The two cannons were operated by two artillery crews selected from the artillery division, which were recognized as being equal in skill, physical strength, and staffing, and Shouhan was prepared to compare them with the same personnel as possible.

On the newly built fort, almost all the high-ranking personnel of the Nanyue Army in Guangdong gathered here.

Ye Qi, who had been transferred back to Guangzhou from Lingjiawei Island and was about to preside over the commercial trade with the mainland, mainly the Jianghuai and Han regions, watched with great interest as Li Huamei and Aolei Yilan, two women of the same age, exchanged their private treasures with each other.

"This is what I snatched from the Japanese people, no, in exchange for the ribs, it is said that one of their famous generals was used when he trapped his rebellious subordinates in the temple and disemboweled!"

"This dagger is a good thing! That year, Daddy and I snatched it from a military attache in Jianzhou! ”

two women who are full of violent tendencies, one is Li Shouhan's pearl, the image spokesperson of the Nanyue Army Sailor; The other is the new favorite in Ning Yuanbo's house, representing a vast, huge, and rich land that can bring rich benefits to the Nanyue army.

It's okay for the top of the Nanyue Army, after so many years, Shouhan has already washed their brains to the point that it is not strange. But to the surprise of the gentlemen in Guangzhou, although the age gap between the concubines and their children in their respective families is not necessarily proportional to the generational division, the Li family, the mother and daughter in the etiquette system, (oh, although they are of the same age, but the generations are there. A concubine is also a mother. They were like a pair of sisters, and from time to time they led dozens of their own tigress-like soldiers to the edge of the Pearl River. Use the waterfowl that shelter from the cold there to practice marksmanship.

Li Huamei certainly didn't think there was anything wrong with being so close to the woman of her father's Xinna, and Aura Yilan didn't think there was anything wrong. Just kidding, it is hundreds of years better than these Daurs, but any family with a little power and strength, which one is not a chaotic marriage or in-law relationship can't figure it out?

The eldest concubine of the old slave, Abahai, seems to be younger than most of his sons, and it seems that when it comes to it, the old slave must be called an uncle or something like that.

Today's Huang Taiji, the kinship in the harem is even more chaotic. The eldest concubine Zhezhe is the aunt of Bumu Butai and Hai Lanzhu. As for the latter, the relationship between the characters is two concubines competing for favor and a pair of sisters.

Under the leadership of Li Huamei, a violent woman, Auror Lei Yilan quickly mastered the new weapon of fire. And he is very proficient in using it. Now. This pair of violent women who made the gentlemen in Guangzhou secretly shake their heads. He sat right behind Shouhan.

Next to Shouhan, sitting on him from time to time leaning forward half of his body, the Hongmaoyi who respectfully spoke to Shouhan was the commander of the Portuguese Restoration Army. With nearly 10,000 troops, more than 200 large-caliber artillery pieces and 5,000 or 6,000 guns of military equipment, he could keep an eye on the sea and land for a while.

The Goa-based Restoration Army continued to squeeze and encroach on the Spanish territory by sea, and incorporated the captured Portuguese soldiers of the Spanish army into its ranks, so that those civil officials who could not be promoted who were suppressed by officials from Madrid continued to be in charge of government affairs, taxes, and finances in the colony. The pieces of land, islands, and ports that were favored by the Shouhan and Nanyue armies were exchanged for all kinds of materials that could support this war, from generals to soldiers, weapons, money, ammunition, provisions, medicines, ships, etc., everything.

With the steady development of these years, Gonzalez was pleasantly surprised to find that his journey to Portugal was getting shorter and shorter, and a thought that scared him kept flashing through his mind, "Maybe I will be the king of Portugal!" This ambitious or ambitious thought has been spreading and growing in his heart since the day it appeared.

In order to realize the great ideal of becoming King of Portugal and, nay, reviving the Kingdom of Portugal and freeing him from the tyrannical rule of Spain, he once again came to see Governor Lee in high spirits, and was ready to receive another generous and selfless assistance from him.

However, when he heard that there was a new artillery experiment, he followed the guard of honor to this Huangpu Island.

The two teams of gunners each had five shells, and whichever team completed the firing in the shortest time was the winner. For the sake of fairness, after completing a round of shooting, with a short break, a second shot is made, and the artillery is exchanged for operation.

The gunners took a slight look at the gun that was about to be operated, and there was no difference in shape from other guns, except that the gun body was not so smooth, and the gun body was covered with hemp surface, and it even felt a little undulating to the touch.

"Why is that?"

The Dragon Overlord was a little dissatisfied, could it be that the group of guys who cast the artillery felt that their heads had grown a little big, and they planned to let the lord cut off a piece of it for them?

"Why? Tyrannosaurus rex, you'll understand after a while after firing two shots! The craftsman who came to the artillery yard to adjust the artillery was an acquaintance with him, and immediately retorted.

Just as he was about to sneer at each other, an officer from the artillery division over there glanced at the clock, "When the time comes, all the guns are in place!" ”

"Reloaded, reloaded......"

In front of the two cannons, the commanders of the armor commanders with the smell of competition sounded one after another, and spread to all directions.

"Put, put"

With a deafening cannon sound, fierce flames erupted from the muzzles of the cannons.

In the roar of the shells, the targets placed on the river beach were blown apart.

"Brush Chamber"

Immediately after the cannon was fired, one loader brushed the barrel with a cannon, and another person filled the gunpowder bag, and the other filled the shell. Loading, aiming, firing cannons, calmly, fast movements, everyone nodded secretly, to be able to train the huge artillery to such a degree, such a division of labor and cooperation, with tacit understanding shows that a lot of effort has been made on weekdays, and many local officials in Guangdong began to rejoice that they had joined the Nanyue Army as soon as possible.

With the same amount of gunpowder, thanks to the perfect formula, the gun charge and the weight of the shells can reach one to two, and it is possible to shoot a few more shots than in the past to dissipate heat. In the past, it was necessary to dissipate heat after three shots in a row. Now it can shoot five shots, and the range is a little longer.

If it reaches the level of one to three, it can reduce the heat of the artillery, increase the frequency of artillery firing, and greatly reduce the possibility of the cannon exploding.

"Put it again"

Again, the whistling sound of two cannons being discharged.

"Attention guns, free fire!"

The real test session of the competition is here.

The gunners of the two guns began to exert their best spirits.

Fang Cai's two-round shooting belongs to the experience of the new artillery, and he is familiar with the process of artillery casting. Now it's time to see the real thing.

The Tyrannosaurus rex excitedly pulled the fire rope, and the rope pulled the spring at that end, guiding the trigger to ignite the spark into the medicine pool.

"Boom!"

His group was the first to fire the cannonballs, and then. A group using the tube also successfully set off the artillery. Two shells flew one after the other towards the river beach, smashing the target there and burning.

With the Bayrafa flintlock machine, the artillery firing of the Tyrannosaurus Rex group gradually gained the upper hand. While the opponent is still reloading the third artillery shell. They have already completed the launch of the fourth shell. Steadily gained an advantage.

And the hemp surface on the cannon body. At this time, they also showed their role. The biggest advantage of the slightly raised or concave surface of the gun body is that it expands the heat dissipation area of the gun body surface, and can use the fastest time to bring gunpowder to the heat of the gun body tube wall to dissipate.

Add gunpowder using silk medicine packets. This biological protein can quickly decompose when exposed to high temperatures, and burns well in the chamber, leaving behind minimal residue. The two are combined in one place, and if evaluated from the perspective of a Tyrannosaurus rex, it can fire ten cannons in a row without stopping to dissipate heat! This ensures the continuity and consistency of firepower to the greatest extent! Let me ask you, on the European continent, in Liaodong, and in Jianghuai, Hehan, which are in full swing at this moment, can any army withstand the fire of dozens of artillery pieces firing more than 10 times in a row?

As the T-Rex excitedly pulled the arquebus, firing the fifth cannonball out of the chamber, the first round ended. The flintlock hair puller was a clear victory.

"Allow me to be the first to congratulate you, great Governor Lee, for your artillery is the finest I have ever seen, in terms of size, number, and skill level; Not one of them. ”

The artillerymen stopped to dissipate heat from the cannon body while recovering their strength to prepare for the next round of the game. Gonzalez began to flatter Shouhan.

He hoped to be able to obtain such artillery to support his superiority in the great war for the revival of the Kingdom of Portugal. In order to be able to obtain such artillery, even if the few Portuguese governorates in South America who are now under the control of the Portuguese are rich in silver and gold are handed over to the Governor Lee in front of him!

If you can't get artillery, at least get similar artillery equipment!

"The military equipment of the Nanyue Army is always simple, but it is easy to get started. Those stupid pig-like guys among the natives, they will use it after a few lessons! ”

This was the unanimous assessment of the Portuguese Avenger Army officers on the weapons produced in South China.

His voice was drowned out in the deafening sound of cannonballs, the cannonballs screamed, and the billowing smoke drowned out the figures of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and others, and after a short rest, the Tyrannosaurus Rex and his men exchanged gun positions with the friendly forces for a second round of shooting. After the first round of shelling, the gunners vigorously brushed the chamber with wool brushes and reloaded the ammunition.

The water vapor of the brush was sizzling, and in the high-pitched sound of the gunners, another round of firing from the two guns began, and with the thunderous sound of the cannons, the muzzles of the guns spewed out blazing flames towards the river beach, and the huge shells smashed into the few remaining targets on the river beach, and the billowing white smoke quickly filled the air above the artillery positions again.

This time, it was the same gun crew that used the pull-hair flintlock machine to win.

"Herald! Both armor armors have been upgraded by one level! Double the salary. The personnel of the two artillery crews were rewarded with 20 silver dollars, and two horses of fine silk! Reward two tables of wine! There are meritorious craftsmen in each workshop, and all of them will be rewarded! ”

When the officer of the artillery division reported this expected test result to Shouhan, Shouhan did not hesitate to reward him.

He knew what this thing meant to him and to the artillerymen of the entire world.

After two days of pleasant and fruitful negotiations, on November 18, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the day marked on the yellow calendar as Yiding Alliance, Li Shouhan and Gonzalez, the commander of the Portuguese Restoration Army, signed an epoch-making document of historical significance in Wuyang City.

Treaty of Friendship, Mutual Assistance and Alliance between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.

"The friendship between the Southern Cantonese Army of the Ming Empire of China and the Portuguese Restoration Army is a friendship of iron cemented in blood, and it is the farthest alliance in the World War against the rule of the evil and brutal Kingdom of Spain. After a long period of fighting side by side and close cooperation. The Chinese Ming Empire and the Portuguese Restoration Army agreed that Spain's name as the defender of orthodoxy was in fact a rebellion against Catholicism. Since its prosperity, it has been fighting in Europa, ignoring the seizure of the holy city of Jerusalem. In order to punish the perverse acts of the Kingdom of Spain, we have always believed that it is necessary to further strengthen relations of friendship and cooperation, and to this end, after talks, we agreed to declare the following:

One. The Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire implemented a policy of religious equality and freedom. Catholicism was allowed to spread freely in accordance with the laws of the empire, and the necessary protection was promised to be given by the government at all levels within the military jurisdiction of the Southern Canton. The Portuguese Restoration Army promised to bring in scholars from the Ming Kingdom and implement a national policy of academic freedom, just as it did to protect the Aristotelian school.

Two. The Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire helped the Portuguese Restoration Army to form an army. used against the Kingdom of Spain. All expenses were borne by the Southern Yue Army of the Ming Empire. In view of the fact that the overall strength of the Portuguese army was far inferior to that of Spain, the Nanyue Army of the Ming Empire decided to garrison Viana do Castelo to provide necessary support for the Portuguese Restoration Army. The cost of the garrison was borne by the Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire. There is no occupation fee, and it promises to strictly restrain the garrison, and if there is any act of committing adultery, the people can directly send it to the garrison.

Third, the Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Empire opened the two treaty ports of Macao and Guangzhou to the Portuguese Restoration Army for trade, and promised to protect all legitimate and lawful commercial and trade practices. The Portuguese Restoration Army promised to open Lisbon as a treaty port, and the berths and wharves in the port, etc., and the Ming merchant ships were given priority to dock and use. The fleet of the Ming Empire was allowed to anchor, but when the Ming fleet entered the port of Lisbon, it had to be led by a Portuguese pilot.

Fourth, the Southern Cantonese Army of the Ming Empire and the Portuguese Restoration Army will continue to work together to fight against Spain's brutal overseas colonies, rescue the suffering Europa immigrants and local natives, and stop the brutal genocide and tax oppression. The Ming Empire promised to fight against the islands of Madeira and Las Palmas in the near future to annihilate the Spanish forces in both places, and the Portuguese Restoration Army would assist in the fight and support the occupation of the two places by the Southern Cantonese Army of the Ming Empire.

Fifth, after the restoration of Portugal, the agreement between the Restoration Army and the Nanyue Army of the Ming Empire continued to be valid.

6. All military salaries and supplies needed during the Renaissance War were paid in advance by the Nanyue Army, which used the colonies seized by the Kingdom of Portugal and the criminal Spanish Empire in various parts of the Americas as collateral. The Restoration Army recognized the justice and legitimacy of the military and other actions taken by the Nanyue Army to occupy and effectively administer the above-mentioned areas.

7. Any future treaty between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Ming Empire shall be based on this treaty. ”

When Gonzalez wrote his name on the paperwork with the title of "leader of the Kingdom of Portugal, rebel against Spanish tyranny, commander of the Portuguese Restoration Army", he couldn't help but show an imperceptible smile on Shouhan's face.

However, Gonzalez is also very proud in his heart. This title has been confirmed by Father Alfonso in the name of the Church, as well as by the British, Dutch, etc. present. In other words, if he sets foot on Portuguese soil, he will become the rightful king of the Kingdom of Portugal! For this reason, let alone signing such a seemingly beneficial and harmless treaty of friendship and mutual assistance, even if he sells his soul to the devil, he will not hesitate to sign a contract with that guy who smells of sulfur!

In the eyes of many old bureaucrats and gentry in Guangzhou, this contract was a move to raise the prestige of the country thousands of miles away, to demonstrate the grandeur of the great powers, and to continue the survival of other countries. It is similar to Emperor Shenzong sending troops to help Korea resist the invasion of the Japanese people.

However, in the eyes of some Nanzhong elders, this contract is a complete loss-making transaction.

From the signing of this contract, the Portuguese were free to withdraw weapons, grain, and money in accordance with their military strength and actions in southern China. Some people are even worried that this group of Hongmaoyi people will take these materials and resell them for profit.

You know, now their Europa is fighting to ascend to heaven and two Buddhas to be born. These things are said to have reached the point where they have no market in the local area.

However, the trust in Shouhan that they have cultivated over the years has made them smile with a smile on their faces, although they have doubts in their hearts.

Only Shouhan understood that after the signing of this document, the overseas colonies seized by the Portuguese and Spaniards in the so-called era of geographical discovery by the Europeans in the whole world would become the delicacy of the Nanyue army. And, it's all legal!

Countless privileges that have been criticized in the history books, unequal treaties imposed by the powerful on the weaker peoples, have been reshaped and whitewashed in this document.

What the? You can't see? Well, look at this one! On the issue of the privileges of the garrison, "the Southern Cantonese Army of the Ming Empire decided to garrison Viana do Castelo to provide the necessary support for the Portuguese Restoration Army. The cost of the garrison is borne by the Nanyue Army of the Ming Empire, and no occupation fee is levied, and the garrison is promised to be strictly restrained. "Your army is stationed in someone else's territory," and if there is any act of committing adultery, the people can directly send the garrison to the garrison. "In other words, the local government has no power to dispose of it, what is this not extraterritoriality?

Need you talk about anything else? Savor it for yourself! (To be continued......)
