Chapter 1164: Dragon Heart Joy

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

Emperor Hongzhi visited almost every position on the ship.

Oh, it turned out that the reason why the sail did not rise was because there was no need to rely on wind power for the time being. This time, it was to try the strength of steam power.

And... It turns out that the ship can also sail by inertia to a certain extent. At first, when the boiler was burning, the ship was slow, and when it gradually picked up speed, the speed may be further accelerated.

There are also those wrestlers in the boiler room, all of them are shirtless, but they are already sweating profusely, and the skin all over their bodies, as if they were steamed by sweat, turned white.

Helmsmen need to study nautical charts, and sea ships must have a relatively fixed route, because unknown sea areas, because of the unknown hydrology, are prone to the risk of running aground, of course, especially in offshore waters.

While sailing in the open sea, most of them rely on ocean currents.

There is also wind power, which is limited because the wind direction can change at any time.

besides……

Emperor Hongzhi looked at these sailors and sailors in the turbulence. Here, he felt unsteady standing here, and his head was a little dizzy, but they all performed their duties tirelessly.

It's not easy.

Emperor Hongzhi felt emotional.

It is conceivable that those who traveled across the oceans traveled across the oceans, and experienced many hardships on the way.

Sailing to the west, for the national policy, and following his own will, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people have changed their lives, but I... almost ignored them.

Fang Jifan also began to open up the conversation: "Your Majesty, if the sea trial is completed, I implore you, Daming needs to organize a large-scale steamship fleet."

"Hmm." Emperor Hongzhi said thoughtfully, "It must have cost a lot."

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth and said: "My son heard that Franji has a fleet, known as the Armada. They traverse the four seas and are full of evil."

From Fang Jifan's standpoint, this is no longer full of evil.

Emperor Hongzhi became cautious: "Really? After the sea trial, please come to the charter. Among the ministers, who can take charge of this fleet?"

"If Your Majesty believes in my son, Tang Yin, my disciple, has experience in commanding a navy before. It is safest for him to train the personnel and take charge of the fleet."

Emperor Hongzhi heard Fang Jifan put forward the word "believe".

Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly, your father died in battle thousands of miles away, you Fang Jifan is my son-in-law, you Fang Jifan trained the emperor's grandson, and made the emperor's grandson both civil and military, which is impressive. You, Fang Jifan, gathered money in Xishan and gave so many shares to Zhen and the crown prince for nothing. This guy, for the sake of the New Deal, has offended many people. Who can be trusted.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Tang Yin is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, so he can be of great use."

He looked relieved, no matter what, Fang Jifan was finally willing to communicate normally, which was an excellent sign.

Emperor Hongzhi continued: "These Frangji people are really damned, they dare to claim to be invincible. In the whole world, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers, the rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished if they get it. Fan, does this fleet have a ship name?"

As soon as he said it, Emperor Hongzhi regretted it.

Let Fang Jifan come up with the name, this is the scene of a car accident.

Fang Jifan tilted his head: "My Ming Dynasty stands in the east, the kingdom of heaven, and a mere Francophone. How dare I call myself undefeated? They are invincible, we are invincible, the name of this fleet is just like this fleet, it is Your Majesty's magical weapon, looking for opponents all over the world, we only want to be defeated, but there is no one in the world, so we have to be invincible."

This name... is too arrogant.

It is not in line with the spirit of Emperor Hongzhi.

But... Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved, anyway, this name has far exceeded his opponent Jifan's expectations.

This is much more normal than the scum of the world, Wang Bushi, and little Zhu Xiucai, who are bad guys. The previous ones were like those who came out of a madhouse.

Man, sometimes it's a bit mean.

Even if it is a son of heaven, he cannot be exempt from customs.

When someone breaks through the lower limit of his heart again and again, even if it is just a slightly normal name, Emperor Hongzhi can get a little comfort psychologically, and then he will give birth, and it will grow up, which is impressive. Such a strange psychology.

"Okay, according to Qing's play." Emperor Hongzhi realized that for Fang Jifan, it seemed... as long as the question about Frangji was involved, the taciturn Fang Jifan would be a little normal.

After the sea trial, the giant ship began to return. When the giant ship returned to the harbor again, all the officials on the shore let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally... back.

It didn't sink.

Sure enough, God bless my emperor.

Long live my emperor.

People scrambled to be the first to take out their binoculars and looked in the direction of the giant ship.

Everyone was smiling, of course, some people couldn't help but say a few words: "It's too bad, tens of millions of taels of silver, so much silver, wouldn't it be good to do something else, even if it is shipbuilding, it is enough to make a A large-scale fleet has been set up to go to the West, but with tens of millions of taels of silver, only a ship that can emit smoke has been built, hey... young people are not in charge of their families, and they don’t know how expensive firewood is.”

Many people nodded.

They don't know anything about ships. To them, if ten million taels of silver are used to build a hundred ships, it is of course a hundred dollars.

When people raised their binoculars one after another, they found that someone on the giant ship also raised their binoculars to look at themselves. When they looked carefully, this person... looked familiar...

Then, my heart skipped a beat, what the hell, Your Majesty.

Has the emperor seen himself? Did he find himself peeping?

So, he hurriedly took off the binoculars with a look of lingering fear.

A moment later, a semaphore was raised on the giant ship, and then an eunuch came: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites you to board the ship."

At this time, the ship has already sailed out to sea, obviously... This has proved that the giant ship is safe.

So, everyone got on the sampan one after another.

This time, it was even more embarrassing.

Four or five old guys who had eaten dry food boarded the boat, and the other two or three paddled.

Two people paddled, and five people watched.

The puffing wrestler felt as if his arm had been broken.

On the sampan, the gentlemen pinched their beards excitedly, found some inspiration, and couldn't help but want to sing poems.

Waiting for everyone to board the ship one after another.

On the deck, Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, but he heard Zhu Houzhao excitedly say: "Father, Father... The results of the sea test have come out, and the fuel used for this round trip, fifty miles, is only twenty and one. According to this estimate, the fuel is enough to provide a voyage of more than 700 miles, not only that, the speed is extremely fast... and..."

He ramblingly took out the densely packed notebooks and kept reporting the results.

It worked.

Great success.

This first ship is strong enough to take on great responsibilities, and it is stronger than all the ship information that Zhu Houzhao has seen at the moment.

Bigger, more fully equipped with firearms, faster, and fast enough to take on big tasks.

My years of hard work were not in vain.

Fang Jifan also squeezed out a little smile.

He still believes that his father is not dead.

Although there is a faint worry in his heart, as long as he doesn't think about it, he can still be happy.

And now... the years of hard work have finally paid off.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back and nodded in relief.

Although he also pretends to understand, he still doesn't understand why this ship is so sharp, except that it can emit smoke, and if it is faster.

But both the son and the son-in-law agree, so it is very good after all.

Emperor Hongzhi said with relief: "The prince really lived up to my expectations, very good, I am very pleased."

Emperor Hongzhi showed joy on his face: "I want to take the silver from the internal funds and build a steam fleet. What do you think, my lords?"

Ministers, you look at me, and I look at you.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Ma Wensheng.

Ma Wensheng felt a lot of pressure.

Baiguan's attitude is relatively clear.

They pay attention to doing big things with small money.

Even if it's the emperor's money, but... isn't the emperor's money also from the people's anointing?

His Minister of the Ministry of War had to do something.

If you applaud His Majesty, you will inevitably be despised by your colleagues, thinking that you are flattering, but...

He bit the bullet and coughed: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's better to be more cautious. This steamship looks majestic, but what's the use of putting it on the sea? The cost of the steamship is really too huge. Please, Your Majesty." Think twice, why don’t you build another one and try it out first? It’s really not going to work, why don’t you build more sailing boats for the same price...the price of sailing boats is much lower..."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

He found that these people were still stuck in the same thoughts as when he was in the past. Back then, why didn't he have such thoughts.

But... what Ma Wensheng said is not unreasonable, this steamship... really...

But at this time, someone boarded the ship and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Seeing that it was an eunuch, Emperor Hongzhi was out of breath, so he glanced sideways at the eunuch: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Dengzhou sent a letter."

Dengzhou...

People were surprised, Dengzhou, what can happen?

"Those ships, having escaped the ships of the Ningbo Navy, went all the way northward, attacked Dengzhou, defeated the Dengzhou Beiwowei water stronghold, and then ran away after looting everything."

call……

Dengzhou is not the focus of Daming's prevention, especially after the Japanese pirates subside.

Those Frangji people, who had been asking Emperor Hongzhi to summon him but failed, went all the way north, and unexpectedly... took this opportunity to show off their might.

Then... think again, that the Armada attacked Xinjin, is this another... a premeditated plan by Franji, from Dengzhou to Xinjin, this is a warning to Ming, the implication, could it be that Da Ming If you get involved in the ocean again, the consequences will be even heavier.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was miserable, and he said sharply, "Where is the thief ship?"

"It's already far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
