Soft sailing ships of several hundred tonnage are suitable for long-distance voyages, but in the Great Wei to the Wa Kingdom, Luzon, Srivijaya, including Korea, the Bohai Kingdom, as well as Vietnam, Champang, and Siamese countries, the route is generally in the coastal Shunyang before the epidemic, although the Fu ship and the Guangdong ship are hard sails, but in terms of the current trade route is also sufficient.

The design of the watertight cabin of the Fuchuan is also quite advanced, and the ability to carry cargo is no worse than that of the Taixi galleon.

Now is only the age of enlightenment of sail warships, and what really left the Chinese shipbuilding industry behind was the Spanish galleons that followed, then the Clark ships, and the Galen ships, which gradually changed from integrated pulp sails to double-decker sailing ships, and then to three-deck and four-deck ships.

The weapons ranged from angle jumps to the extensive use of artillery, while the Chinese-style hard sailing ships could not be equipped with more artillery due to the watertight cabin design, and gradually fell behind in the competition with Western-style sailing ships.

By the time of the steam warships, China had seriously regressed, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it could still rely on ants to bite and kill elephants, and by the time of the Opium and Chip Wars, the Qing sailors no longer had the ability to engage the British army at sea.

By the time of the ironclad warships, China's coastal defense had invested heavily in the purchase of a fleet, but because it was not developed by itself, there was no inheritance, and the corruption of the Qing army as a whole, the Beiyang Naval Division did not really form combat effectiveness, and when the First Sino-Japanese Naval War broke out, its true quality was tested.

Go down in flames!

At this stage, the Fu ship also has considerable practicality, because a major weapon of the soft sailing ship is artillery, and now the artillery of various countries is still in a fairly primitive stage, and the soft sailing ship is still based on melee jumping and angular warfare during the naval war, and the Fu ship is relatively not backward.

It is used in trade, and naval warfare is not weak, so why rush to build galleons?

Luo Fangbo has been overseas for a long time, and his eyes only see the trend, but he can't see himself clearly, especially Xu Zixian's needs.

Comparatively speaking, captains, sailors, trade routes, and the provision of shipbuilding skills and skilled workers were more important and popular to Xu Zixian.

The most important point is that a 500-ton galleon costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, and a good 300-ton fortune ship can be built in hundreds of thousands.

……

After all, Xu Zixian delayed for another day before preparing to go to Fuzhou Fucheng.

The newly recruited regimental training has entered the camp one after another, and Xu Zixian has personally set the candidates, asking them one by one, although he only said a few words, but he firmly erected his image in the heart of the new soldier.

After these two days, all the warriors will understand in their hearts that whether it is Li Changshi or Qin Sima, or those who have joined the military and joined the army, no matter who they are, they will listen to Nan Anhou's words in many big or small things such as recruitment, training, promotion, punishment, and reward.

Major events outside, even warehouses and wharves, Lin Dingyi and Yang Shi and a group of businessmen can be a lot of businessmen, Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian will not interfere too much, but it involves some security inspection and interrogation, which is responsible for Nan'an Tuanlian, the usual warehouse and wharf guarding, river patrol needs the cooperation of the wharf area, and it is also led by the group training, and the businessmen can cooperate.

Only the matter of group training is the top priority that Xu Zixian pays attention to, and even Qin Dongyang, with the respect of Sima, has no problem presiding over the daily camp affairs and training, and mobilizing the soldiers out of the camp, or to perform some kind of task, under the dispatch of a team, Qin Dongyang can be the master, and above the team, it must be agreed by Xu Zixian, Marquis of Nan'an.

In addition, the approval of new pawns into the camp, the rewards, punishments, and pensions of old pawns are all operated by Nan'anhou, and others are not allowed to interfere in it.

The nursing home, drain courtyard, cemetery and other places outside the camp were also created by Xu Zixian, which belonged to the greatest encouragement and welfare for the soldiers.

In two days, more than 3,100 new soldiers entered the camp one after another, and Xu Zixian was tired enough.

More than 1,000 people were disappointed, their physical fitness, and even their skills and cavalry archery had some foundations, but they lost in their past experiences.

may be brave and ruthless, and break the law.

It may also be that he has had a relationship with the Ranger Bandit and has a bad reputation.

It may not be filial to its parents, and its brothers are not in harmony.

There is also the experience of withdrawing from the box army, no matter what the reason, it will not be accepted.

These regulations are afraid that those slippery people will be included in the military team, and a grain of mouse feces will spoil a pot of porridge. Although Xu Zixian's military regulations are strict and effective, it is very likely that he will discipline the slippery and evil people into qualified soldiers, but why do they do this?

Those simple businessmen and ordinary people are born warriors, integrate quickly, accept military training regulations quickly, and know gratitude after receiving grace, those men who have the spirit of rivers and lakes are often brave in private fights and cowardly in public wars, and their minds are secretive, and they need to spend a lot of effort to raise themselves to succeed, so why waste time and energy?

Many strong men who were rejected were dissatisfied, and even groups of three or five scolded and left, and this situation was reported back, which also made Xu Zixian firm his determination, and this generation will never be available.

Most of his subordinates are old-fashioned, steady and kind-hearted, or tough, or clever, or brave, or loyal and simple, even if it is Liu Yi, who said that he was a gambler and a drunkard at the time, it was actually a sad encounter and self-abandonment, but he did not do anything to trouble the township, otherwise, Xu Zixian would not have wanted such people.

The weather in Fuzhou in March is already very warm, and most of the people who come and go have changed their winter padded jackets to thinner jackets.

There are some young people who pride themselves on being strong and strong, and they simply wear thin robes to swagger through the market.

Two large carts were parked in front of the courtyard, waiting to be loaded.

Xu Zixian's fortune boat is from Haikou into the Min River, directly docked at the Nan'an wharf, Xu Zixian wants to go to Fucheng, since he wants to buy special products from Jingshi Jiangling and other places, all the way to Fucheng.

"These are for His Royal Highness King Qi?" Xiaomei and Xiuniang helped to sort out the items, and saw some study utensils, including Huzhou inkstone, Hangzhou paper, and some brushes of different sizes, all of which were carefully made by master craftsmen and bought in sets, and the price was expensive.

"Hmm." Xu Zixian said to Xiaomei and Xiuniang: "Your Highness doesn't lack anything there, bringing these is just to show your heart." ”

The little sister pursed her lips and smiled: "What can I bring to my future sister-in-law is some flowers and plants?" ”

In addition to the study utensils for King Qi, there are also some celebrity calligraphy and paintings, given to the eldest brother Chen Zhengzhi, as well as a complete set of Ru kiln porcelain, some jewelry created by famous craftsmen in Beijing, to the old man and mother-in-law, in addition to Chen Duguang, Chen Duzhong, Chen Zhengbin, Li Mingyu, as well as Zheng Liqi, Yang Shiwei and others all have gifts, some are a calligraphy and painting, some are paper fans, most of them are produced by famous artists in the north, a small folding fan, may be worth more than 100 times, a teapot, is also worth dozens of times.

If Xu Zi gave these people money first, I was afraid that they would be thrown out, and if they gave these expensive and elegant items, they could vote for the favor of the big guys, and everyone would happily accept it.

As for the gift to Chen Wenjun, it is the flowers of the whole vehicle. "It's not easy to come by." In front of Xiuniang, Xu Zixian had no intention of saying more, along the way to Jiangling, sent people to Luoyang, to Beijing, and adopted it in many ways, spending a lot of money, this car of flowers, I am afraid that it is not much cheaper than that car of gifts.

"The mother likes flowers, of course she has to do what she likes." Xiuniang smiled gently, exuding a happy smile and luster on her face, Xu Zi came back for the past two days, and was not in a hurry to go to Fuzhou, but was busy with business, and of course he was extremely warm with Xiuniang at night...... For a little woman who had been married twice, and who had been unfortunate in succession, she was satisfied with everything she could now.

……

Xu Zi first entered the city and sent people to give gifts from house to house, Xu Ming was responsible for these small things, and he himself took the cart to the Changwen Marquis Mansion to pay a visit.

Chen Duguang, Chen Duzhong, Chen Zhengbin, Chen Zhengzhi, and almost all the high-level officials of the Chen family in the mansion greeted them.

Everyone bowed to each other, and then Xu Zixian gave the gifts to these relatives and elders one by one, and received a voice of appreciation and gratitude.

In fact, they haven't seen each other for too long, it's been less than three months, Xu Zi has been to the Changwen Marquis Mansion several times before, and these big names of the Chen family don't take him, the prince of Nan'an, too seriously.

At that time, Xu Zixian had already risen, and the Chen family would agree to the marriage, but the rising trend did not represent the real strength, in the eyes of an old Hou family like the Chen family, Xu Zixian's background was a little worse.

The two sides cooperated in the development of the Eastern Domain, and the Chen family also took it for granted that the development of the Eastern Domain was their own, and now that they were only three months apart, the Chen family had already found embarrassedly that Xu Zixian's identity and status were completely different from before.

The status of the prince is equivalent to that of the head of the family, Chen Dujing.

And there is the Nan'an regiment training as the base, the 6,000 official households of the Eastern Domain, the same knowledge of Qizhou, the defense envoy, the command of Shangzhai, the military and political power, the current Qizhou Zhizhou Lu Wenxian is cowardly, it is conceivable that it will be hollowed out.

Qizhou, Eastern Domain, and Nan'an, the three foundations are all grasped by the military and government, which is completely different from the situation where the Chen family only serves as civilian officials and does not involve military power.

In terms of rank, Xu Zixian's five-grade officials are not amazing, plus from the second-rank marquis, the five-rank regiment practiced guarding and catching, and actually completed a full set of power pattern configuration.

In another ten years, Xu Zi first became the highest position of the clan in the local area, or the governor of the capital, the deputy governor, or the envoy of the first army, at that time, the official position and the status of the marquis, plus the army, its status in Fuzhou, of course, is far beyond the Changwen Marquis's mansion, and the position of master and slave is completely different.

Giving gifts and bringing the cart in through the side door, Chen Dujing was also waiting at the instrument gate.

"I've seen my father-in-law."

The six salutes have been performed five times, only to greet in person, and the name has been decided, but Xu Zixian has not changed his words before, but this time he is a big salute, and he bowed in front of Chen Dujing, and his demeanor was extremely respectful.

Chen Duguang and the others all smiled on the side, before that, there were some complicated looks in their expressions, such as surprise, shock, admiration, envy, and jealousy, but now these complex emotions gradually disappeared, leaving only the relief and joy with the feeling of family affection.
