Seeing countless boats rushing out of the two sides of the strait, Zhu Hongsan cursed himself as a crow's mouth. He was such a good and bad spirit.

At this time, Zhu Hongyi, who was standing beside him, pulled out two horizontal swords behind him, called a guard company of 100 people, lined up three floors in front of Zhu Hongsan, and then said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will protect Your Majesty for safety. Even if the ship sinks and I am good at water, I can still take Your Majesty out of danger!"

Zhu Hongsan was relieved when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this. Zhu Hongyi was born in Wuchang and the children on the Yangtze River were ignorant of water. When he was young, Zhu Hongyi could sneak into the bottom of the river to eat raw fish and shrimp. Zhu Hongsan felt relieved when he heard Zhu Hongyi say this and began to see how Zhang Liang directed the battle.

Zhang Liang was also an accident in the ambush this time. He had never fought in the inland river water battle. He used to fight against the Spaniards on the ocean. It was his strength to line up against the bombing line. It was really unacceptable to the small boat trips like entering the inland river.

Tian Xiong on the shore was frightened at first when he saw the Guangdong Navy's large ship, but he didn't expect that the Ming army would have such a giant ship. But then he saw the head ship stranded, Tian Xiong was overjoyed, and the opportunity came!

Tian Xiong shouted: "Brothers, the opportunity to get promoted and make money is here. Kill a Ming army and reward five taels of silver, and grab ten taels of officials!" Under his instigation, all the Qing army began to scream.

Next, Tian Xiong ordered the ignition of the cannon, because his fleet was ambushed on both sides and the two sides could only surprise the Ming army.

After the fire of the cannon, the first wave of attacks were thirty Mengchong, which was a small boat that was shaking by two people, which was filled with tincture oil and gunpowder. The bow of the ship was nailed with three one-foot-long iron nails. When they approached the Ming Dynasty Navy, they lit the tincture oil on the boat to ignite the enemy ship. Before they set off, they all received a fifty taels of each of Tian Xiong's resettlement fees, and told them that if there were still fifty taels to die in battle, they would add fifty taels to each lit Ming Dynasty Navy ship. With such a heavy reward, these desperadoes fought for the first place and rushed to die.

Tian Xiong's second wave of attacks was the 150 large ships he led, which was also relative. Tian Xiong's large ships were collected fishing boats, each of which contained fifty to thirty people. After the enemy ship was in chaos, these people would take the opportunity to jump on the boat and fight with each other. Tian Xiong believed that as long as his elite troops got on the boat, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were no match for him at all.

Tian Xiong's tactics are classic tactics of ancient navy. In history, he used these points to defeat King Lu's navy many times, but today he encountered a different fleet.

Zhu Hongsan's Nanyang Navy was influenced by the actual combat with the Spanish people and the professional knowledge imparted by Spanish instructors, and was no less than any navy on this planet, and was even more invincible in Asia. As the commander of the squadron, Zhang Quan was extremely experienced in combat. When he saw countless small boats rushing out of both sides, he immediately ordered the flagship to start flags and ordered each ship to form a battle line with the flagship as the head, and opened the gun doors to fire on both sides.

When the captains of the other nineteen warships saw the order, they manipulated the ships into a row. At the same time, under the command of the sailor leader, the soldiers in the ship opened the gun door, pushed the gun out of the gun mouth, and waited for the order to fire. The lower ammunition depot began to lift the gunpowder bags and shells into the gun deck with cranes, and then some sailors transported them to the gun position. At the same time, there were sailors sprinkled fine sand on the deck, which was taught by the Spanish instructor, because someone would be injured at the beginning of the battle, and the blood flowed out would cause others to slide, and the fine sand would play an anti-slip role.

Of course, Zhu Hongsan's navy learned more than this from Spanish instructors, but many others. This kind of institutionalized management made Zhu Hongsan's navy no longer an ancient navy, but a modern navy. The water battle with the Manqing navy had already divided the results of the victory or loss at the beginning.

When the Manqing Naval Division fire ship was one mile away from the fleet, the Qing army on the ship began to ignite tinder oil, and the timids began to dive to escape, allowing the boat to lean against the Ming Navy with inertia, while some brave ones simply shook and accelerated the speed and crashed towards the Ming Navy.

Each of the 500-ton warships of the Guangdong Navy is equipped with 48 artillery pieces and 24 artillery decks on one side are divided into three layers, the upper two layers are eighteen-pound naval artillery pieces, and the lower layer is the heavy artillery deck, which is six twenty-two-pound heavy artillery pieces. Otherwise, the navy will cost a lot, the number of artillery pieces of this 500-ton warship is as high as an artillery regiment of the Army, not to mention the thousand-ton warship that is equipped with these 76 artillery pieces.

When the captains of each ship saw the Manqing naval division entering the range, they ordered the heavy artillery with the farthest range to fire first. For a moment, the sound of cannons rumbling on the Qiantang River, and the white smoke was misty. The river immediately made loud explosions. Of course, this was not the artillery shells of the Guangdong Navy that would explode, but the explosion of the Qing Dynasty's fire attack ship was sunk and the fire on the ship ignited gunpowder.

Tian Xiong saw that thirty fireboats were sunk in the blink of an eye, and sighed in his heart the power of the Ming Navy's artillery, but he was not very scared, because the Guangdong Navy was only the lowest-level heavy artillery fired, and they were all solid bullets. Tian Xiong counted that the Ming Navy had not had dozens of cannons in total, and the firing speed was slow, far less than the speed of the Furang machine cannon, so Tian Xiong was ready to use his numerical advantage to rush up and stir up with them, so that the Ming army's artillery would not play a role.

Tian Xiong made up his mind to issue a letter cannon again and ordered the second wave to attack. When the second wave was one mile away from the Ming army fleet, the heavy artillery fired first, and the Qing army began to suffer casualties. Tian Xiong looked at his side with less than ten ships, which were completely within the affordable range. He ordered the flag to be used without caring about the wounded soldiers in the water, and leaned forward at full speed and stirred up with the Ming army.

But Tian Xiong thought it was pretty good. When he entered the Ming army fleet for 500 meters, all the artillery fired, and he replaced it with melee weapon and shotgun.

Due to caliber problems, the sub-munitions of shotguns were only the size of quail eggs. However, in the Navy, the tonnage caliber was not a problem. The shotguns used by the Navy to maintain kinetic energy were as big as table tennis. By the way, there was no table tennis in this era, and the size of duck egg yolks. This ammunition could penetrate a one-inch thick wooden board within a range of 500 meters, let alone the human body.

Now the Qing army navy is facing this problem. In order to prepare to jump to the gang, all the Qing soldiers stood at the bow of the ship and waited until they contacted the enemy ship and jumped to the gang. Now they encountered the shotgun and became a living target.

The Guangdong Navy had twenty warships, eighteen-pound cannons, seven hundred and twenty, twenty-two-pound cannons, twenty-four-two-pound cannons, thirty-six sub-ammunitions, and twenty-two-pound cannons, fifty-six sub-ammunitions, twenty-two-pound cannons, and fifty-six sub-ammunitions. In this way, nearly 40,000 iron balls with duck egg yolk were shot out in the first round of shooting. In addition, the Qing army had no protection at all, and the dozens of ships in the front row had no living people, and there were not even complete bodies, and they were restored to body parts by the shotgun. The superstructures of these dozens of ships were swept away by the shotgun and turned into canoes.

Tian Xiong, who was in the Qing army's rear team, was already shocked when he saw the blow that had just happened to be like a storm. Of course, as an ancient man, he had seen the tragic tragedy of modern wars. Just when Tian Xiong was stunned, the second wave of shotgun arrived, and dozens of ships turned into canoes.

Tian Xiong realized at this time that he could not continue to shoot. In less than a stick of incense, his fleet had lost half of it. Tian Xiong quickly ordered the flag to retreat. But at this time, the third wave of shotgun arrived. Tian Xiong was so desperate that he happened to encounter a shotgun shot from a heavy cannon. Fifty-six ammunition swept across Tian Xiong's ship like a storm. The Qing Dynasty Zhejiang Admiral, the future second-class Shunyi Hou, Lord Tian Xiongtian, was restored to body parts without saying a word.

The remaining Qing ships saw that the boss was dead and naturally fled in scattered. When the commander of Guangdong Navy Zhang Liang saw that the Manqing naval division had fled. He was about to issue an order to pursue him, he found that half of the ships on his side were stranded. He was so angry that he jumped up and scolded the Qing generals for cunning.

Zhu Hongsan had just hiding behind the guard company and did not show his head, but after finding that he was not in danger, he poked his head out to watch the battle situation. He happened to see the second and third waves of shotgun swept across the Qing Shui Division. Zhu Hongsan had led the army to fight a blocking battle before and knew the power of shotgun, but this was the first time the navy fired shotgun, which was much more interesting than the army.

Zhu Hongsan pulled Zhu Hongyi and said, "Brother, have you seen that our navy has strong firepower!"

Zhu Hongyi didn't care about killing people and setting fires before, but that was one by one. This was the first time I saw thousands of people killing people with firearms. Now I heard Zhu Hongsan ask and quickly answered: "Your Majesty, this is the first time I saw the naval artillery show its power!"

Seeing that the navy he formed was powerful, Zhu Hongsan was like a rich man in the countryside, always liked to let people see how much money he had. Now, he couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhu Hongyi say this: "Brother, do you think we can succeed in the Northern Expedition with such a strong army?"

Zhu Hongyi quickly knelt down on one knee and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise and magical, and he will surely be able to successfully fight the Northern Expedition and restore the Ming Dynasty!" After Zhu Hongyi said that, all the officers and soldiers around him shouted, "With wise and magical, and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

The sailors on the other ships didn't know that Zhu Hongsan was on the flagship. After all, Zhu Hongsan had a temporary intention to get on the warship. Now when he heard the shouting on the flagship, he knew that the emperor had just fought with him, and shouted: "A wise and magical martial arts will restore the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Hongsan was naturally very happy to see that he was supported by the soldiers. He stood on the bridge and shouted loudly: "Brothers, when we are reviving the Ming Dynasty, we will drink, eat meat and play with women together!"

Zhu Hongsan's words really mean that the soldiers were in the hearts of the soldiers. All the soldiers cheered: "Listen to the emperor, revive the Ming Dynasty, drink and eat meat and play with women!"

Zhu Hongsan was very happy, but at this time he had to disturb the situation with ignorance. The fleet commander Zhang Liang came over and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what should I do if half of the ships are stranded now?"
