Duan Youzhi has to go up to the city wall every day to take a look, and today is the same, go up to the city wall again to take a look, Duan Youzhi is in a heavy mood, today is the eleventh day, I don't know if the news has been passed out.

From the actions of the Westerners, Duan Youzhi has already seen that the Westerners must have some conspiracy, whether they are waiting for reinforcements or waiting for the arrival of large warships.

Thinking so in his heart, Duan Youzhi's heart sank, if a large Western warship came over and had heavy artillery, it would be completely different.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In the distance, there was a faint sound of explosions, Duan Youzhi quickly looked into the distance, because of the distance, he couldn't see it very clearly, and it seemed that he could vaguely see that the few Western warships docked on the sea in the distance were exploding.

Here's what's going on!

Duan Youzhi immediately shouted loudly: "Quick, come over with my telescope!" ”

Picking up his monoculars, Duan Youzhi immediately looked at the sea in the distance, this time he could see more clearly, there were many warships on the sea level in the distance, the number was very large, at least several, and these warships seemed to be shelling those few Western warships.

"Haha, our fleet is coming!"

Don't think about it, it must be your own fleet, Duan Youzhi laughed, and his heart was light, his own fleet is here, and these Westerners are finished.

When the Second Fleet arrived at the port of Manila, it was met with heavy shelling, and these wooden Western warships were quickly destroyed, blown to pieces, and the tattered planks floated on the sea.

One by one, steam-powered warships approached the Manila docks, and those Westerners naturally saw it, and when they saw such a huge fleet coming, they were scared to death and prepared to block it in a panic.

It's a joke to stop the gods, but with their muskets?

"Artillery coverage!"

Standing in the command room of the "Tianjin" ironclad ship, looking at the pier of the Westerners in the distance, Zheng Chenggong coldly gave an order, and soon, the flag soldiers waved the flag.

One artillery at a time, aimed at the pier of the Westerners, and it didn't take long for it to be overwhelming, and after ten minutes, the shelling stopped, and there was not a single living person in the entire pier.

Then, everything was very simple, several 3,000-gauge steam-powered carriers docked, and a heavily armed Marine landed and began to purge the entire port of Manila from the Westerners.

In less than a day, all the Westerners in Manila were wiped out, and many warships of the Second Fleet were also docked, and Zheng Chenggong also stepped down from the "Tianjin" ironclad ship.

According to Zhang Feng's instructions, the Second Fleet was temporarily stationed here, planning the construction of the harbor, recruiting a large number of local people, and so on.

Not only will a large civilian seaport be built here, but also a large military seaport will be built, and it is also seen that a military base will be built near the seaport, and a Second Fleet headquarters in Manila will be established, and a fleet will be formed in the future to be stationed here for a long time.

A few days later.

The Westerners probably also got the news, and the combined fleet of the Westerners was all dispatched, including the several sail battleships.

The two sides fought a fierce super-large naval battle in Manila Bay, with the total number of warships participating in the battle more than a hundred, and the naval battle lasted almost a whole day.

By evening, the battle was over, and there was no more cannon sound on the sea, only burning ships, some still billowing in smoke and burning violently, and some sinking.

These warships, almost all of which were Western warships, in front of the Second Fleet, the sea battle was completely one-sided at the beginning, and one Western battleship after another was sunk, and even those few sail battleships were not spared.

The combined fleet of the West was completely destroyed, while the losses of the Second Fleet were much smaller, with only two ships sunk and several ships severely damaged.

The next day, the main force of the Second Fleet temporarily left the port of Manila, first went to Jakarta, Indonesia, to eliminate the Westerners there, and then went to Malacca, where a military port and military base were built in the Strait of Malacca to control the entire Malacca.

In this way, the Strait of Malacca is controlled by China, and the warships of the Westerners will definitely not be able to pass, and the merchant ships of the Westerners will be able to pass if they want to, and they can pay for it.

After the end of the war, in the next two years, the port of Manila was under construction, and the military base in Malacca was also under construction, not only a large military base was established, but also a large military port was built, and so on.

…………

In 1646, Japan sent a large number of ronin to invade the southeast coast of China, and Zhang Feng sent envoys to negotiate with Japan, but with little success.

At the beginning of 1647, Zhang Feng sent troops to attack Japan, and the first troops landed in Hirado, Japan, and then advanced towards the whole of Japan.

The Japanese side organized an army of one million and fought several major battles with the Chinese army, and the Chinese army won several battles, and within half a year, the main force of the Japanese army was annihilated.

With the entry of well-equipped infantry divisions into Japan, the entire territory of Japan was occupied, the Tokukang family was destroyed, and with the support of the Chinese army, the puppet regime of the Japanese emperor was established.

At the same time, a large number of Japanese captive laborers were sent back to China to engage in heavy manual labor, according to incomplete statistics, from 1647 to 1650, in just a few years, more than one million Japanese prime laborers were sent back to China to engage in heavy manual labor.

The Japanese emperor is completely subordinate to China, and there are also several large Chinese military bases in Japan, and the Chinese troops stationed in Japan are maintained at about 100,000 all year round.

A large number of laborers came to China to work, China's infrastructure construction developed rapidly, with the opening of the Beijing-Pudong Railway, another railway artery has been opened to traffic, and the huge railway network is gradually taking shape.

Not to mention the highways, in just a few years, several national highways have been built in China, a well-developed road network is also taking shape, and on the cement roads, you can see a lot of horse-drawn carriages coming and going, and sometimes, you can see steam-powered cars.

Westerners are not willing to accept defeat and are not willing to give up their huge interests in the East, and after the Battle of Manila Bay, after a long period of preparation, after a few years, the Westerners made a comeback again.

This time, the combined fleet of the Westerners was much larger, most of them were sail battleships, and some were super-large sail battleships, armed with large-caliber guns.

The Chinese Navy and the combined fleet of the Westerners once again engaged in a naval battle.

The naval battle lasted two whole days, and the result was undoubtedly a crushing defeat for the Westerners, and the combined fleet of the West was completely annihilated.

The Chinese Navy crossed the Strait of Malacca and entered the Indian Ocean. The same is true of China's ocean-going trade fleet, which began as far as India and even Africa. Since then, Western countries have never dared to challenge the Chinese navy.

Fifty years later.

Fifty years since the founding of the Chinese Empire, not only is the territory huge, but there are many vassal states below, dozens of overseas military bases, and more than 500,000 overseas garrisons have been maintained for a long time.

Even Western Europe was conquered, and in Western Europe there were Chinese military ports, as well as Chinese military bases. A few years ago, the Suez Canal had been built, and with the efforts of hundreds of thousands of laborers, it took several years to build the canal connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, and the fleet to Europe no longer had to make a detour, and the voyage was greatly shortened.

On the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Empire, a grand military parade was held, which can be seen from the weapons and equipment participating in the parade. The muskets of the fighters have changed considerably, with smaller calibers, significantly smokeless powder bullets, and the use of magazines, which can hold five rounds at a time.

The officers who participated in the parade were no longer wearing revolvers, but more advanced semi-automatic pistols, which had a performance of 12 rounds at a time, which was more advanced than the previous revolvers.

After the National Day, Zhang Feng announced that he would officially abdicate and pass on to his son, the eldest son born to Zhang Feng and Princess Kunxing.

Chen Yuanyuan gave birth to two daughters and a son, Princess Kunxing gave birth to a son and a daughter, Qin Xiaoyu gave birth to the most, giving birth to three sons and two daughters, Zhang Feng has a total of five sons and four daughters.

The five sons, except for the crown prince, who will inherit the throne in the future, the other four sons, either engaged in business, built a huge business empire, or became professors in universities.

Zhang Feng announced his abdication, the people were extremely reluctant, and in the capital, a large number of ordinary people even held a march to keep Zhang Feng in office for a few more years.

In the past 50 years, the Chinese Empire has not only had a strong military force and conquered the whole world, but also had Chinese military bases and military ports in the Americas, and the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their lives gradually became richer.

The country has completed the first industrial revolution in an all-round way, entered the capitalist era in an all-round way, and industry and commerce are flourishing.

In terms of education, a ten-year compulsory education system is implemented, and students from Guangzhou University enter the school hall to receive new knowledge, and there are already hundreds of universities in the country, and hundreds of thousands of students complete their studies every year, leave the university, and go to work.

Social stability, prosperity, fairness, justice, equality before the law, Zhang Feng has made extraordinary achievements during his 50 years of reign.

After the abdication, Zhang Feng became idle.

Under the warm spring sun, Zhang Feng lay on the rocking chair, basking in the sun, listening to his great-great-granddaughter Zhang Yalan reading the newspaper and listening to the latest current affairs news.

is already in his seventies, Zhang Feng is deaf and bright-eyed, and his spirit is very good, in Zhang Feng's own words, there is no problem in living for another thirty years.

After listening to the newspaper, Zhang Feng got up and said, "It's not early, I'm going to give a lecture at Kyoto University today." ”

Zhang Feng, who is idle, is actually not idle, and goes to Kyoto University every week to give one or two lectures to doctoral students there.

Today, Zhang Feng wants to talk about the principles of electricity, and tell you about electrical knowledge, Kyoto University already has its own electrical laboratory, to carry out a series of theoretical research on electrical knowledge.

"Grandpa Huang, you must not forget the gift you promised me today."

Seeing Zhang Feng get up, Zhang Yalan reminded loudly, Zhang Feng smiled and said, "No, when the imperial grandfather comes back from the lecture, he will definitely bring it back to you." ”
