These foreigners are an important target for the southeast province!

Xu Guangqi of the Ming Dynasty chose Dengzhou (Penglai) to establish an artillery battalion armed with Western firearms, hired the Portuguese to transmit technology, and used Hongyi cannons as equipment, becoming the most well-equipped army in the Ming Dynasty.

Dengzhou became the center of China's firearms casting drill for a while, and the artillery experts, the Portuguese Gongsha's Xilao and Lu Ruohan arrived in Dengzhou successively to engage in artillery manufacturing and training technology, and in June 1631, there were 53 Portuguese gunners and artillery craftsmen to escort a batch of Western cannons from Guangzhou to Dengzhou. These Westerners became the first Western military technicians to be hired in the Ming Dynasty. (Not counting in the southeastern province)

One of the main reasons why he was willing to serve the Ming Dynasty was because Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were parishioners, and the Portuguese believed in them.

The Xilao and Portuguese people in Gongsha are familiar with Zhang Shouyun, and because Zhang Shouyun can also speak Portuguese, he often invites them to eat and drink, which makes them deeply moved!

Move?

It's really touching, because they are red-haired!

You must know that the Chinese people are conservative, and they think that the strange-looking red-haired fan is a ghost from the underworld, and even think that the people who come into contact with the red-haired fan are called "ghosts".

These red-haired fans teach artillery skills and are responsible for making artillery, but the people and even the military generally do not have a good impression of them, and they still work, and outside of work, almost no one cares about these red-haired fans.

Zhang Shouyun knew that the Southeast Mansion liked to introduce foreigners, so he had no psychological burden in his relationship with the red-haired fans, but he was moved by the red-haired fans.

In the Dengzhou Rebellion, Zhang Shouyun strongly persuaded Gongsha's Xilao to lead the foreigners to take ** to avoid Dengzhou Shuicheng, and then after he did the governor's yamen's vote, he came back and did the work of the foreigners, telling them: "Governor Sun, who hired you, will be in big trouble if he loses Dengzhou this time!" ”

He told them about the consequences of Sun Yuanhua's loss of Dengzhou, saying that it would be impossible for Sun Yuanhua to stay in Dengzhou, and that it would be impossible for foreigners to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty.

Others, who are not Catholics, will not believe and reuse them, and now that Sun Yuanhua will go to the Southeast Mansion, they can also go to the Southeast Mansion to serve, and the treatment is the same as that given by the Ming Dynasty.

In Dengzhou, the treatment of foreign experts is good, the Ming Dynasty government promised to pay the leader of the Gongsha Xilao annual salary of 150 taels of silver, plus 15 taels of additional expenses per month, the rest of the people will pay 100 taels a year, and give another 10 taels of food money per month, this condition is quite superior. At that time, the Ming Dynasty's guards only had 10 taels of rice per month, equivalent to about 20 taels of silver, while ordinary soldiers only had about 4 taels of silver per month (in fact, officers and soldiers often did not get this money, or even did not receive any money, so there were many deserters in the guards)

Now Zhang Shouyun bid on behalf of the Southeast Mansion to recruit foreign experts, know it with reason, move it with affection, and declare that the Southeast Mansion is no longer welcome to foreign experts, and the existing Dutch and British are all working for Yan Overseer, and even in a high position, you will go like a fish in water, and there is no discomfort at all!

The working environment is good, the income is good, how about it, it's better to take action than to move, let's go to Southeast Mansion together!

After collective discussion, these foreign gunners finally defected to the Southeast Mansion collectively!

……

Zhang Shouyun returned to the southeast with Sun Yuanhua and foreign artillery experts and a thousand musketeers, and Yan Changwu personally picked up the ship at the Kaohsiung Military Port!

What he said was extremely cheesy, but the sincere enthusiasm could be felt: "I have Governor Sun, like a great drought and a rain!" ”

"Yan Inspector, there is no need to mention the word governor, now I just have the protection of the Southeast Mansion, I hope to do something!" Sun Yuanhua's posture is very low-key, even a little depressed.

Anyone who saw the battleships and many warships in the military port had to bow down, especially Sun Yuanhua, what he thought was that with the support of the imperial court, he introduced foreign artillery experts, tried to provide advanced weapons for the Ming Dynasty, and also did some work, but compared with the Southeast Mansion, it was really a heaven and a land!

The Ming Dynasty is even richer, but the sea power of the Southeast Mansion is far above the Ming Dynasty, which is simply incredible!

arranged for personnel to accompany him, invited the guests to rest first, and then Yan Changwu listened to Zhang Shouyun's report, and after looking at a few heads, he said with a smile on his face: "Good job!" ”

Yan Changwu was very excited, only he knew the meaning of killing Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, and Li Jiucheng!

If they hadn't intervened, these guys would have defected to Huangtaiji with the Dengzhou Navy Division and the most elite firearms troops of the Ming Dynasty who had been trained by foreign experts, thus making up for the two important shortcomings of the Later Jin Dynasty and making a great change in the military strength of the Ming and Later Jin.

The significance is so great that Huang Taiji greeted them in person, and the most solemn etiquette of Jin in the future, "Hug and See Ceremony", greeted them. Huang Taiji was overjoyed, and he really slept and sent a pillow.

Later Jin will be able to make Hongyi cannons, making the Ming Dynasty Jiancheng useless!

And then the establishment of the Jin Shui Division, will make the containment of Phi Dao also invalid, even if it is due to the suppression of the Southeast Fleet, the Hou Jin Naval Division will not be murderous, but at least how do the Hou Jin people train the sailors, in case they occupy the whole country and deal with the Southeast Mansion with the strength of the whole country?

All forces that can threaten them should be eliminated.

In addition, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi were respectively named King Gongshun, King Huaishun and King Zhishun by Houjin, that is, King Sanshun, and became pawns against the Ming Dynasty, bringing profound disasters to the land of China.

Even if they don't surrender now, they are rebellious, and everyone will be punished. (This Yan boy forgot that he was the first thief)

Kill them, hey, as a sign of celebration.

He was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, Zhang Shouyun was awarded the title of official doctor (baron of the third class) and a gold medal for meritorious service, and his musketeers were also heavily rewarded.

Set up a banquet to entertain Sun Yuanhua and the foreigners, accompanied by the senior military and political officials of the Southeast Prefecture, during the banquet, Yan Changwu frequently persuaded wine, the mood was high, happy, everyone could see it.

Chen Xinji introduced the military and economic construction achievements of the Southeast Province to the guests, which made Sun Yuanhua and the foreigners admire it incomparably!

This young overseer, who came to power at the age of fifteen, has achieved so much in just a few years, and has been overwhelming in the South China Sea, and even foresaw the Dengzhou Rebellion, he is really the reincarnation of the Son of God.

"We have a gun factory in the southeast of the province, and we are not boasting, we are doing a good job!" Yan Changwu said.

Sun Yuanhua nodded, he has seen the flintlock lance, shotgun and pistol of the Southeast Army, etc., the production technology is first-class, in fact, the flintlock pistol has long been invented, and the promotion has not been ideal, such as the 2,000 flintlock pistols originally purchased by the Southeast Prefecture are not wanted by Europe, and they are sent to the East to use, but they did not expect to concentrate on tackling key problems and improve the technology, and the flintlock pistols manufactured are quite good, far exceeding European technology.

"However, our cannons are still not good, I believe that with the arrival of Lord Sun and all the gentlemen, we will not have a problem!" Yan Changwu said what he expected
