Some people say that human history is a history of war; this sentence may be biased, but it makes sense. Whenever there is a major change in society, the devil of war will come to the door.
Perhaps it is "only people recruit".
When Shang Kingdom negotiated with Zhao Guo on behalf of Crown Prince Zhao Ming, Zhong Shuling Ji Buxian and others, and when Li Xian arranged for someone to be responsible for the supply of arms to the Dragon Palace and the Demon Race, Yingzhou Dongfang had two large-scale wars in progress.
In the north, Xiao Guo attacked Cai Guo. Although the Kingdom of Shang issued a notice, Xiao Guo’s situation was already on the verge of being issued.
In fact, Xiao Guo and Xiao Liming were also helpless. Xiao Guo was born bad and lacked development soil; now it seems that only Cai Guo can be bullied.
Since there was no choice, even if the Shang Kingdom issued a notice, and even Xiao Liming knew what it meant to not occupy, but the war still did not stop.
Going south again is the battlefield between Wu and Vietnam! The war between Wu and Yue was originally suspended due to the sudden emergence of the Shang Kingdom, but now it seems to be restarted because of the indirect influence of the Shang Kingdom.
But the renewed war is even more tragic. While Xiao Guo and Cai Guo were still preparing for war, Wu Yue and the two countries were already in full swing.
As Wu Guo’s fleet arrived first, and Vietnam knew that his fleet was about to return, the Vietnamese began to prepare for the general attack. Today, although the two sides have not launched a general offensive, the tension has been depressed. The two countries went up to the emperor, the civil and military officials, and down to the people, all felt heavy pressure, and seemed to have some difficulty breathing.
The grief that shone over Wu and Yue's two countries became more and more intense. The grief was so strong that many people even became uneasy or even caught fire when practicing.
Today, in order to inspire the morale and popular spirit of Wu Guo, Emperor Wu Guo disclosed one thing-this matter is naturally the return of the four warships led by Wu Daqian!
As mentioned earlier, because there were too few people, Wu Daqian could not fully exert the combat capabilities of the warship and could not enter Wujiang. He had to change his way back to Jinjiang, and then return to Wugu Emperor Gusu City through Jinjiang.
Therefore, the Emperor Wu Guo simply made this matter public and let everyone in Gusu City watch it freely. At noon, when the fleet reached the imperial capital reluctantly along the not wide river, everyone was stunned.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the emperor; although I have seen the so-called giant ship artillery through jade jade and other means before; but after seeing it with my own eyes, I still feel extremely shocked.
It seemed that the four hills made of steel floated from the surface of the water, and the waves smashed at the bow of the ship, unable to shake the ship's identity. Compared with the giant ship, Wu Daqian and others standing on the bow of the ship are like ants on the hot pot, which is really negligible.
The long artillery stood high, and the dark muzzle made people chill.
The giant ship approached the shore. The unprepared river bank was washed away by the rolled up water of twenty or thirty meters, and many people were even drawn into the water. Fortunately, there are many masters of on-site practice, and everyone has the right to be cheered as an alternative.
On the high platform, a small child boy cheered excitedly: "Father and Emperor, the ship is so big. The four big ships are bigger than the palace!"
Emperor Wu Guo did not cheer, but looked at the giant ship in front of him, but felt the fear. What is the existence of a merchant kingdom that can build such a huge ship and sell it everywhere?
Although the prince had returned and brought back the jade jade, at this moment, Emperor Wu Guo had an idea-go to the Shang Kingdom to see for himself! Look at this miracle-like country.
The four warships finally docked on the shore. The four connected warships, like the Great Wall of Steel, guarded the imperial capital; without hundreds of people cheering, they seemed to see a strong and indestructible Wu Kingdom!
At this moment, Ouyang Jin, the great division of Wu Guotai, said next to him, "Your Majesty, the opportunity is rare. Perhaps let the warship salvo once, the effect will be better.
The little prince just cheered immediately, "Father and emperor, I want to see, I want to see."
The Emperor Wu Guo looked at the cheering little prince and smiled kindly. "Okay, let's take a look. The order will let Wu Daqian shoot in one shot. Um... send someone to ask about the situation first."
Soon, the messenger returned and reported: "Your Majesty, Wu Shuai said that the artillery has three volleys with the best effect; in addition, the artillery has a range of up to 50 to 70 miles and an attack range of about 4 to 6 miles. The explosive power can be Harm to the master of infanthood."
"This is so powerful? Wujiang, our border with Vietnam, is only 20 miles at its widest point! Is this... is it too exaggerated?" Emperor Wu Guo's eyes widened a lot.
Well, no one answered, everyone believes that Wu Daqian will not talk nonsense; and His Majesty the Emperor, just expressed emotion with the announcement.
The news of the volley spread quickly, and the Royal Bodyguard and Wu Daqian demarcated the bombardment area together.
After the crowd anxiously waited for half an hour, the four warships completed three earth-shattering volleys. One by one, three shots in less than ten breaths, the shells flew at nearly five times the speed of sound, traversed more than 50 miles with a majestic momentum, and hit a mound built by temporary spells.
A tremendous explosion sounded, yellow smoke was rising into the sky, and a cloud of orange and red mushrooms rose, bringing a breath of destruction.
Less than ten miles away, the emperor of the Wu Kingdom witnessed this volley, the earth was overturned, the location of the artillery shell attack, the area around a hundred feet, a scene of doomsday disaster.
The little prince, who was excited just now and wanted to see the cannon, was scared crying.
Emperor Wu Guo held his little son and stared at the scene in front of him for a while. I finally made up my mind: "We will fully support Wu Daqian in building the navy and let the navy form combat power as soon as possible! In addition, we will strengthen research on arms.
Also, see if you can send messengers to the Shang Kingdom again to discuss further cooperation! No matter how much the price is paid, as long as it is reasonable and within the tolerance range, I want to get a full set of manufacturing technology for this warship! "
However, the dream is always fragile. When Emperor Wu Guo learned the prices of these four warships, he finally sighed fiercely. This time I was able to buy four warships, or the Kingdom of Shang gave a lot of discounts in the face of Wu Daqian.
Wu Daqian donated the "Great Bluestone Island in a radius of fifty miles" to the Shang Kingdom, which made the Shang Kingdom have a face to Wu Daqian. However, during the war between the Kingdom of Shang Dynasty and the State of Qi, Wu Guo walked away and completely destroyed this little tacit understanding between the two countries.
After learning the news, Emperor Wu Guo sighed for a long time. At the same time, I was a bit disappointed with the prime minister's turmeric and the prince. Such a big right and wrong, even if I am not sure, it is really... I have no power to say anything!
Perhaps the only good news is that Wu Daqian's military division Dong Yuan actually conquered part of the oil refining technology. Through distillation and cooling, a small amount of fuel oil can be produced temporarily; fuel oil may not be much, but it is enough to meet the military needs of Wu Guo temporarily.
Although it is temporarily impossible to deal with the remnant soul, evil spirit, demon gas, etc. mixed in oil, distillation of such oil is very dangerous, but it can finally provide fuel for the country.
However, within 24 hours of the good news, news came from the seaside. The soldiers sent to the seaside to investigate and found the fleet returning from the north in the more northern waters. The fleet is huge! Warships and merchant ships, like a moving wave of steel, rolled to the south.
The most important thing is that the speed is very fast! It is expected to cross the estuary of Jinjiang in one day.
For the first time, this incident alarmed Wu Guochaoye. Wu Daqian directly asked the frontline staff: "What kind of flags are there? What is the speed? What is the length? How many narrow and long warships? How many commercial ships are bloated?"
Questions were asked one after another. The generals on the front line were also excellent, and even the answers were flowing smoothly. Gradually, Wu Daqian figured out the situation on the beach.
"Your Majesty, this should be the case. This time the fleet coming from the north should be the common fleet of the Yue Kingdom and the Shang Kingdom. Among them, most of them are merchant ships, which are merchant ships from the Shang Kingdom.
But in this, there are also warships of Vietnam, which may include three 10,000-ton warships and ten 5,000-ton warships. And the speed of these warships is likely to be twice as fast as our warships!
The minister was not very clear about the price paid by Vietnam to get these 13 warships, but they should never be allowed to return.
We should stop halfway! "
Emperor Wu Guo's eyes sparkled, "How to intercept?"
