***************************************************************************

Half a month later, that is, one day at the beginning of April 1648 in the Shenzhou calendar, Ding Kui, the governor of Liangguang, received a letter from Yue Xiaofei.

The content is simple and there are no kind words. He was only asked to use the Ming army troops on the appointed date, to seal the city wall tightly, and to guarantee that the Portuguese in Macau would not escape inland across the wall. The Shenzhou Navy will launch an artillery attack on Macao on the appointed date, and after achieving complete overwhelming firepower, a Marine regiment will carry out a landing operation to seize the beach.

After the completion of the battle, the area within the city walls will become the land of the Shenzhou Free State, and Ding Chukui will be provided with 800 muskets as a token of gratitude.

Ding Chukui was slightly dissatisfied with this matter.

Of course, he didn't hurt the dignity and face of the governor of Liangguang because Yue Xiaofei wrote him a letter and asked him to do such a big thing. Now who in the whole world has a bigger face than the protectors of the Shenzhou Free State, one by one! For one of his officers, he killed more than a thousand ministers in the court.

It was not because of the attack of the Shenzhou Army that he cut off Macao's financial route to pay him personal tribute every year. Now almost everyone understands a principle of doing things, you had better not block the financial road that the Shenzhou Free State sees, otherwise there will be good fruits to eat.

In fact, Ding Chukui was just because Yue Xiaofei gave him a little less musket.

This stuff is good! With this thing, the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Eight Cavalry is a fart, and no matter how powerful it is, it can't stop the musket fire. But this musket now belongs to the kind of extremely rare and scarce items, take out real money and beg grandpa to tell grandma, people just won't sell it to you. If you want to buy it, you need to build 10,000 spear-type crossbows for every 100 branches, and even so, there are all kinds of "immortals" who continue to send silver materials to Mingyue Bay, China.

Fortunately, the supply of the Flying Crossbow and the old-fashioned samurai amphibious chariot was open. This thing can't be cut with a knife, and the gun can't pierce through, although it's slow, but you just can't take it. So much so that among the various local forces of the Longwu Dynasty, you don't have a hundred and eighty chariots, and no one is looking at you.

Therefore, all the forces do their best to pour everything they have, in order to buy more, if the number is not enough in this group of heroes rising together and fighting each other, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand half a year, and the territory will be lost in the blink of an eye.

And now that Yue Xiaofei said in the letter that he wants two sites in Macau and Tuen Mun, Ding Chukui naturally doesn't care about giving it to him. Two small projectile places, the emperor's cloth brothers want it, just give it to him! Whatever is also between his brothers, what do I do?

It's just that the number of muskets can be added a little, and it would be better! Of course, Ding Chukui is not stupid, and he will not bargain directly with Yue Xiaofei, the leader of the "seller's market", only after finishing his work and making friends.

After receiving Ding Chukui's reply, on April 4, 1648, the Huofeng-class cruiser approached Macao.

Huofeng-class cruiser: 60 meters long, equipped with three parallel 100 horsepower gas propulsion systems, a collapsible mainmast, a top speed of 15 knots, and an average speed of about 10 knots when cruising. The full load displacement is about 250 tons (catamarans have a smaller displacement).

Armament: 15 1648 Dart 150 mm naval cannons with a range of 2500 ~ 3000 meters, 20 improved 1647 Thor-J with a range of 100 mm cannons of 1800 ~ 2200 meters, 4 1648 Steel Rain-H 100 mm rocket launchers with a range of 1200 meters. 40 1648 raindrop 60mm guns with a range of 800 meters. There are two in each group of three groups, which are completely mechanically driven, known as 1648-style repeating ballistae, with a maximum range of 350 meters. As for the armor, it has already been described in detail above, and it will not be mentioned here.

Without the unobstructed sail system, its top deck was also much more spacious than that of the Gale-class destroyers, with 40 1648 Raindrop 60mm guns on either side and four 1648 Steelrain-H100mm rocket launchers mounted on the ship's central axis, all of which could be raised or sunk below deck like the cockpit, and would only be raised to deck under hydraulic drive if needed.

On top of a large mast in the middle is a lifting platform for a lookout post equipped with a searchlight and a long-distance telescope. There are also two bays for the reconnaissance balloons in the bow and stern, and now is the time for them to take off. For their safety, the tethered cords are made of a mixture of fiberglass and raw silk.

Beneath the belly of the ship are five Barracuda-class dinghys used for lifesaving and other missions, and they are no longer the fastest ships, much worse than the top speed of the Fire Phoenix-class cruisers.

The hot air that the "hot air balloon" initially lifted off comes from the heating of the air by carbon monoxide gas, and the replenishment of the hot air after liftoff comes from the calcium carbide and the cylinder of compressed gas carried by itself, and the defect is that due to the limitation of the load, the empty time is short, and if it is used to correct the shooting of naval guns, two balloons are needed to work in turn, so the efficiency of the work is low.

The Huofeng-class cruisers were followed by the modified "Whale-class amphibious assault ships", which were relatively simple, removing the sail system and human drive system, and adding steam engines, modular pulverized coal bunkers, balloon tanks, increased freshwater tanks and charcoal pellet production facilities. If a task force was formed as Yue Xiaofei had expected, then as long as it sailed to a place where there were trees, the 30 "whale-class" ships attached to the Marine Division would be able to provide enough fuel for the cruisers.

Their own pulverized coal can be transported regularly by supply fleets, and warehouses can be set up in naval bases, so that a single task force can control a sizable area of the sea.

The weapons of the "Whale-class amphibious assault ships" have also been upgraded, with the 100 mm gun replaced with an improved 1647 Thor-J, and the "Enlarged Flying God Crossbow" replacing the grenade launcher with a 1648 raindrop 60 mm gun. The rocket launcher was also replaced with the 1648 Steel Rain-H 100 mm rocket launcher.

This time, it was Huang Kehui, whom Yue Xiaofei had great expectations for, who led the cruiser fleet and several "whale-class amphibious assault ships" that had been refitted to attack Macao.

If the fleet he led this time did not include the "whale-class amphibious assault ships," the firepower of only 15 cruisers alone reached 225 150-mm guns, 300 100-mm guns, 60 rocket launchers, and 600 60-mm guns.

They were opposed to hundreds of large-caliber bronze cannons from several forts in Macau, as well as trained Portuguese gunners. And Huang Kehui, who has been training for a while, has made a simple and straightforward plan.

Since it is one of the operational objectives, there is one article to test the bearing capacity of the armor of the "Huofeng-class cruiser" and the density of firepower, indicating that the purpose of the test is included in this operation. And Commander Yue, who followed behind on the modified Mingyue, naturally wanted to see what kind of combat value such a fleet had built with a huge amount of money and a fleet commander who had taken so many tests.

For this reason, Huang Kehui plans to put on a good show for everyone.
