Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Although the guns of battleships are not comparable to those of later warships, and the rate of fire is not very fast, they are still many years ahead of Western warships at that time.

The most important thing is the iron-clad battleship. It is not a wooden battleship with iron plates. This is a complete iron-hulled battleship. In addition, it is equipped with thousands of shells, including solid shells and cracked shells.

Although 600 million points were used, compared with the previous lottery draws, Zhu Youjian believes that this time is definitely the most valuable one.

Not only can they make the Ming Dynasty Navy an invincible fleet, but they can also make great contributions to the development of the Ming Dynasty's iron-clad warships.

The Ministry of Industry can not only imitate, but also continue to improve warships with the development of science and technology, so that the technology of building iron-clad warships will never fall behind.

He took out the walkie-talkie and called Zheng Chenggong, but there was no response. After walking out of the cockpit, Zhu Youjian took out the binoculars and asked the four of them:

"Your qinggong is the best, go up and see where Zheng Chenggong's battleship is."

"My lord, try it yourself."

Ah Qing took the binoculars and flew up, borrowing strength twice in a row, and stood firmly on a small platform protruding from the funnel of the battleship, which was originally an observation post.

Ah Qing looked around with the binoculars in his hand, and soon found a large ship approaching the port.

"My lord, I saw a big ship coming towards us. I don't know if it's Zheng Chenggong and the others."

"Oh, come down, it must be them, if it weren't for the ironclad ship, it would have been impossible to sail here."

"Boom..."

Zhu Youjian hadn't finished speaking when a cannon shot rang out, causing the ice surface to tremble.

"My lord is right, it must be Dudu Zheng."

Hearing the sound of the cannon, the four masters confirmed at the same time that the emperor's judgment was correct.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no battleship coming. Ah Qing jumped onto the observation platform next to the chimney again, took a look through the binoculars, and found that the big ship had changed its course.

"My lord, they are gone."

"Damn it, it's such a cold day, why don't I wait for them to fail for a day, and Cao Zhengchun will bring an 80-pound shell over here, there are instructions on it."

Zhu Youjian was in a hurry at that time, and asked Cao Zhengchun to hold the shells. He went directly to the 80-pound cannon at the stern, ready to fire to attract Zheng Chenggong.

Yu Huatian, who has never spoken much, grabbed Zhu Youjian:

"No, Your Majesty, will you fire?"

"Haha, if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs running, try it."

Zhu Youjian didn't care about a word, and immediately frightened Yu Huatian, that thing is too powerful, what if the emperor has an accident, but he can't hold the emperor and don't let go.

Seeing Yu Huatian's dilemma, Zhu Youjian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, go to the cab and get the manual for the naval gun."

"According to the purpose"

Yu Huatian had no choice but to let go and run to the cab, quickly found a manual for the naval gun, and immediately returned to the deck to hand it to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian took the manual, opened it, and looked at it, and immediately realized that it was very simple. Push the shell into the barrel, then manually close the back cover tightly, and just pull the rope.

Soon, Cao Zhengchun ran over with an [-]-pound shell. According to Zhu Youjian's command, he pushed the shell into the barrel, shook a handle with his hand, and the back cover began to close tightly.

Zhu Youjian then asked Ah Qing above:

"Ah Qing, check to see if there are any ships in the direction of the stern of the battleship."

"My lord, there is nothing."

After hearing that the direction of the stern was safe, Zhu Youjian handed a rope to Yuhuatian, and then he quickly left the cannon.

"Cover your ears, Yuhuatian pulls the rope."

"According to the order."

Yu Huatian agreed, pulled the rope lightly, and then ran towards Zhu Youjian.

"Boom..."

There was a loud noise, and the huge battleship was shaken by the shock, a ball of flames spewed out from the muzzle, and the shells came out of the chamber, disappearing instantly.

Then he could feel the nearby ice start to tremble, Yuhuatian looked back at the cannon and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, the cannonball was fired successfully, do you want to try again?"

Hearing that Yuhuatian would try again, Zhu Youjian shook his head again and again:

"What, you are still addicted, do you know how much a shell costs?"

Chapter 358 Almost Became a Cannon Target

"Boom..."

Zheng Chenggong, who was training at sea, suddenly heard the sound of cannons nearby.

Immediately his face changed, no one would dare to fire without his order, and immediately sent an order:

"Observation hand, quickly look at where to shoot."

A battleship without sails naturally does not need a mast. On the tall chimney, there is an iron fence extending outward, and the observer stands inside with a telescope.

Hearing the sound of gunfire and receiving orders, he immediately picked up the binoculars and looked around.

It was soon discovered that about [-] steps to the right of their battleship, a hole had been blasted out of the ice, and the water was still rippling.

After looking around, the visibility at sea is limited, and it is impossible to see the situation in the distance. The observation post immediately reported to the governor:

"Report to Commander, about [-] paces ahead of the right side of our ship, we found the landing point of the shell, but the exact location of the shelling is unknown, and the shelling is likely to come from the direction of the pier."

Zheng Chenggong was taken aback. As the captain of the navy, all the warships were under his jurisdiction. Without asking him for instructions, who would dare to shoot without permission.

If a strong enemy invades, an emergency situation can be forgiven, but there are not even any pirates in the Bohai Sea, so there will be no surprises at all.

"Quickly, turn the rudder and go back to see if something unexpected happened, prepare to fight immediately, and follow the orders of the governor at any time."

"Yes"

The armored battleship immediately turned its rudder and headed towards the horse's head at full speed. Black smoke billowed from the tall chimney, and the gunners were immediately in place.

The observation post looked around vigilantly with binoculars. About 10 minutes later, the target was found on the sea ahead. There were actually five ironclad warships lined up in battle formation on the sea.

"My God! How is this possible..."
