"Your Majesty. "

Civilian, military, and military officials surrendered in unison.

Seeing the emperor act thunderously and leave the court angrily, all the civil and military officials secretly wiped a cold sweat

"Your Majesty's three holy decrees are just illustrating one thing, Your Majesty wants to annihilate all the British battleships, let them have no return, and let them regret it. "

"Yes, whether it is a vassal country of Daming or not, as long as it dares to collude with the Sun Never Sets Empire and dare to disobey the orders of my Daming Empire, it is the enemy of my Daming Empire and will be destroyed together. "

"It seems that His Majesty is particularly interested in this matter and is really angry. "

The court minister walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall at one time, and there was a lot of discussion.

The wrath of the Son of Heaven, that is, the wrath of heaven!

The wrath of the emperor, that is, the anger of the entire Daming Empire!

If the Daming Empire is angry and sends millions of troops, which country in the world can resist stubbornly?

The court ministers withdrew in turn, all wiping a cold sweat.

"Seeing His Majesty angry, it scared me, and I thought that His Majesty was going to find trouble with officials again, and it would be difficult for my officials to do the work of my officials in such a kill." "

Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette patted his chest.

"That's not it, I thought His Majesty was going to ask me for silver again, which made the old man worry." "

Yan Song, the second assistant of the cabinet, was even more secretly rejoicing.

"It's okay, it's just a false alarm, the Britons have crossed the sea, come thousands of miles, it is a duckweed without roots, it's just an inconspicuous little thing, I will be able to annihilate it without much effort." "

Shangshu Yu Qian of the military department was full of confidence and seemed very calm.

For the Britons, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty still knew something, but relying on dozens of broken ships and occupying some colonies, they were arrogant to the limit.

Now the Daming Empire, not long after defeating Wala, is in full swing and extremely powerful, and is worried that no enemy has appeared, and will pull out the navy made of 30 million taels of silver for training.

Victory can not only promote officials, but also make a fortune, and many military generals who are eager to make meritorious achievements wish that His Majesty would launch more wars so that they could establish meritorious achievements.

These Britons are really grasshoppers shaking big trees, not measuring their own strength, and they are tired and crooked.

......

South, a coastal defense line. 17

Duke Charles commanded twelve imperial warships that never set and appeared on the sea.

Look ahead.

From Duke Charles, to every sailor soldier, there was an extreme desire in their eyes.

The legendary ancient oriental country that is rich and full of gold is right in front of you.

"It's really a superpower that makes people tremble, this empire is so big, our empire that never sets in front of it, it is like an inconspicuous island. "

"According to legend, this eastern country is rich and full of gold, and the house where their emperor lived was made of gold. "

"Little ones, follow me to the shores, where there is an inexhaustible supply of riches. "

Just when the Britons were excited and inexplicably talking about the wealth of the Daming Empire, above the sea, among the monstrous waves, a black pressure suddenly appeared, coming towards them.

Like a tsunami, it seems to annihilate them at any time.

"Oh my God, open your eyes and see, what the hell is that?"

One sailor's eyes widened with shock.

"Oops, run!"

That's the biggest beast in the ocean, it's the devil that devours everything, set sail at full speed and get out of here. "

Duke Charles was stunned and hurriedly ordered the fleet to flee at full speed.

In front of them, huge warships appeared, one by one, like small mountains, they had never seen or heard of it.

They were proud of the royal battleship that never sets, the largest eighteen zhang and nine zhang wide, and they once proudly believed that their warship was the largest in the world.

Suddenly, however, their perception was turned upside down.

They saw a large ship thirty-six feet long and twenty-seven feet wide, slowly appearing from the end of their eyes and speeding towards them.

The worst thing is that this is not yet the largest battleship.

However, what they never expected was that this was not the main ship, but just a group of frigates!

Under the escort of this group of frigates, a giant Mac forty-eight feet long and thirty-six feet wide appeared in their field of vision like a big mountain.

This scene is undoubtedly extremely shocking!

Overwhelmed them!

The Britons considered themselves the most advanced British ships in the world, and they seemed incomparably small.

Their largest battleship is no more than eighteen zhang... Compared to this behemoth, it is simply not worth mentioning.

"Set sail at full speed, run away!"

"Oh my God, have you thought that this warship of the eastern power can actually be so big!"

Every sailor and soldier is exclaiming, panicking, and trembling involuntarily.

On the royal battleship that never sets, under the personal urging of Duke Charles, the sailors exerted their strength to eat, and they were paddling wildly, they wanted to flee here, because they found out at this moment that they had completely underestimated the strength of the Daming Empire.

Phew

Phew

Phew

The sound of the horn resounded in the sky, deafening.

Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck of the Shenlong battleship, looking at the British battleship fleeing in embarrassment, with a contemptuous look on his face.

"Just these broken ships, dare to invade the Daming Sea?"

"It's a self-defeating end!"

Your Majesty has a purpose, declare war on the empire that never sets, since these broken ships dare to invade our Daming Sea area, they will not let him go back, and not a single one will be allowed to escape!"

On the battleship Shenlong, Zheng Chenggong manually commanded the Daming navy and began to encircle and suppress the imperial battleship that never sets.

Duke Charles and the others, after seeing the huge battleship of the Daming Navy, frantically fled.

Where have they ever seen such a Big Mac?

In their cognition, their Royal Battleship is currently the most advanced warship in the world.

However, at this moment, our three views have been subverted!

But they met the ancestors of shipbuilding!

At the bow of the Shenlong battleship, Zheng Chenggong shouted an order: "Your Majesty has a decree, declare war and never set the empire!

"The generals obey the order, the whole army strikes, and fires the artillery!"

Zheng Chenggong drew his waist knife and ordered the navy to attack the whole army, and 1808 warships, with the momentum of thunder, pounced on the British fleet!

Boom!

On the sea, gunsmoke was raging, and the sound of artillery fire was deafening.

After a round of shelling, more than half of the British warships were instantly sunk.

One hundred and eight warships marched mightily, like a fierce tiger pounced, and the royal fleet of twelve warships never set without resistance.

"Back at full speed, run away!"

Duke Charles commanded the few remaining warships, frantically breaking through the encirclement of the Daming navy, and when he broke through like crazy, the British royal battleship broke out with powerful firepower.

Zheng Chenggong frowned slightly.

The power of the Empire's artillery that never sets exceeded his expectations and aroused his interest.

So, Zheng Chenggong put away his contempt.

Today, if a battleship that never sets escapes, he has no face to meet the saint, no face to face the Manchu Dynasty, no face to face the people of Daming.

This is a fleet made of 30 million taels of silver!

Moreover, he still fought against twelve battleships with 1808 warships, and if he still let the enemy break through the encirclement and run away, he had no face to see Jiangdong's father, and he could only apologize for his crimes.

I have to say that the artillery fire of the Sun Never Sets Empire is indeed very powerful.

However, the warship fleet of the Daming Navy was as many as one hundred and eight, and such a huge number of warships surrounded and suppressed several British warships.

If they let them put wings on the battleship, it will be difficult to escape!

Under the fire of the Daming Navy, the British warships sank one after another.

"Don't fire any more guns, catch them alive!"

Seeing that there were less than three enemy ships left, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly ordered to capture the enemy alive.

Until the end, the Daming navy captured all the remaining Britons, and they did not escape the encirclement of the Daming navy.

Zheng Chenggong held up a copper-tube telescope and looked at this naval battle.

This was the first actual combat training of the Daming Navy under his rule, and the object of the first training was the Empire of the Sun Never Sets, the most powerful naval force in the world.

These days do not set battleships, small and lean, not to be underestimated!

The war ended quickly, lasting only an hour from the discovery of the enemy to its destruction, and nine of the twelve battleships of the Britons were sunk and three captured.

This is a one-sided crushing naval battle.

The Daming Navy, one hundred and eight warships, a total of 58,000 navies.

The British fleet, twelve warships, totaled 3,600 men in the navy.

Even before the war began, the Britons fled without a fight, because they saw the sea giants and were terrified.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong chose to capture some Britons.

It was because when the two sides fought, he saw some clues.

The British artillery was very sharp, and although the range of those artillery was not as good as that of the Daming artillery, the power of the British artillery exceeded that of the Daming artillery.

Zheng Chenggong was curious about the artillery used by the Britons.

Zheng Chenggong boarded the captured British battleship, and the surrendered Britons had been tied up, pushed to the deck, knelt on the ground, and the knife and axe were ready to cut off their heads. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

After Zheng Chenggong boarded these British warships, he ignored the prisoners, but went straight to the battery and began to check the artillery on the British battleships.

These British guns are composed of female and sub-guns, the female clamp has a slender tube, a small caliber, and a front sight and a light door, which can aim and shoot at long-range targets.

There are gun lugs on both sides of the body, which can be placed on the bracket and can be tilted to adjust the firing angle.

The rear of the clamp body is thicker and has a long hole slot to fill the sub-clamp.

The sub-clamps are similar to the small fire clamps, each female clamp is equipped with a maximum sub-clamp, which can be pre-loaded with ammunition for backup, and the female clamp is loaded into the mother clamp in turn during the battle, thus increasing the firing speed.

Staring at these artillery pieces, Zheng Chenggong thought thoughtfully.

Daming's artillery is to load artillery, and then fill shells in, slow reloading, put a cannon, load a shell.

This British artillery turned out to be loaded with nine shells at a time, rotating into the main gun.

"These guns are kind of interesting!"

Zheng Chenggong boarded the deck of the British ships, inspected these British ships, found their advantages, and supplemented their shortcomings.

His Majesty gave him an order to train a warship to conquer the world within a year, otherwise he would be given death.

The thirty million taels of silver given by His Majesty the Emperor is not so easy to get!

Zheng Chenggong returned home in triumph, and behind him were three British warships and more than three hundred British prisoners.

Zheng Chenggong returned to the Governor's Mansion and began to write the folds.

......

A few days later, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Qizhen opened the fold submitted by Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong's handover of the fold shows the exchange of fire between the Daming Navy and the British fleet.

Although this time the Daming navy won a complete victory against the British fleet, in the naval battle, Zheng Chenggong still discovered some flaws in the Daming navy.

In this naval battle, as long as a cannon hit the hull of the Daming ship, it would deal a devastating blow to the hull.

This is the biggest drawback of all warships.

In the face of artillery raids, the defense of wooden ships was too fragile.

In this naval battle, the British fleet desperately broke through, and under the artillery counterattack, a Daming warship was hit by the British fleet's artillery fire, causing heavy damage to the hull and requiring maintenance.

"In the face of this kind of victory, please be punished!"

"Chen has already inspected the badly damaged warships boarded, these warships are all hull damaged, the shells directly pierced the wooden hull, even if these hulls are relatively strong, but in the face of shelling, these wooden hulls still appear fragile as paper. "

"If there is another naval battle, it is necessary to cover it with a longer range of artillery to avoid the opponent's artillery fire hitting its own warship, even the most advanced wooden warships, can not withstand a round of shelling. "

Zhu Qizhen put down Zheng Chenggong's fold and pondered.

Judging from the results of this naval battle, the construction of steel battleships must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

The research and development of craftsmen in the Ministry of Works is slow, and the Ministry of Works should be accelerated.

Wooden sailing ships will definitely not be able to withstand artillery attacks, do not wooden sailing ships, even if ironclad warships are attacked by artillery, there is also a risk of being sunk.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Order, enter the palace to face the saint!"

This sea battle ended with the complete victory of the Daming navy, and the Sun Never Set Empire shocked the whole country.

Moreover, the vassal countries around the Daming Empire saw that the Daming Navy was so powerful, destroying the British fleet was like cutting vegetables, and they were so frightened that they broke off diplomatic trade with the British Kingdom!

They are very close to the Daming Empire, and if the Daming Empire angers them because they trade with Britain, they simply cannot withstand the wrath of the Daming Empire!

And Zhu Qizhen also knows.

The reason why Zheng Chenggong did not completely annihilate the enemy army and wanted to capture some of them was that new technologies would inevitably appear in the sun, and there would be places beyond Daming.

We must take advantage of our strengths and make up for our own strengths.

There is no doubt that Zheng Chenggong's non-blind arrogant character is appreciated by Zhu Qizhen.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Before the arrival of Shangshu of the Ministry of Work, Zhu Qizhen considered how the Daming Empire should develop.

Judging by the British warships and artillery fire.

At present, maritime powers have risen.

Among the Daming Empire, perhaps only Zhu Qizhen knows that the Sun Never Sets Empire is only one of many maritime powers,

The scientific and technological development of the Daming Empire must be advanced and must be rapid, otherwise, it will be easily surpassed by these maritime powers.

Perhaps, has already been surpassed!

"Your Majesty, Shangshu of the Ministry of Works has arrived, and he is waiting outside the palace. "

Wei Zhongxian entered the Qianqing Palace and bowed to report.

"Come in. "

Zhu Qizhen spoke lightly.

After Shangshu of the Ministry of Works entered the Qianqing Palace, he knelt down and bowed down.

"Wei Chen see Your Majesty. "

"Wei Zhongxian, give Lord Shangshu a seat. "

At Zhu Qizhen's orders, Wei Zhongxian brought a Taishi chair, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Works sat on it.

"Navy Governor Zheng Chenggong has already received good news, this naval battle, the Daming navy has tried a small battle, has won a big victory. Nine royal warships were annihilated, three were captured, and more than 800 Britons were captured. They are now being held in naval prisons. This is a success, you see. "

Zhu Qizhen spoke lightly and handed Zheng Chenggong to Shangshu of the Ministry of Work.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Works got up, and while carefully receiving the good news, he said respectfully: "In order to build the Daming Navy, His Majesty allocated 30 million taels of silver, and this time it was just a cow knife to kill chickens. "

Hearing that the Daming Navy had won, a happy smile appeared on Shangshu's old face.

However, a moment later, after reading the fold, Shangshu of the Ministry of Works frowned.

"Your Majesty, this... How is this possible?"

"It's just shocking, Wei Chen can't believe it, could it be that the barbarian artillery is even more powerful than the artillery of my Daming Empire?"

When Shangshu of the Ministry of Works spoke, his voice trembled a little.
