On June 16th, the eighth year of the Apocalypse, it was sunny.

Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao Port, three o'clock in the morning.

"Here you come!"

"Your Majesty and the Royal North Sea Fleet have arrived!"

"Wow! This scale can catch up with our Royal Guards East China Sea Fleet!"...

At this time, there were already dense soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet gathered on the huge bluestone pier. Everyone stretched their necks and looked towards the sea.

Suddenly, as several water-driving ships slowly entered the harbor, the milky white warships and transport ships slowly showed their figures, and the soldiers suddenly burst into a loud cheer!

Everyone has been looking forward to the arrival of this day.

It can be said that since His Majesty the Emperor sent a secret order to send troops by the Da Jin Eagle to the hands of the fleet commander Zhong Chuxiang and the new chief of staff Wu Xilin, as the military order continued, the soldiers were thinking about it day and night, waiting for the arrival of this day.

When His Majesty the Emperor arrives, it means that the Ming Empire's attack on the Southern Ming puppet dynasty will slowly start.

The Royal Guards East China Sea Fleet, which had been formed for half a year, can finally officially go out of the house and start your own pace of traversing all over the world.

God knows how much effort and sweat the soldiers have put in for the arrival of this day. In addition to the frequent suppression of bandits and training, the soldiers’ daily work is training and training.

You should know that this half-year-long training of recruits is unprecedented among the various legions of the Ming Empire.

If it were the Army, I would have never known how many battles had been fought.

Although the naval training is not much the same as the army, the training of recruits in the past six months has almost made the soldiers anxious.

The large fleet brought by His Majesty the Emperor had thirty Leopard cruisers, two hundred No. 1 Big Blessing Ships, and one hundred No. 2 Big Blessing Ships.

In other words, the military port of Jiaozhou Bay is extremely large. If it were Lushun Port, it would never stop all the ships of the two Royal Navy fleets.

Although these big blessed ships are also very large, the No. 1 big blessed ship is about nine zhang long and the No. 2 big blessed ship is about eight zhang long, but it is not enough to see compared to those leopard cruisers.

These greatly improved Dafu ships are as tall as a building. The No. 1 Dafu ship can accommodate 200 people and the No. 2 Dafu ship can accommodate 150 people.

These big blessing ships have a sharp bottom, wide open bow, high tail, and about 3.5 meters of water draft. Each big blessing ship is equipped with six generals of Shenwei, one at the beginning and the tail, and two on both sides.

These big boulevard ships have three floors of wooden buildings on the ship. They are all protected by plates and are protected by thatched bamboos. They are erected like walls, with improved soft and hard sails on both sides.

There are four floors in the middle, the lower floor is equipped with ballast stones, the third floor is a fresh water cabinet, and the second floor is the place where the soldiers live.

The uppermost floor is a terrace, which requires climbing up from the escalator on the third floor, and using wings as railings on both sides. People lean on them to fight, and muskets and cannons are all fired down, which is a powerful weapon for naval battles.

Of course, now that we have leopard cruisers, these Dafu ships are basically used as transport ships and will not be used as main warships.

Although they have improved the hard sails and soft sails, their speed is much faster than before, they are still far behind the leopard cruiser.

The speed and combat effectiveness of these Dafu ships were modified extensively, and were about the same as those of Western Garen ships.

However, because of the new Shikigami General Cannon, the firepower would be overwhelming the three-masted and four-masted Garen ships.

After all, these divine general cannons have a longer range and greater lethality than those of Westerners' cannons, long cannons, heavy cannons, etc.

The current Western warships fired solid bullets, chain bullets, shotguns, etc., and did not develop practical flower bullets. Dance God Electronic Book

Their cannons are measured by solid bullets fired. For example, the red-clothed cannon that seriously injured the wild boar skin was a twelve-pound cannon, and a shell weighed twelve-pound.

The leopard cruiser is different. Although it does not look as high as the Big Fortune Ship, it has a displacement of 3,000 tons. Its size alone is more than twice as large as the No. 1 and No. 2 Big Fortune Ship.

Compared with the size of the ship, in this era, it is estimated that only Zheng He’s treasure ship can crush the current leopard cruiser.

The largest Garen ships in the West now have a displacement of about 1,500 tons, far from keeping up with the current size of the leopard cruiser.

Each leopard cruiser can carry more than a thousand naval soldiers, but the previous Dafu ship was only loaded with about one hundred people, and there is no comparison between the two.

Half an hour later, the large fleet that came from the north began to enter berths one by one.

Zhu Youxiao was also the first time he came to the Shandong Peninsula of this era. He had just walked out of the imperial ship building and looked at this extremely huge Qingdao Port with interest.

The first thing that caught my eye was the bluestone pier everywhere. On the side of the piers, big warships and big blessed ships were slowly mooring by a navy soldier.

The milky white warships were filled with the clear water and blue sky. The scene was extremely huge, making people unable to help but feel a strong shock.

Indeed, only Zhu Youxiao's Ming Empire could have made such a big deal in this era.

You know, thirty years ago, when the Spanish Invincible Fleet and the Royal Fleet of England started a decisive battle, all the ships on both sides were not as large and neat as there were now Qingdao Port.

That was one of the largest naval battles in history.

The soldiers of the two sides participated in the war, with only tens of thousands of people, had already created a popular super sea battle.

When three or five days later, such a huge fleet suddenly appeared in Yuegang, Fujian, you can imagine how great the shock it would have!

Just thinking about it makes people very excited. Even Zhu Youxiao's calm mood is inevitable.

Between the bustling harbor, another half an hour passed without realizing it, all the ships had been moored, and the soldiers also came to the side of the big wharf to gather together.

"See my emperor!"

"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"

"The Ming Dynasty has been ten thousand years!"...

The soldiers had just lined up to complete the army and paid a visit to Zhu Youxiao who had just arrived at the big wharf!

The shouts shook the sky, frightening all the sea birds flying around, and chirping in the sky.

"The family of all the ministers is peaceful!"...

Zhu Youxiao held a 3 super tweeter and comforted the soldiers a few words, asking everyone to get up.

Then, teams of soldiers from the North Sea Fleet who came from afar dispersed, led by soldiers from the East Sea Fleet, and made various final preparations for the expedition that was about to start at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Long-distance voyage is not that simple. All kinds of fresh water must be prepared, especially the large jars, soybeans, mung beans, etc. used to generate bean sprouts, and many other fruits and vegetables that will not rot so quickly must be prepared.

When sailing at sea, the most feared thing is sepsis. Zhu Youxiao, who came from later generations, could not have been unaware of it.

From the beginning of the formation of the two Royal Navy fleets, he emphasized the necessity in this regard.
