Sir Thomas Roy’s Amsterdam rose sailed on the sea, and the strong south-east wind blew the sails very full.The huge hull began to accelerate, leaving the coast.Fan Wencheng boarded this thousand-ton sea behemoth with the help of a small boat, and had to lament the incredible Taisi shipbuilding technology.

"Mr. Roy, your ship is really big."Fan Wencheng stood on the deck of the ship, and he could not find too many words to describe it.Although the ship was very stable, the great steering force when it could sail made him stagger a few steps and almost fell.

Sir Roy was tall and looked down at Fan Wencheng with a look of looking down.He sneered at the scornful scorn of the shaving head and the slender-haired orientalist with slender hair.The compliment that was not worth mentioning to the other party could not make him half interested.He said to the translator, "Tell this clown that he hopes his master has enough gold and silver, or I will make him regret it."

Translated from Southeast Asia, black and thin, tired of the arrogance of these white people.He sent Sir Roy away before he turned back and made a few words.Fan Wencheng did not dare to make a second time, and hurriedly asked the interpreter: "How long will this Taisi's fleet be able to Liaodong?"

"About five or six days, depending on the wind."The translation says.

“Five or six days.”Fan Wencheng has been out for more than a month, and I don't know how the war situation is in the north.A few days ago, a crane messenger flew to Jiangnan and came the news of Nurhachi.At present, whether the Thai Fleet can cooperate with the war situation, he has no confidence.

The translator looked worried and couldn’t help but laugh: “Mr. Fan is not too worried, Sir Roy’s fleet is invincible in this sea.”His Amsterdam was huge, with three decks and dozens of heavy guns, a Dutch-built warship.This kind of ship is also the top of the European countries.

In addition to this flagship, Sir Roy had six other armed merchant ships, also a powerful character equipped with twenty or thirty guns.Any one can hit the water of Daming's water master, and it will certainly be no problem to deal with the anti-thiopards in your country.In addition, we have dozens of ships from Mr. Li Dan, and hundreds of ships from Jiangnan rich businessmen, which will certainly win.”

Amsterdam is followed by six armed merchant ships from Nagasaki, Macau, Batavia.These are more than 500 tons of big guys, and none of them are good.In addition, Li Dan and Jiangnan's official squire also cobbled together some ships, these ships are large and small, strange, and some can't even keep up with the speed of the fleet, Sir Roy did not care about these broken ships.

With such a huge fleet, it does seem that there is no need to be too afraid of the maritime power of the Revolutionary Army.Especially Zhou Qingfeng's rise for so long, only to hear that his land forces are powerful.At the top of the sea, the transport ships were running around, and the smoking steamboats were strange and scary, and they had never seen any powerful warships.

“Did you say there were a lot of cannons on this ship?”Fan Wencheng is a representative of the "big customer", and has his own separate space after boarding the ship.Although the air in the cabin is turbid and the sailors are rude, a separate single room is already treated at the super-VIP level.The translation with him can only be laid on the floor of the single room, which is already a preferential treatment.

“The ground deck placed forty-eight pounds of long-barreled heavy guns.The thing on the shore is used as a fortress gun, and it is so bulky and powerful that there are one or two in the harbor.There are twelve gates on the ship.

The mid-deck was thirty-two pounds of cannons, and the upper deck was twenty-four pounds of short-barreled guns, all of which were twenty.In addition, there are small guns on the top deck, and on land they are all coming.The translation is very proud of the configuration of this ship, such as several Janes.

Fan Wencheng did not know what pounds were not pounds, and it was not good to ask, otherwise he seemed too ignorant.He only said, "My family's sweat is also heavy."

“The Dutch didn’t sell it to you.If it had not been for Sir Roy's generosity, you would have been defeated."The translation mocked a few words, and did not quite catch up with the standard text.He cleaned up his own shop and was ready to sleep.

Fan Wencheng took this kind of sea boat for the first time, lying on the ship can not sleep, always feel the hull in the swing, the cabin is very noisy.Nor did he understand what kind of fate he was going to face, until it was very late to close his eyes.Even when he was asleep, Nurhachi, who was far away in Liaodong, could not sleep.Late at night, the slave chief still wrinkled his eyebrows in his study.

To be a slave owner from the deep mountains and forests, Nurkhachi's population ruled in the past was half a million.He never imagined that governing the territory of a million-level population would be so troublesome.And now he is in trouble.

Governance of the country is not only a war, the national economy and people's livelihood are more and more broken, even the internal forces of balancing women's real are becoming more and more complicated.In order to solve these problems that he never thought of, Nurhachi can only use what he can best: war – to solve internal problems from the outside.

Winning, constantly winning.This is the solution of Nurhachi's solution to the problem, which has been the case since he started, and has been very useful, why change it?He did this in history, and the founding of the state department was based on the demise of the female ministries.Coupled with the strong foil of the late Ming Army, it is simply a wonderful way to unfavorable.

The rapid rise of the "revolutionary army" has blocked the road of the big gold country to continue to plunder the outside world, and the wild boar skin will be changed to a peaceful development.Forget it, the wild boar skin believes in a great miracle.He will only feel that the force he has used is not enough, and he is not strong enough.

God's Blessings were destroyed, and Guulti attacked a small setback.None of this is enough to change Nurhachi’s thinking.On his desk were the large-caliber smooth-bodied sausage guns returned by the flight of the crane messengers, and the three-beller's judgment of the situation.

On the ground of the study were several Han craftsmen on their knees, and they were dismantling the captured flintlock.The gun had been demonstrated before, and its power shocked Nurkhachi.This naturally needs to be imitated.He felt that since the craftsman could make a fire rope gun, he could naturally make this better-used flintlock gun.

Just the kneeling craftsman said half a day, the gun has been broken into a pile of scattered parts.Every part was discussed, but the craftsmen never responded.

“What is the difficulty in saying that Ben Khan can still embarrass you slaves?”Nurkhach waited for half a day, and was already a little impatient.

A few craftsmen were suddenly afraid, and they did not dare to believe the slave chief.If you don't work well in Daming, at best you will be scolded.But if this big gold does not do a good job, life will be thrown away.What is “not difficult” is clearly “very difficult”.

But this gun does not look very good, every part is extremely fine, smooth and easy to learn.The material of a metal piece such as the barrel is also excellent, thin and light, and the internal and external walls are very symmetrical.This is not easy to do.

If this part is more clever, there is still a way to be skilled.However, the difficulty of this material can not really break through.The fire rope gun of Dajin is limited by the inferior steel quality, and the barrel is to be thicker and heavier.This is a lot of trouble, but this gun has a strong flexibility.Where does this elasticity come from?This is a matter of persumption.

The elasticity of this machine is not enough, and the gun is soft and not on fire.Behind it is the huge progress of the steel industry in raw materials and heat treatment.These craftsmen of the slaves could not even obtain high-quality iron, and the steel should not be expected.If Zhou Qingfeng is sure to laugh at the scene - wild boar skin, you imitate, although imitation.Illusion, I'll call you!

But the craftsmen dare not say that they can't make it, and they don't dare to say, "The master you are embarrassing us."They can only say euphemistically: "This fire is quite clever, the slave talent is too shallow, and it is not clear for a while."I beg the great sweat for a little while, and I will wait and be careful to solve the mystery.”

Nurkhach frowned, and that was not the answer he wanted.

“Well... go down and be careful.As long as it is done, Ben Khan will not be stingy with his reward.”Noorhachi waved.Several craftsmen, such as the amnesty, quickly kowtowled.

The matter of the flint gun can only be so for the time being, but there is a trouble but a real threat.The big gold country is extremely proud of its field ability, and it is even more proud of its cavalry.However, now the opponent has appeared and is still performing stronger than himself.

“Did the big horse really get the big horse?”Nurkhach looked at the war newspaper sent by Gurtai, in which the description of the Han cavalry occupied most of the space and gave an extremely detailed description of the Arabian horse.Even the consequences of the defeat of Ruan Gus and many details are clear.

"Father Khan, the son has just asked the Hanchen of the magisterium, they have been looking at the recently received 'Revolutionary Army' newspaper overnight, and indeed talked about Zhou Qingfeng's expedition to heaven, and obtained the celestial horse from thousands of miles away."This kind of horse appeared when it was conquered in Beijing, but we did not expect it to be so powerful."

Huang Taiji served in the study, bending over the bow and serving.He was also very surprised when he saw the war report from Yan Guttai.Since the fight with Zhou Qingfeng, the new things that this boy has made have emerged in an endless stream.This is a chest armor, a fire cutter, a gun, and these big gold countries can follow.Although the quality and quantity are almost, it can solve any problems.

Now, well, this kid has made something that is beyond the reach of the big gold country.Just those craftsmen hand over the ears for half a day do not speak, Huang Taiji knew in his heart that it was not good - the new gun looked very good, but I was afraid that it could not be made.

The gun may also be expected to happen, and perhaps the craftsmen will be able to come to a stone tomorrow.But this high horse is really gone.From top to bottom, from real women to Han Chinese, no one can say where the kingdom of this day is?Even the Taixi people who worked as gunsmiths and instructors in Shenyang were extremely surprised to learn of this matter, expressing their disbelief.

It took so long to feel like I didn’t follow the pace of the boy last week.

Where does this fall behind...?
