Chapter 191: Three years
After the defeat in the Penghu Sea, the last vitality of the Zheng family was lost.
This sailor who followed Zheng Chenggong across the party and subdued Taiwan was completely defeated.
The ships were shattered, and the coach Liu Guoxuan felt shameless to see Jiangdong's fathers and elders, and killed himself by the side of the ship.
Soon, the ironclad fleet blockaded various ports, and the imperial navy completely blocked the isolated island of Taiwan.
And there were constantly large armies coming ashore, which began to further compress the living space of the Zheng family.
In the face of the empire's soldiers, the Zheng clan could only keep shrinking.
There is a huge age gap between each other's weapons, and the other party has almost no resistance, so he can only barely delay, and hurriedly sent someone to submit the surrender document.
Qin Wangfu.
"This Zheng Jing wants to be beautiful, and he still wants to be a marquis."
Looking at the letter from the cabinet in his hand, Fu Qiu pouted, quite speechless.
The content on the book is very respectful, and after realizing that he has no power to return to the sky, while he still has a little weight in his hand, this Prince Zheng naturally wants to sell it for a good price.
Su Quan covered his mouth and smiled on the side: "People are kings in the end, and it can be said that they are a first-class person." ”
Fu Qiu snorted coldly: "Lao Tzu hero, son bear." ”
mentioned Zheng Chenggong, Fu Qiu also sighed.
Even if he pushes up a generation, Zheng Zhilong is also a generation of heroes, how can there be such unfilial descendants?
Still not ruthless enough!
The reproductive ability is not strong enough!
If you want to learn from Fu Qiu, become a master of sending children, have many sons and many blessings, big waves and sands, fierce competition, even if you raise Gu, there will be a Gu King born in the end, right?
"Anyway, in the end, it is a descendant of Zheng Chenggong, and the marquis will be the marquis, how about An Lehou?"
"If you move the Zheng family to Beijing again, you can be honest for a lifetime, and you can also enjoy wealth."
Su Quan smiled: "Your Highness is merciful. ”
In June, Taiwan's Zheng clan descended a letter, was named An Lehou, and moved the Zheng family to Beijing, and the two sides of the strait have been unified since then.
Fu Qiu's gaze also looked further west, conquering the ocean was only the first step.
Not far away, there is another bug.
There is also a huge silver mine on it, which will be a powerful boost to the overseas gold rush era.
……
Three years later.
Woo woo woo~
On the sea, an ocean-going ship slowly arrived at the pier.
At this time, on the dock, there are many ships, and the black pressure is overwhelming, like a black cloud covering this sea area, giving people a strong sense of shock.
There was a constant flow of people, and there were many blondes, who were clearly from the rest of the West.
Many people came to Da Zhou for the first time, and at this time they saw the huge and prosperous city of Guangzhou, the towering and heavy city walls, and the ordinary people wearing silk fabrics that only nobles could wear...
How have they ever seen all these things?
They all showed stunned expressions.
Many people even thought that they had come to heaven and knelt down directly.
"God~ what a miracle empire."
"How can there be such a city? It must be the greatest city and the country of the country! ”
"The people here, they're so rich, everyone wears silk..."
The people of Da Zhou on the side looked at these strange-looking guys, and they were not surprised, showing disdainful expressions.
"It's a countryman from the West again."
"It's all a bunch of poor ghosts, all and!"
Since the empire's navy unified the two sides of the strait, starting from the Wa Kingdom, the empire officially began to explore the sea, and after the era of maritime colonization.
In recent years, among the people, the empire has also encouraged foreign trade exchanges and encouraged people to go to sea to pan for gold.
Many brave people went to the Imperial Ship Division to order a ship to go to sea, as well as a basic guarantee of force, and began their voyage to the sea.
All kinds of trade in the sea are becoming more and more common, and these coastal residents are also greatly expanded, and they are no longer strange when they see these Westerners.
They all knew that most of these blonde guys who got off the freighter were poor ghosts.
Perhaps they could only afford a ticket and set foot on a steamer to make a living in their paradise.
The real broad old, at least also built a luxury giant ship.
"It's boring."
"I heard that there was another mess on the Toyo route? The Li family's cargo ships were all robbed? ”
"Huh? It's not that group of pirates, they have all perished, and they can't be stopped. ”
"There's no way, the area of their island is so big, at the beginning, the blockade of the navy was difficult to complete, and there were a lot of Japanese robbers hiding on some small islands and mountains around them."
"The Li family is also a waste, and it was robbed by the Japanese robbers? The pirates don't even have a gun, they are actually being bullied? ”
"I heard that this time there are many Japanese people, and the Li family is on the return trip, the cargo ship is too long, and it came suddenly, the Li family didn't react, and in the end they could only abandon two cargoes."
"If you want me to say that the Japanese are indeed bold enough, they dare to be pirates when they step on a small sampan and hold a long knife."
"What do some of the Wokos know? If it weren't for the luck of meeting the Li family, they wouldn't have been able to defeat the escort team. ”
"No hurry! No hurry! Anyway, foreign trade is all handed over by the navy, there is a route protection order, in a few days, the navy will set off to exterminate the group of pirates, with good luck, it should be able to get it back. ”
"Even if you are unlucky, you can catch some Japanese slaves, and you can return to your roots."
"It's a pity, the island of those Japanese robbers is also very rich, and the first group of people also found a big silver mine on it, and those of us were born late."
"What's too late, the world is so big, and if you want to discover silver and gold mines, then take a boat and go to find a new island!"
"Over the years, haven't you always been a rich guy?"
At that time.
The naval base, on a huge battleship - the Daqin, on which the dragon flag hunted, and the terrifying caliber was chilling.
This is the latest battleship of the Empire, with a main size of 120.5 m x 26 m x 9.1 m, a standard displacement of 11,700 tons and 12,300 tons, a full load displacement of 19,400 tons and 12,900 tons, a power of 2 steam turbines, three-shaft propulsion, a maximum speed of 21 knots, a maximum endurance of 5,000 nautical miles, a main deck armor thickness of 80 to 120 mm, and the main armament is 4 twin 260 mm naval guns.
As an upgrade of the previous generation of battleships, this giant ship has just appeared on the stage of history, which is enough to meet the powerful suppressive power of the empire around the world, and it is expected that there will be no need to replace it in the next fifteen years.
Fu Qiu was standing on the deck of the giant ship, quietly blowing the sea breeze.
Zeng Rou took a report and shook his head: "Near Route No. 7, there are Japanese bandits entrenched again. ”
Fu Qiu didn't care: "It's a country anyway, although the country is gone, there are always some fish that have been caught in the net, and it just happens that there is a shortage of mining slaves in the west, so just pay it again." ”
Zeng Rou opened his mouth: "These widows have learned to be smart, as soon as we go to encircle and suppress, they will scatter and run into the mountains, go around in circles with us, and waste time." ”
Is it guerrilla warfare?
Fu Qiu laughed when he heard this: "What? Can't you win them?"
Zeng Rou shook his head: "Of course not, our navy has undergone severe training, and the weapons and logistics are all over them, so it is natural to win, but it is too troublesome and delays time!" ”
"It's still good back then, as soon as the giant ship goes and smashes their ship, they surrender, simply neatly."
Fu Qiu thought for a while: "The truth is in the range of the cannon, you think it takes time, naturally because the range is not far enough?" ”
Zeng Rou's eyes widened: "It's obviously enough." ”
Fu Qiu shook his head: "Forget it, you don't understand what I mean, it just so happens that there are a few new gadgets over there in the Engineering Institute, take you to see them, should it help?" ”
"Really?" When Zeng Rou heard this, she was suddenly a little curious.
Fu Qiu took her hand with a smile, went into his arms, and touched her Qiong's nose.
"Am I going to lie to you?"
"Oh, what's the matter? People are just curious. ”
