Chapter 996 Khan, I do have a plan

The idea of ​​making foreign things serve China has always been what High Pragmatism has been concerned about, but at the same time, it is also what High Pragmatism insists on making better use of some things developed by itself in the past dynasties in China.

In the final analysis, a highly pragmatic person lives up to his name, and everything is based on pragmatism. I will use it if it is easy to use. As for who invented this thing in the first place, it doesn't matter.

Not to mention the hybrid power of wind and propellers, Gao Yushi even drew a few sketches of propellers and handed them over to the Ship Department of Jinghua Craftsman School to conduct physical research. The reason for the physical research is because the theory of this thing is too complicated. Pragmatically, his own level in this area is limited, and he can't explain it at all. It can even be said that he himself doesn't understand it very well.

Fortunately, China has always been "experimental science" in all dynasties, and it is far inferior to experimental science in theoretical science. Highly pragmatic, teachers and students in the Department of Shipbuilding work together to do experiments, which is in line with their traditional mentality of "apprentices" and treat them as their own. The owner of the six champions is now guiding them.

This way of thinking is similar to when an apprentice barber learns to razor, he first has to shave a wax gourd for more than a year as an internship. [I remember that when the book mentioned the burden of shaving their hair earlier, it was sprayed that the ancients did not cut their hair. At that time, I had already cited ancient records to explain it. This time it will not be sprayed, right? ]
However, the issue of the propeller is very complicated. It is a system issue. Material selection, blade shape, suitable ship type, etc. must be considered, so it has not been officially worked out yet. On the contrary, the power used by the propeller has been determined in advance: only manpower, because There is no steam engine.

In fact, Gao Wushi thinks that wind power can also be considered, such as adding a windmill to the ship... But in this case, the drive shaft system may be more troublesome, and there is no historical experience to learn from, so he did not dare to talk nonsense in the end.

Anyway, it is very powerful to be able to produce a propeller. If I remember correctly, this thing was not theoretically proposed until 1700 AD in the original history, and the experimental object was not produced until more than 1800 AD, and it is still in the early Wanli period. Calculated in AD If it was only 1582, the invention of the propeller is equivalent to a direct lead of 200 years.

But right now, although there is no propeller, the Chinese style hard sail and oars still block Chaohua Taiji so much that he almost vomits blood, so he has to ask Tumen profusely for a way to defeat the enemy.

How can Tumen Khan have any way to defeat the enemy?But he is a big sweat after all, and he can't say stupidly "Ben Khan knows a fart", so he said calmly that he must first look at the current situation before making a decision.

So both sides brought a small number of elites forward to investigate—only a small number of elites was because if there were too many people, they would be shot. This is the beating experience Chaohua Taiji has summed up in the past few days.

This experience is still very useful. Tumen and Chaohua led the No. 30 elite to investigate. When they appeared on the shore, not only did they find the Jinghua gunboat cruising in the river, but the Jinghua people also spotted them.

The two gunboats quickly turned around and gradually approached them, but until Tumen and others withdrew, Jinghua didn't seem to intend to fire, and they didn't even approach too much, just made a turning direction of "I have found you" front action.

Withdrew to the range of the cannonball, Chaohuataiji smiled wryly and said, "Did Khan see it this time? The eyes of those people on the boat are surprisingly good, as if they all have the eyesight of Jebe's sharp shot. Know what's going on..."

Chaohua just mentioned Jebe's magic shot in passing, but it made those who had suffered so much from Chataijina Jebe's magic shot shudder, and after covering it up with a dry cough, he said in a deep voice: " It seems that these Ming army sailors are a bit weird... But Ben Khan looked at it, and the clothes worn by the boatmen above don't seem to look like mandarin duck battle robes, what's going on?"

"Oh, I know that." Chaohua Taiji really hadn't spent the past few days in vain, and quickly replied: "It's not true to say that they are naval divisions of the Ming army. These ships are all Jinghua's ships, and they wear The uniform clothes of the Gao family and family members, these are the lowest level, and they are all brown bunts."

Tumen was speechless for a long time, how come there are all servants who are so pragmatic?Those who walk, those who ride horses, and now those who board boats, are you so fucking capable of flying in the sky?

Tumen didn't speak, but Chaohua Taiji was impatient, so he changed the topic back and asked, "Did Khan come up with a solution for the navy?"

Well, in the eyes of speculators, the family is also the Ming army anyway, so Jinghua's fleet is also the Ming army navy, which is not bad.

Tumen can't wait to roll their eyes, thinking that you are lucky to fry flowers, and you have inherited a lot of people, otherwise, with your eyesight, offending your boss is as easy as eating and drinking.

Obviously, Tumen didn't have any good ideas, so he could only pretend to be hesitant.

But although Chaohua is not a good subordinate, it does not mean that Tumen has no good subordinates. For example, Burihatu is a good subordinate.

Buri Hatu saw Tumen Khan's appearance and knew that he was helpless, so he took the initiative to help him out: "Khan, don't say anything clearly, let me guess what is in Khan's mind?"

Tumen breathed a sigh of relief, quickly laughed, pretended to be very cheerful, reached out and patted Buri Hatu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, first guess what Ben Khan thinks."

Chaohua Taiji watched in a daze, secretly doubting his own mind: Could it be that they are all smart people, but I am the only one who is stupid?Ah bah, I want to see what they come up with!
At this time, Brihatu smiled lightly, almost without a goose feather fan in his hand: "Maybe Khan is thinking, the opponent's navy is fast and has good eyesight, if I divide my troops to attack across the river, it will always be difficult for me." The opponent is blocked, so always think of an idea to make the opponent unstoppable, or it is too late to block."

Tumen's heart moved, he nodded and said, "Ben Khan really thinks so."

Chaohua Taiji was a little unbelieving, and said, "It's understandable if it's too late to block me, but what does it mean to be blocked?"

Brihatu said indifferently: "The opposing navy has a total of [-] or [-] gunboats. If they are gathered together, they are naturally powerful. But if I divide my troops across the river in ten places, how will the opponent deal with it? I divide my troops in ten places, and each place has With more than [-] cavalry, if he divides his troops into ten places, each place will only have one or two boats, how many people can he fight?

And as long as our army can cross half of the river, can they keep the water village on the other side of the river?Without the water fortress, they would have no gunpowder, shells, and food supplies. Could these boats float in the river to fish for a living? "

Chaohua Taiji opened his eyes wide, and after a while he said, "Both you and Dahan have thought of this? Then why didn't Dahan say it so long?"

Well, can you be any more stupid?

Tumen said with a sullen face: "Because this plan is feasible, but the loss is also unpredictable, so Ben Khan always thinks that there is a better way."

Chaohua Taiji's eyes widened, and he asked, "Is there a better way?"

Tumen didn't bother to talk to this idiot this time, and asked Brihatu directly: "Brihatu, do you have a trick to teach me?"

Brihatu nodded lightly, and said, "Khan, I do have a plan."

PS: I don't know if it's a cold or a relapse of rhinitis. I have been having a stuffy nose for the past two days, and I feel my brain has been lack of oxygen and dizzy.
