Beiyang new warlord

.........

On the other side, at Annan Haiphong Port tens of thousands of kilometers away, Luo Yu was also flipping through the documents in a room where the glass was all over the floor.

It's just different from Emperor Mao's calmness. She is excited and distressed. What is in front of her is a bright yellow imperial decree. In Mao Jue's era, there was no House of Internal Affairs or Shaofu. The imperial decree is a similar substitute. It was issued by the Imperial Property Committee, which was completely different from the way of operation. The content was engagement, and Luo Yu was recruited as the No. 7 concubine of His Majesty the Northern Ming Emperor.

It was hesitant but expected. The head of the Luo family, her eldest cousin Luo Ning, became a sinner of the company. To some extent, she even betrayed the empire. However, the Luo family was still thriving in the East India Company. The use of the Luo family in his most important career is largely due to the love between him and Luo Ning at the beginning. Now that this fetter is gone, Mao Jue has only two choices, or risk a serious injury and bleeding. It is dangerous to completely eradicate the Luo family, or deal with Luo Ning's defection in a low-key manner, and then re-select a daughter in the Luo family for marriage.

It seems that she, Luo Yu, has been honored with this honor and has become the marriage bond of the family.

For a gifted girl in her early twenties, she was deprived of the right to love at a young age, and her marital happiness for the rest of her life has already been settled, which is considered unfortunate!But this has nothing to do with love, a marriage purely as an exchange of benefits, Luo Yu does not reject it while hesitating.

On the one hand, she can be regarded as an old Liaodong family. After the Hangzhou incident in the seventh year of Chongzhen, some Luo family members were sent as hostages to Liaodong. Forming the East India Company, this was the opportunity for her to be transferred back as both the Luo family and the Liaodong family, and was allocated equity to become a shareholder director, in charge of business affairs in the five southeastern countries. Mao Jue was the leader of her faction, except for the big age gap. , Marrying him is not why I feel conflicted.

In particular, the value of this marriage is large enough. The eight gunboats of the East India Company and a 75-meter dragon-class battleship of the Royal Fleet of the Imperial Capital are parked in the port beside me. What makes her even more excited is that the company granted her full power, even if it is such a national power to start a war and form an alliance. In the entire East India Company, there were only two people who enjoyed such power before, and they were in command of the Maratha ministries and the central government in the Mughal Empire. Bang fights against Zhu Wang Wu Sangui, the king of Zhu, who controls Malacca, and his tentacles extend south to the pirate king Zheng Sen, who is said to be another new continent.

Now she, Su Yu, has also become a big shot who controls the power of several countries!The red book she is holding in her hand is the power of attorney with the private seal of Mao Jue's major shareholder and the seals of all the members of the board of directors.

"Sister Yu! Sister Yu!"

Just when Luo Yu was holding the red book and looking at the yellow book in a daze, there was a sudden shout at the door, and this girl Chu Tian was like crazy, bouncing and bouncing Er'er pushed the door open and came in, shouting excitedly: "I don't know why, those who besieged the company's port just now were all driven away by the guards of Annan City, and then the head of the city guards sent someone to send a letter. I want to invite Sister Yu over to the house for a talk!"

Finally came back to his senses, Luo Yu's pretty face showed a wave of contempt!This morning, four mercenary regiments and nine battleships arrived at Haiphong Port, holding a huge military force in their hands. She hoped that Ruan Yue would continue to wrestle with her, so that she could vent the anger that had been aired for several days. .

"See him? Send someone to the Haiphong Protectorate to send Ruan Yuelian here to see me!"

"Here we go, sir!"

Hearing these tough words, Chu Tian agreed with excitement, twisted her buttocks and wanted to run out in a hurry, but before she could run a few steps, Luo Yu's call came from behind.

"Wait first! Go out and help me choose a veil, a bigger one!"

"The veil? Sister, don't you hate that stuffy thing the most?"

"Your sister, I'm married! I have to wear it even if I hate it!"

This time, Chu Tian really acted like she saw a ghost, watching in amazement the reddish Luo Yu drilled twice, and then put her little hand on Luo Yu's fair forehead.

"Don't you have a fever? Could it be that you ran into a water ghost?"

"What nonsense?"

He slapped the girl's little hand away, and suddenly, Luo Yu took the yellow imperial decree again with great pride: "See, your majesty's letter of appointment, your sister and I are also imperial concubines!"

Her eyes were wide open, and Chu Tian's slender chin almost fell off in surprise.

.........

Since the age of great voyages, legendary companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, but no company can reach the height of the British East India Company, because the British East India Company has achieved a feat that all companies have not achieved. Completed the dimension reduction strike as a company, stood above the country, and destroyed the entire Mughal Empire.

In this time and space, the British East India Company put another prefix on the front. Compared with the East India Company in history, it launched its great and despicable road of conquest 100 years earlier. Not to mention, the appetite is even bigger. Son, while fighting endlessly with the Mughal Empire, he also played a black hand against the ancient five countries on the Indochina Peninsula.

What is the most suitable thing to do after the economic crisis?Best for war!

On July 21, after a secret meeting with Annan’s power minister Nguyen Viet Lien in Haiphong Port, on July 25, Luo Yu ordered the withdrawal of the Central South Headquarters of the East India Company in Champa, and relocated it to Da’an, which is not far away but belongs to Annan. In Hong Kong, following July [-], the Annan Metropolitan Government, in the name of rebellious and persecuting businessmen from the Celestial Dynasty, killed the Bigu County in Champa with great fanfare.

Because of the failure of the East India Company near Haiphong, many tent workers turned into deflated, which happened to serve as a source of troops for the Southern Expedition. At the new East India Company headquarters in Da Nang, Luo Yu also signed the latest big deal this year. The list, a total of 50 taels of military purchases, was used to purchase matchlock guns, general guns, armor swords, spear chariots and other weapons and military supplies from Ming Dynasty.

All of a sudden, Zhanwang Pan Luonai and Zhanxiang Gasol, who had been conniving to attack the East India Company to expel the company's influence, panicked. After all, for more than 100 years, the war between Zhan people and Yue people However, after repeated battles and repeated defeats, almost all the land in the south, north and west has been lost. Even decades ago, they relied on asking for help from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army sent troops to contain the Yue people. After being driven away, the Yue people called again. The royal family of Champa simply said that they should not respond every day, and the land was not working. King Xiang Gasol, who refused to meet the East India Company for a month and a half, went to Da Nang by sailing boat in person. He wanted to cry and beg the East India Company representing Daming for help in mediating, but who knew that he was in vain here.

Miss Luo Yu was not at home, shopkeeper Liu, who had been turned away six times in a row, smiled honestly and shrugged, he couldn't decide, why don't you just wait?

It really makes you ignore my love in the future, and make you unable to climb up today!

But Luo Yu didn't miss him on purpose when he arrived, the eldest lady really has something to do!On July [-]th, the Bangkok branch of Siam was officially expelled by the Sukhothai Dynasty. Although the company branch had already stopped its activities and its members were ready to evacuate at any time, they were on standby on the company's merchant ship In fact, there are still a large number of properties seized and plundered by the Siamese government in the branch. It is said that even the office building was confiscated by Taida Phraya, who was entrusted here by Sukhothai, as the Governor's Mansion.

This is simply a direct hit to the muzzle!

Luo Yu, who had just been granted military authority by the company, was like a little girl who had been robbed of candy. As soon as one end signed a military purchase deal with Annan, the other end immediately took the newly acquired fleet and sailed southward in a threatening manner, sailing offshore for eight days. First captured Siam's Qiang Island and Sattahip in the outer corner of the Gulf of Siam. On August [-], the nine East India Company gunboats that were almost armed to the teeth reached the edge of Bangkok again.

To be honest, the artillery level of the Ming battleship at this time is still a few decades behind the British naval artillery during the First Opium War, but the Siamese Dynasty’s armament level is at least 800 times worse than that of the Qing army in that era. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the people of Champa defeated the Angkor dynasty that once unified most of the Indochina Peninsula by learning the cavalry and archery tactics of the Central Plains. The current Sukhothai dynasty is climbing on the corpse of the Angkor dynasty. It is conceivable that it lags behind.

Firearms, yes!Some Spaniards and Dutch brought them, and they are not rare to use matchlock guns. The remaining long-range weapons are only bows and arrows. As for armor, in hot climates, Thai soldiers basically do not wear armor, only some generals and nobles can wear it Put on a piece of armor that is full of Buddhist taste and is far more decorative than practical. Most of the remaining soldiers and horses are shirtless.

The fall of Sattahip made the Siamese army somewhat prepared. Soldiers and horses were densely arranged on the edge of the port. At about ten o'clock in the morning, the fleet entered the depths of Bangkok Bay, wearing a three-cornered hat from the age of navigation. Luo Yu looked at the land like a pirate with a stretched binoculars, but by coincidence, it happened that a big man with chest hair caught her eyes first, and the hot weather made this guy straight up. Sweating, even holding a big knife and yelling non-stop, beads of sweat trickled down his long and thick armpit hair, making Luo Yu sick at a glance.

Throwing the binoculars directly, the eldest lady covered her mouth and hid back, while waving her hands angrily: "Fire! Just fire!"

Amidst the creaking sound, the heavy gun bay windows were slowly pulled up by iron chains, followed by the three-and-a-half-meter-long gun rails. from the muzzle.

bang ~ bang ~

It was like hearing a muffled thunder. On the sea level, large expanses of white smoke floated up, and the eardrums began to itch violently. Under the astonished gazes of a group of shirtless men with their feet scratched, small black dots appeared on them. The pupils dilated a little bit.

In the five Central and South countries, the three were involved in Luo Yu's crazy plan again!

Chapter 837. War monger

Chapter 837. War monger

Why are later generations of Iron Man so rich?His family sells arms, and it happened to catch up with the big arms market of World War I and World War II!The accumulated silver belongs to Haihai!Even when he met Iron Man Stark, the prodigal son, he didn't completely ruin his family, which shows how strong his family is!

This is reflected from another aspect, being a warmonger is really profitable!

Here Luo Yu made a copy of the Humen War, but this time he played the role of a disgraceful invader and became a Ming mercenary!It's really a woman who is so ruthless that she even beats herself. After being attacked by artillery fire, part of the Siamese army retreated into the small three-story concrete building of the East India Company in the port in an attempt to avoid it. As a result, Luo Yu roared and fired five more rounds of heavy artillery , The small building was also blown down, and then it stopped.

Shrapnel shells and solid shells were fired alternately. After more than two hours of shelling, the city of Bangkok, which was considered a scene in the south-central region, was now turned into a hornet's nest. Small buildings made of bamboo and wood collapsed, and the streets were in a mess. The house was also on fire.

In the Opium War, 80 Qing troops were defeated by more than 2 British troops. It was because their morale was so low that the Eight Banners Army was so bad that they dared not fight. They all counted on the Green Battalion to take the lead, and the Green Battalion was originally the equipment treatment of the Qing Army. The worst treatment, who is willing to work hard for you, Master Baqi?They are still willing to shoot muskets at each other from a long distance, but when the British devils really charge up with bayonets, they just run away.

At this time, the Ayutthaya Dynasty of Siam has also experienced a history of more than 300 years. It also reached the middle and late stages of the dynasty. The wealth was highly concentrated in the hands of the tribal leaders Pomeng and Pomu. How much the Qing army robbed in the late Qing Dynasty, the garrison of tens of thousands of people collapsed and fled when the second round of shelling began. Apart from leaving more than 100 unlucky ghosts who were killed by cannonballs, there was no one to guard this place. important seaport city.

The sound of heavy objects falling into the water sounded, and the United East India Company mercenary commando selected from the veterans sat on the assault boat with a flintlock gun, carefully aiming at the tidal flat first, and occupied the half-collapsed The company building, and then those heavy ships leaned on the well-dug deep-water port one after another, lowered the landing ladder, and the brigade rushed off the ship.

Counting No.14 after being kicked out of Bangkok, the Ming United East India Company once again set foot in this Siamese town.

Luo Yu experienced the brutal Iron Mountain defense battle when she was a child, and was conscripted to help transport the army's logistics and food during school. Dongjiang is full of weirdos, but she, a girl, has been in contact with the battlefield earlier than men. Miss Luo's family didn't feel the slightest bit about the gut-piercing Siamese defenders. Instead, she looked at the office building of the East India Company that she ordered to be demolished. This girl gasped in distress. As the second batch came off the boat, she stomped her boots in distress.

"The building is completely unusable. It will take three months to clean up the rubble and rebuild it. How much money will it cost? These goddamn Siamese barbarians can't hide anywhere. They have to hide in the company building! "

Following behind Luo Yu, the assistant Chu Tian behaved quite normally. She huddled behind the cloak of Miss Luo's family all the way, looking at the battlefield tremblingly. There is a big hole, but the Siamese defender who turned his back and turned his head downwards, his bloody tongue licking at the elder, came into her eyes ferociously.

Trembling with fright, she tugged Luo Yu's sleeve heavily.

"Sister..., dead man!"

But Luo Yu's reaction almost didn't make this girl so depressed that she vomited blood. She really didn't expect that the eldest lady who knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, antiques and porcelain on weekdays would have this side!Hearing her fearful reminder, Luo Yu slapped his head suddenly, and shouted as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Yes, come on, gather up these corpses and throw them into the sea. Where is accountant Liu? I will make a list later." Come on, when you ask for compensation from the Siamese, plus the corpse disposal fee, it will be calculated as 5000 taels!"

Chu Tian: "..."
