"Returning to Your Majesty can still be done, but it won't be easy."
"We build ships in Yingtian, which requires a large number of craftsmen and coal and iron mines."
"Once the number of craftsmen invested is too large, it will lead to a shortage of craftsmen in other places, and the impact will still be huge. It took a long time for our ship to be successful."
Hou Xian said first.
In this way, industry must be transferred to Annan and other places, and the cheaper population will be used to develop industry for the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, it can also restrain the people of Annan through industry, so that they dare not rebel or make chaos, and can serve the Ming Dynasty forever and ever until all the minerals are dug out.
This trip to Annan is a must.
After experiencing the speed of the big ship, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was completely shaken.
My dear grandson wants to go, then go!
It’s easy to come back anyway.
Developing in the direction of Guaisun can make Ming Dynasty very powerful.
"good!"
After listening to Hou Xian's words, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Next, my dear grandson will transfer the property. Then you can go to Annan together."
Zhu Song listened and asked in surprise: "Father, little Yunxuan is going to Annan? That place is so far away and it often fights with us. It must be very dangerous. How can this be done!"
Xu Miaojin also panicked when he heard that Zhu Xuan was going to Annan.
I just sent Mu Yuanjun away today, and Zhu Xuan is leaving so soon. What will she do alone?
"Kill Annan down and there will be no danger."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with full confidence: "It is not difficult for Mu Sheng to capture Annan. When the time comes, our Ming army will directly station in and see what King Annan can do."
Zhu Song said reluctantly: "But we can't let little Yunxuan go!"
Zhu Xuan said: "Uncle Twenty, this is my nephew's initiative."
After saying that, he looked back at Xu Miaojin, and could see her reluctance, and explained: "I will go to Yunnan to help Uncle Mu conquer Annan first. Then I will transfer the things from our factory to Annan and refine them there. Steel development, and finally bring the finished product back to us for assembly in Yingtian!”
He took Xu Miaojin's hand and said: "I won't be away for a long time, maybe a few months, and I will be back soon. Then I can bring Sister Yuanjun back often, and I can also bring Sister Miaojin back often." Go to Yunnan."
After hearing these words, Xu Miaojin's eyes lit up.
This seems to be okay.
They went to Annan by sea.
The boat was very fast and stable. We arrived in Annan easily and could meet Xiao Yuanjun.
Xu Miaojin's unhappiness was forgotten and she no longer bothered with it. It was enough to know that Zhu Xuan was very powerful and could lead them to do many things.
When Zhu Song saw his father like this, he knew that he could no longer object.
"My dear grandson, you must be careful when you go to sea."
Zhu Yuanzhang warned earnestly.
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Grandpa Huang, please don't worry, my grandson will definitely know how to do it."
Going to fight Annan this time was actually very safe. Zhu Xuan didn't take them seriously yet, not to mention that with Mu Sheng by his side, he could do a lot of things.
"Excuse me, little emperor, are those artillery pieces?"
At this moment, Yun Qi finally discovered the tall fort placed next to it.
Those are Zhu Xuan's Krupp cannons.
But now it has been renamed by Zhu Xuan. It cannot be called Krupp. It has been renamed to a name that is very in line with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, called Shenwei Cannon. Those Dingshan Rivers are not suitable for use on ships.
The Shenwei cannon is more suitable for naval battles because it has a long enough range and powerful explosive power. The most important thing is that it is a front-loading cannon, which is easy to load ammunition.
There are a total of twenty divine cannons on this ship, and ammunition and the like are all placed on the ship.
"yes!"
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "This is the latest weapon produced by our factory. It is called the Shenwei Cannon. It has not been demonstrated to Grandpa Huang yet."
"What a big fort!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked back.
The artillery in front of them was completely different from what they were used to seeing. It was a pile of steel structures that looked cold, but also had a murderous feel.
Such artillery is incredibly powerful at first glance.
Zhu Song knew about the Shenwei Cannon. He touched the barrel and said in surprise: "Did Xiao Yunxuan really make this? Since I haven't demonstrated it before, why don't I demonstrate it to my father now?"
Zhu Xuan said: "Of course there is no problem. Zheng He will sail to the island over there."
After they went out to sea, they could see some small islands scattered on the sea.
Zheng He got the order and asked the helmsman to change direction, and the huge ship sailed towards the island through wind and waves.
Zhu Yuanzhang was full of expectations for the artillery and wanted to see how powerful it was.
When the distance was close, Zhu Xuan said again: "That's it, stop and fire!"
The helmsman stopped the ship.
Several soldiers opened the barrel of the cannon and stuffed the shells inside.
"This is still loading from the front!"
Zhu Yuanzhang found it very novel. The loading method was the same as that of a rifle.
Just when he was thinking this, he saw that the soldiers had closed the breech and started the artillery, and then a deafening roar appeared from the ship.
The explosion of the divine cannon has extremely strong recoil.
The big ship shook slightly.
They could see the smoke filling the air. In the smoke, a cannonball hit the small island and made another loud noise. Smoke also rose from the small island over there.
Trees were knocked down by artillery shells on the spot, and flames were scattered.
The moment the cannonball fell, it seemed as if the sea surface was shaking.
"The artillery can shoot so far and is so powerful!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he was shocked beyond description.
Zhu Song knew that this divine cannon was very powerful, but this was the first time he saw the power of the cannonballs. This power shocked them for a long time before they recovered.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Yun Qi congratulated loudly: "Our Ming Dynasty has such artillery. It will be no problem to hit anything in the future. The Shenwei Cannon is indeed Shenwei!"
Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and looked excited.
He knew that to the east of Annan was the sea.
When the big ship comes to the beach and fires a few cannonballs into it, can the Annamites stop it? Completely unstoppable and able to tear through its defenses with ease.
After fighting Annan, you can also go to fight the Japanese country on the way.
It can grind those small overseas countries to the ground.
No wonder the little darling grandson said that it was actually safe to attack Annan, it was indeed safe.
"Good grandson, you did a good job!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted excitedly: "Our hope for the Ming Dynasty lies in our good grandson. Can similar artillery be made again?"
Zhu Xuan thought for a while and said: "Sun'er will discuss with Hou Xian and the others, and we should be able to make more powerful artillery."
The Krupp cannon was not the most powerful, but hundreds of years later, it was one of the best cannons, and the Beiyang Navy spent huge sums of money to buy many of them.
Stronger artillery requires higher technology.
These still have to wait for them to be revealed and continue to be developed and manufactured.
