Chapter 116 Inspection of Coastal Defense (Part 2)
Although Shang Yi did not have a great hope for Chang Guowei's sea ship, after seeing the real warship, she still couldn't hide the disappointment.
I saw dozens of ships mooring at the port, which are different in size. Basically, the first part is narrow, the tail is wide, the two ends are upturned, and the first tail is high.
Shipping. Shang Yi knows that this is a typical blessing boat structure. Generally, there are two to four artillery on the ship.
The blessing boat was one of the "four ship types" in ancient China, but in the Ming Dynasty, it gradually became the main type of shipbuilding. Because of its depth of water, large loading, and small length and width ratio of the ship type, it is generally within one to four, anti -resistance, resistance to resist
The storm is good, so it is suitable for sailing at sea. It can be used as a ocean transport ship and a warship. The treasure boats used by Zheng He goes to the west are mostly the boat type of the boat. At that time, the blessing boat was also the most advanced ship type in the world.
Then, then
But now it has passed for more than 200 years before Zheng He's lower part of the west, and these two hundred years are the period when the big sailing technology has made rapid progress. Compared with the current European sailboats, it is a warship.
In terms of speed and flexibility, the boat is greatly backward. It is more suitable for being a cargo ship or a transport ship, not a warship.
Of course, it is also good to be a cargo ship. According to some calendar records, the largest treasure boat used by Zheng He's go to the west, 44 feet long and four feet long, eighteen feet wide;
, At least 10,000 tons of displacement. Of course, this size has always been controversial, but it has been basically confirmed that the main ship type of Zheng He's go to the west is a medium -sized treasure ship with two thousand materials.
The displacement is more than 1,000 tons.
However, it is such a medium -sized treasure boat, which is also very good. According to the square coefficient 0.43, the cargo capacity of each ship can exceed 400 tons, which is also considered a considerable cargo ship.
There are only three warships of more than 1,000 tons and 11 800 tons of warships.
Unfortunately, among the warships seen by Shang Yi now, according to visual inspection, the biggest ships are only thirty meters long and self. The displacement volume exceeds 300 tons.
The ship is four hundred materials, which is currently the main big ship used among the Mingjun Marine Division.
"Material" is the collective name of the ancient Chinese ship units. It is both weight and area unit, but also a drainage unit. The conversion is very complicated. If calculated according to the displacement, one material is generally equal to 0.5 ~ 0.7 tons.
It is a displacement of 200 to 300 tons, and the load weight is about one hundred tons. It is impossible to carry out ocean navigation at all.
So Shang Yi looked at it for a while, and said, "I think this ship is too small. I heard that when the eunuchs of the three treasures went to the Western in the West, the two thousand ingredients used in the Big Treasure boat, I don’t know if there is any."
Shen Shouchong shook his head and said, "The end of the treasure boat will only hear it, but he has never seen it before. Even his father had seen the treasure boat, what he used was this kind of warship.
It was the largest ship that the court allowed to build. "A pause was paused, and said:" It is private privately, at most it is only five or six hundred materials.
Yi talent. "
Shang Yi also laughed a few times. Zheng He went to the West is the first large -scale sailing activity in the history of the world. It was almost a hundred years earlier than Europe.
Shortly after Zheng He's death, the emperor ordered the ban on the construction of ocean vessels, and then killed the sailing boat with more than two masts. Since then, the crew had to be hired on the boat of the Grand Canal.
The navigation activities in Europe have not stopped, and the new routes were avoided, and the new continent was found to travel around the earth for a week. In the end, the era of large sailing trade was launched, and countries around the world were connected.
Of course, about this, experts and scholars in later generations have also done a lot of scores, but no matter what, the end result is that China gradually weakens, and Europe has slowly caught up with China. Can they change this result?
Therefore, Shang Yi frowned, and said: "Yu Dazhen once said: 'Naval battle has no him, but the big ship wins the boat, the big sabothistan is the big sacrifice of the small man. Langji people live in Macau, surrounded by strong coastal enemies, and they all look at my Chinese tiger. In case of that day, I am invaded along the coast, how can I win by this kind of boat. "
Shen Shouchong listened to Shang Yi, and could not help but evoke his mind. Shen Yourong has been stationed in the southeast coast for more than 20 years. He has a deep understanding of the defense of the southeast coast and the disadvantages of the water division of the Ming Dynasty. In Shen Shouchong, he has been in Zhejiang for nearly two years. Although he has not experienced any large -scale naval battles, he has also seen a large Dutch sailing boat. Every time he sees it, Shen Shouchong is shocked, and his heart is also in his heart. I can't help thinking, why can't Daming build such a big warship? So after listening to Shang Yi, I couldn't help but feel that I met a confidant.
When Shang Yi saw Shen Shouchong fell into contemplation, he knew that he touched his heartstrings, but now it is still clicked, and it is not advisable to follow the topic, so he said, and said, "Commanded, you came to Changguo in Changguo After the Wei, there was no conflict with the Maoyi people. "
Shen Shou Chong Dao: "After returning to Master, after the end of the Chang Guowei, Yueyue went out to sea once, and it was the fleet with the red Maoyi people, but there was no conflict. Also reported to the tour of the tour. "
Shang Yi nodded, and said, "Okay, you take me to board the boat."
Shen Shouzheng has a little bit, and said: "Please follow the end of the future."
When Shang Yi was preparing to get on the boat, he suddenly saw a fast horse and flying along the coast. The Cavaliers came to Shen Shouchong in a hurry. Pirate, is attacking Magang County, please send troops to rescue immediately. "
Shen Shouzheng listened, and couldn't help but look at Shang Yi immediately, gaze with the meaning of asking for instructions.
Shang Yi did not expect that when he came to Chang Guowei, he actually met a pirate. Seeing Shen Shouchong looked at himself, Shang Yi said: "We are the court officers and soldiers. It should be played immediately and rescue the people in Magang County. "
Shen Shou Chong Dao: "Okay, then please order the pirates."
Shang Yi said: "I first arrived in Zhejiang and was not familiar with the geography of the coastal area. I don't know how to fight?"
Shen Shouchong is a straight person who has not resigned. He said: "Malagan County is located on the seaside, and there is only a journey of only fifteen or six miles away from Chang Guowei. Okay to eliminate the pirates in one fell swoop. Adults, please sit in the city. After the end will lead the army to repel the pirate, report to the adult. "
Shang Yi laughed: "What is this? As the chief soldier of Zhejiang, I have both pirates, how can I live in the city. However, the people and horses I bring are not in the water war. I can only attack from the land. In command Shen, just arrange someone to bring the way. "
When Shen Shouchong saw Shang Yi said so, he was not polite, and immediately said: "Okay, adults attack from land, and will lead the fleet to attack from the sea at the end.
In theory, there are more than 5,000 soldiers under the jurisdiction of a health management, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the guards are basically not uniform, and they are also scattered in the five places under their jurisdiction. In fact, there are only more than 800 people. At this time, it is very complete. In most the Aermonus, it is very good to have five hundred.
At present, Shen Shouchong immediately ordered a Baiyong to bring fifty soldiers to Shang Yi to lead the way. He ordered 600 soldiers himself to start a whistle warship. Rush to Magang County.
Although at this time, Zheng Zhilong established the status of the southeast coastal areas of China, the large stock pirates who were able to compete with him such as Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, etc. Formulating is destroyed, but they all have a lot of residual subordinates and are unwilling to invest in Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, they still exist in the form of small stock pirates. It is also in any era that it is impossible to completely clear the work. It was the time and space before Shang Yi traveled.
After the distribution was completed, Shang Yi immediately ordered Luo Yuanbin to gather people, and immediately set off. The soldiers of the merchant army heard that they were going to fight pirates, and everyone could not help but be excited. Go to the county.
Since the merchant army has been playing Gaoge along the way after the south, this time Zhejiang Ping is chaotic, and it is also a horse to succeed, and naturally he has accompanied the soldiers of the soldiers. In addition The great improvement has improved the enthusiasm of the soldiers. Now Shang Yi has served as the chief soldier of Zhejiang, and announced to the soldiers that after the Chinese New Year, the family members of the soldiers will be received in Zhejiang. Fight more, make more effort, save more money, wait for the family members to come and buy a house and live in Zhejiang.
As soon as I heard that to fight pirates, the soldiers realized that the opportunity of meritorious merit was coming again. Everyone's eyes were shining, laughter and laughter. Seeing the straight family's heart, what happened to this group of soldiers brought by the general soldier. How can I hear that I am going to fight, all of them are as excited as fighting chicken blood?
However, with the order of "gathering", the soldiers all stopped laughing and noisy, and according to their own preparation lines. The scene that was still chaotic just now, as if in the blink of an eye, became neat queues, even the battle, even the battle, even fought against. Madu stands honestly and won't move. That hundred households also look straight, but this is the army of more than 2,000 people. How can it be lined up at once.
