The winter in Qinhuangdao is very cold, and the cold snap from Siberia turns into a cold wind, blowing on the face as if a knife is cutting meat.

But on the square in front of the dock, rows of soldiers stood like nails in the cold wind. More than 20,000 people couldn't even hear coughing.

Li Xiao stood on a high platform, and in front of him was the microphone of the latest technology products. With this thing, you don't have to shout hoarsely and loudly. The loudspeaker was loud enough to send the sound far away, and the people at the end of the queue could hear it clearly.

On both sides of the high platform, a glass cover is placed. Inside the glass cover sat two people, Dzerzhinsky and Dzhugashvili. There are masters in the Fusi of the original Jinyi Weibei Town in the capital, and they can make living people into wax people. Li Xiao didn't know what the specific process was, but Li Xiao was very satisfied with the products that could be made.

Dzerzhinsky and Dzhugashvili, their noses, eyes, eyebrows, mouth, and mouth, were undamaged. And it looks lifelike, no different from two big living people sitting there.

These two have their own fixed positions in the capital. Two pavilions were specially built for them outside the noon gate, and there were a few days a month to carry these two to the pavilion for exhibition. Let everyone see, this is the end of the slaughter of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Dzhugashvili was a major, Dzerzhinsky was a colonel. However, under the pen of Zhang Huangyan, an old fox, these two have become the generals of the Rakshasa Kingdom. It's still a general with a heavy army or something like that, anyway, you don't know how old these two are.

Zhang Huangyan believes that the two generals can arouse the enthusiasm of the people more than any bullshit school officer.

The old fox didn't expect things wrong!

On the first day of the exhibition, Dzerzhinsky and Dzhugashvili had an unprecedented effect. There were more people standing in front of the noon gate, more than when there were people killing people at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The people of the capital were in the cold wind, snorting melon seeds and running snot, and looked at the two wax men like watching a play. The number of people even gave Li Xiao the idea of selling tickets to visit for a while.

Today, these two had to make a long trip to Qinhuangdao to mobilize Li Xiao's southern expedition.

In the sea off Qinhuangdao, more than 130 warships are moored. Most of these warships were troop carriers, and only a few were gunboats. This is the essence of the Ming Navy, three heavy arsenal ships, the core of the ground strike. These three heavy arsenal ships fired a salvo, and it is estimated that there will be no living people within a radius of ten miles. A 500-kilogram rocket could knock people to death.

The core of the naval battle is, of course, Zhenyuan and Dingyuan, as well as the newly commissioned Zhiyuan and Chaoyuan.

The latest Zhiyuan and ultra-far in service are real ironclad ships. It is far from being comparable to the pseudo-ironclad ships with external armor in Zhenyuan and Dingyuan. The boiler manufacturing process is becoming more and more mature, and the power is becoming more and more sufficient.

The biggest difference with Zhenyuan and Dingyuan is. There is electricity on Zhiyuan and Ultra Far!

It's so rare that soldiers don't have to light candles and lanterns anymore when they're in the cabin. They only need to press a button and the lights on the cabin ceiling will come on. The light is not as bright as eight candles.

The use of electricity allows the shells to be delivered directly into the turret through an electric conveyor. This point is much more advanced than Zhenyuan and Dingyuan.

Zhenyuan and Dingyuan fired two cannons, and Zhiyuan and Chaoyuan could shoot two shells.

Moreover, the rocket artillery in the stern of these two ships, where the rocket artillery was originally installed, is now equipped with two large-caliber guns. Powerful artillery that can tear any ship in the world to shreds. Even the picky Li Xiu was amazed by these two ships.

After experiencing reality, Li Xiu's big ships and huge guns are loyal fans. The latest warships are larger than Zhiyuan and Chaoyuan. On the sea, it really exists like a mountain.

As for the troop carriers, they are somewhat pitiful, old sailboats of a water. Some of the ships had old-fashioned breech-loading guns, and some were simply Furlong cannons that I didn't know where to find them. The sailors affectionately gave these guns a name, the old man!

There are a lot of guns, and the age of the guns is longer than the age of the artillerymen.

Anyway, these cannons don't have many opportunities for real combat. Li Xiao thinks that the biggest effect of this thing is actually to strengthen the courage. Unless they encounter the regular European navy, the vast majority of those pirates in the South China Sea are still in the stage of gang jumping. Being able to have a few firecrackers is already considered an advanced weapon.

This time, there were only two regiments of marines. However, the Japanese sent 18,000 men to support Li Xiao's conquest of Southeast Asia.

Both Mori Hidetada and Tokugawa Katsuyori understood how rich the resources of that land were. In order to be able to make a fortune in such a rich land, the two families took out their elite. Tokugawa Katsuyori sent 10,000 troops, and Mori Hidetada sent 8,000 troops. The so-called sending troops into shares is divided according to shares!

Therefore, the main force of this battle is actually the Japanese people.

The equipment of the Japanese people is far worse than that of the Ming army. They still had pre-loaded arquebuses in their hands, and only the most elite had flintlock pistols. The artillery only has the mortars that Li Xiao sold them, which is like the Ming Marine Corps, and there are all kinds of infantry mortars. There's even a grenadier that fires grenades, which can bounce a grenade up to 300 meters away. It fills the gap between the guns and the cannons!

Li Xiao stood in front of the microphone and looked at the crowd of black pressure below.

Li Dingguo and Zuo Liangyu stood at the front, and the cold wind blew their clothes wildly. The two of them were still standing at the forefront of the team like nails, ready to listen to Li Xiao's lecture.

"Lads! The place you're about to go to is as hot as a furnace. You're cold now, you're wearing a lot, and when you get there, you're wearing only pants and vests.

Why did you go so far? That's because, as long as Temasek is guarded, it can hold the throat of the two oceans. The vast South China Sea is our Ming Inland Sea. Whoever wants to get their hands dirty will beat him up.

Our Ming court only stared at our own little land, but we couldn't see the rich distance. Now, I command you to go to the South Seas. Enclose the South China Sea to Lao Tzu, in the future, my Ming population will be too large, and my family will not be able to live there. Future generations still have a place to find food, even if there are unworthy descendants in later generations, they can be defeated for two more years.

If you don't hold the two oceans today, maybe one day, an enemy will come from the sea. From Liaodong to Guangdong, the long coastline of our Ming Dynasty is within the enemy's strike range everywhere. It can be said that there is no way to prevent it!

You see, these two are Westerners. They all call them rakshasas!

Their country is tens of thousands of miles to the west, just last summer. It was they who took 4,300 cavalry, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and attacked the garrison of our Ming Dynasty.

Thousands of soldiers and civilians in Mengjiatun were slaughtered by them with their men. Ten days later, the bodies of countless victims who were drowned at the bottom of the Heilongjiang River surfaced on the surface of the water and flowed downstream, floating oil layers on the surface of the river, and the river water was strangely fishy.

If you don't guard the strait, build the first barrier for our Ming Dynasty. In the future, there will be an unknown number of such tragedies. Brethren, will you agree? ”

"No!"

"Good! Then guard the south gate for the Ming Dynasty, and prevent our people from suffering bad luck again! ”
