"Your Majesty, how can the minister make the saint so loving......"

Zheng Chenggong was manipulated by Zhu Youzhen, which is called a grateful zero, even if he is asked to die for Zhu Youzhen now, he will not hesitate to do it.

Helping Zheng Chenggong up, Zhu Youzhen looked at Meng Zhaoxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry:

"Meng Aiqing, for the Ming Navy, the Ministry of Industry must give full support, Longjiang Shipyard, Wuhumen Shipyard, Dongguan Shipyard, Taicang Shipyard and other large shipyards must go all out to ensure that within two years, 100 ironclad warships will be launched, the country's iron ore will temporarily give priority to the supply of shipyards, and the smelting technology of stainless steel has been given to you, do you have confidence in my request?"

Meng Zhaoxiang hurriedly bowed down and saluted:

"Back to Your Majesty, there must be difficulties, but our first ironclad ship has been launched for sea trials, and the problems of steel and technology have been solved, and Wechen will definitely go all out, because the experience is not very rich, and with such a large-scale construction, Wechen does not dare to deceive the saint."

How can it be so simple to build an iron warship, Meng Zhaoxiang has no bottom in his heart, he is not Yuan Chonghuan, so he does not dare to speak wildly.

"Oh, that's me taking Daming Industry for granted, you try your best to build it, every ironclad ship must build a sealed cabin, and the goal must not be less than sixty, otherwise you will see me."

Zhu Youzhen was not mediocre, and after a little contemplation, he knew that it was very great, and the industrial technology at the end of the Ming Dynasty was very limited after all, so he took the initiative to lower the ship-building target.

"Your Majesty, my Emperor Shengming!"

Zheng Chenggong and Meng Zhaoxiang were both excited to pay homage to Zhu Youzhen, if it is almost impossible to say that a hundred battle armors are at least very promising now, which is equivalent to the emperor letting them go.

The enthusiasm of most of the civil and military forces was also mobilized, and they all seemed to see that Zheng He's feat of going to the West would be realized by the emperor again, and they congratulated Zhu Youzhen one after another.

Of course, there are also a small number of short-sighted officials who began to beat their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, and they thought that the construction of the ironclad battleship was an extreme waste.

Not only is it harmful to the country but also to the people, and it also has a great impact on the smuggling syndicate behind them, but they dare not raise objections.

Now Emperor Chongzhen is completely different from the beginning, as if he has changed a person, not only strong but also very rational, if he can't exile them to Liaodong, he will not be affected by them at all.

Zheng Chenggong wanted ironclad warships, but the idea of building a navy on a large scale had not yet been played, and the cost was very large, and he didn't know if the imperial court could afford it.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has this music."

"Oh"

Zhu Youzhen sighed, and then turned his gaze to Zheng Chenggong, he felt that this national hero was becoming more and more interesting, and he was not satisfied!

"Performance"

"Your Majesty, the warship was launched two years later, and many soldiers in the active navy are not old enough to fight in the open sea, and are only suitable for coastal defense patrols, and the number of soldiers who can really fight is insufficient.

Wechen wanted to recruit 50,000 soldiers suitable for sea operations in the coastal areas, and after two years, they would be proficient in muskets and artillery, so that they could go into battle on ships.

I don't know what Your Majesty wants, if there is a problem with the imperial court's silver, the Zheng family can take out five million taels of silver to fully support the revival of the Ming Navy. ”

Look, this is his own family, hearing that the emperor is ready to marry the princess to him, Zheng Chenggong is willing to take five million silver.

If Chongzhen could get the Zheng family to come up with one million taels of silver at the most difficult time in history, it would be impossible for Li Zicheng to break through the Jingshi and destroy the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong was both wise and brave, although he was a pirate, he was a thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor, with hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of warships under his command, and the powerful Western fleet at that time was not his opponent.

The Daming Sea Ban did not include Zheng Zhilong, the Daming Sailor at that time was not his opponent at all, and he completely controlled the maritime trade.

He sold domestic silk, cloth, tea and other handmade products abroad, and brought back crops and precious metals from the Netherlands and Spain and other maritime powers, so that he made a lot of money.

In addition, all foreign ships passing through the Taiwan Strait must pay taxes to him, and this alone will make money every day.

Although Zhu Youzhen is not short of silver, he knows the strength of the Zheng family, according to historical records, Zheng Zhilong's annual silver income is more than 10 million taels, far exceeding the income of the Ming Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Zheng Chenggong offered to donate silver, Zhu Youzhen has no reason not to want it, so it should be a dowry for his baby daughter!

Zhu Youzhen nodded immediately:

"Okay, Aiqing is really a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, where is the 50,000 new army enough, I decided to recruit 150,000 new sailors, and this matter will be left to you, but I want to remind you, you can't let my Daming sailors become your Zheng family army, hahaha......"

Hearing that the emperor promised him to recruit a new army, Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed at that time, and then heard the emperor's half-truth joke.

Zheng Chenggong is such a smart person, he immediately understood what the emperor meant, he was definitely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and immediately fell to his knees:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Zheng Chenggong is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he will definitely not live up to the expectations of the saints, let alone dare to do that kind of rebellious thing."

"Aiqing is flat, I'm joking with you, the entire Daming Water Division has been handed over to you, how can I not believe you, Aiqing thinks too much, I have already chosen a mansion for you in Beijing, and have a good rest after retreating!"

Zhu Youzhen said, waved his hand to the eunuch, and the little eunuch immediately announced:

"Retreat"

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen immediately changed his clothes, took Aqing, Cao Zhengchun, and Qinglong, the three masters of the interior, and stepped on the war horse and went straight to Changping.

By the time they arrived at the field they had seen yesterday, everyone else was already in place, and soldiers and civilians were coming and going in the fields and on the mountain roads.

These people had already cut down a lot of trees and were carrying them to the fields, and Huang Degong, Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo, and others stood aside to command.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's arrival, several people hurriedly ran over, and just wanted to give Zhu Youzhen a salute, but Zhu Youzhen looked at him to stop them.

They immediately understood what was going on, it turned out that the emperor didn't want to reveal his identity, and he thought about it, which emperor would run to the farmland.

Seeing a few people who were a little stunned, Cao Zhengchun grinned:

"The three Hou masters, called Mr."

"Oh, it's a cold day, sir, why are you here? Take care of yourself! ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed:

"You're still in the bridals, I...... Ahem, why can't I come and see the excitement. ”

"Mr. ......"

The three old men didn't expect the emperor to make fun of them like this, their old faces were red at that time, they couldn't speak for a long time, and they didn't dare to fight back!

Looking at the funny appearance of the three people, Zhu Youzhen said:

"Remove all the snow from these fields into a ravine, set fire to the ground, let the soil thaw, and then sawn the wood into two meters long and drive it into the ground at a certain distance......

Zhu Youzhen took out some drawings as he spoke, and asked Huang Degong, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Liu Yu to command the soldiers and the people to do what the drawings required.

After everything was over, he immediately reported to him, and after the explanation, Zhu Youzhen and the four of them got on the horse and left the scene, 50,000 acres of land could not be completed today, and there was no need for him to stay in the snow.
