Chapter 164 The Fleet Departs for the Great Battle
Chapter 164 The fleet sets off and the war is about to begin! (Please vote for monthly votes!)
The so-called Nanyang Fleet is actually composed of the Jia family fleet as the backbone, plus some ships seconded from several inland waters in the south of the Yangtze River.
In Jia Lian's plan, the biggest function of this Nanyang fleet is actually only used as a transport ship.
Although I don’t want to admit it, Daqing’s seaship technology and artillery technology were indeed far from that of Western countries!
At this time, the people of Daqing had very close contacts with merchants from Western countries. As Jia Lian's identity, it was not difficult to send people to explore the information of Western countries.
The general displacement of mainstream warships in Western countries during this period had reached about 1,200 tons, more than 60 meters long, with double-layer or even three-layer cannons, which could carry more than 60 12-pound, 24-pound or even 36-pound cannons.
The heavy artillery with 36 pounds of projectiles is almost the upper limit for all artillery fired projectiles in this era.
If such data are almost the same as Jia Lian’s previous life in the 17th century, then the next step is a completely different trend regarding the extraordinary system of the knights in Western countries.
The original inheritance of the extraordinary system of the Knights of Faith comes from the famous Knights Templar!
As for where the practice of the Knights Templar comes from, it is no longer possible to find out, the general saying is passed down by their God, the Lord.
The practice of these Templars at the first level is similar to that of Daqing martial arts. They all require years of hard work to train their bodies until their physical indicators reach the limits of the human body.
However, if you want to advance to the second level, you still need to practice and hone your spiritual will to bear the mysterious power of faith given to you by God, the Heavenly Father.
This is also the origin of the rumors of countless ascetic monks in Western history. There are even many faith knights who have not been able to practice their bodies and have not been able to complete their practice. Even if they practice hard for a lifetime, they will not be able to bear the power of faith and can only end up in depression.
After the second-level faith knights inherit the power of faith, they use the secret techniques of knights of their respective schools to refine the power of faith as their own "fighting energy", and use it to attach weapons or themselves to strengthen their combat capabilities.
The second-level faith knight has been able to use the "Fight Qi Slash" method of using the "Fight Qi Slash" to release the Dou Qi, but it cannot last for consumption reasons.
There is also the second-level faith chivalrous spirit, although it is as solid as a rock, it has not undergone extraordinary transformation and cannot control the "Fighting Qi" energy in detail.
In the second stage, the "Fighting Qi Slash" technique is not outstanding in the power of a very small number of secret tactics of the top knight genres, and it consumes a lot. It is just that the visual effect is extremely amazing and is very suitable for showing off.
However, when the faith knights advance to the third level, their spiritual will will also undergo an extraordinary transformation similar to the will of the Daqing warriors to condense martial arts. Not only can the body carry the refined power of faith, but the degree of solidification of the "fighting energy" after the condensation will also increase greatly.
It is almost the difference between water vapor liquefied into water, which also allows third-level faith knights to have various extraordinary abilities that are completely different from mortals, similar to martial arts masters.
Not only is the most basic Dou Qi Slash greatly increased its power, but it is just a casual time to cut steel and iron, becoming a regular combat move for the faith knight of their level, even the cool ability of "Dou Qi Wing" can be easily used.
A few hundred years later, the third-level Templar and priest who can transform into wings of energy play the role of "angel" in the Holy See!
The Knights of Faith were originally the only force support of the Holy See, but later due to various changes, they spread to major forces in the Western continent.
After many evolutions, it took hundreds of years to develop into what it is today.
Nowadays, the people who can become third-order knights of faith all come from noble families without exception. As for ordinary civilians and free people, second-order knights of faith are their limits.
Because you need a huge amount of faith power as support for advancement to the third-level faith knight, and the prerequisite for gaining a large amount of faith power is that you must have territory!
You have to support a large number of leaders who believe in you...
Western aristocracy first forged their own family heralds and symbols and holy objects with secret techniques and various precious materials, and then forced the people to pray every day and even every meal. In the prayer, in addition to the God who fixedly pointed to the Holy See, there are also exclusive alternatives to the local aristocratic families.
The role of the nobles' emblems and holy objects of various families is to collect and transform these powers of faith that point to one's own family.
The West even derived an extremely complicated science - aristocratic essay!
Doing so will inevitably allow the Holy See to share some of the power of faith, but who can make the Holy See the strongest?
The ability to force the Holy See to recognize the existence of the knight system of faith in various countries was the result of the rare unified front of major European powers and the Holy See torture for more than ten years.
In addition, Western artillery technology also began to improve by leaps and bounds at that time, because at that time, the most cost-effective solution was to curb the high-level combat power of the Holy See's church.
The probability of the birth of the third-level faith knights now basically depends on the size and richness of the nobles' respective territories, as well as the quality of the people they feed.
But Jia Lian vaguely felt that with the rise of the Western capital class, this situation was probably changing quietly!
I believe that after that, those who have tried every means to gather a large number of workers and large factory owners, will definitely not miss the opportunity to get involved in such extraordinary power!
The Western aristocrats and capitalists are afraid that a new reshuffle will come soon. I wonder if Jia Lian has the chance to see the music in it with his own eyes...
In addition, it is said that the priest also has the most core first-level body-building technique, which can cultivate the human body into a "battery" that is more suitable for carrying the power of faith, thus becoming a remote extraordinary system similar to a mage - the "priest"!
Compared with the Knight of Faith, the priest is better at using spiritual magic, light and auxiliary magic, and is a versatile player.
Although the priests are much weaker than the knights of faith and have various shortcomings, they are an important pillar of the Holy See's current status.
Especially the priests’ signature healing spells are the capital that the Holy See has always stood firm in front of the major Western kingdoms and has all the advantages!
This seems to be the exclusive ability of the special holy weapon of the Holy See, "God", which is the strongest empire in the sun that never sets in the Western countries, the "Sword in Stone" cast by the Knight King Arthur of the British Empire cast by the British Empire.
Of course, the Stone Sword of Knight King Arthur also has its own unique bonus ability. As for what is the specific attribute, we still need to continue to inquire.
The extraordinary "holy tools" of Western countries are different, and the ability to discriminate beliefs within their respective systems is also different.
As for the relevant information about the existing fourth-level legendary powerhouse in the West, Jia Sidao did not find out. He only knew that the recently recorded in Western history was the Knight King Arthur, who should be a very clear legendary powerhouse.
...
In addition, the West has already had a collision event between firearms such as guns and knights of extraordinary powers. The result is that high-precision self-generated flintlock guns such as Peruvian guns have a considerable lethality for knights of faith who are still in the first-level body-forging practice.
Basically, hitting two or three shots can solve these initial faith knights, but facing the second-level faith knight who has initially embraced extraordinary, this single-shot musket with a range of only 200 meters is not so ideal.
For the second-level faith knight who has condensed the "fighting spirit" and can attach this unreasonable extraordinary power to the surface of the body to protect bullet attacks and increase his own speed, it is not a big problem if he only fires a musket, as long as he does not get hundreds of shots in a very short time, it will be a big problem!
Ordinary people have completely entered the extraordinary existence when dealing with this type of person, and they can only use cannons!
Small cannons such as 6-pound cannons and 12-pound cannons will be enough to kill them as long as they hit them.
As for the faith knights who have advanced to the third level, the only way ordinary people can threaten them is the 24-pound cannon and the 36-pound cannon.
There is also a dramatic episode here, that is, compared to the rear-mounted rifled cannon that has just appeared, the smoothbore cannon with a greater deviation is more threatening to the third-level big knight.
Because of this level of faith knights, their spiritual will have already undergone extraordinary transformation and generally have an extraordinary sense similar to intuition. The big knights can often sense the shells fired by their opponents in advance to avoid them.
On the contrary, the smoothbore gunners who even don’t know where they are aiming are threatening to the third-level faith knights!
It is said that the third-level knights who were the coachman on the sea were defeated in such a confused manner to the Kingdom of England...
Perhaps it is because these great knights who rely too much on the power of faith may only be more sensitive to the eyes of the same human beings.
Their so-called spiritual will that has undergone extraordinary transformation should be different from the true meaning of the martial arts of the Daqing warriors.
At least the abilities of the innate masters of martial arts that are found in the whim are all derived from the laws of heaven and earth in the dark, and they will never be helpless when dealing with attacks like smoothbore cannons.
"So how many innate master powers do the Nanyang area, including India, English, Portugalia, the Netherlands, Francis and Castile Teeth have?
Are there any legendary powerhouses?"
"General, there should be more than 15 masters in these five Western countries that are equivalent to the innate master level around the Southeast Asian countries. As for the legendary powerful people, no one has yet to discover them.
My subordinates heard that the barbarians themselves fought each other in the Western land for years, but they were afraid they might not be willing to put such an important power of the legendary power in the South China Sea thousands of miles away."
"Well... there are some truths, but you are prepared for any trouble. Let Changgong take Dahei and follow the Nanyang Fleet together this time!
My first overseas conquest in Daqing is only allowed to win but not lose!”
"yes!"
...
There are thousands of sails in Tianjin port. The Daqing Nanyang Fleet, headed by nearly 50 sea ships about fifteen meters long, is ready to go.
In some places where the waves keep rising and falling, huge black and white dolphin fish that are rising and falling jump out of the sea in groups, then smash down heavily, splashing water.
"Yeah~"
From time to time, there were pleasant sounds of whales, which was the 300 killer whales team responsible for the escort mission later.
The artillery of the Daqing fleet is indeed not as good as that of the Western countries, nor even as with some large pirate forces that have been rampant in the ocean all year round.
Without these "ancient human allies", those in the South China Fleet who have some understanding of Western countries would be really scared.
Now, looking at the ocean monsters that are thirty or four feet away in the distance, the people on the fleet and on the shore feel a sense of security.
Now the killer whale team is led by the adult Xingxing. This half-large killer whale discovered by Jia II's soul in the early years has grown into a 16-meter-long behemoth with the continuous feeding and training of the Jia family!
With the careful guidance of a water innate master in Jia Lian's army, Xingxing's current martial arts realm is equivalent to a martial artist at the peak of the acquired realm.
However, this acquired martial artist is almost unprecedented, and there may not be any future generations. It can be said that the scorpion poops, the only one!
[Blue Dragon Jade] I came back to visit it some time ago. This "little guy" has a body of innocent qi, which can no longer be described as thick. The huge ocean of true qi in its body is at least twenty times more than the peak acquired warrior of the same level!
Jia Lian is now looking forward to what kind of surprises will be when Xingxing, the killer whale, breaks through the third-level innate master, or even the legendary realm in the future.
The Nanyang Fleet, from the Jiangnan Camp and the Yunnan-Guizhou border troops, which are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, has all been boarded.
The fleet finally slowly drove off the coast with a shout of long live on the shore of Tianjin Port, and accelerated to the south under the escort of the Killer Whale Team.
On the main ship, Liu Changgong was sitting aside, listening to the strategic layout and tactical discussions of the fleet generals like an outsider.
The main general of the Nanyang Fleet this time was Xie Yun, a Fenyang Bo, who was born in the founding lineage of nobles. He was one of the few people in the founding lineage of generals who knew about military affairs.
Niu Jizong, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, needed to sit in the Jiangnan Camp, so the candidate for the main general who went to Nanyang naturally fell on Xie Wan.
The Daqing Nanyang Fleet launched a banner to retaliate against the Luzon four massacres created by the Castiles, and to take back the rule of the inner Nanyang islands, including Luzon.
Therefore, this time the South China Fleet's troops were directed to Manila on the west coast of Luzon, because the Castile's Governor's Palace in the South China Sea was in Manila!
It was run by Castile Gardin for many years and has already established a huge cluster of castles and forts, which is the hardest bone to crack in this era!
Moreover, the nearby Manila Bay is one of the best ports among several large islands around it, and most of the warships of the Castiles in the Far East are docked here.
Occupying Manila Bay and destroying the Governor's Palace of Castile is equivalent to cutting off all the tentacles of Castile in Southeast Asia!
This monthly ticket seems to have been cut in half. Is it because I didn't ask for a ticket?
