What Yang Feng was waiting for review in front of him was the main fleet of the current Ming Navy.

Eight battleships.

The steel skeleton with teak hull and oar-sail hybrid, except for the previous Dingzhenwei three ships, the other five ships each have two six-inch main guns, which can ensure that the victory can be penetrated at a distance of 1,500 meters, coupled with a top speed of nearly 18 knots, it is definitely the sea hegemon of this era.

Eight battlecruisers.

Well, the name is a bit bluffing, but it's actually a thin-skinned stuffing, made from the British cruisers that were destroyed and sunk in Humen, plus the shipbuilding timber purchased from places like Siam Annam, and the British will certainly not continue to provide him with teak planks, and will not allow the ships transporting teak to pass through the Strait of Malacca, which they control. Although other countries also have some teak, Yang Feng could not wait for a long dry period of three or four years, and if he wanted to buy this kind of formed battleship planks, he could only go to the British shipyard in Mumbai, and it was impossible for other countries to provide him with more than half a meter thick, so these second-class planks were used to build these eight thin-skinned and large-stuffed battle cruisers. However, there is no difference in firepower configuration from battleships, after all, the cannon is mounted on a steel skeleton instead of a wooden plank, but the ability to carry shells is poor, and it is useless to meet the 68-pounder bombardment gun that the British are beginning to use, which can penetrate even a dozen centimeters of wrought iron armor.

Provided, of course, that the British were able to bring the distance closer to range.

You must know that even with sails and propellers, the top speed of these war cruisers can reach an astonishing twenty knots.

"Hello comrades, comrades have worked hard!"

Yang Feng, who was dressed in golden armor, waved his hand on the deck of the yacht and said.

The sound of his armor was built into his armor, and his voice immediately resounded through the sea, and the sailors on the battleships in the line saluted in unison, and then their voices rang out immediately.

"Serve the people!"

All the sailors shouted in unison.

Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, raised a hand in greeting, and the yacht under his feet sailed by near the battleship in turn.

At this time, more than 100,000 people have gathered on both sides of the strait, and these people are constantly cheering for the myth, and the red dragon hugging the sun and moon flags are waving in their hands, and the United States, France and the Dutch consul in Guangzhou who were invited behind Yang Feng are also looking at these brand-new giant ships with emotion, especially the terrifying six-inch cannon, you must know that at this time, sixty-eight pounds on European warships is already the limit, but he directly went up to more than 100 pounds, in this era of cannon is justice, this is undoubtedly very shocking.

In the crowd on the shore, Davis and several British naval officers who had come to visit prisoners of war were also silently watching the scene.

The deadline for them to pay has not yet arrived.

In fact, because of the distance, they did not know how the parliament decided at this time, and it would take several months for the news of Britain to reach here, but they themselves knew very well that this time the British Empire could only succumb, and even if the Royal Navy drove the newly built Trafalgar, this 120-gun first-class battleship would not be able to withstand these new warships.

They themselves are already in the rank of a first-class ship.

With a standard displacement of more than two thousand tons and a length of more than sixty meters, it is not much worse than the Trafalgar except for the number of guns, which is two thousand six hundred tons and sixty-two meters, but the two largest sixty-eight-pounder guns of the latter are purely funny in front of the more than a hundred pound guns on these battleships, and the Trafalgar, which is also pure sail, is also purely funny in front of these steam-powered warships, and these warships control the hegemony of the South China Sea, and Britain wants to continue to maintain maritime trade east of the Strait of Malacca, You have to bow your head in front of that God Emperor.

Davis let out a long sigh.

At the same time, his gaze was far away from Yang Feng at sea, and he even vaguely felt that the latter was smiling at him.

And at this time, Yang Feng rose into the air.

In a frenzied cheer, the God Emperor landed directly on the Weiyuan at the front, and then all the sailors rushed to their respective posts, a British sixth-class ship as a target was dragged by a steam tugboat to a distance of 1,500 meters from the fleet, and then with more fanatical cheers, the gun mounts of the twenty-six six-inch guns on the thirteen new warships rotated along the track, and quickly pointed the muzzles at the target ships, and then the originally flat muzzles were slowly raised.

"Fire!"

The Divine Emperor's order suddenly sounded.

The main guns of the thirteen battleships roared one after another at extremely short intervals, and in the deafening sound of the cannons, terrifying flames erupted, and twenty-six ninety-pound shells flew out in the blink of an eye to the target ship, and two shells hit its head and tail respectively.

The power of terror penetrated directly through the small ship.

Two shells flew out of the other side of the boat with pieces of wood, and then the fuse of the medicine tray detonated the charge inside, and the exploding shells stirred up a spectacular column of water on the surface of the sea, and in the cheers, the flanks of the sixteen battleships followed one after another flames, and the stormy shells tore the battered battleship apart in the blink of an eye, and then turned into a pile of wreckage and began to sink in the light of the explosion.

At this moment, all eyes focused on the deck of the Weiyuan, on the golden figure.

The maritime hegemon of the Western Pacific was born at this moment, and he used his cannon to announce the arrival of the era of Ming domination of the Western Pacific.

"This is really a strong ship!"

A sigh of emotion suddenly sounded behind Davis.

He hurriedly turned his head.

A middle-aged man with braids behind him smiled at him, although the Ming Dynasty-controlled area cut his braids at this time, because there were many businessmen from the north and south, no one would catch them even if he still had braids, and the businessmen here went to the Qing army-controlled area, and the latter also turned a blind eye.

In other words, many good things produced by bandits are also sought after in Beijing.

The emperor takes that painkiller!

The pocket watch that flowed out of the bandit was also hung on the emperor's body, but he didn't know it, and thought it was a Western product!

So for these businessmen, both sides have a tacit understanding to turn a blind eye, at most pay extra attention, anyway, they are nothing more than the possibility of being spies to listen to some information, the Ming side doesn't care about this at all, the intelligence on the Qing army's side does not need special investigation at all, and some people secretly run to the south to pay allegiance to the emperor, I'm afraid that the Qing army has any movements, and the Ming army knows faster than many officials in the Qing Dynasty.

Davis nodded at him, then turned his head back.

And by this time the review was over.

This is actually not just a review, after the completion of the Zhiyuan and Jingyuan......

Well, Yang Feng's battleship is eight far away.

He already has Dingzhenwei, of course, he has to name the other five yuan, and the battle patrol is named after the name of the Ming Dynasty, such as Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and after the review, the battleships Zhiyuan and Jingyuan, as well as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou battlecruisers moved south to Zhennancheng, and in the future they will be stationed in Zhennancheng as the second fleet to protect the Nanyang Chinese, and by the way, block the South China Sea route and prohibit British merchant ships from going north.

In addition, the battle cruisers Zheng He and Li Rusong will also depart.

The two warships were to cross the Pacific Ocean to escort the Ming Empire's envoys to the United States, accompanied by Di Lanor and a few Americans as guides, who were to Hawaii and then to Panama, and then south along the South American coastline to Peru and Chile.

In the future, Yang Feng will also purchase a large number of saltpeter.

At present, his synthetic ammonia is still a bit too exaggerated, can only use saltpeter and sulfuric acid this traditional process to make nitric acid, and Xinjiang saltpeter is too far away, the purchase of Chilean saltpeter is the only choice, this trade line is established, he can make nitric acid and explosives industry, and strive to make safe explosives born within ten years, anyway, other raw materials are very simple, diatomaceous earth, camphor these are, and within fifteen years can also let the Ming army transition to the era of explosives.

Then it was time for him to bomb the Europeans.

The fleet then bypassed Cape Horn and headed north to the United States, where it was difficult for them to have coal supplies and sail on sails and currents, all of which would take a long time, even if they brought enough coal before setting sail and would replenish coal in the United States before returning home, which would take an estimated year or two.

I have to say that it is very troublesome to do things in this era, but fortunately, it will be simple in the future, you can build a few supply stations along the line such as Hawaii, especially in South America, these countries can establish friendly relations, anyway, there will be no conflict of interest between Daming and them, on the contrary, the trade between the two sides is very promising, Chile and these countries have very good things at this time, whether saltpeter or guano is Yang Feng's favorite, and even another thing he likes.

Uh, he's talking about Coca-Cola.

He was definitely not talking about anything else.

After separating these two fleets, the first fleet of the Ming Navy, in fact, only six battleships and four battlecruisers remained, and for the time being, the God Emperor was not ready to build another battleship, and the next thing to build could only be an ironclad ship, and at this time it was still a little early to get on the ironclad, including his steel production was not enough to support, in the short term, his docks will go all out to build merchant ships, as well as small gunboats for patrols and sea guards.

That is, the frigate class.

This doesn't need to be done by the god emperor, the workers in the shipyard can do it themselves.

As for the Divine Emperor......

"How long will it take for the convoy to be completed?"

On the deck of the Weiyuan, Yang Feng asked his secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

"Back to the Emperor of the Gods, it will be enough in two months, that is, before the middle of June this year, and at that time, the wind has completely changed, we have no coal supply north of Fuzhou, and the coal carried by the battleship itself is not enough to go back and forth to Dagukou, just take advantage of the wind direction to finish this trip."

Rowan said.

"Two months, two months later, go straight to Beijing!"

Yang Feng said heroically to his subordinates.

The deck behind him was filled with cheers.
