Chapter 904:Teixeira's Letter

Outside of Shengjing, the artillery instructor from Portugal, Gonzalez-Texeira, was writing to his old commander in the army, and the artillery instructor was called "Silao of the Gongsha" in the history books of another world, one of the few Western instructors who could leave a name in the history books, he had participated in the Battle of Pi Island after the defeat of the Golden Army, and later won the heroic death in the change of the state of the state, but he seemed to live longer in the world.

“Perhaps it has been more than three years since I came to this vast Eastern Empire, my Excellency, and when I left my dear motherland to come to Macau four years ago, I did not expect to be able to return to the army and command such a strong army, but it was God’s will that I met several distinguished Jesuits.”

Recalling the past, Gonzalez-Texeira could not help but shake his head, when the noble emperors who ruled the huge empire came to Macao to find a skilled retired officer, he had just been cheated out of his family, was working as a choir in the church to make a living, and he was worried when he learned the news, although Macao had built the Portuguese in the Far East ten years ago called the "best cast gun factory in the world" Bucarus.

Due to economic distress, after hesitation, he finally accepted the invitation of Jesus 6, who took ten cannons, rifles donated by the Portuguese of Macao, and more than 50 gunners, craftsmen and servants to escort the cannon north, but this figure is much more than the original history.

"On the observation that I have been in Macau for a few months, I think that this ancient empire has lagged far behind the development of new weapons such as artillery and rifles, and I have come to the capital of this great empire with this mentality, and I cannot describe the greatness of this city in words, I can only say that it is not inferior to Rome, even far more prosperous than Rome, where I met the mighty and noble emperor."

"The emperor was very young, at the age of eighteen, and had ascended the throne for more than two years, but he had established a remarkable feat; he had led the army of 50,000 royal forest troops northward to fight the battle of 100,000 barbarians, and easily won the final victory, killing more than 30,000 barbarian soldiers; and it is said that the noble emperor's majesty also shot and killed a barbarian duke with his own bow and arrow."Gonzales Teixeira could not explain to his superior what Big Beller was, so he could only replace it with a duke that he could understand.

"This Emperor reminds me of the invincible Alexander the Great."Teixeira added another word to the letter, and then to the quill pen full of ink to continue, "the meeting with His Majesty the Emperor once again brought me great shock, his knowledge of Europe obviously exceeded my expectations, and I can't help but worry that this empire, which is even larger than the European countries combined, had built a class fleet two hundred years ago, and sailed to the coast of Africa, and it is not good to see such an empire of great war potential interested in Europe."

"Of course, I still don't care much at this time, after all, it has been too long since the last voyage of that class fleet has been completed, and then the empire seems to have lost interest in the voyage, just as the dragon occasionally opened its eyes to the outside world, and then continued to lie on the gold coin into a long sleep; and when the dragon fell asleep, the European fleet began to extend its tentacles to all corners of the world, we built a new warship, more advanced cannon, conquered an ancient empire, perhaps when the dragon really woke up."

There was a bitter smile in the corner of Teixeira's mouth, and now I remembered how childish he was, "After receiving a generous reward, I was assigned to the emperor's majesty's royal forest army as a gunner."Well, Teixeira took the Beijing Battalion and the Imperial Forest Army as a thing, "and was responsible for testing the new cannons developed by the armaments run by two natives, and I was stunned when I saw the newly minted cannons."

"Although I have been out of the army for some time, I can still swear by my family's honour that the cannons of these cannons have had the most advanced cannons in Europe, and that according to these two distinguished men, they have been studied by the guidance given to them by His Majesty the Right Honourable Emperor."Teixeira could not help but stop, as if pondering the right words.

"In this ancient empire, the people believed that His Majesty the Emperor and the extraordinary soldiers and warriors were all the stars and stars in the sky, forgive me for saying these blasphemous words, but if I did not explain the emperor's divineness, he had excellent military command talent, and the eyes of the ages in the study of artillery, rifles and warships, but these are still not the most shocking to me."

"I was fortunate enough to take part in the second battle under the command of His Majesty the Emperor, who came to the cold north as Russia, to meet the barbarians of the north in the midst of the snow, and the emperor's majesty made a delicate plan of battle, and he used himself to tempt the barbarians to attack him, and he only took thousands of loyal guards against the elite of the barbarians, and several other brave and good generals led the superior forces to attack the barbarians."

"The next show of war was completely out of my imagination, and I saw with my own eyes that His Majesty the Emperor had killed a three-digit barbarian warrior with a spear and a bow and arrow, and he was as dazzling and unstoppable as Apollo in the legend..."

Unconsciously, several pages had been written, and it seemed that it was time to rest, and Teixeira began to end the letter, “I have a strong presentiment that this ancient empire will rise in an unimaginable way, and will soon be a great threat to Europe, and that it will be, of course, the first troublesome being the Spanish countries, which occupy the vast colonies in Asia... I hope that this letter will provide you with a small help.”

At the end of the letter-paper was left, Teixeira blew dry ink and stuffed it into an envelope, and went to bed, and to-morrow there was a fierce battle waiting for him.
