The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

At the end of November, Jeju Island, the first naval base of Damyung, was sunny, but it was unusually cold.

Since Qin Haoming led the cavalry battalion into Beijing, the Jeju Island Navy was no longer silent, and the entire East China Sea was in an uproar, without a moment of peace.

Lu Xinrong threw all the civil and military affairs to a few subordinates, but he plunged into the shipyard one by one.

Qin Haoming gave him the task of building Jeju Island into a large naval base in half a year, which could produce three warships and three transport ships per month.

In the past Liaodong War, the navy made a great contribution, almost dozens of times around the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and was busy every day without any gaps.

In this regard, Qin Du spoke highly of it, saying that half of the victory in the Liaodong Battle was due to the navy.

Lu Xinrong ostensibly accepted Qin Du's praise on behalf of the admirals, but in fact he didn't think so.

Why?

It is true that as Qin Du said, the navy has been running on the sea from midsummer to cold winter, and the officers and men have worked very hard and have almost a moment of rest.

But in Lu Xinrong's heart, it was just hard work and not merit.

The newly established Dingnan Army is the first to respect military merits, which is a well-known thing.

Although Lu Xinrong was born as a literati, he has been a leader for a long time, and he has already stimulated his inner blood, eager to make meritorious contributions and become rich on the battlefield.

But Jiannu did not have a naval division, and Lu Xinrong's navy was useless at all.

Only when attacking the islands around the Liaodong Peninsula, as if adults were bullying children, they bombarded a few small wrecked boats that Jiannu could not go out to sea, which was very tasteless.

Even the planned joint defense ended up in vain because Jiannu took the lead in withdrawing troops, which made Lu Xinrong helpless.

In desperation, he only honestly acted as a porter to help the Dingnan Army transport soldiers and materials, and laughed at the army's dominance, so that he was embarrassed by his always arrogant feelings?

At the same time, it also made him understand that if he still fought with Jiannu in the future, the navy would still play the role of porter.

After all, the navy of the Ming Dynasty has always been like this for a long time.

If the navy wants to show its talents, the only way to go south, the vast East China Sea, the South China Sea, and even the Pacific Ocean in the mouth of Qin Du is the place where the Ming Navy gallops the world.

The Yellow River and the Bohai Sea, after all, are the inland seas of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no place for heroes!

And if you want to compete with the Zheng family and Yangyi in the angry sea, it is indispensable to build a strong ship and a sharp cannon, which is where Lu Xinrong can see through.

As Lu Xinrong, who has pursuit, culture, quality and method, naturally knows that to realize his ideals, if the ship is the first element, then time is the second element.

In the office of Wang Senfeng of the Jeju Island Shipyard, all kinds of tools occupy almost the entire room, and on the only table, there is a model of a battleship.

It is more than a meter long and extremely delicately made, and what surprised Lu Xinrong the most was that the model seemed to be neatly cut through it.

From his side, it was a complete ship, but when he turned to the other side, it was gone, and the internal structure of the ship could be seen clearly.

Walking to the table, Lu Xinrong carefully picked up the model and held it up to his eyes to look at it carefully.

"This is the ship that Governor Qin asked you to build?" Lu Xinrong asked

"Yes, Commander Lou." Wang Senfeng said: "This model is exactly the same as the battleship that will be launched, but it is much smaller. ”

Put the model down, Lu Xinrong didn't understand shipbuilding technology, and he was not interested, he came to solve the problem, or to supervise.

"Wang Langzhong, what is the biggest difficulty in your shipbuilding process?"

"There's nothing difficult." Wang Senfeng shook his head suddenly.

Lu Xinrong frowned slightly: "Since there is no difficulty, can it be understood that you have more than a thousand shipwrights here, and there are more auxiliary workers, and you can only build a few ships a month?" ”

"Lord Lu, that's not the case." Wang Senfeng shook his head and said:

"It's not the manpower that restricts shipbuilding in shipyards right now, nor the technology. There are enough people to support us in building three warships at the same time, and the technology, there are thousands of skilled craftsmen here, and there is no problem.

The most important issue for construction is the timber reserves for shipbuilding. ”

"Wood?" Lu Xinrong was puzzled, "North Korea is full of mountains and mountains, not much else, and not many trees?" What do you want, why is there a lack of this? ”

Wang Senfeng's face was a little embarrassed, and he snorted for a while before he said: "My lord, those newly cut timbers can't be used to build ships, and the battleships built in this way can last for three or two years at most, and they will fall apart."

In particular, the keel of the ship has higher requirements for wood.

The Jeju Island shipyard was newly built, and there were no reserves for this area before.

As soon as he arrived, he chose some suitable materials, processed them, and stored them, but they could not be used until at least next year. ”

Lu Xinrong suddenly realized, but he was a little puzzled in an instant, pointing to the ship under construction on the dock and asking, "What's going on with that ship?" ”

"My lord, the timber for this battleship is actually transported from Dengzhouwei." Wang Senfeng explained.

"Okay, great!" Lu Xinrong clapped his hands and laughed: "In this way, the stock of Dengzhou Wei is not bad. So from next year, it will be possible to build ships on a large scale? ”

"Yes, sir." Wang Senfeng nodded and said: "Now we have been assigning people to the mountains to select materials, and the reserves will increase every day."

As the adults said, there is a lot of wood suitable for making in North Korea, which is much better than in Shandong.

With the selection of materials and storage nearby, next year, the construction of three warships can be started at the same time. ”

"Wonderful!" Lu Xinrong clapped his hands happily and said to Wang Senfeng with a smile: "I will leave the shipbuilding to you, and I will take care of the rest." ”

Thereupon. Lu Xinrong got into action.

Taking advantage of the fact that he had money in his hand, especially when the money came so easily, he spent a lot of money to buy coastal timber and save a lot of money for the Dingnan army.

Who plays with what birds, who brings what soldiers, Lu Xinrong has been following Qin Haoming for a long time, and he has long understood that set.

In this way, in order to settle down and gain a future, to welcome the Son of Heaven, and to determine the future of the Yugoslav Army, Lu Xinrong naturally did not think about the North Korean people and consider the ecological environment and human rights awareness.

Under the repeated destruction of scoundrels, bullies, robbers and other means, the people of North Korea were used to ravage the Korean forests and get countless timber for the Dingnan army.

The DPRK people are industrious and dedicated, the iron ore in Mosan is inexhaustible, the coal mines in North Pyongan Province are free, and even the 400,000 stone of grain looted in North Korea cannot be eaten for a while.

100,000 North Korean laborers, 50,000 Mongolian Tatars, tens of thousands of Dingnan Army soldiers, and countless and endless supplies of various materials, so how can Lu Xinrong lower his pursuit?

Driven by Lu Xinrong, Jeju Island quickly entered the era of full-scale production, with firearms workshops, iron workshops, and shipyard workshops.

Everyone is in charge of a stall, and the soldiers of the Dingnan Army lead the bandits and bullies like wolves and tigers, calling them brothers and sisters with a smile on silver and rice in one hand, and viciously trying to kill the whole family with big swords and crossbows and arrows in the other.

Since then, the people of all ethnic groups in North Korea have begun a life of fire and water with heaven on one side and hell on the other.

The output and progress of each workshop are reaching new highs day by day, creating a heyday of artisanal manufacturing production efficiency.

The shipyard's eight seagoing ships gradually revealed their skeletons, and the guns and grenades of the firearms workshop were squeezed out of the warehouse and began to be placed in the open air.

In addition to armor and weapons, the ironsmith workshop also combined with the woodsmith workshop to supply shipyards and firearms workshops in a comprehensive way.

Near the military camp of Dingnan, there is almost no place to stay.

Whenever the night is dark, more than 200,000 physically and mentally exhausted craftsmen and men gather on the beach in groups after washing and eating.

Facing the gentle sea breeze, breathing the salty breath, or crying to each other, or comforting each other, or laughing and talking about the past, or nostalgic for the homeland, enjoying the rare leisure time of the day.

Leisure is only half an hour, and when the time comes, the Dingnan army will urge a rest.
