It was another month before Chen Zijian came to the shipyard, where he was nervously building the number of ships that Chen Zijian requested.

The rudimentary version of the Fu ship has already come out, and this kind of Fu ship uses a large number of iron nails to reduce the mortise and tenon structure, and the speed of building it is not to say. Originally, a mortise and tenon structure required a boatwright to complete a few days, but now it is not needed, one iron nail can be easily completed, and one is not enough, then two.

The use of iron nails in shipbuilding is an important milestone, and Chen Zijian does not expect this kind of wooden boat to last for more than ten years, but only a few years.

Or a few years later, the shipwright's shipbuilding experience will be even better, and then it is not necessary to build a good ship, so now Chen Zijian does not require the quality of the Fu ship to be good, as long as it can be used.

Fifty Fubunes began to clean up the final work, how to say? Rich and capricious, Chen Zijian built fifty lucky boats at a time, which is a big deal, and it can be built at the same time, because the manufacture of this kind of lucky boat is much simpler, and more than ten experienced masters can build it with hundreds of new people, which is why Chen Zijian asked to build ships with iron nails.

Otherwise, according to the previous mortise and tenon structure, a ship needs to be built by a large number of experienced shipwrights, and Chen Zijian found so many experienced shipwrights.

Fifty new-style Fu boats docked at the riverside, the formation lined up is quite spectacular, Chen Zijian came over this time, in addition to coming to visit, there is also with the artillery needed by the Fu boat, this kind of artillery imitates the captured Hongyi cannon, why Chen Zijian can imitate the Hongyi cannon, simple, because he has a simple lathe, a simple boring machine, relatively mature steelmaking technology, making the imitation of artillery much simpler.

Chen Zijian's artillery barrel uses a cast steel column, and then uses a simple lathe, boring machine slowly turned out, because there is no suitable tool, the manufacture of the barrel is some waste tools, the knife usually takes half an hour, it will be crippled, there is no way to do it, can only rely on the craftsman to improve the quality of the knife.

Of course, Chen Zijian has a way to solve it, but he just ignores it, let the craftsmen solve the problem by themselves, the industrial system needs to be slowly improved, weapons like Hongyi cannons, Chen Zijian really needs, and can buy them directly, but this is not conducive to the development of the industrial system, what Chen Zijian wants is that the craftsmen slowly explore the manufacturing process of the Hongyi cannon, and then innovate during the imitation period to create the artillery technology of the Chinese people.

Is this method particularly familiar, yes, it is the copycat culture of later generations, Chen Zijian took it and used it.

With fifty ships, twenty of which were converted into warships and the remaining thirty were used for transportation, Chen Zijian wanted to firmly grasp the sea area of eastern Guangdong Province and cut off the trade between the East and the West from here.

The reason why Chen Zijian wanted to cut off the trade between the East and the West was very simple, because the current trade between the East and the West did not benefit the imperial court at all, and it was impossible to obtain a penny, and the huge benefits obtained from the trade were divided among the civilian clique and its affiliated groups.

If the profits obtained from the trade between the East and the West reach 50 million silver, of which 45 million are intercepted by the civil official group, and the remaining 5 million silver is the cost of the people, after all, it takes cost to manufacture goods, and the people actually profit very little from it, and after deducting the cost, the benefit life obtained is a little stronger than that of other places, how many people can the civil official group, compared with the huge common people's class, the number of the civil official group is more than 10%, but it is this 10% of the people who account for 90% of the trade profits. A great deal of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few powerful people.

Where do these conclusions come from? It was all Chen Zijian's idle guess, no matter how many trade interests were generated, there was a certain result, that is, the imperial court did not get a single profit, and the civil official group controlled the imperial court, panicked and created an open sea ban that was not good for the imperial court, and then secretly traded by himself, concealing the Son of Heaven sitting under the dragon from top to bottom. Anyone who dares to expose this lie and wait for an accidental death!

Conscientious officials knew some of the inside stories and wrote to the Son of Heaven, but unfortunately they were intercepted by the civilian clique in the process of writing the book, and they were burned down, and the official ended up either betraying the interests of the country and being imprisoned, or falling off his horse while riding a horse and dying.

Trade is controlled by the civilian clique, Chen Zijian has no dime, since this is the case, then turn the table, cut off the trade, no one wants to make money, if there is a trade cargo ship passing by, then intercept it, drag it back to their own territory, robbery is the most profitable way.

Isn't Zheng Zhilong, who is entrenched in Fujian, just robbing his family, but Zheng Zhilong has some scruples about doing things, as long as he pays the tolls, he will not do things perfectly, because the current Zheng Zhilong is edicted by the imperial court, and he has to take into account the interests of civil officials.

But the rising Chen Zijian bandits have no worries, they arrange gunboats to intercept at sea, and when they encounter a small sampan, they have to be towed back to Dianbai County by Lao Tzu, and the ships full of goods don't want to escape.

Blockade of sea routes, and there is to face the current sea coachman Netherlands, the Netherlands in this period, the national strength reached the highest peak in history, and then there was no then, the Netherlands in this era is the hegemon of the sea, with excellent shipbuilding technology, control of global trade, as for Spain, Portugal or something, has declined.

As a new force, Chen Zijian wants to challenge the sea overlord, using wolf pack tactics.

Chen Zijian's Hongyi cannon is not much different from the artillery of the Dutch, it belongs to the same generation of weapons, although the Netherlands is the hegemon of the sea, but he has a fatal weakness, more prominent than the British, that is, its land area is small, the population base is weak.

The Netherlands can become the hegemon of the sea, relying on the power of weapons, when Chen Zijian has some similar artillery, the advantage of the Netherlands is gone. At most, there is still a lot of power left in the ocean.

As for Chen Zijian, it is a pity that with the wolf pack tactics, the Netherlands was defeated, Daming has enough manpower for him to use, he can easily form a navy of 100,000 and tens of thousands of warships, can the Netherlands compete with such a sea force.

Chen Zijian looked at the battleship in front of him, which was the starting point for him to dominate the world.

Wu Shan, who was originally an ordinary shipbuilder, is now the person in charge of the shipyard, managing tens of thousands of people.

Wu Shan was beside Chen Zijian, and he admired this top boss, not for anything else, because he changed the way of shipbuilding, making the shipbuilding speed extremely fast, and the shipbuilding time of a lucky ship can be completed in only fifteen days, of course, the premise is that the raw materials can be guaranteed.

"Chief, this batch of lucky ships is about to be completed, will it continue later?"

Wu Shan was a little apprehensive in his heart, because Chen Zijian had a task, and he, the person in charge, could display his talents.

Chen Zijian: "Hehe, 300 shipbuilding tasks, you can find a way!" ”

To build a lucky boat, Wu Shan's offer to Chen Zijian was 500 silver coins, and 500 silver coins to build a lucky boat with a length of 47 meters and a width of 15 meters, the price was low.

The cost is so low, because this is just the cost, in which the shipwright's salary and shipbuilding materials are not counted, and the shipbuilding materials, the timber mill provides the materials, and the shipyard uses them for free, because the timber mill is run by Chen Zijian.

There was a report from Dianbai County that large boats were needed to go to sea to fish, and the demand for Fu boats was greater, and Chen Zijian was currently only building Fu boats, because this was mass production.

Disassemble a fortune ship one by one, and then make it in advance according to each part, and then splice the parts together in the dock, so that the shipbuilding speed can be compared in the world.

Chen Zijian has a great demand for this kind of lucky boat, and with the platform of the lucky boat, it can be slightly modified and changed into a warship, a transport ship, and a fishing boat, with various uses and changes at will, so it can be said that one ship can be used for multiple purposes.

The volunteers carried the Hongyi cannon onto the battleship and installed the cannon in the reserved position, which only the volunteers could do, and outsiders could not touch the artillery.

Ten guns on the left and right of a battleship, this is the sea weapon of this era, and the range of artillery is territory.

The navy is a professional discipline, uh, well, some, the current navy is not too difficult, it is nothing more than familiar with the battleship, just know how to fire guns, it is complicated, but it is not very difficult, it is nothing more than a matter of drills, go to sea a few more times, find pirates to practice, and you can almost become a navy.

Chen Zijian's tactical requirements for the future navy are wolf pack tactics, no matter what tactics you have at sea, more than a dozen warships will besiege enemy ships together, and in the case of little difference in weapons, it is useless to face wolf pack tactics.

Chen Zijian: "Come on, call Zhang Wu back to me, I've been playing at sea for so long." It's time to come back with a team. Chen Zijian planned to hand over the newly established navy to Zhang Wu. Before, he was asked to take ships to train on the sea, and at the same time looked for nearby pirates to practice, but I don't know how many pirates he found.

At this time, Zhang Wu, who was located on the sea surface of Hailing Island, ordered a fire attack on the pirate nest artillery on the island.
