Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 299 The Future
Military equipment city, shipyard.

25 huge building boats and gunboats are neatly arranged on the waterway of the dock, and thousands of craftsmen are constantly busy on them. The scene is really grand and spectacular.

These dragon tooth battleships have entered the final assembly stage, and they are about to be completed.

However, there was no excitement and excitement on Taichang's face.

Because he already has a higher pursuit!

At this moment, it is not uncommon for Ming to build 25 buildings and gunboats at one time, which is a normal level.

This level is nothing to be proud of, at least the Dutch shipbuilding capabilities are stronger than the current Ming, and even Britain and France are not necessarily inferior to Ming at the moment.

He still needs to be a little more daring, and his steps need to be a little bigger!
Daming obviously possesses technology far beyond this era, but it has not reached the level far beyond that of other countries in the world. What is there to be proud of?
Taichang secretly sighed in his heart, and then asked lightly: "Liangfu, how long do you think it will take for this batch of Longya warships to be completed?"

Wang Zheng said rather helplessly: "Originally, this batch of Longya battleships will be almost completed by the end of the month, but the supply of artillery is really not enough, so we have to wait at least a month."

He is not very interested at the moment, because the progress of the Dragon Tooth Battleship has been delayed, and his rhetoric of completing it in nine months did not come true.

Of course, this is not his fault.

Seeing his appearance, Taichang couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, Liangfu, anyway, the Dutch have already been driven away. It's no big deal for these dragon-tooth warships to be late."

The emperor has already said so, what else is there to worry about.

Wang Zheng said in embarrassment: "It's a good thing there was nothing wrong, otherwise my minister would be unforgivably guilty."

Taichang shook his head slightly, and then asked Sun Yuanhua: "Chuyang, the Cannon Factory is now trying its best to manufacture [-]-jin Thor cannons. How many cannons can it make in a month?"

Sun Yuanhua was a little ashamed and said: "The emperor forgives the crime, I really didn't expect the demand for artillery to suddenly increase so much. At this moment, the cannon factory is working hard day and night and can make up to [-] guns in a month. A medium Thor cannon."

Wang Zheng and Sun Yuanhua cannot be blamed for these, because he transferred the thousands of cannons.

Taichang smiled slightly and said: "Okay, you don't need to blame yourself, this matter has nothing to do with you. You all clean up and go back to Beijing with me later."

what?
Wang Zheng couldn't help pointing at the 25 unfinished dragon tooth warships and said, "Your Majesty, if we go back, what will happen to these dragon tooth warships?"

Taichang shook his head slightly and smiled: "Didn't you say that you have to wait for more than a month to finish the project? Besides, they won't work without you? Come back with me, I have more important things to tell you Discuss."

There are more important things!

Wang Zheng and Sun Yuanhua were puzzled when they heard the words. They really couldn't figure out what was more important in Daming than the matter of Wubei City right now.

Taichang didn't say anything more, he just waved his hand and asked them to go to prepare, and then led a group of guards to the nearby city wall.

At this moment, the construction of Wubei City has come to an end, at least the more than ten grid cities in the south have been completed.

All the craftsmen also had their own jobs, and they all went to work in factories or sheds, and the whole Gecheng no longer looked messy, and there were people everywhere.

At this time, these important officials from the Ministry of Industry can also go back to Beijing to work on more important things.

The most important thing for Ming Dynasty now is development, rather than rushing to build weapons for war.

Because Daming already had a steam engine, as long as he studied it carefully, he would definitely be able to create more advanced weapons and equipment than now.

And once there are more advanced weapons and equipment these days, it will not be too easy to fight.

It's like the European powers bullying the natives who don't have muskets and artillery, it's easy to crush.

In other words, as long as Ming developed more advanced weapons and equipment, it could also easily crush the Netherlands and Japan.

Therefore, at this time, there is no need for him to be in a hurry to start a fight with others.

Holding up the binoculars on the city wall of Taichang Station and scanning for a while, Wang Zheng, Sun Yuanhua and others were ready.

He didn't say anything, just went down the city wall, boarded the Spike warship specially built for him with a group of important officials from the Ministry of Industry, and headed straight for the capital.

After several months, he finally returned to the capital.

This time should be regarded as the longest time he has been away from Beijing, because he spent too much time suppressing pirates, relocating guards to build the Acropolis, and dealing with the Dutch.

Fortunately, the capital hasn't changed much, almost the same as when he left.

The common people still lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the court officials also performed their duties. Everything was in order and nothing happened at all.

I have to say that Zhu Youxiao, the supervisor of the prince, is really reassuring.

Because he doesn't have any ambitions, and he doesn't have much desire for power. Unlike some princes, no matter whether he can do it or not, he just wants to take power by himself, even if he is messing around.

This kid is a typical technical geek. If it weren't for the prince's responsibility to oversee the country, he probably wouldn't even bother to read the memorial.

Alas, I don't know what will happen to Daming in this kid's hands.

At this moment, the court is in the hands of his promoted cronies, so naturally nothing will happen.

If Daming produces a few treacherous ministers like Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, I don't know if this kid will be able to hold him.

If the territory of Ming Dynasty expands rapidly and the population expands rapidly in the future, I don't know if this kid will be able to control it.

Alas, this kid's ability to govern the country is really worrying!

Taichang took a boat all the way from the North Moat to Jishuitan, then passed Shichahai to Taiye Pool, and finally returned to the imperial city.

At this time, the pier next to Chengguang Hall was already full of people, not only Prince Zhu Youxiao and other court ministers came, but even imperial concubine Wu Wan'er was waiting there with her big belly.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help walking up to the pier, hastily raised his hand and ordered everyone to avoid the customary ceremony, and then went up to support Wu Wan'er's arm and said with concern: "Wan'er, why did you come here? What can I do if I miss it?"

Wu Wan'er was still naive and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm not too fat to walk anymore, my mother said, it's good to walk more. Besides, I'm not the only one who is pregnant, you see Didn't they all come one by one?"

Well, in fact, there are still a few concubines who are already pregnant, but their bellies are not as obvious as Wu Waner's.

Taichang felt that he shouldn't favor one person over another, he was just stunned for a moment, and then walked over to express his condolences one by one.

At the end of the condolences, he realized that the Crown Princess Zhang was also standing there shyly with her belly out!

This little girl is also happy!

He couldn't help being surprised and said: "Yun'er, when did you get pregnant, why don't you let the principal tell me."

This princess is not from a commoner background like other queens and princesses, she has a prominent background.

She is Zhang Miaoyun, the younger sister of Zhang Miaoling and Zhang Zhiji.

Taichang also wanted to find a strong support for the prince Zhu Youxiao, so he persuaded his precious son to marry Qianjin from the British government to be the prince concubine.

After all, the nobles are basically related to the country. If the Ming Dynasty is over, these honorables will basically be over, and the British public is notorious for knowing the general and being able to behave.

Of course, he didn't force his precious son to marry a woman he didn't like.

This piece of Miao Yun is actually quite beautiful, and her personality is similar to Zhang Miaoling's, which is quite interesting.

Zhu Youxiao also liked the princess very much.

No, Zhang Miaoyun was still standing there shyly and embarrassed to speak, Zhu Youxiao explained with a smile: "Father, son, I am worried that you will be distracted by the battle outside, Yun'er is actually pregnant with four or five It's been a month."

OK!

Hurry up and give me the whole grandson.

I'm afraid there is not much hope for your character, I might as well train my grandson well!

At this moment, Taichang felt that Daming's future was full of hope.

After all, if there is no son, there are still grandchildren.
