The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 583
All newly-built warships of the Navy are clad with nickel-nickel-nickel copper. This extravagant and unique design increases the service life of warships by [-]%, doubles the interval between overhaul and maintenance, and greatly improves the utilization rate of warships.

Warships are equipped with a large number of spring-absorbing heavy guns, and more than [-]% of the rifled guns can be said to be strong and powerful, suitable for both distances and nears.

The era has developed to the era of ship-to-ship comparison of firepower. Naval battles that try to take over the board and jump gangs to seize ships with infantry will only appear in relatively backward navies.

Huang Sheng is a prophet, of course, let his navy one step ahead.

When encountering battleship bombardment, the battleships lined up and poured flower bombs, solid bullets, conjoined bombs, etc. on the enemy ships at close range. Such fierce bombardment would definitely win against the British, who are known for their fierce firepower.

When the navy wants to seize the forts that the enemy has painstakingly built on the shore, it will give full play to the range advantage of the rifled guns.

Therefore, the Huang family's navy is more powerful than the British navy, which had a large number of sailing warships at Dagukou.

Since the owner of the family tried his best to develop sea power and prepare to compete with the colonial empire, there are currently nearly a hundred warships under construction in nine large shipyards, and each warship is equipped with powerful firepower.

Guo Huaiyi has performed outstandingly in the past few years. Not only has he been appointed by the Ming court as a coastal defense guerrilla, but he has also been awarded the military position of the fifth-rank supervisory leader of the Huang family system. He is now a [-]-ton "Ran Min" destroyer. The captain of the seven warships.

He has personally led the fleet to Malacca for reconnaissance three times. The "Ran Min" destroyer is the first batch of clipper-style sail warships, and its speed belongs to the terminator of the age of sail.

Guo Huaiyi fell in love with this warship with unparalleled speed when the "Ran Min" just started its trial voyage. He volunteered to be a test pilot. "Min" traveled all the way to the Indian Ocean.

Next, Guo Huaiyi undertook the task of trialing the new warship. He did not waste any time, crossing the Strait of Malacca to reach the Indian Ocean every time.

Of course, Guo Huaiyi will continue to land to supply fresh water. This is an important transit gathering place for the Maritime Silk Road. There are so many Han people. The agents of the Huang family who appear as businessmen will of course find various reasons to go ashore to do business.

The Malacca Military Intelligence Department came into being, and the chief officer was the experienced Lin Chaoping.

He has brought dozens of agents to stay in Palembang in the southeast of Sumatra Island. Under the cover of a Ming businessman, he really does business and buys a large amount of raw materials for fierce oil and precious metals such as copper, gold, and nickel.

The intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Department, who are both businessmen and spies, began to operate on the mainland and islands on both sides of the Strait of Malacca, recruiting a number of Han people who yearned for a strong motherland and developed them into off-lines.

These Han people living overseas for a long time are even more enthusiastic about serving the country, which is comparable to the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia who served the motherland during the Anti-Japanese War.

Be it Sumatra or the Malay Peninsula, the aborigines here have always envied and hated the Han people. They organized crimes, maliciously robbed the wealth accumulated by the Han people, slaughtered the Han people at will and insulted the Han women.

This is entirely because the Han people are not only hardworking but also intelligent. They have worked hard and sweated, and even compared the lazy natives one by one on the unequal starting line.

The indigenous monkeys were jealous that the Han people lived better than them, so the monkeys resorted to violence. Since the monkeys robbed and killed each time without any lesson, they got worse and the life of the Han people became even more difficult.

The Nanyang Han people who were developed into the off-line of the Military Intelligence Department saw the advanced warships of the motherland with many heavy artillery, and they were so excited that they burst into tears.

All the soldiers and civilians of the Huang family claimed to be from Daming, but they would not explain the differences between the Huang family system and Daming to foreigners, and even if they explained, they would not understand.

The Nanyang Han people who were quickly recruited all knew the definite news that the powerful Ming Dynasty wanted to seize control of the Strait of Malacca, taking Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula into two provinces of Ming Dynasty.

The Han Chinese are very excited. They will soon become the masters of this land instead of being bullied by the natives. The monkeys who bullied them before will definitely turn into dead monkeys if they don’t go to the mountains or go to the sea.

It didn't take long for more than 1000 Han Chinese to travel all over the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra with the help of a steady stream of funds. They secretly described and measured the mountains and rivers here.

The Huang family's professional agents will specialize in reconnaissance of cities and villages with garrisons, and of course they will focus on the investigation of strategic points.

The reconnaissance work done by the Malacca Military Intelligence Department may be more detailed than before Little Japan launched the war of aggression against China, because China is too big after all, and Little Japan is too small after all, and the place that the Huang family wants to take is only equivalent to two places in China. Big province only.

Now the Zanhua Department already has detailed nautical charts near Malacca, as well as a sand table of the Malay Peninsula near the Strait of Malacca.

The Sumatra Island in the Ming Dynasty classics is the later Sumatra Island. It still has a name called "Jinzhou". As the name suggests, there are gold mines on this island.

Sumatra is the sixth largest island in the world. It runs from northwest to southeast and crosses the equator in the middle. It consists of two regions, the Balisan Mountains in the west and the swamp in the east.

The mountains in the western half of Sumatra run through the mountains, and the high and steep Balisan Mountains run from northwest to southeast, stretching for more than [-] miles.

There are many rivers on the island, mainly Musi River, Batang Hari River, Indragiri River, Gamba River, etc., most of which are navigable.The longest Harry River is navigable for nearly a thousand miles.

This is the only way of the Maritime Silk Road. There are a lot of oil reserves underground, and palm oil is produced on the ground in later generations. It has a lot of natural resources. The area is as big as the four Jiangsu provinces in later generations. Such a good place is of course the Han people. worth having.

The Portuguese have already taken a step ahead to colonize and pan for gold here, and of course the contest with the local indigenous armed forces has never stopped.

After a year or so of careful exploration, the sand table near Malacca in Sumatra has also been completed.

The latest information is that Malacca was occupied by the Portuguese, and part of Sumatra was colonized by them.

The Huang family's navy is ready to expand its territory and seize the golden waterway of Malacca, so that it will become a land that the Han people will never give up.
