    Chapter 207

    The beginning of chaos in Siam

    After Lumi returned to Heishui Ming Kingdom after the negotiations failed to achieve any results, he originally guessed various Zhu Ming's possible reactions. However, what he did not expect was that Zhu Ming did not express any opinions on the matter, not even the thirty or so people.  The imprisoned businessman Zhu Ming did not interfere.  []

    This is obviously not in line with Zhu Ming¡¯s style.  Although Zhu Ming has an easy-going temperament, he will attack anyone and anything who dares to challenge the power and harm the interests of his subordinates without mercy at all. This time?

    Chen Zhenghao's activities were only carried out secretly underground, and there were not many people, so the entire Blackwater Ming Kingdom showed a strange calm.

    The training of Zhao Qing¡¯s new black-clad army was in full swing. Many veterans even packed their backpacks, but they just couldn¡¯t wait for Zhu Ming¡¯s order to send troops.

    Domestic businessmen are also puzzled. A group of businessmen who were severely injured by Siam's closure of the mutual market are hoarding supplies to prepare for another fight.

    The prices of domestic grain, pig iron, saltpeter and other materials are rising rapidly. Fortunately, the Blackwater Ming Dynasty has the most powerful official and commercial free trade association, so it has not caused too much impact on the domestic industry.

    But these speculators were once again disappointed. The troops that had originally imagined that they would start moving northward in a steady stream did not start. Although the supplies on the market were quickly eaten up once they were thrown out, the fact is that there is no war breaking out now.  Therefore, prices lack the motivation to rise higher.

    The behind-the-scenes operators and executors of all this, Zhu Ming and Chen Zhenghao, are continuing to promote Lannogadi¡¯s ambitions.

    Less than half a month had passed since Chen Zhenghao made an appointment with Llanojiadi, and he came to the city of River Kwai again as promised.

    He found the connecting point outside the city that Lannogardi had originally told him. There was a large amount of firewood that had to be transported to the city every day, and it was Lannogardi's property.

    So the model firearms and armor brought by Chen Zhenghao were put into the diesel truck and shipped together into the city.

    The Siamese soldiers who were checking at the city gate were very familiar with the escort of the diesel truck. Who was not the property of the impartial Llanojiadi family, so there was no inspection and the gatekeepers let it go with a wave of their hands.

    This time, in order to increase his persuasiveness and promote Llanojiadi's ambition, the firearm Chen Zhenghao brought was a flintlock gun without rifling.

    At that time, several core ministers of the Blackwater Ming Dynasty also had a debate on whether this firearm could be distributed so widely.

    Although the flintlock trigger is well made, it is not ruled out that the Siamese people can imitate it. Moreover, if it spreads more widely, more and more people will be able to imitate it. By then, sharp firearms will no longer be black.  It is unique to Suiming Kingdom.

    Faced with everyone¡¯s concerns, Zhu Ming once again conducted some psychological education this time. Technology can never be concealed, but must be continuously developed to stay ahead of others.

    The most important thing is to provide the best working conditions for outstanding craftsmen and allow them to continuously develop new ones.

    What¡¯s more, even if flintlock weapons are spread, small secrets such as rifling can still be hidden for a while, and the Black Water Ming Kingdom is still technologically ahead.

    In addition, Zhu Ming, a time traveler, still has confidence in his foresight in the fifteenth century. Everything that can be realized under the current technological conditions, Zhu Ming's country will definitely not fall behind others.

    So it was decided that the first batch of two hundred flintlock guns that had been replaced due to barrel modification and upgrade from the Blackwater Ming Army were handed over to the Military Intelligence Department.

    The person in charge of military supplies only had to transport this batch of firearms, a considerable amount of granular gunpowder, and a batch of abandoned export-type chest plate armor to a simple port on the seaside.

    After a group of unfamiliar people loaded all the goods onto a small Karak sailboat, they sailed north. The quartermaster didn't know where this batch of refitted old weapons was shipped.

    And a very small number of these old weapons are now in Lannogardi's house. At this moment, he caressed a flintlock gun fondly.

    This flintlock gun is obviously old, but the body of the gun is shiny after being touched for a long time, and there are no traces of rust on the barrel.

    Under the strict discipline of the Blackwater Ming Army and the superb treatment of soldiers, the soldiers have a strong sense of responsibility and the maintenance of their firearms is in place.

    Lannojiadi is also someone who has played with guns. Siam and Annan are not too far apart, and there are not a few firearms from Annan. Annan's firearms are said to be as famous as those of the Ming Dynasty.

    Back then, Llanojiadi also envied Annan for having such sophisticated firearms. This was good news for the Southeast Asian race who were too weak to use strong bows.

    But LanJiadi now compared Annan's firearms with those of Heishui Mingguo, and Annan's firearms immediately paled in comparison.

    At this moment, Lannogadi¡¯s eyes were flashing and he wasn¡¯t thinking about anything.

    Chen Zhenghao stepped forward and said, how about I demonstrate the use of the musket?  "

    Lannogardi did not comment, but turned his attention to the breastplate again. This was a cut-and-dry plate breastplate sold by the Black Water Ming Kingdom. Lannogardi had seen it on the market before, and he still had it at home.  Collected two pairs.

    But even so, the uniform metal sheets and good joint workmanship of the breastplate still made Lannojiadi marvel in his heart. Chen Zhenghao had just said that a total of two hundred pairs of breastplates were loaded on the smuggled ship this time.  .

    "Just when Chen Zhenghao was wondering why Yulanojiadi didn't say a word, the fat middle-aged man suddenly called someone and arrested the spy and chopped him up."

    The guards guarding the door immediately rushed in after hearing the sound, and were about to swarm up to deal with Chen Zhenghao.

    "What does the leader mean by this?" Chen Zhenghao said with a surprised look on his face.

    "If you weren't a spy from the Blackwater Ming Kingdom, how could you have obtained so many sophisticated weapons? It's really a shame," Lannogadi shouted.

    "No, I am indeed from the Blackwater Ming Kingdom, but I am just a businessman. As long as there is benefit, I will do it," Chen Zhenghao said.

    If Lannojiadi was directly told that he was an official figure in the Blackwater Ming Kingdom, Lannojiadi would not dare to start a fight with Chen Zhenghao even if he had a thousand courages.
