Edmond Dantès, who received an order from the emperor to summon him, was led by a eunuch to pass through countless palace gates and finally came to a palace surrounded by trees. Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest update!

He noticed that in the courtyard of this palace, most of the people who came in and out were officers in military uniforms. Obviously, he was not alone in the waiting to be received by the emperor.

Edmond Dantès happened to see several officers he knew, and he was about to say hello to them when one of the emperor's cronies, a eunuch, had already come out of the palace and called him in.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the man who was standing in front of him for a while, now called Demon Dantès. After a winter of recuperation, it is clear that Edmond Dantès has fully recovered.

And as he had done last year, Edmond Dantès had apparently learned to hide his hatred of the Dutch East India Company from others.

Although it was Peter who framed him. Natz, but the East India Company, for which he worked, not only acquiesced in Peter. Natz's behavior was also confirmed by sending an official letter to the shogunate.

It can be said that the company's betrayal dealt a heavy blow and made him transfer most of his anger to the company.

When the countrymen rescued him, he thought that with the support of His Majesty the Emperor, he could set up a pirate group against the company.

But it is clear that the idea of the Emperor bears no resemblance to that of the kings of Europe, and what this Emperor needs is not his ability to command ships in battle, but his past experience at sea.

With the appearance of the British, Portuguese, and Spaniards in the capital, he realized that he was not the only choice for the Chinese people. At this time, he had to restrain his little caution and contribute the experience he had gained from sailing at sea in the past.

It is clear to you that although the seafaring technology of the United Provinces of the Netherlands is gradually becoming a retire. But in the small world of Europe, any new knowledge or new technology can quickly spread to the whole of Europe.

After all, Europe is now an era of rising together, and any country that gives up the pursuit of new knowledge or new technology will inevitably be eliminated by the times.

For example, Portugal and Spain, which were once maritime empires, brutally persecuted pagans and non-religious scholars in their countries because of their adherence to Catholic doctrines, which directly led to the backwardness of these two countries in science and technology.

If the Emperor had recruited only one manpower, then his seafaring experience would be an irreplaceable treasure, and he would have counted on a fleet from the Emperor, rather than passing on his sailing experience to the cadets of the navy.

But the appearance of the British, the Portuguese, and the Spaniards immediately shattered his dreams. Needless to say, the Portuguese and Spaniards, although they were beginning to lag behind the Dutch in their current seafaring skills and naval warfare concepts, their more than 100 years of seafaring experience were not useless.

The British and the Dutch, in addition to being inferior in the construction of merchant ships, were not much worse than the Dutch republics in terms of experience in ocean navigation and sea battles.

The British Captain Andrew, who was no less familiar with maritime affairs, and in some places perhaps even surpassed.

You don't want the Englishman to be foolishly holding his sailing experience as a treasure when he talks about it.

Due to the confirmation letter from the Dutch East India Company to the shogunate, it was now difficult for him to return to the Netherlands for the time being. Even if he goes back, he is a criminal who has been identified by the company. In view of the huge power of the East India Company in the country, he, a former retired naval officer, is simply a little ant that can be pinched to death at any time.

You don't want to go back to China with all the hard work, only to be thrown into a prison in China. The Dutch East India Company's influence in Southeast Asia also made him have to accept the protection of the emperor, otherwise he would not be safe in Southeast Asia at all.

After recognizing his situation, Er accepted the new name given to him by Chongzhen, and honestly obeyed Chongzhen's orders and worked as an instructor at the Naval Officer Academy for several months.

And Chongzhen did not deceive him, and after a winter, Edmond Dantès was appointed captain of the training ship "Zheng He".

Although Chongzhen believes that the "Zheng He" is just a training ship, it is not a serious warship. But in the opinion of Edmond Dantès, the fully renovated "Zheng He" is already a pretty good warship.

After all, Europe has not yet formally distinguished between warships and merchant ships, although the British and Spaniards have built several large warships with three gun decks, but in addition to these large warships, other smaller warships are not much different from merchant ships in the way they are built.

In particular, the warships under the name of the Dutch East India Company were actually armed merchant ships. Except for a few warships equipped with more than 40 guns, the guns of other ships are similar to the "Zheng He", which is only about 20 guns.

In particular, the largest number of flute-shaped ships of the Dutch East India Company, flat-bottomed ships with round sterns and wide beams, were known for their large cargo capacity. Because of the small number of people required, a flute-shaped ship of about 300 tons, at least 12 people can drive it, so it has now become the main model of the company's commercial boats.

Although this kind of ship is well loaded, but the force is very thin, and the improved "Zheng He" has an absolute advantage on the sea surface, and comprehensively overwhelms the flute-shaped ship.

To be the captain of such a ship, Edmond Dantès felt that he was on a par with the Dutch East India Company, Peter. The day of Natz's reckoning is approaching another day.

Of course, like the "Zheng He", he admired the shipyard built in Dagukou, Tianjin. In Europe, the shipyard in Amsterdam is a place that amazes all of Europe.

In Amsterdam, a new ship is launched almost every 3 days, and the cost is 40-50% lower than that of the neighboring British.

Amsterdam's hundreds of shipyards make extensive use of wind, water and wood machines, so while the shipbuilding industry is developed, it often uses less than half the manpower of its neighbors.

Although he had been in the country for less than a year, Edmond Dantès had a general idea of what was going on in the country beneath his feet. The population of this country is almost the same as that of the whole of Europe.

As a result, the country's emperor was able to mobilize almost infinite manpower. Because of the country's large population, labor is extremely low.

In his opinion, His Majesty the Emperor only needed to recruit enough people to build a royal shipyard. But His Majesty the Emperor did not fail to do so, and the Tianjin shipyard made no less use of wind, water, animal power, and ironwood machines than he had seen in Amsterdam.

In fact, every time he went to the shipyard to inspect the renovation of the "Zheng He", he felt like he had returned to Amsterdam, except that the craftsmen here were replaced by Chinese.

The Tianjin shipyard and its affiliated factories have only a quarter of the number of shipbuilders in Amsterdam. But its production efficiency is not inferior to that of Dutch shipyards.

In some ways, Edmond Dantès thinks perhaps the Chinese are more efficient.

For example, the Chinese people referred to the British sailing ship and the Spanish sailing ship, and designed a kind of soft sailing ship without bow building, single-story stern building, flat deck, and length and width of 6:1. They intend to use these vessels for whaling, transportation and coastal defense.

This sailboat has a design displacement of between 300-400 tons, a width of 5.6 meters and a length of 33.6 meters. Before the construction, the Chinese people have calculated the materials and man-hours of the whole ship, and then deconstructed the timbers of different specifications according to the design drawings.

The labor of the whole ship is about 105,000 man-hours, and the Chinese people first divided the construction process of the whole ship into hundreds of processes, and then the shipbuilders divided them into different groups and built them separately according to the order of these processes.

After the construction organized by the Chinese people, it only takes 25 days to build such a ship. If multiple ships are to be built, then the flow construction method, named after His Majesty the Emperor, can be completed about every 15 days.

Even in Amsterdam, only a few large shipyards and the most skilled shipwrights can do this.

It can be said that if His Majesty the Emperor really wants to form a royal fleet. The Tianjin Shipyard alone, in a year's effort, can produce a powerful fleet of 20-30 warships.

And on the southern coast of the empire, there were countless small shipyards. If their production capacity is also taken into account, then almost in a short time, the country can become a maritime power.

The only reason for the formation of the Royal Navy fleet was probably the lack of captains who could command these ships and a large number of sailors who were willing to sail the ships in the depths of the ocean.

Having understood the predicament faced by His Majesty the Emperor, Edmond Dantès's surging desire for revenge was finally suppressed.

He had conceived of getting a few ships from the Emperor to intercept the Dutch East India Company's trading ships in the Asian seas.

It is better to endure for a while, wait for His Majesty the Emperor to build a fleet, and then take complete revenge on the Dutch East India Company, such as stealing the Spice Islands, which the company values most.

After receiving Edmond Dantès's salute, Zhu Youzhen said to him: "Edmond, I want to hear about your experience on this voyage, from beginning to end, tell me in detail, I have enough time to listen today..."
