Early in the morning, there was an endless stream of people coming to see him off. It turned out that Zhi Pengya was about to go on a mission to the state of Wu. People still thought it was a diplomatic delegation paying tribute to the court, and did not notice that their monarch was also on the fleet. This time

Two Guangzhou ships and one Fu ship were arranged for the voyage, with nearly 100 people accompanying them. This diplomatic activity is expected to last for one month in Wu State. They need to learn enough experience before returning to the country. As for the choice of tribute items, most of them are

It is an item purchased from a foreign country. Since Champa only produces fish and grain, in order to save face, officials collected brass and gathered the efforts of craftsmen from many Southeast Asian countries to cast a tripod. The tripod symbolizes power in China.

The tripod is also an important weapon of the country and the seat of destiny, so it is most appropriate to give it to you.

Pengwei mobilized weapons craftsmen to improve artillery and create ship artillery. The artillery shells were generally made of iron and filled with gunpowder. After being fired, they could damage the hull of the ship, causing the ship to leak, allowing the ship to flood and sink. This was also the 16th century

Commonly used by Western navies, this kind of artillery is very convenient. Even fishing boats can be equipped with it. Even the weakest ship can rely on the artillery to have lethality.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, firecrackers had been widely used in sieges and coastal defenses. According to the historical process, firecrackers were improved into artillery ten years later and were widely used on ships of the Ming army. However, it still needed to popularize firecrackers in the West.

In about half a century, it will take about 100 more years to use artillery on ships. Installing artillery on ships can greatly improve combat effectiveness. Even a medium-sized navy will be difficult to defeat. Naval technology is the most developed.

A month later, the diplomatic mission and others arrived in Guangzhou, but the city of Guangzhou was in raging war. Shao Zongyu, who turned out to be one of the leaders of the rebel army, captured Guangzhou and burned and looted it. He Zhen led his army to start a war to regain Guangzhou.

"It seems that the city of Guangzhou is not peaceful either." Zhi Pengya sighed.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Now we need to change our plan and berth in Fujian." Navy Admiral Luo Yuemin said.

Zhi Pengyi nodded in agreement, but Fujian was Chen Youding's territory, and Chen Youding was the general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. If he knew that his trip was to pay tribute to the state of Wu, there would be great hidden dangers.

"We disguised ourselves as a trade team and docked in Zhangzhou." Zhi Pengwei commanded. Chen Youding and Chen Youliang were mortal enemies. On their border, that is, Ganzhou, frictions continued and conflicts broke out, and Chen Youding's political

The center is in Quanzhou, so you shouldn't notice that they stopped in Zhangzhou. It just so happens that this time they also brought a large amount of money to buy technology and goods. They could disguise themselves as a trade team at the customs.

After making the decision, everyone got ready and headed towards Zhangzhou.

About 8 days later, the fleet arrived in Zhangzhou, and the next step was to enter the customs. There were not many people stationed in Zhangzhou Port. There was a war in the north, and a lot of manpower was transferred to the war. The port shipping officer symbolically checked the items and saw that there were

A lot of goods were allowed to be docked, but the giant tripod was not found, so it was considered a near miss. Perhaps the Cham people are of the Mongolian race in South Asia, and their appearance is basically the same as that of the Han people. If the shipping officer did not distinguish carefully,

Can't tell the difference.

In addition to the guards, the 100 people who made Pengwei were some famous craftsmen in China. During the time they were reorganizing in Zhangzhou, some people went to learn the technology of renovating Fuzhou, and some bought some ancient books and brought them back to the country for use.
