Chapter 839. Unexpected variables

The British colonized India, but the country that India was most grateful to in later generations was still Britain because they felt that the British helped them get rid of backwardness and ignorance, and the same was Japan and the Philippines. However, in this time and space, the civilized power that "kindly" helped people turned into the Ming Dynasty.

But it still made the British a little cheaper! It was also considered that Emperor Mao admired foreign countries and fascinated the foreigners. Later generations watched war movies or played games. He liked the English roar of Faye (fire) and always felt that it was a little more ruthless than the simple fire order. Therefore, the fire order of the Liaodong army was Faye. The mercenaries of the United East India Company, which was composed of veterans, also used this fire order. Now it spread to the southeast again.

"Faya!"

The mercenary officer holding a long narrow version of the winged sword roared with all his might, but this time, the one who raised the gun was wearing a thick needle-eyed linen uniform, wooden rattan armor, and small round helmets, carrying retired military rifles sold by the East India Company. They also followed the order and knocked the trigger.

With the crackling sound of beans, the front row of Burmese troops who marched along the Mekong Plain directly opposite, the vine armored soldiers with almost all equipment but with scimitars fell down in a row.

Behind, cannons also rang one after another. Seeing the war elephants in the Burmese army opposite, who were considered the absolute main force, whimperingly fell down, for a moment, the thin and dry national prime minister Papiro was full of confidence.

With these Ming weapons, who else can resist the Siamese soldiers in the world?

In the binoculars provided by the Ming Dynasty, as the Burmese vanguard army that was coming in a fierce manner began to shrink due to the breaking, Lao Yuzi raised the staff in his hand very excitedly and shouted excitedly: "Army, attack!"

However, Papiro was excited and fantasized about his invincibility in the world, but he didn't know that another war was also breaking out fiercely on the Indochina Peninsula.

The same artillery fire was continuous, and the same crackling sound of gunfire, and the collapsed wall of Julu City, which was rolling smoke, was more advanced than the Siamese people and deeply influenced by the Chinese. Annan Army, wearing the old-style metal armor of Song and Ming dynasties, was also roaring in the city. A large group of people collided with the soldiers of the South Palm who rushed out of the city wall.

With the banging sound, the unique weapon of Central and South China slashed the iron armor and slashed the sparks, but the cold forged bayonet was stabbed, which made it a blood hole. Both sides were roaring wildly, but the Vietnamese army gradually pushed all the Nanzhang troops into the city.

At this time, Ruan Yuelian also reached the point of looking down on the world. He was already regarded as a turtle man for these guys who were hindering his unification of the narrow plain east of Changshan. This old potato hated him deeply and held a big knife high. He roared with murderous intent: "Kill everything, and leave no living!!!"

With his roar, another overwhelming sound of heavy artillery suddenly sounded. With a clamor, the towering steeple on the giant hut was smashed into pieces by a sudden shot.

However, the general of Annan Ruan Master did not notice any small details. The Vietnamese army, who was fighting, suddenly shot with a gun. However, when the two knocks, the old generation flintlock rifle using flint device did not fire at all. It shook down suddenly. A sticky blood was thrown out of the barrel. Looking at the muddy bolt, he shouted and cursed. The Vietnamese army pulled out the bayonet and put it in front of the gun, and rushed up again with a scream.

Like swords and spears, guns and cannons are consumables. The more intense the battle is, the faster it consumes. Moreover, according to Annan's current smelting level, it is difficult to repair, let alone imitation, repair, and all weapons and equipment can only have one source.

Ming Dynasty!

At this time, Luo Yu was rushing to make some money.

Bangkok City is now considered Mao's surname. Once again, merchant ships with endless exchanges are densely anchored in this excellent harbor. However, the silk tea, ready-to-wear and daily necessities introduced this year are significantly less, and most of them are imported building materials, such as steel bars, cement, nails, etc. These are the business areas of the Liao Commercial Bank, which made the directors complain. However, seeing the three large orders sent back by Luo Yu, the doubts on the board soon disappeared and disappeared.

All the legions of the Ming Dynasty changed their equipment almost every three years. The eliminated old guns and cannons were directly sealed and used as strategic reserves. Some of them were sold to overseas colonies in a new condition. The other ones were more worn and worn. Without large-scale wars and needed to mobilize the whole nation, they were almost treated as scrap iron. One of them was an old flint gun, which was a flint gun, which was a flint gun, which was an elimination price of only 100 cents, and Luo Yu could sell ten taels, and the matching bayonets were paid for a different price. The cannons were even more profitable. The retired cannons eliminated by the Navy and the Army were only twenty taels of scrap iron. Luo Yu, a small profitable merchant, could sell two thousand taels per door, not to mention that importing these building materials was to build buildings for the company. Who could say more?

And before we knew it, the tentacles of the United East India Company also penetrated deeper into the Indochina Peninsula. Siam mortgaged the treasury tax to the company. Starting this year, the company will control the operation of the Siam treasury. At that time, whoever pays more taxes, whoever pays less taxes, and what you produce will pay taxes to me. These East India Company have the right to speak. Over time, it is not impossible to completely control the lifeline of Siam's economy. The poor old orange peel Papiro still has no idea.

Siam is pretty good. On the other hand, Chameng, which almost suffered a crisis of destruction because of the East India Company, was even sold out completely. In order to win back the favor of the Ming Dynasty, Chameng Wang Xinshang simply dismissed the Prime Minister Bai Gasol with the support of the nobles, and directly appointed Luo Yu as the Prime Minister of Chameng. As for the mob that raided the port of the East India Company a while ago, he only caught him in one word! Even some nobles of all sizes were still caught. Their heads were cut off like ripe watermelons, and they hung up in the streets. In the fear of the people of Chameng, the company had already half controlled Chameng.

It is said that women hold grudges, but this is true. Even the nobles of Champa cried and called on their parents, begged grandpa and grandma to take care of them, Luo Yu didn't go. She was convinced and devoted herself to the buildings in Bangkok. With the advancement of construction technology, the company's small building was unprecedentedly reopened for five floors. On the other end, all Siam people's residences along several streets were demolished, and they were all divided into Ming Dynasty rental lands, spreading out like three-story shops and residential spider webs.

The outermost layer was a rented wall of more than five meters high, rising from the ground. The little girl gritted her teeth and drew drawings while screaming in anger.

"Build thicker! If it is broken and built, it will be a silver!!!"

.........

The emergence of the young genius Luo Yu brought the Southeast Asian crisis from March to July to an end. The economic crisis is still continuing, but it has nothing to do with the East India Company. The revenue this year may be affected a little, and it is estimated that it will generate income next year. In addition, the company's ability to replace it is not mediocre. Ruan Dahuzi, who is still so angry about Donglin Fushe, becomes the executive chairman. The company's crisis has basically come to an end.

In Empire Square and Royal Suite, Mao Jue also began to hum a little tune and pack up the greetings and documents, preparing to go home. This trip was a secret visit to Jiangnan, and it was not good if he had been delayed for too long.

However, just as Emperor Mao was leisurely thinking about when to eat tonight, the sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded. The little girl Serita, who was already accustomed to the identity of the imperial secretary, walked in quickly with a stack of documents and placed it on the table lightly.

"Boss, please make a case! There is something big today!"

It was too easy to talk to, and the girl was no longer afraid of herself. She glanced helplessly, and Mao Jue left her things and sat at the desk. No wonder Serita was so excited today. The one on the top was actually a big red invitation for the wedding.

But this is a happy event for ordinary people. It is not so easy to send invitations to the emperor when they are socializing. Especially, this invitation was sent by Lu Zhong, the leader of the Jinyiwei in Jiangnan!

With his brows frowned, Mao Jue quickly opened the invitation. Of course, the post was not for him. Looking at the two families who were getting married, an unbelievable look came out on his face. He stared at the invitation for two or three minutes. Mao Jue finally put the invitation down again with a dull feeling, rubbing his temples with his thumb with a headache.

"Boss, who is going to get married? When will we attend the wedding?"

Without permission to read the documents, Serita was still unaware of it. She asked there stupidly, but Mao Jue rolled her eyes simply: "Attend the wedding? It's almost the same to attend the funeral! Tell the people below that they don't need to clean up, I won't leave!"

Standing up from the big chair, looking solemnly at the bustling Hangzhou City outside the window. In Serita's confused and surprised eyes, Mao Jue shook his head solemnly again.

"Jiangnan, war is about to begin!"

.........

The time difference in this era is still too much. Although the train rushed to ship the invitations 1,500 miles, when Mao Jue saw the invitation, the wedding was already lively. Early in the morning, firecrackers sounded. However, unlike the ordinary folk wedding team, Jia Ran who carried sedan chairs and sang music, the entire wedding team was composed of luxuriously decorated and weird carriages, and even the drum bands that trumpeted wow patterns on the carriage.

The second carriage was even more strange. This car had no horses. Instead, a strange big box on the front of the car was sprayed with heat. Sitting in the open-air car seat, holding a round steering wheel. I don’t know if it was so hot that the steam was smoked, or if I was excited, the groom wearing a big red flower had a face red with excitement.

As the horse-drawn carriage and drum band moved forward lively, they could have arrived at the bride's house, but it was not a residential compound, but it was actually a city, Xiangyang City!

It was almost the same as the customs of later generations. The time was to open the door with white silver stuffed in from the crack of the door. After a while, the closed Xiangyang city gate opened with a creaking sound.

No one noticed that Lu Zhong, the highest leader of the Jinyiwei in Jiangnan and the most cruel commander of the Jinyiwei, hung in the dense branches like a big bat. Seeing the wedding car knocking and hitting into the city gate, his triangle eyes also showed a look of laughter and crying.
