One Emperor through the Ages: Starting from Infinite Copying

Chapter 167

Chongzhen carefully looked at the bunker on the periphery of the fortress.

Each pillbox had two firing holes, and one pillbox had six colonial troops.

Three colonies were in a firing hole, one opened fire and retreated to reload ammunition, and the other fired.

In this way, soldiers were shooting near the firing holes at all times, achieving continuous fire strikes.

Basically, every ten seconds, the firing hole sounds like a flintlock gun.

"Your Majesty, these guys are elite at a glance!"

"The three-stage attack tactic is used perfectly! Even if it is a shooting hole, three soldiers shoot in turn, and the shooting speed is much faster! "

Chongzhen frowned, isn't this gunpowder?

Copy a hundred barrels of gunpowder, each barrel of gunpowder is not heavy, that is, a hundred pounds.

When a hundred barrels of gunpowder appeared on the ships docked near the port of Luermen, Chongzhen had the soldiers carry them outside the city of Gelancha.

A hundred barrels of gunpowder should be an easy thing to deal with the sixty fortresses outside the city of Gelan.

At this time, the Kingdom of the Netherlands did not master cement concrete technology at all, so these fortresses were built of stone.

A barrel of gunpowder, enough to destroy one such fortress.

Five thousand Royal Marines of the Second Fleet, who skillfully rolled the powder keg.

"My God, where did the Ming Army get gunpowder again?"

Standing on the wall of the city wall of Gelan, he gasped, holding a telescope in his hand, and he couldn't stop trembling.

Zheng Zhikui has been following behind the governor.

"Governor, or you should ask the King of the Netherlands to ask for help!"

"There are so many Ming troops!"

The governor carefully observed the Ming army, and the whole person sweated coldly.

To hell, why are the Ming troops armed with flintlock guns?

It's not scientific, it's so unscientific.

"Brother Zheng, when was this Ming Army's flintlock gun equipped?"

Zheng Zhikui scratched his head, anyway, the guards in Fujian were not equipped.

"I don't know, with so many flintlock guns, it stands to reason that the imperial court has no money to produce them!"

Yi Yi was dumbfounded, looking at the Ming army outside Lanzhao City.

"With so many Ming troops, if they colonize other places, it only takes a few hundred people to build a castle~!"

"In other places, except for the kingdoms of the Europa continent with strong technology and soldiers' and horses' combat effectiveness, the indigenous people in other places are relatively primitive, your emperor is really short-sighted, why do you guard this treasure island and three melons and two dates?"

"There are so many soldiers and horses, they have long gone to other places to colonize! Why hit our colonies in the Kingdom of the Netherlands? The governor kept shaking his head, feeling puzzled.

Zheng Zhikui thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but Emperor Chongzhen has changed a lot since he was more than half a year!" As long as it is the territory of the Daming Empire, every inch of land will be contested! "

If he had so many soldiers and horses, and they were all equipped with flintlock guns, he would have colonized the Daming South Seas and Oceania farther away.

Even so many warships, colonizing the Americas, this is much more profitable than laying down treasure islands.

"Brother Zheng, in this way, if we don't leave the treasure island, the Daming Emperor will fight us to the end?"

"That is, Chongzhen came in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to it!"

"Look at the soldiers who landed, and on the sea, the warships basically wrapped the whole island!"

Yi Yi roughly observed, mother, this Ming army is really a lot.

On the island, that is, two thousand colonial troops, is it necessary to come to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?

"How big is Daming? How many people are there? "

The Governor calmed down for a moment, wanting to calculate carefully.

"Not much, if it weren't for the rise of the Eight Banners of Jiannu in Liaodong over the years, Daming would have reached 80 million people, because of frequent wars, there are only 50 million people in Daming at present!"

Fifty million people? It seems that I still don't know much about the empire of Daming.

In the past, I always felt that although they had more soldiers and horses, they were a little stronger than ordinary farmers.

Now it seems that I thought too simply.

The governor of the Dutch colonial army Treasure Island, Ji Yi, regretted it in his heart at this time.

If he had known that the Ming army would come to recover the treasure island one day, he should have laid out it in advance.

Now on Baodao, the colonial army is 2,000 people, and although this fortress is strong, it can't help so many Ming troops. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Worried and worried, he looked left and right, looking for a way to break the situation.

"Come, flying pigeons pass the book! Bring the carrier pigeons between Luzon and Manila! "

Koichi personally wrote a letter of help, tied it to the feet of a carrier pigeon and released it.

The two carrier pigeons left the treasure island, and Chongzhen took the telescope to observe the city of Geran at all times.

"They flew pigeons to pass on the book and asked for help!"

Wang Chengen, who followed Chongzhen, was worried.

"Your Majesty, what should I do then?"

"When the carrier pigeons arrive, they will send troops from other colonies to ask for help, I am afraid it will be a few months later, don't worry at all!"

Chongzhen was not afraid at all, recovered the treasure island, and later let Zheng Weiguo take the Daming Royal Navy to Nanyang to colonize Luzon Island and the land of the Indonesian Kingdom.

Although the Kingdom of Indonesia has now been colonized by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Daming is close and has an absolute advantage against the Dutch colonial army.

At that time, near the Daming Empire, it must be the territory of the Daming Empire.

After all, under the bed, you can't allow others to sleep soundly.

Chongzhen figured out this truth and waved his hand.

"~Total attack!"

Wow~~~

The soldiers lit the lead of the powder keg, pushed hard, and the powder keg rolled towards the fortress.

Rumble~~~

A huge fireball soared into the air, and the huge impact allocated to blow the fortress to pieces.

Koichi gasped as he watched a fortress being blown up outside the fortress.

"Ming Jun, this is also too wasteful of gunpowder! Gunpowder is valuable! "

Zheng Zhikui frowned and pointed outside the city.

"The Ming army still has a lot of gunpowder, what if this is used to blow up the walls of the fortress?"

Frowning, he didn't think that the Ming army would bring so much gunpowder before?

If there is enough gunpowder, what is a wall of the fortress?

"If there is enough gunpowder, I am afraid that the fortress will easily be blown down a wall!"

"Although the fortress is the strongest fortress on the continent of Europa, it can be defended with very few soldiers!"

"But like the Daming Empire using gunpowder to attack the city, this is the first time I have seen it."

Chongzhen copied (good king, good) a thousand barrels of gunpowder, anyway, in order to reduce losses, gunpowder can attack the enemy, why let the soldiers risk their lives to climb the fortress?

The villagers also helped transport gunpowder, watching the continuous procession transporting barrel after barrel of gunpowder on the road in the distance, and Yiyi was greatly shocked in his heart.

Daming is too rich, really too rich.

So much gunpowder, how much does it cost!

"Zheng Zhikui, you have been living in Daming, how rich is the Daming court, can you tell me in detail?"

"If I can escape, I will definitely write a book in the future detailing the ancient East!" Let the people and nobles of the Europa continent know the ancient East! "

Zheng Zhikui scratched his head and looked at Yiyi blankly.

"The imperial court has long run out of money, and last year we asked our courtiers to donate money to pay military salaries!"

What?

Without military salaries, these soldiers also work so hard?

How is this possible? The consciousness of the army of the Daming Empire is so high?.
