The brand-new Sagara Dragon King sailed out of the Nanjing shipyard in the middle of the night, and the Ming Dynasty would not let the people know the relationship between the Sagara Dragon King and the Ming Dynasty, even if everyone understood that this ship could not be made by someone other than the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible to build such a ship in other places.

This ship, which can be said to be the pinnacle of Daming's shipbuilding industry, is known as the ship of miracles.

After Bai Minghe took over the Nanjing shipyard, he selected the best shipwrights and built such a ship with the best materials.

Generally, 2,000 warships, no matter how complex the Nanjing Shipyard is, can guarantee that they will be launched within five months and put into battle. And this one, built for a full fifteen months, originally this ship was to replace the White Shark as the new flagship of the White Crane, but before it was marked by the White Shark, it became the Sagara Dragon King.

A true Sea Lord-class battleship.

The materials are selected from the thousand-year-old trees of the Siamese primeval forest and processed with special treatments, which the shipwright considers to be stronger than iron. The largest main ingredient was nearly one zhang thick and weighed eighty stones, and just transporting this main ingredient secretly called a small fleet and dragged it back to the Nanjing shipyard from the water.

The streamlined design of the hull combines the understanding of modern ships by the Ming Dynasty, Byzantium, and White Crane.

The length of the ship is 36 zhang, that is, more than 100 meters long in modern times, and 6 zhang and 6 feet wide. The largest mainsail is 12 zhang high, or 36 meters, from the deck. The design displacement of this ship is 40,000 stones, but the actual displacement is 36,800 stones, and it can carry 12,000 stones.

The rest was given to the crew, artillery, ammunition compartments, etc.

The artillery is the most amazing part of this ship, there are 128 guns on the ship, and if that ship dares to take a salvo on this side, even the White Shark can be broken into pieces.

The red lacquered hull, the black mainsail, and the golden dragon head on a black background biting blood roses on the flagpole. Represents the Shagaro.

Light load, full sail, full speed, according to the modern speed is eighteen knots, can run faster than Huaiyu's steamship, Shiraming Crane believes that this ship in Southeast Asia, one ship is enough to destroy the enemy's fleet. Even though the main force of the Ming Dynasty met this ship. It's hard to beat it without paying enough price.

Because of the appearance of this ship, it has also brought the process of Daming wood manufacturing ship to a new level.

In the design of the new sailing ship, the boatmen of the three-sail battleship for pure combat are confident that the speed will exceed this, but not too much, after all, the use of wind power has reached the extreme, and there is no point in increasing the number and size of sails, unless the structure of the hull is changed.

At dawn, when the sun leaps out of the sea, the Shagaro, with its black mainsail, raises its flag. After saluting the patrol fleet guarding here, he sped off the coast of Yi Island.

Six new ships of the dark flotilla with a speed of about fifteen knots sailed out of Keelung Military Port and followed the Shagalo to the south!

"Good ship!"

The veteran general with the patrol bit a cigar and shouted at the sea.

His daughter was the first mate on the ship, and there were 700 sailors on the Shagaro, plus a total of more than 1,000 combatants. To be on such an errand boat is a lifetime of pride.

The ship sailed off the coast of Taiwan, at another sunrise. Li Huamei ordered in the captain's room: "Full speed, Dongsha!" ”

The six boats behind received the flag. Continue to maintain the current speed, continue to move south, and converge off the sea of the Babuyan Water Division, three hundred miles north of the Lawag military port.

In the Dongsha Islands, a fleet of more than thirty ships is separating, and the flagship is going east alone.

The crimson giant ship rode the wind and waves, its back to the sun, and its black mainsail shone with a strange light.

"Good ship!" Deng Hailong, who was standing at the bow of the boat, shouted, starting with a sailor. After dedicating his life to the Daming sailor, Deng Hailong knows very well what a good ship is, running fast, strong, and able to withstand wind and waves. The most important thing is that there is enough combat power, and the one-sided sixty-two guns on this crimson ship represent a kind of arrogance.

An arrogance that dares to challenge any ship in the world.

Both ships began to slow down at the same time, and were ready to take overboard, and after the speed slowed down, more than a dozen cables flew past each other, each with a crew member holding on to the rope and tying it to his own ship.

Deng Hailong did not use the hanging basket used to save people and goods when receiving the broadside, but used a long rope to swing himself over.

"Old Deng, you are still a good skill!" Bai Minghe walked to the deck with a folding fan in his hand, wearing a blue-white robe and a very ordinary Confucian tiara.

"Xiaobai, if you give me such a boat, I can be ten years younger!" Deng Hailong greeted him with a smile and a fist. When he saw Li Huamei, who was following the white crane, Deng Hailong clenched his fists again: "I've admired the name for a long time, General Li!" ”

"Hello General Deng!" Li Huamei performed a Ming military salute very well, and behind Li Huamei, the crew members of the department also gave a military salute to Deng Hailong. In terms of identity, Deng Hailong was in front of them, the older one was also calling uncle, and the younger one was even calling grandpa.

What's more, Deng Hailong's name as the Dragon King of the South China Sea had already spread throughout the Daming Sailor when they were children.

With Deng Hailong behind them, there was the rumored Ottoman Navy that destroyed the powerful Byzantine Empire in front of them, and they dared to rush forward in the face of artillery fire, Deng Hailong represented the undefeated sailors.

Deng Hailong's current official title is the chief military officer of the Ming Nanhai Commander, referred to as the commander, the real military attache from the first grade, this official position is considered by the navy master to be the essence of Deng Hailong.

There is Yu Qian in the land war and Deng Hailong in the navy, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and these two people represent life!

Only by living can we go home and enjoy the glory!

Bai Minghe and Deng Hailong walked to the bow of the boat, and everyone retreated into the distance, even Li Huamei was no exception.

"Xiaobai, can you give Lao Deng and me a real truth, what do you want to do? What do you need Lao Deng me for? Waiting like this makes Lao Deng feel uneasy, he always has to do something to make people sleep peacefully! Deng Hailong's words were earnest.

Shirana stuck a folding fan on the back collar and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

This is a map of the world.

"Old Deng, here is where the earliest Roman Empire was, and now there is a pope here, Gallistus III. We don't care how many things he did, but there were two things that made Banzai unhappy, and very unhappy. He added a small country that is not as big as our Fujian, and called the small country of Portugal the overlord of the sea! ”

After listening to Bai Minghe's words, Deng Hailong pointed to his feet with a heavy face, and then pointed to his flagship: "You mean, my Daming Water Master is not strong enough?" ”

"Strong or not, there will naturally be a conclusion after the fight. This matter, long live has a secret purpose, attacking Portugal You Qinglian Dragon King is the best choice for the coach of Zhengyin, of course, there is another reason! ”

When Bai Minghe said this, he suddenly tore in half with the map.

"Old Deng, there is also an emerging naval power there, and they will have a fleet, known as the Invincible Armada. Of course I don't doubt that they can beat Portugal in the future, because they are really strong enough. In fact, Mo Long's injury was caused by their fleet, this matter is not a big deal, the real big thing is this! ”

Bai Minghe shook the map in his hand: "The Pope has ordered that half of this will go to the emerging power Spain Invincible Armada, and this half will go to Portugal, the overlord of the sea." ”

Deng Hailong took the map that was torn in half from Bai Minghe's hand and looked at it again, then folded it and put it in his arms, and said very solemnly: "This matter, please report it to Long live, just say the minister...... Got it. ”

"Yes!" Shira-nae Crane also nodded. "Peace of mind, if you really start fighting, it will be at least five years later, two years at most, and your new flagship Qinglian Dragon King is guaranteed to give you a surprise." After Bai Minghe finished speaking, he gave Deng Hailong two books: "This is the same book, one is in Byzantine and the other is in our Chinese!" ”

Deng Hailong took it, and wrote "Mark Polo's Travels" on the cover of the book

"Lao Deng, I'm alive with a white name, so I don't want anyone to treat my Daming as a dish on the table. I don't want our children and grandchildren to be treated as a dish and want them to look good! ”

"Peace of mind, there is Lao Deng here!" Deng Hailong responded with a smile to the white crane.

Only then did Bai Minghe take out another map, a map of Southeast Asia.

"Old Deng, there is enough wealth here. They'd ship it back shipwhen, and they'd slowly build up their navy, just like I did in the beginning. Temasek is the throat of our Ming Dynasty to the Tianzhu Sea, and now I will find a way to seal this place first, five years, when 10,000 warships. ”

Bai Minghe nodded solemnly.

Deng Hailong also nodded solemnly: "There is Lao Deng!" ”

When men talk to each other, when it comes to this, it is equivalent to giving their lives to the other party, and there is no need to commit to it, which is enough.

Deng Hailong also understands what he will encounter in the next five years, and he also knows what Bai Minghe wants to do.

Deng Hailong didn't doubt Bai Minghe's words, Bai Minghe wouldn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, as for how Bai Minghe knew, it wasn't for him to worry about it, but he was looking forward to how strong the sea overlord who was crowned by the Pope was, and how strong was the so-called Invincible Armada?

Deng Hailong went back, and Bai Minghe returned to the cabin.

The two ships separated, and the Shagala sped away at a maximum speed of eighteen knots.

"Old Deng, is that the new White Shark?" Several commanders surrounded him, and Lao Lei asked in a hurry.

"That's the Sagara Dragon King, Xiaobai is going to do something shady. And we, just double the training of the sailors, Xiaobai plans to increase the number of warships to the sailors, and within five years we will face two fleets from afar, one is named the overlord of the sea, and the other is called the Invincible Armada! ”

After Deng Hailong finished speaking, there was a sneer on his face.

There was a lot of scolding in the cabin, and these two names Yan zhòng stimulated the generals of the Daming Naval Division. In front of the unimaginably powerful Da Ming Water Master in their eyes, there are still these two names, which is really crazy. (To be continued......)
