As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this big goods that was enough to shock him, he immediately forgot the anger he had just received.

The so-called distraction is just that.

"Keep up!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order, he quickly turned over and chased after him, and then rode a horse to chase after him.

And Mao Xiang and the ten young men in Jinyi who were already in front of Ye Qing and were very familiar with their faces were guarding the carriage carrying Queen Ma and Shen Wan'er, and followed them all the way.

The group of them greeted the sunset that was already heading west, and went all the way to the 'Donghai Mining Development Group' that Zhu Yuanzhang had heard of, but had never been to.

They followed the coast of Ninghai County, where they could see the coast of Xiangshan County opposite, all the way to the north.

Finally, they saw the end of the Tranxiang Bay.

At the end of Ningxiang Bay, Ninghai County borders Xiangshan County, and it is also where the 'Donghai Mining Development Group' is located.

In the eyes of everyone, this wide gate is not the wooden gate of the traditional Hu Changfang, it can be said that this so-called gate is the horse in front of the city gate.

Many things that resemble horses are lined up together, blocking this wide avenue.

Under normal circumstances, only one opening is opened for one carriage only.

And on the edge of this opening, there is a two-story building!

The first floor is the guard's duty place, the second floor is the doorman's accommodation, and the words 'Donghai Mining Development Group' stand on the roof of this small building.

"Lord Ye, you're here."

After Ye Qing nodded, he took the lead in entering, and then beckoned the doorman to let the carriage and horses behind.

Finally, they came to the avenue in the factory of Donghai Mining Development Group!

Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage looked at both sides, only seeing the side of the sea and the side of the far sea, all of which were factories that Yanmen County had seen.

But the size of these factories has long exceeded the cognition of Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

The factory building on the far sea side is as big as the factory building of the Yanmen Arsenal, which is already the largest factory in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

And the factory building on the offshore side is more than twice as large as the factory building the size of this arsenal room!

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head by chance, looking at the waves coming from the shooting, and only felt that these factories on the offshore side were like dragon boat giants about to go to sea.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately had a conjecture.

"Lord Ye, your factory on the offshore side is all about building big ships!"

Ye Qing looked at Master Guo, who was no longer the same as before, always startled, and only felt that he had been following him for a long time, and he had made a lot of obvious progress.

Ye Qing smiled lightly: "First come with me to visit the factory on the far side of the sea." ”

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage, under the leadership of Ye Qing, casually went to a factory.

Just before they entered the factory, they saw the name of this factory workshop.

"Navy, riveted cloth visor, production workshop?"

"Navy, what kind of army is it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a frown.

Ye Qing didn't stop, and said as he walked forward: "Actually, it's the Ming Navy, I don't think the name of the Navy is good, so I directly changed the name to the Navy!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "The name of the army, you can change it if you say it, is this navy the emperor's His Majesty's, or is it your Lord Ye's?" ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's voice fell, he looked at Ye Qing directly, waiting for his answer.

If his answer doesn't satisfy him, he's going to get angry!

This is a matter of principle, this is a matter that must not be conceded by half a point, once he gets angry, Ye Qing's head will not be protected!

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about it like this, Queen Ma and Mao Xiang also showed worry on their faces.

They knew that even if Ye Qing replied that 'it's my army' and 'I can change it as I want', it would be just cruel words.

But these braggart and cruel words must not be said in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

They only hope that Ye Qing can give a reasonable explanation.

Just when they were so hopeful, Ye Qing just said lightly: "I didn't say that all the naval forces of the Ming Dynasty were renamed 'navy'. ”

"I am the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture, and there is only one special government in Ningbo, so naturally it is within Ningbo, and I can grasp the military and government."

"Therefore, it will only be the naval army of Ningbo Prefecture, all of which will be renamed the navy!"

"However, only the navy can equip me with these, equipment exclusively for the navy!"

For such an answer, Zhu Yuanzhang was actually not very satisfied.

It stands to reason that he doesn't even have the qualifications to change the name of the Ningbo Navy to the Navy, but who told him that Zhu Yuanzhang gave the plaque of 'Ningbo Special Government'?

As the saying goes, the path you choose will be finished while crying.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang thought of what he had announced to the outside world, that he had taken the initiative to establish a special government in Ningbo, he once again made a decision to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"Not to mention, the navy is not only better than the navy, but also more domineering."

"After all, the sea is inclusive!"

Queen Ma listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's big truth that he was actually retreating, and nodded with a smile.

But then, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned again.

Because he thought about Ye Qing's last sentence, Ye Qing's meaning was obvious, that is, if the other naval forces of the Ming Dynasty were not renamed the navy, they would not be worthy of equipping him with these equipment.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang already had the plan to back down again and let the national navy be renamed the navy.

But the emperor has the pride of the emperor!

If his equipment could not satisfy him Zhu Yuanzhang, he would not give in easily.

Zhu Yuanzhang held this idea and followed Ye Qing to visit the so-called 'Donghai Mining Development Group'.

He saw here the 'rivet cloth face armor' that was far higher than the craftsmanship of the Imperial Ordnance Bureau.

The rivet cloth armor equipped by the Southern Army of the Ming Dynasty is a double-layer cloth surface, with an iron sheet and a rivet fixed design.

This design is mainly for both protection and warmth, because the main battlefield of the Southern Army is in the northeast, as well as along the river and coastal areas.

The armor of the Northern Army was more protective, but it was too thick to be conducive to fighting on the march of mountains and hills.

In the long-term practice, the Ming Dynasty has the habit of different equipment of the two armies of the north and the south!

It is an indisputable fact that the equipment of the Northern Army manufactured by the Yanmen Arsenal is far superior to that of the Imperial Ordnance Bureau.

And the Yanmen Arsenal itself has essentially become the best in the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Army Weapons and Armor Supply Factory!

Zhu Yuanzhang and others have thought about it, and Ye Qing also built a 'Southern Army Arsenal' for Daming.

It's just that I never expected that this Nanjun Arsenal would exist in the form of 'Donghai Mining Development Group'.

The riveted cloth face armor produced here is not only far superior to the Imperial Armament Bureau in terms of warmth and defensiveness, but also far superior to the Imperial Armament Bureau.

Just now, Zhu Yuanzhang and others saw in person that a pig equipped with rivet cloth armor was beaten by so many firearms.

After the armor was removed, only the inner nail plate was dented, and only some marks on the pig's body were seen.

Everyone can imagine that if a person is wearing this armor and is beaten by so many firearms, it is certain that he will be blue and purple, but there will be no fatal injuries.

Ye Qing looked at Master Guo, who was already shocked, and deliberately quipped: "If you think that the pig experiment can't prove anything, why don't you put it on and experiment?" ”

"Don't worry, although I don't know martial arts, I can fight well!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became angry in his nostrils.

He only felt that this Ye Qing was completely hopeless.

The saying that you will go to the house to uncover the tiles if you don't fight for three days, and the saying that you will open a dyeing workshop if you give a little color, is very good for this person.

Before Ye Qing met, Master Guo was about to lose anymore, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "I've known each other for so long, you still can't afford to joke." ”

"You're not funny, it's not fun!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qing went to a workshop next door alone.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this chic back, and really wanted to smash the back of his head with the sole of his shoe.

"This person, he has finished talking about it, what else are we going to say?"

Queen Ma hurriedly held his hand and whispered, "Think about this armor that is better than ours, and think about these techniques that are better than ours." ”

“.”

Under the persuasion of Queen Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang once again remembered the 'crime of great disrespect' for Ye Qing, and followed in his footsteps.

The technology of knives and arrows is the same as that of Yanmen Arsenal, and more water forging equipment is used to achieve the effect of desulfurization.

They knew that the final core technology was Ye Qing's use of water power and his mastery of metal forging, which was far superior to that of the imperial court.

Better material performance can make the performance of knives, arrows, guns and guns better!

After they had seen the guns and cannons, they came to the last workshop!

After Zhu Yuanzhang and others saw the products in this workshop, their eyes immediately widened, because this is a cannon that is larger than a firecracker, but smaller than a cannon.

"Lord Ye, you're here."

"We're about to conduct an experiment on the [Adjustable Elevation Angle Tiger Squat Cannon], can you go and take a look?"

"Who are these?"

In front of Ye Qing and the others, the person who came to greet them was the chief engineer in charge of the [Adjustable Elevation Angle Tiger Squat Cannon] production workshop.

Ye Qing smiled lightly: "Chen Gong, this official is here to introduce you, this Master Guo is the person who pays you wages, and he is the investor of our Donghai Mining Development Group." ”

Immediately afterwards, he introduced the person in charge to Mr. Guo, who was transferred from the Ningbo Firearms Bureau.

Chen Gongxing saluted: "It turned out to be Boss Guo, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

"Then lead the way in front of the next head!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others looked at the cannon that was picked up and left, and they were also curious all of a sudden.

I wonder how powerful this cannon is, which is larger than a firearm and smaller than a cannon.

If the power is good, then this cannon completely compensates for the shortcomings of the cannon's poor mobility.

Before they could reach the test site, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others began to ask curiously.

Although Ye Qing was a little impatient, it was not that he was unwilling to explain, but he really didn't know how to explain.

To be honest, he himself feels a little shameless!

Because in this regard, he copied the creativity of the famous general Qi Jiguang in later generations!

The tiger squat cannon is a weapon invented by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Jiajing period, which is not only powerful, but also easy to carry, which greatly strengthens the mobility of the cannon!

In a sense, the Tiger Squat Cannon is the ancestor of mortars!

And he, Ye Qing, only applied the elevation angle adjustment mechanism of the mortar to the body of the tiger squat artillery, thus creating this kind of cross-era intermediate product.

There is no way, the current overall industrial level, it is not possible to make a firing pin primer shell, only such a move is a 'combination of ancient and modern'!

But even so, it was hundreds of years ahead of the current era.

Ye Qing believes that his adjustable elevation angle tiger squat cannon will definitely be able to reap miraculous results in the beach-grabbing landing battle against the Japanese and the urban battle in the street battles on the island!

On the proving ground,

In everyone's eyes, an adjustable elevation angle tiger squat cannon is standing there like this, it really looks like a tiger squatting there.

"Fire!"

With Chen Gong's order, a fiery red meteor rushed out of the cannon, drawing a magnificent parabola in the air, and then fell to the ground and blossomed.

The power of the shells, although not as powerful as real cannons, is also more than half.

Immediately afterwards, they experimented with adjusting the firing range by adjusting the elevation angle, and all of them were very successful.

Finally, they carried out experiments with maneuvering with guns.

As long as it's not that kind of thin and weak person, even if it's an ordinary man, he can carry it away.

If you come to a strong person, you can directly hold it and run it, and you can also hold it to climb.

"Good!"

"This cannon is simply amazing!"

"This is a cannon tailored for the mountainous south, for the beach-grabbing landing, for fighting low and high!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he directly praised it loudly.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Ye Qing again, and habitually said, "If you dedicate this technique to Your Majesty, you can be promoted again." ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's voice fell, Queen Ma and the others also looked at Ye Qing, with a look of expectation in their eyes.

They were all expecting Ye Qing to give a satisfactory answer!

In everyone's eyes, Ye Qing looked at Master Guo in front of him, just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then went to another workshop alone.

At the same time, he just said in a leisurely tone: "I said that only the Navy can have these equipment. ”

"If Your Majesty wants it in the future, you can let the Southern Army buy it, and I can give the cost price, just like the Northern Army placed an order to the Yanmen Arsenal."

"But it's still the same sentence, these equipment of mine are only sold to the Daming Navy, not to the Daming Navy!"

"As for technology!"

"Your Majesty still hasn't passed my assessment, even if I take it into the cemetery, I will never give it to him!"

“.”

After Ye Qing said these words, he didn't stay any longer.

In fact, in order to help the Northern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom fight the Southern Dynasty in the future, and also help the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom to fight the Northern Dynasty, in addition to building this adjustable elevation angle tiger squat cannon, he also built the 'Wolf Sword'.

In a few days, he will also let the soldiers practice the 'Mandarin Duck Formation'.

It can be said that Qi Jiguang's things, he has basically carried out the improvement of the 'combination of ancient and modern'.

He copied a lot of Qi Jiguang's ideas, and he felt a little embarrassed.

But when I think about it, I don't think it's anything.

Qi Jiguang's innovative spirit is unchanged, and when that time comes, he will only build better weapons.

Perhaps, he will be able to build a real mortar directly on the basis of the 'adjustable Tiger Squat Cannon'.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing went directly to the large workshop near the sea.

For Ye Qing, this large-scale workshop in the offshore direction is the place where the country is built.

The Yuan Dynasty also thought about conquering the Wa Kingdom, but lost to Feng Lang!

And the important weapon of the country made in his large workshop can ensure that the navy of the Ming Dynasty will not be easily lost to the wind and waves!

And at this moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang did not follow.

Just because of what Ye Qing said just now, he has stepped on his Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line!.

I ask the officials to follow up on the support, and ask for the support of recommended tickets and monthly passes, thank you!
