Oddly enough, for some reason, when I was little, I tried my best to pretend to be an adult, and when I was no longer a child, I wanted to be like a child.

- Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy (one of the most outstanding writers in the history of world literature)

The tragedy of Kurijima is that the Oda family he has taken refuge in already has pirate daimyo like Kuki Yoshitaka, which means that Kurijima Tsuto, who has lost his roots, still cannot be valued by the Oda family, even if he has the main force of the Tsujima Navy.

I wanted to negotiate with the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka to surrender to Cheng, but the high-ranking and powerful minister of the Oda family, Takigawa Kazuki, and the one who brought the lead to the general of the Oda family was Yushiba Hideyoshi, who had just been promoted to the general of the Oda family; no matter what the future of Takigawa Ichiyi and Hashiba Hideyoshi is, at least at this stage, the status disparity between them is very large, and Yushiba Hideyoshi is not as good as Takigawa Ichiyoshi.

The Oda family, which has the two major naval forces of Kumano and Kurishima, already has the most powerful naval force in the Yamato Empire, followed by the Maori family, which is naturally the three major naval forces of Nojima, Innoshima, and Kobayakawa.

Although the scale of the naval armies of other families is not as large as that of the Oda and Mori families, the naval generals of some families are excellent generals whose abilities are not much worse than those of the Yamato naval army; for example, the general of the Takeda family's naval army, Mukai Masatsune, the general of the Otomo family's naval army, Wakabayashi Zhenxing, the general of the Miyoshi family's naval army, Asutaka Fuyasu, and the general of the Hojo family's naval army, Sakuhara Keizune, and so on.

In addition, Okamoto Suiyuansai and Masaki Tokitada of the Satomi family, Ikeyoriwa of the Nagamune Ibu family, and Suna Tsunatsu of the Kono family, these naval generals who were born into a family of naval generals, are also proficient in water warfare comparable to ordinary generals.

Comparatively speaking, the loose pirate forces on Sado Island are much worse in terms of size and combat effectiveness, and even so, in Hokuriku, which is seriously lacking in a strong naval force, the Sado pirates are still the strongest naval force on the sea!

Before learning more about the strength of the Sado pirate forces, Nams was more concerned about the combat power of the various conventional warships of the Yamato Empire, and the ironclad ships that were built with countless manpower, material and financial resources like the Oda family were no longer in the scope of Naams's attention.

Because since the Oda family built seven ironclad ships, the number of ironclad ships in the entire Yamato Empire is still seven, which shows how difficult it is to build ironclad ships, and the number of such unconventional special warships is scarce, and Nams plans to study it further in the future.

Today's Yamato Imperial warships, the performance from small to large is mainly divided into three kinds, namely, Xiaozao, Guanship, and Ataku; these three warships are flat-bottomed pulp ships, the main power is the oar, the sail is its auxiliary power, and the sail is used in peacetime and the pulp is used in wartime.

The size of these three types of warships is not large, the smallest Xiaozao is basically only about ten meters, the form of the ship is different, but the maximum will not exceed forty meters, and the largest house is basically the fire defense strengthened type of the ship, and the size difference is not very large.

The main structure of this type of warship is to erect planks on the side of the ship for defense, and large ships will build closed cabins on the bottom of the ship, forming a peculiar box structure, and its main offensive methods are bows and arrows, as well as white-knuckle combat on the side.

Due to the lack of keels, the ocean-going ability of these three warships is basically zero, the impact resistance is extremely poor, and the structure of the upper and lower integration also makes the center of gravity of the warship unstable, the wave resistance is extremely poor, and it cannot be equipped with heavy firearms; coupled with the extreme lack of hardwood in the territory of the Yamato Empire, the hull of the warship is very fragile and cannot withstand the angle of attack tactics.

The only advantage of this type of ship is that it is more maneuverable and has a strong ability to engage in close flanges, but in general it is very unsuitable for naval engagement, and even offshore engagements are extremely reluctant.

Due to the objective needs of the war, the major families of the Yamato Empire could only adopt the design idea of adding functions horizontally to improve the combat capability of the warships under the condition that they could not promote technological progress;

The so-called "Xiaozao" is an abbreviation for a small ship, and the word "early" means fast in the Yamato Empire, so the name "Kozao" vividly describes the characteristics of this kind of warship, which is small and fast; the problem is that the time taken by the Yamato Empire to structure this structure is a little too long! It is too wide!

The Yamato Empire used this kind of warship when the emperor was in power, and it also used this kind of warship when the emperor was not in power, and it was used 300 years ago, and it is still using this kind of warship, which is rather speechless; for hundreds of years, the Yamato Empire did not make any progress in the technology of warships, but with the continuous accumulation of volume in the Warring States Period, the main warships of the Yamato Empire's naval armies appeared.

However, in Nams's view, such a small customs station can only bully fishing boats in the inland and offshore seas; once they come to the deep sea, they only need a wave to hit them, and whether the ships can float on the sea is a problem.

If the war between the daimyo of the Yamato Empire was fought by the village chief, which distorted the facts and deliberately belittled it, then it is really not too much of a problem to say that the battle between the naval armies of the major families of the Yamato Empire was a sampan fight, and it can even be described as a description close to the image.

The basic structure of the ship can be understood as the addition of a box-shaped hull on the surface of the morning morning, which looks like a box on a wooden strip, and this design trend may have appeared as early as the time when the emperor was in power, and the reason for this reason may have been to increase the range of long-range weapons in water warfare, and this logic drove the continuous increase in height and reinforcement of the hull, and finally formed such a unique box-shaped structure.

As for the Ataka Ship, which was the largest of the various warships of the Yamato Empire, no one seemed to be able to say the origin of its name, and even the captains of the Namus Capture were not very clear about the origin of the name of the Ataku Ship, they only knew that the Ataku Ship was the most powerful warship.

Of course, the names of these captains as the strongest naval ship of the Ataka Ship are not worthy of the name, because the Oda family's ironclad ship has replaced the Ataka Ship as the real strongest warship of the Yamato Empire;

However, it is true that this kind of large warship, which has lost even the only advantage of flexibility, is not the main warship of the navy of the major families of the Yamato Empire;

On top of this peculiar ship structure, the tactics of the Yamato Empire's naval forces were also greatly limited, and they always stayed on the three major routines of ancient naval warfare - bows and arrows, arson, and white blades; This can basically summarize all the tactics of the Yamato Empire's water war, all of which are full of backwardness.
