While Wu Sangui was plotting intensively with Jierhalang, Li Xiao was receiving foreign friends. In fact, it is somewhat inaccurate to say that the foreign friends were Li Xiao's relatives.

Tokugawa Seimei is the most outstanding child among the new generation of the Tokugawa family. This time Tokugawa Ieyasu sent him to the Ming Dynasty with the intention of giving him some experience. He repeatedly told him to see more of the world after going out. Especially to

Seeing the weapons of the Liao army, the Tokugawa family was really frightened by Li Xiao during the fierce battles that year.

It happened that the Marine Corps was conducting an exercise. Tokugawa Seimei followed Li Xiao and saw the fierce firepower and effective tactics of the Liao army. What surprised Tokugawa Seimei the most was the thirty-tube rotating machine gun.

Although this thing was bulky and not suitable for marching, its firing rate of 180 rounds per minute still made Tokugawa Seimei grin from ear to ear. In the past, I only knew that the Takeda family’s cavalry was powerful. When tens of thousands of cavalry charged into battle, then

The momentum is like overwhelming mountains and seas.

But now that we see thirty machine guns, the Takeda cavalry is a joke. Not to mention tens of thousands of cavalry, even a hundred thousand cavalry launch a charge together. Under such artillery fire and dense rain of bullets from the Liao army, it is impossible for one person to do so.

He rode up to the Liao army's formation.

As the leader of the younger generation of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Seimei knew that the era of cavalry was over. The future belonged to artillery, and the future belonged to infantry.

"There is no other meaning in sending people from the Tokugawa family this time. Go back and tell your grandfather that I want to send this Marine Corps to Nanyang. If your Japanese country is also willing to send troops, I can allocate you a piece of land in the future. Get it there

The benefits will also be shared by you.

You also know that the South China Sea is the only way for our Ming Dynasty, your Japanese country, and Korean maritime merchants. Even if there is no toll, those ships always have to replenish fresh water and food. Some goods can even be unloaded in the South China Sea. Then by other people

The ships were transferred to the Ming Dynasty, or to your country of Japan and Korea.

The goods of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, and Japan can also be unloaded in the South China Sea and sent to the Middle East and Africa by special ocean-going ships to be sold to the Arabs. In this way, the transportation capacity will be greatly increased. For everyone

Good thing!

In the future, we will build a Strait Castle on the Strait. There will be forts in the castle, and there will naturally be garrison troops. Moreover, I will also give you the right to build a castle on the opposite side. In this way, the Strait will be jointly controlled by our two families.

.Of course, you must station troops in the strait. And..., your troops must accept our command."

Since he was a relative of his own, Li Xiao, the brother-in-law, did not hide it and explained the matter clearly as if he were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

"Commander, I will definitely let grandpa know about your words. Grandpa has been in poor health these years, and uncle Katsuyori is in charge of the affairs of the Japanese country. There is one more thing to report to the commander. Lord Mouri Terumoto has already passed away two years ago.

He passed away a few months ago. The Mouri Domain is now succeeded by the feudal lord, Mouri Hidetada!"

"Maori Huimoto is dead?" Li Xiao was very surprised, but he was relieved when he thought that Maori Huimoto was ninety years old.

Inadvertently, Li Xiao saw a cunning flash in Tokugawa Seimei's eyes.

Damn it, this little fox hasn't even grown its fur yet, and it's trying to sow discord between the Maori clan and itself.

Logically speaking, since the death of Mouri Terumoto was such a big deal, Mouri Hidetada should send someone to Ming Dynasty to inform Li Xiao. Not only did no one as big as a rabbit come, but even the news was told to him by members of the Tokugawa family.

Could it be that the Maori family does not want to continue to maintain an alliance with Li Xiao?

"I know about this!" Li Xiao said coldly. He felt a sense of disgust towards Tokugawa Seimei in his heart.

Tokugawa Seimei never dreamed that his future would be ruined just because of one of his intentionally garrulous words!

"Take my words to Mr. Tokugawa Ieyasu. The next time you come to Ming Dynasty, ask Tokugawa Katsuyori to be replaced by someone who understands etiquette. Now, take your boat back. Tell Tokugawa Katsuyori that I need to get him as soon as possible.

Reply. If Japan decides to send troops and sends 10,000 soldiers to Qinhuangdao before September, I will also see how good they are." After Li Xiao added, without looking at Tokugawa Seimei's wonderful face, he led a large group of

The minions walked straight to the beach to check the equipment from the exercise just now.

"Commander! Marshal...!" Tokugawa Seimei was so horrified that Li Xiao actually left him alone and ignored him. The arrogant Tokugawa Seimei was almost so angry that he vomited blood, but looking at the beach

Facing those lively soldiers, Tokugawa Seimei had to suppress his depression back into his body.

To the Japanese country, the Ming Dynasty was like a ferocious tiger, and the Japanese country was just a wolf in front of the tiger.

Wolves cannot fight against tigers, especially when there are more tigers than wolves.

Li Xiao didn't even look at Tokugawa Seimei. He didn't want to see you Japanese people. He didn't expect that he would dare to play tricks on me. If he didn't bully you, would he be pretending to be me?

If it hadn't been for this time, it would have been necessary for you Japanese people to stir up hatred and kill people, so that you wouldn't have been given the opportunity to go to Nanyang to reap benefits.

The training of the Marine Corps will take some time. Sending soldiers who have not been strictly trained to the battlefield is an act of disregard for human life. Li Xiao has never allowed this kind of thing to happen in his own team, and the current South China Sea should be typhoon-ridden.

Season. Even giant ships like Zhenyuan and Dingyuan are definitely no match for the violent nature.

The most suitable time is winter, when there are almost no typhoons in the South China Sea. Moreover, the weather in Temasek is not that hot. Most of Li Xiu's soldiers are from the north, and they have to adapt to the hot climate for a while.

"Health regulations must be strictly enforced. You are not allowed to drink unboiled water. The entire army must be equipped with mosquito nets, and if possible, must take a bath every day." Li Xiao warned Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo behind him as he walked.

Temasek is a tropical place with a warm and humid climate all year round, making it an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. Li Xiao even heard that there is a kind of bug that can burrow into human skin and lay eggs. When he thinks of maggot-like things coming out of the body

After getting out, Li Xiao felt numbness on his back.

Li Xiao is not worried about Japan sending troops. Whether it is the Maori family or the Tokugawa family, they all know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They go to Nanyang to make money, and this kind of good thing usually involves breaking their heads and squeezing forward. Only fools will let it go.

Such an opportunity to reap benefits!

The three-story building in a row on the seaside is the barracks of the Marine Corps. It is a standard eight-person room, and one class occupies one dormitory. Looking at the neatly folded quilts, Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

Internal military content is the most important thing for soldiers, and it is what Li Xiao has always advocated. Unfortunately, the effect has not been good so far, especially in the troops of Ao Canghai and Man Gui. The dormitories are only better than pig nests.

According to the two of them, as long as the soldiers can fight.

What makes Li Xiao helpless is that the worst division in the internal affairs army is actually the most powerful unit in the army. This is not just because of their good equipment, but also because of their warlike spirit.

As long as they heard that there was a war, the entire First Division was as excited as chicken blood. Everyone was gearing up, and Li Xiao had seen this many times. A company of soldiers from the First Division, holding rifles with bayonets in their hands, said "Ouch" "

"Ouch!" and charge. Those in front will be hit by bullets and fall to the ground, while those behind will step on the bodies of their brothers and continue to charge. The charge will never stop until the last person falls.

This kind of madness is rare in other troops. This may be related to the bloody battle between the First Division and the Tatars at Daling River.

The atmosphere of an army has a lot to do with the chief officer! The first division is characterized by ferocity, and the first cavalry division is characterized by toughness. The second division appears to be a bit formal because of Yuan Chonghuan. The officers are more dogmatic in obeying orders, and they will do whatever it takes.
