380 Turtle Ship

Zhang Dingguo had some complaints at first, but when he heard that the group leader seemed to care about him, he felt a little better and looked at the handwriting displayed carefully.

"If you are in Hong Chengchou's army, you can find Lu Ruipeng, a soldier from the East Factory; if you are the Bai Gan Army, you can find Zhang Fengyi, the general of the gang, and her husband is Ma Xianglin." After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he thought for a while and added, "I asked them both to say hello to you, they are all in the group."

Zhang Dingguo was surprised to see it. He didn't expect that among the people who were pursuing the rebel army, there were two people in the chat group. For some reason, when he thought of this, he suddenly felt a little kind of intimate.

After a while, Lu Ruipeng chatted with him privately: "Little brother, listen to the group leader, come to me if you have anything to do, just say it's my cousin from afar!"

Just after the private chat, Zhang Fengyi lost her private chat: "If you can leave the thief, it's better to leave as soon as possible. How about I send you to study with my sister?"

Zhang Dingguo just watched these two private chats, and there was no movement for a long time and no reply.

Emperor Chongzhen no longer cared about him because Gao Yingyuangang talked about him privately and reported that Jianlu had reinforced him again. However, the Jianlu who came this time were not all elite, and there were many people from the Liaodong ethnic minority, not all young and strong.

It seems that Jianlu's troops in the hinterland of Liaodong should have been almost allocated, right? Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself that he first sent a message to Liu Wang and asked him to tell Sun Chengzong that the military power had gathered nearly 20,000 people on the side of Manguertai, so that the front line would pay attention to the movements of Jianlu.

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen's mind turned to the Korean Peninsula. He didn't know where the main force of Jianlu was? If the main force of Jianlu was besieging Nanhan Mountain City, then Lu Xiangsheng could set off.

While he was thinking about the situation in North Korea, he was far away on Pi Island. Although the cold wind made the flags rush, many people gathered in a simple dock not far from the dock. Among them, there were Xu Fuzhao, the actual ruler of Pi Island, Chen Jisheng, the highest official title of Pi Island, and the North Korean Navy. They were all very interested, looking at the bow of the boat that was about to be launched in the dock.

In front of them was Li Zhiqi, the thief who had once crossed the sea. He pointed at the boat with pride on his face and said loudly: "The conditions here are simple, but the warship that I have transformed by me, dare to say that it is invincible in this sea area!"

Everyone looked at it and he transformed the outside of the ship with four layers of protection, namely broken nets, raw cowhide, and wet quilts. The water jar was hung back in the other week.

Li Zhiqi introduced proudly: "My ship cannot enter the gun and the fire cannot burn it. The battle at sea has become invincible. Moreover, this ship is high and has obvious advantages against the enemy ship from a high place. I want to hide it from you, this is one of my capitals on the sea!"

He was right. On the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, he fought for hegemony with Zheng Zhilong. He relied on such a big black ship to make Zheng Zhilong beat him up repeatedly. In the last battle, Zheng Zhilong first poached his general Zhong Bin, took away a large number of ships, and then joined forces with the Dutch in Taiwan to completely defeat him.

However, after hearing what he said, the North Korean naval general Li Jinlei was a little dissatisfied. He could speak Chinese, so he shouted to Li Zhiqi: "I also have a ship in North Korea, called the tortoise shell ship. When he fought against the Japanese pirates in the naval battle, he showed his strength. Compared with the bow in front of him, haha..."

Although it was not stated clearly, the implication was still very obvious, which was that the big black ship was not as powerful as the tortoise shell ship. It was just because Li Zhiqi was the navy commander of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom that he did not say it outright.

When Li Zhiqi heard this, he immediately looked at him, but his eyes were disdainful, "Do you think I have never heard of the tortoise shell ship?"

The other Ming generals who were watching the fun were a little bit like they were not interested in the big deal, and immediately started to make a fuss and ask them to compare and decide the outcome. The reason for this is that one side is a Korean and the other side is a pirate. They did not agree with the navy commander in their hearts.

When Li Zhiqi heard this, he was also excited. He waved his hand and asked them to whisper. Then he looked at Li Jinlei and asked loudly: "Okay, let's talk about it yourself. How many big black ships can you exchange for your tortoise shell ship?"

Li Jinlei didn't expect him to ask this question, and he immediately felt a little difficult to answer. If he had fewer answers, he wouldn't think the tortoise shell ship was powerful, but if he had too many answers, what was the face of the general of the country? He hesitated for a moment and estimated that: "It should be able to win two bows!"

When Chen Jisheng heard this, he couldn't help but shout: "Oh, the tortoise shell ship is one and two, so amazing!"

After hearing this, Xu Fuzou and others laughed, just watching the fun.

It was said that the big black ship could not beat the tortoise shell ship, and it was a ratio of two to one. It is logical that Li Zhiqi would be annoyed. But the facts were completely opposite. He acted not at all. After the people watching laughed a little less, he said to Li Jinlei: "Okay, I ask you, how much does it cost to build a tortoise shell ship and how long does it take to build it? Let's estimate how much does it cost to build this big black ship? How long does it take to build it?"

"..." Li Jinlei was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Li Zhiqi would compare from these two aspects. Needless to say, the tortoise shell ship must not be as good as the big black ship!

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Li Zhiqi continued, "Besides, your tortoise shell ships are OK to deal with Japanese pirates' convex guns, but if you want to go to my Ming Dynasty, you will definitely not meet them. Just this big black ship, let alone the red cannon, just the general cannon. Do you tell me, can the tortoise shell ship withstand the bombardment of the cannon?"

One of the main attack methods of the tortoise shell ship is to hit the enemy's ship. But if it is so close, large-caliber artillery can hit the target without aiming. Just blast at such a close range, it will be strange if it's okay!

Who knew that this was not over yet, and Li Zhiqi continued to say: "Also, if you fight at sea, whoever discovers the enemy first and attacks first will have the advantage. Your tortoise shell ship is just a turtle iron back. Is it convenient to look for it?"

Although I don’t understand some words very well, Chen Jisheng and the others could hear them somewhat, as if the tortoise shell ship actually had many problems.

"Also, how much supplies can the tortoise shell ship carry? How long can it last at sea?" After Li Zhiqi said this, he snorted, ignoring Li Jinlei who was stupid there. He looked at the modified Dawu Ship, shouting loudly, directing the other side.

As one of the most powerful people to make a living at sea, he certainly only knows about sea ships. He also knew about the tortoise shell ships that North Korea thought were very powerful, but did not build them. It was because the tortoise shell ships that used to deal with the Japanese pirates at the time, and it would be completely impossible to use them on the Ming Dynasty.

It is also because of this that the North Korean tortoise ship was useless after the Battle of Luliang and was eventually eliminated.

Thanks to the boring passerby for the reward! PS: The tortoise shell ships in later generations may have been more built by Koreans on the basis of overhead. The actual tortoise shell ships are not that powerful, at least the Japanese have never admitted them.
