The head of the Yongping easily split the waves, and on the blue sea, it was like a cheerful elk walking lightly and elegantly. Behind it was a fleet of dozens of merchant ships loaded with various supplies. At the end, the Zhongping steam warship broke the back. On the left and right sides were some steam speedboat guards.

With the migration of time, intelligence from the West showed that war was imminent. Half a month ago, the last piece of information returned to the Ming Dynasty, which showed that all the left-behind intelligence personnel had evacuated, which means that the war had arrived. The Ming Dynasty seized all time to transport as much war materials as possible to the Manila waters.

The first fleet that completed the modification has gathered at Manzhu Harbor, and the second fleet is ready to go. These two fleets are both the steam gun fleet of the Ming Dynasty, especially the second fleet led by Zhou Li. It is a new type of warship designed and manufactured based on the characteristics of steam guns. It has faster speeds and stronger firepower. The Yongping and Zhongping are two of them.

The third and fourth fleets led by He Ying and Zhou Baozhen are still old-fashioned sail warships with weapons such as thunderbolt fire due to time. But even so, the combat effectiveness of these two fleets is still not inferior to the combat effectiveness of the legendary Western fleet.

In the past two years, the National Security Bureau of the Ming Dynasty has tried every possible way to send intelligence personnel to the West to collect military intelligence from the other party. For the Ming army, this strange army has slowly formed a clear outline in their minds. It is indeed a force with strong combat power, but it does not exceed everyone's psychological endurance, or they are stronger than Qi State, but in the eyes of the Ming soldiers, they are still not enough to see it.

The Western Tiger Dynasty was still an army of cold weapons. The Ming Dynasty is now transitioning from cold weapons to hot weapons. Within the range of artillery, the Ming soldiers did not think who would be their opponent.

The forces of the Tiger Dynasty invaded the east were beyond the expectations of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally a force of tens of thousands of people at most, which was already a huge number for the cross-sea expedition. Unexpectedly, the Tiger Dynasty actually dispatched tens of thousands of troops at one time.

This made Qin Feng and the people in the Ming Dynasty shake their heads. This was a completely lonely gamble. The Tiger Dynasty was fighting to support the war, hoping to take down the Manila waters in one fell swoop, and then use the resources of the Manila waters to support this army, and then plan to advance eastward.

They don't seem to consider the consequences of their failure in Manila.

Once they fail, they will become a drifting army on the sea, without logistics, no supplies, thousands of miles away from home, and almost no room for a turnaround.

This kind of fighting method that can only be killed and then live was almost never adopted after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Now when the Ming Dynasty is in war, if the situation is wrong, the first thing that I think is to retreat to preserve my strength, and then after all the conditions are met, launch a fierce counterattack to seize the lost territory. Without considering victory or defeat, Qin Feng has been emphasizing the principle of combat.

Because the Ming Dynasty is not the kind of country that cannot afford to lose. The failure of a war cannot change the overall situation. Looking at the long term is what the Ming Dynasty really needs to consider.

Although the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty disdained the short-sighted approach of the Tiger Dynasty, in their opinion, the commanders of the Tiger Dynasty who formulated this strategy should have been killed ten thousand times, but in terms of tactics, they still have to pay attention to it. Once the Tiger Dynasty really wins the Manila waters and stands firmly, the trouble will be quite big.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty had no intention of sending an army to Manila to participate in the war. It only planned to attack the navy and the navy and marines, and then the local armed forces in the Manila waters fought against the Tiger Dynasty. However, after learning about this information, the Ming Dynasty court still revised their combat plan.

Emperor Qin Feng even decided to go and meet His Majesty Dansi of the Tiger Dynasty for a while. As a result, the Emperor's personal soldiers, the Fire Death Camp and the Ruijin Camp, the most elite unit stationed in the Central War Zone outside Yuejing, will go to the Manila waters to fight.

All the warships of the Second Fleet were originally going to protect Emperor Qin Feng to Manila, but because His Highness of the King of Qi had to go to Manila in advance to inspect the defense situation there, the Second Fleet sent two steam warships under Yongping and Zhongping to escort His Highness of the King of Qi.

Although the Ming Dynasty was full of confidence in trust and li, it was not slacking off in preparations. Lions fought against rabbits and tried their best. This has always been the creed of the Ming army's combat. This time, except for the four fleets of the court, all the armed merchant ships of maritime merchants were also requisitioned. The combat effectiveness of these armed merchant ships was not bad. The sailors on the ship were basically veterans who retired from the Ming navy a few years ago. The weapons on the ship were also eliminated by the First and Second Fleets. There were also many weapons on ship-borne thunderbolt cannons, crossbows, catapults and other weapons in the warehouses were no longer available, so they were sold to these armed merchant ships. While making a lot of money, they were also preparing for this sea battle.

More than 100 armed merchant ships were also an important force in the Ming Dynasty's war.

Most of the ships transporting supplies this time were such armed merchant ships. This was an extremely huge armed force. They had the ability to destroy a country when they went to any corner of the sea.

King Qin Wu of Qi stood on the command tower with a smile, watching his personal soldiers training on the deck below. Fan Chang was indeed the King of Hell of the new recruits. In less than a month, he had already curbed the thousand young masters and soldiers to obey and post. These people, whether in terms of cultural or military qualities, were actually lucky players of the Ming Dynasty. What Fan Chang had to do was to remove their arrogance and then make them wolf-like. Now Fan Chang has successfully completed the first step, turning these thousand young masters into a cruel character that looks a bit scary. But in Fan Chang's eyes, if they really want to have the wolf-like nature in his mind, it would take several battles to truly let this wolf-like nature soak in their blood and bones.

The previous second lieutenant was far inferior to the army in front of him, but if he met on the battlefield, Fan Chang believed that winning would be the second lieutenant. Battlefield combat is not a skilled skill in the martial arts world, but a higher military literacy is just a prerequisite for victory, but it is not an absolute option.

He had read a lot of historical books, and he was very clear about the fact that Molo, the rebels of Qianyue, led a group of peasants holding sticks, almost swept the Qianyue. It should be noted that the Qianyue army at that time was almost the same magnitude, whether in terms of equipment or military qualities of soldiers, the two were almost on the same level, but the one who won was Molo's rebel army.

But when Molo's rebel army met the Taiping Army, which had only a few thousand people at that time, they were immediately defeated.

At a corner of the deck, more than a dozen soldiers wearing shorts were kneeling on the ground, holding a rag, wiping the already shiny deck and all the facilities on the ship. These were some losers who completed training with quality and quantity as well as training. After getting on the ship, Fan Chang asked the captain of the Yongping for this task.

It is necessary to keep the warships clean. This was originally a lesson that sailors had to complete every day, but now it has become a punishment subject for the soldiers of the Death Camp. The sailors naturally enjoyed seeing it. Cleaning the warships was not an easy task.

Qin Wu was very satisfied with Fan Chang, which made him more convinced that it was the right decision to ask his father to ask Fan Chang to be his own personal guard commander. These thousand people did not grow up under Fan Chang's hands, but they have changed their appearance now. Whenever he saw Fan Chang's bent legs kicking hard on the butts of the soldiers, he would feel an inexplicable pleasure. I had suffered this loss back then! I can't bear it, but you can't bear it?

After he fucked the bullshit Tiger Dynasty and returned to Yuejing City, his father would be handed over to his entire suicide camp. At that time, he would have to let Fan Chang rectify it well. Although the suicide camp will also join Manila with his father, Qin Wu did not think they would set foot on the battlefield. Compared to the Ruijin Camp, the current suicide camp is really much worse. Whenever he thinks of Yu Xiu'e of Ruijin Camp, Qin Wu's scalp tightens. It's a real tigress. It's ridiculous that he thought Wen Wan was virtuous. It turns out that the elder he saw during festivals was coaxing him! If he hadn't sneaked into the Ruijin Camp once and witnessed how this female general taught his subordinates a lesson, he would have been kept in the dark.

This time, the commander of Ruijin Camp was General Yu Xiu'e, and his husband, Huang Hao, was in charge of Yuejing. In fact, every time Qin Feng wanted to leave Yuejing, there would be a confidant general who stayed behind. The wild dog in the past is now a monk.

Turning his head and looking at Fan Chang beside him, fiddling with the Ming Dynasty 1st style issued to him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "General Fan, do you like this gun very much?"

Fan Chang smiled and picked up the Ming Dynasty Style 1: "This thing is great. With him, even if I meet a martial arts master, I will be confident that I will kill him."

Qin Wu smiled knowingly. In this way, he heard from his father that when the hot weapons develop to a certain stage, they will inevitably become a nightmare for martial artists. Of course, the current Ming Dynasty Style 1 is far from meeting this requirement. Qin Wu heard from his father's description of something called a machine gun that can fire out dozens or hundreds of bullets in the blink of an eye. No matter how powerful a martial artist encounters such a thing, he will only be killed as a hornet's nest.

In the future, martial arts may only become a kind of body-strengthening thing.

The hero violated the ban with martial arts. Qin Wu heard such arguments from his teacher, Duke Fu. Imagine that if it weren't for a martial arts master like Moro, how could Yue Kingdom be so chaotic?

The arrival of hot weapons will end this era. No matter what kind of master you are, you will be shot by a row of guns and everything will be over.
