Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Under the careful arrangement and deployment of Yuhuatian, the people of the West Factory began to act...

In Chuxiu Palace, the Queen Mother summoned the Minister of Internal Affairs.

From all the women in the world, a woman with outstanding beauty was selected as a backup for His Majesty, and the draft was started in full swing.

The yamen of the major prefectures have received the Queen Mother's decree to select women to enter the palace...

Above the hall, the Minister of the Household, Liang Chu, arched the ivory arc in his hand, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the bank, the grain store, and the walk are all under construction. I'm overwhelmed..."

Zhu Houzhao listened to the complaints of the Minister of the Ministry of Household, and immediately understood Liang Chu's thoughts in his heart. Although the Ministry of Household controls the country's money, he really can't get the money now.

Zhu Houzhao glared at Liang Chu deliberately and said, "I don't care about this. What I want is money. If you can't get the money, then you shouldn't do this Shangshu."

"Your Majesty, isn't it difficult for you to be a strong man?"

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Liang Shangshu is resourceful and resourceful. I believe that it is hard for Liang Shangshu to make money."

When Liang Chu heard Zhu Houzhao say this, he really wanted to vomit three liters of blood.

But he has no way to refute it for the time being. Who made him the Minister of the Household? He is in charge of the wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty. The emperor has no money. If he doesn't ask for it, who else will he ask?

When Zhu Houzhao asked him, he was speechless, and Liang Chu could only return to the court temporarily.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao knew that the newly improved Daming taxation system, especially the commercial tax, would soon accumulate silver coins in the treasury once it was put into operation.

When Zhu Houzhao returned to the Qianqing Palace, Cao Zhengchun's papers were submitted, most of which recorded the daily lives of some ministers.

When the Minister of Works returned to the government office, he immediately summoned all the craftsmen and allocated huge sums of money to repair the firearms, which really made the people of the Ministry of Works happy.

Since Qi Jingtong served as the first captain of the Daming Navy, he lived and ate with the soldiers every day. He didn't even go home after going to court every day. He set off directly to Tanggu, which was simply his second home.

Now, he can't wait to build Daming's battleship, which is already very important to him.

In the court, there were people who objected to this at the beginning. After all, the battleship used by Zheng He, the **** of the Three Treasures, was too old and had been put on hold for a long time. It was unsafe to use, at least there was no need to repair it.

But after Qi Jingtong received the money from the household, he went directly to Tanggu wharf without looking back.

Tanggu Wharf.

Qi Jingtong, dressed in military uniform, got into the dock.

The battleship that Zheng He used in the past is now covered with thick dust, but this is nothing, in Qi Jingtong's view, this is simply a waste of time.

The few craftsmen who followed Qi Jingtong smacked their lips again and again. It was unbelievable that they used such a large-scale battleship a hundred years ago.

But what is surprising is that the warship has not been eaten by insects or bitten by rats after being placed here for a hundred years.

What they didn't expect was that the hull was coated with a thick layer of ketone oil. Even if the boat was soaked in water for a hundred years, it would not affect the wood at all.

Qi Jingtong looked at these giant ships. Arm waving.

The next moment, thousands of craftsmen carried out partial repairs and dust removal on the ship.

These craftsmen fought all night, and after a few days, this first warship tested the waters. This giant ship was the Zheng He Bao used by Zheng He on his seven voyages to the West, and the sword is still young.

The size of this ship is an eye-opener for everyone. It is no exaggeration to say that on this giant ship, it can be a good racetrack.

Five days later, the battleship Zheng Hebao was launched.

Ten days later, all sixty-six Zheng He Xiyang treasure ships were launched.

Qi Jingtong stood on the deck of the Zheng Hebao, looking down at the Taotao River, with great pride in his heart.

Behind him are more than 120 warships, of which 66 were used by Zheng He in those days. These warships have experienced hardships and achieved their former glory.

In addition to these sixty-six warships, there are also sixty warships left by Emperor Hongzhi back then. These warships stayed with Zheng Hebao, just like grandfather and grandson.

These navies all wanted to be arranged on Zheng He's warships, and everyone knew that these warships were the best warships in the Ming Dynasty.

However, only the most experienced sailors can be arranged there, and those new sailors can only watch these battleships eagerly.

"sail!"

With a loud shout, Zheng He's main ship set sail with the wind, and the mighty Daming Navy began its first search to defend the Daming coastline.

The mighty ocean-going giant ships set off, with great momentum. From a distance, the warships stood upright like soldiers on an expedition.

This is a moment of commemorative value. More than 120 warships, the invincible warships in the world, once again sailed on the sea. Isn't this a miracle of the Ming Dynasty?

This battle was no less than the momentum of Zheng He's team back then.

However, the warships under Zhu Houzhao's rule were not for trade and diplomacy, and naturally they did not have the shock of Zheng He's seven voyages to the West.

This time, Zhu Houzhao's purpose is very clear, he wants to bring war and conquest to the whole world.

Qi Jingtong began to train the Daming navy~www.wuxiahere.com~ Zhu Houzhao has ordered him to train a Daming navy who can conquer the world in one year. The navy, he would just raise his head to see Zhu Houzhao.

Qi Jingtong commanded a number of warships, patrolling the Daming coastline. The Daming coastline is very vast, reaching more than 20,000 nautical miles, and there are still many places that need to be patrolled.

Qi Jingtong's way of training the navy is also very special. They are only really trained when they patrol the sea, because the battle is to go to the actual battlefield.

In Qi Jingtong's eyes, training the Daming Navy will lead to the real sea, and hiding in a sheltered harbor will not be able to train good soldiers.

The entire Liaodong, including the Korean peninsula, is a subsidiary coastline of Daming. As a subsidiary country of Daming, the Joseon Dynasty paid a certain amount of tax to Daming every year as an annual contribution.

The Ming Dynasty also allowed their fishermen to fish offshore.

These fishermen suddenly saw a dark crowd of warships in the distance, and they all forced to retreat. When they saw these giant ships, they were all stunned there.

This battleship is like a fortress on the sea, the black hole of the artillery muzzle sticking out from the side of the ship, these artillery are definitely not decorations.

Behind each artillery, there are five artillerymen, all of them standing in the back energetically, listening to Qi Jingtong's orders at any time.

Qi Jingtong did not replace all the bronze guns of Zheng He's battleship, because the Ministry of Industry was developing formal guns, and he was patiently waiting for the results of the Ministry of Engineering. Although these bronze guns were not as good as iron guns in terms of range, their accuracy was exceptional. precise.

Qi Jingtong stood on the high platform of Zheng He's treasure, high-spirited, and the sea breeze was blowing his cloak, as if the Zheng He of the year appeared here again...
