The name of the Chinatown Assembly Hall is "All the Best", which represents the good wishes of the Chinese people.

It's not very big, it's not luxurious, it's a traditional Chinese structure, and even overseas, Chinese people can't forget their roots.

It was packed inside, and the Chinese businessmen, the Chinese with heads and faces, all came, and brought their children!

This was a meeting with the permission of the Spaniards, to meet the envoy of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and the Spaniards couldn't say anything, so the Chinese flocked to it, and they also packed big bags!

See Hong Xiguan and Hao Sizhong, Hong Xiguan specially stated: "Take away the gift, leave the name sticker!" ”

How can anyone who is an official not accept gifts?

Hong Xiguan smiled and said to everyone: "Don't come to harm your own officials, our southeast government has clean government regulations, and if a public official receives more than a lot of gifts, he will be stripped of his public office and investigated for criminal responsibility!" ”

There is such a thing, and people have no mouth to praise the virtue and politics of the southeast province.

Groups of people came in one after another, and they greeted each other in clusters, and according to the rules, the officials had to kneel, and Hong Xiguan declared that they were young and afraid that they would not be able to bear it, so everyone just bowed.

Everyone greeted each other warmly, making Hong Xiguan dizzy, and he couldn't remember how many people he saw and whose names he was.

After going back, he said to Hao Sizhong complacently: "Maybe I'm crazy, it seems that the Chinese people still have a lot of hope, and they still have their hearts set on their mother country, at least locally!" ”

Hao Sizhong shook his head and said, "Swallow back all the words behind crazy!" (Maybe I'm crazy)

Seeing Hong Xiguan glaring at him, Hao Sizhong said: "Our countrymen pay attention to worshiping when they see God, entering the temple to burn incense, and they will never suffer losses!" That's what those people are thinking! ”

Thinking about it, Hong Xiguan's emotions calmed down and said, "Anyway, I accepted other people's name stickers, and also left my own name stickers, okay!" ”

……

If it is said that everyone came to meet the envoy of the southeast government of the Ming Dynasty is a dragonfly, then the open day of the warship is an in-depth understanding.

Since it was expected that there would be an open day for warships on this trip, 5,000 exquisite tickets were specially printed and distributed free of charge before the voyage, and all of them were sold out when they were distributed a day earlier!

It is said that scalpers immediately appeared, and the tickets for free participation were inflated to one silver dollar per ticket, and they were still sold!

At the Krabi anchorage, the Kaohsiung No. 16 and Yasha No. 3 supply ships were moored, and the large gangplanks specially made by people went directly to the open deck, and then went down from the open deck to the gun deck, and the supply ships included the storage deck and bilge of the next floor were all let out, while the Kaohsiung No. 16 focused on the gun deck.

It was a beautiful day, and the two warships moored in turn in the dock area had been cleaned early, giving people a new feeling.

The officers and men on board were all tall and handsome, and they lined up to welcome the visitors.

The visitors first gathered and received a gift with a ticket at the entrance set up in the dock area: food for the warship (a hard biscuit, a piece of beef jerky or pork jerky, and three milk candy), a small umbrella with the image of the visiting warship, and a postcard about the southeast province (front) and the warship (back).

Board the ship from the gangway with railings on both sides, board the Kaohsiung 16th ship, the first thing you see is a series of three big display boards, the first one is a description of the ship, it is the Kaohsiung 16th ship, which is a six-class cruiser designed and built by the Southeast Prefecture itself, the chief designer is Barents and Yan Changwu, there is an introduction to its parameters, the focus is that it is equipped with 28 guns, including 6 18-pounder guns, 12 12-pounder guns, and 10 6-pounder guns;

The card on the right introduces the Tainan-class fifth-class sail cruiser, equipped with 38 guns, including 26 18-pounder guns and 12 12-pounder guns (equipment that joins the battle line, once cruised, there are 26 12-pounder guns and 12 6-pounder guns), the designer is still Barents and Yan Changwu, specially introduced by two people, and also drew the pattern of this cruiser.

The card in the middle is the largest, and it is surrounded all at once, and it introduces the Nanhai-class third-class battleship, which has a double gun deck and is armed with 70 guns, of which 26 are 24-pounderers, 26 are 18-pounderers, 6 are 12-pounderers, and 12 are 6-pounderers!

The chief designer was the Englishman Phineas Pate, who built it by the Southeastern Province itself!

The pattern of this battleship is particularly huge, and the muzzle of the gun is wide open, which attracts attention.

It is clearly written, four have already been commissioned, and it is planned to build twelve!

It can be said that people stood in front of the board and were deeply touched!

When, too, our country had such a powerful warship!

Giant ship heavy artillery, hasn't it always been the patent of those red-haired fans?

The large treasure ships of Spain were the Karak or Galen, which were tall and gunned, but compared to the battleships of the Southeastern Province, the battleships were real warships!

In Yan Dashao's words, he used a sixth-level cruiser to dare to pick a treasure ship with double the amount of guns, to ensure a high success rate------ the way is very simple, give full play to the characteristics of the cruiser's fast turn, attack the treasure ship at a 45-degree angle, the opponent's artillery can't hit you, but accept all the guns you call, so you can easily succeed.

It's a hundred sentences, but it's not as good as this pattern to look at!

There are many words that people remember: Southeast Mansion, Yan Changwu, battleship, cruiser, 24-pounder cannon, self-built......

The Spaniards did not expect the significance of this warship open day, and even Yan Changwu decided to open the warship without expecting a huge impact on the Chinese people in Manila!

In fact, there is nothing to visit about the gunboat, the deck is the mast and rigging, there are open-air deck guns, from one end, down to the gun deck, visit the 18-pounder guns and 12-pounder guns, and then from the other end to the open deck, and then return to the boarding ladder to leave the ship.

It's nothing, but the change in mind is really earth-shattering.

The Chinese in Manila were fed up with humiliation and numbness, but today they know that they have another choice!

……

Follow the set up path to find the second boarding ladder, from where you can board the Yaksha III supply ship, where the open deck is more spacious and on which twelve 12-pounder guns are placed.

There are also three brands, the same is large in the middle and small at both ends, and one on the right, showing the introduction of the Yaksha No. 3 supply ship, mainly used to supply supplies, and it is the same level as the Tainan-class fifth-class sail cruiser, which is different from the cruiser in that it does not have a gun deck and is used for material storage, but when it is urgent, it can also be converted into a gunboat!

The sign in the middle depicts Yan Changwu's large military appearance, he is sunny and handsome, and there are small characters next to him to introduce his glorious deeds.

At the age of fifteen, he officially became the leader of the Southeast Mansion!

At the age of sixteen, he defeated the Netherlands, captured Tainan, raised the flag, established the Southeast Military Government, and served as the military superintendent and the commander of the Southeast Fleet!

At the age of seventeen, defeat the Fujian Water Division!

At the age of eighteen, he took Taipei, entered the Wakai, fought with the Satsuma Domain, defeated the Satsuma Domain, consulted with the Edo Shogunate, and regained the lost territory for the Ryukyus!

In that year, he worshiped the Ming Dynasty's second-rank hussar general, the third-rank Taiwan guard commander, and the fourth-rank Fujian coastal defense guerrilla

At the age of nineteen, he defeated the invading Dutch fleet and was promoted to the rank of Sipin Guangdong coastal defense guerrilla

Twenty years old this year, it is a "? What kind of great deeds will he create?

All of a sudden, there was a sensation among the people, and the elders used this to educate their children to fight, and some people said that it would be good if they could marry their daughters to him!

……

The sign on the left introduces the Southeast Province and the Southeast Fleet, which has a population of 850,000, 10 towns, and an area of 10 million mu of cultivated land......

There is also the introduction of the Southeast Fleet, which currently has 8 third-class battleships, 12 fifth-class cruisers, and 40 sixth-class cruisers. (There are also small tips pasted to list the application conditions, as long as they are Ming and Han people who are in good health, and those who are less than 20 years old)

This line of small words has fascinated a lot of hearts!
