Chapter 591： Pick a soft persimmon

"No, our warships must stay with merchant ships to protect their safety."

Bao Shunan's attitude is also very determined.

With so many priceless goods, they were driven on someone else's territory without protection by force. He was really worried that the other party would meet Cai's intentions.

If these goods were robbed or the merchants on the ship were killed, he would not have enough heads to chop him back.

"If this is the case, then we do not allow you to enter the port to call."

The Spanish messenger was also very tough.

"No entry is allowed. If we are not allowed to enter, we will go in and let these people know how good we are."

Bao Shun'an's deputy was angry. It is outrageous that he came here to do business and was rejected.

They are majestic, but they have never stopped foreign merchant ships.

The negotiations between the two sides fell to death for a while, and no one would give in.

Some emotional UOB Navy has already clamored to hit Spain and directly capture the Spanish king.

This is just talking about it, and Bao Shunan must not dare to do so.

No matter how superior their warships are, they are arrogant at sea.

Once on the shore, the final competition is still the number of people.

Even the cooks in their fleet took up weapons, and the number of professional soldiers was only 1,500.

The Spanish army has at least 150,000 troops.

Moreover, the weapons of the Spanish army are not much worse than those of Dahua, and they also use flintlocks.

If you really dare to attack a big country alone by relying on a fleet dominated by merchant ships, it would really be a brain drain.

Bao Shunan became entangled, and negotiations with Spain also fell into a deadlock.

In desperation, he could only convene some important figures to discuss countermeasures.

"Captain, how about we go to Ceuta in the south."

Euroton Elios said that he is a Portuguese, because the fleet was in danger at sea, and the ship was destroyed and killed. He and a few people floated to the mainland to live.

Then, each found a job.

Elios acted as a guide and consultant for Dahua fleets, because he was familiar with Europe.

Because of his familiarity with Europe, Bao Shunan treats him very seriously.

He mixed well in Dahua's fleet, and Elios became more active.

"To be specific."

Bao Shunan asked.

"Ceuta, just four or five miles south of us, is also an important strategic stronghold on the Strait of Gibraltar, facing Gibraltar across the sea.

Above, there are also more prosperous trade markets. Most importantly, Ceuta is now in the hands of the Portuguese. Our Portugal's national strength is much weaker than Spain, and perhaps their attitude will not be so determined.

In case they refuse, they can also fight directly. Compared to playing Spain, playing Portugal is a better choice. "

When Elios taught Bao Shunan to attack his country, he spoke extremely smoothly, without a trace of embarrassment on his face, which surprised Bao Shunan and others.

However, this is not the point, the point is that Elios offers a slightly better solution.

"But, we are here to do business with Europeans. Ceuta is from Africa, right? Who do we sell our things to?"

An adjutant with a bad geography asked.

"Although Ceuta is in Africa, it is close to Europe. There is no need to worry about this. Europe has been coveting Dahua's goods for a long time. As long as we move the goods to Ceuta, and then go to the opposite Gibraltar to release the news, there will be countless Merchants rushed over to buy.

If not, we can still occupy Ceuta and send one ship at a time to Gibraltar to unload the cargo. In this way, if you get robbed, you don’t have to worry about being robbed all at once. "

Elios said.

After synthesizing the opinions of everyone, Bao Shunan was ready to adopt Ellis's suggestion.

The persimmon is soft, this is the global code of conduct.

Spain is currently stronger, so Gibraltar is Spain's, Portugal had to grab a Ceuta from Morocco.

In the later generations, the stronger Britain grabbed Gibraltar, then Spain could only go to Portugal to grab Ceuta, and then Portugal went to the weaker South America to take up some place...

Bao Shunan and the others are afraid to fight Spain, so...

The fleet turned around and headed towards Ceuta.

Outside the port of Ceuta, it was naturally intercepted by the Portuguese garrison.

After learning about Bao Shunan's demands, they also refused.

The Portuguese are not sure whether Bao Shunan and others are here to do business, or in the name of doing business, in fact they are here to grab the site.

Let them come close, and suddenly attacked and killed all the coastal defense artillery. What should I do?

This is an irreconcilable contradiction. After all, neither party can completely trust the other party and dare not give their seven inches to the other's hands.

"Hmph, if you don't allow us to enter the port, then we will break in forcibly."

Bao Shunan said angrily.

He was in Dahua, when did he experience this kind of bird air?

No matter which country it is, Dahua's name has to be called Daddy.

Now, they just want to find a port to call and are ignored, it is simply undermining the prestige of Dahua.

Bao Shunan, who suffocated his stomach, naturally didn't want to hold it anymore.

If you can't agree, then there is only one fight.

"Dare you, this is our Portuguese territory. If you dare to break in by force, it is an invasion."

The Portuguese said nervously, they were actually afraid.

After all, with their little strength in Ceuta, they really couldn't compete with Dahua's fleet.

Although the mainland is also close to here, if you want to support here, that will be the future. Ceuta will definitely be destroyed.

"You go back and convey my ultimatum, give you half an hour to consider your answer, and if you don't agree, we will forcibly go ashore."

After speaking, Bao Shunan began to command the others: "The steam engine starts to boil water, and the others are prepared for first-level combat and are ready to fight."

The Portuguese ambassador hurriedly returned to Ceuta and told Ceuta Governor Paric of Bao Shun'an's warning.

This made Palic half to death, and only a fleet of ships dared to yell at himself.

My country is less than 50 miles away from Ceuta.

If you take a boat, it's the effort of a meal.

He couldn't figure out Bao Shunan's confidence, anyway, he would never accept such a threat, that would humiliate Portugal.

If this is done, it will be easier for other countries in Europe to see their Portuguese paper tigers.

When the time comes, there will probably be more people coming to grab their Portuguese territory.

So, in any case, Paric also needs to keep Ceuta and keep their Portuguese face.

As a result, Paric also refused directly without hesitation, and then began arranging the defense of the port. He wanted to see what arrogant capital the fleet from the East had.
