Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 206 Crushing!!!

Everything that the messenger will see, briefly recounts.

A dozen tall ships, which did not arrive at the port, but outside the port, stopped and began to fire.

The artillery roared, the people were frightened, scattered and fled, and there were countless trampled and injured.

However, the shells did not fall in the port of Suhang, because the ships were not too close to the shore.

On the tall ship, there were large sails hanging from them, and black skulls were printed on the canvas, which looked very scary.

And the power and range of that artillery seem to be much stronger than Daming’s Hongwu iron cannon.

The city department was urgently evacuating the people, and at the same time, the Daming water army near the port of Suhang had already rushed in this direction.

This generation of Daming water army itself is relatively numerous, one is that it was previously harassed by the Wu Kou, most of the water army is stationed in the southeast coast, and Suhang Port is also one of the few ports open to the outside world in the Daming Dynasty.

Here, it is even more important to protect the goal. Moreover, from here, you can enter the Yangtze River, and you can reach Yingtianfu by following the Yangtze River upstream, which is not only a distribution center for overseas trade, but also a military important place.

This is equivalent to a gateway into the Central Plains, so there are actually many Daming warships and water armies deployed around.

However, in the past, exercises were generally conducted outside the port of Suzhou and Hangzhou so as not to disturb the people, and sometimes the Daming Water Army would also send a fleet to escort commercial ships.

Because in the past few years, the southeast coastal area has been harassed by the Uighurs, although it is said that there are relatively few, but the Ugoku are still wreaking havoc on the sea.

Now, the Goryeo Empire suffers greatly. Sakuragi and Goryeo fought inseparably off the coast of the Goryeo Empire, while most of the Ugoku transformed into pirates and began to operate in a wider sea area.

No way, every year to pay tribute to Daming tens of millions of taels of silver, even if the silver mine is big, there will be a day of hollowing.

In order to prevent the scale from reaching tens of millions, it is necessary to rely on pirates to go out to sea and plunder.

Therefore, in recent years, Sakuragi has also given birth to some large pirate groups in 943, and it has also evolved into a respected profession on Sakuragi Island.

Pirate culture has taken root on Sakuragi Island.

The objects of their plunder were not only the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, but also some merchant ships of other empires.

There are all kinds of pirates in the vast sea area, not only the pirates transformed by the Sakuragi Kuko, but also the large pirate groups formed by the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youcheng who have been adrift at sea for many years, as well as the pirate groups privately formed by some high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Daming Dynasty.

These dignitaries have all participated in the reclamation of Sakuragi Island, and now, they are also participating in the reclamation of Qinzhou Mansion, and they have tasted a lot of sweetness, and the idea of making a windfall is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Going to sea for theft and entering the sea to be a good citizen has become an important means for these dignitaries to seize wealth.

Among them, the most representative is the pirate group of Princess Anqing.

The sea lanes were frequently harassed by pirates, and the Daming navy had to often send some ships to escort the pirates to deter them.

Above the court, the news brought back by the messenger is relatively limited, because now everyone has not made a fuss, what is going on with this Franc machine?

Why did it suddenly go to war against the Daming Dynasty!

In this concept, war is not a child’s play, and it must be famous before it will go to war, whether it is Daming or other empires.

The city department also urgently contacted the Daming water army on both sides of the Suzhou and Hangzhou ports, came to support, and then sent people back to report to the imperial court.

And the Suhangzhou port is far from Yingtianfu, and it will take three hours to arrive at the earliest, that is to say, now, when the imperial court has just received the news, the dozen or so Franc machines have arrived at the port for more than three hours.

Now it is not clear how the battle situation is, but Shangshu Shen of the military department blew his beard angrily, glared at him, and shouted loudly: “Little Buddha Langji also dares to move the soil on the head of the old man, Your Majesty!” Please fight! Let them have no return! ”

Many military generals have come out one after another.

“Your Majesty! The last will fight! ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang generally understood the situation, he was also slightly relieved.

There are only a dozen ships, and even if the firearms are powerful, there is nothing to fear.

In recent years, the Daming Dynasty has made full progress in the shipbuilding industry because of the opening of the land to the outside world.

Today’s warships are very combat-ready, not only with artillery, but also with swarm and sky-rocketing rocket artillery, most of which belong to medium-sized warships, wrapped in thick iron sheets, and have strong defensive power.

I haven’t encountered any opponents before!

The most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty still has a relatively large number of warships near the port of Suhang, and in a short period of time, two or three hundred warships will not be a problem at all.

As long as there is enough time to deploy, you can mobilize thousands of warships and fight the enemy to the death on the sea!

Even one person and one spit can sink those dozen warships to the bottom of the sea!

Here, after all, is its own main battlefield, its own base camp!

Franc Ji is really bold, sitting in a well and watching the sky, just a dozen warships dare to disturb Daming!

After stabilizing his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly ordered the scout to probe and report again.

At the same time, he ordered the military headquarters to mobilize the surrounding water troops and rush to the port of Suhang to see what this group of Franc machines wanted to do?!

Is it really an ambitious leopard guts?!

Although it is said that the combat effectiveness of the water army of the Daming Dynasty has not been very good at the beginning of the founding of the country, the Wu Kou in the coastal area cannot be eliminated, and the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youcheng floating on the sea cannot be eliminated.

However, with the development of the land reclamation operation over the years, Daming’s warships and weapons have made great progress, and the combat effectiveness of the Daming water army has been greatly improved.

The most important thing is that the Sakuragi Island is used as a whetstone, and the Daming water army enters and exits several times and goes to clear the wasteland.

As the leading army, the Daming Water Army has also played some experience in naval operations.

Although Zhu Rong was not very satisfied with the current situation of the Daming Water Army, the courtiers in the court were already relatively content.

Moreover, the Kingdom of the Celestial Empire itself has its own inexplicable self-confidence and confidence, and does not believe at all that the distant Buddha Langji can break through the defense line of Daming.

Now, it has been confirmed that the other party only has a dozen ships, which is not worrying at all, so the imperial court once again sent people to the port of Suhang to check, and the ministers in the court also talked about this sudden situation!

At present, the overall situation is unknown, and the situation of the battle at sea and how it has been carried out is unknown, and it is necessary to wait for the next batch of intelligence to be transmitted back.

“Franc Ji really eats the courage of an ambitious leopard, and actually dares to run to us to make trouble!”

“I heard that there is gold all over the place, Your Majesty has long wanted to fight over, if it were not for the discovery of Qinzhou, our Daming Dynasty has put all its energy on Qinzhou in recent years, and it really can’t be pulled, hum, it’s not good to kill the old nest of Franc Ji now.”

“Is their artillery really that powerful? The range and power are stronger than our Hongwu artillery?! ”

“I don’t know if it’s true or not, but the information brought back by the messenger soldiers must not be wrong!”

“Under the sky, there are actually people who have artillery that is even more powerful than us?!”

Xie Jin sneered and said, “My lords, although I have never been to Europe, and I have never been to those Francoji Empires in the area, I have also heard some merchants mention that there are frequent wars in that area.

Many empires, in order to protect themselves, have strong ships and guns, as well as firebolts similar to our Daming, it can be seen that their development in firearms is no less than ours! ”

As Xie Jin’s speech spoke, the whispering voices of the surrounding courtiers were much smaller, and even Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair couldn’t help but look towards Xie Jin.

Xie Jin continued: “Your Majesty, my lords, with the Hongwu rifle, I am afraid of chaos internally, attack the Northern Yuan externally, and achieve great combat achievements!”

It can be seen that firearms will play a decisive role in the battlefield of the future.

Yes, the subject impeached the military department, and did not want to make progress!

If His Royal Highness King Qi hadn’t sent people to develop divine weapons such as Hongwu rifles and sky-bombarding rocket launchers, then my Daming would have been far behind by other empires!

When they have enough warships and powerful enough firearms, they can pull our doors! ”

Although I don’t know much about many empires in Europe, as a celestial kingdom, it has its own sense of superiority and does not put other empires in its eyes at all.

Moreover, everyone has heard that those empires in Europe are generally relatively small, and none of them has a land area and population that can be compared with the Ming Dynasty.

And worthy of the Daming Dynasty as an opponent, it seems that there is only one Northern Yuan.

However, Xie Jin said that those small distant countries, Franc Machine, could pull the door of the Ming Dynasty!

Are you kidding?!

The Daming Dynasty and those little Buddha Lang machines are not in an equal magnitude at all.

Many ministers began to rebuke Xie for talking nonsense.

And Xie Xie said in a hearty voice: “Nothing is impossible!” The power of firearms, you adults have also seen, as long as firearms are strong enough, it can be better than less!

And I Daming, the country is vast, if you want the defense of the whole territory, how easy is it to talk about?!

Before, we only focused on the earth, building the Great Wall and trying to defend against foreign enemies!

And now, the long coastal line of my Daming Dynasty will become a breakthrough point for the enemy! A few years ago, we were still deeply harassed by the Wu Kou, and even the small island country could not deal with it, if it were not for His Royal Highness King Qi to build a tall and sturdy warship and take out such divine weapons as Hongwu rifles and sky-bombarding rocket artillery, presumably now, these Wu Kou would still dare to kill them ashore. ”

The ministers looked at each other, and if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the truth.

If it weren’t for the warships and firearms created by His Royal Highness King Qi, Wu Kou would still be an extremely headache for the imperial court.

Once these miscellaneous pieces went ashore to burn, kill, and plunder, they did all kinds of evil, and it was only a long time since the founding of the Daming Dynasty, and the cumulative casualties of the people had reached hundreds of thousands, which greatly slowed down the progress of the recovery of the Daming national strength.

Xie Jin continued: “If the military department urges the Divine Machinery Bureau, the Ordnance Bureau, and the War Bureau to create more powerful firearms as soon as possible, even in the face of foreign enemy invasion, what fear will I have?!”

Now, just a small Franc machine, sent by more than a dozen warships, dares to attack our Daming authority, relying on nothing more than strong ships and cannons.

Their artillery, one point stronger than ours, their courage will be one point stronger, and they will dare to come and try to pull our country!

Not once, not twice, not twice, when the artillery is more powerful, the ships are taller, who dares to assert that they will not make a comeback? ”

There was a bang above the court, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, his face was cloudy, and the ministers below were arguing.

Some people accuse Xie Jin, and some people think what he said makes sense.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also wondering, if thousands of warships came today, and the artillery equipped on them was more powerful than the Daming Hongwu iron cannon, then by this time, would they all have to enter Yingtianfu?

Xie Jin’s speech at the court today, coupled with the emergency incident in Suzhou and Hangzhou port, sounded an alarm bell for everyone!

At the same time, the warships of the Daming Dynasty had already rushed to the port of Suhang and surrounded the ships of the dozen or so Franc machines.
