Chapter 242: Choosing a Sail Battleship
85_85996 Yang Tingjian's land bought this time is not small, there are 1,000 acres of land, the land price in the south is much higher than that in the north, about 20 taels of silver per mu, this more than 1,000 acres of land is more than 200,000 taels of silver, this bit of silver for Yang Tingjian, it is simply a drizzle.
The new textile factory, the pharmaceutical factory covers an area of up to 200 acres, and the remaining land is used to house other workshops of the Tiger Army, and this area will be lined with factories in the future. But this must wait until Wang Daniu can imitate the steam engine and the textile machine, the steam engine is the driving force of the industrial revolution!
Now Yang Tingjian has an expert in this area, that is, Xia Mengqi, Yang Tingjian directly threw all the qiē here to Xia Mengqi, and at the same time there is a mobile phone brought by Yang Tingjian to the Ming Dynasty, Yang Tingjian's mobile phone has downloaded countless information, what Xia Mengqi needs, just inquire directly.
After doing these things, I took √Wishing you prosperity directly to see Yang Tingshu's Longjiang Treasure Shipyard. This Longjiang Bao Shipyard is what Yang Tingjian is most concerned about, if you want to establish a colony around the world, you must build the best wooden battleships of the sail era in the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, such as the Spanish Trinity Holy and the British Victory.
Yang Tingjian has been comparing the advantages and disadvantages of sail warships, such as the British Victory and the American Pennsylvania, these warships have a standard displacement of more than 3,000 tons and a full load displacement of more than 5,000 tons, but the maneuverability and war-tested only survived the British Victory.
Victory is a first-class warship, with a standard displacement of 3,550 tons and a full load of 5,150 tons, "Victory" is a mobile sea fortress city, it can be equipped with 108 cannons, a crew of 850 people, and the ship can store 35 tons of gunpowder and 120 tons of shells, and can travel continuously for six months at a time.
It is impossible for the entire Navy to have only first-class warships. There should be other warships, Yang Tingjian directly printed out all the drawings of the British first-class to sixth-level sail warships, this is not a few drawings, but more than a thousand drawings, Yang Tingjian can only barely understand, and some places must be interpreted by professional personnel.
The British Navy classifies ships according to the following criteria:
— Class warship
This class of warships serves as the flagship of the fleet. Three-tier gun deck, 106, 122 guns, capacity of more than 875 people, displacement 2500-3500 tons. The representative ship is the Victory, the flagship of Admiral Nelson in the Battle of Trafalgar. Because each of these warships cost up to £1 million, there were less than 12 ships in active service in the British Navy at that time.
Warship of the second class
This class of warships is slightly smaller than that of the first class of warships. Three-story gun deck, 98 guns, a capacity of about 750 people, and a displacement of more than 2,000 tons. One of their shortcomings - a common disadvantage of battleships - in stormy weather, the gun doors of the lower gun decks of warships could not be opened.
Rank 3 warship
There are several types of warships in this class. Two to three layers of gun decks, 64, 74, 80 guns, a capacity of about 490-720 people, displacement of 1300-2000 tons. This is the largest number of capital ships in the British Navy. At the time of the Battle of Trafalgar, the British Navy had 117 third-class warships out of 175 capital ships.
Fourth-class warship
This class of warship has two gun decks, 50 guns, a crew of about 350 people, and a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. Ships of this class are cheap to build (£26,000 each). The capacity is small (350 people). They mainly serve as the flagship of overseas cruising detachments.
Five-tier warship
This class of warships is a cruiser with a total length of 130 to 150 feet. The capacity is 250 people. They are mainly used to attack merchant ships at sea. Because there is a catch gold to be obtained on this kind of ship, the crew are enthusiastic volunteers.
Tier 6 warship
This agile dhow was often used by the British Royal Navy for sending messages and escorting ships. Each of these ships cost only £10,000 and had a crew of 195.
Why Yang Tingjian chose the British sail warship, this does not need to be explained, the empire that has dominated the global ocean for hundreds of years. It has been tested in countless naval battles, and the warships they built have also been tested in battle.
Longjiang Bao Shipyard, also known as Longjiang Shipyard and Bao Shipyard, is the largest royal shipyard site in the medieval world. Because it was located near Longjiang Pass (now Xiaguan) in Nanjing at that time, it was named. Longjiang Bao Shipyard is located in the Zhongbao Village-Belt near the Sanxia River in the northwest of Nanjing City. It is connected to the Yangtze River in the west. It is adjacent to the Qinhuai River in the east.
Yangzhou is not far from Yangzhou, Yang Tingjian first took a boat along the Grand Canal into the Yangtze River, and then went up to Nanjing, Yang Tingjian only took two days to rush to Longjiang Bao Shipyard, Yang Tingjian's sudden appearance, so that Yang Tingshu was particularly surprised, his cousin is now not only the world's famous champion, but also the national hero who resisted the Tartars, Yang Tingshu also felt faced.
Originally, Yang Tingshu wanted to invite Yang Tingjian to the Qinhuai River to eat wine and wash the dust, Yang Tingjian had that idle time, what Qinhuai River Bayan, Yang Tingjian was even more unmoved, the Chinese nation has reached the time of the Phoenix Pannie, Yang Tingjian is in such a leisure mood to go to the wind and snow.
Besides, Yang Tingjian has enough women, Xia Mengqi, gold inlaid jade, red lady, and a childhood sweetheart, Miss Su, it makes people have a headache when they think about it, no woman wants a woman, and there are more women who annoy women.
"Please take me to see the shipyard!"
Yang Tingshu is also a righteous gentleman, and he doesn't like those fireworks places, he saw Yang Tingjian say this, he didn't insist anymore, but immediately took Yang Tingjian to the shipyard.
As soon as he entered the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, the prime minister was greeted by countless piles of timber, and Yang Tingjian was happy when he saw these timbers! Hurriedly asked:
"Brother, how did you get this wood, judging from the quantity, you can't get it without a million taels of silver!"
Yang Tingshu was proud at this time, and hurriedly said to Yang Tingjian excitedly:
"Bingru! You don't know that! These countless timbers are all excellent materials for shipbuilding, and if you want to buy these timbers, it will cost at least two million taels of silver, but it will only cost more than two hundred thousand taels for my brother. ”
Yang Tingjian was very surprised and replied:
"How is this possible, to transport so much timber here, it will cost 200,000 taels!"
"For my brother only spent the cost of freight and felling, Bingru forgot jì, this Longjiang Bao Shipyard also has half of the county's woodland, located in the Chuzhou Wuhu Mountain area, which is planted with all the trees used for shipbuilding, and the Hanshui River passes through the forest.
For my brother, I hired 2,000 workers to cut down day and night, and then put the wood into the Hanshui River, and when the wooden row entered the Yangtze River, it went down the river to our Longjiang Bao Shipyard.
This amount of timber only cost my brother some felling fees and a small amount of transportation costs. ”
Although Yang Tingshu's imperial examination is famous, his ability to do things is first-class, and Yang Tingjian bowed to Yang Tingshu at the moment:
"Thank you, brother, foolish brother......"
Yang Tingshu hurriedly supported Yang Tingjian, and said with a deliberately gloomy face:
"It's all brothers, and they still say these things that are out of sight, then Qi is not a life, and besides, you are a dignified champion, edited by the Hanlin Academy, how can you give me this salute, it is really unseemly, and you can't do it again next time."
"Brother has taught me a lesson, Bingru remembers it in his heart."
……
[Thank you brothers for your monthly pass and reward, recommendation, thank you for falling leaves, brothers continue to top. (To be continued......).
