"Fifty-gun warship?!" Moleno's hands trembled in shock, and the bones of the balls he had just picked up rolled to the ground.

No wonder he reacted in this way, you must know that the Dordrecht, the biggest reliance of the Helan Navy in the entire Far Eastern Seas, is just a warship equipped with forty-eight guns. That is to say, when the largest slipway of Longjiang Shipyard starts to be put into production, the Daming Naval Division will have the strength to wrestle with the Lambatavian fleet!

In fact, Zhu Linmiao is in the need of strategic secrecy, and he still has a lot of reservations about the introduction of Longjiang Shipyard.

The southernmost slipway was once built with a sealed boat, and if it were to be built instead of a Galen ship, it should be able to reach a displacement of more than 12,300 tons. Galen ships of this size were usually capable of carrying more than seventy cannons, which was a standard second-class battleship.

Moleno was at war with heaven and man at the moment. Although there was no previous intelligence that the Ming had the technical ability to build a fifty-gun battleship, they already had a thirty-four-gun battleship, and he would not be surprised if the Ming built a larger Galen.

Zhu Linmiao seemed to see what he was thinking, and said very timely: "Dongfan has been the sacred and inalienable territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, so I will never sit idly by and watch the Helan people take it for themselves!" As for Helan's forcible monopoly of Daming's maritime trade, we can't tolerate it! ”

He glanced at the huge and busy shipyard by the river, "The imperial court plans to invest millions of taels of silver in the shipyard and the construction of warships in the early stage, and will continue to increase investment in the future.

"The era of the Helan people who acted recklessly along the coast of the Ming Dynasty will soon be a thing of the past."

Zhu Linmiao put down his chopsticks, looked at the Spanish envoy with a torch in his eyes, and said word by word: "Even if the main fleet of Batavia comes to reinforce it, Da Ming will never retreat!" ”

Defeat the Batavia fleet?! Moleno's heart jumped, if he could pull up the power of the Hiran people in the East Indies, it would definitely deal a heavy blow to its national strength, and perhaps even the decline of the Spanish Army in the Netherlands could be reversed!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the East Indies referred to as present-day Indonesia.

However, he immediately remembered the biggest trouble of Daming, and said cautiously to Zhu Linmi: "Your Highness, with all due respect, your country's originally huge fleet has defected to the northern barbarians. I'm afraid you won't have the strength to deal with the Helan people until you deal with them......"

"It won't be long." Zhu Linmiao smiled and said, "I can reveal to you some information about Zheng Zhilong's fleet - the main force is two twenty-four-gun and seven fourteen-gun Galen warships. There were also sixty large junks, more than a hundred medium-sized junks, and the rest were inconspicuous sentinel ships, arsonist ships, and other small boats.

"And on my slipway alone, there are four warships with more than 20 guns, and more than a dozen ships with about 10 guns. Believe me, in a month or two at most, the Jianyu Sailor will be completely destroyed! ”

Moleno made a quick calculation in his mind that each Galen warship was usually capable of dealing with ten to fifteen junk ships of similar size—the total number of cannons could be understood—according to this ratio, by the time these warships in the Ming shipyard were put into service, they had indeed surpassed the barbarians' sea power.

However, the Ming fleet did not have an overwhelming advantage, and he said secretly, I don't know if this auxiliary king has other confidence, or is it just a little bragging. However, according to the Ming Kingdom's current investment in the navy, just like this Longjiang shipyard, even if they can't defeat the barbarian fleet within a month or two, at most in half a year, they will be able to build enough warships to easily crush the opponent.

Zhu Linmiao continued: "Once the Jianyu Naval Division is defeated, my fleet will go all out to deal with the Helan people in Dongfan. He leaned forward slightly and looked at Moreno, "At that time, I wonder if Manila is interested in working with me?" ”

Moleno was stunned and hurriedly said, "Well, let's wait until your country solves the fleet in the north." But I will tell you what you mean, Your Excellency. ”

Speaking of this, he leaned back in his chair and changed his relaxed expression, "According to my personal opinion, the strength of your country and the Manila fleet can completely fight Batavia. We can even convince the Francois that they must be happy to see the Helan people suffer. ”

"Very good." Zhu Lin smiled and bowed, and said, "In order for our two countries to cooperate more closely and efficiently, I suggest that Ming and Israel build embassies and send ambassadors to each other. ”

"Embassy? What is it? ”

"It's a diplomatic mission stationed in the other side's territory." Zhu Linmiao explained in detail the embassy, an extremely common department in later generations, "Mr. Special Envoy does not have to run around Daming and Manila. ”

At this time, the global maritime trade has been basically controlled by the Helan people, and Zhu Linmiao knows very well that the main competitor of the Ming Dynasty in the world in the future will inevitably be the Helan people.

And Spain, an empire that is declining, is "seriously ill", but it is difficult to have a long time with the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Spain and the Netherlands were full of contradictions both on land and at sea, so it was a diplomatic choice to unite with Spain to deal with Helan.

"I will tell His Excellency the Governor to convey this to His Majesty the King."

After the dinner in the Jiang Pavilion was over, Zhu Linmiao took Moleno to the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau for a spin in order to enhance the confidence of the "allies". At this time, the Ganzhou Ordnance Bureau has largely moved here, and the process standardization has been completed for the most part, so whether it is the technical level or the scale, Moleno is really shocked.

By the time Zhu Linmiao sent the Spaniards back to Yingtianfu, it was almost dinner time.

Seeing that he was back, the steward of the palace hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Commander Gu Yanwu Gu has been waiting for you for a long time, and you are in the side hall at this time. ”

Zhu Linmiao guessed that something big should have happened. Sure enough, after Gu Yanwu saw the salute, he immediately held a secret report and said with a happy face: "Your Highness, this is Governor Mu who ordered his subordinates to send it back from outside the Saiwai. Teng Jisi, no, it was the king of Chahar who led his troops to a decisive battle with Abnai in the area of Ulan Hada, breaking the enemy army and capturing more than 3,000 people.

"Now that Abnay is fleeing west with the remnants, most of the central and western Chahars have expressed their submission to His Royal Highness the King of Chahar."

Zhu Linmiao nodded slightly, he was not surprised by this result at all. The Sunit Department experienced the previous great victory against Duoduo, and the morale was high, coupled with a large number of firearms, and the continuous logistical support of the Liang family, if it could not win quickly, then Tengjisi would be too wasteful.

He unfolded Muyun's secret report and took a closer look, and the process was basically close to Gu Yanwu's description, but it was mentioned at the end that Teng Jisi was a little undecided at this time about whether to pursue Abnai in the west or to go east to Horqin.

Gu Yanwu waited for him to put away the secret report, and then continued: "Your Highness, there is another secret report from Sichuan Ma Yue, he has led his troops to cross Wushan, and he can cross Badong along the Yangtze River and go straight to Yuezhou at any time!" ”
