Looking at the endless sea level, Chen Dinglan, the commander of the Marine Corps, had a look of defeat on his face.
"Kill thieves. Who doesn't want to kill thieves? How to kill them? I don't know how many aristocratic families are inherently thieves. Whoever doesn't want to kill thieves can beat pirates, privateers, and Yingdao officers and soldiers. Really
A warship?"
Chu Qing was still in shock.
There are only more than 70 ships in the three lanes of the East China Sea, but there are more than 800 ships on the Japanese side. Isn't this nonsense?
Fu San frowned and asked, "Where did you get the news?"
"Do you think that our navy division does not have any ships to cross the sea to Yingdao? There are more than 800 ships, just a lot more, because this news is the news that our navy division came back six years ago."
Fu San sighed.
There are more than 800 ships. It has been six years since then. It is not impossible for the number to double.
"If you can't fight, you don't have enough ships and you don't have the same mind. If the Ying thieves dare to be so rampant, aren't they deceiving me, Dachang, for having no ships?" Chen Dinglan sighed: "That's why I, the boat master, don't dare to fight, and push the Ying thieves into panic.
, the Japanese thieves who pretended to be submissive boarded more ships, pretending to be pirates, one hundred ships, two hundred ships, three hundred ships, three hundred and one ships, three hundred and two ships, three hundred..."
Chu Qing squinted his eyes: "Can you please stop pouring this water?"
"In short, even a mere hundred Japanese warships can turn the three realms of the East China Sea into hell on earth."
Chu Qing's face was as gloomy as water: "That means starting a war!"
"No, we can't start a war. The Japanese thieves will say that those are pirates."
"Fart, the regular army is coming. When the court is a fool, he said it is a pirate, is it a pirate?"
"Dudu is right, the imperial court is not a fool, but just because it is not a fool, it can only hold its nose and recognize it. Even if the officers and soldiers of the Ying thieves do not dress up as pirates, the imperial court will still talk about these Ying thieves officials.
The army is a pirate."
Chu Qing's expression changed drastically: "Because Dachang Dynasty does not dare to start a war. After seeing Yingdao warships and seeing so many Yingdao warships, I know that there is no way to win a naval battle, so I, Dachang Dynasty, do not dare to start a war!"
Chu Qing's whole body felt bad.
This is really the case. If your military strength in some fields is not as good as others, you have to pretend to be deaf and dumb. It is obvious that you are being bullied, but you don't dare to show your face.
"Young Master." Fu San frowned and said, "But when the Ying thief delegation was in Beijing, they were forced by Liao Wenzhi to pay millions of dollars in compensation. Why is this?"
"Yes." Chu Qing also recalled: "The reason why the Japanese thieves dare to be so rampant is because they have many ships and have a lot of experience in naval battles. If they land on land and fight, they will definitely not be able to defeat us. But if they dominate the sea, they will attack the three roads.
There is nothing we can do in Dachang, it means they are already invincible, so why are they pretending to be grandsons and being so submissive?"
"Afraid, they are afraid too." Chen Dinglan shook his head slightly, with a bitter look on his face: "Japanese thieves don't dare to bet. The Supreme Emperor and the emperor are both generals. The Japanese thieves are afraid that they will make me, Dachang, red-eyed.
The whole country can use the strength of the country to build coastal defense towers and build large ships to fight across the sea. I think Zhongzhou has a vast territory and rich resources, and thousands of warships. If we spare no effort in the people, we can build them in a few years."
Chu Qing suddenly realized.
The Japanese thieves should have this mentality. They are powerful in naval battles, but they are also afraid of driving the Dachang Dynasty into a panic. Once the Dachang Dynasty becomes desperate, they will not care about north and south, people's livelihood, economics, this or that, they will do it to death, but once
Doing so will bring Dachang Dynasty to a dead end.
"It is precisely because of this that the Ying thieves will try their best to win over officials and courtiers in Dachang." Chen Dinglan turned his head and looked at Chu Qing: "Although Dudu is young, he is also a talented person. I asked Dudu
Du, if you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Marine Corps, or even the Commander-in-Chief of the Marine Corps, what can you do? If you kill all the aristocratic families, everything will be fine. Or if you force the people to build coastal defense towers everywhere, will you be able to stop the Japanese thieves?
Hundreds of warships? Will sinking a few Japanese privateers mean peace for all eternity?"
Chu Qing looked away.
He couldn't answer this question.
There are many things that cannot be caught up with someone who has money.
Most people in Chang grew up on loess soil and have a natural fear of the sea. If they don't live by the sea, they will never touch a ship in their lifetime. The same is true for the emperors and ministers of the court. They know nothing about naval warfare and do not pay attention to it.
Looking at Yingdao, there are four large islands surrounded by more than 6,000 small islands.
In fact, Yingdao is not small, just like in later generations. Many people have a misunderstanding. When talking about small days, they think it is a bigger place. This is not the case. Japan is larger than Germany and the United Kingdom, except for thirty
In addition to the territory of tens of thousands of square kilometers, there is also an extremely vast sea area.
If Liang thieves grew up on horses, then many Ying thieves grew up on boats.
It is almost impossible to improve Dachang Dynasty's naval combat level in a short period of time.
It was also the first time that Chu Qing learned about this matter. He was more or less aware of other things. He didn’t know the specific details and was mentally prepared. However, the Japanese pirates had more than 800 ships six years ago. It was really difficult for him.
Startled.
Of the more than 800 ships, this does not mean that every one of them can fight, but they can all sail long distances. Even if they cannot cross the sea to the East China Sea, they can still sail long distances. If you fold it in half, it is still more than 400 ships. More than 400 ships, then
Divided in half, there are more than 200 warships, which is three times the warships of the Chang Dynasty.
The most important thing is that these more than 70 warships in Changchao have to defend their territory. They cannot rush to Yingdao to fight in a hurry. If they go, who will defend their territory?
The boat master is also in trouble here. He has been infiltrated. Not to mention that the whole military camp is full of lackeys from aristocratic families. The main reason is that his life is held by aristocratic families. There are more than seventy ships. If one sinks, there will be one less. One less.
, you have to look at the face of the family, and you have to arrange positions for the lackeys of the family, there is no trick at all.
All said and done, the situation is still similar to the situation over at Beibianguan. The court does not pay attention to it, otherwise the aristocratic family would not be able to take advantage of it.
Seeing that Chu Qing was silent, Chen Dinglan forced a smile and said: "This is the boat master. Regardless of whether he is the boat master in Dudu's eyes or not, the boat master is just like that. Avoiding battles is not cowardly fighting. He goes up and down inside and outside."
They all have something unsightly to look at, but not all of them are just drunkards, there are also brave and loyal people who serve their country."
After finishing speaking, Chen Dinglan pointed to the Mohist Revenge on the sea: "That is a good ship, a really good ship. You can tell at a glance that such a good ship can be built secretly without the knowledge of the boat master. What a good trick."
, Come to think of it, Dudu spent a lot of money and many skilled craftsmen to build this ship. I am jealous when I look at it. Twenty ships. As long as there are twenty such warships, I can level the East China Sea. If there are fifty
This ship, I dare to attack Yingdao and settle the old and new grudges. It's a pity, it's a pity. It will take at least half a year to build this ship. It's a pity that this skilled craftsman will not be able to build this ship.
In the hands of a noble family, it is a pity, a pity, a pity to the extreme. Time also dictates, so what shall I, the captain, do?"
Chu Qing's eyes changed, and he asked uncertainly: "You just said that with twenty ships, you can level the East China Sea?"
"Not bad, but a pity..."
"Don't feel sorry for yourself. If there are fifty ships, do you dare to attack Yingdao?"
"Not bad, but a pity..."
"Why don't you wait a minute, what is a pity or not? I'm going to ask you, yes or no."
Chen Dinglan smiled bitterly: "So what, Dudu, don't let your imagination run wild. I don't know how much money it will cost for ten ships. I'm afraid it will cost millions, let alone..."
Wen Ya suddenly interrupted: "Fu Shuai, that..."
"Don't interrupt, Dudu is a cheerful person. Let him know the details of this, so that he can get rid of this unrealistic and false idea earlier."
Wen Ya sighed.
This is because you want to embarrass yourself, don't blame the general for not reminding you just now.
Chen Dinglan still looked at the Mo family's Revenge: "Since Dudu has this ship, he knows that it will take more than half a year to build this ship."
Wen Ya actually admired Chen Dinglan, but she still couldn't help it: "Commander of the mansion, Mo..."
"Don't say more. This ship is just like that. There are no tricks. What's the harm in me and Dudu speaking frankly." Chen Dinglan continued: "Money is one difficulty, time is a big difficulty, and there is another difficulty.
It is as difficult as climbing to the sky. It is this skilled craftsman. Those who know how to make ships are passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. In the Dachang Dynasty, the masters of shipbuilding were all in the East China Sea, and these masters were only a few dozen people.
Ninety-nine percent of them are in the hands of aristocratic families..."
"No, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Chu Qing said impatiently: "Let me ask you, I will get you fifty ships within a year, do you dare to sail to Yingdao?"
Chen Dinglan laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe: "Dudu is really interesting. If you can get fifty ships, I'll be cool..."
"What, you recognize me as your father."
"It doesn't matter if you admit it, Dudu shouldn't be joking."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes: "Just say it's okay, there's so much nonsense."
Chen Dinglan couldn't laugh or cry: "Dudu is serious?"
"What do you think?"
"You have a million dollars?"
"No."
"Then Dudu still..."
"I only have more than 10 million yuan."
Chen Dinglan suddenly realized, and then nodded slightly: "Dudu is really an interesting person. I also have ten million guan, ten million and ten million guan."
After talking about their feelings for a long time, Chen Dinglan thought Chu Qing was joking.
Chu Qing said angrily: "And this ship, if it wasn't built in half a year, it would take less than three months."
Chen Dinglan waved his hand: "Hey, there's more, there's more. With Dudu's ability, it can be built in three days."
"I don't have dozens of skilled craftsmen, but I have about five hundred. Is that enough?"
Chen Dinglan slightly cupped his hands and said, "Dachang Dynasty, I'm afraid we will never find another person as interesting as Dudu."
Chu Qing sighed: "I'm really rich, I have a lot of time, and I have more than five hundred skilled craftsmen."
Chen Dinglan still smiled: "That handsome man really wants to recognize Dudu as his adoptive father."
Fu San next to him looked strange: "Hey, do you know Ma Rujing?"
"You know, what's wrong?"
"You two should become sisters with different surnames."
