Approaching noon, the Qianqing Palace, the remaining smoke curling, it has recently entered winter, the transformed earth dragon has been burned, compared to the north wind outside, the interior is much warmer.

But Yu Zhigao, who was standing next, did not feel this warmth, His Majesty was waiting for his reply, and Yu Zhigao was already in a cold sweat.

"Back to Your Majesty, I can't win."

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Zhigao decided to tell the truth, but as soon as he said it, Yu Zhigao also knew that his career was over.

As soon as Yu Zhigao's words came out, Zhu Youzhen also breathed a sigh of relief, this person should still be usable.

In fact, Yu Zhigao also wanted to tell Zhu Youzhen that he could win, and then find the objective conditions that the soldiers of the warship were not enough to shirk it, and by the way, he exaggerated his ability again, and maybe he could fight for a meritorious service.

But in the end, he couldn't allow him to deceive himself after four years of thinking, he couldn't beat it, whether it was warship artillery or tactical thinking, he was a big step behind Zheng Zhilong's bandits, even if his father was alive, it was estimated that he was a defeat.

Times seem to have changed, and the Boat Jump Gang is no longer working.

Yu Shigao sighed in his heart, and said in his heart that his career was over anyway, so he should take it as His Majesty's grace not to kill, and then added.

"Your Majesty, about the Battle of Tongshan, the criminal minister has thought a lot in recent years, no matter what strategy is used, it is no different from defeat, and the criminal minister has been on the coast for a long time, and he has many contacts with Westerners.

After Yu Zhigao finished speaking, he knelt down with some trepidation.

Zhu Youzhen is still very satisfied with Yu Zhigao's answer that he will be defeated just now, and those who are self-aware show that there is still salvation, and Yu Zhigao has not shirked his faults, and his character is not bad.

Of course, if it weren't for Yu Zhigao being too upright, the responsibility that Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian, would have to bear, would not have been all on him.

In addition, Yu Zhigao's supplementary answer made Zhu Youzhen a little overjoyed, it seems that Yu Zhigao has not squatted in vain in the prison for more than a year.

"Oh? Yu Qing said, where should I start if I want to revitalize the water division? ”

Seeing that there was more expectation in Zhu Youzhen's tone, Yu Zhigao was a little surprised, thinking that the Son of Heaven was not ignorant of naval warfare.

Then, Yu Zhigao did not dare to conceal it, so he said the idea of building a large ship and casting artillery in recent years.

Although he didn't know the bottom of his heart, Yu Zhigao saw that Zhu Youzhen's face was getting brighter and brighter, and he knew that he should be talking about the heart of the Son of Heaven, and later he completely let go of himself, and bluntly said that he would invite the Dutch to help train the sailors.

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a while.

Yu Zhigao should have a certain naval strategy, but it is much worse in terms of being an official, not to mention whether He Lanren will come to help Daming train sailors, even Zheng Zhilong's level is not easy to explain.

Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch were mortal enemies, and now the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, which was monopolized by the Zheng family, was still snatched from the Dutch.

Yu Zhigao can not take care of Zheng Zhilong, but the court that has just appeased Zheng Zhilong must take care of Zheng's face.

Tianjin Kaihai is already slapping Zheng's face, and stimulating Zheng's nerves again will be a little more than worth the loss.

Although he did not agree with Yu Zhigao's strategy, it was enough that he could recognize the direction of the future development of the navy.

With Yu Zhigao's previous foreshadowing, Zhu Youzhen talked deeply with him about his naval development concept.

The idea of building the army of the cannon giant ship coincided with Yu Zhigao, and after playing it right, Yu Zhigao already had some reverence for the young son of heaven.

The great Ming knows that there are many soldiers, but those who know the water army are rare, and the seventeen-year-old Son of Heaven can have such insight into water warfare, Yu Zhigao is also secretly surprised, and he is a little more in awe of this young Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven was born to know it, and it seems that what he has passed on is true.

"Yu Qing, I want to rebuild the water division, I wonder if you can take on this important task?"

Zhu Youzhen saw that the heat was almost over, so he got to the point.

But this sentence scared Yu Zhigao so much that he couldn't speak.

Yu Zhigao didn't know what Zhu Youzhen meant, he was a general of the defeated army, he was still a prisoner in Dali Temple one moment, but the next moment he was entrusted with a heavy task by the Son of Heaven.

It's really thunder, rain and dew are all graces, and the instantaneous change of this identity makes Yu Zhigao a little unable to change.

This Yu Zhigao is really not good at being an official, when Yang Hao was used in prison, he didn't see Yang Hao's panic, Yu Zhigao's on-the-spot reaction ability is really average, and he is not a good general. ’

Seeing that Yu Zhigao was still a little confused, Zhu Youzhen was also a little unhappy for a while, but at the moment, it is clear that there is no more suitable general for the sailor than Yu Zhigao, and the general is drawn among the dwarfs, and this Yu Zhigao is the most suitable.

Zhu Youzhen put away his displeasure, so he briefly introduced his plan to establish a sailor in Tianjin to Yu Zhigao, and Yu Zhigao understood.

Seeing that a piece of cake was about to fall on his head, Yu Zhigao was grateful that his demeanor was not half fake, and bluntly said that he would die after doing his best.

Although he is not particularly satisfied with the candidate for the sailor, but in the current situation where there is no one available for the sailor, he can only let Yu Zhigao block it first, wait for the sailor to form a few battles, and then slowly draw out the generals who stand out.

The more than 100 students enrolled in the first phase of martial arts, after more than a year of study and training, already have the appearance of some grassroots officers, and half of them are selected to be sent to the water division as the backbone, presumably Yu Zhigao's pressure will be less.

Three days later, accompanied by more than 50 martial arts students, Yu Zhigao, the admiral of Tianjin's naval division, took office.

At the same time, the shipbuilders who had been recruited from Haojingao and the southeast coast had already arrived in Tianjin, waiting for Yu Zhigao and the navy to prepare for the funds.

In order to build a modern navy, Zhu Youzhen approved 3 million taels of silver in one go.

Looking at the empty inner treasury, relying on a few good news from Xishan to make Zhu Youzhen calm down a little.

Jenny loom was successfully developed.

In fact, from the traditional loom to the Jenny loom is just a change in the way the spinning hammer is placed, but if there is no reminder from Zhu Youzhen, a latecomer, this layer of window paper will not know how long it will take to pierce it.

But at this time, under Zhu Youzhen's order, the world's first vertical hammer textile machine soon appeared in Xishan Textile Factory.

Zhu Youzhen named it Liji.

The horizontal spindle was changed to a vertical spindle, and the loom that could only hold one spindle could be placed eight spindles at once, and the efficiency was immediately increased by eight times.

And it's still only experimental, and it's not impossible to put more spindles after improvements in the future.

In addition, under Zhu Youzhen's reminder, the craftsman made a slight transformation, and the machine could not only spin cotton yarn but also wool, which was another surprise for Zhu Youzhen.

Spun the wool from the north into wool yarn to make wool, and then export it, and completely wrapped the interests of the Mongolian tribes in the Ming Dynasty, which is undoubtedly an excellent means to win over the Mongolian tribes.

No relationship is as strong as forming a community of interests, and turning the Mongolian ministries into raw material sources for the Ming textile industry is the goal that Zhu Youzhen has been pursuing.

Relying on sheep herding can solve the problem of food and clothing, presumably the grassland people will not miss the days of licking blood from the knife edge.

Seeing that the textile factory is about to start construction and the research and development of glass has also made some progress, Zhu Youzhen has been in a very good mood recently.

was about to recruit the vassal kings to Beijing to hold the second shareholders' meeting, but an urgent report delivered to the Qianqing Palace at night disturbed Zhu Youzhen's good mood these days, and the matter of recruiting the vassal kings to Beijing could only be postponed.

Guizhou's Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan rebelled again.
