The precepts of Fujian. The poisoning work has been done quite well, and the entire Fujian Province has basically been detoxified. The root of the product, as long as it is strictly controlled in the future and publicity is increased, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see this harmful thing here. At the very least, no one in Fujian will take the initiative to plant zuò crows. Slice it.

However, Geng Jingzhong has already decided to develop this trade, use it to make money and achieve his own strategic goals, and it will definitely not work without a source of goods. Planting in Fujian Province is definitely not good, if you do this, it will be a slap in the face, a slap in the face. In fact, Geng Jingzhong was not prepared to grow this thing anywhere on the mainland. However, there are many islands overseas that can be used for farming.

Overseas islands have always been regarded by the imperial court as foreign lands and are not included in the scope of Chinese territory. Geng Jingzhong doesn't think so at all, he doesn't agree with it now, and in the future, he will definitely include all these islands in the territory, and even the sea is part of China's territory, and he must not give it up.

Just when Geng Jingzhong was actively planning to plant poppies on many overseas islands. At that time, Li Guangdi sent someone to report that the twenty warships of the Mawei Shipyard were ready to be launched, and now they were waiting for him to preside over the launching ceremony!

Geng Jingzhong, who was busy and dizzy, patted his head, how could he forget such an important thing! Two days ago, I had already received a report from Lee Guangdi that the battleship was ready to be launched, and the exact time was this afternoon! Geng Jingzhong hurriedly mounted his horse and quickly rushed to the shipyard, he wanted to see the launch of the first batch of warships with his own eyes, he had been looking forward to it for a long time. The launch of this first batch of warships means that they can be officially put into service, and the Mawei Navy finally has its own first batch of professional ocean-going combat vessels. The partial fleet of the Zheng family captured earlier is still weaker, and it is okay to deal with pirates, but it is still not possible to fight in the real ocean!

This batch of third-class warships started construction at the end of September last year. At that time, according to the estimate of Jason, the director of the Mawei Shipyard, it would take more than six months to complete. Later, Jason made some improvements to the battleship on the basis of the same main body, which delayed the process a lot. If Geng Jingzhong hadn't ordered all the workshops and shipyards under his command to use assembly line operations, and specially designed pulley sets and gantries for the shipyard, which greatly improved the work efficiency, it is estimated that the delay time would be longer. In this way, under the hard work of the workers day and night, it took nearly three more months, that is, nine months, to finally complete the construction and be ready to go into the water.

With the experience of building this batch of warships, the construction of the next batch can be greatly accelerated. According to the current level, it is estimated that the construction of a third-class warship can be completed every five months or so in the future. With a large number of skilled shipbuilders, the speed of construction can be a little faster. Now the Netherlands, a small country with a big fart can be called a "sea coachman", and the dignified China is a country, and it must not be left behind.

If it was in the Ming Dynasty, as long as there were drawings, any shipyard of the scale would be able to make a ship like the No. 2 Fu Ship. No matter how large the shipyard is, it is not a problem to build treasure ships, the key is that the imperial court does not pay attention to the sea, and the guide has lost the opportunity in vain, and at the same time has lost the precious treasure ship drawings. Think of the treasure ship, according to the "History of Chinese Ships", the displacement reached nearly 10,000 tons! This is not an exaggeration, but it really has this strength.

Even in the Southern Song Dynasty, large ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons have appeared. The Southern Song Dynasty was the richest time in China, and the speed of shipbuilding during that period was also quite fast. A thousand-ton sea ship is completed in about half a year, and it is not a problem at all. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, in the life-and-death decisive battle between Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang, more than 800,000 people from both sides participated in the battle at Poyang Lake with more than 5,000 large and small warships, of which Chen Youliang's giant ships were as many as 1,000, what a scale.

In addition, the famous Nanjing Longjiang Shipyard has an amazing shipbuilding speed. If there were enough money and materials to allow the workers to produce at full capacity, at least 100 large ships could be built a year, with a displacement of at least 1,000 tons. At that time, the fleet of the Three Treasure Eunuchs in the Western Ocean had hundreds of large ships, and the largest was a treasure ship of nearly 10,000 tons! If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's implementation of the maritime ban policy, even if the end of the Ming Dynasty experienced decades of war, there must have been big ships all over the world, where did the name of "sea coachman" get the Netherlands!

Although now there are close to 100 warships in the Mawei Navy, none of them are produced by themselves. The number of large ships among them is too small, and the others are some small tonnage warships. It is not so much a warship as an armed merchant ship, the number of artillery is really small, and the performance of these small-tonnage warships is not good. Now, the twenty third-class warships that had been built at a cost of four million taels of silver could finally be launched, how could he not be excited! These third-class battleships are not someone else's, but he produced them himself. Four million taels of silver is 250,000 catties, that is, 125 tons, which is enough to directly fill nearly 200 carriages!

According to the design standards, these 20 third-class battleships had a displacement of 1,700 tons, a two-story gun deck, 70 guns, and a crew of 600 people. These twenty third-class battleships, as the main force, can shoot 700 shells in a single salvo, how terrifying is that! Britain's strongest Munch fleet was now mainly composed of third-class warships, and the total number of warships with more than sixty guns was only forty, and the total number of guns exceeded four thousand two hundred. Now that Geng Jingzhong has almost half of the combat power of the Munch fleet at once, how can he not be happy!

Moreover, the third-class battleships built by the Mawei Shipyard now combine the advantages of Eastern and Western warships, and their performance has been greatly improved in all aspects, compared with the large battleships of the Western powers, they are all better. Now that these 20 third-class warships have been officially launched, the naval soldiers on board are eager to familiarize themselves with the operation of these warships, test their performance, and test various limit numbers, so as to discover and find out the deficiencies in them, so that they can be actively corrected.

The Marine Army, that is, the former Tiger Army, has proved their courage in several battles, and the best proof is that all the bandits and bandits in Fujian have been exterminated, and the outlaws no longer dare to occupy the mountains in Fujian as kings. In comparison, the Mawei Navy has not yet established their prestige, and now, these third-class warships are their sharp swords that rush to the ocean, and they want to use this sword to kill the hegemony of the Mawei Navy. With these 20 third-class warships in service, the Mawei Navy will no longer have to keep shrinking into the Mawei Military Port, they will be able to sail the sea, and it will not be a problem to dominate China's waters! In the future, North Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and the South China Sea region will be accessible to the Mawei Navy.

Geng Jingzhong quickly arrived at the shipyard, and the twenty third-class warships that were ready to be launched all stayed in the dock honestly. However, under each battleship, a slipway has been paved to lead directly to the river, and it is waiting for Geng Jingzhong's order to launch immediately! The high mast of each warship was hung with a tiger flag on a blue background, and the entire ship, on the ropes of the sails, was hung with all kinds of colorful silks, full of festivities. These 20 third-class warships are all Chinese red, and there are a lot of auspicious cloud patterns on the hull, full of strong Chinese colors!

Originally, Director Jason wanted to paint the battleship gray and white, or blue, saying that this was the color that a sea ship should have, but Geng Jingzhong vetoed it. In the future, these warships will fight in all directions, and they must show Chinese characteristics, so all the battleships will be changed to Chinese red. When he thought of Chinese red, it was because he remembered the pattern and color of the Olympic Games that year, and felt that it was the best, so no matter what others said, he decided to adopt this pattern and color! At this moment, the twenty third-class warships have already been painted, and from a distance, they are really full of characteristics, and if they sail together on the sea, they are absolutely very powerful, and this is the image that the dignified Heavenly Empire should have.

Geng Jingzhong jumped off his horse and handed the reins to the soldiers who answered him, and then looked at the battleships without blinking.

"Shizi!"

"Shizi!"

"Shizi! You're finally here, but it's just time for you to give orders! Hurry up, I can't wait! Seeing Geng Jingzhong's arrival, the generals of the Mawei Navy and the Marine Army came up to salute one after another. The big housekeeper Li Guangdi went up directly and grabbed Geng Jingzhong's sleeve!

For Geng Jiajun, whether it is the Navy or the Marine Army, today is a heavy festival, except for the old prince Geng Jimao, who was lying on the bed in poor health, all the other generals and generals came. No one outside the military was invited to participate in today's battleship launching ceremony, and all the inside and outside the shipyard were under martial law, except for the shipyard workers, who were Geng family soldiers. When these warships are in service, they can give all the enemies a huge surprise when they sail overseas, which is the main purpose of Geng Jingzhong's martial law!

It is now the end of June, and after the launch of this first batch of third-class warships, there will be another twenty third-class battleships launched before the end of the year! With abundant financial support, Geng Jingzhong is expected to attack the Wa Kingdom when he reaches forty ships to avenge the great revenge some time ago! In other words, as long as it lasts until after next year's New Year, the main force of the Mawei Navy will have at least forty third-class warships, plus the second- and third-class warships that can be used for several years and many small warships, which is enough to destroy the fleet of the Shimazu family's sailors!
