Chapter 1755: A Super Battleship in the Dockyard
In the evening, Fang Jun hosted a banquet for the officials of Huating Town and the generals of the royal navy at the official residence.
The officials of Huating Town almost started from scratch with Fang Jun, and created the "first town in the world" on this saline-alkali land, and the royal sailor was created by Fang Jun, and then followed him to the sea to suppress bandits and expedition to Linyi.
It can be said that whether it is Huating Town City Bo Si or the Royal Sailor, Fang Jun is a leader who speaks his word......
Fang Xuanling has already made a decision, and he will never attend such an occasion, and in the face of his son's loyal subordinates, everyone will inevitably be embarrassed. Xiao Yu is sulking, the dignified Lanling Xiao family was actually despised by a mallet, the girl who sent it to the door didn't want it, how could she come to support Fang Jun? Li Jing has already gone to Jinling to visit friends, and has lived in Chang'an for many years.
Zhang Liang rushed over......
This period of time in Jiangnan can be described as the most difficult days that Zhang Liang has suffered since he followed His Majesty Li Er to raise troops. I thought that I could steal the authority of the royal sailor when I came to Jiangnan, but I didn't know that the entire sailor was full of Fang Jun's personal confidants, and he wanted to install a private person but couldn't get the support of the emperor, and wanted to join forces with the Jiangnan Shi clan to resist Fang Jun's power, but before it was done, he was slapped in the face by Fang Jun fiercely, not only did no one dare to unite with him, but even the previous behavior of secretly funding money and food was forced to stop.
Now Zhang Liang is leading hundreds of "fake sons" in Jiangnan, and he really can't afford to lose that person if he wants to return to Guanzhong, so he can only lie dormant in Fang Jun, so that he can live a little more......
He can now understand that although he has some merits, his own ability is limited, and he has no strong backer, so what can he do to fight Fang Jun?
If you don't want to return to Chang'an and be ridiculed by people's eyes, then you can only obediently submit to Fang Jun, otherwise you will be played to death by Fang Jun every minute in this place far away from the emperor of the mountain......
During the banquet, Fang Jun was enthusiastic about Zhang Liang and frequently persuaded him to drink.
In fact, there is no irreconcilable contradiction between the two, although they cut off one of Zhang Liang's son's hands, but that is also Zhang Liang's son deserves, I believe that if the two are reversed, Zhang Liang will only do more than Fang Jun.
Now Zhang Liang has a request for Fang Jun, and Fang Jun feels that Zhang Liang has the identity of a national prince, not to mention his strength in the future, at least it is good to be a shield, after all, a national prince's ability to resist attacks is still quite strong......
Su Dingfang and others didn't want to see Zhang Liang, but as soon as they arrived in Jiangnan, they were aggressive, showing a momentum that they were determined to win, intending to get involved in the city and the sailors, and after being frustrated, they accepted Fang Jun's "Zhao'an" with their tails between their legs, and their character was really disdainful.
However, since Fang Jun showed enthusiasm, everyone naturally followed suit, at least they would not deliberately embarrass Zhang Liang.
made Zhang Liang almost burst into tears, and after coming to Jiangnan for more than a year, he has almost forgotten that he has the identity of a national prince, and he was also a respected big man in the past...... But who called himself a ghost and listened to the words of Changsun Wuji and others, thinking that he could steal Fang Jun's credit, but in the end he found that he was used as a knife, and the mutton was not eaten and provoked a commotion.
and shall not live......
Suspicions may not disappear, but they can always coexist peacefully.
This night has been drunk until the third watch in the middle of the night, and the wine is hot, and then it is happy.
*****
In the early morning of the next day, Fang Jun took Su Dingfang to inspect the shipyard in high spirits.
In Fang Jun's eyes, whether it is the city or the salt factory, or even the water master, they are all products of the moment, and they may gradually dissipate in the long river of history with the passage of time, after all, they cannot live forever, once they retire from politics or simply die, it is difficult to ensure that these policies will continue to run.
The shipyard will also collapse one day, but the shipyard will collapse, the warship will sink, but the accumulated shipbuilding experience will never disappear, and will keep pace with the times and strive for excellence in the years to come!
Smelting technology, gun casting technology, shipbuilding technology, all the technologies that surpass this era, this is the most valuable wealth that Fang Jun has been reborn and left to this era and this empire......
As long as Datang begins to pay attention to the sea, these technologies will never be swept into the garbage heap.
The most important thing in inspecting the shipyard is, of course, the "Royal Princess......
The Jiangnan shipyard is very large and there are many docks. The largest dock is located in the deepest part of the shipyard, surrounded by a river bay, surrounded by low mountains on three sides, only one side is installed with a sluice, and the Wusong River after widening and dredging is connected, the mountain bag is stationed with guards all the year round, ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, the defense is extremely tight, even if the rabbit has always wanted to run to the mountain bag to overlook the situation in the dock.
Zhang Liang was fortunate to be invited by Fang Jun, and he was really excited.
In the past six months, the dock in the deepest part of the Jiangnan Shipyard has almost become the most mysterious place around Huating Town, countless huge pieces of wood have been transported here, and the guards have increased more than one cup compared to before, and even a tall wooden fence has been erected above the sluice, covering the situation in the dock tightly, and no one knows what is going on here.
The more mysterious it is, the more curious it is human nature.
When the sailor's warship blocked the entrance to the sluice tightly, Zhang Liang followed Fang Jun into the sluice by boat, abandoned the ship before the second sluice, and entered the dock that had already been drained along the passage on the sluice, and his eyes almost fell off......
A huge battleship with a long keel standing in the middle of the dock, surrounded by densely built scaffolding, countless craftsmen and ants were busy working, and all kinds of materials were piled up everywhere, and the clanging sound was endless.
Zhang Liang's eyes widened: "This, this, this...... This is a new type of warship? ”
Su Dingfang, who came together, nodded and said: "That's right, this is the latest warship designed by Hou Ye, with three decks, it will be equipped with more than 100 guns, the keel is 13 zhang long, and the total length of the whole ship is close to 20 zhang after completion, carrying 1,000 soldiers, and the weight of the whole ship will reach 30,000 stones...... This will be the largest warship in the world, and at least ten will be built in the future, this kind of battleship is named 'Sail Battleship' by Hou Ye, and this level of sail battleship is named 'Sovereign Class', and the one in front of him has been named 'Royal Princess'. ”
Zhang Liang opened his big mouth, and his small tongue was clearly visible......
Forehead drop a good girl!
A battleship 20 zhang long and 30,000 stones?!
After the ship is built, it will sail to the sea, as long as it is not overturned by the wind and waves, it will definitely be a supergiant on the sea, even if it hits, it can sink a small fleet, not to mention that it will carry more than a hundred guns on it......
It's a sea pass that can be moved!
It's still the unsinkable kind!
Once this kind of super battleship is born, it is useless to have any naval tactics and methods of water warfare, and it can win a naval battle completely by relying on its own strength, and it also requires a fart tactic......
Zhang Liang became more and more depressed, it is conceivable that the design and construction of such a warship is equivalent to incorporating the sea into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and Fang Jun's exploits are not inferior to those who fought bloodily with His Majesty Li Er in Xuanwumen back then.
Such a person, not only will he never have a chance to surpass, but he will even be gradually distanced until he can't even see the shadow of others......
The most hateful thing is that this kid is not only talented enough to build such a super battleship, but also a special mother's sycophant!
Royal Princess......
Who doesn't know that His Majesty Li Er's doting on the princesses of Changle, Jinyang, Gaoyang, Hengshan, Xincheng, etc., is not under the prince and other princes in the slightest? Fang Junyi's identity as a horse expresses his respect for the royal princess through the naming of a warship, which is what His Majesty Li Er is most willing to see......
The people in charge of the Jiangnan Shipyard are naturally the old men of the original Ministry of Water, Liang Renfang and Zheng Kunchang.
Liang Renfang accompanied Fang Jun to check everywhere in front, and explained: "These are all timbers transported from the middle of Shu, this ship is too big, it needs too much wood, and the requirements are also very high, but the keel and below the waterline must be built by the largest wood, and the rest of the hull can be connected by steel nails invented by Hou Ye in many places, and then wrapped with iron plates, even if it is spliced, it will not affect the performance of the hull at all." ”
Fang Jun nodded repeatedly.
In these years, it is impossible to build an ironclad ship, the smelting technology is not up to standard, and the steel cannot withstand the corrosion of seawater.
Moreover, there is no welding technology, the heavy hull connection parts are not strong, and a few waves will fall apart, and a boatload of people will all fall into the sea to feed the fish......
Science and technology must be gradual, and before the basic industry is consolidated, even if there are too many black technologies, it is useless.
