In the era of sailing wooden ships, the transportation capacity of ships was terrifying.

Take the famous Spanish galleon as an example, it can carry more than 100 sailors for ocean voyages in normal times, and can carry more than 500 sailors in some important battles, like a large moving castle.

But the steel steamship built by Bai Gongzi is not good.

I can't pretend, I really can't pretend.

The hull was too heavy, and a heavy steam engine was added.

In order for the steam engine to travel long distances, the ship must also carry enough coal, this thing is so heavy that a cabin of coal can weigh tens of thousands of catties, which can top a hundred adults.

"The ability to transport troops is so weak." Bai Gongzi shook his head.

A blue hat next to him said: "Bai Gongzi, it seems that our steamships can't all be made into one style, and they must be classified." ”

Bai Gongzi: "Oh? What is the taxonomy? ”

Blue hat: "There are more artillery and less troops, which are specially used for artillery warfare." And those who transport a lot of troops do not need artillery, and are specially used for assault hand-to-hand combat. We can also design a special supply ship that can be operated with only a few crew members, without cannons, without armor, as light as possible, and leaving all the load for coal. Let this kind of supply ship run behind the fleet, like the transport team behind the army, and the main battle gunboat can carry less coal and reduce its own weight. ”

Bai Gongzi: "Reasonable! Very reasonable. It seems that there are really a few more ships to be designed, and a mixed fleet is going to be built. But I'm not very good at fighting, so what kind of mixed fleet should I have, and what kind of ships do I need? I'll have to ask some professionals who know how to fight, and then I can design accordingly. ”

The blue hat said: "I will immediately go and call the pirate leader Aries and the swordsman over and ask them to staff the staff." ”

Bai Gongzi: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." It will take a year and a half to build a steel ship, to say the least. Tianzun said that our maritime hegemony with Westerners depends on the continuous efforts of several generations, and it cannot be achieved overnight. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Gongzi suddenly thought of something: "By the way, how are the preparations for the shipbuilding industry school?" ”

A blue hat came up and said, "School will start next month and recruit the first batch of students." ”

Bai Gongzi nodded: "Very good!" It is necessary to train more skilled workers who specialize in shipbuilding, and this is a century-old plan. Pay attention to the students' political examination must pass the test, and do not let the technology flow into the hands of Westerners. Although long-term blocking technology is not realistic, it is feasible to achieve short-term blocking. ”

The blue hats all laughed: "Yes, Tianzun also said that it can't flow into the hands of Westerners in the short term." ”

The group chatted like this, and walked past the two brothers in Suzhou.

The two brothers in Suzhou glanced at each other, and at the same time said in a low voice: "Oh, what is the Shipbuilding Industry School?" After studying there, will you be able to become a skilled worker and wear a blue hat? We'll have to go back and see. We're not Westerners, so they won't block us, right? ”——

Chongzhen 9th year, May, Northeast, Shengjing.

Huang Taiji looked at Yue Tuo below with an unhappy expression: "The Mongolian Wushen tribe in the west has made trouble again, and in recent days, they have been attacking several tribes belonging to us, making a lot of trouble. ”

Yue Tuo said with an embarrassed face: "The Wushen tribe has the help of the big iron car of the Ming Dynasty, we really have no good way to deal with him, and the only means of confrontation that can be used at present is to lead the big iron car to swamps, wetlands, or shallow rivers and other places, so that it does not dare to enter." ”

Huang Taiji frowned: "The spy I asked you to send to carry out the 'Jiang Gan Book Stealing Operation' hasn't sent back the drawings of the big iron car?" ”

"Nope!" Yue Tuo's face was embarrassed: "The spy can't be contacted, and I sent people three times, but there was no response." None of the people I sent later came back. ”

Huang Taiji frowned: "Could it be ......"

Yue Tuo: "Stealing the other party's important technology is originally a matter of nine deaths, and the spies may have all died honorably." ”

Huang Taiji: "It seems that Jiang Gan's book theft operation has failed, alas! Well, Jiang Gan's book theft in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was also an unsuccessful ploy, and it is understandable that our operation failed this time. ”

As he was saying this, a group of Han officials and Confucian ministers walked in.

This group of Han officials and Confucian ministers include Bao Chengxian, Ning Wanme, Fan Wencheng, Luo Xiu, etc., all of whom are very important ministers of Huangtaiji.

It's just because the Manchu group of important ministers is illiterate nine times out of ten, and they can only fight, not government affairs. This group of Han officials and Confucian ministers is obviously very important in the construction of the system.

Bao Chengxian, Ning Wanme, Fan Wencheng, Luo Xiu and other civil officials are taking turns to play: "Your Majesty, you are eloquent and strategic, unparalleled in the world, and you should be honored as soon as possible." ”

"Zaozhengzun?" Huang Taiji pretended to have a modest expression, brushed the ground and took out a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from his arms, opened it quickly, pointed to the words in the book and said: "Everyone, please see, Chen Qun, Sun Quan and others instigated Cao Cao to ascend the throne and become emperor. But Cao Cao said, 'I have been a Han for many years, although I have merits and the people, but as for the king, the name is already extreme, how dare I have more hope?' Gou Tian's destiny is lonely, and Lone is the king of Zhou Wen. ’”

Huang Taiji closed the book and said with a serious face: "Even a traitor like Cao Cao is not called the emperor, and I can't be called either, otherwise, wouldn't it seem worse than Cao Cao?" ”

Fan Wencheng: "Cao Cao is a traitor, and his approach is really not worth referencing." But Liu Xuande is a benevolent and virtuous king, you can refer to him. As soon as he entered Xichuan, he was immediately proclaimed emperor. You are now sitting in Liaodong, and you are the same person as Liu Xuande, who is destined to return, and this world should be ruled by you, and it is right for you to call yourself an emperor. ”

Huang Taiji: "Oh? That sounds like a bit of a point. ”

He thought about it seriously for a few seconds, slammed "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the table, and said loudly: "Okay, I've decided, I'll also be the emperor." It was named 'Xuande Emperor Action'. ”

Everyone: "The emperor is wise." ”

Huang Taiji smiled: "Jiang Gan's book stealing operation failed, because it was a failure. But the 'Xuande Emperor's Operation' must be successful, because Liu Xuande's claim to be the emperor was successful. ”

Everyone: "The emperor is wise." ”

So, the discussion ended, and preparations for the "Xuande Emperor Operation" began, and the officials prepared various ceremonial guards for Huang Taiji to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, and made all kinds of preparations.

On the 11th day of April of the lunar calendar, the action was successful, Huang Taiji called the emperor, changed the Yuan Chongde, took this year as the first year of Chongde, and officially changed the country name "Dajin" to "Daqing"; The capital is Shengjing, and the ministers are honored as "Kuanwen Rensheng Emperor." ”

As soon as the ceremony of proclaiming himself emperor ended, Huang Taiji took out a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from his arms, pointed at it and said loudly to his courtiers: "After Liu Bei became emperor back then, he immediately sent troops to attack Cao Cao. I should follow suit. I now announce that Azig, the king of Dorowuying, will command 100,000 troops to attack Ming, and the operation will be codenamed 'Operation Xishu Cutting Cao'. ”

Azig: "Your Majesty, we don't have as many as 100,000 people." ”

Huang Taiji was angry: "Stupid, during the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao didn't have a million people, didn't he also claim to be a million?" Can't you watch more "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and learn more about the art of war? ”
