Chapter 196: Iron-Blooded Zhu Yousong (3)

The Ottoman warships' three-day attack did not work, but they lost 200 warships and nearly 10,000 soldiers, and at this time, the Ming army that got the order finally rushed back, Zhu Yousong let them rest for a day, and then all boarded the ship, and the fifty warships began to launch a counterattack against the opponent's nearly 300 warships. Zhu Yousong, who was angry, issued an order that not a single warship should be left for the other party, all warships would be sunk, all soldiers would not accept surrender, and if they dared to invade Fucheng, they had to have the consciousness of being killed.

Fifty Ming warships slowly sailed out in four formations, and Zhu Yousong sat on the last flagship, carefully avoiding the Ottoman shipwreck, and sailed towards the opponent's fleet. Seeing that Zhu Yousong finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the fleet began to attack, the commander of the fleet of the Ottoman Empire was overjoyed, he thought that if these warships had been defending near the port, his chances would be very small, and now that he dared to sail out of the port to fight, he must be angry, so he planned to use his fleet to surround Zhu Yousong's fleet with the advantage of numbers, and then attack inside, taking advantage of the situation to find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation to take the ship.

Will Zhu Yousong give them a chance to get close to the Denggang? He is not a fool, and naturally he will not fight according to the enemy's ideas. Sailing out of the port area, looking at the Ottoman fleet that had not yet come, Zhu Yousong formed a semicircular formation, and the bow of the ship rushed out, which is related to the fact that most of the guns of the Ming warships were arranged in front. Looking at the approaching Ottoman warships, Zhu Yousong ordered each ship to adjust the steam engine, and then at a distance of about half a mile, the cannon on the warship began to fire.

At a distance of half a mile, the flat-firing cannon was the most powerful and had a very high accuracy. The efficiency achieved is also the best. After a round of shooting, the Ottoman battleships in front of them were blown to pieces, these wooden battleships could not withstand the explosion of a shell at all, and after five rounds, the Ottoman encirclement became a big leaky scoop, in this piece of water, the Ottoman soldiers who fell into the water were like dumplings in a pot, and the machine guns and rifles on Zhu Yousong's fleet began to shoot like targets. In order to prevent them from getting close to the warships, the warships of Zhu Yousong's fleet were slowly moving forward, cleaning up little by little, first on the sides and then in the middle, and gradually squeezing the warships of the Ottoman Empire to the front.

When the commander of the Ottoman warships realized that they could not win at all, the flagship, which was in the rear, quietly reversed course before ordering the fleet to begin to retreat. After seeing the retreat signal, the warships of the Ottoman Empire immediately turned into a rout, because the artillery of Zhu Yousong's fleet was so powerful that almost a warship was destroyed in one shot, how terrible is this? Look at the comrades who fell into the water like hunted rabbits, powerless to fight back, plus the sharks scurrying around and chewing on the corpses, all the soldiers are frightened, run.

Is it that easy to run? Zhu Yousong had already pressurized the steam engine of the fleet, and now it was ready to start, and the Ottoman fleet that wanted to escape couldn't escape at all, so he had to watch the warships behind him being sunk one by one, and the soldiers were brutally drowned in the sea, and they were also bitten by sharks, and they couldn't even get the whole corpse.

The Ottoman fleet fled in front, and Zhu Yousong's fleet pursued behind, leaving behind the broken warships and mutilated corpses all the way, and the pursuit continued until the depths of the Gulf of Aden, and finally annihilated the Ottoman fleet, and even the fleet commander should not be captured, no matter how much ransom he paid, Zhu Yousong did not want to do anything, and ordered to leave a messenger ashore, and the rest were all executed.

After the annihilation of these invading Ottoman warships, Zhu Yousong felt that his manpower was still too small, so he let the cargo ships that transported spices back to Daming continue to immigrate here, and offered more favorable conditions, anyway, Zhu Youxiao did not tax him, all he needed was to transport spices back, and the immigrants Zhu Youxiao would also support, the territory here is now relatively large, there are barren sandy grasslands everywhere, camels are running around all over the ground, even shearing camel hair can feed a lot of people, and slowly Zhu Yousong actually migrated nearly 100,000 people here, And you can marry several wives here, so after a few decades, it will increase to more than 400,000 residents with Ming blood, completely stabilizing the situation here, this is a later story, Zhu Yousong didn't think about it so much now, he is still constantly opening up.

Besides, Zhu Changhao in the Yingtian Kingdom has now completed all the repairs of Yingtian City, and thousands of soldiers have been trained, and a large number of cloves have been continuously sent to the Ming Dynasty and Europe, earning a lot of gold and silver treasures, and living a very comfortable life, plus Chen Qingyun of the Daimyo Kingdom and his cooperation along the two river basins continue to develop westward, and gradually the ground is getting bigger and bigger, so let Huiwang Zhu Changrun and Guiwang Zhu Changying go to manage the place over there, but Huiwang Zhu Changrun is willing to go, but Guiwang Zhu Changying is unwilling to go, This guy is also an ambitious person, he saw Zhu Yousong mixed in Fucheng with a little greed, he heard the merchants who came and went said that there was a very large island in the sea in the south, so Zhu Changying himself was moved, he wanted to take the island.

Zhu Changying passed his thoughts to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao wanted Zhu Changying to occupy the island, but it was not a rich island, there were no special products on it, and there were no mineral resources, and after occupying there, he had to subsidize it from other places in the future, which was a bit more than worth the loss, Zhu Youxiao told Zhu Changying what he meant, and let him choose by himself, if he insisted on choosing there, he would also support it, but he would not invest unlimitedly.

Zhu Changying saw that Zhu Youxiao was not too supportive of his opinion, so he sent someone to conduct a careful investigation in that area, and the result was really similar to what Zhu Youxiao said, so he gave up. Then Zhu Changying put forward his own request to Zhu Youxiao, hoping to have his own territory soon, Zhu Youxiao told him that he had found a few places for him, let him come back and choose, and also brought him the map, pointed out a few places, let him choose by himself, these places are the Irian Island in the future, and now there is an expedition team from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank, and a large number of copper mines have been found there, so that Zhu Changying can give him a territory there in the past and let him establish a country there. Presumably, the copper ore resources there are enough for him to maintain his life there, and if he immigrates 50,000 or 60,000 people from the Liangguang area, he can live there, which is much stronger than the island he chose.

This island is the largest island in the Pacific Ocean and the second largest island in the world, the products here are much richer than the island that Zhu Changying wants, and it is close to the future Australia, where the expedition of the Chaoshan Bank has been discovered, and has been developed there, there are not many indigenous Maori, in the future it will become a world dominated by Chinese, and here can be used as a link to each other, plus now controlled Luzon, Medan, which will form a huge Chinese-speaking circle, In terms of the population of the Ming Dynasty now, it is as much as the population of the whole of Europe, and it is still possible to slowly migrate here, in later generations, China's population accounted for a quarter of the world, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, China's population has been close to 400 million, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement has reduced China's population by almost a quarter, and then in the early years of the Republic of China, there were wars everywhere, and the people were not able to make a living, until the end of World War II, China's population hovered around 400 million, and it was only after the founding of Taizu that China was completely stabilized, in a generationIn the 80s of the 20 th century, the population of China had to be carried out in a strict family planning policy, which artificially reduced the population growth, and if we extrapolated according to the fertility rate of the 60s and 70s, in the 21 st century, China's population could even account for one-third of the world's population, because the population growth of India can be compared. Now Zhu Youxiao began to prepare for the future, Australia is about the same size as China, and the conditions are similar, there should be no problem in replicating a new China here, perhaps with Chinese strong fertility, China's population can account for half of the world's total population in the future, this premise is that the Chinese must always maintain a strong pioneering spirit, and its development cannot be interrupted by other civilizations. To ensure that Chinese civilization is not interrupted by foreign forces, it is necessary to interrupt the normal development of other civilizations other than Chinese civilization, for example, Australia and India are the biggest driving forces for the development of England other than its own homeland, then it must first block its way, let it go around the corner, and take a straight road on its own. This island was named Guidao by Zhu Changying, and he made the country name with his own title.
