Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

As a staunch Communist Party member, Emperor Chongzhen was not only a staunch cannonist, but also a firm supporter of precision strike doctrine.

With such an emperor, the Royal Academy and the Shaofu, which took the emperor's will as the yardstick, inevitably embarked on a frantic journey on these two roads.

It's just that with the passage of time, the Royal Academy and the Shaofu are no longer as distinct as they were at the beginning, but the two lines intersect, emphasizing both precision and firepower.

It is precisely based on the principle of precise strikes that do not waste, the killers of the Suez Canal Squadron chose to aim their shells at the barbarians on the shore to fight the fire as much as possible.

After ten rounds of bombardment passed, the entire port of South Cape Town had been completely declared useless-six warships, each with ten rounds of shells, which was a total of sixty shells.

And these sixty shells are not the previous solid shells, nor are they ordinary flowering shells. The guys from the Royal Academy and the Shaofu are all human spirits. What kind of damage can't be figured out?

Almost 20 years have passed, and Emperor Chongzhen himself does not know what kind of messy things have been added to these shells.

"I wish the disaster of Rong Rong!"

After sighing with compassion, Liu Wenbing continued: "Look, under Zhu Rong, everything is closed, and the port of South Cape Town for these barbarians is over."

Fleet Qianhujiang Navy snorted and said: "You are too careful. If the bombardment is opened, it is estimated that the port of South Cape Town will be completely wiped off the map before this afternoon."

Liu Xiaoyao squinted at Jiang Haijun, and said dryly: "Jiang Qianhu said it is easy, and it is very easy to erase this port, but after erasing, you Qiu Ba of the Suez Squadron will go to work as coolies, and then the port will be erased." Build it?"

Jiang Haijun choked suddenly.

Jiang Haijun didn't pay much attention to the word "Qiu Ba" in Liu Xiaoyao's mouth. After all, Liu Xiaoyao himself is a Jinyiwei. Although he and the navy are not in the same system, they are also on the side of the army. It is quite normal to laugh at each other. up.

It's like the navy laughing at the army as turtles when they have nothing to do, and the army laughing at the navy as turtles. They are all jokes by their own people in the system, and no one will take it seriously.

What Jiang Haijun cared about was another aspect in Liu Xiaoyao's words.

Let the masters of the navy work as coolies, and then build this port?What a joke, how could the men of the Navy go to work as coolies?

Liu Wenbing also laughed and said: "Brother Liu said that the geographical location of the South Cape Town Port is good, and it would be a bit wasteful to destroy it in one fell swoop.

According to Ben Hou, it would be better to station a squadron here in the future, and another one in Sunderland, so that the whole of Europe can be restrained, wouldn't it be beautiful? "

After Liu Xiaoyao nodded, he said, "Your Majesty has a good eye. However, the matter of stationing the fleet at the port must be reported to the military government and then the military government and His Majesty will decide. The most urgent task right now is to rescue the people first." Bar?"

Liu Wenbing shook his head and said, "Brother, you are too eager to do this matter, no good, no good. There are still some things that need to be finished later."

Liu Xiaoyao was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What does Lord Hou mean?"

Liu Wenbing said: "You gave little Ellis the Daming household registration so easily, won't others follow suit in the future? Just take two businessmen from Ming Dynasty and get some random people to kidnap him, Then they will be able to obtain Daming household registration as a matter of course?

You know, if there is a track in front, there is a car behind. As long as you drive this way, it's hard to say what kind of things these people behind will do. "

Liu Xiaoyao was suddenly a little confused: "Yes, what Hou Ye said is that the humble job was not thoughtful. At that time, he only thought about saving the people of Ming Dynasty, and never thought of this joint."

Liu Wenbing chuckled and said: "Brother, you were originally a frail scholar, but you have been working in Jinyiwei since then, even if you have seen a lot of sinister people, you will not put your mind on these treacherous tricks.

Now that the Daming household registration is so sought-after, these barbarians suddenly found out that there is such a good way to get the Daming household registration. Who knows what they will do?So this wind must not rise! "

Liu Xiaoyao bowed slightly and said, "May I ask Lord Hou to enlighten me?"

Liu Wenbing said: "This matter is easy to say. After the person is rescued, you should explain it to that Ellis and others. Because this time the matter is special, so the matter is urgent. It is just to give him a name. head only.

In the future, little Ellis will still have to do what he should do. He still needs to learn the etiquette and language that should be learned, and he should still be able to take the exam, otherwise his Daming household registration will still not be able to officially take effect. "

Liu Xiaoyao immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your guidance!"

Smiling and waving his hands, Liu Wenbing said, "You and I were one family 500 years ago, why bother to be polite about such trivial matters? Brothers, don't be so disrespectful in the future, otherwise wouldn't it be too extravagant?"

Jiang Haijun became impatient when he saw the politeness of the two men, and he simply said, "Master Hou, should we send people ashore to inform the barbarians to release them?"

But Liu Wenbing let out a hey and said, "Now? Even if those savages originally planned to release him, I'm afraid they won't release him now.

Our shelling directly destroyed the entire port. Can they feel at ease?The barbarian fleet just now would not be the naval fleet owned by the barbarians.

If only one fleet is destroyed, the barbarians will feel the pain, but they will not feel the heart-wrenching pain.So we still have to move on, and the next target is Port Sunderland. "

Hearing that Liu Wenbing didn't intend to stop there, Jiang Haijun suddenly laughed: "Then according to what the Marquis means, after we shelled Sunderland Port, the next target is the Port of Glasgow, as well as Edinburgh and Dundee?"

Liu Wenbing took it for granted, smiled and said: "This is natural, since we have provoked the head, then we can't be anticlimactic, right?

His Majesty once said that if you want to beat someone, you have to beat them to death once, otherwise others will not be afraid, let alone have a long memory.

Now this English savage is the best chicken, just slaughtered it for the other monkeys to have a good look at, let them know what the fate of provoking Daming and arresting my people without authorization is like.

Presumably after this incident, no one would have the guts to do what I did to the common people of Ming Dynasty, right? "

After finishing speaking, Liu Wenbing directly said to Liu Xiaoyao: "Brother, you can go and tell those savages in a while, let's go north to Sunderland Port, let them follow if they are willing to follow, and those who don't want to follow can go back now .

As for the matter of little Ellis, it is also covered by my Suez squadron. We do not guarantee whether he has been punished, but as long as that little Ellis is still alive, we can guarantee that they will see him alive. "

Liu Xiaoyao bowed in response, turned around and got out of the cabin, and after finding Cohen, Lansing, and old Ellis and other seventeen gentlemen from the East India Company, he said directly: "The Marquis has given orders just now, and the army will be dispatched soon." To set sail north, the destination is the port of Sunderland.

Mr. Ellis doesn't need to be too anxious about little Ellis. As long as little Ellis is still alive, the South Sea Fleet's Royce Squadron will definitely try their best to rescue him. "

Old Ellis, whose hair was all white, sighed, and said, "I hope those British guys haven't gone so mad as to kill people directly!"

Cohen shook his head and said: "No, those Brits originally wanted to save little Ellis for money, but now they don't have the guts to do so. It's not us who are most worried about Little Ellis' safety, but those Brit."

Lansing also nodded and replied, "That's right, as long as little Ellis is fine, they will have garbled codes in their hands to negotiate with us, so they are even more nervous about little Ellis' safety now."

"The boy, the boy," sighed old Ellis.

Old Ellis was proud in his heart. For one of his sons, Daming dispatched a fleet to seek justice for his son. Even if something happened to little Ellis, this life was worth it!

Chapter 772 The Scariest Possibility

For Liu Wenbing and Jiang Haijun, bombardment was obviously more important than little Ellis' life and death. After bombarding the port of South Cape Town, they immediately set sail and turned to the port of Sunderland.

The naval fleet of the Ming Empire came lightly, stayed behind after the bombardment, and left lightly with a wave of its hand, leaving behind a sea of ​​flames and ruins. Lord Protector Cromwell, who ruled the land to the south, was a little bit eager. No more tears.

Why?Who did you provoke?I have no grievances with the Ming Empire, and the equipment I used was purchased from the Ming Empire through the East India Company. Why did the Ming Empire navy bombard the port of South Cape Town?

Purely from an intuitive point of view, Cromwell felt that there must be something wrong with it, otherwise the navy of the Ming Empire would not have gone to England to bombard the port of Southampton.

But no matter how he thought about it, Cromwell never thought that this matter would have something to do with the two imprisoned Ming businessmen.

As God bears witness, although Cromwell detained little Ellis, he also detained the two Ming people who were with little Ellis, but Cromwell did not embarrass them at all.

After all, Cromwell's idea was to ask for a ransom from the old Ellis, and he didn't really want to kill the little Ellis—he was also counting on buying arms from the East India Company in the future.

As for those two merchants from the Ming Empire, who let them mix with little Ellis?It's bad luck for them, they were not my target from the beginning.

Because Cromwell thought about it for a moment, there were only two merchants, and it was impossible for him to pay a large ransom for the two merchants, not to mention that he was unwilling to provoke the Ming Empire.

So Cromwell's plan was to wait for old Ellis to pay the ransom, and then release little Ellis together with the two Ming businessmen.
