Win the Ding 1617

Full of the friendship between the people of South China and South China, and the hospitality of the South Guangdong Army, the waterline of the three big ships was extremely low.

The three big ships moored on the wharf, in addition to tea, silk, cloth, white sugar, porcelain, armor, swords, glass mirrors, etc., are precious spices such as pepper, pepper, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and chili peppers, which are used to pray to Gushi Khan, great learned treasures, wise men, and so on. Contributed by the Sea Master.

In addition to these, there are a thousand matchlock guns that have been wiped and maintained with oil in the bilge of the cabin, and they are going to be handed over to the Iron Rod Lamas of the Jokhang Temple and Tashilhunpo Monastery to be used as the magic pestle in the hands of Vajra.

This matchlock gun was originally a second-hand product that was eliminated by various troops. It was lying in the warehouse and was gradually distributed to various villages and towns for the strong men to use.That day, after Chen Lie Gyatso and others saw the power of the firecrackers in the university grounds, they rolled all over the floor to buy these firecrackers during the negotiation, and even threatened to stop the negotiation.For the sake of the friendship between the two groups, the Southern Guangdong Army had to endure pain and tears and sold a thousand matchlock guns to the Uzbek side at a conscientious price of 150 yuan per gunpowder. Gunpowder and lead bullets were priced separately.

In the past few days, Chen Lie Gyatso and the leaders of several missions visited Hejing, Hue and other places in the (top-point) novel, accompanied by officials from the Southern Guangdong Army Rites Department.

Seeing the farmland stretching for thousands of miles, the farmers are busy preparing for the next round of sowing in the field after the autumn harvest. Chen Lie Gyatso couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "If the group of lazybones in my family are like this general Qun Langsheng is as diligent, how good would that be? My manor by the Shigatse River can harvest at least a few hundred grams of grain every year!"

(A gram is a unit of measurement used in Uzbek. One gram is equivalent to about 28 catties.)

"You don't have to worry too much. If you want to increase the production, it's actually very simple. With the iron farm tools we produce here, the officials guarantee that one mu of land will produce at least [-]% more grain in a year."

Seeing the agricultural tools displayed in the Ha Tinh manufacturing exhibition hall, for these tools that shone with blue metal light, the heads of Gyatso and several leaders were displayed like rattle drums.

"Such a precious thing is much more valuable than those poor piles of money. I'm afraid they will steal my tools and run away!"

Chen Lie Gyatso represented the monks, laymen and aristocrats in Uzbekistan. First, metal tools are indeed more valuable than agricultural tools made of wood.both.These iron farming tools look of good quality, in case these damned slaves don't know how to be grateful to the master who feeds them and feeds them, but instead harbor resentment towards the master.Secretly forged a hoe into a sword.What if they stretched out their evil black hands to the master and killed the noble life of the master when the master didn't see it for a while?

no.Never bring metal farming tools into Uzbek.If the grain output is low, it will be low. Anyway, the Southern Cantonese Army will sell grain to Uszang in the future.Can you still be so hungry, old man?

It doesn't matter how many Langshengs starve to death, it just happens to clean up a batch of old, weak, sick and disabled who can only eat but not work.Free up the house to raise yaks.

The road will be built on a large scale soon, and the price of yaks will definitely rise sharply. Maybe one yak can be exchanged for three or four Langsheng in the future!

In front of the blast furnace of Ha Tinh Metallurgy, Chen Lie Gyatso and others were frightened again.

Unexpectedly, iron can be smelted like this.

Tens of thousands of catties of pig iron can be released at one time? !No wonder the general has a strong army here!But here is the reason.Chen Lie Gyatso couldn't help admiring the great wisdom of the two Buddhas from the bottom of his heart. He was able to know the situation here from thousands of miles away, and knew whose thick legs he should hug. How could such a thing be done without great wisdom and supernatural powers? get?

Although I don't plan to buy farm tools for those humble Langshengdui poor, but there are a lot of opportunities to buy weapons and armor at low prices, Chen Lian Gyatso and several big lamas and leaders will not let it go.

"Master, we don't seem to have enough money." Chen Lie Gyatso's accompanying butler said something beside him, reminding Chen Lie Gyatso, who was frantically shopping, to pay attention to controlling the consumption limit.

"Didn't we bring a lot of money, medicinal herbs and musk?" Chen Lie Gyatso rolled his eyes at the housekeeper who interrupted his shopping spree, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Master! It is true that we have brought dozens of loads of silver and medicinal materials, but our silver is not easy to use here. Merchants say that the fineness is too low. If you go to the bank to exchange it for silver dollars, you can exchange it for ten taels of silver at most. Three silver dollars! If you use it like this, I’m afraid we won’t be able to go back to Lhasa.”

"Oh!" Chen Lie Gyatso then remembered that the hard currency Tibetan silver he brought could not be circulated normally in the Southern Guangdong Army, and had to be exchanged for silver dollars.However, the quality of Tibetan silver itself is relatively low, and it is indeed a bit of a disadvantage to exchange for silver dollars.

Today, Chen Lie Gyatso's various expenses in Nanzhong, except for the part that is borne by the Nanyue Army according to diplomatic etiquette, the rest is maintained by selling medicinal materials.It's no wonder Mr. Butler is worried about such a frenzied sweep of goods today.

"Where can we stand?"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Shigatse. At most, we will run out of money after Rina. The rest of our money can only go to Pali or Rina, and at most to Gyantse."

"It's okay!"

Hearing the housekeeper mentioned two locations, Chen Lie Gyatso immediately felt at ease.As long as he can pass Lin Zhi, he will have a solution.

"Master, you?"

"When the time comes, I will sell these small mirrors, glass beads, and these sharp swords to a few chieftains and nobles along the way, which will be enough to return to Shigatse and Lhasa! Hurry up and give me some Langsheng!"

"Give me another hundred handles of this long knife!"

Chen Lie Gyatso's mind was full of small calculations, and his calculations were much clearer than the housekeeper in front of him: a small three-inch mirror, at places like Pali and Rina, can at least tell Zhe Mengxiong The headmen sold dozens of times the price, and the Buddha statue made of holy porcelain, you don't need the same volume of silver, even if you don't even think about taking the Buddha statue back!Not to mention the incomparably sharp and excellent sword!

Chen Lie Gyatso and several great lamas have already negotiated a price of conscience, and they are going west this time.Along the way is to do business.At least thirty high-quality yaks must be exchanged for a precious knife!No matter how cheap it is, it cannot be lower than 120 Lansheng!

The news that the road will be built is only limited to a few people in the mission. Chen Lie Gyatso has reached an agreement with the two great lamas who have been trained and educated for many years under the seat of the Dahai Master and the Great Learned Treasure and Wise Man respectively. On the way, except for the tribute dedicated to the two Buddhas and Gushi Khan, other things can be sold, provided that you can afford the price.

"We only want yaks and slaves!"

The three of them saw very clearly that once they released the news that the road was going to be built, the price of slaves and yaks in U-Tsang would immediately rise.At that time, whoever had more slaves and more yaks had the right to set prices.

What's more, how to build this road.Do they still have the right to make suggestions?

"Amitabha. Money is useless to monks, but the Buddha also needs butter flower lamps to make offerings to."

On the pier, two big lamas looked at the side of the boat which was pushed down extremely low.I couldn't help but put my hands together and recite the Buddha's name in my mouth to repent for my three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance.

Standing on the pier, Li Huaxuan, the third son of the Uzbek Mission, sent his father off.He looked coldly at this group of guys who couldn't be regarded as beasts in clothes.He just rushed back from Bangladesh yesterday, and wanted to apply to his father to recruit another [-] soldiers in the country of Japan, but he was sent such an errand instead.

Children of the Li family.Deeply influenced by my father, I have always had an attitude towards all kinds of religions. As long as you abide by my legal system and can be used by me, you can worship your gods in my land .Even Miss Li Huamei has a Taoist nun Liu Guidan as her master.

But on the way here, when the boat rested on Lingjiawei Island to replenish food and fresh water, it also brought a few newspapers on board as usual. After the third son saw the utensils presented to his father by the envoys from Uzang, he couldn't help but get furious. .Such a reckless disregard for human life, what kind of Buddha is called?

Even the monsters in the caves in Journey to the West are more innocent than them!Those monsters eat people if they want to eat people, and eat Tang monk's meat if they want to eat Tang's monk's meat. Anyway, they are fighting with open flames, and they didn't say to Tang monk that you must sacrifice all your flesh and blood to express your sincere respect for Buddha? !

Even the Buddha Sakyamuni himself only sacrificed his life to feed the tiger and cut his flesh to feed the eagle, and he never grabbed a person and threw him in front of the tiger to feed the tiger? !

So tyrannical, he even called himself a Buddhist disciple!

When he angrily asked for a job in front of his father, and asked to lead his troops and the army of the king of Bengal to go north to wipe out these monster monks, but he refused after being encouraged by the guard.

In fact, why is Shou Han not angry?But any normal person, with normal thinking and aesthetics, would not regard this sect that despises the meaning of human life as a normal person, but I don’t know why so many people still regard their own beliefs hundreds of years later. Give the spirit to this sect?

What's more, the government that has always used the banner of Minzhu, Ziyou, and Renquan launched a rebellion against the Great Sea Master in 59 because he was about to lose his right to kill, plunder, rape, and make exquisite and pure religious vessels for former slaves at will. The gang handed out dynamite prizes.

However, looking at this government on the other hand, how does he treat various sects in his country?Interested students can search for the relevant department of the Bald Eagle's Tobacco, Alcohol and Firearms Administration to see how they used heavy firearms against a sect entrenched in a certain manor in the 90s.Heavy firearms include helicopter gunships.

After 59 years, Shou Han felt a lot of slander for the defection of Dahai Admiral's lineage to Tianzhu.He believed that the reason why Uzang, the last pure land of human beings, and the last Garden of Eden was no longer pure by those slaves, was that Master Dahai was not devout enough to Buddha.

"If Master Dahai can show the courage of my Buddha to sacrifice his life to feed a tiger, and make his own skin and flesh into a magic weapon, why worry that Zhang Guohua can't be driven out of Uzang? Go to Chengdu? He grew up with tens of thousands of locals. Quxi Gangzhu in Quxi was actually driven around like rabbits by a group of mainlanders with severe altitude sickness!"

"San'er, do you know that when my father knew that sooner or later he would have to fight the Zheng family and the Mo family in the north, why did he sell them weapons and gunpowder?"

"Father commander, this son naturally knows that the time has not come. Father must devote all his energy to deploying troops to the south."

"That's right, it's the same now. As for Wu Sizang, you, I wish I could send this group of poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts on the snowy plateau to the eighteenth level of hell overnight. But the time has not come. You remember now, the first The most important thing is to build the road from Bangladesh to Shigatse. The day the road is repaired, it will be the time when the death of this generation is imminent!"

Li Huaxuan, who has inherited his father's three-character mantra of "forbearance, wait, and ruthlessness", although he knows it in his heart, he is young after all, and he can't help showing some expressions on his face. The members of the mission can naturally see that the third young commander in front of him With a hesitant expression, it seems that he has an opinion on himself.

"Hey! If I had known that the third young master would be here at this time, we should have brought a few more beauties!"

Chen Lie Gyatso speculates from the psychology of normal people.Take it for granted.This third young master probably saw the appearance of two beautiful women carefully selected and trained by the two Buddhas in the uncle's mansion, but he couldn't eat it, and his heart became angry.

"This is also very easy to handle. The third young commander is stationed in Bangladesh. It is convenient for people to come and go. It is also the key point of the transaction with us, Wu Sizang. Naturally, we have to curry favor. After returning, we will tell Buddha and Gushi Khan about it. The point is, I’m afraid it’s okay to ask for the princess of Gushi Khan!”

Watching the ants-like official slaves on the pier carrying the heavy cargo onto the ship, Chen Lie Gyatso searched his brains to find out how to make friends with the third young commander.Suddenly, there was a faint sound of gunfire from the lighthouse and the fort in the distance.

A fast boat split the waves on the sea surface, smashed the waves to pieces, and came straight to the pier.

Seeing the red flag raised high on the mast, the people on the pier immediately burst into cheers.

"Victory with the red flag!"

"Where do you think you won the battle again!"

The customs officers standing on the wharf were talking in a low voice, guessing based on past experience, only when there was a major military emergency, would the ships entering the port dare to drive so frantically regardless.

Li Huaxuan could see clearly through the binoculars handed over by his own soldiers. The banner of the Western Expeditionary Army was inserted on the bow mast. (The Western Expeditionary Army is just a common name within the Southern Guangdong Army. The official designation is the Portuguese Restoration Army.)

"Third son, it is the group of guys from the Restoration Army. I know the dwarf Dongyang who is the leader, and he is called Qingbingwei! During the battle in Barisal City, he rushed into the city first, and the son gave him a silver reward. !” The leader of the guards on the side also recognized the acquaintances on the boat.

Apart from a few Portuguese officers, the main composition of the Western Expeditionary Army was mostly Indian soldiers recruited in Goa and other places, and the main force was [-] volunteers recruited in Japan.These Japanese volunteer soldiers who fought under Li Huaxuan's command not long ago were considered his old troops. With such a reasonable and reasonable reason, Li Huaxuan naturally wouldn't stay here with this group of disgusting guys.

Sure enough, Qing Bingwei and others came to report victory and ask for help.

"Your Highness!" Qing Bingwei still followed his habit when he was in Japan. You must know that the old officer in front of him is a person who can stand with his head up and accept General Tokugawa's kowtow when he sees the generals of the Tokugawa family. It is not considered His Highness overstep.

"We followed Mr. Gonzalez all the way westward, and conquered the neighboring areas of their motherland. It is called Gibraltar! Mr. Gonzalez was worried that he would be besieged by the surrounding Spaniards and Moors, and his troops were insufficient to complete the task." The great cause of the restoration of the country has delayed the general's great affairs!"

As he said that, Qing Bingwei turned around and let Colonel Baissoa of the Portuguese Restoration Army behind him hand over a flag that was riddled with bullets and flames and several bottles and jars to Li Huaxuan.

"Your Highness, this is the Spanish military flag hanging on the castle of Gibraltar. We dedicate it to His Royal Highness the Earl! This is the soil and stones of Gibraltar. In order to express our gratitude to the Earl, thank him for his justice. For the selfless assistance of the just cause of the Portuguese from the brutal Spanish rule, we, the Portuguese Restoration Army, unanimously decided to dedicate Gibraltar to the Earl! And according to the habit of the East, we named this place Lijiakou!"

Gibraltar changed its name to Lijiakou?Li Huaxuan's head suddenly turned black.He had also seen this place on the map in his father's study.This city and port is located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, which is popular among the Hong Maoyi population.It just happens to be on the north shore of the eastern end of the Strait of Gibraltar, where the ocean and the inland sea meet, and it can be regarded as a traffic throat.To the south is another vassal territory of the Portuguese rival Spain. It is easy to take down here, but if you want to hold it, it may be a bit difficult.

But he didn't expect that Gonzalez, a red-haired barbarian, was also a guy with a hidden knife in his smile. Knowing that he couldn't keep it, he immediately gave up this hot potato. It really was a good idea!

"How's your fighting there?"

Li Huaxuan asked Qing Bingwei calmly, hoping to get some facts out of his mouth for reference.

When the old chief asked questions, Qing Bingwei naturally answered them.

Speaking of the battles along the way, apart from the endless sea life, the journey was quite pleasant.Relying on the strongholds established over the years, although the ships are a bit crowded, every few days or more than ten days, there will be a stronghold of different sizes that provides fresh water, fresh vegetables and meat, and at the same time allows these crowded and sardines to The canned soldiers went ashore to get some air.

"Only in Lumi Kingdom, we fought against the emperor's army there. We lost hundreds of people, and more than 200 brothers ascended to heaven, but we also captured thousands of heads!" Qing Bingwei said Full of pride.

The Lumi Kingdom he mentioned is the Ottoman Empire we are familiar with, and the Lumi Gun, which is highly praised in various time-travel novels, came from the Roma Sultanate, a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire.

After this battle, the always brave Ottoman army was defeated.It immediately shocked the Ottoman Empire.Just kidding, at most their army wanted to grab something, but the group of Japanese volunteers they faced was all about beheading each other, or dying in battle with honor.A person who wants to get rich meets a person who is desperate for his life, what do you think will happen?

However, Gonzalez would not think that he could destroy the Ottoman Empire just because of this small contact, except that he prepared a generous gift and sent eloquent envoys to conduct diplomatic mediation, which showed that this was a complete misunderstanding. It even made it clear, "We are going to find the Spaniards' bad luck. We are not here to be an enemy of your country."

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.Based on this principle, when they heard that these dwarfs who were desperate to fight were looking for the bad luck of the Spaniards, the Ottoman Empire was overjoyed and sent the Portuguese Restoration Army away with drums and gongs.

The pashas along the way even patted their chests and assured that as long as they beat the Spaniards, they are our brothers.

"Your Highness, we have come back to repay the victory this time. In addition to dedicating Gibraltar to His Highness the Earl, there is another matter to ask the Earl for permission."

have to!After listening to Colonel Baisuoya's words, Li Huaxuan immediately understood in his heart that it is true that there is nothing to be courteous about, either adultery or robbery!

"Third son, where is Lao Shizi's Gibraltar?" Finally found a reason to strike up a formal conversation with Li Huaxuan, and Chen Lie Gyatso approached him with a shy face.

"It's [-] miles away from the ocean! It's getting late, so you guys should leave early! It's better to leave!" (To be continued...)
