The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 856
Snapped!clap clap!

On the battlefield, crisp gunshots sounded continuously.

While firing guns, gunpowder smoke filled the entire battlefield like clouds.

Projectiles flew back and forth between the formations on both sides, and people fell to the ground constantly as they passed.

The projectile can easily penetrate the human body, leaving blood holes one by one.

With the development of firearms, the role of armor is really constantly weakening.

The armor of the Ming army has been simplified to the point where there are only helmets and breastplates. As for the full set of heavy armor, it has become a ritual weapon that only appears on certain occasions.

As time goes by, the number of casualties on both sides is constantly increasing!
Gradually, the distance between the arrays of the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the hit rate of musket shooting is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A gust of wind blows away the smoke from the battlefield.

After the smoke cleared, Wu Yingqi suddenly discovered that the formation of the Mughals on the opposite side was already in chaos.

After several rounds of gunfire, the soldiers of the third brother of the Mughal Empire could not bear the casualties and seemed to collapse.

Especially the soldiers in their front row were already in a mess.

Some of the musketeers in the front row were loading, some kept retreating, and some even turned around and prepared to escape.

The array quickly became a mess,
Seeing this scene, Wu Yingqi knew that the opportunity had come.

"Send the order, aim the artillery at the enemy's vacillating array, and fire three rounds in rapid succession to defeat them."

"The cavalry is ready to attack. After the shelling is over, the cavalry immediately pounces on them and expands the results of the battle."

Accompanied by the roar of artillery, countless shells fell on the infantry array of the Mughal Empire.

The array in their front row is getting more and more shaken!

At this moment, with a whistling sound, groups of Guanning cavalry rushed out from the flanks of their own formation, and went straight to the wavering formation of the Mughals.

The general of the Mughal Empire on the opposite side ordered his own cavalry to meet him.

The cavalry of the two sides confronted each other on the battlefield, and teams of fine cavalry surged like waves, but the cavalry of the Mughal Empire was obviously at a disadvantage.

Soon the cavalry of the Guanning Army smashed through the blocking Mughal Empire cavalry, and then continued to attack their front row.

"kill!"

Accompanied by the deafening shouts of killing, the front row array of the Mughal Empire was smashed through.

A large number of soldiers collapsed the moment they saw the cavalry rushing.

They dropped their muskets, turned and ran.

Then, the cavalry of the Guan Ning Army chased these routs and swept through several formations one after another, achieving great results.

It wasn't until the cavalry of the Mughal Empire rushed forward to fight again that the cavalry of the Guanning Army retreated slowly.

Seeing this scene, Wu Yingqi was not disappointed, but ordered his side to continue advancing.

The artillery rushed after the infantry, and the infantry rushed after the artillery.

Cavalry roam the battlefield, ready to increase their own strength in a certain aspect at any time, in order to expand the results of the battle.

Wu Yingqi's tactics are very simple, and it can even be said that there are basically no bells and whistles.

However, the problem is that the opposite side just can't bear it.

"kill!"

"Fall!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"..."

The fierce battle lasted for a whole day, until sunset, and countless corpses lay on the battlefield.

The smell of blood and gunpowder filled the air.

The Mughal Empire couldn't bear the casualties and collapsed, and the mountains and plains were full of their defeated soldiers.

And the cavalry of the Guanning Army who are chasing and expanding their victories.

Wu Yingqi looked at the scene on the battlefield, let out a deep breath, and said.

"With this victory, our Tianzhu Kingdom will be able to gain a firm foothold!"

As soon as Wu Yingqi said this, all the generals around him echoed.

"That's what the king said!"

"The Mughal Empire is nothing more than a chicken and a dog in front of my Tianzhu."

"After this battle, our army should advance to the city of Derry."

"..."

Wu Yingqi nodded and spoke.

"That's a good statement!"

"Letting Lahore be the capital of my Tianzhu is indeed a bit unqualified, and Delhi is the most suitable."

Thinking of this, Wu Yingqi ordered his troops to march towards Derry City after cleaning the battlefield.

Wu Yingqi personally led the army to besiege the city of Derry, and then faced the defenders and reinforcements in the city of Derry under the city of Derry, implementing the tactics of besieging points and attacking reinforcements.

The defenders in Derry watched helplessly as the reinforcements who came to rescue were defeated one by one. Most of their morale collapsed, and they didn't know what to do.

Moreover, as time passed, Wu Yingqi also ordered a general attack on Derry City.

The sound of shelling resounded through the wilderness, and the shells poured towards the city of Derry as if they didn't want money.

The city defense of Delhi was quickly broken, and several gaps were smashed into the city wall.

Wu Yingqi commanded the army to pour into the city from the gap, and Aurangzeb ordered the army to block it.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides fought fiercely at the gap, blood and life continued to bloom, and then quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"kill!"

"Fall!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"..."

Amidst bursts of shouting, countless corpses piled up the gap.

Almost like a hill.

Finally, under Wu Yingqi's order, the Tianzhu army rushed into the city of Delhi.

Since the Tianzhu army entered the city, the resistance of the soldiers of the Mughal Empire dissolved as quickly as ice melted.

Aurangzeb led his army to withdraw to South India, preparing to rebuild the city of Delhi in South India and continue to resist.

Wu Yingqi ordered his troops to pursue him, but he still failed to catch up with the defeated Mughal Empire.

……

After Wu Yingqi won a big victory, he ordered to move his capital from Lahore to Delhi.

Then preparations were made for effective domination of the Ganges plain.

At the same time, the pursuers of the Tianzhu Army were still chasing the remnants of the Mughal Empire all the way south.

Sweep across many towns, defeat countless enemies, and be aggressive.

Due to the existence of military deterrence, Wu Yingqi easily gained a firm foothold in Derry City.

For the convenience of ruling, he basically did not touch the interests of local interest groups.

Instead, they simply chose to use the local tax package system.

That is to say, the local government has to pay him Wu Yingqi a sum of taxes every year. Other than that, the local government decides all affairs by itself.

Wu Yingqi's move may be turning the clock back in history!

However, this also made Wu Yingqi's rule in the Ganges River Basin quickly stabilized.

Local high-caste people, as well as landlords and monks, have chosen to cooperate with Wu Yingqi's ruling group.

It doesn't matter who they pay taxes to anyway.

As long as their interests are not moved, they can accept another big daddy on top of their heads.

Because, in a sense, the Mughal Empire is actually just an outsider.

The real master of India is not the Mughal Empire, but these high-caste landowners and monks.

……

Compared with Wu Yingqi's extensive ruling methods, Wu Yingxiong carried out reforms in Zhou State.

The registration of registered households and land inspections were carried out.

Then, he started preparing to use local resources to develop industry and commerce.

Wu Yingxiong's land is very suitable for growing cotton and developing textiles.

After the development of industry and commerce, Wu Yingxiong began to study the compulsory education system of Ming Dynasty.

However, Wu Yingxiong's compulsory education is only for the descendants of the ruling class such as the Han people in Zhou Dynasty, Mongolians, Tibetans, and Uyghurs.

Those third elder brothers should just be serfs obediently!
Wu Yingxiong must ensure that his ruling group is constantly injected with fresh blood and cultivate talents for the development of his country.

In order to realize their own effective rule over the country, rather than gaining the right to rule through compromise with interest groups.

The difference in the ruling methods of Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi represents two completely different directions of national development.

Wu Yingqi focuses the future of her country on external expansion.

I hope that I can win the whole of India in a short period of time, so as to make my country stronger and richer.

Therefore, he has to compromise with the local vested interests, and gain their support by giving concessions to the vested interests.

In order to expand further!
But Wu Yingxiong is different.

Wu Yingxiong knew that his military ability was relatively weak, so he had no plans to expand his military force abroad.

His ability is biased towards politics, so he plans to work hard on politics to ensure the stability of his rule.

Now the only external threat Wu Yingxiong faces is the Persian Empire to the west.

But the pressure from Persia was shared by Daming's garrison in Suiye City, so Wu Yingxiong was free to manage internal affairs.

……

The winter of the 19th year of the restoration of Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Hongyu confirmed that his prince was quite capable of handling government affairs, he directly ordered him to supervise the country, and then he took his wife, concubine and children to the south for the winter.

The first choice is Hainan Island!
Zhu Caikun stood on the platform of the railway station outside Nanjing, watching helplessly his father, mother, younger brother and sister boarded the train together, and went on a trip, leaving him alone to guard the country and house, standing in a mess in the wind .

Suddenly, he had a feeling of being abandoned, and his heart was very stuffy.

However, while he was heartbroken, he also felt a little ecstatic.

At least from the current point of view, the father wants to let him inherit the throne.

Otherwise, he would not throw all the government affairs to himself, and would not worry at all that he would use the opportunity of supervising the country to form cliques for personal gain and cultivate party members.

It's just that Zhu Caikun really felt a lot of pressure when so many government affairs were thrown at him.

Although he had already started to deal with government affairs before, but at that time, after all, his father was in the town of Beijing, so he could ask him anytime if he didn't understand.

Now that his father is out of Beijing, Zhu Caikun is really not used to it.

However, there is nothing to do if you don't adapt. The emperor has already left, and he can only stand up as a supervisor.

If it were seen by outsiders, Zhu Hongyu would hand over all the government affairs of the huge countries to a child who had just grown up.

This behavior is very irresponsible!

However, this is not the case.

Because the political system of Ming Dynasty is very perfect now, the cabinet, the secretariat, and the supervisor of ceremonies cross-handle the memorials.

Among them, the cabinet is responsible for specific processing and implementation, the secretariat is responsible for deliberation, and the supervisor of rituals is more representative of the existence of imperial power.

With these three parties present, what the Prince Jian Guo has to do is to control the rhythm of the government and make a living seal.

It can even be said that with the current political system of Ming Dynasty, let alone the emperor is an adult with normal thinking and sound mind, even a milk baby can run smoothly.

Zhu Hongyu never expects his descendants to be geniuses.

All he can hope for is institutions.

Because he knows that handling government affairs through a sound system is far more reliable than pinning hopes on the monarch alone.

Besides, even if there is something in the DPRK, the supervisor and the cabinet ministers can't make up their minds.

Isn't it still possible to ask the emperor by telegram?

Daming now has telegrams!

The speed of conveying news by telegram is very fast without delaying things.

……

Zhu Hongyu took his royal driver, wife, concubine and children all the way south by train.

They first stopped in Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places.

Zhu Hongyu led a team to inspect the local industrial development, infrastructure, etc., and met with officials and gentry representatives.

Then a banquet was held to set the direction for the development of the place.

After finishing these things, Yu Jia continued to set off, all the way south along the coast, Zhu Hongyu inspected all the important cities in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places.

Zhu Hongyu said that he was going on a trip, but where can he really play.

To be precise, it's about the same place as the inspection site.

After Zhu Hongyu personally inspected Guangzhou Customs and the development of the Special Economic Development Zone in Guangzhou, he boarded a ship from the pier in Guangzhou and prepared to go to Qiongzhou.

The ship they are going to take is the latest iron-clad steam battleship developed by Daming.

The wood used for shipbuilding is the best oak, and all important parts are reinforced by steel components, all-steel shell, streamlined hull, watertight compartment design...

With a displacement of more than 21 tons, the design of sails and masts is abandoned, and two sets of large steam units and propellers are used as power sources. The maximum speed can reach [-] knots, and the effective battery life is [-] nautical miles.

There are 130 forts and [-] large and small cannons on board, all of which are the latest rear-mounted cannons.

The caliber of the main gun reached an astonishing 210mm.

In addition, there are fifty rotary machine guns designed to be installed on both sides of the ship's side to deal with enemies who want to fight against the side.

Such an iron-clad warship can be said to be the most advanced and powerful warship in the world at present, bar none.

Such a warship, to some extent, can be said to be an epoch-making existence.

The advent of such a warship will completely change the rules of future naval warfare.

The navy is even planning to name this warship "Unsinkable Dragon King", because in their view, this warship will be a warship that can never be sunk.

However, this proposal was rejected by Zhu Hongyu.

Damn it, names like Unsinkable and Undefeated are fucking inauspicious. If he really had such a name, then Zhu Hongyu wouldn't dare to board the ship.

For example, the Titanic is a huge steel ship that claims to be unsinkable, and then he sank.

The Yamato battleship in the small days, known as the strongest battleship in the world, is an undefeated myth, but he also sank.

From this we can see how unlucky such a name or nickname is.

In the end, Zhu Hongyu personally decided to name the warship Luzon.

Because, in his view, the current Daming started from Luzon, and then developed all the way to its current scale.

He hopes that this warship, which he named Luzon, can also inspire the navy of Ming Dynasty to continue to develop and strive for a brighter future...

It is also to further promote the existence of Daming in Nanyang!
