Chapter 111

"Although they robbed at sea in Kaohsiung and robbed a lot of gold and silver, who would bring copper to the ship? Now we have so much copper, which just solves their problem, which can't be solved by any amount of money."

Yang Chendong's explanation and answer was to let Qiao Yin understand. At that moment, she said happily, "so, we still made money this time?"

"Of course it's earned?" Yang Chendong nodded with a smile, thinking that if it weren't for Shi Pu, they couldn't see the importance of copper. I'm afraid they wouldn't succeed so easily this time.

Shipu went to Yangjiazhuang, and then shipped a lot of copper in exchange for a ready-made fireplace. For a time, it alleviated the needs of officials for this thing, won the praise of officials, and made Yang Chendong's reputation among officials much better.

Before that, some officials had installed fireplaces in advance, such as Yang's immediate relatives and Hu's house.

In the Hu mansion, no matter how cold it is outside, it is like spring all the year round. All this naturally benefits from the installation of the furnace wall.

"We are all blessed by the young lady?" in the bedroom, Xiaoqing, still dressed in summer clothes, smiled and looked at the young lady Hu Yan dressed in front of the dressing table. Her eyes narrowed into a seam.

"Xiaoqing asks for a fight." listening to the maid making fun of herself, Hu Yan turned and raised her arm.

Xiaoqing jumped to the distance long ago, and then said with a smile on her face, "Miss, do you not recognize it? Look at what the ministers have not installed on the wall. Some very valuable public houses have to wait in line, but nothing has happened to our Hu Fu. We should all be well in safety. There are also mirrors, perfume and glass on the windows of the ladies' houses. What does dongshuai mean? Everyone in the capital can see it. Will miss still not know? "

Knowing that she couldn't reach Xiaoqing, Hu Yan simply returned to her chair, shook her long hair that hadn't been taken care of and said, "you all know, but why didn't he propose marriage? It's the new year's day soon, and I'll be seventeen."

"Ah! It's shameless for miss to expect someone to propose marriage." Xiaoqing came over again after hearing this.

"Well, Xiaoqing, let's get down to business with you? You said he was so kind to me that the whole family saw it, but why didn't he propose marriage? What was he waiting for?" Hu Yan said with a wry smile. Many 16-year-old girls have been married. But Yang Chendong didn't even do anything about proposing marriage, which made her a little confused.

"I don't know." as soon as she talked about business, Xiaoqing also recovered her serious look and shook her head. But she soon nodded and said, "we don't know we can ask someone. Isn't miss often in contact with elder sister Yang? It's better to find an opportunity to ask and let her ask her brother. It won't hurt."

"HMM." Hu Yan nodded and thought Xiaoqing's idea was good. She began to think about when to go to the palace and meet Yang Fei, the eldest sister of the Yang family.

......

In 1449, in January of the 14th year of orthodoxy.

With the unanimous consent of Kaohsiung, Leng song and a group of officers, instructors and political teachers, the attack on Lukang began immediately.

It took two months to get a clear picture of the situation in Lukang and Taichung. It happened that the shipyard had developed a new generation of Sea Express and officially launched it for trial voyage, which proved its advantages and disadvantages. When the Navy and the army jointly announced that they would attack Lukang in the early morning of tomorrow, occupy it by sea and land, and then step down.

In order to ensure the success of this operation and reduce casualties and losses on our side, new No. 1, new No. 2 and new No. 3 were used as vanguard ships in this battle, led by Kaohsiung personally (there were four new ships, new No. 4 went to South America and North America to look for rubber trees, accompanied by 100 large and small ships) Later, there were hundreds of other types of ships, carrying three regular companies of the Navy and 2000 naval auxiliaries.

Once it appears, it will appear in Lugang with a lightning trend and take the other party by surprise.

On land, Leng song led his own team and used three regular army companies and 2000 army auxiliaries to help. After taking the land position in Lukang, he went straight to Taichung and occupied most of xiaoryukyu island.

Before that, we had three exercises together and properly solved the possible problems. With full confidence, a total of 4600 soldiers had a good rest after dinner for two hours. The army pulled out and approached Lukang quietly.

Above the sea, the moonlight is sparkling, and the floating water waves are like a mirror divided into hundreds of sections, reflecting huge shadows.

The new No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 ships just developed by the shipyard are large in scale, but the speed is fast. They vaguely appear in the sea area 20 miles away from Lugang. Behind them, there are hundreds of horse ships, grain ships, seat ships and war ships of all kinds.

Kaohsiung, who led the command team, personally stood in the command cabin of the new No. 1 ship. When he looked up, a dark cloud appeared and blocked the bright moonlight. He issued a clear and loud command, "let's go!"

Command Zhengda, the ship sounded the sound of engine start.

At that time, ships were powered by people, in accordance with the law of sailing in the wind and rowing in the absence of wind. The biggest difference between the new ships and them is that they have internal combustion engines (usually diesel engines), which are connected by shafting and rotate with propellers. The rotating propeller stirs the water. The water gives a reaction force, which is transmitted to the hull through the shaft and the diesel engine to push the hull forward.

In this way, it can not only save a lot of human and material resources, but also be extremely fast. It is only 20 miles away. It only took less than a quarter of an hour to appear in Lukang. It never occurred to me that someone would come from the sea to find trouble. At the moment, the door there is wide open, just like an undefended night city.

The warships belonging to the first Shang Dynasty in Lugang woke up when the new No. 1, new No. 2 and new No. 3 ships were arranged in a straight line and all the 90 type 60mm mortars on board were ready to fire.

In the dark, I could not see how many enemy ships came, but I immediately found the enemy, and the more than 300 warships moored in the port would fight back. When the alarm sounded, countless crew members ran out of the army camp on land. It seemed that they wanted to get on board to meet the enemy.

In the harbor, there are more than ten first Shang Dynasty warships stationed all year round, which have begun to prepare to turn to meet the enemy.

"Fight! Anyone who dares to fight back will sink." in the command cabin, Kaohsiung issued an order, staring closely at all the wind and grass on Lukang.

"Boom! Boom!" with the typing order, the 90 guns on the new No. 1, new No. 2 and new No. 3 ship began to blast at the moving enemy ship. The powerful fire light is like the brightest pilot light in the night, which lights up half of Lukang in an instant.

As the fire lit up, several moving first Shang Dynasty warships were hit and then destroyed.

Powerful modern artillery, attack power was unimaginable at that time. No matter what kind of ship it is, it will fall apart immediately after being shot. Some people just shout, and there is no resistance at all.

After three rounds in a row, the accurate strike force of the first Shang Dynasty warships that move like snails is a fixed target. All they can do seems to be to become the target of attack and stop there to be beaten passively.

The flames burst into the sky, and the sound of people shouting and shouting spread out, making the sailors who wanted to get on board from the land stop their steps one by one in fear. "Who's coming? How can they have such powerful firearms? If they rush to the ship at this time, what's the difference between killing?"

Sailors dare not act rashly. After all, no one is a fool. He knows he will die and wants to rush up. No one does such a thing.

In the command cabin of the new No. 1, Kaohsiung is looking at the scene with complacency. He is not issuing an order for shelling. He is also acting completely according to Yang Chendong's order. There are too many Han people on xiaoryukyu island. If you can't kill your own people, don't kill them.

In addition, the attack of nine shells was enough to make the other party disorderly. Most of his raid task had been completed. Next, he only waited for the subsequent warships to follow up, and then it was time for the army to press on and seize the ships and prisoners.

Taking advantage of the slow speed of the rear ship, Kaohsiung was far from enough space to catch up. Kaohsiung turned sideways, looked at Yu Qian and Shen you who were staring at a pair of eyes and had an incredible expression on their faces, and said, "gentlemen, in your opinion, how strong is our navy?"

"Awesome! Unbelievable, it's just unbelievable. Who can compete with the cannon!" Shen you looked surprised and sighed.

It was Yu Qian, an important and direct minister recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty, who once turned the history of the Ming Dynasty on his own. At this moment, he did not have a calm look. He also stared at the scene with big eyes.

In fact, Yu Qian saw too many things that could surprise him.

Since he was captured and transported to the Naked City, he felt that everything he saw seemed to be in a dream. The spacious concrete road, neat streets, lush shade forests, ruddy people and spiritual outlook in the city have always maintained a rising new army. All these are things he dare not even dream of.
