Yang Shanlu, the British land boundary.
Because the landing site he chose was very suitable, only two days later, Charles I's reply arrived... As England, whose national power is booming at this time, he certainly rejected this'unreasonable' request! Even in his opinion, this request is very absurd!
Although the letter did not describe the size of the Eastern Expeditionary Force that came this time, in the view of Charles I, the transoceanic expedition was so difficult, so at most it was just like him, sending an expedition fleet, and it was already two or three thousand people. The limit is too high, so now with this little man, I want him to admit his mistake? Still need to compensate ten million taels of silver? Isn't this a dream? Do civilized people and backward nations still need to communicate on an equal footing
But after getting Charles I’s reply, Yang Shanlu smiled... Haha, sure enough, if you don’t die, you won’t die! In other words, this is exactly what he was looking forward to! (Yang Shanlu deliberately confused the number of expeditionary forces in the letter)
Although they are the teachers of the king, they are doing dignified things! And now, since this Charles I refused to admit his mistake, and didn't know to repent even with the knife rest on his neck, it was time for him to taste the righteous anger!
"Send my order! The soldiers are sent to London!"
"Yes!"
Under Yang Shanlu's education, the Xuanjia army has long been full of resentment for this shameless country! So now after getting the order, start acting immediately!
So next, the entire Great China Fleet pulled out its anchor and sailed along the North Sea into the Thames, ready to head towards London!
Of course, this is the base camp of the British/Guardians after all. When entering the Thames, the first naval battle occurred after the Great China Fleet arrived in Europe.
(When I was in Beihai before, it was regarded as the high seas, he couldn't control you, but now...)
The place where the North Sea connects with the Thames is an important port in England. It is full of various merchant ships, including various Galen ships of the British fleet. They are all anchored here.
And now suddenly I saw a fleet of foreign flags sailing into the Thames, of course it was coming to inquire... That is to say, after a few nautical miles, he sent a semaphore to inquire, but in the face of such inquiries, Yang Shanlu responded It's an armored cannon!
With the sudden roar of artillery, Yang Shanlu's first battle in Europe began!
To say that this place deserves to be the stronghold of the British, there are hundreds of warships of all kinds, and these ships are equipped with Western artillery, including well-trained British gunners. In fairness, the performance of these Western artillery surpasses ordinary Daming artillery (Franchi and the like), but what about the new artillery rivals that Yang Shanlu has painstakingly developed
So after the battle started, the British on the ship were dumbfounded! Even such a one-sided battle made these British/national guys think it was the end! Many people can't help but start to make a cross, praying for God's blessing!
Then it’s no wonder that the British/National Guys who have always been confident have lost their confidence completely... because what did they see? First of all, it was not that kind of wooden boat that was fighting them! It's a big steel ship they have never seen before! And there are still 20 ships!
In the original history, the iron ship would not appear until more than a hundred years later, but now... Yang Shanlu opened the eyes of these British/land turtles in advance!
From another point of view, the ships of the fleet are very precious. Yang Shanlu didn't want to suffer any damage, so as soon as the battle broke out, he showed the 20 giant steel ships! Take these twenty giant steel ships as pioneers! Start the first battle to reach Europe!
But Yang Shanlu is cool, but the British/National Guy is miserable... So such a battle...
On the wide Thames (the widest point of the Thames is 29 kilometers, which is very wide), even though the British were shocked, they all fired at these giant steel ships like crazy! Because they knew that in front of this hostile fleet, they would never be allowed to sail into the Thames! Don't let them intimidate London!
But is it useful? Although the British/national gunners on the ship fired their guns like crazy, they even wanted to put themselves into the gun tube and fired out, but is it useful
Except that the swarming shells can fall into the Thames, splashing one after another huge waves, the other is useless! (The artillery of this era does not have any auxiliary sighting tools such as gun mirrors. Even the Xuanjia Army has just developed.)
Therefore, although the British/domestic turtles fired their guns at an alarming rate (more than half of the British/national warships were parked here), the hit rate was very poor, and even if some shells hit these steel ships, they just scratched them. It's just itching...
Except for leaving a white spot on the hull, nothing else... Can the hull made of steel be penetrated by these backward solid bullets
"God, is this a fleet sailing out of hell?" Seeing this result, the British/National Guys are going crazy! The British Empire, which has been promoted to a maritime military power, has nothing to do with these invaders! What they launched was actually a Don Quixote attack!
But looking back at the Great China Fleet, it's different! This time the fleet is out, not to mention those giant steel ships, even other modified Galen ships are equipped with all new artillery! And it's the kind with auxiliary sighting tools such as gun mirrors! So needless to say the shooting power...
"Aim at the British/Countryman's ship and fire it!"
After Yang Shanlu gave an order, waited until the entire twenty steel giant ships began to roar together, including the subsequent improved Galen ships also began to fire (because the range of the new artillery is much greater than that of the ordinary artillery, they are all two different. There are so many here! So the British/National Guys can't beat them, but they can beat the British/Country Guys!)
"Boom boom boom!" Wait until all the Great China Fleet fires together! After the orange flame was ejected from the muzzle, that kind of magnificence, that kind of majesty! It's almost a thousand guns! It's earth-shattering!
We must know that the entire Great China Fleet has a total of 100 large ships, and then each large ship is equipped with a full forty new artillery! (British/national warships, each ship can only be equipped with 30 artillery at most, generally 20 artillery is the normal state), so that kind of firepower density...
"Oh my God—" Seeing such magnificent artillery blasting, the last thing the British/National Guys can do is groaning/groaning. Before their battleship sank, they saw what they had seen in their entire life. The most gorgeous scene of fireworks!
And such a volley, the effect is absolutely good, after all, the British/Guojuo warships are all wooden ships! Not even the iron sheet outside! So in the face of such intense artillery fire...
It's almost like smashing an egg with a rock. Often three to four shells can hit Shen Ying's big ship! Even hitting a shell can severely wound the British/Guoyan warship!
(After all, the power of the new artillery lies in the comprehensive improvement! Not only the long range of the artillery, but also the fast rate of fire, the power of the artillery shells has been greatly enhanced, so now after such a full-scale explosion...)
In addition, the British/National Turtles are also miserable. Since the establishment of the Great China Fleet, it has not been properly opened yet.
The only few battles, such as the previous battle of Matsu Island, were only a few ships dispatched, so the firepower was fully deployed as it is now, and the entire Great China Fleet went into battle, that is, the British/National Guys enjoyed this treatment. … Although the season they enjoy makes them unforgettable...
So after the Great China Fleet is fully fired, the British/National Coopers will be miserable. Although at this time, the British/National Coopers’ ships are equipped with a lot of carpenters, which is better in the conventional battles in the past. , Once the ship is injured, it can be quickly repaired with wood.
But now? They found sadly that the speed of repairing could not keep up... The opponent’s shells were too powerful, often as long as two or more shells hit the hull, before the carpenters arrived, the battleship was already topped. Can't help it, start sinking!
Even if some fluke has time to fix it, as long as they hit one serve and two more, all they can do is pray before dying!
So after such a naval battle broke out, only half an hour later, the British fleet, which was still dominant in number at the beginning, had all turned into pieces of wood!
"Good fight!" Yang Shanlu, who was holding a telescope and witnessed the whole process, finally showed a satisfied smile when he saw it. It is worthy of the Great China Fleet that he has carefully built... !
Of the more than one hundred British/Countrymen warships, probably only two or three were in the last direction. They were lucky enough to escape, and they looked like they were escaping towards London and rushed to report the letter. But, is this useful? The British/country’s home fleet was mostly wiped out in World War I. What can be done with the rest
Even looking at the results of such a battle, Yang Shanlu has reason to be proud, because the Great China Fleet's own losses are extremely small compared with the glorious victories.
In this battle, only two modified Galen ships of the Great China Fleet were injured, but after the repairs, it was no problem. In addition, more than a dozen gunners were bruised and bruised by splashed wood chips, including one unfortunately by wood chips He was shot in the heart and died, but such a loss, compared with the glorious victory, can be considered a loss
Even looking at the results of such a battle, Yang Shanlu felt emotional... In the original history, two hundred years later, the British/national devils knocked on the door of China with a cannon! When they shelled Dagukou and burned the Old Summer Palace, they had thought of today!
In the original history, two hundred years later, in order to sell opium to the Chinese, the British/Chinese devils brazenly launched two Opium Wars! With steel guns and cannons, Man Qing gave in! And got huge profits from it!
The huge amount of war reparations they demanded from China, every two silver was dyed red by the blood of the Chinese! But now? Have you ever thought of today!
It even goes back to the 34th year after the Second Opium War. When the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 broke out, when Manchuria had already paid tens of thousands of taels of silver in compensation, it was already unable to purchase the latest iron-clad warships. Time.
When Deng Shichang, the national hero, faced the Japanese/own fleet that had an absolute advantage, he resolutely drove the sinking "Zhiyuan" and issued the last roar of his life-crashing into Yoshino, did you think of today!
So today Yang Shanlu wants to say that the people's hero will be immortal! And the lost national fortune will surely be restored by me!
Whoever violates my Da Ming will be punishable even if it is far away-stepping through the gap of Helan Mountain and facing the sky!
