The boat is thirty meters long and six meters wide, with a length-to-width ratio of five to one.
The size of the Anzha ship is already very large. This ship is the ship of Vice Admiral Ozohei.
According to Japan's naval establishment, the fleet at the east entrance of Tsushima Island consists of 120 warships, divided into three groups. They are the middle group and the left and right groups.
The supreme commander is the general, Takayoshi Fujiwara. He was born in the Northern family of the Fujiwara family. He is a nobleman with a distinguished background. The Fujiwara family is known as the professional queen family of Japan, and is a hereditary relative. It is similar to the Xiao family of the Liao Dynasty.
In particular, the Bei family is the noblest among all the families. Most of the queens in Japanese history came from their family.
Since the emperor moved the capital to Heian (i.e. Kyoto) in the late 8th century, the Fujiwara family has relied on numerous political strategies to control the Japanese royal family for more than 300 years, and its power was overwhelming.
However, the power and prestige of the Fujiwara family is not achieved by being brave and proficient in battle, but by strategy. In the long history of a thousand years, the Fujiwara family married female members of the family to the emperor, which means that the future grandson of the Fujiwara family is
Emperor.
As a result, the head of the Fujiwara family could influence Tsuna whether in government or in opposition.
His ship was the Shochiku Maru, which was 40 meters long and 8 meters wide. It was located in the middle of the central group. There were 300 sailors, samurai, and iron gunners on board.
The deputy general, Da Zang, also had a very prominent family background and had a special status in Japan.
Because their family is a direct descendant of Liu Bang, a member of the Han clan. Although we don’t want to admit that the eldest son and grandson of the Han clan is in Japan. But there is a strict family tree to prove it, and there is nothing we can do.
The descendants of Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, have always enjoyed titles. When his great-great-grandson Liu Azhi was in the Western Jin Dynasty, he felt that the world was about to be in chaos, and the power of barbarians was rising, fearing that there would be chaos in the country. So he persuaded his uncle to take his uncle's family with him.
Azhi led his son Liu Duhe and his tribesmen Liu Guoding, Liu Taozi, Liu Heming, Liu Xinzi and other men and women, a total of 2,040 people, to cross eastward to Fusang.
After they arrived in Japan, they gave lectures on ship culture, and later changed their surnames and became naturalized in Japan.
At that time, Japan was still very primitive and backward in all aspects. Among the people brought by Liu Azhi, there were a group of highly skilled craftsmen and technical experts, as well as many Confucian scholars. Their arrival also objectively improved Japan's technological progress.
, which has prospered Japanese culture and is therefore highly respected by the locals.
Soon, their family was given the surname "Eastern Han Dynasty Envoy". During the reign of Emperor Nintoku, they were given the surname "Sakagami", and during the reign of Emperor Yuurei, they were given the surname "Ozo". The Ozo clan has controlled finance throughout its long history. To this day,
Japan's fiscal agency is still called the Ministry of Finance.
In addition, the branch Takahashi clan is also a noble family that has been inherited for thousands of years in Japan. According to statistics from relevant scholars, in the 21st century in Japan, there are as many as 47 surnames with Liu Azhi as their ancestor.
These include Daizo, Ita, Harada, Takahashi, etc. These surnames have developed well in Japan. For example, the Harada family is one of the oldest aristocratic surnames in Japan.
In recent years, China's national destiny has been increasing, and Japan is worried about what they have done in history. A large number of Japanese families have begun to find various relationships to get closer to China. Among them, the descendants of the Han clan have taken advantage of the good conditions provided by their ancestors and returned many times.
Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan.
In Japan, the descendants of the Harada family also built an ancestral temple to worship Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, in Fukuoka City, Japan. They also have a family tree handed down from history. According to the family tree records, as of today, they have passed down to the 93rd generation of Liu Bang.

As the deputy admiral of the entire fleet, Ozohei's ship is relatively large. However, a garbage ship with a weird design like the Anzha ship has extremely poor maneuverability and is very slow. Not to mention its high center of gravity, it is not strong yet.
The Hengshan is a first-class battleship built in accordance with the most stringent military standards. The keel, ribs, and transverse beams are all made of steel. The bow also has a bulbous bow with a ram angle. The strength of the hull is very high.
The bulbous bow is not a high-tech one. When Yang Fan was designing the ship, he hired a modern design institute. He also did a scale model hydrodynamic test on the pool. It was determined after repeated revisions. So it is very reasonable and scientific.
The greatest resistance of a ship during navigation is wave resistance. That is, the ups and downs of the waves increase the contact area between the seawater and the ship plate on the side of the ship, thereby increasing the resistance. The solution is to add a spherical shape to the bow of the ship.
object.
This object can artificially create waves. But the crests and troughs of the artificially created waves are just staggered from the crests and troughs of the waves. In this way, the created waves will cut the peaks and fill the valleys of the natural waves, thus causing the side of the ship to
The waves become smaller, reducing the contact area, thereby reducing friction and increasing the speed without increasing engine power.
At this time, Ozohei was sitting on the top platform of the Anzhai boat with great satisfaction. This boat was funded and built by the Ozo family. There is also a castle tower with the family crest on it. Ozohei was sitting on the seat of the castle tower.
Holding a fan in his hand, he pointed forward and said: "Go forward immediately and stop the big white boat."
He originally planned to wait for the white ship to get closer, so he ordered the sailors and samurai to fire iron cannons. This type of matchlock gun was considered very elite by Japan and was far ahead of other countries.
What is interesting to say is that the naval warships of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea had cannons but no guns. They were equipped with small general cannons with handles, Fran cannons, copper-fired cannons, eagle cannons, etc. However, the Japanese Navy
On the contrary, they have guns but no cannons. (The Spanish galleon is a special case.)
Therefore, in Wanli's water battle to aid Korea, the Japanese fleet was basically completely defeated. They were no match in terms of firepower, range, collision, and speed.
The Tibetan flat ship has three floors. The bottom is the bottom warehouse, which is the part with a triangular cross-section. Various grains, fresh water, shells, gunpowder, etc. are piled here. This part is under the waterline.
There are three decks above. This layer has a rectangular cross-section from the beginning. This layer is the rowing layer. Dozens of large oars protrude from both sides, and sailors row inside. They are driven by human power to increase flexibility.
and speed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Above is the second deck, which is the cabin of the iron cannons. The ship's wall panels on both sides are densely covered with matchlock guns, which are the shooting windows of the iron cannons.
Above this level is the first deck. This level is an open-air deck with guardrails. The castle tower is also built on this level. This is the level of the samurai. They are generally responsible for fighting behind the gang.
He is also responsible for protecting the nobles in the castle tower.
As for the small Anzha ships, there are not so many floors. There are only bottom warehouses and a wooden house on the first floor, and the first deck is above it. The cannon crew and sailors are crowded on the first floor, and the cannon firing windows and oar windows are arranged in staggered ways.
Above is a warrior preparing for hand-to-hand combat.
Usually there are one or two masts with sails hung here.
Because of the strong wind at sea, the effective range of the matchlock gun is only fifty meters, so they have to wait until the enemy ship is close to fifty meters before shooting. The long-distance attack of the Anzha ship relies on bows and arrows and iron cannons. Then they rely on the help to jump back.
Help the enemy ship in hand-to-hand combat.
Their tactics are very crude due to their monotonous weapons.
But he didn't expect that this huge black smoke-belching warship was so fast. Seeing that it had just reached a distance of fifty meters, Da Zangping's little fan didn't have time to fall down and give the order to fire.
In the blink of an eye, the large ship squeezed out of the way of the Anzai ship next to it, causing the ship to shake violently and almost capsize. Then it hit its own ship, Nanami Maru, diagonally.
The huge bow of the ship and the underwater collision angle directly penetrated the hull at an angle. There was a loud noise and wood chips flew into the air. Da Zangping watched as the other party's ship's bow suddenly lifted up from the water and pressed against his own ship.
The entire hull made a sour creaking sound, then tilted forward to the left, and watched as it tipped over little by little into the sea. The big ship directly pressed Nanami Maru into the sea, and with a click, the entire hull broke into two pieces.
