Wang Hongyu received a detailed report on the Battle of Malacca.

The battle report has a total of 4 angles: Cai Fuyi, Shennongjun, Liu Xiang and the Portuguese. The four battle reports corroborate each other, and highly restore the real situation before and after the entire battle.

"Okay. If we can get real information, we can summarize useful experiences and make timely adjustments and layouts."

He flipped through the four battle reports, and after summing them up, he played them to the apocalypse while starting to make adjustments and improvements.

"Even the newer ships, built with Portuguese and missionary drawings, were slightly inferior to the Dutch Galen......

The battle report clearly states that the Karak battleship, as the flagship and capital ship, although it is not inferior or slightly superior to the Galen battleship in length, height and number of guns, is slightly less flexible and has some problems with the strength of the hull.

Well...... Ace Duck's Armada is dominated by the Karak battleship, and it has fought England and the Netherlands too many times.

Karak had an advantage in melee and string combat, and the artillery battle was slightly inferior to that of the Galen battleship.

He thought about it, and in the future, the Karak battleship would be suitable for dealing with navies outside Europe, and would be able to give full play to its great advantages in towering and close combat.

In the battle against Europe, it is necessary to use warships that are more suitable for artillery battles.

Then, the Caravel Clipper was very fast and popular with sailors in the new warships, but it had only one deck and was inferior in strength, height, and number of guns to Galen.

Wang Hongyu also likes the Caravel Clippers, after all, it is fast across several oceans.

It's really not strong.

In the future, this ship can be used for reconnaissance and liaison, and the decisive battle of the fleet will be forgotten.

Then the battle report detailed the situation of the largest number of Fuku, Guang and Sand ships.

The Fu ship has a huge cargo volume, and it is very good to have a watertight cabin to carry the sinking, and it is very powerful to transport troops to land and fight the Japanese invaders. However, although the ship is large and uses small hard sails, the heavy Hongyi cannons can only be placed on the first deck, and the cabin is not load-bearing, so it can only be dominated by light guns.

The Canton ship is basically the same as the Fu ship, but it is smaller and has fewer guns, and the speed is not even faster.

The sand ship was vulnerable, the cabin could not be loaded with guns, and the deck could only be equipped with light guns.

In this naval battle, the Hongyi cannon and the big son and mother cannon made great contributions. Other types of light artillery can be said to be useless against the Netherlands, but they have played a role in fighting the Japanese state.

"After all, the heavy guns of Fuchuan and Guangchuan can only be used as a temporary response, and they cannot be the main force in ocean-going naval warfare."

Wang Hongyu repositioned them.

Fufune and Guangfune were mainly used for merchant ships, and could be used as armed merchant ships against pirates or pirates.

Sand boats are more offshore and river vessels, so it is better not to get involved in naval battles.

As for the Centipede ship that uses a large number of pulpers, it really can't fit a few cannons, and the combat effect is not mentioned, but it is indeed more flexible and has a certain special use.

It can be used as an embellishment and supplement in the future.

The summary of the naval battle is very detailed, which provides a realistic basis for Wang Hongyu's positioning.

The land war also gave a lot of positive feedback.

The flintlock pistol was very useful in land warfare, and even the Dutch people were clinging to it, and the bayonet was the key to victory. But it was suppressed by the heavy artillery of the enemy's fleet, and even Zhou Qiang was sacrificed.

Wei Zhongxian and Zhou Yijie will implement the posthumous and bereavement of Zhou Qiang and a group of soldiers.

Anti-shelling training will be a necessary training content in the future.

In the follow-up battle of the Kingdom of Johor, basically the Ming army had a great advantage, but there was not much feedback in terms of weapons and equipment.

Wang Hongyu is sure of one thing, that is, naval warfare and land warfare will go through different technology trees.

The artillery of the land war should be light, supplemented by the main and heavy artillery, and the equipment of the infantry is also light flintlock muskets and bayonets are gradually important, and heavy armor pikes or combat infantry are supplemented.

The technology tree of land warfare should follow the development route of quantity and lightness.

Naval battles are diametrically opposed.

It is necessary to have a huge ship with heavy artillery, and a huge ship with heavy artillery to carry it, and a giant ship needs heavy artillery to play its role.

The problem of artillery can be solved.

The casting technology of the Ming Dynasty itself is no worse than that of the West, such as iron core copper body, mud film iron casting,

The technology of the lost wax casting cannon is more advanced, the technology is okay but the science is backward, there are excellent craftsmen, and there is a lack of excellent artillery scholars.

What's more, Western artillery scholars and artillery craftsmen are often in the same workshop, and they are not particularly separated from each other. The identities of craftsmen and scholars in the East are very different, and there was too little intersection between the two before the late Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, as soon as Wang Hongyu had the opportunity to set up a base area, he set out to solve the matter.

There are not only skilled craftsmen in the construction of the military tun, but also a group of old-style scholars who have attracted it, as well as new-style talents who can both practice and understand science cultivated by the Southwest United School.

Bi Maokang and Li Tiezhu became representatives of scholars and craftsmen, and a large number of other talents gathered in military workshops in Yunyang, Chongqing, Guangzhou, and Tianjin.

More than 300 high-quality Hongyi cannons are mass-produced every year, and the supporting solid bullets and flowering bullets can be manufactured in four places.

Coupled with the Ordnance Bureau in Beijing and the Bugarao Cannon Foundry in Macau, Huaxia is fully capable of manufacturing 500 Hongyi cannons per year. Others, such as general cannons, sub-mother cannons of various sizes, tiger squat cannons, etc., are more numerous.

500 Hongyi cannons are enough to arm a fleet of 20 new warships.

When used in land warfare, it can destroy all fortified cities.

The artillery is steadily developing, and the giant ships have to catch up quickly.

The glory of Zheng He's treasure ship was no longer there, and the drawings were burned clean by Liu Daxia and other civil officials, specifically preventing Daming from looking at the sea again.

Under the guidance of Wang Hongyu, Zhu Youxiao also worked hard, withstood the constraints of civil officials and the pressure of public opinion, and fully supported Wang Hongyu's reform.

This time, not only the Yuegang port in Fujian and the neighboring ports such as Xiamen, but also the ports of Tianjin, Guangzhou, and Ningbo have also set up shipping trade departments and set up special customs and officials.

One-third of the personnel of the port customs are famous officials and loyal maritime merchants, one-third are retired and wounded generals, and one-third are appointed as new talents trained by various schools under the Southwest United School.

This three-three system just strikes a balance.

With a commercial port, there were enough financial resources and personnel to build a new military port and dockyard.

Wang Hongyu directly planned to build a dry dock.

It was decided to first build dry docks in Guangzhou and Tianjin for the construction of extra-large new warships.

The dry dock is connected to land on three sides and faces the water on one side, and its basic components are the dock mouth, dock chamber and dock head.

The dock is used for entering and exiting the ship, and is equipped with a water retaining dock door, and the drainage and irrigation equipment of the dock is often built in the dock piers on both sides of the dock mouth.

The dock is used for placing the ship, and the keel pier and side pier supporting the ship are arranged on the bottom plate of the dock.

The dock head is the opposite end of the dock mouth, and its plane shape can be rectangular, semicircular and diamond-shaped, and the space of the dock head is part of the dock chamber, where the propeller and tail shaft are disassembled and assembled.

In modern dry docking, the boat is drained with a water pump after entering the dock. Before the invention of the pump, the dock could not drain the water, so the boat had to be pulled from the water to the dock by a slender man. When the ship returned to the sea, there was a slope in the dock on land, from which the boat, with the assistance of the slender man, slid into the water.

At the beginning of the famous Les Misérables, Valjean did this job of pulling boats as a prisoner.

Francha, England and other countries will master dry dock technology within a few decades, and Wang Hongyu is the first to take the lead this time.
