Da Ming started to ascend the throne

The sentinel suspected that his eyes were dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes desperately and took a closer look. Yes, there were indeed five ironclad warships blocking their way back to the port.

After seeing the situation clearly, the observation post almost fell from the air, and immediately stammered and reported to Zheng Chenggong:

"Report...report...report, Commander...five warships that are almost the same as ours are found ahead, and they have already lined up for battle..."

"What, say it again."

How could Zheng Chenggong believe what the sentinel said, and asked him to repeat what he had just said, and the sentinel immediately repeated what he had just said.

"How is this possible? The battleship immediately slowed down, loaded the shells, and obeyed the orders of the governor at any time."

Zheng Chenggong grabbed the binoculars and the walkie-talkie and rushed to the deck quickly. As soon as he raised the binoculars, he found five iron-clad warships ahead.Fastest update../ ../

"Hiss...that's impossible..."

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help gasping.

He has followed his father to and from the sea since he was a child, and he also knows something about the current naval discoveries.

The ironclad warship under his command is definitely the most advanced surface warship. How could there be another ironclad warship, and there are still five of them.

"semaphore"

As soon as Zheng Chenggong gave an order, some soldiers immediately started waving signal flags and questioning the warships ahead, but they ignored them at all.

"All the soldiers are ready to fight, aim the muzzle at the battleship ahead, lean in, and if there is any movement, fire immediately."

"Yes"

The Shenwei cannon on the bow of the ship aimed its muzzle at the target immediately, and the shells were also loaded into the barrel.

While Zheng Chenggong gave the combat order, he also carefully observed the opponent's warship through the telescope, not daring to miss a single detail.

"Your Majesty? No way?"

As the distance got closer, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the camera, and then four more people appeared, it was the emperor and his guards.

"God...it's a false alarm!"

Zheng Chenggong was surprised and delighted, took a deep breath, and then sent an order:

"The battle status is cancelled. Except for the helmsman, all officers and men are lined up on the deck to wait for His Majesty's review."

"Yes"

Zheng Chenggong discovered that after the arrival of the emperor, Zhu Youjian and others also saw an iron-clad warship coming through the wind and waves.

Ah Qing used the binoculars on it, and could clearly see the opponent's muzzle aiming at the battleship she was on.

At that time, my back started to sweat, and I hurriedly yelled at Zhu Youjian and others:

"Your Majesty, go away, they are going to bombard us."

"Ah Qing, don't be nervous, they won't fire.

Zhu Youjian was not nervous, he knew that Zheng Chenggong would not be able to fire indiscriminately.

When Ah Qing's binoculars locked on Zheng Chenggong and the others again, she found that the crew and soldiers of the battleship began to gather on the deck, and she relaxed.

The battleship stopped steadily on the sea about 200 meters away from Zhu Youjian and the others. It is impossible for such a large battleship to get close, and the battleship will be damaged if it is too close.

Zheng Chenggong immediately ordered the two small boats to be put down. He took several thousand households and used the small boats to board the battleship where Zhu Youjian was.

After boarding the ship, Zheng Chenggong and others quickly came to Zhu Youjian and saluted with fists in their hands:

"See Your Majesty."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After seeing the ceremony, before Zhu Youjian could speak, Zheng Chenggong couldn't wait to ask:

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with these five iron-clad battleships? The Ministry of Industry simply didn't build five iron-clad battleships at such a fast speed."

Of course Zhu Youjian would not tell the truth to Zheng Chenggong, it wasn't that he didn't believe in Zheng Chenggong, the system couldn't explain it at all.

"Ai Qing, what do you think of these five warships? I paid 6000 million taels of silver to buy them, which are more advanced than yours. The Ministry of Industry will build these warships in the future."

"Hiss... 6000 million taels of silver, your majesty is so courageous, I thank you for adding another artifact to my Ming Navy."

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magic weapon. Ironclad warships are magic weapons in Zheng Chenggong's heart.

When encountering wooden sail warships, you don't need to fire cannons, you can easily sink them directly.

Looking at the five iron-clad warships in front of him, Zheng Chenggong was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He immediately took a few entourages to visit the steam engines and artillery of the warships.

Going up and down, turning around, full of praise while visiting, leaving Zhu Youjian and others alone and ignoring them.

Because the battleship was still on trial, there were many shipyard craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry around him, and it took them nearly two hours to inspect the battleship carefully.

Zhu Youjian was not in a hurry, and went back to the cab to look through the battleship manual. It was not until Zheng Chenggong stood in front of him that Zhu Youjian asked:

"How about it, how is it better than the iron-clad warship built by Daming himself?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, whether it is artillery or steam engines, including steel plates and airtight cabins, they are all better than those built by ourselves. May I ask Your Majesty where these warships come from..."

Just as Zheng Chenggong wanted to ask where the warship came from, he was immediately interrupted by Zhu Youjian:

"I'll give you one month to train. After one month, I want you to recover Taiwan and Macau, and drive out the Ryukyu Japanese pirates, six iron-clad warships and two hundred wooden warships. Are you sure?"

Just kidding, without the two hundred sailing warships, just relying on six ironclad warships can sweep the entire Asian navy, and it is nothing to regain the bay.

Full of confidence, Zheng Chenggong took a step forward and clasped his fists in reply:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, please persevere for another month. After one month, the Daming Navy will shake the world again."

Chapter 359 Battleship Emperor

Many of Zheng Chenggong's naval soldiers were former elite members of the Zheng family's army. They had many years of experience in sea warfare, and they had defeated Hongmao Fan as pirates.

The 5 people recruited from the coastal areas also participated in the battle to liberate Korea, and later cooperated with the three-way eastward expedition army to attack the coastal cities from the waterway.

It can be said that all naval fighters have personally participated in the battle, and no one is a coward.
