My life skills in Daming Liver

Captain Alfonso froze for a moment, not realizing the seriousness, he brought Su Ze to the gun room.

This armed "merchant ship" was built in Manila, and because it was going to and from the New World, it still had sufficient firepower.

This ship adopts the design of the side gun room. When preparing for the artillery battle, the ship of this design only needs to turn the ship and face the enemy ship with the side of the ship, and then can use the side salvo to bombard the target.

The Shinsekai has three gun chambers on the left and right sides, with a total of six guns.

Su Ze opened the gun room with excitement, only to see a Fran cannon lying on the gun mount.

Sure enough, there are guns!

[Find the gun room at the location, you can learn the skill "Cannon Shooting", do you want to learn it? 】

"study!"

These Western businessmen brought the Franc cannons into Daming. These cannons were originally naval guns!

Su Ze walked up to Pao, touched the barrel of the cannon, and was so excited that someone would come to deliver a pillow when he fell asleep!

The price of the blunderbuss is not high, but the Frang cannon costs twenty or thirty taels of silver.

Silver is second, but the key is that Su Ze can't buy it at all!

Now that someone came to the door, Su Ze naturally couldn't let it go. He carefully looked at the Franc machine gun. This kind of rear-mounted artillery can only be regarded as a transitional weapon.

Due to the problems of casting technology in this era, the Fran cannon is a rear-mounted smoothbore cannon, which consists of a barrel, a barrel, and a sub-cannon.

When firing, put powder and projectiles into the sub-cannon, then put the sub-cannon into the belly of the gun, aim with the front sight and rear sight on the barrel, and then ignite the sub-cannon fire door to launch the projectile.

In fact, the Flang cannon had already appeared in Ming Dynasty during the Zhengde period. At that time, the Ming Dynasty called it "the invincible general cannon".

Wang Yangming once wrote an article "The Legacy of Shu Folang Ji", which tells how he put down Ning Wang Chenhao's rebellion and had people cast Folang machine guns overnight.

However, although the Ming court had already begun to manufacture the Folang cannons, that was the court's business. Small coastal guards like Changningwei would never get the Folang cannons made by the imperial court.

Although Su Ze longed for artillery, he also had a clear understanding of the power of Fran's cannon.

Although it is boasted in various time travel novels, in fact, the power of this cannon is limited.

The reason is also very simple. The shooting of the rear sub-cannon looks very sci-fi. In fact, this design sacrifices the airtightness of the artillery.

The airtightness is not enough, and the gunpowder loaded must not be too much. Compared with the Hongyi cannon introduced to Ming Dynasty later, the power of the Furang cannon is really far behind.

But now Su Ze doesn't have to choose. More advanced than the Franc machine gun is the Hongyi cannon, which is a front-mounted smoothbore gun, which has already appeared in Europe in this era.

But the Portuguese were so poor that they couldn't afford this new type of firearm.

The red barbarian cannon entered China, and that would have to wait until the seventeenth century.

Forget it, people still can't be too greedy.

These six Franc cannons are advanced enough for the Changning Guard.

Su Ze caressed the Franc cannon, which made Captain Alfonso on the opposite side feel a chill.

This Daming officer is not a pervert, is he?

I saw Su Ze waved his hand and said to Captain Alfonso:

"Captain Alfonso, first tow the New World back to our dock in Changningwei, and then think about it in the long run!"

Captain Alfonso wanted to resist, but now the ship was grounded and could not move.

Captain Alfonso wanted to move, but seeing the black hole of the muzzle, he also swallowed his protest.

Captain Alfonso could only accept his fate and obey Su Ze's "suggestion".

There are more than 70 crew members on the New World. Among them, like Alfonso, there are only five people from Portugal, two priests from France, and the rest of the crew have complicated identities.

Among them are the first mates of mixed descendants of Portuguese and local natives in Goa, Cambodian sailors in Southeast Asia, lookouts from Malacca, sailors from Gujarati, Luzon, Bengalis, Champa and Nanyang Chinese .

This made Lin Mojun, who had never seen a Xiyi ship, very novel. She had never seen so many races of skin color.

However, the entire cabin of the New World is smelly, and the crew and sailors are also dirty. Considering the various terrifying infectious diseases in this era, Su Ze suggested that Lin Mojun place them in a place close to Changningwei. on a small island.

Su Ze asked people to prepare anti-virus lime, and ordered the crew and sailors to burn all their clothes, and let them wash them before distributing cotton clothes to them.

Specially sent someone to deliver food and water. Although Captain Alfonso expressed strong protest, Su Ze still detained the crew in Changningwei.

Lin Mojun asked with some doubts:

"Should these Xiyi be reported to Haidao Yamen?"

Su Ze looked at the New World anchored outside the dock, he couldn't bear to hand over the ship to Fujian Haidao Yamen!

The New World is a 400-ton ocean-going ship!

Compared with the New World, Changningwei's Fuchuan is really too small.

If the New World hadn't been stranded, whether Changningwei could win the New World is still a question!

How could Su Ze give up the fat that was delivered to his door.

The entire Shinsekai is made of high-quality teak, which is a good shipbuilding wood from Southeast Asia, and because the ship is going to cross the Pacific Ocean, the materials used are very solid, and the trees are more than a few decades old. Ten years of air-drying the finest shipbuilding lumber!

In fact, during the Ming Dynasty, the firearm technology of the Ming Dynasty was not far behind. After discovering the lethality of Western firearms, the Ming court soon introduced imitation firearms.

The really backward shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty.

When Zheng He sailed to the Western Seas, Ming Dynasty was still able to build large ships for ocean voyages, but until now, Triton in the Ming Dynasty rarely kept its docks.

Not only was it impossible to build ships, but many warships lacked effective maintenance. For example, Changningwei originally had two large ships of 500 material, but later began to dismantle the large ships into medium ones, and some guards simply had only small boats left.

However, in this era, because the artillery has not widened the gap between generations, Daming can still protect the sea with small boats.

For example, in the Tuen Mun naval battle with the Portuguese and Ming, Ming used fireboats and jumping ship tactics to defeat the Portuguese fleet, making the Portuguese dare not use force to compete for Ming's ports.

This is also similar to the tactics adopted by the Ottomans in the Indian Ocean. In the era when the artillery had not yet formed an absolute advantage, relying on the ignited fireboat (Greek fire) and the flexible and maneuverable characteristics of the small boat, this kind of land power can still guarantee its own. Sea frontier security.

However, as the involution of maritime warfare technology intensified, various new shipbuilding technologies emerged in an endless stream. After the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army could no longer resist the strong ships and guns of the great powers.

Ming's ships, including Changningwei's Fuchuan, and Xiyang's sailboats are two different technical routes.

The ships of the Ming Dynasty basically sailed in the coastal areas, the wind was relatively gentle, and the requirements for wind control performance were relatively high, so the ships of the Ming Dynasty all had hard sails and vertical sails, but Western sailing ships had developed complex soft sails and flat sails.

In the Ming Dynasty, seagoing ships seldom sailed in the ocean. After the opening and closing of Longqing, most of the seagoing ships went as far as the Strait of Malacca. These sea areas are shallow and rocky, and they are more similar to inland seas. Therefore, small and medium-sized flat-bottomed ships are sufficient for sailing.

At this time, Xiyang's complicated sailing, large and difficult to control sailing boats are at a disadvantage.

For example, during the naval battle of Tuen Mun, the Ming army took advantage of the mobility of Portuguese warships that were not easy to turn around, and won the victory through fireboats.

But the Ming Dynasty ship has a major flaw, and that is the cannon.

The hull structure of the Ming Dynasty has a shallow draft, and the deck wood is not tight enough to bear the recoil of the naval guns. If the ship is not strong, the guns will naturally be disadvantaged.

This New World is a treasure to Su Ze.

But a baby is a baby. I don’t know what kind of dirty things are on board the ship sailing at sea these days.

You must know that the Black Death that swept across Europe was the plague spread by the rats on the ship. Who knows what terrible infectious disease these guys have.

Su Ze ordered New World to stop at sea outside the dock, sprinkle lime on the deck, and wait until a while before boarding the ship to dismantle the Franc cannon.

At the same time, Su Ze also strictly controlled Lin Liangjun and these little radish heads, prohibiting them from approaching the New World.

The next thing is the harvest this time. According to the rules of the sea today, the New World and the goods on board are the spoils of the Changning Guard.

Su Ze didn't worry about the Portuguese coming to seek revenge at all. There was no remote communication technology these days. Sailing on the sea was a very risky thing, and there were too many ships that sank in storms.

The Portuguese would not know that the New World was captured by Changning Guard. As long as they watched Captain Alfonso and his party, this ship belonged to Changning Guard!

The food on board is also Changningwei's property. Besides that, the six boxes full of spices are a huge income!

Pepper from Sumatra and clove from the Maluku Islands are very popular in Ming Dynasty!

It's a pity that this thing cannot be sold in Nanping County.

The reason is naturally that there are not many sales of these luxury goods in Nanping County.

If you want to sell these things, you can either go to Fuzhou City, the provincial capital of Fujian, or go to Yuegang, a smuggling base on the southeast coast.

It looks like he's about to go out.

Su Ze made some calculations. After going to school and returning to Changningwei in mid-July this time, Su Ze planned to go to Yuegang.

In addition to selling stolen goods, Su Ze also needs to buy more bird guns.

He wants to improve the bird gun, or make his own cannon in Changningwei, which also requires more materials and equipment, so he can improve his "firearms manufacturing" skills as soon as possible.

This time, the grounding of the New World made Su Ze feel the pressure of the coming wind and rain. In the 33rd year of Jiajing, the short-term peace of Changningwei and Nanping County made Su Ze relax. , whether it is Daming or the whole world, it is an era of endless turmoil.

Changningwei is still too weak!

Su Ze felt a sense of urgency again. In the next few days, Su Ze would read the book of war written by Yu Dayou, or go to the school grounds to discuss the art of war with Lin Mojun, trying to improve the art of war to Lv5 as soon as possible.

Lin Mojun did not object to Su Ze's practice of imprisoning these Xiyi. The Daming Navy also suffered heavy losses in the Tuen Mun naval battle. Lin Mojun did not like these Xiyi, but was worried that Su Ze's handling of Xiyi without authorization would attract people More somethin'.

Fortunately, Changning Guard is a small guard, and Su Ze strictly blocked the news of all the soldiers who participated in boarding the ship. Su Ze, an outsider such as the Chen family behind the mountain, had already taken precautions to prevent them from entering and leaving the guard casually. During this period of time, they should Can block messages.

Su Ze knew that King Lu would attack Fujian in a few months, and when Fujian would be in chaos, no one would pay attention to the disappearance of the Xiyi merchant ship.

But Alfonso is a senior captain who can sail from mainland Portugal to Malacca, and the crew on the New World are basically hired. For Chang Ningwei, these people are also quite useful "talents".

You must know that sailing is the most technical thing in this era. Although Su Ze has a system, it requires a large number of sailors and professional crew to operate a sea ship.

First isolate and imprison them for a period of time, Su Ze plans to recruit them after returning from the county seat.

The time soon came to July 14th, and it was time for Su Ze to enter the city again.

Yu's troupe has been rehearsing for a few days. Although there are still many unsatisfactory aspects of You Yuan Jing Meng's excerpt, it is already ready to perform on stage.

Su Ze took Yu's troupe back to the county seat, and sure enough, he met the anxious Yu Zongyuan at the gate of the county seat.

When Yu Zongyuan saw Su Ze, he immediately pulled Su Ze aside. Hearing that the troupe had finished training, Yu Zongyuan was overjoyed.

"Brother Su, you are my great benefactor!"

Yu Zongyuan also figured it out, now that his family has been separated, if he wants more family property, he needs to take good care of his wife.

Commander Yu's wife had always favored him as the youngest son, and Yu Zongyuan had grown up a lot in recent months, and he even won the favor of Commander Yu's wife.

Yu Zongyuan couldn't wait to see the results of the troupe's rehearsal, and then took out a bronzing invitation card and said:

"Brother Su, it's my mother's birthday in two days. This is an official invitation. I should have sent it to Changning Guard in person, but I'm afraid it will delay your rehearsal, so please be honored to attend."

Yu Zongyuan didn't know who he learned these two sentences from, and he said them in a polite manner. Su Ze was also very polite to his angel investors, and his invitation said:

"At that time, I will definitely come to the door and deliver the longevity instrument."

Last time, Yu Zongyuan talked about his mother's birthday invitation to Su Ze, so this time Su Ze also prepared a gift.

Yu Zongyuan immediately said politely: "My mother loves to listen to operas the most, and this opera is the best gift! How can Brother Su spend more money!"

Accompanied by Yu Zongyuan, Su Ze led the horse into the city. Naturally, the Cheng Dan in the county did not dare to search for the second young master Yu, so Su Ze entered the county soon.

After parting with Yu Zongyuan, he saw a familiar figure at the gate of the city.

"Brother Su!" It was Lin Qingcai's elder brother Lin Qingyuan who greeted Su Ze. He was recommended by Sun Dianshi to enter the household. Sun Dianshi originally pushed him to fight Xu Shisheng.

After Xu Shisheng's death, the county government's households were reshuffled, and the clerks and assistants related to Xu Shisheng were all pushed to the bench. Because Lin Qingyuan did not have Xu Shisheng's background, he got a fat errand to collect taxes at the city gate.

After seeing Su Ze, Lin Qingyuan pulled him enthusiastically and whispered:

"Brother Su, I inquired about a piece of news about you scholars in the household room."

Su Ze immediately pricked up his ears. Households are a key department of the county government, and Lin Qingyuan's news must be very important.

Lin Qingyuan said: "I heard that the imperial court is going to imprison Nanasu!"

PS

1. Portugal is really poor. When Da Gama’s fleet sailed to the Indian Ocean for the second time, it once captured a pilgrimage ship. Many of the ships were women and children who went on pilgrimage. At that time, a wealthy businessman was willing to pay 30,000 grams Luzardo came to redeem the people, but Da Gama still ordered the ship to be set on fire.

30,000 Cruzado was one-tenth of the income of the Portuguese royal family at that time.

2. At this time, it is true that the Portuguese controlled Malacca, but the Portuguese were indeed hippie colonists. From the time the Portuguese occupied to being driven out of Malacca, they all bought spices through trade, which is really incomparable to Daiying.

3. I will not talk about Northeast Asia in the future, and the above text will be changed to East Asia. Thank you for your correction.
