Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 359 Battleship Emperor

Many of Zheng Chenggong's naval soldiers were former elite members of the Zheng family's army. They had many years of experience in sea warfare, and they had defeated Hongmao Fan as pirates.

The 5 people recruited from the coastal areas also participated in the battle to liberate Korea, and later cooperated with the three-way eastward expedition army to attack the coastal cities from the waterway.

It can be said that all naval fighters have personally participated in battles, and no one is a coward.

Now Daming attaches great importance to the soldiers, and the treatment and salary of the soldiers have been greatly improved. The soldiers are all screaming, wanting to go to the battlefield to show their value, and of course to make money.

Zheng Chenggong led Ming Dynasty's only iron-clad warship and had been training for more than a month. They were already familiar with iron-clad warships and could operate them on board.

After Zhu Youjian delivered the five warships, Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and the opposite warship put down several small boats, and quickly divided the navy on that warship into five teams.

After about a stick of incense, the five warships made a loud flute sound and began to move slowly.

As puffs of black smoke rose from the huge chimney, the battleship began to speed up, riding the wind and waves towards the sea.

The thin ice on the sea was squeezed and shattered by the iron-clad warships, and scattered to both sides, making loud noises. The scene was really spectacular.

The sun was exposed in the sky, the heavy snow stopped flying temporarily, and the visibility on the sea gradually became clear. Zhu Youjian was also very excited at this time, and turned back to Zheng Chenggong and said:

"Let them fire a couple of cannons to test the firepower."

"According to the purpose"

After receiving the order, Zheng Chenggong immediately took out the walkie-talkie:

"Attention five ships, His Majesty will inspect and ensure the safety of the front, and the bow artillery of each warship will fire forward."

"Yes"

The five warships made a heart-shattering sound again, and then began to fire forward.

"Woooooooo..."

"Boom bang bang..."

With the loud noise of the shelling, Zhu Youjian and others raised their binoculars one after another, and saw the calm ice surface in the distance of the lens, which was suddenly shattered by shells and splashed huge waves.

As the waves fluctuated, the ice surface began to shatter and scatter around the bounce point regularly, which made Ah Qing exclaim in admiration.

"It's so spectacular, so beautiful..."

"Isn't this a waste of money?"

But Yu Huatian began to slander his lord in his heart. He wanted to have a good time just now, but the lord said that he was a waste of money.

After the five warships fired their guns, they strolled around and returned not far away. The few naval officers and men on the battleships stood neatly on the deck and bowed slightly to Zhu Youjian:

"The mighty Ming army"

"The Armada, the fleet is invincible, sweeping the world"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live"

Long Live was called from the Tang Dynasty, not only from the Qing Dynasty. It is said that the barbarians came here first to please the Celestial Dynasty.

Although the number of people on the battleship is currently small, the battle is still exciting and makes Zhu Youjian passionate.

Zhu Youjian waved to the soldiers:

"The soldiers have worked hard, no courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the ceremony, Zheng Chenggong stepped forward and bowed to salute:

"Your Majesty, none of the six iron-clad warships have names, please give them names, Your Majesty!"

Yes, all warships should have their own names, such as our current aircraft carriers Liaoning and Shandong.

Thinking of the place names used by warships in later generations, Zhu Youjian didn't want to do that. After a little thought, he said:

"Aiqing is right. I decided to give names to six warships. The first iron-clad battleship built by Daming was called Hongwu, and the other five ships were called Shihuang, Hanwu, Guangwu, and Wendi. , Yongle."

Zhu Youjian directly used the great emperors in history as the names of the warships.

Although the first Hongwu ship, Ming Taizu was not the greatest emperor in history, his achievements cannot be erased by blows.

An ordinary commoner, relying on strong perseverance and means, finally expelled the Tartars and restored China, allowing our Han civilization to continue.

Looking at other ancient civilizations in the world, there is nothing left that was destroyed by the Aryans long ago, although the names of Egypt and India are still there.

However, their culture and language have undergone earth-shaking changes long ago, either becoming an Arab country or becoming a Communist country.

Only my Chinese civilization still stands on top of the world.

The Aryans who specialize in the destruction of ancient civilizations, in ancient China, were beaten by our national hero Fuhao and couldn't find North.

And Fuhao is just the wife of Wuding in the Shang Dynasty, a sturdy heroine, those menacing Aryans were either killed or became slaves of my Chinese people.

A San who wants to compete with China all day long, any foreign race can conquer them as long as they step into their land, not to mention the mighty Mongol Empire.

If it weren't for the appearance of Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, and if it wasn't for a small city called Diaoyushan in the west of China, the whole world would tremble and submit under the iron heel of Mongolia.

The first emperor won the government, making China a unified country for the first time, with a unified language, unified currency, built the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, burned books and buried Confucianism.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, whoever offends my strong Han will be punished even if he is far away.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, how can you get tiger cubs without entering the tiger's lair, Gan Ying arrived in the Persian Gulf, improved papermaking, Jiuzhang arithmetic, algebraic geometry, Hua Tuo Mafeisan, seismograph, etc.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, a great emperor who influenced the direction of world history, continued the Han civilization that had almost lost its inheritance, and reunified the disintegrated China. Although he died in two generations, his achievements are not inferior to the first emperor.

Zhu Di, the emperor of Yongle, repeatedly attacked alien races in the north, and Zheng He's voyages to the West were more than half a century earlier than those navigators in the West, so that the early capitalist production relations began to sprout.

For these great emperors and histories, we must not forget that the earliest iron-clad warships built in the world are named after their great names, which is also the best comfort for them.

"Hongwu, Shihuang..."

Zheng Chenggong silently recited the names of the six great emperors, and his heart was equally passionate. His absolute loyalty to Daming in history was almost unmatched. Also defeated the Dutch to conquer Taiwan.

"A good name is not only mighty but also commemorative, Your Majesty is wise."

Zheng Chenggong looked back at the five giant ships, turned around and knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian to thank the emperor for giving such a good name to his warships.

Zhu Youjian bent down to help Zheng Chenggong:
"Aiqing, don't be polite, I have entrusted several great emperors to your navy, you must not let me and these great emperors down."

"Thank you Your Majesty, Zheng Chenggong will definitely fulfill his mission."

Zhu You checked, and then remembered something. The draft of the battleship was too deep, and the canal was frozen and impassable. Why not take the opportunity to mobilize food from the south by sea to relieve the urgent need in the north.

So someone said to Zheng Chenggong:
"Aiqing, the six warships will sail south immediately, training as they go, and deliver food to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I will make arrangements there."

"According to the purpose"
