Win the Ding 1617

The two artillery crews operating the two cannons were selected from the artillery divisions. It was recognized that the two artillery crews were not comparable in technology, physical strength, and staffing.

On the newly built fort, almost all the high-level personnel of the Southern Guangdong Army in Guangdong gathered here.

Ye Qi, who was transferred back to Guangzhou from Lingjiawei Island and was going to preside over the commercial trade with the mainland, mainly in the Jianghuai and Han regions, watched with interest Li Huamei and Ao Lei Yilan, two women of similar age, exchanging their personal information with each other. collection.

"I snatched this from the Japanese. No, I got it in exchange for the ribs. It is said that one of their famous generals was trapped in the temple by a traitorous subordinate and used it to cut open his stomach!"

"This dagger is a good thing! Dad and I snatched it from a military officer in Jianzhou that year!"

There are two violent women, one is Li Shouhan's favorite, the image spokesperson of the Nanyue Army Navy; A land of lucrative benefits.

It's nothing more than the high-level officials of the Southern Guangdong Army. After so many years, Shou Han has already washed their brains to the point where it's not surprising.But to the astonishment of the gentlemen in Guangzhou, although the age gap between the concubines and their children in their respective families may not be directly proportional to the generational division, the mother and daughter of the Li family, in terms of etiquette and law, (oh, although they are similar in age) , but the seniority is there. The concubine is also the mother.) They actually get along like a pair of sisters, and from time to time they lead their respective dozens of tigress-like soldiers to the edge of the Pearl River.Practice marksmanship with waterfowl sheltering there for the winter.

Of course Li Huamei didn't think there was anything wrong with getting so close to her father Xinna's woman, and Ao Lei Yilan didn't think there was any problem either.Just kidding, those who have progressed hundreds of years compared to these Daurs, as long as there are families with some power and strength, which ones are not married and the in-laws are chaotic?

The old slave's last concubine, Abahai, seemed to be younger than most of his sons. Moreover, it seemed that the old slave had to be called uncle first.

Today's Huang Taiji, the family relationship in the harem is even more chaotic.Concubine Zhezhe is the aunt of Bumbutai and Hai Lanzhu.As for the latter two, their roles are two concubines competing for favor, and a pair of sisters.

Under the leadership of Li Huamei, a violent woman, Ao Lei Yilan quickly mastered the new weapon of firecrackers.And use it very skillfully.at the moment.This pair of violent women made the gentlemen in Guangzhou shake their heads secretly.Sitting right behind Shou Han.

Next to Shou Han, the red-haired barbarian sitting next to Shou Han, leaning half of his body forward from time to time, talking respectfully to Shou Han, is the commander of the Portuguese Restoration.He has nearly 200 troops under his command, more than [-] large-caliber artillery and military equipment of five or six thousand firecrackers, allowing him to stand out in the sea and on land for a while.

The rehabilitation campaign based in Goa continued westward by sea, squeezing and nibbling away at the Spaniards' territories, incorporating Portuguese soldiers from the captured Spanish army into their own ranks, making those captured from Madrid Those civil servants who could not be promoted continued to be in charge of government affairs, taxation, and finance in the colonies, suppressed by incoming officials.Exchange pieces of land, islands, and harbors favored by the defenders of the Han Dynasty and the Southern Guangdong Army for various materials that can support this war, from generals to soldiers, weapons, money, ammunition, supplies, medicines, ships, etc. Wait, everything.

With the steady development of these years, Gonzalez was pleasantly surprised to find that his journey to the mainland of Portugal became shorter and shorter, and a thought that frightened him kept flashing in his mind, "Maybe I will Become the king of Portugal!" This ambitious or ambitious idea has been spreading and growing in his heart since the day it appeared.

In order to realize the great ideal of becoming the king of Portugal, no, revive the Kingdom of Portugal, and free him from the brutal Spanish rule, he came to meet Governor Li again excitedly, and was ready to receive generous and selfless assistance from him again.

However, when he heard that there was a new artillery experiment, he stalked and followed the guard of honor to Huangpu Island.

The two teams of gunners each have five shells, and the team that completes the firing in the shortest time is the winner.For the sake of fairness, after a round of shooting, after a short break, a second shot will be taken, and the artillery will be exchanged for operation.

The gunners took a closer look at the artillery that was about to be operated. It was not different from other artillery in terms of regulation and shape, except that the body of the gun was not so smooth, and the body of the gun was full of pockmarks, and it even felt a little undulating to the touch.

"Why is this?"

Dragon Overlord was a little dissatisfied. Could it be that the guys who made the cannon felt that their heads were a little too big, and they planned to ask the lord to cut off a piece of them?

"Why? Tyrannosaurus rex, you will understand after firing two cannons later!" The craftsman who came to adjust the cannon from the artillery field was an acquaintance with him, and immediately retorted.

Just as he was about to retort, an officer of the artillery division over there glanced at the clock, "It's time, all guns are ready!"

"Filled, loaded..."

The voices of the commanders in front of the two cannons rang out one after another with a sense of competition.

"let go, let go"

With the deafening sound of cannons, sharp flames burst out from the muzzles of the cannons.

Amidst the whistling of shells, the targets placed on the river beach were blasted away one by one.

"Brush chamber"

Immediately after the cannon was fired, one loader brushed the gun bore with a cannon brush, another person loaded the gunpowder bag, and another person filled the shell.Loading, aiming, and firing cannons were done calmly and quickly, and everyone nodded secretly. They were able to train the expensive artillery to such an extent. Such a division of labor and cooperation showed that they had put in a lot of effort on weekdays. Many local officials in Guangdong began to Fortunately, I served under the Nanyue Army as soon as possible.

Using the same quantitative gunpowder, due to the perfect formula, the gun charge and shell weight can reach one to two, and it is possible to fire a few more shots than in the past before dissipating heat.In the past, it was necessary to dissipate heat after firing three shots in a row.Now it can shoot five shots, and the range is farther.

If it reaches the level of one to three, it can reduce the calorific value of the artillery, increase the firing frequency of the artillery, and greatly reduce the possibility of the artillery bombing.

"play again"

It was the whistling sound of two cannonballs being ejected from the chamber.

"Attention all guns, free fire!"

Now comes the real game testing session.

The gunners of the two guns cheered up and began to use all their strengths.

The two rounds of shooting just now belonged to the experience of new artillery, and familiarity with the process of firing artillery.Now is the real chapter.

The Tyrannosaurus rex excitedly pulled the match rope, and the rope pulled the spring at the other end, guiding the trigger to set off sparks into the medicine pool.

"boom!"

His group took the lead in firing the shells, and then.The group using the fuse also fired the cannon successfully.The two shells flew towards the river beach one after the other, hit the target there and burned it.

Thanks to the Lafa-style flintlock machine, the artillery firing of the Tyrannosaurus rex group gradually gained the upper hand.When the opponent is still loading the third artillery shell.They have completed the firing of the fourth shell.Gained an advantage steadily.

And the pockmarked surface on the cannon.At this time, their role was also shown.The biggest advantage of the slightly raised or sunken gun barrel surface is that it expands the heat dissipation area of ​​the gun barrel surface, and can dissipate the heat brought by the gunpowder to the barrel wall of the gun barrel in the fastest time.

Add gunpowder to use silk pouches.This kind of biological protein can be decomposed quickly after encountering high temperature, and burns fully in the gun bore, leaving the least residue.The two are combined in one place, and if evaluated from the perspective of Tyrannosaurus rex, it can fire ten shots in a row without stopping to dissipate heat!This guarantees the continuity and continuity of firepower to the greatest extent!May I ask, in the European continent, which is in full swing at this moment, in Liaodong, and in various places in the Jianghuai River and Han Dynasty, can any army withstand the firepower of dozens of artillery firing more than ten times in a row?

As the Tyrannosaurus rex excitedly pulled the matchlock, the fifth shell was fired out of the barrel, and the first round of competition ended.The pull-hair flintlock was the undisputed triumph.

"Great Governor Lee, please allow me to be the first to congratulate you. Your artillery is the best artillery I have ever seen, no matter in terms of size, quantity or technical level, it is the best; there is no one. "

When the artillerymen stopped to cool the gun barrels and recover their strength to prepare for the next round of competition.Gonzalez began to flatter the guard.

He hoped to acquire such artillery to support his superiority in the great war of the Restoration of the Kingdom of Portugal.In order to be able to obtain such artillery, even if it is to hand over the governorship rich in silver and gold controlled by several Portuguese in South America to the Governor Li in front of him, he will not hesitate!

If not artillery, at least similar artillery equipment!

"The military equipment of the Southern Guangdong Army is always very simple, but it is easy to use. Those stupid fellows among the indigenous people will be able to use it after a few times of teaching!"

This is the unanimous evaluation of the Portuguese military officers on the weapons produced by Nanzhong.

His voice was drowned in the deafening sound of cannonballs, screaming shells, and billowing smoke, drowning the figures of Tyrannosaurus rex and others. After a short rest, Tyrannosaurus rex and his men exchanged gun positions with friendly troops , for a second round of shooting.After the first round of shelling, the gunners desperately cleaned the barrel with wool brushes and reloaded ammunition.

The water vapor in the brush chamber sizzled, and amidst the high-pitched chants of the gunners, the two cannons started firing again. With the thunderous sound of the cannons, the muzzles shot out fiery flames towards the river beach. Huge shells hit the few remaining targets on the river beach, and billowing white smoke quickly filled the sky above the artillery positions again.

This time, the artillery group still using the pull-type flintlock machine won the victory.

"Decree! Both artillery and armor commanders will be promoted to one level! Double the military pay. The personnel of the two artillery teams will be rewarded with 20 yuan in silver dollars, and two bolts of high-quality silk and satin! Two tables of banquets will be rewarded! All meritorious craftsmen in the workshops will be rewarded! "

When the artillery officer reported the expected test result to Shou Han, Shou Han generously rewarded him.

He knew what this thing meant to him, and to the artillerymen of the world.

After two days of pleasant and fruitful negotiations, on November 12, [-]th year of Chongzhen, the date marked in the Chinese calendar as the date of Yiding League, Li Shouhan and Gonzales, the commander of the Portuguese Restoration, met in Wuyang City. A document of epoch-making historical significance was signed.

"Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Friendship, Mutual Assistance and Alliance".

"The friendship between the Southern Guangdong Army of the Chinese Ming Empire and the Portuguese Restoration Army is a friendship of iron and steel cast in blood. It is the alliance that spans the farthest in the world war against the rule of the evil and brutal Spanish Kingdom. After a long period of fighting side by side and close cooperation. The Ming Empire of China and the Restoration of Portugal agreed that Spain was actually a rebel against the Catholic Church in the name of defender of orthodoxy. Since its prosperity, it has waged wars in Europe, but ignored the capture of the holy city of Jerusalem. In order to punish the Kingdom of Spain for its perverse actions, we have been It is believed that it is necessary to further strengthen the friendly and cooperative relations. To this end, after talks, it is agreed that the statement is as follows:

one.The Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire implemented a policy of religious equality and freedom.Allow Catholicism to spread freely under the premise of complying with the laws of the empire, and promise the necessary protection from all levels of government in the southern Guangdong military area.The Portuguese Restoration promised to introduce scholars from the Ming Dynasty, and the national policy of implementing academic freedom was the same as protecting the Aristotelian school.

two.The Southern Cantonese Army of the Ming Empire helped Portugal to recover and form an army.against the Kingdom of Spain.All expenses were borne by the Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire.Given that the overall strength of the Portuguese army was far inferior to that of Spain, the Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire decided to garrison Viana do Castelo to provide the necessary support for Portugal's restoration.The cost of the garrison was borne by the Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire.There is no occupation fee, and it is promised to strictly restrain the garrison. If there is any criminal behavior, the people can be sent directly to the garrison commander.

Third, the Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire opened the two treaty ports of Macao and Guangzhou to mutual trade with Portugal, and promised to protect all legitimate and legal commercial activities.Portugal's restoration promises to open Lisbon as a treaty port, and the berths, docks, warehouses, etc. in the port will be given priority to berth and use by Ming merchant ships.The fleet of the Ming Empire is allowed to berth, but when the Ming fleet enters the port of Lisbon, it must be led by a Portuguese pilot.

Fourth, the Southern Cantonese Army of the Ming Empire and the Portuguese Restoration Army will continue to jointly attack Spain's brutal overseas colonies, rescue European immigrants and local indigenous people who are in dire straits, and stop cruel genocide and tax oppression.The Ming Empire promised that it would fight against Madeira and Las Palmas Islands in the near future and annihilate the Spanish troops in these two places. The Portuguese Restoration Army would assist in the operations and support the Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire in their occupation of the two places.

Fifth, after the restoration of Portugal, the agreement between the restoration government and the Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire continued to be valid.

Sixth, all military pay and supplies needed during the Restoration War were paid in advance by the Southern Guangdong Army, and the Restoration took the colonies seized by the Kingdom of Portugal and the evil Spanish Empire in various parts of the Americas as collateral.The Fu** recognizes the justice and legitimacy of the Southern Guangdong Army's military and other actions to occupy and effectively manage the above-mentioned areas.

Seventh, any treaty signed between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Ming Empire in the future will be based on this treaty. "

When Gonzalez wrote his name on the document with the title of "Leader of the Kingdom of Portugal, Rebel against Spanish Tyranny, Commander of the Portuguese Restoration" with a dip pen and beautiful cursive calligraphy, the guardian An imperceptible smile appeared on Han's face.

However, in the heart of Gonzalez is also very proud.This title has been confirmed by Father Alfonso present in the name of the church, and has been recognized by the British and Dutch present.In other words, if his feet set foot on Portuguese soil, he would become the legal king of the Kingdom of Portugal!For this reason, let alone signing such a seemingly beneficial and harmless friendship and mutual aid alliance treaty, even if he sold his soul to the devil, he would sign a contract with that guy who smelled like sulfur without hesitation!

In the eyes of many old bureaucrats and gentry in Guangzhou, this contract is an act of exalting the country's prestige thousands of miles away, demonstrating the grandeur of a great country, and continuing the survival of other countries. Uncle's move is really benevolent and righteous.It is similar to that when Emperor Shenzong sent troops to help North Korea resist the Japanese invasion.

However, in the eyes of some Nanzhong seniors, this contract is a complete loss-making business.

From the signing of this contract, the Portuguese can freely withdraw weapons, food, and money in Nanzhong that match their military strength and actions.Some people even worried that the group of Hong Maoyi people would resell these materials for profit?

It should be noted that now their Europa is beating one Buddha to heaven and two Buddhas to be born.These things are said to have reached the point where there is no market for the price.

However, the trust they have cultivated in Shou Han over the years made them smile even though they were suspicious in their hearts.

Only Shou Han understands that after the signing of this document, the Portuguese, Spaniards, and the overseas colonies that the Europeans seized all over the world during the so-called era of geographical discovery by the Europeans will all become delicacies in the mouths of the Southern Cantonese Army.And, it's all legal!

Countless privileges that have been criticized in history books, and unequal treaties imposed by powerful countries on weak and small nations, have been changed and painted in this treaty, and then brought out again.

What?You can not see it?Well, look at this one!Regarding the privileges of the garrison, "The South Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire decided to garrison Viana do Castelo to provide necessary support for the restoration of Portugal. The cost of the garrison will be borne by the South Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire. There will be no occupation fee, and it is promised to strictly restrain the garrison. If you commit crimes, the people can directly send them to the garrison commander." Your army is stationed in other people's territory, "if you commit crimes, the people can directly send you to the garrison commander." In other words, the local government has no Disposal of power, isn't that what extraterritoriality is?

Need to say anything else?Taste carefully for yourself! (To be continued..)
