According to Ed Staffft's explanation, this 'Jumbo' class battleship is a first-class battleship of the British Royal Navy.

Its length will be about fifty-five meters, it will be equipped with a three-tier gun deck, more than a hundred of twenty-four-pounder main guns, a crew of between 850 and 900 people, and a displacement of 2500 to 3500 tons.

However, due to its extremely high cost, reaching a terrifying amount of more than 100,000 pounds, this first-class battleship, which had not yet begun to be built and equipped with the Royal Navy, was only a product of intent.

However, its arguments have been going on for more than a decade, and in theory, they are almost unassailable.

In order to get more attention from Li Yuanqing, Ed Stafft took out all his housekeeping skills.

Li Yuanqing is also very excited about this.

To some extent, big ~, in fact, does not necessarily mean good.

But in this era, the structure of the main fleets of the world's countries is still wooden, such a super-large battleship wrapped in a tight iron sheet, Jumbo-class, once it comes out, even if her artillery is still a solid bullet, but this deterrent, this impact, can simply be expressed in words!

At this time, although there was no careful conversion of the exchange rate between the pound and silver, according to Ed's explanation and materials, Li Yuanqing estimated that the price of a first-class battleship would be at least 300,000 to 500,000 taels of silver, or even exceed.

However, for Li Yuanqing, who was wealthy at this time, this was not a problem at all.

Not to mention, as long as you return to Liaodi, in terms of manpower, it is almost negligible.

But Li Yuanqing also understands one of the very key core points.

Even if the shipbuilding scale on Ed Staffft's side is quite smooth, ~~, the artillery problem cannot be solved, and this class of battleships is also a tiger without claws and fangs.

On this trip, back to Changsheng Island, the improvement of steel smelting technology, including the casting process, will be the top priority in all military affairs!

Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted to test the model of this battleship and feel the deterrent effect, but for the sake of secrecy and limited space, Li Yuanqing had to give up for the time being!

Wen Yan had to encourage Ed Stafft to continue to improve the flaws of this battleship, enrich her data and costs, and reward her with a hundred taels of silver.

Ed Staffft was overjoyed, beckoned a few of his own soldiers, carefully carried his precious battleship model, and left happily.

As for the boats of a few other white boatmen, they can only be considered decent.

However, it was two Dutch shipwrights who built a medium-sized Dutch clipper, which made Li Yuanqing quite interested.

At this time, Li Yuanqing's demand for ships, on the one hand, is the main frontal deterrent, which is also the most core point, and on the other hand, he also needs some clippers to reconnoiter intelligence and transmit information.

These two Dutchman's medium-sized Dutch clippers have a very good appetite for Li Yuanqing.

It's just that the two Spanish and one Portuguese Yankees, their warship models are a little solidified and lackluster, basically not much different from the warships in the active Spanish army and the Portuguese army, and there are no constructive improvements.

However, Li Yuanqing still rewarded them with fifty taels of silver each, so that they could make persistent efforts and continue to improve.

When the busy work was over, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and Li Yuanqing just wanted to go to the temporary base to see the shopping situation of his wives and concubines, but suddenly remembered that Zhang Chunxue and Liu Qinghan were still waiting for him to eat.

came to Zhang Chunxue's female escort on the boat, and sure enough, the two little girls were still waiting for him stupidly.

Li Yuanqing was also a little moved in his heart, and immediately ordered the firefighters to fry a few good dishes and have a good dinner with them.

…………

In a flash, the time has come to September 25, and all the affairs on Brunei's side have basically been dealt with, and the return trip is also ready to fly.

After all, Nanyang can only be regarded as branches and leaves, Changsheng Island, Liaodi, and Daming are the roots of his Li Yuanqing.

Early in the morning, thousands of Chinese businessmen represented by Chen Yougen and Meng Tang had already rushed to the wharf to see Li Yuanqing off.

Looking at the unfamiliar but familiar faces in front of him, Li Yuanqing's heart was also full of emotion!

He stood on the high place of the dock and waved vigorously to everyone: "Everyone, today's separation is for a better reunion tomorrow!" This time, when Yuanqing returns to Liaodi and exterminates the Tartars, it won't be long before Yuanqing will come back again! ”

"Li Shuai is mighty!"

"Li Shuai, have a good trip!"

"Li Shuai ......"

Looking at the cheering crowd, Li Yuanqing's eyes were also a little blurred, and for a moment, he couldn't bear to look at this scene, strode down the high platform, and went straight to his boat.

The shouts behind him still did not stop, and the shouts of "Li Shuai Li Shuai" were almost piercing the sky.

Li Yuanqing suddenly rubbed his eyes vigorously and felt a lot of 'water stains', but he didn't look back, quickly got on the boat and entered the cabin!

Two hours later, at ten o'clock in the morning, the fleet was out to sea.

Only then did Li Yuanqing come back to his senses and listen to Niu Gensheng's report.

"General, the Pan Pacific Trading Company has taken care of everything! On this trip, in addition to Guan Canghai, Yang Xiaochuan, and Zhang Yang, there were also 800 soldiers of the 2nd Thousand Corps and ...... of the 3,000th Corps."

Listening to Niu Gensheng's report, Li Yuanqing lit a cigar and took a deep breath.

In order to help Guan Canghai stabilize the situation in Brunei and Nanyang, Li Yuanqing also took great pains, not only leaving him 3,500 elite soldiers, a large number of ordnance materials, but also 1 million taels of silver and silver, half of the official cabin goods that had not been dumped before, and Yang Xiaochuan and Li Yuanqing's personal soldiers.

Although Zhang Yang has always been Li Yuanqing's personal soldier work, this guy has a specialty, he is especially good at fighting assault battles, especially small-scale assault battles.

Li Yuanqing left Zhang Yang by Guan Canghai's side, and his intention is self-evident!

Who the fuck dares not to open his eyes, play sideways, play slippery, then ~~, don't blame God for his short life!

As for these purchased and plundered Spanish warships, Li Yuanqing basically split the account with Guan Canghai, one and a half.

And Li Yuanqing also gave Guan Canghai greater rights, allowing ~~, he recruited troops and sailors in Nanyang, and in the shortest possible time, integrated the fleet of the Pan Pacific Trading Company, and then filed it with the headquarters of Changsheng Island!

After listening to Niu Gensheng's report, Li Yuanqing came to the deck, lying on the recliner under the tarpaulin, enjoying the sunshine on the sea in early autumn.

The affairs of Nanyang are basically under his control, but Li Yuanqing also knows that if he wants to really take root in Nanyang, he needs to do much, much more!

But with the feedback of these Chinese businessmen in Nanyang, at least, within three or five years, Li Yuanqing will no longer have to worry about silver, and it will also enable him to concentrate more energy on the frontal battlefield, the court, and the research and development of weapons and ships!

At this time, a gust of fragrant wind floated in front of Li Yuanqing, and said with a smile: "Are you so interested?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, grabbed the woman's little hand casually, and wanted to pull her closer to his arms, but he didn't expect it, the woman actually struggled desperately, and shouted in a low voice: "Li Shuai, please respect yourself!" ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned, sat up suddenly, and opened his eyes.

But in a moment, his jaw was about to drop to the ground, "You, you, you, how did you get to my ship?" ”

Meng Qingzhu Shi Ran smiled: "I am now Sister Baozhu's personal doctor!" ”

"What?"

Li Yuanqing's pupils couldn't help but dilate suddenly, staring straight at Meng Qingzhu's eyes.

Meng Qingzhu was not afraid at all, and his eyes floated lightly, and there was some provocation.

At this time, Zhang Baozhu walked out with a smile, "Yuanqing, Qingzhu, what are you doing?" ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Baozhu, this, what's going on?" ”

Meng Qingzhuqiao's face faced with Li Yuanqing's cold ice seemed to melt instantly, as if she was a well-behaved girl next door, she hurriedly grabbed Zhang Baozhu's arm affectionately, and said sweetly: "Sister Baozhu." ”

Zhang Baozhu looked at Li Yuanqing's appearance, and understood Li Yuanqing's thoughts, so he came to Li Yuanqing's side with a smile, "Yuanqing, that's the case." Miss Qingzhu has been studying medicine in the church in Jakarta since she was a child, and she has been admiring our Ming Chinese medicine for a long time. On that day, Meng Tang and Meng Ye personally found me, hoping that Qingzhu could follow our fleet north and travel to Daming. ”

Li Yuanqing's teeth were itching, but Zhang Baozhu spoke, he really didn't have a good seizure, and said busily: "Baozhu, you~~, do you know that she, she and the son of the Chen family are going to get married at the end of the year?" ”

Although Chen Zihua is a straw bag, but Lao Chen and Chen Yougen are people who understand, and this trip to Brunei, including the establishment of the Pan Pacific Trading Company, Chen Yougen has made a lot of efforts, and the gift money of the Pan Pacific Trading Company alone has 1.5 million taels of silver.

Although Meng Qingzhu's little beauty is good, ~~, he Li Yuanqing is not short of women, compared with the general trend, just a woman, even if it is a fairy, she should know how to choose if she thinks about it with her ass.

Zhang Baozhu hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, I wanted to tell you about this matter a few days ago." But you've been so busy these days, and I'm ...... too."

Looking at Zhang Baozhu's aggrieved appearance, Li Yuanqing's heart also softened, his anger had dissipated a lot, and he hurriedly said: "Baozhu, it's okay." I know, I don't blame you for this. ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing looked at Meng Qingzhu.

Meng Qingzhu was not as proud as he was when he faced Li Yuanqing just now, and he was aggrieved like a little beast, "Li Shuai, the little woman just admires the Ming culture and is dedicated to studying, if Li Shuai hates the little girl, the little girl will leave!" ”

As she spoke, her tears of grievance had already welled up, and she was about to run behind her.

But this side was exactly the direction of Zhang Baozhu, and Zhang Baozhu hurriedly grabbed her, "Qingzhu, don't be angry." Yuan Qing didn't know about it. You go back and rest first, and I'll explain to him. ”

"Sister Orb......"

Meng Qingzhu glanced at Zhang Baozhu aggrievedly, couldn't help but threw herself into Zhang Baozhu's arms, and sobbed in a low voice.

Zhang Baozhu glared at Li Yuanqing viciously, and hurriedly comforted Meng Qingzhu.

"I ......"

Li Yuanqing was a little confused!

What the hell is this?

Finally, Zhang Baozhu coaxed Meng Qingzhu and sent her back to the room, and then Shi Shiran came to Li Yuanqing's side, obviously displeased: "Yuanqing, what's wrong with you today?" How big of a deal is that? You're going to lose your temper so much? ”

Where did Li Yuanqing dare to lie on the recliner?

Hurriedly helped Zhang Baozhu to sit down, "No, Baozhu, this, such a big thing, you, why didn't you tell me in advance?" I'm so prepared! This matter, if, if the Chen family knows about it......"

Zhang Baozhu smiled and said, "Yuanqing, don't worry." That Chen Zihua also followed! He also wants to come to Daming to study. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be speechless, his eyes narrowed slightly, this is fucking, it's all a routine!

"Orb, what's going on?"

Zhang Baozhu smiled and said busily: "When I was shopping that day, it was Meng Tang and Meng Ye who found me, and he acquired a church hospital in Jakarta more than 20 years ago, which trained hundreds of nuns and doctors, all of whom were Chinese. He is very interested in the female guard system of our immortal camp......"
