Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

On the East Sea, Chen Xuan was commanding the navy to fight.

At this time, it was a stormy time on the sea.

Countless turbulent waves came over them like mountains, trying to overturn the warship several times.

But it fell smoothly under the skillful control of the sailor.

Chen Xuan sincerely admires Su Ran.

Under his leadership, warships going to sea were wrapped with a thin steel plate.

These steel plates are no more than one millimeter thick.

But Chen Xuan was astonished by its sturdiness.

Even if fire guns and divine arm crossbows were fired on it, only a few small craters would be left.

Impenetrable at all.

Although it is not possible to completely defend against artillery, naval battles undoubtedly add a layer of protection.

After passing through a hurricane wave, Chen Xuan clung to a pirate ship.

There was a group of Dutchmen on this pirate ship. As soon as they landed and robbed a village, they were discovered by the maritime patrol, and then the beacon was ignited.

As soon as Chen Xuan heard that they were red-haired Yi people, he directly chased them in a boat.

Dirty Dutch pirates on the pirate ship opposite.

He kept shouting and threatening with a knife.

There were also pirates who took off their pants and slapped their buttocks in provocation.

In response, Chen Xuan sneered and said nothing.

At this time, the wind and waves were high, and the French aircraft equipped by the Dutch could not be used at all.

The sailors on the ship also turned a deaf ear.

Maneuver the warship skillfully.

Captain Pullman was holding a giant ax and staring calmly at the battlefield.

"...nkt!"

The deputy of the pirate ship came over and reported: "The Ming army's ships are chasing us in a hurry."

"Don't worry!" Captain Pullman shouted: "Wait a while and cross this sea area.

It's when we compete with these evil orientals,

We will let the Ming army experience the power of our powerful artillery!"

He turned around and shouted: "Full left rudder, half sail! Speed ​​up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a roar.

The warship passed through a rough wave and arrived at a gentle sea in an instant.

"Phelps!" shouted the captain, "how much gunpowder do we have left?"

"Dear Captain."

First Mate Phelps shouted: "The wind and waves were too strong just now, and the cabin was leaking.

All the gunpowder is soaked and must be returned to the island to dry again!"

"It doesn't matter!" Pullman laughed ferociously, picked up the giant ax and licked the blade: "Then let these Ming troops have a taste of our boarding battle!"

He laughed evilly, put down his battle ax and shouted: "Turn left with full rudder! Lower the ship's sail to half!"

My children, today we will let these Ming troops taste the feeling of being crushed!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan's warship had passed through the wind and waves.

Difficulty rushed towards them.

"Weak Oriental!"

Captain Pullman shouted: "Meet our axe!"

A group of dirty pirates immediately raised their scimitars.

It made a strange howling sound.

"Gunner, prepare to fire!"

Pullman shouted, and the shooting windows appeared on both sides of the ship.

Rapid-fire cannons poked out of the window, and the crew began to nervously load gunpowder.

"I've heard about these ignorant Orientals a long time ago."

Pullman put down his telescope and smiled: "My dear Phelps,

Look at them, there are no artillery installed on the ship!

Are they preparing to fight us in close combat?"

Phelps laughed loudly: "Respect the captain, wait until we catch their captain,

We'll trade them for ten thousand bolts of silk!

Oh, and there are a hundred oriental beauties!"

"Captain, I heard that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was very stupid. He only allowed the study of literature, writing, and astronomical laws." Phelps said, "That's why they can't develop a powerful nation."

"Oh, my dear Phelps."

Pullman laughed and said: "If you become emperor,

Nor will we allow anything that threatens us to develop!

So although the Ming Dynasty looked big, they were actually very weak.

Just like pork on our chopping board!”

When the two captains said this, they burst out laughing.

Along with their wild whispers, cannons were fired on the ship.

Boom boom boom!

Solid iron balls roared towards Chen Xuan's warship.

A few cannonballs missed, but a few still hit the hull.

Captain Pullman and the first mate could almost imagine it.

The next moment, the warship will burst into pieces on the spot.

Then the entire Ming army turned into drowned rats and allowed themselves to be teased by pirates like them!

The two people with this idea looked at them helplessly.

clang!

A cannonball hit the side of the ship with a dull bang.

Then it bounced into the water and stirred up waves.

The telescopes in the captain's and first mate's hands fell to the ground at the same time.

"How is this possible?" the first mate picked up the telescope and said angrily.

However, the other seven or eight solid cannonballs that hit the warship were all bounced off the ship's planks without exception, causing heavy splashes of water.

"Oh my God!" The captain looked at the Ming army warship with dumbfounded eyes.

"Did they put iron plates into the hull?"

"Turn the ship around and run with full sail!"

Phelps jumped up and shouted.

The surrounding pirate sailors immediately became busy.

Opposite the pirate ship, Chen Xuan looked at the busy pirate ship opposite.

He sneered and said: "These barbarians should be allowed to

Let’s see our Ming Dynasty’s firearms in person..."

He slashed with his right hand and shouted sternly: "Fire dragon, prepare, flying thunder and fire kite!"

Next to them, the Ming army sailors quickly pulled out wooden boxes one by one.

After peeling off the oil paper, a series of fire dragons were revealed. After setting up the racks on the hull, they aimed at the distance.

Bah!

Along with the crisp sound of the lighter, the sizzling fire line ignited.

Pullman, the pirate captain, who was hurriedly turning the rudder, suddenly saw several fireballs flying from the Ming army's warship opposite, emitting a rapid roar that broke through the air.

After flying all the way to their ship, it suddenly exploded.

There was a scream.

This kind of flying thunder and fire kite is full of small lead bullets, and it takes a day to explode.

After several flying thunder and fire kites exploded, the pirates on the ship were not killed.

However, his whole body was covered with blood holes, and he could only lie on the cabin and cry.

Immediately afterwards, two thick fire dragons flew over under the surprised eyes of the captain and first mate.

When they were still very close to their warship.

The fire dragon's mouth suddenly spurted out a large cloud of fire oil [Song almost reached the side of their ship at ten o'clock. 【013404319 Feilu 123401131】

Captain Pullman was on the verge of tears.

He could completely imagine if such a fire dragon really sprayed onto the warship.

What will happen to their warships!

Who is the one who said that the navy of the dynasty was useless?

If I can go back this time, I will definitely chop off his head!

Captain Pullman was on the verge of tears.

The Ming army on the opposite side kept waving battle flags and sending out semaphores.

It just meant a warning and a threat.

If they don't surrender, there will be consequences!

After a moment of stagnation, the spirited captain ordered the pirate ship to raise the white flag.

All the pirates followed the rules and entered the small sampan, waiting to be punished.

In fact, these bloody pirates have no fighting power at all.

This group of pirates was quickly taken to an isolated island by Chen Xuan.

After beheading the captain and first mate in public.

Chen Xuan took out the sweet potato model prepared by Su Ran, and the translator was at the ready.

"Do you know where this thing can be found?

I can spare you from death!"

Hear the meaning conveyed by the interpreter.

Several sailors stood up slowly, stumbling to express that they knew.

"very good."

Chen Xuan was overjoyed, put away the model, and said, "Come here, treat their injuries!"

The injured Dutch pirates soon took Chen Xuan to the island where they stocked up.

The islands are stocked with their plundered goods, as well as plundered women.

Seeing the miserable condition of those women who were robbed.

Chen Xuan was furious and killed all the pirates on the island.

Then led by the prisoners.

He dug out hundreds of kilograms of sweet potatoes from the only wild land near the island!

Looking at the pile of red sweet potatoes, Chen Xuan almost burst into tears.

The wealth of Lao Chen's family was finally settled.

You should think about it.

After all, these pirates can do nothing but plunder.

Providing food for hundreds of people is no small problem.

Therefore, they will go to great lengths to bring sweet potatoes from their own country to grow.

Just wait to return to the island and unload the goods.

Digging a few sweet potatoes from the ground will fill your stomach.

And to my surprise, in addition to sweet potatoes, there are also potatoes!

Chen Xuan loaded all these crops onto the boat without saying a word.

"Tell Jin Yiwei immediately that Feiying sent a letter to Su Jijiu of the Royal Academy!"

While Chen Xuan was busy sending a letter to Su Ran.

Su Ran was furious with Lao Zhu in the academy.

Because of the subjects of the military academy, the two of them got into an argument.

Lao Zhu was seriously dissatisfied with the military reforms proposed by Su Ran.

Because in his cognition.

The more ignorant and illiterate a soldier is, the braver he becomes.

For military generals, they have to study at the Royal Academy.

Considered to be a serious waste of resources.

But Su Ran doesn't think so.

Nowadays, various types of firearms in the Ming Dynasty are changing with each passing day.

It can completely replace cold weapons.

Form an army with all firearms. Such an army can abandon the original positional warfare.

.....................

War can be turned into a large and meticulous project.

"...No, I don't agree with your reforms!"

Lao Zhu slapped the table hard and said angrily: "To defend the way of a general, stay in battle bravely!

If you implement subjects in this way,

How will the army maintain its combat effectiveness in the future?

Besides, do you know how many troops there are in the country now?

You want them all to be able to read and write? How much effort does this require? Have you never thought about it?"

"...Uncle, this is your standard old thinking.

Su Ran said without any sign of weakness: "The army in the future must be professional and elite.

The war mode will also change accordingly!

No longer does the general hold up his knife and shout, and the soldiers follow and charge into the battle.

Besides, you have also seen the power of firearms,

No matter how many people rush over,

A blast of firearms would leave nothing behind.

The large-scale charging mode with huge crowds of people has been completely eliminated. "

"R..."

Zhu Yuanzhang held it in for a long time and was speechless.

It's not easy to recruit the Jin Yiwei to arrest him and send him to prison.

He pulled out the rhinoceros leash angrily.

Chasing him was just a slap in the face.

At this moment, the academy's picket rushed over with a letter in his arms.

Seeing the furious Zhu Yuanzhang chasing Su Ran,

He quickly stood aside and didn't look at anything inappropriate.

Until Zhu Yuanzhang chased and killed

After he couldn't run two laps, he pointed at Su Ran and said angrily: "I don't care what you do? I have to find something suitable today no matter what!"

"Pause, pause, your Majesty."

When Su Ran saw the pickets on the side, he quickly said: "An urgent secret message has been sent.

"Humph!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted heavily.

After shaking his clothes, he said with lingering hesitation: "Come with me!"

Su Ran followed Lao Zhu with the letter harrier in her arms.

He hurried to the observation room of the Military Academy.

After untying the note tied to Xinyao's leg, the densely packed numbers on it were revealed.

Su Ran immediately took out a Yin Talisman book and began to check the words one by one.

After checking the text, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Su Ran jumping three feet high on the spot.

Then he smashed the table with his fist.

"What are you doing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and scolded: "After all, it's the academy offering wine.

Jumping around like a monkey. "

But unexpectedly, Su Ran rushed over, picked up Zhu Yuanzhang and spun him around several times.

"Okay, okay you!" Zhu Yuanzhang was almost dumbfounded.

He quickly signaled to several Jinyi guards to put down their crossbows and knives.

If it were not for confirming the relationship between Su Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang.

This group of Jin Yiwei will definitely shoot him into a hornet's nest immediately.

Lao Zhu slapped Su Ran on the forehead to wake him up.

Then he scolded and said: "What happened?

Miaoqing gave birth to a son for you, what do you think?"

Su Ran first drove out the eunuchs and Jin Yiwei.

Carefully unfold the note in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Defeat Dutch pirates overseas and discover sweet potatoes as well as potatoes.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked: "What are these sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

Does it make you happy like this?"

"Uncle, this is a great thing!"

Su Ran excitedly unfolded the note and said to him: "I heard it from the elders of the sect before.

Both sweet potatoes and potatoes are valuable crops in the land of Passion!

Among them, sweet potatoes and potatoes have extremely high yields per mu.

One acre of land can produce about twenty dan!"

With a buzz, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely confused.

One acre of land can produce twenty dan...

One load weighs one hundred and fifty kilograms "The ten places are... 013404319 Feilu 123401131]

Lao Zhu clapped his fingers blankly.

It took him a long while to calm down.

He asked in disbelief: "Can you confirm? This acre of land can produce so much?"

"Anyway, this is what our master records."

Su Ran said: "At the beginning, there were elders from my school who wanted to bring them back for planting.

Who would have thought that something unexpected would happen along the way?

Information can only be passed on.

Chen Xuan has now confirmed that in addition to robbery, those Dutch pirates usually

I spend most of my time on an isolated island overseas, and rely on this to satisfy my hunger. "

Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if he had a toothache.

After pacing back and forth for a few steps, he immediately called the eunuch to deliver the message: "Immediately order the navy to dispatch, and we must allow Chen Xuan to return smoothly!

We want to see these sweet potatoes and potatoes with our own eyes!”

Thinking of the scene just now, Lao Zhu became angry again.

He turned around and hit Su Ran hard on the head several times.

He ordered several Jin Yiwei who were holding back their laughter: "What happened just now?

No one is allowed to tell!

Otherwise, we will cut his tongue!"

After that, he flicked his sleeves and strode out to the factory. .
