The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Maybe something will happen!

No one really thinks that all the history written by foreigners must be true, they will not make fakes, and they will not use Spring and Autumn brushwork, right?
No way, no way, there can't really be such fools, right?

As for history, you must learn to see the essence through the phenomenon!
As far as the Mingying Guangzhou naval battle is concerned, from a historical perspective, both sides insist on their own opinions, but without exception, they are putting gold on their faces.

They all said they won!
Even the little transparent Portuguese stood up and said that it was under his own mediation that Daming made peace with Britain.

However, what the two sides say is actually unimportant.

Depends on the final result!

Anything can be fake!

However, the war reparation of 800 taels of silver that Britain gave to Daming cannot be faked.

The British took the initiative to go to the Portuguese and asked the Portuguese to mediate, instead of Daming taking the initiative to seek the Portuguese to mediate, this cannot be faked.

If it wasn't for losing, how could the British lose money and get out in despair?
So, it's pretty obvious, isn't it?
This conflict, which is not considered a war among the British population, made them pay 800 taels of silver for it.

In addition, Zhu Hongyu once used the banner of the United Kingdom to give the Portuguese in Macau a small surprise and win Macau.

Zhu Hongyu really couldn't figure out why the British sent envoys to Daming!
When the two sides meet at that time, it must be very awkward, right?

Zhu Hongyu thought so.

However, thinking about it, it did not prevent him from ordering to allow the British and Ottomans to enter Beijing.

As for the purpose of their coming to Daming, it will not be too late to wait until they arrive in the mainland of Daming first.

……

After the grand court meeting ended, Zhu Hongyu rode back to Xingyuan with his guards.

He summoned Shi Yongxin alone in the room.

"Give me a seat and serve tea!"

Zhu Hongyu sat down behind the table and ordered tea to be served.

The eunuchs and maids brought tea and snacks, and Zhu Hongyu signaled Shi Yongxin to drink tea.

Shi Yongxin took the teacup and drank it down.

Then he spoke.

"The Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion has made a report on the development of the Ming Dynasty's army, and I invite His Majesty to review it."

While speaking, Shi Yong sent a thick report to Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu took the report and flipped through it casually.

Although since the beginning of this year, the Ming army has not broken out in large-scale foreign wars.

What the Ming armies do most now is actually to suppress bandits and train soldiers.

However, the pace of the Ming army's military expansion has never stopped.

After taking over the entire southeast, the speed of Ming's military expansion was the same as turning on the accelerator.

Whether it is infantry, cavalry, artillery, or navy, the size of the army has been expanding.

According to the description of this report in Zhu Hongyu's hand.

It has only been more than half a year since the Ming Dynasty regained Nanjing, and the size of the recovery army has directly doubled. It has officially broken through the 10 mark and reached an astonishing scale of 15.

Among them, the main force of infantry is 10!

Relying on the capture of the horses of the Qing army in the decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River, the size of the cavalry has also expanded to [-].

The number of soldiers in the Navy has also reached the level of 3!
These are just the Liberation Army!

In addition to the 15 men of the Restoration Army, there were about 5 Guiyi Army under the Ming Dynasty.

The [-] returned to the rebel army was the number left by Daming after the layoffs.

After Daming made up their military salaries and perfected their military equipment, I dare not say that if there are more, the combat effectiveness will not be worse than the same number of Eight Banners soldiers or Guan Ning Army.

Maybe even stronger!

To put it bluntly, the sharp soldiers of almost 20 people are the reason why Zhu Hongyu dared to fight against Man Qing and Wu Sangui at the same time.

You can think about it differently.

If the Manchu Qing had 20 Manchu Eight Banners soldiers, do you think he would swell?

如果
Wu Sangui has 20 Guanning Army in his hand, do you think he is arrogant?
Now Man Qing and Wu Sangui also have a lot of soldiers and horses on hand, but most of their soldiers and horses are miscellaneous.

The real sharp warriors, such as the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army, even if they don't talk about quality, the gap is not so big in terms of quantity.

The number of sharp soldiers in Man Qing and Wu Sangui's hands, even if they are all added up, is less than half of the number of soldiers in Zhu Hongyu's hand.

Not to mention the real gap in combat effectiveness between cold weapon troops and firearm troops!
After looking through the situation of the expansion of the respective troops, Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and the expression on his face showed that he was quite satisfied.

Then, he continued to read other contents in the report.

Such as the update of the Ming army's equipment!

From the current point of view, the 20 Ming army has almost completely completed the innovation of firearms.

Even the Guiyi Army has a firearms equipment rate of over 50.00%!

Although most of them are smoothbore guns!

But what you need to know is that in the current world, smoothbore guns are the mainstream weapons.

Even the flintlock has not yet become popular!

Even if those returnees used flintlock muskets, they formed a generational gap against the armies of other countries.

Although there were still cold weapons such as armors and swords in the troops and horses of the various ministries of the Ming army, the focus of combat had obviously changed from cold weapons to firearms.

It can be said that almost all of the current 20 Ming troops are the best of the best!

Armaments are in pretty good condition!
In addition to the equipment of firearms, the installation of naval warships is also explained in detail in the report.

Daming's navy, if Zheng Jun's navy is included, the scale has truly reached a thousand warships.

Among the thousand warships, nearly one-third are sailing battleships!
Among them, there are almost hundreds of Tier [-] sailing battleships that can play the main force.

Even, Daming has installed a second-class sailing battleship for decoration.

The rest of the warships are basically traditional Chinese Fuchuan and plywood boats.

Such a Great Ming Navy, even if it is placed in Europe, where the navigation technology has a great advantage over the current Ming Dynasty, it must not be considered weak.

Although there is a common saying about a century-old navy, it is a hundred years since the tree was planted, so it cannot be taken as true.

If you really need enough funds to invest, it is not that difficult to build a navy.

Shipbuilding craftsmen, experienced sailors and sailors, generals who can command naval battles...

Isn't that the most important factor in building a navy?

Which of these cannot be solved by spending money?

Even the lumber for shipbuilding, that's not a problem.

It is true that dry-dried boats take a long time to build.

But the Chinese have the habit of saving coffin boards in advance.

The wood that can be used as a coffin board is all good wood, and it is not a big problem to use it to build a boat!

And on these ships of Ming Dynasty, the firepower has basically been updated and iterated.
