Chapter 421： Steam battleship
"Look at it, it's a steamship."
As soon as this was said, the people on the Dutch merchant ship followed the voice and looked over.
Seeing the black smoke rushing into the sky, they knew that this was a steamship unique to Dahua, a ship that was magically applied in the legend and could move by itself.
"A miracle, really a miracle."
"This is Dahua's treasure. If we can get this kind of technology, we will make a fortune."
"You still want this kind of technology. You can buy a steamboat because you have the ability. Now Dahua only sells traditional sailboats, and it's very unscrupulous."
"Hmph, Huygens is already studying this kind of steam engine, and it is said that there has been a lot of progress. It won't be long before we can use our own steamship."
Everyone talked about it.
Western Europe has always attached importance to navigation and navigation-related technologies.
When some businessmen brought the news of the steam engine back to Western Europe, some inventors and scientists were also inspired and started research.
The principle of the steam engine, in fact, Western Europeans have long discovered.
But if you want to use the principle to make a machine, the difficulty is not generally big.
But no matter what, the history of steam engine research in Western Europe has been greatly advanced for decades.
Wu Changqing’s influence is no longer confined to East Asia, and even Western Europe is beginning to be affected.
In the amazement of everyone, the steamship of the Dahua Navy passed by them.
For these Dutch businessmen, the UOB Navy is naturally lazy.
However, these Dutch businessmen are very enthusiastic, waving their arms, taking off their hats, or whistling hello.
It could be seen that when they saw these steamships, they were still very excited.
There is even envy, admiration, and awe in this kind of excitement.
"These barbarians are really ugly."
The Chinese soldiers on the steamboat couldn't help but spit out.
Human aesthetics is a very mysterious thing. East Asia in the original time and space was beaten by Westerners in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
When facing the strong, there is always a bit of inferiority, and I feel that the things of the strong, even the aesthetics, are the best.
Approval of the other party's aesthetics, to conceal the fact that the countrymen did not know, and to conceal inferiority.
Therefore, East Asians in the original time and space generally think that Westerners look good.
However, in this time and space, Huaxia has not been beaten severely, and it is still very strong now.
The people agree with Dahua very much, have a sense of national pride, and believe in the saying that the heaven is going to be a country. Seeing those foreign races, they will be classified as barbarians, and naturally they will feel that they are ugly.
"Don't pay attention to those who don't, you're ready to fight."
The general of the Chinese Army reprimanded, and immediately the soldiers did not dare to talk more.
The military discipline of the Hua Army has always been strict.
The steam battleship rushed towards Daming's navy, and its fleet and Daming's fleet maintained a very small angle, almost parallel.
Naturally, this is also to make the ship's gunwale aim at the enemy, instead of aiming the bow at the enemy.
Weapons and equipment often determine tactics.
As they entered range, the artillery on the steam fleet began to fire.
Although there are few ships in the steam fleet, the number of artillery is far more than that of the sailing fleet.
This steam battleship is divided into three layers, each layer is covered with artillery, dense black muzzle, people will be frightened at first glance.
When these muzzles fired at the same time, the ship would retreat a few meters in the opposite direction due to recoil.
Hundreds of artillery shells flew out and fell into the fleet of the Ming army.
A large number of shells hit the ships of the Ming army, and the exploded shells took away as many as three to four hundred people in an instant.
The terrifying killing immediately caused the Ming Jun to panic and quickly searched for shelter to escape.
However, this kind of bunker can only protect them to a certain extent, and is not invincible, and even the protective effect is relatively ordinary.
"Rush to me for a battle, defeat them, the steamship team, and we will be able to win this battle."
Zheng Zhihu hurriedly ordered.
Compared to the sailing warships that were at war in front of him, the steam fleet of the Chinese Army was even more afraid of him.
Because this fleet can be very flexible, it can always be on their side for artillery harassment.
If this steam engine fleet is not defeated or restrained, and if they still bombard and harass their headquarters, it will cause them great distress.
Part of the fleet left the main force and headed for the steam engine fleet of the Chinese Army.
At the same time, some of their ships equipped with artillery are also engaged in sporadic shelling resistance.
However, this sporadic resistance did not have much impact on Dahua's steam fleet.
The second wave of shells fired, and there was another wailing scream in Daming's fleet.
Hundreds of people were killed and wounded in one shelling, and this killing speed was too fast.
Some unlucky ships would be reimbursed for nearly half of the soldiers as long as they were hit for a few consecutive shots. Among the remaining people, some had fallen into a collapse, and some even chose to jump into the sea.
"General, you can't stand and be beaten like this, adjust the course, add a little change of direction, increase the difficulty of the enemy's aim, and more or less reduce some losses."
His subordinates persuaded.
Zheng Zhihu, who had already panicked, adopted them one by one, and he was also bewildered by the two waves of shelling by the Chinese Army.
In previous naval battles, shelling has always been only an auxiliary means because of the insufficient lethality of shells.
What really decides the outcome of the battle is to rely on the side battle.
This also caused Zheng Zhihu to have an inherent concept in his heart, and he didn't look down on it, and he didn't care much about the role of artillery.
But at this time he discovered that shelling alone seemed to be enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
If the Chinese army continued to fight at this level, after more than a dozen rounds, his fleet would collapse and escape due to excessive casualties.
"These sons of a bitch, where did you get so many cannons."
Zheng Zhihu cursed.
It is extremely difficult for them to build a qualified cannon in Fuzhou, and it is too expensive to make it out of bronze. It is easy to explode the chamber with iron, which is very dangerous.
Therefore, he couldn't imagine and understand how Dahua's cannons were obtained.
After the scolding, Zheng Zhihu could only give orders to change the direction of the ship while it was moving, not to go in a straight line, it was easy to be targeted.
Simple to say but difficult to do.
With so many ships concentrated in this sea area, the direction of any one ship will affect the course of another ship.
If you control it well, there can be surprises, and if one is not well controlled, two ships will collide together.
Braking on water is much harder than braking on land.
Their struggle played a little bit, and the Chinese army's hit rate dropped a little bit.
However, its damage is still great, and it is still not in the range they can tolerate.
At this time, they could only endure, waiting for the containment force that had already set off to rush to the steam fleet.
