The blue waves are thousands of miles, and the sun is scorching.

The rainy season has passed a few days ago, and the weather is back to the hot and dry appearance it has had since June, as if this is the standard weather for this season.

Ten milky white warships broke the waves in the blue waves, and the ships with full sails were fast.

It's just that on deck, apart from the officers and men who operate the ships in shifts, not many people are exposed to the scorching sun.

Even the oncoming sea breeze doesn't bring any coolness.

However, there are still methods, and most of the soldiers who operate the ships wear a felt hat, but they will not be burned by the scorching sun, but they are just a little hard.

Everyone is not stupid, and frequently changing people to control the ship is one of the daily training subjects, and now it is no exception.

The skillful operation skills of sail warships originally require constant practice, so that they will become more and more proficient, and the combat effectiveness of the fleet will be maintained and even continue to improve.

Yesterday at noon, Zhu Youxiao left the waters of the Pearl River Estuary with a detachment of his detachment, and went directly to Yuegang and Putian Harbor without stopping, and inspected them one after another.

These two places have been completely calmed down, and the people of this area have no intention of being hostile to the Royal Navy officers.

After all, although they were able to barely make ends meet, they were not good at all, and most of them were just coarse tea and light meals a day.

Compared with the people in the north before August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the life of the people in the south of the Yangtze River is a little stronger, but it is not much stronger.

It is not uncommon to sell children and daughters, and the exploitation of the government and squires has never been broken.

Moreover, in the past three months, more and more taxes and miscellaneous taxes such as labor have been intensively pressed on the shoulders of these ordinary people.

If the Ming Royal Navy does not arrive, it won't be long before they will definitely have many people without food and clothing, and they will be displaced.

It's just that the people here are a little insensitive, and the oppression of those local tyrants and gentry and big families is basically submissive, and few people in the northwest of the Ming Empire are fierce.

The Royal Navy officers operate here in much the same way as they do in the north.

With the launch of a series of sweeping operations, both the government and the people, all the people who committed the most heinous crimes were exterminated, and the rest of the people were gathered and organized, and the original villages were all demolished, and the construction of the two basic national policies was wantonly planned.

However, those who oppose it will all be transferred to the labor camp and sent to one mine after another for labor reform.

This month, the port and the Putian port, within a radius of 100 miles, have only passed about ten days, and they have changed a lot.

First of all, a main road running through the two places has been completed, and dozens of large farms of 10,000 acres on both sides of Daguan Road have also been completed in this vast area between the two places.

The reason why it is so fast is because the people in the coastal areas of Fujian are very dense, there are many people, and all kinds of building materials are also very rich.

In particular, the production of main materials for buildings, suitable for the construction of large brick kilns and lime kilns, is everywhere.

With enough blue bricks, blue tiles and lime, as well as large bluestone that can be mined everywhere, it is too easy to obtain building materials.

Moreover, there are a lot of craftsmen along the coast of Fujian, which is mainly due to the dense concentration of large and small guards along the coast.

In this way, with enough building materials and craftsmen, and a large number of people, the promotion of the two basic national policies should not be too simple.

With the first batch of 1,000 best-performing families and craftsmen's families living in the new and gorgeous mansions of the big farm, people's enthusiasm was instantly awakened, and everyone's enthusiasm for work suddenly doubled!

In this way, in the vast area from Hong Kong to Putian Port this month, the speed of the promotion of the two basic national policies will naturally become faster and faster.

It seems that in less than two months, this piece of land, which is no smaller than the Pearl River Estuary area, will be fully renovated and completed. Jin Yong Chinese

In the past half a month, the 120,000 naval officers and men have not been idle, and they have divided into two routes, all the way responsible for cleaning up the large and small islands off the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang.

The other part is responsible for thoroughly cleaning up all the areas between Yuegang and Putian Port, and completely whitewashing this area where the three religions and nine streams are mixed.

Officially, because there are too many hooligans, ruffians, thugs, and bad squires, the scale of the labor camp is also very large, with hundreds of thousands of people.

This is still in the case of the part of the people who have copied the most heinous crimes.

One can imagine how densely populated it is.

The construction of the two large ports is also very smooth, and the huge bluestone wharf and the corresponding trestle bridge have been completed.

The two adjacent large port cities have also completed the construction of three vertical and three horizontal main streets and sewers, and the planning and construction of the city walls and houses is underway.

In less than two months, the construction of these two super-large ports and the large cities adjacent to the ports will be completed, and the area will be completely renewed.

After wandering around for a day, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied, pointed out the direction of the generals' next step, and continued to take the ten Leopard cruisers north.

Just a day later, ten large warships slowly sailed into the huge Qingdao port under the leadership of the pilot ship.

Colonel Zhu You went ashore, went directly to the nearby city lord's mansion, washed up, had lunch, rested a little, and came to the Qingdao shipyard, which was not too far away, under the support of a team of guards and soldiers.

This huge shipyard is much bigger than the Arthur shipyard near Port Arthur.

After all, compared with Port Arthur, this Jiaozhou Bay has a lot of territory, and it is easier to plan, not to mention, it is natural to make every effort to develop in the direction of His Majesty's favorite "high, big and up".

Today, the Qingdao shipyard has been completely completed, and the huge timber yard is filled with age-appropriate timber from the Liaodong Peninsula and the Goguryeo Peninsula.

On top of the huge slipways lined up, the first Leopard cruisers had already opened their keels and were under construction, and the scene was spectacular.

It's not enough to describe it as bustling and hot.

According to Zhu Youxiao's visual observations, there are definitely no less than 500,000 craftsmen and auxiliary workers working in this huge shipyard.

At present, all the shipyards of the Qingdao shipyard and all the shipyards of the Lushun shipyard are concentrating all their forces on the construction of the Leopard cruiser.

Within two months at the latest, they will build two batches of ninety-six huge Leopard cruisers of the latest generation, allowing the officers and men of the three Royal Navy fleets to gallop freely on the sea.

At that time, every Royal Navy fleet will have fifty-two Leopard cruisers, and the mere thought of that scene makes people's blood boil!

Once such three naval fleets are formed, then for a long time to come, with the continuous service of forty-eight large warships every month, the combat effectiveness of the Ming Empire at sea will reach a new height.

No matter who it is, when it encounters these three huge naval fleets, it will definitely be as big as a fight, and even have the ability to crush the Westerners, those Western fleets composed of Galen warships.

At present, on the slipway numbered No. 1 and No. 2, the construction of two test ships that began to be built before Zhu Youxiao set off for the south is nearing completion.

The hulls of the two great warships have been completely formed, and they are ready to hang sails for sea trials after the masts and rudders have been installed, and now the craftsmen on board are still putting the finishing touches on the ship, and have begun to clean up some of the debris and other debris left on the ship.

The arrival of Zhu Youxiao made the craftsmen of the two slipways quickly stop their work and quickly kneel down to greet them.

Although most of them don't know the emperor, under the leadership of a few masters who have seen the emperor, how dare they be a little lazy?

It's a good life now, but it's a good life that I couldn't have imagined in my previous eight lifetimes.

Under the constant propaganda and indoctrination of the soldiers of the Guards, everyone must owe all this to His Majesty the Emperor.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is grateful.
