Chapter 169: The Five's Request (2)
Wang Quan came with Yuan Ping, and came first, so he said first: "That, Zheng He is built, and it will be launched tomorrow, so I will show you all the data and materials, and let you decide whether to let Zheng He go to sea for sea trials tomorrow." ”
The fat man looked through the densely recorded information, and suddenly felt a pain in his brain, which he couldn't understand at all!
He put down the information and said to Wang Quan: "Try whichever day you think is suitable, it's best as soon as possible, after all, the sooner I want to go back to Nanzhan Buzhou to build a country, the better, it's too far away, there is a stable big ship that is more comfortable than sitting on these three-masted ships now, and the most important thing is that it is big enough and scary enough." ”
"But if you're sure this ship can go to sea, don't make it sink on the day of the trial, like the largest wooden galleon in Europe!"
As soon as Wang Quanyi talked about the boat, he almost forgot his original intention of coming here to see the fat man.
"Don't worry! If you want to say fast, maybe the Zheng He is much slower than the tenth-century ships of our original world, but if it is stronger than Wenhe, then our Zheng He is ten times stronger than theirs. ”
"When Zheng He went to the West, because there were too many ships going together, it was very important for a person to command in the middle.
You must know that the sea is not as good as the land, if there is no one in the middle of the command, let alone a fleet like Zheng He, even if there are four or five ships, they will suddenly drift away when they reach the sea, how can they gather together to form a fleet.
Therefore, in ancient times, when there was no telegraph or radio waves, gongs and drums, lights, fire, smoke, flags, and communication cables between the two ships were all means by which the flagship commanded the rest of the ships.
And Zheng He's fleet is even more so, his ship is the largest, so it is very stable, stability is the most important thing, and only when it is stable can the route be correct and upright.
And all the ships are divided into several parts, with dozens of treasure ships as points, and a number of lucky ships are gathered around them.
The orders in Zheng He's ship were transmitted point after point like an ancient beacon tower.
This is different from the Westerners, who can maintain a fleet of more than five ships without radio waves, and the commander is already a genius.
Westerners can't compare to us Orientals in following orders, because in Zheng He's fleet, the end result of disobeying orders is to be beheaded.
And such a huge fleet did not drift away because of strong orders, so that it could remain intact to the greatest extent.
Therefore, the ships of the East generally do not pursue speed, but they are stable, but they are better than the Western ships, especially the ships of the early Ming Dynasty, which are superior to the West in all aspects.
And the ship that was almost built exactly according to the original drawings, do you think it will work? ”
Wang Quan said a lot of crackling, speaking of this Zheng He, it was an itch for him, so as soon as he said it, he couldn't stop it without finishing it.
Looking at Wang Quan, who was talking like a machine gun, the fat man had to interrupt him: "Almost? How much worse is that? ”
Wang Quan was very dissatisfied with him interrupting his tirade, but when asked, he still replied: "The original Zheng He did not have a cannon door, and they used that kind of siege crossbow in that era, but now that kind of crossbow is outdated.
So I changed the ship's armament part, and changed the upper three decks of the ship out of the gun doors, anyway, the speed of the ship is not fast, so I am not afraid of the weight of the guns to reduce the speed of the ship, and directly change the Zheng He into a battleship with powerful firepower. ”
"Now there are a total of one hundred and eight cannons on board, if the Ming Dynasty is really as recorded in history, because Zheng He went to the West to open a trade route and hindered the ministers' private maritime business, then it should be banned from the sea, and those large ship drawings will be burned by the ministers; In this way, the largest ship in the world is our Zheng He. ”
After listening to Wang Quan's impassioned introduction, the fat man was also happy, and he could finally take the first step to upgrade his authority, which was to go to Nanzhan Buzhou and build a country.
Seeing that Wang Quan had finished introducing the situation of the ship, none of the people in front of him were rejoicing with him, and the fat man suddenly felt bored, and he also knew that these people in front of him did not come to him specifically to tell him what he was talking about.
Glancing at the report handed over by Lao Gao, the fat man said angrily: "Like these censuses, you can also show me the matter of applying for ID cards, if this is the case, what do you want to do as this official?" ”
"That's it! If there is anything, just say it, guards, go and call in Li Dalun, the secretary of the military department, who has been wandering at the door for a long time, who has been at the door for more than ten minutes in the morning, who can not see it? ”
The fat man's words frightened people a lot, the gate was far away from here, and he turned a few corners, and he didn't see anyone coming here to report, how did he know that Li Dalun was waiting at the door?
Li Dalun hurriedly walked in and saluted the fat man, and the fat man said angrily: "Okay, there are a lot of false courtesies, the five of you have discussed it today!" Let's come together, then, since there is something, let's make it clear! What's the matter? ”
Yuan Ping and the others were silent, in fact, to be honest, they came today, and they were not sure in their hearts, but if they didn't come, they were uneasy, because they were all cultivated by the state.
Now there is a big opportunity in front of them, if it is their own opportunity, it is just that, but it is an opportunity that can make the country take off, so what to say, try to see if you can benefit from Chen Xiaoleng in front of you.
"Ahem!" When I was happy to speak, I found that my throat was so dry and uncomfortable that I had to clear my voice before speaking.
The fat man amusedly asked the guards to pour them all a glass of water, and said, "Okay, let's talk about drinking saliva beforehand, seeing that you are so all here, and even the most slippery old Gao finds it difficult to speak, you can see that this thing is not very easy to do!" I'll start with that! If what you say is beyond my means, I won't agree! ”
Seeing that the fat man wanted to block the road in front of them in advance, Wang Quan, a somewhat shy person, began to become depressed, and he was already guessing how this Chen Xiaoleng in front of him could think of words to reject them.
But after all, Lao Gao has been in the officialdom for so long, and his cheeks have been cultivated to the point where he can't even shoot bullets, so he can't hear the hints of the fat man.
"We are here today to ask His Majesty the Emperor to open up the space-time wormhole that has reached this world from modern times to Huaxia, so that Huaxia can also benefit here, and this is the purpose of our visit today."
After Lao Gaoyi gritted his teeth and said their request, five pairs of burning eyes looked at the fat man's face in unison, looking into his eyes, wanting to get his thoughts for the first time.
"Open space-time wormholes? Let Huaxia also participate? The fat man's sharp eyes swept them and sneered: "Do you think I'm very talkative, and I have never refused your request, so I have the courage to make this request to me today?" How dare you think about it! (To be continued.) )
