Phillips, the Portuguese Governor in Colombo, stood on the head of Colombo, and his face was not happy because of the arrival of his allies, because he knew that this ally was actually here to accept Colombo. And his position as the Governor of Colombo will become history.

"Governor General, it's time to go and greet him." However, his entourage leader reminded him, "For the sake of the friendship between the two countries, we should not be slow, otherwise, the Governor General would be criticized after returning to the country."

After hearing this, Phillips couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and forced a smile and said, "The Ming Empire is really big, this move is a big deal. If so many warships come to our Portugal, then there are those natives and those Dutch people, what's wrong with it!"

After saying that, he went down the city tower to go to the port to greet him.

When the leader of the follower saw it, he waved his hand immediately, signaling that everyone else would quickly join the governor to greet him, and at the same time chased behind Phillips, and said with a smile: "This is not the case! After the Ming army accepted Colombo this time, they would definitely teach those indigenous and Dutch a lesson!"

He said this in Phillips' tone, because he knew that the Governor was unhappy.

Unexpectedly, Phillips did not accept his affection. His tone changed, and he said with a gloating feeling: "That may not be possible. Rajsinghe II is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even if the Ming army came, it would have to occupy the entire Ceylon. Haha, even if it could occupy it, it would probably take more than ten or twenty years to drag down the Kandy Kingdom to succeed. Maybe those natives would disobey the slander again, haha, it would be a headache!"

The leader of the follower understood that the Governor said this, but it was actually well-founded.

Before, every time their Portuguese army was dominant, the minions or allies would rebel and take a blow. In short, the natives here were very treacherous, either huddled in the mountains, jumped behind, or rebelled directly. Anyway, all kinds of things were happening one after another, and I don’t know how many Portuguese people had killed.

What's more, there are still Dutch people now. Under the threat of the powerful strength of the Ming army, the relationship between the indigenous people and the Dutch people who had broken down before must be able to bridge to a certain extent and work together to deal with the Ming army. However, the Ming army has just arrived and is not familiar with the place. Who can know who will die in the end?

At this time, Phillips brought me a difficult life, just because you were not happy, and brought his subordinates to the port to welcome the Ming fleet into the port.

On the flagship of the Ming Fleet, there was a blond and blue-eyed man, Johnson, the leader of the Haojingao Council, who was ordered to accompany the Ming Fleet. Because Anders was in the capital, the focus was on coordinating the Ming Fleet to America, so he did not come.

After getting off the flagship, Johnson smiled and signaled Phillips with a smile to greet him, and introduced to the Ming official wearing a big red robe: "This is Phillips, the Governor of Florence in Colombo."

After hearing this, Phillips took off his hat and gave a gift, smiling, but he was thinking in his heart, it was obvious that all the people wearing such official robes in the country were senior officials?

Just as he was thinking, Johnson introduced again: "This is the Governor of Damingdongwu and the Governor of the Western Navy, Lord Yan Yingyuan Yan..."

Speaking of this, Johnson added and emphasized: "It was the arrow god who shot the sword Xiang Dingdongwu with one arrow back then!"

Hearing this, Phillips was shocked and quickly looked up and down.

Colombo is not too far from Togo after all. Togo changed its dynasty and became a province of the Ming Empire. This matter is big enough. Of course, he has heard of it and has also known it.

Yan Yingyuan's performance in that battle was even more deified through the word-of-mouth of the people of Dongwu. It can be said that Yan Yingyuan's reputation as the Arrow God is very famous around Dongwu.

Although it is the age of firearms, on the battlefield, such arrow skills are not comparable to those of firearms. Therefore, when Phillips looked at Yan Yingyuan again, the feeling changed. After all, there may not be such a person in the whole of Portugal.

Although he reluctantly gave Colombo to Mingguo as Catherine's dowry, his attitude changed a lot at this time, and he immediately communicated with Yan Yingyuan enthusiastically.

Yan Yingyuan did not act like a senior official in the country, but just had a polite social engagement with Phillips. First of all, a pressing question was asked by Johnson: "Governor General, don't you know where the Ming army is stationed? Can there be any place to arrange it?"

When Phillips heard this, he turned to look at the huge Ming fleet, and ships of soldiers were lined up to get off the ship. He estimated that even if there were fewer, there would definitely be more than 20,000 yuan.

Suddenly, he had two big heads. Even if all the people inside were moved out, he could not accommodate so many people.

However, people did not pass by, but came to accept Colombo. Even if they could not make arrangements, they had to make arrangements, unless he patted his butt and left. Then how did Ming Jun arrange it? It was Ming Jun's own business.

However, it would be a little too urgent to ask him to leave now! Even though the Clippers had already come to inform him before, he did not expect the Ming fleet to come so quickly, and he had not announced the sorting of things before he left. He was busy snatching more things!

Before Phillips could think of how to answer, Yan Yingyuan followed: "There was an agreement in the previous notice that our army would complete the handover within one day after arrival. However, I think it's really a bit nervous to see that one day is so two days, okay?"

If the Portuguese army had already packed up after receiving the notice, then the Ming army would hand over as soon as it arrived, and they would move in and leave at the same time. One day would be enough. After all, there were only one or two thousand people here in Portugal.

However, when Yan Yingyuan came ashore just now, he saw at a glance that near the city gate, a group of Portuguese and their servants hugged the indigenous people in a corner. Looking at that, you can know what was going on. Just this, how could it be the kind of person who was ready to wait for the handover?

After a pause, Yan Yingyuan said again: "In the past two days, I have asked my subordinates to stay in the generals on the warship, but I have to send some troops into the city to get familiar with the situation. How about it?"

This is a reasonable request, and I am considerate of the Portuguese, and made concessions and gave them two days.

After hearing this, Johnson nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I think that's what I can do!"

He said that, but Phillips was unhappy. He always felt like he was snatched away by others. This feeling, especially in colonists like them, was even more sensitive.

But what can he say? You can't say that I didn't grab enough things. You can wait first and ask me to send more people out to grab them?

If he really wants to blame, he can only blame Joao IV for giving Colombo to his princess’ dowry? Or blame Portugal for not being strong enough, not for Ming Dynasty to give it to Portugal but for Portugal!

There was no choice but to agree in the end.

Yan Yingyuan knew that he would definitely not feel happy, so he did not bother him. He politely declined Phillips' invitation to enter the city and lived on the flagship. However, he had instructed the Mumbai general Li Dingguo who was with the ship to lead the troops ashore, while the Navy general Zheng Chenggong stayed on the ship to arrange defense.

As the agreement between the leaders of both sides began to be implemented, Colombo suddenly became in chaos. The Portuguese didn't care about anything else and rushed into the city to pack up their own things, or to pack up some other people's or public things for themselves. This is unknown.

In contrast, the Ming army was very conspicuous. I saw that the Ming army who came ashore not only had a strict military appearance, but also had a queue of walking, so I could walk and stop.

…………

At night, in the Governor's Mansion, Phillips was drinking depressedly. Johnson walked into the room and saw him like this, he sat down next to him, poured a glass of wine and drank it with him.

Johnson's purpose of coming with the Ming fleet was to assist in completing the handover between Colombo and Mumbai. He knew that Phillips was in a bad mood, so he came to talk to him and relieve his worries.

Johnson can understand Phillips's current mood. After all, when Phillips was at its most powerful position, he not only took charge of Ceylon, but also the entire Far East, including Malacca, Annan and Ho Jingao. But now, even the governor is not properly prepared and he has to roll the bed and leave.

The room was a little quiet, with only the sound of pouring wine, drinking, and the sound of wine glasses colliding. I don’t know when, I suddenly heard Phillips sneering, “So what if he is an arrow god, this Colombo cannot be occupied by casually!”

When Johnson heard this, he looked up at him and saw that the old face was blushing under the candlelight, obviously drinking a lot of wine.

This is venting, and it is also a good thing, so Johnson casually echoed.

However, he did not expect that Phillips heard his perfunctory and immediately said with dissatisfaction: "Why, don't believe it? So what if he brought so many troops? It took us hundreds of years to occupy a small area. Now there are more Dutch people. Do you believe it or not, the Dutch will definitely join forces with the indigenous people to deal with the Ming army. Tell me, which of them is a fuel-efficient lamp?"

"Yes, yes, they are not fuel-efficient, but this has nothing to do with us, right?" Johnson heard it and coaxed him a little against his will. After all, the two countries are allies, and if the Allies are defeated, it will somewhat affect Portugal.
