The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 430: The ancestor of the second-stage rocket, Zhu Yuanzhang, asks Master Ye, the real flying dragon is in the sky!

"Except for the fire dragon Izuku, all ship-borne long-range weapons are ready for war in four directions!"

"When any enemy ship enters the firing range, all arms are free to open fire to fight!"

After all the deputy generals in charge received the order, he looked at the flag soldier at the top and said with a slight smile: "Your archery skills are very good."

The flagman scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "To be honest with Wang Shuai, I am the person with the worst archery skills on this ship."

"I don't know why, but I was like a sharp archer just now."

Wang Baobao didn't say anything, he just looked at the young flagman soldier and smiled with satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with the performance of the flag soldiers, and also very satisfied with his own performance in this battle.

Because he did what he always wanted to do!

In fact, human potential is limited, but in many cases there are infinite possibilities.

From the history he knew, the flying general Li Guang shot an arrow into a stone, which is such a typical example.

When Li Guang saw the tiger trying to pounce on him, he immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow. After the tiger escaped, he found that his arrow had penetrated into the hard stone.

His subordinates praised him in various ways and insisted that he perform again, but he could no longer shoot into the stone!
This is human potential. Under certain circumstances, you can explode into strength that you can't even believe!
This is true for Li Guang, and so is this young man from the flag language soldier!

And the reason why this young flagman soldier was able to explode with strength that he couldn't believe was just because he wanted to protect his marshal and wanted to help his marshal!
But who is his marshal?

He was a former number one enemy, an outsider who was once quite wary!

And what does this mean?
This shows that after Wang Baobao got together with Ye Qing, he also became a member of the Hanmeng family, even though it was only on this ship and in this fleet with a small number of people.

But at least, he did what he once wanted to do but couldn't do it no matter what!
"Wang Shuai, do you want to raise the flag?"

Just when Wang Baobao was sighing like this, Qi Yubing asked again rigorously.

Wang Baobao looked at the hundreds of Japanese warships from the Southern Dynasties that were heading towards him at full speed with their wings spread apart, and immediately ordered: "Raise the waving flag quickly!"

"There are so many ships, no matter how hard I try, I can't beat them!"

"Of course, I can't fight anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down directly in the command booth, leaning against the pillar, and closed his eyes with great peace of mind.

In fact, it wasn't just the flag soldier who exploded with strength that he couldn't believe, so why didn't he?

In order to win this battle, in order to guard the entrance to the bottom cabin, why didn't he burst out with the force that was only possible when he was at his peak?

Under the sun, a flag with a blue cloth base was raised on the highest flagpole.

The reason why blue cloth is the base is because blue cloth represents the vast sea!

On the blue cloth, there is a white picture of the Big Dipper!

The Big Dipper is composed of seven stars: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. The seventh star is also called "Zhao" and is also named "Pojun Star" .

The waving flag is in the middle and high above, which is the marshal's decisive battle order.

If you really want to translate it into one sentence, it would be: "Under the guidance of this flag, the entire army marched to the front line in a mighty manner and defeated the army in one battle!"

On the deck of the admiral's ship of the Japanese Southern Dynasty,
Yamamoto Kazuki stood up and said: "He has raised the flag, why is his fleet still motionless?"

Chiba Chongwu gritted his teeth and said: "We have hundreds of ships attacking at full speed. They are so far away that they can no longer save the handsome ship."

"Pass my order to speed up the sailing of the whole army and encircle and destroy his handsome ship as soon as possible!"

"Then, return at full speed and prepare for war in Hong Kong!"

Yamamoto Kazuki knew what Chiba Chongwu meant, and they could not stay at sea for too long.

The only way is to quickly destroy the enemy's commander ship and regain the lost face, then station in port to prepare for war.

On the one hand, they can fight with their backs to ports, which can reduce the disadvantages caused by differences in weapons.

The second aspect is that he must mobilize troops to go to the front line of Ping'an and Beijing to fight against the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty.

At the same time that Chiba Chongwu's order was issued to the entire fleet, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing on the deck of the Ming Navy's blue fleet deputy commander, also spoke again.

He looked at Ye Qing and said, "Wang Baobao has raised the flag!"

"Are you blind?"

"Wang Baobao has raised the flag, why haven't you ordered the attack yet?"

According to the usual practice, if Mr. Guo, whom he wished to offend to death, dared to be so rude to him, he would have been even more rude to Mr. Guo.

But now he didn't. It didn't mean that he, Ye Qing, suddenly became generous.

But all of this can be settled later, but the fighter in front of us only has one chance!
Ye Qing just stared at the changes in the enemy fleet in front of him, and also watched the changes in the water flow in the sea ahead.

At the same time, he said calmly: "Wait a minute!"

A moment later, in the deserted hall, the time scale in the copper kettle's hourglass reached half past midnight (two o'clock in the afternoon).

At this moment, Ye Qing saw two streams of water coming in opposite directions not far from the handsome ship.

Immediately afterwards, several small whirlpools began to gradually grow in size and were still gathering not far from the handsome ship!
After Ye Qing saw this scene through the monocular telescope, he also saw that the Japanese naval fleet of the Southern Dynasties had successfully changed from a horizontal arrangement to a 'U'-shaped arrangement.

He knew that this big mouth wanted to eat their handsome ship in one bite!

Just when the handsome ship entered the 'U'-shaped mouth, but before the 'U'-shaped mouth had time to seal, Ye Qing immediately issued his order.

"Send the order from me, all troops cut off the anchor ropes and advance at full speed!"

"Use the fire dragon out of the water to scatter their fleet!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and others finally heard this order.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eager to slap Ye Qing to death, immediately smiled, and then stepped into the role of 'General Guo'.

He clasped his fists decisively and said: "The last general will take orders."

The next moment, the Blue Army fleet officers, who had already been gearing up, used all their energy.

Even the rowers and 'cyclists' in the power cabin were laughing and shouting slogans, and the strength on their hands and feet was unconsciously a little stronger.

this moment,
The soldiers of the Japanese naval fleet of the Southern Dynasty, who were preparing to encircle the handsome ship, all had their eyes widened because they saw the real "riding the wind and waves".

Yamamoto Kazuki almost succumbed: "How, how is this possible?"

"Are all their warships so fast?"

"Quick, don't be stunned, attack quickly!"

"."

Before they could use their long-range weapons to greet the handsome ship, they heard a sound that was enough to make their eardrums beat.

"what is that?"

"What the hell is that?"

"Dragon is a flying fire dragon. There really are dragons in Ming Dynasty!"

"."

The Japanese fleet and all the Japanese soldiers forgot about their offensive mission at this moment and looked at the countless fire dragons flying in the sky.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, fire dragons flew straight out from the decks of dozens of Ming warships and flew straight towards their fleet.

These fire dragons spray powerful and slender flames, and bring out long white smoke that cannot be dissipated for a long time. When hundreds of fire dragons flew over them, they quickly descended with their heads downwards.

When they were able to clearly see the specific appearance of the 'Fire Dragon', dozens more rockets were ejected from the dragon's mouth.

These dozens of rockets scattered and hit all parts of the deck!
"Boom!"

"Ugh!!"

Just when dozens of rockets hit various places on the deck, half of the rockets quickly ignited the deck, and half of the rockets exploded directly on the spot.

In an instant, the deck of the Japanese battleship turned into a burning purgatory.

Many people were directly injured by the explosion, and many people turned into burning people and jumped directly into the sea.

And under this round of attacks, there are as many as a hundred battleships whose decks have turned into hell on earth!

These one hundred fighting ships did not sink immediately, but they could only wait for the fate of sinking.

Soon, these one hundred Japanese battleships, which had lost their ability to maneuver, began to run rampant everywhere under the influence of the current.

All the Japanese soldiers on the general's ship, who had escaped due to good luck, were stunned.

Yamamoto Kazuki looked at the fleet, which was now in complete chaos, and suddenly felt weak.

If the pillars of the command booth were not there, he, a naval admiral, would have fallen directly onto the deck.

Chiba Chongwu had no time to take care of the unsteady naval admiral. He just looked at this scene and stood there blankly.

"Ashikaga Yoshimitsu!"

"Ashikaga Yoshimitsu!"

"Where did you find such powerful reinforcements?"

"This weapon"

Qianye Chongwu looked at this scene and cursed in his heart, the general of the Northern Dynasty of Japan who was actually in power.

Now, he only hopes that Ye Qing's army, which is rushing to the Ping'an Jing Pier in the Northern Dynasty of Japan, can also perform well.

Otherwise, they are all doomed!
Thinking of this, Qianye Chongwu just clenched his fist and loudly ordered: "Retreat, the entire army retreats, and is stationed in Hong Kong to prepare for war."

Yamamoto Kazuki shook his head unconsciously and said: "They have this magical weapon. Aren't we stationed in Hong Kong a living target for them?"

"This is right there, let them perform 'Burning Red Cliff'!"

Chiba Chongwu's eyes immediately lit up, and then he laughed at himself, and then ordered listlessly: "The entire army returns to the port. After arriving at the port, all abandon the ship and take away all the weapons that can be taken away."

"We must stop them on land and not let them break into Nara Castle!"

"."

After a while, the remaining Japanese navy, less than 300 imitation Tang warships, decisively turned around and returned to port at full speed.

At the same time, the soldiers on the handsome ship all cheered.

At this moment, they were extremely proud, and they were absolutely entitled to be proud.

"Wang Shuai, we have won."

"Wang Shuai?"

The deputy general wanted to come to the war pavilion to announce the good news, but found that their commander-in-chief had fallen asleep leaning against the pillar.

At this moment, the golden hidden carving on the nine-ringed sword on the side also reflected the dazzling light again.

In the eyes of the deputy general, the side of the man with the words 'General of the Ming Dynasty - Wang Baobao' was shining in the sun, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

He just waved and asked his soldiers to carry Wang Baobao, who was completely stained red with the blood of Japanese slaves, into the cabin hall.

Just when the cabin door was closed, the deputy general gave him a standard Han military salute!

Immediately afterwards, he stood on the command booth and took over the captain's position.

"Transmit this general's order,"

"Lower the commander's flag, take the deputy commander's ship as the leader, cut off the anchor rope, join the fleet, and head for the Nanchao Beach of Japan!"

"."

At this moment, on the deck of the adjutant ship,

The actual founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the Generalissimo of the Ming Army Xu Da, as well as Zhu Di and Mao Xiang, were still in shock from the scene just now.

As far as Xu Da, Mao Xiang and Zhu Di were concerned, they were just shocked and happy.

They were shocked that there was such a firearm in the world that could fly over and strike the enemy like a fire dragon from several miles away.

"nice!"

"It's really a fire dragon coming out of the water, a flying dragon in the sky, a divine dragon breathing out fire!"

"Okay, what a talented brother Ye, what a shockingly talented Master Ye!"

When Xu Da said this, he patted his eldest son-in-law Zhu Di on the shoulder and said, "Guo Silang, learn from your master."

"Uncle Xu, I know."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Da, Zhu Di and Mao Xiang focused their attention on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Because they discovered that in addition to shock and happiness, there was also a hint of fear in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes that was not easy to detect.

He must be afraid!

What if Ye Qing lets this fleet target his Longjiang Shipyard?
Not only did he feel scared, but he also felt that his previous behavior was that of a clown!
Now he finally understood why Ye Qing could be so calm!

If he had such a magical weapon, he would be much calmer than Ye Qing!
Ye Qing looked at the scene in front of him, and he couldn't say he was very happy, because he had seen too many such results.

In fact, this so-called 'fire dragon coming out of water' was not Ye Qing's first creation!
In fact, this kind of weapon was a new type of amphibious rocket invented by the Ming Dynasty firearms masters in the mid-16th century, that is, the mid-Ming Dynasty. It was also the ancestor of the 'two-stage rocket' in later generations!

What Ye Qing did was to modify the shape of the firearm to make it more aerodynamic, so as to achieve a longer range, faster rate of fire, and higher accuracy.

Another improvement is that he increased the number of 'cluster rockets' in the dragon head, and designed burning arrows and explosive arrows whose main raw material is 'phosphorus'.

Again, he is just a clumsy person, unable to make absolute inventions.

But after a long period of study and accumulation, there is still no problem in making some small improvements on the existing basis.

"Transmit my order,"

"Sail at full speed, use our cannons, and kick their asses!"

"Tell all ships not to use the 'Fire Dragon Out of the Water' anymore. When attacking the Japanese slave capital, I have my own magical uses!"

"."

After Ye Qing gave the order, he was ready to go back and rest.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Mr. Guo with a cold look on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang sternly reprimanded: "Brother Ye, Lord Ye, you are so courageous!"

"You created such a powerful firearm, and how dare you not submit the technical drawings to the court?"

"Do you know what this crime is?".
