The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 470: Discussion on building shallow water gunboat

"There are all such things!" The officers and soldiers on the ships were amazed by Chen Yuxue's astonishing move, but they were not envious.

For them, especially the captains, warships are their lives.

Just as soldiers treat their muskets as partners or even their wives, muskets are more loyal than their wives, and the captains also have a lot of affection for warships.

Knights love war horses, captains love warships, and an almost self-harming attack like Chen Yuxue's, each captain asks himself whether they can't do it.

Warships must be properly preserved and used for their combat effectiveness.

If an ordinary captain did this, even if he helped the Marines land, other captains would seriously BS him!

This approach is considered superior and unscrupulous and undesirable.

Yes, the Marine Corps is blocked, but the Navy can't beat the guy who eats itself to help the Marine Corps, because before the critical moment, there is no attack here, then change to another place.

Thinking of the sacrifice of naval battleships, only when the enemy's arson ship rushes towards their boss battleship, the captains will stand in their way.

Human lives are valuable, and battleships are also important. In the event of an accident, the resignation of the captain is a trivial matter, and damage to the consul's battleship that affects the Navy’s reputation is not something that anyone can easily be responsible for, unless...

The things her husband paid to make, she damaged, and others have nothing to say.

...

Kaohsiung 31 served as a fort to cover the successful landing of the Marine Corps and completed the combat mission. However, the people on the warship became listless after the initial excitement, because the warship ran aground on the beach and could not move, and the bottom tank was full. There is no way to repair it if you lose the water!

Deputy Captain Chen Yuansheng and Captain Chen Yuxue complained: "Captain, are you planning to change from the Navy to the Marine Corps?"

Chen Yuxue said happily: "Good idea, tell my brothers to prepare the muskets, let's land and fight!"

Chen Yuansheng was startled: "You really want to!"

A speedboat approached and sent the fleet's order. Chen Yuxue sneered: "Look!" Chen Yuansheng took the order document and read it. The order inside was magnificent. First, he praised Kaohsiung No. 31 for his great merits. Then all officers and soldiers on the ship are not allowed to leave the warship without authorization to support the landing fleet.

Then there was a personnel transfer. Chen Yuansheng temporarily replaced the captain of the Kaohsiung 31 cruiser. As for Chen Yuxue, she ordered her to report to the battleship Nanhai No. 2 to report on her combat history so as to sum up her experience.

"Congratulations, sir, it seems that you are going to be promoted!" Chen Yuansheng said with a smile: "If you are promoted, I will become a captain!"

"What you said is a bit hurtful, as if I blocked your way." Chen Yuxue pretended to be angrily: "Don't worry, I will be promoted step by step, and you will always be my deputy!"

Chen Yuansheng's face turned dark when I heard it, but after another thought, it was really fast to follow this young lady to get promoted!

...

Chen Yuxue got on the speedboat that had been ordered and went to Nanhai II. She was just in time for the meal. She was led into the restaurant on the ship. Governor Chen De first stood up and applauded: "Welcome our hero!"

The senior officers in the dining room stood up and applauded. After all, Chen Yuxue was so young that she was embarrassed.

Chen De asked the officer on the right to squeeze with another officer, and let Chen Yuxue sit on her lower right hand, and on the opposite side was officer Hong Xi to show her respect.

Drinking was not allowed during the battle. Everyone replaced the wine with tea. Chen Yuxue was asked to dry this cup.

As the governor, Chen Degui eats mountain delicacies and sea vegetables. Now he is stewing the Buddha over the wall to eat. It is a chaotic stew of precious seafood such as fish maw, fish belly, sea cucumber, fish lips, scallops, etc. Everyone shares a piece of the soup and is full. Mouthful.

Eat well, but don’t waste it, everyone eats cleanly!

As the boss of the dress, Yan Changwu will definitely not tolerate the phenomenon of "Jumen dog meat, frozen bones on the road". He takes the lead in packing after eating, and no one dares to laugh at him. This is the advantage of having hundreds of warships.

Chinese dignitaries have always been extravagant, showing their glory and wealth through waste. Top dignitaries like Yan Changwu did the opposite. Not only did they not be laughed at, they also praised him.

If you refuse to accept it, there are so many armaments!

After dinner, everyone drank tea and chatted, Chen Yuxue then recounted his actions, and finally suggested: "We used to attack enemy ports, all of which were straight and thin docks. The fire control docks of warships allowed the Marines and Army to board calmly. Wharf. Like when our Marines land on the beach, the warships cannot provide them with fire support. We should build shallow-water gunboats, and the most important thing is to use shotguns!"

Chen De nodded and said: "It makes sense!" He asked the staff around him to write down and prepare to build a shallow water gunboat.

Most of you present here are high-ranking officers. Everyone discussed the construction of a shallow water gunboat. It must be a Chinese-style sailing vessel. Because it has a shallow draft with a flat bottom, there is no need to open the wall to open blastholes. There are 6-pounder guns on both sides and bow to shoot shotguns. Come on!

Some people have also suggested that large-caliber toad mortars can also be equipped, which is the predecessor of the mortar, which fires a loosely structured shell that disintegrates in the air or blooms on the ground, so as to kill and injure the enemy defending the shore.

The toad mortar cannon is installed in the middle of the ship, equipped with guide rails, and can even rotate 180 degrees.

You said and I said it with gusto. Some officers have been impatient and have already drawn the structural drawings. Only for further details, they can even be used to build shallow water gunboats.

When he was talking about entering Hong Kong, an officer came in and whispered a few words to Chen De. Then Chen De said with a smile on his face: "Everyone!"

Everyone stopped talking and listened to him announce: "Our army defeated the defenders outside Ambon City and occupied Ambon City!"

Even if the high-ranking officers present here no matter how cultivated they are, they can't help but cheer loudly like the little soldiers!

...

After the three thousand Marines landed, they marched along the beach towards Ambon City. They pushed forward with a 2 pound (40 mm caliber) cannon ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ This cannon has a light body and can be used with small boats. Carry and land, equipped with shotguns.

Five thousand indigenous people were dispatched under the leadership of military officers to fight the Southeast Army on the vast beach outside Ambon City.

The golden flag is shining, and it is really made of gold leaf. It was personally ordered by Sudan Abdullah Harig.

This battle is related to his destiny and must not be taken lightly. He cannot pass his destiny into the hands of others!

The aboriginals recovered from the shock of being blood-washed by Chen Yuxue's shotgun, regrouped, and optimistic, they quickly put aside their fears, drumming, shouting and shouting, and their morale was strong.

Only Abdullah Harrig and the nobles were unhappy. They saw the enemy equipped with firearms and felt a headache.

The people at the bottom didn't know, the people at the top knew the power of firearms, and these Chinese troops were afraid it would be difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, it hadn't been hit yet. The series of shells flying from the sea had already landed on the indigenous people, smashing them to death and wounds. They had already seen blood before the war began!
