Chapter 824: A Lesson for France

Just when the Ming Royal Navy attacked the Ottoman Empire's coastal areas in the Red Sea and the Oman Sea against the Gulf of Suez and the Persian Gulf respectively, the allies of the Ottoman Empire went to the Ottoman Empire one after another to give the Ottoman Empire a certain amount of strength support.

After all, the Ottoman Empire had formed military alliances with France, the Kingdom of England, and the United Netherlands against the Spanish Habsburgs, Italy, and the Duchy of Austria.

Nominally, the Ottoman Empire at this time was a military alliance with Britain, the Netherlands, and France.

However, even in the alliance relationship, France, Britain, and the Netherlands did not declare war on the Ming Dynasty, but took material and weapon support.

In peacetime, Venice would not have had the courage to detain the French transport ships, but now when Helena took Liu Bingren and more than 30 other warships, as well as 55 armed merchant ships purchased from the Ming Dynasty, the Republic of Venice quickly made a choice.

The Saint-Etini musket is the standard musket of France, invented by the French Marin Le Bauorgioyes and given to King Louis XIV of France in 1620. Of course, Britain had its own musket, and France, as a self-proclaimed European army, also needed a rifle of its own.

Marin was the governor of a province, a local gentry, and a famous mechanical engineer, but in fact this standard rifle was not invented by Marin, but by his younger brother, a watchmaker named Pierre Le Ballgioyes, and it was a strange musket that combined flintlock pistol and arquebus.

Like some film and television dramas, you can see the shadow of this musket, about 55 inches long, about 140 centimeters, the barrel is made of steel, and the body of the gun is made of walnut. The power is very large, the range is also large, and because the weight is too heavy, it is necessary to add a fork when firing to hold up the rifle.

This rifle was used in another time and space, until 1850, when it was retired and replaced by the French standard Lebel rifle.

When the navy of Venice boarded the French merchant ship, the French merchant directly threatened: "Venetians, think clearly about the consequences!" ”

There is no way, in the face of European France, the Venetians have no self-confidence.

At this time, Germany had not yet been truly unified, and the French were the first army in Europe, of course, it would take more than ten years, and when the French infantry trampled the Spanish phalanx in the dirt, France became the first army in Europe for the first time.

Venice is a small country, but it is still soft in the bones.

They wanted to give up, and at that moment, a huge whistle sounded.

"Seris!"

Seris, which is an ancient Roman word, also refers to China in general. Now the Ming Dynasty is commonly known as Seris in Europe, which originally meant silk and silk-related countries.

The French on the armed merchant ship were suddenly in a mess, and the Ming Royal Navy reacted very quickly, and with the report from the Venetians, Liu Bingren personally led the team.

As the French armed merchant ships tried to run, the heavy machine guns on the main battleship began to strafe, and in an instant those French merchants knelt on the deck, and they did not come back to their senses for a long time.

The French could have jumped into the sea, but they had just wanted to jump into the sea, and before they could fall into the sea, they were swept into a pile of minced meat.

It's a stolen garment.

Within a few days, the news was transmitted to the city of Beijing through the airwaves.

When Quan Xu heard the news, he immediately consulted with Shen Mingze: "We have captured a French armed transport in the Mediterranean, with 4,300 Saint-Etini muskets on board, and twelve bronze 12-pounder field guns. ”

Shen Mingze was slightly stunned: "France? How dare they? ”

"Because the Ottoman Empire is their military ally, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's navy, they would even dare to declare war on the Ming Dynasty!"

Quan Xu was very unhappy with France, he hadn't freed up his hands to deal with France, they actually dared to come out and disgust Daming.

Shen Mingze muttered: "The Government Council will immediately summon the French chargé d'affaires, we need an explanation from France!" ”

"No, we have to teach France a lesson!"

Quan Xu said indignantly: "To let the French know that if you dare to meddle in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, you will have to pay the price!" ”

Shen Mingze wanted to solve the French problem through commercial means, but the problem was that commercial and commercial means were a double-edged sword, which could not only hurt the enemy, but also hurt the enemy.

Instead, it is better to take Quanxu's means.

Quan Xu's order was immediately sent to the Third Fleet in the form of radio waves through the General Staff, and the Third Fleet immediately retaliated.

A group of seven armed merchant ships is slowly passing through the waters of Malacca.

At the same time, a strike formation of Exocet battleships also began to spread its net in the Indian Ocean.

There are things that cannot be said, but they can be done.

For example, the Exocet battleship is a medium-sized warship of the Ming Dynasty, and the whole world knows that so far, the Exocet battleship has not been sold to any country or force, only this one.

However, the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty was lowered, and the battle flag of the Ming Royal Navy was lowered, and the skull flag of the pirates was directly hung, and this strike formation was transformed into a pirate fleet.

"Rich, seven fully loaded French armed merchant ships!"

"Rich ghost, it's all worthless stuff!"

Yes, the goods of these seven ships must be very valuable if they were to France, whether it be porcelain or tea on them, or silk.

But the problem is that even if the best Da Hong Pao is sold to the French, the French will not taste it, so the exported tea is generally of ordinary quality and sold in the Ming Dynasty.

As for silk, although it is worth a little money, the problem is that it burns too easily, and once it starts, all the fire is gone.

"Less fuss, carry out the order!"

Twelve flying fish, two against one is not enough, one on one is idle, so it is simple and trouble-free, free to shoot.

"Boom ......"

Exocet was a thousand paces away from the French armed merchant ship when the launch began.

The breech-loading rifled howitzer smashed firmly on the deck of the French armed merchant ship headed by it, several French sailors and black slaves were shattered on the spot, the blast wave of the explosion swept through, the rigging was torn alive, the mast was pushed down, and the barrels stacked near the gun emplacements exploded with a bang and exploded, and the whole warship was beaten to the sky in a blink of an eye.

Two Exocet four ships took out an armed merchant ship with a salvo of their guns.

The captain of the French armed merchant ship looked at this scene and simply wanted to cry without tears.

"We've met pirates!"

"Pirate fart, this is the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty!"

"We surrender!"
