"What does this have to do with me? My people haven't touched. ”

Yang Xin said casually.

The square in front of him was a mess, full of scarves that had not been picked up, and there were still a few pools of blood on the ground, and it was clear that someone had been trampled on after all. And standing in front of him at this moment are the three scholars of the cabinet, they came in a hurry when they heard the news, and there are a bunch of imperial histories behind them, these guys were originally blocked at the Qianqing Gate to see the apocalypse, but they were also led out by the chaos outside.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but they really bumped into it on their own!"

Yang Xin said.

His army of bandits remained in place, and the five green worms were still strung to their spears.

That's proof.

These men were stabbed in the back, and his Bandar army remained motionless, as the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard and the Pro-Army Guard on both sides of the city wall could testify.

Since the Dangkou army does not move, and these green insects are pierced in the back, it is not a matter of the Dangkou army, in order to avoid someone from robbing the prisoners, it is their duty to use spears to set up defense lines around the prisoner car. The green worms themselves deserve to be unlucky, could it be that in order to avoid accidentally injuring the green worms, the Dangkou army still put down their weapons regardless of their duties?

What if there is a prisoner?

In short, this matter has nothing to do with Yang Xin and the Dangkou Army.

It was an accident.

That's all.

"The oracle has arrived!"

The shouts of nine thousand years old rang out from behind.

Fang Congzhe glanced at Yang Xin deeply, turned around with Han Yi and the others, and then looked at the nine thousand years old who hurriedly walked over......

"Holy Message, the stampede caused by the crowding of the royal street, resulting in the unfortunate death of five people, this is the result of my poor consideration, the sacrifice of prisoners was cancelled, and a cadre of prisoners was sent to prison pending trial. The deceased Liu gave Deng Shi Zuolang, and the four children gave Shi Zuolang, each giving his family a hundred taels for burial, and those arrested for trespassing on the royal street were all released. Jin Yiwei commanded Tongzhi, and Yang Xin, the commander of the Dangkou Army, mishandled it and fined him for one year to set an example! ”

Nine thousand years old shouted.

Well, that's it.

The emperor has spoken, otherwise what else can he do?

Anyway, the five green worms died in vain, and the other can't be regarded as a vain death, they also got the honor, one is nine grades and four are from nine grades, which is enough to be worthy of them.

They can be written on the tombstone to glorify their ancestors.

Yang Xin was also fined for one year, and he was also fined 300 stones!

"That's not good!"

Fang Congzhe said earnestly.

And then he just left.

Han Yi just glanced at Yang Xin, and then brushed his sleeves away, he is still very upright, at least he can stick to his principles, in fact, he is against this matter, but it is useless for him to speak. And Liu Yixian didn't even look at Yang Xin, as for those imperial histories, they didn't even bother to talk to this kind of traitorous minister, of course, the main thing was that the gold medal in Yang Xin's hand had not been put down, and I have to say that Yan Shenggong's confusion caused a lot of trouble to Confucianism. In short, the siege that forced the Apocalypse in the Qianqing Palace for several days and did not come out was so vividly dispersed by the torrent of nearly 100,000 people in Yang Xinxin.

"Admiral, what about these people?"

His officers said cautiously.

He's talking about the Nine-Rank Honors who are still strung on their spears.

"Come on a few people, wash the floor!"

Yang Xin shouted at the Jinyi guard in front.

This kind of trivial matter doesn't need him to care about, he took the Dangkou army to take the prisoner to the edict, and then went directly to see the apocalypse, but the little emperor has obviously lived a very fulfilling life these days......

"You're back!"

Apocalypse said.

"Your Majesty, this mast is mistaken!"

Yang Xin said.

Well, His Majesty the Emperor has been following the pattern he gave these days, and has gathered a few craftsmen to make a model of a sail battleship, as for the model, of course, it is the Victory, but his model is larger, and the length alone has to be one zhang, as for the artillery inside, it is just a small cannon made of brass, and the internal structure is roughly the same.

Apocalypse gestured to the craftsman, who hurriedly asked Yang Tongzhi for advice.

Then immediately after the revision.

"Can you really make such a mighty battleship?"

Apocalypse said.

The model in front of him was almost finished, and on a special shelf, one by one the cannon doors opened and the muzzles stretched out, and it could already be said to be domineering.

"Your Majesty, two hundred years ago, we were already able to build enough treasure ships for Zheng He, why can't we make warships of the same size now? However, this kind of warship belongs to the treasure of the town, and it needs the imperial court to devote all its financial resources to complete, and the minister gave His Majesty this picture, which only made His Majesty understand how powerful the warships at sea can be. At present, we do not need such a warship, because there is no rival to it at sea, and the one that has been commissioned in Europe should be the strongest of the British Crown Prince, which is roughly half of the strength of this ship.

And to really build this kind of battleship, you need a lot of teak and oak, you need sailors who are familiar with soft sails, and more importantly, you need a lot of silver, even a million taels.

This is not a priority.

But this kind of boat is the most needed at the moment. ”

Yang Xin said.

He gave the model of the Victory to the Apocalypse nothing more than to satisfy the fantasy of this fifteen-year-old boy, who doesn't like this boy at this age, and his real purpose is something else.

It is also the most suitable for Daming Shui Shi at present.

Red single boat.

European hull Chinese hard sail.

With twenty or thirty twelve-pound or even nine-pound and six-pounder guns, they can run rampant in the current East Asian seas, and they can also fight a decisive battle with the European colonists, and the Dutch have no real warships in the East, they are nothing more than a bunch of thin-skinned and stuffed armed merchant ships, and the level of the red single ship is enough to deal with.

What's more, this thing is cheap and suitable for mass manufacturing.

And the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty can make it.

It is true that the late Ming Dynasty has lagged behind Europe in science and technology, but it must be understood that the Ming Dynasty, whether civil or official, has never stopped learning from the strengths of others.

After the Portuguese arrived in the Ming Dynasty, their galleys and sailboats immediately spread all over the Daming coast, and after finding that the Fur machine was better than the Tiger Squat Cannon, the Ming army was all over the Fur Machine, and even made this kind of thing so cheap that an ordinary recruit's annual salary could afford it. After it was found that the iron cannon of the Japanese army was better than the musket of the Ming Dynasty on the Korean battlefield, the bird gun became the standard equipment of the Ming army to a certain extent, and even after the Battle of Tuen Mun found that the Dutch plywood boats were more powerful, in just a dozen years, there were a bunch of warships with dozens of guns on the southeast coast.

After Zheng Zhilong became the general soldier of Fujian, his flagship was equipped with more than 30 cannons.

Daming is always learning.

Even after discovering that the European self-striking clock was very good, a bunch of watch shops were quickly born in the city of Nanjing.

Less than 20 years after the introduction of telescopes, Daming has already made them themselves, and they are equipped with cannons with big brains.

Not aiming, of course.

Rather, it is to accurately observe the landing point of the shell after the shot.

This is an era of opening up to the outside world and accepting any new technology, and the first Chinese to open up to see the world is not Lin Zexu, but this generation of Ming people three hundred years ago......

"This?"

Apocalypse looked at the small model that was made purely from scraps.

"Can this be made?"

He asked a craftsman.

"Back to Long Live Lord, this is easy, as long as there is silver and then prepare all the wood, the villain guarantees that it will be made for the Long Live Lord in half a year, in fact, if it is in the shipyard in Zhejiang, the villain can be built in three months, but this cannon is not something that the villain can understand."

The craftsman said cautiously.

"Don't you have a military camp in Dagukou? Just build there, there is shipbuilding wood in Tianjin, I transferred the Gegu coastal defense battalion to the command of the Dangkou army, and the left and right places are also dependent on you, and then ordered the Ministry of Industry to transfer some craftsmen to you. It just so happens that you brought back 700,000 taels, took out 100,000 taels from it, and finally built a few ships, as for the cannons, Huang Kezhang made a batch of Hongyi cannons in the Ministry of Industry, but I look very shoddy according to the articles you gave. ”

Apocalypse said.

"That's inevitable, it's impossible for our Ming Ministry of Industry to make qualified quality, cutting corners is essential, it's not Huang Kezhang can change, he is indeed a loyal person, but the entire Ministry of Industry has to make money, even those craftsmen can't count on those workers to support their families."

Yang Xin said with a smile.

Apocalypse nodded approvingly.

"This is still made by the minister, and there is no Ministry of Labor, even if the minister opens a factory and sells it to the imperial court."

Yang Xin said.

Apocalypse nodded.

The two of them studied the warship, mainly because the apocalypse listened to Yang Xin's rendering of the golden mountain of Sado Island, which emperor didn't want to grab such a good place? However, if you want to seize it, you must have the ability to go on an expedition first, and since this was instigated by Yang Xin, it is natural that he has to do this preparation.

Now it's time to get down to business.

"These scholars and speech officials are becoming more and more rampant, they are simply bullying me like a child, I now understand the situation of the emperor's grandfather, a group of such officials in the court, a group of such scholars in the people, there is no one in his hands who can really fight and kill, whether it is a military general or a brocade guard, even the palace is a group of people who collude with these people, they are unreliable, he really has to endure it.

I felt like an imperial grandfather in the past few days, and I simply threw everything to Elder Fang Ge and Wei Zhongxian.

I really wanted to wait for you to come back and just kill someone.

But these twists and turns in the southern capital made me have to endure it, I understand this time, this Ming said that it is my country, but I don't want to talk about the world, even this palace may not really be able to have the final say.

Who knows how many more Wang An are in this palace?

Who knows how many Luo Sigong are in Jinyiwei?

It's like this in the palace, not to mention in the capital when you leave the palace, when those officials are rampantly blocked outside the Qianqing Gate, who are those nobles who are retired with the country come out to help me, and then out of the capital, it is only four hundred miles away from me, there is already such a thing as the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and you can imagine what it looks like no matter how far away.

I'm like the lonely man.

That is, you and Wei Zhongxian are what I can really believe, but the three of us monarchs and ministers can't compete with the whole world after all! ”

Tianqi, who returned to Hongde Hall, sighed with a melancholy face.
