I am the king of the dead

Chapter 676 The firepower is still insufficient
Officials of the Ming Dynasty, in the officialdom, knew the first rule of the Ming Dynasty as an official: if the emperor does not move, I will not move; if the emperor moves, I will be terrified.

This is the inevitable result of the long-term rectification of the administration of officials.

In comparison, it seems very reckless to be a powerful businessman and rich man.

Yu Qian accompanied His Majesty to visit the entire launching ceremony. After launching, the Daming Navy, the inspector of the Songjiang Inspection Department, and Fandu commanded Ma Yun, led a group of sailors, and Lei Juntai, the general office of the Songjiang Shipyard, handed over two ships. treasure ship.

"Your Majesty, please give the treasure ship a name." Lei Juntai and Ma Yun bowed their heads and said.

These two treasure ships are a new starting point for the Ming Dynasty's sea power, and should be named by His Majesty Zhu Zhu.

The Ministry of Rites had long drawn up several names for these two treasure ships, and Zhu Qiyu had also chosen them for a long time before finally deciding on two names.

The naming method of the treasure ship was agreed by the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty to be the same as the naming method of the Marquis.

For example, the Wuqing of Wuqing Hou Shiheng is Wuqing County, the Wen'an of Wen'an Hou Yuqian is Wen'an County, and the Changping of Changping Hou Yang Jun is Changping County.

The nomenclature of the treasure ships refers to the marquis etiquette system.

But this incident happened unexpectedly.

To be precise, after Fei Yiying went south, he received invitations from business owners from various places in Huguang, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Fengyang.

They are here to pay the charity.

The two treasure ships are expensive to build, and the merchants from all over the country are willing to spend the money for the shipbuilding, but only hope that the name of the ship can be set in their province.

What good would it do?

In fact, the source of this is still in Zhu Qiyu's body.

The last time His Majesty personally conquered the rebellion, Nanya was demolished to pieces, and the provincial capital of Jiangsu was actually Xuzhou, and the capital of Fengyang Province was not Fengyang but Luzhou.

The bulk Jiangsu and bulk Fengyang came into being.

In order to create a stronger centripetal force, they all hope that when His Majesty names the name, he can name it in his own province.

However, the ideas of Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and Huguang Chamber of Commerce are false.

At sea, the household registration of the strongest warship in the world is in its own province, which is not only a matter of face for Zhejiang merchants, but also a matter of safety.

Of course Fei Yiying didn't dare to make a decision, so he found His Majesty to report, Zhu Qiyu looked at the name that had been confirmed in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Is there such a good thing?

The cost of one of these two treasure ships is more than [-] silver coins. No matter how rich Zhu Qiyu is, this is also [-] silver coins. If someone is willing to pay for it, Zhu Qiyu is naturally happy.

"Haining, Lujiang." Zhu Qiyu wrote two names and handed them to Lei Juntai.

This is the name that has been chosen long ago.

Haining is located in Hangzhou Bay, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, while Lujiang River is located on the bank of Lujiang River, Luzhou Prefecture, Fengyang.

The Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and the Fengyang Chamber of Commerce had already handed over the money to Wang Hu, a doctor in the household department.

Then Zhu Qiyu personally handed over the two ivory flags that had been embroidered long ago to Ma Yun, officially completing the delivery of the two treasure ships.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the busy people on the two treasure ships with a smile on his face.

"Li Binyan, you have made great achievements in shipbuilding in Songjiang Mansion. I will give you a medal of extraordinary achievements, and you will continue to work hard." Zhu Qiyu took the medal of extraordinary achievements from Xing'an, and hung it on Li Binyan's chest, shining golden.

The Qigong brand gift package will also be handed over to Li Binyan afterwards.

Li Binyan grinned all over his mouth, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

Zhu Qiyu continued: "The three pond boatmen who built the treasure ship will each receive a merit card and fifty silver coins."

"The shipyard has meritorious service in building ships, and everyone has meritorious service. Each person will be given a Qili card and ten silver coins."

There were more than a thousand boatmen who built the treasure ship, and each person had fifty silver coins, which was an expenditure of fifty thousand silver coins. Zhu Qiyu's reward this time was half a treasure ship.

It hasn't been a day or two since Zhu Qiyu, a craftsman of rewards, is extraordinarily generous, and everyone is used to it.

The internal money is His Majesty's private treasury, His Majesty used his own money to reward, even Qing Liu could only secretly grit his teeth and say that the faint king who competes with the people for profit is too rich.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Everyone in the Songjiang Shipyard was rewarded, and even the craftsmen who did not participate in the construction of the treasure ship got a Qili card.

Accompanied by Li Binyan, Lei Juntai and others, Zhu Qiyu visited the entire shipyard. At this time, Songjiang Shipyard had three ponds for treasure ships, thirteen ponds for three-masted large ships, and nearly a hundred small boats under a thousand materials. boat pond.

There are so many boat ponds that it is almost impossible to see the end at a glance. There are busy figures everywhere, and the shouts mixed with the sea breeze come and go. A car pulls wood into the shipyard, and it is a prosperous scene.

At the beginning of the Winter Prelude, there was a shortage of silver, and the country of Wa had silver. If they wanted to transport the silver back, they had to build ships.

"Governor Li has lived up to my expectations." Zhu Qiyu said with satisfaction looking at the shipyard full of boatmen.

The scale of this shipyard has surpassed the original Longjiang Shipyard.

"Some time ago, there was a fire at the Songjiang Shipyard, and I am ashamed of your Majesty's praise." Li Binyan's mood can be described as mixed. If there was no fire at the shipyard, Li Binyan would naturally be extremely proud at this time.

Burning a treasure ship not only hurts His Majesty's heart, but also the craftsmen of the shipyard. It is a treasure ship that they have worked day and night for four years to build.

Zhu Qiyu didn't answer this question, but talked about another matter, he asked calmly: "Governor Li, I remember you said you were going to the horizon, do you still plan to go now?"

"Governor Li, you are the governor of Songjiang. You should understand the significance of Songjiang Mansion to me and to Daming. I don't want you to go to sea."

Li Binyan was stunned for a while, then bowed his head and said, "I obey the order."

Li Binyan really wants to go to the sky to see, he wants to use sailing to prove that the earth is a ball, but he is really busy, and Songjiang Mansion needs him.

Going to the sky to see is his personal pursuit, but His Majesty needs him in Songjiang Mansion, so he can't go anywhere.

The Nine Provinces Department Store on the thoroughfare of Songjiang Prefecture, how important is this location?

"I didn't expect that Songjiang Mansion would develop so fast. I thought that after everything in Songjiang Mansion was on the right track, I would let you take a boat to see the sky." Zhu Qiyu said in a low voice while looking at the vast sea. .

The corner of Li Binyan's mouth twitched and he said: "My minister...Fan Wenzheng said: If you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler; you will worry about the world's worries first, and then you will be happy with the world's happiness."

"The minister is deeply favored by the emperor, and he lives at the height of the temple, so he should put public affairs before private affairs."

"The minister has someone to recommend."

Zhu Qiyu guessed that Li Binyan would not abolish the public due to personal reasons. Hearing that Li Binyan was recommended by someone, Zhu Qiyu also smiled and asked: "I also have someone in my heart. I don't know if it is the same person."

"The person I want to recommend is Commander Tang Xing Tang, and Tang Xing returned to Songjiang Mansion with me." Li Binyan said helplessly.

"That's what I mean too." Zhu Qiyu nodded, sailing around the world, is there a more suitable candidate than the most free man?

Li Binyan was a little uneasy, Tang Xing had borrowed his name in the Wa Kingdom, assumed the identity of Mr. Li, and even kidnapped the Imperial Secretary of the Muromachi Shogunate as a concubine.

This Tang Xing went out to sea for him again, and went to the sky to see, it was really good that he took up all the good things!
"Where is Commander Tang now? I haven't seen the current contestant, she is also a strange woman." Zhu Qiyu asked curiously.

Li Binyan looked around and said in a low voice, "It's on Tanhu Island."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, Tang Xing was actually on Tanhu Island, which he did not expect at all, because Sun Xianzong and a group of Japanese pirates were also on Tanhu Island.

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Where is that participating in the game?"

"It's also on Tanhu Island... Commander Tang's Japanese language is not very authentic, but today's entrants are Japanese, and this time there are Japanese pirates, so this entrant also went." Li Binyan said cautiously.

His Majesty asked Tang Xing to marry this woman, Jin Shenju, in order to tie Tang Xing and prevent the third prince and his grandfather from taking risks.

This is good, not only was it not tied, but the two of them cooperated with each other and went on an adventure together...

Only then did Zhu Qiyu come back and say, "It turns out that the information about Sun Xianzong was collected and sent back by Commander Tang?"

"Of course." Li Binyan bowed his head and said, "Ji Duo, Yue Qian, and Yuan Bin are all in Japan, and if they can't come back at this time, Commander Tang is also worried, so he went by himself."

"Let him go." Zhu Qiyu smiled, Tang Xing's freedom is the soul, not a woman can tie it down, if it can be tied down, it is not Tang Xing.

Tanhu Island is composed of [-] islands, large and small islands and reefs. It is only [-] miles away from Jinshanwei. The island is uninhabited. A few days ago, after Sun Xianzong knew that the emperor was going to participate in the launch of the treasure ship, he began to be active. .

At this time, Tanhu Island was full of pirates, about ten thousand people.

Some of these pirates were Japanese pirates, and these Japanese pirates were mainly wandering warriors from the Japanese kingdom recruited by the remnants of the Confucian government.

There are also some pirates from the Hangzhou Haixing Gang, who were raised by Xia Shizheng of the Renhe Xia clan.

Another part is the rebels who went into exile overseas after the defeat of Nanya Dynasty.

These people hated Zhu Qiyu so much, but it was too difficult to overthrow Daming, so they decided to make a big deal and assassinate the king.

At this time, Sun Xianzong was standing on the Bei'ao pier, looking at the rough sea, in a daze.

Bei'ao Wharf is a natural rock protruding into the sea, a natural wharf, and there are about [-] Japanese boats parked outside the wharf.

"Old Sun, don't go if you want me to say, let's go." A slightly rough voice came from behind Sun Xianzong.

Sun Xianzong looked back and saw a handsome man with tanned skin. This man was powerful and unrestrained. Standing there gave people a strong sense of oppression.

And the woman next to this man is a natural beauty who never frowns or smiles.

Sun Xianzong waved his hand and said, "Brother Li, don't try to persuade me any more."

It was Tang Xing, whose alias was Li Yan, who persuaded Sun Xianzong to break up the gang and not to assassinate the king.

The appearance of participating in the game today is enough to seduce people, and in addition, women are not allowed on board to make a living in Shanghai, so it is even more attractive to pirates.

Tang Xing was not Ashikaga Yoshimasa, he didn't have any strange hobbies, a pirate made some jokes, and Tang Xing sank the pirate and dozens of relatives and friends of the pirate the next day.

Pirates are like this, they are never alone, but dozens of people from a village or from the same village are pirates together.

Seeing that Sun Xianzong was determined to go, Tang Xing persuaded: "On the other side of the Hunjun, two giant boats have just been launched into the water. Our boats of [-] materials are just small sampans in front of the giant boats."

"And that Hunjun still has [-] dead-hearted Tiqi followers, and nearly [-] Beijing troops. How can we have more than [-] people and beat Hunjun in front of him?"

"At present, Daming's maritime trade is flourishing, and all the coastal provinces have maritime security agencies. With so many of us, wouldn't it be great to have a maritime security agency?"

The Great Emperor is just happy. These Japanese pirates, pirates, and rebels rushed over in a swarm. Aren't they making things difficult for His Majesty?
Of course, Tang Xing was not sure whether it was to add to the trouble or to add to the fun, but he still planned to persuade him.

Winner and loser, Huichang Bo's house was copied and beheaded, and only Sun Xianzong was left.

Uncle Sun Zhong of Huichang, a smart man, arranged a way out for Sun Xianzong, honestly be a rich man, wouldn't it be good to have a group of wives and concubines?

Do you have to use your life to block the emperor?
Isn't it hard to imagine what it is?
Sun Xianzong flicked his sleeves and said with red eyes: "Brother Li has no guts to go on his own, I won't keep you."

"Full of blood feuds, we cannot share the sky! How can you let me live in peace! If I don't avenge this enmity, I swear not to be human!"

"Board!"

Tang Xing stopped persuading him.

Sun Xianzong was already red-eyed in order to avenge the killing of his father.

Is it the emperor's fault that the bloody cases in Huichangbo's mansion are full of families?Since you chose to rebel, you have to bear the consequences.

Hundreds of Japanese ships of about [-] materials began to leave the port, spread out on the sea, their sails covered the ocean, and the momentum was huge.

Haining and Lujiang also started to leave the port, heading for Turtle Island, which was the preset battlefield.

The pirate fleet composed of Japanese pirates, pirates, and rebels saw two giant ships in about half an hour.

The first two giant boats I saw were the Japanese pirates in the lead. There was mist and confusion on the sea. These Japanese pirates looked at the shadowy giant boats in horror, full of doubts.

"What is that? Is it a mountain? But why is it moving?"

"Boat? Is there a ship that big? A sea monster! It's a sea monster!"

"Is that Daming's new ship? When I came here, no one told me to make an enemy of such an existence!"

"Ah, it's impossible, God Amaterasu, how could it be possible for Daming to have such a powerful ship!"

"Is that a wall floating on the sea?"

……

For Japanese pirates, this ship is really too big.

In the battle of Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang's ship was powerful and iron-locked across the Hengjiang River, stretching for dozens of miles, looking like a mountain. If the east wind did not blow and Zhu Yuanzhang defeated it with fire, the Ming army would be able to win. The outcome is unpredictable.

Water warfare has always been like this, but it is just that a big boat wins a small boat, a big gun wins a small gun; (Yu Daqiu, a famous military commentator and famous anti-Japanese general.)
In front of Haining and Lujiang, the Japanese pirates' [-]-material boats were like cockroaches.

While all the Japanese pirates were still amazed, two giant boats began to line up, aiming all the artillery on one side at the Japanese pirate ships.

"What is this going to do?" A Japanese pirate murmured to himself, looking at the two giant boats lined up in a daze, he only saw the gun barrel reflecting the setting sun.

Following the flashes of fire, one after another solid lead bullets whizzed towards them and slammed down heavily. It wasn't until this moment that rumbling explosions came one after another.

Battle formation, like a long snake formation, the ships lined up in a long line to take advantage of the firepower on both sides. After roaring, the giant scouts began to draw a U-shape on the sea surface and completed the U-turn. The sound of gunfire continued. sounded.

The buckshot roared again.

Behind the two giant boats, there are more than a dozen three-masted ships of [-] materials from the Ming Dynasty, and there are nearly a hundred [-]-material warships on the periphery.

The Daming navy surrounded Japanese pirates, pirates, and rebels.

"Impossible, this is impossible, isn't the Daming Navy in Naha Port in Ryukyu?"

Sun Xianzong held the railing and looked at the roaring Daming navy in the distance, his eyes were tearing apart.

Standing on the observatory of the Songjiang Shipyard, Zhu Qiyu watched the battle at Wuguishan with a binoculars, and said to Li Binyan, "It's still not very good, and the firepower is still not strong enough. The accuracy and power of the artillery need to be improved."

"Even if the Black Dragon Cannon hits four hundred ships with one shot, it can only penetrate through them, and cannot directly sink them."
