In line with the principle of being able to trick anyone one by one, Yang Feng abandoned Zhao Jianji and others after arriving in Suzhou.
Just throw it away.
Neither the Suzhou Guards nor the Suzhou Prefecture are willing to jump into this pit of fire.
So he simply threw the prison car at the gate of the government office, and then ran away with Dai Gui. The poor fellow magistrate of Suzhou Prefecture, who is still an agent to this day, cried and chased them, as if he was chasing a heartless man, but in the end he still
Didn't catch up...
He really cried!
Dinghaiwei arrested Xu Gui.
But that night Xu Gui committed suicide in prison.
Anyone with any brains will understand that this Tamar has to be at the level of a vassal king. It can make a commander choose to commit suicide to protect himself. This is not at the level of a prince at all. This kind of thing must be avoided. No matter in the end
Whatever the result, everything is in trouble. It is said that the Suzhou government took over the task of escorting Zhao Jianji to Beijing, so should they die suddenly on the way? Or what the emperor's thoughts are on this matter, and the emperor
What does Taisun think about this matter?
Death suddenly?
The emperor may be satisfied.
But this told the Emperor Taisun that he was not respected here.
He definitely hoped to use this to attack the feudal king.
This is a good thing that falls from the sky. For the emperor's grandson, this is really a knife in his hand, and he can take the opportunity to launch a legitimate attack on his uncles.
If the Suzhou government is so disrespectful, then it will be time for him to settle the score after he ascends the throne.
Not a sudden death?
Then the emperor will think you are ignorant.
He may not have to wait for autumn, and he will settle accounts with you soon.
In short, as long as you take over, you will get into trouble.
But now that Yang Feng had abandoned him and ran away, it was impossible for the Suzhou Prefecture to chase him and send him to Nanhui. The poor Suzhou Prefecture co-president shed tears that night, and the next day he still sent someone to escort him to Beijing, but only
We hired more than a dozen servants...
That's the kind of free sex.
Even the peasants had to bring their own dry food.
But what he did was right, because at this time, the local government used this kind of escort to escort criminals to Beijing. Only those escorted by the army would be truly worthy of soldiers. In short, the opportunity is given, and the rest of the love can be done as you like.
He didn't have to worry about sending people out of Suzhou Mansion, so in the end he chose to give face to the emperor's grandson.
The emperor's grandson is the future.
How many years can His Majesty the Emperor live?
The future is what matters most.
Nanhui.
"Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal."
Yang Wen said with a wry smile.
So now the pressure is on his side.
He looked at the subordinates in front of him who were already waiting for orders...
"Weigh anchor and march to Sizhoutang!"
he said.
The two deputies, Liu De and Shang Bing, immediately left with their generals.
A signalman in front of them waved the flag of anchoring, war drums beat, cannons boomed, and horns rang throughout the sea and sky. Flags of orders were waved on the warships on the high tide, and the sailors took advantage of the tide to begin to weigh anchor and set sail.
, battleships slowly moved forward one after another, and a spectacular picture of sails like forests unfolded on the sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River. The smoke caused by the sound of cannons that served as signals dissipated among the battleships.
"Loyal minister!"
Yang Feng gave Yang Wen a thumbs up and said.
So Yang Wen's choice is the same as Dai Gui's.
"Humph, of course Yang is a loyal minister, but I just don't know what you want to do."
Yang Wen said.
He chose to be a simple loyal minister.
After all, this is his duty, and there is no need to consider the consequences.
He was carrying out Zhu Yuanzhang's order.
It's that simple.
However, Yang Feng was so happy to watch the emperor's jokes, which made people speechless. After all, there was no practical benefit to watching Yang Feng. At most, it would make him proud in front of the emperor, but it might anger the emperor and settle accounts with him later.
In other words, a normal person like Yang Wen cannot understand a soul seeking death.
"I am an international friend of Ming Dynasty. I broke up such a big conspiracy for Ming Dynasty, so that Ming Dynasty can clean up its internal rebellion, protect the peace of the people along the coast, and fully demonstrate the friendship between Ming Dynasty and Daxia. His Majesty the Emperor should give me a medal.
."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Yang Wen just snorted coldly.
Speaking of returning the medal, it would be nice if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't prepare a frying pan for you.
Then the two of them boarded the waiting boat in front...
Sanjiao River.
Onboard Yang Wen's flagship.
Yang Feng was on the deck with a high-power mirror, looking at the Sizhou Pond that gradually appeared as the battleship moved forward.
Japanese pirate warships were parked there.
"Let all the warships with heavy-lift rapid-fire cannons line up in a single column, and then ride the wind across them. Move all the heavy-lift rapid-fire cannons to the side facing the Japanese pirates and replace them with single-headed projectiles. When they approach within thirty feet, they open fire.
.However, the power of the thousand-jin rapid-fire cannon is still too small. If you want to really sink a warship, you will need a lot of artillery shells. In the future, you can specially build short and thick heavy artillery. A shell weighs more than ten or even dozens of kilograms, and it will hit it when it gets close.
By bombarding at the waterline, one shell can penetrate an enemy ship. This is the tactic used by later generations of Thai and Western warships to sail across the sea, but the warships required for this must be large enough.
Because the cannon fired too violently.
If the warship is not big enough and the hull is not strong enough, it will easily fall apart."
Yang Feng taught them new naval warfare tactics.
"So it's a combination of a ship with a big cannon, a huge ship with tens of thousands of materials and a giant cannon of ten thousand pounds?"
Yang Wen said.
"Yes, invincible!"
Yang Feng said.
"But where in the Ming Dynasty can I find enemies worthy of such a battleship?"
Zhang Xianzong said speechlessly.
"Isn't it okay to promote the country's prestige? Besides, are such cannons meant to bombard warships? Isn't it okay to sail outside the enemy's ports and bombard their coastal cities? You can even design special explosive bombs and bombard enemy cities.
At that time, foreign countries like Nanyang and the West would have to submit to the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, warships may come at any time."
Yang Feng said.
Of course, he also knew that in the future at least for the foreseeable future, the Ming army would really not be able to find an enemy worthy of this set of equipment, and the Thousand-pound Furlong machine would be enough to roam the seas. Although it is not easy for the Thousand-pound Furlong machine to sink warships.
, but the problem is that if the enemy only uses bows and arrows, there is no need to sink the enemy ship!
Just use shotguns to kill people.
So to be precise, he just wanted to see the giant ships and cannons.
A giant ship with tens of thousands of materials and a giant cannon weighing ten thousand kilograms.
If it were Zhu Di, he would probably like this style of painting very much.
But Zhu Yuanzhang had to consider the cost.
Yang Wen just smiled slightly, and then the battleship at their feet cut across Sizhou Pond.
Columns of gunboats followed behind.
The galleys and clippers guarded the outside of these gunboats.
Driven by the northwest wind, the flagship quickly entered the harbor.
Thousand-pound rapid-fire cannons were aimed at each other on the deck.
There are also a large number of small rapid-fire guns, which are loaded with shotgun shells.
Then there are the three-eyed guns and archers.
"Hold still, fight again when you get closer."
Yang Feng personally guided.
The Japanese pirate warships on the opposite side have rushed out, but they are only small warships. The large ones have been scuttled directly in the bay...
They just stood there waiting for help.
Therefore, these large warships are of no use. Instead, they are attacked by the Ming army when they go to sea. If they are scuttled in the bay, they can use the surrounding reefs to restrict the Ming warships to a range where they cannot maneuver quickly, while these warships carry kindlings from the gaps.
If you hit the Ming warships, you can launch a fire attack. After all, the most effective method of water warfare at this time is the fire attack, but these are just like death squads of the Japanese pirates. The real main force of the Japanese pirates are on the shore, and you can see their camps in the mountains and forests.
That is the core of their defense.
These were only used to weaken the Ming army's landing strength.
Yang Feng looked at the Japanese pirate warships one after another.
The Japanese pirate sailors on these battleships roared.
Their main weapons are bows and arrows, as well as some throwing axes and javelins.
Then there are spears and the like.
Behind the protective wall, the Ming soldiers waited quietly, looking condescendingly at the Japanese pirates through the gun doors. The latter paddled forward desperately, and there were piles of hay, sulfur and the like in the cabins. They looked like a group of Japanese pirates emerging from the sunken ships.
Mad dog in the alley...
"Fire!"
Yang Feng roared with great momentum.
The rapid-fire cannon sprays flames at very short intervals from front to back.
The distance is only a few dozen meters.
The hit rate from such a distance was extremely high, and blood and flesh splattered instantly on the Japanese warship.
Then……
It sank.
"Ugh, this is too weak!"
Yang Feng looked at the sinking Japanese pirate warships in front of him with discomfort.
Because they were from a high position, all the cannonballs that hit were fired from above, and the wooden boards of these small Japanese warships were too thin. Even the cannonballs of the thousand-pound furlong machine could not be withstood at such a close range. In the end, they were shot directly from top to bottom.
Throughout...
"Haha, this is the strongest enemy in the Ming Dynasty!
Why do we need a huge cannon?
A thousand pounds is more than enough!”
Yang Wen said with a proud smile.
The sound of cannons on the sea was still ringing out, and the Japanese warships trying to attack the Ming army were sinking amidst the sound of cannons. Although some of them broke through the firepower of the Qianjin rapid-fire cannons, those Japanese warships had not yet reached the Ming warships.
The Japanese pirates were beaten into pieces by the firepower of small rapid-fire cannons and three-eyed muskets. In the end, not a single Japanese pirate warship successfully launched a fire attack.
Yang Feng looked speechlessly at the sinking Japanese pirate warships and the dead bodies on board.
This is crushing!
At the same time, the Ming army's galleys began to enter Sizhou Tang.
As for the rapid-fire cannons on the large battleships, they aimed at the Japanese pirates on the shore. The shells fell among them. The Japanese pirates who were hiding behind their shields with bows and arrows realized that their shields were meaningless. These shells
Easily break their protection, and then harvest their lives. You don’t even need a single-headed bullet, the large shotgun can easily penetrate their shields, then penetrate their vine armor, and then penetrate their bodies. Beach
It immediately became a hell for Japanese pirates.
Quickly collapsing, they ran wildly on the beach toward the forest behind them, but shells with a range far beyond their imagination continued to fall among them.
Then bring out the splatter of blood and flesh.
Immediately after the first Ming warship docked, soldiers with three-eyed guns rushed out first, and then fired volleys at the Japanese pirates' backs.
This weapon is indeed weak.
However, that is for those protected by real armor.
These Japanese ashigaru were nothing more than rattan and leather armor, and bullets from three-eyed cannons easily penetrated them. A large number of the fleeing Japanese pirates fell on the beach under the intense bullet strikes.
The Ming army ignored the reloading and rushed towards the injured Japanese pirates. He simply raised the three-eyed musket and smashed their heads, and then continued to chase the Japanese pirates into the mountains and forests. Although they could not develop their firepower advantage in the mountains and forests,
But fortunately, they were able to crush their opponents in hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons. As the warships continued to dock one after another, more Ming troops completed their landings and joined the pursuit. The smoke filled the beach, and the large warships on the sea surface were equipped with rapid-fire cannons.
He raised the muzzle of his cannon and continued to chase the Japanese pirates. Even the Japanese pirates who ran into the mountains and forests could not escape the blow.
"Keep raising the muzzle and see if you can hit their stronghold!"
Yang Wen held up the triple mirror and said a little uncomfortable.
This battle is really easy.
Of course, he must have expected this result, but it was so smooth that he still felt that the world was changing too fast. The casualties he could see until now were probably only a few dozen people, and the dead bodies of the Japanese pirates were all turning red.
The beach.
"The distance is two miles, so the firing range is sufficient. However, they are at a high altitude. Raise it to the maximum elevation angle, and then fire when the hull is rocking to its highest level!"
Yang Feng said.
Eight thousand-pound rapid-fire cannons were aimed.
Just when the ship's hull swayed with the waves and the muzzle reached its highest point, the eight cannons spurted out flames at the same time...
"Keep going, if you can, drive them out!"
Yang Feng, who was staring at the village with a high-power lens, shouted.
At this distance, he could even see clearly the appearance of the Japanese pirates with his high-power lens. Amidst the sound of cannons, he continued to stare at the stockade and the chaos of the Japanese pirates inside. The stockade was a mountaintop surrounded by a wooden wall, so he could see what was going on inside.
Wu Yu, he quickly found the target he was looking for in the chaos inside...
"Li Baihu, come closer, this ambassador wants to conquer it personally!"
Yang Feng shouted happily.
Then he handed the high-power lens to Dai Gui.
"Brother, you won't cheat me, right?"
He looked at the latter with sincere eyes.
"Ambassador, please tell me something!"
Dai Guiran said.
Obviously he is indifferent to the words "brother". It is too dangerous to be this guy's brother. He might be beheaded by His Majesty the Emperor one day.
"Look at Hafu. Whichever way he goes, your signal flag will point there. I'm afraid he won't find me on the battlefield!"
Yang Feng pointed to his high-power lens and said.
It can be clearly seen from inside that Hafu and his subordinates are coming out of their shacks in the chaos of the Japanese pirates, but at this time they are fully armed, and not only them, but also a firearms team of hundreds of people, these
They should be under Lin Qing, as these maritime smugglers are both traders and thieves.
They just use those rapid-fire cannons and three-eyed guns.
This combination is very clever.
A firepower projection team composed of a large number of firearms, coupled with a hand-to-hand combat team composed of elite soldiers, a Yang-killing legion targeting Yang Feng was waiting for him.
Dai Gui nodded.
"brother!"
Yang Feng patted his shoulder with satisfaction and said.
Immediately afterwards, Ambassador Yang threw off his robe with great momentum, revealing the dazzling silver of the suit of armor underneath. He actually wanted to use gold-plated ones, but that suit needed Zhu Yuanzhang's approval. Gold jewelry cannot be used casually, just like this under the sun.
He picked up two special maces, swung them over his shoulders, looked at Li Baihu who was already approaching, and jumped down...
