It should be pointed out that the cruiser that Marin refers to is not a missile cruiser with a tens of thousands of tons, but a patrol ship in the era of sailing.
Its status is almost equivalent to the frigates of later generations, and it can also be called an **** ship. According to the division of the British Royal Navy in the sailing era, it should belong to Class V and Class VI ships. These two types of battleships are not large in tonnage. When the mainstream is already a battleship of three or four thousand tons (such as the "Victory"), it is only 600 to 800 tons (five-class ships) or 450 to 550 tons (class six ships). The crew can be up to 250 people (five-class ships) or 180 people (class six ships).
At present, the main battleship of the Beihai Kingdom is actually the later patrol ship. For example, the reference target of the 500-ton warship of the North Sea State is the "Constitution" sail frigate of later generations and the United States. Not to mention that the "Constitution" has a displacement of 2200 tons, but its design pursues speed. It only has a double artillery deck, which is clearly a large cruiser.
This kind of warship that gave up firepower for speed is naturally a fifth- and sixth-class warship after the 18th century. Because, for battleships with three artillery decks, the number of artillery is more than double yours. But in this era, European warships generally only have more than 200 tons. Even if artillery warfare is not the mainstream, this 500-ton cruiser has become the most powerful warship in Europe.
If 10,000 British sailors are recruited, they can use 55 warships to patrol the sea according to the specifications of 180 people per ship. Such a huge fleet can currently hang any country in Europe. The premise is-gunpowder must be sufficient ...
Because, if the whole fleet fires together, the consumption of gunpowder is extremely amazing ...
Fortunately, Marin has ordered the development of Chile's saltpeter. Once the output over there, then Marin is equivalent to the ability to fire infinitely ...
When the time comes, 55 top gunboats are out, let alone clearing off pirates, and rubbing sea powers like Spain and Portugal at the door of the house is easy.
Moreover, in the North Sea country, when the war broke out, Marin could recruit more than 20,000 sailors from the Frisian fishermen and the German fishermen to join the war. But the problem is that fishermen who seem to be in the North Sea are usually busy with their own affairs, and only gather in wartime. If you don't train in peacetime, you might get rusty in wartime. At present, there are only 15 500-ton warships that the Beihai nation usually maintains training preparations for. Other warships and armed merchant ships are usually dissatisfied or go out to pull goods (armed merchant ships).
It can be said that these 10,000 English sailors, Marin intends to be trained as a standing army to serve as a standing armed force to dominate the sea in the future. This idea of army building is already ahead of all Europe. At present, except for the 15 warships in the North Sea, which are often used by forces, other European countries are not often used by the navy.
For example, the maritime power of England hides soldiers from the people. Normally, the English navy had only officers standing and no sailors. Moreover, those naval officers are usually in inland cities such as London. After the war, those officers would set off for the military port, temporarily recruit those large merchant ships, and gather more than 100 large ships and a large number of boats to participate in the naval battle.
Of course, because England encouraged merchant ships to rob French ships. Therefore, the sailors of the merchant ships usually do not lack the opportunity to practice their combat operations, and they will not fail to use them.
But this premise is that naval warfare is still the kind of mode in which jetty gangs cut each other with a knife. If upgraded to artillery battle, those experienced sailors would be blinded. Because they usually have no conditions to practice firing guns on board. After all, artillery and gunpowder are expensive, and gunpowder is so expensive. Those merchant ship owners would never let sailors practice firing.
But the cost of setting up a disengaged professional navy is too high. Even if Marin is rich, he only intends to maintain a fleet of 100 warships to oppress European countries. As for the real sea battle, the merchant ship must be mobilized.
However, the popular Kirk sailing ship in England is not very suitable for the new naval warfare. Therefore, the shipyard established by Marin in Southampton not only builds 50-ton medium-sized fishing boats for loans, but also builds 250-class armed merchant ships. To the English seamen, to adapt their sailors to the new ship. After all, once the naval battle begins, they still need to be recruited for the naval battle ...
...
Marin built a large shipyard in Southampton, and also opened a fishery bank, specializing in lending and selling salt on credit. At the same time, shipyards were established in Dover Port, the Five-Port Union of England, and Plymouth Port in the south west, Bristol Port in the south west, Newcastle Port in the northeast, and Liverpool, which is still a northwest coastal town. And the Fisheries Bank to recruit enough English sailors.
While Marin was in full swing to build a shipyard and recruit English sailors, Angela, who accompanied him to Britain, suddenly began to vomit.
Marlin was taken aback by surprise and took Angela to London to find Matthew Doctor. A pulse, as expected-Angela was pregnant again ...
Angela wept with joy, and since she gave birth to Caesar, she has not been pregnant for more than 10 years. She was desperate herself. Unexpectedly, after the treatment of the great doctor Liu En, she finally recovered her ability to become pregnant.
So, Angela immediately urged to return to the country, so as to carefully care for the fetus. This is a big event, even if Marin has something else, in the face of this big event, he has to give in.
Then, 10 warships gathered in the Port of London again to **** the pregnant woman Angela to return home. Marin also accompanied him on the side and couldn't help comforting Angela.
After returning to Aurich, Marin immediately asked Liu En, a gynecologist, and asked him to take care of Angela's luck. As for Liu En's medical treatment of Angela's infertility, Marin also gave a reward-Liu Jia was promoted to hereditary jazz and entered the ranks of hereditary nobles.
After being promoted to hereditary jazz, Liu En was full of energy and his fighting spirit was even more vigorous. In order to ensure Angela's pregnancy safety, Liu En often not only observed Angela's pulse, but also personally went out to train several midwives in Beihai.
After all, Liu En is a man and it is impossible to get in touch with Angela too much. Therefore, Liu En needed to send several midwives with medical skills to help take care of Angela. Their task is to observe whether the child's birth position in Angela's belly is correct. If it is not correct, you must instruct Angela to correct the fetal position through some special actions.
And Marin was not idle. He also began to work hard to recall some of the main points of maternity in the previous life to ensure the safety of Angela's production.
You know, in this era, women have a gamble to have children. If you are not careful, you will kill two dead. But in later generations, it seems that it is not dangerous to have children ...
"Why is this?" Marin began to look for some fragmentary memories of his previous life ...
At the beginning, he thought of a caesarean section. This can indeed reduce the risk of labor, but the current medical level seems to be more dangerous with cesarean section ...
Suddenly, the term "successful side cutting" emerged from the depths of Marin's memory ...
This term seems to have been inadvertently seen by Marin's previous life when watching an idol drama, but did not pay attention at that time. Because, this idol drama is mainly about a variety of dog blood plots between a few handsome doctors and beautiful bubbling female doctors and female nurses. The delivery of obstetrics and gynecology is just a side story. Therefore, Marin also forgot afterwards.
Until now, Marin recalled such a noun from the depths of memory. It seems that by cutting the side of the childbirth, it can expand the space for the baby when the child is born and reduce the risk of dystocia.
However, cutting this knife seems to be quite demanding. Because, after side incision, it is necessary to stop bleeding in time, and repair it, and pay attention to disinfection. Otherwise, the maternal life will be killed. Therefore, this matter needs to be practiced and proficient before it can be used by Angela.
Fortunately, Angela is not pregnant until now, and is several months away from production. Therefore, Marin has enough time for doctors to try the side-cutting technique ...
And before giving it to people to try ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Marin intends to try it on animals now ... the test is successful, and then further tests on people ...
Then, Liu En and Liu Taiyi were dispatched to the ranch with a group of midwives ...
"What? Let me give birth to cattle and sheep, and what side cuts should I contact?" Liu En, who received the order, was stunned-was this too shameful? The old man is a court doctor, and he treats the nobles. Will you let me be a veterinarian ... and give birth to the cow ewe? Liu En almost scolded his mother on the spot.
Fortunately, Marin offered a high reward-the experiment successfully rewarded 1,000 gold coins, and at the same time, Liu Zan, the second son of Liu En, was sealed as hereditary Sir (Liu En's hereditary Sir was destined to be inherited by eldest son Liu Tai). For this generous reward, Liu En had to pinch his nose to practice delivery for cattle and sheep ...
But Marin knew that it was worth the effort. Because, once the successful side-cutting test is successful, it can not only ensure the safety of Angela's production, but also serve the entire Beihai country.
Once the birth cut is promoted, giving birth to a woman is no longer a ghost. You should know that in this era, the death rate of women giving birth to children is as high as 30%, which is extremely scary. If the study of peripartum obstetrics is successful, many women will survive and continue to give birth ... If there is another Nobel Prize for medicine in this era, it is not an exaggeration to give a perinatal obliquity ...
