Shipbuilding is a major project that consumes money, and many woods must be prepared two or three years in advance.

Lin Hua thought that the Ming Dynasty did not have the strength to build too many large ships now.

Seeing that King Ding didn't say anything for a moment, he was worried that an advanced shipyard would be abandoned by King Ding, so he said:

"King Qiansui, you see that the Netherlands stored so much materials in the shipyard, and could build at least a hundred large ships. It would be a pity if they didn't use them."

In fact, Zhu Cilang was thinking about the problem. The Ming Dynasty was about to enter the era of great navigation, and there were not enough ships now.

Although Batavia and other places were included in the Ming Dynasty, the larger the territory, the less enough merchant ships and warships were.

He knew that the Ming Dynasty is not short of money now, so it was no problem to restart large shipyards.

Zhu Cilang was considering whether he could get shipbuilding funds without reaching out to his father.

"Lin Hua, what ships can you build with hundreds of existing materials?"

Lin Hua hurriedly clasped his fists and said:

"Chites can be built, large merchant ships and warships can be built, and the best warships at present are the Garen ships."

Zhu Cixuan knew that the warships in Western countries are now dominated by Garen ships.

Although there were some iron-armored warships in the Ming Dynasty, they were not only very costly to build, but also very slow to build.

It is impossible to keep up with the development of the Ming Dynasty at the moment. It is of course best if the Medan Shipyard can build the Garen ship.

Since you can build the Garen ship, you can build it with all your might, and there is no problem with the silver.

"Okay, I decided to let the shipyard run, and the workers' labor costs triple on the original basis. Just mention what you need, and I will find a way to make money."

Ding Wang's words almost made Lin Huale faint, and hurriedly told the Chinese workers of the shipyard that Ding Wang was going to rebuild the shipyard.

After Spain established a colony in the Americas, it was necessary to carry large quantities of cargo and soldiers across the Atlantic Ocean.

The main sea ships at that time - the Nauha and the Calaville ship - were no longer competent for such heavy tasks. The Spanish "Galen" ship combined the advantages of these two types of ships and was therefore well-known.

It usually has 4 masts, two masts on the front are hanging sails, and two masts on the back are hanging sails. The standard length is 46 meters-55 meters, the displacement is 300-1,000 tons, and there are several layers of uniform decks, and the tail building is very high.

The large Galen stern deck has 7 layers, a displacement of 2,000 tons, a draft of 8 meters, and has good endurance. It is the largest sea boat in the world for a long time.

In the ocean-going naval battles, the three-masted rowing sailboats in the Mediterranean were too poorly navigable to play a role in the ocean because of their poor seaworthiness. On the Atlantic Ocean, the old "carrak" sailboats and other ships at that time were too high to attract wind, making the ship difficult to operate when facing the wind.

Sir Hawkins saw this and lowered the height of the bow and stern, especially the forecastle, while also replacing the original round stern with a square stern.

This new design ship has a relatively narrow and long shape, fast speed, and excellent maneuverability in the wind.

The majestic "carrak" sailboat of the Spanish Empire Invincible Armada was also due to its poor maneuverability.

In the naval battle in July 1588, he was defeated by the British fleet with the smaller tonnage "Galleon" (galleon) sailing warship as the main force.

This naval battle marked the decline of Spanish maritime hegemony and the rise of the British Empire.

The great success of the Galen-type ship made it a standard for design for warships, including battleships, until the end of the sailing era.

Among them, the requirements for navigation and firepower are overwhelming conditions so that they can seize favorable positions and exert advantageous firepower during combat.

In the 17th century, the main sailing ships in the British-Dutch war were all of the same low-side and cross-saids, and the two sides were equipped with cannon artillery. Many such ships were lined up in a long row to exert the firepower advantages of the two sides.

In the mid-16th century, Clark sailing was improved, which is now known as Garen sailing.

The design of Galen sailing ship gives it more maneuverability and greater seaworthiness.

The front hut was transferred to the tail of the bow, and the bowsprit [a sail mast protruding from the bow post, on which the back cable used to tie the foremast] was fixed to its front.

A new structure, the bow is built in the space below the bowsprit from the front of the front of the front tower to the bow, where it is located.

This area is used as a toilet for crew members, and even today, the word bow in maritime terms still means toilet.

Galen Sailboat also added unique stern lookouts, platforms or balconies on the stern or stern side of some early ships].

This is an open platform surrounding the entire stern, and later it became part of the captain's residence.

Several countries claimed that they invented the Galen Sailing Ship.

By the mid-16th century, most sailing countries quickly adopted Galen sailing ships and made changes to their designs according to their respective needs.

Galen sailboats are divided into three representative sizes: small (100-400 tons), medium (500-800 tons), and large (900-1200 tons)

The British, Spanish, French, Danes and Dutch all developed their own unique designs.

In the UK, the wall panels of the lower hull are penetrated, so that heavy artillery can be placed on the lower deck.

The plump appearance that follows the Clark sailing ship was modified so that the length of the keel was three times the width of the ship.

The structure of the ship building was simplified, especially the front ship building, which was greatly reduced in size in the mid-17th century.

The British preferred small Garen sailing ships of 300 to 500 tons.

The Spaniards used some 1,200-ton behemoths in the fleet that transported treasures.

When people think of Garen sailing, Spain immediately comes to their minds.

The reason why Spain is so closely linked to Garen sailings.

Perhaps it was simply because from the mid-16th century to the late 17th century, Spain wholeheartedly adopted the Garen sailing ship as its primary choice for its ocean-going cargo ships and warships.

Besides that, when considering the Spanish and Garen sailings, we certainly think of the Treasure fleet.

The Spanish Garen sailboat full of treasures from the New World will always inspire our imagination and entangle our thoughts.

These treasure fleets are called flota [Spanish, Fleet].

In the early days of Spain's three centuries of New World rule, the treasure fleet had developed and became an integral part of the economic system.

It can be said that before the Ming Dynasty's Iron Armored Battleship was born, the Garen ship was definitely the most important battleship in the world.

Zhu Cijiong was of course very happy to hear that Lin Hua and the others could actually build the Garen ship.

"Lin Hua, don't worry about anything else. Just lead the workers to build ships. I will hand over this shipyard to you. Tomorrow, I will prepare 100,000 dragon coins for you, and the workers' wages will be increased.

You should be more careful about the Netherlands people in the shipyard and do not easily hand over important things to them.

All the dirty work will be left to them, and then I will send a guard to the shipyard."

"Abide by the order"

"Thank you, King Ding Qiansui!"

Zhu Cijiong stretched out and helped Lin Hua up and handed him a drawing.

"Father, the emperor, Shengming, knows that there is a shipyard here, and I will give this king a drawing before leaving. I don't understand the specific situation. You just follow the drawings."

Lin Hua took the drawings and suddenly showed surprise in his eyes:
Chapter completed!
