The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 130 Artillery battle!

Liang Asheng nodded vigorously and agreed.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and ordered to go down and send someone to accompany Liang Asheng back home to get his manuscripts and tools.

And the models he made himself, and the loom that needs to be improved!
By the way, Liang Asheng's parents also need to be settled.

Liang Asheng's value is great, and it is the key to whether the military government can enter the industrial age. In order to ensure his safety and technology will not be leaked.

It is very necessary to settle Liang Asheng's parents!
Zhu Hongyu really felt that he had found a treasure!
After Liang Asheng and Zhang Yunxuan both retreated, Zhu Hongyu flipped through the papers and found a few more talents.

Different placements were made for them!

There are several deaf-mute candidates among the reference candidates, and they generally have good grades in science subjects such as arithmetic, astronomy and geometry.

After much deliberation, Zhu Hongyu planned to arrange all these deaf-mute people to do research in Liang Asheng's research institute!

After all, the research institute needs to be able to calm down and do research. Except for an engineering nerd like Liang Asheng, most people are far behind deaf-mute people in terms of concentration and meticulousness.

Letting them do research can be regarded as giving full play to their talents!
……

Dayuan Island, outside the city of Zeelandia!
More than [-] Zheng Jun surrounded the city of Zeelandia, and Zheng Jun set up several artillery positions around the city of Zeelandia.

While the cannons roared, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and shells hit the walls of Zeelandia City one after another!
However, Zeelandia City is a bastion, and the city wall has a certain curvature, which can relieve force.

The shells hit the city wall with little effect.

Amidst the rumble of cannons, not only Zheng Jun was bombarding the city of Zeelandia, but the Dutch were also fighting back.

Their artillery in the fort roared!

One by one shells were fired at Zheng Jun's artillery formation very accurately.

The shell landed conveniently in front of the artillery formation, and a large cloud of dust was thrown on the ground, rolling towards Zheng Jun's artillery formation.

The shell hit a cannon, and in an instant, the cannon's barrel was deformed.

One of Zheng Jun's gunners was rubbed by the shells, and half of his body was smashed by the shells in the blink of an eye.

Blood and viscera sprayed everywhere!

The smell of blood is soaring!

In the fierce artillery battle between the two sides, Zheng Jun was obviously at a disadvantage, and it could even be said that he was fighting unilaterally.

Zheng Jun's shells hit the bastion of Zeelandia City, and the bastion remained motionless.

The shells of the Dutch fell into the artillery formation of Zheng Jun, but there were casualties everywhere.

Of course, this does not mean that there is a gap in the quality of gunners and artillery on both sides!

The Dutch gunners are experienced, but Zheng Jun's gunners are equally experienced after so many years of fighting against the Qing Dynasty.

In this era, gunnery is simply a matter of experience.

As for some people who say that gunners in the East don't understand geometry, gunners rely entirely on experience.

However, Western technology is advanced and advanced, and gunners rely on geometry to calculate shooting elements, so their artillery skills are very good.

In fact, the whole thing is bullshit, this is half a million walking people licking their foreign fathers.

We must know that in ancient times, China's literacy rate has always been the first in the world.

Even if it was affected by the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, China's literacy rate still reached [-]%, which is undeniably the highest in the world.

But even so, geometry is only the exclusive game of a few smart people. Generally, only the elite among scholar-bureaucrats study it, and ordinary scholars don't understand it at all.

This is still in China, which has the highest literacy rate in the world!
What about Europe in this era?

Is their literacy rate [-] percent?
To put it bluntly, the literacy rate in Europe is not necessarily as high as mine.

How many people in Europe have studied geometry?How many people who have studied geometry can learn to understand?
To put it bluntly, in this era of Europe, geometry is also a toy of the nobility.

Will nobles personally go to the battlefield and use cannons as artillery?

Besides, even if gunners in Western countries really know how to count, will they have time to count on the battlefield?

In the end it all comes down to experience!
The fundamental reason why Zheng Jun will be at a disadvantage is that the Dutch have forts as their backing, while Zheng Jun has open-air artillery positions.

Moreover, in the artillery battle, the Dutch fort still had a favorable location, and it was condescending against Zheng Jun's artillery formation!

It is no surprise that Zheng Jun was suppressed in the artillery battle!

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help frowning as he watched the artillery battle, which was obviously at a disadvantage.

"The Dutchman's artillery skills are really good!"

Zheng Jing, the elder son next to Zheng Chenggong, said with a look of amazement.

However, as soon as he said this, Zheng Chenggong's face darkened instantly.

"Father, the city of Zeelandia has been repaired by the Dutch for more than 30 years. It is so strong that it cannot be attacked by force!"

"How about a peace talk?"

Zheng Chenggong looked over, feeling very displeased with his weak and irresponsible son.

But he had no choice, although he had many heirs, but he only had this one son!
"Why do you want peace talks?"

"Now we have the advantage, even if it is a siege, we can siege the red hair to death!"

"Peace talks should be brought up by Hongmao!"

Zheng Jing shrank his neck from the training, and no longer dared to speak.

Zheng Chenggong also ignored his son and continued to focus on the battlefield.

Seeing that the artillery battle was getting worse and worse, he finally spoke.

"Order to withdraw troops, no need to make fearless sacrifices!"

"When Chen Yonghua comes back, let's talk about the siege!"

Calculating the time, Chen Yonghua has been to Luzon for almost a month, and Zheng Chenggong estimated that he should come back.

As Zheng Chenggong expected, Chen Yonghua returned to Zheng Jun's camp three days later.

And told Zheng Chenggong the method of attacking the city in the hole.

"Master Guoxing, the students have borrowed a team of experts from the Guangfu Army to attack the city!"

"With their help, we will definitely be able to conquer the city of Zeelandia!"

Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly and ordered.

"Very well, send someone to treat the recovery army with good wine and meat, and let them rest for a day first."

"Call our people, make preparations in advance!"

"When the Restoration Army is doing things, send a few clever people to accompany them to figure out the way to attack the city in the cave!"

Chen Yonghua nodded, and then told Zheng Chenggong the request made by Zhu Hongyu.

Hearing that Zhu Hongyu wanted two merchant ships, he agreed without thinking, and then spoke.

"Send two lucky boats of relatively new condition to Luzon!"

Chen Yonghua nodded in agreement, and then spoke again.

"The Restoration Army also wants to invite Lord Guoxing to attack the Spanish red-haired ghosts, capture the entire Luzon, and then use Luzon as the core to integrate the power of the entire Nanyang Chinese in order to counterattack the Central Plains!"

"The students didn't know how to respond, so they shirked it, saying that Master Guo Xing made up his own mind!"

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"Hey, since the news of Mopanshan's defeat came, we haven't heard from His Majesty again, have we?"

"I don't know where I am today!"

The party struggle in Nanming was fierce, but it was also a few years ago.

In recent years, with the fall of the Longwu and Shaowu regimes, Zhu Yihai, the supervisor of Lu, went to supervise the state himself. All the anti-Qing forces, including Zheng Chenggong and the Kuidong Shisan Family, have recognized the orthodox status of the Yongli court.
