"Mine, what is water mine?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi and looked confused.

"Or, you ask someone to take it and let me see it!"

Zhang Jingyi was so scared that her face turned green: "No, no, this thing... is very dangerous and something is going to happen."

The water mine is actually a by-product of yellow gunpowder.

The power of yellow gunpowder is too great. If these things are placed in a huge iron lump sealed, they will be extremely powerless.

Zhang Jingyi actually had never done an experiment himself. He just made some mines based on the characteristics of yellow gunpowder. He would not be foolish to let someone demonstrate it in the Forbidden City or the West Garden. The thing was too large and if it exploded, it would be a place where there would be no burial.

Emperor Aoki felt strange: "How to cause fire underwater?"

"This... do your Majesty remember the kite experiment I did?"

"Kite experiment?"

"Electricity." Zhang Jing said: "Arranging copper wires, guiding current into the completely sealed mine, detonating gunpowder. Isn't this lightning... just fire?"

Emperor Tianqi was shocked: "You still want to attract thunder from the sky?"

"In fact, there is no need to draw thunder from the sky, you can also make electricity." Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty seems to have never seen the latest issue of 100,000 whys."

Emperor Aoki was speechless for a moment.

In fact, the electricity that Zhang Jing mentioned in his mouth was just a fuse, and it didn't require too much current. It was nothing more than just getting an original battery.

The original battery is actually a simple matter. Those who know a little about the principle can do it.

Using wires to induce fires has great benefits. On the one hand, it can ensure the sealing of the mines inside; on the other hand, it can ensure that the ignition can be ignited underwater.

Emperor Tianqi held his chin and said with suspicion: "Is this okay? I have never heard of it being able to explode without ignition! What's the power? That's a giant ship. If it's an ordinary gunpowder, it may not be able to move them at all. This time, I've tried my best and threw away my face. If there is a mistake..."

Zhang Jingyi swears: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it is a shame for the Netherlands to provoke Your Majesty. I must avenge my previous shame."

Emperor Aoki was a little relieved.

However, the officials were obviously worried.

But the emperor is getting more and more out of control.

The next day, Emperor Tianqi set off and arrived directly to Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei has gradually become prosperous due to sea trade.

In the Dagukou area, a new pier is even built here for sea ship docking.

But... it has become unusual here these days.

At the bay, huge sailboats docked.

The huge hull was dark, and although the sails had already descended, the huge masts were still shocking.

Especially in the hull, there are countless muzzles, densely packed.

Emperor Apocalypse directly placed his horse here, and the tens of thousands of troops that accompanied him were the teaching team.

Obviously, Emperor Tianqi was no longer at ease with the Beijing camp.

Weimarang came here and saw the ship, and became more energetic.

It seemed as if he had a backer all of a sudden.

So he went to Emperor Apocalypse to meet Emperor Apocalypse, and then presented an exquisite monocular telescope and said, "This is a telescope. With this object, Your Majesty can see the situation on the sea from here."

Emperor Tianqi played with this and couldn't help but say, "Folang Jiren has also offered this item, and it is said that the price is very expensive, right?"

"Yes." Weimarang smiled and said, "This is carefully polished by Japanese craftsmen, and it is better than the telescope of the Ferlang Jiman."

Emperor Tianqi just handed the telescope to Wei Zhongxian's hands and said, "I am here, but I saw your ship. I just don't know what other tricks do you have?"

"We can organize a military parade, I wonder if your Majesty is interested."

"parade?"

"It is to let our soldiers go ashore and train them to show His Majesty. In addition, our ships will also set off firecrackers at sea, in the words of the Ming Dynasty, to help with momentum."

Emperor Tianqi looked at him with a smile, of course he knew what he meant, but he calmly said: "Yes, since you want to show me, how can I miss it?"

After pausing, he said again: "At noon tomorrow, let your team of soldiers ashore, no more than two hundred people.

Seeing that Weimalang had achieved his goal, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly saluted Emperor Tianqi.

After saying that, he walked out of the tent excitedly and then returned to his tent.

At this time, several Dutch people had been waiting anxiously here for a long time.

The leader is the director of the Bank of Netherlands, named William!

William said with concern: "Did the Emperor of Ming Dynasty agree?"

"Agree." Weimarang said proudly: "It's time for them to see the power of our Netherlands."

Weimarang seemed very excited. He felt that he was necessary to let the Emperor of Ming know the power of the gunboats and the soldiers of the East India Company of the Netherlands.

Only in this way can the Emperor of Ming Dynasty know that the Dutch people had the strength to easily take over Tianjin Wei, and only in this way can the Ming Dynasty sign a city alliance.

William nodded and said, "This is how the Indians were compromised. In my opinion, the Ming Dynasty is another India."

Weimarang immediately called a servant and ordered: "Please get on the ship, bring my handwritten letter, tell them that a team of soldiers will be sent ashore tomorrow, and two hundred people will be enough. In addition, artillery training will be carried out at noon tomorrow, and the target..."

Weimarang paused, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Southeast."

After hearing this, William was shocked: "Your Excellency, aren't you worried about it in this direction..."

Weimarang had a blank expression on his face, showing a look of Zhizhu holding it: "If they don't let them see it, these people don't know how powerful they are."

After hearing this, William regained his confidence.

Dawn the next day.

A group of people arrived at the dock quietly, and then Li Dingguo let out a long sigh, and then he began to take off his clothes.

Immediately afterwards, black balls as big as baskets were thrown into the water first. In order to give the balls a certain amount of buoyancy, another wooden rack was built.

After stripping the thirteen people led by Li Dingguo, they began to enter the water.

It was dawn, and the sky was dark, and the bay at night was pitch black, and you could only see the gunships moored not far away emitting a glimmer of light.

Li Dingguo and others then unleashed a small boat first, and the big iron balls were hung on the boat. Eleven people began to paddle and row towards the large ship anchored in the bay.

The dozen people took a full half hour to reach the predetermined location.

At this time, they were already very close to the gunboat.

Looking at the big ship from here, Li Dingguo suddenly felt that he could not say anything.

"This Dutchman...is not a barbarian, such a ship...tsk tsk..."

"Okay, stop talking, let's go into the water."

So Li Dingguo took the lead, and he tied a rope on his body first, and his companions pulled the other end of the rope, and then Li Dingguo went into the water, dragged the huge iron ball, and began to sink to the bottom of the sea.

The Netherlands on the ship were completely unaware of this.

In fact, in this era, not to mention night, even during the day, I am afraid that no one will notice it.

Fortunately, the sea water had buoyancy. Otherwise, this iron ball with a capacity of 100 kilograms would never be able to be dragged. In the sea, Li Dingguo dragged it hard. He held his breath and there were a few sheepskin seeds hanging beside him. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out the bulging sheepskin seeds and pointed them at his mouth, and took a few hard breaths.

But...even so, it's still difficult.

When he dragged the iron lump to the bottom of the ship, he quickly found the anchor rope.

The big ship was moored and needed to put down the anchor, so there was a huge cable that penetrated into the seabed. The ships were sharp bottoms and smooth, so there was no place to be fixed.

But the anchor rope is different. Here we are already close to the big ship, so we only need to wrap the large iron ball wrapped by the mesh rope around the anchor rope and start to fix it.

Finally, Li Dingguo started wiring and finally came out of the sea.

Everyone began to pull him onto the boat, and several others who went into the water and arranged the big iron balls also boarded the ship.

Immediately afterwards, everyone began to leave with the ship carefully, while carefully laying copper wires in the water.

Dawn passed.

The sea was rising.

Immediately afterwards, small boats finally came down from the gunboat, and a group of Dutch soldiers began to land.

Here, a high platform has been built.

Emperor Tianqi looked up to the high platform and took his ministers from here.

Of course, for safety, the platform is far away from the sea, and Zhang Jingyi will never allow the emperor to be under the guns opposite.

On the beach, teams of Dutch soldiers began to assemble.

These people are neatly dressed, with muskets and swords hanging around their waists, all of them looking energetic.

The faces of all officials were already blue.

What a shame and humiliation.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty actually watched these Dutch people show their power.

So much so that Sun Chengzong looked at Zhang Jingyi’s eyes strange.

Zhang Jingyi's actions at this time were quite like Wang Zhen, the eunuch who fooled Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty.

Weimarang was already full of joy.

He stood on the side of Emperor Apocalypse and was introducing the customs and customs of the Netherlands and the overview of the Netherlands army: "For an army like this, we have 100,000 people, and the real powerful one is not the Netherlands army, but our ships. We are known as the sea coachman in Europe, and there are so many sea ships registered under the name of the Netherlands. Your Majesty, we Netherlands have a strong business atmosphere. We have a proverb: The reason why the Netherlands is still the Netherlands is because our ancestors took good care of their own business."

"Look, we have dozens of gunboats like that on the sea, and there is no fleet in the world that can defeat us."
