- The British defeat of the Netherlands also started with the formation of the Eastland Company, which used national power to break the Dutch monopoly on Nordic timber.
Although later generations of heroes always like to point out that the British government ordered the country to plant oak trees for the Royal Navy, saying that only oak trees between 100 and 120 years old and more than 20 meters high can be used to build the most beautiful buildings. A good battleship or something.
But in fact, the quality of British oak trees can only be regarded as average. At its peak, the Royal Navy's sailing battleships still relied on wood from the Baltic Sea regionbut Norway and Poland were about to be bald at that time, and the main supplier became the Russians.
Later, the British established colonies around the world. After discovering better woods such as red oak in North America and teak in Myanmar, they switched to importing wood from the colonies and still did not use domestic oak trees.
There is no other reason. The extremely noble Royal Navy is very picky about food and will never use defective products to build ships
Of course, their own statement is that those native oak trees were prepared for the last moment with great foresight. Unexpectedly, his armored ship appeared. So it ended up being for squirrels
My Ming Dynasty is rich in resources, although the oak trees in the pass are not suitable for use. But there are a lot of high-quality oak in Nurgan Dusi's inner and outer Xing'an Mountains, as well as on Sakhalin Island. But if you cut down one hundred-year-old oak tree, you will lose one tree, so others will definitely be able to use it, so you don¡¯t need to use your own.
Mr. Zhao, when crossing the river by feeling his way, of course must imitate other people¡¯s moral principles of putting others before oneself.
Eighty percent of Ezo Island is currently covered with forests, and there are countless precious woods, including a large amount of useful century-old oak. Although Japanese oak has a high moisture content, it is stronger and less prone to deformation. As long as it is left to dry for a long time, it is an excellent shipbuilding material.
¡°And the Ainu people are muscular and hairy, and have been with the forest for hundreds of years, so they must be the best woodcutter!
"The strategy for Ainu Island must be given top priority and start as soon as possible." Zhao Hao solemnly ordered his generals: "After the wood is cut, it must be dried in the dark for three years before it can be used. It is said that after the skeleton is erected, , and it needs to rest for a year to allow the joints of all parts to become tighter."
"Yes." The two of them were not unfamiliar with this, because Ming Dynasty shipbuilding also had the step of drying wood in the shade.
The purpose of this step is to inactivate the cells in the wood. If you skip this step, the living wood cells will absorb water and split soon after the boat is launched, causing the hull to deform, crack, leak, and be scrapped.
Of course, the shipbuilding craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty had long figured out various methods to speed up the dehydration of wood, such as ventilation and drying. However, kiln-dried wood is prone to cracking and is not as good as ventilated and shade-dried wood.
"There is nothing else on Tamra Island, except for the strong wind." Mr. Zhao pointed to the large wasteland in the distance and said: "When the time comes, a large wood workshop will be built here, and the wood cut from Ezo Island will be placed here first. Let the sea breeze blow and blow, how much water will it take to dry it? It will definitely not take as long as three years."
"Then we have to hurry up." After understanding Mr. Zhao's overall plan for Japan, both Jin and Wang felt a sense of urgency that time and time could not wait for us. "Young Master, tell me what to do, we'll seize the day!"
"Well, we really have to seize the day." Mr. Zhao nodded heavily. The two men could not tell that he had no idea how to build Galen's ship.
It is not an exaggeration at all to regard the shipbuilding industry as the top industry in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Galen ship and the sailing battleship upgraded from it are undoubtedly the diamonds in the crown!
Producing a warship as large as a palace requires countless high-quality wood, countless skilled shipwrights, superb design and process management, and countless supporting industries. It's definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight by going to Macau to capture a few red-haired barbarians and coming back.
During the North American War of Independence, the slave-owning regime decided to build three 74-gun battleships. As a result, it took a full six years from the establishment of the project to the launch. The war was over, and the warship had not yet been commissioned.
After the war, in order to express their gratitude to the French allies, they decided to give this battleship to the French. However, after the maiden voyage arrived in France, the French Navy inspected and found that the ship's wood had rotted and could not be repaired, so it was immediately scrapped.
¡° Moreover, this ship had a design error, its structure was fragile, and it could not carry heavy artillery. It was a complete failure. The United States had guidance from France, which was the world's largest shipbuilding industry at the time, but due to insufficient accumulation of experience, technology, and materials, the warships it built were of extremely poor quality and were completely unusable. It can be seen that the manufacturing of sail battleships is very difficult.
Fortunately, Galenic ships were just getting started in this era, and wooden warships were far from being as complex as they would be more than two hundred years later. The so-called flower of industry was not so unattainable.
¡®In the future, Zheng Zhilong will be able to imitate the Dutch¡¯s plywood Galen ship and dominate the South Seas. I can't be worse than a pirate leader, right? ¡¯ Mr. Zhao secretly cheered himself up.????????????????????????????????????? Well, I am currently far from being able to compare with ¡®Nicholas Yiguan Zheng¡¯. That was the leader of the most successful East Asian pirate group in history, surpassing Wang Zhi. Well, on the level of Roger the Pirate King.
However, I will definitely surpass him and become the new Pirate King!
¡°Well, it seems that Yiguan hasn¡¯t been born yet
??~~
¡°I don¡¯t want my subordinates to see my guilty conscience, so as not to appear too shameless. Mr. Zhao smiled and asked Wang Rulong: "How is it, Brother Wang, do you feel the burden on your shoulders is heavy?"
"That's for sure." Wang Rulong said with a bitter smile: "In the entire defense zone of four thousand miles, the governors on the three sides are not so generous."
"That's different." Zhao Hao comforted him with a smile: "The governors on the three sides must defend every inch of territory. You only need to defend a few points. And you don't have to be afraid. The Japanese warm current will send you all the way north. At most It takes half a month to get from Seongsanura to Ainu Island.¡±
"That's good, that's good." Wang Rulong breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What should we do when we come back?"
"When you come back, walk close to our border. The coastal currents of the Sea of ??Japan will send you back to Tamna Island." Zhao Hao thought for a while and said, "It can also be reached in half a month."
"It's so magical." Wang Rulong breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that the young master has thought it over carefully." Jin Ke couldn't help but praise. He didn't expect that the information collected by the young master was so comprehensive, and he thought that the success was indeed not a fluke.
"It's just that no matter what, a coast security brigade cannot afford such a large defense area." Then he said softly.
"Of course, we must upgrade." Zhao Hao felt that his lips were salty and dry from the sea breeze, so he turned around and went down the ridge.
??~~
The three of them found a sheltered place and sat down. Gao Wu took out a silver kettle and poured a glass of water for each of them.
Zhao Hao moistened his throat, asked someone to bring a piece of white paper, and then used lead to chisel on it to draw a very abstract map of the Northeast Asian sea area.
As he drew, he said: "No matter from any angle, we must maintain an attitude of emphasizing the external and the internal. Our security team cannot have too strong a presence in the country, as long as it can protect the safety of the company's personnel and assets, it is enough." It's too strong Not only will the court be worried, but it will also cause the group to quickly turn into a warlord."
"Yes." The two of them nodded in agreement. Jiangnan Group has money, food, territory and population. If it is coupled with a strong army, someone will definitely shout the slogan of "separate Jiangnan".
After understanding Zhao Hao¡¯s ambitions, they knew that the young master would never allow that situation to happen. My son¡¯s goal is the sea under the stars, the world above the country. How could he allow the Ming Dynasty to cause chaos?
"So, Jiangnan Security Group is as big as it is now." Zhao Hao said solemnly: "The security team is responsible for protecting the company's property, and the war at sea has nothing to do with the security team!"
"Yes!" Seeing that the young master had already thought of these questions, the two of them cheered up and responded in unison.
"The Coast Guard will be independent from the security group and reorganized into the Coast Guard Corps directly under the Tamna Garrison Area." Zhao Hao said solemnly: "I plan to personally serve as the commander and police commissioner of the garrison area."
Although Jinke Wang Rulong didn¡¯t know what the commander and police committee member meant, they all responded quickly and solemnly.
"Brother Jin will serve as the deputy commander of the security area." Zhao Hao glanced at Jin Ke and said with a smile: "The construction of the base will be fully entrusted to Brother Jin. In addition, the navigation school will also be moved to Tamna Island, and Brother Jin will also bear the burden. It¡¯s very heavy.¡±
"Don't be afraid, I will never let you down!" Jin Ke stood up and saluted him.
Wang Rulong was very happy. He thought that all these miscellaneous things were his own work, but it turned out to be Lao Jin's.
"Brother Wang, you serve as the chief of staff of the garrison area and also the captain of the directly affiliated coast guard corps." Zhao Hao ordered Wang Rulong in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Wang Rulong immediately stood up and performed a standard security team salute.
"I just want to calm down with you first, let's sit down and chat." Zhao Hao waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to look at the picture he drew. "I'm not a good painter, so I'll just make do with it."
Actually, it can¡¯t be described in a bad way, it¡¯s almost enough to say it¡¯s a ghost-drawing talisman.
But the two of them stared at Mr. Zhao's work intently, as if they were studying paintings of holy names.
"The Tamna Garrison Area has five marine police stations. The first is the Gapado Marine Police Station, which is responsible for the protection of Gapado and the future Daejing Port, and patrols and protects our main route west of Tamna Island." Zhao Hao pointed out. Look at the westernmost circle on the picture and say:
"The tasks here are very heavy. In fact, I care about Brother Jin the most. It's a pity that you don't have the skills to do all the work."
¡°¡¡± Jin Ke wants to say that I can do it, but it¡¯s almost two hundred miles from here to Gap Island. That's okay
"I would like to ask Brother Zhu to take charge, and then let him serve as deputy police commissioner of the garrison area. What do you think?" Zhao Hao asked the two of them.
"Young master is wise, very appropriate!" The two of them nodded when they heard this. The eldest brother Zhu was Zhu Jue. He has been working as a mentor in Xishan Company, and seeing the two old brothers prospering, he couldn't hold himself back for a long time. The two of them also wanted to help him get out of his cage and come to the sea and the sky to leap like a fish.
" But Zhao Hao didn't say it, the two of them would never say this. They had suffered a loss once and were particularly cautious about this kind of thing.
