Chapter 795 Danger is eliminated in the bud Seventy taels of silver per land, which is equivalent to seven taels of silver per mu of land, this price is very low, if ordinary workers want to buy land, a month's salary can buy five or six acres.Even humble traders can easily buy a few dumps of land, while big businessmen or wealthy people now prefer to build farms.Buy thousands or tens of thousands of acres of land in one place, build a huge dock fort with reinforced concrete, dig wells in the fort, store good grain, and defend it for several years even in the face of enemy encirclement.Some wealthy people who are not bad for money like Huang Siming, like Huang Siming, build their own manor in Mobei or Liaodong, in Hainan or Luzon, and even the Indochina Peninsula can also build their own manor, when they have nothing to do, they can spend a vacation and enjoy the fun of travel.Tourism, for ordinary people, was originally a very luxurious thing, the Ming household registration system, is not to allow people to leave their household registration within a hundred miles, once you need to stay away, then you need to find the government to open a road.However, in the whole Ming Dynasty, this regulation was cancelled, but adopted a new type of ID card, each Ming people have their own ID card, with their own ID card can be used throughout the country, casually out of the city into the city, pass the customs card, without any restrictions.And the people in the solution of their own food and clothing problems, but also began to have a new pursuit, in the whole family of the Ming Dynasty, people who have gone to primary school can call themselves scholars, middle school students are habitually called Xiucai, because there is also a certain proportion, so once this village out of a student can be admitted to middle school.The whole village will be a sensation, and as for being admitted to university, it is even more incredible.Although university students are no longer free of charge as before, they can apply for financial aid from their schools and the government.Although the treatment of college students is not like the free privileges of the Ming Dynasty, the employment of college students is not a problem, and it is a sweet spot belonging to various government departments or large enterprises.In this way, the flow of people has been greater, and along with the flow of people, the government-run post stations can not meet the needs of people's travel and rest, and various private wine shops, teahouses, and hotels have also begun to appear one after another.In the process of subtle change, the people of the Ming Dynasty have clearly felt that the old habits are no longer applicable to the Ming lifestyle, and only going out is better than nesting in the poor countryside to have a future for development.Just like in the European expeditions, there was a unique group of people, most of whom were merchants, and they were small merchants with very small capital.In the whole Ming Dynasty, the myth of getting rich overnight in business is gradually extinguished, and now is not the tide period, the tide period is a pig standing on the crest of the waves, and it can fly.Now it belongs to the second development opportunity of the Ming Dynasty, which requires a certain amount of courage, and only by stepping out of the Ming Dynasty can the myth of getting rich be realized.After sailing along the way, the transport ship has been loaded with various crop seeds, ores, and plant specimens, which he has painstakingly collected on the continent and various islands along the way, and they will become powerful evidence.Sri Lanka, in ancient China was called the Lion Country, as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fa Xian had arrived in the Lion Country, in the following hundreds of years, the Lion Kingdom had to China Eastern Jin Dynasty, Southern Dynasties and Tang Dynasty, respectively, to pay tribute to China, is also one of the countries with a long history in China.However, as early as 1521, the Dutch repelled the Portuguese and occupied the Lion State.Just as the European expedition was about to leave the Lion Nation, a merchant ship belonging to the Dutch began to follow them.Huang Siming, who was on the guard mission, discovered the anomaly as soon as possible and reported it to the expedition colonel Liu Bingren on the radio at any time.Liu Bingren is a native of Xingzhou, in the first year of the Apocalypse, because he was dissatisfied with the rich man in the countryside embezzling his family property, Liu Bingren, who was just 14 years old at the time, was angry and killed, and killed the rich man Liu's family.Quan Xu led the daimyo Qing Zhuangbu archers to capture Jiming Village, captured Liu Bingren, and saw that he was a backbone member of the Diamond Forest Leopard, so he let Liu Bingren undergo labor reform.This was actually the opportunity for Liu Bingren, who worked in the shipyard established by Quanxu and became a trial pilot of the first Exocet warship.Later, he joined Quanxu's Naval Academy for further study, participated in all the battles of Quan's navy since its formation, fought the Dutch, fought the Spaniards, and also fought Zheng Zhilong, and even in the battle to capture Luzon, he led the Exocet fleet to sink four armed merchant ships of the European Combined Fleet.Liu Bingren was not careless about the tailgating of the Dutch, while ordering all the warships to prepare for battle, and at the same time, paying attention to the movement ahead.In the battle at sea, the Flying Fish warship has the advantage of speed, but the speed of the fifteen armed merchant ships is one or two knots slower, however, Liu Bingren is not worried, if he dares to fight here, he will use practical actions to tell the Dutch that the Ming Royal Navy is not something they can provoke.As the queen of the palace, Huang Siming did not think that the Dutch dared to do it, this is the east, there is still a long way to go from Europe, according to the guide, they are only halfway through the trip.The armed merchant ships of the Dutch were slightly faster than those of the Ming Dynasty, and the Exocet slowed down in order to take care of the armed merchant ships.has been walking with him, and he has been safe for three days.It wasn't until the fourth day that the sea, which had been relatively calm, was stormy again, and after a night of hard fighting, after the loss of some spare rudders, there was finally no danger."
Dear Liu, the sea ahead is full of reefs, you must be careful."
Liu Bingren immediately ordered a half-sail to go slowly, this headland is surrounded by reefs, narrow channels, coupled with strong sea winds, it can be described as dangerous, a careless person may be blown to the reef by the sea breeze and smashed.The sailors of the Daming European expedition were engrossed in the rudder and controlled the sails, for fear of accidents.However, after passing through this dangerous sea area of the devil ship, the Dutch merchant ships behind them changed from one to three.As an excellent naval commander, Liu Bingren knows very well that the so-called merchant ships in Europe are basically like pirates, they will only take the initiative to do business fairly when they can't beat each other, and if they have the strength to destroy their opponents, they will become pirates.Sailing in this era differed from later generations mainly because of the fear of supply and danger, and the routes were all along the continental shelf.In particular, when entering the Red Sea, where there are many rocky islands and coral reefs along the coast, even if the Exocet warship has a speed advantage, it cannot be used."
I entered the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in front, passed through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, entered the Gulf of Aden, and the road was much smoother!"
The lanes in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait were narrow and stormy, which made Liu Bingren feel faintly uneasy, and when passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Huang Xiangming suddenly saw through the telescope that the three Dutch sailors behind him were untying their gun suits."
Not good!"
Huang Xiangming immediately ordered: "Report to Commander Liu, the Dutch's merchant ship gunnon suits have been withdrawn, be careful of their black hands!"
”Liu Bingren's voice came out of the radio: "Huang Siming, your head was kicked by a donkey, within the range of our Ming Navy guns, it is a hostile act to withdraw the gun suits, kill them!"
”"Yes!"
Huang Xiangming immediately ordered: "Everyone, prepare, target, six hundred yards, five to the east, five to the wind, pay attention to correction!"
”As soon as Huang Xiangming's words fell, the two guns in the stern of the Flying Fish 94, which had been prepared for a long time, began to roar.Two orange-red fireballs erupted from the barrels, and two shells spun and flew towards them!
The captain of the Tulip 5 brushed it, his face turned pale, and the Ming navy was firing at them!"
God, these Chinese are the first to strike!
How dare these damn yellow-skinned monkeys provoke the mighty United Kingdom of the Netherlands!
”In fact, it is not really that the Dutch want to sneak attack the Ming European expedition, because entering the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, it is closer to Europe, and it is closer to the mainland of the Dutch, and the Dutch also know that the traditional sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty is in the Strait of Malacca, which is no longer their territory.This means that even if they provoke the Ming Navy, the Ming Navy will not dare to provoke a war easily, after all, this small fleet is not the opponent of the Dutch at all.However, the problem is that the Ming Navy opened fire like this, and as soon as it fired, it directly hit a near-miss, and the shells set off waves like a heavy rain, drenching the captain with a chicken in the soup."
Right rudder, fire back!"
After the Dutch captain gave the order, the Dutch gunners hurriedly ran to the combat positions."
Boom, boom, boom, boom......"
As the port side of this armed merchant ship was aimed at the No. 94 Exocet warship, the Dutch port guns opened fire at the same time, and the sound was like rolling thunder, and more than a dozen lead balls screamed all the way towards No. 94 Exocet!
Their movements were not slow, and at the same time that the gunner of the Flying Fish No. 94 pulled the gun rope, it also lit the fuse of this war.At the same time as the ninety-fourth opened fire, the other ships quickly rushed to the upper hand.However, in the second salvo, the tail cannon of the No. 94 Exocet hit the target, and two large holes were carved out of the left hull of the Tulip 5 armed merchant ship, and the fire swelled out, and the Dutch sailors in the cabin were blown to the ground.Although the No. 94 Exocet fired not a sulfur incendiary bomb, it was just an ordinary high-explosive bomb.However, even two high-explosive bombs still cost half a life to the Tulip 5 armed merchant ship, and the sea water rushed into the hull from the left chord, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, the Tulip V armed merchant ship began to tilt......
"Damn Xiyi dares to attack my Ming Royal Navy, and they must not be let go!"
”Liu Bingren's order for a decisive battle.Another dazed Dutch merchant captain was hit by the gun's gunning side of the 133rd Exocet warship, and the high-explosive bomb blew the mast to pieces, and the sawdust on the mast, like shrapnel, hit the captain's head, bursting his brain, and he died on the spot!
