Goa, bitten by the Portuguese, was finally conquered by which country?

151kloc-0/October, Albuquerque, the second Portuguese Indian governor, had a new plan.

In the previous battle against Kallikat, the Portuguese suffered a crushing defeat and Albuquerque was seriously injured. However, the newly recovered governor felt it necessary to fight a tough battle to win back the dignity and honor for Portugal. His goal is goa.

The city of Goa is located on the west coast of India, built on the island of Goa between two big rivers. Because of its important geographical location, it has always been the focus of attention of all parties. Among them, Bijabur, the Muslim kingdom that now rules Goa-Albuquerque, aims to seize the city from Muslims.

In order to achieve his goal, he also contacted an Indian pirate named Dimoji. Because Dimochi was very familiar with the local situation, he became an ally of the Portuguese. Albuquerque soon formed a huge fleet, more than 20 warships, 1000 Portuguese soldiers, including 3000 slave laborers.

15 10 At the end of February, the Portuguese fleet quietly arrived outside Goa. Because the defenders in the city didn't expect to be attacked at all, they fled immediately after seeing the Portuguese, and Albuquerque occupied the city with little loss.

The Portuguese easily grabbed a big piece of fat, but the original ruler was not happy.

Albuquerque

King adil of Bijabur Kingdom had to fight against the Indian maharaja in the south because he suppressed the domestic rebellion. But a month after the Portuguese occupied Goa, King adil not only successfully suppressed the domestic rebellion, but also reached a peace agreement with the Indians in the south.

Now, King adil can deal with the Portuguese wholeheartedly. Albuquerque knew that the enemy would retaliate soon, but his own strength was not strong, so he should seize the time to reinforce the Yugoslav capital.

Just as the Portuguese were preparing for the war day and night, Parud Khan, the general under King adil, led the army and killed the other side of Goa. The Portuguese looked at the endless tents on the other side and were very scared-the rainy season was coming, and the enemy was likely to trap them in Goa.

The walls of Goa have not been completely restored. When people in the city saw that the original ruler was killed, they began to sneak away and join the Islamic army. When the rainy season comes, the Portuguese will not be able to escape by boat, which will be in trouble.

Almost all Portuguese people want to retreat temporarily, but Albuquerque, the "grumpy governor", is unwilling. He wants to defend the city. In front of the enemy negotiators, Albuquerque stubbornly replied: "The Portuguese will never let go of what they bite."

At first, King adil didn't want to fight the Portuguese. As long as Albuquerque is willing to leave, everything is negotiable. But now, we must fight.

The Portuguese trapped in the city not only have to face the constant harassment of the enemy, but also start to save food-after all, when the rainy season comes, the whole city can't get any assistance. Albuquerque was questioned by everyone. He completely ignored his complaints and insisted on not putting down the fat in his mouth.

When people in Goa were in a state of panic and serious disagreement, the rainy season began slowly.

Albuquerque's flagship "Flower of the Sea"

One night in mid-May, Islamic soldiers launched a surprise attack and broke the Portuguese's external defense. At this time, Albuquerque could only lead his men to stick to the inner city castle. However, they soon found out that King adil himself came to the front with a bigger team.

This time, Albuquerque was also afraid. He learned from the negotiators that King adil wanted to block the river, burn Portuguese ships and trap them here. If this is the case, there is no hope.

Albuquerque finally decided to withdraw from Goa.

Before leaving, Albuquerque ordered the pirate Dimoche to kill the Muslims in the city, regardless of gender, age and age. In addition, destroy artillery and other munitions, kill all horses, and don't let the enemy get them. Dimochi didn't completely obey orders. He left some young women behind and took them away.

On the night of May 3 1, the Portuguese poured out and rushed to the dock to board the boat quickly. Not many pursuers, they easily left the dock and retreated to the estuary.

However, the rainy season has arrived, and when the Portuguese arrived at the estuary, they found that the storm was so fierce that they could not go out to sea at all, so they could only float in the middle of the river.

King adil's troops immediately set up artillery positions on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, deployed a large number of troops, and stared at Portuguese warships intensely. Now, Albuquerque is not only surrounded by pursuers, but also unable to go to sea because of the bad weather, and the situation is very embarrassing.

His nobles and officials kept accusing Albuquerque. The Portuguese also tried to leave the estuary, but the wind and waves smashed a warship and everyone had to wait for the rainy season to pass.

So, the most difficult time came.

The Portuguese not only have to face the bad weather, but also face the constant attack from the artillery position of King adil. Although it is not strong, the artillery attacks all day, making them afraid to go on deck.

Albuquerque resolutely refused to negotiate and blew away a group of envoys. This made his men very angry, because the longer they were trapped on the ship, the greater the loss. Moreover, they encountered a food crisis and soon reduced their daily rations, and most people were starving.

In June, the weather suddenly improved for more than ten days. The crew are afraid to rush out to sea, fearing that bad weather may come at any time. Now, they face another problem, which is water shortage. Because at the mouth of the sea, the river is too salty to drink, and there is no rainstorm and no rain-the soldiers are dying of thirst.

In desperation, the Portuguese had to take the risk of launching a surprise attack and retrieve dozens of barrels of water from the shore. Although many people were injured, they finally survived the next heavy rain.

Pirate Dimochi is familiar with the terrain and will take people ashore to collect some food at night, but the quantity is too small and useless. Sailors began to catch mice on the boat and even boiled leather to fill their stomachs. Because there was no hope, people began to sneak away and surrender to King adil on the shore.

Albuquerque persisted and even rebelled in the fleet. After being trapped for more than two months, the Portuguese fleet, which was almost completely annihilated, finally waited for good weather. They set sail quickly and left Goa.

"What the Portuguese bite, they will never let go"-Albuquerque didn't say it casually. Only three months later, he led a fleet back to Goa.

This time, the Portuguese continued to kill. In Albuquerque's report to the King of Portugal, he wrote: "We estimate that the number of Muslim men and women killed is 6,000. Your Majesty, this is a great cause. "

Finally, the Portuguese regained this fat. In the Indian Ocean hegemony, the Portuguese were established by killing again and again.
