Chapter 829: Lu Guangzu

Tang Yi lived in the shipyard for three days, this is a place with a story, for Tang Yi, and for Daming, it is the same. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just came to this era, Tang Yi and his father lived here, and the first doujin was also obtained from the Tianfei Palace, and since then, Tang Yi has never worried about money. It's just that his little achievement, compared to the seven Western Oceans, is too far behind, once Zheng He set off from here, led a huge fleet, rampant across the ocean, Xuan Tianwei in a foreign land, Tang Yi in the first visit to the Tianfei Palace, once admired the stone tablet left by Zheng He.

More than ten years have passed, and with Tang Yi's efforts, the fleet that disappeared from the history books reappeared, and the Ming Dynasty once again stepped towards the ocean.

This time, it was no longer to promote the power of heaven, or to find Emperor Jianwen, but to open up the territory, annex the land, and seize the maritime interests, and finally embarked on the right path. The more this is the case, the more apprehensive Tang Yi becomes, for fear that because of a little mistake, he will ruin a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He needs to determine whether the current Ming Dynasty has the ability to compete with the Westerners on the sea, and whether he has the ability to defeat the Western fleet.

During the three days in the shipyard, he did not miss any link from top to bottom, asking every craftsman, and he had to find different people to confirm the same thing and confirm that there was nothing wrong.

The result surprised Tang Yi, and he was even a little overjoyed.

Liuhe Fort, the history of shipbuilding can be traced back to the Yongle Dynasty, the huge and advanced fortune ship comes from the hands of the craftsmen here, and now Liuhe Fort has changed back to the name of the year - Liuhe Town!

The scale of the shipyard is more than ten times larger than that year.

The shipyard can start construction at the same time, produce 20 large warships, and within a year, it can be completed, in other words, just one shipyard in Liuhe Town can launch a fleet in a year, which is already more than the Spanish ships in Luzon.

If there is a full mobilization, the speed can be doubled, and it can be completed in half a year.

And after many years of fighting against the Japanese Invaders, the craftsmen have developed a whole set of shipbuilding methods to ensure that they are strong and light enough, and can sail and fight even in adverse wind conditions.

The most experienced craftsman patted his chest and told Tang Yi that they had seen the merchant ships of the Westerners and dismantled them with their own hands, and they must admit that five years ago, their technology was indeed not as good as the Westerners, and now they are not afraid at all!

After seeing the shipyard, Tang Yi's confidence rose suddenly, and he went to the ordnance workshop again, speaking of which the ordnance workshop in Taicang was founded by Tang Yi back then, and the first gold was the gunpowder formula provided by Tang Yi, but later Tang Yi let go and handed it over to a few local businessmen in Taicang to operate.

In the past ten years, the ordnance workshop has developed to more than 3,000 craftsmen, not only producing gunpowder, but also guns and artillery.

Qi Jiajun's most precious self-made fire gun came from here, Tang Yi arrived, and was warmly welcomed by everyone, they told Tang Yi that the factory can produce 32-pound long-barreled heavy guns according to Western standards, and has been equipped with Daming's sailors, and they are still developing more powerful artillery, and the results will come out soon.

In comparison, although the Spanish mainland could produce similar, if not better, artillery, but the fleet in Manila was much worse than the mainland, and by the time the Spaniards got their best ships to the East, perhaps the battle for Luzon would have been over.

Moreover, when crossing the ocean, the ship will be full of marine life, and if it is not trimmed, the speed will be greatly reduced, and the combat power will plummet, so there is no need to worry at all.

Two days ago, Zhu Hai, the second eldest of the Zhu family, also came, he always didn't talk much, just silently accompanyed, but in the end, Zhu Hai couldn't help it.

"My lord, I think you think Xiyi is too powerful, they are nothing great!"

In a word, Tang Yi was suddenly stunned.

That's right, perhaps influenced by the memories of the previous life, when it comes to Westerners, it is the great powers, the ships are strong, and the guns are strong, and they are extremely strong!

But in fact, the Netherlands, known as the coachman of the sea, was not defeated in the hands of Zheng Chenggong, you must know that Zheng Chenggong at that time was just a military general under the ****** of Nanming, he could defeat the powerful Netherlands, which shows that the Westerners did not have much power in the East at all.

This is also a helpless thing, the advantage of distance, so that the Ming Dynasty to the South Seas, just like their own backyard, but the Westerners are far away in the sky, the whip is beyond reach, there is a hundred points of strength, to the East, not even ten points left. It's just this very little power that has occupied Nanyang, what an irony!

Tang Yi asked himself, after his promotion, using the ten years of anti-Japanese resistance, Daming's firearms and shipbuilding technology have been rapidly improved, compared with Europe in the same period, not bad at all.

The quality is passed, and the quantity is countless times that of Xiyi, no matter how this battle is calculated, the winning surface is huge.

After learning about his own strength, Tang Yi was not very excited, but annoyed and frustrated.

The former Ming Dynasty had the best opportunities, strong national strength, a large population, advanced military industry and shipbuilding, the people were industrious and willing to work, the glory of the Age of Discovery, and the glory of the empire on which the sun never set, should belong to the Ming Dynasty and China!

Just because of the conservative narrow-mindedness of the upper group, they are self-contained, do not want to forge ahead, and miss the opportunity, let some little ants, steal the best land, occupy rich resources, and after a few hundred years, grow into monsters, what a tragedy is this?

God has given me a chance to start over, how can I miss it again!

Tang Yi has more and more fixed opinions, this time going south, for himself, is definitely the most precious opportunity, no matter what, he must throw off his arms and do a big job!

Leaving Liuhe Town, Tang Yi did not go to Taicang's hometown to have a look, but rushed directly to Suzhou, this time in the eye of the storm of the southeast chaos.

Hearing that Tang Yi was coming, officials of all sizes in Suzhou, as long as they were panting, came, trembling at the gate of the city, watching from time to time.

Around noon, Tang Yi's carriage arrived at the north gate of Suzhou, and the prefect Lu Guangzu led his colleagues to meet Tang Yi.

"The lower official pays a visit to Lord Jinglue."

Tang Yi opened the curtain of the carriage, glanced out, snorted in his nose, didn't say a word, and directly asked his subordinates to urge the carriage, past everyone, and go straight to the line where he stayed.

The officials in Suzhou all blushed, and they all peeked at Lu Guangzu, which means that the prefect, you have an idea!

It's no wonder that they pushed it to Lu Guangzu, but this one does have some relationship with Tang Yi, the dead Jinyi Wei Governor Lu Bing is his clan uncle, Lu Guangzu is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 26 years, and he once had an excellent relationship with Tang Yi, like a brother, Tang Yi just came, and he showed him face, Lu Guangzu's face was gloomy, but he also knew that he was at a loss.

He stomped his foot, "It's done, you all disperse, Lord Tang wants to kill or chop, and I will bear it alone." As if pardoned, the officials turned around and slipped away with their tails between their legs.

Looking at the empty field, Lu Guangzu was angry, and scolded, "Shameless, shameless!" ”

scolded a lot, and he had no choice, Tang Yi had to pass that level no matter what. He knows Tang Yi better than others, he is a smooth donkey who eats soft and not hard, it is nothing more than relying on his old friendship for many years, giving up a face, and the face of his dead uncle, what can he do with himself!

Mustering up his courage, Lu Guangzu got into the sedan chair and hurried to the line where Tang Yi was staying.

Lu Guangzu's face collapsed suddenly, it's fatal, Ge Shouli's old man is not easy to deal with. Lu Guangzu really didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, the ugly daughter-in-law always wanted to see her in-laws, in case Lao Ge said two strange things casually, Tang Yi wouldn't pick up his skin.

"Go to Qincha Xingyuan!"

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!

Lu Guangzu rushed to Xingyuan with full of tragedy and determination, he didn't bring anyone, he ran to the outside of the living room alone, peeked, and saw a young red-robed official sitting inside, sitting in a precarious position, with a gloomy face, it was Tang Yi!

Lu Guangzu's legs are weak, he is not a tiger, what are you afraid of!

I kept cheering in my heart, and when I crossed the threshold, I still stumbled, stumbled in front of Tang Yi, and my knees weakened and I knelt on the ground.

"Your Excellency."

Tang Yi turned his head, didn't accept his attention, and said lightly: "You are Lu Taibao's nephew, and you are nine years earlier than me to enter the department, how can you be qualified to receive your gift!" ”

Lu Guangzu's face was even more ugly than crying, "Lord Tang, you are beating the face of an official, I really didn't handle the affairs of Suzhou, I am incompetent, I am guilty!" ”

"It's not that you're incompetent, but you don't want to deal with it at all!" Tang Yi slapped the table and said angrily: "Aren't you calling yourself a Wutai layman?" Why wear official uniforms, why don't you go to Wutai Mountain to become a monk, the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, chant and practice every day, maybe you can also cultivate an immortality? ”

Lu Guangzu was so embarrassed that his face was red, like a charcoal of fire, he beat an egg on it, stabbed it, and it was fried.

He doesn't have too many hobbies, and he is also cautious and cautious in doing things, and has a great sense of justice, but one thing is that he believes in the Shi family, is particularly pious, and also helped publish the "Five Lantern Huiyuan" by the monk Puji of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Tang Yi mentioned that Lu Guangzu was at a loss, "Lord Tang, don't hide it, my uncle has been a brocade guard for decades, and often admonishes the children of the Lu family to do more good deeds and accumulate virtues, so as not to be punished by the heavens, so ...... it."

"Phew, your uncle is confused, and you are confused too?" Tang Yi was not polite at all, if someone else said this, Lu Guangzu could fight with him, but Tang Yi could only listen.

"God can't protect your family, and the gods and Buddhas are not useful, you recite the scriptures for 10,000 years, should you raid the family and destroy the family, or copy the family and destroy the family, if the Buddha is really effective, the three martial arts and one sect will destroy the Buddha, why didn't you see the spirit and save the children and grandchildren? It shows that it is a deception and a deception! ”

Tang Yi took a breath, "Brother He, my words are not good, but I hope you understand that the future of the Lu family cannot be pinned on gods and Buddhas, but you must look overseas and have a larger pattern in order to find a way to live." (To be continued.) )
