Chapter 429: Firearms are king
The two dynasties fought for two centuries, so much so that they were later generally considered to be two completely different states.
Even later, there was a distinction between North and South Vietnam.
Looking at the changes of the two dynasties, after all, the Zheng family is sorry for the Ruan family.
But there is no right or wrong in the world, it is nothing more than not being strong enough to eat the other party.
Just like now, Ruan Fuyuan's first reaction when he heard that Daming had invaded the Zheng clan was not to gloat, but to have some mixed feelings.
He immediately called his two sons, the second Ruan Fulan and the third Ruan Fulan.
The two sons also gasped after hearing this.
"Is Daming's fleet really so sharp? Just a dozen of them can wipe out all of Zheng Jie's warships?" Ruan Fuyu asked in surprise.
"In fact, only seven of their eighteen ships have attacked."
"Father, what you said is true?" The third child, Ruan Fuyu, said with a suspicious expression, looking confused.
"Stinky boy! Am I going to lie to you!?"
Ruan Fuyuan was about to get angry, Ruan Fuyuan hurriedly begged for mercy, but still said in disbelief:
"I've heard the red-haired ghost mention that Daming has a terrifying fleet before, but I've never seen it, so I thought it was a rumor."
"No! This is what the people below have seen with their own eyes. I have called you here to ask what you think on this matter." Ruan Fuyuan looked at his two sons, and there was a hint of teaching in his words.
"I think Zheng Jie is in danger this time." Ruan Fulan, who had been silent and had not spoken, said in a low tone.
"Oh? Tell me about it!"
Ruan Phuc Yuan looked at his second son with interest.
said that he was the second son, but in fact he is now his eldest son, because the eldest son was gone a few years ago.
He was already old, and he felt that he would not live long, and among his many sons, only two in front of him could take on the great responsibility. But I heard that the third child seems to have some other thoughts, and I don't know if the second child will be able to hold it down in the future.
"Not only is Zheng Jie dangerous, I'm afraid we're also unstable. It is essential to prepare early."
"Second brother, you're a little worried. Let's not talk about whether Daming can win the Northern Dynasty, even if Daming is powerful, is it possible that he can still fight on multiple fronts and eat us together? Where is history, how many times has Daming wanted to get involved and didn't all come home? This time, it's done?"
Ruan Fuyu sneered, obviously disagreeing with his brother's opinion.
"Third brother. Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, it is obvious to conclude that the Ming Dynasty was far more powerful than we imagined. As long as they want to kill us or not, they can't kill us. And now, I'm afraid we've met an emperor who desperately wants to kill us and bring the whole of Jiaozhi into the Ming Dynasty."
"But..." Ruan Fuyuan wanted to interrupt the second brother's speech, but Ruan Fuyuan raised his hand to stop him.
He bowed his head silently, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, but disappeared again when he lifted it up.
"Father, three places. This matter has to start with the succession of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. The battle between us and the Zheng clan was not because Zheng Jie felt that there were border troubles outside the northern border of the Ming Dynasty and the country was declining, and he had no time to take care of him, so he wanted to attack without any worries. If Da Ming is still strong, he may have to weigh it. ….
But it didn't take long for the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow to pass away, and everyone thought that the newly enthroned Chongzhen was a young man, and he was very good at it. However, he repeatedly broke the convention, and soon took the court into his own hands. He also founded the Royal Military Academy to train a large number of die-hard young generals, and over the years, military cadets have become the backbone of the Ming Army. Emperor Chongzhen's control over local armaments also became stronger and stronger.
Not only that, but his greatest characteristic is his love for firearms.
As soon as he took office, he reused several officials who were good at making firearms, and just when everyone thought that the emperor was not doing his job, they actually concocted a musket fired with flint. In the second year, when Jiannu entered the customs, he showed his might, and beat Huang Taiji to a half-crippled heart. Since then, Jiannu has no longer been able to go south
, the turtle cowered in Liaodong and did not dare to go south. It was not until a few years later that it was wiped out by the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty.
So far, no one dares to say that the emperor is a plaything, and he loves strange tricks. Because Emperor Chongzhen not only likes to make firearms, but also likes to kill. It is said that he gave his Jinyi guards a death order, and every time in a period of time, he had to arrest the officials who committed the crime, and personally peel the skin and cramp. It is said that the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not even dare to speak casually when they went to court, because they might move their heads if they said the wrong sentence. I heard that the most powerful people in their cabinet have also become echo worms, and everyone jokingly calls them the old group of the Paper Paste Pavilion.
Emperor Chongzhen's control over the court was unprecedentedly strong, and another of his personality traits began to be revealed.
He had a paranoid pursuit of expanding his territory, and Liaodong, Korea, Taiwan, and Luzon were annexed by him one by one. If we open the map, we can clearly see that Emperor Chongzhen's claws will inevitably extend to the south next, and Nanzhang, Siam, Cambodia, and even the Taungoo Dynasty and Rakhine are all trembling under his claws.
I really can't understand what kind of ambitious leopard guts Zheng Jie has eaten, and he dares to provoke this behemoth in this situation! They can wipe out the Zheng Clan's naval army with seven warships, they must have sharp artillery, I'm afraid it is even sharper than those red-haired ghosts in Europa! This can be seen from the fact that they easily settled in Luzon for hundreds of years.
And this time they dared to land with more than 10,000 soldiers, it must be equipped with a new type of flintlock musket that defeated Jiannu, it is said that ordinary arquebuses shoot one round of kung fu This musket can shoot five shots, think about that scene, how terrifying.
The development trend of the future battlefield must be that firearms are king! I've been asking someone to get a new musket of this kind, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty has very strict control, and I haven't been able to get it until now. So, I guess it's true. This time, Zheng Jie, it's in trouble!"
After Ruan Fulan's words were finished, Ruan Fuyuan was stunned, and Ruan Fuyuan was also stunned.
Listening to his analysis, it seems that Zheng Jie is in a catastrophe this time, and it seems that he has no more days to live.
"After talking about it for a long time, what does it have to do with us? He didn't attack us." Although Ruan Fuyu admired it in his heart, he was not convinced, and habitually retorted.
But he didn't know that with his words, he completely buried his position as heir.
In terms of vision alone, the third son I have always liked is too much worse than the second son.
"Third brother, you should know the truth of the cold lips and teeth, although we and Zheng Jie are enemies at the moment, but what about the future? If the Zheng clan is destroyed, will our Nguyen clan still be good?"
"What then? Could it be that you can help Zheng Jie beat the Ming people!?"
"It's not impossible!"
Ruan Fulan said softly.
