(Thank you for the monthly pass and reward of the regional overlord, thank you for the reward of the trolls, I am very grateful!) Thank you for signing in and for always recommending you, thank you, you have worked hard, Momoda! )――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Zheng He stood on the cliff, with the choppy waves below, Shao Feng looked into the distance and said hesitantly: "Lord Zheng, now everything is ready, just wait for the east wind!" ”
Zheng He said with a solemn face: "This voyage is of great significance, the order given by Lord Wu is to develop colonization and collect gold, and it is too difficult to rely on us people for colonization!" ”
Shao Feng said with a smile: "Lord Wu didn't say that it will be done this time, in the future, we still have a long time to implement and improve!" Besides, in the modern era of that time and space, colonization is really simple, as long as they are scared and control the royal family, the whole country will be resigned! ”
Zheng He thought about it and nodded deeply, looked directly at Shao Feng and said, "Listen to your words, you want to make him compromise by force?" ”
Shao Feng scratched his head suspiciously: "Isn't this faster?" ”
Zheng He said meaningfully: "Do you know why Lord Wu asked Tang Zhen to come over? ”
"The boy? Didn't he let him use the steam engine to work better with the steamer? Shao Feng was puzzled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zheng He shook his head, "Lord Wu has always relied on commerce, and the most important thing in commerce is transportation, now there is no war in the empire, and the economic development is good, although His Majesty did not let Lord Wu continue to engage in the matter of businessmen building schools, but now it is still Lord Wu's old acquaintances who are in charge, isn't it simple to give some advice?" But Lord Wu didn't do this, but handed over to me Tang Zhen, who could change this era the most..."
Shao Feng was shocked and said, "Are you saying that Lord Wu wants to develop ocean trade and quickly accumulate original capital?" ”
"Yes, Lord Wu's focus is on the ocean, you and I both know that eggs are food when they are opened from the outside, and life when they are opened from the inside, Lord Wu is going to use external forces to awaken new life!" Zheng He said with emotion.
Shao Feng only felt his blood boiling for a while, thinking of the history of the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't help but nod and said: "Now the empire does not attach importance to maritime trade, and it is indeed feasible for Lord Wu to take the lead, not to mention that we now have artillery, steam engines, and steam engines and ships in the future, where can this ocean go, and the speed of capital plundering will be accelerated!" ”
Zheng He laughed, and said thoughtfully: "Now, what is needed is to lay a foundation for colonization, you and I know the perversion of the system, as long as we can bring back enough gold, silver and jewelry, Lord Wu will not be able to do anything!" ”
Shao Feng said worriedly: "This time, it can be said that it is a heavy treasure, selling porcelain, tea, calligraphy and paintings, etc., costing a huge amount of money, I just hope that this voyage can go well!" ”
Zheng He laughed and said: "Don't worry, this ship is extremely strong, but it is not afraid of wind and waves, this time, it will definitely make a lot of money, have you forgotten the order given by Your Majesty before?" Let those monks and the like preach, and let some people spread extravagance, I am afraid that it has become the climate now, and we must have risen according to the trend in the past! ”
Shao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a burst of cheers in his ears, this was the sound of exercise, Shao Feng said: "Originally, Lord Wu asked Chen Fatzi to pay attention to some orphans, and I didn't care about bringing some orphans over, but at this time, I realized that it was of great significance!" ”
Zheng He nodded and said: "They are all the most loyal to our Wu family army, we must not be disadvantaged, after coming back smoothly this time, I will definitely ask for credit for them!" ”
Shao Feng said: "It's a pity that now the financial resources can only build a huge ship, and some light boats, if there are a few more..."
Zheng He also sighed and said, "Let's develop slowly!" ”
Shao Feng nodded, and went down the mountain to continue training these troops with a faint modern military atmosphere, and after a closer look, they were big and small, but they all had grim faces and were training seriously with strained faces.
Fat Chen ran to Zheng He with sweat on his head, the island was still hot, but it made Fat Chen lose a lot of weight recently, and he was a little stronger, but his skin was dark, not as white as before.
"Captain Zheng, what can I do, a ship is coming!" Fat Chen said in a panic.
Zheng He frowned and said, "Can you see that it's the ship of that country!" ”
Fat Chen thought for a while and said, "It seems to be a pirate!" ”
Zheng He was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Call people, face the battle!" ”
In fact, no matter where the ships are, as long as they find this island, they will be sunk, as for why they are happy, mainly because the pirates have enough combat experience, and they can learn a lot from fighting against them, which can make the soldiers grow rapidly, and if they meet rich pirates, it will be even more happy.
Veterans who have already had combat experience boarded the ship in an orderly manner, the shape of the ship is a small square head, wide and flat stern, the architectural form belongs to the building ship, there is a deckhouse in the middle of the main deck to form a bulwark with a bulwark, and the stern has a two-story permeable bow tower. From the bilge to the deck, it is divided into five layers, there is a solemn dragon relief in the front of the side side, there are more basalt patterns on the deck, the whole ship is 34 zhang long and 13 zhang wide, the shipbuilding craftsmen feel incredible, the original shipbuilding time needs to be longer, but unfortunately Zheng He directly ordered to abandon all the useless things, except for the keel and the waterproof layer and the paddle room, all are empty, ready to pile up the goods, and then the top point is the place where the crew rests, and it is also very simple, and there is a freshwater room and the like, so that the capacity of the whole ship is unusually large, However, compared with ocean trade, this capacity can only be regarded as a drizzle, and it cannot attract a little wind and waves.
One of the more critical points of the vacancy is that the artillery has been successful, although there is still a danger of exploding, but it will undoubtedly save a lot of space.
When the veterans got on the boat, Shao Feng brought these baby soldiers up again to observe what the war was like, which was the best textbook.
Zheng He came to the bow of the ship, waved the flag, and after a difficult U-turn, the huge ship raised its sails and rushed out, the veterans were indifferent, the baby soldiers were very excited, and Shao Feng also explained every structure of the ship in a timely manner.
The huge ship quickly attracted the attention of the pirate ships on the sea, and when he looked at those pirate ships again, Ji Zizai almost didn't laugh, just take the hull as a whole disproportionate, just wanted to laugh but saw Zheng He's cold face, and quickly suppressed his smile, he now knows Zheng He's temper, and he has always been reluctant to smile when he encounters serious things.
The pirate ship turned around in a panic, Zheng He waved his hand, the ship accelerated, and the pirate ship instantly hoisted a white flag, Zheng He was dissatisfied: "These people are getting more and more temperless!" ”
Most of the veterans in the back twitched their cheeks, because most of them were pirates who had been beaten and captured, and after training, they had already followed Zheng He with all their hearts.
Approaching the pirate ship, they went to their hometown to carry their things, and then gathered their troops, and the team grew a lot again.
As soon as the flag waved, he returned with the ship, and he would have tried the range of the artillery to familiarize the crew, but now he was too lazy to destroy the ship, after all, it was a ship, and it could also be used as a cargo ship, so there was an additional sailboat about 50 meters long and 15 meters wide in the team.
