Chapter 206 Land Reform Pilot in Southern Liaoning

Chapter 205

The naval battle at this time is like a megalodon facing a dozen whales. Seeing that it is one against many, it will be very dangerous. However, every time the megalodon opens its bloody mouth, it will definitely bite.

The whale is dripping with blood.

This is the case with this new warship of the Ning Navy. Although it does not have many guns, it has only twenty-four guns in total, including eight guns on the left and right sides, four guns on the front main deck, and two guns on the second deck.

There are two guns, and there are two guns on the rear deck of the ship. Compared with the Europa battleship, which has dozens of guns at every turn, it is simply inferior.

However, even for such an inferior battleship, the firepower is extremely fierce, and the rate of fire of the artillery is also extremely fast. There is no way that this is the rate of fire of the breech-mounted artillery. Of course, the Europa battleship will also be equipped with some Franchise breech-mounted guns.

Cannons are used for close range bombardment.

The rate of fire of the Folang machine is also very fast. If equipped with enough sub-cannons, at least in the artillery sequence of the Ning Navy, it can fire thirteen shells in almost one minute. This speed will not be matched by the artillery armies of later generations.

Nothing, but in this era, the rate of fire is a bit scary.

"Bagayalu, isn't it that the navy of Ming Dynasty has been crippled and can't even defeat pirates? What's going on with this warship?"

Morimoto grabbed a guy dressed as a Han next to him and asked in a roar: "Why did you lie to me!"

"I...I don't know...I..."

Before he could finish his explanation, Morimoto Ichibo couldn't bear it anymore and quickly drew out his samurai sword and slashed horizontally. The Han man's head somersaulted like a balloon and floated out, bringing with it a rain of blood: "You

My conscience is very... broken!"

Although they were retreating quickly, Morimoto Ikku seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. They still had thirteen black-tailed boats at this time. It can be said that they still have strength, but what can they do if they still have strength? On the southern sea, there is Zheng Zhilong's

They cannot rob the territory.

Otherwise, those who bought Zheng Zhilong's protection money will settle accounts with Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong will not offend those small businessmen, but these days, there are no small businessmen who dare to be maritime merchants. They all have huge abilities and backgrounds behind them.

Zheng Zhilong cannot afford to offend such a person.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's only way is to kill anyone who dares to cause trouble on his territory, just like Liu Xiang. You must know that Liu Xiang is one of the eighteen maritime merchant groups and owns more than 600 ships, including

There were more than 20,000 sailors and pirates. He was also forced to jump into the sea by Zheng Zhilong.

At that time, Yang Tiansheng, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Zhong Bin, and Li Kuiqi, one of the Eighteen Zhizhi, were captured alive by Zheng Zhilong, and Liu Xiang was forced to commit suicide. Now the other members of the Eighteen Zhizhi, except He Bin and Guo Huaiyi, have defected to the Netherlands.

Except for the people, everyone else has taken refuge with Zheng Zhilong. Now Zheng Zhilong is quite powerful, with 200,000 troops on land and sea, which is more than Ning Haijun.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong can't fight on land, but it is more than enough to dominate Nanyang. There is no way to survive in Nanyang. However, now that the Ming Dynasty has the Ning Navy in the north, it is hopeless that it can no longer plunder the coast like during the Jiajing period, and for

To buy this shabby fleet, he even smashed the coffin into it, owed a lot of debt, and fled back empty-handed. The creditor still won't eat them?

At this time, Li Zhixiang was no longer fighting alone. As a sea trial of a new ship, it was naturally impossible for a single ship to go to sea. He was actually followed by more than 30 gunboats. The speed of these gunboats was too slow to keep up.

As the new ship engaged in a fierce artillery battle with the pirates, these small gunboats with 400 materials followed. Morimoto looked at the more than 30 gunboats chasing after him for a long time. Although the distance was too far, he could not see clearly.

The true size of these gunboats made him feel lucky that he survived and escaped quickly this time, otherwise he would have been in big trouble.

At this moment, Ning Haijun's battleship hit the fifth shell, which hit a gunboat called "Mayun", which was a Karasuo ship directly under Kato Kashige.

Katoshige Kato was lucky. The shot did not hit the deck. Instead, the undulating waves caused the trajectory of the shot in the chamber to change. The shot actually flew over the "Mayun" and was within a short distance.

There was an explosion about five feet above the deck, or nearly one-third of the main mast.

The violent explosion broke the main mast of the Mayun and lost two-thirds of the mast, which meant that the Mayun almost lost its forward kinetic energy. If it were normal, the impact would not be big. They still have spare masts on the ship.

The worst case scenario is to install it.

Now, they don't have any chance.

Kato was once again driven into a panic. He refused the retainer's offer to escape in a lifeboat, but instead ordered: "Fight back to the death!"

Because they knew they couldn't escape, if Europa's warships, they would raise the white flag and surrender, but the problem is that Xiaori is not in the habit of surrendering easily. You must know that after Xiaori surrendered to his opponent, he brutally killed prisoners of war and captives, so he used his own

They believe that as long as they surrender, the end will be extremely miserable.

"Sideways!"

As the main rudder of the Mayun began to turn, the Mayun aimed its broadside at the Ning Haijun's new ship, and the ten broadside guns on the Wuwei ship were aimed at the Ning Haijun's new ship.

"Five hundred meters!"

"Three hundred meters"

The Mayun sent the most threatening blow to the Ning Navy warship, firing a salvo of ten artillery pieces. It was a pity that the pirates these days fired not solid shells, but grape bullets.

Grape bullets use net bags to bundle loose ammunition into a bunch, which looks like a bunch of grapes, hence the name grape bullets. Although the range is not as good as that of solid bullets, a shot fired at close range can knock down dozens of enemy soldiers in an instant. In naval battles

It can knock down large areas of enemy officers and sailors to paralyze enemy ships.

In these small days, pirates aimed to capture merchant ships and did not have time to change their bombs. In naval battles, the correct use of grape bombs is to use grape bombs to paralyze the sailors and soldiers on the enemy warships before jumping gangs.

Hundreds of small grapeshot bullets were like shotguns, setting off a wild flight on Ning Haijun's new ship, making the sails snap and cut out many holes. Ning on the deck

Seven navy sailors were killed directly in action, and dozens were injured...

This shot only caused so much damage to the new Ning Haijun ship. This shot made Li Zhixiang and the sailors and soldiers on the new ship furious.

The six three-inch guns on the bow of the ship fired a salvo, and the six shells opened fire at a distance of about 250 meters from the Mayun. This time the Mayun was unlucky enough to reach grandma's house, and four of the shells hit directly.

Four huge orange-red fireballs soared into the sky on the Mayun.

The shock waves of four huge shells tore the entire black-tailed ship apart. As large bursts of flames and explosions sounded, the Mayun disappeared directly from the sea. The four exploding shells plus the gunpowder on the Mayun made it complete.

Like a volcano erupting.

The Mayun exploded and sank. One of the samurai swords was blown by the shock wave to Ning Haijun's new ship. Coincidentally, the sword hit the bow gun on the second deck like shrapnel, causing heavy damage to the gun barrel. Although

The cannon left a gap about two inches long and three minutes deep.

Li Zhixiang ordered the artillery not to fire. If the artillery was hit hard and exploded, it would be great fun.

The shipbuilding technicians on this new ship recorded: "Never fire within 250 meters, as it may cause accidental damage!"

With the sinking of the five small warships, the morale of Ning Haijun's soldiers was greatly boosted: "Master Li, this gun is so useful!"

"Do you still need to tell me?"

"Should we apply to Cheng Shuai to replace all naval guns with this kind of breech-loading smoothbore cannon?"

"it is necessary!"

Li Zhixiang said: "We should also equip some squatting tiger cannons!"

"Why equip that thing? It can't hit very far. Infantrymen don't even care about this kind of cannon!"

"Just because the infantry is not rare does not mean that we are useless. If we do it within a range of more than 200 meters, it will be enough for the pirates to drink a pot of this guy!"

Li Zhixiang was also very helpless, because the ten shotgun shells of the Ma Yun cannon caused some damage to the sails of the new ship. More importantly, they were not going to sea for combat, but for sea trials. The cannonballs on the battleship had already

Almost exhausted, as the pirates scattered in all directions, they could only retreat with hatred.

However, the naval gunboats of the Ning Navy arrived later and began to salvage the drowned samurai. Not to mention that there were quite a lot of samurai these days. After half an hour of salvage, more than 400 drowned samurai were rescued and boarded the ship.

.

Among them is Kuuki Hirotaka, one of Kato's sixteen generals. Kuuki Hirotaka participated in the Korean War with Kato Kiyomasa, and during the war, he participated in the Battle of Ulsan Bay. The 19-year-old Kuuki Hirotaka escorted Kato Kiyomasa.

He broke through the Ming army's blockade and forced his way into Daoshan City, achieving great success.

Now fifty-three years old, Kuuki Hirotaka has a hot temper. The first moment he was rescued on the boat, he shouted: "I am Kuuki Hirotaka. Who dares to fight with me!"

No one in Ning Haijun's navy can understand Xiaoli, but even though the language is not fluent, Jiuki Guangtong's arrogant look and chirping ghost screams, you don't need to think with your head, think with your knees, you know that he has no good words in his mouth

.

Ning Haijun's soldier was very angry. Without saying a word, he took a crossbow or a musket and fired at Kuuki Guitaka in a flurry.

Immediately there was a sieve on the deck. Yes, he had turned into a sieve.

When Li Zhixiang returned to Port Arthur, he learned that Cheng Shijie was looking for him. He and Shen Shikui hurried to Jinzhou.

We also sent this battleship and the sea trial report of the new ship. The sea trial of the new ship was very effective. This new ship was unanimously approved by the officers and soldiers of the Ninghai Navy.

Thanks to the results of this naval battle, this new ship was named: "Sea Shark Class".

Cheng Shijie ordered the Lushun Shipyard to build the first batch of eight Sea Shark-class ships. It was not that he did not have the strength to build more, but the artillery could not keep up.

The production speed of breech-mounted smoothbore guns was not fast. It is necessary to know that a Sea Shark-class battleship needs to be equipped with 192 guns. It is also necessary to know that the artillery of the Ning Navy also needs a large number of artillery. A dispute between sea and land inevitably arises.

After arranging the production tasks, Cheng Shijie noticed that the problem he wanted to solve had already been solved.

"You mean these five ships were built by pirates in the early days?"

"That's right, we captured more than four hundred little pirates!"

Cheng Shijie frowned and said, "Why did you capture these little dwarfs?"

"Commander, this is what I think. These little dwarfs have been making a living at sea for a long time and are proficient in naval warfare. They should be recruited here..."

Cheng Shijie didn't have a good impression of the pirates in his childhood. He said directly: "You are not afraid of them..."

"They are not five feet tall, what are you afraid of them for?"
