Chapter 145 Finale 1

But Yu Xiaotian was not happy for a long time. Just three days later, the boiler of the steam engine exploded during operation, killing a boiler worker and injuring several technical workers on the spot, which made many people afraid of this terrible machine.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not agree and still decreed to continue to improve and develop this machine. It doesn't matter how much it costs, as long as this machine is improved more safely and the output power is greater.

And in the following year, Yu Xiaotian personally went to the state-owned machinery factory in Shunde Prefecture many times, personally leading technicians and some technicians, including experts from the newly established Mechanical Research Office of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to continuously improve the steam engine and carry out experiments.

The early steam engines often have accidents, and they continue to look for reasons and improve them. However, due to the design or materials or processing problems, the original steam engine has a simple and rough structure, high failure rate and low output power. Yu Xiaotian also came to the scene in person and took technicians and put forward a lot of eye-catching problems. Suggestions for improvement, try our best to improve.

After more than a year, more than ten experimental steam engines were manufactured. Finally, in the summer of Chengtian, a formal mass-produced steam engine was finally finalized and successfully tested. After a month of trial operation, the steam engine was successfully finalized and was ordered by Yu Xiaotian. It began to be put into production in batches for the mechanical production of various machinery factories and arsenals as the driving force.

In this way, the machinery industry in China and North Korea has completely got rid of the shackles of relying on water or sharpness to provide power to factories, so that in many places, when there is not enough water to provide power to the factory, relying on steam engines, can provide continuous power output for factories. It has greatly promoted the process of industrialization.

It is said that from this year, China and North Korea have completely entered the era of steam engines.

At the end of August, a large fleet gathered again in Hong Kong. This time, the fleet gathered nearly 100 large sea ships, including huge Galen ships and elegant space-cutting ships. The ship was loaded with a large amount of food and fresh water, as well as more than 20,000 sailors and sailors.

Emperor Chengtian traveled thousands of miles to Hong Kong and participated in this expedition ceremony. This fleet is a standard ocean-going fleet, and its destination is not Malacca. Their mission is to cross the Pacific Ocean to go to New Spain in North America, that is, Mexico in later generations. The conquest has occupied the Spanish forces there for decades, completely expelled them, and occupied the local silver mines. Of course, the territory of the United States in later generations has been transferred to the territory of Dazhong in advance by Xiaotian.

The fleet commander this time is Luo Xianbin, his brother who started with him. Now Luo Xianbin has become the deputy commander of the South China Sea Fleet and has been appointed by Yu Xiaotian as the commander-in-chief of this expeditionary force.

What makes the fleet all the owners more proud is that there are two people who also went on an expedition with the fleet this time. They are Yu Zhenshan, the eldest prince under the knee of the emperor today. This time, they are officially the commander-in-chief of the landing combat force and the deputy commander-chief of the fleet.

The other is Yu Zhenyang, the second prince of the Holy, but his position is relatively low, but he is the deputy captain of a main battleship, which is much lower than the eldest prince Yu Zhenshan.

However, the second prince is from a serious navy background. He is a cadet who graduated from the 12th Naval Academy. He has served in the navy for five years and has been promoted from the original gun commander to the current deputy captain, but anyone knows that after coming back this time, the second prince is estimated to be promoted to the captain without any problem, such as If you make contributions this time, you may even be promoted to the position of deputy commander of the fleet.

The emperor sent the two princes together to enter the expedition army, which shows that Yu Xiaotian attaches great importance to this expedition, and this time they have made sufficient preparations to think of everything they can think of. As for whether they can successfully conquer New Spain in the future, it depends on Luo Xianbin and the eldest prince Yu Zhenhua's performance.

Yu Zhenhua participated in the battle of Japan with Meng Fei a few years ago. At first, no one knew his identity. He was just a company commander of an ordinary company, but in the battle of Japan for two years, Yu Zhenhua made great achievements. At the end of the war, he was promoted to the rank of major and became a deputy brigade commander.

After the destruction of Japan, Yu Zhenhua was appointed as the deputy governor of Donghai Province. He stayed in Donghai Province for more than a year before returning to China, which made public his identity.

It surprised everyone. Only then did he know that he was actually the eldest prince, and he personally led the troops to participate in such a war, and gained extremely high achievements in the war. In two years, he was injured three times and almost died once.

The Chinese in China suddenly respected Xiaotian more. As the emperor, he was willing to send the prince to the most dangerous battlefield, personally lead the army to fight, and die. So who can say that he is not?

Yu Xiaotian's reputation, including Yu Zhenhua at this time, rose to fame in the middle dynasty, and its reputation is so high that it can be said to have reached an unprecedented level.

However, when Yu Zhenhua learned that he was going to send an expeditionary force to North America, he still asked to go to war. He was nodded and promised by Yu Xiaotian and appointed him as the deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force and the commander-in-chief of the landing operations.

It can be said that such an appointment is expected by the public, and no one has raised any objection at all, which also makes Yu Zhenhua finally stand at the forefront of the Great China and North Korea with his own efforts.

Later generations commented on the expedition and said that Yu Zhenhua played a vital role in this expedition. After the fleet arrived in New Spain, he led the landing troops and fought very well. The Spanish army and the colonial army quickly collapsed in front of the large and medium-sized army led by him. The Great and Medium Army successfully won, forcing the Spaniards to finally choose to surrender and completely withdraw from New Spain.

In the following years, Yu Zhenhua returned to China, and the second prince Yu Zhenshan served as the newly established governor of North America. Under his leadership, he basically brought the whole North America under the banner of the Great Middle East.

In the ninth year of Chengtian, he changed Australia to the name of Tai'ao Province, and officially declared the sovereignty of Dazhong over Australia to the world, and no one should cove over Australian territory.

The Spaniards were unwilling to fail. In the ten years of Chengtian, in addition to mobilized a large number of ships and troops to try to counterattack, they also gave up their previous hostile policies with the Dutch, persuaded the king of the Netherlands, won the support of the Dutch, and even persuaded them to be enemies. The British in the state joined the ranks of fighting against the Greater China and North Korea.

The Spaniards, the Dutch, the British, and even united the French to form a huge expeditionary fleet to North America in an attempt to retake New Spain and the whole of North America. The Spaniards promised that if they regained control of North America, they could share the interests of these countries.

So the European Joint Expeditionary Fleet immediately went to North America and fought a fierce war with the sea and land forces there. At the same time, it was known as the Battle of North America.

When Emperor Chengtian learned the news, he immediately mobilized more sea and land armies and went to the North American battlefield to fight against the European coalition forces.

In North America, after nearly three years of fierce naval and land warfare, the European Combined Expeditionary Fleet finally failed, and the landing army was almost annihilated by the whole army of the Dazhong Army. This time, the last battle of the Spaniards almost lost their entire country, because They lost most of the warships, and since then they have been completely depressed, and there is no possibility of recovery. After the defeat, there was also civil strife in Spain on the mainland of Europe, which became torn apart.

As for several other participating countries, they also suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw to Europe. After this war, the naval forces of the whole Europe suffered huge losses and could not be recovered for a long time.

Later, Europeans refused to easily admit their failure and continued to send many privateers on the frequent routes of the large-China and North Korean fleet, launching attacks on the warships and merchant ships of the Great China-North Korea, and the two sides launched a naval battle for several years.

The large and medium-sized navy sent a large number of high-speed skimming ships on the main route as a counterattack force to deal with those European pirate ships operating on their routes. Finally, because of the huge advantages of the large and medium-sized navy' high-speed skimming ships, it completely defeated the prey ships sent by European countries and sank and captured them with injuries. A large number of enemy ships and sailors forced them to finally order the withdrawal of these plunder boats to reduce the losses of their personnel and ships.

In the 12th year of Chengtian, the Great, Medium and North American Expeditionary Force captured Peru, which was controlled by the Spanish, and then captured Santiago, that is, later Chile. At this time, Greater China and North Korea has become the world's largest colonial country, with the title of a real sunless empire, and colonies are all over the world except Europe. In addition, almost all continents.

In 15 years, the Dazhong army entered India, put India under the jurisdiction of Dazhong, and completely controlled all commercial trade to Europe.

In the winter of 151, under the strong force suppression of the Dazhong army, the Dutch East India Company announced its surrender to the Greater China North Korea, handed over the island of Sumatra and the Strait of Malacca to the Greater China North Korea, withdrew from Southeast Asia, and announced the end of the Dutch colonial rule over Southeast Asia.
