Captain Sun Yu saw in the captain's room that when he had just arrived about 300 meters away from the duckbill stone, he leaned over and shouted at a copper horn on the right side of the workbench: "Starboard gun position ready!" ”

At this moment, he heard an echo of "ready" from the horse inside.

Captain Sun Yu slapped the workbench at this time and shouted: "Target Yoshino, open fire!" ”

Immediately, there was an echo of the buzzing sound in the brass trumpet: "Yes! ”

"Knock", "Knock", "Knock" Within twenty seconds, three 12-pound solid shells were fired perfectly.

The sound of the M1857's iron chains clattering from the brass trumpets of the M1857's guns was constantly heard from the brass horn.

But the results were not satisfactory.

"Damn! It's still that level! Captain Sun Yu put down the binoculars. Of the three shells just now, the first flew high and went far over the reef; The second flew low, and fell into the water a hundred meters from the reef, stirring up a useless wave; The third shot missed, and fell into the water fifty meters to the left of the reef, and it seemed to hit some reef, and the waves were not high, and they rolled out a fan-shaped wave.

Damn, you still have to practice shooting accurately!

Captain Sun Yu didn't mean to reproach these Ming Hai'an gunners at all.

There were also technicians in the Hantang Group who were not convinced and went to the ship to try their hands. Of course, everyone is very relieved about this artillery, and after casting, it has been tested by ultrasonic, and it is all at the level of black and gunpowder.

But as a result, they felt that this M1857 secondary gun was indeed difficult to shoot accurately, and they also deeply understood the reason why this time and space fired at about 50 meters.

The hull of the sailboat was constantly rising and falling under the action of the waves, and even this depended on the fact that they had not yet retreated in this plane, otherwise it would be a problem to recover the hull.

The technicians of the Hantang Group dropped a sentence and said: "I can only practice slowly, the broken cannon, wait for the 75 direct-aiming gun." ”

The technicians left in a huff, but the Ming Haian gunners were really not convinced, looking at the way they shot, they were not much different from us, why did they say that this was a tattered gun? It's so much better than the red-haired man!

Therefore, there are only two ways, one side to increase the intensity of training, and the other to increase the frequency of shooting.

Sometimes conceptual blows can also cost lives.

Captain Sun Yu ordered: "Two more rounds of continuous fire, unified artillery count!" ”

After a wild shot for a while, haha, a shot!

In the telescope of Captain Sun Yu, the eternal body of the reef was smashed out of a basin-sized pit!

"Well done!" Captain Sun Yu shouted, "Go forward, turn around, prepare for the port gun position!" ”

Damn, that's more than 10 percent!

However, Captain Wang Cheng's Hai'an No. 2 ship was all three rounds empty, and successfully lowered the accuracy of Captain Sun Yu.

In the end, when the left and right sides of the port were all shot, it was calculated, that is, seven or eight percent, and this was still under the condition that the wave height was only a little more than one meter under the wind force of three or four levels.

Captain Sun Yu is on fire, damn it, go to a hundred meters!

As a result, he took revenge, and after these three rounds, more than ten big pits were filled in the body of that reef out of thin air!

Well, that's it, that's the best position, almost more than half of them.

Originally, I wanted to put a thread gun, but I was reluctant to do it, after all, it is much more difficult to process than a solid ball.

The people on the Ming merchant ship saw the shelling of Hai'an No. 1 and No. 2, and they all applauded loudly, and some people jumped around, this is a warship to protect us, and what pirate dares to come and rob us?!

There are also many maritime merchants who have already made up their minds, no matter where they are after going back, they must first apply for a Taiwan ID card, and the whole family can do it!!

It's a pity that Captain Sun Yu and Captain Wang Cheng, as well as the captain of a supply ship, are not qualified political workers, and when they were in Sanya, they also missed an act of using the protection of businessmen with Taiwanese ID cards.

As a result, they really didn't say anything.

However, a few months later, when they returned to Yazhou City, Sanya, they stumbled upon a large number of businessmen with Taiwanese ID cards out of thin air.

A lie may be repeated a hundred times to become the truth, but a true thing that happens once will be more than a hundred times of propaganda. Of course, if you want to be able to understand it, it has to do with people's IQ.

The captain of the Portuguese merchant ship had a solemn face, and he watched the performance of the Haian 1 and Haian 2 in a daze. At this time, he really understood the intention of the speaker de Aron to arrange this.

Yes, my God, we are just using them to retake the city of Malacca, don't let them reconcile with the Dutch, and the power that can completely annihilate the Dutch fleet must not be underestimated!

Sure enough, they were able to shoot from 300 yards away!

As early as the 16th century, blast furnaces began to cast iron guns in Europe, and began to appear with the help of hydraulic mechanical boring, and their craftsmen used drill bits to draw holes, so that the bore diameter was consistent and smoother.

The people of Hantang Group made it clear that from this point in time, Mingren's casting technology began to lag behind, especially Director Li Ziqiang said: "Machining, it represents the comprehensive level of industry. In this time and space, from this point on, the Aketo craftsman began to be no match for him. ”

But fortunately, the time for the spread and development of technology in this time and space is calculated in years or ten years, and in the eyes of the Hantang Group, these are nothing.

Not all iron sand can be made in blast furnaces, and the technology is also a high-precision level for them.

So, from the forties of the 16th century to the 17th century, the British had a firm grasp of this method of processing with their own resources and technology, which bought time for the development of their navy.

God first gave them the geographical conditions for the development of the innate coal-iron complex industry, and Birmingham and Manchester are good places for the development of industry.

It was not until the beginning of the seventeenth century that the Dutch mastered the iron ore of Sweden and began the development of iron cannon processing, and even in 1620, after the Spaniards and the Portuguese followed suit, this technology began to be a conventional technology in Europe, and the armies of various countries basically reached the standard configuration of the navy and army in 1650.

Please note that there is a huge difference between casting and forging, and there is also a big difference between casting and whether you can continue to process after casting, and this qiē represents the need for power!

Yes, the demand for the driving force is secretly driving the development of a nation!

The craftsmen on the Ming Continent don't seem to need it, or don't have the soil to produce it.

From the two-wheeled carriage to the wheelbarrow, and then back into the great sedan chair, various types of sedan chairs, or from a certain level, it can be seen that this is a compromise of the craftsmen on the Ming Continent, or a compromise of a nation.

However, the Hantang Group came, and from the very beginning they were "doing everything" in terms of the driving force. And not only to develop themselves, but also to force the Zhengjia Group out of a coal-iron complex in Fujian, whether this is a lure, or an instigation, or coercion, anyway, the Zhengjia Group has to go on.

Of course, there are reasons for the persecution of the general environment, and the Zheng family group knows that the Tatars will never let them go, they must unite with the Hantang Group, and they must continue to strengthen themselves.

The Hantang Group took out the M1857 guns in the American Civil War this time, which is a big golden finger, and it has also become a sea and land series.

They cheated shamefully in metal materials and post-processing, in order to save things, when the M1857 had a higher chamber pressure than in the past and refined black, gunpowder, even a rifling was not pulled, what to say about making do with it first, it was too wasteful to use modern tools.

Well, the Haian Brigade had to play with the M1857 artillery first, just like the Luan Brigade.

Europe had a cannon that could shoot three miles away, but that was more than a concept, let alone loaded on a ship.

There were also 60-pound battleship guns in this time and space, and the Sea King in 1637 had them, but how useful this kind of front-loading and extremely heavy artillery was in naval engagements, the technicians of the Han and Tang groups had always suspected that this was.

But judging from historical data, this thing actually fought a naval battle for sixty years, well, it can be seen that the power of their 60-pounder gun was not reflected, otherwise in terms of the combat effectiveness of one cannon to destroy one, there would be no need to fight so many naval battles.

Besides, what is this about Hantang Group? This is Asia, and, if we only count the distance of your naval battles, the M1857 is a little ahead of its time.

This was really a bit ahead of its time, and the captain of the Portuguese merchant marine, Norsson, said to his first mate: "Please record it in the nautical diary, they can still achieve the accuracy rate of five out of ten shots after firing from 100 yards away, and what is even more terrifying is their rate of fire, which makes people feel that they are firing in bursts!" At this distance, no warship could resist it. ”

While continuing to travel south, Captain Sun Yu and Captain Wang Cheng kept communicating and complementing each other, and perhaps they were also making continuous progress.

The Strait of Malacca is located between the Malay Peninsula and the island of Sumatra.

This is named after the ancient city of Malacca on the south coast of the Malay Peninsula.

The strait is about 1,080 kilometers long with a northwest-southeast trend, with the Andaman Sea in the west and the South China Sea in the east, and 1,185 kilometers together with the Singapore Strait at the exit.

It is 370 kilometers wide in the northwest and 37 kilometers in the southeast. It covers an area of 63,000 square kilometers. The bottom of the sea is relatively flat and sandy. The water depth decreases from north to south and from east to west, generally 25-115 meters.

There are many small islands at the mouth of the southeast gorge, some of which have rocky reefs and sand ridges on the edges, which hinder navigation in that part of the world, and many huge ships have to go around the Lombok Strait.

But in this time and space, it is difficult for their sailboats to run aground, and of course they are still afraid of reefs.

The Portuguese hid a lot of munitions on merchant ships, and their sailors could be turned into armed men in the blink of an eye. In Macau's Speaker de Aaron's plan, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Malacca City with the Han Tang Group fleet to resupply and suddenly exert force to recapture Malacca City.

The Speaker of the Parliament of Macao, De Allon, believes that after the Han Tang Group seized the city of Geranza of the Dutch East India Company, it did not interrupt its commercial contacts with the Dutch, which can be seen that they did not want to completely stiffen relations with the Dutch, which is not in the interests of the Portuguese, especially Macao, and if they unite, then Macao will return to the state of immortality in the past, instead of presenting a phenomenon of rejuvenation in which old trees bloom into new flowers.

Although there have been Macao maritime merchants who have been reporting to the Han Tang Group through various channels how weak Batavia City is, they don't seem to be very interested in it, which is really disappointing.

But if they took the initiative to trade with India, the Portuguese had an opportunity to retake the city of Malacca.

Succeeded, they regained the best supply point, and the Hantang Group could not get out of it; failed, they still have no Malacca City as now, and the Hantang Group still can't get out of it.

The Han Tang clique had no idea of the Portuguese's secret intentions, so they agreed.

But the Portuguese were not at all aware of the secret intentions of the Han Tang group, and they even stopped on the island they called Temasek again, and this time it was said that it would take a long time.

Captain Norson, a Portuguese merchant ship, was a little anxious, and he and another captain took a traffic boat to Hai'an No. 1 to meet Captain Sun Yu.
