    The naval battle lasted for three days. Tianjin officials, businessmen, and people waited in Tianjin port for three days. No one knew the outcome of the naval battle, whether it was victory or defeat, life or death, and there was no news about it.  .  There was no news except that a ship came back and ordered all the seconded ships of Lord Yuan to pick up the Marines and artillery teams coming back from Liaodong and send them to the port of Leiden Jinshan. And that ship was obviously also under strict control.  The order was to generalize and refuse to answer anyone's questions.  It was the same until the Jinyiwei who returned from Liaodong, headed by Zhuang Haiming, arrived at the Tianjin port and boarded the ship.  Zhuang Haiming was quite depressed. He couldn't even remember the number of times he had asked. This matter was so disturbing. You must know that the sea is vast and the outcome would be victory or defeat. This matter was related to the life and death of the emperor and the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. He was also considered a senior member of the pro-army.  General, but there was no chance to hear the news.  In the end, the Leiden navy troops came with military secrets and suppressed a group of Jinyiwei officials headed by Zhuang Haiming.  Laiyang Jinshan Port is a civilian port, more than ten miles away from the water village of Laiden Navy.  This section has to be walked.  The Leiden navy paid the ship enough money, which was necessary. There was no way to requisition civilian ships, but Zhu Youxiao didn't want this requisition to turn into a waste of money and people, and people everywhere were full of complaints. For this reason  I really can't afford to lose this little money to this person.  Zhuang Haiming and his party arrived at Shuizhai, which has been designated as a military restricted area, and access is quite strict!  Zhuang Haiming and others arrived at the military camp with question marks along the way. Zhu Youxiao welcomed his own troops at this time.  It gives enough face.  Zhu Youxiao worked hard to treat his own soldiers.  Especially when it comes to doing things that are beneficial and cost-effective, you should be considerate.  It's a small trick to win people's hearts, but it can work wonders every time.  Zhuang Haiming and the three of them had followed him when they were snatching the mines from Xishan. They had experienced the palace coup, three battles in Liaodong and three victories. They worked so hard during the expedition to Liaodong, which was a great achievement for the Ming Dynasty.  Now Zhuang Haiming was brought up to capture the artillery regiment, four thousand Jinyiwei artillerymen.  It will be the most intimidating existence in Ming Dynasty.  The training was also very hard and hard, and in half a year, several good gunners were produced!  And the other two still captured 6,000 marines.  Now that the equipment change has been completed, it has changed from a vertical shield divine crossbow to a semi-vertical shield and semi-divine crossbow, and is fully equipped with a flintlock musket.  The reason why demigod crossbows still exist is because the power of divine crossbows is small.  But the firing speed is much faster than that of a flintlock gun.  It can be regarded as a supplement.  Moreover, Western flintlock guns cannot penetrate even a vertical shield at a distance.  This played a decisive role in the landing battles in Taiwan, Macau and Malacca.  Therefore, Sun Chengzong did not want to lose the benefit of complementary advantages, so he would just modify it like this for now.  Zhuang Haiming and others finally saw the emperor and knelt down one by one.  I almost cried, as if my heart had finally let go.  Jin Yiwei is only one step away from the pure army for the natural intimacy with the emperor.  Yuan Keli is also their "old leader". He created the myth of Jinyiwei starting from Zuotun, and now he looks at the three tiger generals who have grown up.  I was also quite happy inside.  Afterwards, at the reception banquet, Zhuang Haiming learned about the naval battle.  The reason for keeping it secret was to launch a surprise attack on Taiwan, Macau and Malacca, and to let the Catholics and others know the news of the war later, giving Ming more time.  Zhuang Haiming and others are not stupid, but they never imagined that the 2,000-mile-long Malacca Strait was the place where the emperor's decisive battle was to intercept Western ships.  When asking about the training results of the artillery regiment during the banquet, Zhuang Haiming proudly reported that the artillery regiment had spent half a year of hard training and destroyed many cannons, and the results were brilliant.  The royal guards of the artillery regiment know that the emperor attaches great importance to the artillery regiment, so they practice with great concentration and hard work.  Isn't it for nothing else but to fall into the emperor's eyes and reach heaven in one step?  It is sometimes quite easy for people in the pro-army to get ahead because they have too much time to come into contact with the emperor, and the best way to attract the emperor's attention is to have excellent skills!  After listening to Zhuang Haiming's report, Zhu Youxiao and Yuan Keli were very happy. In this naval battle, the problem of cannon hit rate is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.  In future naval battles, the artillery has a long way to go. It is of course gratifying to hear that the artillery regiment has performed well.  Then the on-site inspection began. Sure enough, on land, the Jinyiwei Artillery Regiment's performance was quite satisfactory. Both in terms of rate of fire and hit rate, it could be regarded as above average.  When Zhuang Haiming saw that the emperor was happy, he pulled Liu Ruoqing and Zhang Jiaju to kneel down in front of the emperor. Zhu Youxiao was stunned, what is he doing?  "Your Majesty, at that time the Daqing River battlefield, both the Jing Army and the Jinyi Guards, suffered the heaviest casualties since the formation of the army. And it was the artillerymen of the Han Army who caused this result. Of course, the Emperor left three thousand artillerymen behind.  It is a good hand in a good hand. The hatred between Jingjun and Jinyiwei cannot be expressed in words.My brother and Paoze did not die at the hands of Jiannu, but they died at the hands of these traitors who were worse than pigs and dogs, leaving their lives in Liaodong.  I wish I could eat his flesh, drink his blood, and sleep on his skin.  But of course the emperor spared their lives, and the ministers took four thousand royal guards to practice their artillery skills every day. The brothers knew that the emperor wanted to form an artillery regiment as soon as possible, so they took this trip.  Now the artillery regiment is practicing day and night in order to get rid of these scum as soon as possible.  Now, on behalf of the dead brothers, I request the emperor to punish these traitors!  " These words have been stuck in my heart for too long. They are indeed the thoughts of the Jin Yiwei. Being with these traitors every day makes my heart feel as uncomfortable as eating flies. Of course, there are many people from the Jing Army who are looking for trouble, but who  Everyone knows that the reason why these three thousand Han troops were not punished is that they have been holding back. Now they finally spoke out: "Everyone, please rise, the Jinyi Guards are my own soldiers, and they have made great achievements in the Ming Dynasty.  Qing Shi, I have made you rank with the traitors out of helplessness. I am very relieved that you can know my painstaking efforts.  Three thousand Han troops and Daqinghe massacred our own soldiers with artillery. How can I tolerate such blood feud?  Recalling his teachings in the past six months, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven, so they are ordered to castrate each other and punished with hard labor for twenty years, in order to comfort the spirits of the soldiers in heaven and atone for their heavy sins!  "Three thousand artillerymen. From the beginning to the end, Zhu Youxiao never thought of letting them go. How many Jingjun he was familiar with led them from the palace to Mongolia. They killed Lin Dan and fled with his head in his arms.  Their meritorious deeds were killed in the bombardment of Liaodong. How pitiful and pitiful! How many of the Jing army had saved a lot of money, but they were shot to death without even spending it.  What¡¯s more, it was not the vicious Jiannu who killed them, but the traitors who were worse than pigs and dogs. How sad! ¡°I thank the Emperor for his kindness!  "Zhuang Haiming and the other three immediately kowtowed and thanked them. "For example, the emperor had fewer prisoners to kill, so Zhuang Haiming did not expect to let the emperor kill them. Instead, they were sentenced to labor reform, which was more in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty. Collective torture of each other, this punishment caused a lot of confusion from the beginning.  A lot of people came to watch. The scale of the Leiden Water Fortress was not small, there were 30,000 Leiden troops, but now there were 10,000 Jinyi guards, more than 3,000 Western prisoners, plus the emperor's Han generals, etc. to deal with it.  Of course, the news of the three thousand Han troops was immediately surrounded by people on the inside and the outside. The Han gunners finally made the decision. Whether it was a fluke or a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, I had known that there would be such a day.  Zongzong's psychology was completely extinguished by the imperial edict. Mutual execution, not self-imposed execution, was a mercy to the Han gunners. It was even more cruel when he thought about being forced to commit suicide on the battlefield.  ! Castration is still relatively new to Westerners. Tang Wangruo, who is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, explained to several nearby foreigners what castration was. Originally, this punishment was to be carried out in the silkworm house, which could ensure a certain survival rate.  But the current emperor, starting from the Palace Incident, has been keen on carrying out mass executions in squares and battlefields, so the mortality rate is a bit higher. Fortunately, with the magic drug penicillin, which can reduce inflammation in time, this 'massacre'  There are relatively few of them. It¡¯s not that the time has not come yet. The Han soldiers no longer have the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty since they became slaves, so now they still have those pig tail braids, and they can¡¯t even cut them off!  The soldiers next to each other began to chop off the lumps of comrades, and they couldn't feel any better. The military camp was like a pig slaughterhouse, with screams one after another, and the Jinyi guards began to make sacrifices there one by one.  Undead! "These prisoners taught the Ming army how to fire cannons, and now they are punished. Is this the Ming Dynasty idiom of killing the donkey?  " Looking at this scene like Shura hell, the foreign captives couldn't feel better. They were all prisoners. The tortured prisoners had been captured for half a year. After their use value was gone, they still had to be tortured like this. This made them understand  The feeling is quite strong, and I feel the same way. "Yes, the master taught his disciples to starve to death. When the Ming army learned all the knowledge, our fate should be the same."  " "No, you don't understand Mingren. These people are different from us.  The Ming Emperor was very resentful towards the Mongols and the Jiannu. They fought for thousands of years and hundreds of years. It is inconvenient for us to comment on who is right and who is wrong. However, it is true that most of the Ming Dynasty's dynasties were passively beaten. If the hatred accumulated over a long period of time  , the hatred has reached the point of subjugation of the country and the annihilation of the species. The idiom of the Ming Dynasty is called irreconcilable, which means that we can no longer live under the same sky. There is you without me, there is me without you.  "Tang Ruowang is definitely a China expert. He began to analyze the Westerners around him, which was quite in line with the national conditions and people's psychology of the Ming Dynasty.
