    In the sea area of ??Xiamen, two two-masted wooden boats stopped quietly in the wind and rain. The rain was like a thread, and the sight was blurred.  At this time, the wind and waves were not strong, and the boat heaved gently with the waves in the sea. The fine rain wet the deck, which was as wet as oil.

    Several navy generals were wearing coir raincoats and stood quietly at the bow of the boat. The rainwater hit the coir raincoats and made a rustling sound, and drops of raindrops condensed and rolled down, but they still stood still, as if they were paying attention to something.

    Two sloops approached in the rain and fog. A navy general waved his hand, and his ship sailed out. The other side also had a sailboat coming up, three hundred feet, two hundred feet, one hundred feet  , the two ships approached, and when the sides of the two ships collided, each other's hulls shook slightly, and then the sailors on both sides quickly threw hooks and grabbed the other's ship.

    The two boats that were united and divided again moved closer together, and the two pedals were passed from the two boats to each other at the same time.  The soldiers took the plank and quickly tied it to the side of the ship, while looking at each other curiously and carefully.  Different hair, different appearance, but you can feel the identity of a fighter on the other side.

    It was the first time for them to look at their opponents so closely and peacefully. Jia Qingyou hurried over. The shipping businessman inadvertently acted as a witness of a major historical event, even though he was so reluctant.

    The generals of the Ming army boarded the ship. Out of safety considerations, the Portuguese side conducted the first negotiation on the Portuguese ship.  They took off their coir raincoats, revealing a bright and neat suit of armor, with a narrow-edged sword under their ribs, and boarded the Portuguese ship as if nothing had happened.  Their calm expressions and steady movements dispelled the nervousness of the Portuguese soldiers. The musketeers standing under the tarpaulins on both sides of the ship loosened their clenched hands, and the muzzles of their guns quietly dropped.

    "This is General Han Wu, the admiral of the Fujian Navy of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Zheng Junran, the chief envoy of Fujian, Mr. Tang Xingyun, the envoy of the Fujian Sea Road, and Mr. Peng Xiaoqiu, a thousand households of the Zhejiang Navy."

    The Portuguese leader on the opposite side responded one by one with the Chinese etiquette he had just learned. Jia Qingyou's nervousness gradually calmed down, and he continued: "My lords, this is General Sander, Colonel of the Royal Navy of France, Miguel  Priest, this is the representative of Captain Pedro who is doing business in Luzon, his assistant, Mr. Valente, er and the handsome Japanese warrior with pig's claws."

    The blade-like gazes of several Ming army generals focused on the 'handsome' face of Zhuzhua. The handsome Zhuzhua habitually grabbed the wet warrior's bun and tried to put on an expression of indifference. Han Wu contemptuously  With a gentle smile, he turned his head and bowed to Sander and said, "The emissary and his party are really diverse. The eight of us meet on this sea, and it feels a bit like 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea'."

    A few Portuguese people don¡¯t understand what Eight Immortals are crossing the sea, Zhu Zhuo handsome understood it, he couldn¡¯t help grinning, but all the people didn¡¯t look at him, Zhu Zhu laughed twice, feeling bored, and then  Hold back embarrassingly.

    Jia Qingyou had a rough command of Portuguese, so communication was not a problem. He spoke a few words to Sander in his stuttering Portuguese, and then said to Han Wu: "General Sander invites you and your lords to enter the cabin."

    Sander also made a gesture of extending his hand to invite. Han Wu nodded and walked to the cabin first. Peng Xiaoqiu shook his muscular body.  The handsome pig's paw brushed past between his chest and abdomen, and at the same time gave him a provocative glance.

    The handsome pig's claw roared in pain, and he took two steps back. He was furious, twisted his face and grabbed the long handle of the samurai sword in a hurry.  kill.

    Priest Miguel pressed the back of his hand and shook his head slightly. At this moment, Peng Xiaoqi and others had already stepped into the cabin. The handsome pig's claw pushed the knife into the sheath resentfully, gritted his teeth and followed the three Westerners into the cabin.  He is short and strong, standing behind can only see the back of the person in front, so he will not conflict with Peng Xiaoqiu again.

    After the two sides exchanged a few words, Sander said straight to the point: "We come from the distant Kingdom of Portugal, and we have no intention of offending the Ming court. Mancijia is a small kingdom of barbarians. They have been annexed by us, but as a territory of the Kingdom of Portugal  , we respect the supremacy of the Ming Dynasty in the East, and are willing to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty on this matter."

    Han Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "General Sander, I really want to know what your country wants to negotiate with us? Mancijia is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. It pays tribute and accepts the protection of the Ming army. Now you have invaded Mancijia.  His Excellency King Suduanmamo, the Sultan of Assassination, has asked His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to send troops to aid in the restoration of the country, so we should safeguard the interests of our own kingdom, shouldn't we?"

    Priest Miguel smiled and said: "Your Excellency, the king of our country very much hopes to establish a good cooperative relationship with the greatest empire in the East. Our seaOnce the 10th sea traffic artery is controlled by others, it will have an impact on Daming.

    It is obvious that the Frangji people are ambitious. If their existence is officially recognized, the navy of Daming can only circle around the inner sea, and the outside will become the territory of the Flangji navy.

    Peng Xiaoqiu said in a low voice: "Hey guys, look, which one of these ghosts is a good thing? Can you believe what they say? Land, land, I think back when my father ruled Mount Putuo  Whoever wants to surrender must lead people and boats to join him. Just beheading chicken heads, drinking blood wine, and raising the banner of my Peng family are considered members of my Peng family? Yaya bah, when  Is the old man an idiot?"

    Han Wu glared at him, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense again, you are now a general of the imperial court! Don't say it, I have my own ideas."

    He thought for a while, and smiled at Sander and the others: "Very well, I am also willing to believe in your sincerity, and I don't want to fight with you, but this is a big matter, and I can't make the decision. Your Excellency Governor  Now that Gulangyu is waiting, could you please send your emissary to report back to General Ezeger and His Excellency Bishop Ramario, and ask them to come forward and discuss the details with our lord?"

    Sander, Miguel and others whispered a few words, and Miguel hesitated: "It's not that we can't trust Your Excellency the General, but General Ezeger is the commander of the Manchurian garrison, and Bishop Ramario is the special envoy of His Majesty the King.  How do you  keep them safe?"

    Han Wu said calmly: "The four of us can stay on the noble envoy's ship as hostages. There is an old saying in our place, that is, if two countries fight their troops, if the envoy is not beheaded, let alone we have never met in battle."

    "However," he glanced at the handsome pig's claw, and said indifferently: "Their people don't want to make fun of themselves. We know that they are serving you, but they are not qualified to negotiate!"

    Five nautical miles behind the two wooden sailboats, a large number of warships gathered on each side just in case.  Sander and the others immediately sent another ship to ask for instructions from Commander Ezege and Archbishop Ramario.  He believed that the Ming army would not do this, not to mention that the Ming army had left four senior officials as hostages, so he readily agreed.

    Han Wu understood the two warships on his side, and when the Frang machine ship carried Aizeg and others to the center line, they took the Portuguese warship and sailed towards the Frang machine fleet.  The sailboat escorted Ezege and others to the Ming army fleet.

    Gulangyu is located in the southwest of Xiamen Island. It was called Yuanshazhou in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was renamed Gulangyu in this dynasty.  The oval-shaped island is not big, but the hills and hills on the island are undulating and the scenery is pleasant.  The highest peak, Longtoushan, faces Xiamen's Hutoushan across the bank. There is a saying that there is a dragon and a tiger guarding Xiamen.

    The rain has stopped, the air is fresh and humid, and all kinds of seabirds appear above the beach, flying and singing happily.  Yang Ling stood on the beach in the southwestern corner of the island, his cloak fluttered like a flag in the sea breeze.  Not far from him are two stacked rocks, which have been eroded by sea water for many years, forming a vertical hole in the middle. When the tide is high, the waves hit the rocks and make a sound like a drum, which is called "drum wave" by fishermen.  Stone", this is also the reason why Gulangyu Island was renamed from Yuanshazhou.

    After the rain, there was a brilliant rainbow in the sky, like a colorful bridge between the clear water and blue sky. At this time, several warships gradually sailed from the end of the rainbow that gradually faded on the sea.
