Daming reckless man

Chapter 659

Jiajing and the ministers were shocked when they saw such a huge warship.

They did not expect to see such a huge warship.

Especially Zhang Rong, he didn't expect that his son was so capable, not to mention whether these warships could float in the sea, it was very difficult to build them.

"Your Majesty, this way please!" Zhang Hao led the way, leading Jiajing to the front.

Soon, they arrived under a battleship that was about to be built, and began to climb the mysterious ladder and walked into the battleship. Jiajing was extremely shocked at the moment. No wonder King Yu was very excited when he heard that he was coming to Tangshan. Seeing this The battleship, who is not excited.

After Jiajing boarded the battleship, he found that the deck of the battleship was very large, and it was all made of iron.

"Zhang Hao, is this also made of iron?" Jiajing stomped his foot and asked.

"Yes, they are all made of iron. However, in order to reduce the weight, there is also wood inside. Your Majesty, I will show you!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing with a smile, and then he went to the ship's berth. There is also glass installed on the berth, so you can see Know what's going on outside.

"Good boy, the construction is really good!" Jiajing said with emotion.

The other ministers also nodded frequently, and then walked into the cabin. On the first floor, all the cannons had been installed.

"Your Majesty, look, these are cannons. Our warships will be attacked with cannons in the future, not with bows and arrows as before. Of course, we also have bows and arrows, which are used to prevent the enemy from landing on the warships!" Zhang Hao Said to Jiajing.

Jiajing walked up to those cannons, touched them, and then said to Zhang Hao: "I am very satisfied with these, now I just want to know, can it float and walk?"

"Hey, you'll know later, don't worry, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hao said with a proud smile.

"You boy!" Jiajing pointed at Zhang Hao with a smile, and then continued to visit the battleship, including the engine room, and took Jiajing to see it.

Jiajing didn't know what an engine was, but he was very satisfied with the construction inside.

"It's not bad, not bad!" Jiajing kept saying, and those ministers, like curious babies, fumbled here and there. They had never seen such a thing before. It's after hours.

After coming down, the person in charge of the ship came over and waited below.

"Your Majesty, wait for me!" They all knelt down.

"Thanks for your hard work everyone!" Jiajing walked over quickly, helped them up personally, and touched the hands of those people, and found that their hands were very rough. They were officials, and they obviously worked here.

"As for your rewards, I will announce them in two days. You have worked hard, and you have done a good job in helping Marquis Lu An. I will reward you, and I will not begrudge you!" Jiajing said to them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't dare to be greedy for credit!" The people in charge said to Zhang Hao.

"It's really hard work for you. It's not easy to build a solid line of defense for our Daming sea here!" Jiajing said with emotion, and the other ministers also nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Those people said again, clasping their hands.

"Zhang Hao, what should we watch next?" Jiajing asked Zhang Hao.

"The battleship is launching, today, a battleship is going to be launched!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"Oh." When Jiajing heard this, he became interested. He had been worried about whether these warships would float. Now that Zhang Hao said that the warships were launched, Jiajing was of course interested.

"Go, take a look!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao smiled and led them to the front, along the way, many workers were cheering.

Jiajing was also very happy and waved to those workers.

Jiajing was very grateful to those workers. If it weren't for them, these warships would not have been built.

Soon, Jiajing and the others came to a huge battleship, below, there were three naval generals, the guerrilla general Chen Zhengqing and two commanders Zhao Xian and Zhang Lihe.

"The last general, Chen Zhengqing!"

"The last general, Zhao Xian!"

"The last general Zhang Lihe!"

"See Your Majesty!" The three of them knelt down on one knee when they saw Jiajing approaching, and said with cupped hands.

"Please, this time Zhang Hao said that you guys did the launching of the battleship?" Jiajing went to support them and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, let's go into the water and leave it to our navy. Our navy needs to organize soldiers and be familiar with the operation and tactics of warships!" Chen Zhengqing said to Jiajing.

"That's good, when will it start?" Jiajing continued to ask.

"Waiting for His Majesty's order!" Chen Zhengqing said, cupping his hands.

"Then start!" Jiajing said.

"Yes!" Chen Zhengqing immediately bowed his hands, and then the two commanders boarded the battleship. They needed to operate on it, and Chen Zhengqing needed to accompany Jiajing below.

Soon, the dock began to be filled with water, and the water level was getting higher and higher. Jiajing and the others also heard the creaking sound, which was the sound of the battleship starting to float.

As the water level of the water injection got higher and higher, all the warships floated up.

"It's floating, can it really float?"

"Can iron float?"

"How is this done?"

All the officials looked at the battleship in shock, and then they saw a small boat approaching, dragging the battleship and starting to go outside.

"Why do you have to drag it with a small boat? Will it be the same in the future?" Jiajing asked.

"No, the dock is too narrow, and the battleship is not easy to move. After all, if it hits somewhere, it will be bad, so it needs to be dragged out with a small boat, and then started outside!" Zhang Hao explained to Jiajing.

"Well, good!" Jiajing nodded and continued to watch.

When the battleship was dragged out of the dock, there was a large surface of water outside, and then the roar of the engine was heard, and the chimney on the battleship began to smoke.

"Your Majesty, the battleship has started!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"Yeah!" Jiajing nodded, and then saw the boat let go of those cables, the soldiers on it retracted those cables, and then heard three whistles.

"Such a loud voice?" Jiajing said with emotion when he heard it.

Then Jiajing found that the battleship was moving, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and then saw the battleship began to turn in the distance and drive fast.

"Okay!" I don't know who shouted "Hello", and then all the officials also shouted "Hello", and then applauded excitedly.

Jiajing was also very excited, these warships were much faster than people rowing, and they were so big, the pressure was enough to make those pirates terrified.

"Zhang Hao, you've done a good job, Chen Zhengqing, you've done a good job too! Let's go to visit the navy in the afternoon, right?" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao and Chen Zhengqing who were beside him.

"Yes, visit the navy in the afternoon and watch the drill!" Zhang Hao nodded immediately.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to it!" Jiajing said happily, and then Zhang Hao took Jiajing to the cafeteria here, and all the officials here participated.

When Jiajing brought the ministers to the cafeteria, all the officials stood up.

"Your Majesty, these are the officials who built the warship here. All of them add up to more than 300 people, all of whom are skilled. The construction of the warship depends entirely on them!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing from the side.

"Okay, okay, hard work!" Jiajing nodded with a smile, and then walked among the officials.

Those officials bowed their hands to Jiajing one after another, and Jiajing also went to support them, feeling very excited!

These people are the guarantee of the strength of the Ming Dynasty. With them, there will be iron-clad warships. With such warships, who would dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty?

Jiajing chatted with those officials and asked them what difficulties they had. They all said no. The salaries here are very high. In addition to the salaries given by the court, they will also give another salary. They are already very satisfied.

Jiajing said it should be, it is so difficult here, of course it needs more money.

After lunch at the cafeteria, head to the navy.

The place where the navy is stationed is not far from here, less than [-] miles away, and the other side is already ready, just waiting for Jiajing to pass.

When Jiajing left the boat workshop, all the workers came over to see him off.

Jiajing told Zhang Hao that this month, they will be given double their salaries.

After Zhang Hao announced the news to those workers, those workers were even more grateful.

Then Jiajing got into the carriage, and those ministers also hurried into the carriage, feeling extremely shocked in their hearts.

Now they know why Jiajing trusts Zhang Hao so much. No one has Zhang Hao's ability, and Zhang Hao is loyal to Jiajing. How can Jiajing not like it?

But Zhang Hao still rode beside Jiajing.

"Manzi, you did a really good job, beyond my imagination, not bad!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Hey, Your Majesty, tell me, is the money worth it?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing proudly and said.

"It's worth it, it's worth it!" Jiajing nodded and said happily.

"Your Majesty, these warships will bring us great benefits in the future. What are those Japanese pirates? In the future, as long as the warships can reach, it will be the territory of our Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Hao said very proudly.

"Hahaha good! good! I hope so too, Japanese pirates, I don't worry anymore, before our warships couldn't travel far and couldn't find their lair, but we have such a warship, can we be afraid of them? We found them Let alone killing them, scaring them to death!" Jiajing also said very happily.

"That is, what are the Japanese pirates, they will be crushed in the future!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"Well, but now we still need to continue to train sailors. You prepare the memorial, how much money you need, how many people, report it, no matter how much, I will approve it!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao, with ambition in his heart Aspiration, with such strength, what are you afraid of?
