Chapter 1173 urgent

Sun Jingting always felt that something was wrong with this boat!

There is a report from Taiwan that it is expected that the 600-ton ship will take two to three years, or at least about two years, which is almost the same. In Europe, it will take about one year to build a 600-ton ship. If it is a 1,000-ton ship, it will take at least one and a half years to two years. Even if there are more than one thousand-ton ships, it will be beyond Sun Jingting's imagination. I really don't know how big the ship is! As for the four ships in front of me, they are all 400-ton warships, and there are large paddlings over ten meters long on both sides of the hull. I think it would be impossible to save any effort to build such a ship than a large warship...

Chang Wei seemed to see Sun Jingting's strange appearance. At this moment, the two of them took a few steps forward. Chang Wei said: "I originally had to wait for Brother Xiaozheng to inspect Taiwan for a few days before seeing the scenery before deciding whether to report it... In fact, although the marching department came to the marching department today, there were not many people who knew about it. The people who trained and built ships here could not leave for several months. The soldiers could only send letters or reviewed them. The craftsmen came with their families. Anyway, they were serving food, and they could not go out for a few months and had extra high income. They were very happy. If this matter was not fought, we were preparing to report it to adults only. After all, it was not a common example."

"Kewei means there is something wrong with these warships, right?"

"Yes." Chang Wei said frankly: "All four ships are made of hurry. The wood is wet and the structure is wrong. Therefore, although they can be launched, they can only fight in the nearshore area. But this is okay. The sailing warship was originally used for offshore operations. However, the ship cannot last for too long, at most one year... After a year, the cannon will be removed, and the ship will naturally disintegrate."

Sun Jingting felt his heart pounding, his eyes were a little black. Such a huge warship, so majestic and so arrogant, it turned out to be like a small boat stacked with paper, which was fake!

He held back his anger and whispered: "How much is the cost of this ship?"

"It's urgent that the parts of the cannon and sail cable can be removed by then. Including the wood, labor, and time cost, 80,000 taels per ship."

"The four ships are more than 300,000 taels..." Sun Jingting pointed at Chang Wei with his fingers trembling...

Chang Wei was very calm: "This matter is not my leader. It was the board, manpower, locality, shipbuilding platform, and soldiers that Li Shouxin took when I went to Hirado. He and Dyzhnev were all handled by him. Later, when I came back, they came to report, saying that they were worried that the Dutch would not act according to our schedule, and later they proved their point... It can be seen that they came from Europe and knew each other well. This matter was not my beginning or end, but since I knew and agreed, of course I was responsible. I had asked my elder brother for guilt. I replied that the matter was subject to power and not guilty."

Sun Jingting didn't think that Chang Wei was using Zhang Han to suppress him... Of course, there was no need to be so naive. He had been blinded by a huge sum of more than 300,000 yuan. If he was still in Mobei, this matter would not be forgiven... In order to save expenses, the military commanders almost saved all the expenses that could be frugal. The free tea originally supplied to officials was less than 1,000 taels a year. This item was cut under the auspices of Tian Jitang. Although there was no curse, dissatisfaction was inevitable.

Fortunately, Sun Jingting and Li Shenming and other big bosses were in charge. Hutchison is now committed to the upward trend. Cutting some small benefits will not affect the morale of the military and the people... But they are in the north, but they are still taking silver into the sea... It's okay to see the ships, and imagine these ships as silver, more than 300,000 taels, and one silver of fifty taels of silver will also cost more than 6,000 ingots. If they are piled together, they will be the silver mountain...

But at this time, Sun Jingting knew in his heart that fighting this naval battle is inevitable. If you don’t face the battle, people will take the initiative to fight. The battle is just silver. All victories are almost piled up with gold and silver, except for a few exceptions...

Chang Wei could understand Sun Jingting, but silver was mostly just a number for him. When he was on the grassland, he burned 600,000 yuan. That's it. The Chang family was also a huge rich man. Although he didn't have a net worth of hundreds of thousands of taels, Chang Wei was a playboy since he was a child. He had never been worried about money since he was born. This was different from Sun Jingting hosting the Dongshan Meeting and knew that the suffering of the people was different from that of the people... A poor family often died of children because he couldn't afford a tael of silver for medical treatment. The voice of the miners and his wife crying with their son was the first miserable voice in the world. The purpose of the Sun family's uncle and nephew in establishing the Dongshan Meeting was to make miners less poor, and at least they could help each other. This idea is really a hero, and a young master like Chang Wei would not understand it.

Chang Wei smiled and said, "Brother Xiaozheng, the money will not go today and tomorrow. We are fully prepared to dare to fight. If we can defeat the enemy, in the words of my elder brother, it will greatly reduce the time cost... If we don't build this ship, we may not have developed within three to five years. If we delay, the loss will be even greater."

Sun Jingting knew that if it was true as Chang Wei said, the loss would have to be calculated in tens of millions... But no matter what, it would be heartbreaking, and he couldn't help glaring at Chang Wei at the moment.

The training of sea boats has become quite large. The four rushes are divided into two rushes to fight each other, taking the limelight and shooting the guns on the side. As for the collision, soldiers are also within the training range.

At this time, Wang Jingzhong, who had been silent, stepped forward and said aloud: "There will be something to say in the sea training."

"Old Wang?" Chang Wei also recognized Wang Jingzhong. He was born in the early border army and was qualified. At that moment, Chang Wei smiled and said, "Did you feel the feeling just when you saw it, or did you think about it on the road?"

"I didn't think about anything before." Wang Jingzhong said: "But he had a long talk with Wang Zheng before leaving. He said that he didn't understand naval warfare very well, but he also knew that the spirit of naval warfare and land warfare was always the same. That is, if a queue wins, he can make the captains like a ship, and fire fires several ships at a time, which is greater than that of one ship. Just now, when watching naval warfare training, the last general suddenly realized something. When watching naval warfare, my naval officers and soldiers seemed to have mixed sailors and had the potential to fight on their own. Isn't this a waste of our army's advantages of being well-trained and able to coordinate and fight against unity? The last general does not understand naval warfare very much. If you get it, please don't be surprised by Chang Zhengshi and Commander Li."

"Old Wang suffered a loss once, and his speaking style changed." In the past, Wang Jingzhong was a brigade commander, and then he was a regiment level. In fact, the commander of the first brigade was originally close to the deputy regiment commander. In addition, Li Shouxin is a rising star and a junior, so when he meets and speaks on the grassland, he even feels casual in his conversation... and even feels a sense of domineeringness. This time, because he suffers a loss, he speaks quite politely and cautiously.

Chang Wei was joking, but Li Shouxin and others were thinking carefully.

Now the warships are Chinese as captains, Russian as chief mates, and in fact they are powered by the chief mates... This is normal, and they cannot be called an outsider to command an expert. In fact, the captains of Chinese are also quite experts. For example, Zheng Zhilong and others are already captains. As the saying goes, they know people and use them well. Zhang Han originally did not trust the Zheng brothers and others, and they did not know much about Gan Hui and others. After the trip to Mobei and Tomsk, it was a coincidence. This group of people have been in the Hutchison system for nearly two years. This has truly become their own people. There is no problem with trust and can be used for it.

These people were tide-getting men who have been rushing to the sea since childhood, and stayed in Hirado and Taiwan. They were all on the ship. Although they were not as captained, they knew very well about the situation in Southeast Asia and Japan. They even went to Luzon. Zheng Zhilong even said that Zheng Zhilong would have emerged in recent years, and became a hegemon in the five or six years of the Chongzhen period. This shows that when he rose, both his prestige, qualifications, and skills were enough. Since that is the case, of course, it would be a big use if he could use it... The three Zheng brothers, including Gan Hui, Shi Daxuan and others, are now the commanders of the same ship, and Zheng Shaolai and other original Captain Hutchison were almost enough.

More talents will have to emerge in a few years, so I am not afraid of this. If I can defeat the Dutch, Hutchison will have enough time.

"We have to discuss this with Jezhnev." Chang Wei pondered for a moment, feeling that what Wang Jingzhong said was very reasonable. In current naval warfare, whether it is the arrangement of warships or the fighting of jumping gangs, the tactics of Russians and Portuguese are dominated by the Russians and Portuguese, so the tactics are mainly based on their understanding... Of course, there is actually no tactics for naval warfare now. Warships fight on their own, and jumping gangs fight on their own. When it is tight, sailors and warships are not distinguished. In fact, there is no way to divide them on the warships too in detail. It will take a hundred years before the British soldiers will generally clarify the naval officers, sailors, and marines. They can do their own things during naval warfare, and it will not be too chaotic...

Sun Jingting didn't understand these things very well, and nodded in an irresistible way.

...

"The cool breeze is coming slowly, it's so comfortable."

"After all, the island is still livable."

"This is what we, the Southern Talents, said that the Northern Talents had just arrived, but they could not withstand such moisture."

The drizzle was slightly, and the wind was seen on the big reefs on the coast. The water on the sea surface was like broken clouds, rushing towards the face, and the sea surface turned into shattering. Then there was a cloud-integrated film where the vision was within reach... There was a cloud of black on the sea level in the distance, and more dark clouds were gathering.

Today, Zheng Zhilong asked Li Guozhu to go and communicate with Xiang privately. He and He Bin came to the beach to fish, saying that it was fishing, but in fact it was just a blow to the sea breeze, relaxing their minds, and chatting for rest.

"Look," Zheng Zhilong said to He Bin: "The Dutch ship has a sense of malicious intention!"

"Indeed." He Bin frowned and said, "How could there be such a parked close to you?"
