There is also good news, the construction of three battleships, which began in March last year, has been successfully completed and one can be delivered to the Navy for service. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Huang Sheng was even happier when he got the news of the battleship's launch than when he learned that Chu'er was pregnant, and immediately took the generals to see the effect.

This battleship with a three-story all-gun deck was 19 zhang long, the waterline was 11 zhang long, the keel was 12 zhang long, the width was 4 zhang and 5 feet, the draft was 2 zhang, the displacement was 1,500 tons, and it was equipped with 77 guns.

The gun deck was armed with sixteen 32-pounder guns and sixteen 24-pounder guns, four of which were rifled guns, and the middle gun deck was equipped with 20 12-pounder guns, four of which were rifled, and the upper gun deck was equipped with 20 9-pounder guns, including four rifled guns.

The bow deck was armed with one 32-pounder smoothbore gun and two 24-pounder rifled guns, and the aft deck was equipped with two twelve-pounder rifled guns.

This battleship should be the largest warship in the world today, although the British "Sea King" is larger, with a displacement of 1,700 tons, but they have not yet begun construction, and it will be eight years before it is successfully launched.

Huang Sheng asked to go to "Huaxia Island" in person, but Zhao Shimin did not stop him, but followed him on board, and they had already run back and forth between Huangjiawan Island and "Huaxia Island" a few times, and they had confidence in this battleship.

In order to be prepared, Huang Mingdao and a group of military attachés asked Liu Liangcai's "Liaodong" to set off with more than a dozen new-style warships loaded with many sealed pontoons.

Chopping the waves all the way, the speed of the ship can reach eight knots, plus the manpower drive propeller can exceed ten knots, this battleship without an army crew can reach six hundred, Huang Sheng named this battleship "Huaxia Sea Power".

Huang Sheng now has a balance of 800,000 stone grain in his hand, so he naturally has to lay it out.

There will be at least 800,000 stone of grain to be transported back from the upcoming trip to Nanyang, plus the output of his own tuntian, and after the more than 200,000 people of the Huang family system are fed this year, there will be more than 800,000 stone of grain that can be used to help the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Sheng arranged for the fleet to go to the coastal ports of Daming to transport rice back to the sea trade goods, and the granary in the new area of Wang Gongchang in Jingshi could store 250,000 stone first, Funing County could store 150,000 stone, Tianjin Wei could store 150,000 stone, and Lianyungang in Haizhou, Huai'an Prefecture could store 100,000 stone.

Food can save the lives of too many people in troubled times, this is what Huang Sheng can do for the people of the Ming Dynasty, with these food prepared in advance, it is completely possible to save hundreds of thousands or even millions of people of the Ming Dynasty when the spring is not harvested.

Huang Sheng is ready to continue to accept displaced people from the disaster area into his system to work in the tuntian, because the disaster victims will not resume production if they stay in the disaster area, and the thieves in Shaanxi will not provide the opportunity for the people to produce and save themselves.

They want to destroy the fragile balance, because only by producing a large number of proletarians will the thieves grow, and these thieves will wreak havoc on a place, and they will deliberately destroy everything, and the people who have escaped will not be able to survive when they return home.

In later generations there was also such a bastard remark, called what forced free people to become proletarians and participate in the great revolution!

The naked bandit logic, the innocent people who died of hunger and cold were ignored by these vicious politicians, because they became vested interests after the vigorous revolution.

Huang Shengduo rescued a common man from the disaster area, and the thieves may have one less source of soldiers, and there will continue to be people who drag their families to work in the Huang family system, which will make the Huang family gradually stronger and form a virtuous circle.

The thirst for food makes it important to run the South Seas, and the constant import of grain from foreign countries will benefit the entire Han nation, allowing many Han people to survive during the harsh Xiaoice period.

Chongzhen's two-year trip to Nanyang departed on May 21, not only for the goods of the Huang family and the maritime trade partners to be transported, but also to undertake the goods of various merchants to communicate with the north and south.

The battleships "Huaxia Haiquan" and "Liaodong" went to sea, 24 small battleships of the "Yangzhou" series, 50 No. 2 Fu ships and grass skimming ships, 36 sentinel horse ships, and 200 cargo ships such as horse ships, Fu ships, Galen ships, and Zhuyin ships, with a total tonnage of 150,000.

There were 12 small battleships headed by the "Jiangyin" and more than 100 warships of various other kinds that remained on Huangjiawan Island in the "Huaxia Island" to maintain the safety of the route.

The left-behind force was so strong that it was enough to deal with emergencies, and Huang Mingli's task was relatively easy, although the head of the family took away five archers and all the firearms and marine troops.

Because Huang Sheng arranged for him to focus on ensuring the immigrants of "Huaxia Island" and not to contact Jiannu for the time being, Hou Jin Jun felt that this mysterious group of men and horses had disappeared out of thin air.

Houjin's red gangster is quite jealous of Huang Sheng, he has repeatedly sent unshaved Han spies in vain to try to infiltrate the Huang family system to learn Huang Sheng's strength, but unfortunately the Huang family's armor defense is too good, most of the spies can't come to the Huang family's island at all, and they will be found in Zhongming Fort.

The Huang family has taken the practice of supervising and working on suspicious people who come to the island to isolate them from the world for three years, which is too good, and the red gangsters have sent more than 100 spies, and now they are all working in the Huang family system.

This is the advantage of using the island as a base, it is not easy for the enemy to infiltrate, the neighbors here watch and help each other, strangers will be discovered immediately, those who cannot prove their innocence cannot leave within three years, the intelligence work is time-sensitive, and of course the red gangsters have found nothing.

Houjin could only learn about Huang Sheng's recent situation through the leaky Ming officials, and the information that the Red Gang had was that Huang Sheng withdrew from the Ming officialdom in Ding Wei, and he would not lead troops for about three years.

The red gang ordered to pay close attention to the actions of the Ming court, and found that the Ming Emperor ordered Huang Sheng to be reinstated as soon as possible.

And Huang Sheng seems to have been forgotten by the Ming court for a long time, and he can't get any news related to him at all, and the information that the red gang got was still a long time ago, and the content was that this adult became ill from hard work, and it seemed to be very serious, and Hou Jin was cursing Huang Sheng for his early death.

Huang Sheng didn't know that Baxiao had already set his sights on him, so he took the voyage fleet all the way south, stopping at Fushan, Daishan, and Taiwan along the way, and passed by Longgang again to show military deterrence Zheng Yiguan and then went directly to Manila to trade, and then came to Feifu Port.

The third time he came to Quang Nam, the Ming fleet was warmly welcomed, Hu Minh Son on behalf of the lord Nguyen Phuc Yuan came to see Huang Sheng, the last time Da Ming expressed his willingness to provide force to help Quang Nam expand to the west, public opinion in Quang Nam was in an uproar.

The lord of the country, Nguyen Phuc Yuan, thought that his territory was too long and long, and he had already been attacking westward, and the combat effectiveness of the country established on the ideological basis of Theravada Buddhism in the Lancang Kingdom was not good.

The generals under the command of the Lancang king Pawu Bar Yuwala always relied on a stone city with a circumference of seven or eight miles to hold on, and every time the Guangnan Kingdom could not be attacked for a long time and had to give up the territory in his hands and retreated with hatred.

This stone city called Xialiao is a key point, if the Great Yue Kingdom obtains this city to expand the land to the west for 200 miles, and with the garrison of the strong city, it can completely consolidate the land obtained.

The king of Lancang also knew the importance of Xialiao City, and the general stationed there was his confidant, and the army had 5,000, and when he found the invasion of the enemy country, the number of people who came to Xialiao City for refuge could reach 100,000, and the number of young and strong people who assisted in defending the city was no less than 20,000.

Because the Lancang Kingdom attaches great importance to this city, the materials are fully prepared, and the water, food, and wood are enough for 100,000 people to use for more than a year, so every time it is surrounded by the enemy, it can exchange time for space.
