Bang Bang Bang!

Northwest India.

The rear-loading gun in Lebao's hand fired a few quick shots.

A hundred meters away, several wooden targets were smashed into sawdust.

"What a gun!"

Le Bao is naturally knowledgeable, and this kind of Ming Army-standard rear-loading gun purchased from smuggling channels is not well-made, needless to say, this is not a firearm made by a handicraft workshop that is common in India, but a standardized industrial product produced by an industrial assembly line.

Its quality and stability are not comparable to those of the handicraft workshop.

And even more critical than quality is the rate of fire!

This was his first contact with the reloader, but after he got acquainted with it, he was soon able to reload, fire, and fire in between two or three breaths.

Shooting is five or six times faster than the average front-loading gun!

If it's a skilled soldier to do it, maybe it's more than that.

"This is how the Western Dusi used this kind of firearm to defeat the Rakshasas."

It is Zhang Hanchao, the number two person in the current Lebao military and political group, who is speaking.

He was originally a Han official in Shaanxi.

At best, it is the brains of Lebao.

But now, because Le Baoxi brought a large number of Han Chinese with him when he fled, these Han people were all incorporated into the Eight Banners.

As a result, the composition of the Eight Banners is somewhat complicated, and Zhang Hanchao is quite famous among these Han people, and in Qikaicheng, Zhang Hanchao's status has climbed to the point where it is second only to Le Bao.

And with the consolidation of the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

This remnant army is also facing the question of where to go - they don't need to think about this problem yet, because their north is the Pingxi Domain, although the Pingxi Domain is a Ming vassal vassal, but the autonomy is still very high, not to mention that the north of Central Asia is Russian.

In order to consolidate its rule in the Ferghana Basin, the Pingxi Domain did not meet with the Lebao army.

Instead, the two sides made a deal – the Pingxi Domain in the Ferghana Basin exported grain and used it to buy white slaves from northwestern India.

The relationship between the two sides is quite harmonious.

But now.

The Ming Dynasty completely expelled the Russians from Central Asia and also established the Central Asian Protectorate.

Fortunately, the Pingxi Domain was able to open up the Ferghana Basin, accept immigrants from the Han region, and even send the children of the princes of the Pingxi Domain to school in the southern capital - and after a generation, the Pingxi Domain was completely integrated into the Chinese system.

But what about Lebao and his Eight Banners?

There is the Ming Dynasty in the north.

In the south, there are the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty.

Can the remnants of the Qing Dynasty keep their current territory safely?

When all the kingdoms of the entire Eastern World surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, Le Bao and his Eight Banners soldiers were very eye-catching.

Even if Da Ming seems to have forgotten about their remnants of the former Qing Dynasty.

But now in Qikai City, many remnants of the Eight Banners have a kind of panic that cannot be stopped.

And some Han people who were coerced and are now included in the Eight Banners believe that they can completely obtain the right to establish a vassal state in Kaicheng in Qikai by defecting to the Ming Dynasty - they are originally the Han people of Gansu, Shaanxi, and Shaanxi.

"Actually, firearms are only part of the equation, the key is artillery! The infantry of the Ming army can crush the elite cavalry of the Rakshasa people head-on with dense firepower! ”

Zhang Hanchao said.

"The era when the people of the steppe could confront the Central Plains with the advantage of cavalry is over. It is impossible to produce muskets, artillery on the steppe! ”

When Le Bao heard this, he could only nod silently.

"What did the British Duke say?"

"He suggested going to the table, and he was called a minister!"

"Table above. "Le Bao groaned slightly, "Will the Ming Court accept it?" ”

"So. We also need to have a vote! ”

"Vote?"

"Yes!"

"Who's the vote?"

"Kolkata!"

"Can we take Kolkata?" Lebao frowned.

"It's hard, though. We can try. Zhang Hanchao said. After all, we are still nominally allies with the Britons. I've been reading Western classics lately, and there's an interesting story called the Trojan Horse Massacre! ”

"Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang" Le Bao said in a low voice.

The Britons were in fact prepared for the Le Bao Society to defect to the Ming Dynasty.

But in the face of the sneak attack of the Eight Banners, as well as the onslaught of the concentrated forces of the princes' coalition forces.

The British, who could not be replenished, eventually lost their last colony in India.

The [Treaty of European Alliance] and [Lebao Please Feng Songshu] were almost front and back, and they went to Emperor Zhu's desk together.

"The great European unity, the integration of the Eastern world, is also basically complete."

Emperor Zhu put these two documents on his desk, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With the power of the British Empire completely expelled from India.

As a result, a situation of confrontation between the East and the West has been clearly divided.

For both the East and the West.

In the next 10 years, or even 20 years, the most important thing is to integrate internally!

on this.

Emperor Zhu was very confident.

Because the East has an absolute core.

And in the West

The British Empire and the French Empire are the twin giants, and there are also Russia, Prussia, Austria, Hungary and other countries below.

Relations between countries are complex, and interests have been entangled for thousands of years.

How can it be so easy to integrate?

So.

For Zhu Daohua.

The so-called European Alliance.

It's a knife in his hand.

A "paper tiger" that forced all strata in the Ming Dynasty to refuse to lie flat and continue to develop.

Right now.

Footsteps outside the hall sounded intensively.

Zhu Daohua raised his head, stretched, and then changed to a majestic expression of the founding emperor.

Tao Biquan, Peng Jun and Gu Song, who succeeded Luo Fangbo as president of the National Association for the Promotion of Industry and Commerce, strode in.

Zhu Daohua sat on the throne and waved his hand.

Soon.

The lady who was waiting for her moved a few chairs and asked the three of them to sit down and talk.

Although the authority of Emperor Zhu, the founding emperor, is real.

In Europe, many media have called him "the most powerful emperor of all time".

But he was still not comfortable with the minister on his knees or standing far away to speak.

He prefers to have ministers sit around and discuss things as if they were in a meeting.

The establishment of the European Alliance is a diplomatic event, but the Ming Dynasty has long been able to deal with it.

And Le Bao's request for sealing is not a big deal for Daming.

It may have a symbolic meaning, but that's about it.

Therefore.

The three important ministers of the Ming Dynasty came together, and it was definitely not because of the European Alliance and Lebao's request for sealing.

"Your Majesty, after discussion among the Cabinet, the Executive Yuan, and the Council, the [Outline for the Economic Development of the Greater China Customs Area] has taken shape, and your meaning has been reflected in it."

Peng Jun handed over a thick book.

Zhu Daohua flipped through the previous table of contents, and then handed it to the female official next to him, and explained: "Copy a copy, let the prince read it and write a copy of his thoughts to me." ”

"Yes!"

The female officer took the order and left, and the eyes of the three ministers suddenly showed sympathy.

Get.

The little fat prince has a headache these days. (End of chapter)
