It's the end of the year again, although it is said that everything is sluggish, but it is also the budding spring. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Due to a heavy rain for nearly half a month last year, the red wall of Kunning Palace was really wet, and by this time, there were creepers slowly climbing the pepper room.

The sunlight poured into the lattice window, and the luster of a green leaf of the creeper woke up Zhu Youxiao, who was embracing the delicate baby like a fat and beautiful jade.

Zhu Youxiao opened his sleepy eyes, and his palms moved away from the pair of soft peach peaks, and he was still a little nervous somewhere, but when he thought of going to the preparatory meeting of Beijing Normal University today, he also suppressed the evil thoughts in his heart.

"Change!"

The woman who was sleeping in the dormitory was an ordinary palace maid in Kunning Palace, her name was Luoqiu, and it was also an accident that Zhu Youxiao picked her fragrance.

I came to Kunning Palace to see Queen Zhang Yan and take a look at the unique Hai Lanzhu by the way, but who knew that Hai Lanzhu didn't meet her, but met this palace maid.

Although Zhu Youxiao said that as the emperor, the Qunfang in the harem can be picked at will, but he is not absurd that everyone has to roll the sheets once, and even in order to save the palace expenses and take into account the future life of these palace maids, he also handed over the younger palace maids to the inner palace supervisor to send them back to their original parents' homes according to the principle of voluntariness.

Even in the ninth year of the Apocalypse, 1,500 young Gong Ed'e were released, and they even wrote a special book in the newspaper for this purpose.

The reason why the slightly older Gong E, who is over twenty years old, is not allowed to let go of the slightly older Gong E, because of the customs of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of woman is already an older leftover woman, and even if she is sent home, she will not be happy, the best result is to be lonely to death, and the worst result is to become a secret prostitute.

Therefore, in order to let these "older leftover women of the Ming Dynasty" who should still be still young still live a stable life and not be disturbed by the disdainful eyes of the outside, Zhu Youxiao did not force them to go out of the palace to find a way out.

In fact, these "older leftover women of the Ming Dynasty" also volunteered to stay in the palace when they consulted them, and they may also die of old age in the palace, but at least life is peaceful, and there are many companions who can even play and eat.

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that many eunuchs in the palace were playing with food, but he didn't rectify it strictly, or even turn a blind eye, whether it was a eunuch or a palace maid, they also had emotional needs, if they were too strict, they would force them to deal with themselves, which Zhu Youxiao didn't want to see.

Existence is reasonable, this is also a helpless thing, Zhu Youxiao even asked Empress Zhang Yan to issue a decree to allow the eunuch and the palace maid to make friends as sisters and brothers (in fact, it is also an admission to the opposite food) but not to have more friends, once it is found that the eunuch or the palace maid is closely concerned with more than two other people, they will be directly executed!

This was to prevent internal factions and thus a threat to the emperor, so they had to tighten the cage of internal rebellion while allowing them to vent their emotions.

Gossip is little, this name is only twenty years, but also eyebrows and eyes, but the appearance is relatively petite, cute and well-behaved, in modern times is a national girl type, because Zhu Youxiao accidentally broke the teacup when pouring tea, and in a hurry also cut the thumb, Zhu Youxiao conditionally put her bloody thumb into the mouth and sucked for a while, this sucking felt that the thumb was warm, and the person was also gentle and amiable, so he couldn't help but put his hand on his face.

This basket was also dodging, answering shyly, and was stripped naked by Zhu Youxiao after a while.

As a result, another harem woman fell into the clutches of Zhu Youxiao.

She was just one of the most ordinary women, and by chance she became a close friend of His Majesty the Emperor, and she knew that sooner or later she would be like this, and even in a way she was happy about it.

However, she couldn't tell what it felt like to experience this kind of personnel for the first time, and now that she has woken up, there is no need to be nostalgic anymore, she still serves Zhu Youxiao gently, and waits for Zhu Youxiao to change clothes.

"Where are you from, and what is your name?"

That's the case, Zhu Youxiao is now like he went to the red light district and fell once, he doesn't even know what the name of the palace maid who accompanies him is, even he can't help but feel funny, and he is a little difficult to blame himself.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid is from Wuzhou, surnamed Su, there is no name, the guest mother asked the queen to give me a name called Luoji, and the daughter of the slave Yao family."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, he didn't expect this person to be a woman from the Yao family, but he felt that this person was also quite sincere, because the difference between Han and Yi would affect the treatment of the palace maids who were promoted to concubines, and he proposed it first, which seemed to be generous.

"You can keep this Nine Dragon Jade, and I will reward you, if there is something in the future, you can come directly to see me with this thing", Zhu Youxiao patted Luo Zheng's shoulder as he spoke, and then took Wang Chengen out and said: "Send a decree to Liu Ruoyu, let Dongchang find this Yao family named Su Luoyu, and reward his family with three thousand silver dollars and one hundred pieces of silk, and at the same time, he himself also gave five hundred silver dollars and ten pieces of silk, and he was promoted to promise." ”

"The old slave understands", Wang Chengen responded.

"Let's go, drive to Taiye Pool, how did Li Mingrui of the Ministry of Rites build the Jingshi University I conceived, I will also see, I gave him a year, and I spent a lot of money."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "How is the negotiation on Zheng Chenggong's side, Xiong Wencan can enter Beijing, and in addition, what is the situation of the envoy to the Ryukyu Kingdom, there is the latest news." ”

"Not yet, but according to Xu Xianchun, Nanjing's Jinyiwei brought back news that it seems that fishermen who went out to the sea to fish came back and said that a large number of pirate ships were found passing by in the area of the chicken coop, covering the sky and the sun, as if there was a big war to be fought, but it may be a rumor, and it is not known."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Tell Xu Xianchun, be sure to pay attention to the rumors of these fishermen, regardless of whether they are true or not, you must find out!" ”

……

When Zhu Youxiao, who was in the capital, began to suspect that Zheng Zhilong and other pirates really dared to attack the First Fleet of the North Sea and cargo ships of the imperial court, in the waters near the Ryukyu Kingdom, the fierce battle between the First Fleet of the North Sea and Zheng Zhihu and other pirates had entered a white heat.

Zheng Zhihu didn't expect that his flagship would be hit in the back of his buttocks, and the cannonball was so powerful that it really scared him.

And, at the same time, he discovered that there was indeed a strange ship behind his flagship, more like a soft galleon driven by the Europa, but larger than a soft sailing ship, and with two chimneys on the hull much thicker than the mast, and billowing black smoke.

Zheng Zhihu didn't expect that there would be such a warship in the imperial court, and anyone would have an instinctive fear of unfamiliar things, and Zheng Zhihu was no exception.

But fortunately, although this Zheng He is wrapped in iron armor, its size is not huge, and it does not even have his Zheng Zhihu's flagship, so Zheng Zhihu is also a little at ease, and there is no reason to be afraid of the obvious numerical advantage on his side.

However, Gu San Mazi also had a problem, although he had been a pirate and had experienced naval battles, but it was also the first time to control and command such a large and high-precision warship resting in the Ming Dynasty, so he was not very skilled, and miscalculated the range, causing Zheng He to be too close to Zheng Zhihu's pirate fleet, so that many shells did not hit Zheng Zhihu's fleet because the range was too long, but fell directly into the sea, except for the fish.

This made Gu San Mazi really depressed, so he had to order Zheng He to immediately retreat some distance.

Zheng Zhihu didn't know this reason, he saw that the iron-armored monster in front of him began to retreat and even retreated outside the range of conventional artillery, he couldn't help but order: "It seems that he wants to provoke us, let us press up, and rescue this side, tell Zheng San to catch up immediately, we continue to control the wind, and be sure to defeat the lucky boat here before sunset, and capture the official alive!" ”

Here, Gu San Mazi observed the wind direction for a while, and after determining the distance, he ordered: "Seize the upper hand, immediately bombard the left and right flanks of these pirates, and at the same time, other light boats take advantage of the Zheng He's bombardment, and immediately rush in with liquid explosives to disrupt them in a convenient and fast way!" ”

As soon as Gu San Mazi gave the order, Zheng He immediately turned around the ship, and all the guns on both sides were opened, and suddenly countless shells with black smoke tails roared towards Zheng Zhihu's fleet like cruise missiles.

The rumbling explosion was accompanied by the sound of the raging waves.

Several warships on Zheng Zhihu's side ignited a fire in an instant, and Zheng Zhihu almost fell to the ground due to the violent shaking, so angry that he couldn't wait to draw his sword and rush over to fight the people on the ironclad monster for three hundred rounds now!

At the same time, Zheng Zhihu was also very surprised, he didn't expect that the enemy's artillery would be so powerful and the range would be so far, so that he didn't force the wind position in time just now, and now he had to be beaten passively.

However, without waiting for Zheng Zhihu's order, his old pirates, who had rich combat experience and were unwilling to suffer such a loss, had already begun to fire shells to counterattack.

Countless iron bullets are constantly being thrown at the sea level of less than a few square kilometers like a goddess scattering flowers, but they can't reach Zheng He's half-point, there is no way that within this distance, Zheng He can send cannonballs directly to your deck, and you can let people see the performance of the waves.

At this time, the small boats of the North Sea Fleet also desperately rowed towards Zheng Zhihu's warship, and under the high-density firing of Zheng He's artillery, they were simply more slippery than loaches, and the whole slid directly into the area where Zheng Zhihu's warship could clearly see the face of the person.

"Watch out for these eagle boats and sand boats ahead, stop them!"

Zheng Zhihu also discovered these at this time, and began to get anxious, he was the history of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of speed, and he was even more impressed by the water battle of Poyang Lake, he naturally knew that these small boats that seemed to be less than one-third the size of the hull of a large ship were powerful.

However, although several small boats capsized on the sea due to pirate shells, many of them had already crashed directly into Zheng Zhihu's warship.

The so-called liquid bomb is just a chemical bomb with nitroglycerin as the main one, this chemical substance is a very dangerous chemical substance, it is easy to explode because of vibration, and he is also the precursor of TNT explosives, but the current Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to produce TNT this kind of high explosives.

But now with the help of the information provided by Zhu Youxiao, it can be made with some nitroglycerin, although it took a long time because of this, and even killed a few experimenters.

The yellowish liquid was thrown directly onto the board of these pirates' ships, and some of the pirates didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that these were just ordinary fire oils, and that these court people wanted to ignite the fire oil and burn the ships a little, so they still tried their best to prevent other small ships from approaching.

But unexpectedly, as soon as these yellow liquids fell on the ship's board, they exploded directly, and immediately countless flames burned up from a distance, emitting countless black smoke, obscuring the entire sea level into a dim and dim, and many pirates were directly killed or killed in the fire.

At this time, the Zheng He also continued to launch artillery bombardments, and because these Zheng pirates were experienced and skilled, they could quickly change the direction of the hull to avoid the gun position of the Zheng He, so that the Zheng He lost the advantage of the upper hand position and had to follow the direction of the transfer.

However, because this was the first actual combat of a steam-powered machine like Zheng He, whether it was the steam engine, the control equipment or the technical personnel, it was not smooth enough, so his reaction agility was not fully reflected.

Otherwise, the current Zheng He would not still have a few technical talents from the Daming Ship Administration, the purpose of which is to observe and record at any time to prepare for the improvement of the warship in the future.

"Turn around, seize the wind as fast as possible, and give me a hard beating!" Gu San Mazi scolded and roared, Zheng He kept changing direction like a compass floating on a compass, and continued to send cannonballs to Zheng Zhilong's fleet.

Due to the long range of the guns and the speed of the ships, the Zheng He still had the absolute advantage in naval warfare, and the ships of these Zheng pirates continued to be passively beaten.

Bang!

A large Fu ship of the Zheng pirates was hit by several bullets and exploded by dozens of nitroglycerin liquid explosives, and directly broke in half and sank directly to the bottom of the sea.

That was one of Zheng Zhihu's most trusted brothers, and also the most elite general of his Zheng pirates, named Shi Zhaoke, who was the eldest brother of the later general Shi Lang, who was praised to the sky.

Seeing that Shi Zhaoke's limbs were blown up, and only one head was still flying in the sky, Zheng Zhihu was so angry that his eyes were split.

He was completely angry now, he didn't expect that he would be in such a situation of being beaten, but this also aroused his ruthless heart, and he directly ordered: "Send the flag, let Zheng San rush up directly, rush towards that iron shell at all costs, and smash him!" ”

Here, Zheng Sanye, who was at the forefront, had few ships still surviving, and as soon as he got this order, he simply rushed towards Zheng He.

"Okay, this is definitely Zheng Zhihu's style, give Lao Tzu an order to go down, turn around, intersperse with the flanks, and be sure to defeat the battleship that is rushing at the front!"

After Gu San Mazi said, Zheng He did not stand still, but drew a graceful arc at the sea level at a rapid speed, flying towards the side of Zheng San.
