The Ming army built a dock here.

To say that this dock is also simple, just build a wooden building on the shore, hollow out the underground part of the beach on the shore, tamp the bottom of the dock with yellow mud masonry, put a wooden frame, make a dam on the shore, and after the boat comes in, the dam can be closed to death, and the water can be drained out.

The two came to the dock,

At this moment, the dock has also been repaired.

I have to admit that Ming Zheng's shipwrights are really powerful, and many ships were injured when the fleet fled, and these shipwrights were stunned to repair the ships at sea, which stunned Liu Yu.

Seeing King Lu and his entourage coming here, the boatmen saluted one after another.

"Everyone, please get up quickly, Xiao Wang is just here to investigate, no need to be polite." Zhu Honghuan, the king of Lu, hurriedly stepped forward to help a few people up.

"It is our sin to fail to build a good ship and ruin the country's decades of hard work." An old man with gray temples said with sincere fear.

Liu Yu looked at the humble dock and couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

How far can you go in this life?

But he recovered quickly,

Keep your eyes on the dockyard under construction.

These days, the Ming army and the local Han people cut down trees together, and the giant trees within a radius of dozens of miles were all explored by them.

The timber used to make warships is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The defeat of the Zheng Navy's Sailor to Shi Lang's Fujian Sailor also had a certain relationship between the timber controlled by the Zheng Group in the western part of Taiwan and the timber in Zhangzhou, Fujian, and other places, and most of the required cypress wood grew in the internal areas controlled by Shengfan.

"You are my Ming shipwright, and you are the fault of Shi Lang's Fujian sailor Feier."

"I also hope that you will build excellent warships for my Ming, so that I can return to the homeland of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Honghuan's words shocked several old shipwrights present.

The cloudy eyes silently looked at the young man in front of him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if I'll be able to build warships now." Liu Yu was tired of the love between the monarchs and ministers in front of him, and hurriedly asked.

"If you go back to the official's house, don't look at the shabby dock, it's still not a problem to repair and manufacture warships with less than 1,000 materials." An old shipwright replied respectfully.

"Then what if I want to build a three-masted treasure ship of more than 3,000 or even 5,000 materials?" Liu Yu asked again.

"Back to the official's house, I have built a fortune boat of 3,000 materials, it is not difficult, but it is difficult to have more than 3,000 materials, not to mention now, even if it is the surname of the country, it can't be built." Xu Ming shook his head.

He has long passed the sixtieth birthday and has built a ship for Nanming.

Shipbuilding has been built for a lifetime, but I have watched the Ming Dynasty become the Nanming, from the Nanming to the Ming Zheng, and then to the current Ming.

watched the Han people retreat from the thirteen provinces of the Han Dynasty to Jiangnan Yiyi, and then watched the Ming Zheng hanging overseas, and now they are living in Luzon.

He had already been disheartened, if he hadn't been kidnapped by a group of rebels when he threw himself into the sea that night, he would have drunk with the Dragon King at this moment.

"Official, treasure ships need good wood, naturally teak and oak are the best, these hardwood continents are almost non-existent, and there is no one in the west controlled by the national surname in Taiwan."

"Teak is corrosion-resistant, has a good nail grip, and is suitable for face materials, decks and next doors."

"Teak can be used as a board in 30 years, a medium-sized ship keel in 60 years, and a large ship keel in 100 years.

However, if you want to build more than 5,000 materials to compete with the warships of the Francophiles, aggregates such as keel ribs must also be tropical and temperate hardwood, so teak is not good. Xu Ming said fifteen-ten.

"And now?" Liu Yu pointed to the timber cut by the army.

"Back to my lord, it naturally doesn't matter if you build a small boat, but the dock required to build a big ship is not small, and the keel of the hull is very long, and you have to send people to the interior of Luzon to collect giant trees." Xu Mingdao.

Liu Yu smiled wryly,

With that, more than 1,000 people wanted to build a large dockyard and cut down giant trees in the interior of Luzon, which was controlled by the Spaniards.

Either piece is difficult to complete.

alas

Liu Yu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but it was also in common sense.

"Since you can't build a treasure ship, what about the boat?" Zhu Honghuan asked.

Anyway, staying in Luzon for a long time is not a long-term solution, and he doesn't want to have a conflict with the Francois people, so it must be much easier to build some warships with one or two thousand materials to counterattack Taiwan.

After all, there are not many sailors under Shi Lang's command, and there are not many big ships.

"Can you build a clipper like a Langji man?" Liu Yu asked again.

Since it is impossible to make a large ship, then the construction of a ship similar to the Western Navy will have a great chance of winning against the Fujian sailors of Shang Shilang.

"The Yiren ship is fast and sharp, but there are a lot of soft sail materials needed, not to mention the materials used to make the boat, the soft sail can't go against the wind and needs to go eight, and there is a lot of manpower, which is not appropriate." Xu Ming shook his head.

"Oh, is that so?" Liu Yu did not know much about ships, especially the 17th-century wooden sailing ships, and always thought that Western ships would perform better than those used in East Asia.

After all, the Spaniards and the Dutch could often defeat more than ten times their own Ming Dynasty sailors with a few armed Galen ships.

"It is advisable to build ships below 1,000 materials to Guangzhou ships, and it is advisable to build ships with 1,000 materials to ship blessing ships."

"Compared with the Xiyi Clipper, the sails are faster and the guns are more, but the manpower is not as convenient as the Guangzhou Ship, and we don't have the strong sail wood used by the Xiyi Ship." Xu Ming analyzed.

"Okay, then let's build two 500-material ships first." Zhu Honghuan said.

"Lord Wang, the Guangzhou ship can naturally be built, but the wood and iron materials needed for shipbuilding are currently not available in the dock, and shipbuilding also requires a large number of laborers and skilled shipwrights." Xu Mingdao.

"Well, that's it, it's all up to you, and you can raise your own soft sails, or you can buy them when the English people come."

"As for manpower, many of the nearby Han people are fishermen, so they can be sent." Liu Yu hurriedly said.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xu Ming bowed.

On the vast sea, several clippers are quietly swimming on the rough sea.

A flock of seabirds hovered around the fleet, swooping down from time to time, splashing waves of water, and then flashing with silver light, holding a small fish in their mouths, and dancing happily with their wings soaring into the sky.

The king's head is a pirate who roams the seas around here,

There are more than 10 clippers and hundreds of people under his command.

In recent years, due to the Qing court's maritime ban, there have been fewer and fewer Chinese ships sailing by, which has deprived the pirates who made a living from robbery a way to make a fortune for a while.

Wang Shou is just a small leader entrenched in the waters near Luzon, and he usually fights smuggled mainland ships and gives some silver to several major forces nearby, which can be regarded as protection money to a certain extent.

This day passed like this, after all, there was a way to survive.

He didn't dare to put his knife on the heads of those red-nosed foreigners,

After all, the Franc robot and other ships have sharp guns, and even the guns loaded on the merchant ship are much stronger than them.

There have been several forces that are more powerful than them have set their sights on these Xiyi heads, resulting in their destruction.

However, today, the king's head is a little on his back, and no cargo ships have been found passing by.

Occasionally passing by a few fishing boats, Wang Shou naturally didn't want to rob, although he was lucky enough to rob a few copper plates, but what did he spend so much effort on.

"Boss, ship, a merchant ship has been spotted in the southeast direction."
