I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 861 Make Contributions at This Time
The entire ship has a deck area of ​​nearly [-] square meters.

What is the concept of [-] square meters? Even if only one person can stand on a square, eight hundred people can stand on the deck alone.

Of course, the bow and stern of the hesitating treasure ship are raised high, only the middle part is sunken.

So the real places where people can stand are actually only the two high-level decks at the bow and stern, and the middle deck area.

But even so, there is still no sense of crowding with three or 400 people on the deck fighting against the enemy at the same time.

The raised parts at both ends of the treasure ship are generally the residences of the captain and middle-level cadres, as well as important workplaces.

Things like war rooms, storage rooms, etc.

Both ends have access to the lower level, and the first level of the lower level is where the cannon and ammunition are stored.

Below is the crew's residence, where they rest.

And at the bottom is the place where necessary living materials such as ballast, supplies, food, and fresh water are stored.

Of course, this is just the basic structure of a warship.

In Zheng He's Western Fleet, the ships were actually divided into different public use.

There are "horse boats" that are responsible for fast maneuvering, "grain boats" that are specially responsible for transporting food, "water boats" that specialize in water storage, and "boats" that are similar to warships!
The rest are the most basic type of comprehensive warship, and the large treasure ship as Zheng He's main ship.

The so-called comprehensive battleship is actually the current battleship of Chen Hong and others.

It not only has the navigation and combat capabilities of inland rivers and seas, but also has multiple functions of ammunition storage, personnel transportation, and long-distance navigation.

It can be said that it is the main force of the main force of the Ming Dynasty fleet, the backbone of the fleet, and the master of the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, Zheng He's flagship, a 48-foot-tall treasure ship, has amazing combat effectiveness at sea, but because of its huge size, it cannot adapt to various complex combat missions.

Therefore, the actual uses of large treasure ships are not as many as imagined. The main purpose is to show the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty and show the peak shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Hao's grade is very young, and he is still very shallow in terms of experience and knowledge.

In his opinion, a ship on a river that is more than 20 meters long, five or six meters wide, and has a load of five or six hundred tons is already very large.

But that kind of ship is the same as the warship specially used for combat in front of him, and it is simply the grandchildren's generation.

And even if it is the kind of ship that is used for both commercial and cargo purposes, there is not one in the entire Yizhen Thousand Households.

They usually train, and they can only use those few boats, which are dilapidated and have been repaired countless times.

Jiang Hao, who boarded the treasure ship, was like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. He felt that everything was fresh, and he wished that his eyes would grow on it and not be taken off.

But Chen Hong was still waiting ahead, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to move on.

In fact, he and Chen Hong have the same official position, they are both Qianhu, and even because Yizhen Qianhu is a special guard, it seems to be a little bigger than Chen Hong in terms of power.

But in fact, this is like the commander of a mechanic in later generations is the same as the commander of an infantry division.

The commander of an infantry division can be a mid-level general at the colonel level, but the commander of a mechanic must be a general at the rank of major general or above.

And the Air Force is more so than a mechanic.

In addition, Chen Hong's establishment is even more special, belonging to the imperial conferment, just a title is completely different from Jiang Hao's official position.

To use an appropriate analogy, this is like the thousands of households in Jinyiwei, but it is much more advanced than the thousands of households in the guard.

Even if you see a Beijing official above three or four ranks, you don't need to salute.

So Jiang Hao consciously got a little shorter in front of Chen Hong, and respectfully saluted him.

But Chen Hong smiled but did not accept his great gift.

Instead, he turned slightly to the side, revealing Zhu Zhanji who was sitting on a chair behind him.

The moment he saw this young man in a bright yellow brocade robe, Jiang Hao visibly shook, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee.

said loudly,

"Xiaguanyi Zhenqianhu, Jiang Hao, met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Zhanji got up slowly, came to him in person, held him up, and said with a smile,

"Jiang Qianhu, please hurry up, you will be the protagonists in a few days, and this palace is just the right time for the meeting, it's not as big as this gift."

Jiang Hao's mind was a little messed up at this time, he really couldn't figure out why this majestic prince of Ming Dynasty would condescend to come to this place where no shit.

But there is not much time left for him to think about it.

After the two met, Chen Hong came up to Jiang Hao and said,
"Jiang Qianhu, Mr. Chen has long heard of your unyielding character and fearlessness of power.

I've been looking forward to meeting you face to face for a long time, and have a good time with you. "

Jiang Hao said with a slightly ashamed wry smile,

"General Chen has won the award. The lower official is just a joke. How can he be praised by General Chen!"

Chen Hong laughed,
"Jian Qianhu, you are not more modest than you. In the past, your Yizhen Qianhu House really wanted people, no one wanted money, no money.

But today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here in person, as long as the two of us can do something to make your Yizhen Qianhu famous in the imperial court.

You said, in the future, will anyone dare to deduct the food and wages of your thousand households! "

After hearing this, Jiang Hao blushed a little and said,
"General Chen, is what you said true? If we can really make great achievements this time, no one will dare to deduct the food and salary of Yizhen Qianhu again?"

"Of course, it can be false!"

At this moment, Jiang Hao couldn't stop trembling with excitement, wishing he could step forward and give Chen Hong a big hug.

He held his head high and said loudly with unprecedented confidence,

"General Chen, Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry, although our Yizhen Thousand Households have few people, all of them are heroes.

Although let us take the lead, I promise to help the court and the millions of people along the river to eradicate these water disasters! "

Under the battleship, a group of veterans surrounded also shouted loudly,

"Make military exploits and rebuild Yizhen!"

"Kill the thieves, protect the environment and the people!"

Although it was only the high and low voices of more than a hundred people, it gave people the aura of thousands of troops.

Whether it was Chen Hong or Zhu Zhanji, there was a raging fire in their chests.

"That's very good, His Royal Highness, please give an order to let these veterans board the ship!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said to Jiang Hao solemnly,
"Yizhen guards the Qianhu Office, and Jiang Haoqianhu obeys orders. Now I accept that you are the vanguard officer of this bandit suppression. I will personally lead all the soldiers of Yizhen Qianhu to go out to meet the enemy. Would you like to!"
