I am one year older than Chongzhen

A Fuchuan-type warship equipped with ten or twenty long-barreled cannons may not be as effective against the superior battleships of Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal.

However, the navy against Japan and North Korea is completely capable of fighting with pressure.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong, the coastal defense guerrilla of the Ming Dynasty, had not yet been able to take both black and white.

However, he successively eliminated pirates Li Kuiqi, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Zhong Bin, Chu Cailao and others, and his power expanded unprecedentedly.

Next should be the naval battle of Liaoluo Bay that took place in the autumn of the sixth year of Chongzhen. This battle is relatively famous.

The ending is that the pirate gang of Zheng Zhilong, disguised as the navy of the Ming Dynasty, defeated the Dutch and disabled the great pirate Liu Xiang.

Next, Zheng Zhilong continued to pursue Liu Xiang, and finally surrounded Liu Xiang in the eighth year of Chongzhen, forcing Liu Xiang to burn himself to death.

From then on, the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group became the dominant pirate group in the China Sea, with protection fees amounting to hundreds of millions of taels of snowflake silver every year.

It is said that at its peak, the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group was able to collect 30 million taels.

I don’t know if it’s true or not, and I don’t know what Zheng Zhilong did with so much money.

It stands to reason that with such an annual income, it is enough to support an army of one million people and has the power to dominate the world. Why did they surrender to the slave establishment?

Huang Yi currently cannot develop maritime power wholeheartedly and will not take the initiative to have friction with Zheng Zhilong, but he must have a navy that can fight and win.

At the very least, this navy can escort trade and transport rice back home from Japan, North Korea, Annan, and Luzon while making huge profits through sea trade.

Zheng Zhilong was the coastal defense guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Daquan was the water camp garrison of the Ming Dynasty. In theory, they were friendly forces.

As long as the Xinghe Army does not touch Zheng Zhilong's fundamental interests, they should be able to live in peace and make their own fortunes!

Respect is based on equality!

If you want the Zheng family pirate group to respect the Xinghe Army, you have to flex your muscles.

With seven warships with more powerful firepower than the Dutch small and medium-sized galenic ships, they should be enough to protect themselves in China's offshore waters.

This is not self-talk. The several Dutch Galen ship battleships participating in the Battle of Liaoluo Bay were not big ones, and were at most medium-sized warships.

A Galenic ship was equipped with twenty or thirty long-barreled cannons.

In this era, there were already large battleships equipped with hundreds or dozens of cannons. Cannons firing forty-eight-pound shells were already common, and the largest cannon could fire sixty-pound shells.

This large battleship is too bulky to sail to the China Sea.

Don't be afraid even if you come. Zheng Zhilong's tactics of fire ship encirclement are not afraid of the big guys who can run slowly. He is afraid of the nimble small and medium-sized warships turning around and running away to escape the encirclement.

If Huang Yi was commanding the naval battle, he would be more ruthless.

Relying on fire ships to approach and set fire to enemy ships is too inefficient. How many desperate soldiers must have died in vain?

Huang Yi must have designed and manufactured explosive boats. This small boat looks like a dragon boat. Its front end is designed as a large cast-iron bomb, which uses a trigger test to detonate.

This is equivalent to a torpedo powered by human oars or sails.

No matter how powerful your sailing battleship is, as long as it is hit by a man-made or wind-driven explosive ship, the fate awaiting you is to sink.

This is not bragging. Battleships these days are basically unable to hit each other below the waterline. If a battleship is hit by dozens of shells, as long as it does not burn and cause gunpowder explosion, it will not sink.

The bomb that exploded the ship was below the waterline, and the European Galen ship that was bombed had no watertight compartments, so of course it sank as soon as it exploded.

The warships of the Xinghe Army were equipped with more than a dozen twelve-pound cannons, and more than a dozen "sub-cannons" that could quickly fire shotguns.

It is most effective against Japanese pirates who are good at jumping gangs to join forces, and its firepower is not weak against Zheng Zhilong's main battleship.

It shouldn't be a big problem if it's used to escort and deter pirates.

As for how to develop in the future, Huang Yi's territory will expand to the seaside. At that time, Huang Yi would definitely organize the best shipbuilding craftsmen to build the top ship type in the sailing era - the scissor sailboat.

Huang Yi's mobile phone not only saves a model of a clipper sailboat, but also several structural drawings. It would be a pity not to use them.

By the way, a huge forged steel keel must be forged using a forging process, so that the size of the ship is not limited by the availability of giant wood.

It feels so good to be able to cheat!

In order to be able to develop to the ocean earlier, we have to work hard when we go back.

First, kill Lin Dan Khan at both ends of the line, and win over most of the Mongolians to serve in the base area.

Because in history, it was the Jian Nu who defeated Lin Dan Khan and gathered most of the Monan Mongolian tribes to form the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Outer Mongolia.

Huang Yi was able to strike first and win 10,000 more Mongolian cavalry, which was equivalent to 10,000 fewer troops and 10,000 more enemy troops.

Lu Zhi, the former eunuch of the Denglai Supervisory Army, either died in the rebellion or escaped. In any case, it is impossible for this person to appear.

Wang Kun was not the eunuch who oversaw the army in Denglai. He was the commander-in-chief of the entire counter-rebellion army. After pacifying Denglai, of course he had to return to the capital to resume his duties.

No one welcomes eunuchs to take office, and Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, is no exception.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had long distrusted civil servants and military generals, and would definitely send eunuchs and supervisors to the army.

Of course the eunuch sent had to consult the most popular eunuch of the day - Wang Kun.

Then the new eunuchs of the Denglai Supervisory Army will clearly realize that the future of being close to the Xinghe Army is limitless.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't know it, he should find an excuse to boil manure for several months to produce "fertile field powder".

Don't be afraid that you won't find a reason. There is no eunuch who doesn't take bribes and bend the law.

With such strength, Huang Yi does not need to compromise with any civil servants, eunuchs, or military generals, and he does not hesitate to resort to coercion, coercion, intimidation, and other means.

When necessary, it is not a bad idea to frame someone.

In a word, there is no successful person who is not a conspirator.

In order to conquer the country and seek prosperity for the country, you can do anything you can!

Huang Daquan was the first teenager Huang Yi personally educated, and his loyalty was unquestionable. In his eyes, Huang Yi was like a father and a brother, a mentor, and a noble person who brought him a good life.

The year before last, he participated in the detention of Wang Kun, the eunuch of the Xuan Dynasty's army, and the arrest of 21 Jinyi guards such as Diao Dianbao and Diao Debao.

Huang Daquan, like Huang Dazhi, Huang Dayong, Bi Daxi and other young officers, did not pay attention to imperial power, but focused on the interests of the base area.

As long as Huang Yi gives the order, they will not hesitate to go to war with the Ming army.

Huang Yi told Huang Daquan that he would not take the initiative to cause trouble while stationed in Dengzhou, but he would never be timid and fearful of trouble!

By the end of February next year at the latest, the seven warships must complete the equipment of twelve-pound guns and three-pound "mother-and-child guns" produced in the base.

Try to make a trip to Japan in May to sell the captured raw silk and satin.

If any civil servants, military generals or eunuchs dare to make trouble, they will be directly arrested and sent to Xinghe City for labor reform!
