readx; Zhu Youzhen and his entourage took a fortune boat down the river, and it took about half a day to finally arrive at the mouth of the Datong River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFurther ahead is Guangliang Bay, where the river widens abruptly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because outside Guangliang Bay was the Yellow Sea, and although the Jurchens were invincible in land warfare, they were at a loss for the sea. It is across the sea from Dengzhou, and the straight-line distance is not too far. Therefore, as long as you enter the Yellow Sea smoothly, it is equivalent to complete safety.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a snail horn in front of him, followed by a messy sound of birds. Zheng Sen, who had been watching from the bow of the ship, hurriedly came in and said, "Your Highness, there are more than ten warships blocking the way at the mouth of the river ahead!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was shocked and said: "What, the Jurchens also have a navy now?" ”

He hurriedly let the sailors carry them to the bow of the ship, and put their hands on the canopy to look into the distance. However, due to the distance, it is not easy to see clearly. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's too far!" If only there was a telescope. ”

"Telescopes? What is that? Li Zhenyan said strangely.

Zheng Sen was surprised and said: "The telescope is a new thing made by Westerners recently, and the villain once saw the captain of the red-haired man using this thing on the sea, and it is said that he can see things far away." But the red-haired man never refused to sell this thing, and Zheng Zhilong always wanted to buy it but couldn't buy it. How could His Highness know this? ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the backwardness of science and technology in the Ming Dynasty in this era. Originally, the scientific and technological level of ancient China has always been at the forefront of the world, but since the Renaissance and geographical discoveries in Europe, great progress has been made in science and technology in all aspects, while the Ming Dynasty implemented a policy of closing the country to the outside world, resulting in the stagnation of the level of science and technology. Needless to say, firearms such as the Fran cannon were all bought at a high price from the Franco; And "cutting-edge technology" things like telescopes, no matter how much money you pay, people won't sell them.

At this time, the fortune boat moved forward along the river for a while, and the ship on the opposite side could finally see clearly. I saw that these more than ten boats were of different sizes, and the small ones were about the same as ordinary fishing boats; But there are two large ones, but they are about ten zhang long and more than one zhang wide, with two sails in front and behind, and it seems that there are two or three hundred materials.

But the most peculiar thing is that on the decks of these two ships, there is a huge canopy made of hexagonal iron armor pieces, and each iron armor piece has an iron cone on it. This canopy wraps the entire deck so tightly that it is impossible to see what is underneath the canopy. A little below deck, ten huge sticks of wood stick out of each side of the ship, like centipedes.

At the bow of the ship, there is a dragon head with a high and a huge mouth, and at the waterline below the dragon head, there is also a hideous grimace engraved on it; In front of the grimace, a large, sharp iron anchor hangs.

Zhu Youzhen, Zheng Sen and others didn't know the goods, but Li Zhenyan said with a cold face: "Oh no, it's the turtle boat of the North Korean sailors!" ”

"Turtle boat?!" Zhu Youzhen was also taken aback. In his previous life, he had watched Smecta's time-traveling movie "Heavenly Army", in which the commander of the Korean naval division, Yi Sunsin, won a great victory against the Japanese 333 warships with thirteen turtle ships in the Battle of Mingyang.

It was with the great victory of Mingliang and the subsequent victory of Xianshan Island and Luyanghai that Yi Sunsin became a national hero of Korea. Even a missile destroyer of the South Korean Navy in the previous life was named "Chungmu Gong Yi Sunsin".

13vs333, what is this concept? To what extent does the turtle boat have a bull fork?

Li Zhenyan saw Zhu Youzhen's doubts and explained to him: "The turtle boat was built by Yi Sunsin, the prince of Chungmu, and the crew was one captain, twenty white-bladed hands, forty bird-bearers, and seventy oarsmen. The deck is covered with iron armor, which resembles a turtle shell, hence the name.

"When fighting, because it is equipped with huge oars, not only can the ship speed be faster than the enemy ship, but it can also flexibly turn around and insert into the enemy line to ram the enemy ship. Once encircled, you can use the shooting holes in the iron armor to shoot bird guns outward, and the dragon's mouth in the bow can also breathe fire to burn the sails of enemy ships. You can see that each piece of iron armor also has an iron cone on it, which can prevent enemy ships and sailors from jumping over, so it has excellent defense. ”

Zhu You listened but said with some doubts: "What about the artillery?" Can there be a Franco cannon on a turtle ship? ”

Li Zhenyan shook her head and said, "The Furlong cannon is too expensive, and the North Korean sailors can't afford to equip it at all." Moreover, the turtle ship carried too many people and heavy iron armor, and if more artillery and ammunition were placed, the ship would not be able to move fast. ”

Zhu You couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard this, and said in his heart that such a warship would be useful for hitting small fishing boats in the coastal waters. If you really fight in the depths of the ocean, if nothing else, whether you can sail there is a question. And before there was no steam power, sails were all about sails, and the bigger the ship, the bigger the sails it was equipped with, and the faster it was. A small boat of 200 materials like the turtle boat, not to mention 20 oars, is 200, and it will not play much role in the vast sea.

Just as he was groaning, the dozen or so warships had already come up. Zheng Sen looked at it, but shouted in shock: "Your Highness, these ships are not flying the flag of the DPRK, but the dragon flag of the Jurchens!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was also taken aback and watched carefully. I saw the appearance of the sailors on the ship, obviously Koreans, but the flag hanging on the bow of the ship was indeed the flag of the Jurchens. On one of the warships at the front, there were people shouting at this side, also speaking Korean.

"Damn, these sailor warships have surrendered and been captured!" Li Zhenyan said with a cold face, "The people who shouted asked us to stop the ship immediately, and they were ordered by Amin not to allow any ship to go to sea!" ”

Zhu You was also nervous and sweating profusely when he heard this. After all calculations, I didn't expect that in just a few days, the North Korean sailors actually surrendered, and they also cooperated with Amin's army. But now there is only this way out, no matter who stands in the way, you have to rush out desperately!

Therefore, he yelled: "Zheng Sen! ”

"The villain is here!"

"The king commands, ignore those ships, and rush out on your own!" Zhu Youzhen said murderously, "Furlong machine cannon preparation, if you dare to block it, give me a bombardment!" ”

"Obey!"

The sailors on the ship immediately got busy, Zheng Sen himself at the helm, and the others partly hoisted the sails to full, while others loaded the Franco's cannons.

The battleship on the opposite side saw that the momentum of the lucky ship was not reduced, and sure enough, they fired their bird guns at them. However, the distance between the two sides was still more than 200 paces, far beyond the range of the bird's gun, and they did this only to serve as a deterrent.

"Jeong-yeon, the people on the boat are all North Koreans, but now they are helping to abuse." Zhu Youzhen didn't forget to say to Li Zhenyan, "Tell me, should we shoot them?" ”

"They don't deserve to be North Koreans, they're just traitors!" Lee Jung-yeon hated and said.

"That's good!" Since he was injured and got on the lucky boat, Zhu Youzhen has always felt full of guilt, and he also wanted to vent at this time, so he yelled: "Shoot me!" ”
