The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 2453: Yang will reach the top (1)

Genius remembers this site address in one second: []The fastest update! No ads! As the emperor fought, he made history if he was not careful!

Yan Changwu once said to his officers: "You follow me in war, not only to gain money, status and honor, but more importantly, you will leave a name in military history and put it in history as a victor. Money is hard to change. Therefore, you must work hard, work hard at all times, and never give up!"

Sure enough, we will soon make history and refresh history!

Needless to say anything, the officers are determined to fight the battle well and win this battle!

Compared with the previous battles, the South China Fleet has increased in number and reduced the types of battleships. The oldest "South China Sea-class" third-tier battleships have all withdrawn from the front line, which is very conducive to logistical supplies.

There are many types of white-skinned battleships. For example, there are 37 Spanish battleships and at least Type 6 battleships. The other white-skinned battleships are not much better, and Spain’s artillery types and calibers are not compatible with each other. It is universal, and the warships are of the same model, so it is convenient to be able to fight on other ships.

Facing the upcoming battle, the general expressed his confidence that he would win!

Yan Donglai did his part, and personally assigned the task. He was in the Central Army and took the Imperial-class battleship No. 1 as the flagship.

The battleship of the former army, led by Siresma, Cheng Yu and Zhao Tianjing, the lieutenants are Liu Guoxuan, Shi Lang, and Yang Zu;

The battleships of the Chinese army were in charge of Yan Donglai, Cabot, and Shi Daxuan. The lieutenants were Zhang Jin, Weng Tianyou, and Gan Tang;

The latter battleships were led by Xiao Changrong, Yan Zhang, and Kostit. The lieutenants were Zhang Shili, Zhang Qiang, and Xu Weiye;

Everyone was indifferent. This was the arrangement of the generals in the last Mediterranean War. Yan Donglai did the same without making any changes.

As the forwards, Siresma, Cheng Yu and Zhao Tianjing are extremely satisfied. They are also madmen who are keen to rush into the battle. Such an arrangement could not be better.

There was a foreign general among the high-ranking officials. Cabot grinned. See what he got?

An "Empire Class" Tier 1 battleship!

The Empire-class battleship is the pride of the Southeastern Navy. It has a light load displacement of tons, a full load displacement of tons, and there are officers and soldiers on board.

But it was too big and heavy. Siresma, who was more experienced than Cabot, liked fast battleships, so Cabot got on a super battleship!

In this way, all of a sudden the four bosses agreed with Yan Donglai's marching formation. Even if the other four bosses disagreed, they passed five to four. Everyone had no choice but to agree.

After the meeting broke up, they returned to the team. Cabot happily took office on the second ship of the "Imperial Class" like a spring on his feet!

A big ship is good. He doesn't have to climb on a decent monkey when he boarded the ship. In order to ensure the integrity of the battleship, he generally does not damage the structure of the battleship, so he does not use springboards. From outside the ship to board the ship, from generals to small soldiers, all have to climb rope ladders, without exception.

If you don’t climb the rope ladder, there is a hoist next to each battleship to load and unload cargo and use the gondola to lift the wounded or sick. So it is better to climb the rope ladder. This shows that you are healthy and have the strength to climb!

The first class battleship is different. An opening is opened on the upper gun deck of the ship, where the gangway can be lowered, and people walk from the dock to the battleship.

Since there is a gangway, why not use it, so Cabot gave the order and the battleship drove from the anchorage at sea to the side of the dock.

When Cabot brought his guards to the pier, he saw the majestic body of the first-class battleship moored by the pier.

The first-class battleship, with a length of meters and a width of meters, is really tall and majestic, like a hill!

Cabot looked at the hull number painted with gold letters "", which represents nobleness, and the rest of the battleships are non-zero double or triple digits!

If the ship number is "", it means that this is an imperial ship, and the emperor is here!

The gangway covered with scarlet curtain went straight to the pier. When he stepped onto the gangway, he heard a welcome song from the battleship.

Due to the wealth of the South China Empire, all the battleships purchased musical instruments, and the sailors played in guest bands, which can be used to inspire morale during wartime and enrich the sailors' spare time.

Then the star officer on the "Imperial Class" No. 2 ship shouted: "Admiral board!"

Cabot took a deep breath and walked on the ship!

"Welcome the admiral to board the ship!" When Cabot stepped onto the open deck of the battleship, the honor guard made up of a hundred officers and soldiers on the ship raised their hands to welcome him, and the rest of the sailors lined up behind. Array.

Ordinary officers cannot enjoy such a pomp, but as an admiral of the South China Navy, Cabot, who has participated in many sea battles and served as governor, is qualified to enjoy this welcome ceremony.

"Report to Admiral, the captain of this ship, Yan Tianen, report to Admiral, welcome the admiral to board the ship, and all the crew!" A strong naval colonel raised his hand to greet Cabot and welcomed him.

His surname is Yan!

Cabot has been in China for many years. He has long known the worldliness and dared not to be arrogant. He repaid Colonel Yan and said peacefully, "The captain has worked hard!"

Colonel Yan gave him a brief introduction to the main officers on the ship, deputy commander Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Yide, political officer Lieutenant Colonel Cheng Jiajun, Marine Corps officer Lieutenant Colonel Meng Jianguo, Chief Navigator Zhang Jiandong, Deputy Chief Navigation Officer Captain Chen Jining, Captain Xu Hongzhong, Guns Chief Yang Xia, deputy gunners Captain He Yixiang and Zhang Zhenliang, chief of affairs Captain Su Zheng, and sailor Guo Xiangming, senior non-commissioned officers.

Cabot glanced at them, and he knew that none of them were wilted, they were all first-class heroes.

The officers who can be transferred to the first-class battleship are all non-competitive. They are young and powerful, capable of movement, and proficient in business.

Hearing that Zhang Yide and Cheng Jiajun both have the certificate of navigator, Cabot grinned: "Excellent, so this ship has seven navy officers, so you don't have to work so **** night duty!"

Everyone laughed too. Among the naval business officers, the navy officer is the most respected. The maneuvering of the sailing ship is troublesome. There are so many navy officers on the second ship, which is still a benefit of the large ship.

First raise the national flag and sing the national anthem!

The on-board band showed their talents and skillfully played the national anthem. Cabot sang "If Tomorrow War" with all the officers and soldiers: "If there is a war tomorrow, if the enemy attacks, if he dares to attack us, all the people of the empire are united like this. One person beat the enemy to the point of falling into trouble..."

The national flag rose to the top of the mast, UU reading www.uukahnshu.com and then in the light and happy tune of the Cantonese music "Successful Order", Cabot's four-star generals flag was raised!

When his general flag was raised, it showed that he was the out-and-out supreme officer of the ship.

Accompanied by Colonel Yan holding a saber, Cabot inspected the honor guard of the ship.

The non-commissioned officers and sailors were holding muskets. They were tall and strong, stood upright, and wore delicate uniforms. The dazzling blue and white on the deck were very conspicuous on the shiny deck.

Everyone looked at him intently, and even Cabot, who had experienced many battles, felt the pride and satisfaction on this huge cannon ship!

He, a mere foreign general, was able to reach the top of his life in the east tens of thousands of miles away from his hometown of England!

Instead, the fleet of other maritime powers can command such a large ship, only the royal family, right? !

And he Cabot, when he came to the East, was just the second son of the little lord of an unwilling place, the kind of little role that he didn't even have the right to inherit!
