Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 763 Establishment of the Ming Kingdom ([-])
On Ruan Xiaoqi's side, the soldiers on the twenty gunboats were already boiling.Sanfoqi is an enemy country!

"Brothers, work harder. After destroying Srivijaya, it's time to grab the money and the women!" The captains of the gunboats also shouted to encourage their men.

More than half of these people have been wandering in Nanyang for a long time, and they have heard about the prosperity of Sanfoqi for a long time, while the other officers and soldiers of the gunboat who arrived newly arrived were influenced by other people, and their ears are full of the prosperity and prosperity of Sanfoqi. information.

If you don't start now, when will you wait?

It has already been said in the previous article.If you don't give others benefits, why should they work so hard for you?The ideal thing is certainly inspiring, but it is not enough to eat or drink.Even during the Liangshanbo period, Emperor Lu knew that ideals were just a gimmick, and real money and food were the truth.

Of course, in order to cultivate a truly strong army, this "ideal" as a gimmick really cannot be lost.

Even on the bright side, you have to pay special attention to this kind of gimmick, no matter whether the soldiers are true or false, you must create a demeanor of a king and a heavenly soldier on the face.Just like the soldiers of the lighthouse country in later generations, who live under the banner of "Sanzhu", I am the master of the king.But what about the reality?Whether it's the anecdotes about Neon and the girl, or Smecta's massacre, or even the internal things, such as the tail hook annual meeting, and things like ecstasy, all the dirty things Isn't all dirty covered up in the era of underdeveloped information?
Therefore, gimmicks and ideals must be persisted.Because they are consistent with China's universal values.

For the overseas navy that was destined to undertake arduous tasks in the future, Emperor Lu had instilled a kind of wildness in it from the beginning of its establishment.Under the gorgeous coat of trophies and battle rewards, the officers and soldiers' eyes were all reddened by Hong Guoguo's interests.

Just like Lu Qi’s previous efforts to crack down on illegal profiteers who evaded taxes, and the property registration of Qimin after the Great Cleansing, the punishment for those who concealed and reported false declarations ranged from one to ten years in the labor reform brigade, confiscation of all or More than half of the property, at least half of it must be confiscated, even if it is only a small tax omission and a small amount of land.In addition, people who report illegal merchants and landlords are rewarded with high rewards, and half of the proceeds are generally confiscated and not distributed.

This is very similar to the warning order issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.Once it is released to the world, it will cause an uproar.I don’t know how many people have made a fortune by letting lawless people suffer.As cases emerged one after another, the Lu Qi court's tax revenue continued to increase, and household registration and property registration matters became increasingly smooth.

Just because the world is too unfriendly to their merchants and gentry.If a thief sees everyone as a thief, how can one bear it day after day?

And why is the enthusiasm of the people so high?Isn't it because of Hong Guoguo's interests?

The officers and soldiers on the gunboat are like this now, everyone seems to have lit a stove in their hearts, and they are all thinking about grabbing one!
On this point, the wildness of the officers and soldiers of the Qi army's overseas naval division, after the influence of the Fujian-Guangdong sea surface and the South Vietnam battle, is much wilder than the army.

For a moment, everyone was fully focused, waiting for the upcoming decisive battle!

Topon Yali is also wild. In the one-third of an acre of land in Malacca, he relied on the power of the Three Buddhas to fight and charge fiercely, but he succeeded repeatedly.He was young and energetic, and developed a supercilious temper, looking down on the Chinese fleet that traveled thousands of miles away.

Even the Chola navy came to Nanyang along the west coast of Bagan, but the Chinese went straight through the South China Sea like merchants - it is impossible to go to Nanyang along South Vietnam and Champa, otherwise they The news is long overdue.After wandering on the sea for such a long time, how can there be any fighting strength left?Even an iron-fighting hero has become a soft-legged shrimp.

"Boom boom boom..."

The warships on both sides were getting closer and closer. When the distance narrowed down to about Li Xu, the bow of the East China Sea was tilted, and the slender hull was aimed obliquely at the Three Buddha Qi Navy, and continued to move forward until the distance was almost the same. When it was about Baizhang.

A row of broadsides fired.

This distance is already the shortest distance, and if you go any further, you may be attacked by the Three Buddha Qi people's ballista.

In a battle at sea, close contact is inevitable, but before that, the gunboat's combat mode is to drain the opponent's blood first.

Toponyari saw that the East China Sea suddenly turned its head, leaned sideways and aimed at his department, feeling very puzzled.

In this era of warship combat, there are only three general moves.The first is collision, followed by shooting with bows and crossbows, and finally jumping off the side of the ship to fight hand-to-hand.With the appearance of the Donghai, aren't you looking for death?
But Tobilo behind him was already shouting: "Cannon!"

Isn't the legendary weapon of the Chinese people loaded on the bow, stern and both sides of the ship?In this era when news spreads slowly, the Sanfoqi people have heard of the name of artillery, but they still don't have a specific concept about it.I only know its distribution location and combat methods in general.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Continuous loud noises were like thunder rolling across the sky. Eight chain bullets were sprayed out of the muzzle one after another. Under the action of the driving force generated after the gunpowder explosion, they quickly sprang out of the cannon. mouth, and then the two iron bullets connected together will rotate rapidly, and under the action of centrifugal force, they will explode with powerful force.

If it can hit the mast, the iron chain will be entangled, and the iron bullet will be dragged down. No matter how thick the mast is, it may not be able to withstand such a blow.

The fast-rotating chain bomb can easily cut people open. This is a terrifying weapon, but because of its poor hit rate and range is far inferior to the cannonball, the biggest effect is reflected in the damage to the canvas. The mast The target is too small, and the hit rate is very worrying.Unless you already have an absolute advantage, greatly shorten the distance with the enemy and concentrate your artillery.

The current Donghai is not as lucky as that one shot.The eight chain bombs hit half of them, but they only made two holes as big as windows in the sail of Topanyali's ship, which was leading the way, and then two small holes were opened in the side of the ship.

There was a burst of exclamation on the opposite warship, whether it was the torn hole in the sail or the gap in the ship's side, they were all stunned.

At such a long distance, their ballista has not yet entered the attack range.

The East China Sea sailed away without the slightest hesitation. Like a swordfish, it drew a perfect arc on the sea.Quickly cut to the rear of Tuopon Yali.At the same time, a detachment of three gunboats also approached Toponyari.

Tobilo was shocked, and he ordered loudly almost without thinking, "The whole army is attacking!" He is now fully sure that the warships in front of them bearing the red flags are the sharp weapons of the Nanyang Navy across the South China Sea—— gunboat.

The course of the great sea battle in front of him also became clear before his eyes.You have to entangle the gunboats in front of you, and then let the large forces attack to defeat the main force behind the enemy as soon as possible. In this way, even if there are only twenty gunboats, even if they have great capabilities, they can only bear the end of failure.

When the former Sanfoqi army was paddling like crazy, a small sampan was rushing to report to the main fleet with its sails.Sanfoqi has used the naval system to dominate Malacca for hundreds of years, so naturally there is a set of contact methods for them, but that is too general.When necessary, a contact ship is needed to report the news, just like a large army fighting on the road, no matter how clear the drums and flags are, messengers are indispensable.

"Boom boom boom..." The cannons sounded again and again, and the three gunboats approached.

The big triangle sail warship was hit again and again, and Tuopon Yali's body was shaken violently. Even though he had been through the wind and waves at sea for a long time, he couldn't stand still at this moment, and he squatted on the deck.The boat under his feet was hit by shells one after another, and before he could recover, he saw a shadow covering him.He quickly raised his head to look, and saw that the main mast was like a big mountain, and it was crushed down with the sound of dry wood snapping.

"Buddha, the mainmast is about to fall!" A terrified cry came from the deck, followed by a loud bang, the huge dhow was shaking violently, and everyone couldn't stand still, and they were all stumbling around. lying on the deck.Its power is much stronger than the shot just now.

The salvos from the three gunboats prevented Topanyali's ship from being lucky enough to escape the disaster. There was a harsh creaking sound, and a chain bomb hit its main mast!
The mast of a large dhow might be thicker than the thighs of an ordinary strong man, but the chain bomb was only an inducement for it to break, and there was also the force of the sea wind.When the windy mast is hit by chain bullets, and after the iron bullet wraps around the mast, it is like a tall building whose foundation has been hollowed out, and the result is only one way to collapse.

It was like being hit by a divine thunder falling from the sky!The whole spinnaker was lying down.

Toponyari was no exception and fell down on the deck. He raised his head and watched the main mast fall. Although he was lucky that the mast did not hit him, the canvas that fell with the mast made him feel What is the wind rush, at that moment he had difficulty breathing.Unfortunately, the main mast did not fall against the side, but fell straight towards the bow, and the entire warship lost its combat effectiveness.

His head was all groggy.What kind of weapon is this?Is this the cannon that the people of Tianfang fear?This is really the weapon used by the devil!
Toponyari drew out a knife and cut through the sail, struggled to get up, no longer a little proud, just gritted his teeth and looked at the messy deck, shouting to the soldiers, telling them to cut off the mast immediately, and the thick mainmast Throw overboard.Otherwise, they would just put fish and meat on the chopping board and let others slaughter them.

"Good fight, good fight..." Ruan Xiaoqi shouted happily from behind, he had witnessed the whole process of shelling just now.The bombardment of the East China Sea was also under his eyes, and he lamented that the artillery fire was too small, the range was limited, and the accuracy was even worse.Shout out now.

In fact, the effect of the bombardment was not satisfactory. The bombardment by the four gunboats was all at a distance of about [-] feet. Fortunately, the main mast was pressed straight against the bow of the ship.Most of the other shells missed, only a third or a quarter of the shells fell on the hull, making holes one after another, and the flying debris killed and injured some sailors on board.However, the extent of the damage to the entire warship is doubtful.

Therefore, Ruan Xiaoqi is looking forward to the mature version of the sailing battleship at this time. If the ship department can build the sailing battleship that the emperor said can carry more than 100 cannons, the big triangle sailing ship in front of him will only need one round. It can be labeled as a hornet's nest.

Therefore, the current gunboats still have to fight the enemy in close combat with arrows and crossbows.Only when the distance is shortened can the Tiger Crouching Cannon and Thunderbolt play a role, the shells can be fired more accurately, and the shotguns can really come in handy.

Although this will cause them to suffer some casualties.However, today's Qi army navy has not yet developed to the point of fighting without casualties.
