boom!

Jianghai's vanguard has another long-distance round. The enemy cannot beat them so far, so they can play styles and fire.

The result of this round of shooting was unexpectedly good. Dozens of shells, and 30% of them were able to hit several large Dutch ships at mid-range.

In front of the rifled guns of the Shandong Navy, the Dutch's oak hull was directly penetrated, which scared them heavily!

This is a big ship, a heavy deck.

No, the light and small ship behind just now can actually penetrate several layers of oak that are five feet thick?

The continuous shootings aggravated the Dutch's uneasiness. The shooting at this distance can still hit the target. The last bit of their morale was also lost!

Because, as long as the speed slows down, they will not only fight against the vanguard of the Ming Navy. There are only more than fifty ships behind them. Are they going to die?

I even fucked, but I won’t look back if I beat him to death. Keep running away. It’s as much as I can. It’s almost dark!

Those who are behind can attract the attention of the Ming people, and can run away for the main warships and increase the possibility.

The Ming Navy was so powerful that it could not be looked up to within just ten years.

This is a desperate opponent!

It feels so incredible!

You know, ten years ago, these Dutch people also passed by the Ming Dynasty for business reasons.

At that time, Europe had very little knowledge of China as a whole. It only knew that this was a vast and extremely rich country.

There is a long coastline, but because the entire country implements a policy of closing the country, the navy is basically 0, and it can barely be considered the army of the Water Commander, and it becomes dizzy as soon as it goes out of the sea.

At that time, they even thought in their hearts that if they were not doing business, they came to fight naval battles, they might be able to fight one or ten, right?

But now, they are coming on a large scale again.

The result was so unbelievable that in just less than ten years, the other party developed such a large navy.

The side cannot fight at all!

Perhaps the Ming Navy was a little awkward in tactic use, but proficiency can be practiced, and the range of cannons is not something you can think of, and it must be supported by technology.

This shows how powerful the technological power of the Ming Dynasty is.

In fact, Zhu Zilong's main fleet also prepared pico shells and modern shells of the junior army. It was just because of the counterfeit steam equipment and the headwind, and the small boats did not move fast without exerting force.

In 1771, the British Wolf treated phenol with concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid and obtained a yellow solid: trinitrophenol, which was used as a yellow dye.

No one expected that this was an extremely powerful explosive, which was so muddyed by the whole world. It took 100 years to use as a dye but has not yet revealed its true face.

Until a full 100 years later, by chance, in 1871, a barrel of picric acid from a dye shop in the suburbs of Paris could not be opened because the iron barrel was rusted, so the man found a hammer and smashed it hard.

With a loud bang, the flames soared into the sky, and the yellow dye exploded violently. The dye shop suddenly turned into ruins, with countless casualties and injuries.

When the French learned about this tragedy, they were ecstatic.

After testing, the explosion speed and explosion energy of picric acid were far higher than that of black gunpowder, so France began to use picric acid for reloading ammunition and applied to war.

Among strong explosives, picric acid is second only to nitroglycerin, with good stability and simple preparation method. It is the earliest violent explosive used in the military. How powerful is its explosion?

Let’s talk about it briefly. The power of black gunpowder is only one-tenth of nitric acid, and the power of nitric acid is only one-tenth of picric acid. That is to say, 1 kilogram of picric acid is equivalent to 10 kilogram of ammonia nitrate and also 100 kilogram of black gunpowder!

Now around 1639, Western powers are still using black gunpowder.

Zhu Zilong prepared picric acid in advance and used it for military purposes. This means he immediately possessed an explosive charge that was more than 100 times stronger than other major countries!

Why did China lose to Japan in later Sino-Japanese War, thus giving up the position of number one in the Asian navy?

The reason is that Japan invented a picric acid explosive that has reached a higher level.

Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it has tasted the sweetness of picy acid explosives, and since then it has been equipped with a large amount of equipment. Even the military power Germany has followed suit. Until World War II, Japan used picy acid raw materials to make grenades and shells.

As night fell, the thirty or forty ships that the Dutch ships came to demonstrate this time only ran away a few. 80% of the ships were either sunk or the people above surrendered.

Monade, who was most afraid of death, was also captured as the highest commander of the team. This was a real calculation, but he didn't count on how bad he was.

As an officer, he was treated well. Even if he became a prisoner, he could live alone in the same house.

It was already late at night outside the window, and a crescent moon was in the sky. Monnede's heart was undulating and it was difficult to fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, the scene of a sea battle would appear in his mind.

Obviously, this is a battle with huge power differences.

When I recalled the whole process carefully, it was desperately numb. Until the moment of surrender, the only one who fought with them was the vanguard of the Ming Navy, only a dozen ships.

Each of them beat three, and none of them hit him, even if he had a shell.

Just think about it and make people feel desperate.

The technological gap between the two sides is so big that an adult is fighting against a teenager. (This is Zhu Zilong's main force, otherwise he wouldn't think so.)

No matter how it is, it should be the level of adults to kindergarten students, haha.

If it weren't for the current strategic focus, it would still be around the Ming Dynasty and to support tens of thousands of miles away to attack Europe, which would seem unrealistic. It would be too rare for now. As for the level of the Zhu family army, let alone the Eight-Nation Alliance.

It was the Eighteen-Nation Alliance, who came from the sea to attack the Ming Dynasty. Who is afraid of whom?

The next day, Zhu Zilong asked Jiang Hai to bring some foreign devils who had already defected to him and came to interrogate the Dutch prisoners.

All prisoners, including Monade, were very cooperative.

After all, those who can surrender are basically afraid of death. Especially in addition to formal soldiers, there are quite a lot of mercenary soldiers among the Dutch.

The European mercenaries of this era, to be honest, are just exchanging their lives for their meals.

But, after all, life is more important. After all, if you make money, you have to spend your life?

They all surrendered, they were not saying anything, they were not patriots.

When it was Monide's turn, his lips trembled, "I can pay the ransom, and hope to be free, can I?"

Jiang Hai was surprised and subconsciously asked: "You have been captured. Isn't yours ours? If you have money, you will hand over it all. As long as we are in a good mood, we will naturally discuss it. For other things, I'm sorry, this is not something I can decide. I need to report to the Duke of China. At the same time, I have to remind you that if he makes a decision, your fate may be worse."
