Daming pirates

But Yu Xiaotian was not happy for long. Just three days later, the boiler of the steam engine exploded during operation, killing a boiler worker on the spot and injuring several skilled workers. This made many people

This terrifying machine created fear. [Top] [Point] Novel

However, Yu Xiaotian disagreed and still decreed to continue to improve and develop this kind of machine. It didn't matter how much money was spent, as long as the machine was improved to be safer and have greater output power.

And in the following more than a year, Yu Xiaotian personally visited the Shunde State-owned Machinery Factory many times and personally led technicians and some technicians, including experts from the newly established Mechanical Research Division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to continuously make various improvements to the steam engine.

, keep experimenting.

Early steam engines often had accidents, so they kept looking for the reasons and improving them. However, due to design, material or processing problems, the original steam engine had a simple and rough structure, a high failure rate, and low output power. Yu Xiaotian was also present in person.

, along with the technical staff, he put forward many impressive improvement suggestions and tried his best to make improvements.

After more than a year, a total of more than ten experimental steam engines were manufactured. Finally, in the summer of the eighth year of Chengtian, a formal mass-produced steam engine was finally finalized, and the test was successful, and it lasted for one month of continuous trial operation.

, which allowed this kind of steam engine to be successfully finalized, and was ordered by Yu Xiaotian to be put into mass production and used as a driving force for the mechanical production of various machinery factories and arsenals.

In this way, the machinery industry of China and North Korea was completely freed from the shackles of relying on water power or sharp edges to power factories. This caused many places to rely on water power when there was not enough water to power factories.

With the steam engine, it can provide a steady stream of power output for factories, greatly advancing the process of industrialization.

History says that starting from this year, China and North Korea completely entered the age of steam engines.

At the end of the eighth year of Chengtian, a large fleet assembled again in Hong Kong. This time, the fleet assembled a total of nearly a hundred large sea-going ships, including huge Galen ships and elegant clipper ships.

, the ship was loaded with a large amount of food and fresh water, as well as more than 20,000 sailors and sailors.

Emperor Chengtian Yu Xiaotian traveled thousands of miles and arrived in Hong Kong in person to attend the expedition ceremony. This fleet was a standard ocean-going fleet, and its destination was not Malacca. Their mission was to cross the entire Pacific Ocean

, to New Spain in North America

That is, Mexico in later generations went there to conquer, completely drove away the Spanish forces that had been entrenched there for decades, and occupied the local silver mines. Of course, the territory of the United States in later generations had already been assigned to Yu Xiaotian in advance.

Arrived in the territory of Dazhong.

The commander of the fleet this time is Luo Xianbin, his brother who started his career with him back then. Now Luo Xianbin has become the deputy commander of the South China Sea Fleet and was appointed by Yu Xiaotian to become the commander-in-chief of this expeditionary force.

What makes everyone in the fleet even more proud is that two people are also going out with the fleet this time. They are the eldest prince Yu Zhenshan, who is now the emperor's subordinate. This time, he is officially the commander-in-chief of the landing force and the deputy commander of the fleet.

Commander-in-Chief.

The other one is Yu Zhenyang, the second prince of the Holy Emperor, but his position is relatively low. He is only the deputy captain of a main battleship, and his status is much lower than that of the eldest prince Yu Zhenshan.

However, the second prince has a serious background in the navy. He is a graduate of the twelfth class of the Naval Academy. He has served in the navy for five years and was promoted from the initial position of gunner to the current deputy captain. However, everyone knows that

After returning this time, the second prince is expected to be promoted to captain of the detachment without any problem. If he performs meritorious service this time, he may even be promoted to the position of deputy commander of the fleet.

The emperor sent the two princes together to join the expeditionary force, which shows that Xiaotian attaches great importance to this expedition, and this time they have done enough preparations, thinking of everything they can think of.

Whether they can successfully conquer New Spain next depends on the performance of Luo Xianbin and the eldest prince Yu Zhenhua.

Yu Zhenhua followed Meng Fei to participate in the Conquest of Japan a few years ago. At first, no one knew his identity. He was just the captain of an ordinary company. However, during the two-year Conquest of Japan, Yu Zhenhua's military exploits

Hehe, at the end of the war, he was promoted to the rank of major and became deputy brigade commander.

After the fall of Japan, Yu Zhenhua was appointed as the deputy governor of Donghai Province. He stayed in Donghai Province for more than a year before returning to the country, and his identity was made public.

To everyone's surprise, they found out that he was actually the eldest prince, and he actually led the troops to participate in such a battle in person, and gained extremely high military exploits in the battle. In two years, he was injured three times, and nearly once.

Death.

The Chinese in the country immediately respected Xiaotian even more. As an emperor, he was actually willing to send the prince to the most dangerous battlefield, personally lead the troops in battle, and go through life and death. So who can say that he is not?

The reputations of Yu Xiaotian and Yu Zhenhua at this time were rising rapidly in the Dazhong Dynasty, and their reputation was so high that it can be said to have reached an unprecedented level.

But this time when Yu Zhenhua learned that an expeditionary force would be sent to North America, he still asked for orders to go out. Yu Xiaotian nodded and agreed, and was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force and commander-in-chief of the landing operations.

For such an appointment, it can be said that it was well received by everyone, and no one raised any objection at all. It also allowed Yu Zhenhua to finally stand at the forefront of this great China and North Korea through his own efforts.

Later generations commented on this expedition and said that Yu Zhenhua played a vital role in this expedition. After the fleet arrived in New Spain, he led the landing force and fought beautifully. The Spanish army and colonial army were under his leadership.

In front of the Great Chinese Army, it collapsed quickly like a crumbling force. In the end, the Great Central Army successfully won the victory, forcing the Spaniards to finally choose to surrender and completely withdraw from New Spain.

Then in the next few years, Yu Zhenhua returned to China, and the second prince Yu Zhenshan served as the newly established governor of North America. Under his leadership, the entire North America area was basically brought under the control of Greater China.

's banner.

In the ninth year of Chengtian, Yu Xiaotian issued an edict to rename Australia the province of Tai'ao, officially announcing to the world the sovereignty of China and Australia over Australia, and prohibiting anyone from coveting Australian territory.

The Spanish were unwilling to fail. During their ten years in Chengtian, in addition to mobilizing a large number of ships and troops in an attempt to counterattack, they also gave up their previous policy of hostility to the Dutch, persuaded the King of the Netherlands, won the support of the Dutch, and even returned the favor.

They persuaded the British, who were hostile to them, to join the fight against China and North Korea.

The Spanish, Dutch, British, and even the French joined forces to form a huge expedition fleet to expedition to North America, trying to recapture New Spain and all of North America. The Spanish promised that if they regained control of North America,

The interests can be shared equally with these countries.

So the European Joint Expeditionary Fleet immediately sailed to North America, and on the sea and land there, it also launched a fierce war with the Chinese and Chinese naval forces stationed there, which was known in history as the Battle of North America.

Emperor Chengtian learned the news and immediately mobilized more naval and land forces, rushed to the North American battlefield, and joined the battle with the European coalition forces.

In North America, after nearly three years of fierce naval and land battles between the Chinese Army and the European Allied Forces, the European Joint Expeditionary Fleet ultimately failed. The land forces that landed were almost completely annihilated by the Chinese Army.

This time the Spaniard's last

In the war, they almost lost their entire national destiny, because they lost most of their warships, and they were completely depressed from then on, with no possibility of recovery. After the defeat, civil strife also broke out in Spain on the European mainland.

, became torn apart.

As for the other participating countries, they also suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw to Europe. The naval power of the entire Europe suffered huge losses after this battle and could not recover for a long time.

Later, the Europeans refused to admit defeat easily, and continued to send many privateers to attack the warships and merchant ships of China, China and North Korea on the routes where the Chinese and North Korean fleets often moved. The two sides launched a war that lasted for several years.

battle at sea.

The navy of the Chinese Army dispatched a large number of high-speed clipper ships on the main routes as a counterattack force to specifically deal with those European pirate ships operating on their routes. In the end, because of the huge advantages of the high-speed clipper ships of the navy of the People's Republic of China, they completely

They defeated the privateers sent by various European countries, sank, damaged and captured a large number of enemy ships and sailors, forcing them to finally order the withdrawal of these privateers to reduce the losses of their personnel and ships.

In the twelfth year of Chengtian, the Great Central and North American Expeditionary Force captured Peru controlled by the Spanish, and then captured Santiago, which was later known as Chile. At this time, Great China and North Korea had become the largest colonial country in the world, with real

Known as the Empire on which the sun never sets, its colonies spread all over the world, on almost all continents except Europe.

In the fifteenth year of Chengtian's reign, Dazhong troops entered India, placing India under the jurisdiction of Dazhong, and completely controlled all commercial trade leading to Europe.

In the winter of the 15th year of Chengtian, under the powerful force of the Chinese army, the Dutch East India Company announced its surrender to China and North Korea, handed over Sumatra Island and the Strait of Malacca to China and North Korea, and withdrew from Southeast Asia.

Announced the end of Dutch colonial rule in Southeast Asia.
