Chapter 823 is an incredible thing for the Ottoman Empire, but for the Ming Dynasty, it is just a normal thing.Of course, the Ming Expeditionary Force did not carry a large amount of reinforced concrete, and these materials belonged to Helena purchased during the Ming Dynasty to build castles to defend against the Ottoman Empire's attack.Just steel, Helena bought 20,000 tons, it took more than 30 large ships to load, and more than 30,000 tons of cement, if it wasn't for Helena to buy 55 large transport ships from Daming, she wouldn't be able to fit these things at all.After seizing Homz, Yang Yandong was prepared for the Ossian Empire to counterattack, but the problem was that Holmz's port was too small, not to mention the entire Ming Expeditionary Combined Fleet, even if it was a transport ship, it could only dock more than 30 ships at one time.This is very unfavorable for Daming.Yang Yandong discussed with Helena, he embezzled this batch of reinforced cement first, in order to make up for Helena's transportation costs, in the future, Helena can get twice as much reinforced concrete in Daming.Helena naturally agreed, with the arrival of the Ming expeditionary force, the pressure on the Venice city-state republic has been greatly reduced, and the current Ottoman Empire may not be able to take care of the Venice city-state republic, they should have a headache how to deal with the Ming Royal Navy.Helena handed over these steel bars and cement to Yang Yandong, and Yang Yandong asked the naval officers to hurry up the construction, there was no way, and other construction projects in the Ming Dynasty were built for the recruitment of people in the private sector.However, the navy was in the port and wharf, and the initial construction of these places was completed by the naval officers themselves, after all, their combat range was far away from the Ming mainland.Including the Marine Brigade, the army infantry of the 14th Division, worked together, divided into three shifts, day and night.Whether it's the Marines or the Royal Army, they are disciplined forces, more disciplined than craftsmen and can carry out such large-scale works better and faster.Of course, the Ming Dynasty has no technical barriers to the construction of the port, and there is no difficulty in construction, after all, in this era, due to the draft of wooden warships, it is not like later generations, it is often more than ten meters, especially the 300,000-ton giant ship, and the draft is more than 20 meters.Therefore, the port wharf work in this period was not as huge as the later projects, the shell plate was fixed, the steel cage was tied, and then the mixed cement was poured into it, and after the vibration, everything was alive.In fact, the wharf of Hedong Port was built in a modular way, and it took just over 20 days for the huge wharf of 7,500 meters to be built.When the one-month cement hardening period is up, it can be directly put into use.As for the houses on the streets, it was even simpler, and the prefabricated houses were extremely simple and very convenient to assemble, in fact, the barracks that could accommodate fifty or sixty thousand people were completed in just three days.It can be said that this is a city that makes the Ottoman Empire feel miraculous, and for the Ottoman Empire, the most incredible thing is because of the Harry family, Holmes is under the management of the Harry family, and the Harry family is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.How did the Harry family agree to give up Holmes?
You know, the Harry family is a professional rebel, and they even dared to resist Mohammed II, which once made Mehmed II, one of the greatest sultans in the history of the Ottoman Empire, helpless.In fact, Yang Yandong was very simple to the Harry family, with three machine gun crews, plus a mortar crew, less than fifty soldiers of the Ming Royal Army, against the five hundred cavalry of the Harry family, and fought a record of 397 to 0 in just a quarter of an hour.The Harry family understood that the Ming Royal Army was not something they could afford to provoke, and no matter how brave the warriors were, they would turn into a pile of minced meat in front of the Ming Royal Army.So, the Harry family took the three hundred silk horses that Yang Yandong gave them, and evacuated Holmes in a hurry.Of course, Hedong City is said to be a city, but in fact it is only a semi-permanent military camp, with no city walls on the periphery, only three moats and three barbed wire fences.The trench barbed wire tactics of the Ming Dynasty proved to be an effective set of tactics as early as the First World War, not to mention, it was also fully tested in the Battle of Quang Ninh.Now there are three steps and one post on the street, five steps and one sentry, so that Daoud?
Pasha was so upset that he lodged a serious protest with the translator."
You tell them that we are the emissaries of the Ottoman Empire, not prisoners of crime, and you must give us justice!"
The interpreter cautiously translated to the Ming army, but he looked at the cold eyes of the soldiers of the Ming Royal Army around him, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say the words behind.Some people, indeed, just one look can make people feel endless fear.When Li Xin returned to the headquarters of the Ming Royal Navy, his face was full of exhaustion.Yang Yandong looked at Li Xin and said with a smile: "What's the matter, the negotiation didn't go well?"
”"Yang Shuai said with a smile, how can it be smooth, if someone asks Daming for Henan, do you think His Majesty will agree to negotiate?""
How is this possible?"
Yang Yandong said coldly: "Whoever dares to let Da Ming cut the land, it will not die!"
”"The problem now is that the place we want is no less than Henan for the Ottoman Empire!"
Li Xin smiled a little helplessly: "Do you think the Ottomans will easily admit defeat?"
”"That's just as well!"
Li Xin looked at Yang Yandong and said: "Yang Shuai, it's better to be ready to continue fighting, this Ottoman Empire's tone is getting tougher and tougher, and this Daoud?
Pasha's real identity is only an official of the outer court of the Ottoman Empire, and his real identity is only a bathing official!
”This official position cannot be said to be a lowly official position, if you insist on comparing the Ming Dynasty, then Daoud?
Pasha's position is equivalent to that of the Taifu Siqing.In any case, he is a high-ranking official at the provincial level, but he is only an official who serves the bathing of the Sultan, and he does not have the power to decide foreign affairs, let alone the ability.He even put forward the idea that the Ming envoys should go to Istanbul City to negotiate.This proposal was a testament to the Ottoman Empire's sincerity in the negotiations.After all, now the two sides do not communicate all over the place, and even the most powerful ministers, they do not dare to leave Istanbul easily, and in the end, it is Mudra IV.Yang Yandong smiled slightly: "Actually, don't worry, we haven't been idle!"
”In the General Staff of the Great Ming Expeditionary Force, all the staff officers did not think that the problem of the Nile Delta could be resolved through negotiations, even if the Ottomans did not want to give.Then just grab it.Although the Ming Expeditionary Force deployed many troops in Hedong City, in fact, these troops were also bluffing, and the main forces of the Marine Brigade and the 14th Division had withdrawn from the Persian Gulf with the main fleet.Their goal is very clear, that is, to go straight to the Red Sea, take advantage of the naval superiority of the Ming Navy, and knock all the cities along the Red Sea coast to them.Now we want to talk about Egypt, Egypt, like China and ancient Babylon, belongs to the four ancient civilizations, but the problem is that as early as 2,500 years ago, Egypt was conquered by the Persian Empire, and then by the rising Macedonian Empire.Then, it was conquered by the Roman Empire and then the Arab Empire in 1517 by the Ottoman Empire, and has since been a province of the Ottoman Empire.This time, they welcomed the fleet of the Great Ming.Suez, in fact, was a port city long before the Suez Canal was opened, and at this time it was the naval port and commercial port of the Ottoman Empire.As early as 27 April 1541, Estevo da Gama led a Portuguese fleet to raid the port of Suez, which was under Ottoman control, in an attempt to capture it, but was forced to retreat due to the Ottomans' heavy defenses (Battle of Port Suez).On the morning of August 7 of the first year of Dingxin, as usual, as soon as the sky was brightened, Suez City began to be lively, and suddenly the bell rang rapidly.Countless late risers are still cursing the bell-ringers, greeting each other's female relatives in vicious language.At this time, the Ottoman soldiers on the city walls, ports, and batteries hurriedly ran to their combat posts.At the same time, on the narrow sea of Suez Bay, there were overlapping sail shadows densely, and Liu Bingren, who had just been promoted to rear admiral of the Royal Navy, led his warships to sail towards Suez."
Stop......"
Liu Bingren hurriedly ordered: "All ships are ready to shoot freely!"
”With Liu Bingren's order, a roar sounded, and rows of shells flew towards Suez City.The first test shot hit the walls of Suez, and the Ottoman defenders were shocked to see the strong walls collapse in the explosion and fire, and the city walls were blown to pieces, throwing the soldiers guarding the walls into the sky like ragdolls, and then raining down a shower of blood.Such a bloody and terrifying picture frightened everyone to turn pale, out of their bodies, and stand there in a daze, unable to speak.Before they could react from the shock, the second shot, the third shot.The shells fell like raindrops, and the city gate, which was originally quite orderly, was thrown into chaos, and thousands of people bombed the camp at once, and the people in the city ran desperately out, and the people outside the city desperately squeezed in, and I don't know how many people were squeezed down and trampled into a ball of meat sauce under the trampling of each other!
The port was the focus of attention, and the dozens of Ottoman naval warships that were huddled in the harbor were blown to pieces or broken into torches before they even had time to raise their sails."
Boom ......" another volley of shells flew over, this time landing at the crowded city gates.The cannonballs smashed into the pile of people in a daze, exploded with a bang, and the flames burst out, and all everyone saw was a terrifying picture that could not be seen in the blood pool of hell.I don't know how many people disappeared without a trace in the flash of the fire, arms and thighs flying wildly in the air, flesh and human organs, falling like rain.PS: I'm very sorry, but it collapsed with WPS, and Lao Cheng can only rewrite it, which is very out of state.I'm guilty, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
