Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 924 Who do you think will win?

As soon as Yan Yingyuan heard this, he strode out and went to the city head near the sea in Zhenna City to check.

Sure enough, as described in the mansion newspaper, among the many sailing warships on the distant sea, there was a warship that was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

"Lord Governor, is that our Ming Dynasty's most powerful armored warship?" a general next to him asked excitedly.

After hearing this, Yan Yingyuan nodded and said, "It should be so. We'll find out after we dock."

"I really didn't expect that something made of iron can actually float on the sea. And I heard that it is very powerful and can hit a sailing battleship!" After hearing this, the general couldn't help but sigh, " After being away from China for a long time, I feel that many things are very new and I have never seen them before!”

Why not!After hearing this, Yan Yingyuan felt the same emotion in his heart.

Since he arrived in Dongwu, he has never returned to China, or the original country.I can only learn about the domestic situation through the residence newspaper and family letters, and many things are unheard of.

Not to mention the steam ironclad battleship that is about to arrive right now, and the steam train that is said to be very powerful, it is really capable of traveling day and night.Not only can it easily go five hundred miles a day, but the most important thing is that it can pull a lot of cars at a time, which is amazing!

Unlike the generals around him, Yan Yingyuan is more concerned about the root causes of these changes.Although he knew that this was an outstanding achievement spearheaded by the prince.However, the reason why the prince has achieved this achievement is because behind the prince, stands the current emperor.

Thinking of this, Yan Yingyuan became a little crazy.

The emperor is not only so powerful in war, but also knowledgeable about heaven and man, he knows so many things, and in just twenty years, Daming has undergone earth-shaking changes.What will happen to Daming next is really too hard to imagine!

Just as he was thinking about this, the fleet in the distance was approaching and began to slowly enter the harbor.

This fleet mainly came from Dongwu.Twenty sailing battleships, plus a steam armored battleship, were built not long ago.There are also 45 transport ships, ten of which mainly transport ordnance and ammunition, [-] transport food and grass, and the rest are empty ships.

The emperor's decree was urgent, and Dongwu had no time to prepare more food and grass, so the ship had to be empty.While docking at Zhennan City to replenish fresh water, those empty ships will be loaded with Ceylon's specialties, so they won't really have to leave empty.

In Zhennancheng, twenty ships were also prepared to transport grain and grass, and there were also five transport ships to transport Ceylonese soldiers of the Ming Army.

This was also the intention of Emperor Chongzhen, who asked Yan Yingyuan to select the best soldiers to participate in the battle. After they return with military exploits, they can serve as a demonstration and facilitate the further management of the Ming Dynasty here.

When Yan Yingyuan was thinking about this, the fleet finally docked at the port of Zhennan City, and the noise brought his thoughts back to his eyes.

Dongwu was also in his charge, so Yan Yingyuan began to inspect the warship, especially the long-famous iron-clad warship. Listening to the captain's introduction, stroking the steel body that had been heated by the sun, he couldn't help but feel like he was there again. Wondering in my heart.

After the tour, he patted the captain on the shoulder and said: "The Ming Fleet here has been suppressed by the Xiyi United Fleet before, and the soldiers are all aggrieved. This time, we must deal with it severely. Those Westerners!"

According to Emperor Chongzhen's arrangements, Yan Yingyuan will not lead the army on the expedition this time, he will have to wait here.

There is still a fleet coming from Nanyang, because it is too far away, and it will take about a month to reach Ceylon.At that time, he will lead the fleet and head to Persia.It is estimated that the first battle against Persia should not be able to catch up, which made him feel very regretful.

Upon hearing his instructions, the captain of the armored battleship immediately loudly assured him: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, this time, we will definitely make Xiyi pay a heavy price!"

The steam ironclad battleship didn't come out as soon as it was built, but set off after Dongwu's familiarization trial.

In fact, when the new shipyard was about to be completed, these sailors, who were drawn from various armies, had already received military orders and were to drive the latest Ming Dynasty warships.From that point on, targeted training has begun.

After answering Yan Yingyuan, he remembered something again and reported to Yan Yingyuan: "We are working overtime in the shipyard, and there are two armored warships that are about to be launched!"

Yan Yingyuan actually knew about this situation.But after all, he didn't go to see it in person, and he felt relieved when he got the confirmation.Wait until a certain day in the future, when Daming is full of such iron-clad warships, let Xiyi try arrogantly?
Thinking of this, he became more motivated, immediately ordered to arrange the fleet's supplies, and started to get busy.

........................

When the fleet's next stop docked at the port of Goa controlled by the Portuguese, it caused another sensation.

Phillips, who had already returned to Goa, looked at the fleet in front of him, and couldn't help saying to Johnson beside him with emotion: "Including the fleet that passed before, the fleet of the Ming army, there are more than 300 large sailing warships alone. ?”

After hearing this, Johnson nodded and said, "That's right, if you add the more than 100 ships originally in Mumbai, there will be nearly [-] warships, not including transport ships!"

"The Ming Dynasty is so powerful! There are so many people and so many ships. If nothing else, just this number can drown those British and Dutch people!" Phillips exclaimed at first, but later he gloated about his misfortune. stand up.

Previously, I was forced to dare not fight by the combined fleet of about fifty British and Dutch ships, which was considered aggrieved.Now that it was the other way around, of course he would take pleasure in his misfortune.

Regarding this, Johnson, who has been in Haojingao for many years, was not surprised at all, and immediately responded to Phillips: "Let's not talk about these years, even the territory of the former Ming Dynasty is already equal to the sum of the entire Europe, even in terms of population. It says there is more to it. Once they unite as one, their war potential is far beyond what we Europeans can imagine."

Speaking of this, he paused, and finally said with great emotion: "What's more, in today's Ming Empire, the Holy Son is in power and the God of War is alive. As long as he is in charge of the battle, there is no battle that cannot be won. Now we are launching such a war. Large-scale warfare, believe Persia and Ottomans, will soon cease to exist!"

"It's great to destroy whoever you want to destroy!" Phillips said with great yearning after hearing this, "It was the right decision for Portugal to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, he suddenly shook his head and laughed at himself: "In order to build a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, His Highness decided to give both Colombo and Mumbai to the Ming Dynasty. It was ridiculous that I thought we were at a big loss. Looking at it now, the original It couldn't be more correct!"

"Really!" Johnson said with emotion after hearing this, "If we don't give it and the Ming army wants it, do you think we can resist it? As far as Daming is concerned, there is probably nothing that can catch their eyes It’s gone. In the sky and on the earth, there is nothing that the Ming army can’t get.”

Hearing this, Phillips suddenly turned his head and asked seriously: "You said, if the entire European countries unite to fight the Ming army, don't say that we are on the side of the Ming country, just in terms of facts, you Who do you think will win?"

When he said this, he thought of something and quickly added: "As of now, if such a war really happens, the battlefield must be in Europe. As a result, the Ming army's logistical supplies will be very difficult. Their military strength is certainly not as large as that of all European countries combined.”

After Johnson heard this, he thought for a moment, and when he was about to speak, Phillips jumped in and said: "Now is not the time when the Mongols were raging. Europe at that time was really bad. But today's Europe, no matter whether it is ordnance In terms of aspects, as well as in terms of tactics and warfare, they are no longer comparable to the original. You need to know this."

Johnson understood what he meant, that is to say, Europe was in the middle ages, so it couldn't beat the Mongols.But now, the Mongols are absolutely impossible to be opponents.In this case, can the Ming army win?
Faintly, he felt that Phillips seemed to see that the Ming army was so powerful that his buttocks were a little crooked.

Thinking about this, Johnson really thought about it seriously, and then said to Phillips equally seriously: "Today's Ming army is far from comparable to the original Mongols. If you really want me to tell you, you will be disappointed. "

When Phillips heard his words, he knew his answer, the Ming army would win!Needless to say, he was a little disappointed in his heart.

Looking at his expression, Johnson explained to him: "I'm really not talking nonsense. If you have been in the East for many years, like me in Haojingao for many years, you will be able to understand the Far Eastern Empire and Ming Dynasty today. How the emperor turned the world around and created a brilliant Ming Dynasty."

When he said this, he was very emotional: "Today's East is the most powerful East since ancient times. Anyone who dares to stand against the Ming Empire will cease to exist. Don't have any other thoughts and follow the powerful." Or, is our best choice!"

"Yeah!" Phillips listened, and extinguished the grievance in his heart about being East and West.Who cares, those are not good birds anyway, in this world, there should only be Daming and Portugal, the rest, all die!
Thinking of this, they went to the port, and then they saw the steam ironclad warship, and they were dumbfounded immediately.

Originally, the Portuguese were not involved in the attack on Persia, but as the commander of Goa's fleet, Phillips had to participate in the war. He wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful this steam-armored warship was!
