After a while, I watched a large ship sailing into the canal from the dry dock. There were both Western-style Galen sailing ships and standard blessed ships. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when the Zheng He fleet’s treasure ship manufacturing skills were lost, Fu ship is the main force of the Daming Navy.

The navy built by Yu Dayou back then was mainly blessed boats, and the battle strength of blessed boats in this era is not bad. According to the information from the Imperial Court, the best blessed boats are about 50 meters long. , Ten meters wide, almost six meters in draft, and six to seven hundred tons of load.

Seeing where the body is not smaller than the Galen boat, it is nothing more than the number of Dafu boats under the command of the Imperial Court.

With sufficient wood materials, Xu Junxian built 12 large ships in many dry docks within the time of walking around, which is already a fleet.

Beijing, the shipyard, used to be really small in scale. It was only used to repair and maintain ships on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. It was also the stimulation of Tong Jian and the others. After the boom of the Western Ocean, the Imperial Court Only after vigorously expanding the shipyard, a large number of young men were sent to dredge and widen the canal.

In this regard, not only the Imperial Court, but also the various noble gentry in the capital, are actively contributing money and efforts to mobilize the people on both sides of the river to work.

I snatched five-six hundred million silver of the goods. This really stimulates the rich man and the miser to know the meaning of open source.

Even if you can’t go to Qi Jiguang’s Beijing camp or enter the Daming Imperial Family Navy, but you won’t form a caravan yourself, will you go to sea with the fleet? When the time comes, whether it is to grab the remaining treasure from the army or make a deal with the Ming fleet, this is a big deal.

If you want to do that, you must make the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal more convenient and make this traffic artery more prosperous.

Compared with future opportunities to make a fortune, it is still necessary to take some money to invest in Early-Stage. Therefore, the operators who were abolished before were originally qualified engineers and construction soldiers. , Used to build houses, now it is to dredge canals, transport wood and so on.

The people are also very enthusiastic. Many children of the people’s family have joined the Beijing camp.

Looking at the majestic fleet traveling, waiting for the shelling to try, Tian Yicai couldn’t help but sighed, “If it weren’t for the loss of Zheng Gong’s treasure ship, the treasure ship that Daming could possess would definitely surpass that of the Franco machine. Ships.”

Zhu Yijun also regretted, “Since I know the general situation of the world, I have been vigorously looking for information on Zheng Gonggong’s treasure ship, but whether it is to look for Liu Great Xia’s descendants, or to read the Yongle Classic , I didn’t find any specific information. It’s a pity.”

Of course, the Ming Yongle Grand Ceremony will record the treasure ship fleet information, but this one is also troublesome.

Yongle Dadian was completed in the sixth year of Yongle, with more than 20,000 volumes and more than 10,000 volumes in the southern capital Wenyuan Pavilion. When Chengzu moved his capital to the north, he only brought part of it to the capital.

In the 14th year of Zhengtong, the southern capital of Wenyuan Pavilion was burnt in a mess. In 36 years of Jiajing, there was another fire in Purple Thorn City. Fortunately, in 41 years of Jiajing, he let Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and the others re-record the Yongle Grand Ceremony.

This is what happened 18 years ago. There are still 8,000 volumes of the Yongle Grand Classic included in Purple Thorn City. Compared with the Yongle era, there are still thousands of books missing.

The information on the 44 feet and 4 feet long real treasure ship described in Zheng He’s treasure ship is a lost information.

Accompanied by the two of them, Xu Junxian laughed, “Although I can’t build at will without detailed information, as long as Your Majesty is willing to encourage all Daming boat craftsmen to innovate various technologies, now It won’t be difficult for the blessed ship to bring forth the new and make bigger and better ships.”

“Over a hundred years ago, Cheng Zu could build such a big ship. It doesn’t make sense for you. These later generations were unable to do it. It was nothing more than that in the past, Daming oppressed the artisans and craftsmen too severely.”

Speaking of this, he also looked at Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei in a playful manner. With layer diversity, the hardest thing in Daming is not business, but workers and peasants.

Under his gaze, Zhang Juzheng paid a decisive and serious salute, “Immortal Monarch Mingjian, I used to be a bit narrow-eyed by the Ming scholar-official class, but since the arrival of Tong Immortal Monarch and the others, various thought storms It has already swept all classes inside and outside the Ming Dynasty.”

“Before Xu Immortal Monarch came, the treatment and living environment of the artisans of my Ming Dynasty had been greatly improved. The cabinet also issued policies to encourage all kinds of private craftsmen. Inventions and innovations, as long as they have real effects, the Imperial Court will not hesitate to award rewards.”

“I see immortals like Xu Immortal Monarch today, who are so proficient in chefs and craftsman skills. Naturally, I dare not look down on craftsmen anymore. “

Da Ming scholar-officials looked down on artisans, and various restraints and suppressions were a century-old tradition. However, when the Western heat started, this matter really changed silently. It was Tong Jian and the Before they came, the living standards of various craftsmen in the Jiangnan area in the early years of Wanli were also greatly improved.

After all, this is an era in which the buds of capitalism are emerging and developing. People with real craftsmanship and technology are still very popular and are hired by various small capitals budding high salaries.

Zhu Yijun is also happy. “Immortal Monarch is right. Even if there is no Yongle Grand Ceremony and the previous treasure ship information, but to encourage craftsmen to innovate and create, I don’t believe in our descendants. On the contrary, it’s not like our ancestors. Glory.”

“Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang, I think we can make a bigger step. If anyone can build the treasure ship of Zheng Gonggong a hundred years ago, the Imperial Court can reward the nobility, the hereditary Earl, if There are many people who have built such a treasure ship. Then separate the Bright Gown Guard and Thousand Households.”

Since the Immortal Monarch came one by one, I look down on the craftsmen and so on. This is already the most The wrong idea is wrong. Didn’t you see that Xu Junxian Immortal Monarch makes food and all kinds of sword utensils? If you still stick to the same viewpoint as before, are you afraid of being killed by a lightning strike by Immortal Monarch? It also makes you stink for thousands of years!

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, the 12 large ships that entered the canal gradually moored on the shore. The people and cargoes in this area of ​​the canal were also cleared by the personnel arranged by the Imperial Court. .

After clearing the field, the artillery was arranged to bomb the ship.

boom~ boom~ ~

Under a close range of less than 100 meters, countless people witnessed that the bronze cannon shells fell on the ship, whether it hit the hull The planks were still hit on the sails. These shells did not hurt the fleet at all.

Don’t talk about tearing up the hull planks or sails. After the shells jumped a few times and finally stopped on the deck or fell into the river, there were no traces of black marks in those places where the shells were hit.

Such an exaggerated effect, looking at everyone, Yu Zigao, the navy general, is even more mad and joyfully said, “For such an immortal ship, if you fight the enemy with artillery, you only need to hide the soldiers. , You can get closer all the way, and even fire the cannon against the forehead of the enemy ship!”

The hull of the shell fired will definitely bring shocking power. If the sailors oscillate close to their bodies, they will be Shocked to death, but you won’t hide further? It’s just a bumpy ship.
