In his past and present lives, Fang Jun was an energetic person.

Usually energetic people have a lot of interests and a wide range of hobbies, in his previous life, Fang Jun was a BB party, and he was also a believer in the multi-turret god cult, and he was well-known in some military forums.

What is a "BB Party"?

It is the follower of the cannon of the giant ship.

In the group of the "BB Party", there is such a twenty-five mantra "The mantra is bigger hull, thicker armor, stronger main guns, more secondary guns, higher speed!"

Someone once said that the "BB party" is obsessive-compulsive, and they have strict requirements for the life around them, such as drying clothes, getting used to stringing all kinds of underwear together, using static pulleys to slowly pull out the window, and sometimes saluting at the end; For example, he despises all cars smaller than himself, bows to a 30-ton container truck, throws stones at the opposite car at top speed when he meets the car and tries to form a straddle, and even dreams of installing an angle of attack in front of his car......

So, as a lover of giant ship cannons, how can you not be clear about the world's first sail battleship "Sea Sovereign"?

So, how can you tell if you are a "BB party"?

Someone once joked, saying that from the reaction to watching "Titanic", you can clearly distinguish which kind of battleship you are a fan of:

BB Party: The armor is not strong, and it should be sunk.

CV Party: Without the overall fleet, something is stupid.

SS Party: There is a conspiracy! Must have been ambushed by a submarine!

DD Party: The boat is small and good to turn around......

Now Fang Jun has cloned the data of the "Sea Sovereignty", and plans to copy such an invincible sail battleship at sea for a thousand years. Although the ship was launched for half a century without a few battles, it was finally destroyed by the wrong operation of a cook, which caused the entire ship to burn......

Although the "Sea Sovereign" was born in Europe in the middle of the 17th century, but at that time Europe had not yet carried out the industrial revolution, the huge hull of the "Sea Sovereign" was all wood, according to the current level of shipbuilding in the Tang Dynasty, there must be a lot of suffering, but it is entirely possible to build it.

As long as you imagine more than a dozen sail battleships lined up, the rumbling of guns and the smoke of gunpowder, Fang Jun, who is a "BB party", is a little enthusiastic......

However, in Su Dingfang's opinion, not to mention whether such a huge warship can be built, even if it is, how many sails do you have to hang to drive him to sail on the sea? Moreover, such a huge hull greatly increases the wind-bearing area, and I am afraid that it will be over in a gust of wind......

Seeing Su Dingfang's constipated expression, Fang Jun smiled: "What, do you think this drawing is purely nonsense?" ”

Su Dingfang was silent, which was tantamount to acquiescence.

Fang Jun was helpless, this ship was indeed a little too ahead of its time, in this era when a twenty or thirty-meter battleship was already considered a "behemoth", it really crushed people's cognition.

If you tell Su Dingfang yourself, we will build an ironclad ship in the future...... I don't know if I will be regarded as a madman by Su Dingfang?

The iron bump still wants to float on the water?

Hehe......

Fang Jun had to say: "You are not a shipwright, you are not qualified to say that it will not work, bring the drawings back, and let Zheng Kunchang and their father and son lead the shipwright to ponder, it must be feasible." ”

Su Dingfang had no choice but to say: "The last general will obey the order." ”

When he closed the drawing in his hand, he caught a glimpse of a few words written on the back page, "Royal Princess"...... Su Dingfang's eyelids twitched, and he felt that he had insight into Fang Jun's motive for being so persistent in building such a completely unreliable super battleship, did he want the emperor to show the affection of husband and wife to win the emperor's favor?

I have to say, it is indeed a good means.

As a father, seeing his son-in-law love his daughter so much, he even built a super battleship that is unparalleled in the world to please him...... This kid seems to be a mallet, but in fact his scheming is unfathomable!

……

The matter of the sailor came to an end, and the two began to chat.

"How is the movement of soldiers and horses in Jiangnan?"

Fang Jun motioned for Su Dingfang to drink tea and asked.

Su Dingfang held the teacup and said: "At present, the mobilization of soldiers and horses is not too frequent, after all, the main force of the Eastern Expedition is the Sixteen Wei Army, Your Majesty is definitely going to drive the expedition in person, and the land route is the main force of the Eastern Expedition. On the one hand, transporting grain and grass and baggage from the sea bypassed Dengju to supply the main army, and on the other hand, it was mainly to attack and defeat the Goguryeo naval army. These two tasks are easy in terms of the current combat effectiveness of our naval division, so the current mobilization of Jiangnan soldiers and horses is mainly responsible for transporting all kinds of baggage to various ports, so that they can be transported to sea in time after the war is launched. ”

Fang Jun nodded.

This is the way of war of the Central Plains Dynasty for more than 1,000 years, attacking cities and conquering land, every inch of land must be contested, even if it is mainly by water, it can reach Pyongyang City, the royal capital of Goguryeo, and destroy the Goguryeo royal family with a thunderous force, it is impossible to be adopted, which is the "generation gap" in the perception of war.

There is another important reason, that is, people all over the world think that the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo will inevitably succeed, just ask such a great feat, as long as it is a little bit of profit, it is enough to make future generations lie on the merit book and eat the old book, how can those proud soldiers and fierce generals who followed His Majesty Li Er's southern expedition and northern war make this great merit easily taken away by the sailors?

Therefore, even if the strength of the imperial sailors is ten times stronger, the main force of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo will inevitably be launched by land, and the sailors can only follow the soy sauce......

Fang Jun sighed and said helplessly: "At the beginning, I never thought of summoning you to the water division, but you couldn't leap your horse and raise your sword to attack the city, and you could only float on the sea to transport the baggage ...... with great merit."

Such a grand battle represents a supreme feat, who would be willing to play soy sauce?

Su Dingfang groaned slightly, raised his eyes and asked, "It seems that Master Hou also feels ...... Is Goguryeo vulnerable? ”

"Huh?"

Fang Jun was slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?" ”

In history, His Majesty Li Er's eastward expedition to Goguryeo was indeed a failure, but the current Tang Dynasty is by no means different from the Tang Dynasty in history!

Countless Linyi rice drifted to the Tang Dynasty by sea, more than enough to supply the army, the armament and armor equipped were more abundant and more sophisticated, and there were siege artifacts such as earth-shaking thunder and artillery, how could it be possible to repeat the scene in history?

Su Dingfang leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Please forgive the last general for being reckless...... In the eyes of the last general, Goguryeo may not be as weak as imagined, otherwise Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would not have been defeated every time in the three eastern crusades, and the foundation of the empire would have been exhausted? It is true that Goguryeo is like a dwarf with short body and strength compared to the Tang Dynasty, but it is by no means without the strength to fight. It's fine if the army can drive straight in, but once it is blocked in a certain place, it is very easy to release and change......"

Speaking of this, Su Dingfang's eyes were scorching, and he said word for word: "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" ”

Fang Jun was stunned.

The arrogant army will be defeated?!

Thinking about it carefully, Su Dingfang's words really make sense......

In history, the reason why His Majesty Li Er's Eastern Crusade failed was because of his strength?

Definitely not.

Compared with Goguryeo, which lives in the northeast corner, the Tang Dynasty has gone through the Zhenguan period of recuperation and hard work, and His Majesty Li Er has set his eyes on Goguryeo since the day he ascended the throne......

Such a result is by no means the result of strength.

Only the morale of the military can explain it......

The Tang Dynasty is full of confidence that Goguryeo is in the bag, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers will be invincible, and it is just around the corner to include Goguryeo, a land that has never been conquered since ancient times, into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

However, just like Su Dingfang's sentence "The proud army will be defeated", from His Majesty Li Er to the generals in the army, no one has ever thought about what they would do if they fail, so when the army was full of ambition to attack the city all the way, but when it was sniped under the city of Anshi, it immediately lost morale, the army was unstable, and the unfavorable factors such as the long distance and the inconvenient transportation of the baggage finally led to a defeat.

Therefore, even if the Tang Dynasty in this life is stronger than in history, it is not without the possibility of failure......

Fang Jun's heart jumped suddenly, and he subconsciously said: "So, our sailor has a chance to turn the tide with all his strength?" ”

Su Dingfang looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "According to the last general's opinion, it is indeed possible, but the last general would rather not have such a meritorious feat that turned the tide into the fall." ”

Because once the Eastern Expedition relies on the commander of the naval division to drive straight into and annihilate the city of Pyongyang to decide the victory, it means that the landing route army has collapsed and there is no longer an inch of advance, which means that it will inevitably suffer a series of defeats, and I don't know how many Han family sons and daughters are buried in Liaodong and their souls cannot return to their hometowns......
