Chapter 513 The Three Great Navy Divisions! The Invincible Giant Ship About to Set Sail!
Age of Discovery!
This word is full of mysterious magic!
Yang Shiqi and Wang Jing were both shocked and speechless at this moment.
The two of them always knew that His Highness the King of Han was full of yearning for the sea, so they also attached great importance to the Ming Navy.
But neither of them expected that His Highness the King of Han would have such a great ambition!
He wanted to use his own strength to forcibly put the Ming Dynasty on the ocean and forcibly start the era of great navigation!
"Prince, will the court agree?"
Wang Jing, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke and asked a fatal question.
Will the court agree to His Highness the King of Han do all this?
The King of Han was just a grandmaster prince, not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not even the prince!
He worked hard to do all this, and he would most likely be completely rejected by the prince and even the emperor!
What's the point?
Zhu Gaoxu's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, and he shook his head with a faint smile.
"Don't worry, as long as Zheng He brings back the divine seed, everything will not be a problem."
"You have far underestimated the magic power of the divine species. The Ming Dynasty has the divine species. Many previously barren lands will become fertile land suitable for cultivation. The grain output of the Ming Dynasty will increase significantly, and the population of the Ming Dynasty will also usher in a blowout period!"
"At that time, it was no longer the king who pushed the Ming Dynasty overseas, but the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to ask the court to go overseas and to a more vast new world. After all, the Chinese people are all obsessed with the fields. If there is a seed of gods in their hands, who cares about too many fields in their hands?"
God seed!
To put it bluntly, it is potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, as well as American crops such as peanuts, pumpkins, peppers, cassava, etc.
These common American crops in later generations are still unwilling to be discovered at this moment.
Columbus discovered the New World, which happened in the fifth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, and it was more than half a century later!
In this case, Zhu Gaoxu can't force himself to live for another seventy or eighty years, and wait until Columbus discovers the new world?
If you haven’t discovered the New World yet, then you can discover it yourself.
There was no Columbus in the Ming Dynasty, but there were Zheng He, thousands of brave and warlike navy soldiers, and the strongest invincible navy in the world!
If that's the case, what else do you need for Columbus?
The route Zhu Gaoxu provided for Zheng He and the Navy would naturally not be to go to the West again. After bypassing most of the earth, it would be unrealistic to see if he could reach America alive, and the Ming Dynasty could not wait.
It is absolutely feasible to travel directly from Japan (now Ningguo) to North America, and in the fifteenth century, Japanese slaves had successfully done such a feat.
But the wind and waves in the Bering Sea are too strong, and even ships in later generations often destroy ships.
Therefore, the route Zhu Gaoxu set for the Ming Navy was to flow into the North Pacific Ocean.
After the Ning King Zhu Quan, with the cooperation of Zheng He's navy, successfully transformed the Kingdom of Japan into Ning Kingdom, the secret letter of the Han prince and the emperor's edict were delivered to Zheng He, and the navy fleet also set sail from a port in the eastern part of Ning Kingdom.
The keel problem has been solved.
The pointed bottom of the ship is unified.
The cowhide spinnade has been replaced.
The heavy artillery was also successfully moved onto the ship.
In this era, who can stop the Ming Navy in the sea?
"Prince Han, is there any news about the Navy Fleet?"
Yang Shiqi couldn't wait to ask a question, and he was also a little excited.
Unexpectedly, when Zhu Gaoxu heard his words, his old face suddenly turned dark.
There is news about you!
If there is any news, did Zhu Di write letters to scold me every now and then?
The Navy Fleet travels directly to North America from Ningguo. If the weather is smooth, it will actually only take about 40 days to reach the east coast of North America.
When we came back, the navy took the Pacific current, which is the common route for the Spanish Grand Triangle trade. However, it should be in winter and spring, so that we can avoid the terrible typhoons in the Pacific. If the wind is smooth, it will only take fifty days to run back.
But damn it took at least a year or two to go there, and there has been no news yet.
Sometimes Zhu Gaoxu was really afraid that the Pacific circulation in this era was different, or that the navigator talents he trained for Zheng He were not well-known and could not recognize the climate and currents, which led to his successful ruining the invincible naval fleet of the Ming Dynasty!
Not only was he a little anxious, but Emperor Yongle could not sit still.
After all, Zheng He's navy was a powerful maritime army he built. If it was broken in an unknown way, he didn't even know where he died. Zhu Di was afraid that he would really hang Zhu Gaoxu up and beat him up!
For the sake of the present plan, the father and son could only wait, patiently and continue to wait, hoping that God could favor the Ming Dynasty again!
Seeing His Highness the King of Han’s face turned blue, Yang Shiqi realized that he had asked a relatively stupid question.
After sneering twice, he asked again, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Ahem, Prince Han, are Yang Pu doing well in recent days?"
"Well, he performed well. He was doing well in Chu State. The King of Chu praised him as a talent. The court summoned him back to Beijing many times. King Zhu Zhen of Chu shirked him with various excuses. Obviously he was not going to let Yang Pu go!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Gaoxu himself found it interesting.
The three Yang Xianxiang, who has been famous in history, still have two tricks.
Yang Shiqi conquered the seven countries in Nanyang and forcibly established the name of "South Ocean Prime Minister".
Yang Rong walked away from the bitter and cold land in the north of the ridge, washed away all the dew and regained himself, and played with Mongolian tribes in his palms.
Yang Pu was deeply engaged in Jilong Mountain in Penghu and built a Dongkun Navy in accordance with the requirements of the court. According to the old thing Jin Zhong, if this Dongkun Navy was equipped with the same warship equipment, it would be comparable to Zheng He Navy!
Thinking of the navy, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yang Shiqi.
"Yang Pu built a Dongkun Navy in Chu State, second only to Zheng He Navy."
"Husky, your Nanyang land is unique, why did the navy arrange it?"
Hearing this, Yang Shiqi smiled confidently.
"My Nanyang Navy may not be as good as Zheng He Navy, but it should be no problem to beat Yang Pu's Dongkun Navy!"
"Hahaha..." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing loudly, pointing at Yang Shiqi and scolding: "Husky, Husky, you have been practicing in Nanyang for three years. Not only is the more famous you become, the more you are, the more you are! "
"This is confidence." Yang Shiqi nodded lightly, "However, His Highness, King of Han, can there be some equipment from Zheng He's Navy for the Nanyang Navy..."
"Oh, do you want to rebel?"
Before Yang Shiqi finished speaking, he was frightened by the words of Prince Han and swallowed the next half of the sentence back.
Zhu Gaoxu laughed lazily and said, "Husky, with your wisdom, you shouldn't say such words."
"It was Lao San who asked you to help me ask? Tell Lao San that he would set up his own research institute and train craftsmen well!"
"The court absolutely does not allow the navy of overseas vassal states to surpass the navy of Zheng He. You also understand the reason in your heart."
"Shipbuilding craftsmanship, large-scale warships, design drawings and even top craftsmen will be included in the list of contraband products, and anyone is strictly prohibited from taking them away from the Ming Dynasty privately!"
"Husky, you now understand why I started to train craftsmen a few years ago?"
When Yang Shiqi heard this, he sighed with conscience.
Chapter completed!
