Siam and Burma, for example, were ready-made allies of the Ming Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Burma was the period of the Gongbang Dynasty, and the lord of the country was Meng Yun. The Bangkok dynasty in Siam was also established not long ago, and the ruler of the country was Rama I.

Although in the original history, the relationship between Myanmar and Siam was extremely poor, and there were constant wars. But under the mediation of the Ming Dynasty, they finally shifted their attention to Britain.

Now Myanmar is focused on East Bengal and Siam is focused on the Malay Peninsula. Their contradictions on the border and border have been suppressed for the time being.

And in order to make them die and fight against the British, Daming gave them no less benefits. For example, the provision of 'advanced' firearms, the necessary information. Sometimes, in order to make them fight more fiercely with Britain and China. Daming also asked the people of the Intelligence Department to deliberately fanning the flames and expanding the contradictions.

Of course, Da Ming is not a virgin and will not provide firearms for free.

Like each musket, the price is two hundred Chinese dollars, which is just a whole number. It may not sound like much, but the actual purchasing power of Huayuan can be added to two zeros.

And this is still a friendly price!

In this era, European armies, most of which were armed with flintlock muskets. It was developed by the 16th century Frenchman Mahan, based on the revolver musket. It was not until 1848 that it withdrew from the stage of history.

The Type 38 rifle developed by the Ming Dynasty at the beginning did not have a suitable bullet, so the use effect was not as good as imagined. Not only is the scrap rate extremely high, but on the battlefield, there are always cases of jamming, bombing, and chambering.

For example, in the Battle of Timor, many soldiers were blown up or injured by rifles in their hands.

In addition, the manufacturing process is more complex and the cost is higher. The Ming Dynasty had to conform to the trend of the times and produce flintlock pistols. As for the Type 3 and 8 rifles, they can only be withdrawn first. Wait for the technology of bullets to improve in the future, and then equip them on a large scale.

This also supports a fact!

Sometimes, you can't step too big, otherwise it's easy to pull the egg.

At present, Myanmar and Siam are still in the era of cold weapons. In the face of Britain and other Western powers, they always suffered and lost in weapons.

So when the Ming Dynasty was willing to provide a flintlock pistol with better performance, Myanmar and Siam, even if they felt that the price was too expensive, each reluctantly bought 5,000 pieces.

That adds up to 10,000. And then counting the money for ammunition, it's another huge sum.

It is no wonder that later generations of American emperors and polar bears are so fond of selling weapons. It's really too profitable, so people have to be excited!

However, selling weapons to them, Da Ming also has concerns. After all, the Ming Dynasty also looked at their territory, thinking that one day, they would plant the five-star red flag in Southeast Asia and turn it into an administrative province that spoke Chinese and wrote Chinese characters.

When the soldiers and soldiers meet in the future, this army equipped with firearms will be a problem in the end.

It's just that I can't do that much right now!

If you want the sheep to run, you have to feed the sheep. ’。 In order to make Britain bleed, it had to give blood transfusions to Burma and Siam.

Besides, Da Ming is not defenseless!

This flintlock pistol sold to the outside world is the most inferior flintlock pistol. The shooting speed and accuracy are much worse than those used by Da Ming!

In the future, even if they encounter their musket troops, Da Ming will be able to maintain a large advantage.

Of course, that's all for later.

As regional powers in the Indochina Peninsula, Siam and Myanmar still have some skills. After getting the muskets of the Ming Dynasty, they made the British shed a lot of blood by virtue of their advantages in fighting at home.

The British in East Bengal, for example, were driven out by Burma. It is now an administrative province of Myanmar.

The Sultanates of Kedah, Perak and Terengganu in the Malay Peninsula were also successfully captured by Siam. Originally, according to the agreement between the Ming Dynasty and the British, these places should be British territory.

But Siam intervened, and Da Ming is not to blame. Although Siam was instigated by the Ming Dynasty. But to be a person and to do things, we must talk about evidence, not to mention between countries.

Even if Britain is angry, there is nothing to be done about it. After all, compared to fists and heads, Daming is not afraid.

This is one of the reasons why Britain is pulling Spain as an ally!

Judging from the current situation, as long as the Ming Dynasty has always supported Siam and Burma and let them continue to eat the sweetness, then the possibility of reconciliation between them and the British is very small.

And this is exactly what Daming wants!

When future battles break out, the Ming will definitely let them speed up the pace of attack. Let Burma attack West Bengal and Siam attack British power in the Malay Peninsula. These places, they got them, they are their own.

In the face of this real benefit, they will fight very hard without the urging of the Ming Dynasty.

In that case, Britain will not want to live in peace. The pressure on Daming is also less.

Anyway, whoever makes Da Ming uneasy, then Da Ming will make him even more uneasy.

Thinking of this, the worries in Nanfeng's heart were a little less.

It's just that there is still a key problem that has not been solved!

That's how to break the blockade?

Fortunately, he didn't worry for long, and Liu Weiguo and Zhang Xiao came.

On the way, they looked at the contract. Those who should be angry, those who should be angry, and those who should be angry, have also vented themselves. So after some discussion, they made a suggestion to Nanfeng to find a different way.

It's just that after hearing their suggestion, Nanfeng's reaction was a bit unpredictable.

"North to Vietnam?" , Nanfeng seems to be asking others, and it seems to be asking himself. But his eyes were fixed on the map of the South Seas on the wall.

Liu Weiguo hurriedly pointed to Vietnam and introduced it loudly: "It's Vietnam!" It is bordered by Liangguang and Yunnan to the north, and Siam and Cambodia to the west. The country is long and narrow, and it is close to the South Central and National Seas.

It is one east and one west with the Philippines, forming the border of the South, China and the National Sea.

Once Spain blocks the sea lane, Vietnam is the most important breakthrough. ”。

Seeing that Nanfeng's face did not show a look of emotion. Zhang Xiao added: "There are many ports in Vietnam, such as Jiading (Ho Chi Minh City), Ship Port, Hue and so on.

The Ming Dynasty took Vietnam, not only breaking the blockade of Spain. And on land, it also borders the Qing State. It is not only convenient for the export of goods from the Ming Dynasty, but also conducive to attracting immigrants from Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Yunnan.

Even attacking the Qing Kingdom in the north is also a shortcut! ”。

When he said this, his tone was uplifted!

Liao Qing and Zhang Yang, who were present, instantly flashed two words in their hearts: 'Angry Qing'. It's really that his remarks about counterattacking the Qing Kingdom are too famous. So much so that if you express a little bit of the meaning of counterattacking the Qing Kingdom now, you will be reminded of the word "indignant" and "green".

When Liu Weiguo heard his words, he also secretly said that it was bad! As I said earlier, why mention the counterattack on the Qing Kingdom.

At this time, Nan Feng would definitely think that their suggestion was purely for the sake of fighting the Qing Kingdom.

(I'm really sorry, I've been busy at work lately, I'm stressed, and I'm in a bad state to collapse.) That's why it's so slow! It's still being adjusted. Strive to adjust as soon as possible, so that there are two to three shifts a day. ）
