"Of course. I don't know how many new crew members the commander will train?" Nelson replied simply.

"Let's train a thousand new crew members in the first round first." Chu Yun said, "I will soon recruit reserve crew members from the surrounding fishing villages."

After he was newly appointed commander of the British Navy, Chu Yun appointed Nelson as the commander of the Liao Fleet and commanded the large and small ships of the Liao Fleet. Deng Daqian, who was originally commanding the Guanglu Island Navy, was appointed by Chu Yun as the deputy commander of the fleet, which was a means of restraining Chu Yun.

After arranging more than 800 men and Victory from the Royal Navy, Chu Yun and Nelson met with the director of the Royal Shipyard. More than 300 craftsmen, almost all the employees of the entire shipyard were moved by the system, which shows how brutal and rough the system was.

"It doesn't take long to manufacture four 28-gun sailboats. However, suitable wood may not be easy to find. We used European oak, and in the Ming Dynasty, other wood may be used instead. We need to try to find wood with sufficient hardness. In addition, the heavy artillery required by warships may need to be produced by other departments, and our shipyard is not responsible for the manufacturing of artillery." The director of the Royal Shipyard said to Chu Yun like this.

How could I forget this? Chu Yun thought that as long as there was a shipyard, he could produce a continuous stream of battleships. But even if the warship was produced, he had to keep up with the heavy artillery of the warships!

A frigate will produce 28 heavy artillery pieces! In other words, Chu Yun will equip the navy with 4 artillery battalions! The navy is so expensive!

"It should be...but can your Royal Shipyard produce merchant ships?" Chu Yun asked with a flash of spirit.

"We can all produce battleships, not to mention mere merchant ships." The Royal Shipyard's director proudly patted his chest.

"What about the merchant ships that can equip artillery? They are large merchant ships that can equip 12, 20 or 28 guns."

“It’s absolutely fine.”

"That's simple."

Chu Yun was extremely surprised. He probably knew how to make money to develop the navy. He formed a Far East trading company before, and those merchants in the southeast coastal areas would be the largest customers of the shipyard except Chu Yun. As long as the merchants provide a huge amount of money, he could produce armed merchant ships for these merchants and send soldiers as mercenaries to protect the safety of these merchants, achieving a win-win goal.

"Sir, are you going to get a large order for merchant ships for our shipyard?" asked the factory manager.

"That's right, you are ready to produce 28 artillery sailboats first. When I get your shipyard a merchant ship order, your shipyard can expand its production scale." Chu Yun nodded.

Since the shipyard and the Victory were placed in Qingniwa by the system, it was destined to be no longer a small fishing village. Chu Yun planned to build this place into a new port and a trade center in the Liaodong region.

"When we return to Jinzhou, we will relocate part of the population and industry to Qingniwa, especially the Ordnance Bureau, and we need to establish a branch here. In the future, this place will no longer be called Qingniwa, but will be renamed Dalian Port." Chu Yun said to Yu Cheng.

"Dalian Port? This name is quite strange. What is the allusion taken from?" Yu Cheng asked.

How could I know what the allusion is? Chu Yun can't say it's because it was called Dalian Port in later generations, so he had to say: "I don't know why this name popped up in my heart, probably because of God's will."

"Sir, do you want to board our Victory and experience it?" Nelson invited Chu Yun.

"So good." Chu Yun was eager to get on the legendary Victory.

Stepping on the wooden deck of the Victory, Chu Yun could feel the swaying of the waves and the smell of the sea. Behind Chu Yun was the crew of the Victory. Surrounded by a group of crew members, Chu Yun had the urge to set sail.

The Victory was more than ten meters wide. Standing on the Victory, I felt very wide. At least after experiencing the small broken boats in Dongjiang Town, Chu Yun felt much empty. Yu Cheng and the soldiers of the guard were even more surprised. They looked around and touched the thick mast and the artillery on the deck in awe.

"What a big warship, the ships in our Dongjiang Town are simply incomparable to this ship! Perhaps only the treasure ships from the era of Master Zheng He can compare with each other."

"It would be great if this warship could drive to land. We drove directly to Shengjing, smash Shengjing and blow the Jin people into the sky!"

"It is worthy of being a large ship that can accommodate more than 800 people. If we restore the Liao army to a few more such ships, we can be unscrupulous on this sea."

A group of people said verbally.

Nelson enjoyed the Guard's reaction very much, and it was his pride.

"Standing on this giant ship, the sight alone is much wider." Chu Yun looked down at the Qingniwa below and felt how small the small fishing village was, as if with his order, the Victory could easily erase a fishing village from the map.

"Sir, you can choose to issue an order to fire the gun, fire volleys in the direction of no one, and experience the power of the Victory firepower." Nelson said proudly.

"There is no need..." Chu Yun felt so painful when he heard that the Victory Round had to consume half a ton of ammunition. "Good steel must be used on the blade. Before we produce supporting ammunition, we must save some use."

"What the sir said is."

Just as Nelson took Chu Yun and others to visit the top deck, several naval soldiers came to the second deck, leading a Royal Naval Academy officer.

"Father, is this Chief Chu Yun we want to serve?" The naval officer brought people to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun was slightly shocked when he saw the naval officer.

Chu Yun would not have been surprised if he was just an ordinary naval officer, but the officer was actually a woman with a slim figure, light blue eyes, and long golden hair rolled up with a red ribbon. She was about 1.7 meters tall, and her heroic appearance was not inferior to any navy soldier present.

"This is..." Chu Yun looked at Nelson in confusion.

"Ahem... This is Captain Ella Nelson, a top student at the Royal Naval Academy in Greenwich. Although she is young, she has three years of experience in nautical combat." Nelson said.

Ella Nelson? Why does it sound...

"She is my illegitimate daughter. Please keep this matter secret..." Nelson said secretly in Chu Yun's ear.

After hearing this, Chu Yun suddenly realized. Unexpectedly, Nelson was not only a veteran in the battlefield, but also a veteran in the love field. No wonder Ella could serve on the great Victory, which is probably related to Nelson's slight bias and compensation.
