Thunder Emperor

Among the three people who greeted the inspection team, besides Qin Hui and his assistants, was Tong Guan, the supreme commander of the Xin Song Navy. The Creation Pill that tamed the potion returned to a complete male body.This makes him, like Liang Shicheng, regard Liu Qiang as a god, and he will go all out to complete Liu Qiang's words and try his best to do his best.The establishment of the Navy, since Liu Qiang handed it over to him, Tong Guan seemed to have gone crazy, and came to the government office compound every day to supervise related matters.

After nearly [-] months of hard work, the Quanzhou Naval Base has been completed, and the Quanzhou Shipyard has successfully completed the construction of all military treasure ships.These military treasure ships, which look no different from cargo treasure ships in appearance, actually have another mystery. Not only are iron protections installed under the deck and side ship plates, but also there are fifty hidden gun ports on both sides of the ship. , there are two large-caliber rear-mounted cannons at the bow and stern.This kind of cannon specially designed and manufactured for warships represents the highest technology of this era, because this kind of cannon is not a smoothbore gun, but a rifled gun with four rifling lines, and its shooting accuracy is much higher than that of the previous ones. The smoothbore gun has a far greater range than the old-fashioned cannon.

Two days later in the morning, Liu Qiang took all the members of the monitoring team in a flying boat and flew over the vast sea. Under their feet was the Xin Song Navy Fleet with [-] warships.The content of this military exercise is to encircle and suppress pirate strongholds. In order to show the training level of the naval forces more realistically, the target chosen by Tong Guan is not an imaginary enemy, but a group of real pirates. Tong Guan is preparing for this exercise to suppress Bandits to complete together, to their own efforts to hand in a satisfactory answer.

In order for the Xin Song Navy's first military operation to be carried out perfectly, Tong Guan dispatched no less than thirty small reconnaissance troops. These reconnaissance teams with only two or three people in each group are all local sailors carefully selected by Tong Guan. Since he lived at sea since he was a child, he is very familiar with this sea area.At this time, under their leadership, the huge naval fleet is moving forward on a secret channel. Tong Guan is standing on the ship tower of the flagship Flying Shark, holding a monocular telescope produced by the Song Dynasty Armament Factory, and is looking at the sea. The distant sea.

After nearly three hours of sailing, the fleet has slowly approached the target. It is located on Dajiu Island, more than 300 kilometers away from the west side of the Qiongzhou Strait. There is a group of pirates with a large number of people. Its scale is so large that it has nearly forty ships of various types, and its members have reached an astonishing thousand. Among these pirates are not only people from the Song Dynasty, but also many Japanese pirates, The pirates of Southeast Asian countries are obviously a collection of pirates from various countries.

The leader of this group of pirates is a Song Dynasty man named Fan Tao. He has lived at sea since he was born. When he was ten years old, his family’s fishing boat was in a shipwreck. It was the passing pirates who saved his life. He has been an orphan ever since. Fan Tao was a small pirate. After decades of hard work, he has now become the biggest pirate leader in the South China Sea, and because every time he plunders, he will massacre the crew of the plundered ship. So got a nickname of Butcher Van.

In a small leeward bay on Dausu Island, many simple wooden houses are densely built, and the roads between them are winding up, down, left, and right, like a three-dimensional maze. People who come here for the first time will definitely get lost in it. This is Fan A stronghold established by Butcher and his gang of pirates.At this time, in the watchtower at the highest point of the stronghold, two ragged pirates were chatting without saying a word, not paying any attention to a fleet turning out from the rear of the island.

Under the leadership of the flagship, the fleet of the Xin Song Navy passed through the narrow waterway smoothly. At this time, it had already sailed out from the rear of Dajiu Island, completely blocking the exit of the small bay. It was already the time when the sun was setting. The fleet was in the direction of the backlight, and only the dazzling sunset could be seen from Ousu Island.Twenty minutes later, all the ships of the fleet entered the attack position. After receiving the report from the adjutant, Tong Guan waved his hand and shouted loudly: "All attack!" The defending fleet, all the artillery on the side facing Dausu Island, burst into earth-shattering anger in an instant, and Liu Qiang, who was standing on the flying boat, said in surprise: "Devil Slayer Order!"

The hull of the Xin Song Navy has fifty artillery pieces on one side, and five thousand pieces for a hundred warships. Although they are all 90-caliber smoothbore guns, such intensive firepower strikes are rare even in land battles.At the time of the great victory at Luokou back then, it was nothing more than [-] cannons firing in salvo, but now there are [-] more than then, and the targets are so concentrated, that one round of shelling completely wiped out the original pirate stronghold. What's more, in order to ensure that no fish slipped through the net, Tong Guan hit for four consecutive rounds.

Because the three words "Devil Slaying Order" that Liu Qiang said at that time were heard by Li Qi who was on the side, so this method of naval warfare with intensive bombardment was named after it.Since then, the Song Dynasty Navy has used the "Devil Slaughter Order" every time, it will bring a huge shock to the local area. Then came the total surrender of the empire, and Tong Guan also won the title of "Demon Slayer".

So far, the Navy has occupied a place in the military establishment of the New Song Dynasty. It patrols the sea area of ​​​​the Song Dynasty every year, and fights against pirates to protect the tranquility of the coastline. It will send out a visiting team composed of navy and caravan every three years. On the route between Quanzhou and the Mulanpi Kingdom in West Africa, visiting various countries showed the national strength of the Xin Song Dynasty and carried out trade, making the Xin Song Dynasty a maritime power in the world.

The development of the marine industry has not changed. The New Song Dynasty has a vision of land territory. The Kingdom of Jin is still raising troops in the north, preparing to reserve forces to stare at the land of the Song Dynasty. Xixia, Uighur, Tubo and Dali are now afraid of the New Song Army. The new firearms still harass the border on a small scale from time to time. For this reason, the New Song Army formed several quick-response troops, but because the border is too long, the results obtained are very bad. The new Song State decided to attack the Jin State again.

The Kingdom of Jin is a new country, but its military power is very strong, and it was wiped out in just a few years. The land area of ​​the country is hundreds of times that of Daliao. Although there is help from the Song Dynasty, its power can be Solve problems alone.However, because of the Battle of Luokou and the death of Wanyan Aguda, the Kingdom of Jin is now in a state of chaos. The struggle for power among the princes has caused the political situation of the Kingdom of Jin to be unstable, and there are frequent wars among the various tribes. The precious development time of the Song regime.

Nearly two years have passed since the Battle of Luokou. The original Song Dynasty has been completely changed into the New Song Dynasty. Its economy, military and people's livelihood have been completely reformed. At this time, the new army of the Song Dynasty is so powerful that it can completely attack the Jin Kingdom. .The four-way army that had been stationed on the border between Song and Jin for nearly seven months began in the early morning of May 1126, the eighth year of Xuanhe (AD [-]). A full-scale surprise attack was launched, and it has been four years since Liu Qiang traveled through.

On May 21st, the third and fourth armies (one, two, three, and four from west to east) had successfully converged outside Shangjing, preparing to attack the capital of the Kingdom of Jin.The large forces of the Jin army were firmly restrained by the other two new Song armies, so that there were only 9 defenders in Shangjing at this time, while the two Song armies had nearly [-] troops, and nearly [-] smoothbores. cannon.

On May 23, Liu Qiang personally came to the Song Army camp outside Shangjing, preparing to take the post of military governor himself. He wanted to see how Shangjing was broken. And this time it will be Liu Qiang who is a time traveler.The current Shangjing has been surrounded by the new army of the Song Dynasty. The [-] army is divided into four directions to prepare to attack the city, and the [-] cannons are also divided into four teams. Now they are ready for shelling.

At one o'clock at noon, the siege of Shangjing began. The capital city of the Kingdom of Jin, which had only been built for two years, was not the first to be baptized by cannons, but the new weapon honeycomb rocket launcher brought by Liu Qiang.This new weapon is based on the principle of the Katyusha rocket launcher, Li Qi uses pig iron and bamboo to make the projectile, and the interior is filled with exquisite new black powder. After testing, although the range is only two kilometers, the explosion effect and flight stability are completely perfect Reaching the weapon level, this time is its debut.

Liu Qiang brought a total of 300 rocket launchers this time, and they are all lined up in front of the position. In order to better observe the effect of the shelling, Liu Qiang has already flown [-] meters into the air.Flying in front of tens of thousands of troops like this makes all the soldiers feel extremely proud, because they know that there is a god in their country as the national teacher, and this national teacher is the general of their new army, and they can see it with their own eyes. It is a very proud thing to see this great general, Yufeng Feifei, show his supernatural powers.
