The Battle of Tamao was a naval battle when the Ming Dynasty Imperial Navy defeated a Portuguese navy led by Simão de Andrade in 1521.
Causes
Simão de Andrade had been kidnapping Chinese children to sell in Malacca[citation needed], and ignored Chinese sovereign authority at Tamao, building a fort. The Chinese responded by blockading the Portuguese. The Portuguese would have starved if they had not run the blockade.
The Battle
Simão de Andrade's fleet was defeated by the Chinese navy, which emboldened the Chinese to take further military action the following year, at the Second Battle of Tamao (1522) against Martim Afonso de Mello.[1][2]
