The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

This group of foreigners is precisely the important target that Southeast Mansion is eyeing!

In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi chose Dengzhou (Penglai) to establish an artillery battalion armed with Western firearms, hired Portuguese transmission technology and equipped with Hongyi cannons, and became the most well-equipped army in the Ming Dynasty.

Dengzhou became the center of Chinese firearm casting exercises. Artillery experts, Silao and Lu Ruohan of the Portuguese Gongsha arrived in Dengzhou to engage in artillery manufacturing and training techniques. In June 1631, there were 53 Portuguese artillery and craftsmen. Artillery artisans escorted a group of western artillery from Guangzhou to Dengzhou. These Westerners became the first Western military technicians to be hired in the Ming Dynasty. (Not counted in Southeastern Mansion)

One of the main reasons why he was willing to serve for the Ming Dynasty was that Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were faithful, and the Portuguese believed them. These two Han people believed in Xiaoye, and Xu Guangqi’s Catholic name was Paul. He used his identity to pierce the needle. Contact foreigners in many ways and work for Daming.

The Silao and Portuguese in Gongsha are familiar with Zhang Shouyun, and Gein Zhang Shouyun also speaks Portuguese. He often invites them to eat and drink, which makes them deeply moved!

Moving?

I am really moved, because they are red hair fans!

You know, the Chinese are conservative and think that the peculiar Hong Maofan is a ghost from the Yin Cao Jifu, and even think that the people who come into contact with the Hong Maofan are called "the ghosts". .

These red hairpins teach artillery and are responsible for artillery making, but the civilians and even the military generally dislike them. They still work, and outside of work, almost no one cares about these red hairpins.

However, Zhang Shouyun knew that the Southeast Mansion liked to introduce foreigners, so he had no psychological burden when interacting with the Hong Mao Fans, but the Hong Mao Fans were deeply moved.

During the Dengzhou Rebellion, Zhang Shouyun urged Xilao of Gongsha to lead the foreigners into the Dengzhou Shuicheng with the police, and after he made the vote of the governor’s Yamen, he returned to do the work of the foreigners and told They said: "The governor Sun who hired you loses Dengzhou this time and will be in big trouble!"

He told them the consequences of Sun Yuanhua's loss to Dengzhou, saying that it would be impossible for Sun Yuanhua to stay in Dengzhou, and it would be impossible for foreigners to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty.

Others, who are not church members, would not believe and reuse them. Now Sun Yuanhua is going to the Southeast Mansion, and they can also go to the Southeast Mansion to serve, and the treatment is the same as that given by the Ming Dynasty.

In Dengzhou, the treatment of foreign experts was good. The Ming government promised to pay the leader of the Gongsha Silao a salary of 150 taels per year, plus an additional 15 taels per month, while the rest would pay 100 taels per year. Another 10 taels of food money a month, this condition is quite superior. At that time, the Ming Dynasty Guardsmen only had 10 shi per month for six grades and 100 household officials, which was equivalent to about 20 taels of silver, while the average soldier only had about 4 taels of taels per month (actually, officers and soldiers often couldn’t get it. This money is not even collected, so there are a lot of deserters in the guards)

Zhang Shouyun is now bidding for foreign experts on behalf of the Southeast Mansion, knowing the reason and moving with affection, declaring that the Southeast Mansion is unwilling to welcome foreign experts. The current Dutch and British are working for Governor Yan, and even occupy high positions. When you go, you will be like a fish in the water, and there will be no discomfort at all!

The working environment is good, the income is good, how is it, the heart is worse than the action, let's go to the Southeast Mansion together!

After collective discussion, these foreign gunners finally collectively defected to the Southeast Mansion!

...

Zhang Shouyun, together with Sun Yuanhua, foreign artillery experts, and a thousand musketeers returned to the Southeast Mansion. On the Kaohsiung Military Port, Yan Changwu personally picked up the ship!

What he said is very tacky, but the sincere enthusiasm can be felt: "I have Governor Sun, like a drought and rain!"

"Supervisor Yan, the governor doesn't need to be mentioned anymore. Now I am just under the shelter of the Southeast Mansion, hoping to do something!" Sun Yuanhua's posture was very low-key, even a little frustrated.

Anyone who saw the battleships and many warships in the naval port had no choice but to bow down, especially Sun Yuanhua. He wanted to introduce foreign artillery experts with the support of the imperial court to try to provide advanced weapons to Ming. He also did some things. Work, but compared with Southeast Mansion, it is really a heaven and a place!

Daming is even more prosperous, but the ocean power of Southeast Mansion is far above that of Daming, it's incredible!

People were arranged to accompany the guests, and the guests were invited to rest first. Then Yan Changwu listened to Zhang Shouyun's report. After looking at a few people, he smiled and said: "Good job!"

Yan Changwu was very excited. Only he knew the meaning of killing Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, and Li Jiucheng!

If there is no intervention, these guys will defect to Huangtaiji with the Dengzhou navy and the most elite firearms troops of the Ming Dynasty trained by foreign experts, so as to make up for the two important shortcomings of Houjin, so that Ming and Ho King's balance of military power has changed a lot.

The significance is so great that Huang Taiji greeted them personally, and in the future, Jin’s most solemn etiquette is to welcome them. Huang Taiji was so happy that he was really sleeping and brought a pillow.

Later Jin will be able to make Red Barbarians cannons, rendering the Ming Dynasty Jiancheng useless!

After the establishment of the Golden Navy, Phi Island’s containment power will also be ineffective. Even if it is due to the suppression of the Southeast Fleet, the latter will not be aggressive, but at least how will the Golden Navy train the Navy in case they occupy the country. , How about the power of the whole country to deal with Southeast Mansion?

All forces that can threaten oneself should be eliminated.

In addition, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi were respectively named King Gongshun, King Huaishun and King Zhishun by the Later Jin Dynasty. They were also kings of Sanshun. They became pawns against the Ming Dynasty and brought serious disasters to the land of China.

Even if they haven't surrendered to Houjin now, they are rebellious and everyone is punishable. (This kid forgets that he is the big thief)

Get rid of them, hey, let's celebrate.

He was rewarded for his merits, and Zhang Shouyun was awarded the official doctor (third-class baron) and the gold medal for meritorious service ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and his musketeers were also highly rewarded.

A banquet was held to entertain Sun Yuanhua and other foreigners. The senior military and political officials of the Southeast Government accompanied him. During the banquet, Yan Changwu frequently persuaded him to drink. The mood was high and happy. Everyone could see it.

Chen Zhongji introduced the military and economic construction achievements of the Southeast Mansion to the guests, which made Sun Yuanhua and Zhuyang people admire them!

This young warlord, who came to power at the age of fifteen, has achieved such a great achievement in just a few years, and he has been overwhelmingly in the South China Sea, and even foresees the Dengzhou Rebellion. It is really the reincarnation of the son of God.

"We have a gun factory in the southeast prefecture. We make guns. We are not bragging. We did a good job!" Yan Changwu said.

Sun Yuanhua nodded. He has seen the flintlock guns, shotguns and pistols of the Southeast Army. The craftsmanship is first-rate. In fact, the flintlock guns were invented long ago, and the promotion has not been ideal. They are not needed in Europe. They are sent to the East for use. I did not expect to concentrate their efforts on solving problems and improve the technology. The flintlocks manufactured are quite good, far surpassing European technology.

"However, our artillery is still not good. I believe that with the arrival of Mrs. Sun and gentlemen, we will not be a problem!" Yan Changwu said his expectations.
