There is not a single old-fashioned warship in this naval sequence ready for long-distance voyages, all of which are sail warships ahead of their time, each with its own propellers that can be driven by manpower.

All the newly built warships of the Navy are wrapped in nickel and white copper, and this extravagant and unique design has increased the service life of the warships by 30%, doubled the interval between overhaul and maintenance, and greatly improved the utilization rate of the warships.

The warships are equipped with a large number of spring-loaded heavy guns, and there are more than two rifled guns, which can be described as strong guns, suitable for both near and far.

The era has developed to an era of ship-to-ship firepower, and naval battles in vain attempts to engage in broadside and jump to seize ships with infantry will only appear in the relatively backward navy.

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

When encountering a bombardment of battleships, the battleships lined up at close range to rain flower shells, solid shells, conjoined shells, and so on, and such a fierce artillery bombardment would certainly be able to win against the British, who were known for their fierce firepower.

When the navy wanted to seize the enemy's batteries that had been painstakingly built on the shore, it gave full play to the range advantage of rifled guns, and it was not a problem to unilaterally defeat the enemy's batteries with one cannon at a time.

Therefore, the Huang navy was superior to the British navy, which had a large number of sail warships at Dagukou.

As the head of the family did everything he could to develop his maritime power and prepare to compete for territory with the colonial empire, there are currently nearly 100 warships under construction in nine large shipyards, each of which is equipped with powerful firepower.

Guo Huaiyi has performed well in recent years, not only has he been appointed by the Ming Dynasty as a guerrilla in coastal defense, but he has also been awarded the title of military officer in the Huangjia system navy, and he is now the captain of the destroyer "Ran Min" with a displacement of 1,500 tons, with seven warships.

He had personally led the fleet to Malacca three times for reconnaissance, and the destroyer "Ran Min" was the first batch of flying scissor sail warships, and the speed belonged to the Terminator of the Sail Age.

Guo Huaiyi took the initiative to become a test sailor when the "Ran Min" had just begun its sea trials, and a group of designers and craftsmen sailed the "Ran Min" all the way to the Indian Ocean under the command of the experienced Guo Huaiyi.

Next, Guo Huaiyi contracted the task of trying the new warship, and he did not delay in beating rabbits in the grass, and each time he passed through the Strait of Malacca to the Indian Ocean.

Of course, Guo Huaiyi will continue to land to replenish fresh water, this is an important transit and assembly point on the Maritime Silk Road, there are so many Han people, and the agents of the Huang family who appear as merchants 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 been stranded in Palembang in the southeast of Sumatra Island with dozens of agents, and under the cover of being a Ming businessman, he really does business, buying a large number of raw materials for fierce fire oil and precious metals such as copper, gold, and nickel.

The intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Service, who were both businessmen and agents, began to operate on the mainland and islands on both sides of the Strait of Malacca, recruiting a number of Hermes-Epitek who longed for the strength of the motherland and developed into a downline.

These Han people-Epitek, who have lived abroad for a long time, are even more enthusiastic about serving the country, and they have a fight with those overseas Chinese in Nanyang who served the motherland during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Whether it is Sumatra or the Malay Peninsula, the natives here have always been envious and jealous of the Han people, and they committed organized crimes, maliciously robbed the wealth accumulated by the Han people, and slaughtered the Han people at will and insulted the Han women.

This is entirely because the Han people are not only industrious but also intelligent, they have paid hard work and sweat, and they have compared the lazy natives one by one on the unequal starting line.

The indigenous monkeys saw that the Han people were living better than them, so the monkeys resorted to violent means, because every time the monkeys grabbed and killed hard, they were not taught a lesson, so they intensified, and the life of the Han people was even more difficult.

Nanyang Hanmin, who was developed into a military intelligence department, saw the advanced warships of the motherland and had many heavy guns, and they were so excited that they burst into tears.

All the soldiers and civilians of the Huang family claim to be Ming people, but they will not explain to foreign countries the differences between the Huang family system and the Ming Dynasty, and they can't understand the explanation.

Soon the recruited Han people of Nanyang knew the exact news that the powerful Ming Dynasty wanted to seize control of the Strait of Malacca, and take all of Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula into two provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

The Han Chinese diaspora are very excited, they will soon change from the status of being bullied by the natives in a foreign land to the owners of this land, and the monkeys who bullied them before will definitely become dead monkeys if they do not go up the mountains and the sea.

It didn't take long for more than 1,000 Han Chinese to travel all over the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra with the help of a steady stream of funds, and they secretly depicted and measured the mountains and rivers here.

The Huang family's professional agents will specialize in reconnoitring cities and cottages with garrisons, and will of course focus on exploring strategic points.

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

Now the department has a detailed nautical chart of the vicinity of Malacca, as well as a sand table in the Malay Peninsula near the Straits of Malacca.

In the Ming Dynasty classics, Sumudu Thorn Island is the later Sumatra Island, which now 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, trending northwest to southeast, intersecting the equator in the middle, and consists of two regions, the Barisan Mountains in the west and the marshland in the east.

The western half of Sumatra Island is mountainous, the high Barisan Mountains are in the northwest to southeast direction, stretching for more than 3,000 miles, the east of the mountain range is an alluvial plain, the south is wide and the north is narrow, and the widest part is more than 200 miles.

There are many rivers on the island, mainly the Musi, Badanghari, Indragiri, Gamba and others, most of which are navigable. The longest river, the Hari River, is navigable for nearly a thousand miles.

This is the only way to pass through the Maritime Silk Road, there are a lot of oil reserves underground, there is palm oil production on the ground in later generations, there are a lot of natural resources, the area is as large as the four Jiangsu provinces in later generations, such a good place Han people certainly deserve to have.

The Portuguese have taken the lead in colonizing and panning for gold, and of course the battle with the local indigenous forces has never stopped.

After about a year of meticulous exploration, the sand table near Malacca in Sumatra has also been made.

The latest information is that Malacca is occupied by the Portuguese, and the island of Sumatra has been colonized by them.

The Huang 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 is just around the corner.
