The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Considering that there is currently no ability to manufacture light bulbs, the number of light bulbs purchased from the Miracle Market is not large.

Therefore, electric lights currently do not enter every household, and can only guarantee the lighting of the palace and streets in the city.

However, this directly resulted in the streets of Manila being much more lively at night than residents’ own homes!

Some clever vendors immediately seized the opportunity to start small businesses, and the night market in Manila came into being.

Zhu Heyi is naturally happy to see this. Compared with the deserted nights before, the city of Manila now smells more like fireworks.

A few days later, the Miracle Market of the new week was refreshed, and Zhu Heyi couldn't wait to open it. Unfortunately, there were no good things. Except for a few old-fashioned red cannons, the other products were just food. It was in vain that he had expected so much. sky.

However, with so many goods purchased before, his Ming Empire was basically on the right track.

The mercury fulminate factory has begun production, and the corresponding bullet production line has also begun construction.

The Mauser G98 rifle and the Min-20 mortar were thrown to the arsenal to start the imitation work.

The development of new barrel artillery and radio stations were left to the special talents he recruited from the military camp at a cost of 10 silver.

It is foreseeable that after all the above things are taken care of, the combat power of the Ming army will rise to a quite terrifying level.

In addition, Li Zhenhua and Su Qiyi's suppression troops had also withdrawn two days ago.

Except for the 1000 people they took away to escort the captive Zhu Heyu, only 5000 of their remaining 2000 soldiers and horses came back.

Of course, the few 3000 people were not lost in the battle, but were left behind in captured cities and towns everywhere.

There were dozens of people at least, hundreds of people at most.

Throughout the war, due to its crushing training and equipment advantages, the Ming army's losses were not large. Counting the foreign legions, which accounted for most of the casualties, the total casualties of the Ming army did not exceed 1000 after this series of battles. people.

And the Ming army’s purge target?

According to incomplete statistics, the number of direct deaths among indigenous people exceeds 10!The injured were countless.

The Japanese people had a great deal of credit for causing so many casualties among the natives. Although their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Ming army, they were merciless in killing the natives who had no clothes to wear.

The Spaniards were better off, because their population was not large, and each one surrendered faster than the other. Their casualties were only more than 1000.

Half of this is caused by indigenous people.

This time, Li Zhenhua and the others did not escort the prisoners back.Instead, according to Zhu Heyu's previous order, the indigenous people were asked to start repairing the road nearby.

Zhu Heyi naturally understands the principle of building roads first if you want to get rich. Although the current production capacity of the cement factory is definitely not enough for the entire island, this does not prevent the indigenous people from laying down the roadbed and smoothing the road surface first. After that, the cement production capacity will increase. Just lay a layer of concrete on the surface.

Although the army did not bring back the prisoners, they got back all the money.

However, compared with Manila City, these small places have much less oil and water.

After capturing so many places, the total gold and silver seized only added 200 million to his treasury. Other jewelry and ivory could not be included in the system treasury, so he could only find opportunities to sell them to European businessmen.

Speaking of which, the batch of jewelry ivory he seized last time is still piled in the warehouse...

After the troops returned, Zhu Heyu did not give any further orders for them to continue southward to eliminate the remaining Spanish and indigenous forces.

Continuing further south, there is no large-scale opposition force, and the indigenous people scattered in the rain forest are no longer worthy of the Ming army's dispatch.

Moreover, the new military uniforms have begun mass production, and he is eager to see the effect of the Ming army's change of uniforms.

The new military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty were copied by Emperor Zhu Da personally. Their styles are basically the same as the 07-style military uniforms of the previous Republic of China, but the military types are slightly different. They are divided into army uniforms, navy uniforms and Jinyiwei uniforms.

The three sets of military uniforms are divided into regular dress uniforms and training uniforms. The army uniforms are mainly grass green, the navy ones are white, and the Jinyiwei uniforms are black.

Now that modern military uniforms are available, armor will be completely retired.

With the rapid development of firearms, the power of firearms has become more and more powerful, and armor can no longer block bullets. In addition to adding weight to oneself, wearing this thing can no longer play a protective role.

Another point is that he is wearing a modern military uniform with a suit of iron armor on top. Doesn't he seem to be violating the law?

Under Zhu Heyi's instructions, the entire army quickly changed into this new military uniform. The straight waisted dress and the big-brimmed hat made them look as handsome as possible.

It is worth mentioning that Zhu Heyi did not order the entire army to cut off their long hair.

When wearing a training cap, soldiers can put their hair through the hole at the back end of the training cap. When wearing a large-brimmed hat, their hair can only be pressed under the hat.

Of course, although he did not impose any requirements on hair, if you get a head injury on the battlefield, you can only say sorry.

……

As an important supply point on the northern route, Manila Port has many merchant ships coming and going every day.

There are Portuguese ones, Dutch ones, French ones, British ones.

However, on this day, a special British merchant ship came to the busy dock.

That’s not right!

This ship is just an ordinary armed Galenic merchant ship, with nothing special about its appearance.

But the family flag hanging on its mast and the people disembarking from the ship were anything but ordinary.

"Is this the Ming Dynasty? After waiting for such a long time, it's finally here!" Earl Argyle sighed as he looked at the busy dock in front of him.

While treating his eldest son in Singapore, he gradually learned many legends about the Ming Dynasty through the passing merchant ships, and also saw many magical products from the Ming Dynasty.

The longer he waited, the more he heard, and the more he yearned for the Ming Dynasty.

Now, he is finally here.

While the Earl of Argyll was still sighing, a plainclothes guard in the crowd noticed this group of people.

There was no way around it. On the pier full of sailors and coolies, the Earl of Argyll's European aristocratic attire was too dazzling, not to mention the dozens of followers following him.

The plainclothes guard took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the family flag on the mast, and then quickly disappeared into the crowd.
