Although Chen Xin is very interested in this Ah Fu, he is still on the front line of the war and has no time to meet this person.

However, Chen Xin thought about it and felt that even if he had time, he would not summon this person, after all, according to the rules of this era, a foreign minister who did not carry a national credential was not qualified to get the opportunity to meet the lord of the country.

"If she goes to China, she will follow the ideas of the Japanese state, go through the civil channels, let them take a look, know that they know the current economic and military strength of the kingdom, at least, let them not make unrealistic demands when they seek peace in the future."

"What's next?"

"The king of Champa asked for tribute."

"Yes, but I'll delay it a little bit and wait until I'm free."

"The merchant fleet bound for the Indian city-states had successfully reached its destination, and because of its victory in a clash with a Portuguese convoy there, the Mughal rulers were valued and given the power to establish a caravan there."

"Why is it that if you defeat a Portuguese, you can gain the appreciation of the natives there?"

"Yes, for nearly a hundred years before, all trade from the Indian city-states to the east was monopolized by the Portuguese. Until the Dutch seized the Spice Islands in Asia, Portugal was the dominant power. ”

"It's really a long time to see, I've never heard of Portugal before, it's so good."

"Yes, Portugal had a very bullish period, but now, it is a tragedy that the country is the king of Portugal in their native Spain.

And in the east, the Netherlands seized the Spice Islands, and on the Indian subcontinent, a dozen years ago there was a country called England or something, which sent a fleet over, and they also stepped on the corpses of the Portuguese fleet, and obtained documents from the Mughal dynasty agreeing to trade.

Now, our merchant marine team has once again joined this big market, and I am afraid that there will be no opportunity for development in Portugal in the future. ”

Chen Xin did not care about Portugal, but was quite interested in what the Ministry of Commerce said about the British and the United Kingdom.

If that's right, this England is the so-called sun that never sets in the future, and it's really a coincidence that it happened to collide with the development of the Indian subcontinent by England.

"Hehe, that's funny."

Just as Chen Xin was about to inquire about some details, an officer from the staff department rushed to the door of the military tent with great joy: "Your Excellency, Your Majesty, good news, good news." ”

Looking at the officers who were stopped at the door by the guards and still dancing, Chen Xin couldn't help but get up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the engineering unit, taking advantage of the gap of the past few days, laid an improvised road between the artillery position and the ammunition warehouse, and just now, this path was officially opened to traffic."

When Chen Xin heard the news, he was instantly ecstatic: "Okay, good, good, give the engineer unit a good credit." ”

After saying that, Chen Xin slapped his palm fiercely and issued a combat order, "All of them have entered a state of combat readiness." ”

In the midst of a rapid trumpet, thousands of men and horses in the entire camp quickly entered the battle position.

Combat mobilization has been done for a long time, so the soldiers in the camp all know what this means, and there is no need to agitate anymore, their emotions have already reached a zero point.

Many officers and veterans were holding their rifles, still trembling slightly with excitement.

Chen Xin, who was waiting, also couldn't stabilize his emotions, his own hands, from time to time wanted to grab something, kept touching various objects in the military tent, and then released again, until a rapid electric bell rang from the magnet phone set up by the headquarters.

"Hey, I'm Chen Xin······ That's good.······ That's good.······ I order, Operation "Go Home" begins. ”

Thousands of meters away, at the center of the Daling River, on a warship, the captain said in a trembling tone, "Your Excellency, the [Homecoming] operation has officially begun." ”

"Whoosh······" Against the backdrop of a long sound, a brightly colored signal flare was fired from the 40mm caliber naval gun and flew high into the sky.

The air was silent for a moment, and then, with the sound of fragmentary explosions in the camp of the Houjin army, the entire natural enemy was filled with the panicked shouts of the Houjin army and the screams of cannonballs piercing the air.

The shelling came from two directions, one was the dozen or so fast crab warships docked in the center of the river, although these warships were all "small boats", but they were also generally equipped with 40mm caliber direct guns, 88mm caliber cannons, and 105mm caliber howitzers, and there were quite a few of them.

Although this battalion was only newly established and was only equipped with only five or six 155mm caliber heavy guns, the lethality of these few guns was comparable to those dozens of small-caliber guns, and it was fully capable of bearing the position of the main force in today's battle.

The first round of shelling was not intensive, and the shooting was not too accurate, there were a lot of shells, and the positions were shifted by a certain distance, but this was just a test firing.

Moreover, it was this round of artillery bombardment, which was not intensive, that gave a huge shock to the Houjin army, who were leisurely waiting for the ground to freeze hard or dry.

The 88mm gun can create a deep pit with a radius of more than one meter and a depth of more than half a meter when hit on the ground.

The shock wave caused by a series of movements, such as the landing of a cannonball and the explosion, can eliminate all living creatures within a radius of 15 meters at once.

Moreover, even if it is within 15 meters, there is a high chance that it will be hit by scattered shrapnel and become a puddle of flesh.

The 105mm shell is even more powerful, after smashing on the ground, it can smash a deep pit with a diameter of about 3 meters and a depth of about 0.7 meters, and cause huge impact damage to creatures within a radius of 30 meters.

Next, what I want to introduce is the 155mm heavy artillery, the largest caliber in the Huaxia Kingdom, the short-diameter heavy cannon in this preliminary experiment, lives up to its reputation as a heavy artillery, and the power is really huge.

However, it is precisely because this is the model in the experiment that it is not very stable, and after it is smashed on the ground, it will randomly cause a huge killing range between 40 and 60 meters, which is partly because of different rifling and barrel parameters, and partly because the quality of the 155 shell is not very stable.

It was only the first round of test firing, and the sea and land combined, a total of dozens of artillery pieces of large and small calibers, were in the Houjin camp, and a bloody pit was drilled, and the blood continued to converge from all sides to the various pits.

I have never seen it, the powerful artillery, and the screams and screams of the people of Houjin who were shocked.

When the forward artillery observation post recalculated the firing parameters, some of the Tartars in the Houjin army who were not far from the explosion range had fallen into a state of madness.

These people ignored the suppression of the harsh military orders, ignored the calls of their comrades-in-arms, and finally shouted sentences of unknown meaning, holding their heads and scurrying around, adding three points of chaos to the already panicked Houjin camp.
