Chapter 1160
At the turn of summer and autumn in the tenth year of Wanli, the military struggle in the world intensified, and it was time to use troops.

The left governor of the Ming Dynasty and Shaobao Qi Jiguang led the army to subdue Wulianghai, then walked westward to Dali Lake, defeated the barbarian Khan Court, and the new generation of Chahar Buyan Chechen Khan Buyan Boxi went to the city on the grassland, and then went out of the fortress The Long Live Army general Dong Yiyuan was defeated, and the last ruling minister of Khan Court quickly killed Hai in the battle. Khan Ting fled to the barren land in the north. Ask the Son of Heaven to canonize it.

6000 retired veterans from the Luomu Camp supported the old and the young. They were assigned to Tianjin, Guangzhou, and Quanzhou to board the ship, and successively arrived in the Southeast Asian countries of Luzon, Sulu, Java, and Malacca. Over 490 households made a living. Chen Lin, Minister of Nanyang, proposed to provide 27 to 7000 mu of grain for each household according to Dingkou, and distribute them to cattle, pigs, and sheep.

In the southwest, the Western Army and the Nanyang Army continued to convey the situation of the monks' westward expedition to Guangdong. Every time a fleet arrived in Bangladesh, the local monks were expanded by more than [-] people, which not only brought great pressure on the luggage, It also made the place where the monk army passed by become a battlefield for warriors to vent their anger, especially those warriors who had been accompanied by swords all their lives but lost their allegiance to their masters at this time.

The imperial court can’t see anything from the information about Bangladesh, because it doesn’t care about those places outside of China, but just look at the letters written by Nanyang Minister Chen Lin to Chen Bazhi, Wang Rulong, and Tokugawa Ieyasu: If even Nanyang The subordinate countries under the military government were dissatisfied with the brief stop of the monk army. People can imagine how bad it was there.

But in fact, Xiyang is not as bad as the court imagined, because there is a clan, and the royal family who are trapped by the clan laws can't do anything in the country, but each of them remembers who the ancestor who founded the foundation was, and also remembers the eight-year-old The little monk who lost his parents kept pace with the princes until he dominated the world.

These Fuguo and Fengguo generals who had obtained fiefdoms in the southwestern part of the Indian subcontinent unanimously wrote to the country, asking the emperor to allow them to drag this land back to feudalism. They sent a strict feudal guidebook, which resulted in a completely different result from the original intention of these clans.

This is very much in the emperor's mind. He really thinks that the monk army should have a little organizational power.

The emperor did divide the lands of the clans according to their wishes, but they were not the controllers of the army.

Wanli dismantled the eight guards of the Xiyang and Nanyang military mansions, and each guard selected a banner army of a thousand households and transferred them to Bangladesh. The retired veterans of the Heluomu Camp counted 120 officers and expanded 56 on the spot. The establishment of individual guards, each guard plans [-] mu of land, and the newly promoted commanders of each guard will recruit banner troops from among the monks and soldiers, re-register, distribute hundreds of acres of land, and collect taxes without payment. Cheng, [-]% of the war profit, ordered him to attack westward, win every battle, and record meritorious service to the Western Army.

For those who get rich and win land, [-]% goes to themselves, half becomes the salary of the directly subordinate officer, half becomes the salary of the directly subordinate army, [-]% becomes the income of the governing clan, and the remaining [-]% is turned over to the Nanyang Military Government.

When the emperor decided on this method, he even wanted to issue an edict to the whole country to recruit a senior robber in the Forbidden City to be his staff.

Later, Dudu Xu recommended Chen Mu, and he almost became the first one to accept the whipping that he had trained a court stick hand by himself.

The emperor said: The Siyang Military Mansion is the work of the state, can it be called a robber?

Finally, Lin Daoqian, the governor of Fenghuang Port, was found. The emperor thought he was professional, but Lin Daoqian didn't think he was not professional enough, and paid tribute to the Han Dynasty's war profit distribution law, and there were [-] vassals under the Western Army. The rent collection rules of the Western Expeditionary Guards.

Simple and crude.

Except for temple products and mineral products, whoever grabs everything counts.

Originally, the source of soldiers composed of armed monks and armed retired veterans omitted a lot of steps for the reorganization of the army. The twenty guards completed the reorganization of the army within three months, and the land behind them had not even been allocated. Not yet recruited, only a few people were left to pick up the recruits, and the twenty commanders had all led their subordinates, wrapped in the Bengali nobles who didn't know how to deal with this frenzy, all the way westward in the Indian subcontinent.

The battle reports they filed and sent to the imperial court by the Western military government are ridiculous. There will often be news that the full-stacked one-hundred-household department and one-thousand-household department were defeated by the third-rate troops of the local leaders, let alone the Mughal king army. Even more defeats than victories.They don't have the determination to die and tenacious fighting spirit, and they don't have the slightest sense of honor in the army. Even if they are led by the bravest generals, their tactics will become wretched.

Because they don't judge heroes by victory or defeat, there is no benefit in winning a battle. The division of labor and cooperation between the various troops at the level of command and envoy is very rare, which makes the phenomenon of besieging Wei and saving Zhao often appear on the battlefield.

Commander A was confronting the Mughal army, and the three commanders B, C, and D who were within a hundred miles of the battlefield had no idea of ​​rescue at all. After the local army was defeated, they looted and disappeared without a trace.

In addition to battles, they have incomparable advantages in ordinary encounters. Usually, the Jiabai households go to war with the local leaders, and the local leaders assemble more than a thousand barefoot and shirtless troops to kill them. Then hundreds of households such as B, C, and D rush to help, and then thousands of households such as A, B, C, and D attack according to the plan. Thousands of households under the command also rushed forward.

At the same time, the Atlantic Ocean is not calm.

After uniting Portugal, King Philip of Spain had the same style for a while. He used the strong shipbuilding capabilities of Spain and Portugal to build warships, and sent envoys to the overseas territories of the Habsburg countries to take over the colonies to convey the king's teachings.

Everything went very smoothly. After all, there were no colonies left in the two countries, and they were both islands in the Pacific Ocean. At this time, Portugal's Brazil was particularly important. Philip even planned to send people to East Africa and Goa to take a look. There has been no news about how the Portuguese is doing.

Taking advantage of Yang Ce's absence, Fei Laoer's envoy even went around the Cape of Good Hope!
He was caught by Lin Feng when he turned the corner, and seven boats, including the two teams who tried to cross South Africa from the shore, were all caught neatly, and then Fei Laoer received a greeting from Han King Lin Afeng, Borrow from him 12 and a half taels or [-] Spanish heavy arquebuses plus two [-]-ton galleons to pay the ransom for those captured.

Brazil also suffered a lot. The Spanish envoy is a young domestic nobleman who has never been to the New World before, so he is quite stubborn.

After arriving in El Salvador, the governor’s residence, he received news from the Portuguese governor that the Ming army had already set up camp in Rio de Janeiro. When he sailed to Rio on a large Galenic warship named San Mateus, this large Galenic ship The warship was built by Portugal for Philip in Lisbon, with a displacement of 750 tons... Before the war of succession began, people were already building warships for the King of Spain.

At the port, he saw that the Ming army was building a weird five-story building, each floor had pointed cornices covered with tiles, he had seen this kind of thing before, it was found in Daming Port, and it was said that it was the belief of the Daming people, A kind of temple.

But what is strange is why these two unfinished temples protrude from all directions with ferocious gun barrels?
And by the seaside, there are three Ming warships that are about the same size as the large Galen warships but a little thinner; there are also fifteen smaller warships that are all equipped with artillery.

Residents on the shore live in several large circular castles, and the castles are also full of muzzles and muzzles. In front of the enclosure, the messenger bravely squeezed the sweat in his back hands and announced to everyone in fluent Spanish: Portuguese Brazil had been brought under the command of the great King Philip.

No one paid any attention to him, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

It wasn't until he shouted for the third time that Lu Feng, the commandant of the Rio Guard, marked down a Qianhu who had just been promoted for three months before leaning out half of his body from the gun window of the surrounding building, and said loudly, "Don't Shouted, are you bothered? So what?"

"So, so?" The messenger blinked: "So you should leave here!"

Qianhu spit out impatiently towards the downstairs, leaned back from the gun window and leaned out again, pulled out a flintlock gun and fired it into the sky, suddenly all the muzzles of the hundreds of gun windows on the upper building stretched out the barrel cannon mouth, all kinds of firearms exploded into the sky.

"Don't look for death here, go back and tell Fei Laoer that Asia belongs to the Ming Empire and wants us to leave." Qianhu said condescendingly: "Yeah no!"

　Good morning!
