"Today, the first batch of ships from the shipyard has been launched for trial ships!"

Zhao Yin arched his hand at Li Er, and then said lightly.

"What? Why didn't you send someone to call me for such a big thing? ”

Li Er was a little displeased.

You know, he has high hopes for these ships, and whether he can take the Wa Kingdom or not depends on these ships!

"Today's trial is just some clippers, and when the steamship is built, Your Majesty will be invited to watch!"

Seeing him pulling his face, Zhao Yin hurriedly comforted him.

"That's pretty much it!"

Hearing this, Li Er's face softened slightly.

"The warship will gradually be launched, I wonder who Your Majesty plans to send to command?"

"I plan to send Wu Changxu to lead the water division!"

Li Er thought about it for a while and decided on the candidate.

"This steamship is a long-distance ship, and the volume is large, if you call it a sailor, is the pattern too small?"

"You kid want to change the name of the sailor?"

"That's right, the son-in-law thinks that the sailors should be turned into a navy, which sounds much more powerful and domineering!"

"Navy ......?"

Li Er muttered this word repeatedly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Haha! Okay, it's called the navy, it's really domineering! ”

"When will this steamer be ready for trial?"

After deciding on the name, Li Er went back to the previous question, a little impatient.

"The slowest is the end of the month!"

Zhao Yin thought about it and said.

The steamship was large and complicated, so he sent all the best craftsmen in the shipyard to it, so it should be about the end of the month!

"Try the boat again this time, you kid must remember to call me over to watch!"

Li Er reminded again, for fear that he would forget about it.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my son-in-law will remember, but it's ......!"

Zhao Yin remembered something again and continued: "Now the commander has been decided, but the sailing personnel still need to be trained as soon as possible, after all, this steamship is very different from ordinary ships!" ”

"And how much do you think should be trained?"

"At least 10,000 people!"

If the trial is successful, Zhao Yin plans to produce 100 ships first, and according to the calculation of 100 people on each ship, at least 10,000 people will be needed.

"Okay, I'll arrange Wu Changxu to handle this matter later!"

"Good!"

After Zhao Yin handed over all this matter to Wu Changxu, he became the shopkeeper again, lingering between Princess Changle and the two concubines every day.

And Wu Changxu did not disappoint him, and the training of the navy was in good order.

A few days later, Wu Changxu came to the Horse Mansion to look for him.

"Admiral Wu, why are you here?"

Zhao Yin, who was suddenly woken up, stretched his waist and asked.

Although the current Navy Division has been renamed the Navy, the identity of the Admiral of the Navy Division has not changed, so Zhao Yin called him Admiral Wu!

"Xia Guan came here this time to train the navy, and I want to ask for the opinion of the horses!"

Wu Changxu looked him up and down while bowing his hand, secretly admiring him in his heart.

The colt is only a teenager, and he has such a ability to make everyone in the government and the opposition compete for it!

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Yin, who had stretched his waist, sat on the chair, picked up the fragrant tea that Wu Shun had just delivered, and took a sip.

"When Xia Guan was training the navy, he found that the old set of plans was no longer suitable for the current navy, so Xia Guan dared to reform!"

Wu Changxu tentatively spoke.

He didn't have deep contact with the horses, and he only knew that the government and the opposition didn't dare to offend him!

So, I'm also careful!

"What's your idea?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yin suddenly became interested.

"This is a change plan written by the lower officials, please take a look at it!"

Wu Changxu took out a stack of papers from his arms and held it to him with both hands.

After Zhao Yin took it, he looked at it carefully, and then his eyes lit up.

The set of plans he wrote eliminated all the previous drawbacks and drafted many new training and combat plans, which are very suitable for today's steamships!

"Well, that's good!"

Zhao Yin nodded with satisfaction.

Although he was very satisfied with this plan, he didn't praise it too much, for fear that the kid in front of him would be proud!

"In the future, let's train according to your customized plan!"

"Yes!"

……

After the matter was settled, Zhao Yin explained some of the information he found on the Internet, which allowed Wu Changxu to go back.

Time flies, and Datang ...... in a few days No!

It should be said that the first steamship in this world, the steel monster on the water was born.

Wang Dongcheng of the Ministry of Water came to the Horse Mansion early in the morning to report the good news, which was definitely a major breakthrough for these people.

"Yes, it didn't disappoint me, I will ask for credit for you in front of Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Zhao Yin was immediately overjoyed, after waiting for so long, the long-awaited steamship was finally completed.

A smile also appeared on Wang Dongcheng's cheeks.

Since he said it, he will definitely do it, which is why those powerful people are desperately trying to cling to him.

Follow the side of the horse master, there is no need to bother to please, there is no need to flatter, and there is no need to give gifts, as long as you are down-to-earth and do everything seriously, then you can get unexpected benefits.

"Thank you, Master Ma!"

Wang Dongcheng hurriedly bowed his hand, with an excited look on his face.

"Lead the way."

Zhao Yin waved his hand and hurriedly explained.

After a while, Zhao Yin took the guards and rushed to the shipyard outside the city non-stop.

I thought he was coming fast enough, but what he didn't expect was that the surroundings of the steamship were already full of people, which couldn't help but surprise Zhao Yin.

But after a few moments, he understood that these people were shipbuilders.

"My ancestors have been building ships for generations, but this is the first time I've seen a ship covered in fine iron!"

"What's more! It is said that this ironclad ship, called a steamship, does not use sails! ”

……

"The horse master is here!"

I don't know who found out about Zhao Yin's arrival, and after hurriedly shouting, the crowd retreated to both sides to make way for a passage.

"Master Pony!"

It wasn't until Zhao Yin came over that the craftsmen gave salutes one after another.

"No need to be polite."

After Zhao Yin nodded, he directly fell on the steamship, came to its side in a few steps, stretched out his hand and knocked on the iron ship, making a crisp sound.

"Master Horse, please rest assured, the thickness of the iron plate is fully able to withstand the attack of a strong crossbow."

Seeing this scene, shipbuilder Liu Cheng hurriedly explained with a proud face.

When he was researching the iron plate, he also deliberately tested it, although it was only half a foot back, but the sword was absolutely difficult to hurt.

"Master Horse, even if the power of the steam engine is strong, the weight of this ironclad ship is too amazing, if it is put on the water, it will not sink to the bottom in an instant?"

Wang Dongcheng of the Mizube Langzhong had a worried look on his face.

He has a great talent for management and technology, but he lacks in knowledge.

According to normal people's understanding, it is impossible for a piece of iron to float on the water, so it is normal for him to have such worries.
