In the waters east of Hainan Island, a tattered fleet is sailing!

They were the Patriotic Army fleet that had an encounter with 10 armed warships of Britain and the United States in the waters off Maoming a few days ago. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As a result of this encountering naval battle, only two of the 10 warships of Britain and the United States were able to escape from the two American warships that saw the opportunity at the beginning.

The remaining eight battleships were sent to the bottom of the sea by 50 130 cannons equipped with the Patriotic Army's fleet......

But in this encounter, the Patriotic fleet also paid a heavy price, and the armed warships were nothing...... But those transport and supply ships that were not equipped with weapons suffered from them!

As soon as the war was liquidated, at least half of all the transport and supply ships were lost...... This is still the timely arrival of the Patriotic Army fleet in the rear, otherwise, the consequences will be more serious, not necessarily.

After all, a transport convoy that had no power to fight back was chased and fought for an hour or two by the armed warships behind, but the speed was not as fast as the British and American armed warships behind.

That is, the transport and supply ship has a thick skin, so that it can run away while carrying artillery fire, and finally ran away about half.

As for the number of people who died on this ship, so far there has been no count.

Because when they landed at Maoming, all the wounded, as well as the armed guards who took care of the wounded, went to Maoming in full to seek assistance from the garrison, and the troops on the shore were also their own recently.

In order to alleviate casualties, this is one of the best ways, otherwise it is really necessary to let the wounded go back to Sanya with the fleet, I am afraid that some people on the road will have their corpses stink, and they will not be able to treat them at all!

And at this time, in this whole body...... On the tattered flagship, which was making noise everywhere, Jin Yishan also frowned.

I started to think about how to explain this matter to Zhang Yun after returning to Sanya?

You must know that since Zhang Yun started with 200 bandits, the Patriotic Army has never fought such a bad battle, and it is clear that its own side has superior forces, and its weapons and equipment are far superior to the other side......

However, as a result of the war, the other side successfully lost two warships, while more than half of its own transport ships were even destroyed, and the armed warships were also damaged to various degrees.

If nothing else, let's just say that the naval flagship under his seat is driven by the sails, and there are bursts of strange sounds...... It's like it's going to fall apart, it's scary!

This is the price paid by the flagship to carry the enemy's artillery fire and directly rush up to shoot at close range.

Fortunately, the British used all front-loading guns, plus black powder, which was limited in power, and although they received a few solid bullets, they did not sink the flagship under their seats.

Jin Yishan slowly stroked the flagship under his seat, and at the same time looked at the other patriotic warships guarding his left and right, they were even more miserable!

After all, their own flagships have been beaten like this, for these other warships that rushed to the front...... At this time, although the degree of damage was not to the point of sinking, the rattling sound was ...... But I still hear that people's teeth are sore! It's like it's going to fall apart at any moment!

And whenever this voice reached his ears, Jin Yishan finally couldn't help but sigh, he needed to take responsibility for all this, not to mention that he didn't like Zhang Yun......

Two days later.

In the military port near Sanya, Zhang Yun finally saw his miserable fleet, and when he saw it for the first time, Zhang Yun couldn't help but rub his eyes, this Nima was really miserable!

At the same time, a thought arose in my heart, could it be that in this era, the so-called empire on which the sun never sets, really has such a great force value? Or even hang yourself with 130 cannons?

But then Zhang Yun threw this thought out of his mind again, if the so-called empire that the sun never sets really has such a strong force value, then he is still mixed with wool!

However, this process still needs to be understood...... immediately arrested Jin Yishan, who had just disembarked, and after careful interrogation, he learned the specific results, and Zhang Yun himself fell into sadness......

If you don't have the blueprints of the ironclad ship, you also know the development process of the battleship in later generations, and you know that the era of cannon giant ships is coming. Otherwise, Zhang Yun will be even more sad!

To Jin Yishan's surprise, Zhang Yun did not push the defeat of this naval battle on his head, but let himself get out after interrogating himself!

The reason why Jin Yishan was not held accountable was simply that Zhang Yun knew very well that the main reason for the defeat in this naval battle was still on himself.

If it weren't for the fact that I repeatedly forced those Fujian boatmen to work as quickly as possible, these ...... would have been built Battleships that do not quite meet the standards of battleships come.

Their speed and hull solidity are obviously not as good as the Western warships of their time, let alone the British warships at the peak of their era!

If the warships of the Western countries of the same era were hit with a few front-loading solid shells, they would not have suffered such irreversible wounds to the hull at all, and they might even find a few wooden planks to modify them a little, and they could go out of port to meet the enemy ships again!

Not to mention their speed, under the premise that Zhang Yun repeatedly asked for a faster construction speed, those old shipwrights could only sacrifice the speed of these warships, resulting in them simply not being able to catch up with any warships of Western countries of the same era.

These are not the most painful for Zhang Yun, what makes Zhang Yun most painful is that because each ship has been soaked in seawater for a long time, various parts have rotted to varying degrees!

In fact, logically speaking, there is no problem with raw materials at all, and even if you need big wood from the Northeast, Zhang Yun has his own way to transport them and send them directly to Sanya, Hainan......

After all, even when the wild boar skin started, there were eight major Jin merchants to help him at any cost, and when Zhang Yun wanted to raise troops and obviously had the strength to seize the world, those northern merchants and wealthy families naturally knew what to do.

However, when these raw materials are sent, after all, they are only raw materials, and logically speaking, they should be placed in a cool place for at least three or four years, and the moisture on the wood can be dried naturally, so that the best shipbuilding materials can be obtained.

And a ship made of the same material can sail on the ocean for at least several years, but it does not need to be repaired!

Those old shipwrights also talked to Zhang Yun about this, but they were helpless, but Zhang Yun urged them to build ships.

So now, Zhang Yun can only look at the tattered warships in the harbor in a daze!

The underwater part of some battleships has even begun to rot, how long has it been since it was launched?

Zhang Yun always thought that those old shipwrights in Fujian were scared of themselves, where would the ship rot so easily?

"Hey......"

Up to now, Zhang Yun could only sigh loudly on the shore, but fortunately, Zhang Yun didn't plan to use these wooden-hulled warships as the main type of ships......

In fact, from the very beginning, Zhang Yun wanted to use ironclad ships, but unfortunately the technical problems were not up to standard, but now those craftsmen also have experience in building large warships!

Zhang Yun's next thought was, should he start building an ironclad ship immediately?
