In late autumn dusk, the sunlight was weakly cast from the sky to the west, and the North Beach of Jinshan Peninsula was painted with a light golden color. It looked like gold was everywhere. In the eyes of the colonists of the Northern Ming Dynasty, as long as you conquer the Indians in the Jinshan area, Jinshan's gold would turn each of them into a monetary!

Yes, each of them will make a fortune! Except for Wen Tianxiang and Jiu Deng Monk... Before the expedition set out, Chen Dexing promised them that if gold is found in the New World, they can take it as much as possible until they can't take it. Everyone can always carry more than 100 kilograms of gold from the ship and go home, right? Even considering the impure gold collected from nature, each of them can harvest 13,000 kilograms of copper. Even for a sir, this is an amazing wealth.

The team members who stay in the New World can get double rewards when they return in the future! If they do not intend to return to the Old World, then after serving for 10 years, each of them will receive the title of the Viscount and the corresponding territory to become the feudal lord with the territory!

In order to make the Chinese people have a high enough interest in the New World, a huge wealth effect is still essential.

Of course, if you want to achieve a huge wealth effect, you must first defeat the influx of Indians!

Amidst the strange screams, 】→ Large groups of Indians rushed along the beach like a tide, and crowded together on the beach with their backs to the sea. The front row was mostly fighting soldiers holding leather shields and short spears, and behind them were archers carrying arrows with arrows and arrows, or projectors holding several short spears.

Among these chaotic Indians, there were some guys wearing feather crowns. They were surrounded by everyone, majestic and powerful. They were like big figures in the tribe.

These Indians are very angry. In the past ten days, they have been frequently testing the reality of the "Sea People". They have found out that the number of people and the power of the other party is not many, about a few hundred. The weapons are relatively powerful, with very hard "stone swords", so they have some advantages in close combat. But that's it. As long as you open the distance and fight with bows and arrows and javelins, you can overwhelm the Sea People with numerical advantage.

Of course, the "village" of the sea people is also a trouble, with a circle of wooden fences around it and a trench was dug. However, it was too far behind to block the Chumash warriors who had more stars than the sky!

The lobster with wounds on his body could not pull a bow and throw a spear today, so he followed the Chief of the "Son of the Sea" and the Elder of Shark to act as their adviser. After all, only he has really had close contact with the seaman.

The lobster rubbed his palms excitedly. There were too many good things in the sea man, hard stone knives, unforgettable food, and great water. When he thought of that kind of water, he couldn't help but want to go to the front line.

"Lobster, what is that?" Elder Shark interrupted the lobster's thoughts.

The young Indian raised his neck and tiptoed. He saw three large pieces of wood suddenly stretched out behind the wooden fence less than two hundred steps away. It seemed to be on two pieces of rolling wood lobsters had seen wheels and cars in the camp of the expedition, but they did not recognize them. The Indians forgot to invent wheels, and even the most advanced Mayan civilization (it is said that the Mayans invented wheels. Among the Mayan children's toys, there were cars with wheels, but there was no place for wheels to be used in the toys) and the Inca civilization. The Qiumash, the fishing and hunting people in the North Mingzhou, could not imagine wheels, so the lobsters forgot to report to the chiefs and elders.

Just as the Indians couldn't figure out what the log-shaped thing was on the wheel and continued to move forward with their heads covering their heads, the naval gunners in the expedition had already stuffed a long cylindrical thing into the "log" and fiddled with it a few more times to aim the "log" at the approaching Indians.

Everything was ready. A naval officer in the expedition waved the small red flag in his hand down, and the three gunners poked the red iron mark into a small hole behind the "log".

Then thousands of Indian warriors saw the most terrifying scene in their lives: the three "logs" made a deafening sound at the same time, and then the fire flashed and smoke filled the smoke. The "logs" retreated back. In just a blink of an eye, three shotguns were pushed out of the muzzle by the huge thrust of gunpowder. The thin iron sheet suddenly shattered under the combined effect of the internal and external pressure difference. The 240 iron bullets that had lost restraint roared in the air and woven into a net of death, sweeping towards the Indians in front of them.

The fire was sprayed out from the muzzle and the projectile swept across the Indians' bodies. In less than a second, the Indians in front of the muzzle had no time to react, and their **received the ruthless destruction of iron and fire!

And just as the sound of cannons sounded, a huge spherical object was slowly rising from the camp of the expedition team members...

Now it is necessary to quote a famous saying by Comrade Napoleon Bonaparte, a great revolutionary and military strategist who led the French people to victory in the war hundreds of years later: "Imperialism can conquer a country by setting up a few cannons in the West and putting a hot air balloon, and the history of a nation is gone forever!"

This famous saying explains two issues: First, reactionary colonial rule will eventually lead to a doomsday! Whether this colonial rule comes from Western imperialism or Eastern imperialism. Second, a country can be conquered with a few cannons and a hot air balloon, the sin history of a nation does exist and lasts for a considerable period of time.

And several executioners, bandits and demons Wen Tianxiang, Zhou Xiaoqi, Mengqi, Yang Aguo, Jiudeng Monk, Yongxin and others who opened this outrageous sinful history and were destined to be remembered forever by the people of Europe and Africa, saw the thousands of Indian natives crowded on the beach as if they had collectively been immersed in a fixed manner, and did not move, but just raised their heads to look at the huge balloons in the sky. They all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

What I fear most is that I can’t stop shocking this kind of thing!

Although the expedition team's force was enough to kill the thousands of indigenous people in front of them, they did not achieve their goal. The expedition team only wanted to kill them. The expedition team had established a firm foothold in the Mingzhou Continent, which was more than 10,000 miles away from their mother country.

The Indian lobster was still alive, and his location was far from the muzzle of the three cannons. But he was still shocked by the huge roar and the flying objects in the sky that looked like hills.

When the roar in his mind gradually faded and he "understood" what happened, he was so scared that he trembled all over. These people were not sea people at all, but celestial beings! They were people who came down from heaven, and they... were very likely messengers sent by God! But he brought an army to attack God's messengers!

What an unforgivable sin!

"God!" The lobster legs softened, and they knelt on the ground, raised their hands high, and shouted, "God! Forgive me! God! Forgive me..."

It's God! It's God!

Someone heard the lobster's shouting, and the blank mind suddenly had an answer!

Fire-breathing wood! A huge flying sphere! This cannot be something humans can do. It must be God, at least God's messenger! And it is not an ordinary God, it must be a very powerful God!

When I thought of myself fighting with God, I was the most courageous Indian, and my legs trembled like a sieve. Suddenly, many people knelt down and worshiped the hot air balloon in the air...

...

Yuguan, western Liaoning.

The place opposite the river from the seemingly broken and old castle was also set up at this time, 12 3-inch bronze cannons were also raised and a hot air balloon was raised.

However, the cannon did not fire, but just pointed the muzzle straight towards the Yuguan gate from a distance.

Behind the artillery position, there were brigades of infantry and cavalry, which were densely packed formations outside Yuguan City. The front row were spears and crossbowmen and they were no longer just spears and crossbows. In addition to spears and crossbows, arrow clusters and a large horizontal sword, they also carried a light rattan card, which was bought by the Military and Political Department of the Beiming from Guangdong and Guangxi.

In other words, these crossbowmen have transformed into swords and cards, and have large horizontal swords with three feet of blade length, including steel or steel clamped steel. Everyone is wearing iron armor and has undergone extremely strict training. Not only can they scatter a strict formation, shoot deadly clusters of arrows within thirty steps, but they also have melee combat power no less than Mongolian Qiexue. The tactic of rattan lengthening sword and straight stab is simple and effective, and can maximize the power of the large horizontal sword!

After the crossbow soldiers (also a knife player), they were still armoured spearmen, but the length of the spear increased to 12 meters, and they were also equipped with steel spear heads.

In addition, the Xiaotian Lei, which once played a huge role in the Chen family's army, was taken away from the crossbow soldiers and the spearmen. This is because in previous battles, there have been many incidents of Xiaotian Lei accidentally bombing and injuring them.

Therefore, the current Northern Ming Army adopted the method of organizing grenadiers separately. An infantry brigade added a grenadier battalion, and the number of people increased from the original 1,000 to 1,300. The melee weapons of grenadiers were also big horizontal swords and rattan cards.

At the same time, in order to adapt to the characteristics of the combat of multiple cavalry in the northern Ming army, the number of spearmen in the Northern Ming army also increased significantly, while the number of spearmen and crossbows decreased accordingly. The standard configuration of a Northern Ming army infantry brigade became two battalions of spears, one battalion of spears, one battalion of spears, one battalion of grenadiers and one brigade company.

Moreover, the arrangement of the infantry formations of the Northern Ming Army has also changed, and evolved from a horizontal formation to a square formation. Taking the brigade-level phalanx as an example, it is usually three rows of guns, crossbows and six rows of long spears, and then the brigade company, and grenadiers are deployed on both sides and behind the phalanx to serve cover and support tasks.
