The naval guerrilla commander got his wish and met the Princess Dai. Of course, he would not leak the news. But when the Princess Dai slightly revealed that the princess was not used to this Jiangnan boat,
**** patting the chest please
The princess entrusted such small things to him, isn't it because the princess is seasick? Those boats were bumpy, and the princess' golden body certainly felt uncomfortable. However, there are many large ships in the navy, so one or two were allocated as the ships for the princess and the princess.
And guards, what's the problem?
Three days later, two Navy patrol ships with 400 materials appeared at Jining Pier. Qian Wubing and his party boarded the warships. As for Fang Tong's cargo ship, they had no choice but to set off on their way first.
When the battleship left the dock, Zhu Yunniang's mood improved inexplicably. Qian Wubing just thought that she had never boarded such a huge battleship and felt fresh everywhere, so her mood naturally improved. Zhu Yunniang did not explain, she
She was in such a happy mood just because it was Qian Wubing who had left that charming woman in Jining, and she finally no longer had to be wary of that woman sneaking into Qian Wubing's room day and night when she wasn't paying attention.
When Benson and a bunch of European bumpkins boarded the battleship, their eyes glowed green. Although the officers and soldiers on the ship did not allow them to go to the gun cabin below, they just looked at the row of gun ports along the side of the ship.
, which already made them speechless. Especially when Benson learned that such
Warships with four hundred materials are just the most common items in the Ming Dynasty's fleet. Although it is no longer comparable to the thousands of ships in the Yongle period, no matter which fleet (navy) of the Ming Dynasty
It won't be a problem to pull out dozens or hundreds of ships.
Benson's worldview began to be somewhat subverted. In his opinion, the most powerful fleet in the world should only be the Portuguese fleet. Even though he was regarded as an abandoned son by the fleet commander because he was afraid of the Ming Dynasty's force.
In this empire, he also believed that the most powerful thing about the Ming Dynasty was its army. However, no matter how powerful the army was, it could not go to sea.
It’s no wonder that this country bumpkin has such subversion. Before this, before he had no backing, Qian Wuyi, how could he have the opportunity to get close to or even board the Ming Dynasty’s naval battleship to see what happened. Just this battlecruiser with 400 materials,
There are twelve large cannons equipped, and there are also some smaller ones. He doesn't know the number, but he estimates that the number must be small.
No more. He could clearly see how the soldiers were armed on the ship. In addition to the necessary short weapons, it seemed that muskets had also become the standard equipment for the soldiers on these ships. After reading this, he looked at his subordinates and thought again.
Thinking about what would happen if his White Crane encountered such a battleship, his heart went cold.
In terms of firepower, there are only four cannons on the White Crane. Even if all of them are hit, the ship will not suffer much damage, let alone sink immediately. However, if the White Crane is hit by a salvo from the opponent,
, I'm afraid not even the scum will be left. Well, this won't compare, the firepower can't compare with others,
You can also get close to the ship's side, or even seize the enemy ship, but what about this slippery musket, or what about those military devices on the ship that are not obvious at first glance? Fighting against such a warship,
What's the difference between this and seeking death? I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to board the ship.
Benson was very hurt. As a qualified naval officer, after doing countless calculations in his mind, he came to a fact that he had to admit. As long as the navy of the Ming Dynasty had basic qualities, he
The proud Portuguese fleet would have no chance of victory in the face of such a fleet. What hurt him even more was that the Ming Dynasty had a national power that he could not even imagine, and such a ship was actually not bad.
There are no battleships, their numbers are despairing.
He began to be somewhat grateful to the fleet commander who sent him ashore and then happily ran to India to make a fortune. Without this opportunity, he would not have this understanding. And with his previous somewhat ridiculous self-confidence, once he met and
When the ships started fighting like this, he didn't even have a chance to regret it.
"Surprised?" Qian Wubing seemed to feel the frustration of the guy next to him, and asked a little funny.
"God loves this empire so much!" Benson muttered. He didn't even want to tell Qian Wubing how much a blow such a warship had to him.
"Why don't you say that God loves you!" Qian Wuyi said happily: "Does it mean that if you are given a warship like this, you are not willing to be the captain?"
"Give it to me?" Benson is not a fool, and this Lord Qian is not a naval admiral of the Ming Dynasty. He does not believe that the other party dares to directly steal a ship from the navy and use it as his own private ship. If this is the case, this
The empire is too corrupt.
"Of course, it's not a small boat like this!" Qian Wubing was full of arrogance. Such a boat could shock Benson, but he didn't know how shocked he would be when he saw the thousand-material armed merchant ship built by Eunuch Liu.
.
"Yes, what do you think I hired you for? Of course, to be my captain. Do you think you are more useful on this land than warriors like me?"
Benson's eyes lit up. This was made of four hundred materials. Isn't it twice as big as the one with one thousand materials? After living in the Ming Dynasty for so long, he understood the method of calculating the size of the ship. He closed his eyes.
I couldn't help but sketch the situation of commanding such a giant battleship to cut through the waves, and I couldn't help but feel agitated in my heart: If this is really the case, then my life will not be in vain!
"I'm looking forward to it, respected Lord Qian!"
"Two armed merchant ships, one for your people and one for Grisha's people. Of course, your manpower may be somewhat insufficient. At the destination of our trip, the sailors should have recruited many, waiting for you to choose.
Your mission is to protect the safety of my fleet!" Qian Wubing said slowly, as he was about to arrive in Nanjing, he should make some things clear.
"Your will!"
"Princess Grisha will also own an armed merchant ship. Although you have no subordinate relationship, you must get along well with each other. I am not only saying this to you, but I will also say the same to Grisha.
Say, if you find each other doing something detrimental to the fleet, you must report it immediately. If the situation is urgent, you can use force as appropriate!"
In the face of such force, of course there should be restraints! Benson was not surprised at all by Qian Wubing's words. As for the other party's talk of recruiting sailors, he had no doubt that among the sailors who were about to board the ship, there must be this one
Mr. Qian's spy, but what does it matter? As long as the captain is Benson, the commander is Benson, and there is no harm in having a few more pairs of eyes around him.
The naval guerrilla commander got his wish and met the Princess Dai. Of course, he would not leak the news. But when the Princess Dai slightly revealed that the princess was not used to this Jiangnan boat,
**** patted his chest and asked the empress to leave such a small matter to him. Isn't it because the princess is seasick? Those boats were bumpy, and the princess' Jingui body certainly felt uncomfortable, but there are many big ships in the navy, and the deployment is so
One or two boats serve as the queen and princess's ships and escorts, so what's the problem?

The scale of a thousand ships is no longer comparable, but no matter which fleet (navy) of the Ming Dynasty pulls out dozens of ships, it will still not be a problem.

Or what about those military devices on the ship that are unclear at first glance? Fighting alongside such a warship is no different from seeking death. I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to board the ship.
