Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 347

Less than a month later, with Xiaoquanzhou as the center, the lives of the Australian aborigines in the vicinity of [-] miles have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The first thing that bears the brunt is that the various tribes stationed several Daming advisors, who are in charge of management as "special envoys of the governor".

But the natives called them "angels of the gods".

The special envoy first brought bows and arrows and a wheelbarrow to the natives, but these two things brought a qualitative leap in their lives.

Guo Yuan also asked people to organize several tribes that were close to each other and build a hunting team with elites and soldiers. They were trained and commanded by soldiers of the Ming army, and organized drag-net hunting on the grassland.

Thanks to the powerful power of bows and arrows and the low IQ of Australian wild animals, the hunting efficiency is astonishingly high. The hunting team can bring back half a month's worth of food after going out for half a day, and then happily transport it back to the tribe in a wheelbarrow.

Soon, Guo Yuan had to strictly order that hunting must be done on demand, otherwise, at this speed of hunting, the aborigines would wipe out the nearby prey in a few years.

And these hunting teams became the embryonic form of Ming's colonial army in Australia. Later, they went to the Americas with naval warships and made great military exploits.

Compared with bows and arrows and wheelbarrows, the most attractive thing to the natives is iron pots and seasonings, two things that are very common in Daming.

With these two "artifacts", the taste of food immediately becomes wonderful.

The aborigines would feel worse than killing them if they had eaten food cooked in an iron pan with salt and pepper, and letting them eat dry roasted food.

Not to mention that the Great Ming Shenshi also has a mysterious way of making food, stir-frying.

The taste is simply indescribable!
One bite and you can fly to the sky.

So much so that for a long period of time, eating a meal of stir-fried vegetables has become the highest reward for the aborigines.

Of course, Guo Yuan has always firmly controlled resources such as arrowheads, steel knives, salt, and horses in Xiaoquan Prefecture, and even iron pots are distributed for every [-] natives.

Due to increased productivity, nearby indigenous tribes soon had surplus labor.

Guo Yuan authorized Wang Qinian to gather the able-bodied men of the tribe and officially began to dig the copper mine. In just half a month, thousands of able-bodied natives rushed to the copper mine to work spontaneously.

These aborigines are idle anyway, working in the copper mine can take care of food and housing, and they can also earn Daming Dragon Banknotes, why not do it?
After getting this kind of dragon banknote, they can exchange food, salt, and pepper with the "person who worships the envoy of the gods", which are all good things that can make the whole tribe covet.

Even steel knives can be exchanged, which is a treasure that only tribal leaders and priests can have!
It's just that the price is extremely expensive.

Following the instructions of the Ming emperor, paper money was promoted in the colony from the beginning.

Firstly, it is absolutely impossible for the natives to forge counterfeit banknotes with their technical capabilities.

Second, a large amount of circulating gold and silver can be saved.

Inspired by salt, pepper and even steel knives, the aborigines worked with unprecedented enthusiasm. After another month and a half, the first batch of copper ore in Australia was shipped to Daming!

At the same time, with the help of sufficient food and advanced tools, the overall strength of the indigenous tribes who chose to accept the leadership of Xiaoquanzhou has been greatly improved.

In wars with tribes farther away, they almost completely defeated those tribes that did not establish ties with Ming.

Those tribes are not protected by the Ming Dynasty's rule of "no killing without authorization". Even if they are unfortunately defeated, there will soon be a hunting team jointly formed by the tribes to avenge them.

So more tribes came to Xiaoquanzhou to surrender.

Not long after, with the spread of salt, pepper, horses and other things, the legend of "sacrificing the gods" began to spread throughout Northwest Australia, and Xiaoquan State almost became a holy place.

Daming's stronghold in Australia is also slowly expanding from north to south.

The Ming Dynasty was on a great voyage, and the Qing Dynasty was not idle either. Kangxi was busy driving the Rakshasa ghosts himself!

Outside the old imperial city of Shengjing.

"Hooray! Hooray!"

The Qing Dynasty shotgunners, pikemen, and grenadiers standing one after another under the high platform gave out deafening cheers.

Standing on the high platform, I looked down at the hillside, the city wall near Fusheng Gate (the north gate of Shengjing City), and the tens of thousands of elite musketeers standing in the open space outside Fusheng Gate.

The pockmarked Kangxi finally made up for the regret that he didn't have a royal driver to conquer San Francisco in person.

Speaking of which, the [-] elite soldiers brought by Kang Mazi to the Northeast are very likely to be stronger than the first and second generation of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers of Huang Taiji back then.

This isn't some random bragging, it's backed by evidence.

First of all, there are more Batulu warriors under Kang Mazi than Huang Taiji's Batulu warriors!
And not a little bit more, but a hundred times more!
Back then, there were a dozen Batulu Yong numbers awarded by Huang Taiji.

During Kang Mazi's military training, he has awarded at least 1000 Batulu troops.
Accurate shooting: Batulu!

Run fast: Batulu!

That's really brave, and the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are all Baturu!
Moreover, in order to win over these Batulu, Kangxi also gave them the treatment of "wearing yellow jackets", and let them take turns to serve as bodyguards, so as to draw the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

Secondly, Kang Mazi's army is now equipped with a large number of high-end matchlock guns-some of these matchlock guns are "good goods" brought in by the "Netherlands" through the pseudo-Korea country!
Others were produced by the Manufacturing Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the personal supervision of Kang Mazi.

Not to mention, after attaching importance to firearms, the Qing Dynasty's firearms manufacturing industry developed rapidly.

Kangxi's Ministry of Internal Affairs' manufacturing office not only gathered skilled blacksmiths he could find on the land of the Qing Dynasty, but also invited a group of foreign craftsmen who were good at making guns and artillery with the help of the Portuguese.

The Portuguese hate Ming very much now.

The manufacturing office was copied by Kangxi from Daming.

In order to provide high-quality iron materials for the arsenal of the manufacturing department, Kang Mazi also ignored the dragon veins in the northeast, and asked Nan Huairen to take a group of Portuguese engineers to Liaoyang Prefecture, which was rich in iron ore in the Ming Dynasty, to find good iron.

Not to mention, good mines were found near Anshanyi and Benxi Hushan!

After collecting some muskets, Emperor Kangxi began to study the infantry drills and regulations of Western countries that the Portuguese had found for him.
He soon discovered that after the 30-year war, various military powers in the West began to adopt denser horizontal formations. At the same time, they all greatly increased the proportion of fusiliers and arquebuses in infantry, generally reaching [-]%. Sixty or seventy.

Kang Mazi, who had fought several "modern wars" with Daming, had also discovered that those miscellaneous arms were useless on today's battlefield.

On the current battlefield, the arms of Musketeers, Pikemen, Grenadiers, Cavalry, and Artillery are still useful.

Although the Qing Dynasty did not have flintlock guns, the matchlock barrels were enough, barely enough.

In addition, the Qing Dynasty also had grenades. The technical content of the grenade was not high, and the Qing Dynasty had imitated it, but their power was still not as powerful as that of the Ming Dynasty, because they were not good at gunpowder.

Kangxi has a strong ability to learn. He decisively kept up with the trend and created a new Eight Banners soldier composed of musketeers, pikemen and grenadiers!

And the first battle of this new Eight Banners soldiers is about to take place in Heilongjiang!
