The next day, Shen Yue got up at Yue'er's urging and almost missed the hour.

The people in the school field were already lined up, and Shen Yue was staring at him, and Shen Jiu took his place as an instructor.

"Sir, do you think these people can be used when they go to sea?" Shen Yue looked at Min Zhuang who was training in the queue in the distance, and asked Shen Da who was standing with his hands in his hands.

"Young Master is ready to go to sea? At present, it is impossible to use it in combat to ...... order and prohibit it, and it must not be used in combat," Shen Da shook his head, "The warship is equipped with a lot of fire, and none of these people have touched firearms......"

"It's not a battle, and it's back in five days at most."

"Young master, it's not more than five days to get to the island ......of Taiwan," Shen Da said with a frown.

"Who said to go to the island of Taiwan?" Shen Yue's intention to go to sea is clear, but the purpose of going to sea is very general, and he does not organize goods, let alone deploy personnel.

There was not the slightest preparation for going to sea for trade.

Shen Da didn't know what Shen Yue was going to do, and many times he wondered if Shen Yue was shirking responsibility and making excuses casually, and now he couldn't do anything if he didn't go to sea.

If the dependent subordinates are thrown aside, the Shen family can support it for a long time.

"There is no need to organize the goods." Shen Yue shook his head, according to the plan, the problem is not called a problem.

He had all the things he needed to prepare, just waiting for the raw materials.

With raw materials, you can definitely make a lot of money by making something.

"Young master, why don't you want to do that unfounded deal?" Shen Da's first reaction was the same as Yue'er's, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Young Master, even if we have four warships, the crew has no combat experience, and we can't deal with the powerful maritime merchants, once discovered, the Shen family will be doomed." ”

Shen Yue went to sea, did not organize goods, and made it clear that he was doing business without capital, and was ready to rob the money and goods of other maritime merchants.

Falling into the grass is a last resort.

Once Shen Yue became a pirate, Xu Yaozong couldn't protect him. Maritime merchants are also merchants and thieves, everyone knows, but the bandits who only do business without capital will naturally not be able to do well once they are discovered.

"Who said you want to do that no-brainer? Of course, if you encounter a lone red-haired ghost, you will naturally rob them! Shen Yue pouted and said, "Sir, if you don't worry about this matter, you can go to sea with me, but if you go to sea, no one of us will be able to preside over the training of Minzhuang, Shen Jiu is too young to hold back ......"

"Aren't you really doing that no-brainer?" Shen Da didn't believe it.

Shen Yue nodded, and did not explain.

Let Shen Da, who was staring at him in doubt, continue to stare at the training, and he went to the craftsman to see if the repair of the warship had been completed.

The various utensils that were required to be made by craftsmen were basically made before the training began.

"My lord, the other utensils are all made of them, and four giant crossbows have been completed, each with twenty arrows." When Shen Yue arrived at the workshop, Chu Qingqi reported the situation to him.

The craftsman had the wages advanced by the Shen family, and he was full of food and strength, so he naturally returned to work.

The original desolation and dilapidated of the workshop is no longer visible.

Two of the four warships have been repaired, and a thin iron sheet with a thickness of about two millimeters has been made, and iron nails are nailed to both sides of the ship, especially the waterline and the bottom, Shen Yue also requires that the iron armor must be covered, and the thickness must reach about an inch.

In this way, the ship is not easy to sink, and at the same time, it is no longer necessary to press the bilge with sand and gravel to ensure the stability of the navigation process.

The first ironclad ship was covered on the outside, and the bottom had only just been completed.

There is only one shipyard in the workshop that can repair the bottom, and Shen Yue was originally worried that he would not be able to add iron armor to the bottom to keep the center of gravity stable, but after seeing the workshop, he realized that he was thinking too much.

As with those car inspections, there was a pit in the dockyard that went down into the ground, and the boat was easily solved by towing the boat to it using the principle of rolling logs and levers.

Today's docks are dry docks, and after the ship is built, it is pushed into the water using rolling logs.

"Prepare, in three days, I need a warship to go to sea, can you do it?" Shen Yue asked.

"My lord, I can't complete the armor covering work within three days." Feng Zhenglun and Ma Yuliang both shook their heads.

"Ironclads are not needed this time." Shen Yue knew that with the current production efficiency, it was not easy to cover a warship with iron armor.

The manufacture of iron sheets, industrial production, can be directly rolled out in large pieces, with consistent thickness and smooth surface.

In the Ming Dynasty, the iron blank could only be heated by craftsmen and hammered into iron sheets continuously. Without pressure machinery, the hammer in the blacksmith's hand had to be smashed out of the iron sheet.

The number of blacksmiths themselves is not much, and with the addition of apprentices, there are no more than forty people.

"Each ship has two giant crossbows in its bow, and they must be as firmly fastened as a mast! The installation position cannot affect the firing of the Hongyi cannon. Shen Yue put forward his own requirements, regardless of how these craftsmen installed them.

The 400-material warship is not big, but it is not small, and the bow deck area is large, so it is not a problem to install two giant crossbows at all.

Shen Yue was about to go to find Xu Yaozong, but was stopped by Xu Jiao, he didn't see him for a while, and he was still arrogant: "Shen Yue, you said that you would take me to the sea, do you still count?" ”

"What's wrong?" Shen Yue's brows jumped.

"You just have to answer the number and not the number!" Xu Jiaobei bit her lip, looked at Shen Yue in a daze and asked.

"The sea is rough and turbulent, why do you say you are suffering?" Shen Yue didn't want to take Xu Jiao.

"I know what you came to my dad for, borrow troops from him, don't think about it, now he is still worried that there are not enough soldiers in his hands, three days ago, the patrol warship of Guanhaiwei Town encountered a red-haired ghost, three against one, the other party's boat was still much smaller, and in the end, only one of the three was intact...... Xu Jiao knew that Shen Yue wanted to borrow troops.

The news revealed in her words made Shen Yue's eyes fall out.

The Dutch came this way?

Thousands of kilometers away!

"If you agree to take me out to sea, I will take with me a hundred of my soldiers. It's a good deal, right? You only have two warships that can use ......," Xu Jiao said proudly.

As soon as Shen Yue decided to go to sea, she knew the news.

At the same time, he also knows what Shen Yue lacks when he goes to sea.

Xu Jiao's proposal made Shen Yue moved.

The red-haired ghost running into the sea area of Ningbo Mansion will definitely not be an accidental phenomenon.

Didn't you say that it was only on the coast of Fujian?

Shen Yue originally planned to borrow dozens of soldiers with combat experience from Xu Yaozong, and then draw strength from his own Minzhuang team to learn, a 400-material warship, equipped with about 88 people, 60 people as combat soldiers.

"Senno-sama can agree?" Didn't you say that Xu Yaozong was a soldier?

"What if he doesn't agree? The officers and men under my command were all selected by me and trained with the other, and I did not agree, he could not be transferred. Xu Jiao was even more proud. What's more, this is my family, recruited with the dowry money given by my mother! ”

"Can you handle artillery?" Shen Yue's eyes lit up.

"But all the firearms that I am equipped with in Longshan can be operated. It's not hard to sail and maneuver. Getting on the horse is just as easy. "Xu Jiao's tail is going to rise to the sky.

This is the Marines?
