Chapter 278 [Shipbuilders, Full Line Production] Part 1
Tagawa Miko glared at Mu Linfeng, gnashed her teeth, wishing that Mu Linfeng would be cut into pieces immediately, but she seemed to be very afraid of the Miss Tokugawa Ie in front of her. Although she was unwilling in every way, she never said a word.
.
When Mu Linfeng heard what Tokugawa Jiahui said, he quickly smiled and said: "Haha, thank you so much Jiahui. Mu is waiting for the good news about Miss Jiahui at Mu Mansion!"
Tokugawa Jiahui immediately stood up, bowed his head to Mu Linfeng and said, "Hey, Mu Jun, Jiahui will say goodbye now. Before tomorrow, Jiahui will definitely bring good news to Mu Jun, and I also hope that Mu Jun
Think carefully about what Meiko and Mu Jun said before, our Tokugawa family definitely wants to make friends with Mu Jun!"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly when he heard this, and then looked at Tokugawa Ie a few more times, and thought to himself: "This Tokugawa Ie is also a beauty. If I sit down and raise the price at this moment, and say that I want her to marry me, I don't know her.
Will you agree immediately?"
Although Mu Linfeng thought so, he did not say it out loud. Naturally, Mu Linfeng also knew clearly that as long as he really said this, Tokugawa Ie would definitely agree without hesitation. Mu Linfeng knew that this kind of woman, as long as she
It is for the benefit of the family that she will often do whatever it takes, as can be seen from the fact that she traveled all the way from Japan to Yangzhou for the sake of the family.
Mu Linfeng did not make such a request. He only heard him smile and said: "Okay, then Mu will not give it away. I hope Miss Jiahui can live happily in Yangzhou!"
Tokugawa Jiahui then smiled at Mu Linfeng and said, "Thank you Mu Jun, Jiahui will definitely have fun all over Yangzhou!"
After Tokugawa Ie said that, he immediately led Tagawa Miko and the other three black warriors out of Mu Linfeng's study. As soon as they arrived at the door, Tokugawa Ie immediately turned back to Mu Linfeng and said: "Oh, by the way, Mu Jun, there has been a lot of prosperity recently.
The warriors of the Chen family are all in Yangzhou. You must be careful. They failed to assassinate you last time. If they assassinate you again this time, they will definitely not miss you..."
Mu Linfeng's heart trembled when he heard this, and then he smiled and said: "Thank you Jie Hui for your concern, Mu will definitely save his life to marry Miss Meiko!" After saying that, he glanced at Tagawa Meiko behind Tokugawa Iie, and suddenly
Tagawa Meiko didn't even look at Mu Linfeng when she opened her eyes.
Tokugawa Jie smiled immediately after hearing this, and then left Mu Mansion with his privates.
After Tokugawa Ie left, Mu Linfeng was pondering what Tokugawa Ie had just said. The Toyotomi family's samurai were still in Yangzhou, and they were still thinking about assassinating Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng's mind suddenly sank and he thought: "Why did the Toyotomi family want to assassinate me? Is it because they were afraid that I would sell the firearms to the Tokugawa family? Why didn't he use the same method as the Tokugawa family and come to me to cooperate? In that case, I would
Wouldn't it be more beneficial to him if we could sell him the firearm?"
When Mu Linfeng thought of this, he couldn't help but start to have doubts about this matter.
But at this moment, Su Duxiu outside the study knocked on the door and said: "Master, Brother Fang proudly and Fang Jiahang are back!"
Mu Linfeng was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Really, that's great!" After saying that, he immediately left the study. As soon as he left the study, he saw Fang Guozi and Fang Jiahang standing in the courtyard.
Mu Linfeng immediately smiled at Fang Pride and Fang Jiahang and said, "Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen!"
When Fang Jiahang and Fang Aoao saw Mu Linfeng leaving the study, they quickly raised their hands and said, "Mu Shuai!"
Mu Linfeng was overjoyed and quickly asked his servants to prepare tea. After inviting everyone into the study, Mu Linfeng asked Fang Jiahangdao: "Mr. Fang, how did things go?"
Hearing this, Fang Jiahang said: "Don't worry, Mu Shuai. Between the end of this month and the beginning of next month, Fang guarantees that all workers will come to Yangzhou!"
Mu Linfeng asked curiously: "Why don't the workers come with sir?"
Fang Jiahang had not yet spoken when he heard this, but heard Fang proudly say: "Master, something big has happened in the south!"
Mu Linfeng's heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "Oh? What's going on?"
Fang proudly said immediately: "Ryukyu in the South China Sea was originally occupied by the Spanish, but in recent days, the Dutch fleet has been on the coast of Fujian. They are nominally caravans, but they have been exploring the situation in Ryukyu. Just the day before yesterday, the Dutch fleet
More than 20 merchant ships were all turned into warships overnight, and they fought desperately with Spain in the South China Sea and captured Ryukyu in one fell swoop. Ryukyu is now under the rule of the Netherlands!"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, his heart trembled and he said: "What should have happened happened after all!" Then he immediately asked Fang proudly: "Didn't Zheng Zhilong find out the details about the Dutch? How could he easily let the Dutch enter Fujian?
port?"
Fang proudly sighed: "It is said that when the Dutch caravan entered the port of Xiamen, Fujian, it was indeed a merchant ship, and it did carry a lot of sunset goods, but for some reason, it turned into a warship overnight..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, it was already clear in his mind that Holland must have asked Zheng Zhilong to pass the exam in the name of commerce. Holland's ship must be used for both commercial and war purposes. This must be because the people who inspected the ship were careless. No wonder.
Zheng Zhilong.
Mu Linfeng then asked: "Then Zheng Zhilong didn't take action after discovering the Dutch conspiracy?"
Fang proudly said: "Of course we have to take action, but the Dutch warships are traveling extremely fast. By the time Zheng Zhilong discovered something strange, the Dutch warships had already appeared around Ryukyu... But at that time Zheng Zhilong also sent nearly five
Ten warships pursued the Dutch, but unfortunately, by the time their warships arrived at Ryukyu, the battle between the Dutch and the Spanish had ended, and the Dutch successfully landed!"
Fang Jiahang interjected from the side: "So these workers must help Zheng Zhilong build more than ten warships in Fujian before they can come to Yangzhou to serve Mu Shuai!"
Only then did Mu Linfeng understand, and he sighed in his heart: "It's true that one day in the mountains has taken the world a thousand years! Now that the Dutch have occupied Taiwan, I'm afraid the South China Sea will be troubled from now on!"
When Mu Linfeng thought of this, he also thought of the two sisters Zheng Lianxiang and Zheng Xiyu, and couldn't help but secretly worry about them.
Mu Linfeng immediately asked Fang Jiahangdao: "The Dutch warships are so fast. I wonder if Mr. Fang can build the same warship?"
Fang Jiahang pondered for a while after hearing the words, and immediately said to Mu Linfeng: "When Fang was in Fujian, he visited and studied the Dutch warship salvaged by Zheng Zhilong for half a day, and found that the Dutch warship was indeed different from our ships in the Central Plains.
The difference is that their warships look relatively small on the deck, but in fact they have a lot of space inside. Moreover, the displacement wheel of their warships is very special. It is estimated that the displacement far exceeds that of our warships in the Central Plains, although Fang has already figured out the specific structure.
It’s ready, but it still needs to be tested step by step, and Fang is not sure that he will be able to build exactly the same warship..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but feel worried: "If we can't build a warship like the Dutch warship, how can we dominate the sea and organize a powerful navy?"
Everyone saw that Mu Linfeng's face was very ugly, and they did not dare to speak, but they heard Fang Ahang say: "Mu Shuai, Fang has a suggestion. Since we can't surpass the Dutch warships in terms of speed, why not surpass them in tenacity?"
Woolen cloth?"
Mu Linfeng heard this and said curiously: "Oh? What does Mr. Fang mean?"
Fang Jiahang was silent for a while, then stood up, took out a book from his arms, walked to Mu Linfeng, looked at the book in front of Mu Linfeng, and then opened it.
Mu Linfeng saw that the book was full of structural diagrams of some ships, but he couldn't understand it, so he immediately asked Fang Jia Channel: "I wonder what Mr. Fang wants to do?"
Fang Jia Channel: "Mu Shuai, look, these are samples of mainstream ships that have advanced in our Central Plains. There are basically no breakthroughs in style. Mu Shuai, look at this again..."
Fang Jiahang said and opened the book to the last page. The warship drawing between Mu Linfeng was obviously different from the previous one. The deck was very small, but the bottom was very large, and the displacement theory on both wings of the ship was quite large. Mu Linfeng
Although I don’t understand the structure of the ship, I can still see that this must be a Dutch ship structure diagram.
Fang Jia Channel: "This is the structure of the Dutch ships..."
When Mu Linfeng heard that his guess was indeed correct, he smiled slightly, then heard Fang Jia say: "Fang has been thinking, why do ships have to be made of wood? Why can't they be made of iron?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but said in shock: "Iron? Iron warship?"
Let alone them, even Mu Linfeng was horrified when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Made of iron?"
Fang Jia Channel: "Yes, although wooden ships are faster, when the war started, the degree of damage to wooden ships was quite large. Basically ten ships went out, and only two or three came back, and these are the two or three ships that came back.
The damage is extremely serious... Moreover, now all warships use artillery, and wooden ships cannot resist the attack of unfavorable artillery... Moreover, Fang also heard that the firearms and artillery invented by you, Mu Shuai, are better than those of others, then
There is no way this wooden ship can withstand such an attack..."
Fang Jiahang didn't wait for Mu Linfeng to speak, and immediately looked at Mu Linfeng and said: "Mu Shuai, Fang boldly said that the era of ship reform is imminent!"
