Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 126 Afterword
A country cannot be without a king for a day, who should be the emperor, and there are serious differences among the Mongolian, Han, and Hui tribes in the court. Naturally, all forces want to establish a monarch who can represent their own interests, and then a party struggle broke out. !
As the central dynasty of the Yuan Dynasty, the changes in the dynasty are known everywhere. The emperor and the crown prince died on the same day, which is really shocking.

But it also gave opportunities to many covetous surrounding forces, especially the Qincha Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate who had been dissatisfied with the Mongolian Yuan and were only afraid of Kublai Khan. After learning the news, they began to tentatively harass the border.

Annan's side even advanced into Yunnan, but was repelled by the cooperation of local ethnic minorities and Han people, but it also caused great losses.

For a while, the surrounding area was filled with flames of war.

In the dispute between the court and the central reserve, according to the orthodox traditions of the Han Dynasty, Gan Mala, the legitimate son of the crown prince Zhenjin, has the right to inherit.

However, the concubine Kuo Kuo Zhen loved the third son Tie Mu'er even more. With the help of his foreign minister Boyan, Tie Mu'er successfully won the throne.

But because of this, several bloody battles broke out in the court, and many important officials died.

When Tie Mu'er succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to draw a circle on the map of Fengcheng, Jiangxi. Anyone in the circle, regardless of whether they had anything to do with the Fan family, would be executed, and no one was allowed to exist in this location.

At the same time, the assassins were wanted all over the world, and ordered to prepare troops and build warships to attack Japan.

Fan Zhuoyuan had already informed his relatives in Fengcheng, and he even quietly sent many tenants and relatives who were willing to follow them to explore overseas to Japan.

Fan Zhuoyuan handed over all the family property to the relatives and tenants who still chose to stay in Fengcheng.At this time, it was too late to even regret it.

The typhoon season had just passed, and Japan had received news from Fan Zhuoyuan before he left for Kyoto.

Fan Pengcheng resolutely raised troops and captured all the civil servants sent by the imperial court to the Japanese provinces alive.

This news was sent back to Yuan Dadu after the typhoon season, which made Tie Mu'er furious.

Tie Mo'er's behavior is more similar to the early nomadic Mongols. He is extremely brutal and good at military combat. He once served in the Northwest Frontier Army and made considerable military exploits.

It is a pity that Kublai Khan could live for more than ten years. After the death of Prince Zhenjin, Kublai Khan would train Tie Mu'er, exercise his ability to govern the political army, and establish the Prince's East Palace staff.

Therefore, in history, after Tie Mu'er succeeded to the throne, he only reigned for about ten years. Although rebellions occurred from time to time in various parts of the Northwest Khan, they were still able to stabilize the situation.

But now Tie Mu'er is not as lucky to have been tempered for more than ten years. After he came to power, except for the powerful ministers who supported him at that time, he has no trustworthy ministers in his residence.

In addition, he is very young, has a hot temper, has never cultivated in the city, acts willfully regardless of national power, and ignores the interests of the Han princes because of the appointment of semuren, which makes the DPRK and China continue to fight and the internal struggle is serious.

In order to conquer the sun, Tie Muer ordered to collect and build warships and train the navy, which took more than a year. Exacerbated financial consumption.

Some Hanchen proposed to stabilize the Northwest through marriage and make a decision in Japan first.

But just because the opponent was Hanchen, and because Tie Muer was young and energetic and unwilling to admit defeat, he categorically rejected such a proposal, and in the name of insulting the dignity of the Jin family, he ransacked the Hanchen's house and punished him, which immediately ordered everyone in the court. People of insight no longer dare to come up with strategies easily.

Until one year later, in March, a total of 50 troops were gathered from the north and the south, plus Korea, and [-] warships gathered in Tianjin Port, sailing along the coastline, and after arriving in North Korea, they directly attacked Tsushima Island, still referring to the previous two Eastern Route Army The Japanese tactics were carried out.

And the choice of commander is still Xindu, just because he is the nephew of Ahema, the leader of the money-making sect!
At this time, the Fan family's army stationed in Japan had been recuperating for three years, transporting a large number of people from the south to Japan, and training local Japanese civilians to join the army, the total strength had already expanded to more than [-].

At the same time, a large number of warships were built, and Zhang Xiaoxiao came later, and many special ships that were conducive to naval warfare were built one after another, such as the turtle boats used by Yi sun-shin in later generations.

However, during this trip, Fan Pengcheng only sent [-] warships to the Strait of Tsushima Island to fight, including more than [-] three-story and three-sail ships, equipped with at least [-] artillery pieces.

Nowadays, with the development of blast furnace smelting technology, the Fan family's army has been able to use Japanese local steel to cast cannons weighing more than [-] jin, and the technology is very mature.

This also allowed Fan Zhuoyuan's most primitive Huomen gun to be deployed in batches.

The naval battleships of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were not only small, but the weapons that could be used were mostly bed crossbows, trebuchets, and some artillery, but these artillery generally did not dare to build large, and because the gunpowder was impure, the firing distance was relatively short.

The soldiers on board still use bows and crossbows as their main long-range weapons, including some rocket vehicles similar to swarms of bees, which are used to burn enemy ships, but the number is small and out of scale.

The Fan family's navy carried less luggage, and out of two thousand warships, they were all warships, not cargo ships or merchant ships. Although the number was small, their firepower was far superior to that of the Mongolian Yuan army.

In the early days of the battle, the hundred or so large ships with three sails as the main force first fired at the densely formed warships of the Yuan army.

At the same time, the Yuan army was shocked, and only then did they realize what kind of terrifying weapons the Southern Army stationed in Japan, which had been neglected by them, possessed.

However, the war had just begun, so they naturally wouldn't admit defeat. Relying on the fact that the battleships were twice as large as the Fan family's navy, the two wings of warships circled around to attack.

At this time, more than a hundred turtle ships on each wing of the Fan family navy sailed out directly, crashing into the formation of thousands of warships on the two wings of the Yuan army.

From the perspective of others, these hundred turtle ships could not stop the enemy at all, they just died for nothing, but soon they will realize the mistake.

The central main force of the Fan family navy, leading many conventional warships at this time, still used powerful long-range firepower to attack the central main force of the Yuan army, especially aiming at the direction of the flagship.

Coupled with Fan's navy's familiarity with the hydrological environment, they can often take advantage of ocean currents and sea winds to occupy important positions, keep a maneuvering distance from the enemy, and prevent being jumped into battle. It has been consuming the main force of the Yuan army like flying a kite.

And each turtle ship that confronted the two wings of the Yuan army was equipped with ten small cannons, and the bottom of the ship could be moved by protruding oars, without the need of full wind power, and could also turn around on the spot, which was very flexible.

After entering the two wings of the Yuan army battleship, they fired at close range.

The strong crossbows and trebuchets of the Yuan army can hardly cause effective damage to the iron-clad and strengthened turtle ships, not to mention the hit rate of the Yuan army at sea is even more impressive.

It is more difficult for the bow and crossbow at close range to hurt the turtle boat. Even if you want to set fire, it is blocked by the iron sheet on the top of the turtle boat, making it difficult to burn through.

Then I naturally thought of jumping into gangs and fighting, directly killing people and seizing ships.
