In the north of Hangzhou City, in the Fujian-Zhejiang Governor's Office, Governor Zhu Wan looked at the map with a serious expression.

His eyes fell on a seemingly inconspicuous island, Ningbo Shuangyu Island.

Shuangyu Port is located between Fodu Island and Liuheng Island, with a very special geographical location.

Because of its unique geographical location, Shuangyu Port has become a stronghold for the Flangji people and Japanese pirates. Years of operation make this place just like an independent small kingdom.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Wan.

He secretly vowed to capture the port occupied by the Japanese pirates and the pirates of Flangji.

To achieve this goal, we must naturally build a powerful army.

In the early Ming Dynasty, warships were basically official ships of four or five hundred materials. These ships that originated in the Yuan Dynasty were all flat bottoms and were not good at breaking waves.

Zhu Wan ordered people to design and build a brand new lucky ship.

His requirements for this kind of lucky ship are very detailed, and the final product is very obvious.

It is as tall as a building, which can accommodate hundreds of people. Its bottom is pointed, its top is wide, its head is raised and its mouth is wide, and its tail is tall. It has three floors above, and its side is protected by boards, protected by thatched bamboo, erected like a wall, and its sail masts are two roads.

The middle is four layers, and the lowest layer is not alive, only the earth and stone are solid to prevent the risk of lightness;

The second floor is where soldiers sleep and rest. When they hide it in the ground cabinet, they must walk down from the upper ladder;

Water doors are set up on the left and right floors of the third floor, and water cabinets are placed in the middle, which is where sails are set up to cook. There are wooden anchors in front and back, and brown cables are used. The lower anchors are used to lift the anchors and all of them are used to force this layer;

The uppermost floor is a terrace, and you must go up from the third floor to the ladder, with wings on both sides like railings, people lean on them to attack the enemy, and arrows, stones, cannons all look down and fire.

When the enemy's boat is small, it will plow and sink when it meets, but the enemy is difficult to attack, which is a powerful weapon for naval battles.

In essence, the Fu Ship is also a kind of building boat, but there are some differences. The Fu Ship uses sails as the power, while the Fu Ship relies on paddling.

Therefore, blessed ships are more suitable for sailing at sea.

Of course, there are also a large number of firearms on the lucky ship for combat.

In addition to the lucky ship, Zhu Wan also ordered people to make the Guang ship.

Compared with the lucky ship, the broad ship is larger, and its strength is farther than that. The broad ship is made of iron wood, and the lucky ship is nothing more than pine and pine. If the two ships impact each other in the sea, the lucky ship will break and cannot be regarded as the hardness of iron.

When Japanese barbarians build ships, they also use pine and fir, and they dare not conflict with the Guang ship. However, it is difficult to adjust the Guang ship. It is easier to adjust the lucky ship. If the Guang ship is broken, it must be repaired with iron wood, which is difficult to maintain. Moreover, its system is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and it is shaped like two wings. It is stable in the Caspian Sea and shaken in the overseas ocean.

The cost of building a ship in a broad boat is twice as much as that of a blessed boat, and its durability is also greater. The blessed boat is pine and fir trees, and the elm insects are easy to eat, so they often have to be burned and washed. After eight or nine news, it is embarrassing the wind and waves. The iron strength of the broad boat is strong and the wood is strong, so it is difficult to destroy even if the elm insects eat.

In addition to recruiting large warships such as Guangbo and Fubo, Zhu Wan also ordered people to build Haicang ships. It can be regarded as a small lucky ship, with its advantage of being rapid rotation.

This kind of boat draught is about seven or eight feet, and can also be driven when the wind is low.

As for the smaller Cangshan boat, its head and tail are wide, and both sails and oars are used. When the wind is smooth, the sails will be set, and when the wind blows, the oars will be swinging.

After the oars were placed on both sides of the boat, there were five branches on each side, two jumps each, two jumps each.

If the square oar is not used, the board gate jumps up, and the head jumps out often.

It is made of two layers of plate partitions, and the lower layer is covered with stones. The upper layer is used as a battlefield. The middle layer is ladder and lie down at the bed.

Zhang Fan and the lower skull are all on the battlefield.

It is as low as the vast, and the blessed ship is as wide as the sand ship. It is quite convenient and fast to fight the enemy. People in Wenzhou call it Cangshan Tie.

With these various warships, Zhu Wan had a lot of confidence. He felt that it was time to fight the Folang Jiren and the Japanese pirates.

When Zhu Wan was planning a combat plan, his personal soldiers came to report to Dinghai County student Xu Yan for a visit.

Although Zhu Wan was worried, she still asked her personal soldiers to bring Xu Yan to him.

After a short while, Xu Yan was taken to the front of the house.

"I pay homage to the master of the ministry."

Zhu Wan was promoted from governor to governor, and Xu Yan made great contributions, so how could he not know?

Zhu Wan took a step forward and helped Xu Yan up and said, "Young friend Xu is out of here. I have said that you can call each other with friends after you are alone."

Xu Yan said he didn't dare.

Zhu Wan smiled without saying a word, signaling Xu Yan to sit down.

After the two sat down, Zhu Wan asked, "Xu Xiaoyou is so anxious to come to find me, but is there something important?"

Xu Yan hurriedly said, "Report to the master of the ministry, I heard that the master of the ministry was planning to attack Shuangyu Island, so I came to ask for advice."

Zhu Wan nodded slightly.

It is naturally not a secret matter for Zhu Wan to fight Shuangyu Island. At this moment, there are countless warships anchored at Panshiwei Port. It is not surprising that Xu Yan, a native of Ningbo, learned about this news.

"The people of Folang Ji are entrenched on this island and ignore the laws of the Ming Dynasty. If I ignore it, how can I be worthy of the emperor and the people of Zhejiang?"

"Gao Yi, the master of the Ministry."

Xu Yan flattered her and thought to herself that she would not hide it even if she had come.

"I wonder how Lord Budo wants to attack Shuangyu Island?"

"Of course, we will send a mail ship to lure the enemy first and lure the pirate ship out of the port to fight."

Although Zhu Wan was a civil servant, she was also very knowledgeable about military tactics.

In his opinion, if the Flangjimen resolutely shrink in the port and do not fight, it would be very difficult for the Ming army to break through Shuangyu Port.

Xu Yan nodded.

"What Master Master Wu Tang said is very much. If you want to capture Shuangyu Port, you must first control its north and south waterways. The young student suggested that Master Wu Tang could divide his troops and lure the enemy to fight. At the same time, the main fleet attacked the main port, and sent two other divisions to block the north and south waterways to prevent the bandits from escaping."

The reason why Xu Yan suggested this was because although the Ming army won a great victory in the naval battle between Shuangyu Port in history, many Japanese pirates took advantage of the chaos and made a comeback after resting and recuperating.

Of course he knew that it was impossible to achieve his goals in one battle, but it was still possible to block the waterways and eliminate pirates as much as possible.

Zhu Wan remained silent.

If Xu Yan was just a young man who could recite poems and lyrics, of course he would not listen to Xu Yan's advice here, and would even directly order someone to bomb Xu Yan out.

But when he inspected Dinghai County, Xu Yan left a deep impression on him.

The article "Reorganized Coastal Defense Policy" gave Zhu Wan a great inspiration, giving him a clear idea when rectifying coastal defense.

First, take charge of military power and clarify the functions of each person.

Second, establish a baojia system and strengthen the people's self-defense capabilities.

Third, strictly cut off the supplies of Japanese pirates and Flangji people.

Fourth, recruit soldiers and warships.

There are many of them that are Xu Yan's ideas, and Zhu Wan only made some improvements.

It can be seen that Xu Yan is a very thoughtful young man, so Zhu Wan decided to listen to his suggestions on attacking Shuangyu Port.

"Xu Xiaoyou continued to talk."

After receiving Zhu Wan's affirmation, Xu Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Shuangyu Port is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the master of the ministry wants to win this port at a small price, he can only take his wisdom."
