When the time came, a ray of sunlight appeared in the sky, and the entire sea suddenly sparkled.

Suddenly, a vendor who was packing up pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted, "Look, what's that?" ”

Everyone in the harbor looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a row of black dots appear on the sea in the distance, and the number was no less than ten.

I don't know who shouted bitterly: "It's a boat, a lot of boats, hurry, hurry, pack up!" ”

With this shout, the vendors who were slowly packing up their things next to the port were like stimulants, desperately cleaning up, and some people just threw down their things and ran away!

People on the seashore are afraid of boats, what kind of logic is this?

Zhang Bin looked at the black spots on the sea, and then at the traders who fled in panic, and wondered: "Are they afraid of ships?" ”

Wu Shiqi beside him smiled helplessly: "They are not afraid of ships, but of pirates." ”

Pirate!

When Zhang Bin heard this, he was taken aback, pirates are not joking, as long as they meet, they will basically be over.

He was a little flustered and said, "It can't be a pirate, it should be a fleet sent by my father, right?" ”

Xie Zhenggang, who was beside him, said confidently: "Of course it's not a pirate, it's definitely a warship of our Dajinsu." ”

Zhang Bin looked at him in surprise, there seems to be something wrong with this, the pirates at this time are not ordinarily powerful, and the Daming Sailor is the weakest time, if he really meets a pirate, who has done it is not certain, what makes him have such a mysterious confidence?

The black dots slowly approached the port, and the outline gradually became clear, and sure enough, it was a ship, a lot of ships, a total of eleven!

However, these ships are not the same size, most of them are small boats, and there are three really big ships, and one of these three is simply large and scary, like a tall building, and it is larger than the two large ships next to it combined.

Xie Zhengyang pointed to those warships and laughed: "Lord County Commander, look, this is not the warship of our Dajinsu." ”

Zhang Bin rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Little Sixth Uncle, I haven't been to the military camp of Dajin before, is it normal that I didn't see it?" ”

This is a fact, the Ming Dynasty's management of the army is still relatively strict, even if it is the military camp of the local guard, only the tunwei and Yu Ding can enter, if everyone runs to the barracks, it will be chaotic.

In the formation of the guard, that is, the army, they can be regarded as real soldiers, Yu Ding is actually a miscellaneous or alternate, generally a military family will only produce a regular army and a Yu Ding, no matter how many men, they will not be sent to the barracks, this is not a good thing to be a soldier at this time, and it may be killed at any time.

Like Zhang Bin's four elder brothers, only the eldest brother Daniel Zhang Zhengjun, the second brother Zhang Guan is Yu Ding, and as for the third brother Zhang San and the fourth brother Zhang Jun, they do not seem to belong to the Tunwei sequence, which means that they are not qualified to enter the military camp like Zhang Bin.

This Xie Zhengyang is actually Yu Ding, his brother Xie Zheng was a regular soldier just now, but he is also qualified to enter the military camp for training, so he can naturally see at a glance that these are the warships of Dajinsu.

This person can send eleven warships, how many warships are under the hands of the Qianhu father, Zhang Bin couldn't help but ask: "Little Sixth Uncle, how many warships are there in our Dajin Institute?" ”

When Xie Zhengyang heard this, he immediately said: "According to the establishment, we should have one hundred and eleven warships of all sizes, including one No. 1 Fu ship, ten No. 2 Fu ships, 20 sub-mother ships, 40 eagle ships, and 40 net shuttle ships. However, at present, there are actually only half of the warships of our Dajin Exchange, that is, one No. 1 Fu ship, five No. 2 Fu ships, 10 sub-mother ships, 20 eagle ships, and 20 net shuttle ships. ”

Zhang Bin had heard of this lucky ship, but as for the sub-mother ship, eagle ship, and shuttle ship, he was a little confused.

Seeing his bewildered look, Xie Zhengyang couldn't help but raise his hand and point to the eleven warships in the distance and introduced: "You see, the smallest on those two sides is a shuttle boat, there are four people in it, two of them are in control, and two of them attack with bird guns or rockets; The ten oars stretched out are the eagle boat, which is defended by bamboo nails on the outside, and ten people on the inside to attack the boat; The two single-sail ships are the mother ship, which is mainly used for fire attack, only eight people are needed, and can quickly approach the enemy ship in wartime, set the mother ship on fire, and then evacuate by the sub-ship below; The two-sail ship in the middle is the No. 2 Fu boat, eight zhang long, two zhang three wide, a total of four floors, full of sixty-four people, nine people control, fifty-five people attack. ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he silently calculated in his heart, these eleven ships add up to exactly one hundred people, that is, the number of all the regular troops under one hundred households, and one hundred and ten ships is exactly the number of all the regular troops under ten hundred households, as for the No. 1 lucky boat, it is estimated that it is the car of his father Zhang Chengde.

But why is it only halfway?

He couldn't help but ask, "Why do we only have half of the warships in Dajin?" ”

When Xie Zhengyang heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Alas, I don't know this very well, it is rumored that since the change of Tumubao, the number of shipbuilders in various places has begun to shrink day by day. ”

, doesn't this self-destruct the Great Wall, Zhang Bin couldn't help but complain: "Why do you want to toss so much about a good sailor? “

This Xie Zhengyang couldn't answer, but Wu Shiqi on the other side sighed: "Alas, this is not the fault of the change of the civil fort, the Daming sailors are mainly used to deal with the Japanese invaders, although the threat of the Japanese is big, it is not enough to kill, but the Mengyuan Wa spur department almost killed the Ming Dynasty that time, coupled with the rebellion of the Jiannu later, the Ming Dynasty had to transfer all the military supplies to the north, and if the problem in the north is not solved, the Daming Sailor is afraid that there will be no future." ”

It turned out that this was the case, the change of Tumubao did make the Ming miserable, at that time even Emperor Yingzong was captured, if it were not for the death of Yu Qian, the younger brother of Yingzong, who was on the throne, and then transferred to Nanzhili, Henan, Shandong and other places to guard the capital, Daming was afraid that he would be killed by the Mengyuan Wa Spur.

There is also the Jiannu in the back, which is now Houjin, isn't Daming tantamount to being killed by them in the end!

It seems that these two nomadic tribes have slashed hard, and if Da Ming does not die in this hand, he will die in that hand.

In fact, this is not the case at all, whether it is Houjin or Tile Thorn, it is not terrible, if the Ming Dynasty can still organize so many troops at the beginning of the dynasty, no matter how powerful they are, they can only tremble on the grassland, and they dare not take a step south at all.

What is really terrible is his own people, and Da Ming can be said to have completely killed himself.

Like the change of Tumubao, if Yingzong doesn't believe in the eunuch Wang Zhen and doesn't let Wang Zhen monopolize the power, he will spur that bit of strength, and they don't want to send a military general or even a civilian official to lead the troops.

As a result, Yingzong wanted to believe Wang Zhen, let a eunuch lead the way, and let him command an army of 200,000 to run around, as a result, not only did he get in, but he almost put the entire Ming Dynasty in.

There is also Houjin, men, women, and children, all of whom are counted in total, and there are not as many guards as the Ming Dynasty.

The problem is that now, whether it is the eunuch party or the Donglin party, whether it is the honorable or the emperor's relatives and relatives, they are all vigorously fighting for power and profit, and the other is vigorously holding money, as for the question of whether to die or not to die in the country, they don't seem to have thought about it at all.

The so-called if you don't die, you won't die, they work so hard to die, it's strange if they don't die!
