50 knots measured by hand?

Oh my God, how could the Zhenyun ship run so fast.

Could it be that Shen Shouyao's measurement was wrong?

Zhu Youzhen's heart was full of questions.

An hour is 2 hours, and the ship is 25 knots per hour.

Zhu Youzhen quickly converted the speed unit of the ship in his heart, but 25 knots was far faster than the record speed of the Great Republic.

Something must have gone wrong, the treasure ship could never run so fast.

"Xiao Shen, did you test it yourself? How did you measure it, and say it so that Lone can also have a long insight. ”

Listening to Zhu Youzhen's tone, he didn't seem to believe it, and Shen Shouyao was really angry in his heart.

You are the king of letters, you just question my age, and now you question my measured speed, is this doubting my professional ability?

It's really tolerable, it's unbearable.

Holding back a resentment in his heart, Shen Shouyao replied coldly: "Your Highness, the young general personally threw the cable used for speed measurement into the sea. The young general personally stared at the knot that the hourglass had personally counted.

In a quarter of an hour, 7 knots slipped through the young general's hand, and even if you exclude the time delayed by the young general's rope throwing, those 6 knots are at least beyond doubt.

Calculated in this way, 50 knots in an hour, the young general is still very sure.

Your Highness, the young general's ship is measured every other hour.

The young general dared to pat his chest and say that the speed of the 50-knot boat is never wrong. ”

Listening to Shen Shouyao's proud description, Zhu Youzhen keenly grasped the word "knot".

It turned out that Shen Shouyao was talking about the knot of the knot, not the knot of the bamboo knot.

"Xiao Shen, how long is your cable tied in a knot?"

After figuring out that this knot was not the other, Zhu Youzhen asked curiously.

"Your Highness, a knot is a mile of land, you ...... it"

Listening to Zhu Youzhen ask such a layman's question, Shen Shouyao found that his anger just now seemed to be in vain.

The king of faith didn't even know a knot or a mile, and when he heard the king ask how fast the ship was, he really thought that the king of faith was very knowledgeable.

I know the speed of the ship, but I'm afraid that the king of faith heard it from somewhere, right?

One knot and one mile.

Ignoring Shen Shouyao's slander, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly converted it in his heart.

25 knots in an hour is 12.5 kilometers, which is about 7 knots.

7 knots, this treasure ship can run 7 knots, which is also a very rare high speed in sailboats.

Wrong.

Zhu Youzhen's face changed suddenly.

In my memory of my previous life, even if the speed of a ship was 7 knots, it seemed that it was difficult for ordinary sailboats to achieve it. These 7 knots are probably the limit of the treasure ship, right?

Running so fast, Shen Shouyao is not at the limit speed of the Biaozhen transport ship, right?

Zhu Youzhen suddenly thought of this possibility.

"Xiao Shen, in such a tailwind state, can we go a little faster?" Zhu Youzhen asked tentatively.

"Your Highness, we can't be faster, no matter how fast we are, our ship won't be able to stand it."

Faced with the layman Zhu Youzhen's inquiry, Shen Shouyao was defenseless and answered directly.

Sure enough, this bastard boy is soaring at the limit speed.

Thinking about this, Zhu Youzhen's face quickly darkened.

No wonder I got so dizzy this time.

"Xiao Shen, you ......"

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's face darken, Shen Shouyao suddenly understood.

"Your Highness, the young general has to go up and take a look, oh, go up and see the sea situation."

Without waiting for Zhu Youzhen's words to be spoken, Shen Shouyao rushed out of the door in a hurry.

"Xiao Shen, you wait for Lonely."

Zhu Youzhen's angry screams came from the cabin.

Ning Yuan

"Yuan Futai, shall we do this?" Zu Dashou asked with a worried face.

Zu Dashou once again saw Yuan Chonghuan Yuan's bold boldness.

Finding out the news of Nurhachi's death, Yuan Chonghuan actually wanted to send someone to mourn.

Houjin is now the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and Nurhachi is the enemy chieftain who the Ming Dynasty is planning to get rid of as soon as possible.

Now that Nurhachi is dead, the Ming Dynasty will only applaud and applaud, and no one will feel sorry.

When such an enemy chieftain died, Yuan Chonghuan dared not to ask the court for any instructions, and sent someone to Houjin to offer condolences, which is also a bit too self-made and self-motivated, right?

Anyway, his ancestor Dashou would never dare to do such a thing.

Even if his ancestral family wants to have a little contact with Houjin and do some small business in private, it is also hidden, who dares to do it without scruples like Yuan Chonghuan?

"What's not to do?"

Yuan Chonghuan glanced at Zu Dashou with a gloomy face, and rebuked angrily: "Benfu guards Liaodong, isn't this the duty of Benfu?" What's not to do. ”

Feeling that his tone was a little heavy, Yuan Chonghuan eased up a little before continuing:

"General Zu, it's not that you don't understand, it's true that Benfu sent someone to condole here, and it's true to spy on the inner story of Houjin Tartar.

After the death of Jin Laonu, can Hong Taiji, who took over the throne, serve the public?

What do those banner owners Baylor of Houjin have now?

If we don't send someone to contact us, can we find out clearly with a few spies from the private sector? ”

Yuan Chonghuan showed a somewhat sarcastic smile on his face: "General Zu, you won't always be like some brute bulls, always thinking about attacking Houjin without a brain, right?" ”

Hearing that the irony in Yuan Chonghuan's words was so strong, Zu Dashou could only resign himself to no longer expressing any opinions.

Zu Dashou knew that the wild bull in Yuan Chonghuan's mouth was referring to Man Gui.

The contradiction between Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui has now completely exploded, which is already well known in Ningyuan officialdom.

The cause of the contradiction between Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui was because of the battle between war and defense.

According to Man Gui's meaning, since Ningyuan's city defense has withstood the test, the next step is for the Ming army to rely on Ningyuan and use a large number of cavalry to attack all parts of Houjin.

Man Gui wanted to use the Mongol cavalry tactics to deal with Houjin.

Man Gui, who was born in the Xuanfu border army, is familiar with the Mongols' cavalry tactics.

After Ning Yuan had seen the performance of the Jurchen Eight Banners with his own eyes, Man Gui was full of confidence in the ranger tactics. The Eight Banners cavalry under Ningyuan City was no stronger than the Mongols in Mangui's opinion.

Man Gui believed that as long as the Ming cavalry did not attack the city and was careful not to fall into the encirclement of the Eight Banners foot soldiers, then Houjin would have nothing to do with the Ming cavalry.

The entry of the Ming cavalry will definitely cause great damage to the Houjin region.

It would be even better if this ranger tactic could stimulate Hou Jin to come and attack Ning Yuan again.

In that way, Ning Yuan would be able to more effectively consume Houjin's elite power.

Using the bloodletting tactics of the Mongol rangers to deal with Houjin, in Man Gui's opinion, was definitely the most suitable tactic.

However, Yuan Chonghuan directly scoffed at Man Gui's thoughts.

In Yuan Chonghuan's view, there was no merit in harassing Houjin with a squad of cavalry. In the future, the strong combat power of the Golden Eight Banners, no matter how many small teams of cavalry attack, they can only go to deliver food to Houjin.

Yuan Chonghuan has always firmly believed that only the Jiancheng heavy artillery is the key to fighting against the Houjin.

is to fight or defend, and the contradiction between Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui broke out in this way.
