Chapter 575 The first conception of the gunboat
Rengui? The name is very familiar, well, by the way, I slapped my thigh, and I wanted to fight with the Japanese pirates and Baekje. This is the name, but I don’t know if it is the same person.
However, out of helping him, I also thanked him with courtesy: "Haha, I met Liu Changshi in the head of the Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty."
After hearing this, Liu Rengui was stunned and looked at me, as if he felt something was wrong. Xuan Ji asked hesitantly: "Fang Jun, is the son of Fang Jun, who is the son of Fang, who is in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and runs "The Tang Dynasty Times Weekly", Fang Jun and Fang Yiai."
"My name is Fang." I answered happily, but I didn't expect that my name would be so widely spread. Well, it seems that the title of literary master of the Tang Dynasty is indispensable.
Liu Rengui looked happy and replied solemnly: "Oh, Liu really respects. The official admires the master's literary talent very much. I have lived in Xin'an for a long time and have not been able to meet him. When I saw him today, it made the official a little at a loss, hahaha."
"What are these objects, so heavy?" Liu Rengui looked curiously as the soldiers placed the artillery on the deck and fixed it firmly on the deck with ropes.
"This is called artillery. If you attack the city and draw the village, you only need this object. No matter how city the opponent is, only a dozen cannons will cause his door to collapse." I boasted proudly.
"So amazing?!" Liu Rengui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After a while, he touched the shiny copper cannon barrel with his hand. Fang Zi withdrew his hand and smiled at me. After chatting with Lord Liu, he said goodbye to me. He just had to say goodbye to him. He was very arrogant and said whatever he wanted. He couldn't talk much. Because it was the loading stage now, he had to say goodbye to Lord Liu, whom he had just met, and continued to direct the students to load the ship at a speed. After busy for half a night, he finally shipped all the people and Chong and other items onto these giant ships.
It is a giant ship. For example, the building I am now in is at least more than 65 meters long, about fifteen meters wide, and about four meters in width. The highest height on the water surface is actually fifteen meters. The bottom is pointed and the upper is wide, the head and tail are high, and there are strong impact devices. It can plow and sink the enemy ship with downward pressure on the wind and sink the enemy ship, and there are guard plates on both sides. The entire ship is divided into four layers, with earth and stone basins installed on the lower layer, the second layer is occupied by soldiers, and the third layer is the main operating place, but the download is full of my army, the upper layer is the combat place, and it is condescending. If the bow and arrows are fired downward, it can often defeat the enemy.
----------------------------------------------------
At this time, Liu Rengui, who had been busy for a long time, also walked to the edge of the ship, "Master Fang is so elegant, why don't you go to rest and still linger here?"
"Oh, Lord Liu, this is the first time Fang is taking a boat. I am so excited that I can't sleep. I came to see the night view of the sea. I also want to see what my invincible warship in the Tang Dynasty looks like?" I said with a smile.
"If our Tang Dynasty warships encounter enemies at sea, there will definitely be no enemy! When attacking Beisha City, Goguryeo's navy came to help, and there were about a hundred ships. Under the order of General Zhang, the subordinates led ten ships and twenty fighting ships to welcome them. More than half of the warships in Goguryeo were injured, and the rest were hiding." Liu Rengui said calmly, but there was still a little complacent in his eyes.
"Oh, Fang originally thought that the lord was just a civil servant, but he didn't want to, but he was quite familiar with naval battles."
Liu Rengui smiled and said, "I dare not be familiar, but I have received the saint of Your Majesty. Since the lower officials entered the navy, how can they teach soldiers in an unconscious manner? Therefore, since then, I have started to specialize in navy and water wars. The most important things in water wars are the wind direction and water direction. These two points are the key to the outcome of the war. Of course, whether the soldiers are proficient in the exercises of warships is also very relevant. However, the excellent ship production of our Tang Dynasty is far better than that of the far superior.
The surrounding countries, such as this building, have a sharp bottom and a flat and wide body, an oval plane, a pointed head and a square tail, and there are fourteen rows of ship boards from the keel to the side. One to ten rows are two layers of ship boards overlapping, and the eleven to thirteen rows are three layers of ship boards overlapping, and the total thickness of the three layers is about more than a foot. The three layers are wave impact near the waterproof line, and the two methods of cross-coil overlapping and smooth connection are mixed. There are hemp silk in the sewing of the board, and the tung putty compound is made of pounded with tung putty ash..."
Liu Rengui Taotao kept telling me about the advantages and disadvantages of warships. He was also very good at water warfare, and he was very well-informed and very talkative. This really interested me. He was very eloquent and I also had a very unique view on water warfare. He listed no less than ten types of warfare in the navy's tactics alone, and he was very well-informed about what kind of formation is suitable for dealing with what kind of enemies and what kind of formation should be used for warfare under what kind of weather.
At this time, I'm not sleeping
Liang, Su Dingfang and others also walked out of Axi. Seeing what we were talking about, they couldn't help but come over to join in the fun.
I don't know much about the tactics and tactics of the navy, but I can't see few blockbusters about naval battles. The scene of fighting hard in the magnificent sea made me extremely excited, especially when the two warships were duel, dozens of artillery bombarded each other, wood chips splattered, and flesh and blood were flying, which was even more shocking.
Cannon? Cannon! The Sanqing Dao Zun is on the top, cannon, my mother, almost thrust myself in excitement. I was so excited that I spoke to Zhang Liang, the commander of the Tang Dynasty Navy, and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have some superficial views, I want to ask for advice from you."
Zhang Liang nodded: "But it's okay to say it."
I bowed my hand and said to myself: "Then I am not as respectful as I am. The majesty of the navy of the Tang Dynasty has opened my eyes. However, after hearing what Lord Liu said, I felt that the current sea warfare emphasizes the horn battle and the ability of the warships to fight the warships. For example, this lucky ship has six slap poles on the left and right front and back, which is also for the convenience of close combat methods, but it seems that there are not many ways to strike from a long range."
"It's not that there is no such thing. Far-attacks are often used to attack the opponent's ships, or to shoot tinder oil with a catapult to destroy the ship." Liu Rengui shook his head and expressed his disagreement with my opinion.
I nodded and agreed with Liu Rengui, who is skilled in naval warfare, but I continued to express my point of view: "The hull of my tower ship is very strong. I believe that General Manager Zhang should have seen the power of the cannons that will be transported to the tower ship, right?"
"That's natural. The power of this cannon is indeed powerful for landslides and earth to break." Zhang Liang nodded and praised. I immediately said, "What if I put this sharp weapon on the ship to fight against the enemy?"
Zhang Liang, Liu Rengui, Pei Xingjian and others were all stunned. However, Su Dingfang was startled first, and then slapped his thigh: "Then you are in a boat. If this thing is placed in the boat, if you encounter an enemy ship, you don't need to get close, just shoot it around the corner and send them all to the sea to feed the fish."
----------------------------------------------------
Zhang Liang and Liu Rengui looked at each other, then discussed something in a low voice and excited manner. Looking at Zhang Liang's expression, I know that he must be very excited about my suggestion. The Tang Dynasty was an era of taking off. Everyone welcomed novel things with an open mind. It was not like the last era of braids. Everything they saw was beaten to death with a handful of evil ways, leaving China lagging behind the world for a whole century.
It is precisely because of the enlightenment of the Tang Dynasty and his heart that embraces all rivers from the heart of the nation that the Tang Dynasty became a great country that the world of this era understood and yearned for. This is one of the reasons why later generations called the gathering place of the Chinese nation abroad Chinatown.
Feng & Liu Rengui narrowed his eyes and thought: "Can this thing really be installed on a building ship for combat?"
Yu&I nodded seriously: "Of course, General Zhang must have seen the power of this thing. As long as the gunner practices more, even on the bumpy ship, he can still make the other party fall under the guns of my Tang fleet at a very long distance. It would be better if this is the case. Tomorrow morning, when the sky brightens, we can find a target on this ship and let the adults see how powerful it is?"
Zhang Liang, the commander of the Tang Dynasty, spoke at this time: "Don't be so anxious. You need to hurry to the entrance of Huangshui tomorrow morning. There will be no peace along the way. At that time, there will naturally be a chance to test artillery. All generals should go and rest first. The most taboo thing to go to the sea is not enough rest. After setting sail tomorrow, if you are seasick, don't blame me for not reminding you."
The next morning, fifty tower ships and one hundred fighting ships, and some other ships of various types all raised their sails and walked on the waves. The first time I took a boat, I was so excited that I only slept for half a night last night, but after getting up early in the morning, I was still energetic. I stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the endless rolling waves that were accompanied by white foam, and were severely split by the head, breaking into waves and sliding towards both sides.
