Chapter 303: The American Continent
The inspection of Langya Shipyard can be described as a very successful one.
You know, at the beginning, Li Yang felt that this trip to the south to inspect the shipyard would allow the shipbuilders to change the flat bottom to the pointed bottom, and the hard sail to the soft sail would be good.
Because Li Yang himself doesn't know how to build ships, he only knows what more advanced ships are like. Therefore, it is more difficult to guide others to improve more advanced seagoing ships based on this description alone.
It's like a university professor describing polymers to elementary school students, which is obviously impossible for primary school students to understand and integrate into the application.
However, what Li Yang didn't expect was that in this Langya Shipyard, there would be such a head of the Gongyi family who was the most proficient in machine craftsmanship today.
It is precisely because of the encounter with such a talent that this time it was very successful to teach the technology of the clipper in later generations.
The clipper is an advanced high-speed sea ship invented in the 30s of the 20th century, and it represents the pinnacle of sailing technology. Now, if the Gong Loss Book can understand and build the technology of this flying clipper, then there is no doubt that Daqin will become the world's maritime hegemon.
What's more, the public loss book actually invented artillery, which is amazing for my country.
Although the artillery at this time only used the explosive power of gunpowder to shoot out iron balls and stones, this was already a smoothbore artillery.
You must know that in the original history, it was not until the middle of the 13th century that the "assault gun" made of bamboo barrels appeared in China, which was the first time that mankind used gunpowder to launch projectiles.
It was not until the end of the 13th century that smoothbore artillery first appeared in China, called the fire gun. Chinese gunpowder and firearms soon spread to the West, and artillery developed rapidly in Europe.
In the first half of the 14th century, Europe created a short, thick-barreled artillery called a mortar that fired stone projectiles. The power of the mortar cannon is already very large, and Bai can kill and damage the enemy in a large area at a long distance.
And the mortar cannon that fired stone projectiles in Europe in the 14th century was not the so-called "scatter bomb launcher" invented at this time?
In other words, the artillery of the public register directly advanced the historical process of gunpowder and artillery to the level of Europe in the first half of the 14th century.
Coupled with Li Yang's improvement guidance, such as reducing the caliber of the barrel, the range of scattered bullets can be increased; For example, spherical solid shells and explosive shells that are loaded from the muzzle and fired.
It is conceivable that it will not be long before such a gun is mass-produced and installed on both sides of the ship for naval warfare, and it is simply an invincible existence at sea.
In particular, if the explosive bomb is also invented, then the power of this cannon will be even greater. It can be said that whoever has more artillery that can fire explosive shells in a war has the initiative.
This is true on land, and even more so at sea.
Just imagine, Daqin's sea ships and warships are engaged in battles with the enemy's sea ships, and several cannons bombard them from a long distance, and the result is not to think about it at all, it must be crushing.
At that time, there is no doubt that Daqin's ships will be in any sea area in the world, and they will be able to take the steps of not recognizing their six relatives.
If anyone is not convinced, we will send ships over and bombard them with artillery.
If anyone is not convinced, we will send the army over, and the Great Qin Iron Cavalry and Qin Crossbow are also the existence that sweeps everything.
All in all, Da Qin is Dad!
Whoever doesn't shout Daddy, I'll hit whomever I want.
Thinking of this, Li Yang felt that he was going to die.
With flying clippers and cannons, it is no longer a dream for Daqin to dominate Qinqiu.
Li Yang had already thought about it, and before Qin Shi Huang returned to China, he first unified Qiang, set up three provinces of Yunnan, Tibet, and Sichuan, and then unified the Yueshi and set up two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia, and then continued to destroy Wusun, Qinghai Province, and then Loulan and other more than a dozen small countries in the Western Regions, and set up Xinjiang Province, so that China's territory would be much more pleasing to the eye.
Then, after Qin Shi Huang returned to China, he could make contact with all the countries of the world and realize the ideal of dominating the world step by step......
Just when Li Yang was planning to let Daqin realize the ideal of enriching the people and strengthening the country and dominating the world, he was on the other side of the world......
Americas.
At this time, after nearly half a year of sailing, the Daqin fleet finally came to the coast of the American continent today.
Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, standing on the deck of the bow of the ship, although after half a year of sea sailing, the whole person has become a little old and haggard, but when he saw a piece of continental land exposed in front of him, the whole person became excited and excited.
"Shao Haozhou, I've finally arrived!"
Ying Zheng's face was full of red light, and he was full of spirit, looked at the land in front of him, and laughed.
He was really excited, not only because he could finally land after sailing for half a year, and not just because he saw the Shaohao Continent for the first time, but because on the continent in front of him, there was a city-state of Shaohao Kingdom, which was the land of Great Qin overseas.
In the thousands of years of Chinese civilization, he was the first emperor in history to set foot on an overseas continent to receive the land, can this not make Ying Zheng feel enthusiastic?
Although he only brought 30,000 troops this time, he could not rule the entire continent in front of him for a while. However, Qin Shi Huang, who was bent on ruling the whole world, still couldn't help but want to show the majesty of Great Qin on this continent.
He has thought about it, as soon as he arrives in Shaohao this time, he will plant the black flag all over Shaohao City. At the same time, lead the 30,000 Qin army to sweep all the tribes and city-states that are enemies of Shaohao on all sides, and let them know that Great Qin is inviolable! Those who are enemies of Great Qin will be punished!
At the same time, Ying Zheng also planned on the road to abolish the city-state tribe of Shaohao, expand the territory to the surrounding areas, annex all the surrounding tribes and city-states that were enemies of Shaohao, set up counties and township pavilions, and set up provinces when the territory was large.
At that time, Shaohao can truly be called Shaohao State.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a wave of pride and ambition in his heart, pointed to the continent in front of him, and said: "I, I will definitely carry the great prestige of the Great Qin Empire across this continent!" Let the world here know that my Great Qin Emperor is powerful! ”
Meng Tian and Li Youzhu, who were behind him, were also shocked, and said in unison: "I am willing to follow Your Majesty, crisscross this place, and build my Great Qin prestige!" ”
"Good! Hahaha! ”
When Ying Zheng heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed.
This wild laugh, but with his unwavering self-confidence and great ambition.
This wild laugh laughed at his ambition to change the world.
At this moment, he is full of pride, and at this moment, he is proud of the past and the present!
