Why did Portugal come to invade the Ming Dynasty, which was thousands of miles away?

The purpose of the Portuguese occupation of Macao was different from that of occupying land in South America, where the purpose of occupying land was to colonize, plunder local raw materials, and occupy the local market. The main purpose of Portugal's occupation of Macao was to obtain a piece of land as a transit point for the East.

Portugal and Spain were the first to open up new shipping routes, carry out early colonization abroad, and develop their own commerce. In the mid-16th century, the Portuguese reached the southeastern part of China along the sea. In 1553, the Portuguese were allowed to temporarily reside in the Macao Peninsula by bribing Ming officials to "borrow land to dry water-soaked goods".

Within a few years, the Portuguese settled in villages and set up their own officials, establishing what they call the earliest stronghold in the Far East.

Dizzy. Confused with the history of recent humiliation, right? Portugal first thought that the Ming Dynasty was as backward as the South Asian countries, and went directly to Guangzhou to fight, but the result was a great defeat for the Ming Dynasty's naval division.

Later, the Portuguese prayed with the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Emperor allowed it. This made the Portuguese Empire the richest country in Europe. A shipload of arms from Lisbon to Oban, Kobe.

Sold to the Japanese, in exchange for silver, in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing to exchange silver for porcelain, silk, after returning to Lisbon, the huge profits directly multiplied dozens of times. Also, in the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many Portuguese troops in the Ming army.

Youth is a beautiful poem.

Immature and ignorant, but full of expectations.

You sing a song, and your blood is surging.

We danced a hip-hop dance, and the melody shook the sky.

Wonderful **, a confession of true love.

Bursts of applause drowned out the shy girl.

Together, together".

All the classmates shouted loudly for them.

It was not so much the occupation, but the Ming Dynasty did not look down on the desolation of Macao, so it leased Macau to Portugal by collecting rent, after all, Portugal lost to the Ming Dynasty at that time, and Portugal maintained the same lease relationship with the Qing Dynasty after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

The Portuguese occupation of Macau was a long process. In the beginning, the Portuguese came to the sea near the coast, and they were to occupy a piece of land on a lend-lease basis to dry their belongings. Then our country rented it to him, and did not care.

But then they occupied more and more area, and gradually occupied the whole of Macau.

Not an occupation, it can only be counted as rental. The ban on the sea cut off the economic road of the coastal residents, and they united with the Japanese to form a war against the imperial court, and the Ming ** agreed to Portugal to borrow land in order to suppress them, and during this period it was necessary to pay taxes for rent.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese asked to live in Macao on the grounds that they had encountered a storm at sea and went ashore to dry their goods, and later gradually expanded their territory, built houses, and occupied Macao.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese landed in Macao for various reasons, bribed the local ** with heavy money, carried out ** in Macao, and gradually expanded the territory to build houses.

The Portuguese landed in Macao, and when the Macanese saw them coming from afar, they welcomed them very much, but the Portuguese actually took advantage of the night to kill them and occupy Macao.

The Portuguese in the Ming Dynasty is called the real 'lease', the Ming Dynasty is the landlord, the Portuguese are tenants, every year the Portuguese pay the 'rent', and during the Ming Dynasty, the sovereignty of Macao has been in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty still stationed there to collect taxes; But if you look at the Manchu period, it was called 'lease', but have you ever seen a tenant who never paid rent, but instead had to collect rent from the landlord?

The corrupt Ming Dynasty gave the grapes a chance to oppress people, and the local petty officials received black money, and the Portuguese knew that giving money to solve the problem After a long time, the Ming recognized to a certain extent [In fact, the money given by the Portuguese] was more than the money that the Ming received in Omen.
