Chapter 541: The Exile Mo Family

"This is the first ironclad warship successfully built by the lowly superintendent, please board the ship for inspection!"

Mo Huan stared at the huge treasure with excitement on his face, this was really the most proud warship he had ever built.

Liu Honggradually took five or six personal guards to follow Mo Huan to board the No. 1 ironclad ship, the interior of the cabin is made of camphor wood, pine, and fir wood, and the whole ship is divided into four layers of lower layers for ammunition, stones, grain and rice ballast, the second floor is for soldiers, the third floor is the main operation site, and the upper floor is the combat site.

"Lord Wang, Captain No. 1 Fu is twenty zhang, according to your wishes, the outside of the ship is covered with iron armor, which is really a clever move." Although Mo Huan's words are suspected of being sycophants, listening to the tone is Mo Huan's heartfelt words.

"The No. 1 Fu ship is equipped with 48 guns of various types, including 8 60-kilogram guns, 10 30-kilogram cannons, 12 18-kilogram cannons, 18 9-kilogram cannons, and 500 combat soldiers."

He had seen the main warship of the Franc Aircraft at the Bugaroo Shipyard in Macau, although the hull was too heavy due to its iron armor and the upper part could not be equipped with more guns, but the speed was compensated for by the steam engine.

Moreover, in terms of defensive power, the No. 1 Fu ship should be the most in the South China Seas at present, and the most important thing is that the No. 1 Fu ship powered by the steam engine will no longer be limited by the wind direction, which is the biggest advantage of the No. 1 Fu ship.

Liu Hong gradually began to inspect the steam unit at the bottom of the cabin, and went up through the soldiers' quarters to the main artillery compartment to personally investigate one by one.

There is a two-zhang square command room in the cabin at the top, and all the equipment around it is carved from Nanmu, and a whole rectangular sand table is placed in the middle, which is the combat command room.

During the whole process, Liu Hong gradually didn't say a word, but Mo Huan accompanied him to explain.

In the center of the deck stood the iconic iron chimney of steam power, and Liu Hong's heart stirred as he stroked the steel plate fixed to the cedar boat with rivets and welding.

"Lord, this ship has no name yet, please give it to the prince." Mo Huan knew that Liu Hong's heart was gradually excited, but he still calmly asked.

Even though he had been watching the ship be completed, when he boarded the ship, it was still difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart, let alone Liu Hong's first time.

The sea breeze was a little salty, the sun was dazzling but not hot, and Liu Hong gradually stood on the side of the ship and looked at the dozens of large and small warships on the sea.

"This ship will be called Shanhaiguan!" Liu Hong gradually looked at the sea, pondered for a long time, and finally opened his mouth.

Battleships and warships are not of the same magnitude, and those who dare to call them battleships are large ships with strong firepower, fast speed, and strong defense, and in the middle of the seventeenth century, there were not many people in the countries of Europa who could call them warships.

This is the first main ship built by Tianjin Bao Shipyard, and it is worthy of being called a warship in terms of defense and speed.

"Shanhaiguan is the first Xiongguan of the Ming Dynasty, and it has resisted the northern barbarians for a hundred years. Mo Huan then said.

"Mr. Mo has worked hard, this king will go back and ask for Mr. Mo's reward!"

The Daming Naval Division has been abandoned for a hundred years, and the chief shipbuilder Mo Huan of the Treasure Shipyard has made great contributions from scratch, and he deserves the honorific title of Mr. Liu Hong.

"Thank you for your love, the prince can trust me, a foreigner, and I will be loyal and wise to serve China." Mo Huan bowed and saluted, looking particularly solemn.

"Why does Mr. Mo claim to be a foreign colony? Do you have anything to do with the Mo family of the Spring and Autumn Period? Liu Hongjian has always felt that this Mo Huan is calm and does not like words, and the etiquette is not like Ming Etiquette.

The surname Mo of the Ming Dynasty is rare, and he claims to be a foreigner, and his words serve China instead of the Ming Dynasty, which makes him even more suspicious, and he can't help but think of the famous Mo Zhai.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of the hundred schools of thought in the late Spring and Autumn Period is not familiar with the Mo family, not to mention the Mo family's morality of both love and non-attack, but the Mo family's good at the art of the mechanism is enough to make it shine.

For 300 years since Mo Zhai, the descendants of the Mo family have always adhered to Mo Zhai's original ideals, relying on powerful techniques to roam weak countries that have been unjustly invaded and help them resist war.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu played, Liu Che issued an imperial decree, and then deposed the hundred schools, respected Confucianism, and the Mo family declined, and then suffered various false accusations, and had to go into exile.

"Daming Jinyiwei really lives up to his reputation, what the prince said is true, Mo is indeed a member of the Mo family, but I don't know if today's China can tolerate the Mo family?" Although Mo Huan was shocked in his heart, his face still did not change.

Seeing that his details had been ascertained, and knowing that the prince in front of him was in charge of Jinyiwei, the largest supervision agency in the Ming Dynasty, Mo Huan had to think so.

And the reason why he used such a tone was really sad in his heart.

Since the Western Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, the descendants of the Mo family were forced to go into exile, for more than 1,000 years, the Mo family has never given up returning to China, but they are not willing to give up the true inheritance of their ancestors, which is not tolerated by all dynasties.

In the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and both the people, businessmen, and children were respected and proud of learning Confucianism, and the Mohists had no place to stand.

For thousands of years, the Mo family has survived on such islands, and when he came to Mohuan, he was fortunate to have some improvement thanks to the knowledge of Limad, the governor of the little Francos in Nanyang.

Mo Huan had already thought about returning to the land of China, but a year ago, the prefect of Guangzhou came to invite, and secretly said that the king of Anguo County of Daming intended to revive the Daming water division and recruit craftsmen from all over the world.

Although Mo Huan lives far away in Macau, he has always paid attention to the land of China behind him, and Liu Hong, the king of Anguo County, has gradually eclectic style of acting makes the flame in Mo Huan's heart burn again.

"Mr. Mo is serious, although Jin Yiwei attaches great importance to the situation in Nanyang, but he has no intention of exploring the Mo family, which is really the king's speculation.

Mr. Mo does not need to be overly disturbed, in the eyes of this king, there is no difference between Confucianism and ink, and even more, compared with Confucianism, this king feels that the mechanical study of the Mo family is more conducive to the prosperity of China.

This king never promises lightly, but this king assures you that if this king is alive, the day of a hundred schools of thought will reappear, and the land of China is the habitat of all Han bloodlines, and Mr. Mo will be at ease. Liu Hong is rarely solemn, he has been in exile for thousands of years, and he still misses the old land, and he deserves his respect.

"If the dynasty does not give up, Mo Huan, the sixty-second generation head of the Mo family, swears here that the Mo family will do their best to dedicate their blood to the dynasty!" Mo Huan couldn't suppress the anger in his chest anymore, and actually lifted his robe and knelt down.

No one understands the pain of exiles, and no one understands the pain of a patriot who cherishes his homeland and returns to his homeland at all times.

"Mr. Mo, please hurry up, this king represents the Ming Dynasty and welcomes the descendants of the Mo family to return to the old land!" Liu Hong gradually bent down to help Mo Huan up, and said solemnly.

With the help of the Mo family, with his expertise in the engineering of organs and machinery, it must be another help to the Ming Dynasty, Liu Hong gradually gave up the outflow of talents, and immediately made a promise.

"Let's go, follow this king and go to see the 10,000 sailor soldiers newly recruited by the Ming Dynasty!" There are ships, there are soldiers, everything is within his expectations, and Liu Hong is gradually full of ambition at the moment.
