Section 111, not taking the usual path

Although he had been preparing to return to Beijing, Jiang Tian was still a little in a hurry after the sudden arrival of the holy decree, so he hurriedly arranged some scientific research tasks, in addition to continuing to test various ship types and improving navigation tools, the most important thing was to find ways to improve their manufacturing capabilities, especially steel forging and riveting technology is the most important. Another point is to establish China's own standard time, which is to prepare for future ocean positioning. However, this is not something that can be effective in a short period of time, the reason why Jiang Tian arranged these is because the budget of this ship research institute comes from the military, and unlike the place where the Academy of Sciences lives tightly, the Naval Research Institute currently has only such a branch, and all the funds are used in this shipyard.

From a historical point of view, Jiang Tian's practice of stifling the creative power of others is really not a model of a teacher, because he did not feel that this was a sacred profession from the beginning, and he was determined to fight for it for the rest of his life. At first, he just thought that this profession was high and the money was fast, after all, there was no second comprehensive scientist in the world who could compare with him. Later, he found out that things were not as perfect as he thought, and in this era, even if anyone could understand his book of heaven, it was limited to a few scientists who had left their names in history, and most of these people were not in China. So later he gave up the idea of discussing science with some geniuses, and turned to this kind of cramming teaching, anyway, the students will not understand it for a while, it is better to write down the knowledge first, and correct the detours they take at any time, as for innovative things, don't think about it at all without a strong educational foundation.

After arranging the subjects for the pre-study, there is not much time left for traveling, although the distance between the two places is not far, if you hurry up and whip up a day, it will be there. However, considering that the order of the Holy Decree was unshakable, the guard of honor could not keep up with the speed of the horses, and at the same time, the time was very tight, Jiang Tian gave up his plan to go by land, in fact, he didn't want the officials along the way to stir up the army and cause some trouble, wouldn't it be a shame if he hadn't seen the world and showed his timidity? In fact, he doesn't have to worry, after all, the official position is there, and his reputation is spread outside, as long as he shirks and says that he doesn't look down on those vulgar fans, who dares to say that he is a dirt bun? Then he was left with only one option: taking the waterway.

In fact, it is of course the most convenient to go from one port to another, but this year's sailing is definitely not as fast as a horse. However, Jiang Tian's two months here made history deviate, and there was a ship faster than a horse in Tianjin Port, although the ship was not big, but the place where he went was also close, so this became an optimal choice, only let the entourage of the honor guard wait in Tianjin City, and after he joined the cavalry, he carried the goods back to Beijing to be considered a bad deal. So the institute brought in the sailors who had become addicted to driving and entrusted them with this voyage. It is estimated that after the ship arrives at Shanhaiguan, it will not be able to drive back without overhaul, and the temporary wooden planks will definitely not be able to survive the waves of the return voyage.

Zheng Hongming is not worried that Jiang Tian will fall into the water, nor is he worried that the test trimaran will fall apart, in fact, he has organized people to study the ship in detail, plus the drawings left by Jiang Tian, basically figure out the approximate parameters of the ship. He also figured out the design concept, so even if the test ship was scattered into planks, he was confident that he would put together another one, but the next ship could not be hastily delivered.

In this way, Jiang Tian dragged Liu Baokai, whose legs were weak, to board the boat, and the little grandfather's face turned pale because he was worried that he would be drowned, and he completely lost his previous arrogant appearance. The cavalrymen of the Praetorian Guard on the shore looked at it and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, this heir of the Liu family finally has a weakness that can be talked about for a few years, and if it is not done well, it will be a stain on being laughed at for a lifetime. The pervert didn't expect that his current timid appearance would become a laughing stock in the army, in fact, because the army is full of mountains, he, the heir of the Liu family, will be noticed no matter what he does, and in a political environment where he compares and dumps each other, even if it is just a small problem, it will be magnified into a heinous one. This forbidden army and the Liu family are representatives of the main forces of the two major cavalry, although it is not unpleasant to look at each other, but at least it is not a little competition in the open and in the dark, Liu Baokai is afraid that the weakness of the water is not a weakness at all in the cavalry, but at least it can be turned out to be disgusting and disgusting to you.

Because the time was urgent, and Jiang Tian didn't like the rules of officialdom, he didn't put anything like a send-off banquet or a farewell to officials. At the beginning, Jiang Tian came on horseback from the land, and now he is going by boat, as if this supreme governor just came here to live in seclusion and vacation, and now that the time comes, it is time for people to work, so he comes and goes quietly, which can be regarded as providing an example for those who come after him, but the power of this example will not begin to play a role until decades later. Sitting on the world's fastest sailing ship, the satyr's little face began to become a little abnormal, except that it looked whiter than usual, there seemed to be no blood, and the most exaggerated thing was that he grabbed the boat tightly with both hands, as if the ship was about to capsize at any time.

"Relax!" Jiang Tian stretched his waist indifferently, watching those sailors skillfully raise their sails, and the ship was slowly accelerating: "Unless it encounters strong winds and waves, our ship will definitely not sink." ”

"Why?" Although he wanted to believe Jiang Tian's words, the pervert was still a little uneasy: "How can there be an unsinkable ship?" ”

"It is true that there is no unsinkable ship, but the buoyancy of this ship not only comes from the hull in the middle, but also from the hull on both sides, so its redundancy is quite high, and there are no bad waves in the Bohai Sea, and we are sailing along the coast, even if the ship is sunk, we can float back to the shore with two gourds, so what are you afraid of?"

After listening to the explanation, the pervert put a little snack. In fact, his landlubber's worries are really a bit redundant, anyway, the sailors on this ship are one in a hundred, even if they fall into the water, they are sure to drag a person to swim to the shore, and the trimaran must surpass the traditional ship in terms of sinking resistance, although those vulgar soldiers don't understand, but both the researcher and these sailors can see it at a glance. When the speed of the ship became faster and faster, the bow of the ship split the sea surface and stirred up layers of waves, a kind of bump and shaking like riding on a fierce horse, Liu Baokai gradually found a little feeling, as if the voyage was not as terrifying as he imagined. In particular, a few seabirds gathered around the bow of the boat to spread their wings in the wind, which was different from the pleasure of galloping on a horse, and at this time, he didn't care about his fear of water, and slowly crawled to the bow of the boat, and then poked his head out to look at the white waves rolling up on the jewel-like water, which seemed to be a little distracted.

The sailors naturally wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and it was indeed a little funny to see a dignified seven-foot man, trembling and lying there watching the waves. But who makes the family have a good background, even if they borrow a few of their guts, they don't dare to laugh at a future duke! Besides, the master is still on the side, don't look at this gentleman-looking crepe, since the sea has been out to sea, the speed of the ship has reached an unimaginable level, but people are stunned and comfortable with their legs cocked and dozed off, which is completely a kind of accustomed to the wind and waves. No wonder people can build such a good ship! In fact, how did they know that as Jiang Tian, who had played a motorboat in a tourist attraction in later generations, this kind of speed of up to 20 knots was really not enough to see, not to mention the well-known stability of the trimaran, and the small wind and waves were not very bumpy.

The speed of the boat is very fast, after a simple lunch, the coastline becomes a continuous beach, Jiang Tian knows that he has arrived at the overcrowded resort of the later generations, dozens of kilometers of beach not only have a variety of dry rest houses, sanatoriums, but also dotted with a variety of clubs and resorts, and the name of Beidaihe has become a symbol of some kind of politics. However, the current Gold Coast is not as prosperous as it was in later generations, except for lush forests and golden sandy beaches, there are not many people to see, and it is impossible to find the high-rise buildings built by the sea in later generations. As the most well-known bathing beach in North China, Jiang Tian has no urge to swim in the sea, not to mention that there is no shark net in this era, and even if there is, he can't find a rest area where he can take a bath and change clothes. What used to be a road trip along this coastline all the way to Old Dragon's Head is now a boat ride in the same direction. In fact, Jiang Tian has always wondered, starting from Dagukou, there was a big bend in the coastline in Caofeidian, if you choose to sail in a straight line can save a little time, but the sailors are still stubbornly moving along the coastline, and the sailors first shirked it for safety, and then admitted that they did not dare to go deep into the ocean.

At this time, in northern China, Yan zhòng lacked experienced sailors, even if these sailors were one in a hundred, they were far from the real ocean-going navy, and what was even worse was that due to the long-term sea ban of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, China's overall navigation level Yan zhòng regressed, and the Chinese sailors who originally crisscrossed the four seas now only dare to rely on the navigation of the island chain to dare to go to sea. It was he who was known as China's first navy, and in order to do business with Japan, he relied on the Ryukyu Islands to find the port of Nagasaki. Jiang Tian couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, even if he built an ironclad battleship by himself, it would be useless to have no qualified sailors. But it is extremely difficult to train this sailor if the ship is good, Mo said that there is a lack of qualified instructors, and even if there is, it will not be able to mass-produce sailors overnight, and his own naval research institute should also start with cultivating seeds, right?

Just when he was entangled, the ship had sailed to the destination, far away you could see the majestic city wall of the old dragon's head, and the majestic posture of leaning into the water, at this time the pervert had forgotten his fear of water, standing at the bow of the ship holding a cable, his eyes stared at the distant tower, where his father had fought, and it was also a place full of regret and sadness, and the thick city wall did not block the enemy's iron hooves, and the same did not stop the pace of the Central Plains counterattack. It seems that the era of high walls is over, and will their cavalry gradually wither like the yellow flowers of last night? Liu Junding asked his son to contact the navy, because he heard the emperor once say that in the future it will be the era of great navigation, China's interests will depend on the navy to safeguard, and China's will will will also rely on the navy to convey it......

Whether it is Liu Junding or Liu Baokai, neither of them can understand why the navy that cannot gallop on land is so important, let alone understand what geopolitical or sea control is, but they can understand a truth, that is, in the future, the Chinese Dynasty will inevitably move in the direction of a naval power, and whoever can seize this opportunity to build a relationship with the navy will not hurt even if he suffers a little loss now. In fact, they didn't think about the situation of the death of people in the former Ming Dynasty, and no one was keen on sailing after Zhu Di's death. But now it is different, first of all, the Central Plains can stabilize dìng down all thanks to a large amount of grain from the sea, and secondly, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, because of the accumulation of disadvantages of Cao Yun for a long time, Chongzhen had allowed Cao grain to be shipped by sea, although the results were immediately seen, but it was still not able to completely remove those moths up and down the river, and during the period of counterattack on Beijing, because of the inconvenience of land transportation, the current emperor re-picked up the magic weapon of sea transportation, and the result is that the current Cao grain is basically landed from Tianjin Port, and the previous amazing loss and drifting have basically disappeared. As a result, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to say that shipping was not good, let alone a ban on the sea. Even if His Majesty dies today, the next emperor and courtiers who take over will maintain this lifeline, so the role of the navy can be imagined.

The traditional land countries' understanding of the navy is just that, even if it is the emperor Zhang Tao, the understanding of the navy is still stuck in the past when foreigners knocked on the door of the country, maybe in this era, only Jiang Tian in the Chinese knows exactly what is the right to control the sea, and only Jiang Tian knows what kind of military branch the navy should be in the future. While in Beijing, after several in-depth exchanges with Zhang Tao about the future history that had not yet happened, His Majesty the Emperor wisely decided to hand over this naval research institute to Jiang Tian.

"The mission of the navy is to strike at the enemy, but the enemy is not necessarily the navy of the hostile country, in fact, the foundation of the navy is maritime transport and fishery, without these two foundations, the navy will not have to exist, and the second is to prevent the hostile country from launching an attack on our coast, so if you want the navy to develop and grow, it is necessary to rely on the huge maritime trade, so in order to promote trade, it is necessary to open a certain number of customs clearance ports, and open the ports at the same time guide the navy to expand the establishment and maintain the order of the sea. Therefore, a country with a strong navy must also be a country that is very dependent on ocean trade...... "Seeing that he was about to enter the port, Jiang Tian explained some basic concepts of sea control to the pervert.

It's not that Jiang Tian is tireless, but the pervert is very strange why he wants to open up a trade zone here in Qinhuangdao, and even hesitate to move the general port. Of course, this plan is still on paper, that is, the pervert can only know the inside story by relying on his father's relationship. Who would have thought that the emperor would make the entire Bohai Bay an important seafaring town in northern China? Unexpectedly, the heavy responsibility of building the Imperial Navy had been pressed on Jiang Tian's shoulders. Although it sounds a bit like a book from heaven, the pervert has fully exerted the fine tradition of not knowing how to pretend to understand, and is ready to slowly deepen his understanding in the future study. At the same time, the people in the port were also looking at them curiously, no one had ever seen such a strange ship, not to mention that there was a navy flag on the mast, could it be that this was a navy test ship?

The people who knew that Jiang Tian was coming were waiting at the dock early, and at this time they had already vacated a berthing place to prepare to welcome Jiang Tian, but they were a little surprised when they saw this ship, probably they didn't expect that an official of Jiang Tian's level would enter the port in such a tasteless boat, and they didn't expect that this strange-shaped boat was designed and manufactured by this Jiang master himself. So the ship did not dock at the designated berth, but was assigned to a relatively marginal trestle, when Jiang Tian Shi Shiran, who was dressed in civilian clothes, stepped off the boat, there was no official to come to greet him, in fact, if it wasn't for the military flag on the mast, they even wanted to drive the boat away quickly, and it would be in the way when the ship of the provincial Qincha arrived at the port.

After saying goodbye to those sailors, Jiang Tian looked at the officials who didn't know that he had arrived from a distance, thinking about whether to copy the deeds in Tianjin, and also have a private visit to Weifu, mainly because he really didn't want to deal with those officialdom rules. But just as he hesitated, on the other side of the trestle, a fortune boat that was unloading cargo, suddenly ran down a few people, looking at the short and obscene appearance of those people, he knew that it was Japanese. At the same time, the pervert who also has the function of a bodyguard hurriedly blocked in front of Jiang Tian, one hand was already on the hilt of the sword on his waist, and he looked at these people vigilantly, he didn't believe that anyone dared to be bad for Qin Cha in the military port, but he couldn't let the other party get close to Jiang Tian.

Fortunately, those little Japanese were very sensible and stood far away, and then prostrate on the ground together and saluted Jiang Tian: "The villain Heisan has seen the adult!" ”

Jiang Tian, who was wondering, remembered that the little man in the lead was the Japanese businessman who served as a negotiator some time ago, and then looked at the lucky ship he ran down, the displacement was only two or three hundred tons in terms of specifications, and it belonged to a small merchant ship made in the south, but this level of ship was considered a great ship in Japan, so it seemed that it was not unreasonable for him to be selected as a representative of the merchant to trade in China.

"Oh, it's you! Don't be so polite, get up and speak! After a long period of edification, Jiang Tian has become a little similar when he speaks this kind of official language, not to mention that in his heart he does feel that he is superior to the Japanese.

Ping San hurriedly got up and trotted in front of Jiang Tian: "Thank you, my lord, I don't know if you are on the land again, the villain is far away to meet ......"

In fact, this Japanese merchant ship was holding a permit issued by Beijing to dock here, and they also knew that some of the goods here were designated for Jiang Tian to escort back to Beijing, so it was indeed a little surprising to see that little Japan was so respectful to the two young men. But before he could think about the truth, it wasn't until the group slowly approached that the sharp-eyed officials noticed that the sword on Liu Baokai's waist was very strange, and the bright yellow sword spike was fluttering in the wind......

====================

I'm very sorry, these days are full of trivial things, and I can't write a few hundred words a day, so it takes a bit long, but as a writer who insists on finishing the book, I am confident that I will not enter the palace!
