After careful study of "Gangster Tales on the Edge of the Swamp", a large number of heroes and heroes have come to the following conclusions:

First, if you want to live a good life, it is the key to rise from the pole;

Second, don't be afraid of officers and soldiers in the face of them, and seek security at critical moments;

Third, isn't it a good idea to be a leading party for the Ming army?

Wu Sangui's expression was bewildered when he faced all kinds of manipulations by those "heroes" in England.

Wu Sangui studied with Li Hongji that if he was to be this "hero" by himself, even if he knew that England was no longer saved, he would have to leave enough way back for himself.

For example, when you are leading the way for the army of the Ming Dynasty, you have to get enough benefits for yourself, even if you can't enjoy it, you have to leave something for your wife and children, right?

However, these barbarians didn't, it seems that the barbarians who are missing the tendons in their heads recognized the Daming card to seek the world, or that Emperor Chongzhen is the legendary prince charming who can kill the dragon and save the princess, and a large number of brain-dead fans appeared on the European continent hundreds of years in advance.

Wu Sangui is convinced, even if it is a brain-dead fan, then it should be my Ming people's brain-dead fans, what is it about you barbarians?

After pondering with Li Hongji for a long time, Wu Sangui and Li Hongji came to a conclusion together: barbarians don't read!

The reason why this conclusion was reached was because Wu Sangui and Li Hongji found through research that the barbarians basically did not know the benefits of literacy, and if they pulled an illiterate person out of the Ming Dynasty, he could give you a long time to talk about it, and by the way, he complained that he didn't understand what the children at home had learned in the school.

To sum up, it is trying to achieve a picture of an invisible pretending and not having that strength.

But no matter what you say, cherishing the opportunity to study, even if you can't learn, you have to force your children to study, it seems to be a feeling buried deep in the bones of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Barbarians don't have this kind of feeling.

A good castrated version of "Water Margin" is translated into "Gangster Tales by the Swamp", even if the barbarians still listen to others and then add their own understanding.

What impressed Wu Sangui and Li Hongji was that the barbarians preferred "Gangster Tales on the Edge of the Swamp" and were not too interested in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

That's a bunch of retards!

Is it a war now? At this time, if you don't study "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you go to ponder "Water Margin"? Did the donkey kick this head?

Even those Jiannu who don't learn and don't know how to use "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a soldier, and then learn some strategies from it and use them on the battlefield, and have achieved some results, you two fools just want to be green skin every day?

Of course, Wu Sangui doesn't care too much about whether the barbarians are studying or not, and Li Hongji naturally doesn't care either, both of them just decided to increase the discipline of their children and nephews in the family after they go back, and they will hang up and smoke if they don't study well!

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Wu Sangui's thinking that had just deviated was pulled back on track: "It's the derby ahead, Liverpool and Manchester, and Grimsby don't have to worry about these ports anymore, those grandsons of the navy have long been happy, and it is estimated that there are not many people left, but Leeds should still have some trouble." ”

Li Hongji heaved and said: "No way, how can we climb on the ground be better than those who swim in the sea, not to mention that they still have the help of flying in the sky." But then again, why are these barbarians so awkward in naming a place? ”

Shaking his head, Wu Sangui said, "Barbarians, who knows what they think." But it's nothing.,I'll definitely think of some good names when I go back to the household department.,It's not a big deal.。 ”

Li Hongji nodded and said, "Do you know what demon moths those grandsons of the navy have been tossing recently?" ”

Wu Sangui glanced at Li Hongji: "The big thing has been known to the whole world, except for those barbarians who don't know, how many people in our Ming army don't know?" Isn't it just some ironclad ship sea trial? ”

Li Hongji said with envy: "Ironclad ship, this is not as simple as wrapping a layer of iron sheet on the ship, but the entire battleship is made of steel, and it uses a steam engine on it, so no one needs to row it anymore." ”

Wu Sangui said: "Didn't you shout a few years ago to build an ironclad ship, how many years have passed before the sea trial, what's the big deal?" Besides, that's someone else's navy, and it has nothing to do with us, so it's useless for you to worry about it. ”

Hearing Wu Sangui say this, Li Hongji suddenly became a little deflated.

That's right, no matter how awesome other ironclad ships are, it's also a matter of other people's navy, what does it have to do with their own army? At most, it plays a transshipment role, and by the way, helping the army clean up the enemy's port is still here to rob the army of military merits?

Except for Li Hongji and Wu Sangui, almost all the army has the same attitude, anyway, those grandsons of the navy are here to grab military merits, and there is no good thing!

Emperor Chongzhen and Zhang Zhiji didn't see it that way.

From the perspective of the emperor and the big heads of the five military governors, the stronger the navy, the better, especially after seeing the vastness of the ocean, vigorously developing the navy has become the number one task of the five military governors.

Now that the first ironclad ship has finally been launched, and it is powered by a steam engine, Emperor Chongzhen and Zhang Zhiji naturally couldn't let go of such a good opportunity to pretend to be forced, and they came to the ship early.

After visiting the entire battleship, Zhang Zhiji's performance was like a dog's leg in some film and television dramas in later generations: "Your Majesty, this ironclad ship is stable, more stable than the lucky ship!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Zhang Zhiji's words, his face full of disgust: "You are delusional!" Now that there is no wind or waves, there is no difference between you standing on a lucky ship and standing on this ship! If you want to know whether this battleship is stable or not, you still have to see how it performs in the wind and waves. ”

Zhang Zhiji said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers have already asked, and the soldiers who came to Europe to control this battle armor all said that this ship is very stable, and it can definitely withstand strong winds and waves!" ”

Zhang Zhiji is so good at ironclad ships, he almost doesn't even want his face, just such a battleship, how much manpower and material resources did he spend on sailing from the Ming Dynasty to England?

Just along the way, in order to ensure that this battleship does not go wrong, the cost spent is enough to build two more treasure ships!

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not escape the law of true incense.

This ironclad ship is something that was only made under his own wise guidance, of course, it has to be developed well, as for wasting some manpower and material resources, it is very important? Have you ever heard of the words rich and capricious?

After pacing back and forth for a few steps, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "The advantages of this ironclad ship are known, but what are the disadvantages?" I don't believe it's flawed. ”

Zhang Zhiji bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the news reported so far, the biggest problem of this kind of ironclad ship is the lack of endurance.

If you want to ensure firepower, then the loading capacity of coal will be weakened, and similarly, if you want to ensure a certain endurance, then the firepower of this battleship will have to be reduced.

In fact, judging from the current situation, the firepower of this ironclad ship itself is in a state of serious insufficiency, at least weaker than the firepower of the treasure ship.

In addition, from the Ming Dynasty all the way to England, this warship has been replenished dozens of times along the way, each time replenishing water and coal.

If purely from the perspective of the battleship itself, this battleship is not comparable to the treasure ship in terms of firepower and endurance.

It's just that when sailing normally, and at the speed of sailing against the wind, this ironclad ship is far away from the treasure ship, especially when it is against the wind.

Judging from the current situation, the reference significance of this ironclad ship is greater than the actual combat significance, or it does not have any actual combat significance in itself. ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said: "It's not without actual combat significance, at least, the ironclad ship is far more solid than the treasure ship, and if it is also hit by a few shells, the treasure ship may catch fire, and the ironclad ship basically has no worries, right?" ”

Zhang Zhiji nodded and said, "Theoretically, this is indeed the case. And in terms of the protection of the ammunition depot, the ironclad ship is also much higher than the treasure ship. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "That is to say, the biggest factor restricting the actual combat capability of this ironclad ship is the problem of endurance and insufficient ammunition?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhiji nodded yes, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Then imitate the Fu ship, build a few large supply ships, and then let them form a formation to fight."

The supply ship is loaded with ammunition and coal, and does not participate in the actual battle, while the ironclad completes the protection of the supply ship while fighting, and even the hot air balloon can be loaded on the supply ship. ”

Thanks to the later generations of Eagle Sauce, Emperor Chongzhen once understood a word called aircraft carrier formation.

I don't know exactly what this thing is all about, but I still know a little.

It's nothing more than an aircraft carrier with fighters and helicopters on it, and then drag a large group of destroyers and gunboats as thugs, and by the way, you have to bring a supply ship as a wet nurse.

Daming naturally does not have the conditions and strength to come up with the kind of aircraft carrier formation that is so awesome that it can be bombed, but there is no problem with the simple version, and the biggest change is that the aircraft carrier itself has become a wet nurse, and no longer undertakes combat missions such as loading fighters.

In addition, primitive also has some benefits of primitive.

The aircraft carriers of later generations will not have any combat effectiveness, and even the ships in the entire aircraft carrier formation will serve the aircraft carriers.

The Ming version of the nurse aircraft carrier does not need much protection, in this era when there are no torpedoes and mines, the nurse aircraft carrier can completely install some artillery on itself, so as to have a certain self-protection ability and even combat capability.

The remaining problem lies in how to transform the existing Fu ship into an ironclad Fu ship, although the original Fu ship and treasure ship are awesome enough and big enough, but they are completely different from the design and manufacture of the ironclad ship.

In particular, the volume of the ironclad ship is not at all a little larger by adding an extra piece of iron, and the data involved in it that needs to be calculated is almost astronomical, and it has to be constantly experimented.

In the case of the ironclad ship where Emperor Chongzhen is now, from the design of the Royal Academy to the trial ship that has sailed to England now, there have been seven or eight versions in between.

In the era when there were no supercomputers, not even ordinary computers, and no auxiliary software such as AutoCAD, it was almost a desperate workload to rely on abacus to complete calculations and calculations.

What's even more fucking up is that every version has to be manufactured, and then the sea trials go from the first miniature version, to the small version tested on the lake, to the standard version of the offshore voyage, and then to the final ocean-going version, and the manpower and material resources spent in the middle can almost drag a small country to bankruptcy.

For now, only the Ming and Osmans can afford this astronomical expense.

The Ottoman Empire obviously did not have the foundation to develop the navy, even now that the Ottoman Empire is aware of the shortcomings of the navy and has been vigorously investing in the development of the navy, but the lack of hundreds of years of heritage still gives the Ottoman Empire a headache.

It is conceivable that now Emperor Chongzhen has proposed to re-iron the Fu Ship and finally make it a mother's version of the aircraft carrier, and the manpower and material resources required in this process are almost another astronomical amount.

It's just that Zhang Zhiji is not too worried about these costs.

No matter how much money the Royal Academy spends, it is actually Emperor Chongzhen's internal funds, and there is no need to go to the treasury for reimbursement at all, so there is no need to worry that Wu Ganlai, the old man, will refuse to approve the relevant budget.

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen is willing to spend money on all things related to research and development, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

The question at hand is how to make Emperor Chongzhen happy: "Your Majesty, this ironclad ship has proven its sailing ability, and there is basically no problem in terms of combat, does Your Majesty give it a name?" Just like a treasure ship and a fortune ship, this ironclad ship can't always be called an ironclad ship, right? ”

"Destroyer!"

The three words of the destroyer almost blurted out: "Driving aliens thousands of miles away, chasing the dead north to the depths of the ocean, it is called a destroyer!" ”

Zhang Zhiji bowed down and responded: "Thank you for your name!" ”

One sheep is to drive, two sheep are also released, Emperor Chongzhen simply said: "At present, since this destroyer is a battleship for sea trials, and it is also the first destroyer of my Ming Dynasty that can be used for actual combat, it is really a bit groundbreaking, so it is called Pangu." ”

Zhang Zhiji couldn't help but gasp, Pangu No.? You dare to use his old man's name? The word of heaven is willful?

After wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Zhang Zhiji said again: "Your Majesty, in the future, the Ming fleet will use this destroyer as the main force?" Did the original fortune ships and treasure ships be sold to the Ottoman barbarians? ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "It's okay in the future, but not now." ”
