Chapter 149: The Initiative to Attack (addition at 12:00 noon)

Lin Xianyang was full of embarrassment. After seeing Su Ze, he said:

"The magistrate asked Huiwei to visit, because he wanted to ask Changningwei to send troops to relieve the siege of Sha County."

Sitting in the family temple and ancestral hall, everyone looked at Su Ze. Unknowingly, everyone regarded Su Ze as the backbone.

"can not go."

Su Ze expressed his thoughts frankly.

Su Ze said to Lin Mojun: "Baihu, the reason why King Lu let the Japanese pirates land is to disrupt the defenses of the guards in various places. Our Changning Guard has a total of more than 100 troops. If they are really mobilized by them, then It's passive."

Su Ze said to Lin Xianyang: "Brother Xianyang, go back to the other magistrate and say that the Japanese pirates have no siege weapons. Shaxian City is different from Jianyang. The city wall is so tall that they cannot attack it. The layout, surround the points to fight for aid."

Jianyang's prosperity is due to the printing industry, but it was captured by Japanese pirates several times because of the good economic development.

Outside the city of Jianyang, there are continuous printing workshops. With the expansion of the scale, the gentry in the city of Jianyang have asked to tear down the city walls to make it easier for workers to enter and exit.

In the end, the county magistrate of Jianyang really listened to what the gentry said and demolished some of the city walls.

As a result, when the Japanese pirates came, Jianyang County had no city walls to defend, the magistrate committed suicide and died for his country, and the printing workshop outside the city was burned.

Sha County is two days away from Changningwei's march, and the roads are not good, so there is no way to carry the Frang machine gun.

And Changningwei has no geography or intelligence about Sha County, so it is tantamount to sending it to the Japanese pirates to fight.

At the same time, in the back house of the magistrate's yamen, Fang Ruolan also said to the anxious Fang Zhifu:

"Father, my daughter thinks that Changning Guard should not be allowed to go to Sha County."

"Sha County can be defended, and Japanese pirates are making trouble everywhere. Isn't Changning Guard going to die?"

"Besides, the terrain is difficult to fight outside the county. If you are ambushed, the people in the mansion will be panicked."

Fang Zhifu's originally anxious heart was calmed down a lot after being persuaded by Fang Ruolan. Fang Ruolan continued:

"All counties in Yanping Prefecture know how powerful the Japanese pirates are, and they will definitely not go out of the city to fight the Japanese pirates. As long as they stick to the city wall, there will be no problems."

Fang Zhifu nodded.

Fang Ruolan said again: "This Japanese invasion still depends on the sea side."

"What does this mean?"

"The Japanese pirates who scattered into our Yanping Mansion were only here to disrupt the situation in Fujian. Some of them were not even Japanese pirates, but bandits and refugees coerced by Japanese pirates."

"To really let the Japanese pirates retreat, you only need to defeat King Lu at sea."

Fang Zhifu also understands this truth, as long as King Lu's fleet is still at sea, the Japanese pirates on land will have nothing to fear, anyway, they will retreat to the sea after they have robbed enough.

Moreover, King Lu controlled the sea area, and these Japanese pirates roamed freely in the coastal areas, and they could recruit more Japanese pirates to come to Fujian to rob.

If the deer king does not retreat, there will be an endless stream of Japanese pirates on land.

Fang Zhifu naturally understands this truth, but Fang Zhifu in Fuzhou Prefecture really has no hope.

The mansion fell silent, Fang Zhifu pinched his temples and said:

"I also asked Lin Xianyang to persuade Chang Ningwei to send troops. If Chang Ning Wei refuses, this matter will be over."

Sure enough, when Lin Xianyang returned from Changning Guard the next day, he brought the reason why Chang Ning Guard refused to send troops, which was the same as Fang Ruolan's analysis.

In Nanping County, there is only Changning Guard as a fighting force, and Fang Zhifu still relies on Changning Guard, and he did not reprimand Lin Xianyang, but let him continue to prepare for the Japanese with the military room.

Two days later, news came from Sha County that the Japanese pirates had been besieging the city for several days, and then scattered like birds and beasts, spreading to other counties.

Fang Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief, and strictly ordered the counties to guard the city wall, and asked the government's military and workshops to send people to reinforce the Nanping city wall.

In the precarious situation, Changningwei was also full of nervous preparations.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty is a small exercise every two days, and a big exercise every ten days.

In Changningwei, there is a small exercise every day, and a big exercise once every five days.

In addition to the previous blunderbusses, Su Ze also found more than a dozen blunderbusses from the New World, and now he has organized a team of 50 blunderbusses, practicing marching and turning every day.

Lin Mojun selected a hundred soldiers from the rest of the Changning Guards to join the army, and formed two hundred-man regiments to practice the mandarin duck formation.

Among them, there are 60 people who can board the ship to fight. These are the elite of the original Changning Guard, and they can go ashore to fight on land and on board.

Then there is the secret weapon, the gunpowder boat. During this period, Su Ze led a group of apprentices to start building the clipper-style clipper he designed, while Lin Xianzong built the flat-bottomed boat according to the traditional method. The two parties agreed to compete in speed after the boat was launched. Higher.

Yongchuan is a small civilian ship, which was first made by shipbuilders in Ningbo, Zhejiang. This kind of ship sails at a good speed and can carry more cargo. It is very popular among merchants along the coast of Zhejiang.

The fast boat designed by Su Ze is a fast boat designed based on the clipper boats of the 18th and 19th centuries.

The flying clipper is a high-speed sailing ship. This kind of ship is very fast. Only relying on sails to drive, the speed can exceed ten knots. It is the last glory of sailing before steam replaces sails.

However, the full version of the clipper ship Su Ze has no blueprints in his mind, and it cannot be built with the current technology.

Although the principle of the flying shear boat is actually very simple, it is to reduce the volume of the hull underwater, use a more reasonable bottom streamline to reduce the resistance in the sea, and maximize the use of sail power.

But in fact, a complete flying shear ship requires a turbulent hull structure, scientific force analysis, and complex sails.

Let alone Changningwei, even Spain and the United Kingdom cannot build such a ship.

But Su Ze doesn't need the full version of the clipper ship, he just needs a clipper boat that can be driven by sails, filled with explosives and rushed to the Japanese pirate fleet to explode.

Su Ze built this small clipper ship to accumulate relevant data and technical experience for the future manufacture of real clipper ships.

The shipbuilding industry is an industry that requires a lot of investment and time. Only through constant trial and error and step by step adjustment of various parameters can new ships be developed.

This is a long-term investment process, and because of this, the shipbuilding industry is full of opportunities for overtaking on corners.

A country with a large fleet can only go to the end of this technical route, and it is difficult to overthrow the previous accumulation and change the technical route.

The rise of the Dutch and British navies, on the one hand, is due to the development of financial resources and productivity, which dragged Spain into bankruptcy.

Su Ze regretted it a little. When he chose to choose the passive skill of carpenter Lv5, why didn't he choose the passive skill of shipbuilding and carpentry level +1.

However, shipbuilding is not only carpentry, the textile industry is also an important part of the shipbuilding industry.

The waterproof and durable canvas is all woven by textile machines. The developed textile industry in the UK is also an important reason for its rise at sea.

Asking the apprentices to make the hull according to the drawings, Su Ze took another sail that was removed from the New World and found the Lu family who was weaving cloth in the ancestral hall.

"Sister-in-law, can you weave this kind of cloth?"

Holding the canvas, Mrs. Lu carefully inspected the thread ends and threads and said: "We can weave, but this kind of cloth is too expensive, and we need thick silk to weave this kind of cloth. Let me see, there is still hemp in it." , no wonder it’s so strong.”

Su Ze has already discovered that the old grandfather, the daughter-in-law Lu Shi, is very talented in weaving. Sure enough, after Lu Shi touched the canvas, he analyzed the weaving method of the canvas.

"Mr. Su, let me try."

Su Ze said quickly: "Sister-in-law, just try it, and let me know what materials you need."

When Su Zewo was building a ship in Changningwei, King Lu attacked again and attacked a coastal guard.

The guard house that was attacked was only a hundred miles away from Changning Guard, and it was also a house of thousands of households. After snatching the two ships from this guard house, King Lu walked away.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Mojun clenched her fists and continued to inquire about information about King Lu from the Ketus who lived on the boat.

On September 5th, Lin Mojun had figured out the details of the King Deer fleet that was raging in the southeast.

According to Su Ze's request, Lin Mojun drew the sea chart in detail, and also made a scale sand table, and made King Lu's fleet into a ship model.

Su Ze and Lin Mojun are discussing how to deal with Japanese pirates.

"In the past few days, the Japanese pirates will fire their cannons first every time they go to battle. With such a large consumption of gunpowder, it is impossible for King Lu to bring so much gunpowder with him on board. He must have set up a gunpowder depot on Dong'ao Island."

Su Ze looked at the sand table and placed a sign representing the powder barrel on Dong'ao Island.

Lin Mojun also nodded and said, "You mean, we are going to change our plan and attack Dong'ao Island?"

The original plan was to lure King Lu to attack Changningwei, and then use an ambush gunpowder ship to surprise King Lu's fleet.

But now Su Ze has a better plan, which is to directly attack Dong'ao Island and find a way to detonate King Lu's gunpowder magazine.

Su Ze nodded and said, "Gunpowder needs to be moved frequently. King Lu never thought that someone would attack his lair, so the gunpowder depot must be located on the pier."

"As long as our gunpowder ship can detonate the powder magazine, it will definitely cause a bigger explosion. Without the gunpowder, the King Deer will lose its effect."

Su Ze's thinking became clearer and clearer, and he continued:

"To attack Dong'ao Island, it's too far to go directly from Changningwei. We still need a small island to temporarily settle down, and use this small island as a platform to attack Dong'ao Island."

Lin Mojun heard what Su Ze meant, she raised her head and said, "Are you going to Dong'ao Island?"

Su Ze nodded and said, "At least go to Dong'ao Island to have a look around, and you must understand the layout of King Deer on Dong'ao Island."

Lin Mojun nodded and said, "I see. Those Khoto people have some deals with King Lu. They will send food to the island. I can take their boat to find out the news."

Su Ze said firmly: "I want to go too."
