Ruan Jin, Liu Kongzhao, Zheng Cai, Zhu Chenggong, Wang Shixun and other naval generals came to greet him.
"The flower horse Liu fled to the wind and retreated to Taizhou. The five tiger generals under his command, dragon, phoenix, tiger, leopard and peng, did not dare to fight, so Taixing surrendered."
Zhu Yima had also heard of the name Liu Liangzuo of Huama Liu. He was originally a military household in Shanxi Guards Station. Later, he rebelled. Like Gao Jie, he was a subordinate of Li Zicheng. Later, they both rebelled and returned to the Ming Dynasty. They relied on suppressing the peasant army in the past.
After the fall of Beidu, he became one of the four towns in Jiangbei thanks to his support.
He once had hundreds of thousands of troops and was very famous. He was good at riding a flower horse, so he was called Liu Liu. However, like Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing and other military leaders, this man had all the bad habits of warlords, but he could only fight in a real war.
Will bully the weak and fear the strong.
The warlords who could not be mobilized by Chongzhen would only recruit strong men to expand their troops and plunder the people everywhere. None of them would be useful in a real war.
The Qing army marched south and surrendered without firing an arrow with a hundred thousand troops in hand. This is the same thing as Zuo Liangyu, who was guarding Hubei and claimed to have sent eight hundred thousand troops south to the side of the Qing emperor.
They also showed their ability in defeating the lone peasant army.
This kind of people have no blood in their bones. When they encounter the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Lu Supervisory State heading north, they are not willing to fight or dare to fight. They only think about how to protect themselves wisely and preserve their strength. As for the rest, go to hell with them.
care.
Zhu Yihai had already seen through these people and asked them to follow the Qing army to win the battle. Each one was more fierce than the other, but if he let them fight alone, they would immediately become cowards.
Even Li Chengdong, who later claimed to be able to fight, was actually famous for his achievements in suppressing the people of Susong and Song Dynasties, and later went south to Guangdong and Guangxi to fight against the third-rate Ming army in those places. He even later counterattacked the Qing army and won many battles, but the ones he fought were not the Eight Banners.
The main reason was that the local surrendered to the Ming army and reorganized the Green Camp.
"Ignore these people. I think Jingjiang can be used as a transfer station. We must seize the time to capture Chongming first. Several sand islands in Chongming occupy the Yangtze River estuary and are connected to the sea and rivers. They are in a critical position. We must capture Bolo and Bolo as soon as possible.
Dodo is surrounding us, we can't be careless."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, our navy has already formulated a battle plan to capture Chongming. It will be easy to capture." Ruan Jin is very conceited. This conceitedness is not only because he underestimates the enemy, but because he is a famous pirate on the sea.
He has strong fighting skills and is a boatman and helmsman. No one is more familiar with sea ships and naval battles than him.
Moreover, his men now have strong troops, especially the batch of advanced warships added by the Fujian Zheng family, which makes him even more powerful.
"Your Highness, please take a look at these warships. The largest of these is the Big Bird Ship, which is fifteen feet long and two feet six feet wide. After improvement, it has a double deck. The lower deck is equipped with heavy cannons, and the upper deck is equipped with light cannons. The bow is also
There are so many cannons that they can be said to be invincible across the Yangtze River."
These big bird ships were improved upon by the Fujian Zheng family after learning lessons from the naval battles with the Dutch, Spanish and other foreigners. The original bird ships had watertight compartments and a single deck. Cannons could not be installed in the cabins.
The deck could not accommodate too many gun positions, so an additional layer was built on the deck to form a double deck.
Heavy artillery on the lower level, light artillery on the upper level, and additional artillery on the bow.
Especially the heavy artillery on the lower level is completely like the naval cannon on the Dutch battleships. It is heavy but powerful. The improved bird ship is called the Big Bird ship. It is still a hard sail, although it is far inferior to the super battleship of the Dutch.
But it is already the strongest in the Ming Dynasty.
The warships of the Western Navy were classified at this time. Large ships of levels 1, 2 and 3 were called battleships, level 4 were cruisers, levels 5 and 6 were general gunboats, and level 6 and below were unclassified battleships.
Generally, the first-class battleships have three decks and are equipped with more than one hundred artillery pieces. The second-class battleships also have three decks and are equipped with more than ninety guns. The third-class battleships have two decks and are equipped with sixty-four to seventy-four cannons.
Class A cruisers also have double decks and are equipped with more than fifty guns.
Even the fifth and sixth level ones have at least twenty-four to forty cannons.
According to their classification, Fujian Zheng's most advanced Big Bird ship actually only has thirty-six guns, which is not enough for even a fourth-level cruiser.
But this kind of big bird boat is not without its merits. If it is located offshore, especially in inland rivers like the Yangtze River, the hard-sailed big bird boat is more stable and flexible, and has sufficient firepower.
Back then, the Zheng family took advantage of the bay's terrain and tides, and used small boats and fire attack tactics to defeat Western sail warships.
However, although there is a big gap between the Big Bird Ship and the sailing warships of the Red-haired Fans, when placed at the Yangtze River Estuary at this time, as Ruan Jin said, it is an invincible existence, and there is no stronger one.
The Qing army now has no navy at all.
Even the ships of the navy of the Ming Dynasty, such as Huang Fei and others, were mainly small boats such as sailing ships and sand ships. In fact, they could only be regarded as improved civilian ships and could not be regarded as real warships at all.
Both the rush boat and the stern boat were originally Fujian transport merchant ships. The length of the rush boat was seven feet three, and the thickness of the board was 2 inches seven. The large rush boat was only nine feet six long, and the second rush boat was eight feet long.
The double-topped boat is six feet long.
In addition, the rice boat warships improved by Guangdong Transport Ship also have three models: large, medium and small. The rice boat is 9.5 feet long, the medium length is 8.6 feet, and the small one is 7.6 feet long.
The Zheng family also has an improved version of the Tong Ansuo boat, the large one is seven feet long, the medium one is six feet four, and the small one is five feet nine. There is also an improved version of the Tong Ansuo boat, the Dahengyang Shuo, but it is only eight feet six long.
The Big Bird Boat is the only boat over ten feet long.
By comparison, the most famous sailing battleship Holy Trinity in the West is 61.3 meters long, has 140 guns, and has four decks. It is a super first-class battleship with a displacement of 4,900 meters.
Fifty tons, fully loaded with a crew of 1,050 people.
As for the sixth-level sloop warship, it has a gun deck with more than 20 cannons, a crew of about 180, and a displacement of about 500 tons. In total, it is actually stronger than the Big Bird ship.
However, Zhu Yihai is quite satisfied with these ships. After all, it depends on who he is competing with. At this stage, he has nine big bird ships to deal with the Qing army, which does not have a formal navy. In fact, it is already very strong.
Ruan Jin defeated more than 200 enemy ships at sea with a single fleet. Now that he has such a luxurious fleet, he is naturally confident in attacking Chongming.
Compared with Huang Fei's wandering fleet, which claims to have tens of thousands of boats on board, most of them are made up of fishing boats, sampans, etc. In a water area like the Yangtze River that is not particularly wide, tens of thousands of small fishing boats are crowded there.
, it’s hard for others to hold back even if they don’t set fire to it.
"Your Highness, King Yiyang, please see me." Liu Kongzhao has a very good relationship with Tian Yang. Back then, Tian Yang was able to be rehabilitated and quickly became the Governor of Water Transport and the Governor of Huai'an. This was all following the path of the powerful Liu Kongzhao.
"Summon!"
Zhu Yihai just replied with one word.
