Chapter 419: Han Cheng: My lord, times have changed! Rumble......!!
The first opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty has officially begun!
It is still different from Wang Dayuan, Zheng He and others who led the fleet to sea before.
This time when the sea was opened, Zhu Yuanzhang made enough momentum here.
The edict was officially issued and announced to the world.
It was clarified that the Ming Dynasty abolished the sea ban and re-established the city shipping department.
These things, although they were a long time ago, were passed on.
Many people also know some news to a greater or lesser extent.
However, there has been no official message.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang directly used an edict to determine this matter and announce it to the world.
There is no more suspense.
Not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang also issued another edict from the Son of Heaven.
Immediately let people start to set up a city department, and announced that from now on, smuggling everywhere is strictly prohibited!
Merchant ships going to sea everywhere need to obey the management of the Municipal Shipping Division!
Violators will be severely punished!
Zhu Yuanzhang will do these things at this time.
It's just to make things bigger.
This is not just the warship of the Ming Dynasty that has been equipped with Hongwu cannons.
And the naval fleet, which is preparing to go to sea, has also completed its training.
Be able to skillfully master those installed with super-powerful, Hongwu cannons.
They are also able to skillfully use the new naval warfare techniques taught to them by Han Cheng.
They work well with each other.
At the same time, it is also a preparation to build momentum through this method.
He knew that Haikou, as well as those wealthy businessmen and others in Jiangnan, were all working hard.
I'm going to give the city a hard time.
In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang is ready to go fishing for law enforcement.
Through this method, these people can better gather together and concentrate their forces to fight with the fleet of the City Division!
Originally, those people were already greatly stimulated.
At this time, after doing this again on their side, these people will definitely not be able to stand it.
If you are even more vigorous, you have to slap yourself in the face and go against yourself.
The first time you go to the sea, you will destroy yourself.
It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is dead to death for many things.
As for changing the name of the ship's artillery to Hongwu Cannon, Zhu Yuanzhang also changed it.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang had no objection to the name of the red-clothed cannon.
But later, after listening to Han Cheng's story, he found that this red-clothed cannon evolved from the Hongyi cannon.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately felt that this name was unlucky.
In his Hongwu Dynasty, these cannons were made by Han Cheng's son-in-law.
It has nothing to do with what is red and white.
Naturally, it can no longer be called a red-coated cannon, or it is better to change it to a Hongwu cannon.
Moreover, this Hongwu cannon has a breakthrough progress, and in artillery, it is simply a milestone.
For Daming, it is of great significance.
It was in the Hongwu Dynasty again, and he was made out by his own good son-in-law!
It's called the Hongwu Cannon, and it couldn't be more suitable.
And after Zhu Yuanzhang did these things, the real situation was indeed as he thought.
In the form of an edict from the Son of Heaven, he announced the abolition of the sea ban and the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Division, and also specifically pointed out that from now on, merchant ships are not allowed to go to sea without permission, and all trade must pass through the Municipal Shipping Division.
Anyone involved in smuggling, after being caught, will be severely punished after such an order.
As soon as the news came out, the many gentry in Jiangnan were all fried!
Originally, there were still many people who felt that Zhu Yuanzhang thundered loudly and rained little.
It's just talking, and it's not really going to be done.
Now, all the people who think like this are speechless.
Zhu Yuanzhang, he ...... Really?
Didn't he kill people by doing this?!
Over the years, they have long been accustomed to trading at sea, without being bound by the imperial court, and there is no tax to the imperial court.
As a result, now, Zhu Yuanzhang has such a big appetite.
Directly stipulate that no more smuggling is allowed!
How much money will they lose in the future?
Just think about it, it's full of discomfort.
After getting accustomed to free trade, not paying taxes, smuggling, and earning as much as they wanted, they are now subject to the constraints of the imperial court, and they will have to pay commercial taxes in the future.
It's uncomfortable to think about!
At that moment, many people started scolding.
Of course, while scolding, there are also many people who have already passed the corresponding news to the sea bandits through their means.
It is necessary to let Chen Fang's two Haikou troops concentrate their forces and destroy Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet at once.
Hit Zhu Yuanzhang's arrogance as a dog thief.
Be sure to let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, so that he will not dare to do such thoughts in the future!
……
The people of Chen Fang's two Haikou, after learning such news, also sneered.
I only felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely arrogant.
I really don't know where Zhu Yuanzhang got the courage to dare to give such an order!
Originally, they waited for so long, but they still didn't see any substantive action from Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
I'm quite disappointed, wondering if Zhu Yuanzhang has been cowardly.
The previous ones were all thunder and rain, just talking.
It doesn't really do that.
As a result, now, as soon as the news of such an explosion came out, these people suddenly became excited.
While excited, I felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely arrogant.
I really don't know what this dog thinks, and he dares to give such an order so arrogantly!
I really don't know how the dead word is written!
At that moment, a series of orders were conveyed, to concentrate on strength, and give Zhu Yuanzhang a ruthless blow!
Let him understand who has the final say on this sea!
Think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang is so ignorant of life and death this time, and he issued such a high-profile order, which is to abolish the maritime ban, and to set up a city department to make so many things.
As a result, as soon as the sailors under his command got off the sea, they were beaten to pieces by their side.
This feeling is still quite good.
Thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang, the mood will be very comfortable!
Chen Sili, the leader of the Chen Haikou, and Fang Baichuan, the leader of the Fang Haikou, were so excited that they couldn't sleep!
As they made all sorts of arrangements, more news soon came in.
said that although Zhu Yuanzhang got a lot of naval warships, there were only four sea ships of 2,000 materials.
The rest are thousands of sea ships.
After getting this exact news, after the answer, Chen Sili and Fang Baichuan became more relieved one by one.
I only felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was dizzy, but with such a little strength, he dared to go to the sea.
And set the key so high.
Isn't this pure death-seeking?
It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang, a dog thief, has become more and more confident after becoming the emperor, and he has become more and more unaware of the sky!
The idea is still stuck in the previous battles on rivers and lakes.
I just think that a warship like him is already invincible in the world.
But I didn't know that times had changed!
This is definitely a thrilling power configuration on an inland lake.
Coming to sea, it's nothing!
Here, not to mention the sea ships of a thousand materials, only the sea ships of two thousand materials, there are twenty ships on one side.
Add forty together!
In this naval battle, whoever has the bigger ship will have a point!
The gap between a thousand sea ships and two thousand sea ships is so huge that it cannot be bridged.
It only depends on human lives to fill it, and I don't know how many people will have to die to fill this gap.
Besides, if they only have one, two, two thousand ships more than the other party.
Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet, relying on his hard work, may be able to take down his own side.
But now, there are thirty-six more ships on their side than them!
That's ten times as many as theirs!
In such a situation, Zhu Yuanzhang and their desire to turn the tables are simply fools' dreams!
No way!
Even if they had already received the news, they knew that the person who drove the warship to sea this time and formed the Ming naval fleet was the previous Chaohu Naval Division.
It has always been known for daring to fight tough battles and dare to fight hard.
Equally unconcerned.
In the next battle, they will use practical actions to make the people on the side of the Chaohu Water Division understand that they have the final say at sea!
The era that belonged to their Chaohu Water Master should have ended a long time ago
Not to mention, they also installed return guns on these big ships.
Combat effectiveness is called a strong!
Next is the moment when the Daming Water Division was hit hard by their side and annihilated!
The more I think about it, the more excited I become, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that it is my advantage, and I will definitely win!
They all already have such a big advantage, how can they lose?
It's simply impossible, okay!
……
Liao Anguo and Yu Tongjiang drove the warship down the river.
It entered the sea from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then went to the depths of the sea.
Out of the near sea, into the far sea,
Turn around and head south.
This is the direction to Nanyang.
Now these maritime merchants and pirates are smuggling.
Generally, there are two main destinations in two directions.
One is the Wa Kingdom to the east, and the other is the Nanyang Kingdom to the south.
Some of them are even further afield, and even to the West......
The sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and the salty sea breeze blows in your face.
Take a breath and you'll be filled with the smell of the sea.
Blue sky, white clouds, endless sea, seagulls fluttering with sails......
There are many scenes, and the people who see them are refreshed.
Liao Anguo is also full of confidence and expectation for the next battle.
I was only looking forward to Chen Fang's two Haikou, and they appeared quickly.
Next, let them give them a good shock and blow them away!
In the words of Han Juma, the Marquis of Xingguo, that is: My lord, times have changed!
At the beginning, Wu Zhen and Wu Liang brothers, what they couldn't do, let them do it with Chaohu Water Division!
On the previous side, if they were directly sent to fight with the Chaohu Water Division, they would definitely not pull their hips like Wu Zhen and Wu Liang's brothers.
will not let Chen Youding, Fang Guozhen has the remnants to escape to the sea, and he will be a disaster for many years.
They're going to wipe them out in one fell swoop!
However, it doesn't hurt to do it now, you can destroy them as well!
Originally, Liao Anguo and the others were still a little stunned by this battle.
But now think about the camouflaged many powerful Hongwu cannons on their ships.
Think about the very practical tactics that Professor Xingguohou gave to himself and others, and the use of Hongwu artillery in conjunction with the current Haikou is overwhelming.
That's called a confident one!
They really want to see those arrogant and domineering pirates.
After being bombarded by their side next, will you be stunned by this big surprise!
It can be said that this is a battle that both sides are looking forward to and feel that their side will definitely win!
It's not easy to get both sides of the battle to have such ideas!
……
Three days later, after Liao Anguo was far enough away from land, the situation began to change somewhat.
A small boat began to appear in the field of vision.
There were sailors who climbed on the mast and held binoculars, constantly reporting the news of the enemy to Liao Anguo.
It didn't take long for many thieves' warships to come forward from afar.
After a while, you can see it even without a telescope.
Take a look at the boats coming from around, and where they are headed.
Liao Anguo had a smile on his face,
It seems that I don't have to worry about it at all!
Originally, he was still a little afraid that after coming to the sea, Chen Fang's two pirates would not slip and would not give them a decisive battle.
If such a thing happens, it is not easy for them to complete the battle!
Well, now he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
After all, it can be seen from the current actions of these pirates.
These pirates are afraid that they will run away.
Prepare to surround them and fight them as soon as possible!
This kind of thing, if it was in the past, Liao Anguo and Yu Tongjiang would definitely be particularly worried about this.
But now they are not afraid at all, and this is the result they want most!
There are many powerful Hongwu cannons on their side, and these people dare to surround them, that is, they are looking for death!
Yu Tongjiang and Liao Anguo even wanted to stop the boat directly and wait for them to come and surround themselves.
But in order to avoid suspicion among those people, they didn't really stop.
Instead, he pretended to want to get rid of the pirates and avoid falling into an encirclement.
While acting, he secretly cooperated with those pirates to surround them, and the encirclement went more smoothly......
……
"Hahaha......"
On a huge battleship, Fang Baichuan couldn't help but let out a burst of hearty laughter.
Originally, he was still very worried about it, and it was not easy for them to surround Zhu Yuanzhang's sailors here.
They will slip away.
But now, he is not worried at all.
These people are stupid!
After seeing them coming, they also looked more panicked.
I want to make some responses and jump out of the encirclement of myself and others.
It's just that the command level of their naval division generals is obviously not online.
Moreover, not only the command level of the generals is not good, but also the warships.
Although there were struggles, in the face of absolute strength, everything was in vain.
Soon they were completely surrounded by their side, even taller ships, people who had been begging for a living at sea for a long time!
Today, this huge encirclement has been formed, and it is constantly compressing the space for their activities.
Next, these people have only a dead end!
Although the battle has not yet been fought, it can already be declared that they have won!
This so-called Chaohu Water Master is nothing more than that!
Back then, they were not born early, if they were born early, let them meet the Chaohu water master, and they would have been beaten up a long time ago!
Liao Yongzhong and others of the Chaohu Water Division also did not meet them at sea.
If they had encountered it, they would have solved it a long time ago!
Today, let the people of the world know that the so-called Chaohu Water Master has long been outdated!
Liao Anguo and Yu Tongjiang, they looked at the many pirates who surrounded them.
It's also getting more and more exciting.
And also began to let the fleet, according to the formation they had practiced before, arrange it.
Prepare to let a lot of pirates come over and give them a face-to-face output!
In their previous experiments, they had fully realized that the closer the enemy was, the more powerful the Hongwu cannon would be.
The other party's boat, even if it is bigger than your own, doesn't matter.
No matter how strong the ship is, in the face of the Hongwu cannon fired at close range, it can only be blasted out of the big hole!
……
Chen Sili stood at the bow of the boat, holding a matching sword in his hand, and his eyes looked a little red.
This sword was left by his father
Thinking about his father's tragic ending back then, he felt so uncomfortable in his heart that he gritted his teeth with hatred!
Today this is a national hatred and family hatred, and it will be avenged together!
"Prepare for the return cannon!
After getting closer, he first used the return cannon to bombard Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet to the death!
Blow them half to death with the return cannon, and then take their ship! ”
After receiving Chen Sili's instructions, these people on the boat responded one by one.
With great excitement and anticipation.
I want to see the Ming army, panicked and smashed by them, and buried at the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.
This is the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses!
How much prestige has been played over the years!
Now that he is going to be abused by himself and others, this kind of thing, thinking about it makes people feel extremely excited!
Their ships are tall enough to have a super return cannon attack.
Once you get closer, it's a condescending, one-sided slaughter!
The fleets of both sides are getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer!
Both sides are trying hard to kill each other!
Especially the many people in Chen Fang's two Haikou, many of them were already laughing and scolding at this time.
With incomparable arrogance.
Eat these water masters of the Ming Dynasty.
The return cannon has already been prepared, and it is about to go to the Ming army to see their big killing weapon!
Soon, the distance between the two sides was less than five hundred meters.
Even without looking at glasses, people with good eyesight can see some of the faces of each other's people on board.
After getting closer, the huge gap between the two thousand sea ships and the thousand sea ships is even more obvious.
It can make people clearly perceive how small the thousands of sea ships are in front of the two thousand sea ships.
This huge disparity can often make people feel hopeless in naval warfare.
They often fight naval battles, and they know too well how much damage this huge gap can bring to the other side!
Many people are ready to fire back the cannon next.
There were also more Haikou who couldn't help but laugh at this time, which was very hearty.
There is no other reason, because they found that under their siege, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty actually used their side to face their bow!
It's just too stupid to be stupid.
Even many of them feel that in the future, on their side, there is no need to use any offensive means such as return artillery.
Just pull the sail full, and with the force of impact, just rush up.
With their sturdy bow and their huge, crushing ship, in this case, just crash into it!
Most of the ships of the Ming Dynasty are smaller than them, and at this time they dare to use the fragile side to meet the enemy, then in the next side, they will definitely be devastated!
The fragile ones will be broken by them like paper.
Countless Daming water masters will fall into the water and die!
This battle is not too easy to win!
Chaohu Water Master, really stupid!
I don't know how the sea battle is fought!
Zhu Yuanzhang was also really confident, and he actually sent such a sailor to start a war with them!
I don't know where he got his courage!
However, not everyone thinks that Daming Shui Shi is stupid.
Some people find something wrong.
"The big boss, this ...... There won't be any fraud, right?
After these people appeared, there were too many fatal flaws.
How to say it, he is also a Chaohu water master, and he has fought countless water fights before.
Although the water battles fought before were fought on rivers and lakes, they were completely different from the battles at sea, and there were many gaps.
But some common-sense questions are still known.
For example, their boats, as long as they are not stupid people, as long as there is a little common sense.
That can't be used to face us with the side at this time. ”
Someone looked at Fang Baichuan and asked aloud, with some worry and confusion.
Fang Baichuan was also aware of these at this time.
I also feel that this time things are really not right, and everything is full of weirdness.
But now that it's all about time, what else can I do?
Can only be played!
And no matter what he thought, he couldn't think of how these Ming sailors in front of him should turn the tables when they already had an absolute advantage on their side.
Immediately, he said, "Whatever are they doing here, in my opinion, these dogs are stupid!"
The current Chaohu water master is no longer the original Chaohu water master!
No matter what intrigues they have, there is no way to make up for the huge gap between them, on the warship, and us!
Next, let them have a good experience, what is called despair! ”
After listening to Fang Baichuan's words, the Haikou leader, who seemed a little worried, thought about it and felt that it was very right.
He also couldn't think of what kind of tricks the Daming Sailor could play under such circumstances.
There was really no other result than being crushed by them.
At the moment, I put aside all the doubts and worries in my heart.
Prepare for the next step and command the battle well.
Perhaps, these Da Ming sailors are so stupid!
"Bright cannon!"
"Ignition!"
It was also at this time that Liao Anguo, who had been pressing for a long time, gave an order.
After this order, the cloth and other things that were suddenly covered with a cannon were quickly pulled apart.
A swarthy Hongwu cannon with a door opening is exposed!
Someone immediately took the fire fold and lit the fuse......
What's going on?!
Fang Baichuan's eyes widened instantly! (End of chapter)
