Chapter 61: The more cattle crossing is coming
Chongzhen regretted it a little. Why didn’t he ask Zheng Zhilong about Japan before? Zheng Zhilong, such a major thing, didn’t even say it when discussing the matter at the Military Affairs Office. He is so mentally retarded!
In fact, this is indeed a bit unfair to Zheng Zhilong. After all, the iron ship is also heard from his subordinates. Zheng Zhilong is also very afraid of Japan's iron ship. Wasn't he sending someone to learn more about it immediately? Before obtaining the exact news, how dare he talk nonsense when discussing matters in the Military Affairs Office. If the rumors are untrue, even if the emperor does not pursue them, it will be a handle for the attack. As for the matter this time, when talking about the iron ship, the emperor said he wanted to chat. There were only a few people sitting there, and he talked about this matter. As a result, the emperor felt as if he was facing a great enemy, his face was serious, and even the combat plan would be changed. Thinking that the chicken cage and Tamsui were not yet open, and there were almost no merchants visiting him, which was far inferior to Tainan. Is the emperor a little bit of a big deal?
Speaking of which, Wang Chengen received Chongzhen's secret letter, the key sentences were still the password. After Wang Chengen read it, he was like being struck by lightning and stayed on the spot. Be good, the shogunate collapsed, the iron ship appeared, cement glass and soap, which was even better than us! I wonder when the era this iron ship was launched, the Yoshino in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895? Or the destroyer in World War II? It would not be a Japanese warship in the 21st century, right? If the aircraft carrier formation of World War II or the warship in the 21st century, there would be no need to play! The sea would completely become the world of the Japanese. If the emperor arrived in Taiwan, he would have to make a big question mark if he could come back or not, and he might have to carry out guerrilla warfare in Taiwan. The last three travelers, one in Beijing, one in Nanjing, and one in Taiwan, made into a "two-strait and three places", which would be great!
Unexpectedly, Chongzhen's joke came true!
But the emperor has already set out to fight, and the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. According to Gong Daming's adventurous character, he must continue to fight in person. Even if he writes to stop him, when the letter arrives in Fuzhou, the emperor has already gone to sea. There is no way, Wang Chengen had to settle for the second best and hand over a batch of arms to Liu Jiyun, including ten 60 rocket launchers and five counterfeit Gatling machine guns, as well as 200 107 high-explosion rockets, so that he could bring 1,000 elite new army soldiers, travel day and night, and quickly send them to Fuzhou. Even if the emperor has already set out to sea, he has to rush to Taiwan to reinforce. These ten rocket launchers and 107 high-explosion rockets are just a batch of sample bombs that have just been tested, and they are fighting.
The troops used ** explosives, and fire cotton were used for launching drugs. These new arms were never expected to be used for the battle against Taiwan. Yes, against the one thousand men in the Netherlands holding scrap copper and iron in their hands, they were not enough for the new army to block the teeth, so why use a knives to kill chickens! Therefore, the new generation of arms can be completely held in their hands as a trump card, and they can be easily driven out without being busy. Besides, ** explosives are not very stable, and the safety has not been fully verified. It is difficult to deal with if something happens. But the situation is different now. What should I keep if I don’t exist? Winning the war is the hard truth. However, Wang Chengen confessed that high-explosive bombs are not a joke, and rockets must not be allowed to approach the emperor.
Chongzhen was indeed a little too impulsive. How could he do whatever he wanted to do like Gong Daming when he became the emperor? He was still obsessed with the adventure of the central government. This was as ridiculous as Emperor Zhengde personally charged and killed the enemy.
Wang Chengen thought about it, what he could do now is almost at its limit. Although the stability problem of digesting glycerol has been basically solved, it is not reassuring. Potassium chlorate explosives are stable, but to make potassium chlorate, electricity must be electrolyzed to prepare chlorine. The electrical team led by Xue Fengzuo made a DC generator, but the power is still not enough, and it is far from being used for electrolysis. Now it seems that the situation is serious, and the development process of each group must be further accelerated. The original situation is like the Bubka monopoly pole vault project, and each competition is refreshed.
Record once, refresh one centimeter at a time, everything is under control. For more than half a year, Wang Chengen thought that the technology of this era was under control, but the current situation is far from that. Even if it speeds up, he can't compete with the existing super-age technology. He is proficient in radio, but the components have to be done step by step. His uncle is useless to think too much, and even the level of equipment and technology the other party now has. Maybe the emperor's choice is correct. Let's talk about it first. If you want to die, you will never die for thousands of years!
Chongzhen had no idea on the ship. Who was the Japanese traveler, what era was there? Should they wear single or group clothes? Anyway, someone must have traveled through time, and they may have brought weapons and platforms to travel together. However, they were unable to obtain further valuable information. On the other hand, they might have a clear understanding of the situation in the Ming Dynasty. Maybe they also have radio facilities, and the virtuality and reality of Nanjing are even in their control.
I can't care so much! When I was bored, Chongzhen still played Go with Wang Youqing to pass the time, and as usual he taught two sons, but as he walked, Chongzhen was a little distracted, so he naturally lost more and won less. Every time he lost, he would associate it, thinking about the two armies fighting, and if you were not good enough, even if you took the lead, you would still lose the game in the end. Such associations are nonsense, but things are often like this in the world. His uncle's is so cruel!
It was November 15th when Chongzhen arrived in Fuzhou, and he immediately went to inspect the newly renovated ship.
From a distance, the hulls of the three new gunships turned gray, which looked particularly unique among the many ships. Fang Yizhi led Chongzhen on board. After boarding the ship, he found that the deck turned black. After stepping on it, he felt a bit like walking on the asphalt road in later generations.
Chongzhen hurriedly asked, "Fang Aiqing, what's going on? Why did the deck turn black?"
Fang Yizhi saw the emperor asking questions and immediately replied:
"Your Majesty, after the deck was laid with wire mesh cement, the navy said that the cement floor was too hard. If the solid bullet hit it, it would jump up high and increase the power of the enemy cannon. For this reason, I remembered the asphalt used in the trial production of iron ships. I took the initiative to collect asphalt in Fujian. This coking by-product is not difficult to collect. I laid a layer of asphalt concrete on the cement. After seeing it, the navy thought it was good and could reduce the lethality of the enemy cannon. Therefore, the deck now turns black. I don't have time to report, please forgive me!" Fang Yizhi has been personally in charge of the renovation of the emperor's gun ship in Fuzhou. When the cement deck hits the solid bullet, it not only jumps high, but also rolls fast, but also brings cement debris to hurt people. After laying a layer of asphalt, it has been greatly improved. This has caused other ships to imitate this method.
Chongzhen smiled and said, "I am very pleased when Fang Aiqing thinks of such a wonderful method. What's your fault?". It's really a good way to lay a layer of asphalt. It's second to deal with solid bombs. Now, you may have to face a stronger opponent. If the high-explosive bomb explodes on the cement board, the lethality of the jumping shrapnel is even more terrifying. With a layer of asphalt concrete buffer, the protective effect will undoubtedly be much better. From this point of view, the talented mind of the Ming Dynasty is absolutely good.
Then I turned around and found that the cabin she lived in was renovated extremely wide, with a conference room outside, all decorated in a luxurious manner. I thought it was beautiful, but it exceeded the meaning of the warship. It was really a waste. But Fang Yizhi was also kind-hearted, and it was already so hard to blame.
Let’s look at the main guns in the front and rear. Well, the 75mm howitzer is indeed a bit shabby. However, it is equipped with a 107 rocket launcher, which can lead to the scruples. It should be noted that now, the enemy is not the Dutch army at the level of the 17th century, at least the navy in the 19th century, and perhaps the navy in the 20th and 21st century. According to common sense, it is wise to avoid its edge. A gentleman does not stand on the side of a dangerous wall, let alone the emperor is the lord of a country. However, Gong Daming, later generations, was an adventurer in his heart, and he was a little more excited.
Since learning this amazing news, the level of secret attack on Taiwan has been improved, and the confidentiality work has been raised to a sensational level. Except for a few people, everyone did not know the new plan to divide the troops to attack Taiwan, and they are still preparing in an orderly manner according to the original plan.
The soldiers were very fast, and Chongzhen did not delay. While sending a vanguard to reconnaissance ship, the army advanced. 120 warships were storming and heading straight for Penghu. One hour after the fleet sailed, the fleet separated in the sea, still heading straight for Penghu, and heading straight for the northern end of Taiwan.
What's ridiculous is that the Ming Dynasty's method of keeping confidentiality is to comfort itself. No matter how Chongzhen keeps secrets, all this cannot be hidden from the "Yamato" that is monitored by radar from a distance. Taiichiro Hashimoto savors the tea ceremony calmly. Mako Kawakiri knelt beside the desk, slightly rolled up the long sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, and his white right hand was fiddling with a bit dazzling tea ceremony. Taiichiro Hashimoto only admired Mako Kawakiri's slender and beautiful fingers. It seemed that this time he came to the Taiwan Strait was just a maritime parade, and he didn't take the Ming fleet seriously at all.
Twenty days ago, Hashimoto received information from Fuzhou that the Ming Dynasty would conquer Taiwan within one month. Surprisingly, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to conquer Taiwan in person.
It's messy, everything is messy!
A few months ago, as the extreme right wing, Taiichiro Hashimoto, led the deep-sea investigation ship "Masaya" and the whaling ship "Okumaru" controlled by the right wing to the Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Islands), and conducted deep-sea exploration and fishing in the Senkaku Islands under the name of deep-sea exploration. Of course, the Chinese understood that this move was called deep-sea exploration and fishing, but in fact it was declared sovereignty. Obviously, it would be easy to wait for any Chinese fishing boats, well, and even warships would come, and a foreseeable confrontation was about to come.
It happened that deep-sea exploration was just a cover, but unexpectedly, a black smoke window under the sea was discovered. The deep-sea camera and related detectors showed that the spray of this black smoke window under the sea was rich in copper, nickel and cobalt. Based on the principle of not leaving empty, the fake show is really done now, and it is fast to catch it first. Otherwise, it might be possible to come next time, the Chinese would have been caught by the Chinese. So they released a diving robot and picked up the black smoke window under the sea. This fishing didn't matter, but it didn't expect it to trigger it.
The volcano at the bottom of the sea suddenly erupted, and I felt a huge shock on the ship, and then the blue light flashed. Everyone didn't have time to react, so they fell into personal information. These bastards didn't know that when they were fishing for the "black smoke window", it was also when Gong Daming was playing with the "spherical lightning". It was impossible to determine whether the "spherical lightning" stimulated the energy of the "black smoke window". Anyway, some energy of the earth resonated with the universe energy, disrupting a little time and space order.
When Hashimoto woke up, except for the abnormal coldness, he found that everything had returned to calm, and the "Okumaru" who came with him was also unscathed. It was just strange that the GPS positioning had failed, the satellite phone was also invalid, and there was no reply to the radio contact with Tokyo. When he was late, he still relied on the sextant and determined that the two ships had floated near Antarctica.
After some discussion, the only way is to go back to Tokyo first.
But before returning to Tokyo, the person in charge of radar scanning thought there was something wrong with the radar. When he looked at it from a distance with a telescope, he found that Tokyo, which was originally full of tall buildings, had become a remote village similar to a township. This is not a radar problem, and it is not a matter of radar at all! What is even more shocking is that the port is full of sailboats. As the 4,000-ton "Masaya" and the 800-ton "Okumaru", of course, it is not much compared to ocean container ships and ocean tankers, but compared with these wooden ships, it is definitely a giant.
To be cautious, the two ships did not rely on the port for the time being. They first put down a motorboat and asked for information to be docked. When the inquiry came back, everyone was shocked and inexplicably discovered that they had actually returned to the Tokugawa Shogunate era.
