Lord of the House

"Lin Zhengjun" will become a new breakthrough in Huaidong shipbuilding technology if the sea trial is successful.

The matter of launching a sea trial, from the military division to the shipyard and the Jinghai camp, is very important. Although the "Lin Zhengjun" is a civilian ship type, and the warship will be built on this basis after the successful trial voyage, but from the **** and military guards to the boatmen and sailors, all the backbones are recruited from the Jinghai Sea Camp. The craftsmen were dispatched from the shipyard to observe the sailing situation with the ship. Hu Qiaozhong, the son of Hu Zhiyong, was appointed as the captain of the ship and was in charge of the trial mission of the "Lin Zhengjun".

At that time, navigation mainly relies on experience to navigate, the tradition is called Bijing method. Most sea-going ships must navigate the familiar currents and coastlines in order not to get lost. Astrology is still regarded as an evil method by the orthodox, and only a very small number of boatmen in the world have mastered it.

Lin Fu has long established the concept of longitude and latitude in his heart. What he thinks is almost a common sense problem, but it is a profound knowledge that is extremely difficult to grasp for the people of the world.

Chen Enze, Hu Qiao and others stand out, not by accident, nor because they are close to Lin Fu, but because they belong to high-level intellectuals in the current army. They were deeply influenced by Lin Bing, and in their respective fields, they showed a very high level of professionalism.

It has only been half a year since the shipping school in Huaidong was officially opened to recruit students. After Lin Fu and Ge Fu changed from the cruder method to the more accurate vertical moment method, the Jinghai Sea Camp, including the Heishui She Ship Club, can guide There are very few talents for the fleet to conduct direct flights in the vast ocean.

In the trial voyage of a new ship type, the structural strength is second, and the adaptability of the ship type to wind and waves is the most important criterion. Lin Fu even asked the "Lin Zhengjun" to have the ability to pass through the summer hurricane area. Such a sea trial mission is not something ordinary people can do.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Hu Qiaozhong led the whole crew to salute Lin Fu and others who inspected the launch of the "Lin Zhengjun" at the dock, and then ordered the launch of the ship.

The huge hull slid slowly from the rails, slanted into the river, making a huge screeching sound, and the waves slowly breaking open at the bow of the ship looked like white lotuses in full bloom. The people inside and outside the pier and watching the lively on the other side, just got into the water to be considered a successful shipbuilding. Watching the big ship immersed in the river water and slowly sailing away from the pier, they applauded loudly, waving, clapping and applauding, extremely excited.

"Today is Zhengjun's full moon wine, you all put aside the things at hand," Lin Fu asked with a smile, "Are you going to cross the river with me now?"

"That's why we should beg for a drink!" Sun Jingxuan, Hu Zhiyong, Ge Siyu and others all agreed, and went to the north bank with Lin Futong by boat.

The ship sailed to the heart of the river, and the "Lin Zhengjun" filled the sails and went downstream to the river mouth.

"Is three months too little?" Ge Siyu stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the "Lin Zhengjun" down the river, and said quite worriedly.

The current craftsmen, accumulating technology, rely more on experience and are not good at theoretical summarization, so it may take more than ten years for general new ship types, or even one or two generations to finally mature.

Lin Fu gave the "Lin Zhengjun" only three months of trial time. After three months, the Guanyintan Shipyard will build two more improved giant ships at the same time.

"Maybe three months is a little short, but I think three months is too long," Lin Fu said something that sounded contradictory, and then explained to Ge Siyu, "I will meet today. Signing the ban on the sea, authorizing the Jinghai battalion to attack all unreported ships in the waters south of Changshan Island, how much time does Si Yu think we have?"

"Ah!" Ge Siyu was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that the prelude to the East China Sea would be kicked off today.

"From now on, all the ships that go to sea from Zhejiang and Fujian, not only the warships of the Zhejiang and Fujian naval divisions, but also fishing boats, merchant ships, cargo ships, ferries, etc., will be the targets of the Jinghai Camp," Lin Fu said slowly. "Not only the targets at sea, but also the docks, shipyards, and docks in the coastal waters of Mingzhou Prefecture, Jin'an Prefecture and the southern Zhejiang provinces will be the targets of Jinghai Camp! The warships of Jinghai Camp will be vicious wolves. It's a vicious tiger, forcing the Zhejiang and Fujian navy to go out to sea and duel with the Jinghai Division at sea! The specific battle plan, Mr. Qin and the others are working out, probably tomorrow or the day after, everyone will be able to see..."

Ge Siyu devoted himself to construction affairs. Sun Jingxuan and Hu Zhiyong did not find it strange that Lin Fu would sign a ban on the sea today, opening the prelude to the competition with Zhejiang and Fujian for dominance in the East China Sea.

Zhou Pu and the main force of the cavalry battalion were transferred back from Siyang, Ge Cunxiong and most of the Jinghai Third Water Battalion were transferred from Shanyang to be stationed at the front line of Guanyin Beach; the four newly built Jinhai-class warships were given priority to supply the first water battalion .

The first water battalion completed the six battalions' full formation before September, and the number of soldiers increased to more than 3,600. In addition to the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion, Huaidong's soldiers on the Shengsi Islands reached the scale of 10,000 for the first time; including the soldiers, sailors, and sailors, the total strength of the Shengsi Islands reached more than 13,000.

The fleet of Heishuiyang Shipbuilding Society also completed the preparation of Wuwei **** before September.

After excluding the ships below a thousand stone, the total capacity of the Heishuiyang fleet remained at about 240,000 stone, divided into four fleets.

After the Infantry Division's Guard Battalion dispatched elites to Lin Fu to form the Haidong Camp, it did not get a supplement and kept the four battalions. Each fleet is organized into a battalion of soldiers, and the ships belonging to the Blackwater Ocean Shipping Society are completely turned into armed merchant ships.

The Korean Navy has frequently appeared in the waters east of Dengzhou, and the Heishuiyang Shipping Company, which undertakes the important task of directly sailing from Chongzhou to Jinhai, must have enough troops to **** it.

In addition to the reorganization of merchant ships into armed merchant ships, this reorganization of the Heishuiyang Shipping Society is more important to eliminate all slow-moving ships. On the vast and boundless sea, it is relatively easy for a grain-carrying sailboat to escape the pursuit of the Goryeo naval warships as long as it maintains its speed advantage.

In this way, the **** task of the Jinghai Second Water Battalion is reduced, and some of the main forces can be dispatched to be stationed in Jiangmen to become the reserve water battalion for the Shengsi line of defense.

The near-sea grain route from Huaidong to Jiaozhou Bay in Shandong was changed to Hecheng and Shanyang. The flat-bottomed fishing boats in the Crane City Fishing Farm were all moved to the more northerly Dafeng and Yanqing areas.

This ensures that in the waters south of Hecheng and Changshan Island, only the warships of Jinghai Camp and the armed merchant ships of Heishuiyang Shipping Society can legally pass through, and other ships in this area will be allowed by Jinghai Camp. The target of the attack!

After nearly three months of deployment, Huaidong has adjusted the situation of attacking the east coast of Zhejiang and Fujian. Sun Jingxuan and Hu Zhiyong know that it will be a few days later if Lin Fu does not sign the sea prohibition order today.

The battle with the luxury family in the East China Sea kicked off. Huaidong would launch an all-round attack, forcing the Zhejiang and Fujian naval divisions to go to sea to fight, consuming their large ships and attacking their shipbuilding capabilities. After exhausting the elite warships of the Zhejiang and Fujian Naval Divisions, no matter how many troops the She family deployed on the eastern front, it would not be of use.

Once the war in the East China Sea begins, the Guanyintan Shipyard will mainly focus on building new warships to make up for the war consumption. However, after the war begins, Huaidong's resource consumption will also increase sharply.

Although the trade route with Haidong has been opened, no matter how rich Haidong's resources are, they must be transported back by ship.

Once the shipbuilding capacity of Guanyintan Shipyard is mainly focused on the construction of warships, in order to meet the needs of ships in the Haidong route, it is more suitable to build super-large ships with large capacity and fast speed.

Build a "Lin Zhengjun-class" merchant cargo ship, with a load capacity equivalent to eighteen thousand stone ships. Coupled with the acceleration of the speed, the improvement of the loading speed of the imperial cargo and the increase of the seaworthiness time, the annual transport capacity of a "Linzhengjun-class" merchant cargo ship can almost reach 30 thousand stone ships.

Another important point is saving manpower.

A transport fleet of thirty thousand stone ships, crew and sailors plus escorting military guards, at least seven or eight hundred people.

A "Lin Zhengjun-class" merchant cargo ship only needs 20 or 30 crew and sailors. No matter how many escorts and guards, more than 100 people are enough. The saved crew and sailors can make up for the shortage of the water camp.

This is also the fundamental reason why Lin Fu also took out so many resources to try out super-large sea ships when the war became more and more tense.

The foundation of the She family is very deep. Even if the Zhejiang and Fujian naval divisions are completely wiped out, it cannot be considered to completely destroy the She family's ability to go out to sea~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The contention for the waters south of the Shengsi Islands will be a long-term and Cruel. The advantages of super-large sea-going ships in logistics supply will be more clearly reflected.

Song Jia stood silently by the side. When Huaidong and Zhejiang and Fujian always separated male and female in the East China Sea, the She family did not fully implement the strategy of abandoning the land and going to the sea, and maybe they would have to taste the bitter fruit!

Sun Jingxuan has been in charge of the Guanyintan Shipyard for the past two years. He is quite confident in the warships of the Huaidong Navy. He stood on Lin Bie's side with akimbo, facing the river wind, and said with emotion: "If you are a luxury leader in southern Zhejiang and Fujian. After the northern connection is formed, temporarily slow down the momentum of expansion from the land, continue to thoroughly implement the strategy of abandoning the land and go to sea, and concentrate on developing the navy, maybe it will be a different result..."

Lin Fu looked at Song Jia and asked, "What do you think?"

Song Jia sighed slightly and said: "Shewenzhuang cannot continue to abandon the land and sea strategy. It is an inevitable choice for the luxury family to shift its focus to the land. Destroying Huaidong first will not help the luxury family. Prompt the Yuan clan to abandon Yanjing ahead of schedule and move the capital to Jiangning!"

"Miss Song is really a good idea. I felt emotional for a while, but I forgot about Jinhai's food supply." Sun Jingxuan said with a smile.

While Jinhai Grain Road barely supported the Yanbei line of defense, it was also continuously transporting resources from the south to the north.

Once the Jinhai food route cannot be maintained, the Yuan clan is likely to resolutely abandon the northern route and move the capital to Jiangning. The large tracts of land on the northern line, including Yannan, are likely to fall into the hands of the Donghu people. Not to mention, after the Yuan clan moved the capital to Jiangning, they will also concentrate more resources and troops to attack Zhejiang and Fujian first.

This situation is even more unfavorable for luxury families.

The extravagant family occupies East Fujian and wants to conquer the world. The road they can take is very narrow, and there are not so many choices; it is not even comparable to Huaidong. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
