Emperor Yang's journey of pretending to be forced ended in Burma, where he took a Sichuan gunboat up the Irrawaddy River and landed in northern Burma, and then took a horse-drawn carriage into Yunnan and then from Yunnan along the newly opened national highway into Guizhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

By this time, national highways were already common.

Although the asphalt road is a bit exaggerated, the sandy road is not stressful.

In fact, at this time, almost every county in Daming has done to build a sandy road, and asphalt roads are not uncommon, the streets of those big cities are paved with this, the postal and public transportation system of horse-drawn carriages and steam cars continue to shuttle through these roads, maintaining the passenger transport and postal business in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, even some passenger transport companies have appeared, those small county stations, guarding the steam car door to greet the sound of guests more and more commonplace.

Well, this scene also made His Majesty the Emperor feel a touch of nostalgia.

The lack of water transportation in Yunnan and Guizhou, the terrain full of mountains and mountains, makes the railway investment too difficult and too high, of course, the main reason is that the economy is still underdeveloped, and it is not a strategic place, and the importance is slightly behind, so the development of highways is more practical. In fact, the construction of the first railway in Yunnan has also begun, but it is not to the north, but from the Jinghai, which is the part of northern Vietnam that belongs to the Ming Dynasty. Originally, it was called Jiaozhi, but later the local gentry jointly wrote that the name was not good, so they simply took out the name of the Jing Navy in the Tang Dynasty and renamed it Jinghai Province, in fact, the scope of this province is basically equivalent to the jurisdiction of the Jing Navy in the Tang Dynasty.

This route is obviously much easier than drilling into the vast mountains of Guangxi, which can be called hellish.

Yang Feng went east from Guiyang, still taking the national highway in a horse-drawn carriage, and finally changed to a train in Hengyang, and went north along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway that was under construction and had actually just been repaired in Hengyang, and after arriving in Wuchang, boarded a ship and went south back to Nanjing, where he had been away for more than a year. At this time, hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing were already waiting for the triumph of His Majesty the Emperor, and after landing at the Dasheng Pass in Nanjing, he had to fly to the sky to satisfy the curiosity of the people of the capital, after all, the emperor's new abilities had been in the major newspapers for a year. Immediately afterwards, Yinren's handful of bone slag and Yinyou's head soaked in formalin liquid were sacrificed together in front of Chongzhen's mausoleum, which can be regarded as reuniting their family.

It is said that Brother Ma is in the spirit of the sky......

You can also continue to be blind.

After all, this kind of family reunion scene is probably the last thing he wants to see.

In this way, in his family, there are still Yinxi and Yinyu who are still missing, the former disappeared in the vast red desert, and the latter disappeared in Taihang Mountain a long time ago, and Su Mo'er, who was with him, was gnawed by wolves and had only a head, but he seemed to have crossed over, and he could no longer be found. Although the local government has also conducted many in-depth and detailed investigations after that, in the end nothing was found, and most of them were gnawed by wolves and there was nothing left. After all, so many hardcore crops on the Taihang Road died at the beginning, and even Suo Etu and Mingzhu starved to death on the mountain road together, so no one could say which pile of wolf dung he was in.

In addition to the two of them, there is also the sixth elder brother Yinzuo because he died in Taiyuan, although the bone slag was buried by his eldest brother, but later the tomb was robbed and scavenged, and when the Ming army finally remembered to find it, even the grave was flattened, and those rotten bones and slag did not know where to go for a long time, and finally had to give up looking for it and let him go like that.

And the living ones are headed by Yinyu, and they are all in Kang Mazi Courtyard at this time!

In recent years, the general Wang is also old and decrepit, and there are more and more decent guests to patronize, after all, he does this business, and he can't last a few years after eating youth, although he is now less than thirty years old, but in front of those beautiful young men from the Japanese Kingdom and Siam, it is already yesterday's yellow, ***. In the past, he was so popular because of his special identity, but after so many years, as his family went to the places where they should go one by one, those guys also lost their freshness to him. Now I can only be like those outdated Ji girls, immersed in the good memories of his own game of thousands of dragon yuan every day, and occasionally a benefactor called his bureau, so he happily put on the yellow flag cotton armor and ran to the ......

Needless to say, what to do.

As for his three younger brothers, after Yinlu reached the age of surgery, because he couldn't think of jumping the Qinhuai River for a while, Yinlu could think about it, but he was disabled, so no one cared about it, and finally was bought by a Ji Institute to be a Gui Gong, he has made a lot of achievements in this field, and he is currently a gold medal Gui Gong in the Ji Yuan where he works, as for the youngest Yinji, this was infected by the guests before he became an adult and died.

In short, the Ma Ge family is over like this.

"It was my youth that died with them!"

In front of the Chongzhen Mausoleum, Emperor Yang looked at Brother Ma and couldn't help but sigh.

Ma Ge, who has been made into a specimen, which is filled with various embalming materials, stared at him silently with two eyes that were hollow because of shrinkage, and the paper Qing version of the dragon robe on his body was quite new because of regular replacement, and it was still quite scary to look at the body that actually only had a skin bag, just when Yang Feng finished saying this, a small whirlwind blew outside, rolling up the paper dragon robe and brushing it, making Yang Feng can't help but get goosebumps.

He glanced at Brother Ma in horror, but quickly left the place.

"Sir, they say the Red Sea is no sailing."

At this moment, an officer on the distant Red Sea boarded the cruiser Invincible and said to Admiral Chen Han of the South Ocean Fleet.

On the sea in their distance, twelve sail battleships lined up, including two third-class battleships, and the remaining ten were all cruisers, all of which looked familiar, because this was originally the Ming Navy warship, but at this time the mast of these battleships fluttered the Ottoman flag, which was the retired battleship purchased by the Ottomans from the Ming Dynasty, and now they are carrying out the task of blockading the Red Sea.

Ahmed III still didn't want to completely tear his face with Yang Feng.

Although the Egyptians were beating his army with Ming weapons, Yusuf's army had suffered another crushing defeat in Syria not long ago, and the Mamluks led by Murad had begun to attack Damascus, but in this case, Ahmet III could only do to blockade the Red Sea and prevent those Ming merchant ships from continuing to transport arms to Egypt, and even he gave his fleet commander an additional order that unless the Ming army took the initiative to attack, he would not fire the first shot.

He was scared.

Just by holding the Ming munitions, the Mamluks have already beaten him to the point where they have no power to fight back, so what about the Ming army?

And the Ming army has already occupied Aden.

Once the two sides officially start the war, then the Ming army can go north from Aden, and at this time, almost all of his garrisons in the Hejaz have been transferred to the Syrian battlefield, it can be said that the door is simply open, and the only thing he can count on is those Arabs, this is no problem, just rely on the Ming army's approach to defend the temple, those Arabs will definitely fight to the end, but the problem is that if the Arabs defeat the Ming army, then he will also lose the Hejaz.

Those Arabs are not good birds.

So......

If you can, don't fight!

"Forward!"

Chen Han said with a faint smile.

As his order was issued, the whistles of the twelve cruisers sounded at the same time, and then with the Invincible as the center, they formed a formation of goose wings like the cavalry of an ancient charge, and under the impetus of the propellers, they crashed into the Ottoman fleet in the distance like arrows, and soon the speed climbed to more than ten knots. The bow of the black giant ships ploughed the waves and quickly entered the range of the guns, and then with the wave of the signal flag on the Invincible, all the battleships turned to the right at the same time, and at the same time, the gun mounts of the five-inch guns in the bow and stern slowly turned to the port side, and the muzzles of the ten four-inch guns on the port side were gradually raised.

Soon all the battleships were parallel to the Ottoman fleet, which was lined up in battle lines in the distance.

The distance between the two sides is three miles.

"Fire!"

Chen Han said.

Suddenly, like a volcanic eruption, the first salvo of 24 5-inch guns and 120 4-inch guns on the 12 cruisers completed the first salvo with extreme speed, and the 144 shells flew over the sea surface of 1,800 meters in an instant, and then I saw the flames that exploded at the same time on the four Ottoman warships on the opposite side rise, and then began to sink with raging fire.

"Go on!"

Chen Han said with satisfaction.

And at the same time, the dense fire on the remaining Ottoman battleships on the opposite side was shining, which was the same Ming cast steel rifled gun fire, and the shells fired from the opposite side kept falling before the Ming artillery finished loading, but unfortunately most of them missed, and at such a distance, it was impossible to really aim without a rangefinder. As a result, only two shells fell on the Ming battleship, one of which hit the waterline and was easily bounced off by a steel plate more than two inches thick, and the other fell on the deck, but the woodpipe fuse was set too long and exploded after being ejected from the ship's side, and the shrapnel was blocked by the steel plate of the gun profile, and the Ming army suffered no casualties.

At the same time as these shells fell, the Ming army's four-inch cannon was loaded, and then one hundred and twenty cannons roared one after another.

Even a four-inch cannon is enough.

Eight 50-pound piercing bombs loaded with 6 pounds of wet cotton gunpowder instantly hit the four Ottoman warships, and the huge momentum allowed the pointed bullets to easily penetrate the wooden planks of the latter, and then exploded inside one after another, and the terrifying explosive flames smashed the wooden planks and sprayed outward, announcing the fate of these four warships.

And at the same time, twenty-four five-inch guns opened fire.

Two hits.

Eighty pounds of shells easily sent two more battleships to the bottom of the sea.

There are still two enemy ships left on the opposite side.

The Ottomans raised the white flag of surrender as fast as they could.

"Still blocked, do you have the qualifications?"

Chen Han said disdainfully. (To be continued.) )
