Ye Chunqiu did not expect that Ashikaga Yoshikazu would even ask him this. He could see that Ashikaga Yoshiki was trying to please him, and he didn't feel disgusted. He immediately said: "Water training is a model, so why not just be called a model new army? At that time, all military systems will be similar to the new army in the country. ~ Chinese ~ novels..."

Ashikaga Yoshikita recorded it, and did not say it was good or bad, so he got on the bus.

Model New Army...

Ye Chunqiu watched Ashikaga Yoshikari's carriage go far away, thinking that the name of a model is just right for his own wishes.

Japan was the first step in the foreign policy of Zhenguo Government, or in other words, this was the first attempt by Zhenguo Government to the outside world. It was not only a policy of commerce and a promise to protect the General's Office of the Great General, but even this new army was also the first.

Ye Chunqiu had great expectations for this model. In places with a large population like the West and the East, it is unnecessary to expand territory. After all, to rule such a large population, it is easy to cause invaders to fall into the quagmire. Instead of this, it is better to adopt this system.

So Ye Chunqiu really hopes that Japan will become a model of cooperation with Zhenguo Mansion. Once the Japanese model is established, then there will be a second, third, and fourth...

After seeing Ashikaga Yoshikazu, Ye Chunqiu entered the palace the next day and told Zhu Houzhao everything about it.

Zhu Houzhao's first reaction was surprised and even said with some concern: "Wouldn't you be afraid of raising a tiger if you use a rifle for the Japanese?"

Ye Chunqiu had long thought that the little emperor would ask this question, so he had already prepared to explain it.

"No." Ye Chunqiu said: "I am giving people fish because they have gold and silver, so in the future, most of the expenses of the shogunate will be spent on guns and bullets. In this way, they are powerless in production. The Japanese have always been interested in magic weapons and weapons. If the Zhenguo Mansion does not supply guns and bullets, they will instead sell their money and try their best to obtain the technology of making rifles. They will try their best to open workshops and train craftsmen. Although

These skills are extremely difficult. If you want to master them thoroughly, you cannot make breakthroughs without decades of effort. But once they fight their lives, it is hard to say what will happen in the future. Instead of letting them buy all their resources, it is better to let them build them with all their efforts. Besides, as long as they are willing to buy, it is equivalent to cultivating craftsmen and talents for our Ming Dynasty. Really, prosperous Zhenguo Mansion can make Zhenguo worry-free, hire more people to improve their craftsmanship and constantly accumulate technology. Why not do this?"

After listening to Ye Chunqiu's words, Zhu Houzhao thought it made sense. According to Ye Chunqiu, the Ming Dynasty had more benefits in this matter.

Zhu Houzhao's face finally calmed down a little, and she said, "So that's it. If you think it's feasible, just do it like this. Remember, the bullets from Zhenguo Mansion cannot be sold at a cheap price."

Ye Chunqiu smiled slightly and said, "Of course, with the shopkeeper Sun here, you won't suffer any losses."

Zhu Houzhao stretched, showing a little lazy, and said, "What's going on in Qinhuangdao now? I've been missing for several months. I wonder what progress is going on now?"

The situation in Qinhuangdao almost happened every now and then, so although Ye Chunqiu may not have been to Qinhuangdao for a long time, he probably knew some of the situation and said: "The main facilities of Qinhuangdao have been perfected, lighthouses, ports, and docks, which are all available. Cement roads are now almost the same as Huahuan Island. There are also..."

Ye Chunqiu reported on the situation of Qinhuangdao in a variety of ways. Today, Qinhuangdao has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. Nearly one million taels of silver, the imperial court spent half a year in half and recruited countless skilled craftsmen. It has taken more than half a year. Since ancient times, the ability of this central dynasty's construction project has always been out of the blue. From the Great Wall to the Forbidden City, to the river management, this kind of project of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people can be organized in an orderly manner. The knowledge involved here is not small. It is extremely difficult to organize so many people to work. You must know that the Yuan Dynasty at that time caused a huge rebellion because of the unfavorable river management, which completely buried the Mongolian dynasty.

Fortunately, the Han people have a lot of ready-made experience in this regard, and the Zhenguo Mansion is willing to take out money and grain, so the current situation in Qinhuangdao is progressing rapidly.

The construction of the road around the island made Ye Chunqiu feel even more relieved, because once this road is connected, it means that future development will be easier. The ports and docks have been built, and now countless ships have been brought to the island with various supplies. The water camp of the navy has also been built. There are ports for civilian ships and special military ports and forts. All of this has risen from the ground and is spectacular.

Zhu Houzhao listened, the lazy look in her expression gradually faded away, and she seemed quite fascinated: "I really want to go there again, but unfortunately, I'm seasick, haha..."

Ye Chunqiu was helpless when he thought of Zhu Houzhao's seasickness, so he said something else: "Now the dock has been built and it is imminent to build a ship. I have drawn a lot of sketches and sent all the information about Zheng He's voyage to the West to the research institute. Now we are discussing the plan, and it is expected that there will be a result soon."

"Is that true?" Zhu Houzhao raised her eyebrows: "When will it be made?"

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "This first ship is just for people to practice, so he dare not be too aggressive, for fear that His Majesty will be disappointed when he sees it, so it is better not to meet him."

The drawings provided by Ye Chunqiu are the so-called wooden battleships built by the British two or three hundred years later. At that time, Britain had reached its peak in sailing craftsmanship. Their cruisers were usually three-masted sailing ships with displacement of between 1,700 tons and more than 3,000 tons. The displacement of the current Portuguese ships was nearly doubled, with a crew of between 300 and 500 people. At the same time, the number of guns carried by three to four layers of armed armor was generally between 74 and 120. Relatively speaking, the firepower could also reach twice the number of Dutch ships. Considering the superb metallurgy level of Zhenguo Mansion and the thinner artillery, the same warship could carry about 150 guns.

This kind of cruiser has almost reached the limit of a wooden warship. It has stronger resistance to wind and waves, faster speed, better firepower, and more powerful armor. After all, it is a product that is two or three hundred years apart. If it can be really built, although they are all wooden warships, Ye Chunqiu can completely guarantee that the new warship can easily hang the current Franchise aircraft.
