Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The position of prince was still sealed by Zhu Youxiao. Although Zhu Youxiao was quite confident in this battle, he could understand how risky the sea was.  Zhu Cixu is his son, and no one can break this kind of kinship.  Zhu Youxiao considered that if something happened to him, the absolute disadvantages of listening to politics behind the curtain in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that this 'Queen Mother' was from the Wei Zhongxian family, the harm would be unimaginable.  So a special edict was left to Sun Chengzong!  This shortcoming of involvement in politics must be eliminated. Several ministers will supervise the country, and Concubine Rong is not allowed to interfere in politics.  Emperor Wanli was brought to power by the Queen Mother when he was a child. Of course, this tragic drama could not be repeated.  Of course the capital knew that the emperor was once again going to war regardless of his hard work.  We must fight for the Ming Dynasty to come back and let those ignorant barbarians know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is.  This time we went to fight a naval battle, a war that no one was familiar with, but the people had absolute confidence in their emperor.  The reason for this battle is known to everyone in the capital.  For no other reason than that the Catholic Church forced the Ming Dynasty to preach, but the Holy Emperor did not allow it. Moreover, the Catholic Church came with warships and artillery to force the Ming Dynasty to surrender.  The Ming Dynasty is proud, and no country can stand the tyranny of the Catholic Church, let alone the Ming Dynasty people who always feel that the world is centered on themselves.  How could it be possible for barbarians to stand on one's head and block the door of one's home?  What's more, there is the red-haired bandit who has seized the Ming Dynasty's territory - Taiwan.  Although the people do not know where Taiwan is, this does not stop them from loving their country and their territory.  Thousands of people turned out to see the emperor off on his expedition!  I wish the emperor a speedy triumphant return!  With the arrival of the Catholic Party, the war machine of Ming Dynasty has already begun to operate.  Ten cement ships in Gaizhou.  Return first.  The members of the boarding team and the 7,000 artillerymen brought by Zhuang Haiming, including 3,000 captive soldiers, also returned together. There was no need to transport the artillery this time, so the speed was not slow.  They probably have little chance of participating in the Bohai Sea Battle this time, and they are definitely running out of time.  But in the next Taiwan landing battle and live-fire training at sea, their two units will be the main force.  Yuan Keli took Yuan Shu and stood on the warship heading north, after receiving the emperor's news this time.  Leyden's naval forces immediately mobilized.  We have been training for more than half a year, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, isn't it just to fight and win the war?  Who doesn¡¯t know the glory of pro-army? The emperor trusts the Yuan family unconditionally.  Not just respecting Lao Yuan.  He also admired little Yuan Yuanshu quite a lot.  Especially the Dong Ying incident.  The emperor's marriage grant and such concessions gave the Yuan family plenty of face.  What an honor this must be!  The Yuan family is the heirloom of the eighth generation of officials, and by Yuan Keli it was already at its peak.  Now Yuan Shu had the emperor's temper right, and the emperor was not too old as Yuan Shu, so there was plenty of time for the monarch and his ministers to get along well.  Yuanjiashan is blessed!  And Shen Yourong's eight sons were also recruited, and they were the generals. This was the emperor's plan for the future of meritorious ministers, which reflected the emperor's kindness.  Including many naval officers, they have never even met the emperor. Everyone knows about the emperor's achievements, including conquering the Mongols, rejecting the Tatars, and conquering Liaodong. What extraordinary military exploits it is. In such a situation,  In the hands of the general, he traveled thousands of miles and was wrapped in horse leather, leaving his name as his wife and shadow for eternity. This is what a great husband did!  Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, now is the time for them to fight on the battlefield and make achievements, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to it.  Forty cement ships set off from Leiden, together with ten ships returning from Liaodong, for a total of fifty.  There was no way to install the wind turbine, and the time was a little too tight. Although the workshop established by Song Yingxing was ranked first, it still couldn't be completed in such a short time.  Forty cement ships are the entire output of this half year. Cement production is too insufficient, but with these forty ships, Yuan Keli's confidence is extraordinary!  And the monthly output of Hua Pao has reached twenty.  But now there are only two or three statues on each ship.  This is why all cannons are supplied to the navy.  Although the cement ships were constantly being loaded, the gunners were not.  Because the earliest gunners had gone to Liaodong, and the Leyden Navy no longer had them.  These current gunners can only fire cannons.  However, there are quite a lot of sniper crossbows on the ship. There are nearly a hundred on each ship.  This is the most important lethality of the Ming Navy.  Moreover, the placement of the sniper crossbow on the three decks is also particular, to maximize the attack angle of the sniper crossbow, not only for side attacks, but more importantly, it can provide powerful firepower forward and backward.  This point has design experience in sniper vehicles, so Song Yingxing made full use of the space or increased the height to stagger the line of sight and provide a position for the sniper crossbow.  Of course, there are advantages, but the disadvantage is that the deck is even more messy.  This needs to change!    Soon they gathered in Tianjin and faced off with hundreds of foreign ships.  Looking at the small boats of the Western barbarians, all the pro-combatants were filled with pride, not for anything else but because the other party's boats were small and a bit pitiful.  Zhu Youxiao's guard of honor and the Jinni Pavilion envoy arrived in Tianjin almost indiscriminately, and then boarded their respective fleets.  After Jin Nige and others returned to Tianjin and boarded the ship, the atmosphere of the war began to thicken.  The war is about to break out.  "The Ming Dynasty is wrong. In the past, they relied on shore-based operations. This is a naval battle. How can they be so bold? What kind of ship is that?" Zorn was quite puzzled. He had a different understanding of China than the missionaries.  The previous contacts were all with those maritime merchants on the southeast coast, but this time the confrontation with the Ming Dynasty was at sea.  The navy of the Ming Dynasty was ten miles away in front of him. Looking at the ship, he couldn't understand it at all. The gray look made it uncomfortable.  And the boat is ridiculously big.  Nowadays, the largest battleship among the Galen ships built in the Netherlands has a displacement of about 900 tons!  Most of the others are five to six hundred tons.  (In 1637, the Netherlands had the ability to build the three-decker battleship "Sea Sovereign" with a displacement of up to 1,500 tons and equipped with 100 cannons.) As for the "big-bellied ships" in the formation, they were just here to fill the role.  .  The existence of pot-bellied boats is the result of the cleverness of the Dutch. They are a very smart nation, and their brains are not much worse than those of the Jews.  Who would have thought that their rise would be based on the advantage of exporting herring.  The Dutch have a very good affection for herring. They eat herring in a very special and unique way. They do not fry or bake it, but eat it raw with onions.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
