Chapter 1403 The largest fleet in history(2/2)

The navy's ships are not only battleships, but also a large number of transport ships.

Among them are a 1,300-ton battleship, two 800-ton cruisers, and three frigates. In addition, there are four coal ships and three supply ships.

In addition to coal ships and supply ships, these warships are actually six warships filled with various supplies!

The above-mentioned immigration ships, merchant ships, and warships add up to a total of forty-three ships. The smallest one has a standard displacement of more than 400 tons, and the largest battleship has a standard displacement of more than 1,300 tons.

The standard tonnage of each ship in the entire fleet is added up, so that the total tonnage of the entire fleet reaches more than 23,000 tons!

Well, it is worth noting that almost every ship in the fleet is full and overloaded. Even the battleships, in addition to carrying supplies, also carry a considerable number of immigrants. To describe it in more practical terms: everywhere

It’s crowded!

This entire fleet carried a total of nearly tens of thousands of immigrants!

Such a large fleet, ready to sail across the ocean, has never appeared before even in the Tang Empire's overseas trade history of more than ten years!

Although in Li Xuan's opinion, this is only more than 20,000 tons, the tonnage of any cargo ship in future generations will be greater than that!

But in this era, more than 20,000 tons almost represent the top navigation force. Even the Spaniards or the Portuguese would find it difficult to organize such a large fleet during non-war periods.

This fleet is not only the largest fleet organized in the history of the Tang Dynasty, but also the immigration operation with the largest number of immigrants at one time. There are tens of thousands of immigrants in the fleet, about a thousand of whom will go to the Sandalwood Islands to enrich their lives.

local population, and carried out agricultural development and construction, building Sandalwood Island into a strategic transit supply station for the empire in the Pacific.

However, more people will continue to live in Xinjinshan in North America after taking a short rest in the Sandalwood Islands.

There were about 4,000 immigrants in the previous Honolulu Islands area, and about 2,000 immigrants in the Xinjinshan area.

If this trip is successful, the total number of immigrants from the Tang Empire on the Sandalwood Islands will exceed 5,000, and the number of immigrants in the Xinjinshan area will also reach more than 10,000!
