Great Ming National Teacher

The two of them followed Yuan Chonghuan on board the Qing Yacha. There were killer whale frigates, front, rear, left, and right, and eight sea shark destroyers outside. These thirteen ships had chimneys, and they were emitting thick smoke. They supported the frame of the entire fleet. Surrounded by the other three-masted ships, centipede ships, and chariots, they set sail and sailed away from Tianjin to the depths of the sea!

Now Lu Xiangsheng has sent troops from Jinzhou to fight fiercely with the Manchus in Daliaohe. Due to the establishment of the East China Sea Fleet, Yuan Chonghuan has firmly controlled the Bohai Sea area. Cross the Bohai Sea and go straight to Ganghwa Island.

Ganghwa Island is a small island with beautiful scenery and fertile land. When the Liao Kingdom attacked Goguryeo, Goguryeo was beaten and moved to Ganghwa Island several times. Later, Mongolia invaded the Korean Peninsula, and the King of Koryo moved his capital here. Not long ago, Huang Taiji came here. The king of Joseon also sent his concubines and children to Ganghwa Island.After the Manchu Qing annexed North Korea, Duoduo was appointed as the general of North Korea, and Duoduo chose Ganghwa Island to live here.

But it is said that Duoduo is in Ganghwa Island, drinking and having fun all day long, awake to kill the sword, lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman, very happy. He is 20 years old this year. For his own value, when he heard that Lu Xiang raised his troops to attack Shengjing, he immediately wrote a letter to ask for a fight. He was ordered by Huang Taiji not to move for several times in a row. He was asked to strictly guard several important grain production areas in North Korea for fear of the Ming Dynasty navy attacking North Korea. move.

Duoduo was helpless. In fact, he was young and full of vigor. He always believed that the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty was the strongest army in the world. When North Korea lands, he will definitely let the other party come and go!

After waiting for a few days, the Daming navy still did not appear. He couldn't bear it anymore and called Kong Youde, asking him to dispatch the navy to attack the Ming army's flank from the sea. He drew a line on the map: "Lu Xiangsheng attacked Shenyang from Jinzhou, The rear must be empty, from which you can land and attack his rear."

After hearing this, Kong Youde wrinkled his face into a bitter gourd look: "The naval forces of the Ming Dynasty were powerful. If they met at sea, the entire army might be wiped out." A while ago, he had two fights with Yuan Chonghuan and suffered heavy losses. He was beaten out of his mind. The shadow came, "Besides, the emperor sent a letter to warn us, telling us to be careful of the Ming Dynasty navy coming to attack North Korea."

"He came to attack me here is exactly what I wish for!" Duoduo said, "I don't need navy here, let them come ashore to fight, you don't need to be here, immediately follow what I said, attack Lu Xiangsheng's rear, if the Ming Dynasty navy If you come out of North Korea, you happened to directly attack Tianjin Port, from Tianjin to Beijing, if you succeed, you will be the first in this battle!"

Kong Youde was bitter in his heart, but he couldn't explain it to Duoduo. Although Huang Taiji gave him a lot of rewards, respectful to the public and admiral of the Navy, but in the Qing Dynasty, the Han people were naturally inferior to the Manchus. To be precise, they should be lower. Two classes, with Mongols in the middle, Duduo is a prince, and the younger brother of the current emperor can drown him by spitting casually.

Unable to refuse, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it. Kong Youde thought and thought, and felt that even if he took all the boats with him, he would not be able to defeat the Daming Navy, so he could only play hide-and-seek with him in the vast sea. , So he only brought 56 ​​warships, the largest is a Fuchuan with a displacement of about [-] tons, and the rest are about [-] to [-] tons. He also described, guessing which route the Ming Dynasty navy would take to attack North Korea. He made a special detour to avoid the Ming Dynasty navy and go straight to the west bank of the Bohai Sea. Then we will see the situation. If there is a chance, we will shoot. Just find a coastal place to go ashore and chop off some heads and bring them back, and you can do business.

So when the East China Sea Fleet of the Ming Dynasty approached Jianghua Island, Kong Youde led the main fleet and left first, circled a large circle from the vast sea to the south, and then turned to the Denglai area.

Hearing that the navy of the Ming Dynasty was coming, Duoduo immediately put on his horse, sharpened his sword, and led the army to prepare for war, intending to wipe out the Ming army.

Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian are sitting in the command room. The thirteen main warships of the East China Sea Fleet all use electric power. They use steam turbines to drive generator sets to generate electricity for supply. Water pumps, ignition devices for cannons and rockets, and information transmission devices.

Since the "telegraph" was invented, this communication technology was applied to the ship. If the watchman on the control tower finds something, he immediately presses the button on it, and the electric bell in the command room will ring immediately. There are five bells in total. , are painted in various colors, and because the size of the hammer is different from the metal composition of the iron bell itself, the sounds it makes are also different.

In case of a storm, the white bells, yellow bells, and green bells, which symbolize gold and earth, will ring at the same time. Depending on the size of the storm, the number of emergency presses will vary. The more times, the greater the storm wave.Another example is that when the enemy comes, the five bells will ring for three seconds at the same time. If the enemy comes from the east, the green bell will be pressed, and if the enemy comes from the north, the black bell will be pressed. The more the enemy comes, the more times, and so on.

Similarly, Yuan Chonghuan also passed the order to the command tower by pressing the bell, and the command tower waved the flag to pass the order to other ships.

Such a podium is called the Tianzitai. There are only five electric bells and five buttons on it, and three young officers and soldiers sit in front to operate it.

The Dizitai is responsible for commanding the various departments of the Qingyasha itself. For example, ordering the 36 muzzles on the lower deck on the port side to load and prepare for battle. Press the button here, and the gunners on the third-to-last floor below will hear electric bells. There are only three electric bells. If they sound continuously at the same time, it means that the enemy is coming. Immediately load the shells, aim outward, and ring three times in a row, which means that the 36 cannons are firing at the same time. Similarly, if they have any situation here, they can also transmit it immediately through the electric bell. to the control room.

For the rest, how to sail, when to turn the rudder, when to raise the sail, when to turn the rudder, when to dock, etc., Yuan Chonghuan can completely command the whole ship sitting in the command room. One after another, it is too noisy to make a mess, and it is easy to mishear the sound, so there are four consoles in Tiandi Xuanhuang, each console is separated by a small room, closed on three sides, and the last wall is connected to form a hall. The operator sat in the operating room and reported the situation to Yuan Chonghuan at any time.

Zhu Youjian started to get seasick again. He was sitting on the sofa, holding the sofa surface tightly with both hands, his complexion was pale, his body was tense, and he dared not move at all. It made people upset, Zhu Youjian managed to hold on for more than an hour, and began to feel that there were golden stars in front of him, and he was on the verge of falling. Li Yunya persuaded him to rest in the lounge, but he refused. Yuan Chonghuan also came to persuade him, but he reprimanded him sharply: The most important thing is to command this fleet to fight, don't worry about me!"

In the end, Zhu Youjian couldn't hold back his vomiting, his body was empty, his limbs were weak, and his head was sweating profusely. There were no eunuchs and maids accompanying him to serve him. Only Wang Zhengnan led thirty burly men from the National Security Bureau to protect him. Li Yunya fed him a drink Gargle with some warm water, ask someone to take out the spittoon and throw it away, so as not to affect the work mood of the staff in the command room, and then hug Zhu Youjian without any explanation.

After leaving the command room, he first took Zhu Youjian to the deck to get some air. At this time, the sea wind was blowing, the waves were furious, and the sails had already been raised.

Looking at the sailors who were engrossed in dragging the rope or adjusting the barrel, Zhu Youjian sighed: "You see people walking on it like flying, like walking on flat ground, I can't even sit here, just now I feel I'm about to die..." He looked up at the young man waving a flag standing on the command tower, and stroked his forehead, "I was born in a deep palace and grew up in a woman's hand, as you said!"

Li Yunya grabbed his hand and massaged the Hegu acupoint: "There is a specialization in the arts, and sooner or later you will achieve the Tao. This is their job, so they can do it well. Your job is the emperor, so you can't compare with them."

"But I didn't do well as an emperor..." Zhu Youjian was a little distracted, "I have thought about it more than once, and I have dreamed about it more than once. You didn't show up, and I still acted as the emperor as before. Although I was also conscientious and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, the Ming Dynasty was still riddled with holes, and was finally killed by the Manchus. Brother Xianhuang's hands are getting worse and worse. I am very anxious. I have fantasized more than once about how I will make this country better and stronger if I become the emperor. I can’t get back to heaven! Without you, I would still collect three or four million taels of land tax every year, and I would pay five or six million taels to Liaodong. In recent years, there have been droughts, floods, locust plagues, earthquakes, and hurricanes in various places. I have no money to relieve disasters. , there will be more and more disaster victims, and more and more rogues..."

With Zhu Youjian's approval, Li Yunya was happy in his heart, and he couldn't show it on his face, so he could only persuade: "Don't say that, isn't it good now? When the north is pacified, let's move south and first get rid of the people who were arrested. Take back the Taiwan occupied by Spain and the Netherlands!"

In a few days, they came to the west coast of the Korean peninsula, outside Jianghua Island, and the navy of the Qing Dynasty lined up along the coast. They had a total of more than 700 ships. When it reached 56 tons, Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian looked over with binoculars. In front of the Daming Navy, these ships were like little dogs facing a group of lions, trembling with the waves.

Because the emperor and the national teacher were both on his own ship, Yuan Chonghuan presided over the battle with twelve times the spirit, first let the four sea shark ships lead their respective formations to line up and press forward, and the rest approached in the rear , the shells are fully loaded and ready to fire.

The largest ship on the opposite side is only [-] tons, and the Sea Shark is [-] tons. Looking at this side from the opposite ship, the Sea Shark is a giant, and the [-]-ton Qing Yasha behind it is like the whole world. ...

Yuan Chonghuan asked the flag officer to persuade him to surrender, but of course there was no result, and then ordered to open fire directly.

The front four sea shark formations fired at the same time. Each sea shark ship was equipped with rifled guns with extremely long range. The shells flew out with a smooth trajectory and high accuracy. The first shot hit a centipede ship more than 20 meters long. The flames blazed and sawdust flew.

Immediately following the Sea Shark Ship's stern, the Fire Dragon Nest also began to emit thousands of miles of clouds and smoke. The range of the secondary rocket was extremely long, and the number of shots was large. The flames were several meters long, with screams like diamond monkeys, wailing Cutting through the sky and falling into the enemy's line, the warships of the Qing army exploded and caught fire one after another.
