Chapter 2234

After a period of time, I watched large ships enter the canal from the dry dock. There were both Western Galen sailboats and standard blessing ships. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when Zheng He's fleet lost its treasure ship manufacturing skills, blessing ships were the main force of the Ming Navy.

The Navy built by Yu Dayou in those days was dominated by blessing ships, and the fighting capacity of blessing ships in these days was not poor. According to the information provided by the imperial court, the best blessing ship was about 50 meters long, 10 meters wide, almost six meters deep, and 600 or 700 tons.

According to their physique, they are no smaller than Galen's ships. It's just that there are too few Dafu ships under the command of the Ming court.

With sufficient timber, Xu Junxian built 12 large ships in many dry docks in a circle, which is already a fleet.

In the past, the shipyard in Beijing was really small. It was only used to repair and maintain the ships on the Beijing Hangzhou canal. It was also stimulated by Tong Jian and others. After the upsurge of going to the west, the imperial court was vigorously expanding the shipyard and sent a large number of young people to dredge and widen the canal.

In this regard, not only the imperial court, but also all kinds of honourable nobles and gentry in the capital are taking the initiative to pay money and make efforts to mobilize the people on both sides of the river to work.

Robbed five or six million silver goods, which can really stimulate the local rich misers to know the significance of open source.

Even if you can't go to Qi Jiguang's Beijing camp and enter the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty, won't you form a caravan and go to sea with the fleet? At that time, whether it's robbing the army for the remaining treasures or trading with the Daming fleet, it's a big deal.

If you want to do that, you must make the Beijing Hangzhou canal more convenient and the main traffic road more prosperous.

Compared with the opportunity to make a fortune in the future, it is still necessary to take some money for initial investment. Therefore, the operators who were abolished in the past were originally qualified engineers and construction soldiers of Xun GUI. They used to build houses, but now they dredge canals and transport wood.

The people are also very enthusiastic. Many people's children have joined the Beijing camp.

Watching the towering fleet travel and waiting to try shelling, Tian Yicai couldn't help sighing, "if it weren't for the loss of father Zheng's treasure ship data, the treasure ship I Daming could own would definitely be far more than the Western ship like folangji."

Zhu Yijun also regretted, "since I know the general situation of the world, I have made great efforts to look for the information of Duke Zheng's treasure ship, but whether I go to the descendants of Liu Daxia or read the Yongle ceremony, I haven't found any specific information. It's a pity."

Of course, the Yongle grand ceremony of the Ming Dynasty will record the information of the treasure ship fleet, but this grand ceremony is also full of disasters.

The Yongle grand ceremony was completed in the sixth year of Yongle, with more than 20000 volumes and more than 10000 volumes. It was placed in Wenyuan Pavilion in the southern capital. When Chengzu moved his capital to the north, he only brought some of them to the capital.

In the 14th year of orthodoxy, the fire in Wenyuan Pavilion, the southern capital, burned there in a mess. In the 36th year of Jiajing, there was another fire in Bauhinia city. Fortunately, in the 41st year of Jiajing, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others re recorded the Yongle ceremony.

This is what happened 18 years ago. At present, there are 8000 copies of Yongle grand ceremony included in Bauhinia city. Compared with Yongle era, there are still thousands of books and materials.

The 44 feet and four feet long real treasure ship described in Zheng He's treasure ship belongs to the missing data.

With their words, Xu Junxian smiled. "Although I can't build at will without detailed information, it won't be difficult for your majesty as long as he is willing to encourage Quan Daming's ship craftsmen to innovate various technologies, push through the old and bring forth the new on the existing blessing ship, and make a bigger and better ship."

"More than a hundred years ago, Chengzu could build such a big ship. It doesn't make sense. You descendants can't do it. It's just that Daming oppressed craftsmen too seriously in the past."

At this point, he also looked at Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are diversified at all levels. It is definitely not businessmen but workers and peasants who are most forced in Daming.

Under his gaze, Zhang Juzheng saluted decisively and seriously, "Xianjun Mingjian, in the past, my Daming scholar bureaucrat class was a little narrow-minded, but since Tong Xianjun and others came, various ideological storms have already swept all classes inside and outside the Daming."

"Before Xu Xianjun came, the treatment of Ming craftsmen and the living environment had been greatly improved. The cabinet also issued policies to encourage folk craftsmen to make various inventions and innovations. As long as they have real effects, the Ming court will not hesitate to reward them."

"Today, when I see immortals like Xu Xianjun, they are so proficient in cooking and craftsmanship. Naturally, we dare not despise craftsmen any more."

It has been a centuries old tradition for the officials of the great Ming Dynasty to despise craftsmen and suppress them with various constraints. However, the Western fever began. This matter has really changed quietly. Before Tong Jian and others came, the living standards of craftsmen in Jiangnan in the early years of Wanli were also greatly improved.

After all, this is an era when capitalism is sprouting and developing. People with real skills and skills are still very popular and are hired by all kinds of small capital with high salaries.

Zhu Yijun was also happy. "What Xianjun said is right. Even if there is no Yongle ceremony and previous treasure ship materials, I encourage craftsmen to innovate and create. I don't believe that our descendants are not as glorious as our ancestors."

"Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang, I think we can take a bigger step. If anyone can make Duke Zheng's treasure boat a hundred years ago, the imperial court can reward the baron. If there are many people who make such treasure boats, then we can separate the thousands of Yinzi royal guards."

It's the most wrong idea to look down on craftsmen since the arrival of Xianjun. Haven't you seen that Xu Junxian Xianjun personally makes food and all kinds of swords and utensils? If you still insist on the previous view, are you afraid of being killed by a thunder light from Xianjun? And make you stink forever!

Even in the laughter of the people, the 12 large ships that sailed into the canal gradually docked on the shore. The people, ships and goods along the canal were cleared by the people arranged by the imperial court.

After clearing the site, artillery trucks were arranged to bomb the ship.

Boom~

Under the attack from a close range of less than 100 meters, countless people witnessed with their own eyes that the shells of bronze guns fell on the ship. Whether they hit the wood of the ship's hull or the sails, these shells did not hurt the ship at all.

Not to mention tearing up the hull boards or sails. When the guns bounce a few times and finally stop on the deck or after falling into the river, there are no traces of black marks in those places where the guns are hit.

Such an exaggerated effect stunned everyone. Yu Xiegao, the general of the Navy, said with ecstasy, "if such a fairy ship fights with the enemy, just let the soldiers hide, they can shorten the distance all the way, and even fire against the enemy's head!"

When the shell hits the hull, it must also bring shock force. If the sailors vibrate closely, they will be killed, but won't you hide away? It's just a bumpy boat.
