At the same time that Liu Ziguang was studying Zheng Zhilong, the cabin of a large warship on the sea of Quanzhou was brightly lit, and the Zheng brothers were sitting around the table, solemnly listening to Zheng Sen, who had returned from the capital, telling the deeds of the new Southeast Governor. These are all popular books that Zheng Sen brought back from the capital, and the stories recorded on them are inevitably a little too visual, and the faces are too vivid, so the Zheng brothers didn't care about it after reading it, but now listening to Zheng Sen personally say the ability of Zhen Wubo, these men can't help but look at each other.

Zheng Sen and his uncle Zheng Zhibao personally participated in the Fengtian Temple Incident, and the parties concerned remembered Liu Ziguang's personal bravery and the weapons of the Red Shirt Regiment sharply in their hearts, when everyone heard that the Red Shirt Regiment had technical weapons that could fly in the sky, Zheng Zhilong's brows couldn't help but twist: "With this sharp weapon, the naval battle will be won!" Sen'er, the airship you are talking about, but the big cigar-shaped guy who floats above the boat by the superintendent? Zheng Sen said: "It is this thing, the airship is condescending, overlooking the opportunity of the enemy for hundreds of miles, and it can also throw the object of fire, and the enemy army is helpless." ”

"Isn't there no way around it? Big brother, send a few brothers to watch, and the officers and soldiers are going to send airships to attack us at night, but it will be miserable, alas, it hurts. Zheng Zhihu was lying on the bed and hummed and said, his ribs were kicked and broken by Liu Ziguang, and he was recuperating from several injuries.

"What's the panic, now we are also the sailors of the official army and the imperial court, this Lord Liu's labor expedition is not to eradicate our Zheng family, at least not now, everyone will go back to sleep with peace of mind, and tomorrow when the superintendent proofreads us, give me some spirit." After Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, he waved his hand and let everyone disperse, but left Zheng Sen behind.

"Sen'er asked for reinforcements from the imperial court this time to save my Zheng family from danger, you have made a great contribution, and it is worthy of my Zheng family's thousand-mile horse." When the others were gone, Zheng Zhilong poured a cup for his son, Fujian Tieguanyin said kindly.

Zheng Sen was flattered, his father was rarely so kind to him, mostly severely reprimanded and scolded, but now he suddenly changed his attitude, which made him a little confused: "Sen'er didn't dare to take credit, and those things were all guided by my uncle to do." ”

"Zhibao told me, envelop the courtiers, accept the generals, state the benefits, and finally prompt the court to send troops, this is all your idea, you have such a good fortune at a young age, Daddy is very pleased, there will be a greater burden for you to pick in the future." Zheng Zhilong patted his son's solid shoulder and said.

"Daddy, I won't let you down." Zheng Sen's height is far less tall than Zheng Zhilong's mother, but he also straightens his waist and stands up straight, with a heroic spirit.

Zheng Zhilong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good Sen'er, how do you have a personal relationship with that Inspector Liu**************************************************************...... Early the next morning, the southeast superintendent Liu Ziguang was surrounded by the generals, and the colonel paraded the boat, it was a rare sunny day, the sun was shining, the sea breeze was blowing, and the colorful flags on the battleship were blown by the wind.

The Fujian Navy Division has been exhausted in many years of fighting with the Zheng family, and only a few small sampans are left, so the main force of this review is the Southern Expeditionary Fleet brought by Liu Ziguang and the Zheng Army

"Fujian New Water Division." The people on both sides were holding back their strength to fight for face, so they put on their best armor.

The armor of the sailor soldiers is different from the iron armor used on the 6, there is a fundamental difference from the material, the salt spray and moisture on the sea are large, the metal utensils are easy to rust, and the soldiers wearing iron armor fall into the sea It is difficult to save themselves, so everyone's armor is mostly made of paper armor, cotton armor, leather armor and bamboo and wood armor, paper armor is made of asexual extremely soft paper processing hammer soft stacking thickness of three inches square inch four nails, stained with sea water and rainwater, the protection is higher, and the crossbow arrows are difficult to shoot through; The cotton armor is sewn with silk cotton, soaked in water, and then spread on the ground, kicked and dried in the sun, and used in light and tough leather armor, which is made of rhinoceros skin and shark skin, and the lining of the board can block knives and guns on the back of the chest, bamboo and wood armor is a kind of armor popular in Southeast Asia and the Japanese country, the surface is painted, it looks bright, but in fact, the protection ability is limited; The Zhejiang sailors mostly wore cotton armor and paper armor, while the Zheng family army mostly wore bamboo and wood armor.

"General Zheng's subordinates are really well-trained, and they are really the strongest army in the South China Sea." Liu Ziguang sat on the wide rattan handsome chair and turned his head to praise Zheng Zhilong, who was standing on the side.

"The handsome Miao praised." Zheng Zhilong smiled faintly, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse, although after the attack of Xiyi, his troops were only one-third of the original, but compared with the Zhejiang Sailors, they did not fall behind in momentum at all, and the scenery was the unruly pirate faction that swept across the seas, and the officers and soldiers of the Sailors under Shi Lang were compared.

Dozens of warships rode the wind and waves in front of Liu Ziguang, and after passing over, they neatly formed a long snake formation on the sea, and the masts were like forests, and the battle flags fluttered and the sound of war drums was impressive.

The last one to pass by the viewing platform was the main force of the Southern Expeditionary Fleet, the Shanghai Flying Mothership, only to see this huge paddle wheel battleship tumbling and splashing, and the sailors on board did not wear armor, but covered with a colored vest with words written on the outside of the blue and white striped cotton gown, which was written in red, green, blue, yellow, and black, according to different colors

"Mechanical"

"Oil"

"Take"

The words "engine" and other words are uniformly rattan helmets on the head, embellished with brass sun, moon and star ranks, and a series of heavily armed powered parachutes are parked on the deck, passing by the viewing platform, a swarm of swarm cluster rocket launchers at the front of the deck and the temporary melee weapons and steam machine guns installed in the amidships, and at the same time raise the muzzles of the guns and turn to the generals and commanders who are proofreading.

The airship also flew over the viewing ship, the huge hull completely blocked the sun, so that the people below had a strong sense of oppression, and a huge red ribbon was thrown out of the airship cabin just right, and a vertical row of large characters were written on it: "I will use it in battle, and I will win."

"What a heavenly army! There are male soldiers of the Governor here, why worry that Xiyi will not break Taiwan, and all kinds of bandits will not bow down. Xiong Wencan excitedly cocked the beard on his chin and complimented Liu Ziguang, and glanced at Zheng Zhilong with ulterior motives as he spoke.

"Although this heavenly soldier is imposing, but I am afraid that the opportunity to face the enemy is unbearable, you must know that Xiyi's ship is strong and powerful, and the crossbow can shoot a mile away, and the shell of this airship is soft and difficult to be a sharp arrow." When it comes to naval warfare, our Zheng Jiajun's iron ship is the most powerful. It was Zheng Zhibiao and Zheng Zhilong's younger brother who spoke.

Liu Ziguang smiled slightly when he heard this, Zheng Zhibiao said this, which shows that he is a smart person who is good at analysis, and the airship is made of fragile skin, which naturally cannot be compared with a strong warship, which is naturally already in Liu Ziguang's consideration.

"What the general said is very true, but do you think that this commander will expose the airship to the strike distance of the enemy ship? Today, while everyone is here, let's compare and see whether Zheng Zongbing's iron ship is powerful or my airship is powerful. The participants were the airships of the Southern Expedition Fleet and the warships of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, the target was a broken cargo ship two miles away, and whoever could sink it first would win.

Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes on dozens of warships, the battle between the air and the sea kicked off, the Zheng family's contestants are a thousand-material paddle wheel, the key part is equipped with iron plates, so it is also known as the iron ship, it is the backbone of the Zheng army's sailors, and its role is equivalent to the destroyers of later generations.

The player of the Red Shirt Regiment is the giant airship, this huge airship integrates all the latest technological achievements of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, which is the pride of Liu Ziguang and the pride of the Red Shirt Troupe.

The airship and the iron ship are separated from the left and right sides of the target, and the command flag on the command platform is waved, and the two start at the same time to see who can hit the target first, the boiler of the iron ship has been boiled, and the bright wheel is driven by the steam, turning wildly, the sea water is moving forward, and the steam-driven bow and crossbow are also raised, and they will shoot first to sink the target when the distance is closer.

The propellers of the airship did not rotate at all, and they remained in place. Tens of thousands of viewers were shocked, didn't the big guy flying in the sky want to win glory for the Inspector?

How can you be so calm? The captain of the airship, Ma Saiyou, was not in a hurry at all, he didn't think about sinking the enemy ship in close combat, the airship was so fragile that it couldn't withstand the blow of rockets, so his strategy to defeat the enemy was to use the Eagle Strike III anti-ship missile to sink the target with a long-range strike.

The crew was busy, and the observer soldier measured the direction of the wind, and then reported to the weapon operator, and the operator adjusted the rudder and horizontal wing of the missile, aiming according to the distance and angle between the weapon launch platform and the target.

"The missile is ready." The operator squatting on the weapon platform made of bamboo grabbed the microphone on his chest and shouted into the microphone, and the voice was transmitted to the command room through a thin rope, and the captain Ma Saiyou glanced at the Zheng family iron boat with contempt for his life, which was spraying billowing smoke and increasing horsepower, picked up the microphone and ordered loudly: "Shoot." ”

"It's shooting." As soon as the operator let go of the wrench, the two Eagle Strike-3 missiles were ejected by the powerful wire bowstring, and flew towards the target, and as soon as they broke away from the weapon platform, the 3,000-turn cowhide band in front of the missile began to release its power, driving the bamboo propeller in front of it to rotate to provide power for this small airplane-like missile.

The distance of the two-mile sea route is not far even for the warship, and the Zheng family's iron ship is full of horsepower, approaching the target quickly, and it seems that it is about to reach the effective shooting distance, but before they can start to aim, the two big bird-like missiles have passed over their heads, and they are flying towards the target with a strange scream, and the speed is jaw-dropping.

The Eagle Strike III missile uses three kinds of power to fly, with the help of the power of the wire bowstring when it takes off from the weapon platform, and relies on the power provided by the cowhide band propeller during the flight, and at the end of the flight, the used up cowhide band and propeller naturally fall off, and the clock mechanism at the rear of the missile rotates the steel serration teeth to rub the flint to ignite the gunpowder, and makes the final sprint under the gunpowder jet, and when it hits the target, the spring firing pin in front of the missile is impacted, and it hits inward, and the explosion of mercury and gunpowder leads to the explosion of mercury and gunpowder, so as to achieve the effect of sinking the target.

The Eagle Strike III missile is the crystallization of the technology of the Daming Academy of Sciences, and the unit price of each one is more than 100 taels, and the silver is so valuable, so novel, and so unbelievable, and only Liu Ziguang can get it, so he is willing to equip it.

Before the missile hit the target, the generals on the viewing platform had already been deeply thundered, and everyone's hands holding the clairvoyant mirror moved quickly to trace the traces of the missile, muttering in their mouths: "What is this... "The two missiles were adjusted to resist the crosswind before they were fired, and the aiming direction was also slightly changed, but the distance of two miles was still too far, and the target ship was also shaking with the wind, so only one hit the target, the firing pin hit the lightning mercury, and detonated the high explosive in the missile case, and after a loud bang, the target ship was hit by a big hole, and the other missile, fell into the sea water at the stern of the target ship, and the huge impact force still led to the explosion, a very high water column rose on the water surface, and the sea water rose into the air, and a huge whirlpool was naturally formed on the sea surface, which directly attracted the target ship, and the stern of the ship was planted into the sea, and then the water column turned into a big wave and slapped down, and the target ship that had been blown apart was abused againThe old and withered target ship disappeared from the sea in an instant.

The weapons operators on the airship two miles away saw this scene and proudly high-fived each other to congratulate, and then took off the goggles on their heads and went back to the cabin to rest, while the sailors on the Zheng family's iron ship still looked at the empty sea in disbelief, and a crossbowman came out of the cabin and shouted: "Where is the target ship?" Why is the target ship gone? "The whole sea is silent, hundreds of warships, thousands of pairs of eyes look at the unsettled sea, silent, this weapon is too terrifying, every Zheng soldier is thinking, if one day to become an enemy of the imperial court, people shoot these two big birds from miles away in the middle of the night, then they don't even know how to die.

The officers and men of the Zhejiang Navy Division were more excited than afraid, and after a moment of silence, they began to shout with joy: "We will win!" Win! ”

"The Heavenly Army of the Overseer is indeed brave and humble, and is willing to bow to the wind." Zheng Zhilong put down the clairvoyant mirror and calmed down, and praised in his heart.
