Although Zhao Peng felt a pity that Ajige was first taken by Wu Yingxiong, considering Wu Xiaomei's face, Zhao Peng gave up on this matter.

Zhu Cilang and Princess Kunxing lived in the empty Forbidden City for six days, arranged for people to create new furniture, repair the palace, cleared all the Manchu signs in the palace, and worshiped Chongzhen's tomb. Then the two planned to return to Nanjing first, and after returning to Nanjing, they moved the entire Ming Dynasty from Nanjing to Yanjing.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Princess, you go back to Nanjing first. I want to travel to Japan." Zhao Peng said.

"Brother-in-law, go early and go back early. After I return to Nanjing, I will soon move the capital back to the north. If you are not here for such a major event, you, the commander of the Jinyiwei, are not allowed to be there." Zhu Cixuan said.

Zhu Cixuan and Princess Kunxing returned to Nanjing without taking the sea route, because it was too uncomfortable for people who would feel seasick. The brother and sister chose to take a canal boat south to return to Nanjing.

Zhao Peng planned to go on a mission to Japan, so after he arrived in Tianjin, he parted ways with Emperor Shaowu's dragon boat. Zhao Peng took a small boat down the Haihe River and arrived at Dagukou Fortress.

At this time, there were not many Ming troops stationed in the Dagukou Fortress, and only two thousand soldiers stationed at the fortress were left. The Dagukou Fortress was also handed over to the Ming Navy. In the future, the soldiers stationed at the fortress will all belong to the navy soldiers.

The Ming Navy will sooner or later be changed to the Ming Navy. In the near future, the newly established Ming Navy will have surface ship troops, marines and coast guard forces, and the artillery batteries in various places belong to the coast guard forces. Naval aviation and submarine forces will not appear in a short period of time, which is a future matter.

For countries like Japan, as long as you have stronger force than him, he will be obedient.

So this time Zhao Peng planned to bring all the battleships to Japan to let his mother see the power of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Navy currently has two first-class battleships, three second-class battleships and five third-class battleships, as well as eight fourth-class frigates, twelve fifth-class frigates, one hundred and twenty six-class privateers, and thousands of other Chinese-style boats.

In order to save costs, the second-class battleship, third-class battleship and most frigates do not use flying scissors hulls, but the hulls of conventional Western-style warships.

The second-class battleship of the Ming Dynasty was named the Victory Class. The first ship, the Victory Class, had a displacement of 1,100 tons, and two-layer artillery decks, equipped with ninety cannons; the third-class battleship was Jinan Class, with a displacement of 800 tons, and two-layer artillery decks, equipped with seventy cannons.

Among the fourth-class frigates and fifth-class frigates, except for the two fourth-class frigates and two fifth-class frigates that use the clipper type, the rest are Garen type, which not only saves construction costs, but also can accommodate more cannons.

Since the displacement of fourth-class and fifth-class ships is low, the hull will be too narrow if the fly-scissor type is adopted, so you can only use small cannons. However, if you adopt the conventional Garen ship type, the hull will be much wider and you can install larger heavy cannons. The only four frigates have used the fly-scissor type, which is used as fast warships.

As for privateers, it is even cheaper. It does not even require expensive ironwood, but is made of ordinary fir. The privateers' displacement is only between 150 and 200 tons, and they are not equipped with large-caliber cannons, but are equipped with three-pound and four-pound cannons.

Starting from the mid-17th century, the sea coachman, the Netherlands, had many maritime confrontations with the British, and finally ended with the failure of the Dutch. From then on, the Anglo-Saxons began to control the ocean, and the British controlled the ocean until before World War II in the 20th century. By World War II, it turned out that the Americans controlled the ocean.

Both British and Americans are Anglo-Saxons, but they are actually all one family.

With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty's naval strength, it is still incomparable to that of England. You should know that in this era, there were as many as 32 third-class battleships. Although the British had only two first-class battleships and not many second-class battleships at this time, there were as many third-class battleships and fourth-class frigates that he did not have. It would take a long way to go to the Ming Dynasty's navy to seize the position of the Anglo-Saxons as the maritime overlord. Zhao Peng estimated that it would be difficult to take away the maritime overlord from the British without a hundred years.

However, with the current Ming navy, it is absolutely enough to deter Japan. As long as you bring two first-class battleships, three second-class battleships and five third-class battleships to Japan, you will be sure to scare Tokugawa out of his urine.

The third-level battleship is the main force in naval battles. In addition to the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty, there are third-level battleships, Zheng Zhilong's Fujian Navy and the Donglin Party's Donghai Navy have begun to order third-level battleships from the Royal Shipyard.

After everything was ready, on June 18, the Ming Dynasty's Royal Navy set sail, two first-class battleships, three second-class battleships, five third-class battleships, eight fourth-class frigates and twelve fifth-class frigates were anchored from Dagukou to set sail, heading towards the eastward direction of Japan.

The huge fleet sailed out of the Bohai Bay and entered the East China Sea (there was no name for the Yellow Sea at that time, and they were all called the East China Sea). The fleet passed by the peninsula. At this time, the Korean Peninsula began to retreat, and North Korea changed from a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty to a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

When the fleet sailed across the Han River Estuary, the Goryeo ships on the sea saw a "foreign ship" flying the sun and moon flags passing by, and they were so scared that they dodged away.

The Ming Navy headed straight for Edo Bay, and the fleet sailed across Jeju Island, crossed the Korean Strait, and entered the Japanese waters. Soon the fleet saw the coastline.

On the sea, the busy Japanese fishing boats saw a giant "Overseas" ship passing by, and were so scared that they all avoided them.

"These foreign ships are so big!" A Japanese fisherman said, pointing to the Yuefei battleship sailing in the front.

The Japanese had seen Western ships before, but the sea coachman's ships had been here. But this time, the ships they saw were larger than those of the Dutch, and the three-story cannon doors were intimidating.

A fisherman said: "These foreign ships are not merchant ships, but warships! All we have seen before are merchant ships, and these are warships!"

The news of the discovery of the "Yangyi" warship in Guanmen Strait was immediately rushed from Edo by beacon.

Tokugawa Iezuna received a report from the samurai: "Your Excellency General, the giant ship of the Yangyi ship is catching the edge and comes from the Korean Strait. It has passed the Guanmen Strait. It seems that he is coming straight to our Edo Bay."

"How many ships do the enemy have?" Tokugawa Ietsunobu was shocked.

The report from the Bushido: "The largest ships are ten, and the smaller ones are twenty, a total of thirty."

"Isn't it just thirty years of searching ships? What's there to be afraid of? How about their largest ship, the Thianzai ship?" Tokugawa Ietsunobu asked.

The warrior replied: "It's much larger than Anzhai Ship, at least as big as more than ten Anzhai Ship! It has three-layer artillery decks, at least one hundred cannons, and all of them are giant cannons of the National Collapse level."

The collapse of the country was the Japanese who saw the power of the red cannons, so they named it the collapse of the country, which described the bombardment of such cannons and bombardment, which could destroy a country.
