- A boat traveling in a river is naturally different from a boat swimming proudly in the sea.
The most important manifestation is the tonnage.
¡°There are some small rivers and rivers where you can come and go freely by operating a canoe.
But when it comes to the ocean, it usually has to be a ship of hundreds of tons, or even thousands of tons.
Here we are talking about ancient times.
Of course, it does not mean that the bigger the ship, the better.
??In fact, it still depends on the various functions of the ship.
If you are just transporting goods, then what you care about is safety and speed.
If you are fighting, in addition to the firepower configuration, you also need to pay attention to speed.
If the ship is too big and difficult to move, even if you have excellent firepower configuration, it will be useless if the enemy runs away early.
Besides, there was no steam engine in this era.
According to my opinion, it will take at least thirty years to invent the steam engine.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Before this, if you wanted to rely on human power to row a boat to speed up, you couldn't do it with a boat that was too heavy.
However, if it is used as a frigate for a large ocean-going caravan, and it only has a defensive function, a super-large gunboat is very necessary.
¡° Anyway, I¡¯m not chasing the enemy, I¡¯m just protecting them, so this kind of waiting behavior doesn¡¯t require much speed. As long as my firepower is fierce enough, the pirates don¡¯t dare to approach.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.
When my Dakang fleet goes to bomb coastal ports and towns, it doesn¡¯t need much speed.
Just stock up in front of the port and bombard them all the way.
¡°Anyway, those are fixed buildings and you can¡¯t run away.
So you can see it, right?
Why was the first thing I handed over to Miao Yan this huge four-masted sailboat that had never appeared before?
Its main task is to do trade first.
Anyway, in the offshore areas, there are Dakang's Northern Navy and Southern Navy that can protect the safety, and the caravan itself also has the force to protect itself.
?? If Japanese pirates and pirates want to attack such a large ship, it will be difficult to do so without strong strength.
¡°And on the other hand, those who dare to do maritime business, do you think they are honest old farmers? The kind that doesn't dare to resist even if the blade pierces the heart?
of course not!
They are also very fierce!
In order to protect their goods, they will fight to the death with the pirates.
Among them, the most cunning and cruel merchants, no matter whether you are a pirate or a normal caravan, they will rob you at the first sight. After robbing, they will kill people and sink ships without anyone noticing.
"I can't stop these vicious people, but now that he has taken out this four-masted sailboat, he has protected the relatively weak fleet to a certain extent.
You must know that such a huge four-masted sailing ship has a huge and condescending advantage whether it is a collision or a close fight. Even if you only use long-distance bows and arrows to fight, you can protect yourself as much as possible.
Um¡¡
??Perhaps I can invent a wooden-handled grenade that is not so powerful, but has a certain lethality at the same time?
¡°This way they can use it for self-defense on the ship, and at the same time they don¡¯t have to worry about the wooden handle grenade leaking out, being discovered by the enemy and then being copied, posing a huge threat to us?
good.
??Write this idea down first.
After all, this is related to whether our Dakang caravan dares to actively conduct sea trade on a larger scale and faster frequency.
If you have enough weapons, you will be bolder.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ??
Of course, the weakened version of the wooden handle grenade I gave them will definitely not be too many, otherwise they will sell it to pirates or something, and in turn, more caravans will be ruined.
Therefore, this weapon is actually of little use when encountering a large pirate group. It depends on whether the pirates are willing to risk three to five hundred more casualties than before to rob them by force.
The number of casualties is three to five hundred, and ten times is three to five thousand.
Thinking about it, such a tragic number of casualties can also very well deter the pirates from killing people and stealing goods.
If it is just an intersectionAny defensive force must be defeated.
This is also the reason why I think God favors the land under my feet.
¡°If the Westerners had started the gunboat era and developed it to a large scale, they would have already moved in and started to invade the inland sea territory that belongs to me, Dakang.
You said that the ancient Chinese dynasties in the previous life were basically idiots who did not understand the benefits of the ocean. I wonder how much benefit it would be if we made the entire Southeast Asia our back garden?
wrong.
??A lot of people actually know.
But the problem is that the transportation conditions in ancient times were too crude. It often took three months or half a year to travel to these places, and you still had to go by boat. How much energy do you think they had to manage?
As long as there is chaos in the Central Plains, it won't be long before these places begin to rebel and become independent.
So you spent a lot of money and worked hard to build a place, but who got the advantage in the end?
It¡¯s better not to bother!
Guarding my Central Plains land, what do you want?
??In fact, this is not only true at sea, but also on land.
Every province in our country¡¯s frontiers, one by one, is often ignored by the emperor and ministers of the dynasty. They feel that it is chaotic and poor, and there is no benefit at all. A lot of manpower and material resources have to be spent to maintain it, and the gain outweighs the loss.
??Including territories such as Vietnam and Myanmar that were gained and lost several times, but were finally abandoned like this.
If there had been fast-moving rubber carriages and convenient transportation conditions in that era, the situation would probably have been different!
So, from this point of view, not only for the great voyage, but also for the territory on land, my steam engine road must be started quickly!
Of course, all plans are just the beginning. If you really want to complete the plan, you still need hard and outstanding efforts.
As an engineering dog, I certainly have the determination and motivation to endure lonely experiments and inventions, and I will not let you down.
¡¡
Okay, I¡¯ve said so much nonsense, let¡¯s just stop writing.
I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m writing, it just seems like I¡¯m writing wherever I think.
I will seal this five-year plan and write a more streamlined version at that time. The description of some things related to the future will not appear in everyone's eyes.
¡°Perhaps when this document is declassified decades or hundreds of years later, they will know why I am so omniscient.
Because I know everything myself.
