Chapter 479: Naval Battle, Vulnerable
In May, the Portuguese fleet crossed the Indian Ocean and reached the vicinity of the island of Java.
The warships of the Ming Dynasty lined up in the waters west of Java Island, and the sound of hula propellers came from behind, and the planes taking off from the island circled densely over the heads of the Portuguese fleet, and with Tan Yuan's order, the planes circling up from the northwest corner of Australia to the southwest of Java Island fired wildly at the Portuguese warships, throwing cannonballs like raindrops.
More than 300 warships swept a large area, at this time in a rain of bullets, the mast broke, the deck into the water, a huge wave rushed, the sea began to boil, forming a huge whirlpool, one after another warships were sucked by the whirlpool, before they had time to make a face with the warships of the Ming Dynasty, they rolled in the sea, and the sea surface was like dumplings.
The warship that was trailing at the end saw that this was not good, and quickly turned around and ran.
On the plane, after seeing it, Daming's pilot hurriedly flew over, fired directly at the warship, and threw the shells over without money.
"It's water, it's water, drain it quickly!" The captain didn't care to return fire at the plane, he saw that the rest of the warships were all destroyed, and when he saw that one warship had sunk on the sea, the other warships would sink as long as they were hit slightly, and his heart was firmly grasped by fear, and he jumped to his feet and shouted for the soldiers to drain the water from the warship.
The Ming pilot couldn't help but laugh when he saw that they were starting to rescue the warship, he circled around the warship, and saw that the machine gun shot the captain to the ground, and then, a shell hit the hole, the warship crumbled, and the warship became a pot of porridge.
Someone escaped in a small boat, and at this moment, the warship cocked its head, and when the water overflowed to a certain extent, the warship was caught in the sea, and a huge whirlpool formed, which instantly engulfed the warship.
The plane circled for a while and flew back towards Benwei Island.
This battle can be said to be a complete victory, and the Ming Dynasty annihilated more than 300 warships without spending a single soldier, such a record is simply unimaginable.
The pilots got off the plane, and when they met, they were so happy with each other that they high-fived each other as they had done before.
Tan Yuan witnessed this sea battle with his own eyes, he didn't expect it to be so easy, and the heart that had been hanging all this time fell, and said with a smile, "Everyone, do not disgrace the mission, there is a celebration banquet in the town, let's drink!" ”
"Let's go, let's drink!"
Alexis and others heard that more than 300 Portuguese warships were coming, and these people had a blood feud with their natives, so they took their weapons and ambushed them on the docks, preparing to wait for the Portuguese soldiers to come ashore and come to an ambush.
They saw the Portuguese warships floating on the sea, so they took their weapons and stood on the shore, but when they saw the Portuguese soldiers coming, they shot at them, and their homemade bows and arrows killed many of the soldiers who fled.
This made Alexis and the others very happy, their hatred, after so many years, finally had a day of revenge.
When the news reached Portugal and more than 300 warships were destroyed, João I was furious, looking at his depressed son, and he asked, "Enrique, why is this Ming so powerful?" Are their weapons much higher than ours? ”
"No!" Enrique cheered up, "Father, if our weapons are not as good as those of the Great Ming, then we can develop better weapons." ”
After Enrique went through his previous life, he knew why the Qing government had to cede land again and again and pay compensation? Because you are backward, you will be beaten if you are backward!
He didn't want this doom to end up on Portugal, nor did he want it to befall England, one for his present country, the other for his previous life, and he hoped that one day he would be able to conquer every corner of the world in the most powerful ship in the world.
It can be seen from the pictures sent back from the satellite that the country in the west is very calm, and there is no longer a picture of the deployment of troops, Zhu Gaoxian smiled, his finger lightly nodded on the picture, and he counted a total of more than a dozen places, "Ask San Bao, when will our aircraft carriers be able to test the water?" ”
With drawings and the best steel, it was only a matter of time before an aircraft carrier was built for the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Fu hurriedly went to call, and when he came back, he said, "Your Highness, Manager Ma said that it will take some time." ”
"Well, tell him, there's no hurry."
A call came from the palace, Zhu Gaoxian had not been back for two years, Zhu Di had recently been infected with a cold, and Zhu Gaoxian was very anxious when he learned about it.
Historically, his father lived only sixty-four years.
It is now the nineteenth year of Yongle, and although it is still early before his father's death, Zhu Gaoxian hopes that his father will be able to live longer after not having five royal expeditions and not so much trouble.
"Take your time and stay safe!" Before Zhu Gaoxian left the Jiuquan base, he said to Wang Fu and others who came to see him off, "Portugal is recuperating, and we should not rush for quick success, the step is too big, it is easy to have a big accident, and all safety is the first." ”
In the palace, Zhu Gaochu was serving beside Zhu Di, when Zhu Gaoxian's train arrived at the station, the train station hurriedly called the palace, Zhu Di learned about it, he got up from the bed, he said excitedly, "Second brother, you hurry up and pick up your brother, he hasn't been home for two years!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu said in his heart, his younger brother has not returned home for two years, and it is impossible to find his way home, in which direction the palace gate opens, doesn't he know?
Zhu Gaoxu put down the bowl of medicine, "Dad, you lie on the bed, you are not sick, just to bring the fourth brother back, the fourth brother has a lot of things, I know that you are talking to him, and I don't know how to get angry!" ”
Zhu Di heard this, and kicked at Zhu Gaoxu, "Who is pretending to be sick?" I'm old, and I don't want to have a headache and brain fever? ”
Install the latest version. 】
After all, Zhu Di still lay down on the bed and began to hum and chirp.
When Zhu Gaoxu went out, Zhu Gaoxuan had already rushed in quickly, and asked all the way, "How is my father?" How did you get caught the wind chill and how to take care of it? ”
"Hey, young boy, the prince, the slaves and maids are waiting carefully, saying that the peach is cold, let the emperor not eat it, the emperor is greedy, he has to eat, and he will feel uncomfortable after eating."
Zhu Di's old face turned red when he heard this, and he coughed heavily, Zhu Gaoxian's heart jumped when he heard it, and he threw himself in front of the bed, crying in his voice, "Dad, how do you feel?" The son is not filial! ”
Zhu Gaoxian's eyes turned red, and Zhu Di was about to get up, "Dad is fine anywhere, don't listen to their nonsense, Dad is not sick, he can eat and drink, what's wrong?" ”
