Chapter 290 Tianjin Military Exercise (2)

Charge chapter (8 o'clock)

"Boom" The roar of artillery sounded again on the sea.[.]

However, the protagonist has been replaced by six small warships of the Shanghai Navy. This round of artillery volley was far less powerful than the Spanish fleet in front, but it was shelled at a distance of about a thousand yards. What is amazing is that although the distance is almost twice as far away than that of the Spanish fleet, most of the shells still hit the target ship accurately. The target ship was hit by wooden blocks and shaking continuously. The waiting and watching crowd immediately burst out with cheers.

When the Western missionaries who were ordered by Kangxi to come to Tianjin to watch the military exercises saw this, they all looked incredible. No wonder the Qing Dynasty could force the Spanish fleet to surrender. It turned out that the Qing naval artillery was so accurate that it could accurately hit the target at a distance of thousands of yards. What else could it be fought in this naval battle? Whether it was the Dutch, Britain, France and other countries' fleets encountered the Qing naval warships, there was no way out except surrender. They must send the news back to their country as soon as possible. Almost all Western missionaries were thinking about it.

Kangxi was very excited and relieved when he saw it. It was really far and accurate. Although he had heard Yinzhen say it before, he had seen it with his own eyes and felt it was particularly different.

Everyone was still admiring, the rumbling cannon sounded again, and the second round of volleys came again in a blink of an eye, and most of the shells were still hit. The broken target ship shook a few times and then tilted into the water.

Western missionaries, Kangxi and others who knew about artillery clearly felt that the artillery fired much faster. Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with some confusion.

Yinzhen explained with a smile: "The navy's artillery uses rear-load ammunition, so the shelling speed is much faster."

Kangxi knew very well about the cannon after loading ammunition. After thinking about it slightly, he understood the benefits and convenience of the after loading. He couldn't help but smile and praised: "It's true that if it's a musket, it's also fine, and there's no worries in the northwest."

"Return to Emperor Ama, the improvement of the musket will be launched soon." Yinzhen smiled and said, "Even so, the northwest is no longer a concern. Emperor Ama can feel at ease after seeing the Marine Corps military exercises."

"Okay," Kangxi smiled and said, "Where is the Marine Corps military exercise?"

"I'll also ask the Emperor Ama to move to Tianjin." Yinzhen bowed and replied: "The prisoner offering ceremony was held in Tianjin, and the Marine Corps military exercises were held outside the city. At that time, the Emperor Ama can watch it on the city wall, saving the pain of running around."

Xi glanced at the head with a slight nose, then glanced at the princes and princes. The civil and military ministers said, "Watch the naval exercise today, what do you think?"

This is military affairs, so Yin Tebu, the Minister of War, took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I personally think that the original coastal naval warships are no longer useful, and all new naval warships must be replaced."

Sun Zhenghao, Secretary of Han of the Ministry of War, followed and said: "Your Majesty, I am very different from the sails of this Western warship and the Qing warship. The requirements for artillery shooting are also very high. Just replacing the warship is useless. The coastal navy must be abolished and the navy cannon will be used to protect the Qing Dynasty's sea border."

Kangxi nodded secretly when he heard this. Sun Zhenghao had some eyesight and broad enough. He asked him to assist the Fourteenth Old Man in managing the Navy. He was a good candidate.

In the 35th year of Kangxi's reign, Ma Qi, the minister of Shangshu, followed Kangxi to personally conquer Galdan. He pondered a little, and then said: "Emperor, from the perspective of the slave, naval warfare is very different from land warfare. Land warfare emphasizes the arrangement of troops and formations, and is flexible and changeable. Although weapons are important, they are not the key to victory. However, naval warfare focuses on the strong ships and the sharp artillery, and it is impossible to win without this. This great victory in the naval warfare is all about the sharp artillery. Prince Xun said very pertinently. You must vigorously carry out artillery and improve warships to be invincible."

The eighth prince Yinsi glanced at Ma Qi with dissatisfaction. The fourteenth brother is now showing off, and you are still talking to him. What does it mean?

Song Zhu, the minister of Shangshu, is also an old military affairs officer. He served as the commander and general. He also followed Kangxi to personally fight against Galdan. He also stood up and said: "When I watched the naval exercise, I realized that the naval small warships were fast and the artillery was fierce, and it seemed to have an advantage over the large battleships. I thought it was appropriate to build small warships vigorously."

Kangxi also felt very much like this when he heard this. Moreover, the cost of the small warship was far cheaper. He couldn't help but glance at Yinzhen. Yinzhen cursed in his heart, and he was so short-sighted that he had to come out and say: "Emperor, the Spanish Far East Fleet is just a temporary small fleet, and the naval small warships can still win it. However, if they encounter a large-scale fleet composed of hundreds or hundreds of battleships, it will be useless. If they encounter a first-class battleship equipped with forty to sixty-eight pounds, the small warships cannot withstand a single shot at all."

Everyone was shocked. What was the situation like a fleet of hundreds or hundreds of battleships? Kangxi was surprised by the artillery of forty to sixty-eight pounds, and such a large artillery?

In order to avoid these short-sighted ministers misleading Kangxi again, Yinzhen continued to say: "Emperor, the reason why I have held this military exercise is to let the ministers witness a fact with their own eyes-the age of firearms has arrived, and whether it is naval or land war, firearms have begun to dominate the war.

What you see today is naval battle. The day after tomorrow, please see the power of land war firearms.”

In Tianjin City, although Prince Yinreng no longer had much hope for his trip to Tianjin, he still had some luck in his heart. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Tianjin, he deliberately ate and bleed, vomited and had diarrhea, and was weak all over. After Kangxi condemned the imperial physician to take the pulse and diagnosed it as true, he ordered him to stay in Tianjin for recuperation. At the same time, Prince Jian Yaer Jiang A and Bei Zi Sunu and the other two led a thousand cavalry camps to stay in Tianjin.

Yaerjiang A and Sunu arrived in Tianjin but could not watch the naval exercises. They felt depressed, but they also knew that Kangxi wanted them to monitor and prevent the prince. They were both pioneers of the prince, so they naturally knew that the matter was important and did not dare to slack off at all.

Yinreng suffered for two days in Yanxue Tower, but he had not waited for any news. He was completely disappointed. If the naval warship exercises cannot be successful, there would be no chance for the land exercises. Kangxi brought tens of thousands of troops to Tianjin this time, and even when he went out to Mongolian tribes, he had never had such a large lineup. I think it was like guarding against the old 14th Navy.

Yinreng frowned and leaned on the recliner, but was at a loss. As soon as he arrived in Tianjin, he wanted to ask about any position in the Navy. However, he had not even seen a navy acquaintance, and did not know where the royal family members had gone? Although he stayed in Tianjin, he was seen by Yaerjiang and Sunu, and did not dare to do anything abnormal.
