Of course, although the new warship has the [Qiming] steam engine as a new type of power, it is simply a wild talk for the Ming Dynasty at this time to build a new pure steel armored battleship!

First, the three major navies are about to prepare, and there is no time to build steel warships; Second, it is to build a full-body ironclad battleship, which undoubtedly requires a large amount of steel, although the empire has built more than a dozen new steel plants of different sizes, but after all, it is almost limited, not to mention that Zhu Jian can't use all the steel for ironclad battleships.

The birth of steam locomotives is imminent, and the mass production of rails is imminent, which means a large demand for steel!

Of course, if you want to build a steel-hulled ironclad battleship, it is undoubtedly a huge expense, the empire is in ruins, it is when it needs money, although the treasury is full of a lot, but it also means that it can be used at will, and this new warship is a big hole!

Therefore, considering a series of factors, Zhu Jian explained two things to Li Heyi.

First, build two ironclad warships first.

Second, the new warships adopted a steel (steel keel) wooden hull structure, and the wooden hull was covered with iron armor, and the new warships adopted two sets of power systems: steam engine and sail.

In addition, the structure of the new warship is to adopt the so-called ironclad hull model of the later generations, each ship is built with four layers of armor, and the firepower of each deck is configured with ten red-coat cannons and ten furlong machines, a total of eighty guns per ship!

Of course, it is far from enough to only have ironclad battleships, but Zhu Jian allocated another one million taels of silver from the treasury for the expansion of the shipyard, introduced Dutch shipbuilding technicians, and then designed a series of sail battleships, which refer to Western sail battleships, but the scale of each ship is small, so it can be produced on a larger scale.

Of course, in addition to supplying some of the warships built by the Dengzhou Shipyard to the Dengzhou Naval Division, most of Zhu Jian was intended to be used to equip the South China Sea Naval Division.

First, Zhu Jianxin opened the Guangzhou commercial port, which needed to expand the strength of the imperial navy, and as for the previous Guangzhou naval division, it was really embarrassing to reuse.

However, after Renxuan, the Ming Dynasty began to shrink the coastal defense line, the ocean-going fleet was recalled, the construction of large ships was stopped, the island base was abandoned, the retreat policy caused the naval division to be severely damaged, and the coastal defense line was pressed back to the coast from the open sea or even the outer ocean.

The Blue Sea Guardian has become the Coastal Guard!

Its coastal guards were empty, and the morale of the sailors was low; The fleet is reduced, the ships are damaged; The coastal defense strategy has regressed, and the coastal defense line has shrunk. In the face of these precarious conditions, the main thing to develop is to develop ocean-going trade, and it is necessary to eliminate the drawbacks and build a new navy!

Of course, the most important thing is to shape the concept of sea power, which should liberate the entire empire from agricultural civilization and move towards an open blue ocean!

And the driving force is the wealth of the ocean!

Second, if Zhu Jian wants to build the East China Sea Sea Division first, it will undoubtedly conflict with Zheng Zhilong's forces, or give the Zheng family a kind of stimulus, even if Zheng Zhilong has no opinion, it does not mean that his subordinates have no opinion. For Zhu Jian, it was not easy to reach an agreement with Zheng Zhilong to exchange the price of the marquis for a partnership, and under the condition of limited strength, Zhu Jian was naturally unwilling to break this delicate state.

What's more, the control of Guangzhou, which took the route of Southeast Asia and the West, compared with Zheng Zhilong's Japanese business, its profits are not equal.

However, he said that the matter of coastal defense should be put aside for the time being, after all, it will take several months to build a ship at the earliest.

Although it is important to rectify coastal defense, there is a more important thing for Zhu Jian to deal with, and the day after tomorrow is the day when the list will be released, although at this moment Jinyiwei is detaining Zhou Yanru with a password, but for Zhou Yanru's hand behind the scenes, Zhu Jian does not dare to slack off.

This is a top secret, in order not to startle the snake, Zhu Jian appointed Liu Hongxun to personally check the gate, and together with the Political Affairs Bureau, he visited all night.

In addition, Zhu Jian even used 'iron and blood' to further collect evidence from the masterminds behind the imperial examination case.

And when Iron Blood handed over a list to Zhu Jian, the name in front of him made Zhu Jian a little difficult, but as the emperor of the empire, Zhu Jian was between giving and taking, which was more important, but it was clear.

Without the means of a thunderbolt, the empire will be ruined!

Zhu Jian is naturally very clear about these.

"Someone! Inform Lu Xiangsheng and ask him to personally lead the team, these people on the list, tell him to be heavily guarded, and don't let anyone go in and out without my will! ”

"In addition, inform Wang Chengen that the list in the palace will be handled by him!"

After that, Zhu Jian turned around and walked towards Kunning Palace, but between his steps, he was a little heavy.

Jingshi, Jiading Bofu.

Zhou Kui, who was originally born in the corner of the city wall of Beijing, calculated that he would become a relative of the emperor one day, but he failed to calculate the day when he would also be imprisoned.

At this time, the Jiading Bofu was already surrounded by the troops of a battalion of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and the leader of the team was the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army, Yixing Bolu Xiangsheng!

What kind of team is the Dragon and Tiger Army, Zhou Kui naturally knows, new training, well-prepared, bloody battle Jingshi, imperial eagle dog!

In short, this is a pro-army of the emperor! Except for the emperor, no one can command the movement!

Facing the sharp blade inserted in the electric switch outside the mansion gate, under the moonlight, there was a chill that was pressing, but it made everyone in the Jiading Bo Mansion here in danger.

"I hope that Madame will go and be able to protect my Jiading Bo Mansion."

Zhou Kui in the lobby was sad, and if he hadn't had a premonition and sent his wife into the palace to see his daughter, I'm afraid that Zhou Kui would have collapsed at this moment.

At the same time, it was not only Jiading Bo Zhoukui who was 'protected' by the Dragon and Tiger Army, but also Tian Guifei's father, Tian Hongyu, the governor of Zuodu, etc., and the princes who were arranged by Zhu Jian to return to Beijing from all over the country were also involved in this matter.

As for the original ministers, there were many participants, even Han Yi, the minister of agriculture and industry and commerce, but he was also implicated because of the relationship between his disciples, but because Han Yi worked for state affairs and did not know about it, Zhu Jian did not implicate him.

It can be said that the first spring since the reform was undoubtedly an earthquake in the Ming officialdom!

But it was said that Zhu Jian came straight to Kunning Palace, firstly, he was busy with state affairs these days, but he came a little less, and secondly, because of the matter of Jiading Bo Zhou Kui, the father of Zhou Ning'er.

However, just when Zhu Jian was about to step into Kunning, a conversation in the room attracted Zhu Jian's attention.

Faintly, Zhu Jian heard it.

"Wo'er, I was wrong before, but it was not easy for your father to raise you, and now your father is in trouble, who will help you as a daughter!"

.......

For such a loud sound, Zhu Jian didn't feel a little hesitant, and sighed unconsciously in his heart.

"Kui Dang is really this week!"

It turned out that Zhou Xin's matter, although Zhu Jian didn't make it clear, he thought that Zhou Kui would divorce this little wife, but he thought that this would not work at all to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and he was actually sent here here!

Thinking of this, Zhu Jian summoned the palace guards, for Zhu Jian, there are some vicious women, he doesn't even want to look at it!

"Throw it out!"
