Li Xiao held a telescope and watched the synthesis drill of the First Cavalry Division.

Came to Zhurihe again, Li Xiao even went to the place where the mortar bomb exploded.

Of course, there are no craters or anything like that here.

This is an ordinary meadow. Who could have imagined that the explosion of a mortar bomb three hundred years later would affect the national destiny of the Ming Empire.

The empire under his feet now can be regarded as the most powerful empire in the world.

The South China Sea is the inland sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty, and the Pacific Ocean is the fishing ground of the Ming Dynasty.

The Indians dug holes in the mountains all day long and contributed their underground mineral deposits to the Ming Dynasty.

The oil fields in the Middle East are not allowed to be touched by anyone except the Ming Dynasty people.

The Ming Dynasty not only monopolized oil extraction technology, but also monopolized oil refining technology.

No one dares to get involved in these two technologies, everyone knows it. If you dare to build an oil refinery today, warships from the Ming Navy will come tomorrow.

There are always excuses!

For example, the governor was not enthusiastic towards the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no smile on his face.

Another example is that the Governor smiled too enthusiastically, as if there was a knife hidden in his smile.

Anyway, the shells will definitely fall on the built oil refinery as punishment for the locals for disrespecting the Ming Dynasty.

As for compensation after the event, there is definitely no such thing. In many cases, the Ming Dynasty would ask local officials for the cost of artillery shells, euphemistically calling it war compensation.

overbearing!

This is how Ming Dynasty behaves!

The Ming Dynasty occupied Xinjiapo and built a purely Ming city in that place.

In Southeast Asia, whenever a Ming citizen dies, the military attache at the local consulate will pick up the collar of the local leader and ask him if he has lived enough.

The murderer was quickly handed over, whether he was the real murderer or a fake murderer.

Then the people of the Ming Dynasty would demand that the murderer's family be handed over, and all the men, including the man in his arms, would have their heads chopped off in public display.

Women! Including the woman in my arms, all will be sold by Ming Dynasty.

As for where to sell it, it depends on who can afford the price.

All the property of that family will be confiscated by Ming Dynasty as compensation for the victims.

This is the Ming Dynasty's standard procedure for handling such matters. The diplomats in Southeast Asia played this matter very skillfully.

As for Australia, it is now completely a sea of ​​black people.

If you go there, you will think you are in Africa.

Countless black people are busy in the mines, mining iron ore, a necessity for Ming Dynasty industry.

On the way from the mining area to the port, trains come and go almost constantly, with one leaving every half an hour.

For iron ore, Ming Dynasty is like a giant Pixiu, with endless demand.

All the rest of the world has become a dumping ground for Ming Dynasty industrial products.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty were very greedy. They were like octopuses, extending their tentacles to every place on earth where there were people.

In this, Japanese merchants played a very good role.

Compared with Ming Dynasty merchants, these Japanese merchants worked harder.

After all, the samurai class has become a thing of the past. Nowadays, the most glorious thing in Japan is making money. Whoever makes more money is the envied person.

The woman who lived in a brothel in Osaka returned to her hometown.

The villagers would only envy her renovated house and new furniture, but would not care how many men she served in Osaka.

Laughing at poverty but not at prostitution is a true reflection of the Japanese country today.

Under the pressure of survival, more and more samurai put down their samurai swords and picked up abacus. It only took ten years for the dojos that practiced kendo to go from bustling to empty.

Even Tokugawa Katsuyori said that there would never be a qualified samurai in the entire Japanese kingdom.

The samurai class has transformed into the merchant class as a whole, and all the intelligent people in the Japanese country have plunged into the business world.

Almost every merchant ship sailing in the world now has the shadow of Japanese people on it.

Large tracts of fields were deserted, and the Japanese state had transformed from a grain exporting country into a grain importing country.

But this doesn't matter, after all, the permanent population of Japan is not large anymore. Moreover, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Once the fanatical marine people get involved with business, they will erupt with volcanic enthusiasm.

These passions are enough to drive all Japanese people to devote themselves to maritime commerce.

As for North Korea, Li Xiao selectively ignored that country.

That country had extreme respect and admiration for the Ming Dynasty. From the king to the ordinary people, they yearned for everything about the Ming Dynasty.

For them, Daming is almost a paradise they know.

Every year, a large number of Koreans flock to Daming to make a living. In the past, their destination was Liaodong. Since Liaodong issued a ban on expelling foreigners, the destination of Koreans has become Shandong.

And the majority of Koreans who come out to make a living are women.

The consequence of this is that brothels in coastal cities in Shandong are overcrowded with Korean maidservants.

After occupying the coastal cities, these Koreans began to advance inland.

When Li Xiao left the capital, there were already several places in the capital called Pyongyang Pavilion or Koryo Pavilion.

It is said that these places are famous in the capital for their fair prices and considerate services.

Every day, it attracts a large number of old and young men from the capital to linger there.

Jing Zhaoyin is already preparing to impose heavy taxes on guests from these places!

In short, except for distant European countries, the whole world has to look up to the Ming Dynasty for its breath of life.

Even Europe, which has some industrialization, is far from the Ming Dynasty in terms of individual national strength.

Unless the whole of Europe unites, no country can compete with the Ming Empire.

Lifting up his binoculars, Li Xiao saw military vehicles roaring past one after another about five or six hundred meters in front of him.

He shook his head helplessly!

We have to admit that there is a price to pay.

The car that I named Jiefang has a maximum highway speed of only 60 kilometers per hour. However, it cannot always run to 60 kilometers per hour, otherwise the engine will boil.

Under normal circumstances, Jiefang trucks can only travel at an average speed of forty kilometers per hour.

This speed is still faster than a horse-drawn carriage, and certainly faster than an ox-cart.

The most valuable thing is that Jiefang cars can drive continuously. This is much better than horse-drawn carriages. No matter how strong a horse is, it is impossible for it to run 24 hours a day.

Not even on a flat road!

Behind the car are armored troops!

Finally there are infantry fighting vehicles and tanks!

On top of the light tank, there are still two twin 25mm rapid-fire cannons. The medium tank is much more powerful. The 105mm tank gun is majestic and scary to look at.

There is no such field fortification in the world that cannot be destroyed by tanks and artillery.

At least in the minds of most people, there is no concept of tanks. Even the existence of tanks is a secret of the Ming Dynasty.

At present, the Israelis only know the name of the tank, but no one knows what the tank is.

The last is the self-propelled artillery unit. This kind of thing has a large turret with a 120mm howitzer mounted on it. It weighs ten tons more than a tank.

There was originally a clear sky on the grassland, but after these things ran over, there seemed to be a layer of sandstorm in the sky.

The sprinkler truck modified by Jiefang Automobile continuously watered the ground.

However, if the ground is even an inch wet, the tank will crush it half a foot.

This is also the reason why Jiefang Automobile must go at the front. In this situation of extremely low visibility, a car accident can be fatal.

Especially those heavy equipment, the thick barrel can directly overturn the car.

We can't stay in this small patch of dirt, and there's not much to see. The dust has already obscured the entire convoy.

So much so that now Li Xiao can't tell clearly whether the thing running on the road is a car or a tank.

"Brother Xiao! Let's go, we can only eat ashes here. There will be an offensive and defensive drill tomorrow, that will be a fun experience." Man Ye put down the telescope.

There was a layer of dust on the telescope glass.

"Okay!" Li Xiao nodded, and the two of them got into the airship pod together.

"Haha! I knew you had to leave too and stay in that damn place to eat ashes." Mr. Ao, who had been sitting in the pod for a long time, was trying hard to deal with a roasted lamb leg.

A mouthful of lamb leg and a mouthful of wine, it was a very enjoyable meal.

Raising his glass was like saying hello to Mr. Li Xiaoman. As for Stewie, he didn't even bother to look at him.
