540 just lack of mining
The British colonists really didn't expect that someone would rush up and catch them and beat them up.
The Spanish are not so savage!
Who is this? So unreasonable?
This is true for the European colonists. When they can beat you, it is the prey of the weak. They will catch you and fight to the death, and they will never be reasonable.
When they can't beat you, justify you, or want you to reason with them.
Unfortunately, they met Taichang.
Taichang had no intention of reasoning with them at all.
After twenty ASCHS fired nineteen rounds in turn, the British fortresses were already full of holes, and many rooms were even collapsed, and there was no one left in the turret, all of which were bombarded into a pile of gravel.
Taichang slowly glanced with a telescope, and then said lightly: "Transfer the command, the ASCHE will lean on, let the soldiers of the Shenwu Camp and the Sioux soldiers land and clear the battlefield."
Soon, an ASCHE ship leaned on the dock. More than ten ladders immediately stretched out from the more than ten cabin doors on the second floor. Teams of Sioux soldiers holding shields immediately rushed down and shipped out the shield walls outside the dock.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Shenwu Camp holding a musket rushed down quickly and a row of musket arrays emerged behind the shield wall.
One ASHIELD ship had more than 5,000 people. After getting off the ASHIELD ship immediately left the dock, and then another ASHIELD ship continued to lean on the dock and continued to take off.
After landing, the Sioux soldiers and the Shenwu Camp did not rush around immediately. They just lined up one shield array after another near the dock, as if they were practicing something.
The remaining British colonists in the fortress were stunned.
In fact, after thousands of people surged from the first ASCH ship, they raised white flags.
The problem is, people ignore them at all!
What do these people do?
You know, there are only five or six hundred people in one fortress, and they were killed and injured just now.
There are thousands of people on this giant ship, and they are still going down, and there are more than a dozen or more people.
What exactly do they want to do?
In fact, this is a question of the flag.
At this moment, the battle at sea can only rely on the order flag to send orders, and no matter how loud the voice is, the voice can't send orders.
The order received by the twenty Aegis Shield ships here was to first let the soldiers of the Shenwu Camp and the Sioux soldiers land, and then clear the battlefield.
Therefore, after twenty Aegis Shield ships put down all the 20,000 Shenwu Camp soldiers and 90,000 Sioux soldiers, the 110,000 soldiers carried the ladder and rushed into the fortress.
Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "Jiandou, next time you will be the one who will command the battle."
It is indeed impossible to command landing operations at such a long distance. The orders passed by were too general, and the soldiers could only follow these rigid orders.
Fortunately, they had already smashed all the forts in the British fortress, and the British in the fortress were scared to death. Otherwise, something would have happened like this.
The battle ended soon, with more than 100,000 people rushing up, and even hundreds of British people would not dare to fight back even if they were arrogant.
Not long after, the British colonists in the fort were tied up and were escorted out. Ma Xianglin, who was leading the troops on the front line, also sent a messenger to report in a clutch, and the battlefield was cleaned up and asked the prisoners how to deal with it.
When Taichang heard the news, he ordered the flagship to lean on the dock, lower the ladder, and then took Lu Xiangsheng and a group of guard masters down.
When Ma Xianglin saw that the flagship had arrived, the emperor had also got off the ship. He hurriedly walked over with a group of generals and bowed and said, "See the emperor."
Taichang nodded slightly and then asked, "Has the fort cleared?"
Ma Xianglin hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, clean up, all the prisoners have been taken out, and all the corpses have been carried out."
Taichang nodded slightly again, then waved his hand and walked towards the British fortress.
What exactly does he want to see?
The group was a little confused.
However, there is no danger at this moment, because there are more than 100,000 soldiers guarding the fortress inside and outside, and there are not many enemies here, with only a few hundred of them in total, which poses no threat to them at all.
Taichang looked very carefully.
After he walked into the fortress, he came to the destroyed fortress and squatted down and looked carefully at the barrel that fell on the side. He picked up another shell and stuffed it into the barrel, and tried it.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered the soldiers of the Shenwu Camp to take a seized musket and look at it carefully for a while before asking: "How many such muskets have been seized in total?"
Ma Xianglin said without hesitation: "There are less than a hundred of them in total."
Taichang nodded slightly, then asked again: "What weapons do they have besides muskets and cannons?"
Ma Xianglin thought about it and then introduced in detail: "Their weapons are very diverse, including swords, spears, and even axes, iron forks, etc.."
Taichang said without hesitation: "Take it all over and take a look."
Ma Xianglin quickly waved to the back.
Soon, a group of soldiers from the Shenwu Camp came over with a bunch of cold weapons.
Taichang directly ordered them to throw all their weapons to the ground, and then squatted down one by one to look carefully.
Lu Xiangsheng and Ma Xianglin were all confused.
What is the emperor looking at?
Taichang is actually looking at the technological development level of the British.
He personally led the development of muskets and artillery, and witnessed the development process of the Ming Dynasty from cold weapons to hot weapons.
He could naturally see some clues about how these weapons were processed.
Obviously, the British are mainly making it by hand now.
Although some weapons have traces of mechanical processing, they are not processed by large steam machines, but by primitive small manual machine tools.
For example, there are traces of reamer reaming on the barrel and the inner wall of the barrel.
However, the hinge is not very thorough, nor is it very smooth.
This proves that they are not using steam-powered machine tools to unlimited hinges, but using manual rotating machine tools to struggle to hinges.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to smooth the inner walls of the barrel and barrel.
This level is actually just the weapons and equipment level of the Ming army during the Wanli Dynasty, but they had more muskets and artillery equipment.
In other words, the British are not good enough, and now they are not even as good as the Dutch.
His judgment is indeed correct.
Spain has not yet completely declined, the Netherlands has just emerged, the French have not yet dominated the continent, and Britain has to wait until these countries have declined before they can dominate the world.
Britain was still a little weak at this time and was not afraid of anything.
Taichang threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, got up and clapped his hands, and then walked back with his group.
He was not here to capture him, but when the prisoners saw him crying and shouting desperately.
Generally speaking, these British people want to fool him, a "senior official".
Unfortunately, the British power has not yet extended to the Far East and the Ming Dynasty has never had contact with them. Therefore, the Ministry of Rites has no English knowledge at all. What they call there, Chen Siming and other Ministry of Rites cannot understand.
Taichang can actually understand a little bit.
Although his English is not very good, he can still understand it, such as "wrong", "Water Khan", "Haa Yo", etc.
Still why?
No reason!
Don’t you talk about the laws of the jungle?
Don’t you talk about the prey on the weak?
You are much weaker than the Ming Dynasty now, so there is no reason for the Ming Dynasty to beat you up.
He was too lazy to pay attention to these prisoners, so he walked straight to the flagship.
Ma Xianglin asked quite a bit: "Emperor, how do you deal with these prisoners?"
