Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 543

"This is the first iron-clad warship successfully built by the humble supervisor, please board the ship for inspection!"

Mo Huan was also full of excitement staring at the huge treasure, this is really the most proud warship he has ever built in his life.

Liu Hongjian took five or six personal guards and followed Mo Huan to the No. [-] iron-clad blessing boat. The interior of the cabin was made of camphor wood, pine wood, and fir wood. , the second floor is for soldiers, the third floor is the main operating place, and the upper floor is the combat place.

"My lord, Captain No. [-] Fu is [-] feet long. According to your wishes, the outside of the ship is covered with iron armor. This is really an ingenious move." Word.

“一号福船装配各类火炮48门，其中2门50斤炮，8门35斤炮, 14门20斤炮，24门12斤炮，作战士兵500人。”

He had seen Franji's main warship at the Bugarao Shipyard in Macau. Although the hull of this ship was too heavy due to its armor, and the upper part could not be equipped with more artillery, its speed was compensated by the steam engine.

And in terms of defense, Fuchuan No. [-] is the best in Nanyang at present. What is more important is that Fuchuan No. [-] powered by steam engines will no longer be limited by the wind direction. This is the biggest advantage of Fuchuan No. [-].

Liu Hongjian started his inspection from the steam unit at the bottom of the cabin, went up to the soldiers' quarters and went up to the main artillery cabin to personally inspect one by one.

There is a two-foot-square command room in the cabin on the top, and all the utensils are carved from nanmu, and a whole rectangular sand table is placed in the middle, which is the combat command room.

During the whole process, Liu Hongjian didn't say a word, but Mo Huan accompanied him and explained.

In the center of the deck stands a steam-powered iron chimney, and Liu Hongjian's heart agitated as he stroked the steel plate fixed by rivets and fusion welding to the fir ship's side.

"My lord, this boat has not yet been named, please give it to me." Mo Huan knew that Liu Hongjian was excited, but he still asked calmly.

Even though he had been watching the ship being built, he still couldn't suppress the excitement when he boarded the ship, let alone Liu Hongjian who boarded the ship for the first time.

The sea breeze was a little salty, and the sun was dazzling but not too hot, making Liu Hongjian warm. Standing on the side of the ship, Liu Hongjian looked at the dozens of warships of various sizes lining up on the sea.

"This ship should be called Shanhaiguan!" Liu Hongjian looked at the sea and pondered for a long time before finally speaking.

Warships and warships are not in the same order of magnitude. Those who dare to call them warships are large ships with fierce firepower, fast speed, and strong defense. In the middle of the seventeenth century, there were not many countries in Europe that could call them warships.

This is the first main ship built by Tianjin Treasure Shipyard, and it can be called a battleship in terms of defense and speed.

"Shanhaiguan is the most powerful pass in the Ming Dynasty. It has resisted the northern barbarians for a hundred years and has not been allowed to enter. This ship deserves this name. After a humble job, someone named it with gold lacquer." Mo Huan then said.

"Mr. Mo's hard work, I will reward Mr. Mo when I go back!"

The Daming Navy has been abandoned for a hundred years, but Mo Huan, the chief shipbuilder of Treasure Shipyard, has made great contributions from scratch, and he deserves the respectful title of Mr. Liu Hongjian.

"Thank you, my lord, for your love. My lord can trust me, a foreigner, and I will serve China with all my loyalty and wisdom." Mo Huan bowed in a very solemn manner.

"Why does Mr. Mo claim to be a foreign colonialist? Do you have anything to do with the Mohists of the Spring and Autumn Period?" Liu Hongjian always felt that this Mo Huan was unreasonably calm, and his etiquette was not like Mingli.

People with the surname of Mo in the Ming Dynasty are rare, and in addition, he claims to be a foreigner, and his words serve China instead of Ming Dynasty, which makes him even more suspicious, and makes him think of the famous Mohist Mo Zhai.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of the contention among a hundred schools of thought at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period is not familiar with the Mohist school, not to mention the morality of universal love and non-aggression proposed by the Mohist school, but the mechanism technique that the Mohist school is good at is enough to make it shine.

For 300 years after Mo Di, the successors of the Mohist school have been adhering to Mo Di's original ideals, relying on powerful organ techniques, to travel in weak countries that have been unjustly invaded, and to help them resist wars.

In the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu gave a performance, and Liu Che made an imperial decree, so he dismissed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism. Mohism declined accordingly, and then suffered various framing and suppression, and had to exile with his family. Also suddenly.

"Daming Jinyiwei really deserves its reputation, what the prince said is true, Mo is indeed a member of the Mo family, but I don't know if the Mo family can be tolerated in today's China?" Although Mo Huan was surprised, his expression did not change.

Seeing that his details have been found out, and knowing that the prince in front of him is in charge of Jinyiwei, the largest monitoring organization in the Ming Dynasty, Mo Huan had no choice but to think so.

And the reason why he used such a tone was really sad in his heart.

Since the Western Han Dynasty dominated Confucianism, the descendants of the Mohists were forced to go into exile overseas. For more than 1000 years, the Mohists have never given up returning to China, but the Mohist studies were not tolerated by the rulers of various dynasties. To benefit the local barbarians.

In the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No matter the common people, merchants, or Juzi all regarded Confucianism as a respect and pride, and Mohism had no place to stand.

For thousands of years, the Mohists lingered on the Nanyang islands, and when they arrived at Mohuan, thanks to the knowledge of Limad, the governor of Nanyang from the little Franji, they improved a little.

Mo Huan originally had no intention of returning to the land of China, but a year ago, the prefect of Guangzhou sent someone to invite him, secretly saying that the king of Anguo County of the Ming Dynasty wanted to revive the Navy of the Ming Dynasty and recruit craftsmen from all over the world.

Although Mo Huan lives far away in Macau, he has been paying attention to the land of China behind him all the time. The eclectic behavior of Liu Hongjian, the king of Anguo County, ignited the flame in Mo Huan's heart again, so he set foot on China again with his last thought. earth.

"Mr. Mo is serious. Although Jin Yiwei attaches great importance to the situation in Nanyang, he has no intention of investigating the Mo family. This is actually my king's conjecture.

Don't worry too much about Mr. Mo. In my eyes, there is no distinction between Confucianism and Mohism. What's more, compared with Confucianism, I feel that the mechanics of Mohism are more conducive to the prosperity of China.

This king never promises lightly, but this king assures you that if this king is alive, the day when hundreds of families will contend for glory will surely reappear. "Liu Hongjian is rarely solemn. He has been in exile for thousands of years and still misses the old land, which deserves his respect.

"Mo Huan, the No. 60 second-generation patriarch of the Mohist family, hereby swears that if the country does not abandon it, the Mohist family will do everything in their power to dedicate their blood to the country!" Mo Huan could no longer suppress the anger in his chest, and lifted his robe Kneel down.

No one understands the pain of an exile, let alone a patriot who misses his homeland and always wants to return.

"Mr. Mo, please get up quickly. On behalf of the Ming court, I welcome the descendants of the Mo family to return to the old land!" Liu Hongjian bent down to help Mo Huan up, and said solemnly.

With the help of the Mohists, with his expertise in mechanism and mechanical engineering, it must be another benefit of Daming. Naturally, Liu Hongjian was reluctant to let his talents go out, so he immediately made a promise.

"Let's go, follow me and go to see the [-] newly recruited naval soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!" With the ships and soldiers, everything is within his expectations, and Liu Hongjian is full of ambition at this moment.
