Chapter 488: The Iron Battleship is About to Set Sail!

Zhu Jianshen was ready to retire. Whoa

Zhu Jianji's heart suddenly moved, and said to Zhu Jianshen: "In the past few years, you have been in the palace for a short time, and now you are alone in the country, and there are no relatives who can move around because of family affection, but no matter what, my family is your dearest, anyway, the matter of changing the land and returning to the river cannot be solved in a day or two, not in a hurry, you first go to Shoukang Palace to ask the imperial grandmother to say goodbye, and then go to the Qianqing Palace to find the emperor and say, let's eat hot pot in the evening, well, I will send someone to the Ten Princes' Mansion to inform Princess Yue, Let her bring my nephews and nieces into the palace."

Zhu Jianshen thanked him and retired.

Zhu Jianji took a sip of tea and rubbed his temples.

Not in its place, I don't know its weight.

On the one hand, he had to carefully plan the implementation plan and steps of the foreign strategy, and the most brain-burning thing was the promotion of various domestic reforms.

Because they are all cross-generational efforts, it is necessary to make up for the negative impact of the reform between different eras.

I closed my eyes and squinted for a few minutes. Whoa

I felt a little more relaxed physically and mentally, so I opened my eyes and said to Dai Yi: "The Xuanbing Department, the ministers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Chen Xun, the head of the Household Department, and the director of the Dengzhou Shipyard are here to meet you."

Yu Qian brought He Jian, the left attendant of the military department, and many generals from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies into the palace.

A few more people.

Among them is Fang Mu, director of the Navy Department of the Ministry of War.

Well, at present, the director of the Navy Department is almost a salty and indifferent position, and he is more idle than the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so don't look at it as an official under the fourth grade, and his status in the government and the opposition is very low.

But Fang Mu was born in a noble family.

Fang Mu's ancestor is Fang Kuan, the hero of Jingnan, this person was originally under the command of Xu Da, and later served as the commander of Beiping to make Tongzhi and guard Daning, but his military ability is not good, Zhu Di went to Daning when he was martyred, and the guards of Daning actually tied up Fang Kuan and surrendered to Zhu Di. Whoa

Zhu Di let him go and let him continue to lead the troops, but when he led the right army in Baihegou, he lost, and then followed Zhu Di to defeat Guangchang and Zhangde, and entered the capital to supervise the affairs because of his military exploits.

After the success of Jingnan, Fang Kuan sealed Sienhou, Lu 800 stones, and the world commander envoy.

So Fang Kuan's son Fang Sheng was a hereditary conductor and served in the water division.

Fang Mu is Fang Sheng's grandson.

Later, Zhu Jianji asked the Ministry of War to establish the Ministry of the Navy, because the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of War had a conflict in name, so it was changed to the Department of the Navy.

And then it's over.

So far, the Navy Department has only one official, Fang Mu, and a few officials, and there is not a single soldier, let alone the military power of the South China Sea Fleet, even the affairs of the Navy Division, and they have no right to intervene. Whoa

It can be said that it is the commander of the light pole.

The crowd saluted.

Zhu Jianji glanced at Dai Yi, Dai Yi comprehended, and immediately asked people to move the stool, now Yu Shaobao's treatment can be said to be unique in the Ming Dynasty, not only in the Qianqing Palace's small court meeting, Wenhua Hall has a position, even in the Fengtian Hall to participate in the big court meeting, Emperor Taishang or Emperor Guang'an, will give Yu Shaobao a seat.

After the courtesy, let Yu Qian sit down.

Zhu Jianji said slowly: "In the morning, at the Great Court Meeting, the matter of strengthening the construction of the navy has been decided by hundreds of officials. At present, the strength of the naval division is the weakest in our Ming army, but with the development of maritime trade and the new discoveries obtained by my Ming Dynasty's exploration of the universe, I think that in the next few hundred years, it will be the age of navigation, and the navy will become a direct proof of the strength of the national strength of all nations in the universe, so my Ming Dynasty's strengthened naval construction must be at the forefront, why do I have to say these truths again? It's because I want to remind you that the matter of the navy is a national event related to the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and there is no room for perfunctory!" ….

The ministers were awe-struck and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Shengming."

Zhu Jianji nodded with satisfaction. Whoa

He first looked at Li Shunda, the director of Dengzhou Shipyard, and asked, "At Dengzhou Shipyard, to what extent has the project preparation for the new warship been carried out?"

Li Shunda hurriedly stepped forward, "According to His Majesty's will, the shipyard has been repaired

Three super-large docks have been built, and a special warship R&D and design department has been set up, and repeated revisions have been made in accordance with the design drawings given by His Majesty, but the steam engine has not been produced for a long time, and the amount of space left for the steam engine cannot be determined in the design of the battleship, so the overall design of the new warship cannot be finalized!"

Zhu Jianji hummed, "The steam engine can be tested this month, but to produce a steam engine that can propel warships, I'm afraid it will take half a year, but it doesn't matter, there is a way to be a ten-year air force and a hundred years of navy, and naval construction is a long thing."

He Jian, the left attendant of the military department, keenly discovered a new word in Zhu Jianji's words, "Your Majesty, what is the Air Force?"

Zhu Jianji said casually: "I am a new type of military under the judgment of the future situation, it is too early to say that the air force is too early, and I estimate that I will not have the opportunity to establish an air force in my lifetime."

Coughing, "Don't mention it. Li Shunda, on the research and development and design of new warships, the shipyard will definitely encounter a series of problems, if there is a problem, immediately concentrate manpower to tackle the problem, if it is a steel process problem, such as the material performance of the impeller of the new warship, you will put forward a request according to the research, play it in me, and at the same time line the Ministry of Culture and Industry, ask the Ministry of Industry to cooperate, in a word, the basic direction of the country is to build a fleet that can sail to any position in the ocean between the entire universe, And this fleet can also have the ability to suppress absolute firepower in this area!"

After a pause, "So regarding the design of the firepower of the new warship, there is only one requirement: as much as possible, the stronger, the better!" Whoa

Li Shunda immediately received the order.

He also said: "Your Majesty, according to your design drawing, a battleship can be equipped with dozens of artillery, and hundreds of troops equipped with Dongfeng rifles and light and heavy machine guns, plus artillery operators, it is about 1,500 people, plus the weight of the new warship itself, and a large number of coal mines needed for the operation of the steam engine, Weichen thinks that this weight may make the steam engine unable to meet the demand, can the number of artillery and the number of personnel on board be reduced?"

Zhu Jianji asked, "Is this a problem found in your R&D and design?"

Li Shunda said: "Yes, this problem is difficult to solve, after all, there are 1,500 people, plus dozens of artillery pieces, ammunition, and a large amount of coal, Chen Zhen doesn't know if the steam engine developed by the National Military Research Institute and the Donggong Military Research Institute can meet this demand."

Zhu Jianji thought about it.

The steam engine just appeared, and I don't know how much power this thing can reach, and everything can only be determined after the test machine, so he said to Li Shunda: "In this way, you stay in Gyeonggi for a while, and when you get the data after the steam engine test this month, you can go back to the Dengzhou shipyard to modify the design plan according to the data."

If it weren't for the last resort, Zhu Jianji was still unwilling to reduce the firepower configuration of the steel battleship. Whoa

Li Shunda led the order.

Zhu Jianji waved his hand, "Stand down."

When the autumn wind is sad to draw a fan
