Soltena was accustomed to the vast sea.

As a Mongol, it's not easy.

Sotna felt that if the Mongol warriors of Kublai Khan's Eastern Expedition had half of them who were good at water, then they would not be stopped by a mere kamikaze.

In that case, he may not be the Khan of Tongliao, but the Emperor of Japan, or at least a daimyo who can dominate one side.

After all, Zhu Baba can fight again, hasn't he also given up his plan to attack Kyoto and punish Japan, Japan is likely to be the last bastion of Dayuan.

It's a pity that the Mongol Navy Fira is unbearable, and the Tongliao Empire is destined to be unable to drink the horse Kanagawa, and Sotna's dream can only be a dream.

In fact, Sotna would rather not learn to swim herself.

Because it's all forced.

Wandering on the sea with a log in his arms until he landed on the island of scallops, this is a hellish journey that no one wants to go through.

And now to sneak attack Emperor Zhu Fugui's ship, it is also a desperate and helpless move.

Even, this reminded Sotna of Lin Chongxue's bridge section on Liangshan at night.

"At the same time, the end of the world has fallen into people, even if they have never met, this is also fate. Lin Jiaotou, this bowl of water and wine is a tribute to you! ”

Sitting on the deck, looking at the sky that was gradually reddened by the setting sun, Sotna raised his glass to the air and drank a drink.

Sotna was not dressed in his princely attire, but as a fisherman.

Not only him, but also the Qing soldiers and the Eight Banners on the boat were also wearing fishermen's clothes.

In fact, it can't be said that it is the clothes of fishermen, whether it is a Japanese robber, a maritime merchant who runs the sea, or a Tan people who are not well received, they are basically this kind of clothing.

Sotna wants to deceive and sneak attack the dog emperor Zhu Fugui, no matter whether it succeeds or not, at least the basic homework of the disguised raid must be done.

Otherwise, if you encounter the Tyrant Ming along the way, and even the merchant ships of the southern provinces, if these people are wearing Qing soldier uniforms, aren't they 500,000 walking, waiting to be captured?

"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, a few people have come back to fight in ancient times!"

"Happy!"

Sotena took another drink.

This is by no means a mistake for our prince Suo, let alone a prince who wants to use alcohol to strengthen his courage, but the Mongolian tradition of the steppe eagle spreading its wings and flying and hanging three cups on one wing!

It's a pity that the shallow Japanese slave on the other side doesn't think so.

This time, the commander of the Eight Banners, who was forced to accompany by Sotna, the former Japanese general Tokugawa Yoshiki, sat opposite the wine case at this time, his face like ashes.

After hesitating for a long time, Tokugawa Keiki still opened his mouth to persuade: "Lord Wang, will our plan to attack Osaka this time and take advantage of the night to burn the Tyrant Ming fleet too hasty?" We don't even have a chain plan, a bitter meat plan, and Dongfeng didn't borrow it! ”

"Yaga!"

Sotna stretched out his hand and slapped Tokugawa Keiki in a circle, "Are you teaching King Ben to do things?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Tokugawa Keiki covered his swollen cheeks and said quickly.

"Don't dare, do you think this king doesn't know the importance of the right time and place? Tell you, this king already knows the direction of the wind tonight! 64.4% correct"

Sauter said with a swagger.

As for why he knows so clearly, and there are bits and pieces, it is because he bought the latest copy of the "Daming Royal Meteorological Guide".

In any era, knowledge is power, and knowledge is money.

Zhu Fugui, as a tutor, also has several meteorological students on hand.

With the help of these cheap laborers, as well as a 20 yuan a scientific calculator for middle school students, Daming now has the ability to roughly calculate the meteorological information in the territory.

This primitive weather forecast is very useful for agricultural production and shipping, so it will be updated regularly on the Ming side.

Of course, the accuracy rate is low, and we are not responsible for any deviations.

Seeing that Sotta was so confident, Tokugawa Keiki had no choice but to say truthfully: "I just think that we have a powerful warship like the Wind and Snow, why don't we try to harass the puppet Ming capital and rob the coastal areas head-on?" ”

The Wind and Snow in Tokugawa Keiki's mouth is the battleship they are riding on now.

The name of the battleship "Wind and Snow" is a combination of "kamikaze" and "snowy night".

This was taken by the prince of Suotna himself, in a sense, as the first blessed general of the Qing Dynasty, the prince of Suo does have something.

With a length of 47 meters and a displacement of nearly 750 tons, the Fengxue represents the strongest shipbuilding level north of the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty, and has been guided by Russian shipwrights (referring to sleeping with vodka 90% of the time).

In all fairness, the craftsmanship of the Blizzard is indeed very good, and it can even be said to be a model of the combination of East and West.

If placed in a museum, it is definitely an amazing collection.

Or in the Wanli period, it is enough to become a vital force on the battlefield of the dynasty and the Japanese, at least much more powerful than the famous tortoiseshell ship.

The construction of the Fengxue cost a full 400,000 taels of silver, and used up 23 timbers that were more than 500 years old in the Great Xing'an Mountains, and 7,000 catties of Ming iron sheets.

That's right, my Qing Dynasty is not a food of the ancients, but an open eye to the world.

Now is the era of rampant ironclad ships, and the main warships of our Qing Dynasty are naturally also ironclad.

To put it simply, thanks to the rampant flow of open goods, Sotna sent people to secretly purchase a few tons of Ming iron sheets, erase the logo with sandpaper, and then repaint the imprint of Dongjiang Town.

Then he reported to the imperial court that under the wise leadership of Prince Suo, the skilled craftsmen of Phi Dao finally broke through the technical blockade of the tyranny and produced their own tinplate in the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the eighty or ninety thousand taels of silver that disappeared from the accounts of Dongjiang Town before naturally became the funds for Prince Suo to take the lead in the research and development of ironclad ships.

This is just a microcosm of the construction process of the Buran.

In short, this is based on the Zhangzhou Big Bird Ship in the late Ming Dynasty, and the first "ironclad ship" independently built by the Qing Dynasty with iron sheets wrapped in the bow and flanks was born after magically using up 1/4 of the silver of the Dingyuan ship.

And today's silver is much more valuable than the era of the second ship of Dingzhen.

Therefore, considering the depreciation of silver, the cost of this iron-clad wood-hulled ship is almost equivalent to 1/3 of the Dingyuan ship.

And its tonnage is only 1/10 of Dingyuan.

As for the material and technical level, there is no need to mention.

But it is such a ship, or it is praised to the sky by the Xingzhen series, called the dry city of the country, the artifact of resisting the Ming, and it is a model of the achievements of the new army of our Qing Dynasty.

So now that he is forced by his political enemies to run into Daming, he can't blame others.

But his own family knows his own affairs, especially Tokugawa Yoshiki, who has received first-hand information about the naval battle of Xiaguan under the Ming Dynasty, knows very well that the Daqing Fengxue can't even compare with the iron-ribbed wood-hulled Western ships of the French back then, let alone the ships of the Ming Dynasty.

Even Tokugawa Yoshiki suspected that the two American ironclad gunboats he had ordered from Commander Lincoln back then could fight better than the ships built by the Great Qing Dynasty himself.
