Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 534 Like Father, Like Son (Third update, recommendation ticket plus update)
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, Tianjin Treasure Shipyard has now built eight main ships and more than [-] other ships of various types. I think it is imminent to form the Beiyang Navy early!"

It happened that the two righteous masters were both present, so Liu Hongjian mentioned some urgent matters at the moment.

"I have handed over all government affairs to Cihong, you two talk about it!" Chongzhen immediately entered the role, and it seemed that he was relieved.

"Father, my son...my son doesn't understand military affairs." Zhu Cihong said honestly, not to mention the navy, he didn't understand even the land military, so he had to blame Chongzhen again.

"I... don't understand. You Ming, you are fully responsible. How many people need to be recruited, how much money is needed, and reported to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households. Cilang should cooperate."

Chongzhen used Liu Hongjian with ease, and after finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Zhu Cihuang, as if to say, see?It has to be done this way!

"Your Majesty...Prince...you...you don't understand!" Liu Hongjian was speechless for a while, this mother, like a father, like a son...

"Thank you Liu... the King of Anguo County!" Zhu Cihong wanted to say Brother Liu, but when he saw Chongzhen by his side, he changed his words. Chongzhen seemed to understand but didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, this is a major military matter. The minister is in charge of the armies of various places, and now he is in charge of the navy. This... this is not appropriate, the backbone of the minister will be broken by the courtiers..."

Liu Hongjian knew that the father and son trusted him and regarded him as their reliance, but the courtiers didn't think so!

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty are like this. They are not in their positions but they want to seek their own government. A powerful minister, a peerless powerful minister, a powerful minister who can subvert the court at any time, the royal family dares to trust him, but the courtiers are just the opposite.

They don't allow such a powerful figure, or, if they really need it, why not me?Most of the courtiers probably have such thoughts.

"Whoever dares to make unreasonable remarks, I will destroy his three clans." Chongzhen's beard trembled, and he could see it most clearly.

"My son listens to my father." Zhu Cihong didn't understand very well, but he was very obedient.

Liu Hongjian: ...

"Tianjin Treasure Shipyard now has eight sets of production lines, of which the main warships are No. [-] and No. [-] Fuchuan, accounting for a total of three.

Under the condition of rushing to work day and night, one month can produce one No. [-] Fuchuan, one and a half No. [-] Fuchuan, two centipede boats, and four Haicang boats.

The hulls are all made of pine, fir, camphor, and nanmu. What I mean is that the Daming Navy will abandon the previous water warfare methods and only build large and medium-sized warships. "

According to the records of Ming Dynasty's previous naval battles, most of them won by relying on quantity. The two armies used the main Fuchuan to bombard the enemy, and then used countless ultra-small net shuttle boats and light eagle boats to harass the enemy in close combat.

What's more, when the fighting is intense, these small boats rely on their lightness and can be filled with fuel to launch suicide raids. The battles between Zheng Zhilong and the Dutchman and the Fran robot almost all rely on this method.

It is not uncommon for Liu Hongjian to injure one thousand enemies and self-injure eight hundred. No matter how humble the soldiers are, they all have their own parents and family members. As long as he is still in command, he will not allow them to give up their right to life at will .

The reason why Zheng Zhilong relied on such methods for naval battles was actually out of helplessness. Now Daming's Fuchuan has no advantage against Europa's main battleship.

No one can shoot far with artillery, no one can run fast with warships, and if you want to win, you really can't do it without fighting.

But Liu Hongjian has a cannon. Although this thing is still solid, it is definitely the field artillery with the longest range today.

Liu Hongjian briefly explained the reason to the two of them, Zhu Cihong nodded his head as if he was listening carefully, Chongzhen was already used to it, taking a sip with a cup of tea for a while as if he was listening to a story.

It is no wonder that the two are like this. In the past 300 years, the Ming Dynasty has never had a navy organization. The existing navy has always used the army organization, but it is impossible for the general soldiers, generals, and garrison to manage the ships.

So much so that in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, when there were some decent sailors, the person in charge of the ship was only a fifth-rank promotion. Usually, the ship returned to the Shibo promotion department, and the imperial court sent another official to take charge of command in wartime.

Basically, it has been like this for 300 years. When Uncle Chongzhen came here, there were only hundreds of tank boats running on the Grand Canal left in the entire Ming Dynasty. It is not miserable.

"The reason why we don't build small boats is naturally because our Ming Dynasty has artillery that can fire farther. We use Fuchuan No. [-] and No. [-] as the main warships, and medium-sized ships such as Centipede Ships and Haicang Ships as cruisers and escorts. It is the minister's plan, what do the emperor and His Highness think?"

That's all he knew. Although the two of them might not be able to understand what they said, they had to say what had to be said.

"I... have no objection, the King of Anguo will do as he sees fit." Zhu Cihong glanced at his father, and found that Chongzhen had no intention of speaking, so he had to make his own opinion.

But Zhu Cihong learned and applied it very quickly, and immediately gained a bit of Chongzhen style.

"Besides, I intend to install [-]-inch thick steel plates on the surface of the main battleship to make it stronger. As a result, the hull is too heavy. I have been working with the head of the Ordnance Institute Song to develop a sharp weapon - a steam engine.

Now the steam engine has also made great progress. Although it may not be able to speed up much, at least it can run slower than when it was not equipped with iron armor. "Liu Hongjian thought for a while and said.

In fact, there is another point that Liu Hung-chien did not say, that it is not enough to install the steel plate thinly, and there is another problem besides the fact that the draft is too deep and the runners run slowly if the steel plate is installed thick.

That is to cause the upper part of the hull to be too heavy, so that the rudder cannot be turned too fast, and because of this, the upper part of the hull cannot be equipped with too many cannons.

"Due to the limited number of warships at present, I intend to recruit [-] sailors first. The navy can have one admiral, several deputy admirals, and the rest will be the captains of the warships.

Therefore, the imperial court should discuss the candidate for the admiral. After explaining about the navy, Liu Hongjian picked up the tea bowl to moisten his throat, and when he looked up, he found that both Chongzhen and his son were staring at him.

"Your Majesty...Your Highness..." Liu Hongjian understood after seeing this old man, and he probably couldn't get away with this errand again.

"In my opinion, the post of admiral must be done by you." Chongzhen made the decision without waiting for his son to answer.

This is the second lesson he taught his son, don't be suspicious about employing people and don't use others, for any important military affairs, before there is no suitable candidate, you must find the most capable and trustworthy person to fill it.

"minister……"

"Brother Liu, let's go and do it, we... We are one family, whoever dares to speak nonsense, I will destroy the other family!" Zhu Cihong encouraged himself and said in a loud voice, and he called Brother Liu directly.

Zhu Cihong didn't have so many bad intentions when he urinate and defecate, and he was not willing to punish his servants in the palace on weekdays, so saying such words can be regarded as showing his attitude.

Chongzhen glanced at his strange son and didn't say much. What a ruler fears most is not knowing what his subjects want. After getting along for more than two years, he finally understood that Youming didn't love power. Didn't show much.

It was also from last year when Liu Hongjian returned from killing the bandits in Shanxi, Liu Hongjian refused to go back to the palace with him for a celebration banquet, and chose to go home to reunite with his wife and children.

Only then did Chongzhen understand that what Lizi really wanted was the safety of his family, well, this was his weakness.

It's just that he didn't expect that his son could understand better than him. Although Chongzhen didn't show it on the surface, he was really happy in his heart. A child can be taught, that's what he did, he was enlightened!

"The minister...takes orders." Liu Hongjian actually wanted to say that the minister is too busy!

But when he got to this point, he still held back, it was useless to say it, Chongzhen regarded him as a nephew, Zhu Cihong regarded him as an elder brother, and he was not an outsider, what else could he do?It's such hard work!

"Brother Liu, you've worked hard!" Zhu Cihong had a smile on his face, and suddenly felt that handling government affairs was not as difficult as imagined, and he couldn't help but have confidence in the future of supervising the country.

Liu Hongjian: ...
