Chapter 638 Natural Allies

Although Ma Can was very afraid of this brother, he relied on the love of his father at home and acted like a good man: "Why did you scold me again? Fifth brother, aren't you happy to see me?"

Ma Cheng snorted with a dark face, and Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "I've been promoted again."

Ma Can proudly patted the seal. The 18-year-old major official was very rare in the Kaiyuan Army, so naturally no one was jealous. Isn’t it uncomfortable to compare his life experience with him?

Ma Can acted well and quickly apologized. When he exchanged greetings, the generals around him were smiling, and it was a bit warm and warm.

While laughing, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the guards behind Ma Can and said strangely: "Can'er, your guard is a little, uh, a little weird."

Ma Cheng was also grinning. The guard he picked was really special. There was a European mercenary who was more than two meters tall, and a thin, wretched and sloppy eyes. What kind of weird people are they? Looking at the mercenary

I felt a sudden change in my heart. Are the heavy European infantry of the same era really a unique and sharp army. As for the thin man who used the Japanese sword, he was probably a good pirate from pirates.

These things must be investigated by the Wei Dynasty to ensure that the eight generations of this man's ancestors can be found.

The tall mercenary was extremely awkward in Chinese, but he could barely hear clearly. He said that he was a Swedish mercenary and had served under the command of Swedish King Gustav II. Ma Cheng couldn't help but look up to him.

Is the heavy infantry under the command of the Second Emperor? No wonder he is so brave. For the famous Swedish emperor of the same era, Ma Cheng has been interested in it for a long time. Is it a good choice to form an alliance with Sweden after a move in his heart?

Sweden and the Ming Dynasty had no territorial disputes, nor had hegemony disputes on the oceans. They could be said to be natural ally.

The Swedish Army is an invincible giant. The navy is careless and not even pediatrics, which seriously drags down the army. Since the Ming Dynasty and Swedish countries have no conflict of interest, they are naturally natural ally, and finding allies in Europe is also

A must. Although Macheng was arrogant, he was not so arrogant that he didn't need allies. Now the Portuguese, an ally of the Ming Dynasty, is too weak, so it's time to find a powerful new ally.

A grand plan was proposed, the Ming Dynasty went west and Sweden went east, and the two armies attacked the powerful Tsarist Russia.

The Swedish mercenaries were shocked, and Lu Xiangsheng, Ma Can and others were also shocked. Looking at the coach who was talking, he was confused. But Ma Cheng became more and more excited as he spoke. This matter was reliable.

Now, Gustav should be teaching the Germans a lesson and ambitiously swinging his sword to the Catholic Union countries of the Eastern European Catholic Union. If Gustav does not die and defeats the Catholic Union, Gustav will be imperative to conquer Russia in the east.

.

In this way, the two conveniences have common interests, and attacking Russia is not empty talk. I was happy and highly praised the Swedish mercenary and ordered him to take a few people back to Europe on a merchant ship to contact the Swedish king Gustav and establish

A smooth communication channel. The Swedish soldier was ecstatic when he received a heavy appreciation. He knelt down and kowtowed hard, patted his chest to ensure that he would bring the letters and gifts from the commander back to Sweden.

Ma Can grinned when he grabbed the gift list. This gift is really heavy. Brother has invested a lot. On the long gift list that Ma Cheng personally opened, there are ten ships of precious silk tea and five ships of Indian iron.

Other porcelain produced by the Ming Dynasty, weaving brocades and twenty ships of heavy gifts, and they were given to the Swedish king Gustav. The gift list and a letter were written, and they were handed over to the three departments of Taiwan to prepare and handle, which cost 200,000 taels of silver

The giant.

The Swedish soldiers were as if they were trapped in the clouds, and they were excitedly swept away with one step higher and one lower.

Lu Xiangsheng said in confusion: "Open the city, the gift is so high!"

Ma Cheng smiled and explained that this gift must be heavy. Brother Jiandou, you don’t know the majesty of Gustav.

Lu Xiangsheng no longer had any worries, and he only had 200,000 taels of silver. The money that the three departments in Taiwan could still pay according to the wishes of the Grand Marshal.

In the mountains, the weather is obviously warming and the snow melts, and the mountain roads are muddy and difficult to walk.

When the frozen soil was loose, Director Zhan of the Ming Army swung his pickaxe to pull the trap and dug the trenches layer by layer. Every day, he pushed forward a few steps, squeezing the living space of the Eight Banners Army step by step. He arrived in more than ten days.

The Eight Banners soldiers could not bear it and rushed out of the dense forest. A fierce battle broke out in the Zaotu Mountains again. In the dense forest, the Ming army lined up with muddy guns and stepped on the muddy mountain road to clear out the remaining soldiers. From time to time, a group of flag soldiers rushed out howled.

.

The guns were fired at once, and the ragged armor fell without saying a word, and died in the mud on the foothills.

At the foot of the mountain, the Inner River Fleet guided a large number of supply ships, transporting a large number of food, ammunition and military supplies from Fushun direction. The auxiliary soldiers who arrived with the ship began to repair the Yagu Pass and build a dock along the river and transfer station.

Under the dispatch of Macheng, it was like a precision machine running at high speed, so there were naturally some shadows of the army's war in later generations. The Neihe Fleet escorted civilian ships to complete the supply of the army, and the food supply was worry-free.

A large amount of supplies are transported to the air ships, and the injured are transported away in an orderly manner.

Bang!

A large number of auxiliary soldiers carried heavy iron boxes into the coach camp and placed them on the ground. The boxes opened and exposed the exquisite inner armor inside. The generals in the coach camp looked at the exquisite armor with metallic luster and swallowed their saliva.

A total of 1,000 newly released high-quality lock inner armor makes people's face excited. Ma Can also see his eyelids twitch. These armors look much more sophisticated than his inner armor, and the workmanship is more sophisticated.

.

"Golden thread clothes?"

"Where does the iron-threaded clothes come from gold?"

Amid the discussion, Ma Cheng ordered the newly-made lock inner armor to be used to give priority to equip middle and lower-level officers, and be sure to make one piece of it. It is not mysterious to say that. Kaiyuan's defense-made Western wire drawing machine was a great success, and wire drawing was

Technology has matured a few hundred years ago in the West, but it was still a very mysterious thing in the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it is to pull iron into silk to make armors and increase the speed of the armor by only a hundred times.

The successful manufacturing of the wire drawing machine allowed Kaiyuan to finally mass-produce iron armor and also had the capital to compete for the world.

The effect that can be seen in front of us is that the death rate of middle and lower-level officers has been greatly reduced, which is really a good medicine for Kaiyuan Town Army.

On the mountain, Jirgalang, who was pale-faced, peeked at the large number of Ming army ships in the distant river from the shade of the trees. He suddenly felt a sense of shock in his heart. This battle made Jirgalang, who had been in a lifelong life, unable to understand.

In the game, Jirgalang felt as if he had fallen into the net. The more he struggled, the tighter the net would be. He felt regretful. If he had known this, he would have been defeated that night. He would have tried to kill some more Bayala soldiers.

Crack through that mountain city.

A few miles away, the towering mountain city seemed to mock his stupidity.

"Fight to the death!"

Jiergalang was a little dazed, pulled out his knife, stumbled and rushed towards the bright lights of the frontier of the Ming army. After only a few steps, he staggered and fell. More than 4,000 eye sockets were buried beside him. The remaining soldiers of the Eight Banners, covered in mud, crossed him and rushed one after another.
