Bang!

A whole set of cups and utensils became fragments, and in the county government of Baoqing County of the Ming Empire, Ning Zeyuan, director of the Ming State Maritime Administration, looked at a slightly distorted face that was stimulated by anger, and roared at the subordinate officials: "Why haven't Zhou Li and his son come to see me yet!" Are they rebelling against the Ming Dynasty?! This pair of pirate father and son don't want to think about it, without the promotion of His Majesty the Emperor, their family can have today's scenery? Send someone for me! Even if it's a corpse, you have to carry it back for me! I don't believe it, dozens of warships just went down the drain! ”

The Maritime Safety Administration is a ministerial-level administrative department specially established by the Emperor Qin Feng of the Ming Empire, which is the same as the six ministries in terms of specifications, but does not need to be under the jurisdiction of the Political Affairs Hall, and is directly responsible to the Ming Emperor Qin Feng.

And Qin Feng's main energy is focused on military warfare and finance, and he has delegated a lot of management power to the Maritime Administration, and Ning Zeyuan, the director of the Maritime Administration, is naturally the No. 1 figure in the Ming Kingdom.

Ning Zeyuan, who was originally born in the maritime merchant family of Chu State, trusted and supported Emperor Qin Feng, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a liver and brain, this time it was the main fleet of the Ming Empire Navy, starting from Baoqing Port for a new round of 'hunting', only this kind of major event is qualified for Ning Zeyuan, director of the Maritime Administration, to come to Baoqing Port in person to preside, but the fleet has just been out for more than a day, and only a dozen warships of dozens of warships are left intact, which makes Ning Zeyuan how not to be angry?

What made Ning Zeyuan even more frightened was that along with the news of the defeat of the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty, there was also the news that the unknown fleet was coming to Baoqing Port!

This was the reason why Ning Zeyuan was anxious to summon the fleet commander, General Zhou Li.

"Report !! My lord, after General Zhou Li received the news that the enemy ships were coming to Baoqing Port, he took all the remaining warships to intercept him, and he asked his subordinates to bring a message to the adults - people are in the port, and people are lost in the port! ”

After Ning Zeyuan heard this, he sat back on the Taishi chair like a deflated balloon, and the county magistrate of Baoqing County and a group of officials on the side stood tremblingly in the lower position, you look at me and I look at you, looking at you at a loss......

"I see, you go down." After Ning Zeyuan sent back the soldiers who reported the news, his eagle-like gaze swept to the officials standing under the county government, and ordered in a deep voice: "Now you already know in your hearts what the situation is, Baoqing County has encountered an unprecedented strong enemy, we must hold on until Lord Ma (the chief officer of Changyang County) transfers troops to help, everything you can have now is from the prosperity of the Ming Empire, and the profits brought by Baoqing Port every year have not been less, and now, the time has come for you to do your best!"

I don't care what method you use, you must mobilize all the young and strong who can go to the battlefield, the weapons of the arsenal are open to supply, Baoqing Port is an important naval base of my Ming Dynasty, swords and spears are still enough to use, most of the civilians in Baoqing County have received preferential benefits from sea trade, I think, it should not be difficult to mobilize tens of thousands of people. ”

"I will obey my lordship's orders."

In a chorus, the entire Baoqing County, up to the county order, down to the small tax collectors in a neighborhood, began to work hard to gather young people to deploy weapons.

The Ming Empire is popular with the people, and the policy of high-paid officials has been further reflected, perhaps many Ming officials are not really loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but they are really because the Ming State does not care about the assessment policy of the birth to sit in this position, they may not be morally bad, but they are all shrewd people with a little ability.

Under the 'civil servant' style assessment implemented in the Ming Empire for several years, the mediocre talents have basically been brushed down, and those who come up are capable people, these people may be very greedy, but their abilities are recognized, such people naturally know very well that protecting the interests of the Ming Kingdom is to protect their own interests, and now the power of foreign enemies has not really been shown, and they will fight for it as a matter of course.

At the same time, the first shipyard of the Ming Dynasty, which was established in Baoqing Port, was also one of the two large shipyards of the Ming Empire. Who makes it possible for our families to eat meat and wear new clothes every year? Who divided the land for our big guys, so that we have the land and family business that has been passed down from generation to generation? ”

"It's the Ming Empire! It's His Majesty the Emperor! ”

The crowd below suddenly sounded the shouts of the people's hearts, different from the civilians of Baoqing County who need to be mobilized, the craftsmen of these shipyards are more preferential to the Ming Kingdom, Qin Feng's degree of attention to craftsmen has attracted worldwide attention, not only the salary is far higher than that of other industries, and the encouragement policy of attaching importance to the development of new technologies, but also to the craftsmen who are outstanding in technology and shrewd and hard-working have listed their official bodies in detail!

Although the official status of these craftsmen has no rights and only ranks, they are serious officials after all, and the lofty status is unimaginable to the craftsmen who were once looked down upon!

It is conceivable how loyal these craftsmen are to Emperor Qin Feng and to the Ming Empire.

In addition to those field camp soldiers who are brainwashed on a daily basis with high salaries, these craftsmen who have been discriminated against in various ways and are now rich and landed have become official masters, it is precisely because these craftsmen are grateful and desperately serve Qin Feng that the Ming Kingdom will use just a few years in weapon technology to surpass the original old power, and develop a series of powerful weapons such as new repeaters and thunderbolts, as for the technological progress in people's livelihood, it is countless!

Originally, relying on the laws of the Ming Kingdom, these craftsmen had the right of first refusal, but these craftsmen had already taken root and multiplied in Baoqing County, and their families and friends were all here, and a craftsman's salary could easily feed a family of more than a dozen people, and the reward of the land was needless to say, how could they be willing to leave here?

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Baoqing County does not have much military strength and is unable to escort these craftsmen.

The decision of these craftsmen was also very simple, they did not think that the powerful Ming Empire would be defeated, and it was better to fight for the country than to abandon their family property and relatives at the end of the world.

The rumbling and resounding cannons outside had already told everyone that even if they fled, they might not really survive, the enemy was coming too quickly, and General Zhou Li's fleet was too completely defeated......

Under the unity, all the young and strong craftsmen took a variety of cold weapons, the Ming Empire established the country by force, the weapon building industry was extremely developed, and the army's weapons were replaced immediately, so there were standard weapons eliminated by field camps everywhere, and the quality of these weapons was still quite good, even better than the cold weapons used by the regular armies of other countries, after all, the smelting technology of the Ming Empire was the first in the world!
