I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

If Prince Gong Yijinjin regains power, he, the Mongol holding Cixi, will die and his family will be wiped out, and all the wealth of his family will become the deposits of Guiziliu's foreign firm, it may only be overnight.

"This king understands!"

Thinking of the eighteen young princesses far away in Tongliao, Suotna gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't they Ming people, and they are not monsters with three heads and six arms. This king has Japanese pirates who are good at water warfare, and they are built with 500-year-old giant trees in Daxing'an Mountains." , the most authentic giant ship of hundreds of feet, I don’t believe it, we men can’t run into Zhu Fugui!”

"Okay! My lord, you are worthy of being recommended by the monk king, the national pillar of the Eight Banners!"

Li Lianying also slapped her thigh, and gave a thumbs up in a shrill voice: "The servant will definitely go to the Empress Dowager, and when the prince wins and returns, he will set up a celebration banquet in the Qianqing Palace to cleanse the prince and cleanse the dust. Return!"

Chapter 479

Sortna was used to the vast sea.

It's not easy being a Mongolian.

Sotna felt that if half of the Mongolian warriors under Kublai Khan's Eastern Expedition were good at water, then they would not be blocked by mere kamikaze.

In that case, I might not be the Tongliao Khan, but the Emperor of Japan, at least a famous name that can dominate one side.

After all, Zhu Baba was able to fight again, so he gave up his plan to go straight to Kyoto and punish Japan. Japan is likely to be the last stronghold of Dayuan.

It's a pity that the Mongolian navy is unbearable, and the Tongliao Empire is doomed to be unable to drink the Kanagawa horse. Sotna's dream can only be a dream.

In fact, Sauter would rather not learn to swim by himself.

Because it's all forced.

Drifting on the sea with a log in his arms until he landed on the island of scallops given by God, this is a journey of hell that no one wants to experience.

And now it is also a desperate move to attack Emperor Zhu Fuguigou's ship.

Even, this reminded Suotna of Lin Chong's bridge to Mount Liang on a snowy night.

"At the same time, Tianya is a fallen person, even if we never meet again, this is still fate. Coach Lin, this bowl of water and wine is toast to you!"

Sitting on the deck, looking at the sky that was gradually burning red by the setting sun, Sortna raised his glass to the sky and drank a glass.

Sautna was not wearing his princely clothes, but a fisherman's attire.

Not only him, but also the Qing soldiers and Wa Banners on the boat were all dressed in fishermen's clothes.

In fact, it cannot be said to be the clothes of fishermen. Whether it is Japanese pirates, sea merchants who go to sea, or the unpopular Danmin, they basically all wear this kind of clothing.

Sotna was going to cheat and surprise the dog emperor Zhu Fugui. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, at least he had to do his basic homework in disguise and surprise attack.

Otherwise, if you encounter Baoming along the way, or even merchant ships from the southern provinces, if you and these people are wearing Qing soldiers' uniforms, aren't they 50 walking, waiting to be captured?

"Grand Mo Xiao, drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times!"

"happy!"

Sautna took another drink.

This is by no means our Lord Suo's greedy drink, and it's not that Lord Suo wants to use alcohol to boost his courage, but it's just a Mongolian tradition that the eagle spreads its wings and hangs three cups on one wing!

It's a pity that the shallow Japanese slave on the opposite side didn't think so.

This time, under the command of the Japanese Eight Banners, who was forced by Suotena to go with him, Tokugawa Yoshiki, the former Japanese general who conquered barbarians, was sitting opposite the wine case, his face ashen ashes.

After hesitating for a long time, Tokugawa Yoshiki still began to persuade: "My lord, is our strategy of sneaking into Osaka this time and taking advantage of the darkness of the night to expose the fleet too hasty? We don't even have a series of tricks or bitter tricks. Dongfeng didn’t borrow it either!”

"idiot!"

Suotna stretched out his hand and slapped Tokugawa Yoshiki and turned around, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I don't dare to be humble, I dare not!" Tokugawa Yoshiki said hastily, clutching his swollen cheeks.

"Just don't dare, do you think this king doesn't know the importance of the right time and place? Let me tell you, this king has already known the direction of the wind tonight! The correct rate is as high as 64.4%"

Sauter said proudly.

As for why he knew it so clearly, and there were a lot of odds and ends, it was because he bought the latest copy of the "Daming Royal Meteorological Guide".

In any age, knowledge is power and knowledge is money.

As a tutor, Zhu Fugui also brought a few students majoring in meteorology with him.

Using these cheap labor, and a 20 yuan scientific calculator for middle school students, Daming is now able to roughly calculate the weather information in the territory.

This primitive weather forecast is very useful for agricultural production and shipping, so Daming will update it regularly.

Of course, the accuracy rate is low, and we will not be responsible for any deviation.

Seeing that Sotna was so confident, Tokugawa Yoshiki had no choice but to truthfully say: "I just think that we have such a powerful battleship as the Fuxue, why don't we try to harass the pseudo-Mingdu Gofu and rob the coastal areas? "

The Fuxue that Tokugawa Yoshiki was talking about was the battleship they were riding on now.

The name of the battleship "Fengxue" is the combination of "Kamikaze" and "Snowy Night".

This was taken by Prince Suotna himself. In a sense, as the number one lucky general of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Suo really has something.

……

The Fengxue is 47 meters long and has a displacement of nearly 750 tons. It represents the strongest shipbuilding level in the north of the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty, and was guided by Russian boatmen (referring to sleeping with vodka 90% of the time).

In all fairness, the workmanship of the Fengxue is indeed very good, and it can even be said to be a model of the combination of Chinese and Western.

If placed in a museum, it is definitely a great collection.

Or in the Wanli period, it was enough to become a vital force on the battlefield of the Korean War, at least much stronger than the famous turtle ship.

The construction of the Fengxue cost a full 40 taels of silver, 500 trees of more than 23-year-old timber in the Daxing'an Mountains, and [-] catties of iron sheets.

That's right, my Qing Dynasty is not obsessed with ancient times, but with eyes open to see the world.

Now is the era of iron armored ships, and the main battleship of my Qing Dynasty is naturally iron armored.

To put it simply, Suotna sent people to secretly purchase a few tons of bright iron sheets, wiped off the logo with sandpaper, and repainted the mark of Dongjiang Town thanks to the rampant sale of bright goods.

Then it was reported to the imperial court that under the wise leadership of Prince Suo, the skilled craftsmen of Pidao finally broke through the technical blockade and produced our own tinplate.

Of course, the 9 or [-] taels of silver that disappeared from Dongjiang Town's accounts before naturally became the funds for Lord Suo to lead the development of the iron-clad ship.

This is just a microcosm of the construction process of the Fengxue.

In short, this is the first "iron-clad ship" independently built by the Qing Dynasty, which is based on the Zhangzhou Big Bird ship in the late Ming Dynasty, and wrapped with iron sheets on the bow and flanks. After the silver of the ship was born.

And today's silver is much more valuable than that of Dingzhen's Second Ship.

Therefore, considering the depreciation of silver, the cost of this iron-clad wooden hull ship is almost equivalent to 1/3 of the Dingyuan ship.

And its tonnage is only 1/10 of Dingyuan.

As for the material and technical level, there is no need to mention it.

But even such a ship was extolled by Xingzhen's family, calling it the Qiancheng of the country and the artifact of resisting the Ming Dynasty.

So now being forced by his political opponents to run into Da Ming, he can't blame others.

But my family knows my own family affairs, especially Tokugawa Yoshiki, who had obtained first-hand information on the Mingfa Shimonoseki naval battle. Let alone Daming's ship.

Even Tokugawa Yoshiki suspected that the two American armored gunboats he ordered from General Lincoln back then were more capable of fighting than the ships built by the Qing Dynasty.

Chapter 480 Folks in the north, I want to kill you

It's a pity that Tokugawa Yoshiki thought he was tricked by Lincoln and never met the ironclad ship of my shogunate.

But in fact he has seen it.

When he fled Edo in a hurry, he saw him from a distance.

But at that time, the two ships had already taken the shape of Daming.

One is called Jiading and the other is called Yangzhou.

Anyway, Fengxue is a ship of more than 700 tons, and it was also a huge ship in the shogunate.

That's why Tokugawa Yoshiki proposed to return to the old business of the Japanese pirates and use the Fuxue to harass the coast of the Washima Dogofu.

It would be even better if Katafan of Wajima could not go into the sea, and it would certainly greatly damage Baoming's prestige.

No matter how bad it is, it can make Bao Ming exhausted.

It can be said that Tokugawa's plan is not to say that it will be successful, but at least it is a way, which is relatively reasonable.

But I have my own national conditions in the Qing Dynasty.

When did I mention the word "reasonable" in the domestic and foreign policy of the Qing Dynasty?

"General Tokugawa, do you think this king doesn't understand naval warfare? In fact, you don't understand party struggle!"

Suotna sighed, and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. I'm not going to die. There are seven fast boats on the Fengxue. When we get near the ship of the dog emperor, we will put down the fast boats. Fill it with isinglass, kerosene and other things, rush into the harbor, and just burn a few exposed ships at will, it will be a great achievement!"

"So that's how it is. This is how Lord Guo Xing used to deal with the big Dutch ships, ah bah, right?"

Tokugawa Yoshiki's eyes lit up, but then he asked again, "But this requires a warrior who is not afraid of death. Have we ever trained such talents..."

Tokugawa Yoshiki couldn't continue as he was talking, because he found that on the big face of Lord Suote, a pair of black mung bean eyes were staring at him...

"Masaka...sikasi...linen belt..."

Tokugawa Yoshiki went from doubt to panic, from panic to begging...

……

As night fell, probably because of the good name and full luck, the Fengxue did not encounter any patrol boats from the Wajima Governor's Mansion along the way.

Moreover, it was only about 700 tons, and it was in the shape of a big bird ship. The Fengxue was more like a civilian ship than a warship.

Along the way, the merchant ships that come and go come and go, and the other party regards it as a poor fellow.

You can't even afford a small steamer in Daming, and you dare to come to Fusang Waterway to run a business, and I won't die with you!

Under the contempt of the bosses of various ships, the Fuxue, led by the old Japanese captain, quietly sailed into the Osaka Bay Area. It is far away from Kobe Port where the Emperor Dog's ship will berth in the intelligence (referring to "Daming Daily"). It's getting closer.

At this time, Sauter did not dare to drink anymore, but held the railing with sweaty palms, waiting for the judgment of fate.

At this time, Tokugawa Yoshiki and thirty Japanese "warriors" with black noses and swollen faces had been invited by the Qing soldiers to board the "Kamikaze" assault boat with fists and sabers.

Of course, Sautna had no way to guarantee the loyalty of these Japanese, but he had no other choice but to use their families left in Phi Island and Jinzhou as a threat.

Whether they want to be decent, or want to be decent, it depends on how they choose.

According to the chart, as long as it gets a little closer, the suicide assault boat can be lowered.

Tokugawa Yoshiki is right, this is the method used by Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and his sons to deal with Hongmao Fanzi, and it is also the most common method in classical naval battles.

As for whether it still works in the age of ironclad ships, Lord Suo thinks it should still work.

Since Qiu Chuji's meeting, Taoism has profoundly influenced the Mongols.

As a result, Buryats who are thousands of miles away in future generations still like to draw yin and yang fish on themselves.

As the Khan of Tongliao, Prince Suo was of course deeply influenced by Taoism.

Huo Kejin, he firmly believed.

After all, he has done experiments with the "independently developed" Daqing iron sheet in Jiangdong Town. As long as the fire is strong enough, it can completely burn through the iron armor!

"Closer, come closer!"

Sortna was already sweating on his brow.

No matter how ignorant he was, he also knew that the distance that those human-driven assault boats could sprint was limited, and if it was too far, these short orientals would not be able to paddle at all.

However, the scene that Sauter was most worried about happened.

A beam of dazzling light hit the deck, and the tweeter sounded: "This is the inspector of Jinghai, the Protectorate of Washima Island in the Ming Dynasty. The sea area has been temporarily controlled, please leave quickly, please leave quickly!"

"Hey, these shameless bandits actually disguised their warships as patrol ships!"

Sort's eyes widened, looking at the inspection ship in front of him, which was not much shorter than the Fengxue, "This is definitely A Mingzai's trick! They must have discovered us!"

Sortna was terrified and didn't know for a moment whether he should order the assault boat to be lowered in advance, or turn the old-fashioned red cannons on the ship to launch a pre-emptive strike.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers on the inspection ship of the Protectorate's Mansion are now also having a headache.

Obviously, the layout has been done very meticulously, but why is there still a dilapidated fishing boat from a fellow villager mixed in?

According to the notice, the Son of Heaven (Father) ship Shenzhou has set sail and will be here soon.

If this dilapidated fishing boat from the village doesn't leave in time, I'm afraid there will be an accident!

The inspector kept repeating the warning earnestly, and even worried that the other party was a Japanese who hadn't learned the elegant language, so he made an exception and warned again in Japanese.
