The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 491

And speaking of it, the last time Zhu Linmi saw these two warships, they had only finished laying the ribs, and now they were already in the water. The construction speed is already extremely fast, so it shouldn't be too demanding.

But Zhu Linmi still couldn't hold back her "desire" for the third-tier battleship, and asked again: "Mr. Song, do you know how the [-]-ton warship in Yongbeili is progressing?"

Song Yingxing frowned slightly, "Returning to Your Highness, that warship is too huge. Not to mention ordinary craftsmen, even Pan Mingzhong from Nanyang has never built it before. Therefore, he can only build it while groping, and he has produced some. Problems. For example, the thickness of the previous keel was insufficient, and it was deformed once on the berth, so it had to be dismantled and redone.

"We are just now preparing to lay the second gun deck. According to what Pan Mingzhong said, it will take at least three or four months to complete."

Sure enough, nothing can violate the objective law of development, Zhu Linmin sighed in her heart, especially in terms of technology, even with the guidance of a latecomer like herself, it is extremely difficult to engage in "***".

But three or four months is not too long.He immediately felt relieved, just waiting for this "giant ship" to be launched, the Daming Navy will have the qualification to "compete" with European sailing powers in Asian waters.

At that time, the era of great navigation belonging to Daming will officially begin!
Song Yingxing didn't know what the assistant king was thinking, so he continued to report: "Your Highness, in addition to these two big ships, there are seven other [-] to [-]-ton 'soft sail boats' that have been built, and most of them are still in Yongbeili. Two big ships going north together. Two more are setting up cannon."

"Seven small boats?" Zhu Lin was stunned. In fact, more than 70 tons are not considered "small boats". He hurriedly asked, "The berths in Yongbeili and Nan'an are all main warships. made?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Pang Zhu, according to His Highness's previous instructions, recruited shipyards among the people, and sent craftsmen to give instructions and give drawings to let them build small boats.

"I didn't expect these private shipyards to learn very quickly, and the speed of construction is not slow. There is even one that is still improving on the basis of the original design, and has built a warship of more than [-] tons, which can accommodate two nine-pound guns."

These "private" shipyards are really motivated.Zhu Linmei immediately thought that these shipyards "received orders", recruited craftsmen to complete the orders, and engaged in technological innovation. Isn't this the germ of capitalism she expected?

In time, perhaps a powerful "military enterprise" capable of supporting the Daming Navy will develop among them.

"This is a good thing." He said to Song Yingxing, "In the future, as long as the most advanced technology is not involved, larger warships can be handed over to the private sector, and the price can be slightly increased.

"The fleet needed by the Ming Dynasty will be very large, and the imperial court's own shipyard will inevitably be unable to catch it. However, we must pay more attention to them and beware of collaborating with the enemy."

"Yes, the students will start to do it immediately after they go back."

With these six small boats, the Daming Navy is more confident in intercepting the Qing fleet near the mouth of the Yangtze River.Zhu Linming greeted Shi Lin again and said, "Order Zhu Chenggong to lead his troops south immediately and choose a place to join the newly built warship."

"Yes!"

The next day, in a remote house in the southeastern outskirts of Nanjing City.

Zhu Linmi was inspecting Yao Qisheng's experimental equipment one by one, when an officer patrolling the battalion drove up to report, "My lord, there is a fairy master who calls himself Bian Sai asking to see him."

Why did Bian Yujing come to the barracks?Zhu Linmei rubbed her sore shoulders, thinking that she had been busy for a long time, and it was time to return to the camp, so she said to the people: "Let her wait in my tent, and I will come later."

After Yang Zhihe was killed in the bombing, Zhu Linming thought that Bian Yujing's oath had been broken and there was no possibility of death, so she sent people to Zhenjiang to pick her up and return to Longhu Mountain. Unexpectedly, she came here first.

The summoned soldiers left in response, and Zhu Linmi pointed out some inappropriate experimental equipment to Yao Qisheng and others, ordering them to replace them quickly, and then brought the soldiers back to the Ming army camp on Mufu Mountain.

Bian Yujing had already been waiting outside the camp, his complexion was much better than before, and there was even a smile in the corner of his eyes.

When she saw Zhu Linming coming, she immediately stepped forward to salute, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness, the assistant king. Congratulations to Your Highness, Jurong has defeated the Tartars, and the country will be rejuvenated at this moment."

Zhu Lin hurriedly said a few polite words, and let her into the big tent, "I am busy with military affairs, so I sent someone to send Miss Bian back to Jiangxi, but I didn't have time to send her in person."

Bian Yujing is also a smart person. That day she was "arrested" by the soldiers to Zhenjiang. After that, many servants came to watch her all the time, and the personal maid of General Zhen of the Polu Camp came to take care of her.She immediately understood that it was His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince who wanted to save her, and she was very grateful in her heart.

The day before yesterday, the soldiers sent by the auxiliary king came to report that Yang Zhihe, the national traitor, had been executed, and she no longer had to worry about breaking her oath.In other words, my life was saved by His Royal Highness the Assistant King.

She had already declared her will to die, but at this moment, it seemed as if she had lived in death, and she was very grateful for the kindness of the assistant king, so she insisted on coming to the barracks to see her.

After entering the account, Zhu Lin asked Bian Yujing to watch tea, and asked Bian Yujing, "I wonder what Miss Bian is here for?"

Bian Yujing said solemnly: "I don't thank you for your kindness. I know that it will be difficult to repay His Highness's great kindness no matter what, but after thinking about it again and again, I still feel that I should do something for His Highness."

Zhu Linmi was about to decline politely, so she heard her answer: "The poor Taoist is not talented. Although he has not obtained the true essence of the master's great art, he has learned a little bit. The poor Taoist would like to pray for His Highness sincerely for three years in the Yeshan Taoist Temple."

Longhushan is a brilliant Taoist god, Zhang Tianshi is a true descendant, and Bian Yujing is a direct disciple of Longhushan.Few people in the Ming Dynasty were not superstitious. If it was someone else, and had Zhang Tianshi's disciples personally pray for blessings, it would definitely be a great blessing.

It's just that Zhu Linmei, who has been influenced by natural science knowledge since childhood, doesn't take it seriously.

"Well, Miss Bian doesn't have to be like this, in fact, it's just a matter of little effort for me."

"Your Highness, there is no need to refuse, this is the only way that Pingdao can do his best."

Zhu Linmi persuaded again and again, but Bian Yujing was very persistent.

How uncomfortable is it for a living person to be bored in a Taoist temple for three years?Zhu Linmei recalled that Bian Yujing's poems and songs were excellent. Wouldn't it be a waste of talents to recite Taoism on Yeshan all day?Since she must thank her, she must also use good steel on the blade.

Thinking of this, he looked at Bian Yujing and said, "If Miss Bian wants to do something for me, she doesn't have to do it in the mountains."

Bian Yujing was taken aback, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Northern Zhejiang is currently being finalized, and it is the time when the Ministry of Propaganda is recruiting and opening the Mission House." Zhu Linmei smiled and said, "I have always known that Miss Bian is very good at poetry and poetry, so she is eligible to join the Ministry of Propaganda as the chief writer. Although she is only Bei Jiu ranks low, but he is also contributing to the country. I don't know what you want?"
