- In the next few days, Zheng and his son stayed in Guangzhou, eating and chatting with Zhao Han every day.
Zheng Zhilong led the fleet this time, so he can do business by the way, and his men are purchasing various goods.
On the fifth day after Zheng Zhilong came to Guangzhou, the Guangzhou Navy of the Ming Dynasty completely surrendered.
In fact, they surrendered a long time ago, because the families of the navy officers and soldiers all lived in the shore guard. They just ran a few ships, and now they all returned, and Zhao Han sent people to take over the warships.
Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Sen and his son followed Zhao Han to inspect the navy. When they arrived at the military port, both father and son couldn't help smiling.
A very weird smile.
"The main town and the Guangzhou Navy are here." Wan Bangyanhui reported.
Wan Bangyan is a concubine of the Linjiang family. He used to be the number three figure in the Jiangxi Navy. Now he brought some officers and soldiers of the Inland River Navy to Guangdong to form a navy for Zhao Han.
Zhao Han sighed: "There is a long way to go."
Wan Bangyan said in detail: "The Guangdong navy is divided into three routes: east, middle and west, with 600, 1200 and 104 guards respectively, and can recruit 500, 1000 and 500 sailors. The navy has almost disappeared in name only, and only the Guangzhou navy in the middle of the road is left. There are three Xinhui ships, and dozens of small boats such as black boats and tugboats."
The Guangzhou navy in front of Zhao Han can no longer be described as shabby, just like a beggar.
There are only three Xinhui boats with a two-story structure, which are barely decent.
As for those black boats, commonly known as bird boats, they were originally fishing boats! It is only 11 meters long and 2.3 meters wide. It has a single-layer structure and can only be used for offshore patrols. There are only 13 ships of this kind, and the rest are just like fishing boats.
Zhao Han said: "Let them go ashore to practice for a month, train discipline, and dismiss all disobedient ones!"
"Yes!" Wan Bangyan took the order.
Zhao Han turned to Zheng Zhilong and said, "Brother Zheng, can I visit your ship?"
"Of course, my dear brother, please." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.
Zhao Han said to Wan Bangyan: "You come too, learn more."
Zheng Zhilong's ship is also a bird ship, but the bird ship cannot be compared with the bird ship.
This is a double-deck big bird ship with a multi-mast bow and stern layout, and guns are equipped on the bow, stern and side.
"Good boat!"
After Zhao Han boarded the ship, he could only speak this kind of vocabulary, and he didn't understand professional things.
"Is this the Franc cannon?" Wan Bangyan asked.
Zheng Zhilong said: "The improved one hits faster, farther and more powerful."
Wan Bangyan almost drooled on the spot when he looked at those Franc cannons. The Jiangxi Navy is also equipped with a small amount of Franc cannons, but compared with the ones on this ship, it seems that the gray grandson has met his grandfather.
After visiting the side artillery, Zheng Zhilong took them to visit the bow and stern.
Wan Bangyan was dumbfounded: "This is this the cannon of the general in red?"
"It is." Zheng Zhilong smiled.
It's crazy. This thing can be used as a coastal defense gun or a city defense gun. I've never seen it installed on a ship!
After being surprised and shocked, Wan Bangyan said in doubt: "There is no need to install a general cannon for naval warfare. This thing has a slow rate of fire and poor accuracy. If it is installed on a ship, the rate of fire will be slower and the accuracy will be worse."
"It wasn't installed on the ship before, it was only installed in the last few years," Zheng Zhilong explained, "These generals in red are running to deal with the red ghosts!"
Today's Portuguese have a very good relationship with Daming. Although there are constant daily conflicts, they all revolve around the management of Macau. If encountering a foreign land, Daming and Portugal will definitely join forces. Even if Portugal does not directly make a move, it will secretly help the Guangzhou Navy.
So well-behaved, because Portugal has declined, and its food supply is stuck by Daming, so it must rely on Daming to survive.
In the entire South China Sea area, Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch are fighting for hegemony.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's strategy and tactics must be improved around the Dutch.
Zhao Han asked: "This kind of big bird ship, can it deal with the warship of the Red Fan Ghost?"
Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "It's this kind of big bird ship. I have built more than 20 ships over the years. The warships of the red fan ghosts, come and clean up as many as you want!"
"Why are you so sure?" Zhao Han asked.
Zheng Zhilong explained: "My virtuous brother may not know that the warships of those red ghosts are different from the warships of other countries. Depending on the speed of sailing, they never line up, just rush forward. After charging close, they will be suppressed with heavy artillery , use the arson boat or jump gang battle to win. After I improveCan be honest. In the past, Franji was also very arrogant. After being punished several times, now he shrank in Macau like a dog raised by Daming. The Hongfan ghosts have repeatedly attacked the coast of Daming, Guangzhou has also been beaten twice, and they have not been completely defeated yet. "
"It's the same for barbarians who are fearful of power but not virtuous." Zhao Han nodded.
Zheng Zhilong said: "How about we set up a cover?"
Zhao Han smiled and asked, "What kind of cover?"
Zheng Zhilong said: "It is announced that the Hongfan ghosts are not allowed to come to Guangzhou for trade, and the Hongfan ghosts will definitely come to attack. It is 100% absolutely correct. I know the Hongfan ghosts too well. At that time, I will lie in ambush at sea, and my brother will lie in ambush in the river. Work together inside and outside to beat the Red Fan ghost!"
Zhao Han thought silently, after the Dutchman was beaten and disabled, Zheng Zhilong would be the only family in the sea.
Zheng Zhilong said suddenly: "Brother, I can send you some shipwrights, and you open a shipyard to manufacture warships yourself. How about it?"
"Brother is so sincere, brother Yu is naturally willing to cooperate." Zhao Han immediately agreed.
The cooperation between the two parties has become closer, because Zheng Zhilong has shown his heart.
This great pirate seems to really want to surrender, and he probably wants to enter the court and become a high official, or be named a prince to honor his ancestors.
