? ”

"Do you want to force me to sell half and give it away? Mr. Galenell, this time I followed Lord Lin's fleet and happened to pass through Malacca, so I traded with you here! If you dare to do robbery, I believe Lord Lin will not sit idly!” Mr. Shen Liu's face suddenly changed color, and he said with a stern look.

Galenel knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained: "Mr. Chen, I don't want to force a buy or sell, but I can only collect 300,000 taels here, and I can't get so much silver at once. !If...you ask me to transport the spices back to the Western Trade, and when I come back, I will give you another 350,000 taels, how about it?"

This is the truth. Although Famosa Castle is solid, it is naturally impossible to foolishly place a large amount of wealth here. He was able to take out 300,000 taels at once, but he was planning to go to the Ming Dynasty and Japan in the near future. Procurement fees, and there are several collaborators here.

"We have always done business with a clearance of goods and silver, and we don't have any credit! If you can only take out 300,000 taels, then we will give you 300,000 taels of spices!" Mr. Shen's face was slightly slower. He said lightly.

People are inevitably greedy, and Galenell is no exception. He seemed to have made a great determination and immediately made a decision and said, "I am willing to mortgage Malacca, how about it?"

Huh?

Master Shen Liu looked up unexpectedly, but he didn't expect that Galenel was so persistent in eating this batch of spices alone, and he didn't expect that he wanted to ignore the interests of the country.

"I am willing to make an loan note with you in the name of Gabidanmo, but you have to keep this matter confidential for me!" Galenel made up his mind and said seriously.

In the last spice trade, although he also participated in eating the batch of spices worth 300,000, most of the profits flowed into the pockets of the Governor of Portugal and India. This time, if he could eat this large number of spices alone, his strength would be It will undoubtedly go to a higher level, and even have enough ability to compete for the position of Governor of Portugal and India in the future.

Mr. Shen did not nod immediately, but said sincerely: "I can't take the initiative in this matter! But Lord Lin is in Johor now, and I can help you ask for his opinions! If Lord Lin thinks there is no problem, Then we will do this, how about it?"

"Officiale Shen, I'm working hard!" Galenel bowed excitedly.

At this moment, the Ming fleet had arrived in the Johor country located in the eastern part of the Malay Peninsula.
