The biggest gain of this naval battle is knowing your side's ability to engage in broadside combat, and it has become very powerful because of the newly developed short-barreled shotgun! Therefore, if you encounter a large warship of the Spanish fleet in the future, it is not unacceptable to engage in broadside battles. Coupled with the new gunboats, there is no longer any fear of the mighty Spanish fleet!

Zhang Fan most wanted to tell Akon and the Book Demon the information of these naval battles, so that they could bring new naval battle ideas and new jishu to China when they were building a fleet of sailors in China. However, the newly developed light and fast gunboat, because the recoil of the artillery is too large, causes the hull to shake violently during bombardment, which greatly reduces the accuracy of shelling.

This light high-speed gunboat also had less than 60% of the hits in the Florida waters when bombarding the pirate ship at close range, and it was also the result of the control of the master gunnery of Red Cloth Strip Jack. If you change to an ordinary gunner, the hit rate can be imagined. Zhang Fan estimated that there were only two solutions, one was to reduce the caliber of the artillery, but to increase the hull.

However, when the hull is larger, the speed and agility are definitely poor. If you reduce the caliber of the artillery, the power and attack range are worse again. Unless you use a newer rear-loading gun jishu, and then increase the barrel casting strength. In this way, even if the caliber and recoil of the gun are reduced, their power and attack range will not be reduced.

Before he reached Panama, he met Akon halfway through. This guy let giant tortoises inhabit the Pearl Islands in the Gulf of Panama in the Pacific Ocean. Through the calculation of Qimen Dunjia, he learned that Zhang Fan Luyi was in danger, but maybe the evil turned into good fortune. After calculating their accurate sea route, they came to meet them.

When the three partners met again, and experienced the danger of life and death and were safe and sound, they were all very excited. Akon listened to Zhang Fan, Caterina and Captain Hook's report, and nodded. He had already figured out the problem with the bookdemon the light and fast gunboat, but it was only a cheap Shiyan ship, and it hadn't had time to test it yet.

In the coastal dockyards of China, he and the book demon had already improved this gunboat, as Zhang Fan estimated, enlarging the hull and improving the artillery jishu. China's well-established shipbuilding and foundry industry system makes this task easier. Now the artillery casting jishu on the Chinese side has been two eras ahead of Europe!

Moreover, under the repeated care of the book demon Aken, the cautious governor of the eight prefectures, Hu Zongxian, listed all weapons and shipbuilding as important court secrets, even the civilian shipyards in China were forbidden to know about them, let alone the European fleet. According to the current progress of several of China's largest dockyards, in two years, the first large armed fleet will set sail for the Americas! In three years, a larger armed fleet will sail directly to the Caribbean!

In five years, there will be more fleets of Daming sailors, heading to various parts of Shijie. Hu Zongxian also promised to continue to write to the imperial court and open the sea ban, and this major event seems to have loosened a little. Emperor Jiajing no longer seems to be so stubborn in this matter. This may be related to the enchantment of the times, after all, it is already ten years after Zhang Fan experienced Europe, and at this time, the Daming Sea Frontier should have been banned. Although the scene staggered the times in order to improve the difficulty of Zhang Fan's team's experience, history is also automatically correcting.

If the ban on the Ming Sea is opened, and at the instigation of Zhang Fan's team, the foreign colonization of the Ming Dynasty will be effectively implemented, then China will be able to rise because of its huge population base! Then the development of shijie history in the future will be greatly changed!

In the past two years, Zhang Fan's team has developed in a low-key manner in the Caribbean, but because of the help of the giant tortoise's super earth escape technique, Akon has really made a lot of money for the team! This wealth has allowed the team's base in the Caribbean to grow very quickly. Captain Baca and Wang Cuiqiao's management ability is indeed extraordinary, and the lair of Captain Baca on the island of Haiti has built the first batch of 5 300-ton gold-silk teak ironclad gunboats! There are also 10 newly renovated 100-ton lightweight, high-speed, and low-cost pine-fir gunboats. Such a liliang can already compete with the Spanish Caribbean fleet.

These gunboats and gunboats were single-masted propeller galleons with twin guns arranged in a staggered height on a central axis, and the guns were the most advanced breech-loading guns imported from the Chung Hwa Cannon Foundry! The barrel is high-quality and high-strength cannon steel! While the firing range increased, the gun body was light and the recoil was relatively small.

And all the crew members are also equipped with close-range weapons - short-barreled shotguns! However, Akon also selected a group of excellent marksmen and equipped them with more complex but long-range breech-loading rifles, and as snipers on the ship, each ship was equipped with more than 10. Each ship is also staffed with 10 Maori warriors who can dance wardances, and their wardances can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the crew, which has been proven in actual combat.

Two years later, the first ocean-going fleet of the Daming Navy Division set sail! In order to ensure the success of this expedition and colonization, Zhang Fan personally led the 'Holy Monkey' to lead the way! On this voyage, the Daming Navy Division has a total of 150 large and small warships and transport ships! Among them, there are three propeller nine-masted treasure ships! This largest treasure ship has four propellers, nearly 150 meters long and 70 meters wide, and has a loading capacity of tens of thousands of tons! Compared to modern large ships, they are not left behind!

The ship has five twin large-caliber cannons, named: 'Zhenhai'! The cannon is ten meters long, and the cannon body is refined into a dragon body, and the cannon muzzle is contained in the dragon's mouth, which is very powerful! The cannon was placed on a huge cast-iron turret on the central axis of the ship, which required more than ten people to operate, could rotate 360 degrees, and had a range of ten nautical miles!

The casting of this giant cannon is due to the fact that the book demon has greatly improved the steelmaking jishu of China by teaching the cannon steel formula to later generations, and this achievement has been achieved! Of course, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty also provided a guarantee for the economic foundation of this jishu. There are also three smaller two-pack 'Krup' cannons on the treasure ship, one in the bow and two in the stern, with a gun length of six meters, and a range of six nautical miles! The second and third decks are also equipped with dozens of large long-barreled guns 'Longyan' and light long-barreled guns 'Jiaoyan', with a length of four meters and a firing range of more than three nautical miles.

The fleet has 15 five-masted galleons with propellers of more than 3,000 tons, three 'Zhenhai' cannons mounted in two groups, and 30 'Longyan' and 'Jiaoyan' long-barreled guns on the two sides of the second and third decks. There are 20 1,000-ton propeller three-masted armed merchant ships, five two-pack 'Krup' cannons, and 20 'Longyan' and 'Jiaoyan' guns on two decks and two sides.

There are 30 500-ton propeller three-masted gunboats, three two-pack 'Kryu' giant guns, and 10 'Longyan' and 'Jiaoyan' guns on two decks and two sides. There are 50 300-ton two-masted gunboats and 5 'Longyan' gunboats. The rest are 30 150-ton dhows and 30 scouts, and three Jiaoyan in two combinations.

All the sails on the ship are still Chinese-style fan-shaped canopy sails, like dragon fins. At a glance, it looks like countless dark red arowanas of all sizes on the sea! Such a large fleet assembled in Fuzhou, chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, paid tribute to the dragon god, and marched towards the Pacific Ocean!

On this voyage, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Ming Navy! The leading generals turned out to be the famous anti-Japanese generals Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou! This time, they didn't have time to exert their energy in the fight against pirates and pirates along the coast of China, and it is estimated that the scene will allow them to make contributions overseas. The Ming fleet carried a large number of craftsmen and immigrants of all kinds and 20,000 people, enough to build several towns!

The division was not smooth, although the 'Holy Fox' and the three 10,000-ton treasure ships all had the strong skills of commanding the fleet and suppressing the harsh environment at sea. But as soon as he left the East China Sea, he lost a fleet in a super tsunami. About a quarter of the people and supplies are missing!

This is presumably the historical correction of the scene. Because China has never colonized in the oceans. Especially across the Pacific Ocean. It doesn't matter if he loses a fleet, it's just that in this super storm, Zhang Fan even lost contact with his teammates. Wait for the wind and the waves to calm down, and then contact the book demon on the other ship. But Akon is missing......

It was not until the fleet of the Ming Navy Division arrived in the later California region, which is now inhabited by Indian tribes, and the landing point of the fleet was San Francisco. This is the Akon Book Demon indicating that this place is rich in gold! As soon as the fleet arrived, Zhang Fan received a summons from Akon, and he didn't expect that Akon's guy would appear here first.

"I've been here for a week, and you've only arrived." Akon put down his binoculars, and the sea in front of him was still full of dragon sails. He cut a slice of fish from the campfire and ate it comfortably. Seeing his country's ocean-going fleet arrive in the Americas, he felt a sense of joy in his heart that he was in the Book of Genesis.

"Where did you go?! It makes us worry blindly. Zhang Fan asked.

Akon daxiao, "Haha! Remember that fleet of the Great Ming Naval Division? Hehe, the storm blew us off the course and even to the Philippines, so I simply led them to the Melbourne area of Australia! It is also a treasure land rich in gold, and I want to lay the economic foundation for China's overseas establishment in the future! ”

China is a nation that is good at building and operating, and can take root, and once they establish themselves in a certain place, they can create a civilization on this land that is not plundering.

The Indians did not have the kind of hostility towards these humans, who were also black-eyed, black-haired, and yellow-skinned. Moreover, the farming jishu brought by the Chinese people also benefited them. The Americas are very large, and some are land. Moreover, the Chinese people are very kind, and the Daming sailors are also very strong, these factors made the Ming immigrants quickly get their feet here.

Here left an advance contingent of Ming colonists, about 5,000 people, who founded two towns. The flotilla then headed for Panama. Along the way, at the request of Aken, the Ming fleet also left a colonizer pioneer force of 3,000 people in the narrowest part of the Pacific Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico in the Caribbean.
