"Mr. Watt, this is the steam engine?" Wu Sangui felt that the behemoth in front of him was a little different from the imaginary steam engine.

"Sir Wu! In fact, the steam engine used to be used in England to pump water in coal mines. However, because the previous steam engine did not use a rubber airtight ring, the power is far inferior to the product I make now. Or did you remind me that I knew that rubber was used to strengthen the airtightness, which led to the creation of the steam engine in front of me.

I guess it's unique in the world! Watt looked at his roaring monster with a smug expression.

"Another self-righteous fool!" Wu Sangui muttered, of course he muttered in Chinese.

"Sir Wu, what did you say?" Watt, who was immersed in the joy of successful research and development, looked at Wu Sangui in puzzlement.

"Oh, nothing! Feel that you are especially great, and that the Western world will change because of you. Wu Sangui's expression was solemn, and he looked very respectful.

"Thank you for your compliment, Sir Wu." When Watt heard Wu Sangui say this, his heart was happy.

"I've heard that in Daming they used this thing to drive wagons on steel rails faster than the fastest horses. And it can also be mounted on a warship, and with this thing as power, sail unstoppably on the oceans. Can you transform this thing like that? Wu Sangui was not very satisfied with the guy in front of him who was constantly devouring coal and making noise, but could only pump water.

"The wagons are driving on the tracks! And to install this thing on a ship? Watt looked at the behemoth in front of him and felt that Wu Sangui's words were a little incredible. But when you think about it, it seems that these are all feasible. After all, the steam engine can be the driving force behind everything. All that's needed is a more ingenious mechanical structure.

"It seems to be possible, but it needs further research and development. How to convert the power of the steam engine into other power. ”

"Great, Mr. Watt. As long as your experiment is successful, George and I will certainly ask Her Majesty for credit. A knighthood will not reward you for your deeds, and you will become the greatest inventor of the Western world. "After staying with Watt for a long time, Wu Sangui knows that Watt likes to wear a top hat the most, and he is very keen on the title. Belongs to the kind of person who can talk in his sleep and become a nobleman.

"Thank you, Sir Wu, I will definitely work hard." Satisfied, Watt spread out the drawings and took a pencil to write and draw on them.

"Wu! This thing is the steam engine you are talking about? It doesn't seem to be of much use, I think this thing can only be pumped. George looked at the steam engine and looked at Wu Sangui with some confusion. He didn't quite believe how the monster in front of him was loaded onto the boat. In that case, how big the ship would have to be. Listening to Wu Sangui's meaning, how is it possible to build ships with steel?

"It was because of this thing that Da Ming successfully built the invincible armada on the sea. When our fleet of England encounters it, we have to retreat. Nowadays, we are not much worse than Da Ming in terms of weapons. But for other things, we are far inferior to Da Ming.

The news from the spies is that a large-scale railway is being built on the land of Daming. This mist-spraying thing can carry a mountain of goods into a crate, pushing faster than a horse. It only takes one day to travel such a long distance from New Delhi to Mumbai.

Also, their ships were not only me, but many people saw them. It's really made of steel, and it's spewing black smoke. Across the sea, our shells hit the steel hull and will be bounced back by the hull of others.

We have a powerful fleet, but I never dare to cross the strait, because of the presence of such ironclad warships. As long as we also have ironclad warships, we can occupy the straits. Then swept along the strait across the South China Sea, and then went north to dig at Daming's soft lower abdomen.

Believe me, George, the profits from such a trip will be very lucrative. That's more than you could have paid in India for 10 years!

Moreover, we can also open up the trade routes of the Ming Dynasty. You can traffic the duck slices to Daming. You shouldn't be unaware of how profitable it is. Wu Sangui knew that George was an animal of interests, and he needed enough interests to impress him. Having lived in India for so long, Wu Sangui has long learned how to manipulate people's hearts. Of course, Liu Ru played a big role behind the scenes.

"Huh! If that were the case, the British Empire would have become the world's first power. The great Anglo-Saxons, who will definitely rule the world. George looked wistfully into the distance, imagining how great the British Empire would be.

"Another madman!" Wu Sangui shook his head helplessly, raised his legs and walked out of the laboratory.

The steam engine was very exciting to watch just now, but after staying for a long time, even my ears will be shocked and deaf. Talking to George and Watt, Wu Sangui used a roar, and now he felt a little sore in his throat.

Outside the city of Mumbai, strings of ox carts meander their way north with their goods. This was the bullock cart for the Mongols to pull the arms, and after the arms were transported to the Ili River Valley, the replenished Mongols would continue to attack the Ming army.

Wu Sangui knew George's dream, and he also knew Batur Huntaiji's dream. Break through the defense line of the Ming army, enter the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and complete the great cause of Genghis Khan. This is the ambition of Batur Huntaiji!

For this ambition, he will definitely send more Mongol warriors to attack the Ming Dynasty. Attract more and more troops of the Ming Dynasty to the vast northwest. As long as it drags on for two or three years, he can build a huge fleet by himself, and then take this invincible fleet to occupy the Strait Castle. Then they went north and attacked the coastal cities of Daming.

From Guangzhou to Quanzhou and Ningbo, the Ming Society collapsed in the two-front battle. Wu Sangui knew that even if it was a behemoth like Daming, its national strength would not be able to cope with a two-front battle. This is how the Chongzhen Dynasty collapsed.

"Brother Wu Sangui, you are our Mongolian forever friend. You are welcome to the grassland, and we will entertain you with the most mellow mare's milk wine. Danzira touched her chest with her hand and saluted Wu Sangui.

This time, Wu Sangui was very generous, not only giving away a lot of arms. He also carefully drew drawings for the manufacture of ammunition to Zilharang, believing that the workshop controlled by the Jurchens would soon be able to produce qualified bullets. Prior to this, Wu Sangui had already shared the recipe for gunpowder with the Mongols.

The price of the Mongols was nothing more than five beautiful women and a cartload of gold, silver and precious stones.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go to the grassland, and I will have a good drink with you when the time comes." Wu Sangui hugged Danzila very warmly, and Danzira was smelling of it, so smoked that Wu Sangui fainted.

Holding back his vomiting, Wu Sangui smiled and shook hands with Zilharang. It's better to be a Jurchen, at least there is no smell of smoking brain pain.

"Your drawings are very important, and Dorgon has learned how to make new gunpowders. Now that there are drawings of ammunition again, it is believed that bullets and shells will soon be made. We no longer have to transport arms from faraway India to the steppes.

You don't know, it's a hard and dangerous journey. If the bump is severe, those shells will explode. Last year, we had hundreds of people killed in ammunition explosions. ”

"You don't have to worry this time, the ammunition has been carefully packed. As long as you don't just hit it with a hammer, you should be fine. Take my words to heart and encourage the Mongols to continue their attack on the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. Attract the main force of the Ming Dynasty to the northwest!

In the future, only we will succeed, or the Mongols will succeed. Liaodong, or your Jurchen Liaodong. I promise! ”

"Thank you!" Zilharang shook hands with Wu Sangui again, and then chased the convoy with Danzira and the others.

"Let's go! If the people of the Rakshasa country are also willing to intervene, then the Ming Dynasty will be even more lively. What a fucking busy day! Wu Sangui complained and rode back to the city of Mumbai, where the Rakshasa mission lived.

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

Hong Chengchou looked at the majestic castle in front of him, and felt proud in his heart. To be able to build such a castle in my lifetime is a great feat for the ages. The huge stone walls, let alone cannonballs, will have to be blown up for a while even if they are blasted with explosives.

Xinjiapo City faces the sea, and where it faces the sea, the vegetation has been uprooted. The sandy beach stretches infinitely below the city, forming an artificial desert. Anyone who wants to land from the sea and attack Xinjiapo will have to pay a great price.

Just when Hong Chengchou was grateful for his achievements, a string of ox carts drove out of the city gate and headed for Deep Water Bay in the distance.

It's a daily scene, and the ox cart is strewn with corpses. Some committed suicide because they could not bear the abuse of the overseers, and some tried to escape and were captured and executed. There are also those who are exhausted, starving, and even thirsty.

Most of these people were emaciated to the bones, which was the result of the Japanese people withholding their rations. The Japanese were very good at overseeing the work, and they divided the people into two teams. The two teams work together, and the natural winner's reward is rations.

The team that works a lot and fast always gets enough rations. The slow team always gets enough food. In the end, the slower team will be tormented by heavy labor and malnutrition, and there will be only a few people left.

However, the Japanese people were not worried about this, and Mori Kogoro was always able to gather enough indigenous people from all corners of the South China Sea. Of course, he won't work in vain. Hong Chengchou will give him enough money to buy these natives. Some strong natives would be transported to the Ming Dynasty and sold to the Ming people at a high price as coolies or slaves.

In this way, Hong Chengchou can offset the funds for the construction of the new home. As for the part that was offset, it was handed over to the imperial court, and only God knows how much was left. Hong Chengchou's accounts have always been confused.

The corpses of the natives were transported to Deep Water Bay, where huge crocodiles were already waiting. One by one, the corpses were thrown down, and the crocodiles grabbed the corpse's arms or legs. Then the whole body kept flipping, and the arms or thighs were twisted off the human body. Then, the crocodiles will swallow their arms and legs directly.

Obviously, this kind of thing happens every day. The crocodiles have learned to work together and do not fight for food. The corpse of a native was quickly dismembered and swallowed into the stomach. There are a lot of corpses, and there are clearly not enough crocodiles. When the crocodiles feel full, they run to the beach and bask in the sun with their mouths wide open. The huge fangs are chilling in the sun.

The Japanese people are no longer afraid of this thing, because this thing will never attack the Japanese people. The beasts also seemed to know that the Wa people had come to bring them food. Even if the Japanese people secretly hunted two crocodiles, stripped off the crocodile skins and sold them to the Ming people, these crocodiles would still not attack them.

The corpses drift with the current, and soon strange currents will carry them to the sea. Shark fins with triangular shapes appear on the surface of the sea, and then the carcasses are gnawed by sharks. There are significantly more sharks in the sea than crocodiles, and if they don't have carcasses, they will disappear in the bay if they float out to the open sea.

These natives are as if they never appeared in this world, and they disappear without a trace. It turns into crocodile or shark droppings to feed the sea or palm trees on the beach.

Hong Chengchou looked at the castle on the other side of the strait, which was much smaller than the strait castle. The walls were not high enough, and were made of sand and gravel. It is estimated that in the event of a larger typhoon, the fate of these walls is worrying.

It was a castle built by the Japanese people in return for the Japanese army. Li Xiao promised to allocate land to the Japanese so that they could live in the South China Sea. The Japanese also built a port there, and the draft was not as deep as that of the Ming Dynasty. However, there were more than enough ships to dock at the Wa Kingdom, and these sea ships could transport the Western goods purchased by the Wa people to the Wa State or sell them in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, they will also sell the things purchased by the Ming Dynasty to Westerners through the docks.

Since the Ming Dynasty occupied the Strait Castle, the cargo ships of the West could only stop there. No matter what kind of cargo is being transported, it must not cross the strait, otherwise it will be sunk by the artillery without hesitation.

After sinking several merchant ships, Western and Arab merchants all accepted this harsh clause. As a last resort, sell the goods to the Ming people or the Japanese people, and then drive the ship back.

After a few times, they found that the profit they had made was not quite a lot. They were happy to transship in this way, and some wealthy Arab merchants even wanted to buy a piece of land in Xinjiapo and use it as a warehouse to hoard goods.

Of course, buying land only counts with the nod of the governor, Hong Chengchou, even on the side of the Japanese people. What used to be the same drudgery has now become fat. Unconsciously, Hong Chengchou felt that he was in love here. It doesn't matter if you don't go back to the Central Plains in this life, Xinjiapo is just a little hotter, and adding two more pieces of ice to the room is not a big deal.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Imperial Court has an urgent report."

Hong Chengchou unfolded the brown paper envelope and took out the letterhead inside. After looking at it, my eyes narrowed.

"Want to immigrate 180,000 Cao Gang people to come to Xinjiapo?"
