(Second update)

This warship is a building ship, which is about the same size as Li Luo's "Success" and has about a thousand materials (500 tons).

It is nearly fifty meters long, more than ten meters wide, and nearly twenty meters high. The mast is very majestic.

Li Luo and others walked around the ship for a long time, and then they realized that the warship was just like a tower ship, not a real tower ship.

The tower ship is generally triple, but this tower ship only has two floors, and the upper layer is used to set masts and sails.

There are few sails on the tower ships, and they mainly rely on manpower to maneuver and water turbines. Therefore, although the tower ships were the best fighting fortresses in ancient water wars, they had already declined during the Song and Yuan dynasties because of their poor mobility.

But this tower ship simply sacrificed one floor of space to design three large sails. Although the three-dimensional attack performance of the hull has been greatly reduced, the mobility has been greatly increased. The center of gravity has been much lower and the stability has been enhanced.

Moreover, it is a watertight cabin and a sharp bottom. This is clearly the child born by Dad Lou Chuan and Mother Fu Chuan.

Originally, the tower ship was not sharp bottom, had a high center of gravity and poor mobility, so it could only sail in rivers and coastal areas, making it difficult to gallop across the ocean.

But this warship can obviously sail from ocean. It already has the shadow of Zheng He's treasure ship in later generations, and it is even somewhat like the sail battleship in later generations.

Li Luo was a little confused. He remembered that the medium and large warships of the Southern Song Dynasty included the sea falcon, the sea loach, the vehicles and ships, all of which were standard warships with hundreds of crew members and displacement of hundreds of tons.

But such a warship is a bit like a little bit!

Could it be...

Li Luo thought about it and suddenly understood.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the early Ming Dynasty, China's warships moved from rivers to the sea and have been constantly developing and progressing.

The invention of the rudder, the invention of the sail, the invention of the watertight compartment, and the invention of the compass... are all contributions to China.

Why was the most advanced Zheng He treasure ship in the Ming Dynasty?

It’s not that the Ming Dynasty people were so powerful, but that they had the technical accumulation of their existence during the Southern Song Dynasty.

In other words, if the Southern Song Dynasty did not perish, it would naturally create Zheng He's treasure ship and sail battleship.

However, because of the destruction of the Mongol Yuan, this process was interrupted and the technological change came to an abrupt end.

There should be many of this warship at the end of the Song Dynasty, all of which were semi-finished Zheng He treasure ships. They may be only ten or twenty years away from evolving into a real treasure ship.

But after Yashan, this gradual evolution suddenly stopped.

"The demise of the Song Dynasty, not to mention the nation, even from the perspective of human civilization, is a huge regret."

Li Luo thought to himself.

The weapons on this warship include ship crossbows, cannon cars, and large equipment such as slap poles, all of which are set on the upper deck.

The lower layer is a dense attack window.

Both floors have female wall battle grids, which are not only used for defense, but also for fire crossbows. Li Luo found that the ship was also covered with leather, which should be used to protect fire attacks.

A compass and a chart were also found on the ship.

"The owner of the camp, this kind of warship is called Hailong. It has been built for only five or six years. It was a new ship from the Quanzhou Shipyard in the Song Dynasty." Commander of Haiyong Liu Tuo took the initiative to explain.

Li Luo nodded, "It's indeed a new ship."

Liu Tuo was an officer of the Song army's naval division before. He was still in the army a few years ago, so he naturally knew about this.

Li Luo secretly said that he was lucky, but fortunately he did not have a naval battle with Han Gong, otherwise, this warship would have been able to send him to the bottom of the sea.

But now I'm cheaper.

In addition to this warship, there are two large merchant ships, both of which are of thousands of materials (500 tons).

The remaining nine are small and medium-sized ships, including warships and merchant ships.

With these captures, Li Luo owned 17 ships of all sizes and sizes!

It is now possible to form a large fleet.

However, this warship must not be taken back.

Only by temporarily driving to the east of the sea and not being able to drive near the coast, otherwise, when encountering the Yuan army navy, not only will the ship be detained, but the people will be arrested.

Li Luo entered Han Gong's Jue Room (command cabin) and discussed the matter with Hu Gu, Liu Tuo and other generals, and soon issued an order.

First, the warship was named "Zhiyuan", and the commander of Haiyong Liu Tuo was temporarily appointed as the captain. The other two large merchant ships, named "Fengshou" and "Xianxing".

Second, the heads of Haiyong Liu Tuo, Zheng He, together with Wanyan Guangxia, commanded the "Zhiyuan" and "Hong Kong". They led 700 soldiers and "escorted" more than 1,700 miners and women to immigrate to Haidong.

All other ships, people, money and goods were returned to Goryeo.

With the order, everyone arranged to load the ship, and those who were entrusted with the people.

Li Luo ordered to rest on the island for a day.

The next morning, Li Luo grandly buried the fallen soldiers on the island, wrote down their names, presided over the funeral, and wrote "Soldiers of the Dead Luoning Camp" in hand.

Many of the dead were Jurchens who had just arrived some time ago. Not long after they joined the Li family army, they only had enough food for Li Luo for ten days, and died in battle for Li Luo on an unknown island.

"I will record all the names of the martyrs who died in battle. I will give you my own pensions for your parents and children..."

Li Luo said solemnly in front of dozens of new graves. He hopes to have the opportunity to tell their children whether it is worth it or not.

Behind him were more than a thousand soldiers of the Li family army standing quietly, and everyone looked solemn.

Li Luo's performance was obviously beyond their expectations.

The lives of warriors, whether they are official troops or pirates, are not worth their lives.

A warrior dies when he dies. No one will care except his family.

But the camp owner obviously really cared. They were not fools, and they could see what the camp owner thought.

"This small island will be called Zhenhan Island in the future, to commemorate the Jurchens and Han warriors who died in battle here. This island will be my land of China!"

"Transfer the order, carve stones and erect monuments, and the real Han Island of China!"

According to Li Luo's words, this small island that belonged to Japan in later generations "belongs to China".

The absenteeism and women watching nearby, including Ji Sanniang, were watching this scene silently. Many people, for some reason, had the urge to cry.

Li Luo faced the Li family army, pointed at a new tomb, and shouted: "This Zhenhan Island is the new overseas land you have captured, and it is also the place where these dead people have buried their bones!"

"I vow that one day, I will definitely come to this island again to build a sacrificial hall. In the name of Chinese heroes and warriors, I will send people to visit the tombs and sacrifice every Qingming Festival!"

"If one day, some of you become Chinese heroes and warriors, you will have pensions, sacrifices, and remember them!"

Pension, sacrifice to the temple, tomb sweeping, remembering the heroes of the Chinese martyrs?

More than a thousand soldiers were moved together, first dozens, then hundreds, and finally they worshiped together like the wind blowing wheat waves.

"The boss of the camp is Gao Yi, and I am willing to serve the Lord to die!"

"So for the Lord!"

"So for the Lord!"

The deafening shouts moved the sea and the sky, and the large seagulls on the other side of the island flew into the sky.

Finally, more than a thousand absentees not far away and hundreds of women also bowed to Li Luo who was standing in front of the grave of the "Chinese Heroes Warriors".

"waived!"

Li Luo's hands were filled with tears. He was really moved and felt a little guilty.

Is it worth it to die for so many people to be alone?

Maybe not worth it.

Unless this ambition can be worth it if it can support a sky and a lot of people's hopes.
