Iron Dynasty

As the setting sun of blood dyed Dengzhou City red, the faint twilight began to fall at this time.

After thanking Yang Chengye, he excitedly led everyone to the mansion, where a banquet had already been set up and was waiting for everyone.

After taking the train for six hours and wandering around the city for a long time, both the ministers and the concubines were hungry.

When everyone sat down and faced the fragrant seafood, they couldn't help it. After Xiao Ming spoke and opened the table, the atmosphere suddenly became strong.

Xiao Yi, the little guy, immediately picked up the king crab on the table and shouted, Father, look, this crab is really big. I've never seen such a big crab before.

Fei Yue'er was also a little surprised when she looked at the king crab on her table. He said, Your Majesty, we have eaten a lot of seafood in Dengzhou, but this is the first time we have seen such a big king crab.

Yang Chengye said with a smile: Niangniang, there are no such crabs in the waters of Dengzhou. The crabs on the table were caught by fishermen who went to the waters north of Japan. If it wasn't for the emperor who taught the local officials about the edible seafood in the sea. , they really didn't dare to bring it back at that time.

North of the Japanese country? Xiao Ming revealed a dark color of interest. This king crab is red, and it is a typical contemporary Hokkaido king crab.

Yes, Your Majesty, the fishermen did not dare to leave Dengzhou to go fishing in the waters of the Japanese state, but since the royal family ordered the war with the Japanese state, General Yue has surrounded the warships of the Japanese state at sea. Now the waters between the Japanese state and Goryeo are very safe. At this time, some bold fishermen went to sea to fish in Japanese waters, after all, now the tow fishing technology allows fishermen to fish far away, so that they can get more.

Xiao Ming has always supported marine fishing. In this era, he rarely realizes the importance of marine resources, but he does.

Compared with the depletion of marine fishery resources in the 21st century, the abundance of fishery resources in this era is amazing. When Xiao Ming went from Jinling to Sanshan Kingdom a few years ago, he often saw large schools of fish along the way.

In addition, the navy of the Great Yu country has already reached its initial size, so he can completely squeeze the fishery resources of the Goryeo and Japanese countries, and give this benefit to the people of the Great Yu country.

Well, yes, fishing is an important industry for Dengzhou. You should not only develop large fishing boats, but also encourage fishermen to fish in the distant sea. Wherever the navy of the Great Yu State goes, it is the fishing grounds of the Great Yu State. If you can't do it, you won't give them canned fish to eat. Xiao Ming smiled, he didn't care about more fishing boats, because the fishing power of this era is very different from that of modern times, and the entire Dengzhou is probably not as good as a fishing village in modern times.

Hahaha... The officials laughed because of Xiao Ming's joke.

Skip this topic, and then everyone officially eats.

While eating seafood, we chatted about the development details of Dengzhou, until seven o'clock in the evening, many people dispersed.

The next day, Xiao Ming left Xiao Yi, Fei Yue'er and others in Dengzhou City, while he and Yang Chengye went to Dengzhou's shipyard.

Your Majesty, this is the latest battleship.

Zhang Liang pointed to twenty brand-new battleships in the naval port. These battleships were similar in size to Tier 3 battleships, except that three chimneys were erected in the middle of the mast.

Are these battleships using the latest triple expansion steam engines?

Yes, Your Majesty, so these warships only need three chimneys, because warships need more boilers to burn coal. Relatively speaking, the power of these warships is much higher than that of a warship with one chimney. Zhang Liang explained.

Xiao Ming nodded, he naturally understood the truth, this time he reached a deal with the Netherlands, and he would provide escort on the way Brandon returned to the Netherlands.

So he had to send ten warships to the Netherlands.

As for these ten battleships, he is not going to use steam battleships, but still uses sail battleships. These more than 20 steam battleships will make up for the vacancies of these ten battleships and be responsible for besieging Japan.

The reason why he was besieging the Japanese country instead of choosing to go to war with the Japanese country, Xiao Ming has some considerations, now that the ocean is in his hands, the Japanese country is simply unable to invade the Great Yu country.

In this way, he can concentrate on realizing the domestic reunification of the Great Yu Kingdom.

After watching the new warships, Xiao Ming had some concerns in his heart, and then he and Zhang Liang went to the First Shipyard and the Second Shipyard.

Compared with the pure manual work in the past, the roar of machines is heard everywhere in the shipyard. The existence of these machines has greatly accelerated the speed of shipbuilding.

Zhang Liang, I once told you about the iron-clad battleship. Do you think it is possible to add a layer of iron armor to the outer layer of the battleship with the current capabilities of the shipyard? Xiao Ming asked.

Zhang Liang said: This is possible, because the power of the steam engine allows the shipyard to have the ability to hoist, but the production of this iron armor still needs the steel plant to do it.

Xiao Ming nodded. In the Battle of Busan City, the shells may be lost, so it is necessary to do a good job in naval warfare and enter the era of blooming bombs. After all, European technology has been advancing, and industrial capabilities have also improved because of steam engines. This relatively primitive The fuze can still be imitated after a year or two of research.

So he's going to build now the blooming shells to defend against this kind of shells, to maintain the advantage in naval battles, because for him an easy victory over the Europeans to seize and occupy their colonies requires at least raising the level of industry to the level of World War I.

I will supervise the construction of the iron armor. You only need to add a layer of iron armor to the warship. Xiao Ming said, Zhang Liang's son has been studying shipbuilding in Qingzhou, and now he has returned to Dengzhou, this technology should not be a problem for them.

Yes, Your Majesty. Zhang Liang wiped the sweat on his forehead. The development of technology in the Great Yu Kingdom is too fast. Often, a new technology is just mastered, and a new technology is used.

It is also not easy to be responsible for the construction of warships in the Great Yu Kingdom.

This time Xiao Ming came to explain Zhang Liang's matter. After visiting the shipyard for a day, he and Yang Chengye returned to Dengzhou.

The next day, he and a group of officials came to Dengzhou Station again, and they would return to Qingzhou by locomotive.

Father, Dengzhou is really fun, can I come again in the future? Xiao Yi by the car window looked out a little reluctantly. Taking advantage of his patrol time, the little guy, led by Fei Yue'er and others, looked at the sea and ate again. Lots of good stuff.

Rubbing Xiao Yi's head, he said, Of course you can, but you have to study hard.

Xiao Yi nodded obediently when he heard the words.

Woooo...

The familiar whistle sounded again, and the locomotive began to accelerate slowly. Six hours later, the locomotive arrived in Qingzhou.

When they got off the locomotive, the officials were filled with emotion. Now they finally realized the terrible transportation capacity of steam locomotives. With the railway, factories will bloom all over the country without being limited by resources.

At this time, Xiao Ming, who got off the locomotive, turned his eyes to the south, and the civil war in the Great Yu Kingdom should also begin.
