I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

The commander of the fifth army nodded, raised his hand and saluted, and accepted the task.

After the other party took the order, Qi Yuan thought for a while and said: "In a few days, there will be a batch of three bunnies transported, and I will send them all to you. In addition, I will give you half of the three bunnies from other legions. You use These Sanbengzi specially formed a fast-moving corps to be responsible for patrolling and security on the logistics line."

"After the war, it will all belong to me, right?"

Hearing that so many Sanbengzi had been assigned to him, the head of the Fifth Legion's eyes lit up.

Qi Yuan shook his head amusedly, "I'm just giving it to you, can you afford it? Each legion only has so much fuel to supply, and there is no fuel for those three beggars, and you still plan to let your subordinates pull it."

"Hahaha……"

There was another burst of laughter, and the leader of the Fifth Army scratched his head without caring about the laughter, and took over the task.

After arranging the task of guarding the city and logistics, Qi Yuan looked at the remaining three army commanders.

"The task of attacking the fortifications is left to our four brothers. Whether we can achieve a good record or not depends on whether our brothers work hard or not."

The three legion commanders stood neatly, raised their hands and thumped their chests, and said loudly: "If you don't destroy the enemy army, you will never turn back!"

Qi Yuan nodded and raised his hand in salute.

"Leave tomorrow to launch an attack on the Ottoman defense line."

It was only dawn on the second day, and the gates of the city of Jerusalem were opened.

The well-armed soldiers lined up neatly and advanced quickly under the leadership of the officer's flag.

The people of Jerusalem, who were still strengthening the defense line outside the city, looked at the endless marching team with complex expressions in their eyes.

The reason why their expressions are complicated is because they don't know whether to be grateful to these Ming troops, or hate and resent these Ming troops.

They were caught and separated from their families and worked hard every day to build fortifications for these Ming troops.

However, these Ming troops were very well disciplined, unlike their own troops who demanded from them, even used food or other means to humiliate women, let alone forced buying and selling to beat common people.

Because of this, their emotions towards the Ming army are very complicated.

Naturally, Qi Yuan didn't know about the complex emotions of the people in the Roko Kingdom, and even if he knew, he wasn't interested in it.

In the words of His Royal Highness, Qi Yuan is an extreme democrat. In his mind, except for Ming people, other races are really no different from animals.

If necessary, he would sacrifice all these alien races without hesitation, and he didn't feel any guilt or shame in his heart.

"Do you really want to do this? In the east, our homeland is already at war with the Timur Empire. At this time, our best choice is not to provoke Ottoman, but to help the local side and block Ottoman's rescue route."

On the swaying three-bounce car, Sa Xuer looked at Qi Yuan who was staring at the map, and expressed her thoughts.

"Block the rescue, how to block it?"

Qi Yuan glanced at him, and tapped the pencil on the map.

"Osman wants to support Timur. They have a lot of routes and methods. It is simply impossible for me to stop them with 6 or [-] people."

Sa Xu'er heard the words and said angrily: "So you chose to attack?"

Qi Yuan raised his eyelids, "Then what can you do? Haven't you heard that the best defense is offense?"

Sa Xuer snorted twice, and spread her hands, "Okay, you are a military commander, so it's up to you."

"But I want to explain to you in advance, if you lose the battle because of this, the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will blame you, don't implicate me."

Qi Yuan chuckled, "Don't worry, I've fought battles for so many years, and I've never implicated anyone else."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking to the other party, bowed his head and continued to study the military map in his hand.

"How do you deal with Constantinople? It's their important military production base. If you plan to launch an attack and destroy it, it will bring you unexpected benefits."

Qi Yuan nodded, "I don't need you to tell me about this, the navy has already sent someone there."

Tianlong Canal, a naval military base.

"stand at attention!"

Following the roar of the duty officer, hundreds of naval generals in the conference room stood at attention collectively and looked towards the door.

"Tap tap..."

There was a sound of footsteps approaching from far away, and soon a man in his 50s, who was not tall but had a particularly strong body, strode in with several generals.

"salute!"

All the officers raised their hands in salute, and greeted their supreme naval commander, Li Hu, Chief of the Ming Navy!

After more than ten years of development, the strength of the navy has grown from a hundred ships at the beginning to a huge number of 1800 ships of various types.

As the commander of the world's largest navy, Li Hu seldom sails out to sea, and spends most of his time in Weihaiwei handling naval work, or training a new batch of naval personnel for the Ming Navy.

Originally, this time the armored fleet came to support Qi Yuan, Zhu Zhangui planned to send an admiral to come.

As a result, after Li Hu found out, this guy was a stalker, crying and yelling to come by himself.

In the words of this old guy, since he returned to Daming and became the chief officer of the navy, he has never personally commanded a warship to fight a battle.

Now it is said that he is the head of the navy, but he is actually more like a civil servant.

Now that he is getting older, it has not been a few years since the Navy stipulates that he will retire at the age of 65. Before retiring, he wants to personally command the fleet to fight a battle and have a perfect curtain call.

Zhu Zhangui, who was impatient with this guy, finally agreed to his request and entrusted him with the task of launching a naval battle to the west.

They even changed the original plan to send only one armored fleet to mobilize 1/2 of the fleet of Ming Dynasty and send it to the west to destroy the western naval power and prepare for the next step of conquest.

After receiving the mission, Li Hule's snot bubbles came out, and he happily took the successor he picked, led the huge naval fleet, and brought the supplies and equipment for the Roko Kingdom and Qiyuan, as well as the reinforcements, to the west. .

After taking over the command of the entire western navy, Li Hu began to prepare for the war in the western ocean that he had planned for many years.

"sit!"

Pressing his hands to the saluting generals, Li Hu smiled and asked everyone to sit down, then looked at the generals with a smile and said: "Brothers, after more than ten years, the world ocean war we have been looking forward to has finally begun. "

Hearing this, the generals below showed smiles on their faces.

From the day they created the Navy, the Navy has planned to wage a war of the oceans against the world.

Over the past ten years, the various tactics they have been deducing every day have finally come in handy today.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let me tell you about our next mission."

After chatting with his old brothers, Li Hu took a folder and began to read out the task.

The naval generals below also quickly took out their notebooks and prepared to record them.

"We have a total of three combat missions this time. They are to annihilate the naval forces of the Alliance of Allah, destroy Constantinople, an important industrial base of the other side, and escort Lord Zhenhai to the New World!"

"Now I order!"

"Hoohoo!"

All the admirals immediately got up and stood by.

"The first and second squadrons follow my armored fleet and are responsible for the first and second combat objectives!"

"Yes!"

The two squadron commanders immediately responded loudly.

"[-]rd, [-]th, [-]th Squadron, your goal is to go west along the Mediterranean Sea. Firstly, to deliver things to our ally, and secondly, to destroy all the ships that do not hang the flag of Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes!"

Three more squadron commanders responded loudly.

"Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Fleet, although you are not on a combat mission, it is equally difficult. You must protect Lord Zhenhai and escort him to the two continents he once discovered."

"Yes!"

"Okay, the above are the combat objectives of our army. As for how to fight, I believe I don't need to explain. In the past ten years, we have practiced more than once. I believe you all know it well."

"However, I would like to say something here. If I win the battle, I will personally ask His Highness for credit. If I lose, don't embarrass me. Jump into the sea and feed the sharks yourself!"

"Yes!"

All the officers roared loudly.

On the eighth day of October in the fourth year of Hongxi, the navy that had already arrived in the West and the Western Expeditionary Corps launched an attack at the same time.

The navy's most elite fleet led by Li Hu went directly northward from the canal to Cyprus Island, looking for the Allah Allah naval forces that might be stationed there to fight.

On land, Qi Yuan led 4 legions with more than 4 people, and marched towards Aleppo along the route of the Roko Kingdom's attack.

The two combat forces are like a pair of scissors, trying to completely cut off Ottoman's territory across the strait.

On October [-]th in the fourth year of Hongxi, the island of Cyprus was dozens of nautical miles away.

Li Hu saw the fleet hastily raising the sails in the distance, and the fleet was hurriedly heading out to sea, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He has been a naval commander for so many years, and finally got the opportunity to personally command the fleet to fight.

It's also ridiculous to say that he is a majestic naval commander, but he has never commanded his fleet to fight, which is really speechless.

That is to say, he has taught many admirals, otherwise his subordinates would have doubted whether this chief admiral would know how to fight in the navy.

At three quarters in the morning, the two navies were fifteen nautical miles apart.

The ships of the Ming Dynasty Navy were fully mobilized, and the gun covers were lifted to prepare for battle, while the Allah Alliance Navy on the opposite side had just started to move.

At the end of the era, the Alliance of Allah's navy had just deployed, and the Ming navy launched an attack under Li Hu's order.

Daming currently has 8 ironclad warships, except for the original Zhenyuan Dingyuan, the other 6 warships are all [-]-ton warships.

In terms of the caliber of the artillery, it has a larger caliber and a longer range than the battleship artillery of the Zhenyuan Dingyuan.

Following Li Hu's order, the six battleships that seized the T prefix sent ear-splitting roars to the enemy. The thick shells rubbed against the air, roaring like a train, and smashed fiercely at the battleships of the Alliance of Allah.

Chapter 378: The only naval battle with zero casualties in history!

"By Allah, is this Daming?"

Lusa stared dumbfounded at the huge fleet of battleships covering the entire sea, his eyes widened.

In his heart, he had already imagined that Da Ming was very powerful, but when he saw Da Ming's battleships today, he suddenly realized that his imagination was still too lacking.

In his mind, no matter how powerful the Ming Navy is, there are only a few hundred warships, and they are of different sizes.

After all, if the Ming Dynasty's navy is strong, it won't be able to snatch the boats from the Portuguese country to guard the canal.

However, when he saw the real Daming Navy today, he realized that he was thinking too much.

The 8 steel warships radiated a cold light under the sunlight, and there were no less than 400 large warships of the same model, covering the entire sea surface. The snow-white sails were like waves on the sea surface, and there was no end to the past. (The first and second squadrons are the main fleet formations, each formation has 150 warships, and the extra is the frigate of the steel squadron.)

After seeing Daming's warships, he looked back at the pitiful 300 warships behind him, and they were still warships of different sizes. Lusa felt that today might be the day of his death.

Although his number was about the same as the opponent's, his size was far worse. His flagship was not as big as an ordinary warship of the opponent's, let alone compared with those eight steel warships. There was simply no comparison between a beggar and a rich man.

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly there was a strange roar in the sky. Lusa looked up and saw a dozen small black spots flying towards him rapidly.

"Enemy artillery attack, pay attention to avoid!"

Lusa let out a heart-piercing roar.

God, the distance is at least six nautical miles, and they have already entered Daming's range.

By Allah, at this moment he found that the artillery that made him proud was not even as good as a wooden shield.

"Boom boom boom..."

More than a dozen shells fell back and forth, two of which hit the target, and the rest all fell into the sea.

Of the two poor guys who were hit, a raging fire ignited on one of the ships, and the crew members who were burned by the flames wailed heart-piercing pain.

The other one was even more unlucky and hit the ammunition depot, exploded directly, and exploded into countless fragments. The crew were very lucky, and passed away without any pain. Perhaps this is the luck among misfortunes.

As for the others, even if they failed, the shells that exploded on the bottom of the sea formed a powerful shock wave, shaking the surrounding warships.

"Damn it, go up, go up and mingle with them... spread out, don't get together..."

Seeing that his side had lost two warships before they entered the range of engagement, Lusa was furious and cursed.

Although he was angry in his heart, the anger didn't blind his mind. He knew that now was not the time to get angry, and he should immediately mix with the enemy and engage in a follow-up battle, infinitely disintegrating the enemy's advantage.

Following the order from Lusa, the warships of the Alliance of Allah quickly broke into pieces and rushed towards the Ming battleship group from all directions.

"Hehe, the mayfly shakes the tree, and the mantis arms block the car!"

In the command room of the Dingyuan ship, Li Hu, who was holding a telescope, saw the opponent's warship disintegrated into pieces, so he understood what the opponent was thinking.
