Three warships, which were considered absolutely giant ships in this era, slowly sailed into the water transport terminal. It can be said that these three warships already occupied about half of the waterway, leaving the nearby Ming people stunned.
Everyone is curious, where did these three giant ships come from?
Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there is no such warship in the navy.
As for the surrounding vassal states that is even more impossible.
If the surrounding vassal countries had such warships, then the Ming Dynasty would have known about it early on.
¡°And given the character of the surrounding vassal states, if they had such warships, they wouldn¡¯t be able to show them off.
The flags on these three giant ships are also a bit confusing, and everyone can¡¯t figure out where the flags are.
After all, in this era, flags can also reveal a lot of useful information.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
I don¡¯t know where this giant ship came from, but it is so big.
Thinking about it, this kind of ship will never be used on inland waterways, but is used to sail on the sea.
Some people on the shore saw a little bit of the secret, and showed off to the people around them.
However, if you ask him to talk in more detail, then this person will not be able to tell.
The ships docked at the water transport terminal are basically flat-bottomed boats.
This type of ship is mainly used to sail in relatively stable inland waterways. On the other hand, the giant battleships of the Song Empire used a triangular bottom, because such a bottom can effectively move forward quickly at sea and can withstand some wind and waves. Effect.
But the punt won¡¯t work.
"Look at those densely packed windows on both sides of the ship. What are they?"
Some people noticed the muzzle of the cannon that had been put down on the partition, and raised their fingers to point and ask the people around them.
In fact, none of the people on the shore knew what it was.
After all, the warships used by the Ming Dynasty Navy in this era were still large-scale ships and warships equipped with trebuchets. If you want a warship with cannons, you basically have to wait until Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong is born.
Of course, this does not mean that the warships of the North Korean Navy do not have artillery.
However, the two cannons on the flagship that are just for decoration are not of much use in naval battles.
Therefore, the time to really show the power of artillery in naval battles comes when Zheng Chenggong seizes Taiwan.
At this time, Zheng Chenggong was nowhere to be seen.
And Yangzhou is not located on the coast, but is an inland city.
¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there was a big river leading directly to the East China Sea, then they would not have been able to see such a giant ship like the Song Empire¡¯s.
The warship of the Song Empire docked and the landing board was lowered.
Zhao Hongyu did not disembark, but instead appointed a steward to take several soldiers off the flagship.
Since we have arrived in Ming Dynasty, we must show off our style.
¡°If you land like a loser like this, wouldn¡¯t you be looked down upon by others?
???????????????????????? If you are really underestimated, then who knows what will happen next will become a little troublesome.
At this time, not far from the water transport terminal, a group of knights wearing Ming Yuanyang battle coats appeared on horseback.
These knights came straight towards the water transport terminal, and pedestrians avoided them all the way for fear of getting into trouble.
"Damn it, these three warships with strange origins sailed directly from the east sea into the inland waterway without even saying hello along the way. Do you think our road yamen are all vegetarians?"
An officer at the head of these knights cursed in his heart as he looked at the slowly approaching dock.
It turns out that Zhao Hongyu and the others sailed from the direction of Chongming Island in Shanghai in later generations, and sailed directly into the inland waterway without ever landing at all.
"However, these three charming warships are like fireflies under the bright moon, they are so bright and outstanding, how could they not arouse everyone's thoughts.
As a foreign ship, even in the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century, you had to talk to the maritime affairs office.
Otherwise, do people know what you are here to do?
What if it¡¯s an enemy!
Zhao Hongyu happened to forget this matter, and the people around him happened to forget to remind him.Therefore, in the end, the Maritime Affairs Office notified the garrison stationed nearby, and the garrison sent troops to chase him down.
And the hundred households in the guardhouse who accepted this task felt depressed along the way.
You know, it¡¯s almost the Spring Festival.
Originally, everyone was staying at home to prepare for the holidays at this time.
If it hadn¡¯t been for the appearance of these three giant ships, he would have been lying warmly at home drinking wine. How beautiful it would be.
How could it be like this now? Not only was there a lot of dust and wind along the way, but I also had a lot of cold wind.
It¡¯s winter, and the weather outside is not warm.
No one has to talk about this.
This team of cavalry chasing Zhao Hongyu and his companions totaled thirty-six people and belonged to the Chongming County Guards Station on Shanghai Road.
The name of the officer leading the group is Fu Danian, and he is already over forty years old.
¡°At his age, he is considered an elderly person in this era.
"Head! Those giant ships have docked!"
After galloping for a while, Fu Danian¡¯s pro-military guards looked at the direction of the dock, and then shouted at Fu Danian.
"Damn, the Chinese New Year doesn't let people live in peace, little ones, please hurry up. We have to talk to these people in the past, no, if they are not hard-core, I will definitely have to squeeze a lot of oil out of them. That¡¯s it.¡±
"What Baihu is saying is that the Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Who knew that something like this would happen? Everyone feels uncomfortable. It's so cold today. Who doesn't want to hug his mother-in-law at home? I¡¯m drinking some wine to feel warm.¡±
Fu Danian¡¯s words immediately aroused the echo of his subordinates.
In fact, that¡¯s all Fu Danian said.
He but his subordinates thought differently.
The reason why he said this was just to cheer up everyone.
Anyone who is not mentally retarded should know that if someone can own such a huge ship, how can his status be inferior?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Fu Danian had already thought about it along the way.
After meeting the captain, it was just a routine matter.
When the time comes, I can just go back and do business.
There is no need to have a tense relationship with the owner of the giant ship.
¡°I am just one hundred households in a health center. There are many people like me in the Ming Dynasty.
There is no problem in bullying the common people, but once he confronts a small landowner with some skills, he will suffer a loss.
Of course, if the owners of these three giant ships really have no backers, or have a poor background it will be difficult to say.
However, it is obvious that such a thing is unlikely, and the probability is really slim.
Fu Danian doesn¡¯t think his life is so good.
Just by looking at the appearance of these three giant ships, you can tell that if these ships are built, it will definitely cost a lot of money.
How could a person with such financial resources have no status?
??This is something you know even if you think about it with your butt.
It can¡¯t be the powerful boss in the south, or the ship of the Navy Chief.
Otherwise it is the ship of the noble family in Nanjing.
In short, let¡¯s test it out after you go there, and then talk about other things.
"Everyone, get out of the way!"
In the blink of an eye, Fu Danian brought his cavalry to the water transport terminal. They drove away the dock workers who were watching the excitement nearby, but their tone was much more polite to the businessmen.
After all, Yangzhou is very close to Nanjing. Who knows who has the background of Nanjing nobles behind these businessmen.
This is not something that a small guard house like him can blame on hundreds of households.
So, it¡¯s okay to be cruel to the common people, but let¡¯s forget about these businessmen.
Well!
Hanging here is a big red flag with five yellow patterns on it.
After reining in his horse, Fu Danian first looked at the flag fluttering on the pole of the Sea King. Fu Danian first looked to see if there was anything he could tell.
After seeing the flag, Fu Danian was confused.
¡°It seems that no one among the civil and military nobles of this dynasty has ever raised such a flag.
Could it be that I am ignorant?
Fu Danian was filled with doubts.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The horse snorted and blew out bursts of white mist.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
After stabilizing the horse, Fu Danian turned over and dismounted.
"You guys are here to block the people around you and don't let them get close to these giant ships. The rest of you can go with me to meet the owner of this ship. We must know their whereabouts, otherwise it will be very difficult to go back. Not bad at all.¡±
We couldn¡¯t tell what the other party¡¯s background was, so Fu Danian could only negotiate with the people on the boat.
Following Fu Danian's instructions, the sergeants he brought sat on their horses and controlled the battles on their crotches to establish a small circle, blocking out the people who were watching the excitement.
Fu Danian himself took a few of his personal guards and five or six soldiers to the flagship where the landing board had been put down.
At this time, Zhao Hongyu had already appointed a clerk to go ashore fifteen minutes ago to deliver his credentials to the Yangzhou Prefecture¡¯s Yamen.
Anyway, he was idle, so he stood on the deck and kept looking at the scenery near the water transport terminal.
Looking around, you can see that they are basically buildings with blue bricks, black tiles and white walls. The two-story buildings are very conspicuous in this era.
The tallest building in the distance seems to be a Buddhist temple, five stories high.
Compared with the surrounding one-story buildings, the pagoda seems to stand out from the crowd.
Hey!
This is the style of Ming Dynasty. Everything you see here is purely natural, and even these buildings are not antique.
Zhao Hongyu had a drunken look in his eyes.
"Your Highness, a member of the Chongming Guards Station has come ashore, saying he wants to see you?"
At this moment, a Chinese adjutant came over and reported to Zhao Hongyu in a low voice. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
