please make me king

"Military ships should be divided into warships and auxiliary ships." Zhang Shun wrote while flipping through the materials, talking to himself.

"The warships should be divided into artillery warships, jumping gang warships, exploration ships, fire boats, etc."

"Auxiliary ships should include troop carriers, food carriers, supply ships, supply ships, and medical ships."

"Among them, artillery warships should become the main force of the navy. And these warships should be different from offshore and ocean!"

"Now, I need to build an offshore navy. The main warships should be flexible, have a shallow draft, and be able to deal with complex situations. They should also have strong firepower. They should be able to support land and assist the navy if necessary." Marines land."

"By the way, if that's the case, we should design one or even several landing craft."

It turned out that after Tang Ruowang left, Zhang Shun regarded himself as coming from later generations, grasped the "direction of historical development", refused to admit defeat in his heart, and began to smooth out his own thoughts.

Hey, don't tell me, after such a stroke, he really discovered his real needs.

In fact, the current rebel army does not need any "Caravelle sailboat" or "Clark sailboat" at all. It only needs to select and improve the original Ming army ships, and they can suppress the Jinshui division.

And according to the information that Zhang Shun has reviewed in the past few days, he found that the shipbuilding industry was developed in this era, and there were many types of ships.

"By the way, by the way, help me draft two orders. One is to investigate where this Zhang Zizhou is, and ask him and Du Sance to come to see me; the other is to transfer Zhao Lizi to Beijing, and I plan to appoint him as the deputy of Zhao Liangdong, the general of Tianjin. , Admiral of the Tianjin Navy!"

Of course, if this kind of ship is compared with the cargo ships of hundreds of thousands of tons in later generations, it is really "insignificant".

The most powerful one is the latest "splint warship" equipped by the Ming army.

However, when Zhang Shun didn't pay much attention, when he turned to the next page, he couldn't help being surprised when he saw the picture of the ship: "Sail battleship?"

If converted into the data of later generations, this is a large ship with a length of 67 meters and a width of 19 meters.

In addition to being higher in depth than this Fengzhou, it is smaller in terms of length and width.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help asking: "In the sixth year of Chongzhen, a Fengzhou was built in Fujian. I don't know where this Fengzhou is now?"

At that time, the imperial court frequently used troops and was unable to allocate money to build ships, so it could only use some old ships to make up the number.

After Zhang Shun read the relevant text carefully, he realized that this ship was indeed not the so-called "sail battleship".

The resulting sealed boat is 21 feet long, six feet wide, five feet deep, and has five masts on top.

"To the upper level of the battlefield, there are about [-] guns such as Baizi wolf machine and so on."

In this era, the boundaries between civil and military ships are not very clear. If he can get this sealed boat, Zhang Shun is confident that he can transform it into a terrifying sea monster.

If compared with contemporary ships, only the sailing battleship "Sea King", which was just built by the United Kingdom in the past two years, can be compared.

It is not only equipped with "splints", but also has "gun holes" on both sides of the ship's side for shooting from Hongyi cannons.

In order to build this Fengzhou, the imperial court not only appointed special personnel to supervise the construction, but also selected centuries-old timber from the Guanzhong area to transport to Fujian.

In addition to this typical gunboat, there is also a single "splint" warship, which can carry more than ten guns such as Franji, and its firepower is no less than that of the traditional large Fuchuan warships of the Ming army.

It turned out that this Zhang Zizhou was none other than the fellow-prefect Du Sance requested from Chongzhen to be dispatched, and the commissioner who specialized in supervising the construction of Fengzhou.

Among them, there are so many kinds, no fewer than hundreds of them.

Originally, its styles are divided into two types, large and small, both of which are equipped with double-layer "splints". Each cannon can be loaded with [-] or [-] cannons.

And in order to strengthen the protective ability of the ship, there are even iron plates on both sides of the ship's side.

He didn't understand the characteristics of Chinese ships of this era, and there was no precedent for this kind of double deck design.

This so-called "splint warship" is different from the traditional Fuchuan and Guangzhou ship type warships of the Ming army.

Since this person has such experience, he must also be a talent who is familiar with shipbuilding.

However, at that time, a large number of "splint warships" based on Chinese ship technology were equipped in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian in the Ming Dynasty.

The "Sea King" is only 51 meters long, 14.7 meters wide and 23.17 meters deep.

"Can it be done?" Zhang Shun couldn't help asking.

Its sails are still Chinese-style hard sails. Although its ship structure has absorbed the Western keel and ship rib structure, it still retains the watertight cabin design.

It turns out that although this "deck warship" has many features of a Chinese ship, its appearance is very similar to the sailed battleships in Zhang Shun's previous great sailing games.

"This..." Zhang Zhoutian and Zhu Sinu were taken aback when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but quickly responded, "We still need to check the traffic schedule. But, based on our prediction, it should be anchored at the Fujian port."

It turns out that the Tianjin navy that Zhang Shun saw was not strong enough. However, during the "Denglai Rebellion", it was lured by Geng Zhongming and lost many large warships.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ming Dynasty Center had preserved a large amount of information, Zhang Shun would still be struggling to find the "Western battleship" in his mind.

"Difficult!" The four women replied in unison, "However, it doesn't matter what is left or right. Your Highness can ask His Majesty to make an order to see if they can be transferred to Dagukou."

"The splint? Could it be the deck?" Zhang Shun couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this.

Among the large "splint" warships, there are [-] "gun holes" in the lower layer, and eight Hongyi cannons of [-] catties are placed.

One is to appoint him to build a shipyard in Tianjin to supervise the construction of warships, and the other is to use the technology of making sealed boats to design and manufacture large-scale warships at sea.

The small "splint" warship has 22 "gun holes" on the lower floor, six Hongyi cannons, [-] thousand-jin cannons and [-]-jin cannons. The door does not wait.

"This Du Sance is now serving as the Minister of Dali Temple, but who is this Zhang Zizhou?" The girls were stunned when they heard the words, and they couldn't help asking curiously.

As for Zhao Lizi, originally he was not the first choice of Admiral Zhang Shun.

"Tsk tsk, it turns out that the Ming army is hiding something here!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but wonder when he saw this.

However, from the perspective of wooden ships, the length of this ship has almost reached the limit of wooden ships.

Therefore, after the introduction of this technology, warships with this feature are called "deck warships".

"Okay, this is good!" Zhang Shun couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly ordered.

What surprised Zhang Shun even more was that between the second year of Chongzhen and the sixth year of Chongzhen, in order to canonize the Ryukyu king, the Ming court took two or three years to build a huge ship with [-] materials to seal the boat in Fujian.

"Hurry up and help me draw up the decree, just say that your majesty is about to ascend the throne, and he will inspect the three armies, and send a big ship to seal the boat and head north, so as to make a strong momentum, there must be no mistakes!"

Zhang Shun intends to find this person and examine his knowledge.

But now the "God of the River" Huang Shoucai was stranded in Nanyang, fighting fiercely with Huguang governor Xiong Wencan under Xiao Qinhu's command, so he couldn't go north for a while.

He could only settle for the next best thing and choose Zhao Lizi to learn water warfare.

Although Zhao Lizi is not familiar with water warfare nowadays, he grew up on the bank of the Yellow River, so he must be no stranger to water.

In addition, he is the grandson of Zhao Yutou, Zhang Shun's confidant, so it is only natural that he should be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

Sorry, this chapter was originally written yesterday, but the author found that the original information greatly underestimated the technology and strength of marine shipbuilding in the late Ming Dynasty.After checking the information, the author rewrote this chapter, so the update was delayed, please forgive me
