Lord of Ming Dynasty

The first generation of finalized steam engine warships used a new type of steam engine battleship to reduce the dispersion of coal ash, and installed a filter device inside. The frigate used a 3000-horsepower small boiler, which was composed of two [-]-horsepower small boilers. The cruising speed reached After [-] knots, the fastest speed reached [-] knots. In order to reduce the exposure caused by the drift of soot, the Huaxia Empire tried its best to install smoke filter boxes, smoke filter screens, and smoke spray systems, so that In the end, the smoke coming out of the chimney turned into thick blue smoke. Compared with thick black smoke, the chances of being discovered at a distance are lower.

Of course, the frigate also has a spare boiler set. Two [-]-horsepower boiler sets form a [-]-horsepower spare boiler set. Once the enemy fleet is spotted, it will immediately increase to [-] knots and escape. Their hulls are small in tonnage and line-shaped. And with some tail low mast sails, the front mast can also hang steerable mast sails, use two small boiler groups, and escape with low smoke and dust.

The battleship uses the same dust suppression system, but there are more chimneys, and there are some black smoke inside. The four huge chimneys occupy a large part of the middle section of the hull, and four 5000-horsepower steam engine boilers are installed inside. , there are sixteen small 3000-horsepower boilers, and at the same time there are two [-]-horsepower spare boilers at the rear, and four sets form a [-]-horsepower boiler group, a [-]-ton steam battleship with a displacement of Generally, four [-]-horsepower boiler sets are used, for a total of [-] horsepower, plus four sets of [-]-horsepower boiler sets for a total of [-]-horsepower boiler sets to propel a warship of more than [-] tons with the maximum Running at [-] knots.

If you only use four 16.6-horsepower boiler sets, you can only push the ship to run at a maximum speed of 6 knots. If you use four of the boiler sets, the small boiler set, [-] horsepower, will only be able to propel the ship at a speed of [-] knots. Running at a speed of [-] knots, the two [-]-horsepower boiler sets, with a total of [-] horsepower, can only propel the ship at a speed of eight to nine knots.

Generally, two [-]-horsepower boiler sets and four [-]-horsepower boiler sets are used to form a ship that can drive the ship to run at a speed of twelve knots or more, maintaining the same cruising speed as a frigate.

After the warships of the Huaxia Empire were finalized, most of them used 3000 horsepower, [-] horsepower, [-] horsepower, and [-] horsepower, and other boiler groups to match the power of each ship. The high-horsepower boilers with these horsepower are installed on the ship, especially on ships with a tonnage of more than [-] tons and [-] tons. armor and firepower.

It can be said that researchers are already at the bottleneck of science and technology and cannot break through.

The efficiency of two [-]-horsepower boilers to drive a ship is no more than four [-]-horsepower boilers with a total of [-] horsepower. The system effectively disperses the danger of things like a loss of efficiency of the ship due to a boiler failure, or simply shutting down at sea, because it can be disconnected and recombined to maintain the efficiency of other boilers. Because of a full horsepower boiler The inefficiency caused, or the accident of stopping the ship at sea.

In a fierce battle, one boiler is hit, and then the whole ship becomes the target of the enemy. Such a thing is scary to think about, so the boilers used in battleships generally use low-horsepower combination solutions.

The first thousand and 110 chapters and seven Spanish brothers

The Spaniards purchased about 120 warships, including more than 90 decommissioned sailing warships, more than 30 steam experimental warships, and 35 sailing warships with the Spaniards. It can be said that overnight, the Spaniards changed their guns and their strength increased greatly. Compared with their [-] sailing warships, their strength should be increased by at least seven or eight times.

The more than 70 warships from the British are also sailing warships. After all, they have only just explored steam engine warships. A huge warship with a large enough tonnage is very cheap to build in the Chinese Empire. It must be at least two or three times more expensive, because the Spaniards are used to luxury and the tonnage is high. There must be a captain’s cabin for the nobles and the captain to enjoy, as well as guest rooms for guests, and small cabins for officers. The utilization efficiency of warships It was offset by a small half of these extravagant consumption.

The British are not bad, at least they know how to enjoy themselves better than the Spaniards, or even if they are not so wasteful, they must be expensive, so not many can be produced. It is not bad to be able to send two ships before. Two ships were ordered, and five steam engine battleships formed a team.

The others are large-tonnage battleships with strong soldiers and sailing warships. At the same time, some have remodeled their iron frames, increased their defense capabilities, and increased the loading of steam engines, which has increased the speed of the ships again, and the maximum combat speed can reach [-]-[-]. knot speed.

But this speed will not last long. On average, this high speed can only last for about half an hour when the wind is strong, and then it will drop, and the average speed is only about eight knots. After all, it is still a sailing warship, not all relying on steam engines of.

With the completion of the transaction with the Spanish warships, the British had to die down. Although there were more than 70 warships staying, there were more than 500 warships on the opposite side, and there were more than [-] offshore steam transport paddle wheels. The British had to Secretly acquiesced in the existence of the Spaniards.

The Spaniards were very happy to see that the British were suppressed, and they were very grateful to the Chinese Empire. The value of the 1000 million Spanish gold coins, the arrival of the fleet brought a lot of Western goods and commodities from Spain, and there were many Spanish folk customs in the Chinese Empire. Commodities, as well as Western commodities, many people have never seen before, so they sold out in an instant, and the Spaniards were of course happy from ear to ear, and immediately sent more than 30 sailboats home to pull .

There are a lot of goods from the Chinese Empire in the middle, so the goods of the Chinese Empire are also selling well. The coastal areas of the Chinese Empire have prospered again after decades of maritime trade dying down.

This transaction in Spain alone has stimulated the market of nearly 1000 million Chinese yuan in the Chinese Empire, the total transaction volume has reached 3000 million Chinese yuan, and the Chinese Empire has received more than 4000 million Chinese yuan in taxes. If you add the sale of old ships and The profits from the decommissioned ships allowed the Huaxia Empire to earn more than [-] million Huaxia Yuan this time, and when the Spaniards knew that the Huaxia Empire intended to dispose of many old ships, they agreed to build bridges in the West and transfer nearly [-] ships in the Huaxia Empire. The old ships are disposed of to other countries in the West that need ships.

The once tense trend in Bangladesh has also been eased. The Spaniards let go of the exchanges between the port and the Bangladesh region. The Chinese Empire does not have to face the Spaniards and the British nervously. Of course, the British still have to be on guard, because the Indians will not Completely listen to the British, and the clans who suffered heavy losses in Bengal can only rely on the Spaniards.

It seems that the weather is calm, the rain is over, and the British dare not attack the Spaniards for the time being, and dare not cause trouble. This time, the loss is like the Naga Mountains being seized, Afghanistan being captured, and the Pakistani area being captured and blocked. People swallowed again.

Another reason for this is that when the Chinese Empire called the Fourth Fleet, the twenty ships of the Fourth Fleet were emitting black smoke, with a displacement of more than 3000 tons and a full load of more than 5000 tons. Ten 32-pound artillery below the deck, the fort artillery of the Huaxia Army, and sixteen 34-pound solid bullet artillery on the left and right in the cabin below, are used to cover the safety of short-range warships at a distance of more than 300 meters to 180 meters.

The newly finalized first-generation steam warship of the Chinese Empire still retains some characteristics of the era of sail warships, such as gun doors and cannons on both sides of the cabin. For example, although the main mast has been lowered a lot, it still retains the ability to hang sails, and uses machinery When needed, the sails hidden in the cabin can be hung up in ten to eight minutes, so that the ship can maintain at least three to four knots and the ability to sail on the sea without steam power.

In addition, the front and rear maintain a cross-mast that changes direction and controls the wind direction, so that the steam engine ship can travel at a speed of six knots when encountering a tailwind on the sea, instead of drifting and waiting to die.

There is no way this is the characteristic of this era. Many people suggested to keep it. Zhang Qiang can only let it be kept. After all, the steam engine still has a high failure rate. Just keep it.

Compared with the steam engine ships of the Spaniards, the steam engine ships of the British, the warships of the Chinese Empire, which have already been finalized, obviously have advantages over the enemy in terms of flexibility and speed, and in terms of defense, the Chinese Empire has mostly used iron sheets , Only the interior decoration and some places that do not need to contribute to the firmness of the hull use light wood to save space and displacement.

Twenty steam battleships produced billowing smoke, and the twelve frigates and speedboats following behind also released billowing smoke. Although the smoke after treatment was already very light, dozens of ships were dispatched together, and under the effect of scale, another In clear weather, even from a distance of 3000 nautical miles, it is still very obvious. Next to them, there are more than 26 tons of warships. The main ships of the main fleet of the former sail era, 3000 ironclad sail warships with a capacity of more than [-] tons, after improvement, a steam engine sample boiler with [-] horsepower auxiliary propulsion for two days was installed behind it, so that the sail warship can be guaranteed Maintain the same cruising speed at sea, and follow the steam engine battleship at a speed of twelve knots.

Originally there were more than 20 experimental steam warships, but the failure rate of those things was too high. Today, two steam engines failed to sail, so the Fourth Fleet could only let them leave a few patrol fleets at the door, and then Let the sail frigate go to escort them to patrol, don't come here to be ashamed and conspicuous.

This is to show off and show the strength of the Chinese Empire. If a ship breaks down at this time, it will be a shame.

More than 60 warships sailed past the British port, and the British could only watch silently. Although they had more than 70 warships, they may not be afraid of the Chinese Empire if they are pulled out now, but most of them are sailing warships, and their speed cannot catch up. In terms of firepower, if they stand at 200 meters, you can only hit 600 or 800 meters. The artillery they use is different from others. As long as they hang far away, they only have the artillery on the steam engine ships. To be able to attract others, six to sixty?

Anyone can do this multiple choice question.

After arriving at the port of the Spaniards, the Spaniards immediately came out to greet them with gongs and drums. The staff arrived, very respectful, and envious in their eyes. After the visit, the Chinese Empire left six sailing warships stationed here. The Spaniards exchanged, and the other warships returned to their stations.

The first thousand and 110 eight chapters can't beat it, just enjoy it

The surrender of the Spaniards made the British completely incapable of retaliating against the Spaniards, because they could not defeat the Chinese Empire.

Don't look at the steam engines that everyone is using now, the Chinese Empire is the best, followed by the British, and Spain uses the Chinese Empire, but the cruising speed is around 67 knots and [-] knots, and the Chinese Empire hasn't surpassed it much. The fastest speed of the Chinese Empire is only [-] [-] knots, and the UK is similar, but the Chinese Empire can last forever, and the British can only achieve it during the battle. Before the battle, or the last moment, the UK dare not drive the fastest speed. , because there is no supplement, that is how their battleship boilers are installed.

At most there is a set of backup, some do not have a set of boilers directly, and the main power is sails, they believe in sails, boilers are backup and auxiliary in their view, this is the understanding and explanation of the two steam engine technology, use caused by different methods.

Seeing more and more warships from the Spaniards, the British finally realized who is in charge here, the Chinese Empire.

So the new British governor sent someone to invite Charles Ding to mediate. Britain and the Chinese Empire ended hostilities and formally established trade relations. Tong Dawei, acting as the governor of Southeast Asia, returned to the Governor's Mansion of Southeast Asia and received the visiting guests. The British governor, and then the two sides sat down to discuss some cooperation matters, and allowed the British to establish a contact-level office in the Chinese Empire.

The merchants who came from the British this time can do business in the Chinese Empire, and they have issued a certificate for doing business in the Chinese Empire certified by the Governor's Office of Southeast Asia.

Yes, foreigners who come to the Chinese Empire to do business must have a business permit or a pass permit. Otherwise, they will be regarded as spies and arrested. Although there is no such place as a punishment camp to guard prisoners and criminals during the war, the garrison everywhere There are still prisons with their own guards. They can be detained and then tried by agencies at the same level as the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in various places, and then dealt with separately. Either they are detained or executed on the spot, or they are handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has handed over to the cabinet. Therefore, it is already very easy for the Ministry of Punishment to hand over criminals to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and there is no need to go through the emperor.

The British are richer than the Spaniards. At the very beginning, they ordered [-] retired warships from the Chinese Empire, ranging from [-] tons to [-] tons. The merchant ships of hundreds of tons that were sold back were used for maritime trade, and then [-] steam engine paddle ships ranging from ten to several hundred tons were ordered to be used as inland river transport boats in India.

This transaction directly exceeded 2000 million Chinese yuan, and the British bought a modified steam engine sample provided by the Spaniards, 3000 tons of steam engines and propeller parts, a total of [-] pieces, and the direct transaction value was [-] million Chinese yuan. People used Spanish gold coins and silver, as well as Chinese yuan in their hands, as well as Indian tea, silk, and various products to offset the value of all commodities paid by Chinese yuan.

I bought a lot of local specialty products and agricultural products in Southeast Asia, including food and other commodities. The total transaction volume reached [-] million Huaxia Yuan trade volume, which made the Southeast Asian Governor-General of the Huaxia Empire flourish. Plenty up.

Tong Dawei ordered that part of the benefits obtained, such as the part that was compensated with commodities, be distributed directly as benefits to the garrison and field army garrisons in the Southeast Asian Governor's District, as well as various government offices. It cost almost 1000 million in profit commodities, although it was eventually divided , There are not many in each department, but this is a rare benefit other than salary. All departments in Southeast Asia immediately rejoiced and sang praises to Tong Dawei.

Tong Dawei handed over 3000 million yuan of profit to the Huaxia Empire Center for disposal, which was all the gold and silver, some supplies, and all the Huaxia Yuan paid.

Most of the goods and about 2000 million Huaxia Yuan profits are left here for the financial expenditure of the Governor-General of Southeast Asia. As for the others, it is the transaction of the shipyard, the Navy Directorate, and the Navy Coast Guard, and those profits do not belong to him Domination, and part of it is the steam engine manufacturers controlled by the empire center, as well as the profits and transactions of the parts manufacturing department of the shipyard.

At the same time, Tong Dawei also suggested to the British Governor that the Huaxia Yuan should be used as the currency of the British Indian colony, or as a payment currency, which would make it easier for the Indian colony to trade with the Chinese Empire.

In the next few months, both the Spanish colonies and the British Indian colonies used commodities to obtain about tens of millions of Chinese Yuan currency as a means of payment for transactions with the Chinese Empire.

In the past, it was not that there were no Indian princes and nobles who stored the Huaxia Yuan currency of the Huaxia Empire, and the amount was not small, which was equivalent to billions of dollars, but the circulation was not smooth, so that those currencies were lost in India in vain, and the Huaxia Empire could not Then print a considerable amount of currency and put it into the market. If the Indians use these currencies, the materials and currency of the Chinese Empire will be inflated, because the money is not equivalent to the exchange amount of gold and silver collected by the Chinese Empire. The excess is of course inflation. up.

Originally, you could buy a product for ten yuan, but after the money poured in, the product was worth 12 yuan, and then you found that the price of the commodity had risen, and then the money became worthless.

Although billions of Huaxia Yuan are nothing compared to the hundreds of trillions of Huaxia Yuan in circulation in the Huaxia Empire, it has a concentrated impact on the Southeast Asian market and the Western Region market, because they buy things closest to the Southeast Asian Governor-General. Consumption is also here, so it will disturb the market here. Therefore, Tong Dawei's purpose is to circulate the money in the market as soon as possible. It cannot be gathered together to disrupt the market and circulate slowly. The Huaxia Empire did not print more redundant money. Currencies can only be mined out of these currencies.

When these currencies come in, there will be corresponding commodities, such as old and decommissioned merchant ships, which can be used as inland river transport ships in India, and warships can be sold to India as new merchant ships for trade, and promote trade between Southeast Asia and India. Make money beget money, so that the goods produced by the Chinese Empire can be bought by the Indians through the money, and the money will eventually be returned to the Chinese Empire, and turned into means of production and materials, and become commodities, and the commodities can be exchanged for Indian commodities. , and British, Spanish goods.

It can be said that the British and Spaniards have basically been dealt with now, and they have been subdued to continue to be quiet, and have formal commercial and trade exchanges with the Chinese Empire, which has promoted the commercial trade of the Chinese Empire at least in the Southeast Asian Governor-General and the coastal areas of Guangdong.

This is similar to the Qing Dynasty and Turkey, but Turkey and the Qing Dynasty are not as fond of tossing as the two of them. They don’t have much to be proud of in the West anymore, so they are more honest, and the British were driven out by the Chinese Empire, and they have been targeted for so long secretly and publicly, and they must be unwilling. They will definitely do things in the future, but they are honest now.

The first thousand and 110 nine chapters of the good days of the Qing Dynasty

After ending the suppression and disintegration of the British colony of India, the Chinese Empire turned its attention to the north, Lao Maozi and the Qing Dynasty.

The British have been suppressed miserably, but compared to India's hundreds of millions of people, as many as thousands of ethnic groups and tribes, and the harsh living conditions of mountains, deserts, and jungles and other geological environments, the Chinese Empire is impossible To accept them all is to put a burden on the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire now has a population of [-] million people to support.

The current situation is that these 800 million people live on a huge land of 1000 kilometers, and the per capita income in the core area is relatively stable, mostly at the level of [-] to [-] Chinese yuan. Dozens of Chinese dollars, such as Siberia, Indonesia, Australia and other islands, most of the people who immigrated in the past were farming, hunting, mining, shipyards, and plantations. In these industries, some places have a per capita income of about [-] yuan. In some places, it is around tens of yuan, and in some places, it is around five or six hundred yuan. In places where the per capita income can reach five or six hundred yuan, those who are close to the core area of ​​the Chinese Empire are basically applying to enter the core area.

However, access to the core area is now restricted. Baodao and Qiongdao have been reviewed and basically accepted to enter the core area, because the site is small and the plate is small, so it is easy to accept. Penglai Prefecture is the former Japanese island and the Ryukyu Islands. It has already entered the core area. Because the three continents in the northeast are the inherent land of China before, this used to be the past of the dynasties, so they soon entered the core area.

The Mongolian prairie, but the Mongolian area of ​​later generations has entered the core area. In other Mongolian areas, because of the nomadic way and garrison management, the per capita income and economic development are still quite backward and far away, with an average per capita income of only a dozen yuan. Therefore, it will not be included in the core area.
