“My son is loyal to the country today!”

In the bridge of the Liaodong, the commander of the "Revolutionary Army" Navy, Zhu Chengqi, was sad and angry.The first, the second, the helmsman, and even the lookout hand standing on the mast were extremely sad and indignant—our mother’s was a boat, and I heard dozens of ships across the street.There are seven particularly powerful, the leader is even as big as ours, and the guns are ten times more numerous!

How did his mother fight?

We are dead!

Before the Navy soldiers were ordered to board the ship, the tired and tired flat-haired aircraft was investigated and returned to make a war report.The flat hair does not understand the ship, only that the enemy has a "specially large, a particularly large gun, compared to the Liaodong warship."There are also six warships of the small one similar standard transport ship, and there are many guns.There are also dozens of smaller watermaster ships.”

Hearing this report, Zhu Chengxuan's heart was half cold.He had previously commanded a 50-ton commuter boat, and the shipyard had just launched a 1,000-ton main ship in the first three months.In order not to forget to recover Liaodong, Zhou Qingfeng was specially named "Liaodong".

Because the naval construction was so complicated, Zhao Ze, who was in charge of the shipyard, had to take a ticket of shipbuilding workers and naval personnel to Dongtianfudi for several years to study, and only to ensure the smooth construction of the warship and sea trials.

The Navy is not no other warships, but the operation of warships is complex, the number of naval personnel is limited, it can only be the first to open the big ship.Zhu Chengxuan and others had expressed great joy in commanding such a giant ship - only three months after sea trials, they were ordered to go to sea to fight.

Opponents are particularly strong.

This is just to go to kindergarten, you are asked to go to the doctor, too difficult!

Time is tight, the task is urgent, Zhu Chengxuan and others did not even have time to write the suicide note, and hurriedly opened the "Liaodong" number with a displacement of 1,000 tons.

Because Zhao Ze, who was in charge of the shipyard, did not understand the ship at all, the iron rib shell "Liaodong" was designed by the temporary buddha.So the ship used a lot of fashionable technology.As for these technologies, no one has the bottom.

This year, the normal sailing ship is very positive, but the "Liaodong" is using the shape of the flow of flying shear.The sail ships are high and large, have multiple decks, and cannons are placed in the two port windows.The Liaodong used a very low dry port ratio, and the ship type was low and slender.It had only six guns, all inside the swing turret on the deck of the ship.

Other ship, steam power, propeller propulsion and other technologies are not mentioned, in short, this is a warship completely out of step with the current era.Zhu Chengxuan felt that the ship was too good when he took the ship, but now he wanted him to go to war, but he felt that he was really dead this time - there were dozens of ships on the opposite side, and the artillery was dozens of times more than us.

The so-called "fight to kill the teacher", "Liaodong" is stronger, and the single choice can not be picked.

If it is not related to the whole family, related to their own fate, Zhu Chengqi really does not want to go to war.But now he had to come and fight.Because the commander himself ordered all the enemies to be destroyed, none of them could be let go.Zhu Chengxuan felt that he was really miserable - let me fight dozens of ships on a single ship is enough, even I want to certiate it all!

This is a shameless request.

According to the instructions given by the flat hair, Zhu Chengqi left Lushun Port while writing a moist letter in the corner of his eye in the bridge.Not long after he came out, he hit the Roy fleet opposite the old Iron Mountain Waterway.

The mast of the 'Amsterdam' is higher, the lookouter has more experience, and first discovered the Liaodong, which is rushing quickly, and warns in advance.In the face of this imposing warship, Sir Roy, who commanded the fleet, immediately realized that it was not good - there was too much to do when we met at sea.Whether it is killing people and setting fires or blocking roads and robbing, the victors are never blamed.

Because it is currently the north wind, the Roy fleet's "s"-shaped route to the west through the old iron mountain waterway.The flag bearer of the Amsterdam quickly danced the signal flag and ordered the six armed merchant ships to change course, with a side cross-team facing the north, ready to attack the black-smoke incoming ship.

The sudden change of Roy's fleet made the dozens of counterfeit ships that followed behind them also realize that something was wrong.They are also constantly passing messages, trying to deflect the south to avoid the upcoming battle.On a two-thousand-bred ship, Li Dan, a merchant, stood at the side of the ship with a telescope, and his chest and abdomen were always churning, which was very uncomfortable.

The power of the Daminghai merchants is not small, and the number of rich and enemy countries is innumerable.For example, Li Dan has mastered the route of trade with Japan and made a fortune on the ground, and the maritime forces in East Asia must respect him a little.

But the force is not small but does not mean that the strength is strong, Li Dan's ship is the largest of two thousand materials, about 100 tons.This is far from the large ships of 500 tons or even a thousand tons by a few Western colonists.The ship is twice as big, and the profit of a trip to the sea is at least three or four times greater.He had always wanted a big ship, and the shipman in Nai He Jiangnan would not build a large ship of Western style.

Even if the shipbuilding gap is also greater, the gap between guns is even greater.The development of Western science and technology system began in the 15th and 16th century, whether it is metallurgy or machining, the West is gradually moving away from the East.As a result, the guns in the West are getting better.

Li Dan clearly controls the route and earns a lot, but in the face of Westerners or low.Westerners see that Li Dan is a ground snake, and Li Dan sees that Westerners are crossing the river.Once Li Dan realized that no one in the East could build a design comparable to the Western "Guallen ship", but today it is found that the "revolutionary army" that rose rapidly in the north was not only built, but also made better.

You can sail without sail, which is too convenient in sea trade.The boat still runs so fast, it is even more eye-opening.Once Li Dan Intuitive that the Dutch "Amsterdam" is the top ship, he now feels that the white-painted warship opposite is the real strong.

In the fleet of Jiangnan, there are too many thoughts like Li Dan.Just as these people churned, salivating at the Liaodong, the lookout on the mast suddenly shouted, “The ship is coming towards us.”

Oh, and shit!

The Liaodong not only runs fast, but also is particularly flexible.The word of the seven Taixi ships has not yet been laid out, it turned the rudder to the east, and these "small boats" came to Lidan - most of these ships were sent by the fake Ming, ready to land in the north to disturb the "revolutionary army".Li Dan also came with the bandits and held the purpose of robbery.Although they are numerous, their combat effectiveness is the worst.

Zhu Chengxuan is obviously "the persimmon first picks a soft pinch", even if you are afraid of dying, you will pull a few cushions.

Li Dan and other ships are turning around to hide, they hang the sail after the speed is also very fast, instantly can rush to an eight or ten.But when they looked back, the black-smoke white warship could still accelerate, and it soared to fifteen knots in one go—two thousand-horsepower steam engines that powered the Liaodong, and the shape of the flying shearing line made it possible to improve the speed.

The 15th!

In this windsurfing era, to be able to run ten is fast, and the 15th is to go against the sky!

When the watchmen of the seven Tassie ships gave their own observed speed, the captain of the ship looked at the white warship like God looked at the white ship - because the speed was too fast, the waves in front of the flying shear were churning, there was a kind of smooth chopping waves!

But this is frightening in the eyes of the enemy.

“Spea signal to the ship.Tell it that we are a merchant ship from the Netherlands, and we have no intention of being an enemy.”Sir Roy knew in an instant that although his number was superior, his ship was far behind in performance.This is really going to hit, and the seven ships may not be able to hit the other person - just the speed of these fifteen knots, the "Amsterdam" horse can not catch up.

Is that right, Sir Roy?

No!

They don’t recognize it.He then ordered: "Let the ship in the back draw closer to us, and we must resist the fast warship in a dense formation."Order all gunners to open the guns and load the ammunition ready to fight.We are likely to face a bad war.”

The ship's side is close to the sea, in order to prevent the waves from entering the hull, and the sail battleship is closed with gun doors.If a fleet goes to the port of another family, in order to be friendly, it is to close the gun, even to close the gun, and to allow the port to send personnel to check.Opening the gun door and loading the ammunition meant that the ship was ready for battle and could fire at any time.

The flag bearer of the Roy fleet is constantly transmitting information, but he is commanding the Liaodong Zhu Chengxuan root does not care.He had ordered two boilers to be pressurized, the power lifted to maximum, and painted a large arc on the sea at extremely high speeds.

High-speed large-angle turn, the hull of the Liaodong is tilted, and the side of the ship seems to have to wipe the sea, and the waves are constantly fluctuating.It rowed in front of a merchant ship of a pseudo-minority watermaster and set off a wave.

The undulating waves continued to spread, and the merchant ship moved violently in the distance.The sailors on the merchant ship were hospitable and wanted to die, and they caught things everywhere to fix themselves, but they still stumbled.

This kind of stunt-like practice is only to be able to enter the battle position as quickly as possible, when the "Liaodong" again corrected the hull, the six guns on its deck are aimed at the Li Dan ship that is running away - the two sides are less than 100 meters away, Li Dan looks at the opposite side and shouts at the heart and lungs: "Fire, shoot, shoot!"

A series of bombardments sounded, and the six main guns installed on the Liaodong were fired.

Short-tube large-calibre heavy-lift guns, which are new things specially made by the "Revolutionary Army" after abandoning the conventional sideboard artillery arrangement.Because the current technology can not solve the problem of ship shelling and stability, so the gun has no requirements for range.By the early 19th century, the British Navy was still firing at a distance of 100 meters, because the distance was too low.

Because of the special environment at sea, Zhao Ze, who designed the ship's gun, simply went to extremes.He reduced the number of guns on the Liaodong, made a swingable artillery rail, made the caliber, increased the power, and tried to enter the soul!

Now at close range of 100 meters, the Li Dan ship, which was aimed at the six large-caliber main guns, became the first target to verify Zhao Ze's idea - all six large-caliber oval-shaped solid bombs were sprayed, and the goal was only one-tenth of the displacement of the Liaodong "small boat".

The sound of rumbling cannons spread across the sea, and all six shells hit.

Li Dan's seat was immediately hit hard, and the hull on the side continued to explode.The large-caliber projectile perfectly transmits the lethal kinetic energy he carries, and the internal structure of the target is completely disintegrated.The ship entered the water in an instant, skewed.

The sailors on the target ship did not throw away at the moment of being shot, or jumped into the sea after being shot.Within two minutes, the ship sank.Only a large number of tattered planks and corpses floated on the sea.The sea merchants who have been crossing the sea in East Asia for 20 or 30 years, the big pirates, and the big ship owner Li Dan are so finished.

Killed!
