Bishop Alexandria, who had a clear goal in mind, already knew what he had to do.

Therefore, at the decisive meeting held by the Governor of the Philippines, Bishop Alexandria, on behalf of the Catholic Church, made clear his attitude to everyone on the issue of how to deal with the Chinese - to hand over all the Chinese to Xiao Ruxun in exchange for the stability of the Philippines and to prevent Xiao Ruxun from using various means to hit the Philippine economy.

Once the Philippine economy collapses, it will be a very terrible thing for the Holy See and the Spanish Empire, not to mention that the Holy See is now short of funds, just say that the Spanish government is fighting wars everywhere, and the military expenditure required is an astronomical amount, compared with the two, the importance of the Philippines is self-evident.

Everyone should understand the importance of the Philippines.

These were the last concluding words of Bishop Alexander, and then the atmosphere of the whole meeting froze, and in the final voting session, except for a few die-hards of the military faction, who disagreed, succumbed to the double pressure of China and the Catholic Church, and considered it necessary to send all the Chinese, who had become a factor of instability, away.

The military die-hards protested by withdrawing en masse, but the Philippine governor finally issued a resolution to contact the Burmese side and ask General Xiao Ruxun to send a ship to pick up the Chinese, and they were willing to give up the Chinese on the island in exchange for General Xiao's friendship.

Bishop Alexander and Matteo Ricci breathed a sigh of relief that the nearly month-long crisis in the Philippines had finally been resolved through diplomatic mediation, which would have prevented the destruction of the Philippines by the terrible war, preserved their vested interests, and gained the friendship of Xiao Ruxun to obtain permission to spread Catholicism in Burma.

Congratulations! It's a pity, congratulations!

Matteo Ricci immediately left for Burma to inform Xiao Ruxun of the incident, while Bishop Alexander, in order to make a good impression in front of the future believers, brought some food and supplies to the Chinese settlement to "send warmth", so that everyone could feel the warmth of God and lay the foundation for the next missionary work in Myanmar.

In any case, he was already convinced that these people would be his followers, his supporters, and support him to become the backbone of the pope.

When Matteo Ricci returned to Burma to meet Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun was inspecting the production lines of artisans in the northern mountains of the military territory, as well as the workshops of masters who specialize in making rifled guns for the guards.

Now at this time, Xiao Ruxun has no way to come up with an industrial production system, and there is no way to use a machine to mass-produce rifled guns, so he can only let the skilled master polish the rifling one by one.

This is also something that can't be helped, Xiao Ruxun can't travel repeatedly, can't do time and space business, doesn't have a system, can't get points, can't buy high-tech products, although he was in the last days in his previous life, but there are a lot of abandoned factories and a large number of machines that can be used, and there are batches of skilled workers, so it is not difficult to make firearms and shells.

But now it is poor and white, only a handicraft workshop and a group of iron-striking masters, and some skilled workers recruited from abroad, a group of people can work together to create a few firearms production lines, to be able to do this today, Xiao Ruxun really feels that it is not easy, and he has thrown hundreds of thousands of taels of silver into it, not to mention anything else.

At the earliest, some jobs had to be purchased from the Ming Dynasty and then sent to Myanmar, from the purchase and use to the independent production period, Xiao Ruxun also invested a large amount of silver to maintain the operation of the workshop, and almost did not issue the official's salary, but fortunately, at that time, the commercial tax was collected, and the commercial tax of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver could solve his dilemma.

Now in the several firearms production lines under his hands, the biggest is the arquebus smoothbore gun, striving to achieve the extreme, increasing the medicine room and the like, anyway, the power and range of the arquebus of the Zhennan Army under Xiao Ruxun are more than one-third higher than the original Daming Bird Gun, and the quality is not to mention.

Xiao Ruxun directly ordered the accountability system, according to the system of the Qin army, which link went wrong, find the person in charge of the link and the craftsman in charge of the accountable, Xiao Ruxun's salary to the craftsman is much higher than that of Daming, these craftsmen are also responsible, if there is any defective product complained by the army, Xiao Ruxun will not hesitate to pull him out to vent his anger to the army, and then put him in prison.

The second production line after the arquebus smoothbore gun is the flintlock pistol production line, which is a batch of special firearms produced in a windy environment, only the most accurate shooting accuracy and the most experienced almost 2,000 people hold flintlock guns, and it is also the firefighting team that has to stand up to the rest of the gunners at critical moments.

And the rest is the production line of rifled guns, or a small studio, which gathers dozens of masters' handicraft workshops, which are responsible for making firearms for Xiao Ruxun himself and the personal guards, rifled guns, for three years, Xiao Ruxun has only more than 300 stocks in his hands, and about ten pistols.

It's not that you can't produce more, but the production efficiency is too low, Xiao Ruxun took the initiative to lower the requirements and produce some enough.

When you can't get the Mini bullet, the existence of the rifled gun is a chicken rib, and you have to take a wooden hammer to hammer the bullet into the barrel and then shoot it, and it takes several times the time to shoot a shot, although the accuracy is also incomparable to the smoothbore gun, but your low firing efficiency, when the second shot is not fired, the opposite smoothbore gun has fired several shots in a row.

Therefore, the rifled gun can only be regarded as a sniper rifle at this time, plus the door and the front sight, equipped with a sharpshooter who is particularly good at shooting, sniping the enemy's officers on the battlefield, causing chaos on the enemy, it is still very effective, if you expect to use the rifled gun to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, then it is better to wash and sleep.

However, the Mini bullet was also born at the wrong time, it was born a little too late, only more than 20 years after its birth, the bullet primer technology matured, and then it was the era of the rear loading gun, and the front loading gun was quickly eliminated.

Xiao Ruxun picked up a rifled flintlock pistol that had just been built, picked it up and played with it, looked at the door and the front sight, and felt quite good.

"Isn't there still any progress on the mold of the ammunition?"

Xiao Ruxun asked his chief master, a master in his fifties and forty-five years of iron age.

"Master Hou, we tried to get the mold style you gave, it's really hard to grasp, this thing looks like it really needs good steel to use, he must be hard, but also strong, that hundred steels can't achieve this effect, now let the old disciples are playing three hundred and five hundred steel, see what the result will be, as for the results, the old man can only say that he will do his best."

Xiao Ruxun couldn't force them, and he couldn't compete with the big machine production method with the handicraft workshop, Xiao Ruxun nodded, and didn't continue to say anything, so as not to put too much pressure on the master craftsman.

At this time, someone came in to report that Matteo Ricci had arrived, Xiao Ruxun calculated the time and smiled slightly.

It is estimated that he has fulfilled his requirements and is now taking the initiative to come back to his life.

"Let him in!"
