Prince of Chaos

Chapter 379
Speaking of the history of shipbuilding in the Ming Dynasty, it is like a certain concept stock, which is completely open high and low, and it is still in free fall, without a lower limit, and it does not even give a chance to sell, and it falls every day.

During the Yongle period, under the leadership of Zheng He, there were treasure ships in the Ming Dynasty that were invincible in the world, and they made seven voyages to the West, making the Ming Dynasty more powerful than thousands of miles away.

Compared with Zhang Qian who pioneered the Western Regions!
However, the gap between the two is indeed very different.

Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions to open up the Silk Road. This journey took longer and involved more twists and turns than Tang Monk's journey to get the Western Classics.

Many people thought that Zhang Qian had died outside the territory and would never come back.

However, he just came back.

He also brought back novel foods and plant seeds that had never been seen in China at the time.

At that time, China was full of vigor and knowledge, and they did not reject the contact with new things because of the vast land and abundant resources of the heavenly kingdom.

On the contrary, under the active development of the three emperors of Hanwu and Zhaoxuan, this first great geographical discovery in world history was not only carried out vigorously, but also allowed the Western Regions to belong to China for the first time.

It has laid a solid foundation for the future "since ancient times"!

How proud and glorious the Han people were at that time!
When they attacked the Xiongnu, not only did they dare not go south to herd horses, but they also showed the heroic spirit of "one Han wins five Hus"!

In the end, he said it boldly: "Anyone who offends me will be punished even if he is far away"!

Time flies, and thousands of years are running in the long river of history.

However, this time did not bring glory beyond Qin and Han to our country and nation.

On the contrary, in this flowing time, our nation has experienced suffering.

The troubled times between the Wei and Jin Dynasties reduced our powerful nation to two-legged sheep among the barbarians.

Traveling south in clothes, although the fire of the nation was preserved, from that moment on, the imperial line that started from the ancestor of the dragon lost its glory on this land.

At the time of the Sui Dynasty, the collapse of the Chen Dynasty marked the end of the Chinese imperial line for the first time.

As the new unified dynasty, the Sui dynasty originated from the Wei family in Xianbei.

Then, the time passed by thousands of years, and the reborn Chinese imperial line was once again cut off in Yashan!

Bring another hundred years of darkness to this nation!
Over the past hundred years of rule by foreign races, the once proud Han people have become an inferior race that can be bullied.

It wasn't until later that Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was born, with the title of "Restore China and drive out the Tartars", and then once again forged my indestructible Han Empire!
Daming at this time is brilliant, proud, and full of vigor!

The imperial line that started from Zhu Yuanzhang is also the most upright imperial line since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Emperor Hongwu was born in a reckless family, but he did not lose to any thousand-year-old family that changed hands.

Emperor Yongle inherited the power of Taizu, conquered Mongolia five times, and used Zheng He as an envoy to build a treasure ship to sail to the West.

It opened up another great geographical discovery since Hanwu.

Unfortunately, this time, Daming did not seize the opportunity to expand overseas like Hanwu and Zhaoxuan did.

After Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, another great geographical discovery that originally belonged to my magnificent China came to an end.

The Xiyi people began to compare with legends and the road that Zheng He had walked, and started their great era.

And all of this, as the kingdom of heaven, Daming still doesn't know it.

Zhu Changluo asked Xiao Ruxun to come to Tianjin Wei just to let him make a first stand, and let him get acquainted with the current situation of Daming's naval forces at sea.

However, it wasn't until Xiao Ruxun came to Tianjin Weihou that he realized how difficult the job His Royal Highness had given him.

The huge Tianjin Wei unexpectedly has few sea-going ships that can be used.

Although, Niu Delu said that there are more than a dozen sea-going ships.But, I really waited until Xiao Ruxun went to check.

Only then did Xiao Ruxun realize that the dozen or so ships had long since fallen into disrepair.

If a ship like this is really going to be pulled into the sea to fight a naval battle, the result is absolutely unimaginable.

"Is this the sea boat you mentioned?"

Xiao Ruxun questioned Niu Delu.

Niu Delu looked at the floating ship in Tianjin HNA in embarrassment.

He argued: "My lord, you can't blame the humble officials. The humble officials have always been in charge of the canal water transportation in Tianjin Wei, except for the tank boats on the canal, like these sea-going ships, the humble officials don't care."

Xiao Ruxun snorted, "I didn't need to worry about it before, but now I have to. The Japanese pirates were extremely vicious on the Korean battlefield, and they have been transporting troops from the Japanese country to North Korea in an endless stream. If things go on like this, it will definitely affect the situation in the Korean war. His Highness the Crown Prince now This official, Prime Minister Tianjin Wei, set up the Zhili Navy, without ships, what kind of Zhili Navy are we?"

Listening to Xiao Ruxun's words, Niu Delu wiped his sweat nervously.

Niu Delu said: "My lord, our Tianjin Wei is short of sea ships now, but I told my lord before my humble appointment that we don't have sea ships. However, the merchants have them. We can recruit their sea ships as naval ships. , When the battle is over, we will return the ship to them."

Xiao Ruxun stroked his beard, he turned his head to look at Niu Delu, and said, "Is this okay?"

Niu Delu immediately patted his chest and said, "Yes, my lord. We used to do this when the canal was silted up."

When Xiao Ruxun heard what Niu Delu said, he didn't care much about it.

Xiao Ruxun said: "The matter of borrowing the boat will be left to you. Within half a month, I must see [-] large ships docking on this sea route. Ships like this."

As he spoke, Xiao Ruxun pointed to the largest boat in the harbor in front of him.

Niu Delu looked in the direction Xiao Ruxun pointed, his eyes almost went dark!
It was a big ship of [-] materials, and now there are not many shipyards in Ming Dynasty that can build it.

And the sea merchants used the [-] materials of the sea-going ships that were already at their limit.

No matter how big it is, the imperial court will hold it accountable!
However, now that Xiao Ruxun came up, he pointed to a broken boat of [-] materials and said he wanted [-]. Isn't this killing Niu Delu?
Niu Delu screamed, and said with tears, "My lord, you can't do it with a humble job!"

Seeing Niu Delu screaming suddenly, Xiao Ruxun also became a little angry.

Xiao Ruxun asked, "Why can't it be done?"

Niu Delu explained: "My lord, that boat is a big ship of 20 materials. It was built during the Longqing period because of the switch. Later, after Gao Shoufu returned to his hometown, the switch was put on hold. Naturally, a ship like this It has lost its value. The [-]-material boat you see now is actually a semi-finished product. However, it has been soaked in the sea for more than [-] years, and the inside has long been dilapidated and cannot be used. Moreover, such a big boat The imperial court does not allow private building of boats. Therefore, even if a humble official is given a hundred heads, the humble official will get fifty of them."

Xiao Ruxun heard Niu Delu talk about the Longqing court affairs, but he really didn't know about it.

He was born in the northwest and grew up in the northwest.It can be said that he knows nothing about Beijing and China.

If he hadn't made great contributions in Ningxia, he would never have had the opportunity to enter Beijing in his life.

Xiao Ruxun felt that she was a little too strong.

So Xiao Ruxun said: "Since there are no such big ships, then find all the largest ships in Tianjin Wei. If there are less than fifty ships, I will still handle your military law!"

Niu Delu listened to Xiao Ruxun's words, he was so excited that he almost lost his breath.

How can this ship be so easy to sign?Moreover, it was still used as a military ship.

Who can be a maritime merchant without two backstages?
To levy [-] articles at once, wouldn't that offend dozens of maritime merchants with backgrounds?
This is simply fatal!
