Chapter 239

"Your servant understands..." In fact, Qin Yaozu didn't understand anything at all, and his mind went blank.

"Also, your Fisheries Supervision Department is concerned with fish in the sea and disaster relief in the interior. You need to find a place with convenient transportation and location for easy management. In this way, the location of your Fisheries Supervision Department will be located at... ...is located in..." Yang Huaihe couldn't remember the name of that place for a while, and turned to ask Xu Guangqi: "Master Xu, what is the name of the place where you were born? It seems to be the mouth of the Yangtze River."

Xu Guangqi was also shocked by the emperor's words. He was still digesting the emperor's words. Hearing the emperor's question to himself, he quickly replied: "Report to Your Majesty, Songjiang Mansion, Shanghai County."

"That's right, that's the place. It is connected to the sea on one side and the Yangtze River waterway on the other. The Fisheries Department was established in Shanghai County, so that you can collect fish and send it to Shaanxi." Yang Reform set up the office of the Fisheries Supervision Department Place.

Qin Yaozu has been in a daze from just now until now. He neither understands what the emperor asked him to do nor why he does it. However, he probably understands that his task is really arduous. Maybe, Just now, I shouldn't have agreed to the emperor's second choice, I should have chosen the first one, and directly became the palm seal eunuch of the internal official supervisor, so that it wouldn't be so hard.

"Your servant obeys." I didn't understand, I didn't understand, but I still had to say it like this.

"Big companion, which department is in charge of the salt for marinating fish?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this Shanghai County is under the administration of Songjiang Prefecture, and Songjiang is also a place of salt production. There is a Songjiang Transshipment Division under the Liangzhe Transshipment Envoy. If Your Majesty wants to allocate fish salt, it should be allocated from the Songjiang Transshipment Division. " Wang Chengen replied.

"Okay, let's transfer from here." Yang Reform finalized the matter again.

Zhang Jiude felt that he had come here, and there was almost no chance to speak. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to speak, to show his existence, and said: "Your Majesty, there is something that I don't know whether to say or not."

"Oh, what's the matter, just say it."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the River Pond Office under the Heaven is somewhat similar to the Fishery Administration Department established by Your Majesty. Is there a subordinate relationship?" Zhang Jiude has dealt with He all the year round, so he is quite clear about the matters involving He.

"What is Hebo?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the river ponds are where the fish tax is collected. There are more than 200 rivers and lakes in our country." Zhang Jiude replied.

Yang Reform was also taken aback. It turned out that the Ming Dynasty also had a fishery policy. Yang Reform had always thought that there was no fishery policy.However, after thinking about Zhang Jiude's words carefully, I realized that this is probably different from my own fishery secretary. This Hebo probably collects fish tax for freshwater fish, while my fishery secretary is in charge of fishery in the sea. , there are still some differences. After thinking about it, he said: "This, it doesn't have much to do with it. Now the Fishery Supervision Department is still in its infancy. It is not appropriate to complicate the relationship. Don't implicate these two together." Yang Reform decided If we don't merge these two together for the time being, the relationship will be complicated, which will be bad and a waste of energy.

……

After discussing the fishery matter, the matter has come to an end. Xu Guangqi intends to leave. He still has countless things waiting for him to be busy, but Zhou Yanru is still kneeling there. He kept his eyes on Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru felt that he was really unlucky, so he knelt down by himself, but the emperor didn't ask him to get up, he knelt for a long time, the emperor seemed to have forgotten that he was still kneeling, and he didn't dare to get up When he got up, he had to kneel there. What's worse, the emperor's words just now were so horrifying that when he pinched his thigh, he didn't notice it when he pinched his thigh too hard. Now that the force has passed, Zhou Yanru feels that he just squeezed his thigh That place is hot and painful.

Zhou Yanru wished he could slap his own mouth. He shouldn't have talked too much just now. The misfortune came out of his mouth. He said nothing wrong. He was scolded by the emperor for failing to say a word... But, why did the emperor and Xu Guangqi talk like this? What about speculation?You ask me to answer, you say I discussed it, and such a big matter is settled so simply, it seems that this emperor teacher still has a few tricks!It seems that I have to learn more from Xu Guangqi in the future...

"Zhou Aiqing, get up. In the future, don't keep talking about the Heavenly Empire. I have warned you before, you should care more about the people, care about the people, and go to the grassroots to understand the actual situation. Do you understand?" Yang Reform looked at Zhou Yanru, a very young sub-ministerial-level real-time official, and kindly educated him.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your instruction. I will keep it in mind." Zhou Yanru stood up as usual, only to feel that the place where his thigh was just pinched was not ordinary pain. In this Wenhua Palace, etiquette cannot be lost, so Zhou Yanru had no choice but to Grit your teeth and hold on.

When Xu Guangqi saw that the emperor asked Zhou Yanru to get up, he left.

When going out, Zhou Yanru seemed to have a limp in one leg, limping and limping.Yang Reform also found it strange when he saw it, so he just knelt for a while, and then he couldn't do it?This guy is so young, what's wrong with his body?

Xu Guangqi and his party left, and Yang Reform only left Qin Yaozu behind.

"Qin Yaozu, the matter with the fishing boat is over. You can talk about your ship models, the advantages and disadvantages of each warship, and report to Master Xu after deciding on the styles of each warship." Yang Reform said again The center of the matter turned to the aspect of building warships.

Qin Yaozu's mind was full of confusion just now, but after a period of adaptation, he finally had a certain understanding of his new position, that is, he might be going to fight at sea, so his view of this warship changed dramatically.

"Obey, Your Majesty..."

"...Your Majesty, this servant thinks that when building a ship, you should build a big ship, especially if the ship is big, so that you can sail on the sea for a long time; The wind and waves at sea; the artillery and weapons must be sharp, so that the enemy can be suppressed..." Qin Yaozu saw that his position had changed from an internal officer to a fishery admiral, and he had to deal with the ocean every day. The attitude that it doesn't matter how you build a ship has changed, and he has become a loyal supporter of large ships and cannons, because only large ships and cannons can guarantee people's safety at sea. If a sampan is set up to go to sea, Qin Yaozu will definitely not do it .

Yang Reform sounds a little weird, but let him continue talking.

"I feel that in a fleet, it is best to have a treasure ship as the commander-in-chief ship, which is the core of the entire fleet; and then use this kind of big blessing ship as a ship [the full name of the ship is a battleship, a large battleship], dedicated to combat, It can effectively attack the enemy and destroy the enemy. This kind of large boat can also be used as the commander-in-chief of the unit; then build several smaller Fuchuan as warships and the main force of the navy, dedicated to combat; and then build several horses. Fast boats can be used for water warfare or to transport military supplies; and then several water boats will be allocated. In this way, Your Majesty, a relatively complete fleet is completed. This kind of fleet is suitable for long-distance voyages. It can travel thousands of miles and has sufficient supplies..." Qin Yaozu now He is a complete supporter of big ships and cannons. While talking, he picked up different ship samples and gestured to the emperor. When he first talked about treasure ships, he took treasure ships. The Fuchuan, then the smaller Fuchuan, then the Ma Kuaichuan, which is bigger than the small Fuchuan, and finally the water boat, which is also very large... Yang Reform compared the composition of this fleet with the yellow croaker boat behind, It's almost impossible to see, it's all giant ships.

Yang Reform looked at the fleet composition this guy recommended to him, and felt that this fleet was very different from Anduo's fleet. The Western fleet did not have any logistics ships for transporting supplies, while Qin Yaozu's fleet had The Ma Kuaichuan is an armed transport ship capable of combat and transporting materials, and there are also water ships that specialize in transporting food and fresh water. This, the thinking between the East and the West is really very different.

"Qin Yaozu, this fleet of yours is a bit too luxurious. Why are you equipped with so many grain ships and water ships?" Yang Reform was also depressed. This kind of fleet is probably not a fleet dedicated to combat. The fleet, the gap is too big.

Qin Yaozu now wished that his fishery supervision department would use treasure ships, so it would be safe. Seeing the emperor's question, he immediately replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, as the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first. This fleet is traveling far away, and there is no supplement. Isn’t it a distraction? Therefore, in the fleet of slaves, there are horse clippers and water boats. The horse clippers can not only transport military supplies, participate in battles, but also transport horses. When they arrive at a certain place, they can put down the horses , became the cavalry, so that the ocean-going fleet has deterrent power..." Qin Yaozu spoke of his fleet with great confidence.

Yang Reform was also taken aback. Isn't this the Marine Corps?It's still the marine cavalry, this..., the thinking of the people of the Ming Dynasty is really far from their own!In other words, the thinking of the Ming Dynasty people has transcended several centuries, and they started playing with the navy directly from the [-]th century?
"Qin Yaozu, I want to ask you, who told you about the ratio of your fleet? How did you come up with it?" Yang Reform was curious about what Qin Yaozu's mind was thinking, and the gap between Eastern and Western thinking. , It’s really not that big. Today’s Western warships, just look at the Sea King, there are more than 800 sailors, and the Ming Dynasty Fuchuan of the same size has only more than 300 people. Obviously, the days of Western sailors are not The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were better off, at least in terms of space, there were more soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant is very stupid. I know so much there. I also asked some old people and some old officers and soldiers. I learned from them that when the Sanbao eunuch Zheng He went to the West, the fleet was like this. Eunuch Zheng He's fleet is just copied, but the number is less..." Qin Yaozu said very modestly, but also very honest, because Zheng Huaizhong repeatedly warned him, what to say in front of the emperor.

... Yang Reform was speechless. Sure enough, the people of the Ming Dynasty started playing with the navy in the [-]th century, and they were really advanced.Just skipped the way of Westerners who have one, a few warships to fight sea battles, and play the way of the navy. Once on the horse, there are aircraft carriers, large ships, small battleships, armed transport ships, and logistics ships. In the navy, there are also marine battles. cavalry……

"Then you must have a lot of non-combatants in this fleet." Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is true that if the configuration of the Sanbao eunuch is used, in addition to the officers and soldiers, there will also be banner troops, warriors, general officials, minshao, compradors, scribes, household officials, yin and yang officials, and teachers in the fleet. Instructions, medical officers, internal officials..." Qin Yaozu's dream broke out, and today's eunuchs all regard Zheng He as their goal, and they are very familiar with everything about Zheng He.Because of Zheng Huaizhong, the eunuchs' various explanations, the emperor was very interested in this voyage to the West, and the emperor's interest was naturally the interest of the eunuchs.Qin Yaozu happily reported the staffing of Zheng He's fleet.

Yang Reform was completely speechless. According to Qin Yaozu's configuration, he directly skipped the [-]th and [-]th centuries in the history of naval development, and started playing directly from the [-]th century, and maybe even started playing from the [-]th century. , Yang Reform remembers that only in later generations can there be ships with various functions to form a fleet, but now, it is only in the early seventeenth century.

What makes Yang Reform even more tangled is that Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty started playing this way in the fifteenth century, more than 200 years earlier than now, and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries of later generations are farther away.

What troubled Yang Reform the most was the lack of data on Zheng He’s voyages. Now even if he wanted to start playing from the Zheng He era, he couldn’t do it. Now the navy of the Ming Dynasty is really weak. They are all small boats and can only fight offshore. .

"Hey..., I know you are talking about what happened to the Sanbao eunuch Zheng He at that time, but now, it is different from that time, so don't talk too far, let's talk about something reliable. In the fleet, don't have too many The idlers and others, the fleet is still mainly to ensure combat effectiveness, the fleet exists for combat..." Yang Reform struggled for a while, and felt that it would be impossible to follow Zheng He's path now. Secondly, the West has also gradually risen. The warships built purely for battle in the West pose a certain threat to this large and complete fleet.

Qin Yaozu thought for a while, and said: "Then, according to my slaves, it is best to have a treasure ship as a command ship. If there is no treasure ship, you have to use this large lucky ship as a command ship. It is also necessary to use large lucky boats, small warships can use this kind of smaller lucky boats, and even Haicang boats are also acceptable, and horse clippers can be equipped with less, no horses, more ordnance, gunpowder and military supplies. The water boat can also be equipped with less, that is, on this ship, except for the medical officer, the others can be omitted, so it can save a lot of people..." Qin Yaozu also knew that it is not right to build Zheng He's treasure ship now It is possible, therefore, to make a simplified version of the fleet.

...Yang Reform originally thought that all the warships of the Ming Dynasty would line up with the Western fleet, purely considering battle as a battleship, but after thinking about it, listening to Qin Yaozu's words, and thinking about the future, all kinds of ships The division of labor is also a trend, so we decided to keep the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, or try to connect with the 21st century.

"Well, well, it's up to you. The treasure ship is built first, with the treasure ship as the flagship, the big blessing ship as the ship, the big ship, the small blessing ship as the battle ship, and the horse clipper as the armed transport ship. , in charge of food, armaments, gunpowder, military supplies, etc., there is no need to transport horses, water boats..., add a communication ship dedicated to communication and message delivery, roughly like this, look at the proportions of these ships, how many ships are equipped for each ?” Yang Reform decided to keep the traditions and characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. As for whether the pure Western warships are more suitable for the current market, or the cooperation between the various ships of the Ming Dynasty is more suitable for this world, this will depend on time. Come check it out.

"Yes, Your Majesty,... the servant thinks that a fleet should be equipped with a handsome ship, at least five large ships [the full name of a ship is a battleship, a large battleship], ten small warships, and three fast horses. Two water boats, communication boats, probably two or three." Qin Yaozu knew about this matter with half a barrel of water, and he didn't know much more than the emperor, but since the emperor asked, let's talk about it, Qin Yaozu guessed, put himself Said the fleet in mind, this kind of ratio is completely compared with the fleet ratio of the Yiren before, everything is a little more than him, so that the record of this fleet will be better than that of the Yiren’s fleet in the future. Looks good, Qin Yaozu had a little thought.

Yang Reform came down and carefully looked at the ship models that Qin Yaozu picked out. There are five or six types of ships that make up the fleet. The largest is the treasure ship.

The smaller ones are the ones that Qin Yaozu used to compare with An Duo at the beginning. They are the big blessing boats, the smaller ones are the small blessing boats, then the horse clipper boats, and the water boats, and finally the communication boats.

Yang Reform picked up the kind of boat that Qin Yaozu and An Duo competed with, and said, "This kind of boat must be the Dafu boat."

"Returning to Your Majesty, that's right. This kind of ship is the Dafu ship, which can be used as a boat. It has eight Hongyi cannons, forty thousand-jin Flang machines, and other firearms are useless. It is a powerful warship." Qin Yaozu said .

"Well, that's not bad. Are all your ship samples made according to the actual size of the ship?" Yang Reform is also having a bit of a headache now. The various data of this ship, such as crew, firepower, and endurance, Yang Reform is not very good. clear.

"Return to Your Majesty, yes, except for the treasure ship, all the others are made according to the actual size of the existing warships in our dynasty, otherwise they are not called ship samples." Qin Yaozu said very proudly. Officials and prisons do not eat dry food, there are all kinds of skilled craftsmen in the world.

"So, that's very good. I'll build five or six of this kind of big lucky boat first according to your order..." Yang Reform picked up the large lucky boat and said, this kind of lucky boat has eight long-range red cannons , a little closer, there are forty thousand-jin Flang machine, which can be regarded as fierce firepower, let alone other small firearms.

Then he picked up the smaller lucky boat and continued: "This kind of small lucky boat is used as a small battleship. Just as you said, build ten ships." , only about half of it.

Picking up an armed transport ship like a horse clipper, he said, "Maybe only two of this kind of horse clipper."

Then there is the water boat, Yang Reform thought for a long time, and said: "This kind, I don't want it, it's not for going to the ocean, its function is combined with the Ma Kuaichuan." Yang Reform did not want the water boat in the end, it was a battle The fleet used is not the fleet used by Zheng He.

Finally, he picked up the ship that was temporarily used as a communication ship and said: "This communication ship, let's build two or three." A fleet was finally formed.
