Chapter 385 The Ming Dynasty Navy



The next day, at dawn.

Yesterday's corpses and shipwrecks have been swallowed up by this vast and boundless sea.

But the sea was not empty at this moment; instead, there was a fleet of ships of astonishing size.

There were hundreds of ships, and they came in many different types.

Based on size, there are light eagle boats, chain boats, mother-and-child boats, fire dragon boats, small Cangshan boats, wheeled boats, and medium-sized Haicang boats, etc.

Of course, the most prominent among these ships is the Fujian ship, which is the largest in size!

The ship was equipped with various powerful weapons, including general cannons, thousand-pound breech-loading cannons, bowl-shaped cannons, and thunder cannons, which were used for long-range attacks.

For close combat, the ship was naturally equipped with gunpowder crossbows, rockets, fire bricks, fireballs, and the like.

Of course, there are also the numerous musket-wielding soldiers who will fire muskets in close combat, and the crossbowmen who are responsible for firing fire arrows!

On other warships, sailors also used firearms to defeat the enemy in naval battles.

Besides exchanging for these warships, Qin Ze also naturally exchanged for some famous generals!

Zheng He was a man whose life's work was dedicated to "establishing friendly relations with Western countries and creating a favorable international environment."

Of course, when absolutely necessary, he would also use his powerful armed forces to warn those warlike foreign nations.

Advise them to follow the proper etiquette and behave appropriately, and not to overstep their bounds. Do not bully the weak or oppress the few.

If they refused to comply, Zheng He would undoubtedly use force to intimidate them, thus ensuring that no one would dare disobey his orders.

It is evident that Zheng He made a tremendous contribution to peace in the past.

After all, those countries with fierce customs, who revered powerful people and were fond of raiding their neighboring territories, have basically ceased hostilities.

Besides Zheng He, there was also Yu Dayou, who was once known as one of the "Dragon and Tiger" alongside Qi Jiguang.

Although the Yu Family Army he created was not as famous as the Qi Family Army, it was still a force that made Japanese pirates tremble with fear. Some Japanese pirates would even be scared away when they saw the Yu Family Army!

In addition, Qin Ze also exchanged for the famous general Chen Lin, whose command of the Battle of Noryang was a naval annihilation battle with far-reaching influence.

This massive battle affected three countries!

One country enjoyed peace for centuries afterward, another was able to recover, while the remaining one... remained stagnant for centuries, never daring to harbor any further ambitions.

At that moment, with a melodious horn call, the large fleet gradually sailed away from the port.

But on the shore, countless people had gathered, including the soldiers and generals who had been left behind, as well as some civilians.

People were bidding farewell to the fleet as it embarked on its journey, and deafening shouts echoed continuously from the shore.

Most people were saying, "Have a safe journey and return home soon."

Of course, there were also many people whose faces were flushed red, veins bulging on their necks, and who were shouting angrily at the top of their lungs:

"Kill them! Kill them!!!"

"annihilate these Japanese pirates!"

"Cut the weeds at the root! Prevent future troubles!!!"

"Let them taste the might of our Yan Kingdom!"

"It's time to settle the scores of grievances that have lasted for thousands of years!"

A deafening roar erupted from the people, a testament to the fury of the Yan Kingdom!

Those who bully me will be repaid a hundredfold!

On the main ship, Qin Ze stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

In fact, this is the first time since I was born here that I have left the country and embarked on a journey to another country.

There are still many things to do on this trip abroad.

The first priority, of course, is to eliminate Fusang, for without destroying it, the prestige of Yan Kingdom cannot be established.

From the moment he stepped out of the country, Qin Ze knew that what he had to do was to make Yan a powerful force, so that potential enemy countries would not dare to act rashly.

The most direct manifestation of a nation's strength is its powerful military!

Today, Qin Ze has named this main ship "Yanhuang"!

Today, the Chinese people set sail overseas, stepping out of the country and embarking on the road to becoming a powerful nation!

——

The continent of Leon.

The Hungarian "Sea Lion" fleet, which departed from Port-Cérad, has been at sea for more than ten days.

Located on the same continent, the Modenik Kingdom, whose national strength was weaker than that of the Hunnic Kingdom, also sent a fleet. They set off from their port of Bicana. Compared to the Hunnic Kingdom's Sea Lion Fleet, which consisted of more than a hundred warships, the Modenik fleet consisted of more than sixty warships.

But this trip to accomplish great things is for the purpose of "jointly making a great undertaking"!

Undoubtedly, given this opportunity, no one would want to miss out on a share. To this end, King Feska II of Modenik mobilized the navy and traveled thousands of miles to launch a major operation.

Meanwhile, on the Hungarian Sea Lion Fleet, which was sailing at sea, Marshal Augut stood on the deck looking at the sea. He was over forty years old, tall and upright, and had an imposing presence.

"This time we're going to do something big, those sea cucumbers will also get involved."

"Heh, these guys... are weak and ineffective in battle. If they dare to put on airs in front of us this time... we'll have to teach them a lesson."

After Augustus finished speaking, the deputy general standing to the side said in a deep voice, "Marshal, but... according to the alliance, I'm afraid we can't have a conflict with them, after all, the people from the Sasir Kingdom are also present."

As soon as he finished speaking, Augustus laughed.

"I understand, of course, but the premise is that I hope these sea cucumbers can see themselves clearly and not think that just because they have an alliance and the Kingdom of Sa-ri are there, they dare to sit on equal footing with us."

"What kind of combat power does their so-called 'Rose' fleet have? Haha."

"We eat the meat, and he just drinks some soup on the side!"

The lieutenant nodded: "The Marshal is right!"

Meanwhile, the Sunlut, whom Augustus called "sea cucumbers," also dispatched a fleet to Dakan.

Upon receiving news from Sir Morley that he had returned from Dakan, King Figues III immediately began mobilizing his troops, who then set sail from the port of Portagne.

This is a luxurious fleet known as the "Rose," with a number of ships comparable to those of the Hunnic Empire, but what sets it apart is the number of soldiers on board.

In fact, the Huns have always looked down on the Shenglu people. In Hunnic countries, they call the Shenglu people "sea cucumbers".

Sea cucumber is just a common name; it is actually a type of sea cucumber with a dark black body and many thorns. Just by looking at it, people are afraid to touch it, but if you actually grab it, you will find that it is very soft and has no attack power.

Many years ago, the Kingdom of Hunli and the Kingdom of Shenglu fought several wars. Although the two countries have not fought each other in recent years, the older generation of Hunli people still passed down the nickname "sea cucumber".

At this moment, Marshal Lucat, commander of the Rose Fleet of the Kingdom of Shenglu, was also on the deck. He was in his thirties, with fair skin and handsome features, and was lazily sunbathing in a chair.

A warm sea breeze blew by, and Lucat smiled slightly, saying, "Leto, do you know? I've heard that Queen Isabella is a very beautiful woman."
