In order to continue production, the Southern Ming court really fought hard. This black giant in Dafali City, the estuary of the Yangtze River was a gift from the Dutch to the Southern Ming emperor, the seven provinces in the lowlands! Shi Kefa lacked military strength, and even this huge toy that showed the emperor's authority was brought to the battlefield.

However, this typical Dutch merchant ship with a length of 37.5 meters, three-mast double-layered, equipped with 58 light and heavy cannons, did not disappoint in its performance. It even improved the technical content of the Poyang Lake Battle for more than two centuries until just a ship crossed the estuary of the Yangtze River. When twenty-nine cannons were sprayed here, tens of thousands of Dashun troops were like ants in front of it, stepping on whatever they said.

The Dutch wanted to equip the Nanming to fight Mao Jue's Northern Ming, so they also made a fortune. Not only did the ship of the Lowland Seven Provinces come, but they also brought a first mate and second mate. Amid the shouts of red-haired, red nose, drunkards and ghosts, the confused Nanming sailors hurriedly carried the shells, and the language was not clear, so the ship could not be called overcontrol. But even so, the warships and artillery fire spread there one after another, and the people of the Dashun Army, who were no different from floating objects on the river, were slaughtered in fear.

The rotating grape bounce was spinning rapidly. Even before the whistling sound could be cut back, it caused a scream of fear. The grape bounce used specifically to cut the mast was worthy of the scream. It scratched the pieces and blood splashed out like paint, making Yang Laochai wear all over.

Even the old eighth team in Shaanxi that crawled out of the dead, Yang Laochai had never seen such a tragic situation! The old brothers who were carrying the raft were gone! All the broken legs of different lengths and white bones were left!

Even with Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and other imperial courts surrounding the cannon fire in the sky, the arrows, muskets and other battles coming towards him, Yang Laochai has experienced it, but this is completely different from the war in front of him. In the past, how many people could be killed? If we rushed to the front, we could sacrifice our lives and let us do it and we could fight back for you. Blood can be used to repay blood and teeth can be used to repay teeth! But this is a water battle, floating down along the Yangtze River, listening to the Dragon King of Jiang, from front, back, left and right, and watching hundreds of people harvesting their names. You can only watch it, you can't do it!

The Shun Army's contempt for the Yangtze River is now at the cost of blood. This is no longer a war, or a unilateral massacre, wiping the blood on her face. Yang Laochai futilely raised the one that he had rebelled with for more than ten years, chopping the hatchet heavily, and roared and ordered a futile charge to the seven provinces in the Lowlands.

But when is it now? In June and July, the plum rain season in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Unlike the Battle of Wuchang more than a month ago, the river water is now so fast that it is not recognized by relatives. There is not even a sail. It is difficult to control itself by relying on the large rafts that are rowing, let alone supporting the charge.

On the edge of the seven provinces in the lowlands in the center of the Broken River, Shunjun, who were roaring and roaring, could only watch the Nanming army carrying gunpowder barrels humming a little tune and fill the ammunition into the cannons, and then harvest their lives.

The main battlefield where cannons on the river were shocking and even 100,000 people fought, was stolen.

Shi Kefa was stunned when he raised the telescope high.

To be honest, Shi Kefa expected that Shunjun went downstream and copied his own back, so he didn't take it seriously!

A commander, who knows astronomy and geography, is just a necessary basic skill. He lives in Jiangnan for many years. He has long known that the Yangtze River flows in the plum rain season. If Liu Zongmin really went downstream and attacked the entire army like he did more than a month ago, he would make a profit and land uncontrollably. Not to mention how many people drowned, even if 500,000 people were all ashore, he would have to be divided for dozens of miles. How did Liu Zongmin fight Zuo Liangyu? Isn’t it just cutting and surrounding and destroying each one? The army without command is no more dangerous than the livestock group on the grassland. He has 10,000 people in his hand, and he is sure to catch these people in one go.

What really shocked him was the combat effectiveness of the Lowland Seven Provinces.

This thing is not the first time he has seen it. Last time Mao Jue broke into the three towns in Jiangbei, there were hundreds of gunboats larger than this. After seeing this thing, Shi Kefa did not find it rare. In his combat thought, the water war was still at the level of the Battle of the Three Kingdoms. Everyone set up their own ships and jumped ships and fought each other like the Land War.

The seven provinces in the lowland really shocked him. A boat faced tens of thousands of people, as easy as beating his son. If Mao Jue pressed his main fleet, let alone his 700,000 people, even 700,000 people could not defend the Yangtze River! Since ancient times, the natural danger of the Yangtze River has always been the psychological defense line of the scholars and officials in Jiangnan. Now, this psychological defense line collapsed. What was Shi Kefa feeling?

If you say that people are too smart, at least Chen Zilong didn't think so much about joining the army. He was full of excitement. Seeing the Yangtze River dyed red, he couldn't help but slapped his thighs hard.

"Gei! This kills the thief so well!"

"The Poyang Lake Navy has been defeated, and the river is even more courageous. Pavilion, it's the right time to break the thief! Get this Xifan ship back and let's attack the thief's central army!"

These excited words finally made Shi Kefa come to his senses. After looking at him, he shook his head heavily.

"Blow the trumpet, stop the troops!"

"Why? The thief has retreated. Isn't it a waste of a great opportunity to withdraw troops at this time?"

With no knot, Chen Zilong screamed in shock. He heard that he had already walked back with his hands behind his back, but shook his head heavily again.

"There are 500,000 thieves and 180,000 elite soldiers who have been through the battlefield for a long time, and our army has only 70,000!"

Finally woke up from the victory in front of him. With a sensation, Chen Zilong shook the flag heavily.

"Get off the troops! Give up the troops!"

…………

The shocking Battle of Poyang Lake was temporarily ended with the defeat of the Shun Army. The battle on the lake surface made the Shun Army lose at least 2300 ships and 30000 people, 300,000 people, but the most severe loss was the fearless stormtrooper. Thousands of people who were killed by gunboats should have been killed by thousands of people. I don’t know how many people fell into the river and drowned. Then they went ashore and became turtles in the jar of the official army.

The reason why Liu Zongmin is the second son of thousands of years is that he does not have the courage of Li Zicheng at his peak. In anger, he kicked the flag bearer into the river. He was angry and hummed and drank into his tent and started to relieve his boredom.

Just throw the army down!

After the defeat, the leaders of each battalion who had been going smoothly returned to the camp in disappointment. No one noticed it, right beside him, the strange scene.

"Didn't you say that Dongjiang won't participate in the war? What's going on with the gunship in Jiangxin today? Brother Lu, don't cheat me!"

At the moment of surrender, there was no longer Hao Yaoqi who had killed people like a person before. He was afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. Just like a servant, following Lu Zhong, Hao Dayong asked in fear.

But at this time, Lu Zhong's face was also gloomy. With his hands behind his back, he turned around irritably and roared and shouted: "That's not the ship of Dongjiang! You have been fighting for so many years, can't you tell the white cross battle flag hanging on it?"

He stopped Hao Yaoqi with one sentence, and then Lu Zhong's triangular eyes showed an indescribable and heart-wrenching viciousness. A vicious smile was hanging on the corner of his mouth. He actually started to laugh in a slight hum.

"Okay! Very good! I've been involved in my internal war in the Ming Dynasty! These Dutch monkeys are so good!"

"Easy one thousand five hundred miles to report today's battle situation to the capital!"

As Lu Zhong roared, more than a dozen pigeons flapped their wings and flew rapidly across the turbulent Yangtze River in the rain!

…………

The significance of this Poyang Lake war is not to kill many rebels, but more importantly, it has curbed the unstoppable military footsteps of Liu Zongmin's eastward advance. Therefore, the water battle between Shi Kefa defended in Poyang Lake is actually the most important.

However, the seven provinces of the Lowland were so eye-catching that the highlights fell on the broken ship in the end. When he drove back to the Qinhuai River, Emperor Hongguang brought Donglin and other bigwigs to welcome him, and gave the captain of the seven provinces of the Lowlands of the Lowlands to Nicoland Cassiez Baileymanel, and conferred the ship as General Shenwei.

Immediately afterwards, the bragging problems of the literati in Jiangnan broke out. One shot was fired, and the emperor was defeated for thousands of miles, and thousands of troops were killed in three places. If they were to describe it, the gunboats of the Dutch armed merchant ships in the 16th century would almost catch up with the power of later aircraft carriers.

However, no matter how bragging, the sharp Western warships still touched the minds of the scholars and officials in Jiangnan. Two or three days after the Battle of Poyang Lake, Qian Qianyi personally proposed that the court restarted the Longjiang Shipyard, which was the treasure ship that year, and prepared to imitate this Dutch warship and also build the Nanming's own fleet.

However, at the beginning of this construction, a series of problems broke out again. Although labor costs are not worthwhile in Nanming, shipbuilding is immediately levied, and feeding ship workers is not a problem. The grain in Jiangnan is unsalable and the family members are seriously injured, and the grain is still alive. However, shipbuilding requires wood and a large number of metal tools and construction. At this time, Nanming lacks both wood and iron. Huangshan, the base camp of Huizhou wood merchants, was under Mao Jue's rule, and Bashu, which produces giant trees in deep mountains, was thrown to Zhang Xianzhong again. For example, the ability to build large-scale ships during the Jiajing period and self-sufficiency, Nanming no longer has it at this time.

Secondly, metal tools and shipbuilding wood can also be imported. For several consecutive years, Zhu Yousong has imported a large amount of sums from Southeast Asia! The problem is that shipbuilding is more expensive than building a palace, which requires a large sum of money.

The Donglin scholar-official, who was eager to protect himself, had unprecedented desire for money.

Since Ma Shiying died three years ago and was suppressed to the point where he almost died after the Donglin coup, Jiangnan capitalism, which has finally recovered!

Next to Hangzhou, Fuzhou, which were separatisted by the Northern Dynasties, once again, dense silk manors were built, and the fire in Jingdezhen finally burned vigorously again. After a large number of good ports were seized by Mao Jue, Wenzhou, the forgotten corner, also began to roam, gathering hidden ships in Wenzhou Bay. Jiangnan sea merchants who had not gone to sea for more than two years carried a large amount of southern goods, once again ran to Southeast Asia with excitement.

But they didn't know that Southeast Asia was no longer the Southeast Asia where they were making money three years ago.

Another change is the Southeast scholar-officials themselves.

There are already many commercial streets on both sides of the Qinhuai River. With the relaxation of policies, many small vendors have emerged again. The huge pleasure boats slowly rippled with Qinhuai. Standing at the bow of the boat, watching the place where he once had been drunk and dreamy, the thin and sharp face of Renxue Mr. Zhang Pu finally showed a little smile, but the smile quickly became restrained again.
