Chapter 96: Your Goal! A sea of stars! (6K asks for a monthly pass!) )
'Faerie Fantasy! ’
'A war from 400 years later! ’
'A war to plunder silver! ’
Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Lao Si and the other princes of heaven, as well as Dao Yan, who came with them, all stabilized their minds from the panic after hearing Ji Boying's voice, and quickly calmed down.
Ji Boying glanced at the gang.
One thing I have to admit is that the stability of the hearts of these princes of heaven in the first few dynasties of the founding of the People's Republic of China is far beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
The roaring artillery fire continued, and the ships on this side of the coast were sunk one after another, and the whole battle began to heat up.
Lao Zhu and the others seemed to have been completely immersed in this naval battle.
With the battlefield acumen of Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, and Zhu Laosi, who are good at fighting, it only took more than ten seconds to judge the final trend of this naval battle.
"This is not a reciprocal naval battle at all."
"Whether it is in terms of the equipment of the warships, the quality of the soldiers, or the command ability of the army commanders, the two sides are completely not at the same level."
This sense of immersion, and at the same time the perspective of God, can see the whole battle situation at a glance.
Old Zhu Di is completely used to it, although when the cannonballs fly towards him, he will still subconsciously dodge, but after learning that all this is an illusion, there is no longer the fear in his eyes as before.
"That's right, this is obviously an offshore defensive battle, the attacking side is extremely strong, and the defending side, whether it is ships or soldiers, is very different."
"Completely crushed."
"The line of defense can only be broken in an instant."
Zhu Laosi also said in a condensed voice.
"These monkeys with colorful hair look like Furlong Robots."
Xiao Zhu Si touched his chin, everyone else was observing the dynamics of the battle, only this one was concentrating on observing the human race.
"Father, look at these warships."
"Each one is equipped with at least fifty, or even nearly a hundred, cannons, and the cannons on this side of the coastline are very similar to our standard cannons, both in size and muzzle, but they are far less powerful."
Ah Biao was beside Lao Zhu, raised his hand and pointed to the warships on both sides and the gun towers on the coastline, frowning and analyzing.
"Father, you see, on the side with braids, even if the cannon is bombarded on the Yiren's warship, it will not be able to break through the Yiren's ship, and the gap between their ordnance is too big."
Emperor Hongxi and Hongxi Xiaozhu, Emperor Xuande and Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu also heard Zhu Biao's analysis, and they all looked towards the cannons of the braids.
Sure enough, it is the same as what Zhu Biao said.
Whether it is the cannons on the braided warship or the cannons on the coastal defense line, these cannons that look very heavy and look extremely powerful cannons cannons can't even penetrate the opponent's shipboard when they shoot out.
If you can't even break through the defense, you can't talk about winning.
It's like two people dueling in a gladiatorial arena.
A man dressed in heavy, all-encompassing steel puncture-resistant armor and carrying a long knife made of meteoric iron.
On the other hand, wearing a half-leather and half-iron armor that doesn't even have a helmet, he is holding a short kitchen knife in his hand, and he can't cut the other party, not to mention, even if he does, at most he will leave a knife mark on the opponent's armor.
Under this kind of equipment gap, there is no suspense about the outcome of the duel at all, and even a three-year-old child can see the success or failure in a word.
The artillery fire is still burning.
This crushing naval battle continued, the attacking side had begun to approach the coast, and the defending ships were almost completely lost.
"The Yiren in your mouth are from England."
Ji Boying patted the little hands of pity and cherished the jade, signaling them to feel at ease and not to be afraid, and the two sisters slowly let go of Ji Boying's arm, and their watery eyes were still full of nervousness.
"Eagle Country?"
"Brother, are there many eagles in this Eagle Country?"
If you don't understand, just ask.
This is one of the key qualities that Lao Zhu was able to rise quickly when he started his business.
Although Lao Zhu quickly threw away this good quality after ascending the throne, here in Ji Boying, he picked it up again.
"Eagle Country is another country, and this is England."
After Ji Boying finished this paragraph, he felt that he was talking nonsense.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's era was still more than 300 years away from the War of Independence of the Eagle Country, and the land of Eagle Sauce was still full of Indians wearing animal skins.
"Britain, an island country in the west, has an area about the size of Guangxi."
In an instant, the smile on Lao Zhu's face froze.
How big is Guangxi? Or an island nation?!
"How can such a small and narrow country have such a powerful warship?!"
Not only did Lao Zhu not believe it, but Lao Zhu Di and others were also stunned when they heard it.
In their opinion, to have such a powerful naval army, it must be a country of the same magnitude as the Ming Dynasty, how can it be an island country.
After all, in their impression, the island country should be similar to the Japanese country, as long as they find the right time to cross the sea, they can be destroyed after going ashore.
Ji Boying swept away the astonishment on the faces of Lao Zhu and the others.
It was difficult for him to explain to Lao Zhu and others that when they entered the capitalist society, when they entered industrialization, and when the productive forces began to mechanize, the land area was no longer one of the main factors in measuring national strength.
Since it is difficult to explain, Ji Boying is too lazy to explain it now.
"Immortal Master, which country are these braided ones from?"
"I listened to their shouts, and I seemed to understand some of them, but I couldn't understand them all, and it was so ugly to wear them in braids."
Yongle Da Fat asked, and when Xiao Zhu Si was observing the British monkey, his eyes fell on the braid.
There is still a big difference between the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty and the official dialect of the Qing Dynasty.
"Qing Dynasty."
"Well, that is, the next dynasty after your Ming, the dynasty established by the Jurchens."
Ji Boying said lightly.
Bang...!
This is the first time that these princes of heaven have heard the name of the next dynasty after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi, Emperor Hong Xi, Emperor Xuande, Emperor Jingtai, and other princes, even the monk Daoyan shrank his pupils, and even the Hong Zhong that was visually covered in the sea of the center of the artillery battle of the two fleets made a knocking sound inside.
"Is this true?!"
Lao Zhu's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were condensed.
He has thought that the day when the sun will set in the Ming Dynasty, after all, there is no immortal dynasty in this world, even if it is the Han Dynasty, Tang and Li, the era that was once so strong, it is also the final curtain call to the world.
But he never thought of it.
He rose from a small end and worked hard for so many years, and finally drove the group of sheep herding Tartars out of the Han family land and restored the Han dynasty.
After the Ming Dynasty, the land of the Han family was unexpectedly owned by a foreign race, and it was a Jurchen savage!
If the Warat Tatars were still an opponent in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty and could be taken seriously by the Ming Dynasty, then the Jurchens were not looked down upon at all, and they were completely barbarians.
From the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens have never been regarded as opponents.
The Jurchens of the Ming Dynasty were divided into Jianzhou, Haixi, and Savage, among which Jianzhou and Haixi reluctantly evolved under the influence of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to hunting and nomadism, they were also engaged in farming, and had begun to transition from the end of the clan society to the slave society.
But the savage Jurchen, that is, the proper savage, a group of primitive people who lived in the mountains and fields, and drank blood.
"Well, the Qing Manchu rose in Jianzhou Jurchen."
Ji Boying is really indifferent to braids, which is why he changed the channel as soon as he watched the Qing palace drama.
Naturally, I didn't want to mention the past of this braid, so I didn't continue to say it at this point.
However, these words fell into the hearts of Lao Zhu, the prince of heaven, and everyone's eyes were full of murderous intent, and they had already made up their minds to destroy the Jurchens in their lifetime.
Even if the Jurchens can't be completely extinguished, no matter how much military spending is spent, troops must be sent to suppress them for generations, so as not to give these Jurchen savages any chance to rise.
"I'll ask you."
"What will happen if the Ming army meets this British army in front of you."
Ji Boying said a word.
Old Zhu paused, and finally just sighed.
Even Emperor Yongle, who had the strongest navy in the world, fell silent.
Although the Yongle Dynasty had the largest and strongest fleet in the world, it was limited to the world in the Yongle period, and in the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was no big leap in the development of firearms.
Technical flaws are difficult to make up.
Of course, unless there is a strong spiritual support, use a large amount of manpower and countless lives to pile up.
But the casualties of victory in that way were too tragic.
"Their artillery, it's amazing."
Hong Xi Zhu Zhanji said a fact in a deep voice.
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of battle mode, and all the previous military books have never recorded such similar battle examples."
"There was almost no contact between the warships, and they were all just bombarded with long-range artillery fire."
These words fell in Lao Zhu's ears, and Lao Zhu thought so.
The battle he fought against the world back then was the water battle with Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake.
In Lao Zhu's concept, the artillery fire and bows and arrows of water warfare are essentially just the last straw to assist and overwhelm the enemy.
After all, the range of artillery and bows and arrows is extremely limited, and if you want to win a big victory in the end, you still have to rely on the soldiers to desperately charge and kill.
"Hand-to-hand combat will eventually be eliminated by history."
Ji Boying ended with a word.
At this time, the coastal defense line of the Qing army had been completely broken by British artillery.
'Huh'.
When the coastline was breached and a large number of British captains drove in, the picture was also frozen at this moment, and the 36D holographic projection was turned off.
The sound of artillery fire, the sound of the waves and the wind, and the screams of the Qing army all came to an abrupt end.
The surrounding classroom environment is back to normal.
Everything is like a dream.
This group of princes of heaven were all stunned in their respective seats.
After a long time, they gradually came to their senses one by one, and everyone's faces still showed a sense of unfinished meaning.
"This fairy fantasy realm is really too realistic."
"No, it's more real than real!"
Old Zhu Di took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of the immortal master's mystery.
"Brother, this kind of illusion, let's suggest coming a few more times in the future, it's too enjoyable."
Lao Zhu smiled, his eyes full of anticipation for the next time.
"Yes, yes, the immortal master will come a few more times."
Xiao Zhu Si also grinned and followed.
As for the others, even if they didn't say anything, the expectation in their eyes said it all.
Even pity and pity the jade, they are looking at Ji Boying with tenderness and beauty.
They went from initial fear to shock, and in the end, both of them looked directly at their heads.
It's like seeing black-and-white TV for the first time in the eighties and nineties, and the impact is indescribable.
What's more,This kind of 36D holographic projection,It's definitely not a black and white TV、Color TV、LCD TV,It's not a later generation4D、5D and the like can be compared。
The main thing is an immersive one.
It's normal.
Only the bell would have struck twice.
Xia Yuanji in it looked confused, what are you talking about? What is too realistic?
I didn't see anything!
I really want to see it!!
On the podium, Ji Boying swept past these unfinished princes of heaven.
He felt that these princes of heaven were like when they were studying, and the teacher suddenly showed a VCR to the students, even if they were looking at the dissecting mice, the students could see the intracranial flying one by one.
"Hmm."
Ji Boying nodded and didn't say much.
"Now that I'm done, tell me what you saw in it."
As soon as the words came out, there was silence.
Everyone who was still very active put away their smiles and shut up immediately.
It's like the teacher finishes a VCR and then says, who will come up and solve this analytic geometry.
"I know!"
Xiao Zhu Sijing flashed and took the initiative to stand up.
"The Immortal Master has already said that this is a war that should have happened more than four hundred years later, that is to say, what is Britain not strong now."
"So, we're going to destroy this Britain now! To prevent future troubles! ”
Ji Boying glanced at Xiao Zhu Si.
'Good fellow, so many stupid people, you kid has a good brain, why don't you destroy the earth?' ’
"Before the immortal master, the fourth child had to talk nonsense."
Zhu Biao, a good student, stood up and gave Xiao Zhu Si a look in his eyes, and then looked at Ji Boying.
"Immortal Master, I saw the necessity of developing a naval army from the illusion of Chinese talents."
Since the Qin Emperor ruled the world, the main military strength of the empire in all dynasties and generations has been concentrated in the army, although there are more or less involved in the navy, but unless the navy is urgently needed, it is generally only retained as a regular army, and will not invest too much energy in construction.
And this, understandable.
Most of the time they fought in various parts of the north, mainly relying on land troops, and the defense and conquest of foreign races to the west and north also relied on land battles in depth.
Geography and the times determine the form of warfare in the era of cold weapons, and there is basically no need for a naval army.
Before the First Battle of Poyang Lake in the Ming Dynasty, the more famous large-scale water battles were only the Battle of Chibi, and the naval army of the Battle of Chibi was actually urgently trained by Boss Cao, and would not be used as a standing army.
After the Ming Dynasty set the world, the main threat to the Ming Dynasty came from northern Mongolia, and the naval army was naturally shelved, and the army once again dominated.
When he arrived in Yongle, because Yongle went to the Western Ocean, he spent a lot of money to build a navy that could sail far, and the Ming Navy at this time could really be called a navy, not a navy.
But the glory of the Ming Navy is also limited to Yongle.
When he arrived in Hong Xi Xuande, Zheng He would only go to the West for the last time, because the cost of maintaining the navy was too great, and he began to reduce it one after another.
Later, the navy of the Ming Dynasty began to shrink one after another, and after a few decades it returned to a state that was no different from other dynasties, and the opportunity for the sun never to set was missed in vain.
"Well, that's one, but it's not all."
Ji Boying nodded, and his gaze continued to sweep over the others.
"Is there any?"
A word, silent.
Ji Boying's brows furrowed.
"To show you things, not to let you simply look at them, but to mobilize your brains to think about problems!"
"If you don't answer again, I'll call for names."
Ji Boying's tone was a little harsh, and the eyes of these princes of heaven became even more evasive, all of them lowered their heads, hoping not to be named.
After sweeping around, Ji Boying's gaze finally fell on Zhu Laosi, and at this moment, Zhu Laosi suddenly felt like a man's back, and he couldn't sit still.
"Immortal Master, can the old man answer?"
Next to him, Dao Yan suddenly spoke.
Zhu Laosi: Mom, I'm scared to death of this king, the master's life-saving grace is unforgettable!
"Hmm."
Ji Boying nodded.
"The old man thinks that the revelation given to us by the fairy illusion is the importance of firearms."
As soon as he said it, Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, and Zhu Lao Si all looked stunned, and then their eyes flashed.
Especially Lao Zhu Di, he realized instantly.
The Shenji Battalion he created is the world's first firearms unit, his first Northern Expedition and the Second Northern Expedition, how powerful the role of firearms is in it, no one has more experience than Lao Zhu Di.
"Not bad."
"That's a good point."
Ji Boying glanced at the bald head more.
Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed national teacher, really has a few brushes on this bald head, at least his brain is brighter than ordinary people, is it because he is extremely smart?
After motioning for Dao Yan to sit down, Ji Boying swept over the princes of heaven.
"In the next few hundred years, the strength of firearms will determine the outcome of a war."
"You must clearly understand that cold weapons will eventually be eliminated, and the future era of war will definitely be the age of firearms."
"And you have also seen from the illusion of the future, after more than 400 years of development, the cannons used are still red-coat cannons, and the iterative crushing of this firearm cannot be filled."
"In the last class, we talked about the military system, and we talked about the core of the military system is strong combat power."
"Firearms are the simplest, most direct way to obtain powerful combat power, as long as the Ming firearms are ahead of the world for fifty years, then no country in the world can stop the Ming Iron Cavalry, and they will crawl under the Ming Dragon Banner."
Originally, Ji Boying wanted to talk about Iron and Steel Daming, but after thinking about it, the conceptual discussion of this word is too advanced, and now it is too supernatural to explain the meaning of Iron and Steel Daming.
These words came out.
Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Lao Si, the chests of these princes of heaven are all fluctuating violently.
Conquer the world!
Let the whole world prostrate under the Daming Dragon Banner!
For the emperor, this is simply a dream out of reach, but it is really a temptation that cannot be refused.
"Therefore, from now on, you must vigorously develop firearms with the strength of the whole country."
Lao Zhu took a deep breath and exhaled a long breath.
"We see."
Then he swept away the other princes of heaven and stopped drinking.
"Do you understand?!"
Suddenly, everyone's waists straightened.
"Got it!"
Judging from their enlightened eyes, this time, they should really understand it, after all, this paragraph is not difficult to understand.
"Of course, firearms are just an incidental part of the illusion just now."
"The main core content to be expressed, none of the dozen or so of you can see it, not even the edge."
"I'm disappointed with you."
Ji Boying said lightly.
When these words came out, the princes of heaven who had just been beaten with chicken blood wilted in an instant.
Before they met the Immortal Master, they had never felt that their brains were not enough like this.
Monk Daoyan also frowned, brushing his beard back and forth.
"Brother, is there anything else?"
Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, obviously not figuring it out.
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu, and then frowned.
"This knowledge point, I actually mentioned it in the first class, it seems that none of you listened carefully, just the way you guys look like you, what are you talking about?!"
Groov.
The head of the Prince of Heaven drooped even lower.
Only Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu didn't feel it, because he really hadn't heard of it.
"I said before the illusion began, this is a war that grabs the silver."
"More than 400 years later, Britain implemented the gold standard, although Britain did not use silver, but they needed to use silver to buy a large number of materials from other countries, and dump their own domestic unsalable goods, which required silver as a medium currency."
"And more than four hundred years later, nearly half of the world's silver is in the land under your feet."
"Guess how far the British mainland is from the Ming Dynasty."
Ji Boying knew that Lao Zhu and others couldn't understand the gold standard, so they didn't mention in depth the logic of Britain using 'crows' to economically plunder the silver of the Qing Dynasty in order to open the door of the Qing Dynasty, and he just mentioned it in passing.
"One, a thousand miles?"
"Three thousand miles?"
"Five thousand miles? It should be about the same. ”
“…………”
The princes of heaven all answered subconsciously.
Ji Boying swept his eyes and spoke lightly.
"Twenty thousand miles."
The straight-line distance between Great Britain and the Ming Dynasty is seven or eight thousand kilometers, and the sea voyage is even more.
'Twenty thousand miles! ’
Lao Zhu was so shocked that he almost didn't fall off the chair, and the others were even more stunned, even Lao Zhu Di was stunned, and the farthest voyage in the Western Ocean was more than 10,000 miles.
Monk Daoyan was originally pinching his beard, but when he heard this, he pulled a handful down, and his face twitched in pain.
"So."
Ji Boying's tone was stunned.
"I let you enter the fairy fantasy realm today, I hope you can see the future era, the age of discovery!"
"Remember, you are the leader, you are the helmsman of the Ming Dynasty, you must have a long-term vision, you must be broad, and you should not be limited to the current one-third of an acre."
"Your goal is the sea of stars."
