In the fifteenth year of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, just after the Lantern Festival, Yang Lin, the emperor of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, was pulled to the dock of Tianjin Port. www.biquge.info Yang Lin stood on the edge of the wharf, looked eastward, looked at the Bohai Sea, and looked deeply touched by the bustling Tianjin wharf in the past.

At this time, the sun is in the sky, the temperature is slowly rising, the waves are lapping the coast, the white seagulls are dancing, shuttling between the waves, constantly crying, Yang Lin is standing beside a woman, with a graceful posture, a strong suit, quite a woman's temperament, a happy military uniform set off her like Mu Guiying in the world.

The wheat-colored complexion, the long neck, and the melon seed face, especially the chest, I don't know if it is because of the soldiers, look extraordinarily strong, which can be called a great achievement.

After a moment of silence, Yang Lin turned his head and looked at the woman: "I said, Min'er, you are in your twenties, and you are almost thirty, don't mix in the army anymore." What's there to stay in there, hurry up and find someone to marry~ Otherwise, you will become an old girl, and no one wants to marry if you want to. ”

The woman is none other than the orphan girl adopted by Yang Lin, Zhao Min. The difference between the two is only a few years.

Listening to Yang Lin's joking words, Zhao Min didn't care, he was tired of hearing it for a long time. However, a pair of eyes like a fox still flashed a glimmer of brilliance, and it was fleeting, and he said disapprehantly: "Big brother, I don't, what's the good thing about getting married?" I want to learn from Minister Shi, Wang Cong'er and General Wang, they are all my goals, until one day, I will also be a general in the army, as a Mu Guiying of the Great Guang Dynasty, leading troops to fight and defend the territory. ”

Yang Lin didn't dwell on this issue anymore, and then asked puzzledly: "Amin, what is the matter with you pulling me here?" In such a hurry? Can't you say it in Beiping? ”

Zhao Min smiled sweetly, without the free and easy demeanor of a soldier, he stretched out his slender jade arm, grabbed Yang Lin's arm directly, and said affectionately as if no one was around: "Big brother, don't worry?" Wait a little longer, and you'll know why I've dragged you here? ”

Yang Lin nodded, did not ask, and seemed to be very accustomed to Zhao Min's intimate actions and titles. After a short silence, Zhao Min asked incomprehensibly: "Big brother, I really don't understand, the entire coastal area south of the Yellow River is almost completely open. Let people do business, private cargo ships and cruise ships can be used at will. However, how did the Bohai Sea become a forbidden place, and only naval warships were allowed to pass through. ”

Yang Lin's complexion was a little different, and he felt a little strange in his heart, even though there were countless beauties in the harem, including Chinese and Western beauties, as well as princesses from various countries. However, the softness coming from his arm still made his heart flutter, and his tone was a little strange.

"Amin, that's not quite what you're saying. Not only the warships of the Navy can sail in this sea area, but also the ships of some special departments can also pass on the surface of the Bohai Sea. Moreover, the reason why the Bohai Sea has been turned into a forbidden zone and idle ships are not allowed to pass through, you should know that one of the military research departments of the Navy and the research and development department of the Jiangnan Shipyard are located on the Korean Peninsula. ”

Hearing this, although the words were vague, Zhao Min showed a sudden expression, and nodded lightly: "Big brother, I know, the reason why the Bohai Sea is classified as a forbidden area and other idle ships are not allowed to enter, and there are still a large number of naval ships patrolling around the Bohai Sea to blockade it, is it so that the warships developed by the two research institutions will not be leaked, is this the case?" ”

"Yes, that's exactly the case, from Weihai in the south to the easternmost bulge of the Korean Peninsula in the northeast, which just encircles the Bohai Sea. It is only necessary to garrison troops in two places and build batteries along the coast, and it does not require too many naval forces to block the entire Bohai Sea. ”

"Moreover, Amin, the Bohai Sea is different from other seas, it is almost an inland sea, and even if it is blocked, it will not affect the development of the imperial court and trade with foreign countries. The most important thing is that the sea situation in the Bohai Sea is similar to that of other sea areas, and there is no problem in the development of warships that can navigate the Bohai Sea and operate on other seas. ”

At this moment, Zhao Min's eyes flashed with a bright color, and he said excitedly: "Big brother, you still haven't said anything~!" ”

"Oh~Which point?" Yang Lin asked pretending not to know.

"Hehe, big brother, don't pretend anymore, don't test me so much. Who doesn't know that the Bohai Sea is not only an inland sea, but also the capital of the Great Guang Dynasty, and the families of the high-ranking generals of the imperial court are all in Beiping. If the Bohai Sea is blocked, then Beiping City will be safer, which is really a two-pronged battle. ”

Before the two could continue talking, a familiar and unfamiliar whistle sounded, it was the sound of a steamer. Hearing the whistle, Yang Lin was shocked, and couldn't help but look up, only to see a cruise ship coming out horizontally, traveling from northeast to southwest, and constantly approaching Tianjin Wharf.

Seeing this scene, Yang Lin almost couldn't believe his eyes, and exclaimed: "Steam engine steamship~!" ”

Huo De turned his head and stared straight at Zhao Min, with a look of excitement on his face, and asked, "Amin, when was the steam engine steamship successfully developed?" Why haven't I received any messages? ”

"Big brother, don't blame Marshal Shi. Although he is the director of the Jiangnan Shipyard, I have always been in charge of it. Especially Joffrey and Schemmington Fulton, when they were developing the steamer engine, I greeted them, and they were not allowed to report to you until the steamship was fully mature. Zhao Min looked self-reproachful.

Yang Lin had already woken up from the shock, but he still couldn't help but worship in a deep mood, and said meaningfully: "Amin, listening to your words, it seems that this steam engine ship has been developed a long time ago, but it is not fully mature. ”

"Well, yes, big brother, in the seventh year of the Great Canton Dynasty, in September, the team led by Fulton developed the 'Claremont', and the sea trials were successful. The Claremont has a total length of 45.72 meters, a width of 9.4 meters, a displacement of 100 tons, and a speed of 6.4 kilometers per hour. However, the technology is still too crude and immature, and the amount of coal consumed is still very large. So, I let them continue to improve. ”

"No, at the end of last year, the steamship had been successfully improved, reaching a top speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Moreover, both the cargo capacity and the smoothness of operation have been greatly improved. ”

Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction, didn't say anything, but looked straight at the surface of the Bohai Sea, the steam engine steamer had docked next to the dock, and the relevant personnel were getting off the ship, led by the marshal of the Thunder Navy, Zhang Bao.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Lin also knew that it was Joffrey, Xue Mington, Fulton and the scientific and technological talents of the Great Guangchao.

Soon, everyone came to Yang Lin and shook hands cordially, Yang Lin's behavior made those people a little flattered. Since ancient times, it is the first time that an emperor has shaken hands with others.

After some greetings, Yang Lin looked at Zhang Bao directly, with a smile on his face, and asked directly: "Marshal Zhang, you have also experienced this steam engine steamship yourself, and I won't talk about the advantages." Now I want to ask you, with the current shipbuilding capacity of the imperial court, how many such warships can be built and equipped into the navy within half a year? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao looked excited, his face was full of excitement, and after a while, he said with some discouragement: "Your Majesty, the navy can be equipped with such a warship, and the last general is happy in his heart." However, if a large number of steam-engine ships were to be equipped, it would be a very large financial expenditure. Moreover, the last general also made some understanding, the steel required by the steam engine steamship is not comparable to ordinary steel, and requires an extremely high forging process. In addition, there is also a great demand for iron ore for smelting steel. ”

Yang Lin understood, and immediately said: "Therefore, even if the imperial court fully supports the finances, there must be a supply of high-quality iron ore. Otherwise, it is also impossible to mass-manufacture steam engine steamers and equip them to the navy. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what the last general means."

Zhang Bao's answer was a little listless, more or less hopeful. In any case, the steam-engine steamer did not have to be equipped with other armament. After a long time at sea, no one knows better than Zhang Bao how important it is for the navy to have good warships, which almost determines whether a naval battle is won or not?

However, the desire to equip steam engine steamships in large quantities cannot solve the practical problem. However, without waiting for Zhang Bao to think more, Yang Lin began to issue a series of orders to boost everyone's morale.

"Hmm... In any case, since the development of the steam engine steamship is equivalent to crossing a critical hurdle, the next thing is to find high-quality iron ore. In this way, Marshal Zhang, after the trial voyage is over, immediately go to your wife, that is, the minister of industry of the imperial court, and the two of you will go to the two courtyards together, so that Zhao Xiang can quickly organize a large number of exploration teams to explore for high-quality iron ore throughout the country, suitable for the manufacture of iron ore for steam engine ships. ”

"In addition, throughout the country, in addition to some necessary industrial facilities, the high-quality steel smelted will be given priority to the Jiangnan shipyard, and as many steam engine ships as possible will be built and equipped into the navy. Moreover, the finances of the imperial court will be fully supported, asking for money for money, and asking for people to give people. ”

Zhang Bao was still in a low mood just now, and immediately became excited, with an ear that couldn't believe himself, almost an unconscious instinctive reaction, and he was too excited: "Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?" ”

"Well, of course it's true~!" Yang Lin nodded, and then, after a change of words, he suddenly said: "By the way, after these things are arranged, you immediately organize all the naval and military generals to study the tactics of the steam engine steamer, how to combine the good maneuverability and fast navigation of the steam engine with the navy, so as to exert greater combat power and prepare for the use of steam engine and steamship in the future." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao's heart finally put down, knowing that Yang Lin was not joking, let alone talking, nor was he relieved, this was really supporting the construction of the navy and equipping the steam engine ship into the navy as soon as possible.
