When Chongzhen had a headache for the courtiers who ate inside and out, the port of Fujian ushered in a special team, and the Westerners hired by Chongzhen returned to Europe to use the gold rewarded by Chongzhen to gather a large number of people, and then returned to Daming again.

"John, the king of whom you speak. Will you really send us a battleship, one of those with three gun decks?" asked Tom, who was behind John, with his eyes shining at his captain, John.

"Tom, I don't remember how many times you've asked me like this, I'll tell you again, that monarch promised me like this, but the big guy warship with three artillery decks you mentioned, I haven't seen any country build it yet, don't think about it, that monarch promised to send us a warship, but the premise is that we have to come up with design drawings and command the king's craftsmen to build it" John shook his head, a battleship with hundreds of guns on three decks, who doesn't want such a battleship, But it has to be built.

"It's okay, isn't there Uncle Ryder, I believe that Uncle Ryder will build this kind of battleship one day, and then we will drive this kind of giant battleship back, so that the shit governor who bullied Uncle Ryder will look good" Tom is very confident in this Uncle Ryder, you must know that Ryder's ability to design and build ships is first-class, if it weren't for the offended local governor, with Ryder's skills, he would not have been reduced to following his people to the end of the world, drifting across the ocean to this strange country, Except for a few explorers who are naturally adventurous, who would want to cross the ocean and live that life if they can have a decent life in their homeland.

"Don't worry, the empire we are going to occupy is much more powerful than the kingdoms where our hometown is located, here, a governor is in charge of much larger than those kingdoms, both in terms of population and territory, the key is that the king of this empire is very generous to us who are capable, this is the most important thing, isn't it" John laughed, and said while laughing, "Don't worry, that dear hometown, I, John, will one day take you back with the scenery, When the time comes, I, John, will make those who have bullied us pay."

A few days later, the Western warship in Fujian showed the holy decree given by Chongzhen, after getting supplies, along the coast all the way north, half a month later Tianjin Wei, Chongzhen after receiving the news, ordered a large number of Jinyi guards to stand by, John and others just landed on the shore by the Jinyi guards to protect or monitor and escort to the Beijing Division's Huitong Pavilion.

On the second day when John and others arrived at the hall, Chongzhen left Xu Guangqi, Bi Shekang, and Sun Yuanhua of the Ministry of Industry after the early dynasty, and Chongzhen met with this group of idle people who had taken the throne after they first ascended the throne, but what they didn't expect was that this group of people really came back, the reason why they were idle people, it was because Chongzhen did not have too much expectation for this group of people, with the navigation technology of this period, across the ocean, across most of the world, the danger is not something that ordinary people can imagine, At the beginning, he was just a casual move with a dispensable attitude, and even if he failed, he would only lose a little gold.

Originally, he planned to contact the Holy See in the West through John Tong, and obtain the support of the entire Holy See for his rights on the condition of supporting the other party's mission, but at present, it seems that the role of his casual move at the beginning is far stronger than he expected, in this case, there is no need for John Tang to contact him for the time being.

The flintlock pistol left by this group of people last time, Chongzhen was anxious to pit the emperor Taiji, and threw it to a little eunuch to put it away, and then he forgot about it, this time he saw this group of Westerners before he remembered it, compared with the last time he met, after the group of people under the stairs had their own funded gold, this time they came back to be much more generous, the last time I saw this group of Westerners, there were only seven or eight people in total, three or four flintlock pistols, and they were also worn in tatters, giving people a feeling of being broken.

This time I came back, not only were there more people, but I was also much better dressed than last time, and the Western dresses were neat and tidy, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

"John, what about the gift you promised to bring me last time you came back this time" Chongzhen asked John who was standing below, the gift Chongzhen was talking about was not a gift or anything like that, but various types of flintlock pistols in Europe today, as well as four-wheeled carriages, and the construction drawings of warships.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, your gift John had already prepared, but when he entered the city, he was taken away by your guards," John clapped his hands and shrugged his shoulders to explain to Chongzhen.

"The big companion asked someone to bring me the things that John brought," Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen beside him.

Soon a group of little eunuchs, holding a gift box, respectfully sent to the dragon case in front of Chongzhen, as the gift box was opened one by one, only to see that there were some flintlock pistols of different lengths, the workmanship of this batch of weapons was very fine, and the metal fittings on the guns were all gilded, which made these weapons look dazzling, even some wooden handles have been carefully carved by craftsmen, and each box is equipped with some bullets and ammunition paper packets, judging from the firearms in front of you, At present, the development of firearms in the West has far surpassed that of the East, and people have begun to manufacture various types of flintlock pistols in batches, while they are still playing arquebuses on their side, which is a bit big.

After reading these firearms, Chongzhen's eyes were once again attracted by a four-wheeled carriage in the hall, compared with two-wheeled vehicles, four-wheeled vehicles are still very advantageous, perhaps four-wheeled in terms of flexibility is far inferior to two-wheeled, but whether it is load capacity or pulling people, the carrying capacity of four-wheeled is not comparable to that of two-wheeled, compared with flintlock pistols, Chongzhen attaches more importance to four-wheeled carriages, flintlock pistols are not long after Bi Shikang, this guy, can also be made, but four-wheeled carriages that can be flexibly turned have not appeared in the east during the feudal period, With this technology, it was possible to build large six-wheeled carriages, which could be pulled by four horses when the time came, and oxen and donkeys would be used if there were not enough horses. These degrees are not comparable to walking.

With a four-wheeled six-wheeled carriage, they can completely get out of the bus and long-distance passenger transport system of later generations, although the efficiency can not be compared with later generations, but with their own in the current construction of the Chidao post stations in all parts of the country, whether it is to promote economic development or in the military transportation, even if it is only a prototype, the Ming Dynasty at that time and now are not the same.
