Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 769 Daming's Aid

Two to three years is also the goal Liu Hongjian set for himself and Daming. He needs at least two years to deal with the enemies in Nanyang.

The latest news brought by Jin Yiwei, the ruler of the Netherlands, Prince of Orange, and Earl of Nassau William II was furious when he learned of the Nanyang War, and vowed to make Ming pay the price.

The Dutch East India Company pays a huge amount of taxes to the government every year, and the two governors died successively at the hands of the Ming Beiyang Navy, which shamed the shareholders of the Dutch East India Company and the Dutch subjects.

The Dutch have considered themselves invincible since they defeated the Armada of Little Franz. Most of the members of the parliament and even ordinary people are shareholders of the East India Company.

This unprecedentedly large and wealthy multinational company is actually closely connected with the Dutch rulers, parliamentarians and people. The death of the two governors has aroused the enthusiasm of the Dutch people, and the war may not be far away.

The next day, Liu Hongjian took Aragorn to visit the Shahe Camp of the Imperial Guard as scheduled.

Because Liu Hongjian did not inform Li Huaizhong in advance, when the group arrived at the camp, the soldiers were still undergoing daily routine training. The neat formation, excellent swords, and muskets dazzled Aragorn and his men.

In particular, the cavalry of Ming Dynasty made Aragorn envious, because Merriga had no horses, or even any livestock for riding. Most of their tribesmen did not die from firearms, but from the swords of cavalry. The desire for war horses even exceeds that for firearms.

"You guys, show my guests the power of grenades!" Liu Hongjian greeted the throwers who were training.

"Yes, my lord, should I use the training ammunition or..." the hundred household officer asked for instructions.

"Nonsense, of course we have to use real ones!" Liu Hongjian said bluntly.

"Okay! My lord, please wait~!" The hundred household officials were also very excited when they got the exact order. The subordinates have not touched a real guy for more than half a month. It is exciting to train with iron bumps every day.

After a while, two soldiers brought a box of grenades, and the hundred household officials took the lead in throwing the grenades far into the bunker in the camp.

Boom—boom boom—several dull bangs resounded through the camp, and the sand and stones in the bunker flew far away, and Aragorn and his subordinates were stunned.

Due to the long distance between Merica and Europa, the latest type of throwing firearms in Franji has not been widely equipped among Franji soldiers in the Inca territory. Aragon has never seen such a magical firearm.

Compared with muskets with complex loading, firearms such as grenades are more suitable for mountain warfare. Aragorn and his subordinates are well aware of the magical effects of these firearms, and their eyes instantly became hot.

"If the contract is signed smoothly, the Ming court will provide assistance to the Incas, including but not limited to muskets, cannons and grenades." Liu Hongjian said calmly.

And unlike the Chahar Khanate, this aid is free, and it is the first investment of Ming Dynasty in Melika.

Liu Hongjian was not worried that the firearms technology would be stolen by the Incas. The primer technology had already made a breakthrough, and Ming's firearms were about to usher in a new round of innovation. With the current technology level of the Incas, who didn't even have perfect smelting technology, they couldn't do it at all.

As for the Frenchman and Dutchman Liu Hongjian who are also in Meriga, he is not afraid. The grenade has been learned and gradually equipped by the Europeans.

To maintain the leading position of a big country, technological secrecy is one thing, and speeding up scientific research is another, and Liu Hongjian believes that the latter is more important.

As long as the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty keep updating their technology and the Ordnance Institute continues to develop more sophisticated weapons and equipment, the army of the Ming Dynasty will always be proud of the world.

"In addition, Xishan Shanghe will provide one hundred thousand shi of rice and grain to your clan every year in the name of the company." Liu Hongjian thought for a while.

In the name of Xishan Shanghe, it was just a temporary idea. If there is trade with the Melika people in the future, how can we miss Xishan Shanghe during this period? This favor is not so much a burden as an investment.

"Aragorn thanked Lord Daming for his kindness on behalf of the Incas, and we will remember this kindness!" After calculating the amount of one hundred thousand stones, Aragorn and his clan saluted Liu Hongjian deeply.

When Atahualpa was killed by the Frangians, there were tens of thousands of people in the royal family of the Inca Empire and its tribesmen, but after a hundred years of siege and war, there were only more than 1 people left.

The declining royal clan had no choice but to retreat into the Amazon jungle to make a living by hunting.

The harsher living conditions have greatly reduced the lifespan of the tribe's warriors. Now the whole tribe is only more than 3000, and there are even fewer warriors who can go to the battlefield. One hundred thousand shi of food is enough for them for a long time.

"Aragorn, what are you talking about?" Liu Hongjian asked suspiciously when he saw an Inca murmuring something to Aragorn. Aragorn frowned and reprimanded him.

"No, Daming has helped us a lot, we can't make any more requests." Aragorn glared at the subordinate, and said apologetically.

"Hehe, let's talk about it, within my ability, I hope that Merika will become the world of the yellow race." Liu Hongjian joked, regardless of whether Aragorn understood or not.

"They hope that Daming can give some horses to the people..." Aragorn said shyly.

"It's a small matter, it's just that the terrain where your tribe is located is not suitable for Mongolian army horses. In this way, this king will find a way to find a batch of Yunnan horses for you!"

Although the Dian horse is a short-footed horse, it has stable endurance and is especially suitable for mountain roads and dangerous roads. It is the most important means of transportation on the ancient tea-horse road.

The Inca royal tribe had only a thousand soldiers in total, and three hundred Dian horses were enough, which was nothing more than a little effort for Ming.

"Tomorrow, the king will go to see His Majesty the Ming Emperor to discuss this matter. If things go well, maybe people from the Ministry of Rites will look for you in the afternoon. You should prepare the letter." On the way back, Liu Hongjian said to Aragorn.

In fact, Liu Hongjian almost grasped foreign affairs, Zhu Cihong seldom interfered at all, and Liu Hongjian had a tacit understanding with the courtiers. Unless there was a big deviation in the national policy, Liu Hongjian rarely intervened in the court. Things.

However, what Liu Hongjian did not expect was that Zhu Cihong had a negative opinion on this matter.

"Liu Qing, since Merriga has already been occupied by the Europas, why should we help the weak royal tribe? Wouldn't it be better to send troops to occupy that land directly?"

Zhu Cihong has a burning desire to expand the territory, and he doesn't understand why Liu Hongjian behaves like this.

"Your Majesty, let me ask you, if you send troops to Merika, can you order the Indians in the entire continent to be killed?"

He didn't talk too much with Zhu Cihong about the great principles of the Chinese nation's thousand-year reputation, but said it bluntly.

"This..." Zhu Cihong was silent.

He himself was steeped in Confucianism, and the extermination of the whole clan has never been liked by the ruler of success. After all, this is to be written into the history books. There is no emperor in all dynasties who does not care about his own reputation.

"If we can't destroy a civilization, the only thing we can do is to cooperate with it to achieve a win-win situation. Your Majesty, this is good for both parties."

When a tribe has civilization, it forms a nation. Unless it has cultural identity, it will rise up against oppression sooner or later. Instead of falling into endless counter-insurgency, it is better to deal with it gently.

The reason why Europa was split into so many small countries during the two world wars was because of ethnic issues, and the reason why China was able to achieve the ultimate unification was due to the cultural identity of Confucianism.

Moreover, with today's technological conditions and communication level, Daming simply does not have the ability to rule the territory on the other side of the Pacific Ocean for a long time, that is too far away.

Nanyang is almost the limit of Ming Dynasty. Since the split is a matter of time, why bother to enter the muddy waters of colonization.

"Well, according to Liu Qing's wishes, I will issue an order to the Ministry of Rites after I accept it." Zhu Cihuang thought for a while, and finally compromised.

"I heard that the Netherlands intends to attack our Ming Dynasty, Liu Qing, are you sure to deal with it?" After all, Merriga is too far away from Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Cihong is more worried about the inevitable war in the near future.
