I am the carpenter king

.

After listening to Emperor Tianqi's words, Sun Yuanhua glanced at Sun Chengzong, bowed to Sun Chengzong and said: "My lord, good wood is needed to build a warship." Having said this, Sun Yuanhua didn't say anything, he believed that the people present Everyone can understand it.

Sun Chengzong looked at Sun Yuanhua with a smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "You don't have to talk like this, just say what you have, the old man won't do anything to you."

Emperor Tianqi and Xu Guangqi also laughed, but they all understood what Sun Yuanhua wanted to express. Although Tianjin has a superior geographical location, there is no timber suitable for shipbuilding near the capital.But Liaodong is different. There are many towering trees there, which are very suitable for shipbuilding.

Several people frowned and pondered. Emperor Tianqi pondered for a while before saying: "The shipyard still needs to be built in Tianjin. If it is to transport firearms there, it is better to transport timber. Every year, the imperial court sends many ships to Liaodong to deliver goods for Liaodong. Food, grass and weapons can be put on wood when you come back."

Giving a salute to Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong frowned and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is no need to transport anything. Warships can be built in Liaodong, and artillery can be installed in Tianjin. This is not a conflict. As long as you decide in advance what kind of equipment to install. Artillery, reserve the position of the artillery, and that's it!" [

Emperor Tianqi smiled lightly, and nodded in agreement, obviously this is a very good notice.It's just that Sun Chengzong didn't expect that Sun Yuanhua said again: "My lord, this is actually not feasible. The idea is indeed good, but the real construction is not feasible. The artillery needs to be installed in the belly of the ship, not on the deck. If you do this It is necessary to repeatedly disassemble and assemble the deck. Originally, this is not a problem, but if it is done, the hull will loosen. The use of the warship will be shortened in the world.”

Several people were not talking, obviously waiting for Emperor Tianqi to make up his mind.The method adopted by Sun Chengzong saves time and effort, and the most important thing is to save money, but the warships made will be shorter.If Sun Yuanhua's idea is adopted, it will take time and effort.It will also cost more, but the warships will definitely be better.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi raised his head and asked Sun Yuanhua, "What do you think about the establishment of this navy?"

Lifting up his clothes and kneeling on the ground, Sun Yuanhua touched his head to the ground, and said in a rather decisive voice: "Your Majesty, students are the masters of building warships, but they are not masters of building naval forces. But students know a person, He is the best candidate to organize and train the navy, and the students are willing to recommend this person like the emperor."

Seeing Sun Yuanhua's seriousness.Emperor Tianqi and the others were slightly taken aback, apparently not expecting him to do this.Xu Guangqi on the other side was also in a daze. He didn't expect his students to do this, but he didn't blame Sun Yuanhua either.Xu Guangqi was also very curious about the people Sun Yuanhua had chosen. Sun Yuanhua was one of his best students, so of course he would not think that Sun Yuanhua was talking nonsense.

"Let's talk!" Nodding in satisfaction, Emperor Tianqi was even more satisfied with Sun Yuanhua.Know exactly what you want and what you don't want.Such people are very rare.

"Your Majesty, I am recommending Yu Zigao, the commander-in-chief of Fujian. Yu Zigao is the son of General Yu Dayou. He is a very suitable candidate who has deep knowledge of naval warfare and knows how to organize and train naval forces." Sun Yuanhua knelt on the ground , said in a respectful tone.

The person who heard Sun Yuanhua's recommendation.Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything, but Sun Chengzong frowned.He had heard about Yu Zigao, but it wasn't a good rumor.Unlike Qi Jin, Qi Jinshen's uncle, Qi Jiguang's true biography, has a high attainment in water combat and foot combat.He is very good at selecting and training troops.

It seems that Yu Zigao did not get the true biography of his father. As the saying goes, the tiger father and dog son, and Sun Chengzong has never seen this Yu Zigao.Sun Chengzong actually didn't know about his abilities, so he didn't say anything.

However, Sun Chengzong thought of one thing, neither Qi Jin nor Yu Zigao could command the navy.These two people may be able to be a general, but they seem to be close to leading the navy, but Sun Chengzong thought of one person at this time.

Emperor Tianqi was frowning and meditating, and the atmosphere in the hall became a little depressing.For Yu Dayou, Emperor Tianqi is no stranger, he is a general who can be called together with Qi Jiguang.However, Qi Jin is much more famous than Yu Zigao. Emperor Tianqi knew that Yu Zigao was because of another person, Zheng Zhilong, the father of the national hero Zheng Chenggong.

When Zheng Zhilong was a pirate, the imperial court sent Yu Dayou, the then general soldier of Fujian, to encircle and suppress Zheng Zhilong, but he was beaten and defeated.It was because of this incident that Yu Zigao was imprisoned and had his head beheaded in the end.However, Emperor Tianqi once asked about Yu Zigao's matter. Yu Zigao had done a very heroic thing, but very few people knew about it.

During the Wanli period, the Dutch sent warships to occupy Penghu, but were soon expelled by the Ming army.However, the Dutch did not give up. After some planning, the Dutch sent warships to occupy the Penghu Islands.

At that time, Yu Zigao, who led people to retake the Penghu Islands in time, can say that this battle was very beautiful and fully demonstrated his talent.

For Zheng Zhilong, who started as a sea bandit, the Emperor Tianqi naturally valued Yu Zigao more, after all, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.Emperor Tianqi naturally looked down on such a person who separated one side in the early stage and betrayed the country for glory in the later stage.

Emperor Tianqi deeply understood that naval battles depended not only on command, but more importantly on warships and artillery.It is normal for Yu Zigao to lead the navy in Fujian, but it is normal for Zheng Zhilong to be defeated.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since he is the son of General Yu Dayou, let him go to Beijing." Emperor Tianqi turned his gaze to Sun Chengzong, Said in a deep voice, "Sir, the cabinet drafted an order as soon as possible to drop Yu Zigao to the capital."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll do it when I get back!" Sun Chengzong nodded slowly, and said solemnly.

Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, and said with a serious expression: "I have decided that the warship will still be built in Tianjin. As for the timber, it can be transported by a warship that transports supplies." [

"The emperor is holy!" Several people said at the same time, the Emperor Tianqi made a decision on this kind of thing.

After hesitating for a while, Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, I also want to mention someone!"

"Sir, just say it." Emperor Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong with interest, and probably not many people could be attracted by Sun Chengzong.

After thinking about it with his head down, Sun Chengzong said slowly: "The person recommended by me is Shen Yourong. I think this person is very suitable to lead the navy."

Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback, he had really never heard of Shen Yourong, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Sir, tell me about this person carefully!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Shen Yourong was a candidate for the Shuntian Mansion martial arts examination in the seventh year of Wanli, but he was not admitted to Jinshi." Sun Chengzong said that this place is rather embarrassing. Everyone present, including Emperor Tianqi, understands that it is because he has no background. .

Compared with the imperial examinations for civil officials, the imperial examinations for warriors are like child's play. Those military champions are all hereditary nobles from all over the country, and the process is like gilding.Not to mention cheating and the like, that is already public.

After only skipping this paragraph, Sun Chengzong went on to say: "After passing the examination, Shen Yourong went to Liaodong to join the army. In the sixth year of Liaodong, Shen Yourong started to make military exploits repeatedly from a small soldier. Later, Shen Yourong served under Yu Dayou's command, because Yu Dayou's matter was I was implicated, so I had to go home. Later, when he fought Japanese pirates in North Korea, Shen Yourongyou went to the battlefield again. Later, he fought in Liaodong and Jiliao. It's never been high."

Sun Chengzong's tone was very light, without the slightest emotion, but Emperor Tianqi heard the tragic song of a hero.It can be said that it is the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty that such a person cannot be reused.

"Later, Shen Yourong was transferred to Fujian. He fought Japanese pirates, sea bandits, and red-haired ghosts. He was proficient in firearms and warships. He was a very rare person. He has been in the army for more than 40 years, and Shen Yourong has experienced combat experience. Number, when the official position was the highest, he was the deputy commander-in-chief." Sun Chengzong didn't say anything when he said this, obviously he felt that there was no need to continue.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi asked in a deep voice: "Where is this Shen Yourong now?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Shen Yourong is now the deputy general of Shandong, stationed in Dengzhou." Sun Chengzong bowed to Emperor Tianqi, and said respectfully.

Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback when he heard Sun Chengzong's words. It seemed that this Shen Yourong was also a talent Sun Chengzong discovered in Liaodong.

Seeing that Emperor Tianqi hadn't spoken for a long time, Sun Chengzong felt a little worried. He is now a high authority.Not only is he the No. 1 civil servant, but he also commands hundreds of thousands of troops, which can be said to be unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty for 200 years.Emperor Tianqi's trust in Sun Chengzong was deep in his bones, and Sun Chengzong was still going to do the army reorganization in Liaodong this time.

As for the naval division, if it is still Sun Chengzong's people, it is really unreasonable.This is also the reason why Sun Chengzong hesitated just now, but Sun Chengzong didn't want this navy to fall into the hands of capable people, and Emperor Qi's hard work was wasted that day.

Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Back then Liu Bei had Zhuge Wuhou, and today I have a husband. I am so happy! Since the husband thinks Shen Yourong is suitable, let's throw him into Beijing!"

"The emperor is holy!" Sun Chengzong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Emperor Tianqi said.I must pay attention in the future, I am not Zhuge Liang, and Emperor Tianqi is not Liu Bei. (to be continued...)
