finally got Zheng Keshuang away again, and earned more than 10 million, although Zheng Keshuang owed 30 million, but they didn't get anything, right?

More than 900 ships, can they be driven away in one go?

This time, only one hundred and twenty ships were sailed away, and twenty were ships of the Third Fleet escorting the ship, and the sailors and officers and men were also from the Third Fleet.

Zhang Qiang patted his head, as if he had already driven away more than 300 ships, more than 200 last time, more than 100 this time, more than 900 last time plus more than 700 this time.

In other words, more than 700 ships were actually decommissioned this time.

If the more than 700 ships were divided into six fleets, it would not actually damage the combat effectiveness of the fleet, and the naval fleet of the Huaxia Kingdom was divided from the original one fleet to two fleets, from two fleets to three fleets, and then from three to four, and from four to six, each of which actually retained 200 warships of more than 800 tons, and even if it was not enough, it was quickly built by the warships and warship shipyards in the rear.

The difference in age between the ships of the first and second fleets was only three years.

The earliest of the First Fleet, using the Ming Dynasty's Fu ship and Guangzhou ship to remodel, after the decommissioning, part of it was transformed and sold to the merchants, part of it was lost to the Yangtze River Navy Division Garrison, the Yangtze River Navy Division Garrison was prepared in Hangzhou Mansion for the capture of Jinling Mansion, and later stationed in Jinling Mansion and successively accepted some modified ships of the First Fleet, these ships are actually Clark type armed merchant ships made by the Huaxia Army itself.

Most of these ships were 180-300 ton warships, which were warships at that time.

With the creation of the Second Fleet, the First Fleet was separated, and the Second Fleet also had the first generation of modified ships about seventeen years ago, and the tonnage had been increased to three hundred and fifty tons.

When the Third Fleet was founded, the warships of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet already possessed the types of ships of 380 to 500 tons and 320 tons of ships.

At this time, it was time to confront the Qing army along the Yangtze River with Hong Chengchou, and the Yangtze River Naval Division Garrison officially accepted more old ships that had been withdrawn, and two years later, the new Galen ships also came out.

The tonnage reached five hundred tons.

The shipyards that swarmed out of the country made it impossible to count the warships of the First and Second Fleets, and the old ships of 15 years were all withdrawn to the garrison of the Yangtze River Naval Division, and there were also dozens of large ships of 180 tons, 300 tons, and even 500 tons that had captured the enemy.

Later, other coastal naval divisions appeared, which at that time were called the Municipal Maritime Division, which were used to patrol and maintain order within twelve nautical miles of the coast.

The First and Second Fleets began to be replaced with new Galen ships, and the number of old ships accepted by the Naval Fleet and the Municipal Fleet reached 1,000.

The Third Fleet came out twelve years ago.

The Galen ship has also been from the first generation fifteen years ago to the third generation for twelve years, at this time, the Yangtze River Navy fleet in addition to retaining a part of the second generation of Galen ships, their old ships have also been retired to the city ship division, at this time the city ship division is here in Hangzhou, the third fleet is separated, and from the first and second fleets where to accept a part of the old ships, the fourth fleet also came out, at this time it is time to help Li Dingguo against the Southern Ming Kingdom.

When the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet landed in Baodao Prefecture and began to defend Baozhongfu, the fourth generation was actually the Huaxia Naval Division warships that had increased their tonnage, 500 tons, 600 tons, and they were already the ship type ten years ago.

At the time of the attack on Annam, the old Fu ships and the old Guang ships had basically been eliminated, and a small number of old Fu ships and old Guang ships were left in the fleet, most of which were dismantled or sold to merchants, and at this time the merchants' maritime trade had been vigorously developed.

Most of them were also sold to Zheng Chenggong, some Han families in Nanyang.

Even the warships of the Ichiboshi Division have been changed, and they are no longer Daifuku ships and Daihiro ships, and they have also used the previous warships and warships.

The reason why there are still some old ships now, as well as the warships of 17 years ago, is because the Yangtze River Naval Division Garrison kept a lot of old ships for the battle with Hong Chengchou's Qing army, mainly for the purpose of transporting landing troops, these old ships also have the armed forces, and can bombard the enemy's coastal fortifications while transporting troops.

This time, Zhang Qiang disposed of the old ships of the Yangtze River Naval Division Garrison to Xinlu Mansion and the Third Prince, as well as Zheng Chenggong, after this time, in fact, in the entire Naval Division, the oldest ship type is actually the third generation of ships ten years ago.

These 700 warships and warships, in fact, only 200 are 1,000-ton warships seven years ago, for now, due to the long time, poor maintenance, not much good fighting, their ship type and structure are a little old, to Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chengcheng used these ships to fight against some pirates, or other forces of robbery, and at the same time transport troops, food, materials, in Australia is another Chinese military-style anti-heaven existence.

Of course, due to the long time, Zheng Chenggong will not take long, about ten years can not be used, because the Huaxia military shipbuilding is the use of Huaxia Yunguizhou, Yunnan Prefecture, Guangxi Prefecture, and some large wood in the mountains in the early stage, which has not been fully dried, so the age is not far away, and later after reserves, now Zhang Qiang wants to build a new ship, at least able to start thousands of thousand-ton warships.

Zhang Qiang's purpose is to gradually sell the old ships, and then start construction of new ships, replace the ships in the fleet, some old ships less than five years old will be handed over to the city shipping department, the current coastal garrison can be used for at least 15 years, but the coastal garrison can not use 4,000 ships, plus the Yangtze River Navy Division garrison can not use so much, at most 1,000 ships can be used along the coast.

It doesn't take too big a ship, 600 tons will reach the sky.

Zhang Qiang is now thinking about the kind of three-hundred-ton armed merchant ship used by the Dutch today, what it would look like to fall to the ground, they need a physical object, that kind of ship is what he needs, and he must make the sailors of the Huaxia Kingdom more advanced than the people.

Then replace the sailors of the Huaxia Kingdom with this kind of advanced warships, otherwise just rely on backward warships, just like Britain and Italy, the United States, such maritime powers in the early stage of World War II as a competition for armaments, Britain has thousands of battleships, but after the new dreadnoughts come out, all their ships are lagging behind, people are hanging you ten ships, you want to fight, you can't move, you can't chase if you want to, you can only hide when you see it, people only need to have more than 20 advanced dreadnoughts, all your fleet has to go around, and you don't have anything to do at all.

So don't look at the 4,000 warships and warships in the Huaxia Kingdom, other old Ming warships, armed merchant ships transformed from Fu ships, and 2,000 armed merchant ships transformed from old Guangzhou ships, these ships that have been accumulated over 20 years, if people come with 100 500-ton warships, you will be targeted.

The current sea battle is not the time when the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch, Zheng Chenggong and the Spaniards, and the Portuguese relied on small ships to fight for quality by quantity.

Zhang Qiang felt that the number of warships should be gradually reduced, and then the quantity should be replaced by quality, such as replacing 4,000 warships with 1,000 new warships.

The rest are sold in a way that can increase revenue and reuse waste.
