Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 368 Chapter 368 Another Surprise
Seeing that the retreat was blocked by a giant iron-clad battleship, the black hole on the giant ship's muzzle was already aimed at his sailing battleship.

Knowing that there was no other way out but surrender, Lysons hurriedly asked several subordinates to raise the white flag.

"Quickly, raise the white flag and surrender."

But how could they have thought that they would lose the battle, and Bai Qi was not by their side at all.

Just now, he was beaten up by a Ming army warship again. The battleship caught fire in many places, and the white flag could not be found at all.

"Captain, we don't have a white flag! What should we do?"

"Boom..."

Before the soldiers finished speaking, the cannon on the bow of the Hongwu ship had already fired?
A shell directly penetrated the bow position of their wooden battleship.

Although an iron plate was installed there, the wood could no longer withstand the attack, and a big hole was blasted out of the bow, and the sea water rushed into the cabin.

"God……"

Lysons was terrified, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in order to survive, and he quickly took off his shorts.

"Hang it up, this one is white, it should be fine."

The commander of the Hongwu is Zhang Huangyan, and he doesn't want to sink the opponent's warship just yet.

The opponent's battleship obviously had no strength to fight back, and there were no reinforcements, which just allowed the gunners to practice their accuracy.

So keep bombarding the Portuguese galleon with just one heavy gun and see how many guns it takes to sink him.

"Deputy governor, you see they have raised the white flag, do you want to continue fighting?"

The observation post suddenly found a small white flag raised by the opposing warship, and hurriedly asked Zhang Huangyan for instructions.

Zhang Huangyan picked up the binoculars and looked. Where was the white flag, it was clearly a pair of white shorts.

Under normal circumstances, seeing this situation, Zhang Huangyan certainly knew that the opponent's warship wanted to surrender.

But they are invaders, openly invading our Ming Dynasty, if they can't defeat Da Ming, they want to surrender.

If there is any consequence of the defeat of Ming Dynasty, not only will the territory be ceded, but compensation will be paid and a public apology will be made.

Zhang Huangyan snorted coldly:
"Hmph, it's too simple to think. Before they invaded Ming Dynasty, why didn't they think about the consequences. The governor didn't see any white flags. Change incendiary bombs and burn them to death!"

"Yes"

The Portuguese sailors were overjoyed when they saw that the giant ship of Ming Dynasty stopped shelling after the "white flag" was raised, and hurriedly reported to Lysons:

"Captain, your artifact is indeed useful, the Ming people have stopped shelling."

Lysons laughed triumphantly, completely forgetting the embarrassment just now.

"Hahaha, these Ming people are still easy to deceive. As long as we escape from Shengtian, we must ask His Majesty the King to send a large fleet to retaliate against them. At that time, we will not only want Macau, but the whole of Guangdong will be in the pocket of our kingdom."

"Rumble..."

"Boom bang..."

Lysons' smug laughter didn't stop when suddenly five shells landed on the deck of their sailing warship.

"God……"

Lysons was taken aback, but when he saw that the shells did not seriously damage the battleship deck, he seemed to suddenly realize:
"Hurry up, speed up and escape, the Ming people have run out of shells, these useless shells can't hurt us at all."

There were a total of more than 300 people on their warships, and more than 200 were killed by Ming army cannons.

Now there are about a hundred soldiers left, and half of them are wounded. Hearing that the Ming people have no heavy artillery shells, I immediately feel like a new life.

The soldiers who were injured and unable to move also ran to the deck to help raise the sails and prepare to speed up their escape.

"Rumble..."

Five shells exploded suddenly, and the battleship burst into flames instantly, and only those people who were burned were crying for their fathers and mothers.

Oh, no, to be precise, it was repeatedly calling out to God for help.

Zhang Huangyan saw the Portuguese battleship ignited a fire, he put down the binoculars in his hand and ordered:

"Incendiary bombs, keep bombing until they're all incinerated."

"Yes"

"Rumble..."

This time it was no longer five incendiary bombs, but 24 naval guns bombarded at the same time.

Another seven or eight incendiary bombs fell on the Portuguese battleship, and immediately the entire battleship burst into flames.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, your navy has successfully sunk eight enemy warships, successfully recovered Macau, and rewarded you with [-] war points."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully fighting the intruders, the system rewards a carriage with rubber tires."

Zhu Youjian, who was studying textbooks in the imperial study, suddenly heard the soft beep of the system, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Although recovering Macau was a piece of cake, the system successfully activated the reward mode again, which made him very happy.

He handed the textbook he studied to the little eunuch Erxi:
"Give this to the Imperial College. In the new year, Daming will follow this teaching without any mistakes."

"According to the purpose"

The little eunuch Erxi agreed, and hastily bowed to take the textbook and exited the imperial study.

During this period of time, Zhu Youjian was in a good mood. During the day, he studied reforms and people's livelihood with civil and military officials, and at night, four little flowers and Ruyan Aqing took good care of him.

Let Qinhuai Bayan come to dance, dance and sing in her spare time, it was such a cool day.

After Song Yingxing's arrival, not only the efficiency of the arsenal of the Ministry of Industry was significantly accelerated, but also more than a dozen large textile factories and garment factories were opened in Daming.

Some time ago, six ironclad battleships led the way, and other warships followed to transport food.

Let the people's food problem be solved temporarily, it is really good things coming one after another.

Looking at the days, today should be the harvest time of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the Changping greenhouse.

Zhu Youjian stretched himself to stand up, and walked out of the imperial study.

The continuous heavy snow has stopped. Although the weather is still as cold as ever, it is sunny, which can be regarded as adding some warmth to the cold winter.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. May I ask when you are leaving?"

A pleasant female voice came, and Ah Qing walked forward slowly wearing a fur coat, with a sweet smile on her pretty face.

Zhu Youjian grabbed A Qingyu's hand, and gently squeezed her other hand on her flamboyant pretty face:
"Let's go now"

Ah Qing raised her mouth slightly, and said with a coquettish smile:
"Your Majesty, don't pinch my concubine's face. Others will see the marks when I go out later."

"Oh, do you mean to pinch a place I can't see?"

Zhu Youjian smirked, looking at Ah Qing's towering place.

Although they often play games and do shameful things together, Ah Qing couldn't help but blushed when she heard such words and looked at where the emperor looked, and cried out in a low voice:
"His Majesty……"

"Let's go, Ah Qing is getting more and more charming, if I don't go, I might make a mistake, haha..."

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly, and walked out of Qianqing Palace.

"See Your Majesty."

Qinglong Cao Zhengchun and the royal guards had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw the emperor and Ah Qing coming out, they immediately stepped forward to salute.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:
"No courtesy, let's go!"

"According to the purpose"

Everyone jumped on their horses one after another and galloped towards Changping.

Today in Changping must be the busiest day in history.

All the officials of the household department and various farm officials, as well as villagers from several nearby counties, came to the greenhouse early in the morning.

Even many farm officials have lived in nearby villages for several days.

Many people are almost skeptical, waiting for the moment to witness the miracle.
