Chapter 207 Pool Test
Chapter 207 Pool Test
"The battleship Chongzhen, what a name!" Yuan Jixian said, getting up to leave.
Li Cunming said: "Yuan Aiqing, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Yuan Jixian smiled and said: "I have always been like this. When I have something to do, I have to implement it immediately. The ship conceived by Your Majesty is very good. I want to call the craftsmen to build it immediately. I am old, and I have to hurry up in everything, otherwise it will be too late. Leave regrets!"
The construction process of ancient wooden boats is extremely complicated. There are many steps from material selection, drying, design, construction, and drying. It is normal to build a boat for several years, and it costs a lot. A tree trunk with a certain curvature.
Yuan Jixian was anxious and understandable.
Li Cunming smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, I still have something to say. Let me ask you how to deal with the wood for making ships. Are there enough craftsmen?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the wood will be transported from the mountainous areas of Jiangxi and Hunan first, which can temporarily meet the current demand. Of course, the wood produced in Yunnan and Guizhou is the best, but the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so we can only talk about it later. As for the shipbuilders, barely Enough."
Li Cunming said: "The matter of timber must be implemented as soon as possible. If we don't do it, we will do it. If we do, we will do our best. I am not making small troubles, but want to establish the largest and best shipyard in the world! In this way Well, you write a letter to negotiate with Duke Qian, and find a way to transport the timber from the Yunnan-Guizhou area."
"The minister obeys the order!"
Li Cunming said again: "Yuan Aiqing, have you heard of the pool test?"
"No, please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
"The pool test is to first manufacture a ship model according to a certain proportion, and then test the model's seakeeping, wind resistance and other data in the pool. Through repeated adjustments and improvements, the optimal ship shape can be obtained at the beginning of the design to avoid consumption. Ships built with huge sums of money are not practical, or they will be scattered in one wave." Li Cunming explained.
"What a good idea!" Yuan Jixian stroked his beard and nodded, "If you don't predict it, you won't succeed. Only by testing it a few times can you get the best warship. Your Majesty, I have learned a lesson!"
Yuan Jixian was impressed again, and then rushed away happily, summoning craftsmen to build a model of the Chongzhen according to the shipbuilding manual.At the same time, people were sent to enclose a water area by the river as a test pool.
Li Cunming was not idle either. He went to the navy barracks to train soldiers every day, condescending and not ashamed to ask his subordinates, trying to be familiar with and master some water warfare knowledge as much as possible.
There was no other way. The Ming Dynasty lacked generals who were proficient in water warfare. As the emperor, he could only do it himself.
The warships at this time were all wooden sailing warships, and the artillery was often installed in the cabin, and the artillery was launched from the side.
From this, Li Cunming thought that he could adopt battle line tactics, line up the ships in a line, and make full use of firepower on one side.He quickly took action to familiarize the soldiers with battle line tactics, and he also gained a deep understanding of them.
Half a month later, Huang Degong came to Jiujiang.
Li Cunming met him on the Dafu boat, looked at his blind left eye, and said with emotion: "When the Zuo army rebelled, thanks to Lord Yasukuni's resistance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
Huang Degong said: "Your Majesty also praises it. Princess Changping and the others contributed the most to the suppression of the Zuo army's rebellion. To this day, I still think of Princess Changping and the three of them driving a fast boat to ride the wind and waves, beheading Zuo Liangyu among the thousands of troops. I still feel that Fascinated!"
Li Cunming said: "In any case, Duke Jingguo lost an eye, and I feel very sad."
"As long as it's worth it, what's the point of losing one eye? Let me tell you the truth. In the past, I always felt aggrieved and depressed during wars. I had all the strength in my body but didn't know where to use it. In the past two years, the depression has been swept away. No longer running around like headless chickens, this is the change brought about by His Majesty's strategizing!"
Li Cunming smiled, invited Huang Degong to enter the cabin, and asked him about the situation of Chengtian Mansion and Xiangyang Mansion while drinking.
Huang Degong said: "The minister, Li Guo, and Weng Zhiqi, two generals, were ordered to go north to attack Xi'an. The whole journey was overwhelming, and it was very relieved. Especially the Loyalty Battalion led by Li Guo, rushed to the forefront in every battle, risking their lives."
"Later, Kaifeng fell, and I received your Majesty's order to withdraw the troops. Li Guo was very depressed. Fortunately, I and Weng Zhiqi tried to persuade me, and General Li was able to take the overall situation into consideration and calmly retreated. Needless to say, Li Guo is a man He is a rare general, much better than Chen when he was young!"
Li Cunming laughed loudly and said, "I understand what Li Guo is thinking. He wants to avenge Li Zicheng. Why, didn't you catch Niu Jinxing and his son?"
"Hey, it was a little bit close, what a pity! Niu Jinxing followed Azige to attack Tongguan, and then he probably went to Mongolia. As for that boy Niu Quan, when we attacked Shangzhou, he ran to Xi'an to hide After a calamity." Huang Degong said.
"I think Li Guo must be very angry. I have to write a letter to comfort him and tell him not to worry. One day there will be a chance for revenge." Li Cunming said.
Then he changed the subject and said: "Jing Guo Gong, when you come to Jiujiang, I will hand over the navy to you. I believe that you will be able to forge a powerful and powerful navy. Our Ming Dynasty will not only build a strong navy on land. If you are invincible in every battle, you must be proud and proud in the rivers and oceans!"
"The minister must do his best!"
……
After another period of time, the model of Chongzhen was built.Accompanied by Huang Degong, Li Cunming visited the riverside to watch the first pool test.
Although the ships in the pool are just models, they still look majestic.The hull is covered with iron sheets, and the bottom is covered with copper, which looks brand new and shiny under the sunlight.
The boat was running in the test pool, and it was very stable.Hundreds of soldiers stood on the ship, making various operations and recording data.
Hongyi cannons were installed on the model ship, and Yuan Jixian ordered the cannons to be fired.This is the most critical part of the experiment. Li Cunming watched nervously with his fists clenched.
The sound of the cannon sounded, and the shells hit the river.The model ship was unshakable, as stable as Mount Tai, and the soldiers cheered.
Yuan Jixian ran to the bow and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, it's done!"
Li Cunming said: "It looks very good, but we should be more cautious and test it a few more times. It is windy at night, so we park the model ship in the test pool to withstand the test of wind and waves."
At night, there was a river wind.The model ship swayed with the waves on the water, and one wave after another hit the ship. The model ship did not appear abnormal.
The next day, Yuan Jixian took the soldiers and craftsmen to check it from beginning to end, and finally confirmed that the work was done, and excitedly reported to the emperor.
Li Cunming was very happy, and immediately ordered the construction of the Chongzhen warship, saying: "When autumn comes, I hope to see the Chongzhen sailing to sea!"
Yuan Jixian originally wanted to say that it was difficult, but when he saw the emperor's eyes bright and full of expectation, he replied: "Even if I shed a layer of my skin, I must ensure that I complete the task!"
