Chapter 138: Borrowing Overseas Trade, Trainers and Navies!

The mass criticism meeting was simply too successful, and Zhu Zilong was smiling from the beginning to the end.

This place is definitely washed at a high level, and I will spend some money to get through the relationship afterwards, and there will be an emperor clone to make small moves, ensuring that there is no, but there is still merit.

The people of Dashui Village, who took crazy revenge on the Zhou family, only seemed to vent their anger under the oppression of the Zhou family, and it was also a bit like they were making a name to Zhu Zilong.

These people killed the remnants of the dozens of Zhou family members, which means that from now on, they have no choice but to be firmly tied to Zhu Zilong's chariot. At your disposal!

In the time that followed, Zhu Zilong directly brought these villagers back to the fiefdom. There's just a shortage of people there!

And the dilapidated Dashui Village, as soon as the time comes, these fields will naturally belong to Zhu Zilong.

The work of moving manpower, property and migrants from Dashui Village lasted for almost half a month, and during this period, even Zhu Zilong asked them to repair the road surface back and forth.

took the kickback, hugged the county order of the thigh, and didn't fart anything about Zhu Zilong.

The gentry in other places also seemed to be frightened by the criticism conference and Zhu Zilong's military strength, and the people who should have stood up to denounce one or two were completely deaf and dumb!

It can be seen that all intrigues and bullshit XX, in the face of absolute power, are paper tigers.

Zhu Zilong, who destroyed the Zhou family, unexpectedly found that their family still had the merchant fleet of the Grand Canal, so after a round of black and black operations, half of the ships and people ran away, and half of the merchant ships under him arrived under Zhu Zilong's name.

These merchant ships are of various varieties, and the sailors are readily available. Zhu Zilong stabilized the situation by not investigating the past.

Fiber them back to the dock of their fiefdom, and at a glance, they are dominated by the fortune boat, one of the four great ships of ancient China. There are also sand boats, bird boats, and wide boats!

One of the four ancient ships, the Canton Ship. Named because it is mostly manufactured in the coastal area of Guangdong, its basic characteristics are the long head point, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, the linear thin pointed bottom, the beam arch is small, and the ridge arc of the deck is not high.

To this day in the 21st century, there is still a Guangzhou ship in the South China Sea -- the "Jinhuaxing". The most famous Canton ship in history is the "Senior", which is famous for its visit to England.

Sand boat: unique structure, square head and square tip, flat bottom, with the characteristics of wide, large, flat and shallow.

Commonly known as "square ship"; The bottom is flat and can sit on the beach, not afraid of stranding, and is less affected by the tide; The sand boat has many masts and sails, high masts and high sails, shallow draft, low resistance, can sail fast at sea, and has good seaworthiness; The carrying capacity is large, but the sand boat cannot be used for ocean voyages!

It has green eyebrows, a draft of 2.2 meters, and a displacement of about 230 tons.

The old wooden rudder is adopted, the rudder is 11 meters long and 2.3 meters wide, there are three masts and five sails, of which the main mast is 24.5 meters high, the main sail is on three sides, and the speed of using wind power can reach up to 9 knots per hour.

The blessed boat has a pointed head and a wide tail, with two upturned heads and a high head and tail.

The hull was tall, with a wide flat deck, continuous hatches, and a pair of eyes on either side of the bow. It can only be used as a warship, and it can also be used as a merchant ship. It can advance and retreat freely in both shallow and deep seas, and is suitable for sea navigation, and can be used as an ocean-going transport ship and warship. According to ancient records, in the Ming Dynasty, China's sailors used fortune ships as their main warships.

Because of the sea ban, none of them exceeded 400-500 materials.

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that after the sea ban, the people could only build ships of 400-500 materials at most. The displacement of 1,000 materials is about 400 tons, that is, these dozens of ships of the Zhou family that Zhu Zilong has in his hands now are probably about 200 tons of displacement.

With these boats, they can then go through the Grand Canal to the Small Canal, through the Shandong River, or to the mouth of the sea to Yantai. It can be said that Zhu Zilong has a transit station and base for a smooth and fast march!

No matter how fast the cavalry was, the horses and men had to rest for a long time after a hurried march, and they could only continue the march after they had eaten and drunk enough.

On the other hand, the navy and the navy division are different.

The boat is walking when you are awake, the boat is still moving when you are sleeping, you don't have to rest, you can move forward 24 hours a day.

In ancient times, if there were no artillery to pull, the infantry could march 50-60 miles a day. Cavalry for more than 200 miles! And the sailors and navy, because the ships do not have to rest, move at a speed of 5-8 knots, which is about 20-30 miles per hour. Calculate that you can travel 300-500 miles a day!

Of course, because the river is not straight and meanders, it is about the same land distance as the cavalry advances.

However, the cavalry would be very tired from such a forced march, and after reaching the destination, the combat effectiveness would decrease.

However, after the soldiers on the sailor division arrive at their destination, they rest on the road by boat (provided that you don't get seasick), so their combat effectiveness can remain the same.

Therefore, who is strong and who is weak, you can know by comparison.

(You have to insist that in some places, there is no river to cross, and the soldiers on your sailor have to come down and walk on their feet halfway, I have nothing to say.) Now it's just about the vicinity of Shandong Province, which is Zhu Zilong's base camp. He never thought that he would have to fight across provinces so soon! )

If you insist that rivers are sometimes inconvenient, think about it differently.

It's always straight in the sea, right?

The Qing army passed through Shanhaiguan from the base camp, and then turned left and right, and it had to attack the city to enter the Ming Dynasty. However, if you take a straight boat from Shandong to attack the rear of the Qing army, you will only have to go by sea for one or two hundred miles!

Mao Wenlong can interfere with the battle in the rear of the Qing army, and one day, Zhu Zilong can't do this?

Compared with Mao Wenlong, his advantages are much stronger.

After all, if you want money, you need people, and you will go to the next level in the future. The armament is also better!

No, no day!

Zhu Zilong returned to his old base camp in Yantai, of course, with 70% of the fleet ships.

The ship is full of cloth and raw silk purchased from Daming, as well as various daily necessities, he is going to lead a team to Japan, one is to see the situation over there, and the other is to make a sum of money.

Because there were many sailors and men in the caravan, I heard that they had been to Japan before, and they had been in contact from time to time. At that time, Comrade Wansan, the God of Wealth, was a merchant who made his fortune by sea, and it was a waste to have a ship and not do business overseas.

And Zhu Zilong also wants to train his sailors and copycat sailors, so that they can get used to nature!

Most of the ships that came were lucky boats, and then with the copycat Zheng He treasure boat in Yantai, there were a total of twenty or thirty boats!

There are three or four layers of Fu ship, and the bottom layer is filled with ballast stones or heavier cargo to keep the hull stable, and generally does not live with people. The second floor is where the sailors stay, the middle of the third floor is the water tank, the rear is the room, there are also some cabins where you can put some cargo, and the top floor is the deck, which is the main place for activities!

Guards were added on both sides, and the helm tower was one level higher than the deck.

According to the standard of three voyages, the first ship and the middle, as well as the last ship of each team, were less loaded and converted into warships with cannons.

It is like a copycat Zheng He treasure ship, because it was originally a modern imitation of a warship, with a gun port every two or three meters on it, adding up to more than 50 artillery pieces and a main gun.

Zhu Zilong's naval artillery is rarely practiced by everyone in normal times, but the usage is the same as that of the army. Under his explanation and rules, everyone usually secretly practiced a few times in the forest barracks!

On the other hand, the large-scale pirate team of the Ming Dynasty during this period is generally still in the southeast coastal area, and there are still few in Shandong. It can effectively deal with this kind of twenty or thirty ships, of which the war ships account for a quarter, and there is also a large team of Zheng He's treasure ships, which poses a threat, basically nothing.

So Zhu Zilong is not worried that he will cheat his father, unless the North Korean side rebels, and their navy will come to hack him in the middle.

However, this period of 1626, because it is now in the time when the wild boar skin boss has died, and the sons are fighting for the throne, when Huang Taiji has just ascended the throne. Most of North Korea still respects the Ming Dynasty as the monarch's father, will the Koreans inexplicably rob the Ming caravan?

How is this possible?
