The travelers got a valuable breathing opportunity. During this period, their biggest gain was to use this time and space resources to establish a relatively complete military industry. With sufficient raw materials, the new rifle that was far superior to the 17th century muskets can be produced on a large scale through the established military factories. This is the famous Minnie rifle. As a very practical rifle, it has long been familiar with the travelers. As a well-prepared travelers, this weapon has long been regarded by them. In the era when the breech gun was not mature, it was a symbol of invincibility. Moreover, in many travel novels, this weapon has a high exposure rate, no other reason. Compared with the previous smoothbore gun, it has too great advantages. Whether it is range, accuracy, or firing speed, it has exceeded more than one level, becoming a cross-age weapon of great significance.

But its disadvantage is also very large. It is still a rifled rifled gun with a front load, that is, it must form a linear array, shoot straight, and there is no way to load the bullet when it is lying down. This is also the reason why it is called queuing and shooting. When a more mature breech gun appears, it is quickly eliminated. It is just a flash in history, making historians complain that it appeared too late, and if it appears earlier, it will change human history. Now, time travelers copy it in advance, and use it to change human history.

The Minni rifle has many advantages, long range and effective range up to 200 meters, which has a great effect on cavalry, which is far from comparable to muskets with an effective range of 50 meters. The reason why the Qing Dynasty could defeat the Ming army's firearms troops was, on the one hand, the morale of the Ming army was an important reason. On the other hand, the current firearms have too short effective range and cannot get enough shooting time. They often fired 1 to 2 bullets and were rushed to the front of the formation by the cavalry.

After the emergence of Minni rifles, when there were many cavalry, they could easily massacre cavalry, which laid the foundation for future mainland hegemony.

Of course, the technical level required behind this weapon is also very high, at least it must have the industrial level of the 19th century, which is far from what the handicraft workshops of this era can produce. The travelers can make it, relying on complete modern industrial equipment and sufficient technical information. At the same time, they had a lot of discussion before traveling, but now it is just reproduced with sufficient time. Due to this, even if this weapon falls into the hands of the enemy, with the technological level of this era, the enemy cannot produce and install it on a large scale.

However, they only solved the problem of large-scale production. However, the sources of arms raw materials, such as iron ore, coal, and other military materials, still need to rely on imports. The Penghu Islands have no minerals, and Taiwan is not a place with abundant minerals.

This is their fatality, and the travelers naturally saw this. After arming about 2,000 indigenous troops with Minni rifles, they began to occupy relevant resource points.

In this era, the naked force determines everything, international public opinion, etc., it is just a cloud of clouds. The powerful can occupy more land and gain better living space. The weak will either escape or be extinct.

It is easy to find resources. Time travelers have the most complete historical knowledge to check. They have already known which places have the necessary resources. They only need to capture the corresponding places and explore them. With the control of their marginal land in this era, they can easily deal with it.

There are iron ore in Hainan and coal mines in Vietnam. The forces around these two mineral sites have no resistance in front of the traveling crowd equipped with advanced weapons. The traveling crowd easily occupy these two resource points and immediately starts building cities and building up bases, transporting labor and slaves for development, and at the same time, closely monitor the movements of the Hainan government and the Vietnamese dynasty.

Although Li Lin showed a lot of mystery and had a deep understanding of the general trend of the world, the time travelers still only valued his medical skills and magical side. No one cared about asking him to give advice on strategies. After all, in their opinion, with the technological advantages they now have, as long as they develop to a certain level and crush them. As for strategies, they are just magical techniques.

Li Lin was naturally happy and relaxed about this. After all, these people had nothing to do with him, and he was just using them. He could only take action unless they were beaten down by the will of the world.

During this period of time, the world will remain calm. Li Lin knew that it was definitely not letting these time travelers ignore it, but accumulating energy and looking for a fatal opportunity for a blow. However, the quietness during this period also revealed that its power level is not high. Although it is a fantasy dimensional space, the power it has in this world is far worse than the will bodies in "Diablo". To a certain extent, even Li Lin is not as good as an outsider. At least as long as Li Lin does not care about too much, he can break through the restrictions of the world's rules and use supernatural powers. Although this is not his own ability, it is just the system interfering in it.

However, it is a bit strange that a world will body is so weak, and Li Lin did not draw a final conclusion on this.

………………………………………

After a few months, less than half a year after the New Year of 1623, the slow-moving Ming Dynasty giants finally began to mobilize and prepare to take the appropriate measures against this group of uninvited guests who suddenly arrived.

The time travelers quickly got the news. With the large number of peripheral forces they gathered, they obtained complete information about the Ming Dynasty's military operation. The cause of the incident was that the governor of Guangzhou and the governor of Fujian, and successively reported that a group of overseas pirates first occupied Penghu, then invaded Macau, invaded Qiongzhou, and dominated the East China Sea. In order to prevent the remnants of tiger raising, the court was asked to send troops to expel it.

The scale of the Ming army's preparation for mobilization this time is much larger than the time when expelling the Dutch in history. According to intelligence, they are preparing to mobilize 500 warships of varying sizes, with a force of more than 20,000. Obviously, once this force sieges besiege Penghu, it is not difficult for the time travelers to repel them, but it will greatly delay the speed of industrial construction.

In view of this, the time travelers did not make passive defenses this time. They chose to take the initiative, bribe, and assassinate all kinds of methods to behead the generals who rushed to assemble from the land. They had long-range sniper rifles. It was simpler to deal with these generals who had no concept of sniper. Often, once the main general died, the core combat power of his army, the servants and personal soldiers, could not continue to gather to fight, and to deal with the funeral of their master, the others were often slow to move forward.

As for the assembly of Ming warships, it is easier to destroy. In the past two years, the entire Fujian sea surface has long fallen under the control of the crossing crowd. They have more than 50 large ships directly under them, basically relying on buying and grabbing, and a small number are brought by pirates who join. They have built several shipyards themselves to repair and build ships. However, although the ships they built are better, they are still small boats with small tonnage due to time constraints. Relatively speaking, these large ships are equipped with their improved artillery and are equipped with new muskets, which have great advantages in artillery battles and mounts. As for various small boats under hundreds of tons, countless of them are managed by those pirates who join.

The travelers also learned from the previous lessons and no longer restricted these pirates, but used their interests and reputation to win over and shock them. If this continues, the idle pirate forces will be quickly gathered together, which is faster than Zheng Zhilong's rise. And the big pirates such as Li Dan will not let go, and used various means to buy their subordinates, or cut down the power of these big pirates through continuous small-scale naval battles. In short, during this period, the travelers have cleaned up their backyard to the greatest extent, so that no maritime forces can threaten them.

On the southeastern sea, the pirate ships are all their eyes and ears, and they are in control of every important route. Through the modern concept of maritime ambush, many Ming warships were ambushed and robbed on the way to assemble, and suffered heavy losses. In the end, they were able to reach Xiamen Island, which was only one or two, and most of them collapsed in the middle.

So the five hundred large and small ships that were originally planned to mobilize finally arrived at the final expedition site. These ships were not to mention fighting, and they could not even transport people, horses, food and grass. It was a joke to go to sea to defeat the short hairs of the Dutch and the Portuguese. So the Ming Dynasty's expedition ended in vain. Not only did it waste a lot of manpower, but it sent a large number of ships and prisoners to the travelers, and once again acted as the transport captain.

The general in charge of this battle was naturally criticized by the court's incompetent military management, weak in dispatch, and was useless in military power. He did not see a short-haired face and wasted his own soldiers and generals. This general was unable to argue and was finally imprisoned.

Since then, few officials at all levels in Southeast provinces have dared to mention expel short hair again, and even if someone mentions it, they are suppressed.

……………………

The world trend is operating according to its own rules, and Li Lin has no action. So far, the major forces in this time and space have basically appeared. As for countries like the Later Jin and Japan, one has no idea what the navy is, and the other has been closed to the country, and is not an opponent of the Time Traveler. From this point of view, the victory of the Time Traveler is just around the corner.

After easily repelling the Ming Dynasty's attack, the morale of the time travelers rose sharply and completely recovered from the previous endangered situation. Since then, most people believe that the entire strategic initiative is in their hands. Unless the time travelers themselves are collectively in trouble, they will not be given any chance to indigenous forces. It is only a matter of time before conquering the world and even the world.

However, Li Lin obviously would not think so. No matter how poor the will of this world is, he is still a god. The power of the gods may be of great size, but the will is consistent and they are extremely tenacious. Once they make a decision, they will execute it to the end without force majeure participation.

But in this case, what other means can the other party use to deal with time travelers who are rapidly proliferating like cancer cells and are extremely vital. Li Lin believes that the answer to this question will surface soon.
