Chapter 429 Firearms Are King

The two dynasties have been fighting for two centuries, so that they are generally considered to be two completely different countries.

Even later, there were North and South Vietnam.

Looking at the changes in the two dynasties, after all, the Zheng family was more sorry for the Ruan family.

But there is no right or wrong in fighting for hegemony, it is nothing more than not being strong enough to overwhelm the opponent.

Just like now, Ruan Fuyuan's first reaction when he heard Daming's invasion of Zheng's was not to gloat, but to have mixed feelings.

He immediately called his two sons, the second Ruan Fulan and the third Ruan Fuming.

The two sons gasped after hearing this.

"Is Daming's fleet really so sharp? Only a dozen ships can wipe out all of Zheng's warships?" Ruan Futian asked in surprise.

"In fact, among their fleet of eighteen warships, only seven attacked."

"Father, what you said is true?" Ruan Fuming, the third child, said suspiciously, looking confused.

"Stinky boy! Will I lie to you!?"

Ruan Fuyuan made a gesture to get angry, Ruan Fuming hurriedly begged for mercy, but still said in disbelief:

"I've heard the red-haired ghost mention that Daming has a terrifying fleet, but I haven't seen it before. I thought it was a rumor."

"No! This is what the people below saw with their own eyes. I asked you to come here to ask your views on this matter." Ruan Fuyuan looked at his two sons, and there was a hint of testiness in his words.

"I think Zheng Bing is in danger this time." Ruan Fulan, who had been silent all this time, said in a low tone.

"Oh? Talk about it!"

Ruan Fuyuan looked at his second son with interest.

He said he was the second son, but he is actually his eldest son now, because the eldest son passed away a few years ago.

He was already old, and he deeply felt that he would not live long, and among his many sons, only the two in front of him could take on great responsibilities.But I heard that the third child seems to have some other thoughts, and I don't know if the second child will be able to suppress it in the future.

"Not only is Zheng Bing in danger, I'm afraid we are also in danger. It is very necessary to prepare early."

"Second brother, you are a bit unfounded to worry about. Let's not talk about whether Da Ming can win the Northern Dynasty. No matter how powerful Da Ming is, is it possible that he can fight on multiple fronts and eat us together? History is there, how many times has Da Ming If you want to get your hands dirty, don't you all fail? This time it will work?"

Ruan Fuchen scoffed, obviously disapproving of his elder brother's opinion.

"Third brother. Looking at the history of Ming Dynasty, it is obvious that Daming is far stronger than we imagined. As long as they want to kill us, it is not whether they can kill us. Now, we may encounter To an emperor who desperately wants to kill us and bring the whole of Jiaozhi into the territory of Ming Dynasty."

"But..." Ruan Fuyuan wanted to interrupt the second brother, but Ruan Fuyuan raised his hand to stop him.

He lowered his head silently, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared when he raised it up.

"Father, three places. This matter starts with the succession of Emperor Chongzhen of Daming. The reason for our struggle with the Zheng family is that Zheng Bing felt that there was a border trouble outside the northern border of Daming, and the country was declining, so he had no time to worry about him. Did he want to launch an attack without any hesitation? If Da Ming is still strong, he may have to weigh it.

But not long after, Emperor Qi passed away, and everyone thought that the newly enthroned Chongzhen was a young man, and it was easy to handle.However, he repeatedly broke the rules, and quickly took the entire court into his own hands.He also founded the Royal Military Academy, which has trained a large number of loyal young generals. Over the years, military academy students have become the backbone of the Ming army.Emperor Chongzhen's control over local armaments became stronger and stronger.

Not only that, but his biggest feature is his love of firearms.

As soon as he took office, he reused several officials who were good at making firearms. When everyone thought that the emperor was not doing his job properly, they even worked out a kind of musket fired with flint.In the second year when Jiannu entered the customs, he showed his might and beat Huang Taiji to a half.Since then, Jiannu has no longer the strength to go south, and he hides in Liaodong and dare not go south.Until a few years later, it was wiped out in one fell swoop by the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

So far, no one dared to say that the emperor was playful and despondent, and loved strange skills and obscenity.Because Emperor Chongzhen not only likes to make firearms, but also likes to kill people.It is said that he gave a death order to his Jin Yiwei, and every time he would arrest the officials who committed the crime, he would personally perform skin cramps.It is said that the officials of the Ming Dynasty dare not even speak casually when they go to court, because they may move their heads if they say something wrong.I heard that the most powerful people in their cabinet have also become responders, and people jokingly call them the old gang of the paper cabinet.

Emperor Chongzhen's control over the court was unprecedentedly strong, and another characteristic of his character began to be exposed.

With a paranoid pursuit of expanding the territory, Liaodong, North Korea, Taiwan, and Luzon were annexed by him one by one.If we open the map, we can clearly see that Emperor Chongzhen's claws must extend to the south in the next step. Nanzhang, Siam, Cambodia, even the Toungoo Dynasty and Rakhine are all trembling under his claws.

I really don't understand, what kind of ambition and guts did Zheng Bing eat, to dare to provoke this behemoth in this situation!They were able to annihilate Zheng's navy with seven warships, they must have sharp artillery, probably even sharper than those red-haired ghosts in Europe!This can be seen from the hundreds of Spaniards who have easily entrenched in Luzon for many years.

And this time they dared to land with more than 1 soldiers, they must be equipped with the new flintlock muskets that defeated Jiannu back then. It is said that ordinary matchlock guns can shoot five rounds. A terrifying one.

The development trend of the future battlefield must be the king of firearms!I have been asking someone to get a new type of musket like this, but unfortunately Daming's control is extremely strict, so I haven't gotten one until now.So, I guess.This time, Zheng Bing, it's going to be difficult! "

After Ruan Fulan finished speaking, Ruan Fuyuan was stunned, and Ruan Fuming was also stunned.

Hearing his analysis, it seems that Zheng Bing is doomed this time, and it seems that he has few days left to live.

"After talking for a long time, what does it have to do with us? He Daming didn't attack us." Although Ruan Fuming admired him in his heart, he was not convinced and retorted habitually.

But he didn't know that just his words completely ruined his position as heir.

In terms of vision alone, the third son that I have always liked is far behind the second son.

"Third brother, you should know the reason why our lips are dead and our teeth are cold. Although we and Zheng Bing are enemies right now, what about in the future? If the Zheng family is destroyed, can our Ruan family still be good?"

"Then what should we do? Could it be possible to help Zheng Bing beat Ming people!?"

"It's not impossible!"

Ruan Fulan said softly.
