Chapter 268 Battleship
Horse City smiled freely and continued to talk about Western history. The behavior of Nordic viking encouraged the pirate spirit of Britain, the island nation. As islanders, the British always yearned for the sea and were timid. On the one hand, the sea was in their lives.
The importance makes them full of longing for the vast sea. On the other hand, the mysterious sea makes them fear. The unique spirit of the Nordic vikings' advocacy and pioneering spirit of adventure have evoked this.
The desire and ambition deep in the hearts of an ancient nation.
The commercial behaviors contained in piracy itself hit it off with the mercantilism pursued by modern Western countries. Since the Tudor dynasty started its overseas expansion, a large number of pirates have encouraged the development of overseas colonies and the development of mercantilism in the British government.
Under policy stimulation, he acted as a pioneer in detecting the ocean world, overcoming all the way for Britain to carry out maritime plunder and trans-ocean colonization, and made great contributions to the British colonial rulers.
The British ruling class also strongly supported and even participated in the plundering activities of pirates. This phenomenon was particularly prominent during the reign of Elizabeth I. The famous pirate Drake was even awarded the jazz throne by Elizabeth I in 1581, and Elizabeth himself was also
This is called "Pirate Queen". In essence, this social phenomenon is a true reflection of the pirate spirit being vigorously promoted in this island country.
The Donglin Party in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was still spitting, and Western pirates were already plundering the whole world.
A brief Western history opened the eyes of Qi Jin and Nan Juyi, and even forgot to drink wine, was fascinated by the fact that Ma Cheng thought about turning back and letting Sun Yuanhua write this Western pirate history into a book
, letting Wang Wei and Liu Zihua publish and sell them in Jiangnan, it should have a great impact on Jiangnan culture and many benefits.
Nan Juyi was already sarcastic and glaring at him in his defense: "A such a shameless person dares to be the emperor, but he is still a woman. Where is the axiom? What kind of morality is it!"
Ma Cheng naturally snorted coldly: "The axiom is only within the scope of the cannon."
A sentence lit the acupoint of Nan Juyi and froze. He had just fought with the Dutch in Penghu. He should know that the Western guns and cannons were so powerful that the Ming Dynasty was far from as strong as the Ming Dynasty.
The ranks of officials like Nan Juyi who were on horseback and dismounted to control the people naturally understood that the benefits of Westerners' warships and naval artillery made the Ming navy, which had been abandoned for many years, almost unable to resist. Speaking of the battle of Penghu that day, it was true that Nan
Juyi said with a sad expression. On that day, the southern governor offered a heavy reward, with fishermen from Fujian, righteous men as dead soldiers, and three hundred fire boats as the leader. The main force of the navy followed behind, and suffered heavy casualties to defeat the red.
Mao Fleet.
The five hundred dead soldiers were almost completely injured and the Fujian Navy also sank more than ten main warships and was unable to fight again.
Ma Cheng heard the corner of his mouth twitched. He had known that it would have been like this, the dead soldiers, fire ships, the late Ming version of the meat bullet charge, and the master's slaughtered by random punches. The powerful Dutch Expedition fleet was defeated without any wickedness. The Fujian Navy used it.
There were nearly a thousand ships of all sizes, and the Dutch Expeditionary Fleet only used seven main battleships, which could defeat the Fujian Navy in such a terrible way.
Qi Jin had already heard this and said in a daze: "Is the Western warship really so sharp?"
Nanjuyi pondered: "Western warships are thin and long, with four-masted ships very fast. The bow and stern ships are equipped with cannons on the sides, and there are two cannons at the beginning and the tail, but there are two upper and lower gun doors on the side.
More than twenty years later, the cannon was thick and long and each cannon would be decayed for ten miles, and the Western artillery was also extremely sharp."
Qi Jin said in horror: "A warship opened more than forty gun doors. Wouldn't that be a moving city wall?"
Nan Juyi said in a deep voice: "No, that Western warship cannon is more sharp than the nine-sided important towns."
Qi Jin couldn't help but shivered and was scared. A red-haired man's main battleship was equipped with more than 40 heavy artillery pieces. The firepower was even stronger than Jinzhou City, which was really amazing. Ma Cheng was just silent and Nanjuyi defeated him.
The Dutch Expeditionary Fleet should be equipped with the advanced Garen warships that were popular in the early 17th century. They are serious battleships. The powerful firepower of the seven battleships can be imagined. The tragic battle of the Penghu naval that day.
Nan Juyi said in a deep voice: "That day, the navy soldiers approached the enemy ship, and when they reached three or five miles, thousands of red-haired ships suddenly fired in one after another. The scene was really earth-shaking."
Ma Cheng was relieved. At this time, the Dutch naval combat tactics were restricted by artillery casting technology and were still in the stage of short-range artillery battles, which gave Fujian naval divisions the opportunity to attack and fight on the fire. In a few decades, we waited for the West.
The warships became bigger and bigger, and the naval guns became heavier. After gradually using linear tactics, the Ming navy had no chance to launch a surprise attack at sea, and had to be beaten with his head in his arms. The stupid and slow blessed ship
It is also a product of the Chengzu period. It has been more than 200 years behind the times. The shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty has stagnated for more than 200 years, which is a pity.
All three of them were drunk, and Nan Juyi cried even more bitterly, and cried as he slapped the table and cried all over.
When he woke up the next day, the southern governor went to the yamen to work. Macheng and Qi Jin started to dispatch the navy to the North Korean National Secretariat to meet the pirate Li Dan, located on Danluo Island in southern Korea. The soldiers were at Fujian Naval University.
Outside the camp, there were few warships in the water camp, only three or two kittens. After asking, I found out that most warships went out to sea with General Yu Zigao to practice. Such a disrespectful approach made Qi Jin yell and curse. It was inappropriate.
Being a human being.
Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, Zhejiang soldiers advanced to the empty water camp, Macheng was speechless. The Fujian Navy was the famous Yu family army, founded by the famous general Yu Daqiu. After Yu Daqiu's death, his son Yu Zigao was the general, and he still attacked Yu.
The banner of the name, but the essence was lost in decades. General Yu was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the favorite minister of Ma Cheng, and his relationship with Nan Junyi was also very stale.
Ma Cheng's face turned cold. Compared with a loyal and wise man like Qi Jin, this descendant of Yu Shuai was the most distinctive military leader of the Ming Dynasty. He was domineering, short-sighted and incompetent. General Yu was the governor of Nanju.
Yi held it firmly, but vented his anger on Ma Qi, who was also the general, which clearly showed no face. In terms of official positions, the three were on the same level, and it was no wonder that General Yu was on the territory of Fujian Navy.
.
Yu Zigao was extremely dissatisfied with the Yu family's army in the Penghu Sea Battle.
Looking at the old warships on the water village, Ma Cheng grinned, and only two broken Western warships made Ma Cheng's eyes lit up. He looked at Qi Jin and led the crowd over. Two four-masts
Western warships were severely damaged and were dragged randomly to shallow water. The parts on the warships were almost dismantled. After inspection, it was found that the keels of both warships were damaged and could no longer be repaired for combat, which was a pity.
Ma Cheng felt a deep regret and his nameless fire. Yu Zigao was really short-sighted, without any of his father's demeanor, and a tiger father, a dog son. These two main Dutch warships were obviously not made by the Netherlands, the Netherlands
People do not have such advanced technology. This is probably the big deal of the Spanish. The most advanced Garen warship of this era is almost immeasurable. You should know that the Spanish Invincible Fleet only has 180 main battleships.
The cannon was just overturned, and even the keel, deck, and even the mast were removed. This should be a good thing that Yu Zigao did.
