Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 381 The Turtle Ship

Zhang Dingguo originally had some complaints, but now he heard that the group leader seemed to care about him, he felt a little better, and carefully looked at the displayed handwriting.

"If you are in Hong Chengchou's army, you can find Lu Ruipeng, a soldier in Dongchang; if you are in the Baigan army, you can find general Zhang Fengyi, and her husband is Ma Xianglin." After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he thought for a while and added, " I asked them both to say hello to you, they are both in the group."

Zhang Dingguo was very surprised. He didn't expect that among the people who were chasing the rebels, there were actually two people in the chat group.For some reason, when he thought of this, he suddenly felt a little cordial.

After a while, I saw Lu Ruipeng talking about him in private: "Little brother, listen to the leader of the group, if you have anything to do, just come to me and say that it is my distant cousin!"

Just finished the private chat here, and Zhang Fengyi's private chat was thrown over: "If you can leave the thief, it's best to leave as soon as possible. Sister, how about I send you to study?"

Zhang Dingguo just watched the two private chats, and there was no movement or reply for a long time.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about his affairs anymore, because Gao Yingyuan had just chatted with him in private and reported that there were reinforcements from Jianlu.However, the Jianlu who came this time were not all elites. There were many ethnic minorities in Liaodong, and not all of them were young and strong.

It seems that Jianlu's troops in the hinterland of Liaodong should have been transferred to the same extent, right?Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart, first sent a letter to Liu Wang, asking him to tell Sun Chengzong, saying that Mang Gurtai's army had assembled nearly 2 people, and asked the front to pay attention to Jianlu's movements.

After talking about this, Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts turned to the Korean Peninsula, and he didn't know where the main force of Jianlu was?If the main force of Jianlu is besieging Nanhan Mountain City, then Lu Xiangsheng can set off.

When he was thinking about the situation in North Korea, far away on Phi Island, although the cold wind made the flags flutter, many people gathered in a simple dock not far from the pier.Among them, there is Xu Fuzuo, who is actually in power in Phi Island, Chen Jisheng, the lieutenant with the highest official rank in Phi Island, and people from the North Korean Navy.They were all very interested, looking at the bow boat in the dock that was about to be launched.

In front of them was Li Zhiqi, the great thief who once roamed the sea.He pointed at the ship with a proud face, and said loudly: "The conditions here are simple, but the warship I remodeled is invincible in this sea area!"

Everyone saw that the outside of the boat had been modified by him to have four layers of protection.They are broken nets, rawhide, and wet quilts, and water urns are hung for another week.

Li Zhiqi proudly introduced: "This ship of mine can't enter with guns, can't be burned with fire, and is already invincible in sea battles. Moreover, this ship is tall, condescending against enemy ships, and has obvious advantages. To tell you the truth, this is One of my assets across the sea!"

What he said was right, on the southeast coast of Daming, he and Zheng Zhilong were the only ones fighting for hegemony.Relying on this kind of big black boat, he has repeatedly beaten Zheng Zhilong.In the last battle, it was Zheng Zhilong who first poached his general Zhong Bin, took away a large number of ships, and then united with the Dutch in Taiwan to completely defeat him.

But hearing what he said, Li Jinlei, the general of the North Korean navy, was a little unconvinced. He could speak Chinese, so he said loudly to Li Zhiqi: "I also have a ship in North Korea, called the Turtle Ship. Back then, I fought against the Japanese pirates and showed great glory. .Compared to the bow in front of me, hehe..."

Although it wasn't stated explicitly, the implication was obvious, which meant that the big black boat was not as powerful as the turtle-shell boat.It was only because Li Zhiqi was the commander of the navy of the Kingdom of Heaven that he didn't say it outright.

When Li Zhiqi heard it, he immediately looked over at him, but said with disdain in his eyes: "You think I've never heard of a turtle ship?"

The other generals of the Ming army who were on the sidelines seemed to be watching the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. They immediately booed and asked them to compare and decide the winner.The reason for this is that one side is Korean, and the other side is a pirate. They did not agree with the navy commander in their hearts.

When Li Zhiqi heard it, he immediately got excited, waved his hand, told them to keep their voices down, and then looked at Li Jinlei and asked loudly: "Okay, then let you tell yourself, you have a turtle ship, how many big bows can you exchange for me?" Black boat?"

Li Jinlei didn't expect him to ask such a question, and suddenly it was a bit difficult to answer.If there were too few answers, the Turtle Ship would not be considered powerful, but if there were too many answers, what would be the face of the generals of Shangguo?He hesitated for a moment, then estimated: "Should be able to win the two bows!"

When Chen Jisheng heard it, he couldn't help shouting: "Oh, the turtle ship hits two, it's amazing!"

Xu Fuzuo and the others laughed out loud after hearing this, just in the mood of watching the excitement.

Li Zhiqi is supposed to be annoyed when people say that the big black boat can't beat the turtle boat, and the ratio is two to one.But the fact is completely opposite, he did not care about it at all, and after the laughter of those onlookers subsided, he said to Li Jinlei: "Well, I ask you, how much does it cost you to build a turtle ship? How long will it take to build it? Can you estimate the cost of Lao Tzu's big black boat, and how long will it take to build it?"

"..." Li Jinlei was dumbfounded when he heard it. He didn't expect Li Zhiqi to compare these two aspects.Needless to say, the tortoise boat is definitely no match for the big black boat!
Seeing that he couldn't speak, Li Zhiqi went on to say: "Besides, as for your kind of turtle-shell boat, it's okay to deal with Japanese arquebus boats, but if you go to my Daming for a stroll, you will definitely not be able to meet them. Just this big crow Ships, not to mention Hongyi cannons, just general cannons. Tell me, can a turtle ship withstand the bombardment of artillery?"

One of the main attack methods of the turtle ship is to ram and sink the enemy's ship.But if it is that close, the large-caliber artillery can hit it without aiming.Just a bomb at such a close range, it's weird if nothing happens!

Who knows that this is not over yet, so I heard Li Zhiqi continue to say: "Also, when fighting at sea, whoever finds the enemy first and attacks first will have the advantage. Your turtle ship has a turtle back, is it convenient for observation?"

Although some words were not well understood, Chen Jisheng and the others could understand them to some extent. It seemed that the turtle ship actually had a lot of problems.

"Also, how much supplies can the turtle ship carry? How long can it stay at sea?" After Li Zhiqi finished speaking, he snorted, completely ignoring Li Jinlei who was there stupidly.Looking at his refitted big black boat, he shouted loudly and commanded over there.

As one of the few people who make a living at sea, he certainly knows about ships at sea.He also knew about the turtle ship that North Korea thought was very powerful, but he didn't build it.It is because the turtle ship was good against the warships of the Japanese pirates back then, but it was completely useless for Daming.

It is also because of this that North Korea's turtle ships were no longer used after the Luliang naval battle, and were finally eliminated.

　Thank you Boring Passenger 08 for your tip!
　　PS: The turtle ships of later generations are more likely to be built by the Koreans on an elevated foundation. The actual turtle ships are not that powerful, at least the Japanese have never recognized them.
