At this moment, the door of the carriage was also opened, Chang Jin slowly paced over with his uncle's score, Zhang Han of course also went to salute, and then saw the old shopkeeper Zhou Fengji bowing to himself, Zhang Han hurriedly returned the salute, and then came down is Zhang Xuezeng's smiling face.

"It's good now." Zhang Han took Zhang Xuezeng's hand and said with a relieved smile: "Third uncle, you came here by coincidence, and they have also arrived." ”

The movement of the convoy here was also seen, but Zhang Xuezeng didn't expect that it was the mission that welcomed the north, and when he heard this, the old man suddenly shuddered.

"Okay," Zhang Han looked left and right, looking at the people he was closest to in this era, he was full of joy at this time, and he couldn't even care about business, and announced loudly at the moment: "Go home, set up a banquet, don't care about anything else!" ”

Li Shenming also rushed over, and while saluting Chang and Chang Jinquan, he said with a smile: "The ceremony over there hasn't been held yet." ”

"I'll be done when I'm done." Zhang Han put on the face of the superior, and said unreasonably: "Brother Zunlu will go to perfunctory two sentences again, and then close the stall, how to deal with Lao Maozi, do you want me to say more?" ”

"You know, the meat is enough, and the wine is even more enough!"

"It's good to know." Zhang Han laughed.

……

On the third day, Zhang Han was free to meet with Petrin and his party.

Of course, the faces of Petrin and the others are very ugly, they have enough wine and meat in the past few days, no matter if no one talks to them about business, they are still invisibly neglected.

This made Petrin and the others think back to what happened in Lizhuang last year, when it was cold for many days, and if it were not for the fact that Tomsk happened to know that there were the best Russian experts in ocean-going navigation and shipbuilding, I am afraid that the agreement would not have been reached at all.

"It's an honor to meet Mr. Zhang." Madov is neither yin nor yang.

Zhang Han did not answer him, but said, "I want to see Mr. Dezhnev." ”

Petrin said dissatisfiedly: "He doesn't know Mongolian, he only knows simple words. ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Han pointed to Zhang Xuwen beside him and said, "He can translate." ”

Petrin had the heart to refuse, but remembering the artillery and troops outside the city that day, he couldn't show a tough attitude, so he had to agree with a very blunt attitude.

Gregory and the others were also very dissatisfied, but their wildness could not break out, there were dozens of attendants and special services around them, all of whom were fully armed with loaded guns and ammunition, and the Russians were only kept with scimitars and were not allowed to bring firearms to meet, Gregory and the others were very fierce, but not idiots.

Everyone's faces were a little stiff, but fortunately, Dezhnev maintained the true character of a senior technician, his attitude was very calm, and he also retained his self-respect and calmness for a big man like Zhang Han.

"I don't know what the strategic purpose of Mr. Zhang's shipbuilding plan in the South China Sea is?"

After all, Dezhnev is not a pure nerd, otherwise the tsar would not have asked him to command the fleet under construction, and now when he comes to Lizhuang, there is still a trace of hidden regret on the face of this tall and thin Russian.

"Our future opponent is the Dutch." Zhang Han said: "I don't want to use Chinese-style boats to defeat the Dutch by arson or gang jumping. That would require a large number of troops and relevant personnel to ensure logistics, as well as a lot of training and actual combat. All I want is bigger ships than the Dutch, better and more guns, and to defeat them at sea. ”

When Zhang Xuwen was translating, Petrin and Madoff gave each other a look.

Petrin whispered, "It seems that this Master Zhang is really ambitious. ”

Madov exclaimed in a low voice: "O Dutch, sea coachman, we Russians dare not think of it. ”

The two of them looked at the expression of a madman, Zhang Han also briefly reported to Russia the situation in the waters of southern China, the wrong track is complicated, all countries have forces, of course, the largest is the Dutch East India Company established in Batavia, with more than a dozen large warships and a large number of merchant ships, followed by the Spaniards, after the destruction of the Invincible Armada, the Spanish maritime supremacy is gradually disappearing, but the current stage is that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Spaniards can still make a lot of profits from the ship line from South America to Luzon to China, And every year, a whole line of Clark galleons shipped South American gold to Spain.

Spain's real decline has another reason, and it has only just begun......

"That's going to take a long time...... Dezhnev didn't marvel as much as his fellow Russians, but there was deep doubt in his eyes.

"Sir." Zhang Han smiled: "Our southern China has a large number of suitable maritime talents, which is far different from the amount of maritime talents you Russians have in terms of reserves...... I know that the gentleman is an outstanding shipbuilder and seafaring talent, but do you Russians have enough reserves for ordinary sailors? Is ocean awareness enough? Zheng Zhilong, He Bin, and Gan Hui are all the top maritime talents in southern China, and Mr. Dezhnev will not deny this, right? ”

Dezhnev could only nod...... He Bin, Zheng Zhilong and others would often chat with him, and at this time they wanted to deceive Dezhnev, but from the dialogue between the two sides, Dezhnev was able to understand the general situation in the South China Sea and the entire South China Sea, and the Zheng brothers and others also mastered some real nautical knowledge, which was originally to be found out step by step after more than ten years of running at sea.

The Zheng family's battleship only had one bow gun, and at most a few small guns, and this kind of warship could not be compared with the Dutch Galen battleship with dozens of guns. Thankfully, naval warfare also had to take into account various complex factors such as wind speed and waves, and the artillery of this era was not very powerful after all...... There are too many examples of a naval battle in which the ships on both sides were hit by dozens of bullets and then staggered home for dinner.

The naval battles between Britain and Spain were mainly gang jumps and broadside shooting, and artillery was of course useful, but it was not as big as expected.

If you have many experienced and advantageous sailors, the elite sailors who can jump into the gang to fight, in fact, it is enough to run rampant for decades without engaging in large warships, and it is not too late to defeat the enemy first, and then slowly make up for the lesson...... The peak of the sail warship was still two hundred years later, the casting technology of artillery and gunpowder, and shells all caught up, and the naval battle began to become extremely dangerous, and the loser was often a ship with hundreds of people all dead, unless the enemy was merciful to rescue at sea, but this kind of chivalry at sea was less after all, and most of the sunken side ended in tragedy.

Waiting for the appearance of the steam and sail warships, and then waiting for the appearance of the steam ironclads, it is a naval battle on another level, and at that time, hundreds of years have passed since the white-skinned men in Europe set sail to the sea.

The Zheng family's sailors defeated the Dutch with a large number of small boats, small gunboats, arsonist ships, a large number of experienced sailors can jump to the gang to fight, jumping on the sea is not as simple as thought, the two ships collide together, to seize the moment of the side to jump over, the opposite side is like a wolf and a tiger want to tear you to pieces of the enemy, under your feet is the boundless sea of wind and waves, inexperienced or courageous soldiers, it is impossible to carry out such a war mission, and it is impossible to win at all.

If Zhang Han wants to have tens of thousands of excellent sailors, he must have at least ten or eight years of operation, and the sailors are not like land divisions, and it is enough to rely on training and fight two battles; without adult experience in sea life, sailing, and warfare, it is impossible to train a sophisticated navy by training.

If there are top seafaring talents, plus sailors who are accustomed to the wind and waves of the sea, and train a group of qualified gunners, they can compete with a maritime power like the Netherlands in the South Seas, which is nothing more than throwing money...... After all, East Asia is not the center of Dutch interests here, and now the Dutch and the British are at war in Europe, and it took decades for the two sides to decide the winner from a tentative attack to a big fight......

These things can't be said too much to Dezhnev, although he looks like an intellectual, in fact, he is still a greedy and risk-taking Russian in his bones, otherwise how would he dare to build a ship to the Arctic Ocean? Although the Arctic Ocean is the smallest, it is also the most dangerous and difficult sea area, with perennial freezing and a large number of icebergs and extremely bad weather, this guy in front of him actually wants to build a ship and go to the sea from the estuary, in order to find a way to continue east and an outlet to the sea for Russia!

"In short......" Zhang Han continued quietly: "This is our goal, in order to achieve the goal, I have provided nearly two million silver dollars to Taiwan, and more financial support will be provided in the future, and now I want Mr. Dezhnev's support......"

"Then please ask Lord Zhang to look at this first...... This is the design we got from the Dutch...... "Dezhnev still maintained that cold and reserved appearance, holding a large stack of ship blueprints in his hand to show Zhang Han.

The more ambitious Zhang Han is, the more he wants to get the vast sea area and the benefits contained in the South China Sea, the more heartache a marine expert among Russians like Dezhnev feels.

In the invasion of the Poles, the Russians lost more than the throne of the Tsarist royal family, so far they have not come out of the aftermath of the defeat, a large number of materials have been tilted to the army, the original shipbuilding plan has been stopped, in order not to erect enemies in many faces, the Russians ceded several cities in the Baltic Sea, lost the sea of course, there is no so-called naval plan, after all, Peter the Great, who led the Russians and wanted to obtain the sea at all costs, was not born at this time, this world, originally there were many short-sighted people, and the strong know what must be done, and can do whatever it takes.
