澳门开埠之初(1564-1580)葡萄牙人对三次中国海盗活动的应对与处理

Portuguese Responses to Chinese Pirates' Riots in the Early Period of the Founding of Macao(1564-1580)

葡萄牙人居留澳门伊始,正值广东地区海盗匪情风起云涌之时。葡萄牙人出于诸多因素的考虑,往往主动协助明廷剿灭沿海剧盗。本文就澳门开埠以来葡萄牙人分别在嘉、隆、万三朝剿灭三股海盗势力(1564年柘林叛兵、1568-1569年曾一本、1580年林道乾)的几次事件开展研究,通过论述葡萄牙人对以上三次中国海盗活动的应对与处理,可以看出葡萄牙人的剿匪行动除了保障自身安全之外,还应当遵循了葡人一以贯之的通过讨好明廷以获得长期居留权的政策导向。

Macao became a settlement of the Portuguese, at a time when Guang-dong was suffering from rampant pirate attacks. Out of various considerations, the Por-tuguese settlers used to help the Ming Court to defeat pirates. This article describes the Portuguese settlersv defeat of Chinese pirates （ Zhelin rebels in 1564, the rebellion of Zeng Yiben in 1568 -69 and the rebellion of Lin Daoqian in 1580） during the reigns of Emperor Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli of the Ming dynasty. Based on analysis of Portu-guese settlers^responses and management of these three incidents, we can conclude that the Portuguese were not just concerned about their own security, they also followed a consistent policy that sought to obtain long term residency in Macao by pleasing the Ming Court.
