A population of more than 100,000 on Riyue Island, although the total tax this year has exceeded more than 12 million, which is more than half of the tax revenue next year, and wants to be the emperor on an equal footing with Zhu Youzhen, all because the Emperor of the Apocalypse came to the island for 50 days. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info King Daming wants to establish a country to get Zhu Youxiao to come to the island, perhaps it is for this consideration, but Zhu Cizhuo feels that he is a bit too much to call the king.

However, he did not hinder the enthusiasm of his subjects for the time being, and deduced that the new land had not yet been built in the capital, and the people had not yet established the country, and for the time being, he still established the country in the name of the vassal king, and after nine years, the capital was slightly different, and the number of people in Middle-earth exceeded one million before he was officially proclaimed emperor.

Now I have to negotiate with Daming, this kind of self-righteous and arrogant behavior will only be ridiculed, and there is no other benefit at all, just for the more than 150 million cash accumulation of the Sun Moon Island Treasury and the Baoku over the past few decades.

The Treasury Treasury has more than 150 million dollars, and this fund will be used for war consumption and the construction of Xinming, and the money and silver will soon be exhausted in the next few years, so human resources and foundation building are the top priorities in recent years.

The reason why Zhu Cizhuo was set for nine years was because after nine years, the number of Ming Dynasty was almost the same, and it was not impossible for the number of immigrants to reach one million while taking advantage of the civil unrest and war in the country, of course, five years later, the four-year fortune of the Ming Dynasty would have to be supported by the growing strength of Sun Moon Island.

Many people here carry the memories of the two generations, and the young lord Zheng Zhi and the two generations together also have dozens of years in the world, and a calm "show" makes these courtiers who also look young very useful. Of course, the subjects may think that Zhu Cizhuo has not yet married, and he has not made any great achievements in the eyes of the people, and it is obviously not in the interests of most people to succeed to the throne and become emperor, the key is because the two queens are of different races.

As the bloodline of the royal family is very important, so as to ensure that the royal inheritance can be based on the Han country for generations, these courtiers have seen more of the outside world with the same idea, and the bigger idea is naturally to seek the Central Plains homeland one day in the future.

Before the matter of Fengli was finalized, in the face of the possible coming war, the courtiers were all at ease, and their faces did not change, and none of them even turned their heads to look out of the cab window. Seeing that the major event had been decided, Lu Zhicai, the acting first assistant, persuaded: "Your Majesty, although the Western gunboats fly the national flag, they are mainly with merchant pirate ships in the South China Sea. Please take a break back to the island to avoid disturbing the Holy Driver! ”

The ministers also said in unison: "Please Your Majesty return to the island immediately in case of accidents!" ”

Only then did Zhu Cizhuo turn his head and look out, and saw that seven Dutch ships were already more than 20 kilometers away, leading more than ten armed merchant ships to come in two ways. The mortal immortals on the ship and the buffalo on the sea have disappeared, and the thirty army cannons on the deck are divided into two decks, and the artillery crews have entered the combat state, and outsiders can't see anyone running.

Zhu Cizhuo asked: "What actions did the Dutch make after retreating to ** Bay, and did they conduct commercial trade with Sun Moon Island during this time?" "The Netherlands and Spain retreated to Taiwan for only a month, and the agreement did not sever commercial and trade cooperation with the two countries, only requiring them to pay tariffs according to the trade volume like Sun Moon Island. At this time, Spain had occupied the Sultanate of Sulu for more than half a century, and the Netherlands was gradually replacing the suzerainty of Spain as a trading power, and the Netherlands was nominally the private fiefdom of the Spanish king.

Lu Zhi is the secretary of the ministry, and he just acted as the first assistant yesterday, and he has some understanding of the situation on Riyue Island in all aspects. In order to let Zhu Cizhuo understand more directly, he asked Lu Ji, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce, to give a brief report to everyone.

According to Lu Ji's report, everyone learned that in the past month, Spain has set up a commercial and foreign affairs department on Taiwan Island, and there are also merchant ships that carry out trade activities according to the system of the government of the island country, and the trade affairs with Riyue Island are also going on as always.

The Netherlands resisted relatively strongly during the war in the Taiwan Strait, and suffered heavy casualties after the war, and did not come to Riyue Island for trade in the past month, but there was no harassment of the ships trading in the ocean of Riyue Island.

Lu Ji finally said: "The Dutch have occupied Taiwan Island for more than ten years, and they have been driven away by our army once before. I happened to meet here today, and it is estimated that this is not good. This huge ship has no defensive artillery, and it is better for Your Majesty to avoid it. ”

At this time, Zhu Cizhuo had already sent a message to the mortals, instructing them to deflect the Mingwang to the right at the original speed of the giant ship, and try to avoid the disadvantage of being attacked by the Dutch gunboats. It's just that although the wind on the sea is not strong at this time, the speed of the Dutch gunboats is still about thirty-five knots, and the Mingwang will encounter danger whether it escapes or not.

Zhu Cizhuo estimated that too much speed increase may cause the deformation of the hull of the bulk carrier, and although it does not sink, it is impossible to judge whether it can be used in the future, which may cause huge losses to the shipping industry. This large cargo ship is equipped with advanced equipment, air conditioning, refrigerator, elevator, electric stove, telephone, CCTV stereo, DVD, wireless communication (intercom), medical equipment, modern bathroom. There are seven computers in the wheelhouse, the reporting room and the engine room on the ground floor, and there are also computer and communication monitoring system printing and copying office equipment, nautical charts and nautical equipment tools in the radar scanning and observation instrument reporting room. If this bulk carrier cannot be used, many equipment will not be able to be used and studied effectively, which will have a huge impact on the future development of the navigation industry of Riyue Island.

Officials are ignorant of the various equipment in the cab, and cannot cooperate with Zhu Cizhuo to learn to drive, let alone know that modern technology will rewrite the history of world civilization and industry. At this critical juncture, Zhu Cizhuo's whole person quickly became excited, and his mind turned quickly and with difficulty, he made the decision to double the speed.

The range of the ship's guns was far less than that of ordinary gunboat guns, and anti-personnel shotgun infantry and guns could not cause much damage to men and ships. The target of the giant ship is large and slow, and it is a live target for the powerful long-range artillery, and if it is beaten, it will have a counterattack and far force, and the speed to 36 knots may not cause much damage to the giant wheel.

Looking at the speedometer and turning on the amplification equipment, Zhu Cizhuo tried the sound and said: "Everyone has seen that this is not an ordinary giant ship, it is a congratulatory gift from Tianzun to the Ming Empire and this king, and it is the last glory of the Mayan civilization that fell in the New World of America." This is a large cargo ship with a super-modern technology, with a deadweight of 64,000 tons and unusually advanced equipment, and it is a treasure ship that cannot be exchanged for the wealth of the whole world. The name of this king is 'Ming Wang'. Now, except for the rest of the military governors, they went to the hall on the first floor to discuss the celebration, and the king wanted to try this big iron ship. ”

Because it is too advanced, the chefs can only bring their own stoves and use the warehouse on the ground floor as a room, and because it is too advanced, Zhu Cizhuo has to study and explore the use and maintenance of various equipment for bulk wheels. Of course, it is necessary for a group of scientific and technological workers to research and manufacture all kinds of machinery, in order to make bullets and artillery shells in the shortest possible time, and military science must catch up with civilian industrial technology.

Zhu Cizhuo finally picked up the sniper rifle, looked at the remaining thirty officers and asked, "Which of you would like to serve as the commander of this operation?" At this time, all the high-ranking generals have been received on the freighter, and with five buffalo flying cars to transport officials, it is safer and faster than the planes of later generations, how can Zhu Cizhuo give up the magical Sun Moon Island Country.

Huangfu Song, who was standing at the front, said unyieldingly: "Your Majesty, let the ministers give it a try!" "He is the secretary of the Ministry of War, the highest military commander of Riyue Island except for the lord of the country, and he is a multi-faceted talent that Zhu Cizhuo has been focusing on cultivating, but he rarely has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Yizhen, pay attention to protecting the safety of the Ming Wang and the officers and soldiers, and do not allow belligerent danger!" Zhu Cizhuo said and handed over the hand microphone, and said: "Take care of the speedometer, it must not exceed 40 knots, let alone turn and sail at a large angle, and it must not crash into the enemy ship at any time." Mortals will inform you of the sea conditions ahead. ”

Huangfu Song was born on Sun Moon Island since he was a child, and of course he knew when and where this ship was, so he replied loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty." Guaranteed safe evacuation in good condition! He was worried that other generals would be warlike and the giant ship would be damaged, so he grabbed the so-called operational command, and he was relieved to find that the Mingwang had accelerated a little.

Thirteen-year-old Qi Jiguang has been holding the steering wheel by Zhu Cizhuo's side, staring at the Dutch ship brought by the steering and said: "Three Western warships, fourteen armed merchant ships, Yu Mingwang is very unfavorable!" "The Dutch wooden battleship as a whole looked taller than a giant ship, and two of the three layers of black muzzles were higher than the side of the Ming King, and it was condescending to see the soldiers who had no cover on the deck.

The Dutch were called Hongyi in the mouths of officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Hongyi cannon was still the main weapon of the Beiyang Naval Division during the Sino-Japanese War, and the range of heavy artillery was close to six kilometers. The heavy artillery produced on the island has a range of eight kilometers, and the loading and unloading of 2.8 tons is also difficult, and it is easy to install it with a 20 or 50 ton crane on a giant ship.

Zhu Cizhuo picked up the binoculars in front of the passenger platform and observed, only the wind Dutch ship was turning the rudder to meet the giant ship that was changing direction, they saw the huge size of the bulk ship from the side and the ship hesitated slightly, and the flagship was still directing other ships to approach the course of the giant ship.

Zhu Cizhuo walked out of the wheelhouse under the escort of Gan Ning, Tai Shici and others, and came to the outdoor gangway on the left, and saw two ox carts on the rear deck flying rapidly under the smoke wrapping, and those civil and military forces were in a hurry to find the armed merchant ships on the island nearby to escort them.

"Your Majesty, can the speed of the big ship be accelerated?" Gan Ning saw the difference in speed and asked worriedly.

"This speed has exceeded the maximum speed of the Ming King, and it can't be increased anymore!" Zhu Cizhuo seemed to be saying to himself, "I hope the ironclad ship can withstand the bombardment of this era." Being hit by artillery fire will not affect the future use of the Mingwang, but Zhu Cizhuo can't judge the consequences after speeding up.

"Fortunately, there are not many heavy guns on the Dutch ship, and the other ship is not a Dutch sea ship, and there are not many guns on it." Tai Shici gritted his teeth and said, he couldn't do anything in the face of war, and he regretted not coming over with a bow and crossbow.

These are all generals in ancient times, most of them don't like to be in the navy, and prefer to lead troops to fight on land, but now there will be more soldiers and fewer soldiers, and they can only lead the troops to train by ferry, and they have very opinions on Zhu Youxiao's strategy of watching the fire from the other side.

The three hundred military and police on the deck have already entered the combat state, in addition to the infantry guns, there are also more than 100 flintlock guns, the range is not too far, and the sniper rifle held by Zhu Cizhuo is also not suitable for such a sea encounter.

As the Dutch ship drew closer, the excited shouts of the crew and the captain's command could already be heard, but the Ming King moved silently, like a huge ship of death.

The enemy ships were getting closer and closer, the Mingwang first entered the range of the Hongyi cannon, and the two Dutch warships in the near row began to fire shells with the order, but the first two shells did not hit the giant ship, and the left and front of the Mingwang hit two water columns.

The Praetorian Guards on the deck remained motionless as if they hadn't heard the cannonballs, they were the elite of the Sun Moon Island soldiers, and even if they were hit by a cannonball, they would not let out a bluffing scream. Because they have all died once, it would be a superfluous blessing to be alive and enjoy this world, and they have three lives in this life, and they have nothing to fear in the face of death.

"Bang!" In the second round of long-range fire, a shell fell on the loan compartment, and no one of the sergeants was injured because the shell did not explode.

"Huh! What's going on? Zhu Cizhuo couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hey, this Ming Wang has consumed the divine energy of the concubines for nearly three hundred years, how can it be so easy to be broken." Kuram seemed to be taking a bath in the cabin, and answered Zhu Cizhuo's curiosity with a smile.

"Heh, thank you, concubine! But why don't you even have a bullet mark? Zhu Cizhuo looked at the "dumb" like a dung mound, smiled and asked, "Others can't see the water of the nine boats, right?" Then he raised his gun and aimed at the bridge of the enemy ship.
