Chapter 282: Song Xiance
Listening to Chongzhen's sigh, Song Xiance said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it seems that I didn't beat these red-haired fans a few times before, I'm afraid, this time Weichen thought it would be good to beat them up!" It's best to make them surrender to me! ”
Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "It would be good if this sea coachman became a Daming coachman!" It seems that the times have changed, and it seems that now, if you master the ocean, you can control the whole world! ”
Hearing Chongzhen's last exclamation, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, especially Sun Chengzong and Song Xiance's eyes lit up, and Song Xiance said respectfully: "Your Majesty Shengming!" God bless me! ”
Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Since you want to fight, then you can also tell me about the military strength of this red-haired fan!" ”
At this time, Song Xiance saluted and said, "Your Majesty! For Western-style warships, Li Zhangjing understands better! Wechen won't show off! ”
"Oh?! Not bad! Let's talk about Li Zhangjing! Chongzhen looked at Li Yan and said with a smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Yan was listening energetically, and suddenly Song Xiance called his name, and then Emperor Chongzhen spoke again, first stunned, and then sorted out his thoughts, bowed to everyone, and then glanced at Song Xiance gratefully, and then began to introduce: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's understanding, this kind of ship of Hongmao Fan is called the Galion Sailing Ship or the Galen Sailing Ship, which adopts a lowered bow and an extended hull, which makes it have unprecedented stability when sailing on the water. The unique construction of the Galen yacht reduces the wind resistance on the port side, allowing for increased sailing speed and ease of steering. The longer and narrower hull of the Galen compared to previous warships, and the fact that it replaced the traditional curved stern with a square stern made it more suitable for ocean voyages than previous warships. The Galen sail was built at a time when Western nations were vying for maritime interests, thanks to its sturdy hull, which made it suitable for many different aspects of ocean exploration, ocean trade, and naval warfare. Therefore, the advent of the Galen galleon also had a certain impact on the development of the situation in the Western countries, and the Galen sailing ships were powered by sails, and most of the Galen galleons were equipped with three to five masts. With the exception of the last mast, which uses a spinnaker, most of them are equipped with a crosssail as a sail, although the versatile Galen can be easily converted into commercial and military sailboats, and for this reason, most commercial Galen galleons are usually armed with several cannons or heavy guns. The galleons were used more in military applications than for ocean-going trade, and now the capital galleons of the Netherlands should be mostly three-masted galleons, all of which are low-side, cross-sail, and broadside equipped with Hongyi guns. ”
After listening to this, Chongzhen nodded and said, "Judging from the report that came back, it is indeed so!" In this case, how does Aiqing think this galleon sailing ship compares to my Ming Dynasty's current warship? ”
"Your Majesty! Before the design of these excellent warships of Westerners, Master Xu, they had already studied this, and then according to their advantages, combined with the advantages of our original warships of the Ming Dynasty, the integrated design, according to Weichen's knowledge, a total of six types of warships have been designed, and this specific detail Your Majesty and all the adults will let Xu Shangshu talk about it at that time! Of course, compared with the information that Weichen knows, these warships are far more than the warships of the Westerners, whether from the structure of the hull or the firepower of the warships, my Ming warships are far more than the warships of the Westerners, and Weichen has this confidence, our warships can sweep the warships of the red hair, so that they have no return! ”
"In that case! I'm relieved! Then I ordered the Governor of the King to lead the fleet over and clean up the red-haired fan! Chongzhen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty! Wechen has something to say! Song Xiance got up at this time and said, but as soon as Song Xiance finished speaking, he found that Sun Chengzong, who was about to get up, sat down again and looked at him with a smile.
Chongzhen naturally saw it too, nodded towards Sun Chengzong, and then looked at Song Xiance and said, "Aiqing said!" ”
"Your Majesty! First of all, we need to determine what the ultimate purpose of this war is! Only then can you make a decision! Song Xiance said.
Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng both looked at Song Xiance after listening, and then nodded and praised him, Song Xiance couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, did he overdo it? ! Li Yan on the side was smiling and quietly looking at Song Xiance.
Looking at Song Xiance, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "What do you say, Your Majesty doesn't like me to hide it!" ”
Chongzhen smiled and said, "The teacher is right! Aiqing just said! I'm listening! ”
"Your Majesty! If this battle is just to hurt the Hongmaofan and let them retreat in difficulty, then Governor Wang can directly lead my Ming Navy to eliminate the Hongmaofan in one fell swoop, but what can the imperial court gain in the end? It's nothing more than a return to the way things were! Song Xiance said with a smile.
"Hmmm! That's the reason! Go on! Chongzhen said with interest.
"Your Majesty! Just now, Your Majesty said that in today's era, you can master the world by mastering the ocean, so we must grasp this goal in this war, so that my Ming Navy can take the first step to master the world! Song Xiance said.
"Good!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but appreciate.
"Thank you, Governor Lou, for the compliment!" Song Xiance made a salute.
Chongzhen also nodded with satisfaction, and motioned for Song Xiance to continue, Song Xiance was encouraged, and he was very happy in his heart, so he continued: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's knowledge, this red-haired fan person has a title, called the sea coachman, what does it mean?" What it means is that these red-haired people now control the trade from the West to my Ming Dynasty and even the countries surrounding my Ming, and at the same time, according to Weichen's knowledge, these red-haired people are still plundering everywhere and carrying out inhumane rule. Therefore, Weichen thinks that what we have to do now is to let this sea coachman be used by my Daming, so that my Daming can control the trade of this world! ”
"How?" Chongzhen asked.
"Your Majesty! To do this, first of all, let my Ming navy integrate first, and secondly, clear out the Dutch, as well as the Spanish and Portuguese and even some rogue pirates in this area through war, and only after completing it can I control this area! Achieve the purpose of our battle! Saying that, Song Xiance drew a few circles on his sketch, Chongzhen took a look, these circles have today's East China Sea, South China Sea, Southeast Asian countries, and the most noteworthy thing for Chongzhen is that the current Strait of Malacca has also been circled by Song Xiance.
"Your Majesty! Here's the full thorn plus! It can be said to be the maritime gateway from the East to the West! Control here, then I will control this area! As he spoke, he drew a large circle in the upper void.
Chongzhen nodded, of course he understood this, and the others also nodded, they naturally understood the importance of Manshujia, and after Song Xiance saw that everyone agreed, he continued: "Since this is the case! The goal has been set! Then Wei Chen thought that the first step in our battle plan was to let Zheng Dudu lead the fleet to fight the Dutch! After speaking, the corners of his mouth curled, revealing an evil smile.
