please make me king

"Rush, rush!" More than a hundred net shuttle boats gathered on the coast near Dagukou.

One by one, like fish, shuttled among the waves, densely occupying the entire sea surface.

With the help of the sea wind blowing and the paddlers' desperate paddling, these net shuttle boats rushed towards the shore quickly.

Soon, these net shuttle boats rushed to the shore, and then ran aground on the beach.

However, the soldiers on the boat were not worried at all. Instead, they jumped out of the boat one by one, stepping on the sea water and the sand on the shore with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

As soon as they stepped on the shore, the soldiers formed a small three-talented formation with three people as a unit, and then continued to charge.

The soldiers stranded on the ship also raised their blunderbuss to shoot at the targets on the shore, and the killing sound shook the sky for a while.

"It still doesn't work!" Seeing that the soldiers quickly captured the fortress on the shore, Zhao Lizi, who was watching from a high place, couldn't help shaking his head.

"Huh? I think it's not bad?" Zhao Liangdong, the general soldier of Tianjin, couldn't help being surprised.

"How is this not bad?" Zhao Lizi pointed to the team and said, "First of all, we can't equip it properly."

"As a naval warfare exploration ship or cruise ship, the net shuttle ship has too deep draft and too few people."

"Not only did it run aground before it got close to the shore, it was easy to damage the ship, and it could only carry four people, not even a five-man soldier."

"The training of all our soldiers is based on Wu as the basic unit."

"Without Wu's establishment, everything would have to start from scratch. Now that the battle in Dongjiang Town is imminent, if we start from scratch, how can we make it in time?"

"Look at these soldiers. After landing, the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers. They are in a mess."

"If you encounter the elite soldiers of Houjin, won't you be wiped out?"

"Uh...Little General Zhao, you are really strict in your military training!" Zhao Liangdong couldn't help laughing awkwardly when he heard this, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

No wonder the Ming army couldn't defeat King Shun's soldiers. If all the generals under King Shun were trained according to this standard, I'm afraid the 2000 men under my command would be no different.

It turns out that in this era of naval landing operations, most of them choose to land in uninhabited places, and then carry out operations.

This is inconsistent with Zhang Shun's method of forced landing operations, so there are no suitable ships in the Tianjin Navy.

The ships that can slightly meet the needs of this kind of landing operations are only the chasing boats and net shuttle boats equipped by the Ming army.

Among them, the chasing boat is a large blessing boat, which is divided into two types, large and small, and can carry between [-] shi and [-] shi.

The medium-sized Zhuang boat, also known as Zheyang boat, was the basic shape of the Ming Dynasty marine tank boat.

Now the rebel army has finally established the Dongjiang and Tianjin routes to trade grain and timber. There is also a severe shortage of such boats and ocean-going boats.

Therefore, after repeated applications by Zhao Lizi, two troop carriers were allocated to serve as the Marine Corps.

The boat is shaped like a shuttle, with bamboo masts and wooden sails. The draft is only seven or eight inches deep. There are three or four people in it. It is equipped with two or three shotguns. The net shuttle boat was also recruited by Zhao Lizi to be used as a landing ship.

It's just that this net shuttle boat is good in everything, but there is one thing, it is difficult to accommodate a team of people, which caused a lot of trouble for Zhao Lizi's command and operations.

"How about, after you apply to Zhang Zizhou, let him help you develop a warship specially used for landing, and return this net shuttle boat to me first?" Zhao Liangdong pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but start another topic.

"Are you kidding me? Not to mention that Zhang Zizhou is very busy. Even if he is busy, he will focus on making bird boats. How could he build this boat for me?" Zhao Lizi shook his head and said.

"I figured it out. If you want to complete this landing operation, you need a flat-bottomed boat!"

It turns out that although the net shuttle boat is small, it is still a sharp-bottomed sea boat structure because it is used at sea.

Although this type of ship is good for sea, inland rivers and lakes, it is easy to run aground and is not conducive to landing operations.

"Flat ship? Isn't that just a sand ship?" Zhao Liangdong was stunned when he heard the words, and he couldn't help saying in a flash of inspiration.

"Hey, don't tell me, the sand boat is really suitable!" Zhao Lizi couldn't help but slapped his thigh when he heard the words, and immediately reacted.

It turns out that this sand boat is a kind of anti-sand flat-bottomed wooden boat used for navigation in ancient China. It has the characteristics of square head, square tip, flat bottom, and shallow draft.

"It's just...it's just that this sand ship can't go to the ocean!" Zhao Liangdong saw that Zhao Lizi was serious, and he couldn't help reminding him quickly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I have a way!" Zhao Lizi pondered for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

"any solution?"

"The big boat carries the small boat, the deep water feeds the boat, and the shallow water releases the boat!" Zhao Lizi pointed to the boat driving road on the sea.

It turned out that after this experiment, Zhao Lizi also had his own ideas.

These small boats used for landing are naturally difficult to cross the ocean, but according to Zhang Shun's idea, it is impossible for the Marine Corps to hang around at the door of the house, what should we do?
Well, since a ship can carry people, it can also carry ships.

That being the case, why not carry it on a big ship and travel across the ocean?
As soon as Zhao Lizi said this, Zhao Liangdong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good idea, good method!"

"Boat, boat, big boat!" Just as the two were talking, a soldier suddenly warned.

"Huh?" The two were taken aback when they heard the words, and quickly looked far away, only to see a mast protruding above the ocean.

"Good guy, here comes a big guy!" Zhao Liangdong, who had quite a bit of sea experience, couldn't help being surprised when he saw this, and quickly ordered.

"The Navy is going to go to sea to intercept. As for the land, I can only entrust it to General Zhao!"

Zhao Lizi experienced a sea battle for the first time, and he couldn't help being both excited and nervous. He quickly ordered his soldiers to drag the net shuttle boat to the shore, and at the same time ordered other soldiers to line up and wait.

After Zhao Lizi finally finished his busy work, he looked up and saw that the big ship was half above the sea level, and Zhao Liangdong also led a blessing boat, two Haicang boats, and four Cangshan boats to meet it.

However, when the two sides approached slowly, after negotiating for a long while, they slowly drove towards the port of Dagukou for some reason.

"General, the ship has issued an order to lift the alert!" At this moment, the flag bearer reported to Zhao Lizihui.

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Lizi was very thoughtful, afraid that Zhao Liangdong would have other considerations and dare not move lightly.

After finally waiting for a group of ships to approach, Zhao Lizi couldn't help being shocked, and was speechless for a long while.

Do you know why?

It turned out that the ship was actually a very large ship, not only decorated with literary talents, but also quite luxurious, and it was set up with five masts and eight sails, spreading out like bird wings.

The boat was more than twenty feet long from front to back, the hull was as tall as a building, and the mast on the boat was so high that it gave Zhao Lizi who was standing in front of him a great sense of oppression.

Although this Zhao Lizi lived on the banks of the Yellow River all year round, he had never seen such a huge ship, and he didn't come to his senses for a while.

After finally regaining his focus, Zhao Lizi looked at it carefully again, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out that while Zhao Lizi was shocked, he also found that although this giant ship was extremely large and luxurious, its main mast had been folded, and its firepower was not very strong. Judging from the exposed gun ports on the side, there were only ten guns. It's just a lot of money to come to the door.

Of course, the most important thing is that such a huge ship has no other ships to guard it.

If a conflict breaks out between the two sides, Zhao Lizi has the confidence to climb forward with his soldiers and seize the ship.

Just as Zhao Lizi was thinking about himself, the giant ship had already moored in the port.

Not long after, Zhao Liangdong, the General Soldier of Tianjin, disembarked from the Fuchuan warship, and led a group of people to come.

"This is." Zhao Lizi looked at Zhao Liangdong suspiciously and asked.

"Hey, I didn't expect that, this is the giant ship Feng Zhou that His Highness wanted to transfer back from Fujian a few days ago!" Zhao Liangdong also looked up and down Feng Zhou with a shocked face, and couldn't help explaining to Zhao Lizi.

"At first, everyone thought that this matter was undoubtedly a fairy tale, but never thought... never thought that the governor of Fujian would send someone to send it over."
