The five hundred and sixtieth chapters do not say that the words do not predict [1 more]
I have to say that Gu Ming was very arrogant. The soldiers looked at Cheng Yan one by one. Cheng Yan sighed softly and heard a bang. The long sword was unsheathed, and then there was a flash of blood, and he saw a
A stream of blood arrows shot out, and a headless corpse staggered and fell to the ground with a thud. And on the ground, there was a head with an unbelievable look on it. Who could it be if it wasn't Gu Ming?
The slaves following Gu Ming were suddenly restrained. They were members of the royal caravan, and they were always domineering. But when they thought about it, Gu Dayong was behind Gu Ming.
The general manager is here, let alone a mere guerrilla general. Even if the minister of war is here, he must treat Gu Ming with great courtesy.
What they saw was that Cheng Yan chopped off Gu Ming's head without hesitation, and everyone was stunned.
Many of these people don't know the news of Gu Dayong's downfall, so in their subconscious, with Gu Dayong here and Gu Ming carrying the banner of Gu Dayong, there are really not many people who dare to challenge him.
rude.
Cheng Yan sheathed the long sword in his hand, looked at Gu Ming's head on the ground, stretched out his hand to take the spear from a soldier beside him, and lifted Gu Ming's head high with a sudden jerk.
"Don't say that Gu Dayong has been executed. Even if Gu Dayong is still here, my general will kill you like a chicken!"
While speaking, Cheng Yan raised Gu Ming's head high and roared: "Everyone should evacuate the port immediately. Anyone who disobeys military orders will be killed without mercy!"
It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. What's more, now that they saw Cheng Yan's ruthlessness, those who knew about Gu Dayong's downfall were also secretly frightened.
After all, even if Gu Dayong collapses, Gu Ming is still a leader of the royal caravan no matter what. Even without Gu Dayong's support, Gu Ming still represents the royal family's face to a certain extent.
In the end, Cheng Yan was stunned and chopped off Gu Ming's head with a knife, and everyone was restrained.
A stern look flashed in his eyes, and Cheng Yan shouted: "Everyone, leave the port quickly!"
This time with Cheng Yan's shock, no matter what these people think in their hearts, whether they are willing or not, unless they want to test whether Cheng Yan's knife is fast enough, or whether their heads are hard enough.
, everyone cooperated honestly and evacuated the port as quickly as possible.
Cheng Yan was now neatly dressed and appeared in front of a fort in military uniform.
As the gateway to Gyeonggi, the Ming Dynasty has not had enemies from the sea for hundreds of years, so its defenses have naturally been much laxer. Even the forts are old and dilapidated, and it is a question of whether some artillery can be fired.
Of course, this was the past. When Chu Yi took power, he vigorously developed maritime power. It is conceivable that Tianjin Port, as an important gateway to Gyeonggi Province, was naturally concerned by Chu Yi.
As the saying goes, what is good from above will be effective from below. Chu Yi attaches great importance to the development of the navy, so the maritime defenses of Tianjin Port have naturally taken on a new look thanks to the efforts of these officials.
Although there are not many new artillery built by the Ministry of Industry, there are thirty-two of them placed in this port.
Don't underestimate these thirty-two artillery pieces. After Chu Yi's guidance, the improved new artillery's range and speed have increased by several percent compared to the previous ones.
In the port, these artillery were placed in four places. The place where Cheng Yan was located was the one closest to the sea, and the vast blue ocean was a few hundred meters away.
At this time, the continuous ships on the sea could already be seen with the naked eye. Cheng Yan took a deep breath and said: "Send an order to the other party and send a signal to the other party to stop the ship immediately. If they take another step forward, it will be regarded as a provocation."
.”
Soon I saw the messenger conveying Cheng Yan's order to the other party through flag language.
On the sea outside Tianjin Port, there are hundreds of ships in a row, which looks extremely powerful.
In Cheng Yan's view, the styles of these ships were almost identical, so he naturally regarded them as one family.
But if you really understand the various flags flying on these ships, you will immediately understand that this fleet is simply a coalition force.
In this era, the great voyage of the West began, and many countries joined the ranks of maritime powers and frantically expanded their power and influence on the sea.
The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and even England are all developing maritime power as a whole, and needless to say, this fleet is a fleet united by the Netherlands and Portugal.
As a maritime power, the Netherlands has been surpassed by rising stars, but as a former maritime coachman, the Netherlands' heritage is not bad at all.
Especially in this eastern land, the Netherlands is so powerful that even Portugal and Spain may not be able to compete with it together.
The previous fleet of Dalikis disappeared after entering the Ming Sea and was never heard from again. This naturally made the governor of the Portuguese Asia Fleet worried.
Not long after, several sailors from the Portuguese fleet that Chu Yi deliberately let go finally sent back the news of Dalikisi's defeat.
As an ancient Portuguese nobleman, Earl Harry not only has a noble status, but also has a decisive influence in the Portuguese military.
Because the navy's influence is so great, Earl Harry can be ranked at the forefront of the Portuguese military.
If it weren't for Earl Harry's fascination with expansion, Earl Harry would never have traveled so far and taken such a huge risk to come to the East.
Earl Harry was surprised to learn that the army led by Dalikis was completely defeated and fell into the hands of the Ming Empire.
Earl Harry was not willing to believe the words of those navy soldiers who escaped at first, but whether he believed it or not, Dalikis and others must be saved.
Of course, Earl Harry was very cautious. Even though his men could mobilize dozens of warships, Earl Harry still chose to unite with the Netherlands immediately.
The Netherlands came to the other country earlier than Portugal, and had a much better understanding of the Ming Empire than Portugal.
In the impression of the Dutch, the monarch of the Ming Empire implemented the policy of banning the sea, which was short-sighted and extremely stupid. However, the Ming Dynasty was extremely huge, like a behemoth, which was very intimidating.
The Dutch occupied the Strait of Malacca and their forces had not yet entered the Ming Dynasty's coast, so there was no conflict with the Ming Dynasty yet.
But it is certain that in the near future, the Dutch will not stop and will definitely compete with Ming Dynasty.
So when Earl Harry found the Dutch, as the governor of the Eastern Fleet, George and Earl Harry almost hit it off. The two parties joined forces and almost allocated 80 to 90% of the maritime power of the two countries in the Eastern Sea.
Many, surprisingly, nearly a hundred ships have been raised, of which battleships alone account for almost half, and there are nearly fifty ships.
If there were almost fifty warships firing a salvo, it would be a salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces. Its power would be absolutely astonishing and terrifying.
With the purpose of testing the Ming Dynasty's reaction, the Dutch and Portuguese coalition forces appeared outside Tianjin Port. George, who was standing on the deck with a glass of red wine in his hand, nodded slightly to Earl Harry and said: "Ha
Count Rui, did you see it? The other party asked us to stop the ship immediately, what do you think we should do?"
Earl Harry smiled slightly and drank the red wine in one gulp. Earl Harry licked the corner of his mouth and said with a ferocious look in his eyes: "If you want us to stop, let's see if they have the strength.
"
Earl Harry and Governor George have been developing colonies at sea all year round. They are not ordinary people. For them, etiquette and morality are all nonsense. Only power, and power is the truth. Without strong enough strength as a guarantee, the so-called etiquette is all nonsense.
Empty talk.
As he spoke, Earl Han Rui said to a messenger next to him: "Tell the people on the other side that we are going to dock in the port, hoping to open the door to convenience."
When Cheng Yan received the news from the messenger, Cheng Yan couldn't help but frown and said: "It's not clear whether he is an enemy or a friend, how can we let him enter the port?"
As he spoke, Cheng Yan punched the shiny barrel of the artillery beside him and shouted: "Fire as a warning. At the same time, he continued to play flags and tell the other party that if they dare to move forward again, they will be shelled immediately. If there is any loss,
, don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!”
Governor George and Earl Harry looked at each other, and only heard Governor George say to the herald: "Order the first team to speed up immediately for this governor, and must rush into the port in the shortest possible time."
Earl Harry squinted his eyes. Since he wanted to test Ming's strength and attitude, he had to take risks. As for a good discussion, if they had such an idea, they would not have gathered so many ships at once.
Ships, troops and crowds are coming.
In the final analysis, neither Governor George nor Earl Harry regarded the Ming Dynasty Navy as any opponent deep down in their hearts. In their eyes, the only real opponent was the other party.
However, the two of them were holding telescopes in their hands and staring at the group of more than a dozen large and small ships. They saw that these ships immediately broke away from the fleet and headed straight for the port like arrows.
In the port, Cheng Yan, who was standing in front of a fort, naturally clearly saw the dozen or so large and small ships that suddenly rushed out. He waved his hands suddenly and shouted: "Light the beacon fire, fire a volley of artillery, and give these to this general."
All the ships were sunk."
On the fort, complete preparations had been made, and the cannons that could fire shells at any time suddenly roared.
The rumbling sound was like a thunderous explosion, and then on the sea surface, water columns splashed up to a height of more than ten feet.
On the four forts, there are more than thirty artillery pieces in total. The difference is only a few breaths of time. Under the salvo of dozens of artillery shells, a blind cat can hit a dead mouse, not to mention that these gunners are armed with
Cannonballs are made one after another with a lot of money. I can't say that they will hit 100%, but they have at least a half to 10% chance of hitting.
This chance does seem very small. After all, when shelling each other on the vast ocean, the hit rate itself is not high. Let alone 10%, even half a percent is quite astonishing.
With a click, a small boat was unlucky and was hit by a cannonball on the spot. With a roar, the cannonball exploded and the small boat was blown into pieces.
