Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 199 Daming Shipyard
The setting sun shines on the ground of the main hall through the window of Qianqing Palace, and falls on the bodies of Lao Zhu and Li Shanchang, dragging their figures to a long distance.

"Why did your Majesty ask Wang Canzheng to be the governor of Shaanxi? Could it be Yang Xian and the others..." Li Shanchang sighed, bowed his body and said, "Your Majesty, there are rumors in the court that Liu Bowen and Yang Xian are the Eastern Zhejiang Party, and some even say that I He is the leader of the Huaixi Party, does Your Majesty know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang never thought that Li Shanchang would speak so bluntly about the Huaixi Party and the East Zhejiang Party. He was slightly taken aback, wondering how to answer Li Shanchang, a fox.

Lao Zhu pretended to be surprised, looked at Li Shanchang in doubt and said, "We don't know."

Li Shanchang was silent for a long time, thinking about the authenticity of His Majesty's words.

Lao Zhu then said coldly: "Li Xiang, we don't want to hear such words from now on. The Ming Dynasty did not have the Huaixi Party and the Zhedong Party, but only the Sons of Destiny, who are kings. How can the ministers of the Ming Dynasty be divided into regions.

Don't forget, you not only have to be loyal to us, but you will also be loyal to the crown prince decades later. We will never treat you badly for those who are dedicated to Daming! "

Li Shanchang heard the meaning of the words, if he is unfaithful, there will be no good fruit to eat.

"Remember, veteran." Li Shanchang said with a smile.

"Let the Ministry of Households collect some treasure money. No matter what, we have to secretly support the saltworks run by the prince. We can't always let the girl from the Shen family raise money for the court. The elders will slap you, you can write it down." ?”

Li Shanchang nodded, he was more clear about the relationship between the crown prince and His Majesty at the moment, he knew a lot about how to stand in line because father and son were united in this way, then he turned and left the palace.

"Our bright sun is going to be brighter." Lao Zhu stood on the steps at the entrance of the main hall, squinted his eyes at the sunset, and said with a smile, "Yu Yi, go to the queen's for dinner tonight."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Yi immediately arranged eunuchs and maids.

After dealing with political affairs every day, His Majesty will go to see the Empress and Princess Ningguo. He has long been familiar with this matter.

A group of young eunuchs and maids quickly followed Lao Zhu's pace, and the dragon and phoenix reliefs carved on the snow-white stone walls on both sides were shining brightly in the setting sun.

The white marble fence was spotless, and the eunuchs and court ladies followed the Emperor Daming neatly.

……

……

On the second day, Zhu Biao took his entourage to the shipyards around Nanjing, and then inspected the Qingjiang shipyard in person.

The Suzhou shipyard at the Xiaobeimen of Taicang produced large-scale sea-borne tank ships, but it was too much trouble. Zhu Biao ordered Sanbao to return to Qingjiang shipyard immediately after acceptance.

At that time, Qingjiang Shipyard was established in Huai'an, the north-south junction of tank boat transportation on the Grand Canal, and Qingjiang Tiju Division, Jingwei, Zhongdu and Zhili three main factories were established.

Zhu Biao summoned Jiao Zan and Li Anyong, who specialize in gunpowder and gunpowder in Shenjitang, and went to Qingjiang Shipyard together.

The Qingjiang shipyard is near the water, and there are brand new ships parked in the surrounding waters, one of which is dilapidated, and it is naturally a large ship that was transported from Shen's house to Nanjing by the prefect of Suzhou at that time.

Going forward, there is a huge wooden sign that reads the Daming Fleet Bureau—the flags of the Ming Dynasty are erected around the Qingjiang Shipyard.

Seeing Zhu Biao from a distance, Tang He immediately rubbed his hands happily and said, "Chen Tanghe, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Get up, General Tang." Zhu Biao nodded.

"Hey, why don't you tell me in advance, Your Highness, so I can go to greet you." Tang He rubbed his body with a pair of big hands that had nowhere to rest.

"General Tang, when Zheng Sanbao comes back, let him go directly to the palace to meet Gu, and General Tang will tell Gu about these ships."

Speaking of ships, Tang He nodded immediately.

This is a place that he has been familiar with for more than a year. Originally, he was going to lead troops to fight, but Feng Sheng and Hua Yunlong replaced him.

Unexpectedly, when I came to this river beach, I started building boats and found out that this work is very interesting.

The crowd supported Zhu Biao and walked to a warship, looking up at the tall ship, and then everyone climbed up the ladder, and Zhu Biao saw the war drums in the ship.

The boats here are huge and can carry soldiers. The boats with war drums are all warships.

There are more than a dozen small warships near the big ship. Tang He respectfully said: "His Royal Highness, these small warships are flexible and light, suitable for fast advance and retreat, and enter the water very quickly."

"This boat knows that it is the kind of pedal that was given to you at that time. The wooden pole in the middle can change the direction, forward to the right, backward to the left, and put it in the middle to go straight."

Inspiration for this boat.Zhu Biao came from the kind of cruise ship that went to the park in later generations. After modification, it is quite practical, but the legs are tired.

Then came the four major types of ships, the Fuchuan and Guangzhou Ships, Sand Ships, and Bird Ships.

The flat bottom of the sand boat can sit on the beach, so it is not afraid of running aground.The bottom is flat and the draft is shallow, so it is less affected by the tide and is safer.

It can adjust Russia to fight the wind, sail with the wind against the wind, and even sail against the wind against the water.

Sand ships have the best stability, many masts and multiple sails, high sails are good for wind, shallow draft, low resistance, and good fast sailing.

The bow shaped like a bird's beak is the bird boat.

Building ships, cruise ships, warships, sea ships, and tank ships...all are available.

As far as the sampan is concerned, it has long been superior to any kind of vessel in the West, in terms of stowage space, seaworthiness, and seaworthiness.

The rest of the ships are imitations of Zheng He's voyages, and the largest treasure ship is about to be completed. As long as it goes into the water for a trial run, the finished product can be seen soon after the registration inspection is underway.

Looking at those in the Weapons Bureau, and then at Jiao Zan, Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I hope you can add artillery to all the warships and build a batch of combat ships for the first navy of the Ming Dynasty. Can you do it?"

Jiao Zan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, if it weren't for your guidance, I'm afraid I'd still rely on those things to play tricks. Yes, I can understand the rough drawings you gave me and modify them."

Li Anyong said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, the remaining wasted gunpowder in the Armament Bureau, I made it into gunpowder bags, and His Royal Highness can have a look at it at that time."

"Gunpowder bag." Zhu Biao thought for a few words and said to Li Anyong: "The underwater mine that Gu dreamed about exploded in the water, you can do it."

"Could it be that your Highness is talking about the Dragon King Cannon?" Li Anyong scratched his head and said, "It's the underwater mine."

It seems that this kid knows.Zhu Biao looked at Li Anyong and said, "Go ahead."

"Underwater mines" are controlled by the firearms industry and then fired with foreign objects. It uses a wooden box as a shell, putty glues the seams, and puts black powder inside. .

Chen used the remaining waste gunpowder to make a kind of rocket. The gunpowder was installed behind the arrowhead, and the long fire wire was fixed, and it was ignited and shot.

The combustion and range of the fire line, I have summed up a lot after many actual battles.His Highness the Crown Prince can try it another day. "

After Li Anyong finished speaking, Jiao Zan also stood beside him and said kindly: "His Royal Highness doesn't know anything, but he is a small expert in creating firearms."

Zhu Biao nodded: "Li Anyong, you did a very good job, but remember to pay attention to safety, I will remember you alone."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Li Anyong will definitely do his best for Daming." Li Anyong thought that His Royal Highness would scold him, but unexpectedly, he was praised.

When Zhu Biao left the shipyard, he talked to Tang He again. Tang He was a smart man, and it would be a good thing for him to manage the shipyard well.

Then he went back to the palace to prepare for the Weaving Bureau and the Salt Bureau, mines, and tea.
