Chapter 1023: A New Era Is About to Begin!
It took 80 years of war for the Dutch to gain independence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe US imperialists of later generations also worked hard for decades to get the opportunity to become an independent country!
However, the barren land of the Netherlands did not provide them with a happy life after independence, and they had no livelihood except sailing.
Of course, this is not a reason to commit a crime, you can't rob just because your family is poor, right?
However, there is a good saying, if you kill someone, you are called a murderer. If you kill ten people, it's called a black xx club member rush. If you kill a hundred people, that's called an extremist xx organization.
If you kill a thousand people, that's called the opposition.
You're sorry to kill 10,000 people. You'll be a hero!
It is a crime to kill one person, to slaughter ten thousand people to be a hero, to slaughter a million people to be the male of the males, and to slaughter ten million people to be kings.
Slaughtering hundreds of millions of people in an instant means that ---you're jerking off!"
Embarrassment!
The Dutch were born robbers, and of course they were also born navigators.
The family is poor and cannot rely on farming to make money. With an impulsive heart flowing in their blood, they left behind the blooming tulips and the plump Dutch girls and crossed the Baltic Sea and the English Channel in huge ships or merchant ships.
On the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean, all the way south, in various places, with guns and swords to fight a bloody way. (How do you feel like it's similar to the Japanese stupid devils invading everywhere?) )
They fought with the French in Mozambique with artillery, and they fought with the Portuguese in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.
Then, return to Rotterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, laden with the treasures of the New World, to the unparalleled excitement and praise of shareholders and prostitutes.
Of course, this is the law of the jungle, and it is not right or wrong.
Just like humans do with other animals!
Even when they came to Daming, they looked down on the Han people, the Fusang people, the North Koreans, and Zheng Zhilong.
However, today, these are the people they originally looked down on, and they have been educated one by one.
What is called, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years later, let you drink the northwest wind.
Seeing that some extremists among the foreign devils also came out with a posture to kill, they saw the mountain, and seemed to want to be a dead soldier.
Zheng Zhilong was also extremely excited at this time, and shouted loudly, "In front of you are the hanging red-haired people, they have occupied our land, they have plundered our silver, they have snatched the woman who should have groaned silver under us, and now they still want to fight back, what should the big guy say?" ”
Immediately, while fighting a tailwind battle, the thousands of pirate soldiers under his command clenched their flintlock pistols in their hands and replied loudly. Kill them, kill them, kill them! ”
When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he laughed excitedly and shouted: "Okay, good, the whole army is coming down from the heights, ready to shoot in turns!" ”
"Shoot."
The soldiers of the Zheng family army held old Shandong muskets, even if they were not the latest products. But compared to the guns of the Dutch, not only did they reach a range of three hundred meters. In terms of shooting accuracy, it is also much better than the enemy.
It's simply the difference between a teenager and a child!
Not to mention anything else, just the Mini bullet, this point is stronger than I don't know how many streets.
The so-called mini bullet means that the diameter of the conical warhead is slightly smaller than the diameter of the breech, so it is convenient to reload.
Not only that, but there is a conical hole at the bottom of the warhead, and a wooden plug blocks the bottom of the hole, and when fired, the gas presses the wooden plug into the hole, forcing the bottom of the bullet to expand and fit snugly against the rifling.
At the same time, the gap between the warhead and the chamber of the gun is closed, so that the gas cannot leak out, and the warhead can rotate at high speed under rifling pressure.
The Mini bullet solves the problem that the front-loading rifled gun is difficult to reload, and the range accuracy of the smoothbore gun is too low, so that the attack distance of the rifle is almost the same as the attack distance of the general artillery.
It is a very revolutionary invention in the history of bullets!
Throughout Europe, until the Napoleonic era, the effective range of flintlock muskets was still only 100 yards at the farthest.
The range of grapeshot and howitzer shells fired by artillery surpassed it, so that artillery became the dominant weapon of its time.
In 1861, the smoothbore gun was replaced by a Migne-type rifle. The effective range of such a rifle is at least 500 yards. This has a much longer range than grapeshot and shrapnel shells, so tactics have changed dramatically.
Artillery was relegated to the back of the infantry and became a supportive weapon, rather than an offensive one.
Zhu Zilong was in the Ming Dynasty, more than 100 years ahead of Europe, and invented the Mini bomb. And he also assassinated a large number of people who could have brought about technological change on the European side (their fathers and grandfathers' generation). )
Although it may be that the Heavenly Dao will slightly revise the candidates for the appearance of these characters, it will undoubtedly make the level of scientific and technological development on the European side far lower than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, if nothing else, it is basically impossible to be super ambitious until death. (The Ming Dynasty will become the same existence as the American Emperor in later generations, oh no, it should be a higher level.) )
On the top of the mountain, Zheng Zhilong's soldiers, the condescending attack was fatal.
Every bullet that flew from the head could suppress the line of the Dutch attacking upwards.
They only climbed two or three hundred meters of mountain road, and the Dutch soldiers who rushed to the front fell only two or three hundred people, which was really a death of one meter and one person, and it was extremely tragic.
Even, the officers who led them to charge directly hit all the dozens of bullets on the spot.
The lieutenant colonel, the Dutchman officer, before he could even let out a single groan, turned into a corpse full of bullet holes, and fell backwards in a daze.
The Dutch soldiers, who had lost their leader, immediately felt as if they had been smashed with a hammer.
However, the soldiers on the hill did not stop firing, nor did they stop because their morale had plummeted.
The Dutch were constantly being hit by spinning mini bullets, which would spin through the thin flesh of their military uniforms. Stirring every inch of the organ in the body!
What made the Dutch even more desperate was that the soldiers of the Zheng family army on the opposite side were too explosive because of the gun technology in their hands.
Yagen didn't have to play the queue shooting tactic, so everyone found cover and put cold guns in the back.
On the other hand, smoothbore guns due to the lack of shooting accuracy. The soldiers could only stand in a row and move forward, and then shoot in unison. Win by quantity!
It's visually beautiful, but it's really fatal to die.
Now, at the beginning, the enemies on the opposite hill also played in line to shoot, but now they don't play that way. As the distance got closer, they hid and fired, and they didn't seem to be low on accuracy.
This made them very bitter, and the arquebus in their hands was still shooting hard, but even at a distance of eighty or ninety meters. Smoothbore gunners want to hit people hiding behind obstacles, which is basically a fantasy.
How can such a war be fought?
It's a complete bully, if you were like this from the beginning, we would have run away without many deaths, and now you are cheating!
The last bit of morale of the Dutch plummeted, and the vice-governor's hand holding the sword began to tremble for victory. They have completely lost their confidence!
Soon, the Dutch soldiers began to flee down the mountain in a panic.
It's just that the butt is backwards, and the middle door is wide open and there is no fire support, I have to say, this is more of a death act.
After suffering heavy losses and the death of one or two hundred soldiers, the remaining Dutch ran back to the city in shock.
This battle, from the beginning of the sneak attack on the Ming army, to the close battle between the two sides.
As a result of the two battles, the Ming side won all. The opponent is not even the Zhu family's army, it is just a mixed army of pirates who have not long turned regular!
can beat the battle-hardened Dutch to the bummer!
I have to say that a new era is about to begin!
