King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

On the warship.

Wang Qianfu walked in the front with a slightly hunched back, introducing everything on the warship to the three people from time to time, and pointing out to them that the warship had a tight structure and absolutely no problems could occur. Once a problem occurred, it would endanger the safety of the entire warship. He led the three people to check one place at a time.

As we walked along the road, we could smell the gunpowder filling the entire ship, and the white smoke that had not yet dissipated in some places.

Whether it is the ship's beam or the hull frame.

After several people inspected and observed, they did not find anything unusual.

Despite the violent tremor just now, it did not cause any adverse impact on the safety of the entire warship. Everything remained the same as it should be.

Seeing this situation, seeing everything in front of me.

Even though Zhu Gaoxu was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but look shocked.

He really never dreamed that without using a whole wooden beam and still adopting the anchoring form, it would be possible for such a huge warship to withstand the vibration caused by the simultaneous firing of dozens of cannons without any problems with the hull.

He couldn't help but admire the wisdom and ability of the current craftsmen from the bottom of his heart.

It is really outstanding.

After solving this problem, it can be said that the warships currently manufactured by the Ming Dynasty can now be truly called the strongest in the world. I am afraid that in this era, no one in the entire sea can match them and pose any threat to them.

In a true sense, it satisfied Zhu Gaoxu's expectations for warships in the current environment.

After a brief moment of daze, Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at the Crown Prince and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui who were still in a daze, with disdain on his face, and asked with a smile:

"Boss, Third Brother"

"I don't know, what do you think of the warships now?"

"Can I please you two? Can I satisfy you two?"

Zhu Gaochi: "!!!!!!"

Zhu Gaosui: "????"

When asked this question, a hint of embarrassment flashed across their faces, and their cheeks turned slightly red.

What does it mean to be able to catch their eyes?
What does it mean to satisfy them?
Please
How could they not be satisfied with the warship in front of them, which was so sturdy and equipped with powerful cannons? How could it not catch their eyes?

For the two men, the warship in front of them completely overturned their understanding of ordinary warships.

To know.

Although the Ming Dynasty warships were built, they were huge and magnificent.

To the surrounding countries, it is a completely crushing existence.

However, compared with the past, their combat methods were still extremely primitive. Regardless of whether they were fighting at sea or on the canal, they almost all used primitive weapons such as bows and arrows, muskets, etc., combined with a series of combat methods similar to land warfare, such as using large ships to restrain small boats from colliding, using the number of ships to defeat the minority to encircle and crush, boarding ships for close combat, etc.

In this way, the enemy can be annihilated and crushed.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty was still able to win and defeat the others.

After all, in the past, true victory required landing on other people’s warships.

The two armies fought and attacked the territory held by the other.

The casualties and material losses caused by such a primitive way of fighting were also extremely frightening.

And now
The warships now directly pulled up the cannons.

This will allow them to make great changes to their previous combat methods.

With cannons and without worrying about the endurance of the warships, multiple rounds of cannon fire can be carried out. In this way, there is no need to engage in close combat with the enemy. After entering the cannon's range at a certain distance, the cannon can be used to bombard the enemy fiercely.

Once there are enough projectiles to hit the enemy warships, even if you don't engage in close combat with them, you can just watch the enemy warships sink into the water.

It is entirely possible to defeat the enemy without fighting.

It can be imagined that after facing such a terrifying warship, the enemy’s desire to fight against the Ming Dynasty would be extinguished in an instant.

after all
The power of cannons and the damage they bring are enough to make people afraid and terrified. Besides, warships are all made of wood. How many enemy warships can withstand cannon bombardment and not sink?

In this world, I'm afraid it doesn't exist at all until now!

More than that.

When visiting the interior of the cabin before, Wang Qianfu had introduced how the cannons were fixed and arranged. Although these cannons were fixed on the warship, once the naval battle was over and land combat was needed, these fixed cannons could be dismantled at any time without causing any impact on the entire hull.

I'm crazy.
This is absolutely, a bug.

Then, Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but think of his later expedition to Japan. Then he looked at the warships in front of him, as well as the improvements and conveniences on the ship. His eyes had become hot without him knowing when.

With this thing, you can imagine.

By then, his chances of victory in his expedition to Japan would have increased many times without him realizing it.

Although he had not yet actually set out on an expedition and had not yet truly fought against the Japanese bandits, at this moment, Zhu Gaosui seemed to be looking at the glorious record of his leading the troops in battle, as well as the huge silver mines on the Japanese bandits' homeland, like a young girl who he could pick at will, waving at him happily.

After a brief silence, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui came back to their senses. They looked at each other subconsciously and shook their heads at the same time:
"No, no, no objection."

"Very satisfied, very satisfied."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and asked with excitement on his face:

"Second child"

"This time when we go to Japan, the warships we bring with us should all be built in the same way and equipped with the same weapons as this warship, right?"

Say it.

He stared at Zhu Gaoxu with eagerness, waiting for an accurate answer.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu glared at him with disdain, and a hint of intrigue appeared at the corner of his slightly raised mouth, and he said with a smile:

"Lao San"

"Weren't you dissatisfied with the warship in front of you just now?"

"Aren't you worried? This is a trap I deliberately dug for you, trying to push you into the endless abyss?"

"so."

"I was originally going to give it to you, but think about it. Your worries and concerns are not without reason. The warships in front of us may look very attractive, but they are new things after all. As the saying goes: don't be afraid of ten thousand, be prepared for the worst."

"What if something unpredictable happens?"

"As the leader, how can I bear such a huge blame?"

"By then I'm afraid my pants will be soaked in mud and my crotch will become shit."

"There is absolutely no way to explain it, and I'm afraid no one will believe my explanation."

"For this reason, for your sake and for everyone else's sake, I think you should stop using these new gadgets so that everyone can feel at ease."

"Although the previous warships were not equipped with cannons, their power may be greatly reduced, but at least they can guarantee safety, right?"

"It's good for everyone." "Old Third, don't you think so?"

Zhu Gaosui: “!!!!!!”

No?

This bastard! !

Are you just saying this here to disgust him?
Is this the legendary karma?
If you ignore me today, I will make it impossible for you to reach me tomorrow.

The boomerang that Dele had just thrown out returned and hit him on the head in less than half an hour.

Regarding this matter, thinking about the things he had said, Zhu Gaosui really wanted to slap himself hard in the face a few times.

If he had known this would be the case, he would never have said such a thing even if he was beaten to death.

Is it okay this time?

It's like a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis and unable to express his suffering.

What can I do?
Can Zhu Gaoxu be blamed?
Obviously it is impossible.

He can only blame himself, blame himself for not being calm enough. He didn't even understand the situation clearly, but he just jumped up and down and started to curse everyone from top to bottom, offending others badly.

Thinking of this, although Zhu Gaosui was extremely unwilling and did not want to bow his head, he had to lower his head at this moment, and then simply sorted out his emotions, with a slightly embarrassed and flushed cheek, and a flattering smile, he admitted his mistake:
"hey hey"

"Lao Er Lao Er"

"We can't say that. It's not allowed to say that!"

"Before, didn't we not know and understand it clearly?"

"this is not"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and interrupted him: "Third brother, you mean that this matter is still my fault. It was me who did not explain it clearly to you and did not test-fire it for you to see when you came?"

Zhu Gaosui's face changed when he heard this. He was filled with rage, but he did not dare to vent it. He could only suppress it forcefully, shook his head quickly, and said with a smile:

“No, no, no.”

"How could it be your fault?"

"This matter, this matter is my fault, it's my fault."

"I am judging others by my own standards."

"Don't bother with me about this. I know I was wrong. It's my fault for being mean."

"Is that all right?"

As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui was afraid that his weight was not enough and that he could not calm Zhu Gaoxu down. He turned to look at the silent prince and said hurriedly:
"hey hey"

"Boss, boss, my good brother, my good brother!"

"Let's not just sit back and watch the show, let's sit back and watch the tigers fight."

"Hurry up and help me put in some good words, help me persuade the second brother!"

"I, I, don't I realize my mistakes?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"You know, there are huge silver mines in Japan. If we take over the huge silver mines in Japan, what will it mean to our entire Ming Dynasty? What kind of benefits will it bring? Don't you know it in your heart?"

"Once you have a warship like this, equipped with so many cannons."

"The little Japanese bandits can be wiped out in the blink of an eye."

Looking at Prince Zhao who was in a panic in front of him, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu who had a very unhappy face.

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment and realized that he could not just stand by and watch what was happening. He had to step out to smooth things over. After all, he knew Zhu Gaoxu very well.

Don't look at this guy, he seems to speak casually.

But this bastard is definitely a man who can do what he says.

Not to mention, even for the current warship, he asked the shipbuilding craftsmen below to restore the third brother to its original appearance. He is actually capable of doing such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself.

and.
If he really did that, even if he reported the matter to the old man and asked everyone to judge, given Zhu Gaoxu's unruly character, it might be that others would not be able to find any fault with him.

At that time, others only need to stick to one thing: there is not enough time to experiment with new things, so it is better to be safe than sorry. Everything is for safety, for the safety of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, and for the safety of Zhu Gaosui.

After all, we are out in the vast ocean, with no village in sight and no shop nearby. If something uncontrollable happens, no one can take the responsibility.

Who can say anything?
Who can find the truth?
If anyone dared to stand up and argue about this matter, others would retort that if there was a problem with the warship because of this, it would lead to the death of King Zhao or the Ming soldiers in the sea, or they would become prisoners of the Japanese pirates.

Whoever can take on this responsibility will come forward to challenge the issue.

Who would dare to say a word then?

If it were just the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it might not be a big deal. But if it involves Zhu Gaosui's safety, life or death, who would be brave enough to guarantee it?

Nothing happens, nothing good will come of it.

But if any accident happens, who can withstand the wrath of Emperor Yongle?
There is absolutely no benefit in doing something that also carries huge risks. Unless you are a fool, you will never stand up and do it.

Everyone in the court is smart, no one is stupid.

Don’t think that when there is an advantage, they will break their heads and try to get in. But once there is no benefit and they have to take risks, those bastards will definitely run away and hide faster than anyone else.

That's it.

After a long while, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh and said:
"hey hey"

"Okay, second brother, third brother"

"We're almost done."

"In this matter, it is indeed the third brother's fault. As the elder brother, I can't always treat everything the same as the younger brother."

"Besides, he has already admitted his mistake."

"Look, why don't we just let this go and let it go?"

While speaking, Zhu Gaochi could not help but glare at Zhu Gaosui fiercely and scolded:
"The third child! The third child!"

"We are all grown up."

"We are all brothers, we are all dear friends. When you encounter something, don't always think the worst of others, as if the whole world is out to harm you. Isn't it shameful? Doesn't it hurt and chill the hearts of others?"

"Also, we must have the attitude to admit our mistakes."

"How can such a light and flirtatious sentence reflect your sincerity?"

"Tonight, let's set up a table and apologize to the second brother. Is that okay?"

Afterwards, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu again and said with a smile: "Second brother, is this arrangement okay?" (End of this chapter)
