Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Ning Fan is still very confident about the upcoming war. After all, he is waiting for work. In addition, Dakang has deployed numerous defense lines on the coastline, so the English do not have an advantage.

Therefore, although this war has not really started, Ning Fan has already anticipated his true ending. The only people who will lose this war are the English.

The British want to use force to open the country to Dakang and dump opium inside Dakang. This is something Ning Fan absolutely cannot agree to and tolerate. What he wants now is the right to be on an equal footing with the British, and both sides must trade on an equal footing. .

Ning Fan even wants to use this war to get the English to temporarily give up the trade rights of the entire Eastern Continent. The two sides will not invade each other from the east to the west, and the two sides will not infringe upon each other.

When the British warships entered the firing range, Luo Yong decisively ordered the bombardment to begin. The deafening sound of the cannons brought up bursts of gunpowder smoke, and the shells raised soaring spray on the sea.

When the English fleet realized something was wrong and wanted to turn around, it was already too late. Hundreds of Dakang's cannons roared and set off waves on the sea. Hundreds of large English ships were completely unable to withstand a single bombardment.

After the first round of artillery battle, more than half of the British warships were lost.

There were cheers on the coastline. The soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army were very excited when they saw the British warships being burned by gunfire. Some warships even raised white flags.

"This is how the current war is. No one is required to charge and kill in person. Only one round of artillery bombardment is needed to make the enemy flee."

Ning Fan was still very satisfied with the ending, especially when he saw the white flag raised on the English warship, Ning Fan even smiled.

As the saying goes, it is indecent to reciprocate. This Englishman was extremely barbaric and rampant at sea. Now that he has suffered a loss, he finally knows that Dakang is a hard nut to crack.

"Your Majesty, everyone has surrendered. Should we stop the bombardment?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are a country of etiquette. We should not argue with these barbarians. Since the other party has admitted defeat, then we should invite them ashore."

Luo Yong and Qin Ying both felt that they should stop attacking at this time, but Ning Fan shook his head.

"War is war. Don't talk about a country of etiquette. The English fleet is still at least more than half strong. If we stop at this time, if they make a surprise attack, which of you can withstand it?"

"You know, this distance has not yet reached the range of the English naval guns. If their large ships are allowed to approach and launch indiscriminate attacks on our turrets at sea, I am afraid that our efforts for several days will be ruined. "

A sneer appeared at the corner of Ning Fan's lips. Ning Fan didn't care about such a name as a so-called country of etiquette. He even felt a little disgusted by such a name.

A country of etiquette, to put it bluntly, it is cowardly!

The underlying logic of this world is that the weak eat the strong. If you want to deny this fact, you are lying to yourself.

"Ignore them, let me continue the bombardment, and reduce their warships to only one-fifth, and then we will stop."

Ning Fan gritted his teeth and showed a sinister smile on his face. After receiving the order, Luo Yong no longer hesitated and began to order a second round of bombardment to cover the English warships on the sea indiscriminately.

Dakang's research on weapons is comparable to that of the English, but the English's cannons are placed on ships, which determines that their cannons cannot be too large.

The biggest reason why the range of Dakang's shore-based cannons can exceed that of the British naval guns is that the cannons are installed on the shore, without having to consider recoil and sturdiness.

There was another round of artillery fire. The English warships tried to escape, but were covered by the artillery fire. After half an hour, only one-fifth of the English warships were left.

Many British soldiers jumped onto the lifeboats, raised white flags, and kept wailing in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ying was very excited, because Dakang's team also encountered such a situation a few days ago. Now Ning Fan is reciprocating tooth for tooth, blood for blood, ambushing hundreds of artillery on the shore, and giving the British a A hard lesson learned.

"These English people are so stupid that they thought we, Dakang, would send out ships and engage in naval battles with them. But they didn't know that we could catch them on the shore, and they would die if they came!" "

Luo Cheng, who was following Ning Fan, said with a smile.

Everyone was in a happy mood. This war was fought inexplicably. It was really satisfying to beat the enemy without even using a single soldier, leaving them abandoned and wailing on the ground.

"Your Majesty, do we want to continue? There are still a lot of artillery shells. We are not very prepared, but we can manage them in large quantities."

At the critical moment, Luo Yong changed his previous serious and cautious image and even had a sense of humor.

His words made everyone laugh. This was not enough preparation. If they were sufficiently prepared, they would not completely destroy the entire English fleet to the bottom of the sea.

"Forget it, in the spirit of humanitarianism, since we have won this battle, we must show our kindness. You quickly organize the Dragon Scale Army to go to the sea to rescue people. Of course, you must first protect the safety of our soldiers. You cannot In order to save them, what kind of harm will be done to one of our own people?”

Ning Fan felt relaxed and ordered Luo Yong to start going to the sea to rescue people.

Of course, the so-called going into the sea to save people does not mean that soldiers jump into the sea to save people, but that soldiers row boats to save people. Although there are only a dozen or so Dakang warships left, these warships serve as rescuers. Human ships are still completely sufficient.

There were a total of 50,000 people on the hundreds of English warships, but at least 40,000 of these 50,000 people were killed in this naval battle. The remaining 10,000 people were rescued ashore by Dakang's ships. .

When they all gathered on the beach, Ning Fan saw the miserable appearance of these British soldiers who had abandoned their armor.

Before this, the English were the undoubted maritime overlords. Their ships were spread throughout the entire ocean area, and the countries along the coast also became dumping grounds for the English to sell opium.

The English not only have strong ships and powerful guns, but also have accumulated huge wealth with the blessing of long-term maritime hegemony, which also makes the English inherently arrogant. But at this time, they were completely defeated by Dakang's artillery. Ning Fan found that many of these people looked unconvinced.

"Your Majesty, recently Mark, the governor of the Geely Team, asked you to see him."
