Chapter 221: Wang Zhi, the general of the Ming Jinghai, pointed at Barcelona!
"This "Shangdong Fulong Sutra" is a good cultivation method!"
Jiajing Dynasty, in the palace of nourishing the heart.
Zhu Houxi expressed his heartfelt admiration.
Although he has already practiced the "Yellow Emperor's Heart Sutra", it does not prevent Zhu Houyu from studying this "Shangdong Fulong Sutra".
After all, the cultivation methods of these two books are completely different.
However, since this is an immortal classic, it naturally proves that those who do not have a spiritual vein cannot study it, which is a big setback for the other emperors in the Ming chat group.
But......
Zhu Houxi saw several moves and spells he applied on the last few pages of the "Shangdong Fulong Sutra", which only needed to be driven by aura, except for several core needs to be urged by the "Shangdong Fulong Sutra", and the others did not need to be urged by the "Shangdong Fulong Sutra".
"If that's the case, then wouldn't it be possible to use the 'Suiren's Breathing Method' as a power source to urge these moves and techniques?"
Zhu Houxi's heart moved, and he immediately prepared to practice.
Suiren's breathing method, Zhu Houxi will naturally also.
After all, the Suiren's breathing method learned by other emperors in the Ming Emperor's chat group was translated by Zhu Houxi, in this case, how could Zhu Houyu not understand the Suiren's breathing method?
However, before the retreat, Zhu Houxi still had a few things to do.
"It's time to extract what you just got, I'm Jiajing, I should run into industrialization!"
β¦β¦
Barcelona, Spanish Empire.
The pleasant scenery and exotic port made David, the governor of Venice not far away, feel a little deeply nostalgic.
"Great port, great city."
David spoke in a strange Heavenly Empire dialect, and said with affection: "It's just that soon, this will be my Ming territory." β
Although I don't know why His Majesty the Emperor gave himself the official position of 'Governor of Venice', an Italian official, but he told him to fight Spain first, but it doesn't matter, as long as he can be a master, David doesn't care what his identity is.
David, now extremely arrogant and inflated.
The reason for his arrogance and inflatation is also very simple.
When he set out, he was tasked with opening the way, so there were only seven wrecked ships on the way.
However, before he left the confines of Asia, the Fujian and Dengzhou sailors had already converged and joined the fleet of the Venetian governor, and also appointed a Ming Jinghai general named 'Wang Zhi' to go to Spain.
However, when they arrived in India, the Dengzhou Naval Division broke away from the ranks and launched an attack on India under the leadership of another general named 'Nong Boyuan'.
Nong Boyuan, commander of the Xianwu camp.
The Xianwu battalion is one of the twelve regimental battalion sequences, the elite of the Ming elite, the Xianwu battalion is in India, and it can be said that a fully armed strong man rushed into the kindergarten with an AK.
And Wang Zhi, the general of Jinghai in the Ming Dynasty, is the leading pirate in the coastal area, but after he saw the first fleet and the second fleet of the emperor, he decisively chose to serve the Ming Dynasty, led the Ming Dynasty to exterminate many pirate dens, and immediately cleared himself and successfully joined the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, he was also appointed governor of Spain and decided to make contributions in Spain and fight for the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, among the Fujian sailors, in addition to the real Fujian sailors, there are more than 20,000 people, all of whom are Wang Zhi's pirate brothers, who sharpen their knives and plan to land in Spain to grab a wave.
However, in contrast, Wang Zhi's brothers are still relatively kind.
The truly brutal pirates have become the military merits of the Ming Navy, and Wang Zhi appeared at sea most of the time in the form of collecting protection money.
But even so, Zhu Houxi has a general attitude towards Wang Zhi's group, which is why he sent them to Spain to attack.
As we all know, going overseas is the easiest thing to do.
In this huge fleet, only 1,500 officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy Division can be regarded as the Ming Dynasty's own people, and before Wang Zhi set off, Zhu Houxi also showed Wang Zhi a hand of 'miracles', asking him to weigh the price of betraying the Ming Dynasty, and also let him weigh how to treat the orthodox officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
However, it can only be said that although Zhu Houxi has taken a lot of precautions, it is useless for Wang Zhi.
Because Wang Zhi has really returned to the Ming Dynasty.
First, because the Wei Qing ship and Huo Qubing ship of the first fleet of the Emperor Ming and the second fleet of the emperor are too scary, this is equivalent to a small fishing boat encountering two aircraft carriers, with the surrounding frigates, it is simply not a heavyweight, Wang Zhi believes that with such a configuration of the Ming army, it is useless for him to hide to the ends of the earth.
Another reason is because Wang Zhi already knows that as long as the generals who have made military achievements for the Ming Dynasty will get the opportunity to study extraordinary strength!
That Yu Dayou, Mao Bowen, Guo Xun, Zheng Chenggong, etc., have already practiced, and it is said that after the already fierce Yu Dayou got extraordinary strength, he was even more out of control and had become a famous existence.
Not only can you get great power, but you can also prolong your life!
This is the most crazy thing for Wang Zhi.
Therefore, he had already made up his mind to spare no effort to conquer Spain.
Moreover, Wang Zhi is very confident in this process.
Because His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty gave him four ironclad ships.
Although two of them are in the hands of Fujian sailors, and only two are in charge of themselves, this kind of firepower is enough.
Of course, these four ironclad ships are all first-generation warships produced by Zhu Houxi's Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, and they are relatively weak warships in the ironclad fleet, especially in the face of the Weiqing ship and Huo Quai's ship, which are no different from other warships, but compared to the current level of science and technology, it is enough to crush.
This is Wang Zhi's confidence!
"General Jinghai, what should we do next?"
David, the governor of Venice and the minister of Western trade of the Ming Dynasty, asked Wang Zhi on the side in an incoherent manner.
And Wang Zhiyan heard this, although he felt that the accent of this foreign devil was a little strange, but he also said very confidently: "Shelling Bass Arona, forcing this Spaniard to cede this place to us by force, this will be the first port of my Ming Dynasty in the West!" β
David hesitated: "But our army ......"
"It doesn't matter, Spain is keen on the slave trade, and before leaving, General Ben has received an edict from His Majesty that slaves can be recruited on the spot, and the 'Unsullied' legion can be formed to deal with the Spaniards on the spot."
Although I don't know what this 'innocent' means, but after all, it was the name given by the Son of Heaven, so Wang Zhi used it like this, and at the same time said: "Your Majesty also has an edict, that is, to order us to loot Western calligraphy and paintings, antiques, jewelry, etc., and ship them to Beijing, Your Majesty wants to establish a Ming Museum in Beijing, and needs treasures from all over the world to display." β
After that, Wang Zhi smiled at David and said: "Governor David, this general does not know the treasures of the West, and I hope that Governor David can take this matter to heart, if it is done well, Your Majesty may not make Governor David king." β
Hearing Wang Zhi's words, David's heart was also overjoyed for a while, and he seemed to have imagined that he would be able to become a king one day.
That's great, that's great!
It is possible for a person like me to become a king in Daming, our Daming is really powerful!
After all, for the Ming Dynasty, who already has three worlds, it is no longer a luxury to be crowned king, although it is very difficult, but if he has made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, he can now be crowned king.
Although since His Majesty ascended the throne, none of the princes have been crowned, but as far as the current progress is concerned, many marquis are about to accumulate the merits of the duke, and after the duke wins, is it far from being crowned king?
Not only is David from the Netherlands, but even Wang Zhi is delusional that he can one day tear the soil and become the king, and glorify his ancestors.
Although he has always been known as the 'One Piece of the Ming Dynasty' in the outside world, it is just a title after all, and it is not true.
Now that he has become the governor of Spain in the Ming Dynasty and the general of Jinghai, although he does not have a knighthood, Wang Zhi believes that he will have a knighthood soon.
As long as you win Spain and open up the first overseas market of Daming, at least you can be a marquis, right?
And such a large territory...... Obediently, even Zhu Kun, who conquered Japan, can be crowned a marquis, can't he be a marquis?
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Zhi was full of confidence, looked at this exotic port, and immediately issued an order: "Prepare for shelling!" β
David hesitated: "General, undeclared war, this ......"
"It's okay, it's the ...... What's your companion's name? That's right, it was your companion who attacked our merchant ship in Daming, so I, Daming, traveled thousands of miles to fight back and take revenge. β
Wang Zhi smiled and said: "The envoy of the Han Dynasty has a saying, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" Now I am enlightened, and so should be. β
His name is JosΓ©...... But it doesn't matter, people are dead, you can say whatever you want.
After David secretly said in his heart, he didn't have too complicated emotions, and his expression was also fascinated, fantasizing about what kind of reward he and the Jinghai general next to him would get after pacifying Spain and Portugal and unifying the Iberian Peninsula.
He is more confident than Wang Zhi.
He was already dreaming of unifying the Iberian Peninsula and marching into Italy.
"Attack!"
β¦β¦
In Barcelona, in a spacious, lavishly decorated room, the tall general was pacing back and forth, looking particularly restless.
He was the governor of Barcelona, Lagus.
As the de facto ruler of Barcelona, he is in a terrible mood right now.
A large number of ships were found in the nearby waters, including four extremely terrifying and hideous large warships, which together blocked the entire Barcelona sea, and no one knew where they came from or what they wanted to do.
And as the governor who was responsible for defending the territory, Ragus was under a lot of pressure.
Because it's not just Barcelona, it's a very controversial city.
It was the union of the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Spain, where Philip I of Habsburg united with Queen Juana of Castile, thus uniting Spain.
Their children were the Holy Roman Emperor, the eternal Augustus, the King of Spain, the King of Germany, the King of the Roman People, the King of Castile and LeΓ³n, the King of Aragon, the King of Sicily, the King of Naples, the King of Sardinia and Corsica, the King of Jerusalem, the King of the East and West Indies, the supreme monarch of the Low Countries, Carlos I!
In addition, he had eleven dukes, thirteen counts, and a vassal title.
Carlos I, the beginning of the Spanish empire on which the sun never sets.
Not only is it very important, but it is also the second largest city and the first largest port in Spain.
How should he explain to His Majesty the Great Emperor?
What he had to figure out now was what country did that fleet, which was thousands of miles long and sailing, come from, and why did it suddenly offend the Spanish Empire?
Well, although he was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Carlos I's focus was still on Spain, so this Barcelona cannot afford to lose!
But at this moment, there was a slight knock on the door of the room three times, and Ragus immediately went to open the door, and soon found a young officer in a Spanish military uniform.
"Your Excellency the Doge."
After the man saw Ragus, he immediately said solemnly: "The identity of the other party has been ascertained, according to the report of the empire's ships in India, the flags of those people outside are very similar to the ancient Eastern Empire, the country of porcelain and tea, Seris!" β
"And the ruler of Seris is a dynasty called 'Ming'! We once had a caravan go to trade, and the result was that the Seris were vast and did not like to travel far......"
After hearing this, Ragus jumped up directly: "Don't like to go out? It's called not liking to go out?! Combined, these warships are more than our garrison! What the hell are these Seris going to do?! β
"This ......"
The young officer was embarrassed: "Your Excellency the Governor, we are looking for an interpreter in the city who is proficient in the Serisian language, and we are ready to go to negotiate with the commander of this large fleet. β
"As soon as possible! Damn, these Seris have such a large fleet, they ......"
Before Ragus's words were finished, suddenly, the entire building trembled directly, and in an instant, the sound of 'boom' resounded around him, which caught Ragus off guard and fell directly to the ground.
"What's the situation!"
Unbeknownst to him, Ragus shouted.
Soon, through the window, he saw something that shocked him.
A huge fleet of coastlines, is shelling Barcelona!
"Boom !!"
The brick houses and roads exploded in an instant, and the bricks were directly blown apart, splashing towards the surroundings, and the shock wave swept away the entire street in an instant!
The Spanish troops stationed in the port were caught off guard and were directly hit by several shells, and their batteries were turned into a mass of scrap metal by the red-hot shells in an instant, which did not play any role and suffered heavy casualties.
The dead were lucky, those who were half-dead, who had their hands and feet broken by the explosion, fell in the rubble, wailing incessantly.
Seeing this, Wang Zhi, the general of Jinghai in the Ming Dynasty, couldn't help laughing, and then looked at the little brothers behind him who were eager to try, and laughed:
"Brethren, charge!"
