The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

In addition to the report of the research institute, there is also a report from Huaxing Shipyard and a report from the arsenal.

Huaxing Shipyard sent good news to Zhu Hongyu!

The world's first iron-ribbed wood-hulled sailing battleship has launched!

After the preliminary outfitting, this iron-ribbed wooden-hull sailing battleship showed excellent performance in the subsequent anti-sinking and seaworthiness experiments.

And more importantly, the hull strength of a battleship with an iron-rib wooden hull is far superior to that of a traditional wooden sail battleship.

In other words, it can withstand the recoil when a more powerful naval gun fires!

Instead of large-caliber artillery, the hull will crack and fall apart once fired!

With the existence of iron-ribbed wood-hulled ships, in the not-too-distant future, a third-tier battleship of the Ming army can match or even surpass the second-tier sailing battleships of the West in terms of firepower.

The report from the arsenal said that they had made some achievements in the research and development of new gunpowder.

After the experiment, it was determined that the power is far superior to the black powder currently used, and the production process has been fully figured out.

The product quality is also stable enough!
Now the only problem is mass production!
The arsenal is currently conducting joint research and development with the research institute, preparing to overcome the problem of mass production.

There is also the gun for the rifle, the mass production of the rifled gun!
While making rifled guns and rifled guns, the original smoothbore guns and smoothbore guns are being rifled.

It can barely meet the needs of the Ming army for military expansion and replacement!
In addition, it is the research and development of breech-loading guns and breech-loading guns, and the achievements of technical research.

Zhu Hongyu closed the report with a satisfied expression.

As far as the present is concerned, there is a gap between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in terms of national power.

If we compare the world to a complete one, then Daming currently accounts for at most one-tenth of it.

For the remaining nine-tenths, although Geng Jingzhong, Wu Sangui and others have some shares, the Qing court at least accounts for more than half.

Although in terms of mobilization and popular support, Daming has a certain advantage!

However, the difference in hard power between the Ming and Qing Dynasties is still very obvious!
In order to make up for the gap in hard power, Zhu Hongyu could only use his brains on firearms.

……

Zhu Hongyu closed the report and began to review other documents.

At this moment, Zhou Tianxu asked to see him outside, and Zhu Hongyu said casually.

"Come in!"

Zhou Tianxu pushed open the door and strode in.

At this time, Zhou Tianxu looked a bit embarrassed. He didn't sleep at all last night, and he was busy with the interrogation today.

Fatigue is inevitable!

Looking at Zhou Tianxu's bloodshot eyes, Zhu Hongyu said.

"After this time's work is over, Tianxu, you can rest for a while!"

Zhou Tianxu nodded.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern!"

Zhu Hongyu immediately asked about the business.

"How is it? Is there a result of the interrogation?"

"How many secret sons of the Qing court are there in Guangdong?"

Zhou Tianxu spoke a few names and gave Zhu Hongyu an answer.

Kang Qiaonian was able to bear the torture, and he was thrown into the confinement room without mentioning his death.

But others may not be able to withstand Jin Yiwei's torture!

Many people failed to finish the first round of [-] kinds of torture, so they were all thrown away.

Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes and said.

"Get ready to arrest people!"

"One can't be let go. Since you dare to be a traitor, you must be prepared to be liquidated!"

Zhu Hongyu's temper is not bad, but he has never tolerated traitors.

"Your Highness, how to deal with the captured prisoners?"

Zhou Tianxu asked, the specific punishment for those traitors still depends on Zhu Hongyu's intention.

Whether to kill or scrape, whether to cut in half and abandon the market, or to divide the body into five horses, Zhu Hongyu has the final say!

After pondering for a while, Zhu Hongyu spoke.

"All the first offenders are sent to Tai Hospital, let them contribute to the progress of medicine!"

"Accomplices are all sentenced to beheading, just outside the city of Guangzhou, in front of all the people in Guangzhou!"

"Families of the prisoners, regardless of gender, age or age, are all sent to hard labor camps, where they will be sent to labor camps for life and will not be pardoned!"

In fact, even for the sake of medical progress, Zhu Hongyu is not willing to allow Taiyuan Hospital to do research on Chinese people.

Is it because the European white skin is not fragrant?Or is it that the little Japanese can't use it anymore?

But, then again, can traitors count as people?

Of course not!
Since Zhu Hongyu doesn't regard traitors as human beings, how can he still feel uncomfortable with using them as experiments?

He has to kill once with a ruthless hand, so that everyone in the world will know that he will end up as a traitor.

If one person becomes a traitor, all the nine ethnic groups will suffer!

This is the most basic principle!
Zhou Tianxu bid farewell and left.

The arrests in and around Guangzhou are still going on.

Jin Yiwei Tiqi and the Restoration Army acted together, quickly arresting all the targets.

……

On the official road leading from Guangzhou to Hunan, several men in black galloped on horseback.

They swung their whips desperately, and the horses under their crotches were suffering from pain, neighing in pain.

These people's faces were full of eagerness, and they turned their heads to look behind them from time to time, as if there was a man-eating demon crawling out of hell.

Following their line of sight, there is a large cloud of smoke and dust at the end of the road!
Dozens of fine horsemen from the Ming army almost covered the entire official road.

The two sides chased and fled, but the distance between them was constantly widening!

The Ming army chasing behind seemed to be powerful, but they didn't really let go of their pursuit.

It just kept hanging, giving the man in black who was running away in front a sense of oppression, that's all!

And the reason why the Ming army wanted to play like this was not that the Ming army chasing these Qing court dark men surrendered to the enemy, they were just doing things according to the orders from above.

Zhu Hongyu can arrange this situation now!

He wants to let go of these dark men of the Qing court, and let them pass the news of Geng Jingzhong's collusion with him, Zhu Hongyu, to the Qing court.

Use this to force Geng Jingzhong to revolt and ensure that Geng Jingzhong can't repeat it again.

Let the Qing court take precautions so that it can draw troops from Hunan, Jiangxi and other places to go to Fujian Jiangnan.

Coincidentally, the Ming army can also take advantage of the Qing army's mobilization of troops in Hunan and Guangxi, and when the north of Guangdong is not facing threats, it can mobilize troops and horses to use troops against Guangxi!

To put it bluntly, it is misfortune brought to the east!
As for whether doing so will deceive Geng Jingzhong?
The answer is yes!

If Geng Jingzhong knew about Zhu Hongyu's flamboyant operation, he would probably scold his mother.

But what about it?

Zhu Hongyu is the supervisor of Daming, and Geng Jingzhong and him can at most be regarded as cooperation. No matter what Zhu Hongyu wants to do, he must put Daming's interests as the first priority.

Now that Daming has finalized the plan to attack Guangxi, it is impossible for the next battle to follow Geng Jingzhong's plan completely.

Of course, if Geng Jingzhong really couldn't withstand the counterattack of the Qing army after he raised his troops, Zhu Hongyu would definitely help and would not sit idly by.

However, before Geng Jingzhong really showed his defeat, Zhu Hongyu's first consideration must be Daming's Guangxi strategy.

Guangxi Cubing, Zhu Hongyu has been hungry for a long time!
