Chapter 329 The Chinese Are Back
King Narisuan watched the landing of the Ming army carefully, and had to admit that the military discipline of this army was very good. Looking at the weapons in their hands and the armor on their bodies, he also found that they were very sophisticated. No wonder such an army is so capable of fighting and fighting The entire army was wiped out by an enemy several times larger than his own. It was hard for him to believe it was someone else, but if it was Daming's army, it would be easier to say.

The Siamese army and Siamese civilians on the shore were also looking at the Ming army, and the mercenaries from Spain, Portugal, Holland and France were also observing the army of a mysterious oriental country they had never met before. The country is the master of this area, and it is so powerful that it is outrageous. When they came here, they did not see the presence of Chinese forces here.

Now they see it.

Sophisticated guns, a large number of European-style artillery, sharp knives and arrows, neatly lined up elite soldiers, and a huge fleet all prove that China is an extremely powerful country. Now, they will stand shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers of this country Fighting, their hearts are also full of excitement.

At the beginning, Marco Polo’s travel notes set off a Chinese craze in Europe. Marco Polo described China as a paradise country full of gold and milk and honey everywhere, which made the Europeans who had just come out of the dark age of the Middle Ages go crazy and desperately Looking for the way to China, wanting to go to China to make a fortune, therefore, the era of great voyages has come, and the era of great geographical discovery has also come.

Not to mention the profound incentives, Marco Polo and his "Marco Polo's Travels" are indeed an important factor. This person and this book have ushered in a new era. The fundamental reason why these Europeans come here today is not the land under their feet. The land, but the mysterious, huge and rich country-China.

Silk, porcelain, tea, the three representative products of this country, each of which can set off a frenzy anywhere in Europe. European monarchs are proud of passing on Chinese silk, proud of drinking Chinese tea, and It is an honor to collect and appreciate Chinese porcelain. These exclusive Chinese products can make any European monarch crazy, and of course any European.

They came here from a long distance, and their goal is the country that flows with milk and honey. However, that country is not friendly to them and does not trust them. They can use force to break into other places, but for China, their Several attempts ended in failure, and only the Portuguese gained a foothold here, but the price they paid was to pay taxes and accept control, thus obtaining the land of Macau as a foothold.

But they still cannot enter the interior of the country that flows with milk and honey. They use ships and troops to guard the gate of the country tightly, and any country that wants to do anything wrong will never enter China.

They used to worry about it, but now they don't have to worry about it, because the Chinese themselves have come.

Bright knives and guns, sophisticated guns and artillery, sophisticated armor, elite soldiers, and a huge fleet, they are coming.

"This country is definitely not just milk and honey. This country has a military power that no European country can underestimate. If you want to use the means of conquering the Inca Empire to deal with China, the result will be unimaginable. The Chinese will definitely They have the strength and ability to launch a devastating blow to any of our strongholds in this sea area. As far as I have witnessed, their squadron has more than 1000 warships and an army of 5 people. Know how many warships their navy has and how many thousands of soldiers their army has.

With such a large number of fleets and troops, even our country cannot confront it head-on, let alone in the east far away from the mainland. We cannot treat the Chinese in the same way as other people. The Chinese are civilized and arrogant. Also powerful, they were the masters of this area, their civilization was as prosperous as their military power, they had everything we had, and we couldn't have what they had, and now, they are back.

If we go to war with China, then their armada will destroy our strongholds in the Philippines in a very short period of time, they will cover any of our strongholds with overwhelming artillery fire, we will have nowhere to hide, and eventually , will be completely wiped out in the Philippines, and when we are wiped out, letters asking for help can't even reach the Cape of Good Hope, I hope we can establish peaceful and friendly relations with them instead of hostile ones. "

A military agent stationed in Siam by the Spanish colonial authorities in the Philippines wrote this in a secret letter submitted to the Philippine Governor's Office.

The shock that the appearance of the Chinese army brought to the Europeans is beyond doubt. It took more than half a day for the landing of more than 3 troops. Headed to their garrison with their coach, the sound of uniform footsteps echoed in their eardrums, and the ground even shook. Every Chinese soldier raised his head high, showing their incomparable self-confidence and arrogance. self-esteem.

Before, China gave Europe the impression of being civilized and prosperous. After this day, China gave Europe the impression of being powerful and terrifying.

They realized that it is impossible to get anything from the Chinese by relying on them alone. Even if the Spanish Armada comes with all the Spanish navy and fights to the death with China, it is estimated that it will not be able to completely defeat China. An army force of tens of thousands of people can also compete with the same number of European troops.

Of course, the landing ceremony carefully arranged by Xiao Ruxun is not only to show off the prestige in front of the Siamese, but also to deter the Europeans here. If it is said that the Europeans here have no contact with their government, Xiao Ruxun does not believe it. Tell their government what you have seen, and the news of Da Ming's display of powerful force will also reach their government with their letters, so that those countries in Europe will weigh their own weight and think about their own strength. A few catties and a few taels.

Today, when news transmission is extremely inconvenient, such news is enough to scare Europeans for decades. If they can win the battle in front of them and completely wipe out the Dongwu Kingdom, then such an impression can affect Europeans for hundreds of years.

Europeans have never known how good the Chinese are at fighting. This made Xiao Ruxun very regretful. Therefore, he not only wanted to beat the Burmese severely, but also pushed the Europeans hired by the Burmese to the ground and beat them fat. Let them know how good the Chinese are at fighting.

If such an image is passed on to Europe, Europe's policy towards China will undergo drastic changes, and their Asian colonial strategy will also change, which will also have unexpected benefits for their future strategies for managing Nanyang.

Xiao Ruxun wants to let the Chinese civilization gain a firm foothold in Nanyang.
