Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 288 Carpet Bombing

"This is a warship, we can't set off fireworks, get out of here quickly, yellow monkey."

At the dock where the warships were berthed, a Prussian naval officer was sternly driving away the yellow-skinned migrant workers who were setting off fireworks nearby.

"Sir, the general ordered this to be released to celebrate the victory of the war in advance."

The yellow-skinned migrant worker explained the reason with a smile and waved his hand to ask the people behind him to put away the fireworks.

Upon hearing that it was the general's order, the Prussian naval personnel were somewhat dissatisfied, but did not stop it.

"Okay William, these noble gentlemen like to have fun, so let them have fun. Besides, these oriental fireworks are very beautiful."

An old sailor smoking a pipe nearby smiled and comforted his companion, and even waved his hand downwards.

"Hey, man sent me two."

Hearing this, the yellow-skinned migrant worker smiled and personally presented a few large fireworks.

"Head, it's all in place, the position is absolutely correct."

A man walked up to the yellow-skinned migrant worker and reported in a low voice.

The yellow-skinned migrant worker glanced at the large fireworks displayed around him, and the sailors standing next to the fireworks, taking them out and setting them off one by one, and nodded and whispered, "Retreat."

No one noticed that, except for some local indigenous people, the yellow-skinned people who were working to carry the fireworks had disappeared.

"Altitude 2000, wind speed..."

Ten miles away from the port, 10 airships formed a formation and quickly approached the port where the fireworks were rising.

The observer constantly corrected the course and judged its altitude and distance through the sight.

"Bomb crew ready!"

A moment later, the commander of airship No. 1 picked up the intercom and began to give orders in Wenzhou dialect.

The blond and blue-eyed military officer who was watching the fun nearby was speechless when he heard these strange words.

These Orientals would use special words when discussing some secrets.

He considers himself an expert on Yanhuang. Having worked in Yanhuang for so long, he also understands some Yanhuang dialect.

I had originally been thinking of eavesdropping on some things and then going back to see if I could get a position as an airship captain, but now I have no chance.

"The wind speed has reached the standard for bombing distance, and we can drop bombs at any time."

The observer shouted, and Captain No. 1, who was waiting quietly, yelled, "Drop the bomb!"

The bombardier had been waiting, pulling the wrench hard.

Accompanied by the sound of clicking, bombs flew down from under the airship at the fastest speed, falling towards the port where fireworks were still rising.

"Bombing complete!"

"Let's go, don't let them find us."

After receiving the report, Captain No. 1 did not observe the results of the bombing, but directly ordered to leave according to the retreat plan.

He was not sure whether they could hit him or not. They had only conducted a few simulations of night bombings. Today was the first time they put it into actual combat, and at the seaside where the wind direction could change at any time.

But even if they missed, there was nothing they could do.

The bombs have already been thrown. Even if there is no result, can they still shoot at the people below with pistols from the sky?

"William, did you hear any strange noises?"

On the Prussian battleship, the old sailor who was still smoking his pipe suddenly frowned and looked up at the sky.

The young sailor who was covering his ears and watching the fireworks exploding in the sky didn't hear clearly and looked at him in confusion.

"I said……"

The old sailor was about to repeat it again when a firework exploded in the air. In the dazzling light, he saw a black dot falling from the sky and crashing onto the deck in front of him.

"what is that?"

Before the old sailor could even think of doubts, the black spot fell heavily, and then he felt a flash of fire rising in front of him, and his body suddenly flew up, and he no longer knew what was happening.

"Cheers to victory!"

At the moment the bomb fell, in the outdoor banquet hall, everyone who had just finished dancing raised their glasses to celebrate the future victory.

"Rumble..."

"puff!"

The sudden deafening explosion startled many people.

These seemingly elegant gentlemen spat out the wine in their mouths in embarrassment and looked at the place where the explosion occurred in shock.

Looking around, the pier was ablaze with fireworks, explosions were heard one after another, and some fragments of warships could be vaguely seen flying into the sky.

"Damn it, where did the attack come from? My battleship."

The Gallic Rooster commander confirmed the location of the explosion and immediately passed out.

The others were also in a panic. The women let out shrill screams, and the commanders who had experienced the battlefield rushed to the dock in anger.

That's where their warships and weapons and equipment are gathered. If they are destroyed, it will be the end of them.

At dawn the next day, the commanders representing various countries looked at the dock where the fire had been put out, and they were all in tears.

The sudden attack last night caused heavy damage to the dock. Five of the twenty steel warships were sunk on the spot, and seven received various kinds of damage and needed to be repaired, and could no longer sail.

Although the remaining eight ships did not suffer serious damage, they still had some scars and needed a few days of rest.

In addition, more than half of the various weapons and equipment piled at the dock were destroyed.

According to the investigation, one of the explosion sites was an ammunition depot, which contained a large number of artillery shells and gunpowder.

When the attack came, it caused the ammunition to explode, causing greater losses.

In addition to weapons, there were also heavy losses in personnel.

The senior officers were celebrating, and the lower-level officers and soldiers were not idle either. They gathered in the small town at the dock, drinking cheap wine and looking for vulgar streetwalkers.

Because it was close to the brightly lit dock, it was given special attention by two airships carrying light bombs.

This sudden attack caused the support force that was supposed to support the East to be half-crippled before it even set out.

"What the hell, where did the sneak attack come from? Why didn't we investigate it? Was it an enemy warship?"

Gaulxiong and the commander roared angrily, but no one around him responded to him.

It’s not that they don’t want to deal with each other, but they can’t figure out where these attacks come from.

According to investigations, the Ming fleet is still in the South China Sea, stuck in a stalemate with the fleets of various colonies. It is simply impossible for it to travel thousands of miles to get here.

Since it is not the Ming Dynasty’s fleet, who could the enemy be?
"It's the airship. Damn it, we forgot one thing."

Looking at a piece of bomb fragment, the Eagle Country commander threw the fragment in his hand to the ground.

Everyone looked at him, and he said coldly: "Don't forget, Ming sold ten airships to the United States. We received intelligence some time ago that they plan to cross the entire Europe to the United States."

"Since the United States has no airship crew, all the pilots are Ming personnel."

"They are the Ming troops closest to us. They are also the only troops that can attack us silently and leave us defenseless."

After the other party's reminder, everyone reacted.

It seems to be true.

They had just gathered, and only representatives from various countries knew where the gathering place was. It was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to investigate it.

The warships of the United States should have arrived earlier, but they have not arrived yet, and they were attacked at night.

All phenomena indicate one thing, that is, there is a traitor among them, and the most likely traitor is that beautiful country composed of clowns and gangsters.

Thinking of this, everyone present had an ugly look on their faces. The Gallic rooster commander was so angry that he drew the knife from his waist and roared that he would chop the people from the United States when they came.

The Ming Dynasty doesn't care how Western countries cause trouble for the United States, because they have already paid.

"Order all troops to stay where they are to prevent the enemy from making any small moves."

Looking at the continuous heavy rain outside, Zhu Zhanjun reluctantly gave the order to stop the attack.

After defeating the Gallic Rooster's defensive forces, the Ming army continued to advance despite the heavy rain.

But God was a little uncooperative.

There were heavy rains almost every day. We had originally calculated that the heavy rains would stop in half a month, but unexpectedly they got heavier and heavier, and even huge mountain torrents and floods broke out in some areas.

The Ming army's advance was severely slowed down, and logistical supplies almost stopped being transported up.

Zhu Zhanjun had no choice but to order his troops to temporarily stop the attack and make further plans after the rainy season was over.

"I'll leave this to you. As soon as the weather stops, move forward immediately. Don't give them any chance to catch their breath."

Zhu Zhanjun had no plans to stay in the south. He wanted to return to Peking to complete an important task, which was to establish a country and create an era name.

Since overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, the Ming army has been flying the banner of the Ming Dynasty, but has not formally established a country.

The lower-class people and even some officials did not even know the emperor's name or the reign title.

In some places, the reign titles from the Qing Dynasty are still used.

Zhu Pangpang complained about this many times, and finally, after discussion among everyone, it was decided to choose an auspicious day this year to officially establish the country.

The issue of founding a nation is easy to consider, but who will be the emperor is still under discussion.

The second world was founded by Zhu Zhanjun, so logically speaking, it was most appropriate for him to be the emperor.

Given the current international situation, a war could break out at any time. Zhu Zhanjun has to travel everywhere and it is impossible for him to sit in the palace and deal with those matters.

Jia Xu proposed a good idea, which was to let Zhu Zhanjun become the emperor and Zhu Pangpang govern the country.

This method made Zhu Zhanjun speechless. He always felt like he was the emperor and his father was the prince.

Zhu Zhanjun wanted to give his position to his father. After all, the other party had only been emperor for less than a year in history. He might as well let his father be the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty to make up for the other party's regret.

And with the blessing of space, he doesn't have to worry about his father passing the position to someone else after becoming emperor.

Zhu Pangpang disagreed with Zhu Zhanjun's proposal.

In his words, you conquered this world, and as your father, I did nothing. How can I just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor?

So far, the group has not yet figured out who will sit in this position.

Thinking of his father's refusal, Zhu Zhanjun was speechless.

Isn't it said that the emperor is very popular? Why is it that when it comes to him, no one wants to do anything for him?
