Chen Er quickly brought it in, and this guy had a dusty face, and he bowed when he saw Li Chuan.

"Hurry up!"

Li Chuan pulled him up and asked, "But something big happened in Jingshi?" ”

Chen Er took a breath before he said: "Yes, young master, ten days ago, the emperor ordered Fang Zhenghua to reopen the East Factory, and the ministers of the court and the central government opposed it, the emperor has killed thirteen courtiers, and now the capital is boiling, and there are scholars everywhere who scold the emperor for being a faint monarch." ”

"Oh, reopening the East Factory?"

Li Chuan was taken aback, this news surprised him.

Although Emperor Chongzhen found that Wenchen was unreliable in the later period, he also began to reactivate the Zhongguan, but he did not reopen the factory guard, after all, the impact of reopening the factory guard is too great, which is not comparable to the appointment of a few Zhongguan.

Those civil officials finally beat the eunuchs down, but now the emperor has reopened the factory guard, and he knows what the reaction of those civil officials will be with his toes, and it is not surprising that he will kill someone with the urine sex of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Exactly!"

Chen Er replied: "Now there are scholars everywhere who scold the emperor for being stupid, saying that the emperor is a pro-eunuch and a distant gentleman, which is a sign of the death of the country, and there are even scholars who are angry and want to die." ”

"A bunch of idiots who read stupidly."

Li Chuan sneered, asked some more about the recent situation in the capital, and asked Chen Er to go down to rest.

A few days later, news came again.

Li Zicheng was forced by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting step by step, and he couldn't hold on and fled to Sichuan.

"The emperor wants to do something to the Jin merchants."

Wan Youqing also came, but the news he brought was not good news.

"What?"

Li Chuan was really taken aback at this time: "Those Jin merchants are not vegetarians, their forces are intertwined, not only are they constantly involved with many ministers in the DPRK and China, but they are also very deep-rooted on the side of Xuanda, not only can they hide it from the top to the bottom." One is not good, if there is a change in Xuanda, the fun will be great. Once there is an accident in the army of more than 100,000 people, it will be a catastrophe, but it is no better than those civil officials in the court who can only play tricks, and they will be killed if they are not happy to see it. Is your information reliable? ”

Wan Youqing said: "This is also a kind of speculation, a while ago the emperor received the Xuanda Governor Lu Jiandou Zhang, on Chen Xuanda dozens of generals and officials of the lawless, the emperor was shocked, and ordered a thorough investigation, but was opposed by the ministers of the court, so he ordered Fang Zhenghua to reopen the East Factory, and also killed more than a dozen of the happiest ministers who jumped, and now the outside is speculating that the emperor is going to clean up Xuanda." My lord said that he had secretly played the illegal affairs of the Jin merchants to the emperor before, so I guessed that the emperor might want to do something to the Jin merchants. ”

Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's not just brute, Lu Xiangsheng's idea is right, Xuanda's hundreds of thousands of troops have long been rotten, otherwise how could the Jin merchants transport so much grain and iron to Liaodong." If you want to do anything against the Jin merchants, it is necessary to clean up the Xuanda army, otherwise once the Xuanda heavy army changes, the north will immediately rot. ”

Wan Youqing's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something but didn't say it.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and another winter is coming.

This year's God is not too bad, not as cold as last year, Jinshanwei's military households have a much better life, in previous years at this time the military households have nothing to do, but this year is busy in full swing, every day there are a large number of cars and horses to transport greenhouse vegetables.

Li Chuan pinched the time and waited for Levin's news.

The first batch of five boats has already been launched, the best tests are being done, and they will be handed over after passing the tests.

At the beginning of December, just when Li Chuan and the others were impatient, the good news finally came, the first batch of five ships and his flagship could be delivered, and the remaining five were laying keels, which were expected to be delivered by May next year at the latest.

The deal was completed, and six boats appeared in an unknown amount of virtual space.

The hull of the ship is black, which is not beautiful, the hull on both sides is sprayed with white numbers, and the five cargo ships equipped with guns are Jinshan No. 1 to No. 5, and Li Chuan's flagship is named the Ocean.

The shape of the flagship and the five boats are similar, but there are significant differences in layout design and materials.

The most obvious is the use of space, five warships designed with the bottom of cargo ships can carry more than 300 people, and the number of people designed for the flagship is only more than 200, nearly 100 fewer than the five cargo ships, mainly because the ship's ultra-luxurious large living room, dining room, etc. occupy a lot of space, although the decoration grade is not as good as some luxury yachts, but it is also about the same.

The things arrived, but how to get them out was a problem.

Li Chuan had a headache for several days before he took the navy out to sea late one night.

Huang Tianxiang's 1,000 strong soldiers were classified as navy by him, and after a few months of training, they can be regarded as somewhat present, as for the life that has adapted to drifting on the sea for a long time, as for experience, it is not something that can be practiced in a few months.

Huang Tianxiang was very confused, and persuaded him several times, but he couldn't dispel the young master's decision to go to sea in the middle of the night, so he could only grit his teeth and set sail for the sea in the middle of the night, which is really not something that normal people do.

Although I don't want to be disrespectful to the young master, the thoughts in my head are incompetent.

The three treasure ships raised their sails and floated on the sea, there was no way to discern the direction in the dark night, and they didn't know where they would drift, and everyone was unstable, including Zhao Tiezhu and a few close friends, who couldn't figure out what the young master was crazy about.

Fortunately, hundreds of torches were lit in the naval camp, and as long as they were not too far away, they did not worry about not being able to go back.

After an hour of sailing, Li Chuan ordered the sails to be retracted and ordered all torches to be extinguished.

The big ship did not move forward, but floated quietly on the surface of the sea, moving with the current.

It was pitch black all around, Huang Tianxiang was full of question marks, asked a few times, and saw that the young master didn't say anything, so he had to do what he should do.

In the cabin, Li Chuan was also waiting.

After about half an hour, he controlled the distance, took the six boats out of the virtual space, and put them directly on the sea two hundred meters away. This is the maximum distance at which cargo can be spewed out in the virtual space.

The six boats entered the water by brushing the surface of the sea, and the movement was not large, although there was a lot of water discharged, but at a distance of two hundred meters, the three large treasure ships did not suffer any influence, so they did not know that there were six more big guys on the sea two hundred meters away.

Li Chuan got up and walked out of the cabin and ordered the torch to be lit.

Huang Tianxiang was confused, so he had to pass on the order.

Soon, torches were lit on three large ships.

The lighting range of the torch is limited, and the six large ships from 200 meters away cannot be seen at all.

"What about the high spotlights, take them out and see if there's anything nearby."

Li Chuan waved his hand again and ordered, and some soldiers hurriedly took out the long-range lights.

There is no need to explain, this is also bought on Taobao, the irradiation distance can reach 500 meters, or Li Chuan bought it for him last time when Huang Tianxiang went to Taiwan with him, but the battery is a bit big, and the weight can be dozens of catties, which is not very convenient to use.

"What's that?"

As the blinding light swept across the sea, the soldiers on board immediately widened their eyes and screamed.
