The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1235: Not a British Lord

Those who arrived first were three fast battleships, also known as shallow water heavy battleships, which were classified as the "Yellow River Class."

The "Yellow River Class" three-tier battleship, with a capacity of 450 people, is equipped with 26 18-pounders, 26 12-pounders, and 18 6-pounders, for a total of 70 artillery!

The primary task of this class of battleships is not to engage enemy battleships, but to declare force and peaceful violence, suppress hostile elements, pay attention to rapid response, and deploy to hotspots as soon as possible.

For this reason, this type of battleship does not blindly pile up firepower like other battleships, and no longer pursues that the artillery is thicker, larger and harder than others, but it is rare.

This type of warship is made of lighter cedar, has a displacement of 900 tons, is light in weight and has a shallow draft, and can enter rivers to fight.

Its protection is weakened, but additional armor can be added to enhance protection.

The design of the ship is to fight offshore and large rivers. The supply depends on the port, does not pursue self-sustainability, does not need to carry too many supplies, and reduces the weight.

Of course, battleships are the most important weapons of the country, and these ships are often followed by supply ships when they are dispatched.

This is the first large-scale ship in the southeastern country that realizes dual-purpose sails. Sails are usually used for sailing. People gain weight. This type of ship has 400 oarsmen ready to row 40 giant oars. , 5 people are needed for each oar to be able to paddle this type of warship.

Each long oar is as strong as a human leg. With such a "luxury" rower array, it is difficult to find a native of the country to row, so A Sanlai was hired through the "labor company" to row, and it was hard work.

Working hard, working in the dark cabin for many years, and the environment is harsh.

However, the Southeast Army did not treat the third brother badly. According to the king's instructions, regardless of the domestic army, there are river crabs and beasts that shine, and Ah San who comes to work is paid well.

Their food is full, and the third brother is very easy to raise compared to the arrogant soldiers and heroes of Southeastern countries.

They are vegetarian. They are curry soup and flying cakes when they are in Hong Kong or when the supply is reliable. Curry soup is a soup made from lentils, onions and curry. Sometimes they can also eat some chicken and carrots. Flying cakes are grilled. In the festival, milk is added to them to eat. It is a supreme delicacy. It only needs one dish. It is boiled with onions, tomatoes, potatoes, beans, peppers, spices, etc. into a pot of sticky things, red and red. Sour and spicy, tear a piece of flying cake, wrap the sticky dish with a sigh, put it in your mouth, it's a hearty meal.

They consume a lot of fats and starches in their diet. The southeastern country does not grow wheat, but after obtaining Tuao, it has become an important producer of wheat. The southeast country grows a large amount of corn, which can be used as flour and corn flour, alternately to the third brother For food, as for the oil, it is palm oil, and there is so much palm oil in the southeast.

Therefore, the cost of raising the third brother is very low. As a side note, in the southeastern country, as long as the people can get by, they will not use palm oil for vegetables, but use peanut oil.

The third brother usually only has one meal a day in China, but three meals a day on a paddle. In addition, there are snacks: peanut cakes or bean cakes that have been squeezed from peanuts and soybeans, and then fried and salted. , Add curry, become the supreme delicacy of the third oarsman.

Well, in Hong Kong, there is always a supply of tea, and it is enough. This is the treatment of the middle class in India.

Provide daily necessities for all three brothers, see a doctor when sick, pay a monthly salary, and get bonuses when fighting. Although it is far inferior to the generous income of the officers and soldiers of the Southeast Army, it is already a rich life for the compatriots in India. , So the three oarsmen are happy when they hear the battle, and they are more active than the Southeast Navy!

Under the shining light of the crab beast, the foreigners working in the Southeast and the Southeast Army are eagerly rushing to get a household registration book in the Southeast!

In the gloomy cabin, the three oarsmen yelled vigorously, yelling slogans neatly, and with strong muscles, the warship was driven by them and went straight into the white goose pond.

The three oarsmen were so swift and violent that they gave people an illusion that these three big ships suddenly appeared in the eyes of people on the shore and shocked them.

It was almost a wolf entering the flock, and the battleship immediately launched a fierce side attack on the moored rebel ship!

A salvo of artillery fires, the scene is simply broken for people who have never seen such a firing density!

In each round of volley, an enemy ship was blown to pieces, and the fragments scattered, like a goddess scattered flowers, and soon sank into the water.

The scene is hot and magnificent, as magnificent as watching a big drama.

Originally, a solid bomb would not have such a great power. For example, if two battleships blast each other, it is very likely that everyone will not sink for three hours. The PK of two battleship fleets may not sink several battleships in a day.

However, battleships fight ordinary ships, it is really one by one!

The 18-pound shell weighs tens of kilograms, enough to smash an ordinary ship without reinforcement.

In addition, the Southeast Fleet attaches great importance to the training of gunners, and the rate of fire of naval guns can reach one round per minute. It was the fastest fired among naval powers at that time. In close combat, gunners often fired two or three projectiles at a time~www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Or solid bullets and shot bullets for maximum damage.

In addition to the usual solid bullets, there were several types of shells in this period, such as shot bullets and chain bullets. The shotgun is actually an iron barrel, which is filled with dozens of lead shots. The barrel will decompose when it exits the chamber. So dozens of lead shots fly forward in a fan. The main role of the shotgun is to kill people. Chain bullets are two solid bullets connected by iron chains, mainly used to destroy masts and sails.

Alternately use three kinds of shells to beat the rebel fleet to death!

The artillery fire was violent and not counted, and it was accompanied by dense bullets. The Southeast Army used pointed lead bullets!

The bullets swept across the people on the mutiny ship like rain, and all standing fell down. Nothing was spared. The precise shooting scared the rest of the crowd into turtles.

The more advantageous "Yellow River-class" battleship was paddling with oars and moved flexibly. It drove all the way and blasted the rebel fleet as if it had been shot. There was no way to fight back.

Wherever they went, the ship was destroyed and people died, and those who didn't die jumped into the river to escape. There was a flood of people in the south of the Yangtze River. Fortunately, the sailors on the battleship did not shoot them, and there were no sharks in the river.

Gui Wang Zhu Youlang was so horrified that he almost broke. He caught the arm of Xu Xingfa, the former Guangzhou Tongzhi who was appointed by him as the prefect of Guangzhou, and cried out: "Isn't it said that there is no large fleet of the imperial court?"

Xu Xingfa's arm was caught by the nervous Zhu Youlang so painful that Xu Xingfa's face was distorted!

Once the fleet is defeated, you can't even escape. People have a large fleet, maybe there are large troops, how can you fight this battle?

In the cause of rebellion, winners and losers will be the winners of the Dragon Court, and failures will be fatal.

Under pressure, Zhu Youlang lost his temper and was beaten back to his original shape. The original grace and nobleness were gone, and he was anxious as if he had never seen the world. His words and behavior made people feel how he was. Can lead Ming to defeat the pirates in the South? !
