I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"Wang Chaofu, seeing off guests..."

As the words fell, an eunuch appeared at the door of the Nuan Pavilion, smiling and saying:

"please."

The Spanish envoy said quickly: "Your Majesty, please listen to me!"

Zhu Youxiao gave a soft "hmm" and signaled Wang Chaofu not to move for now.

Seeing the latter retreat, the envoy heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I know that there is no need for Ming to sign a military alliance with us now."

"But our country very much hopes to become eternal friends with Daming."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao stopped his movements and asked:

"During the Penghu naval battle, my general said that he saw a huge warship with more than 50 guns on board among the Hongyi warships. You should also know about this kind of warship."

The Spanish envoy was taken aback for a moment and said:

"I know, this is a type of rudimentary sailing battleship, and we don't have this kind of technology. Now only the Netherlands, Venice and other countries can build battleships."

"Yeah, it can't be made." Zhu Youxiao glanced at him.

Zhu Youxiao naturally knows that at this time, the Spanish Armada still uses the Galen battleship as the main battleship.

But the sailing battleship has appeared in the west, and began to slowly replace the Galen warship in naval battles.

The broadside naval battle is becoming the mainstream tactic in future naval battles. In future naval battles, the outcome will not be determined by the number of warships.

That is to say, there will only be fewer and fewer battles that allow you to seize the opportunity to win the battle like today. If you don't make progress in time, you will only be eliminated by the tide of the great voyage.

Once the sailing battleship officially becomes the main battleship of the West, there will not be enough ships in the Ming Dynasty for a round of bombardment.

Even the lowest-ranked fourth-tier sailing battleship like the Queen has an astonishing more than 50 guns, four or five times that of the Fuchuan!

Just imagine, what a spectacular scene it would be if five sailing battleships fired at the broadside and hundreds of cannons spit out flames together!

The treasure ship can be compared to the existence of a first-class super battleship, and it is even much larger than a super battleship.

Daming couldn't let go of this huge opportunity.

"You can't make it. Daming can, and it used to be..." Zhu Youxiao said a sentence that shocked the Dutch envoy.

"What did your Majesty say?" The Spanish envoy's eyes widened. "We can't even build a battleship with sails, but Ming can?"

While speaking, he even forgot the irony in his words just now.

"Daming's treasure ship is much stronger than sailing battleships." Zhu Youxiao didn't care, sneered, and sighed:

"It's just that there are no blueprints for this kind of warship, and now even Daming doesn't have them."

"It's not impossible to sign a military agreement, but I want to see your sincerity." After finishing speaking, Zhu Youxiao looked at the Spanish envoy in front of him with a face that you knew what he meant.

Chapter 677 The Second Southern Tour

"I also know something about naval battles. It's nothing more than that you can win with a big ship, many guns, and great power. After signing the military alliance agreement, I hope that you Francobots can share real technology with Daming."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youxiao stared at the front with burning eyes.

The Spanish envoy was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand a little bit, "What does His Majesty mean... is that we want us to build a shipyard in Daming to help Daming build Galen warships?"

"No, I don't use your boat, we have our own." Zhu Youxiao shook his head slightly.

Foreigners are still not as transparent as domestic courtiers in understanding things like Shangyi, and it seems that they will be straightforward when talking to them from now on.

save trouble!

"My admiral said that during the Penghu naval battle, the Dutch warships were more maneuverable than our Fuchuan in the open sea. I want to know if it is because of their new sails."

"If it is, I hope you Franji will hand over this technology to the shipwright of the Armament Department, so that we can be self-sufficient instead of buying it all the time."

Zhu Youxiao simply closed the memorial and said straight to the point:

"In addition to maneuverability, the Galen ship is not as big as the Fuchuan, but the ship's guns are twice as many as the Fuchuan. We also need to know the reason and modify the Fuchuan accordingly."

Wang Chaofu, who was in charge outside the office, was also surprised when he heard this.

Since the emperor came to the throne, it was the first time for him to speak directly, without beating around the bush.

In fact, this is also true, this Frangji is not a courtier of Daming, and the technique of controlling subordinates may not have any effect on them at all.

The Spanish envoy understood quickly this time, and he quickly said:

"We already have a large royal shipyard in Manila, and we have no choice but to build a second shipyard in the Far East."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said:

"Anyway, that's what I mean. Since you want to sign an alliance, you can't let you take all the benefits. There must be some sincerity."

"If the Franji people don't even have this sincerity, how can I be sure that you can abide by this covenant during wartime?"

"The life of the officers and men of the Great Ming Navy is also life. Your life is no more precious than ours."

The Spanish envoy recognized the importance Zhu Youxiao said, and hurriedly saluted, saying: "Your Majesty the Emperor is above me, and my servants must tell His Majesty our country these words."

"May Ming and the Spanish Empire form an alliance and make good friends."

Zhu Youxiao gave a "hmm" and said:

"Go down, I still have state affairs to deal with."

"Resignation, my servant..." The Spanish envoy saluted again, and when he went down, Chao Fucai approached, pinched his shoulders, and said:

"Master, wouldn't it be cheaper for those Franji people?"

"The control of the southeast waters was won by the imperial navy, and they did not lose a single soldier or ship."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, leaned behind him, and said:

"The Bugarao Cannon Factory, the best cannon factory in the Far East, will not be their own until the shipyard of the Franc Robots is built along the coast of Daming."

"The southeast sea is in my hands. As long as you want to continue doing business, Philip IV has to obediently admit it."

"The life of Francine Country is not easy now. Our finances have been slowed down, but they are still far from it. This is the face I gave Philip, and he has to take it."

Wang Chaofu looked suddenly enlightened, and he didn't know if he understood everything. He only heard him say with a charming smile:

"The emperor is indeed wise, and the servants respect him."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and said with a smile:

"You are simply a roundworm in my heart."

Zhu Youxiao is very concerned about the issue of shipbuilding.

After arriving in Fujian under the imperial decree, there was a wave of turmoil among the generals. Many people couldn't figure out why they had to talk about their mistakes after winning the battle.

As soon as this memorial was uploaded, wouldn't it be the emperor's handle?

But in the end, the words of Fujian General Soldier Yu Zizao made many people feel relieved. Regardless of whether you appear in this memorial or not, the imperial court will do you if it wants to do you?

If the emperor really wanted to do it again, he would not have decreed it like this.

Obviously, the emperor was warning them not to be overly happy. After all, this victory was not very smooth, and they needed to plan ahead and improve their mistakes.

As soon as these enlightening words were uttered, everyone was completely convinced.

Soon, the generals of Fujian and Denglai who led the troops in the Penghu naval battle were sent to the Forbidden City one after another, under Zhu Youxiao's nose.

Zhu Youxiao put down the memorabilia written by Shen Yourong, the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou, and sighed:

"It's worthy of being the general who defended the imperial court against the Japanese. His book can be said to have touched my heart."

With the emperor's acquiescence, Chao Fu moved his head over to take a quick look.

"Master, Deng Shuai wants to resign..."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and nodded.

In this memorial, Shen Yourong said that he was lucky that he had no faults in this battle, how dare he expect meritorious service?

What's more, the Dengzhou camp suffered huge losses, and spent millions of money and food from the court over the years, but in exchange for such a result, although the world heard of the great victory and peace, it made him feel uncomfortable.

The height, size, and number of personnel of the Dutch battleship are not comparable to the Fuchuan, but the number of shipboard guns and the maneuverability in the deep sea are far superior to the Fuchuan in any aspect.

The Daming Navy still has a long way to go to truly defeat them in the deep sea, but he can't see that day.

At the end of the memorial, Shen Yourong, the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou, formally resigned and begged to be adopted.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the seat and asked:

"How old is Shen Yourong this year?"

Wang Chaofu said: "Your Majesty, I'm over seventy. Before this victory, Deng Shuai had been ordered to take care of him in the Wanli Dynasty."

Zhu Youxiao thought so deeply, and said:

"It's because there is no one in my Ming navy, so I let such a veteran go into battle again, and lead the navy to go out!"

"It seems that it is necessary to set up a navy branch in Shuntian Martial Arts Academy. Tell the cabinet to arrange this matter properly and report to me."

Wang Chaofu nodded, seeing that the emperor was about to get up, he quickly asked:

"Master, are you going back to Kunning Palace?"

Zhu Youxiao laughed, turned around and said:

"Kunning Palace?"

"No, I want to go to Tianjin first. In the future, the shipyard of Frangji will be in Tianjin. I will go to see it, and then I will go to Denglai to see the soldiers of my Daming Denglai Navy."

Wang Chaofu was taken aback for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Emperor Tianqi had already walked to the gate of Qianqing, and hurriedly chased after him.

……

The news of Zhu Youxiao's southern tour quickly spread to every street and alley in the capital.

This time is the same as before, it is a formal southern tour.

After Zhu Youxiao made the decision, he arranged the positions of the six departments in Beijing, then issued an imperial edict to publicize it, and finally set off five days later.

As for the escort mission, Chen Ce led the Yongwei Battalion to accompany him throughout the journey.

Chapter 678 Promotion of Tianjin Chief Soldier

On the way to Tianjin, Chen Ce was riding on the horse, wondering:

"Your Majesty is also strange. If you don't have a car, you don't want to ride there, so you insist on riding with us?"

"What do you know? This is called sharing suffering with the people. No, it's loving soldiers like sons!" Wang Chaofu followed him on horseback and said:

"My lord, I don't shoot less on weekdays, and I always talk about the past when I personally conquered the Southwest."

Chen Ce recalled, and said:

"Your Majesty is really brave. I remember hacking to death a Tusi rebel army with my own hands, but speaking of it, it was my dereliction of duty."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty has nothing to do. Forget it, let's not mention this matter. General Chen, governor of the Emperor's Imperial Army, is doing well these days!"

"I heard that many generals of the Yongwei Battalion were assigned to the local guards to lead the troops?"

Chao Fuyan laughed at Yan Yan, the meaning of which is probably clear.

"Since the reorganization of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion, many people from the Yongwei Battalion and the Martial Arts Academy have indeed gone to various places to take charge of the army."

"These people are good at leading troops, and they obey His Majesty's orders. The situation is slowly improving!"

Chen Ce could naturally hear other meanings in Wang Chaofu's words. After watching him for a while, he laughed and said:

"Speaking of which, there used to be three chief soldiers in the Yongwei Battalion, and now I am the only governor. Huang Degong has gone to Jiangnan Camp. How do you say my life is now?"

"Our family understands..." Wang Chaofu looked at him and smiled.

Afterwards, both of them looked at Emperor Tianqi who was riding a horse in the distance.

In the setting sun, the golden armor is shining brightly, and the somewhat heroic back is enough to make people awe-inspiring.

Many people sighed, how long has it been since Daming had such an emperor?

……

Along the way, Zhu Youxiao tried to be as simple as possible.

The noisy Tian Ziyi should have brought it with him, but under Zhu Youxiao's insistence, the Ministry of Rites had to give in.
