Chapter 418: Invincible Water Master
On the first day of September in the fourth year of Jiajing, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to travel!
The Tianjin Wei Shipyard, which has already been built and officially put into use to build warships, is already like a tide of soldiers and officials.
Zhu Houwei, who was dressed in a full costume, looked at Zhu Houzhao, whose armor looked more solemn, and he was quite speechless in his heart.
The military model of the Ming Dynasty is transitioning from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons, but in other countries it is naturally a pure era of cold weapons, and the armor is not useless, but it is necessary for you to put on such a look now, tired and tired.
The 130,000 Tiance Army, in the end, left 20,000 pure recruits and 10,000 absolute veterans as training seeds, and the 100,000 soldiers who were allocated were wearing standard military uniforms, looking extremely neat and tidy.
In the dock, hundreds of large wooden troop carriers and three shining steel giants were quietly parked there, like hideous beasts.
The ministers were completely shocked, those wooden ships needless to say, in the eyes of the ministers, they are nothing more than bigger, but those three steel giant ships!
Every steel giant ship is really made of pure steel, not the kind of wooden warship that becomes the so-called ironclad warship with a layer of iron armor on the outside, but a real all-steel!
The most impressive thing about the three steel giants is the artillery!
On the side of the ship were two rows of muzzles, each row of twenty guns, a total of eighty, a huge cannon in the bow and a stern gun!
What is the concept of eighty-two guns on a battleship, a salvo, any enemy at sea will be powdered in an instant!
When Zhu Houzhao saw these giant ships for the first time, he almost didn't leave his saliva back, as a tsundere cargo, he actually asked his younger brother for this sailor with a straight face, of course, the ultimate purpose of this cargo is these three steel giant ships, as for the rest, it is just dispensable by the way.
However, Zhu Houwei refused, not because he was reluctant, but because he was still useful for this fleet!
The existence of steel battleships is to destroy the enemy and deter, and the wooden ships that are still being built are for transporting and transporting huge immigrants!
Transporting tens of millions of people from the Ming Dynasty to the UK is definitely a difficult and perverted task, with a wooden boat sailing speed of less than 10 knots, transporting a group of immigrants to the UK, and the fastest speed back and forth will take more than half a year!
A hundred wooden ships can carry up to two or three thousand people, and according to the calculation of three thousand people, one hundred ships is three hundred thousand, which requires thirty or forty round-trips, and it takes more than fifteen years!
Of course, tens of thousands of shipyard craftsmen and laborers have been building wooden ships day and night, building 50 ships a year without pressure, and the more and more transport ships, the stronger the ability to transport immigrants, according to Zhu Houwei's estimates, tens of millions of immigrants overseas, almost six or seven years are enough.
"Take care, brother." Zhu Houwei sincerely clenched Zhu Houzhao's hands and said.
"My brother is my mother-in-law, like a girl, my brother and I are proud of the country overseas, proclaiming the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, so that the small states in the world know the strength of our Ming Dynasty, and when it is successful, I will come back.
"Okay......" Zhu Houwei said helplessly: "Ten thousand miles of journey, Houwei won't say anything else, I wish my brother a smooth journey and be invincible!"
"Great!"
Zhu Houwei looked at the two uncles who were slightly impatient and said: "The two uncles are here to make a fortune, other than that, there is nothing else, I don't want to say anything, just send a word to the two of you, don't do anything hurtful to the heavens and reason, people are watching the sky, it's not that they don't report it, it's just that the time has not come, and if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself!"
"Yes...... Be. The Zhang brothers nodded again and again, they knew that their little nephew didn't want to see them, and they also knew that Zhu Houwei wanted to kick them out of Daming when they went overseas this time, but they didn't want to go out, compared to staying under Zhu Houwei's nose and being watched every move, they would rather travel across the ocean and mix with Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houwei is too lazy to take care of the two brothers of the Zhang family, since they hate each other, it is best to never see each other again in this life.
In addition to the 100,000 soldiers, there were more than 2,000 scholars, and more than half of the prisoners of the Chinese sub-prison were on the pier.
Zhang Xuan told him that the number of prisoners in the country who wanted to go overseas exceeded 2,000, and there were many excited prisoners who were hesitating and wandering, if even the prisoners in the southern country were counted, then the southern and southern prisons alone would be enough to send more than 5,000 scholars out!
Such a huge number really made Zhu Houwei a little unexpected.
The other is immigration, the most important thing for the feudal dynasty is the people who have lost their land, although it is difficult to leave the homeland, but compared to living, leaving the homeland is actually far from being as difficult to accept as imagined.
And the conditions offered by the royal family are too rich, it is hundreds of acres of fertile land, the land complex of the Chinese people is far from being comparable to any nation in this world, and a large amount of land is the biggest temptation for the people!
There is no need to mobilize at all, and an edict has made countless poor people rush to Tianjin Wei with their families in tow!
According to incomplete statistics, the actual number of people gathered in Tianjin at this moment has exceeded 500,000! And counting!
Originally, Zhu Houwei felt that he was completing the changes to the Ming Dynasty, so that more and more people could complete the people's dependence on the land through work.
However, now Zhu Houwei knows that his idea is too good, and now the industry of the Ming Dynasty can only be regarded as a budding state at best, and those people who enter the factory to work are just a drop in the ocean.
Think about it, China's comprehensive poverty alleviation was not really realized until the twenties of the 21st century, and it was a great cause that was completed after 60 or 70 years of hard work in New China!
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, did you want to get rid of poverty in an all-round way? That's almost a dream.
The destitute people sold themselves into slavery and became hidden households, which was already one of the most common phenomena in the Ming Dynasty.
However, the notice to the world, the emperor let the whole world know his determination, those gentry and wealthy families did not dare to forcibly detain the hermits who were attached to their own families or directly slaves, because there is no doubt that they dared to forcibly block it, as long as it was discovered, let the emperor have the evidence of the real hammer, then the family was destroyed in an instant!
Who the hell wants to offend the emperor for his own slaves, and then be detained a hat that hinders the great government, Daming has never lacked people, you can go if you want to go, three-legged toads are not easy to find, and there are many two-legged people......
