"Let's talk about it! How can you help me? Li Xiao was a little impatient, an old man who hid his head and shrunk his tail, why did he follow Lao Tzu with five or six people.

"Hehe, what the old man can help you with is...... Let the world's readers listen to you. In other words, let all the people in the world help you. They will go to your official office on an errand and deliver the imperial decree. will also show up in your class to help you teach those kids to read. Believe me, these people are definitely better at teaching than people you don't know where to recruit them. ”

"Is there such a good thing?" This news surprised Li Xiao too much. Because of the boycott of the Donglin Party, the imperial court is now in a serious shortage of people, and those who are really talented and learned are all unwilling to come out to be officials. As a direct result, many positions are held by one person, and the final result is that the more errands there are, the more bad things can be.

Not to mention the elementary school, it's all improvised guys. The quality is really uneven, anyway, literacy is done. There is no way, people who read books are reluctant to come out and become teachers. At this time, they seem to have forgotten that the saint once said that there is no class.

"What do you want?"

"What the old man wants, and I am a rich country and a strong soldier."

"Huh! I believe you, but you still have to talk to Sun Lao about this matter. "It's all a demon who has become a spirit, so it's better to let Sun Chengzong deal with this old fox. I just don't know which of the two of them will be higher.

"Big brother!" Seeing Li Xiao turn around to leave, Li Hao hurriedly grabbed Li Xiao.

"Oh!" Only then did Li Xiao remember the purpose of coming this time.

"You! Zhang Daoling, follow me. Li Xiao pointed at Zhang Daoling and said with an evil look.

"Huh! Poor road ......! Zhang Daoling had never met such a domineering character, and looked at Li Xiao very dissatisfied. I've seen a lot of officials, and it's the first time I've seen such an arrogant one.

"If you don't come with me, I'll send someone to blow up your Dragon Tiger Mountain. Don't doubt my abilities, do what I say. Li Xiao didn't give this old man the slightest breathing space.

Li Hao and Li Xiu looked at Li Xiao, and they saw little stars in their eyes. It's so domineering!

Zhang Daoling was also choked by Li Xiao, and when he saw a row of black hole muzzles, Zhang Daoling quickly compromised. No matter how high his martial arts are, he is afraid of kitchen knives, and the old fairy has to bow his head in the face of the muzzle.

"Hehehe! Funny boy. "The old bastard, but seeing Li Xiao so arrogant, he actually clapped his hands like a child, "hehe", "he", and laughed.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Sir Wu! This is Mr. Watt, from Cambridge, and he is interested in the kind of steam engine you are talking about. George came with an Englishman, and the fellow saw George call the Oriental man in front of him a knight. immediately took off his top hat and saluted Wu Sangui very respectfully.

Wu Sangui looked at the person in front of him, with a high nose bridge and blue eyes. The hair had begun to cease out, and it was bright and shiny in the middle, except for the blonde hair on the sides.

I once heard that Cambridge University in England was good, and Wu Sangui entrusted George to go to Cambridge to find talents. The main thing is to tinker with the steam engine, and he only knows the principle of this thing, and he doesn't know anything specific. But he didn't expect that after applying for nearly a year, London actually sent such a middle-aged uncle to him.

"Hello Mr. Watt, do you know what kind of machine I'm going to build?" Although I am not very optimistic about the guy in front of me, there is no one around me now, so I can only treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

"Mr. Sir, the kind of thing you are talking about, Mr. George has already introduced. I look like the machines used to pump water in our coal mines in England. But it seems that the power is more powerful than that of a pump, and of course, it is more functional. But in general, it should not be bad in principle.

The University of Cambridge is already working on this, and we have worked on a lot of materials, but we can't keep the pressure up. We suspect that there is a problem with the sealing. We...... We haven't solved this problem yet. "Watt's accent, distinctly Scottish. If this were in London, it would be absolutely despised. But in India, no one said anything.

In fact, as long as you can speak English, you can despise the promiscuous Indians in India. This country is very strange, and even their country is actually united by the British. Before that, they had never established a unified great dynasty.

"I'm glad Mr. Watt, I hope you will overcome this problem as soon as possible. You'll get everything you need in India! Hearing Watt say so professionally, Wu Sangui's heart blossomed. Unexpectedly, a person from England would be able to crack the secret of the steam engine. As long as you can build a steam engine, you can build that kind of high-speed ironclad ship.

After seeing Zhenyuan and Zhiyuan, Wu Sangui understood. In the future, these formidable warships will be eliminated by the navy in the future. He even felt that without ironclads, he and George would not even be able to hold India.

"It's a pleasure to serve you, Lord Sir." Watt bowed, full of curiosity about the nobleman of the East.

"Mr. Watt, please." The butler came over and went out with Watt. Wu Sangui and George still have something to talk about!

"Mr. Watt, have you ever heard of something called rubber? I heard that this thing can be used as a sealing material! Watching Watt walk to the door, Wu Sangui suddenly remembered. In the past, when I was in the Liao army, I often heard that ships from the south carried something called rubber. Boots made of this stuff won't get water even on rainy days. The raincoat made of this thing is much lighter than the cloth, and the rainproof performance is not known how many times better than the rainproof clothing.

In the past, Wu Sangui had a set of raincoats and rain boots.

"Rubber ......! Haven't heard of it, where did you learn about this material? Watt asked hesitantly.

"I don't know where that thing came from, I just know that this thing seems to solve the problem you said." Wu Sangui spread his hands, looking like he couldn't help. Watt had no choice but to give another salute and was taken out by the butler. Tonight, Bombay also held a phantom banquet especially for him. The whole of Mumbai has a head and a face, and they will come to show their faces.

"Alright! Goodbye, Mr. Wu. I'll come back to you with questions about the steam engine, that sketch you drew is very valuable. ”

"Goodbye!" Wu Sangui looked very personable and waved his hand at Watt.

Watt walked out of the door, and the butler closed the door.

"Wu! Do you know? The Mongols fought with the Ming for a year, suffering tens of thousands of casualties, but they failed to take even a city in the Ming Kingdom. I don't know how an army armed with firearms can achieve nothing like this. Are we looking for the wrong allies, they are not the Tatars of hundreds of years ago. George was annoyed that the Mongols had been given a large number of arms and that the Mongols had not been able to achieve a corresponding military victory.

He came today to discuss with Wu Sangui to end the arms aid to the Mongols.

"George! Let the Mongols go to war with the Ming army, which means a lot. As far as I know, the Mongol offensive was defeated. But they also succeeded in dragging the huge strength of the Liao army in the northwest!

As far as I know, the main forces of the Liao Army stationed in the northwest now include the Third Field Division and the Fourth Field Division. George, you know what? There are only four such divisions in the Liao army. Now both are in the northwest, which means that the Mongols pinned down half of the main force of the Ming army in the northwest.

Their military defeat was entirely due to the fact that the Ili River valley was too far from Gansu. More than 2,000 miles of supply lines would be a mortal wound for any army. The Mongols fought to this extent, which is already quite good. Moreover, the Mongols had firearms. But don't forget that the Ming army was equipped with firearms earlier than the Mongol army, and the weapons were better than the Mongols.

Backed by huge state support, they can recruit countless people to transport food and ammunition from the customs to the front line. The Mongols could not do this in any way. ”

"Since the Mongols are not serving our purpose, we need to withdraw our arms supply to them. They asked for so much that we couldn't afford to have that much gear. In order to provide them with equipment, we did not have enough weapons when we changed our own equipment. Wu, we have to pack our own army first. ”

"George! It makes a lot of sense to draw the attention of the Ming people to the northwest. Come and see here! Wu Sangui walked over to the huge map hanging on the wall.

This map is a map of the world, not only of Europa and Asia. It even marked North and South America, as well as Australia. For hundreds of years, navigators in England and throughout Europe have enriched this map. When Wu Sangui saw it for the first time, he felt amazed, it turned out that the world was so big.

Wu Sangui pointed to Xinjiapo: "This is the throat of the strait, I once thought about sending someone to seize it, but it failed." By occupying this place, you will occupy an important passage between the east and the west. The Ming could use this as a base to continue their advance towards the Indian Ocean. As soon as Wu Sangui's hand moved, out of the strait, Sri Lanka and India were naturally there.

"They're heading into the Indian Ocean and they're not going to let go of a natural harbor like Mumbai. And then there's Sri Lanka, how important the location is. The Ming people also have no reason to let it go!

If the Mongols had not been pulled behind, they would have drawn their forces long ago and began to explore South Asia. I am also a native of the Ming Kingdom, and I know the greed of the Ming people. Especially Li Xiao, his greed for land and population is beyond your imagination.

George, we need to continue to support the Mongols. Let more Mongols harass the northwest until the Ming people continue to use troops in the northwest and invest a lot of troops in the northwest. As long as the Ming people are dragged for a few years, we may have a way to retake the strait.

Time! What we need now is time, and only by delaying enough time can we have the strength to defeat the Ming people. Fulfill Her Majesty's wish and force the Ming people to recognize the legalization of the duck slice trade. In this way, the East India Company was able to earn a huge amount of profits in the Ming Kingdom. George, I don't need to tell you how rich Daming is.

Just blast open their doors and force them to sign free trade agreements, and gold and silver will break through your coffers, I promise! Wu Sangui looked at George's blue eyes and was very serious.

"Okay Wu! If you are sure that this is necessary, I can continue to help you. "George is also riding a tiger now, he has invested too much in this matter, if he withdraws his shares now, he will lose all his money.

"Can Mr. Watt make a steam engine?" George suddenly thought of Watt, and he instinctively didn't trust the Scots.

"I had a feeling that he could make a steam engine. If we really have a steam engine, we can build an ironclad warship like the Ming Kingdom. George! The ironclad battleship is now only in the hands of the Ming people in the Far East. If this thing is driven back to Europe, the soldiers will be invincible.

Didn't Her Majesty always think that Normandy should also be the domain of England? As long as you have ironclads, I don't think Normandy is a problem. When the time comes, you may be made a duke.

England has the Duke of York, the Duke of Nottingham, and it seems that there is still a Duke of Edinburgh. Wu Sangui also knew a lot of knowledge about people in England during this time, and he winked mischievously at this George.

"Oh! Go, I'm not interested in the Scottish place. I don't like their first night right even more! George knew that Wu Sangui was making fun of him, but he still couldn't suppress his excitement. Perhaps, he could be made a duke in an overseas territory.

"You really don't like their first night rights?" Wu Sangui smiled evilly.

"Oh! Wu, those Scottish women don't like us Englishmen either. They're going to make themselves stinky and make you have no desire at all. I still like you oriental women, there is no abnormal smell on your body. Moreover, many Oriental women are not inferior to Scottish women. "After five years in the East, George seems to have fallen in love with the East.

"Alright! All right! When we occupy Guangzhou, you will have countless women who have no smell on their bodies. I promise, the body is hotter than the other. When the time comes, I'm afraid that your body will not work. Wu Sangui's "hey", "hey", "hey" evil smile, in fact, he doesn't like those Western women with a strong body odor.

However, Wu Sangui has made a lot of money by selling perfumes to Europe over the years. Now Wu Sangui has built a perfume factory in Mumbai, earning countless silver dollars from Europa every year.

"There will be a few Mongolians coming tonight, so let's meet together. Gotta give the Mongols a hard beat, or these cunning guys will back down. Wu Sangui walked to the wine cabinet and poured George a glass of brandy. Now he loves to drink this wine!

"Oh! No, the smell of a Mongolian is worse than that of a European woman. And these guys sing when they drink, and when they drink, it's a night, who can stand this, or you work hard. For dinner tonight, I invited an Indian princess. ”

"Hehe, princess of which family?"
