Timur walked out of the cabin, Zhou Jixun and Wang Wu quickly followed.

Timur held the boat's side with both hands and looked at the sky first, "I have been here for almost five years, and I still know the climate here."

“In the Gulf of Siam, the dry northeastern wind season is the period from November to March every year, and the rainy southwest wind season is the period from April to April”

"It's the end of March now, and the rainy season is coming soon. At that time, a large number of European sailboats can travel to China for trade in the southwest wind, while the last batch of ships departing from Japan and China will return to Europe with the northeast wind"

"See, there are two armed merchant ships that are obviously from Europe"

Zhou Jixun raised his telescope, "Your Highness is right, those two armed merchant ships should belong to the Spanish."

Timur nodded, "Five years ago, the Spanish participated in the British attack on our ships. Five years have passed, and our country has not taken action against them. This seems to them as a sign of weakness."

"I thought so before, because once you attack the Spanish, you will inevitably have a single move, and your Majesty must act against Spain in Europe"

"But now the time for the operation against the Spaniards has obviously come. Of course, they have built tall and sturdy castles in Manila, Southeast Asia and other places. It is said that the thickness of Manila's wall is more than eight meters high, and even if it is used for 60 kilograms of heavy cannons, it cannot be broken."

"This may be their support"

"If I guessed correctly, Ruan Youju had a strange intention in the morning. His reliance was the Spaniards, because he also saw that our country did not take action against them, and this section was naturally exaggerated by the Spaniards, making them believe in their strength"

"And"

Timur pointed to the walls of Vung Tau and said, "In recent years, your people have not entered Vung Tau and are only allowed to market activities outside the city."

"Yes, I also felt a little strange at that time. Our country has had a good relationship with Guangnan in recent years. Even the royal city of Hue can be accessed. Why is a mere Vung Tau city so strictly guarded? Now it seems that Ruan Youju has strengthened the city wall with the assistance of the Spaniards in recent years."

"Most of them have been replaced"

Timur said: "It's almost the case. Our country has never fought with Lord Ruan, Lord Zheng and Lord Li later. Although he has always been famous, he has never had the pain of real swords and guns."

"Well, since Ruan Youju wants to be a car with a mantis arm, then let's show them!"

As he said that, his right hand was raised high again, and then waved it down hard!

Four Batulus began to approach Vung Tau Port!

"Boom..."

The ship had just started, and the cannons on the top of the city were the first to roar!

Just now, the fleet was about one mile away from the port. Generally speaking, the artillery on the city wall could not be so far away, but the current situation was surprising!

I saw a shell landing near a Batulu, which caused a large splash of water. A shell passed through the Batulu and flew to the Bogda near the back!

"Woo..."

Timur frowned and still issued an order to leave the dock.

After some nervous turn and adjustment, two ships were still hit by shore artillery. Although it was nothing serious, the Truqins were still nervous.

Vung Tau City is built at the deepest point of the harbor. If the Iron Craftsman wants to withdraw, they can only retreat to the large bay outside. In this way, they can only arrange the warships into a formation from northeast to southwest.

The Truchens' warships only had artillery on the middle deck, which was far less dense than those of the Europeans. Given this, the diameter of their gun windows was larger than that of the Europeans, so that the cannons could adjust the elevation angle freely.

At present, the Bogda is centered, with two Batulu on both sides, and a total of 38 artillery pieces on the starboard side raised the elevation angle.

"Boom..."

The test launch of the Truqin battleship has begun.

Their anchorage is about three miles away from Vung Tau City, which is within the effective range of the naval guns. However, at this distance, it is not easy for even the most advanced Truqin cannon in the world to accurately hit the city.

But Timur's orders are also clear.

"No matter the residents inside and outside the city, their main buildings are made of wooden and bamboo. They are made of howitzers are used to burn them and burn them completely!"

His order was obviously correct. Whether it was Vung Tau or Jiading, they were all border areas of Guangnan. It was really unfolding in this century. It was impossible to build as tall and sturdy as Shenglong City and Hue City, and there would not be many earth and stone buildings in the city.

At this time, in Southeast Asia, except for the Vietnamese, Cambodia actually has the highest cultural level and the most stone buildings, but culture and force are often inversely proportional. At the moment, it is the more backward Siamese people, and the Burmese people have the upper hand and repeatedly rub against their territory.

As for the Vietnamese, they have been influenced by Chinese culture for a long time and have been far stronger in their military system than in Southeast Asian countries in their creation. In addition, they have been fighting internally for a long time, and their real strength is naturally the best.

Even so, with the ability of the Vietnamese, it is impossible to build every castle extremely firmly, because since they can defeat the enemy in the field, they have no intention of building the castle very firmly, which will require huge manpower, material resources and financial resources.

At this distance, the artillery on the city wall was indeed not strong enough. On the one hand, it was because of the range, and on the other hand, it was because they also needed to adjust the gun position. When the Truqin naval gun roared for a long time, there was still no movement on the city wall.

It is difficult to adjust the heavy cannons of Europeans into place, and it is even more difficult to fix them in a city where it is difficult to fix them, because there cannot be wedges in the soil like on the ground, and there is no convenient cattle and horse power.

As mentioned earlier, the effective range of the Truchen cannon is three and a half miles, or 1,800 meters, and it did not reach the terrifying range of four miles like the Napoleon bronze cannon in later generations. That was because the Truchens reduced the weight of the cannon in order to facilitate the convenience of reducing the weight of the cannon.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Now, there is no such concern about the artillery on the warship. Although the weight is still lighter than that of the Napoleon bronze cannon, its range has already caught up.

After ten rounds of bombardment, a large number of grenades not only fell to the top of the city, but also crossed the city wall and flew into the city behind!

Half a day later, I saw that the section of the city wall near the harbor was already devastated. The fleet once again drove into the deepest part of the harbor, and then started a new round of bombardment about five hundred meters away from the castle!

After another five rounds, a large amount of black smoke finally emerged from the sky above the city!

After the other five rounds, you can already see fire above the city!

At dusk, the entire Vung Tau City has become a fire city!

....

The next day, the fleet sailed into the Tongnai River.

When approaching Jiading City (Ho Chi Minh City), the fleet followed suit and began bombarding the castle.

Compared with Wobasi, Timur is a real Mongolian with strong ruthlessness in his bones. In real history, he died of illness halfway through the journey with Wobasi, but in this era he became an excellent commander who is no less than Wobasi.

Truqin's technological culture blessing, coupled with the ruthlessness of the Mongolians, made him a great killer for Qitade to make the Far East. If it were Wobaxi, I believe it would be difficult to do this.

There is no suspense, Ruan Youju thought that with the blessing of the Spanish, the dream of Jiading City could be kept dead after a day of shelling.

Jiading City has once again become a big fireball.

A fireball that is much bigger than Vung Tau!

This time, Timur had already sent a cavalry brigade to the shore and guarded the necessary place for those who fled in the city. There, the brigade launched indiscriminate shooting and bombing at the escaped people, whether they were soldiers or the people.

Timur did this because of his reason.

After accepting Jiading, Ruan Youju re-strengthening the city wall. Although he adopted the strategy of winning over Chameng and Khmer people, only the Vietnamese could live in the city.

In other words, those who can escape from the city are all Vietnamese!

As for the Chinese outside the city, Khmers, and Chammen, they had already escaped completely by the daytime bombardment.

It's another twilight time.

The fire in Jiading City is still burning, and the smoke and dust in the sky are obscuring the sky, and the smell of gunpowder and burnt smell are filled with the air.

Ruan Youju, Mo Tianci and others ran away. The Truqins were able to guard their way to escape east, but a mere brigade could not close all the roads near the castle.

Finally, according to the prisoner's confession, Ruan Youju and Mo Tianci ran away to the north.

At this time, the core location of Jiading City was located between the Tongnai River and the Saigong River, but a large number of farms and villages had been opened on the west bank of the Saigong River. The current Jiading City was obviously unable to live in. Timur now led a large army to live and stationed on the west bank of the Saigong River.

In the evening, Timur convened an emergency meeting.

"Defeating Ruan Youju is only the first step, but it is still a very small step. Fortunately, Zhang Fuyue's people are still there, so he immediately sent someone to Hue City and told me about my suggestion Ruan Lord to listen to him and let him send a new envoy as soon as possible. Before that, let Zhang Fuyue's people cooperate with us to take over the countryside"

"We brought two brigades this time, Sanjice!"

"In!"

Sanjice is Sanjiceling. In real history, he and Marhashha were the two generals of Henha when Wobasi returned to the east, just like Chu Hur and Techina to Qitad. These two were the Dazaisan prepared by Lash for Wobasi, and the second candidates for the second Zaisan. Naturally, they are young generals in their twenties, and they were all sent to Bangladesh and the Far East came.

Nowadays, Sanjitze is commanding the Assam Brigade, while Malha is commanding a brigade in Hong Kong, and they are all brought here by Timur.

"Your people cooperate with civil servants, Zhang Fuyue's people take over the countryside, and select suitable people from them, mainly Khmers and chasers. In another month, such people should be selected."

"Yes"

"Marha"

"In!"

"Your people retreat to Vung Tau Peninsula tomorrow morning, and carefully clear it up there, completely eliminate Ruan Youyi's people, then completely occupy the peninsula, and build a new city far away from the mainland of the peninsula. This time I brought four Tengjis building materials and a large number of construction workers"

"I have already told Garcia that during this period, half of his fleet's capacity has been used to the construction of Vung Tau City, and the building materials of Hong Kong City have been transported here continuously."

"As for the required wood, buy it from Siam"

"After a month, our people, with the assistance of locals, should be familiar with the geography and hydrology of Jiading and Vung Tau, so Sanjitze will take your Assam brigade to clean up the surrounding countryside and forests in a camp"

“Yes!”

A month later, the new envoy of Lord Ruan of Guangnan Kingdom arrived. With Lord Ruan's edict, Truqin accepted Jiading Prefecture, and Vung Tung Prefecture's actions even faster.

However, although the Assam brigade, which was used to the humidity and heat, the Truchens were still affected by the local humidity and heat, and many people were also infected with malaria.

Although Truqin had already developed the method of making Artemisia annua into granules to treat malaria, the effect was obviously limited.

On this day, Timur held another urgent meeting.

"According to His Majesty, if there is anything most effective in this world to deal with malaria, it is cinchona frost. At that time, this thing was only produced in South America and was regarded as a more precious thing by the Spanish. Even Europeans wanted to transplant saplings from them."

"But they obviously have their own city of Manila"

"It just so happens that we have a debt to them and have not settled"

"Zhuang Jiyun"

"In"

"You took the Iron Armored Fleet and the Marja Brigade to Manila. According to the Intelligence Bureau, two treasure ships have arrived there recently, preparing to participate in the annual large-scale trade in Guangzhou City."

"Pick those two treasure ships, and at the same time, take down Manila City, collect all the Spaniards' wealth, and move all the Chinese there here"

"In addition, find the cinchona frost tree that the Spanish secretly planted in Manila and transplant it here"
