Under the attention of the Manchu civil and military forces, the Military Garrison Division finally completed the construction of all the new red-coated cannons in only ten days.

Subsequently, these 500 new-style red-coated cannons were sent to the mouth of the Yangtze River by the Ministry of War to equip the warships......

"Boom...... Woo woo woo ......" accompanied by a dull roar sounded on a new-style warship that had just been built at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the scream produced by the flowering bomb crossing the sky was immediately followed by the Yangtze River estuary......

Under the gaze of thousands of sailors and soldiers and the secretary of the military department, the flowering bomb with a screaming sound flew directly on the sea surface for more than two miles and smashed into the sea!

Then, a violent explosion of flowering bombs sounded on the surface of the sea, and a thick column of water as high as five zhang high also rose from the sea surface along with the explosion......

Seeing this, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Navy Division, especially those who had fought with the Tiger and Leopard Army, were directly boiling.

The new red-coated cannon has a range of more than two miles, which directly means that they are no longer passively beaten when fighting with the Haw Par Army's naval division. When facing the Haw Par Army Sailor, he has the ability to fight back.

In the naval battle that may break out in the future, let the Haw Par Army have a good taste of the power of the imperial court sailors, and be ashamed......

Just when the soldiers were in a boil, Liu Yun, the chief soldier who had just been appointed by the imperial court as the chief general of the water division, had a facial expression that was still full of anticipation just now, and at this moment, it had been completely replaced by the heat.

Facing the military department Shangshu who was also smiling beside him, he assured with a proud face: "My lord, the last general guarantees that after the sailor is equipped with a new red-clothed cannon, he will definitely be able to be ashamed in the next naval battle." All the Haw Par Army warships in the coastal waters south of the Yangtze River were wiped out. Live up to the high expectations of the imperial court for my sailors......"

In front of the range of more than two miles from the new red-coated cannon. The military department is also full of confidence in this imminent naval battle.

Facing Liu Yun, the chief soldier of the water division, he replied expectantly: "Very good, this is what the old man wants...... Sue sù soldiers, the old man applied to the imperial court for a reward of 100,000 taels of silver for all the soldiers of the water division. In the naval battle, a reward of 2,000 taels of silver was awarded for sinking a warship of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver was awarded for damaging a warship of the Haw Par Army......

There will be brave men under the great reward. Just when thousands of soldiers up and down the sailor, stimulated by the silver, shouted that they wanted to go to sea to find revenge on the Tiger and Leopard Army.

They didn't know that the powerful recoil of the new red-coated cannon had caused some subtle loosening in the structure of this wooden warship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons.

There was little damage to a battleship caused by a single redcoat cannon, but when more than a dozen new redcoat cannons on one side of the battleship fired at the same time, it generated a huge recoil. It's not something a pure wooden warship can afford.

Of course, these are all unknown to the thousands of soldiers of the sailor. At this moment, they are full of enthusiasm and hope for the future, and they have focused all their limited attention on the new red-clothed cannon that may bring them victory. No one paid any attention to the recoil at all.

Garrisoning the mouth of the Yangtze River to prevent the Tiger and Leopard Army Naval Division from going directly up the river and threatening the safety of Nanjing City, this imperial court naval division was just formed by the imperial court.

However, the thousands of soldiers of the sailors, from top to bottom, are all elites drawn from other sailors.

Therefore, in just three days of coordinated training, thousands of soldiers fully mastered the warships and artillery under their feet.

Subsequently, more than 20 warships were divided into six, and three warships left the mouth of the Yangtze River in a mighty way to hunt along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River. As for the object of their hunt, there is no doubt that the Haw Par Army is full of sailor warships full of salt smuggling......

On a calm sea, a Haw Par Army naval warship that had just finished delivering the goods was sailing north with the tens of thousands of taels of silver it had just received, along the sea breeze.

When hundreds of soldiers of the warship were immersed in an atmosphere of excitement and relaxation, a crisp alarm suddenly sounded on the lookout. Then, the slightly nervous voice of the lookout reached the ears of every soldier of the warship......

"Imperial Naval Division, three Imperial Naval Divisions warships have appeared in front of us, and they are surrounding us......"

After several months of fighting, the officers and men of the Haw Par Army Navy Division clearly saw the backwardness of the imperial court's sailor warships.

It can be said that in front of the Haw Par Army Naval Division's warship, the imperial court's naval division battleship didn't even have a chance to return the phone.

Therefore, the sound of the lookout's warning, although it was first heard on the warship.

However, on the deck of the warship, the faces of the soldiers did not show any pre-battle tension and worry.

It was as if conducting an exercise, under the orders of the respective officers, they methodically rushed to their own combat positions......

As for the captain, he quickly raised his monocular and looked at the three imperial navy warships that were still located three miles away.

It's just that what makes the captain feel incomprehensible is that these three imperial navy warships did not approach him as fast as they had encountered before, so that they could have the ability to fight back as soon as possible in the naval battle.

When the three warships were still more than two miles away from him, a picture that made the captain feel incredible came into view.

The three imperial navy warships that were heading towards them in a semi-encirclement actually began to turn, aiming all the muzzles of more than a dozen black holes on the side of the warship at themselves, and posing as if they were about to open fire......

Just when the captain was puzzled in his heart, there were more than two miles away on the imperial navy warship, and more than a dozen black hole cannon ports located on the side of the ship suddenly erupted a ball of fireball mixed with a large amount of white smoke.

Then, the dull sound of shelling, the screeching of flowering shells across the sky, reached the captain's ears.

And in the blink of an eye, the guns of the other two warships also fired......

Under the watchful eyes of the captain and hundreds of officers and men of the Haw Par Army, dozens of flowering shells did not fall into the sea after flying halfway, but with a screaming sound, they went directly to their positions......

The flowering bomb exploded when it fell into the water, and thick columns of water quickly rose in front of the warship.

What made the captain feel nervous was that in the middle of these columns of water that rose into the air, the closest to the warship under his feet was not even twenty paces.

However, this is also something that the captain is thankful for......

Although the range of the new red-coated cannon on the imperial warship was very long, the longer the range was without any measuring tools and the operation was based on experience, the longer the range meant that the accuracy of the flowering shell would be worse......

The Haw Par Army's naval guns are different......

Because none of the guns were of the same size, a large number of test firings and studies were carried out before they were delivered to the naval divisions, and based on the results of these test firings, measuring discs and angle gauges were created for these naval guns......

With the help of these tools, as long as the gunners can accurately measure the distance of the shelling, the flowering shells fired will not be more than twenty paces apart, even if they do not hit the target. (To be continued......)
