"Faith or survival, that's a big question!"

Emperor Yang said with emotion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, this question is not very difficult to answer, because at this time, the people of Gilja City have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and the Ming army's airships have been propagandizing for five days in a row, and then when a small Ming army tentatively launched an attack, the vast majority of the Zhen warriors in Gilja City have given up resistance, and only a few people still insist on fighting for their beliefs, but it is to no avail. Soon the Ming army completely captured the city with less than 50 casualties, and when they burned the temples and scriptures, the Egyptians only watched with grief and indignation, and did not make any overreaction.

"In fact, many Egyptians have begun to take the initiative to cooperate with our army."

Feng Zhen said with a smile.

"Oh, so fast?"

Yang Feng said with some surprise.

"The main thing is that our soldiers don't rob them of things, these Arabs have the habit of looting the occupied areas of war, whether it is food, property or even beautiful women, but our soldiers don't rob anything at all, that is, occasionally there is a woman who can't hold back and rape women, but they also throw down the reward afterwards, which can be said to be a surprise in the eyes of those Egyptians."

Feng Zhen said.

Yang Feng was speechless for a moment.

Of course, he knew why the soldiers of the Ming army didn't grab things, even the most ordinary soldiers of the Seventh Army had divided a thousand dragon dollars, and the employees of the major banks in the country were rushing to Egypt to compete for customers at this time, and they all came with boxes of dragon dollar bills. It is impossible for those soldiers to fight alone with a huge sum of money that can buy a villa, and it is best to deposit it in a bank, but the major banks of the Ming Dynasty have no branches in Egypt, and this time for the huge amount of more than 100 million dragon dollars in their hands, all the bank outlets in the occupied areas will soon be quickly established.

In other words, how can they still look down on those Egyptian peasants' two jujubes, as for the gang rape of women, this is inevitable, and it is already very civilized if they do not exercise the right to the night there.

Well, in fact, in ancient times they were for cattle.

"Tell Fan Hong, just do it, don't be too impatient, take your time, conquer city by city, attack the heart, you can show your magnanimity appropriately, in addition, their agricultural system is indeed too backward, anyway, now the Mamluk class basically does not exist, you can discuss with Murad to change the system, as for how to change, you can invite the leaders of the cities to discuss together, but those elders are plotting rebellion, this is absolutely unforgivable, that is to say, if the cities want to talk, they must first kill those elders."

Yang Feng continued.

Well, that's an absolute poison ploy.

Egypt's agricultural system is indeed too backward, and if it continues, it will definitely affect future cotton production, so it must be changed, and the previous Egyptian uprising killed the Mamlukbeys There are few left, and there are still those who fought on the front line with Murad, so the basis of this system does not exist. And the most unbearable thing for the Egyptians, or the main motivation for them to stand under the banner of the Zhen Lord, is to get rid of this peasant system that has lasted for hundreds of years, to threaten them with a great flood, to lure them with a good life in the future, to dismantle the peasant nu system, and to force the original Zhen Lord warriors across Egypt to turn against each other and kill the elders of those temples to surrender.

In this way, the foundation of their faith will be completely destroyed.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Feng Zhen hurriedly said.

Obviously, Chief of General Staff Feng also understood what this was for.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, a series of bows sounded in front of them.

"Get up, you've worked hard!"

Yang Feng said.

"The ministers are willing to do their best for Your Majesty!"

A middle-aged man in front of him said excitedly.

Behind the middle-aged man, kneeling was a large group of workers in blue overalls, in fact, canvas jackets and trousers, the overalls made by Emperor Yang were becoming common for the work of the Ming workers, and they all used another invention of His Majesty the Emperor, that is, copper zippers, and in the dock behind these workers, there was a huge ship that had just been completed......

A real giant ship.

The Navy's Dingyuan-class ironclad ship has also become a small toy compared with it, because the length of the Dingyuan-class ironclad ship is only thirty zhang, and the length of this giant ship is close to fifty zhang, the Dingyuan-class ironclad ship has only two chimneys, and this giant ship has four, the Dingyuan-class ironclad ship only has two masts before and after, and this giant ship has a full six masts, and on both sides of this giant ship, there are also strange paddle wheels that have been eliminated in Daming, but not only paddle wheels, because it has two huge brass propellers in the stern, which is a giant ship with three sets of power sails, paddlewheels and propellers.

"This is my Vostok?"

Emperor Yang stood on the edge of the dock and said affectionately.

"Your Majesty, this is your Vostok."

The middle-aged man just now said.

"It has a full load displacement of 31,000 tons, a standard displacement of 25,000 tons, and has three 5,000-horsepower steam engines, two of which drive a propeller and one that drives an outboard paddlewheel."

He paused a little embarrassedly, in fact, Emperor Yang's brainless decision made all the masters involved in the design at a loss, they really didn't understand why they had to install the paddle wheel, even if they used three propellers, with the technology of the Ming Dynasty, although there would be a certain degree of difficulty in the design, but it was definitely not impossible to achieve, but the installation of the paddle wheel This kind of thing suddenly forced a sharp decline, after all, now in addition to the river boat, but also has to be the river boat that specializes in running the small river ditch, There is no new ship under construction in Daming's shipyard that uses paddle wheels, except for the emperor.

Fortunately, if you don't understand, you don't understand.

Providence is unpredictable!

How can mortals understand what is going on in the mind of His Majesty the God Emperor.

"There are also six schooners, twelve heavy oil boilers, four of which can be fired with kerosene, and if all the sails are raised at full steam engine power, the fastest speed is estimated to be no less than twenty nautical miles downwind. With fuel alone, the cruising range can reach 8,000 nautical miles at a speed of 10 nautical miles, and the maximum cruising range can reach 12,000 nautical miles under normal circumstances, considering that sails and propellers can be used in the right wind direction. If the sail and paddle wheel are combined, the cruising range can even reach 15,000 nautical miles, of course, the speed can only be maintained less than seven nautical miles, and the sail alone can also make this giant ship almost unlimited endurance at the fastest speed of four nautical miles. ”

He continued.

"This is my Great Eastern!"

Emperor Yang said affectionately again.

It is said that he is doing so many things on his mobile palace, in addition to paying tribute to the bleak Great Eastern, it is more important to sail for the voyage, this is not modern at this time, except for Da Ming, he estimates that he will not have any port to replenish fuel, and even coal is not so easy. So this giant ship must be able to be driven by sails, even if it will be slow to use sail drive, but it must also have this ability, it doesn't matter if the speed is slow, as long as it can go, this is the meaning of the existence of four kerosene mixed burning boilers, in fact, it is not just kerosene mixed burning, they can also simply burn coal, there is really no way to fill it with firewood, of course, it needs a lot of firewood.

As for the paddle wheel......

That's also meaningful.

The power system of the propeller is not as reliable as the paddle wheel at present, which is inevitable, after all, this kind of thing has not appeared for a few years, he doesn't want to be halfway to the propeller power system failure can not repair the nest, and the paddle wheel power system almost does not have the problem of reliability, even if it is broken, there is no problem that cannot be repaired, this thing is too simple compared to the propeller's transmission system, a little experience can be repaired, and the spare parts are also extremely simple, and they can process a full set on the ship. In this way, even if the propeller system is lying in the nest, the giant ship can still sail on paddle wheels and sails.

To put it bluntly, everything is to ensure the safety of his voyage.

"Your Majesty, can I go into the water?"

The middle-aged man, who was actually the chief designer of the giant ship, asked cautiously.

"Get into the water!"

Yang Feng said.

"Open the floodgates!"

The middle-aged man immediately said to the assistant beside him.

With a series of orders, the dock's gates opened, and the sea water immediately poured into the dock, instantly submerging the bottom of the first giant ship ever built by man, and then the water quickly approached the lowest waterline.

Looking at the Great Eastern, which is gradually rising under the action of buoyancy, Yang Feng seems to see the scene of himself riding it on the sea and chopping the waves, of course, at this time, the ship is not completely completed, and there is still a lot of interior decoration to be completed. But this work is not in the dock, the largest dock in the Ming Dynasty is about to build a 10,000-ton giant freighter, and the follow-up decoration is not the shipyard workers can do, in Nanjing's special wharf, a large number of skilled craftsmen, with countless expensive materials, waiting to turn this steel giant ship into a moving palace.

A sea palace of His Majesty the Emperor.

In a special vocational school in the palace, nearly a thousand young and beautiful girls are wearing the uniforms of Royal Navy cadets, where they are seriously learning all the techniques related to it, from driving to maintenance to weapon use, preparing to wait for the Great Eastern to complete the renovation and board the ship to serve Emperor Yang, and even their learning content includes everything from catering to making beds and quilts for the emperor, and even warming the bed.

Well, in the future, there will not be any men on the Great Eastern except Emperor Yang, not even eunuchs.

The palace, of course, are all women.

It even included an all-female guard.

What, it's so wild?

Emperor Yang's role model is an emperor with the same surname as him, besides, being able to dedicate himself to His Majesty the God Emperor is what every girl in the Ming Dynasty dreams of at this time. (To be continued.) )
