Like the blood remnant sun dyed Dengzhou City red, a faint twilight began to fall at this time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After Yang Chengye thanked him, he excitedly led everyone to the mansion, where a banquet had been set up and everyone was waiting.

After a six-hour train ride and a lot of time in the city, both the ministers and the concubines were hungry.

Everyone sat down and couldn't help but face the fragrant seafood, and after Xiao Ming spoke and opened the banquet, the atmosphere suddenly became intense.

Xiao Yi, the little guy, immediately picked up the king crab on the table and shouted, "Father, you see, this crab is really big, I have never seen such a big crab before." ”

Fei Yue'er was also a little surprised when she looked at the king crab on her table at this time, and he said: "Your Majesty, we have eaten a lot of seafood in Dengzhou, but this is the first time we have seen such a big king crab." ”

Yang Chengye said with a smile: "Niangniang, there is no such crab in the sea area of Dengzhou, the crab on the table this time was caught by the fishermen in the sea area north of the Japanese country, if it wasn't for the emperor who taught the edible seafood in the sea to the local officials, they really didn't dare to bring it back at that time." ”

"The North of the Wa Kingdom?" Xiao Ming revealed a dark color of interest, this king crab is red all over, and it is a typical Hokkaido king crab of contemporary times.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in the past, fishermen did not dare to leave Dengzhou to go to the waters of the Wa Kingdom to fish, but since the royal order to start a war with the Wa Kingdom, General Yue surrounded and suppressed the warships of the Wa Kingdom in the sea, and now the sea area between the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo is very safe, and some bold fishermen went out to sea to fish in the waters of the Wa State at this time, after all, now the tow fishing technology allows the fishermen to fish in the open sea, so that they can get more."

Xiao Ming has always been a supporter of marine fishing, and in this era, he rarely realizes the importance of marine resources, but he does.

Compared with the depletion of marine fishery resources in the 21st century, the fishery resources of this era are amazingly abundant, and when Xiao Ming traveled from Jinling to the Kingdom of Sanshan a few years ago, he could often see large schools of fish along the way.

In addition, now that the navy of the Great Chongqing State has reached an initial scale, he can completely squeeze the fishery resources of the Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom, and give this benefit to the people of the Great Chongqing State.

"Well, yes, fishing is an important industry for Dengzhou, you not only have to develop large fishing boats, but also encourage fishermen to fish in the open sea, the navy of Dayu is the fishing ground of Dayu country, if they can't do it, you won't give them canned fish to eat." Xiao Ming said with a smile, he didn't care about more fishing boats, because the fishing power of this era is very far from modern times, and the entire Dengzhou is estimated to be inferior to a modern fishing village.

"Hahaha......" The officials laughed because of Xiao Ming's joke.

Skipping this topic, everyone officially ate.

While eating seafood, they chatted about the details of Dengzhou's development, and it was not until seven o'clock in the evening that everyone dispersed.

The next day, Xiao Ming left Xiao Yi, Fei Yue'er and others in Dengzhou City, and he and Yang Chengye went to the shipyard in Dengzhou.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest warship."

Zhang Liang pointed to the twenty brand-new warships in the military port, all of which were about the same size as the third-class battleships, except that three chimneys had been erected in the middle of the mast.

"Do these ships use the latest triple-expansion steam engines?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's why these battleships need three chimneys, because battleships need more boilers to burn coal, and relatively speaking, the power of these battleships is much higher than that of a battleship with one chimney." Zhang Liang explained.

Xiao Ming nodded, he naturally understood this truth, this time he reached a deal with the Netherlands, and he had to provide escort on Brandon's return to the Netherlands.

So he had to draw ten warships to the Netherlands.

As for these ten warships, he is not going to use steam warships, but still uses sail warships, and these more than 20 steam warships will make up for the vacancy of these ten warships, and will be responsible for encircling the Japanese state.

The reason why he was to encircle the Wa State instead of choosing to go to war with the Wa State was that Xiao Ming had his own considerations, and now that the sea was in his hands, the Wa State was unable to invade the Great Yu State at all.

In this way, he could concentrate on realizing the reunification of the country within Chongqing.

After observing the new warship, Xiao Ming had a plan in his heart, and then he and Zhang Liang went to the first shipyard and the second shipyard.

Compared with the pure manual work of the past, the shipyard is now full of the roar of machines, and the existence of these machines has greatly accelerated the speed of shipbuilding.

"Zhang Liang, I once told you about the ironclad battleship, do you think with the current shipyard's capabilities, can you add a layer of ironclad to the outer layer of the battleship?" Xiao Ming asked.

Zhang Liang said: "This is okay, because the power of the steam engine gives the shipyard the ability to lift, but the production of this iron armor still needs to be done by the steel factory." “

Xiao Ming nodded, in the battle of Busan City, the shells may be lost, so it is necessary to do a good job in naval warfare and enter the era of flowering bombs, after all, Europe's science and technology have been advancing, and the industrial capacity is also improving because of the steam engine, and this relatively primitive fuse can still be imitated after a year or two.

So he had to build flowering shells to resist such shells now, and maintain an advantage in naval warfare, because for him, in order to easily defeat Europe and seize and occupy their colonies, he had to raise the level of industry to at least the level of World War I.

"I'll supervise the ironclad thing, you just need to add a layer of ironclad to the battleship." Xiao Ming said that Zhang Liang's son has been studying shipbuilding in Qingzhou, and now he has returned to Dengzhou, and this technology should not be a problem for them.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, the development of technology in the Great Chongqing Kingdom is too fast, often a technology has just been mastered, and a new technology begins to be used.

It is also not easy to be responsible for the construction of warships in the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

This time, Xiao Ming mainly explained Zhang Liang's matter, and after inspecting the shipyard for a day, he and Yang Chengye returned to Dengzhou.

The next day, he and a group of officials came to Dengzhou Station again, and they were to take a locomotive back to Dayu.

"Father, Dengzhou is so fun, can I come again in the future?" Xiao Yi looked out of the car window with some reluctance, and while he was on patrol, the little guy watched the sea under the leadership of Fei Yueer and others, and ate a lot of good things.

Rubbing Xiao Yi's head, he said, "Of course you can, but you have to study hard." ”

Xiao Yi nodded obediently when he heard this.

"Woo ......"

The familiar whistle sounded again, and the locomotive began to accelerate slowly, and six hours later, the locomotive arrived in Qingzhou.

Getting off the locomotive, the officials were filled with emotion, they now finally realized the terrible transportation capacity of the steam locomotive, and with the railway, factories would bloom all over the country without being limited by resources.

At this time, Xiao Ming, who got off the locomotive, turned his eyes to the south, and the Civil War in Dayu should also begin.
