Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Of course, there is currently no shadow of the aircraft carrier.

Although Xu Zhengming has already begun to tinker with installing an internal combustion engine into his "栠栳chair"...

However, the dream of flying is still just a dream.

When Xu Zhengming launches a real aircraft, the Ming aircraft carrier project will be put on the agenda.

……

Zhu Youjian took the new ship south this time for the purpose of inspecting the new ship.

In the command room, Zhu Youjian looked at the wide deck and pondered for a long time.

The bow of the ship is equipped with a steam-driven twin cannon, which is thick enough to fit a watermelon into it.

Three such artillery pieces were arranged along the central axis.

There are some smaller artillery pieces around the sides of the ship.

These artillery pieces are all rear-mounted rapid-fire cannons.

There are all kinds of artillery, large and small, adding up, there are no less than [-] cannons on a battleship!

This does not include the new version of "Swarm of Bees" and the new version of "Hundred Tigers Running Together" in the arsenal that can be pulled out at any time...

This thing has been upgraded to the first generation "Katyusha".

When I really encountered a Western wooden ship, I just pulled one out and killed several Western-style sailing ships without the need for artillery.

Towards the stern of the ship, there are two latest fire dragon water ejection devices.

The Ming missile was improved in the hands of Bi Maokang and regained its vitality...

Slightly ahead of the Ming Emperor on the left side of the ship, on the leading battleship, Hao Yaoqi was grinning from time to time.

The loud laughter makes people's scalp numb...

……

Zhu Youjian took a new boat and went to Gucheng.

Gucheng is surrounded by Daba Mountain and a wide Han River, turning Gucheng into a desert.

As long as the river defense is defended, such a place will naturally become a war fortress.

As early as last spring, Ming Dynasty's military manufacturing began to gradually move to Gucheng.

At this time, Gucheng has become the largest military manufacturing area around Handu.

In the small alleys on both sides of the main road, you can see workers driving four-wheeled steam cars at any time, with red steel billets emitting smoke from the cars.

On the road inlaid with bluestone slabs, rows of straight rails extend to the factory area in the distance.

On both sides of the alley, there are three- and four-story buildings built with red bricks, and the glass windows reflect the brilliance of the sun.

The overhanging cliffs silently tell the romance unique to China.

Under the eaves, jars containing pickled vegetables were piled up.

The green mountains are far away.

It's like a beautiful painting!

The scene in front of him made four big words swirl in Zhu Youjian's mind - "Steampunk."

The towering chimneys are spraying black smoke, and the sound of rumbling punches can be heard all the time.

Such a scene can only be described as steampunk.

"This is my big time!"

Zhu Youjian murmured softly.

"what?"

Wang Yongchun, who was driving for him, turned around and said:

"Your Majesty, what did you just say?"

"It's okay, drive your car well."

Zhu Youjian chuckled.

"Okay!"

Wang Zheng smiled and said nothing.

Not only was His Majesty shocked, all of this, even he, the planner who took the lead, was shocked!

After all, the design on the drawing is not as shocking as the finished product!

Military factories do not take holidays during the Chinese New Year.

Workers here can only take turns to celebrate the New Year.

This is not because Zhu Youjian was reluctant to give holidays to the workers in the military factory.

But - the blast furnace cannot be stopped!

Many blast furnaces using refractory bricks cannot be stopped.

In fact, we would rather produce mountains of finished products than shut down the boiler.

Because once the blast furnace stops firing, it will crack, and the cost of repair is almost the same as rebuilding.

It is not just the military factories that have not ceased fire, such as iron smelting plants, cement plants, etc., have not stopped work.

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian's salary was high enough, so no one complained.

Zhu Youjian walked around Gucheng. Everywhere he went, there were half-built foundations.

Because they are all military factories, the workers' wages set by Zhu Youjian are the highest standards among all factories.

When people earn money in factories, they will naturally improve their living conditions.

Three-story buildings rise from the ground on both sides of the wide cement road.

Bright glass windows have become a standard feature in people's homes.

At this time, the people of Gucheng have begun to spread the saying - "The big yellow dog who looks after the gate can also marry a young lady..."

Seeing all this, Zhu Youjian was even more satisfied.

Historically, under dynasty rule, as long as the central government was strong, the country would not be in turmoil.

As long as the area near the capital becomes the most powerful place of science and technology, the people of Ming Dynasty will always love Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Youjian knew very well that as long as Gyeonggi Province was built into the leading place in the country, Ming Dynasty would prosper forever!

Boarding the ship again at Gucheng Pier, Zhu Youjian looked at the Wangfuzhou Workshop just around the corner, but did not take a look.

Here, he basically comes here once a month...

With the Bi Maokang brothers in charge, Zhu Youjian didn't need to take another look.

Zhu Youjian took a steamer south and went straight to the three towns of Wuchang.

In the mighty river, more than a dozen first-generation steam battleships escorted three extremely large battleships, heading straight to the south.

All the way!

Song Yingxing said that construction of the Wuhan Yangtze River Steel Bridge will begin in February this year.

He issued a military order to Emperor Yongsheng - when the five-year period is approaching, the emperor will definitely be allowed to take a steam train and arrive in Hunan!

When Zhu Youjian went to Wuchang, a man was returning.

——Li Yan has been in Wuchang for more than half a year.

He led the royal guards and worked hard for more than 100 days, and finally caught the man behind the scenes and captured hundreds of scholars who slandered Queen Zhang.

In order to solve this matter, Li Yan didn't even go back when his wife Hong Niangzi gave birth!

Just last winter, the red lady gave birth to a big fat boy for him, weighing a full seven pounds!

In this era, this is a very dangerous thing. If you are not careful, it will result in massive bleeding and two lives!

His Majesty even issued a strict order to have Wu Youxing stay at Li's house in person in the days when the Red Lady's delivery was approaching, ready to take over at any time.

Fortunately, mother and son are safe!

On the second day after the child was born, His Majesty the Emperor personally visited the house and gave the newborn baby the name "Li Ping'an".

On the morning of the full moon, His Majesty visited Li's house again and personally gave Li Ping'an a safety lock made of pure gold.

Although the emperor did not have a full-moon banquet at Li's house, he rewarded him with a lot of things again on the third day after the full-moon banquet.

Both the government and the public knew that Li Yan was deeply in the emperor's heart!

The Emperor treats me with kindness, and I will repay the Emperor with sincerity!

On the simple railway, Li Yan was burying the medical records.

The table is full of files.

He is completing the investigative report.

He received the letter from the Red Lady.

At the New Year's court meeting, the emperor made him a viscount, and even made the entire Jeju Island a fiefdom of Li Yan.

Li Yan felt he had no way to repay His Majesty's love.

Li Yan has already set standards for himself - the way he can repay the emperor is to manage the Information Agency better!
