The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

During the arms deal negotiations with the Li Dynasty, the officials of the Li Dynasty were all smiling on the outside but confused on the inside.

A new rifle costs 50 dragon yuan per bar, a Franco machine gun costs 2000 dragon yuan, and a 5000-pound field cannon costs 6 dragon yuan.

Dutch people, if you do business like this, your conscience really won’t hurt?

The "Dutch" said, as long as I have no conscience, how can I have a conscience?

In the end, the arms contract worth RMB 500 million was successfully finalized after friendly exchanges between the two parties.

其中400万龙元用于采购8万支米尼步枪，余下的100万则是采购了50门6磅野-战炮和100门佛朗机炮，剩下的就是弹药钱了。

When this arms order was delivered to Zhu Heyu, he was shocked.

He really didn't expect that these Li Dynasty people would purchase so many arms, and this group of people would be so rich!So much so that Ming's current inventory is completely insufficient.

However, no problem.

Even in later generations, how many large arms deals can be delivered in one go?

The money is collected first, and the goods are delivered slowly. If your country is gone before the arms are delivered, then you can't blame others.

In fact, with the size of Li Dynasty, it was impossible to spend so much money.

The reason why 500 million dragon yuan can be spent on arms procurement in one go must be attributed to the Manqing, or to those former Manqing officials who took advantage of the money and ran away.

Previously, those Qing officials who had chosen to flee due to the Ming army's attack fled into Annan with their money and began to buy houses and land.

Because of their high-profile behavior and generous spending, they quickly attracted the attention of the Li Dynasty.

After some investigation, Li Weiqiao found out where these people came from.

Although these people were from the Manqing, and the Manqing was the nominal suzerainty of the Li Dynasty, these people were now absconding Manqing officials. Who would know if they were robbed?

And according to their Annan white-eyed wolf tradition, you are the mother when you have breasts. Now that the Qing Dynasty has been beaten by the Ming Dynasty, who cares about you?

This is unjustifiable without robbing!

Therefore, those former Qing officials who fled to Annan and wanted to become rich were robbed by the Li Dynasty before they could wait for the Ming Dynasty's liquidation.

But what the Li Chao people did was not pretty.

You said you were going to steal things, but you didn't kill all the people!

After the surviving former barbarian and upright officials struggled to survive for a period of time, they heard that a barbarian and Qing army had entered the territory of Li Dynasty, so these people immediately ran to complain.

Strictly speaking, these people were originally fugitives from the Qing Dynasty, but when Shi Lin and Lu Zongyao thought that their current situation seemed to be not much different from that of this group of people, and after hearing about the tragic experience of this group of people in Annan, they , the two of them were angry!

It’s okay for the Ming army to bully the Qing Dynasty, but now even the small country of Zuo’er, Annan, dares to attack the people of the Qing Dynasty!Is this deceiving me that there is no one in the Qing Dynasty? (The Li Dynasty was called Annam in the Qing Dynasty)

So the 7 Qing troops who retreated into Annan began to attack the Annan army on the border under the orders of the two men, vowing to teach Annan a severe lesson.

The Qing army was indeed beaten to the point of being unable to resist when facing the Ming army, but it was completely different when facing the Annan people.

The Qing army, which had been carefully taught by the Ming army, now paid special attention to firearms. Although the 7 people who retreated into Annan were not equipped with Mini rifles, they still had thousands of blunderbuss.

The Qing army imitated the Ming army's original tactics and formed a formation to kill them. Under the volleys of gunfire, Annan's army was beaten and fled.

Although the performance of the blunderbuss is not as good as the mini rifle in all aspects, it is surprisingly effective against the Le Dynasty army, which is only equipped with broadswords, spears and no cavalry.

The Qing army fought consecutive battles, and the self-confidence that had disappeared after being crushed by the Ming army was actually found in these Annan people!

Seeing the invincible majesty of the Qing warriors on the battlefield, Guangzhou general Shi Lin was filled with pride and directly shouted the slogan to capture Tokyo City and capture Li Weijue alive.

It was precisely because of this slogan and the strength of the Qing army that Li Weiqian reluctantly took out all the money he had just snatched before he had time to warm it up to purchase arms.

Regardless of the reason, the arms purchase contract was signed anyway.

The arms were slowly delivered, but the 500 million dragon yuan required a one-time payment, and an additional 5% handling fee was charged if silver coins were used.

The Li Chao people still gritted their teeth and agreed to such an outrageous request.

It's just that the Emperor of Li Dynasty, Li Duicheng, who was angry in his heart, was already thinking about how to stumble the Dutch after he got all the arms and eliminated the Guangnan people and the Qing people.

At this moment, the Dutch had no idea that they had an enemy for some reason.

But they don't actually have to worry. After all, Li Chao will most likely not be able to wait until the day when it stumbles the Netherlands.

……

In mid-July, after solving the chieftains in Guizhou, Guangzhou and other places, the Ming army began to advance steadily towards Sichuan and Yunnan.

The chieftain forces in Yunnan were much larger than those in Guizhou and Guangxi provinces, but in the face of the Ming army equipped with machine guns and cannons, no matter how large the chieftain forces were, they quickly collapsed in the smoke of gunfire.

As for Sichuan?

To be honest, when the Ming army entered Sichuan, they encountered almost no resistance, and even saw very few living people.

Ruined walls and piles of dead bones were the most common sights the Ming army saw after entering Sichuan.

After decades of war, coupled with the massacre of Zhang Xianzhong, the murderous devil, the people of Sichuan were completely wiped out.

According to statistics from the Qing Dynasty in 1659, the population of Sichuan was only 16096 households, or more than 9 people!

With such a sparse population, in order to restore the population of Sichuan, Yanxi began to recruit people from other provinces to reclaim wasteland.

But before it could last a few years, the San Francisco Rebellion broke out, and Wu Sangui's army entered Sichuan. The eight-year war once again nearly wiped out the people of Sichuan.

After the war, in order to restore the population of Sichuan, Langxi issued a series of preferential policies such as naturalization and Yongyetian, etc. People from Shaanxi, Hunan, Yunnan and other places began to immigrate to Sichuan.

However, naturalization and Yongyetian were only proposed last year. Many people are still waiting and watching. Moreover, the people who want to immigrate are basically the lower class people who cannot survive in their place of origin. The road to immigration is long and difficult to travel. Where does the expense come from?And with this Land Rover disaster raging, how will they get through this stretch of road?

Therefore, the population of Sichuan has not seen significant growth at this moment.

The main task of the Ming army after entering Sichuan was not to deal with the Qing army but to clean up the tiger problem.

The land of Sichuan has high mountains and dense forests, and there are already many tigers and leopards. Due to the years of war, the number of tigers is already more than the number of people.

In later generations, if you could see a South China tiger in the wild, it would definitely make the headlines the next day. But now, the number of tigers in Sichuan has become so large that tigers, solitary beasts, have turned into groups. Moreover, the prey of group actions is still humans!

According to records, Nanchong County once recruited 506 people, and then 228 people were eaten by tigers. Then, in order to fill the vacancies, 74 new people were recruited, and then 42 people were eaten...

The tiger problem has developed to the point where hordes come to the city to eat people, and Nanchong County is not far from the capital and is not a remote mountainous area!

Further north, some remote villages have even seen entire villages being eaten up by tigers.

Under such circumstances, it is urgent to eliminate the tiger problem.

In late August, except for the continuous sound of gunfire from Sichuan, most areas south of the Yangtze River had calmed down the fighting and raised bright flags.

There were also a small number of die-hard Tatars who hid in the mountains, and the Ming army also sent troops to clear them out.

However, what they need to worry about most is not the Ming army, but the jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains.

After all, with the Ming army's tiger extermination campaign, a considerable number of tigers have been driven back to the mountains. These beasts grew up eating humans, and humans have long been an item on their menu.
