"From now on, I, Daming, will officially take over this place!"

In July of the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, as the Portuguese heraldic flag slowly fell, a blue flag with an embroidered sun and moon pattern rose in its place at the Governor's Palace in Goa. Goa, the Portuguese

The first colony occupied by Asia changed hands and was officially owned by the Ming Dynasty.

Not only that, Diu, Daman, Ceylon and other Portuguese-occupied colonies were all officially taken over by the Ming Dynasty, and together with Goa, they became the first overseas bases of the Ming Dynasty.

Although in theory, the handover of Goa will have to wait until the "Treaty of Manchuria" is signed by the bosses of both parties, both Wang Bing and Kong Deda know that the treaty is just an afterthought, an afterthought.

Just give it to Conde to be used as a basis for communication to the Portuguese court!

Therefore, due to the disproportionate strength of the Ming Dynasty and the Portuguese, Goa was taken over by Wang Bing on behalf of the Ming Dynasty.

…

Goa, which the Ming Dynasty called Guli, is a natural port on the west coast of Tianzhu. However, because there has never been a political power that truly unified the entire Tianzhu in history, and coupled with a farming civilization like the Han people, Goa is a natural port.

It was very unattractive to the rulers of various dynasties in Tianzhu.

Therefore, before the arrival of the Ming fleet led by Zheng He in the third year of Yongle, Goa, which was ruled by several sultanates, was just an unknown small port in Tianzhu, and no Tianzhu people discovered its value.

But as the Ming Dynasty stopped its ocean-going fleet, Goa, which prospered with the arrival of the Great Front Fleet, soon fell silent again. It was not until the arrival of the Portuguese Vasco da Gama in the eleventh year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty that the city fell silent.

The value of the small port was once again discovered and it became a transit point for navigation and trade.

It's just that unlike the Ming Dynasty's fleet, which brought trade and wealth, this time the Portuguese brought religious oppression, killing and colonial aggression.

For Portuguese and other European merchants, Goa, located in the middle of Tianzhu's west coast, could not only provide supplies for long voyages, but also use it to extend the trade network deep into the interior of Tianzhu. It was an ideal base.

Therefore, not long after, the Portuguese decided to occupy this place for a long time.

From the fifth year of Zhengde to the seventh year of Zhengde, the Portuguese fleet defeated the Guri Kingdom that ruled Goa and completely captured Goa, which became the center of Portuguese rule and naval base in the Indian Ocean.

Afterwards, using Goa as their base, the Portuguese captured Diu on the northwest coast of Tianzhu in the twelfth year of Jiajing, further controlling overseas trade on the west coast of Tianzhu.

After that, the Portuguese continued to advance eastward, and then occupied the central part of the east coast of Tianzhu, as well as Ceylon and Malacca and other Southeast Asian regions across the sea from Tianzhu. If the previously rented Haojing is added, the Portuguese

Its sphere of influence spans almost all of South Asia and East Asia.

This situation, if not for the emergence of the ‘variable’ Wang Bing, would have lasted until hundreds of years later.

But now, as the sun and moon flag representing the Ming Dynasty rises, all the previous efforts of the Portuguese have come to nothing and they have made wedding clothes for the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, due to the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, they also avoided the fate of being snatched by the British and the Dutch in turns in these territories in Tianzhu.

"From now on, Goa will be renamed Guri!"

Finally, with the order of Wang Bing, the general manager of the conquest of the barbarians, Goa, which was called Goa by the Portuguese for nearly a hundred years, finally returned to its original name!

…

"Your Excellency the Marquis, please be kind to the people we have left in Goa..."

After the handover ceremony was completed, Kong Deda, who had a look of emotion on his face, looked at the crowd around him and saluted Wang Bing with a sincere expression.

Unlike other colonies that it occupied in Asia, Guri is Portugal's most important overseas possession and the headquarters of the entire Asian colony. It even enjoys the same status and privileges as Lisbon.

In addition, they have been encouraging the Portuguese to intermarry with local women, settle in Guri, and become farmers, traders, and craftsmen. Therefore, Guri has a considerable Portuguese and mixed-race population.

But now that Guri and other Portuguese colonies have all been taken over by the Ming Dynasty, it is obviously unrealistic to withdraw all these people to Portugal. So naturally, they can only become the new subjects of the Ming Dynasty.

However, due to the massacre carried out by the Spaniards against the Han people in Manila, Conde was very worried that the Portuguese and those mixed-race people who stayed here would also fall to that point.

Therefore, I made a request to Wang Bing in advance.

"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Governor, our Ming Dynasty has a broad mind and is not comparable to those narrow-minded Spaniards. Whether they are Tianzhu people or the people you stay here, as long as they abide by the laws of my Ming Dynasty from today on, then they will be my Ming Dynasty's

People..."

"Moreover, aren't these new people a bond that strengthens the friendship between our two countries? So Mr. Governor doesn't have to worry about them being specifically targeted, hahahaha!"

Wang Bing readily agreed to the last request of Conde, the last Portuguese governor of Goa.

…

"General Qi, the King of Guli, 'Keyili Zamorin', came to ask for an audience. Moreover, they also brought the canonization edict and seal of Emperor Chengzu..."

Just a few days after Conde and the other Portuguese left Goa, the current King of Guri, 'Keyili', came to visit him personally.

"Haha, I didn't expect that after so many years, you would still preserve the canonization edict and seal given by Emperor Chengzu so well!"

After Zhu Changluo, the crown prince, personally appraised the authenticity of the canonization edict and the silver seal in front of him, Wang Bing couldn't help but sigh.

It turns out that in the third year of Yongle, after Zheng He first sailed to the West and came to Guli, the then King of Guli sent tribute envoys carrying gems, gold belts, coral beads, etc. to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

, Under the "reciprocity of courtesy", during his second voyage to the West in the fifth year of Yongle, Zheng He brought the canonization edict and silver seal from Emperor Chengzu to the Zamorin family of King Guli, and established the "Go to China" here.

, more than 100,000 miles away; the people's goods are salty, and they are roaring in the wind; stones are carved here to show for eternity, and the stone stele pavilion is used as a memorial.

It was also after this canonization that Guli State officially became one of the overseas vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

"This is a gift from the Great Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. Naturally, the Xiaowang family must keep it properly..."???.

I have to say that this Tianzhu man's bragging and spanking skills are really good. Wang Bing just praised him politely. The King of Guli named "Ke Yili" was actually able to use this to talk flattery and show off for a quarter of an hour.

Words of loyalty.

"Haha, I am naturally aware of the monarch's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. I wonder why the monarch is here today?"

Wang Bing, who was already drowsy after being filmed by Ke Yili's gorgeous flattery, finally had no choice but to take advantage of the pause in the middle to interrupt and get straight to the point.

"Uh, well, Xiao Wang is here to ask the Honorable Marquis whether the Ming Dynasty still regards Guli as a vassal state of the Celestial Dynasty..."

After being interrupted by Wang Bing, Ke Yili finally stammered and asked something that made Wang Bing a little confused.
