After more than twenty days of tossing, everything that should be gone has left, and what that should be come is coming.??                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                �

Zhao Bing knew that Kublai Khan had controlled more resources after he captured Jiangnan and had the ability to form a large army to set up an expedition at any time. In history, he had wars against Japan twice, dispatched thousands of warships and 100,000 soldiers. Of course, this happened after the battle of Yashan completely eliminated the Song Dynasty's exiled government. But if he failed to die in Yashan as he wished, these forces would probably be used on himself.

Limited by Qiongzhou's resources, Zhao Bing knew very well that he could not build a naval army that matched the number of the Yuan Dynasty. He could only find ways to overcome the number of the number with quality advantages. With his understanding of this history, the Yuan army would start the battle to attack Qiongzhou next year to cut off the Song Dynasty's escape route, so he didn't have much time left for himself. It was imminent to improve the combat effectiveness of the navy in a short period of time.

Modern people understand that the Mongolians have brought the tactics and weapons of the cold weapons era to the extreme. If they want to completely defeat them, they can only show the heat-exhibited weapons. The heat-exhibited weapons originated from the alternation of the Song and Yuan dynasties, but after hundreds of years of development, they were able to be perfected and completely replaced the cold weapons. Zhao Bing was not stupid enough to think that he was really a god, able to complete hundreds of years of leaps, and cultivate the scientific and technological tree as high as Mount Everest.

In his previous life, Zhao Bing thought that it was very simple to build a primitive iron-shelled ship, but he only realized how difficult it was eight hundred years ago. There was no modern machinery first, and it could only be done by hand. Even if he found a craftsman, it was still a question whether the most basic materials needed could be used; even if he overcame many difficulties and built an iron-armed ship and equipped an army, how to drive it? Isn’t it too funny to drive it with oars and sails?

Even though all difficulties have been overcome and military modernization has been achieved, it has made officers with cold weapons era strategies and tactical ideas to command operations, which is tantamount to handing over a Mercedes-Benz train to a driver who can only drive big cars. The result is also a disaster. God who is thinking about the indefinite thoughts and hopes are useless. Thinking about now, he has embarked on the road of no return and has dragged these tens of thousands of people into the water. Zhao Bing feels that it is not waiting for me, and he must come up with a feasible way to solve the current crisis...

"Based on the status quo. Fly over and over!" Zhao Bing suddenly laughed. This sentence was written on the walls of the streets and alleys in his previous life. He thought it was very funny at the time, but now he thinks it makes sense. Maybe this is called a crisis!

Warships are the carrier and platform for naval combat. The quality of the warships is related to the success or failure of water wars. This is also the area that Zhao Bing is most familiar with, so he decided to start by transforming warships. Although the structure and differences between ancient and modern warships are very different, they are still in line with their roots. The principle is still the same, especially since he has many years of experience in making ancient ship models, he is still confident in this regard. Since Zhao Bing traveled through time, he has always had a special liking for turtle ships after two encounters, so he wanted to build the Song Dynasty version of the turtle ship based on it.

But Zhao Bing still faces a time issue. As an experienced engineer in his previous life, he knew that a new ship would take a long cycle from design, finalization, to manufacturing and trial sailing, and even take several years. Now he owns the model of a turtle ship, which is completely made according to proportion. The design link can be skipped, but it still takes time to completely build a new ship, especially in the current era of full manual manufacturing technology and methods, so it is a relatively appropriate way to transform the existing ship.

Zhao Bing now has many ships on hand. It was not the time when he was in Jiazi Town that he was worried that he could not even take away his own people. After arriving in Guangzhou, he confiscated and seized a batch of ships. Now there are more than 700 ships in size, and of course there are many civilian ships. However, in this era, civilian ships and warships used basically the same hulls, only the superstructure and configuration are different, and they can be used without even the need for transformation. Even among the naval forces led by the court, there were many civilian ships requisitioned and merchant ships stolen from Quanzhou as warships.

The warships owned by the General Administration Army can basically be divided into three categories: maritime combat ships, inland combat ships and river and sea warships, including sea falcons, tower ships, turtles, fish ships, sea ships, multi-padded boats, multi-padded flying river ships, red horses, white harriers, thousand-stone ships, spear ships, horse ships, loach ships and other special ships, as well as special ships such as vehicles, bottomless ships, fire ships. Similarly, these ships are different in uses and structures, and are not all used to transform into turtle ships.

Zhao Bing first discharged ships with special purposes, and then the Thousand Stone ships and sea ships. Due to the changes in the form of water war in the late Southern Song Dynasty, all parties in the war paid attention to the enlargement of the ships in order to carry more soldiers and increase collision capabilities. However, the size of the ships was too large to reduce the mobility and degree of the ships. The battle they faced was based on Qiongzhou, and the turtle ships used raids as their main combat method. Strong mobility was necessary, so they could only abandon these large warships. After several screenings, Zhao Bing only had three alternative ships left:

The first is the turtle. It is covered with raw cowhide, with open mounts and hulls on both sides, and there are crossbow windows and spear holes on the left and right front and back, so that the enemy cannot get close, and the arrows and stones cannot attack, so they are fast and fast. It can be seen that the warships are the most similar to the turtle ship. There is a 'armor' made of cowhide on the back, which is powered by oars and oars, and arrow windows on all sides are used for attack. It is fast, and raids are the main combat method. However, due to the emphasis on the mobility of the ship, the turtle ships are mostly small-shaped warships with limited load capacity;

The other type is a multi-pad boat. Its style is the bottom of a lake boat, a warship cover, and a sea boat head and tail. Its characteristic is that it is shallow draft, and it is said that although it can be transported by a ruler of water, it can be widely used in coastal and internal waters. It also has the advantages of fast tempo, no matter how wind is, and it is as fast as it is.
