The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"This, the warship is too powerful." Li Sunchen admired sincerely, his eyes were like little stars.

Speaking of before, he still had doubts about Daming's national strength, but now seeing this huge sea monster with a terrifying artillery array, his previous doubts were wiped out, leaving only endless envy, jealousy and hatred ···

Why is such an awesome warship not from my country of Korea?

Yu Dayou is so excited!

He got Yan Song's personal promise that this awesome warship belongs to his Yu family army!

He only needs to think about it, such a terrifying warship will become his ship, galloping 4.1 times across the sea, and fiercely firing at Japanese pirates and colonists with evil intentions!Yu Dayou feels that such a life has no regrets!

Man, if you can ride long winds and break thousands of miles of waves in life, you will have no regrets in death!

Peter Payne bowed and asked Yan Song to cut the warship and hold a brief launching ceremony.

Yan Song didn't refuse, but directly tore off the veil that still half covered his face while holding the pipa.

The sailors and craftsmen on the ship saw Mr. Yan Ge doing it, and they also started doing it together, tearing off the cloth covering their respective parts!

Expose the true face of this sailing battleship to the sun!

Everyone was taken aback!

I was covered with cloth just now, so I couldn't see clearly, but now I saw the true face of this giant ship, which made people even more visually impactful!

It’s too shocking!

Chapter 1030 Confused King of Korea 【5】

"Gentlemen and ladies, please allow me to introduce to you..." Peter Payne used his half-baked Chinese with an excited trill: "Da Ming first-class sailing battleship!"

“按照严阁老的图纸要求，我大明一共会有三1级战列舰。其中一级战列舰拥有100-110门新式火炮，二级战列舰拥有80-90门，三1级战列舰拥有70门以上。”

"This brand new sailing battleship has a huge hull as high as 25 meters, a tonnage of 3000 tons, and a crew of 850. It has three artillery decks and is equipped with more than 100 artillery pieces. The bottom layer is equipped with 32-pound artillery, the middle layer is 24-pound artillery, and the upper layer is 12-pound artillery! "

Peter Payne talked endlessly, talking about the huge ship at sea that he was proud of!

Everyone was shocked by it.

Yan Song was also very excited.

What is the concept of a warship with a displacement of 3000 tons?

Yan Song is a military fan. In later generations and even in the 90s, the displacement of destroyers in our army was only 3000 tons!

15

That's 400 years later!

And in the Ming Dynasty in the 16th century, with his unremitting efforts, Daming already had a 3000-ton warship equipped with a powerful firepower of 110 artillery pieces!

Yan Song was going to be fascinated by it.

All the previous efforts have been richly rewarded at this moment.

Yu Dayou, Wang Jiaping, Shen Lian and others were even more moved to tears.

Yu Dayou was a general who had no ocean-going warships with Ming Dynasty, and Wang Jiaping, Shen Lian, and Wang Xijue were all from Zhejiang who suffered from the scourge of Japanese pirates.

These people are all insightful people of Ming Dynasty, but they can only look at the ocean and sigh!

Because of the national power and scientific and technological strength of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to build such a huge treasure ship as the Yongle period!There is no navy strong enough to quell the Japanese pirates.

But now?

Under the auspices of Yan Song, such a majestic giant ship of the Ming Dynasty was launched into the water.

What kind of awe-inspiring and blood-pulling scene is this?

Peter Payne bowed to Yan Song and said, "Please also invite Mr. Yan Ge to board the boat, and we will talk about it in detail on board."

Yan Song followed Peter Payne into the boat.

In addition to the three decks, this sailing battleship also has various cabins with up to 7 floors below.There are sailor cabins, living cabins, storerooms, cargo cabins, freshwater cabins, separate bedrooms for officers, and even entertainment rooms with a large capacity.

"This huge ship not only has strong guns, but also has a huge store of food, fresh water and ammunition. Self-sustainability is very important for the fleet to perform sea missions. This ship can sail continuously for a month without any supplies. Ranges of up to 1000 nautical miles."

Yan Song knew that the sailing battleships of this era did not have high speeds, and it was not bad to be able to reach a speed of 10 knots under smooth conditions.

(Note, a knot speed is one nautical mile per hour. A speed of 10 knots is equivalent to 18 kilometers per hour.)

Yan Song nodded in satisfaction.

1000 nautical miles is equivalent to more than 1800 kilometers, which is far enough to travel.Especially after the promotion of overseas colonization and the establishment of many overseas colonies, Ming's fleet will continue to advance and extend the effective range of control.

Yu Dayou was very excited and shouted: "Then, what is the cost of this kind of ship? How many ships can be built in a year?"

This is also a concern of Li Chenggui and Li Sunshin. They also pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

Even the exiled ruler of Koryo was tempted by this majestic sea monster.

Unfortunately, the latter answer was too cruel for him.

Peter Payne said with a wry smile: "This kind of battleship costs 10 pounds, which is equivalent to 90 taels of gold. In Ming Dynasty, because craftsmen are cheap, materials are abundant, and drawings It is ready-made, no need to design, but it needs at least 300 million silver to create!"

"Plop!" Li Chenggui fell headfirst and almost fell off the boat.
