Chapter 660 Promotion
Jiajing is ambitious at this moment. Seeing such an iron-armored naval division, what kind of enemy is unbeaten? With such a naval division army in hand, the ocean is simply invincible. Then Zhang Hao and Chen Zhengqing took Jiajing to the naval division camp. At this moment, the naval division camp was also ready and lunch had already been eaten.
"Do you want your Majesty and all the ministers to land on the warships? Let's go for the exercise together?" Zhang Hao stood there and asked Jiajing!
"Land on the warship?" Jiajing was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't thought about it yet, but he was also itchy in his heart at this moment.
"Dear friends, do you want to go up?" Jiajing turned around and looked at the ministers and said, who also looked at Jiajing with anticipation.
"Your Majesty, I am willing!" Yan Song immediately bowed and said. He knew what Jiajing was thinking and knew that Jiajing must have wanted to go up and take a look.
"Then go up!" Jiajing saw Yan Song agreeing, and took the lead in walking up the Xuan Ladder. Zhang Hao followed behind, and then Zhang Rong and the others. After getting on the warship, Jiajing found that there were Jinyiwei guards guarding every place here. Jiajing knew that Zhang Hao had actually prepared it long ago.
"Okay, the warships are started and go out to sea!" Zhang Hao said to Chen Zhengqing beside him. When the tugboats below saw the order, they immediately began to drag the warships and left the port.
When the warship was a little far from the port, the warship began to start, the sound of the turbine came, and the warship immediately drove away. The ministers also arrived at the edge of the ship and looked at the sea below.
"Your Majesty, you're leaving so fast!" Zhang Rong stood beside Jiajing and said excitedly. Jiajing also looked at the waves at the stern of the boat, knowing that this was not by people rowing, but by machines.
"No, really good, Zhang Hao, I am very satisfied with your handling of this matter!" Jiajing said happily at this moment.
"Your Majesty, you're about to arrive at the exercise area. At that time, your Majesty will be able to see the power of our Ming Dynasty naval warship!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.
"Well, I want to see it, I need to take a good look!" Jiajing said happily. Soon, the warship arrived at the exercise area.
At this moment, the navy's people also reminded them not to stand on the ship secret, but to go up to the command tower. When they arrived at the command tower, each official sent a telescope. Some officials didn't know how to use it, but Jiajing knew that Jiajing had seen this thing for a long time.
"Your Majesty, look at the woods in the distance, they are all big woods, which we just put out. These woods are the enemy's warships, about 10 miles away from us!" Zhang Hao pointed to the wood in the distance and said to Jiajing. At this time, Zhang Hao would not say anything about the sea, but he would rather estimate it according to the approximate distance.
"You can fight in 10 miles?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and asked.
"Your Majesty, in fact, we can exchange fire in advance if we are 30 miles away. It is difficult for the enemy to get close to us, unless he is very lucky and can avoid our shell attack!" Chen Zhengqing said to Jiajing.
"Oh, 30 miles?" After hearing this, Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao in shock.
"That's right, 30 miles away!" Zhang Hao nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, that's good, if that's the case, it will be difficult for the enemy to get close to us!" Jiajing said happily, and the other ministers nodded,
Soon, the warships took an attacking posture, with a total of two warships. With Chen Zhengqing's order, the cannons on the side of the warship and 30 artillery fired all at the distance towards the charcoal in the distance. According to the sound of his cannons, the officials were startled. Then they saw huge splashes of water blowing up, and some of the wood was blown up.
The second round of bombing came again. Ten consecutive rounds of bombings were no longer visible in the distance, but the wood could be seen.
"Good thing!" Zhang Rong knew the power of those cannons at this moment.
"Well, this cannon is very powerful!" Jiajing nodded with great satisfaction. At this moment, the warship began to turn directions and use the cannons on the other side to start long-range shooting.
"Your Majesty, this time it's a long-range shooting, 30 kilometers!" Chen Zhengqing said to Jiajing.
"Okay!" Jiajing nodded, and then Chen Zhengqing went to make arrangements. After a while, the cannons fired and the shells flew into the distance. The ministers were all looking at them with telescopes and saw a very far away place, and water splashes came.
"So far?" Jiajing was also holding a telescope and was very surprised to find that he could shoot so far.
"It's so far. Your Majesty, our Imperial Guard needs such cannons, and such cannons are even more powerful!" Zhang Rong also said to Jiajing.
"Well, Zhang Hao, have you heard what your father said?" Jiajing immediately turned his head and said to Zhang Hao.
"Your Majesty, I heard that our cannons are not yet produced enough now, and now they can only barely be enough for our navy. However, if your cannon is equipped with our Imperial Guards and other troops, especially in fortresses, it will kill the Tatars. Our cannon is extremely powerful, but it is a new cannonball!" Zhang Hao immediately said to Jiajing and Zhang Rong.
"Oh, you kid still did a lot of things!" Jiajing nodded immediately when he heard this. As the long-range bombing ended, the warship began to drive to a small island in the distance. The island was an uninhabited island, and people were not allowed to go to the island here.
"Your Majesty, the next step is to attack the ground. If we want to fight Japanese pirates, we must have warships attacked the ground, so that our army can land!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.
"Yeah!" Jiajing nodded. He was in a very good mood and the ministers were also very shocked. They never expected that Zhang Hao would do such a big thing in Tangshan.
"Prepare, let it go!" Chen Zhengqing shouted loudly, and the soldiers next to him immediately waved the flag. The soldiers behind him affirmed and waved them as well until the soldiers below saw the flag words.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!" The warship bombed again, and then saw the mountains and earth cracks in the distance, a large number of stones were blown up, and there were also thick smoke. In addition, they saw the vegetation in the distance, all of which were blown away.
After five rounds, the bombardment stopped. Jiajing and the others also stood there, holding a telescope and looking into the distance, and found that the thick smoke in the distance was slowly dissipating, and huge bomb craters were left on the ground.
"Your Majesty, if you use such artillery equipment to our Imperial Guards, I will dare to attack the Tatars this winter!" Zhang Rong stood there and said excitedly.
"That's not possible, this year's not possible, and next year's not possible. Fighting Japanese pirates is ranked first. We need to thoroughly clean up the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates have troubled our Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years and have not been resolved. This time we must solve it!" Jiajing shook his head and said,
The Ming Dynasty was able to fight on both sides, but there was no need. After all, there was still time. The key was to improve the people's livelihood in the country and improve the living standards of the people. Now it is much better. There are no rebellions in the Central Plains, only local chieftains and rebels.
However, Jiajing also analyzed the reasons. Why was the rebellion not good? Or was it because local officials bullied those young people too ruthlessly. If it was the latter, Jiajing would have to deal with those officials. If it was the former, Jiajing would also need to reflect on and let the ministers modify it. However, the rebellion would require resolute suppression. Duke Mu of Yunnan was a specialist in guarding the southwest. With them, the people in the southwest could not cause waves.
"Your Majesty, this warship is excellent. I really didn't expect that Lu An Hou could build a warship if he had such skills!" Zhou Yan came to Jiajing at this moment and spoke.
"Well, I didn't believe it at first, but this kid is good at it. I agreed to say he wants 10 million taels. I know that Zhang Hao will not lie to me!" Jiajing said with a smile at this moment.
"That's it!" Zhang Hao said proudly.
"General Chen!" Jiajing said as he looked at the navy guerrilla general Chen Zhengqing not far away.
"I'm here!" Chen Zhengqing immediately walked to the front,
"I appoint you as the deputy general of the Ming Navy, serving as the training navy, and assisting the navy in combat!" Jiajing said to Chen Zhengqing.
"Ah! Yes!" Chen Zhengqing said in surprise when he heard this. He did not expect that he had been promoted to two levels in a row this time, and he passed the general and became the deputy general directly.
"Zhang Hao!" Jiajing continued to shout.
"I'm here!" Jiajing immediately bowed and said.
"I appoint you as the general of the navy and train this army for me. From now on, I will count on you to fight the Japanese pirates!" Jiajing said with a smile to Zhang Hao.
"Yes!" Zhang Hao said happily.
"From the future, I will leave it to you to command the commander!" Jiajing continued.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Zhang Hao said immediately. If Zhang Hao was promoted this time, he was the deputy general of the Imperial Guard before. This time he served as the general. The general had tens of thousands of troops under him. Moreover, Zhang Hao was the boss of this iron-armored warship fleet. It was Zhang Hao who had the final say in the future.
"General Chen, but there is still an exercise task?" Jiajing asked at Chen Zhengqing.
"Your Majesty, it's gone. Today I mainly bring Your Majesty and the ministers to see the power of the warships. I hope the court can support our fleet!" Chen Zhengqing immediately bowed and said.
"I support it!" Jiajing said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Zhengqing also bowed and said.
"I must support you. With such a warship in hand, I believe that the entire ocean belongs to our Ming Dynasty!" Yan Song said happily at this moment.
"Hahaha. OK, the whole ocean is from our Ming Dynasty when you hear Yan Song's words, Jiajing laughed happily, and his heart was full of passion and confidence.
