The Most Powerful Man in the World

Gu Ming, the steward, only felt that he was really lucky. He had a relationship with Gu Dayong, the current director of ceremonies, and soared in the palace. He was even sent by Gu Dayong to take charge of part of the affairs of the royal caravan. .

Gu Ming just returned from overseas leading the team not long ago, but this time he has earned a lot of gold and silver, and he is thinking of taking those belongings back to Beijing to take credit for Gu Da.

Now it's a good thing, this group of bastards actually asked them to give up everything and leave the port immediately.

Gu Ming didn't freak out, it was absolutely impossible for him to drop those belongings.

Gu Ming screamed: "Let your generals come to see me!"

It didn't take long for Cheng Yan to stride forward in a military uniform.

Cheng Yan, who had changed into a military uniform, strode forward, full of suffocation, and approached. Gu Ming was stunned by Cheng Yan's majestic appearance when he saw Cheng Yan, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

When Gu Ming reacted, Gu Ming's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and even pointed at Cheng Yan and shouted: "Cheng Yan, you recognize our family, our family tells you, immediately send your men and horses to give us The family transports the ship's things to the capital..."

Cheng Yan just looked at Gu Ming coldly, and it was this indifferent look that made Gu Ming feel hair in his heart, and when he became angry, Gu Ming almost jumped up, pointed at Cheng Yan's head and covered his face and cursed: "You didn't hear that. Is it our family's words, or is it that you Cheng Yan is bold and bold, so aren't you afraid that Director Gu will punish you?"

Many people looked at Gu Ming with a strange look.

Not long ago, the news that Gu Da used to commit suicide in the prison spread like wings.

Gu Dayong died in the imperial prison, and I don't know how many people who had been persecuted by Gu Dayong cheered him.But there are still many people who don't know this.

After all, it didn't take long for the news of Gu Dayong's death to spread. The most important thing is that many people in Tianjin Wei Port have returned from overseas, and there is no chance or time to learn about Gu Dayong's death.

Obviously, Gu Ming is one of them.

Because Gu Ming didn't know that his biggest reliance on Da Yong had already committed suicide in the imperial prison, so in Gu Ming's view, as long as Gu Dayong had such a backer, what would a mere guerrilla general in front of him count for? Woolen cloth.At that time, as long as he blows a little air in front of Gu Dayong, Cheng Yan can be dismissed from office.

Cheng Yan glanced at the people around him, and snorted coldly: "All the soldiers obey the order and immediately evacuate everyone in the port. If there are any resisters, kill them without mercy!"

Gu Ming opened his eyes wide, looked at Cheng Yan in disbelief, pointed at Cheng Yan and said sharply: "You...you are so brave, stop our family..."

Seeing a group of soldiers approaching them, Gu Ming couldn't help but shouted: "Beat our family, kill our own chief executive and be responsible for us! Our family has to see, in the end it is you Cheng Yan who is so powerful, Still, Director Gu is amazing!"

Saying that, Gu Ming pointed at his neck, and laughed at Cheng Yan insolently: "If you have the ability, you can cut it here, haha, do you have the courage, coward..."

Chapter 560 Don't Call It Unpredictable [1 More]

I have to say that Gu Ming was very arrogant. These soldiers looked at Cheng Yan one by one. Cheng Yan sighed, and then he heard a thud. The long sword was unsheathed, followed by a flash of blood, and he saw a A bloody arrow shot out, and a headless corpse swayed and fell to the ground with a thud. On the ground, there was a head with an unbelievable expression, not Gu Ming or anyone else.

The servants who followed Gu Ming were suddenly stunned. They were members of the royal caravan. They were always domineering. When they wanted to come, there was a guy like Gu Dayong behind Gu Ming. The chief executive is here, not to mention a guerrilla general in the area, even if the minister of war comes, he must treat Gu Ming with courtesy.

In the end, what they saw was that Cheng Yan cut off Gu Ming's head without hesitation, and everyone was stunned.

Many of these people do not know the news of the downfall of Gu Dayong, so in their subconscious, there is Gu Dayong, Gu Ming carries the banner of Gu Dayong, and few people really dare to fight against it. rude.

Cheng Yan put the long sword in its sheath, looked at Gu Ming's head on the ground, stretched out his hand to take the spear from the hand of a soldier beside him, and lifted Gu Ming's head high with a sharp pick.

"Not to mention that Gu Dayong has already been executed, even if Gu Dayong is still alive, this general would kill you like a chicken!"

While speaking, Cheng Yan lifted Gu Ming's head high and shouted: "Everyone will leave the port immediately. Anyone who violates the military order will be killed without mercy!"

It's human nature to bully the soft and fear the hard. What's more, they have seen Cheng Yan's ruthlessness, and those who know that Gu Dayong's downfall are secretly shocked.

After all, even if Gu Dayong collapses, Gu Ming is still a leader of the Royal Caravan. Even without Gu Dayong's support, Gu Ming represents the royal face to a certain extent.

As a result, Cheng Yan Leng beheaded Gu Ming with a knife, and everyone was stunned.

A stern look flashed in his eyes, only to hear Cheng Yan shout: "Everyone, leave Hong Kong quickly!"

This time, with Cheng Yan's shock, no matter what these people think in their hearts, whether they are willing or unwilling, unless they want to try Cheng Yan's knife is fast enough, or their brains are hard enough , everyone cooperated honestly and withdrew from the port as quickly as possible.

Cheng Yan was dressed neatly at the moment, and appeared in front of a fort in a military uniform.

As the gateway to Gyeonggi, Daming has had no enemies from the sea for over a hundred years, and defenses are naturally slack. Even those forts are already old, and whether some artillery can be fired is a problem.

Of course, this was in the past. When Chu Yi took power, he vigorously developed maritime power. It is conceivable that Tianjin Port, as the gateway to Gyeonggi, was naturally attracted by Chu Yi.

As the saying goes, the top is good and the bottom is effective. Chu Yi attaches great importance to the development of the navy, so it is natural that the maritime fortifications of Tianjin Port have been renewed with the efforts of these officials.

Although there are not many new artillery pieces built by the Ministry of Industry, there are as many as 32 pieces installed in this port.

Don't underestimate the 32 cannons. After Chu Yi's guidance, the range and speed of the improved new cannons have increased by several percent compared to the previous ones.

In the port, these artillery pieces were placed in four places. The place where Cheng Yan was located was the one closest to the sea. A few hundred meters away was the blue ocean.

At this time, the continuous ship at sea could already be seen with the naked eye, Cheng Yan took a deep breath and said, "Send an order, send a semaphore to the other party, and ask the other party to stop the ship immediately, if they go further, it will be regarded as a provocation. ."

Soon he saw the order of the messenger Cheng Yan conveyed to the other party through the semaphore.

On the surface of the sea outside Tianjin Port, hundreds of ships lined up in a row, looking extremely powerful.

In Cheng Yan's view, the styles of these ships are almost the same, and they are naturally regarded as one family.

But if you really understand the various flags hoisted on these ships, you will immediately understand that this fleet is simply a coalition team.

In this era, the great voyage of the West has begun, and many countries have joined the ranks of maritime powers, frantically expanding their own power and influence at sea.

The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and even England, these countries are all developing maritime power across the country, and this fleet, needless to say, is a fleet united by the Netherlands and Portugal.

As a maritime power, the Netherlands has been surpassed by rising stars, but as a former sea coachman, the Dutch heritage is not bad at all.

Especially in this eastern land, the strength of the Netherlands, even if Portugal and Spain are united, may not be able to compete with it.

The previous fleet of Dalikis disappeared after it entered the Daming sea area, and there was no news. This naturally made the governor of the Portuguese Asian fleet very worried.

It didn't take long for the sailors of the Portuguese fleet that Chu Yi deliberately let go, finally spread the news of Daliqisi's defeat.

As an ancient nobleman in Portugal, Earl Harry is not only a noble, but also has a pivotal influence in the Portuguese military.

Because the influence of the navy is very great, Earl Harry is enough to rank in the forefront of the Portuguese military.

If it wasn't for Earl Harry's obsession with expanding around, he would never have taken such a big risk to come to the East as Earl Harry.

Earl Harry was surprised when he learned that the army led by Dalikis would be completely defeated and fall into the hands of the Ming Empire.

Earl Harry was reluctant to believe the words of the few sailors who had escaped, but whether they believed it or not, Dalikis and the others must be saved.

Of course, Earl Harry was very cautious. Even if he could mobilize dozens of warships, Earl Harry chose to unite with the Netherlands for the first time.

The Netherlands came to the other side earlier than the Portuguese side, and Portugal had a better understanding of the Ming Empire.

In the impression of the Dutch, the monarch of the Daming Empire implemented the policy of banning the sea, which was short-sighted and extremely stupid, but Daming was incomparably huge, like a behemoth, which was very intimidating.

The Dutch occupied the Strait of Malacca, and their forces had not yet entered the coast of Daming, so there was no conflict with Daming.

But it is certain that in the near future, the Dutch will definitely not stop, and they will definitely face Daming.

So when Earl Harry found the Dutch, as the governor of the Eastern Fleet, George and Earl Harry almost hit it off. The two sides joined forces and almost mobilized almost [-] to [-]% of the maritime power of the two countries in the Eastern Sea. There are many, but they have raised nearly [-] ships, of which almost half are battleships alone, and there are nearly [-] ships.

About fifty warships, once a salvo fire, that is, hundreds of artillery salvos, its power is absolutely amazing and terrifying.

With the purpose of testing Daming's reaction, the Dutch and Portuguese coalition forces appeared off the coast of Tianjin Port. George, who was standing on the deck with a glass of red wine in his hand, nodded slightly to Earl Harry and said, "Haha. Earl Rui, did you see it? The other party asked us to stop the ship immediately, and you said what we should do."

Earl Harry smiled slightly and drank the red wine, and saw Earl Harry licking the corner of his mouth, and his eyes showed a bit of grimness: "If you want us to stop, we must see if they have the strength. "

They have been developing colonies at sea all the year round. Earl Harry and Governor George are not ordinary people. All etiquette and morality are bullshit to them. Only power is the truth. There is no strong enough strength as a guarantee. The so-called etiquette is all about it. Empty talk.

Speaking of which, Earl Han Rui said to a messenger next to him: "Tell the person on the other side that we are going to dock in the port, hoping to open the door of convenience."

When Cheng Yan received the news from the messenger, Cheng Yan couldn't help frowning and said, "It is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend, how can we let it enter the port."

Saying that, Cheng Yan slammed his fist on the shiny body of the artillery gun beside him, and shouted: "Give me a warning, and at the same time continue to use the semaphore to tell the other party, if you dare to move forward, you will immediately bombard it, if there is any loss , don't say it's unpredictable!"

Governor George and Earl Harry looked at each other, only to hear Governor George say to the messenger: "Order the first team to speed up this Governor immediately, and make sure to rush into the port in the shortest time."

Earl Harry narrowed his eyes. Since he wanted to test Daming's strength and attitude, he had to take risks. As for a good discussion, if they had such an idea, they would not have gathered so many ships at once. The ship, the swarms of people are coming.

In the final analysis, whether it is Governor George or Earl Harry, the two do not regard Daming Navy as any opponent in their hearts. In their eyes, the real opponent is only the other.

However, the two of them were staring at the group of dozens of large and small ships with telescopic mirrors in their hands, and they saw that these ships immediately broke away from the fleet and headed straight for the port like arrows from the string.

In the port, Cheng Yan, who was standing in front of a fort, naturally saw the dozen or so large and small ships that suddenly rushed out, and waved his hand suddenly and shouted: "Light the beacon, fire the artillery salvo, and give this general to this general. The ships were all bombed and sunk."

Above the fort, all preparations have been made for a long time, and the artillery that can fire cannonballs at any time suddenly roars.

The rumbling sound exploded like thunder, and then, on the surface of the sea, the water column splashed more than ten feet high.

On the four forts, there are more than 30 cannons in front and back, but there is only a difference of a few breaths. Under the salvo of dozens of shells, a blind cat can touch a dead mouse, not to mention that these gunners can take one The cannonballs are trained with a lot of money, and I dare not say that they are [-]% hit, at least there is a half to [-]% chance of hitting.

This probability seems very small. After all, on the vast ocean, shelling each other, the hit rate itself is not high, not to mention [-]%, even if it is half, it is quite amazing.

With a click, I saw a boat with bad luck and was hit by a cannonball on the spot. With the roar, the cannonball exploded, and the boat was blown to pieces.

Chapter 560 Seven Are You Questioning Me [2 More]

Through the telescope, you can clearly see that the small boat exploded from the center, and then it was torn apart. As for the dozen or so sailors on the boat, they were injured and died almost on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Earl Harry and Governor George couldn't help frowning, but Earl Harry said with a bit of ease: "It's just that these oriental people are lucky, it's our navy. If shelling, perhaps the results will be even greater."

Between the words, Governor George said loudly: "Look, our people are fighting back!"

Just as Governor George spoke, on the sea surface, a dozen ships rushing towards the port suddenly burst into flames, and a dozen cannons fired in unison.

The shells shot out one by one, heading straight for the forts above the port.

Boom, boom, solid bullets smashed on the fort made of boulders. Although pieces of gravel were splashed, the fort was nearly two meters thick. Amazing, but hitting the fort is unable to shake the fort.

You come and go on both sides, the artillery bombards, as the defensive side, the fort on the Ming side suffers and cannot move, but the victory is that the fort is extremely thick. Just gravel.

Looking at the sturdiness of the fort, I am afraid that it is only possible to destroy the fort if it is hit a dozen times in a row.

Although the combined forces of the Netherlands and Portugal had no protection on the sea surface, they were better at being able to move sensitively to avoid repeated shelling.

His face was cut by a piece of gravel and stained with blood. Cheng Yan looked quite embarrassed. At this moment, Cheng Yan was staring solemnly at the ships that were getting closer and closer to the port.

Originally, a dozen or so ships had been shot against each other after such a tea time. The opponent had already been wounded and sank nearly four or five ships. At this moment, there were almost seven or eight ships remaining.

But at this moment these ships have already impacted the vicinity of the port and can log in at any time.

On the flagship, Governor George and Earl Harry secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked at each other, Earl Harry laughed and said, "Da Mingkong has cannons, but they haven't used the power of these cannons."

The power of the Daming artillery is obviously stronger than that of the artillery on their ships. Governor George and Earl Harry are not scumbags and naturally know what these artillery means to them.

If their ships can be equipped with such powerful artillery, then their naval combat power can at least soar by several fold.

"Get these guns anyway."

Just as Dalikis had the idea after discovering the power of the Great Ming artillery that fought against them, Governor George and Earl Harry all set their sights on these artillery.

"All ships, attack together, be sure to occupy the port in the shortest possible time!"

Thinking that they had already tested the combat power of the Daming Navy, coupled with the temptation of the power of the new artillery displayed by Daming, Governor George and Earl Harry finally made up their minds and made up their minds to overwhelm the entire army.

Immediately, hundreds of ships rushed to the port in unison, and dozens of warships fired their guns in unison.

In the port for a while, hundreds of soldiers under Cheng Yan were suppressed by the coalition artillery and could barely raise their heads.
