In late December of the seventh year of Chongzhen, fifty battleships gathered in the port of Weihaiwei.

As far as the eye can see, the huge battleships like small hills are neatly lined up on the surface of the sea, and the magnificence of this is a thrill for everyone who sees it.

On the shore, more than 2,000 students of the Sailor Academy looked at these huge warships, and a trace of flush appeared on their faces.

Excited, excited, and a little nervous.

Because today, it is the day when they officially graduate and join the Daming Water Division.

For more than a year, under the leadership of the instructors, they have been practicing on the training ship with the sea breeze, and they have long understood what a ship is, what a cannon is, and what a sea battle is for you to live and die!

In addition to these, they know more about what is the sea frontier and what is the sea power, and they also know what kind of threats and invasions are being suffered by the merchant ships and ports of the Ming Dynasty today.

Now, the mission of defending the Daming Sea and protecting the Daming merchant ships has fallen on their shoulders.

The enlistment ceremony of the Sailor Academy was already grand, and against the backdrop of these fifty behemoths, it was even more enthusiastic.

In particular, when Qin Shuhuai, a scholar of the Wuyingdian University of the Dynasty, a first-class An Guogong, the commander of Dongchang, the governor of Liaodong Jingluo, and the governor of the national military garrison, personally presided over, it made everyone's hearts ripple, as if they had stepped on the battleship and galloped in the blue frontier!

There was no viewing platform, Qin Shuhuai was dressed in a military uniform, and walked directly onto a battleship on the shore.

The audience stood solemnly, everyone tensed their chests, stood straight, and quietly waited for the lecture of this legendary god of war of the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Shuhuai stood on the boat, stretched out his hand and pointed to the ocean, and shouted with majestic true qi, "Brothers, have you seen it? There are fifty battleships here, and each one of them was forged by countless craftsmen with sweat and blood! In order to rush the work, five craftsmen fell from a height and died while working at night, three craftsmen died when the cannon chamber exploded while testing the cannon chamber, and seven craftsmen died in the collapse of the kiln! However, they finished it! They built it!"

The north wind blew, and it was bitterly cold, but everyone's chest burned like fire!

"They used their sacrifices to build these 50 huge ships for the Ming Dynasty! But I want to tell you that these sacrifices are just the beginning! In order for my Ming merchant ships and fishing boats to sail farther and safer, and for our coastal people to be free from bullying and plundering, there will be more and greater sacrifices for our sailors in the future! This prince asks you, are you afraid?"

More than 2,000 teachers and students of the Sailor Academy shouted in unison, "Don't be afraid, not afraid!

The roar was like thunder, deafening.

When Qin Shuhuai heard such a shout, he also felt hot all over.

They are all hot-blooded good men!

He said loudly again, "Okay! Today you will set foot on these warships and end your career as a cadet, and from now on the burden of defending the Ming Dynasty and opening up the sea for the Ming Dynasty will fall on your shoulders! Remember, the emperor is watching you, my father is watching you, and the 20,000,000 people of the Ming Dynasty are watching you! If there is a sea frontier, there will be security, there will be a prosperous and powerful Ming Dynasty, and there will be an eternal prosperous era! You are the guardians of the prosperous world!"

"My father will give you another sentence at the end, there is no way out above the sea, and you are welcome to join the Daming Water Division!"

The brief speech completely pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

In the sound of the majestic horn, the battle flag of the Daming Navy Division on a red background and yellow side slowly rose from the fifty battleships, facing the fierce sea breeze, hunting!

Zheng Zhihu, the commander of the Nanyang Navy Division who came to receive these trainees, yelled at the trainees, "All obey the order!

Toot!

The trumpet sounded even louder!

The cadets all held their heads high and lined up to board the ship without hesitation.

On the shore, countless people watched with great enthusiasm, applauding and cheering loudly.

And the parents of those cadet soldiers burst into tears when they saw this.

But no one shouted a word that ruined the atmosphere, they just stretched their necks and shouted words like "be careful, take care".

More than an hour later, fifty battleships slowly sailed out of Weihai port and headed south.

In order to deal with the emergency, Zheng Zhihu personally led the team this time, and there were twenty old sailors from Fujian on each boat, so that even if there was a surprise attack, it would be enough to deal with it - otherwise the recruits would inevitably be a little scrambling.

Eighteen majestic Hongyi cannons silently pointed at the ocean.

Eighteen Furlong cannons were also involved, which were used against small melee clippers.

The firepower of one battleship reached a staggering thirty-six guns - who made this batch of battleships so big?

In fact, these fifty battleships sailed together, and no force dared to provoke.

To put it bluntly, even if they encountered the Dutch now, the Dutch would never dare to attack rashly - it was fifty large battleships, and the Dutch had only about twenty ships of the same class in the Far East.

Zheng Zhihu stood at the bow of the boat, surging at the moment.

It's not just because they finally returned to the sea and took control of the sailors, but because of Qin Shuhuai's words.

He knew that the imperial court's determination to open up the sea frontier and ports was real and strong.

He also knew that the era that belonged to their Zheng family had just begun!

He also knew that now he had enough chips in his hands to crush Liu Xiang and the Dutch, the two sworn enemies!

It's time to understand the grievances of the year!

If our Zheng family was still afraid of you back then, then now, behind the Zheng family is the entire Ming Dynasty!

Whenever he thought of it, he felt an invisible force.

Yes, now he has the entire Ming Dynasty behind him, what a huge power this is.

This power reassured him and gave him confidence.

Like these fifty battleships - fifty battleships built in just one year.

Seven years of Chongzhen have passed.

In this year, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Houjin, pacified the Western Regions and Mongolia, and the image of Zhongxing was even worse.

This year has been glorious and of great historical significance.

This year's Spring Festival, there are more fireworks than ever before.

During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Hua Shen, Lao Dao, Lai San'er, Qiu Dali, and Zhang Xiao also came. These guys are all single, and they want to eat.

After three rounds of drinking, Hua Shen suddenly said, "Helper, I want to marry Miss Liuyan as my wife." ”

Qin Shuhuai's hand slipped, and he almost didn't shake the food in his hand.

The eyes of the others widened.

Only Lao Dao has a hippie smile.

Liu Yan, naturally, refers to the White Lotus Sect's "Chang Shi Niangniang", and almost followed Qin Shuhuai's one.

I think Chongzhen spent a lot of money and wanted to see her, but he couldn't.

I didn't expect to hook up with Hua Shen?

Qin Shuhuai looked at Lao Dao, "Lao Dao, tell me how these two hooked up?"

Lao Dao laughed, "What kind of hookup, it's Lao Hua who is a nymphomaniac and wants to marry someone else." But Miss Liu Yan said that she was a constant maid and could not be married. ”

Hua Shen glared at Lao Dao, and then said to Qin Shuhuai, "Helper, as long as Miss Liu Yan doesn't be a regular maid, I will definitely be able to marry him." ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled, "Why?"

Hua Shen asked rhetorically, "What's wrong with my old flowers?"

"Hahaha!" Qiu Dali, Lai San'er and the others immediately laughed.

Qin Shuhuai shook his head helplessly, "Okay, I'll send a decree when I go back and remove Liu Yan's permanent attendant." It's pitiful that such a good-looking girl can't get married for the rest of her life. But Lao Hua, I won't help you protect this matchmaker, and she has the final say on whether she wants to. ”

Hua Shen grinned, "That's, that's! My old flower is not a villain who bullies men and women, it's all up to him." ”

Qin Shuhuai sighed in his heart, it has been more than five years in a flash. Now that it has been decided, it is time for the brothers to consider their own affairs.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lai San'er, "Lai San'er, what did you say about that spring flower? How many years have you been here, and you haven't married anyone else?"

Lai San'er scratched the back of his neck and smiled.

"Helper, I was just about to tell you about this. I plan to marry Spring Flowers at the beginning of spring, and I want to ask the helper to help me be the main marriage person when the time comes. Also, since my parents died when I was a child, it is best to ask Qiu Protector to help me get married. ”

Qiu Dali laughed, "Okay, you have to prepare a good gift to invite me to my house before I go." ”

Qin Shuhuai patted Lai San'er's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, I finally know that I'm in a hurry now?" Okay, if it drags on any longer, maybe people won't wait for you." ”

Lai San'er snorted, and took care of himself again.

"No, I've slept with her already. ”

"What?"

Everyone's eyes widened suddenly!

It's immoral!

Shameless!

"Lai San'er, okay, you kid!" Qiu Dali turned his head to Qin Shuhuai and said, "Gang leader, this thief dares to secretly marry a woman from a good family under the condition that the media is marrying, it is simply immoral, how can we have the face of our Jianghe Gang?"

Everyone was enthusiastic.

"Strip his clothes and tie them to the tree?" said Lao Dao very "seriously".

"Yes, wrap a few more firecrackers around him, and the crackling will be lively. Hua Shen added.

Even Zhang Xiao, who usually doesn't joke much, interjected, "According to the method of our hometown, it is necessary to soak the pig cage." ”

Qin Shuhuai spread his hands, "Well, Master, aren't you also in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall?" I think it's up to you to decide." ”

At this time, Lao Dao and Hua Shen pounced first and put down Lai San'er with a grin.

Lai San'er hurriedly shouted at Qin Shuhuai, "Don't help the master, you can't let me fall into the hands of these bastards! Don't you know what virtues they have?"

"Hahaha......"

In the dining room, there was laughter.

Outside, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers.

Chen Qing'er walked in and said to Qin Shuhuai, "Husband, it's time for the son, let's go and ask grandma for a good New Year!"

So Qin Shuhuai left Lai San'er and the others, took Qing'er's hand, and walked out of the house.

It's a new year!

On the eighteenth day of the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, all 50 battleships departing from Weihaiwei entered Fujian.

At the same time, the Dutch spotted this huge fleet for the first time.

They were shocked.

They couldn't figure it out, where did the Ming Kingdom come out of so many large warships?

And from the binoculars, it is clear that these battleships are all equipped with heavy cannons.

When did the Ming Kingdom have such a strong ability to build artillery and shipbuilding?

Shocked, except shocked or shocked!

The day after receiving the battleship, Zheng Zhilong received an envoy sent by Puttersmann, the governor of the Dutch East India Company.

The envoy was furious.

Because he felt cheated.

Zheng Zhilong had clearly repeatedly shown favor to the Dutch before, and had even almost told the Dutch that they could garrison troops in Penghu, but now he suddenly pulled out a large fleet of as many as fifty battleships, what is this?

The envoy loudly questioned what Zheng Zhilong meant.

What does Ming Guo mean?

He also told Zheng Zhilong that the fleet had disturbed the Dutch East India Company, and they demanded that Zheng Zhilong give an explanation immediately.

However, at this time, Zheng Zhilong's old face has already become the same as a month ago.

He smiled and said to the envoy, "Explain it, right? Okay, then Bendu tells you that we are going to destroy you." By the way, not only your fleet, but also all the ports of your East India Company, do you understand?"

Only then did the envoy know that Zheng Zhilong, who had suddenly become cowardly, was using a delaying tactic!

All his previous so-called "negotiations" and shows of weakness were just stalling for time.

He was waiting for the arrival of these battleships!

The envoy was furious, pointed at Zheng Zhilong and said, "Okay! Then we'll see you at sea! General Yiguan, our East India Company has never been afraid of any challenge. In Europe, we are known as the coachmen of the sea, and you will pay the price for today's rudeness. ”

Zheng Zhilong laughed when he heard this, and then his face sank and said, "Listen, you don't care about the governor in that small land in Europe, but this is the Ming Dynasty! Those who offend my Ming Haijiang will be killed! Don't worry, the governor will let you witness this with your own eyes!"

With that, he shouted to the left and right, "Tie up this red-haired messenger and imprison him on the flagship!

The envoy's face turned pale with fright, and he shouted, "General Zheng, you have a saying in the Ming Dynasty that 'the two countries will not be killed if they are at war', you can't tie me up, you are not open." ”

Zheng Zhilong said, "Oh? You red-haired people also know how to speak idioms? This governor has been crisscrossing the ocean all his life, and there are many things that are not overboard, is this one missing? Also, you red-haired people sank my Ming Dynasty's defenseless merchant ship on the ocean, and it will be above board?"

"You, you wait to be judged by the guns of the Dutch battleships!"

"Hehe, okay! With your twenty-odd-long flagship Fort Schmmy and a bunch of Galen wrecked ships?" Zheng Zhilong laughed contemptuously, "Ben Du is still worried about whether these goods are enough to stuff his teeth!"

Historically, the Dutch had about 20 main warships in the Far East, 11 of which participated in the Battle of Liuluo Bay, and the flagship Schmiburg ship was about 30 zhang long and more than 10 zhang wide according to the records of Ming military officials, which was about the size of the Ming Dynasty's treasure ship, that is, the battleship built by Qin Shuhuai now.

In addition, the Galen was also a large warship, and it was the main warship of the East India Company at that time. This kind of ship is famous in Europe, but the length is only more than ten zhang (about 50 meters), and it is not at the same level as the battleships of the Ming Kingdom at present.

Although due to historical changes, the Dutch now have seven more Galen ships and more than 20 smaller warships in the Far East, but when Daming broke out these fifty treasure ship-class battleships, they have no need to worry about this warship at all.

In this era, big ships and ruthless guns are the guarantee of hegemony at sea!

Of course, Zheng Zhilong has absolute confidence to crush all opponents in the Far East, not only the Dutch!

After tying up the Dutch envoys left and right, Zheng Zhilong immediately gave an order.

The whole army is ready to go to sea!
