Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 18
Bai Mingxiu also wants to exchange for the blueprints of the Napoleon guns. This set of blueprints is divided into two types of field artillery, namely the 12-pound Napoleon gun and the 6-pound Napoleon gun. They have mature gun carriages. Although they are made of bronze, they are a bit heavy. , but compared with the "General" guns used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties at this stage, it is still much more flexible.

Just the drawings of a 6-pounder gun and a set of production equipment cost 16000 Goldfinger coins. The 12-pounder gun was more expensive, costing 20000 Goldfinger coins. Bai Mingxiu simply didn't have that much money now.

The remaining money in his hand directly spent 6000 coins in exchange for 2000 flintlock guns.These flintlock guns are also very good, and there is a seal engraving of Ming Dynasty Military Industry on the butt.

In order to make the origin of these muskets clearer, Bai Mingxiu released a 36-gun sail frigate on a dark and windy night, and put all the flintlock muskets on board.

It was already the second watch, so Li Sixing hurried to find his father and knocked on the door loudly.

"Father, there is a huge boat coming up the river. It comes from downstream, and it carries the flag of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Dingguo, who had already rested, turned over from the bed. He was startled at first, and then realized it immediately, and said, "It should be the giant boat of the people of the Ming Dynasty in Australia! I heard General Zhao say the day before yesterday that people from Australia will come to support one after another. , this should be their person."

Li Sixing was also curious, and asked, "I don't know how many of our citizens there are in Australia."

The so-called nonsense about Zheng He's fleet being exiled overseas and creating a new situation overseas by self-reliance was naturally made up by Bai Mingxiu himself.After the system asked him to colonize Australia's main task, Bai Mingxiu simply approached Zhao Xu and others to unify his statement, saying that Zheng He's remnants established a homeland in an extremely difficult overseas continent, calling it Australia. For 200 years, they wanted to return to their homeland, but they couldn't find the way.

Father and son Li Dingguo and Li Sixing arrived at the Awa Wharf, when Zhao Xu and Bai Mingxiu were already there.Someone from the frigate had already come down to salute Bai Ming.

Bai Mingxiu introduced to Li Dingguo with a smile: "King Jin, this is Lieutenant Colonel Tang Huiwen from Daming Australia, who came here specially to King Qin. This time he brought two thousand flintlock muskets made in Australia, and also brought blueprints and machines so we can manufacture firearms in Burma as well.”

Li Dingguo was overjoyed when he heard this.He had been inquiring about Australia in many ways these days, but Zhao Xu didn't reveal much.After all, what Zhao Xu said was what Bai Mingxiu told him.

Li Dingguo was also excited when he saw Kong Wu's powerful sailors disembarking with boxes of firearms.With the strong support of Daming Australia, the situation on their side can be greatly improved.However, Li Dingguo was even more curious. So far, Australia has sent only soldiers and no officials.And when they came, they directly took refuge in the prince's command, as if they had confirmed the prince.

Normal people will at least seek a reward or something, but Australians don't care about utilitarian matters and serve the court wholeheartedly. This kind of loyalty and courage is also admirable.

At this time, Bai Mingxiu also said to Li Dingguo: "The Australian ships are strong and powerful, and the soldiers are loyal and dedicated to the country. With the floating boats, we can communicate with the Zheng family in the southeast, southwest and southwest of Taiwan. We will raise the flag of righteousness, and half of the country will tremble." ."

Li Dingguo also nodded, deeply convinced.

At this time, Tang Huiwen, the captain of the frigate, proposed: "Prince, King Jin, my Australian Ming people have been kings for 200 years, and they no longer look north to their homeland all the time, hoping to receive the mighty grace of the emperor. Today, the Australian children , all enthusiastic and enthusiastic, looking forward to returning to the homeland to help the great cause of King Qin, to destroy the Qing Tutar, and to avenge the blood of the Han children. At the end of the day, I implore that the war in Myanmar will be peaceful, and His Majesty will move to Australia so that my Australian children can see the sky and comfort for 200 years. Overseas lonely hanging bare heart."

When Li Dingguo heard it, he hesitated at first.However, what Tang Huiwen said was actually not a problem.Now the "Australians" have become the most important force helping Nanming restore the country. Considering their own special circumstances, it is not surprising that they have such a plan.What's more, Li Dingguo really doesn't want to see Yongli now. If he is sent to Australia to raise him, it will be a good way out.

Li Dingguo's only concern is that the Australians will continue to coerce him, but judging from his current perception, Li Dingguo feels that the Australians cannot do such a thing.

At this time, Bai Mingxiu spoke first, and he said: "Lieutenant Colonel Tang, don't be busy, Wu Sangui's Tatar army will enter Burma in a few days, let's pass this hurdle first, and then discuss where the holy driver will go."

Tang Huiwen naturally listened to Bai Mingxiu, bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Bai Mingxiu said to Li Dingguo at this time: "With the muskets sent by Lieutenant Colonel Tang, we will reorganize the Ming army to increase our chances of winning. I suggest that from tomorrow on, we should recruit smart and capable people from all armies to form a new army, mainly firearms." , to train new tactics, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will cooperate with them in combat."

Li Dingguo knew that Bai Mingxiu's attitude towards this matter was very firm, and he was not worried that the prince would seize his military power, so he nodded in agreement.

The next day, Bai Wenxuan also came to Awa from the Yunnan-Myanmar border.Bai Wenxuan was also from the Daxi Army who followed Zhang Xianzhong's peasant uprising army, and later followed Sun Kewang, but later he and Li Dingguo fought against Sun Kewang, and had a very close relationship with Li Dingguo.

Originally, after the Curse Water disaster occurred in history, Bai Wenxuan and Li Dingguo intended to crusade against Burma and wanted to return to Yongli but failed.Bai Wenxuan's army was filled with an atmosphere of defeatism. His generals Zhang Guoyong and Zhao Desheng said: This place is smoky and many people have been injured. If we go deeper now, the climate will be hotter, and we will not stop dying.It is better to leave Yunnan than to be a Burmese ghost.

Bai Wenxuan was indecisive and was persuaded by his rebellious subordinates, and decided to surrender to the Qing army.Li Dingguo asked his son Li Sixing to chase him, but Zhang Guoyong and Zhao Desheng attacked Li Sixing instead, which made Bai Wenxuan very ashamed.Later, Bai Wenxuan was persuaded by Meng Ding to come to Wu San Provincial Headquarters and did not continue to Yunnan to surrender.However, it was already too late by that time. Yongli was subsequently handed over to Wu Sangui by the Burmese king, and Bai Wenxuan eventually defected to the Qing court.

Only this time, Bai Mingxiu was born out of nowhere, and even changed the world, captured Awa and took control of Burma.Li Dingguo made contributions with the prince first, and then he had to be appointed as the envoy of the very powerful Burmese Propaganda and Consolation Department.Bai Wenxuan originally stayed in Tin Foil, wanting to wait and see the definite news. After all, he couldn't believe what happened in Myanmar.But when the king of Myanmar was captured by the Ming army, and some chieftains from northern Myanmar also returned one after another at this time, saying that the Ming army was strong and Mangbai was killed by Prince Ming, Bai Wenxuan believed it and led his troops and population to A watt.
