Chapter 948: A Cigar
Looking at the Europa Combined Fleet that was sunk one by one, at this moment, Liu Hongji's mind swept over the land of China more than two hundred years later.
It was also the Eight-Nation Alliance, who relied on their ships and guns to slaughter civilians in the land of China, and then the soldiers came to the city to demand that Mites Qing sign a series of humiliating treaties.
Tens of thousands of Eight Banner cavalry attacked thousands of Europa, and finally the whole army was wiped out and Europa only a few people died, thinking of those humiliations, and then watching the scene he saw, Liu Hong gradually felt indescribably comfortable.
From decline to ZTE, from ZTE to prosperity, he and the Zhu family took 36 years.
Now he is going to take an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, while he is still alive, while his fists still have strength, he will completely drive the Europa into the abyss. The Europa warships were powered by steam and sails, but the main warships of the Ming Dynasty used more advanced diesel internal combustion engines, and the battleships were even electrified, so the Europa were not comparable in speed.
Two hours later, there were no Polish and Swedish warships on the sea, and there were driftwood and Europa soldiers floating on the surface of the sea.
Instead of wasting his precious time on killing the soldiers who had fallen into the water, Liu Hongjian directly ordered the main fleet to continue to pursue other enemies.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, the Europa people seem to have been stopped, and it is really a tiger father without a dog!" Qi Yuangong said excitedly.
"Hahaha, old Qi, your sycophant is good, there is progress!" Liu Hong smiled gradually.
After the Great Qin fleet led by Liu Aotian was secretly sent to an island and reef fifty miles away from the Strait of Malacca last night, it was originally prepared to attack from the rear when the battle was in full swing, but now it happened to play the role of intercepting the coalition fleet.
And Liu Aotian's ability to take the initiative to attack and stop the enemy according to the situation also shows that the heir of the Great Qin State is not a rigid person.
Qi Yuangong was blushed by Liu Hong's old face, although the three brothers of the Qi family are all in high positions, they are not very good at telling lies.
The Great Qin fleet was in front, the Europa fleet was in the middle, Zheng Sen's sailors were in hot pursuit, countless artillery pieces were carnivaling, and the sea seemed to be trembling.
The battle lasted until night, and the officials in charge of counting the exploits had lost count of how many enemy warships had sunk, and the wreckage was littered with the wreckage and the Europa people chanting on the wreckage.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, the enemy army is divided into four directions and fled, and it is not conducive to navigation at night, Lord Zheng and Lord Xiao Liu ask for instructions on whether to continue the pursuit." Qi Yuangong said.
He is also the commander of the fleet and aggrieved, in terms of position, he is the commander of the fleet, Zheng Sen is the deputy commander, and Liu Aotian is strictly a guest army, but he can't be the master of the next things.
Because Zhu Cihong and Liu Hongjian are on the side, they still have to ask for instructions if something happens, although these two have never been very blind in command.
After Qi Yuangong finished speaking, Zhu Cihong glanced at Liu Hongjian with the wine jug, and signaled that everyone listened to him.
"Chasing, but don't chase all, a group of lost dogs are just chasing the rout in the direction of the Cape of Good Hope.
"Another detachment of a detachment will rush to Bombay, kill all the English colonists, and receive all the factories, ports and bases of the English in the Mughals, and if the Mughal emperor obstructs them, they will fight if they can't beat them, and if they can't beat them, they will run." Liu Hong gradually thought about it.
He hasn't figured out the strength of India Ahsan, but England has been easily defeated by him with such strength, and Ahsan's military strength should not be strong.
And he just went to take over the territory belonging to England, just like after the defeat of the Germans in World War I more than two hundred years later, the devils wanted to take over the territory of the Germans in Shandong.
In short, except for the Chinese, these guys do not have a good bird, and he cannot be a virgin.
After agreeing on the plan, the Imperial fleet joined the Great Qin fleet and headed towards the Cape of Good Hope, and this chase lasted for ten days, during which more than a dozen battles took place.
Even some enemy ships abandoned their warships and fled to a nearby island in order to survive, and were finally sunk by the Imperial fleet, while the Europa fleet chased smaller and smaller, and in the end there were only a pitiful 20 or so left.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, the enemy army has just issued a flag, and it seems that they want to negotiate." Qi Yuangong came from the mast to report.
"Okay, you tell them, tell them to stop, and we'll talk to them." Liu Hong gradually lost his temperament.
The closer to the Cape of Good Hope, the more favorable the wind was for Europa's steam sail warships, but Liu Hongjian had no intention of really negotiating at all, and if the enemy ships stopped, Liu Hongjian would not hesitate to talk to them with cannonballs.
It's you who wants to fight, it's you who wants to negotiate, you don't surrender when you fight like this, and you still want to negotiate, do you want to eat fart?
Sure enough, after the flag was passed over, the Europa fleet ran faster, and Liu Hongjian was not angry, in addition to drinking with Zhu Cihong along the way, he occasionally chatted about the situation of the juniors, and this chase was another four days.
Four days later, the fleet finally reached the Cape of Good Hope, the southernmost point of the Levian continent.
"Your Majesty, remember this place, we may come often in the future." Liu Hong gradually put down his wine glass and said.
"Is it possible to follow the coastline all the way south from here to Europa?" Zhu Cihong questioned, it was the first time he had been floating on the sea for so long, and at the same time he was also full of interest in Europa.
Many days ago, during the pursuit, Liu Hongjian and the generals changed the battle plan, and set the end of the battle in Europa itself.
"Of course, maybe we have to float for at least a month, can you still hold up your body?" Liu Hong gradually glanced at Zhu Cihong and said.
Zhu Cihong's seasickness had already been adapted to on the way from Weihai to Luzon, but Zhu Cihong was not in good health, and he slept in the swaying cabin every day and was tortured.
"It's okay, I can hold on." Zhu Cihong said stiffly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the enemy army has sent another flag, and they want to surrender." The herald ran from the mast.
"Tell them, it's still the same sentence, let them stop, how can anyone keep running and shouting surrender." Liu Hong said disdainfully.
"Your Highness, at the current speed, we can catch up with the Europa before dark at the earliest." Qi Yuangong was very worried that Liu Hongjian would agree to the surrender of the enemy army, so he explained.
After the Cape of Good Hope, the wind direction suddenly changed, and the sails of the Europa people lost their effect under the headwind, and they could not outrun the Ming fleet at all.
But Qi Yuangong seems to be overly worried, where do the Europa people dare to stop, surrender is to survive, but the Europa people are worried that they will die faster if they stop, these days the shelling has never stopped, and the Europa people have long been scared.
At dusk, the last dozen warships of the Europa were finally sunk by the Ming fleet, and at the same time, the commander of the Europa fleet and several others were escorted to the Ming enemy ship Invincible.
"I am Nigel, commander of the Royal Navy of England, we have surrendered, and you should treat the prisoners favorably." Nigel was lying on the ground with all sorts of flowers, and the accompanying interpreter immediately translated his words to Liu Hongjian and others present.
"Everyone, he wants preferential treatment, if anyone wants preferential treatment, this king can be regarded as not seeing." Liu Hong smiled gradually.
As soon as the words fell, Niu Dabang walked over vigorously, and began to punch and kick Nigel and a few others, and several junior generals also went up to say hello.
A moment later, Nigel and the others were beaten into pigs' heads.
"This king tells you that the Ming Dynasty did not accept your surrender, and it is best to know each other, otherwise this king will immediately throw you into the sea to feed the fish." Liu Hongjian said to Nigel while drinking tea.
At this moment, a Europa general on the ground suddenly turned hideous, and while saying something loudly, his fingers scratched the deck desperately.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, this man said he wanted a cigar."
