When Wu Sangui was plotting with Jierharang, Li Xiao was receiving foreign friends. In fact, it is a bit inaccurate to say that foreign friends are relatives, but it is more accurate to say that they are relatives of Li Xiao.

Tokugawa Haruaki is the most outstanding child of the new generation of the Tokugawa family. This time, Tokugawa Ieyasu sent him to Daming, also with the intention of letting him experience it. I have repeatedly told you to see more of the world after you go out. Especially to see the weapons of the Liao army, the Tokugawa family was really scared by Li Xiao in the vicious battles of the year.

It happened that the Marines were exercising, and Tokugawa Harumi followed Li Xiao and saw the fierce firepower and effective tactics of the Liao army. What surprised Tokugawa Haruaki the most was the 30-barrel rotary machine gun.

Although this thing is bulky and heavy and not suitable for marching. But the rate of fire of 180 rounds a minute still made Tokugawa Haruaki keep his mouth shut. I only knew that the cavalry of the Takeda family was powerful. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed into battle, and the momentum was like a sea of mountains.

But now seeing the thirty-barreled machine gun, the cavalry of the Takeda family is a joke. Not to mention tens of thousands of cavalry, it is 100,000 cavalry to charge together. Under such artillery fire and dense bullet rain of the Liao army, it is impossible for a single person to gallop in front of the Liao army.

As the leader of the younger generation of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Haruaki knew that the era of cavalry had passed. The future belongs to artillery, and the future belongs to infantry.

"There is no other meaning to let the Tokugawa family come this time. Go back and tell your grandfather that I want to send this Marine Corps to the South Seas. If you are willing to send troops, I can give you a piece of land in the future. You will also have a share of the benefits you get there.

As you know, the South China Sea is the only way for our Ming Dynasty, your Japanese country, and Korean maritime merchants. Even if there were no tolls, the boats always had to be fed with fresh water. There are even some cargoes that can be unloaded in the South China Sea. Then it will be transferred by other ships to the Ming Dynasty, or to your Wa Kingdom and Korea.

The goods of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, and the Japanese can also be unloaded in the South China Sea and sent to the Middle East and Africa by special ocean-going ships to sell to the Arabs. In this way, the capacity will be greatly increased. It's a good thing for everyone!

In the future, we will build a Strait Castle in the Channel. There will be a battery inside the castle, and naturally there will be a garrison. Moreover, I will give you the right to build a castle on the opposite side. In this way, the strait will be jointly controlled by both of us. Of course, you have to garrison troops in the straits. And...... your garrison must be under our command. ”

Since he is his own relative, Li Xiao, who is a brother-in-law, did not hide it, and told the matter clearly like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"If you say something, I will definitely bring it to my grandfather. Grandpa's health has been poor all these years, and the affairs of the Wa Kingdom are presided over by Uncle Katsuyori. There is one more thing to say to the marshal, the lord of the Mori Terumoto domain has passed away two months ago. The Mori Domain is now succeeded by the lord of the domain, Mori Hidetada! ”

"Mori Terumoto is dead?" Li Xiao was very surprised, but he was relieved when he thought that Maori Huiyuan was already ninety years old.

Inadvertently, Li Xiao saw a hint of cunning flashing in Tokugawa Harumi's eyes.

Damn, this little fox hasn't grown yet, so he wants to stir up a relationship between the Maori clan and himself.

Logically speaking, Maori Huiyuan died in such a big thing, Maori Xiuzhong should send someone to Daming to inform Li Xiao. Now not only did not anyone with the size of a rabbit come, but even the news was told to him by someone from the Tokugawa family. Could it be that the Maori family does not want to continue to maintain an alliance relationship with Li Xiao?

"I know about this!" Li Xiao said coldly. For Tokugawa Haruaki, there was a disgust in my heart.

Tokugawa Haruaki never dreamed that it was because of his own intentional words. His future is ruined!

"Bring my words to Mr. Tokugawa Ieyasu, and next time I come to Daming, let Tokugawa Katsuyori change someone who understands etiquette. Now, take your boat back. Tell Tokugawa Katsuyori that I need to get his answer as soon as possible. If the Wa State decides to send troops and send 10,000 soldiers to Qinhuangdao before September, I will have to see their quality. After Li Xiao added, he didn't look at Tokugawa Haruaki's wonderful face, and walked straight to the beach with a large group of minions to check the equipment in the exercise just now.

"Handsome! Handsome ......! Tokugawa Harumi was so shocked that Li Xiao actually left himself aside and ignored him. The arrogant Tokugawa Haruaki was almost so angry that he vomited blood, but looking at the soldiers on the beach, Tokugawa Harumi had to suppress his depression back into his body.

For the Wa Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty is like a ferocious tiger, and the Wa Kingdom is just a wolf in front of the tiger.

Wolves have no way to fight tigers, especially when there are more tigers than wolves.

Li Xiao didn't even look at Tokugawa Harumi, and he didn't want to see you Japanese people in the first place. I didn't expect to kick my nose in the face, and I actually dared to play a little trick on Lao Tzu, don't bully you, and be a fake Lao Tzu?

If it weren't for this time, you wouldn't need to pull hatred and kill people, so that you wouldn't be given the opportunity to go to Nanyang to reap the benefits.

It will take some time for the Marine Corps to complete its training, and sending soldiers who are not rigorously trained into battle is an act of reckless disregard for human life. Li Xiao never allowed this kind of thing to happen in his team, and besides, the South China Sea should be the season when typhoons are rampant. Even giant ships like Zhenyuan and Dingyuan will definitely not be the opponent of the rampaging nature.

The most suitable time is in winter, when there are few typhoons in the South China Sea. The weather in Temasek was not so hot, and most of the soldiers under Li Xiu were from the north and had to adapt to the scorching heat for a while.

"Sanitation regulations must be strictly enforced, and water that is not boiled is not allowed to be drunk. The whole army should be equipped with mosquito nets and, if possible, bathed every day. As Li Xiao walked, he told Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo behind him.

Temasina is tropical, with a warm and humid climate all year round, making it an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. Li Xiao has even heard that there is a bug that can burrow into people's skin and lay eggs. As soon as he thought of something like maggots coming out of his body, Li Xiao felt a numbness in his back.

Li Xiao is not worried about the dispatch of troops by the Japanese state, whether it is the Maori family or the Tokugawa family, they all know the truth of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Going to Nanyang is to make money, and this kind of good thing is generally to break your head and squeeze forward. A fool would let go of such an opportunity to reap the benefits!

A row of three-story buildings by the sea is the barracks of the Marine Corps. A standard room for eight people, with one class occupying a dormitory. Looking at the quilt with neatly folded tofu blocks, Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

Internal affairs and military appearance is the most important article for soldiers, and it is also what Li Xiao has always advocated. It's a pity that the effect has not been good so far, especially in the troops of Ao Canghai and Man Gui, the dormitory is a little stronger than the pig nest.

According to the two of them, it is enough to be a soldier if he can fight.

What made Li Xiao helpless was that the worst division in the whole army of internal affairs was the strongest combat unit in the whole army. It's not just because they're well equipped, it's that belligerent spirit.

As long as I heard that there was a battle, the whole of the first division was like a chicken blood. One by one, Li Xiao has seen a lot. A company of soldiers of the first division, with rifles loaded with bayonets, shouted and charged with "whoop" and "whoa". The person in front is hit by a bullet and falls to the ground, and the person behind will continue to charge with the corpse of his brother. If you don't fall to the last person, you will definitely not stop.

This kind of madness is rare in other troops, and it may be related to the bloody battle between the 1st Division and the Tartars in the Daling River.

The atmosphere of a unit has a great deal to do with the commander-in-chief! The characteristics of the first division are ferocity, and the characteristics of the first cavalry division are fierce. Because of Yuan Chonghuan's relationship, the second division seems a little literary. The officers were more dogmatic and obedient to orders, and they liked the tea ceremony when they had nothing to do, unlike the officers of the 1st Division, who got together to drink.
