"I haven't seen the sunrise on the beach for several years. This boat is really big."
The team did not follow the idea of the Nahachu officials to stay one more day. They went there yesterday afternoon and had a meal. After dinner, board the ship and set sail early in the morning.
Zhu Yuanzhang was urging them there, asking the team to come back as quickly as possible to meet Na Ha Chu.
The princes and Xu Da and others did not believe it. They knew that it was for Xiaqiu Village, and the team from Xiaqiu Village had been out for too long.
It is inconvenient to send telegrams to ask more questions. Without the master, it is estimated that eating will not be good.
“If you want to take a boat in the future, let’s go from the Yangtze River. It’s most convenient to walk to Xiaqiu Village and into Xuanwu Lake. There are trains.
This ship has no sails and its tonnage has reached 3,000 tons. , much larger than the original largest steam engine and sail ship.
It shows that steam engine technology has improved, and such a large ship cannot be carried by sails. ”
Zhu Pingyi. The deputy seemed willing to accompany Gege Haji to the ends of the earth. In fact, he meant that he wanted to go to the sea and needed to apply.
He is now satisfied with the big ship. The craftsmen are working hard with the materials. He doesn’t know how far the current shipyard’s shipbuilding capabilities are.
"I think I can go far away. Those small boats of the Yi people dare to run around in the sea. The boats under my feet are invincible on the sea."
Gegehaji had never experienced a typhoon and did not know how powerful it was. She had previously recorded that she was blown away by the wind during the war against Japan. She did not exist at that time.
Zhu Huang nodded: "It is not enough to be invincible in battle and face the dangers in the sea. We have already gone out to some dual-power boats we built before, and we don't know when we will come back."
< p>Hearing what he said, the captain standing next to him hesitated, wiped his sweat, and quickly continued to look at the sea surface.Zhu Wentian looked at the captain and several sailors beside him, and shook his head. He guessed something.
Right now, he was thinking about how well the steam engine of the seven-thousand-ton steam engine ship was built. The three-thousand-ton ship under his feet was actually big enough.
This thing is not easy to build. Historically, it was only in 1900 that the Qing government built a 3,000-ton steam engine ship.
The fact that Ming Dynasty was able to build a steam engine was due to its own merits. The blueprints of the ship were ready, the craftsmen had good foundations, and their dedicated research spirit deserves to be rewarded.
The more critical point is that the court invests in resources regardless of cost, so there is no need to worry if the craftsmen do something wrong.
Only craftsmen who have no worries can unleash their potential. With a theoretical foundation, they dare to try anything.
Nahachu and the others stood on the deck speechless for a long time. They were frightened. It turned out that the Ming Dynasty was so powerful and the ship was too big and made of iron.
Thanks to the surrender, otherwise the Ming Dynasty could continuously transport things to the sea and replace them with small steam engine ships that can tug boats into the inland rivers.
A small steam engine boat is actually not too small and can easily block the river. If you want to block the steam engine boat, you need a lot of weeds and ropes to prevent it from moving.
How many manpower can complete it? Throwing grass and ropes in for a long time, you don't have to drink the water from the river.
You can fish for key points, patrol along the shore, shoot and fire cannons.
"Can this ship be built by humans?"
A first-class officer stamped his feet, feeling the hardness of the lower deck, with a puzzled expression on his face.
"That gun is also man-made. We can see what the Ming Dynasty will become in the future. It's a pity that we can't be asked to lead the army!"
Qi Qili knew clearly in his heart that in the future he would He will not be allowed to lead troops. He will just be an idle prince. Don't cause trouble, otherwise he will die of illness.
“Without the help of the sail, and also without the hindrance of the sail, the steam engine ship can run very fast on the sea. I just don’t know how long it will take to get from Gaizhou County to Nanjing.”
Na Ha Chu raised his hand to look at his watch. He was wearing a watch as a reward for his surrender and to prevent Daming from spending more resources to beat him.
The key is time. If you occupy the Northeast as early as possible, you will get resources from the Northeast earlier.
Without him causing trouble there, you can reach the Nen River or Songhua River by walking a short distance overland. Entering these two places, you can move to many positions by waterway.
Unfortunately, if you want to enter the sea, you have to go further north, and you will have already passed the Japanese country.
Even if we don’t use sea or river transportation, the inland water transportation there alone is very powerful.
If the land road is built and the equipment is sent there in the future, how many people can eat good rice with the food grown in the alluvial plains of various rivers?
Naha Chu knows his own importance and is not worried that he will die if he is honest. He just wants to pass this watch on.
He has heard that Ming Dynasty sold a piece to a barbarian merchant for a hundred thousand yuan, which was crazy. The person who sold it really dared to ask for a higher price, and the person who bought it was also crazy.
Even if his own jewelry totals far more than 100,000 yuan, he does not want to buy a watch like this because he knows that there is a better one, a tourbillon.
Everyone from Xiaqiu Village had one of those watches, including the princes, which shows that it is not particularly difficult to make.
Zhao Yao, who was standing next to him, also had a normal watch in his hand, but he had to calibrate the time. Fortunately, Zhao Yao was given a navigational clock, which he could use to calibrate the watch.
He has to be responsible for the affairs of Beipingxing Province. For such an important position, it is okay to borrow a watch and say that he will take it back when he is no longer good at the job or resigns.
He is not too worried about being taken away. People in Xiaqiu Village say that technology will get better and better in the future, and more clocks and watches will be sold.
Since it can be sold, the piece of money in my hand will continue to depreciate. What is really valuable is the years. Whatever you do with it, just keep it to yourself!
Zhao Yao also looked at the watch: "It can take five days, depending on the wind direction and ocean currents, or six days, and this ship is fast.
We still have seven thousand people left in the future. It is normal to build a large ship with a ton of more than 110,000 tons.
When the time comes, they will build strongholds in various places on the sea, and spend money to buy strongholds where there are people. ”
"Five or six days? Sea transportation is really convenient. The original Yuan Dynasty's foreign trade was good.
I heard that the Ming Dynasty banned the sea at the beginning. How did it change?
Someone's Don’t they want to buy and sell things in this place? Why spend money to buy them?” Nahachu was shocked by the speed and went from the estuary to Yingtian Mansion instead of sea. How many days will it take?
"You must buy it. If you buy it, it will be our territory of the Ming Dynasty. How do the Yi people know this? When we buy it, they think that the money we give is too much, so that little area is useless.
When they find that they can no longer receive berth money from there and want to buy it back, we will offer a sky-high price. Naturally, they will not agree. They will use force to attack our port, which is just right. We have a reason for them.
When the time comes, we can occupy more land without spending money. We can’t just attack others, even though we are very powerful.”
Zhao Yao knows. The arrangement of the imperial court, or the arrangement of the senior people of Xiaqiu Village, was to buy it first, and then it would be the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Specially choose the best place to buy and build a port. After it is built, other Yi people's ships will be berthed, and they will be charged berthing fees and fresh water replenishment fees.
So when choosing a place, you must choose a location with fresh water, otherwise how can you collect money from others? Others will charge their own money instead.
"That makes sense!" Nahachu nodded slowly. He felt that it would be difficult for people in other places in the future! The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
