Text Chapter 1205 Naming
Almost instantly, the feet of more than 200 soldiers were a large wet area, and the dry land was drenched with sweat.
Of course, the liner was also soaked, sticking to the soldiers' bodies.
At this time, people could see that the soldiers had more or less scars on their bodies, and the blood was pressed on their bodies by the armor, but as soon as they took off their armor, only the inner lining was on their bodies, and the blood stains on their bodies were quite obvious.
In a fierce hand-to-hand battle involving life and death, how can it be that your side will not be injured at all?
Several soldiers were still killed in the battle, and more than a dozen people were seriously injured and lightly wounded, all of whom had just been carried to the hospital.
These soldiers, who continued to fight and looked fine, also had more or less scars on their bodies, and the blood was soaked through the lining, and now it is estimated that they have coagulated and no longer bleed.
Many people held their breath, they admired such a good man, with a knife and a gun, jumped into the enemy ship, what kind of skill and courage it must.
Among the Liao people, the emotion is even deeper.
The jumping soldiers are all veterans, and there are not many retired soldiers, only adding people and not reducing people, so that the selection of soldiers is more strict, in the past two or three years, the Taiwanese side is qualified to join the soldiers is also the original musketeer or pikeman, the best of the best, the Liao people are many new soldiers, and it is not as good as the Xuan soldiers who dare to die and advance, so in these jumping soldiers, a Liao figure can not be seen.
This can't help but make some refugees from Liaodong feel ashamed, if it comes to flesh and revenge, of course they are the first, but in terms of simplicity and daring to die, the Liao people are not as good as Xuan Dabing.
There was a slight commotion in the crowd, and at this moment, there were indeed many people who wanted to enter the ranks of the jumping soldiers.
Of course, the top level does not have the idea of stopping, no matter how powerful the firearms are, this era still needs heroes who dare to fight hand-to-hand, an army, without the preparation of hand-to-hand combat, do not want to win the war, this preparation is not only a physical exercise, but also a strong courage, of course, there must be honor and reward.
These words are Zhang Han's original words, and the jumping soldiers also proved Zhang Han's words in this naval battle, without the jumping soldiers, how could the jumping gang battle be so easy to win, and how could four ships be captured?
Groups of musketeers and pikemen marched to the harbor to receive the thunderous cheers of the people, as well as the review and consolation of the great figures including Sun Jingting.
The soldiers and officers are in a very happy mood, this battle has been won, the victory is indisputable, the blockade is broken, the Taiwan side will usher in a period of fierce development, their treatment will certainly be improved, and there will be a record of military exploits, and the merits of the Taiwan marching department will also be converted into land, and when the time comes, whether you want the land of the grassland or the land of Taiwan is also arbitrary.
For many people, it doesn't matter which side of the land they want, because the land is planted by the company's hired hands, even if the land allocated to the people is sold and purchased, and the land allocated by the officers is converted into cash dividends according to the price of grain.
This is Zhang Han's precautionary measure, and now there are many officers who have made great contributions and are in high positions, and they have not given them tens of thousands of acres of land and hundreds or thousands of tenant farmers early, and they have raised a bunch of warlords to come out early.
As long as there is a land reward and a dividend in silver, these officers and meritorious soldiers will not mind, they have silver to take, and they also have their own land in name, and they don't need to bother, what better thing is this?
The Russians also saw the bloodstains on the bodies of the jumping soldiers, Dezhnev marched, and then lowered his head, no matter how hard they put into commanding at sea, victory can only be obtained by the courage of these armored men who are not afraid of death and injury, and in today's hearty victory, Dezhnev felt that replacing the Cossacks may not be able to easily crush the resistance of the Dutch on the deck, and may not be able to snatch all four ships in his hands at once.
The sailing pulp ship was unexpected, and if there was a naval battle, it would not be so cheap, and if there was a defense, the sailing pulp ship could still be used, and there would be no outstanding results like today.
After most of the people disembarked, there were still boats returning on the sea.
In addition to the sunken Xinpingbao, the first to be towed back were the Zhenyuwei and a few badly damaged merchant ships, and then the schooner that returned to port on its own with only two small boats to correct its course.
After seeing the schooner, people are applauding and cheering, today's battle, there are many spectators, the performance of the schooner is obvious to all, worthy of the cost of a hundred thousand taels of silver.
Of course, that was the cost at the beginning of the development, and now if a schooner is still more than 400 tons, it should be built for about 60,000 yuan.
If it is more than 600 tons, I am afraid it will cost more than 100,000 taels, and if it is 1,000 tons, it will cost 200,000 to 300,000 taels.
The bigger it is, the more expensive it is, and the British man-made Sea King used tens of thousands of pounds of British pounds, and the equivalent of silver is also hundreds of thousands of taels.
The sail batters have been moored on their own, people didn't see it, but it didn't affect the sound of the crowd talking, many people wondered why the jumping soldiers came, but the sail ships didn't come to accept the cheers of the people, in the hearts of many people, there were such sharp weapons as the sail ships, and it was not a problem to defeat the Dutch again, they didn't know that those ships were consumables, and there were many restrictions, only when the time and place were right and the people were ready to play a role.
Then down were several captured warships, the 665-ton Essaysee, and the 667-ton Kruninsing's House.
Like the Batavia, which is still burning and the remnants of the fire are clearly visible, these two ships are giant ships, with many huge guns and huge hulls, and the two big ships are also giant ships that Hutchison has never owned.
With these two capital ships, four schooners and numerous armed merchant ships, Hutchison was well positioned to go out to sea to confront the Dutch East India Company warships.
This confidence is hard-won, and it is enough to bring tears to the eyes of all the people present!
The two armed merchant ships are not small ships, they are always three or four hundred tons in size, not much different from the schooners, they are twice as large as the merchant ships of Hutchison, and their gun positions are also many, and the Dutch merchant ships do have shortcomings, but they are also the best merchant ships of this era, otherwise they will not be able to do it all over the world, there are many shipwrecks, but there are many built!
The four ships dragged into the harbor pushed the atmosphere of the night to the climax, and everyone was cheering, and a long battery on land was also making fun, firing and firing salutes, and the rumbling cannons were mixed with the cheers of the people in the sky, which really made the earth tremble.
"Please give names to the four new ships!" Chang Wei's usual strict color was also put aside at this time, and he smiled very happily. At this time, people realized that Chang Zhengshi was a young man in his early twenties who had not yet married...... Of course, Chang Wei can't even find a wife, the Chang family has booked a protΓ©gΓ© for him in Yuci, and he is also a wealthy businessman's family, originally Chang Jin wanted to book a young lady from an official eunuch family, as Zhang Han's situation is getting bigger and bigger, the Chang family also has an understanding, and the Chang family will be a serious relative in the future, and the relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, and they can't associate with the scholar family, this rule has not changed since ancient times, and now it is nothing, and it may be a big trouble to marry a family of officials.
Chang Wei himself doesn't care about this, with his father's decision, of course he also has concubines here, which are carefully selected in Fuzhou, but several concubines have not yet given birth to children, Chang Wei is young and not in a hurry.
Usually, no one dared to notice Chang Wei's age, but at this time, someone realized that the supreme leader of the marching division was a little young.
But after thinking about it, Chang Wei is Lord Zhang's cousin, and the age difference between the two is not much, but how old can Zhang Han, the backbone of Hutchison, be?
But he has already done such a big business!
"In such a hurry?"
Sun Jingting smiled, but he was also a little hesitant, he didn't know if there was any special way here.
"The bow of a large ship will have a characteristic carving decoration as usual, so that people can know what kind of ship it is at a glance. We generally use weapons in Hutchison, and we are too lazy to think about it. Each ship has its own name, which is engraved above the carving, which is also easy for its own people to recognize. β
Chang Wei explained a few words with a smile, and finally said: "Tomorrow we will start repairing the ships, these ships are not seriously damaged, hurry up and repair them to the sea, so that our own people can familiarize themselves with the ships as soon as possible, if the Dutch are not honest, these ships can be of great use." β
The Dutch are sure to suffer heavy losses, and there is a considerable possibility that they will take the initiative to sue for peace, but before peace really comes, it is necessary to be prepared to avoid rushing when the time comes.
Although Chang Wei is young, he is already quite sophisticated and mature in managing politics and making decisions.
Sun Jingting then understood, and said with a smile: "In this case, one of these two ships is called Datong and the other is called Qingcheng." β
The basic plate of Hutchison was originally Datong, and now it is slowly moving to Qingcheng, and expanding to the old Zhongdu to the line of Jizhen, and then going north to Mobei, building a trading city, balancing Kulun, and repairing Tunan City and North City, controlling a larger area, Qingcheng and Datong, which are already considered to be hinterland cities, also symbolize the process of starting a home with Hutchison.
"These are two great names." Chang Wei agreed, and the name of the Hutchison Water Master was from Fort to Guard, and now it has finally reached the level of Fucheng.
Zhang Xuwen said with a smile: "I hope that there will be hundreds of mansions in Yan'an, Pingyang, Baoding, and Daming as soon as possible, which is enough for us to take a name." β
Li Pingzhi: "The next level is Datong Town, Taiyuan Town?" β
Chang Wei shook his head and said: "The top of the house is the province, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Zhili, Henan...... The names are all ready-made. However, the Liaodong Capital Division and the Shanxi Xingdu Division, Wanquan Capital Division are the same as the province, and they can also be used, and this will be talked about when the time comes. β
Now it is a name for a large ship of more than 600 tons, but it is estimated that in a year or two there may be a giant ship of 1,000 tons, which must be the top warship in this era, and it is also appropriate to name it at the level of the province and the capital.
