Chapter 57, Don't Kidnap Me Away!

South China Sea.

Cloudless, blue waves rippling, scorching sun in the sky.

It is a rare fine weather.

on the sea.

A huge fleet sailed north.

The flag of the same brightness of the sun and the moon hoisted on each ship shows the identity of this fleet.

This is the fleet belonging to Ming Wang Zhu Daohua.

It was already February nineteenth.

After nearly four days of sailing.

The fleet has already passed Qiongzhou.

Go straight in the direction of the Pearl River Estuary.

Passing merchant ships have long been expelled by the scout gunboats sent out, so as not to be spied on the reality of the fleet.

In fact, the armed forces possessed by this fleet.

Not to mention East Asia in this era.

Even in Europe.

That is also the topmost existence.

Navies throughout Europe.

Those were behind heavy and expensive battleships.

In front of a fast gunboat equipped with a pointed tail wooden support shell, there is no way to fight back.

Even.

In the future fleet plan of the Ming army.

This wooden fast gunboat is only a transitional product-the future belongs to ironclad ships.

Zhu Daohua only waited for Watt to solve the thermal efficiency problem of the steam engine, and for the metallurgical engineer named Martin to put the open-hearth steelmaking method into large-scale application.

Then you can build a truly epoch-making warship—the iron-clad gunship!
The iron-clad gunboat is the real, epoch-making revolutionary armed force.

Of course.

For the current Ming army fleet.

Single-masted, two-masted, three-masted fast gunboats.

It is enough to use.

The front, back, left, and right sides of the fleet are gunboats responsible for escorting.

And in the center of the fleet.

It is hundreds of Chinese sailboats.

All are three-masted galleons.

The ship types are mainly Guangzhou Ship and Fuchuan.

This is the most common Chinese hard sailing boat in the South China Sea.

Although this sailboat is not fast enough.

But the advantage is that the load capacity is good, the operation is convenient, and the number of sailors required is much smaller than that of a soft sailing ship-fewer sailors require less supplies, which means more load space.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhu Daohua to abandon this type of ship that has great potential to develop into an excellent merchant ship.

A long time in history actually.

Even with the appearance of ships powered by steam engines, sailing ships still have not stepped out of the stage of history—after all, steam engines need to burn coal as power, and their endurance is limited.

In fact, when the ironclad battleship first appeared.

It needs to be dragged to the battlefield by a sailing warship - if the ironclad ship is allowed to sail to the battlefield position by itself.

The fuel needed is enough to backlog the loading space of the ironclad ship itself.

So even if you have a steam engine, you have cheap steel.

The sailboat is also irreplaceable for the time being.

At the forefront of the fleet.

The sides of a three-masted schooner.

The faces of the Ming army sailors wearing the red uniforms of the Ming army were tense.

Everyone is staring ahead.

At this time, it is close to the mouth of the Pearl River.

Enemies may appear at any time.

This will be another clash between the Ming and Qing Dynasties after more than 100 years!

But Zhu Daohua, who was sitting on the top cabin, was very relaxed.

"Your Majesty, our Xu family is the most familiar with the terrain of Lantau Island. The main hall of the Hongqi Gang was here at the beginning, but since the Xu family returned to Your Majesty, the Guangdong Navy sent an army of warships to land on Lantau Island."

On Zhu Daohua's side is Shi Xianggu.

This time, he was the only woman who accompanied Zhu Daohua.

The main reason is, of course, that Shi Xianggu is in good health and can make a fuss.

In fact, Luo Fangmei is also in good health.

But she was honored to conceive a child for King Ming.

If the baby is a boy.

If nothing else happens, he will become the glorious successor of Daming.

Unlike later generations, no one in this era dares to say who they are as successors.

Anyone who dares to say in front of Qianlong that he is a "successor of Qing feudalism" will definitely be dissatisfied by the Jiuzu.

And the significance of Daming having a successor is of course also quite significant-to put it in an unlucky way, even if Boss Zhu died suddenly unexpectedly, if he has no heirs, the situation he created will fall apart.

in contrast.

If Luo Fangmei gave birth to a son.

As a queen, with the support of Luo Fangbo, Ye Daoqi and other Lanfang aristocrats, she can keep her youngest son and supervise the country.

This situation is not easy to break up.

After the Great Ming Jiashen Rebellion.

If one of Chongzhen's sons can go to Nanjing.

The situation in Nanming would not be so messy.

Therefore, before the army set off, it was announced that the queen was happy.

It was a shot in the arm for the Ming Palace.

And after Luo Fangmei got pregnant gloriously.

Shi Xianggu was also a little impatient.

Volunteer.

To accompany Zhu Daohua on the expedition.

The reason is also very valid.

To talk about the understanding of the Pearl River Estuary.

Who can compare to the pirates of the Xu family?
Now that the fleet has arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River, the outline of Lantau Island is already clearly visible.

"Mother Throwing Thunder Lou! It's really against the light!"

Lantau island.

Guan Shouzhong, the garrison of the Guangdong Lvying Navy, lay on the watchtower and looked around. Seeing the sea and sky line in the distance, almost overwhelming ships, he couldn't help but gasp.

In fact, before this, the reconnaissance ships of the Ming army frequently circled Lantau Island for close reconnaissance.

But Guan Shouzhong and the Qing soldiers on the island are also used to it.

So I didn't take it seriously-even if it is the Qianlong Dynasty, which is known as the prosperous age, the Qing Dynasty is basically in a state of defenseless.

The fleet has arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River.

The Guangdong Lvying Navy did not respond.

"My lord, the trend against the Ming Dynasty is strong, let's... let's withdraw!"

"withdraw?"

Guan Shouzhong frowned.

He has a nickname of "Sai Guan Gong" in the Guangdong Green Camp.

Not that he is very good at playing.

Instead, he looks upright.

At first glance, it is the material to play a positive character.

He was tall and tall, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dark beard hanging down to his chest.

Perhaps it is to be called his "flower name".

Sai Guan Gong also liked to mention a Yanyue knife.

Go there.

No makeup required.

Then there will be a period of Guan Gong Wenjiu and Huaxiong.

Plus his name is nice.

It sounds like a loyal minister.

Therefore, Guan Shouzhong, the general of the hereditary green battalion, can be regarded as a prosperous official.

Less than 50 years old.

Just became the garrison officer of the Green Camp Navy, this is a military officer of the fifth rank!
Although military officers of the fifth rank were nothing in the Qing Dynasty-the status of the military officers of the green camp was low after all, and the military officers of the fifth rank had to salute in front of the civil officials of the seventh rank.

But for Guan Shouzhong, who was originally just a small general.

That was a position that he didn't even dare to think about.

can do it all.

First of all, thanks to the good-looking parents and good genes, I have grown into this majestic appearance.

Secondly, I would like to thank my parents for naming me well.

Guan Shouzhong.

What a loyal minister.

Secondly, of course, I have to thank myself for making reasonable use of the human settings.

Guan Shouzhong is naturally loyal.

But he's not stupid either.

The army on the opposite side is under pressure.

The seven or eight boats under my command are there to deliver food.

But as a garrison officer, if you lose your land.

That's the crime of beheading.

It's really embarrassing.

Guan Shouzhong frowned more and more.

Mr. Qian beside him was already trembling in his legs.

"My lord, let's fire a few cannons from a distance before running. We said that there was a battle on the sea, and we were rushed to the periphery by Ni Ming. We can't go back to Lantau Island. Therefore, we can only save our strength."

The subordinate advised,

Guan Shouzhong frowned: "I have the responsibility of guarding the land. If you want to go, you go. Remember to bring Ni Ming's information back to Guangzhou! I will fight Ni Ming to the death!! Don't kidnap me!"

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a reward.

　　Nanyang has been delayed for a long time.

　　To be honest, there are many things I want to write, but I have strayed a bit far from the main line, I will add it later, and now I am returning to the main line, the Northern Expedition!Northern Expedition!Northern Expedition!
