Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1057
It is not an easy task to lead a race stuck in the Stone Age out of barbarism and towards civilization. "History of the Founding of the United Arab Emirates" describes Yao Chonggu and his party as omnipotent envoys who created a new world on the North American continent in just seven days. The use of such tools... These knowledge and skills are too unfamiliar to Indians, and they must spend a long time learning slowly.The most troublesome thing is the language barrier, and language is a crucial carrier for knowledge inheritance. If you don’t understand the language, are you just playing around?Yao Chonggu has no better way to do this. He can only transfer some Indians from South America. The level of civilization in South America is higher than here. Indians how to farm, how to make metallurgy, how to make all kinds of necessary tools, and let the Indians in South America teach the Indians in North America.He also built a school to drive all those children into the school, starting from language and mathematics. It is difficult for adults to learn these things, they can only imitate, but children still have unlimited possibilities. When these children grow up After that, the fusion becomes smoother.

In fact, North America has also had farming. If there is a choice, no race would like such a hard life of grazing and hunting. The Indians in North America have already tried farming.It’s just that they are very hardworking and have never mastered the technology of metal smelting and forging. They can only use primitive stone and wooden farm tools for farming. The efficiency is pitifully low and they are completely dependent on the sky. It is almost randomly played. Today is more than 30 degrees, and tomorrow it may drop to six or seven degrees for you. The Indians who stayed in the Stone Age were unable to resist such drastic climate changes, and the progress of farming civilization was repeatedly interrupted.When the weather is good, they develop farming, and when the weather turns cold, they switch to hunting and gathering, which is a dead cycle.The arrival of Yao Chonggu helped them make up for the most fatal shortcoming. They had metallurgical technology and could manufacture enough iron farm tools, and their productivity ushered in a wave of blowout development.Yao Chonggu introduced wheat, potatoes, corn and other crops to North America, and the fire of farming civilization was ignited again. This time, the Indians would not let it go out again.

It took Yao Chonggu a total of six years to sort out these messy things. During these six years, he devoted countless efforts to this land, and his contributions exceeded any other Indian religious beliefs. A god, the Indians regard him as their divine messenger, and he deserves that title.Although the divine messenger repeatedly emphasized that he was just an ordinary person, no Indian would believe this.

Let Yao Chonggu stay in the American continent first and lead the Indians out of the barrenness, step by step to achieve his way of envoy, and we will turn our attention to the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Yang Menglong didn't even bring the imperial decree, so he took a group of soldiers and sailed down the river from Wuhan to Guangzhou.

At this time, Guangzhou has become an extremely prosperous international city, with cane sugar from Hainan, high-quality rice and flax produced in Hunan and Hubei, steel, fertilizers, and rock salt from the Heluo area, wood and herbs from Guangxi, fruits from Guangdong, and more. There are various goods from foreign merchants, most of which go to sea or are sold domestically via Guangzhou.Maritime commercial routes with Europe and the Middle East have been opened. More and more people in Guangzhou and Chaoshan are choosing to go overseas for business. At the same time, more and more merchants from Europe and the Middle East are coming to Guangzhou for business. The whole of Guangzhou is almost changing every day. .

Life in Guangzhou is undoubtedly becoming more comfortable and prosperous, but the more than [-] tiger and wolf teachers under the command of the Guangzhou Metropolitan Government are very dissatisfied with this kind of life.No, as soon as I saw my old boss Han Peng, I couldn't wait to start complaining:

"It's boring, it's so boring! The troops of the two legions are thrown here, and they drink the sea breeze all day except for training. It's boring to death! At the beginning, there were conflicts between the aboriginals and immigrants that needed us to deal with it, but the Governor's Mansion is very busy. Hurry up and sue us for exceeding our authority, and they will use coercion to mediate, and these conflicts will be resolved quickly! Now we are looking for pirates to fight around, and after we knocked out a few, the pirates learned to behave and hid in Nanyang By the way, we can’t reach them anymore! My two regiment commanders and a bunch of officers have been yelling in my ears that I’m too idle, my bones are going to rust, and some people even said strange things!”

Yang Menglong asked: "What strange words?"

Han Peng said: "They say that there is the Annan Governor's Mansion on the Annan side, and there is a naval fleet on the sea, and no enemy can be found in the southeast, northwest, and south. I really don't know the significance of establishing the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion!"

Yang Menglong scratched his head, eh, what a big problem.The Indochina Peninsula is the territory of the Annan Governor's Palace. Wang Rui and Qin Mai have taken over the entire Mekong Delta, annexed Champa, and are sharpening their knives against Chenla. The Annan people were frightened by the bloody massacre of the barbarian army. Emboldened, they fled into Zhenla in a swarm. They jumped over the wall and defeated the Zhenla army...Obviously, facing such a weakling, the Annan Governor's Mansion with all the people in the army could handle it with one hand, and there was no need for Guangzhou. The Chengdu Governor's Office; Yunnan has conflicts with Myanmar from time to time. The so-called conflict is that the Chengdu Governor's Office sees the opportunity and crosses the border to attack Burma once, and returns home plundered. Then, the Chengdu Governor's Office seizes the opportunity and attacks him again, torturing Myanmar to the climax. After all, there is definitely no need for the Guangzhou Governor's Office in this direction; as for Fujian and Hunan, the situation is calm, let alone the Guangzhou Governor's Office. Therefore, with two legions, the Guangzhou Governor's Office can be said to be powerful, no matter where it is. The directions are useless. Apart from training, I just drink the sea breeze, which makes my hair grow.If time goes back 30 years, Ming soldiers would only dream of such a day, but it is different now. It had only been two or three years since the founding of the Longwu Dynasty. The smoke of that thrilling battle has not yet cleared, and countless talents are bleeding on the mountain of corpses. They struggled to crawl out of the sea. They were eager to open up new territories and make achievements. Letting them stay at the seaside doing nothing would be even more uncomfortable than killing them!
I really envy the frontier army... The frontier army is really bored and can go to the neighboring countries to find trouble, and suddenly send troops to attack a few cities and grab a few pieces of land. Those days are very exciting. How can they be like them? Free as hell!
Yang Menglong squeezed his chin and said: "This... Your Guangzhou Metropolitan Government's status is a bit special. Usually, there is no need for you. When you really need to use you, the world will be in chaos, so you guard Guangdong and Guangxi. , Fujian, Taiwan and Hainan are considered a great achievement, don't think about opening up territories or anything!"

Han Peng looked resentful: "That is to say, the more than [-] elite soldiers of my Guangzhou Metropolitan Mansion can only serve as mascots?" Suddenly he stared at Yang Menglong with green eyes, showing a flattering smile: "Marshal, your expedition to Tianzhu this time, There must be a shortage of infantry, right?"

Yang Menglong shook his head: "No shortage."

Han Peng's smiling face froze: "How is that possible? What you want to attack is a large country with a large population and hundreds of thousands of troops. How can you have no shortage of infantry?"

Yang Menglong said: "With [-] warships and [-] soldiers, I can sweep Tianzhu around. How can there be no infantry?"

Han Peng was anxious: "How can only 7000 people be enough? You must be short of infantry, you must be very short of infantry, I have a legion here that is looking for flies to fight around, just in time..."

Yang Menglong shook his head: "There is really no shortage of infantry! I'm just going to grab money and land, not to destroy the country. Why do I need so many people?"

Han Peng waved his arms and said, "An extra soldier means more strength! Boss, please help us and give us a chance at the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to recruit soldiers in the future!"

Yang Menglong thought so too. The armies in the Northeast, Mongolia, Northwest, and Southwest directions were all expanding their territory, and news of success was spreading frequently. The Guangzhou Dudu Mansion was sitting idle in South China. This contrast was too great.The recruits are all passionate youths, they are naturally eager to make achievements, and if they want to make achievements, of course they have to go to the frontier, stay here in Guangzhou and do nothing to make achievements!All the governor's mansions have more or less been on the battlefield in the past two years, and only the governor's mansion in Guangzhou has not.Thinking of this, he said: "Okay, I will write to the imperial court, and I will transfer a legion from the Guangzhou Dudu Mansion, together with a total of 2 soldiers from the three armies, and put them into the Tianzhu battlefield..."

Han Peng cheered: "Thank you, boss! I'm going to prepare ships, food, equipment and supplies!"

Yang Menglong quickly drafted a document requesting the transfer of troops from the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion.According to the original plan, he planned to mobilize 1 troops from the three armed forces, but now he is mobilizing troops from the Guangzhou Dudufu, which is a bit unexpected.

Thanks to the more and more complete post roads, his letter was delivered to the cabinet in just five days.

Five days later, he received a reply from the cabinet: "Yes!"

There's nothing to say about this efficiency!

Yang Menglong was also very efficient. It only took half a month to mobilize [-] warships, four of which were experimental and equipped with steam engines. They were full of smoke when they ran, which was unpleasant to watch, but they were fast.At the same time, the seven thousand and three army members had also assembled, and they were waiting for his order.

Han Peng was more efficient. It only took half a month to mobilize more than 200 large merchant ships. With so many ships, it was more than enough to carry two legions.So the old man unceremoniously stuffed 8000 people on board, and faced Yang Menglong's questioning gaze, the guy didn't change his face: "Strengthen the legion, temporarily strengthened!"

Yang Menglong really wanted to throw him into the sea to feed the fish... Your family's reinforced army strengthened half of the army in one go?Considering that the army of the Guangzhou Dudufu was really boring, he didn't drive the extra 6000 troops off the ship.

The entire fleet brought as much medicine and ammunition as possible, and only two months' share of food, which can be regarded as traveling lightly.The reason why Yang Menglong dared to do this is that India itself is a big agricultural country, and the Ganges Plain is rich in rice, and it is grown three times a year. As long as their attack speed exceeds the speed of the Indians' fortifying the walls and clearing the fields, they will never worry about running out of food.Moreover, Han Peng also hired a large number of sea merchants and contracted them the business of transporting military supplies. With these sea merchants, the army would never be hungry.

Everything was ready, Yang Menglong gave an order, and the huge fleet poured out from the port, entered the South China Sea, and headed straight for the Strait of Malacca.

This time Marshal Yang obviously didn't choose a good day. Soon after the fleet set off, the sky became dark, dark clouds collided and collided with each other, making deafening noises, and whips of thunder were violently slashed, splitting the sky.The wind on the sea is getting stronger and stronger. Groups of wave peaks rush towards the fleet like a charge, throwing huge warships up and down as toys, and may sink them at any time. No matter how powerful a hero is, facing this world Wei, there will always be a sense of powerlessness in my heart.However, the officers and soldiers of the Guangzhou Dudufu who were on the expedition were full of enthusiasm. Every time the warship fell from the crest of the waves, they would happily scream, isn't it a bit familiar?Yes, children playing roller coasters in the park is such a performance.The head of the army, Han Suquan, didn't change his face: "Ah, this calm weather is really boring!"

Calm?

The mouth corners of a certain pale landlubber twitched.If this kind of weather is also called calm, what kind of weather is called high wind and rough sea?Is it necessary for a 90-meter-high tsunami to overwhelm you before you think it is dangerous?
Amidst the laughter of the Cantonese soldiers who kept saying "your mother", under the roar of the wind and waves and the roar of thunder, the huge fleet is like an extremely sharp long sword, cutting through the dark sea and tearing apart the white rain. , Go forward bravely, the goal is always the distant South Asian subcontinent.

When a shining star landed on the American continent, bringing a glimmer of hope to the Indians on the American continent, the South Asian subcontinent also welcomed a shining star.

Unfortunately, it is a disaster star.
