After staying in Pengzhou City for three days, Xiao Ming returned to Qingzhou.

This time he came to Pengzhou just to see this Liu Bang's Longxing land, like many people, he also has a big Han dream in his heart, the iron blood and glory of the past make him at the peak of power every time he dreams back at midnight, he also wants such a prosperous world.

It's just that he also understands that there is still a long way to go, and now the domestic problems in Dayu are in a mess, and the expansion of territory is still far away, but the victory in the battle of Pengzhou gave him hope.

Now he has made up his mind to solve the problem of the number of vassal kings in the country first, and only by mastering the unified Dayu State can he have the ability to break into the jungle of the Age of Discovery.

Originally, he was going to stay in Pengzhou City for a week, but another news came, and he had to go back early.

According to this year's shipbuilding plan, a few days ago, the Dengzhou Shipyard officially delivered 24 warships to the fleet, and with the addition of the previous 15 warships, the Dengzhou Army now has 39 warships.

For him, these 39 warships will truly ensure that he is unimpeded in the East Asian seas and can further ensure the safety of shipping lanes.

When he returned to Qingzhou this time, he naturally did not want to observe the battleship, but for the naval cadets of the Bowen College who were preparing to rush to Dengzhou.

The battleship is dead, but the naval cadets are alive, and the weapons can only exert their greatest power in the hands of people, so before each batch of naval cadets boarded the ship, Xiao Ming would come to Bowen College to meet them in person.

First, he wanted to make a familiar face and strengthen his presence, and secondly, to increase the loyalty of the soldiers.

After all, once the battleship enters the sea, it is like a wild horse on the loose, and in the Age of Discovery, there were many regular warships that were eventually taken by the captain to the pirate road, and this is not what he wants to see.

"Your Highness, there are a total of one hundred and sixty or seventy cadets on the ship this time."

Yue Yun also rushed back from Dengzhou for this matter, looking at the energetic students, he couldn't close his mouth happily, for him there was no such thing as expanding the size of the fleet.

All the cadets who are about to rush to Dengzhou stand in three rows, and these cadets will play extremely important roles on the battleship, captain, first mate, second officer, naval navigator, boatswain and other management positions.

As for the ordinary sailors and gunners on the battleship, they did not need to study specifically at the Bowen Academy, but only needed to be recruited and trained in Dengzhou.

"From today onwards, you will become a member of the navy, but this does not mean that you are qualified now, for this king, only soldiers who can protect the sea frontier of the Great Chongqing Kingdom and protect the routes of the Great Chongqing Kingdom can be qualified to be called real naval soldiers, and the next is the time to test you." Xiao Ming said loudly.

"Yes, Your Highness!" A group of naval cadets shouted in unison.

Xiao Ming nodded, the current soldiers are becoming more and more like modern soldiers.

Yue Yun smiled and looked at Xiao Ming's words, and after Xiao Ming finished speaking, he took a group of naval cadets and said to Xiao Ming: "My glory is loyalty!"

Whether it is the Bowen Academy or the army, the loyalty of soldiers and officials to Xiao Ming is the first priority, and it is because of this that Xiao Ming has made this sentence the colloquial language of generals and soldiers, which is a subtle hint that makes loyalty the instinct of every general and soldier.

After seeing the cadets who came on the ship one by one, Xiao Ming asked the naval cadets to disband, and then Yue Yun said to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness must have known about the matter of Tongzhou Port, King Wei cut off the supply of the port, which made it difficult for the battleship to cruise. ”

Xiao Ming nodded lightly, "This matter King Wei's envoy and this king said very clearly, since he doesn't give it, we will take it, after you go back this time, you will lead the fleet to bombard Tongzhou, and at the same time cooperate with the Dengzhou army to take Tongzhou City." ”

"Your Highness, the last general has long wanted to do this, why should we be idle from King Wei." Yue Yun said with a smile.

Xiao Ming sighed and said: "In the past, it was to maintain harmony on the surface, but now it is to completely tear your face, by the way, this is one thing to take Tongzhou, and the most important thing you should not forget, keep an eye on Goguryeo." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Yue Yun bowed and said.

After telling Yue Yun two things, Xiao Ming walked towards the palace, and along the way, he met from time to time the children of powerful people who could only be seen in Chang'an.

Since the Chang'an Rebellion, more and more Chang'an nobles have fled to Qingzhou, and it is precisely for this reason that the children of merchants and powerful people in Qingzhou have increased suddenly.

But now these powerful children are just phoenixes that have lost their hair and are not as good as chickens, they used to rely on Chang'an City, but when they arrived in Qingzhou, they suddenly became alone.

At first, they were uncomfortable, but soon they became businessmen in order to survive.

Even Princess Pingyang is now doing business honestly in the Chamber of Commerce, but with the name of the princess, her business is getting bigger and bigger.

During this time, she was building a white sugar workshop and opening a dyeing workshop, but she was very busy.

Xiao Ming didn't expect that the Chang'an Rebellion would bring such a prosperous scene to Qingzhou, because even if these magnates fled, they brought a large amount of gold and silver, and the silver spent in Qingzhou greatly promoted local consumption.

According to Pang Yukun, even the price of houses in Qingzhou City has more than tripled.

Thinking all the way, Xiao Ming returned to the palace, and at this time, Fei Yue'er and Concubine Zhen were laughing in the pavilion in front of the pond.

After the initial grief, Concubine Zhen's mood gradually recovered, which made Xiao Ming breathe a sigh of relief, although Concubine Zhen was only the mother of the predecessor Xiao Ming, but since he came here, she has been sincerely helping Xiao Ming.

For such a kind and loving woman, he maintained the most basic respect.

Glancing at the two, Xiao Ming didn't bother them, but went directly to his study.

The war continues, but the development of science and technology cannot be stagnant, after all, the current level of science and technology in Qingzhou is not comprehensive enough, so as long as he is free, he will go back to writing scientific and technological materials.

With the advent of steam engines, more and more industries need steel, and the original crucible ironmaking has no way to meet the current demand.

In the past, Xiao Ming did not implement this technology because there was no qualified oxygen blowing equipment before the advent of the steam engine, but now with the steam engine, he can use the steam engine to solve this difficulty.

When he arrived in the study, Xiao Ming picked up his pen and began to describe the unfinished part, which he had completed a few days ago, and now there was still a quarter of the drawings left.

Once these drawings are completed, they can be delivered to the steel mill to produce steelmaking equipment, and once the converter steelmaking technology is breakthrough, the quality of Qingzhou's steel will skyrocket, and the barrel will also be able to withstand higher strength gunpowder.
