Shanghai Shipyard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Obviously, there are stories about these steam-powered ships, the parts of the ships that have been shot everywhere, and even the traces of those burning, all of which tell everyone that these ships have just experienced a tragic battle at sea.

A few days earlier, Zhang Feng had fought a naval battle in Naha Bay, which had more or less reached the shipyard, and these shipbuilders had heard about it more or less.

"I heard that the chief soldier fought a sea battle with the Japanese people in Naha and won a big victory! Beat those Japanese dwarves all over the ground looking for teeth. ”

"The chief soldier is so powerful, mighty!"

"Everyone saw that these sea ships were not there, and the original sea battle must have been very fierce!"

“……”

At the dock of the shipyard, a large group of shipbuilders were inspecting the damage to these steam-powered sea vessels.

After the Battle of Naha Bay, Zhang Feng presided over a ceremony to rebuild the Naha Military Port, leaving behind hundreds of sailors and marines, and of course, the Ryukyus side sent thousands of people to participate in the construction of the Naha Military Port.

After returning, the ships damaged in the naval battle arrived at the shipyard, and these ships needed to be repaired, and after repair, they would definitely continue to be used.

Today, Zhang Feng also came to the shipyard.

Zhang Feng was most concerned about the construction of the ironclad ship, and first went to the dock to see the ironclad ship under construction, which was the first ironclad ship and Zhang Feng's baby bump.

Because it is the first ironclad ship, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the construction speed is a little slow.

After watching the construction of the ironclad ship, Zhang Feng had a long talk with Tang Jianqing, on the one hand, to guide the construction of the ironclad ship, and on the other hand, Zhang Feng planned to build a warship with a larger displacement and a larger gun caliber.

Of course, this is a wooden structure battleship, because a wooden structure battleship is built quickly and can be equipped in large quantities in a relatively short time, but if it is an ironclad ship, the speed is much slower.

Zhang Feng clearly knew that before the ironclad battleships were installed in large quantities, the wood-framed battleships would be his main battleships.

Zhang Feng said slowly: "Donald, to be honest, although the naval battle of Naha Bay in a few days was a big victory, the whole process was also relatively difficult, mainly because the caliber of our artillery was small, and in the face of the opponent's large warships, the power was a little insufficient. ”

Tang Jianqing nodded, as if he had guessed what Zhang Feng meant, Tang Jianqing turned around and took out a ship model, about two feet long, and the workmanship was very exquisite.

When Zhang Feng looked at it, his eyes lit up, and Zhang Feng had already seen that this was a model of a battleship.

"Donald, this is ......"

Tang Jianqing said: "Lord General Soldier, this is a new type of warship designed by me and Lao Song, with a size of 3,000 materials, a caliber of 150 mm main guns, a number of reinforced structural designs and processes for the hull, and more watertight cabin anti-sinking design......"

Tang Jianqing must be very sure that he can make this new model of a 3,000-material warship, whether it is the design or the process, it has been clearly considered.

Zhang Feng listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

After listening, Zhang Feng said happily: "Tang Lao, this coincides with me, I came this time, and I was about to ask you to build a bigger warship, but I didn't think about it, you took the first step, and you have thought it so clearly, to the extent that you can start construction." ”

Tang Jianqing said modestly: "Lord General Soldier, this is what Lao Song and I did together, if I am alone, it will not be so fast." ”

Old Song is Song Yingxing.

After being modest, Tang Jianqing said: "Lord Commander, should we start construction of this kind of 3,000-material warship immediately?" ”

Zhang Feng said briskly: "I think we can start construction immediately." ”

Zhang Feng still recognized Tang Jianqing's shipbuilding level very much, and Tang Jianqing would definitely be fully competent for this kind of wooden structure warship.

In addition, Zhang Feng agreed so happily, Zhang Feng was also looking forward to this kind of warship. At present, the navy is equipped with seagoing ships that cannot be called warships, because they are all improved on the basis of transport ships.

On the basis of the original 1,000-material transport ship or 2,000-material transport ship, it was renovated and upgraded, equipped with 70 mm caliber guns, and increased firing holes, such a ship could not be called a complete warship.

The 3,000-material battleship designed by Tang Jianqing and Song Yingxing was completely designed for naval warfare, which was stronger, more resistant to artillery bombardment, had a stronger structural design, had more watertight cabins, and was more difficult to sink.

Seeing Zhang Feng's readily agreed, Tang Jianqing was happy for a while.

However, Zhang Feng obviously still has an important task, Zhang Feng said: "Donald, there is an important thing that you need to send someone to do. ”

Tang Jianqing did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Lord General Soldier, you can say it." ”

Zhang Feng took out a map, pointed to the map and said: "Donald, look, this is where our Shanghai shipyard is located, here is Zhoushan Military Port, and here is Ningbo." ”

"Elder Tang, we are going to choose a site to build our second shipyard in Ningbo, and this difficult task will be handed over to you, how about it?"

Tang Jianqing said confidently: "Lord General Soldier, my old man is still quite strong, and the matter of building a new shipyard will be left to me, don't worry, I will definitely build another large shipyard as soon as possible, and then make every effort to build our new type of 3,000-material warship." ”

Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction.

In the future, with two large shipyards, the 3,000-material warships will be continuously equipped with the navy, plus the 3,000-material transport ships, supply ships, plus the existing 1,000-material and 2,000-material sea ships, it is conceivable that the development prospects of the navy are broad.

Sometimes, Zhang Feng feels that he is very fortunate to have encountered such a high level of shipbuilding in an era, and has completely developed the shipbuilding technology, especially the construction technology of wooden structure sea ships, to a peak level, and the wooden ships can be built to the extent that the size of 3,000 materials and 5,000 materials is remarkable.

………

At the beginning of November, the construction of the Ningbo shipyard began, and at the same time, the construction of the first new 3,000-material warship was also started at the Shanghai shipyard.

At this time, the shipyard can be described as busy, not only the first ironclad ship is being built, but also the 3,000-material transport ship is also being built, and the new 3,000-material warship is also being built.

On the official road from Shanghai to Songjiang Prefecture.

Pedestrians, porters, horse-drawn carriages, etc., come and go from time to time, and since the official road was completely completed a few days ago, the number of people taking the official road has gradually increased.

Without him, because the official road is flat and spacious, the cement pavement, very easy to walk, even if it is still drizzling like today, but there is no mud like before.

"Dad, this road is really easy to walk, if it was before, it would be one foot deep, one foot shallow, full of muddy water, and it would be enough to walk."

A strong man next to him, carrying a child, the child was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and the strong man said: "Mother, don't say, this road is really easy to walk, at least a dozen miles an hour, if it is usual, like this rainy day, it would be good to walk a few miles, and I am tired to death." ”

The couple was talking, and there was a shout of "drive, drive, drive" next to them, and they saw a carriage, loaded with a cart of things, walking briskly past the two of them, and gradually moving away.

If this concrete pavement had not been built, in the event of such a rainy day, this carriage would have been stuck in the mud long ago, not wanting to go so fast.

Today, Zhang Feng is returning from Shanghai County, because it is drizzling, Zhang Feng is also riding in a carriage, which is naturally not a carriage for transporting goods, but a luxury carriage specially used to carry people.

The carriage is very comfortable and relatively stable, Zhang Feng looked at the outside of the carriage, and said in his heart, it is worthy of a smooth cement avenue, which is much easier.

"Is it to repair the official road from Songjiang Mansion to Suzhou Mansion, and also build such a cement avenue." Zhang Feng thought in his heart, "Or, think about the construction of the railway." ”

Thinking of building a railway, Zhang Feng himself was shocked, such an idea was too advanced, this is not as simple as building a cement avenue, but involves a lot of things.

Historically, the first railways appeared in the middle of the 19th century, two hundred years later, and are now being built......

Zhang Feng hesitated, but the idea in his heart sprouted wildly, and soon occupied Zhang Feng's entire brain, so that Zhang Feng said in his heart that maybe he could give it a try and build a low-speed railway with a length of 100 kilometers and a speed of 20 or 30 kilometers per hour, just like the railways of the nineteenth century.

If a railroad is built and steam-powered trains run on the railway, it will be completely epoch-making, but it will not happen overnight.

………

On the outskirts of Shenyang, on a large training ground.

In the cold wind, three groups of Manchu soldiers stood neatly, these Manchu soldiers were very different from other Manchu soldiers, not wearing armor, but wearing thick cotton clothes and thick cotton hats.

Dolgon rode on his horse, and there were many Manchu generals behind him, one of whom said: "Master, the warriors have been training for more than half a year, you can take a look at our shooting." ”

Dolgon nodded, this time he had come to see the training and shooting. Before his death, Yue Tuo told him that firearms must be developed, and Dolgon began to try, forming the first firearms unit of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with more than 3,000 people organized into a firearms battalion.

This was the first firearms battalion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, of course, the Manchu Qing admired cold weapons, advocating swords, advocating bows and arrows, advocating cavalry, and forming firearms battalions, many Manchu generals opposed or were not optimistic at all, and Dolgon has always felt pressure.

Dolgon nodded, and the Manchu general next to him immediately signaled, and one of the Jialazhen in charge of specific command immediately began to command.

"Start, !!"

The first row of 1,000 people, this is a team of 1,000 people, each with an arquebus, two steps forward with a gun, ignition, aiming and shooting, and suddenly, the gunshots rang out.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The first thousand-man squad took two steps back after firing the first shot, the second thousand-man squad released their guns forward, and then the third thousand-man squadron, this Manchu firearms battalion actually used three-stage shooting.
