Boyang, Wangjiangwan Navy Base.

In the empty water village in the past, eight five-masted ships had been stopped, five of which had been renovated, and the hull with tung oil was shining in the sun. The replaced sail was snow-white, and a group of sailors were

Under the command of an officer, he kept rising or lowering the sails and adjusting the angle. The weather was already extremely hot, and the scorching sun shone on the water surface, and vaguely water vapor rose from the water surface. The entire water village seemed to be

Like a steamer, the sailors were wearing only a pair of shorts, barefoots, shouting horns, and beads of sweat rolled down from their bodies.

Above the other three ships, countless craftsmen were busy, and the sound of knocking was endless. New materials were constantly carried onto the ship, and the replaced waste was moved to the shore. These ships not only had to replace and repair part of the hull, but also had to be extremely powerful.

Some of the ship-borne weapons are also needed to be replaced in the city. Small thunderbolt cannons, demon-suffering crossbows, and thunderbolt fires transported from the Yizhou Fengrui Bing Workshop were piled up like mountains in the Wangjiangwan Water Village Warehouse, and a water division was like Cao Xinyu.

After repeated tests by the old man, they re-determined their installation location.

These five-masted ships are all from Jingzhou Navy. As Hong Anbang said at the beginning, the worst ships these ships are new, and the best ones are 70% to 80% new. Money can make the devil push the mill, and a lot of money

After using it, these warships that were originally strictly controlled appeared in the Wangjiangwan Water Village. The navy of the Northern Army, which had nothing, had begun to take shape and had the prototype of a small naval fleet.

The five-masted ship has three floors, and two miniaturized thunderbolt cannons are installed on the top floor. This is the result of Fengrui Arsenal's efforts for several years. The thunderbolt cannon has a long range and is powerful, but it is huge in size and remains unchanged in carrying.

After moving to Xingling, Fengrui has transformed from a traditional military workshop to a new weapon researcher and developer. With the strong support of the General Office of the North, experienced technicians in each weapon workshop were recruited.

Their main job is to develop more powerful weapons. Once they succeed on a certain weapon, they will immediately make samples and issue them to the army on a small scale to experiment. Once it is proven to be successful, these new weapons

It was split into different parts and handed over to Guangchang's large and small weapons workshops for production. Then these semi-finished products were transported back to Xingling Fengrui and assembled together. After debugging, they were ordered by Zhengbei Army.

This business method has made most of the military workshops become processing workshops, but as long as you have money to make money, these workshop owners don’t mind. Of course, the big head was earned by the Fengrui Bing Workshop, but now Fengrui

The Soldier Workshop has become a wholly owned workshop controlled by the Zhengbei Army. After becoming the chief of the full-time ordnance of the Works Department under the Zhengbei Governor's Office, Zhou Weifeng, the former boss of Fengrui, has sold all his shares in the Fengrui Weapon Workshop to

The Northern Governor's Office.

This small thunderbolt cannon is only one-third the size of the thunderbolt cannon used by the army, which allows him to be installed on a five-masted ship. Of course, he sacrificed his range, and the original thunderbolt cannon can shoot one

A thousand meters away, the mini version of the thunderbolt cannon has a range of about 400 meters. Although the range is sacrificed, its firing rate has been greatly accelerated, from a complete human power launch to a semi-artificial mechanical launch, and the sailors only need to stop.

Just load it with bullets, and the original wooden drop arm was replaced with iron, and the shells also changed from a single stone bullet to multiple types. In addition, iron bullets and shotguns were added, and the iron bullets were heated

Burn red, launch it and fall on the other party's hull, which will inevitably cause the other party's hull to rush.

Fire, the damage caused to the enemy by this shell should be several times that of the stone shell. The so-called shotgun is actually a net bag made of some thin ropes with sharp iron sheets and stone sheets. During the throwing process, it is huge.

Centrifugal force will cause the net bag to break, and the sharp iron and stone pieces inside rotate and fly out. A shotgun such as this covers about one meter. It may not have much effect on soldiers wearing armor on land, but in

On the ship, very few soldiers were wearing helmets and armor, because wearing these is extremely inconvenient for sailors. If you accidentally fall into the water, these things will allow you to meet the King of Hell faster, naked.

The loss of a barefoot sailor when he encounters this weapon is imagined.

Now the bed crossbows equipped on the main battleship of Jingzhou Navy has been abandoned by the Navy of the Northern Army. This kind of bed crossbow with a large amount of equipment is powerful but has a slow firing rate. The Navy of the Northern Army has generally equipped the Fu developed by Fengrui

The magic crossbow, a large crossbow that is less powerful than a bed crossbow, can shoot ten crossbows at once. On the second floor of the warship, there are two ships on both sides, and one on the bow and stern on each side.

Taiwan's density is far beyond the conventional preparation of Jingzhou Navy.

On the side of the first floor of the ship, the thunder fire was equipped. This intensively shot short arrow is like a scythe of a dead snake for sailors when fighting on the side. It can be imagined that when both sides fight on the side, they fight on the side.

, This short-range shooting weapon, like a locust, will make the opponent's general worse than death.

Overall, the Navy of the North Army has greatly strengthened the long-range strike capabilities of the warships and minimized the opportunities for on-board combat. This is also related to the rare naval soldiers of the North Army and the difficulty of training. Yun Zhao is not rare.

The few navy trained through hard work died after a big battle, and he could not afford to consume his life. Now the Jingzhou navy has more than 20,000 people, and he can also collect Jingzhou's Jingzhou at any time.

He did not have the reserve troops, but after several months of hard training, the Navy of the Northern Army is now in the process of forming more than 1,000 sailors.

After all the weapons of the first warship were installed, the navy general Cao Xinyu never got off the ship. He stroked the shiny hull, and his lips were trembling with excitement. He couldn't hold up a word for a long time.

Walking past the warship and looking at the new weapons, Cao Xinyu was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

He rolled his bedding onto the first completed warship and never came down. In his words, he regarded the ship as his home from then on.

"General Ma, General Cao!" patted the newly installed thunder fire, Zhou Weifeng, who is currently the head of the Ministry of Works, said to the two with a smile: "These are good things, even the current army is not equipped, like small thunder fire cannons.

, You are the first to use it. The governor’s love for you is obvious to all. To be honest, many army generals are dissatisfied with it now, thinking that you are not useful for the time being, but have occupied so many resources.

It's a total waste, the governor doesn't want you to really let those army generals say it."

Ma You thrust his chest, "Don't worry, Lord Zhou, our navy will let the drought crabs know our power one day." Ma You now has completed the transition from an army general to a navy commander, and he has flattened his mouth

, not convinced.

"Please tell the governor Zhou that even if we only have eight warships now, I am confident that we can fight against the Jingzhou Navy." Cao Xinyu's eyes lit up, "With such powerful weapons and equipment, we can stand up to ten of them by one ship.

.”

Zhou Weifeng laughed loudly, and he also hoped that the navy warships could show their skills as soon as possible. After all, these warships also had half of his life's hard work in it.

"General Cao, there are more than eight ships. Soon, you will receive more warships. I am only worried that at that time, you did not have enough sailors to be assigned to each ship. Now you have more than a thousand sailors to be assigned to eight warships.

It’s already a little stretched above, right? This does not include other auxiliary ships such as Chima, Mengchong, and whistleboat!”

Cao Xinyu looked ashamed, "Mr. Zhou said, now, if all kinds of auxiliary ships are equipped, I can only start five five-masted warships. However, Master Zhou told the governor that we are now vigorously recruiting sailors,

Soon, soon we will have more sailors.”

"I'm afraid there will be no battle for you in a short period of time!" Zhou Weifeng smiled and said, "General Cao doesn't have to be too anxious. He has to eat one bite at a time, and the soldiers have to be trained day by day. This is like building weapons. If you are anxious, you can just do it.

If you can't do anything, you will often do bad things."

"Thank you, Lord Zhou, for your kind words!" Ma You and Cao Xinyu thanked him sincerely.

"Mr. Zhou, what else do you have? Why don't you give it to us the navy together? My Ma You must remember your favor?" Ma You smiled and pulled Zhou Weifeng, "Mr. Zhou is an expert in armed forces.

, Our Military Weapon Director of the Northern Army, you must have a lot of fun there!"

Zhou Weifeng laughed, "No more, nothing more. What are you doing now are all things that the army needs. Why? General Ma, are you not satisfied with this?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Cao Xinyu laughed, "But Lord Zhou, you have to ensure that our weapons give me at least 30% of the reserves. These things are exquisite and powerful, but there is also a disadvantage, which is to be damaged.

It must be faster than the old-fashioned ones. If there is not enough reserves, these warships will fall into vain at that time!"

"Mr. Cao said it well, hit the mark! He just hit the nail on the head of these weapons. Whether it is the Demon-Suppressing Crossbow or the Thunderbolt Fire, it is indeed easy to damage and malfunction, so we have enough reserves for

You, to ensure combat effectiveness." Zhou Weiran stared at Cao Xinyu and smiled. "No more or less, just 30%!"

Come down from the warship, Ma You naturally has to treat this adult from Yizhou and a person who has a crucial and powerful relationship with them. Even Cao Xinyu, who has never liked these occasions, is happy.

The chef carefully cooked the whole fish banquet made Zhou Weifeng's appetite and praise him. In Yizhou, although fish is not a rare object, it is a fish.

This is authentic and makes a variety of flavors, but there is no such thing.

While eating happily, a messenger rushed into the gate of the water village.

"Two generals and the governor are expediting the secret documents, please read them!" The messenger presented a secret letter with a sealed seal on fire.
