And to put it mildly, the last time Zhu Linmiao saw these two warships, they had only finished laying their ribs, and they had already been launched at this time, which was already extremely fast, and it should not be too demanding.

But Zhu Linmiao still couldn't suppress his "desire" for the third-class battleship, and asked: "Does Mr. Song know how the progress of the 800-ton battleship in Yongbeili is?" ”

Song Yingxing frowned slightly, "Back to Your Highness, that warship is too huge, don't say that ordinary craftsmen, even Pan Mingzhong, who came from the South Seas, has never built it before." I can only build it while groping, and there have been some problems. For example, the thickness of the keel was not enough before, and it had already been deformed once on the slipway, so it had to be dismantled and rebuilt.

"At present, preparations are being made to lay the second-story gun deck, and according to Pan Mingzhong, it will take three or four months to complete, to say the least."

Sure enough, nothing can violate the objective law of development, Zhu Linmiao sighed in his heart, especially in terms of technology, even if he has the guidance of a latecomer, it is difficult to carry out the "Great Leap Forward".

But three or four months is not too long. He was immediately relieved, and just waited for this "giant ship" to be launched, and the Daming sailors had the qualifications to "compete in the same field" with the European maritime powers in Asian waters.

At that time, the era of exploration that belongs to Daming's own will officially kick off!

Song Yingxing didn't know what the auxiliary king was thinking, so he continued to please: "Your Highness, in addition to these two big ships, there are also seven 'soft sailing ships' of 70 to 100 tons that have been built, and most of them are still in Yongbeili, waiting to go north with the two big ships. Two more are being installed with cannons. ”

"Seven boats?" Zhu Linmiao was stunned for a moment, in fact, more than seventy tons were no longer considered "small boats", he hurriedly asked, "The slipways of Yongbeili and Nan'an are all main warships, where are these small boats made?" ”

"Back to His Highness, Pang Zhu, according to His Royal Highness's previous instructions, recruited shipyards in the people, and sent craftsmen to guide and pay for drawings, so that they could build small boats.

"I didn't expect these private shipyards to learn very quickly, and the speed of construction is not slow. There is even a company that has improved on the basis of the original pattern to build a warship of more than 100 tons, which can accommodate two nine-pounder guns. ”

These "private" shipyards are really motivated. Zhu Linmiao immediately thought that these shipyards "take orders", recruit craftsmen to complete orders, and engage in technological innovation, isn't this exactly the germ of capitalism that he expects?

In time, perhaps a powerful "military industrial enterprise" can be developed to support the Daming Water Division.

"That's a good thing." He said to Song Yingxing, "In the future, as long as the technology is not the top, you can also hand over larger warships to the private sector, and the price can also increase slightly."

"The fleet needed by the Ming Dynasty will be very large, and it is inevitable that the imperial court's own shipyard will not be able to do it. However, you should also keep an eye on them and beware of collaborating with the enemy. ”

"Yes, the students will do it as soon as they get back."

With these six small boats, the Daming Naval Division had a greater grasp of intercepting the Qing fleet near the mouth of the Yangtze River. Zhu Linmiao beckoned Shi Lin again: "Order Zhu Chenggong to immediately lead his troops south and choose a place to join the newly built warship." ”

"Yes!"

The next day, in a deserted house on the southeastern outskirts of Nanjing.

Zhu Linmiao was testing Yao Qisheng's experimental equipment one by one, when an officer from the patrol camp drove his horse and said, "My lord, there is an immortal master who calls himself Bian Sai who asks to see him. ”

How did Bian Yujing come to the barracks? Zhu Linmiao rubbed her sore shoulders, and said in her heart that she had been busy for most of the day, and it was time to go back to the camp, so she said to the visitor: "Let her wait in my big tent for a while, and I will come later." ”

Since Yang Zhihe was killed, Zhu Linmiao considered that Bian Yujing's oath had been broken, and there was no possibility of seeking death, so he asked people to go to Zhenjiang to pick her up and return to Longhu Mountain, but she didn't expect her to come here first.

The summons soldiers left, and Zhu Linmiao pointed out a few unsuitable experimental tools to Yao Qisheng and others, and asked them to replace them quickly, and then returned to the Ming army camp in Shogunate Mountain with his own soldiers.

Bian Yujing was already waiting outside the camp, his complexion was much better than before, and there was even a smile in the corner of his eyes.

When she saw Zhu Linmiao coming, she immediately stepped forward to salute, "Poor Dao to meet His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King." Congratulations to His Royal Highness, Jurong has broken the Tartars, and the prosperity of the society will be at the moment. ”

Zhu Linmiao hurriedly said a few polite words and let her into the big tent, "I am busy with military affairs, so I asked Miss Bian to go back to Jiangxi, but I didn't have time to send her in person." ”

Bian Yujing is also a smart person, she was "escorted" to Zhenjiang by the soldiers that day, and then many servants came to keep an eye on her at all times, and the personal maid of General Zhen of the broken camp came to take care of her. She immediately understood that this was His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King who wanted to save herself, and she was already very grateful in her heart.

The day before yesterday, a soldier sent by the auxiliary king came to report that Yang Zhihe had been ambushed by the national thief, and she no longer had to worry about breaking her oath. In other words, his life has been saved by His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King.

She had already reported her will to die, and at this time, it was like a lifetime away from death, and she was very grateful for the great grace of the auxiliary king, so she insisted on coming to the barracks to ask for a meeting.

After entering the account, Zhu Linmiao asked people to see the tea, and asked Bian Yujing: "I don't know what happened to Miss Bian here?" ”

Bian Yujing said: "I don't thank you for your kindness. Poor Dao knew that it would be difficult to repay His Highness's great kindness no matter what, but after thinking about it again and again, he still felt that he should do something for His Highness. ”

Zhu Linmiao was about to refuse, so she answered: "Poor and talented, although I have not obtained the true meaning of the master's great arts, I have also learned a little about the fur. Poor Dao is willing to sincerely pray for His Royal Highness for three years in Yeshan Daoyuan. ”

Longhu Mountain is a Taoist god, Zhang Tianshi is a true lineage, and Bian Yujing is a direct disciple of Longhu Mountain. There are few people in the Ming Dynasty who are not superstitious, if they change others and have to pray for the blessings of Zhang Tianshi's disciples, it is definitely a great thing that cannot be sought.

It's just that Zhu Linmiao, a later generation who has been influenced by natural science knowledge since childhood, doesn't think so.

"This, Miss Bian doesn't have to be like this, in fact, I'm just a gesture."

"Your Highness doesn't have to refuse, this is the only way to do your best."

Zhu Linmiao persuaded repeatedly, but Bian Yujing was very persistent.

How uncomfortable is it for a big living person to be bored in a Taoist temple for three years? Zhu Linmiao remembered that he had heard that Bian Yujing's poems and songs were excellent, and it was not a waste of talent to recite on Yeshan all day long? Since she must thank her, she must also use good steel on the blade.

Thinking of this, he looked at Bian Yujing and said, "If Miss Bian wants to do something for me, she doesn't have to do it in the mountains. ”

Bian Yujing was stunned, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"At present, the initial decision in northern Zhejiang is the time for the Propaganda Department to recruit and open the mission office." Zhu Linmiao smiled and said, "I know that Miss Bian is very good at poetry and songs, and she can join the Propaganda Department as the chief writer." Although it is only a low-level position, it is also a contribution to the country. I don't know what you think? ”
