A few months have passed since the last time Zhu Yunxuan went to Songjiang Mansion.
But that's it for a few months.
Songjiang Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes.
On the newly built cement road, carriages carrying heavy goods often pass by. Obviously, this newly built cement road has become a blood transfusion channel connecting Yingtian Mansion and Songjiang Mansion.
There are frequent economic and trade exchanges between the two.
Moreover, this newly built concrete road is very wide, enough to accommodate five carriages traveling side by side.
Rain or shine, we can move forward.
And this is the real reason why the Magic City can be built so quickly.
Under Zhu Yunxun's order, all taxes and taxes from Suzhou Prefecture were sent to Songjiang Prefecture, and countless people from Suzhou Prefecture went to Songjiang Prefecture to help.
It can be said that there are people with money.
All required expenses can be transported from the outside world.
In addition, the construction of cement roads has been completed, and the transportation efficiency has at least tripled!
How can the construction speed not be too fast?
This is why Zhu Yunxuan insisted on carrying out large-scale construction across the country and building many national highways!
If you want to be rich, build roads first.
This sentence is absolutely a wise saying!
Zhu Yunzhen and Xu Miaojin had just entered Songjiang Mansion.
Soon, a huge and impressive team came over.
"Humble position! Zheng He, the magistrate of Songjiang! I respectfully welcome His Highness the Grand Sun!"
Zheng He came galloping on horseback.
He jumped forward and landed in front of Zhu Yunzhen's car. He knelt down with his hands in his hands and was sincerely convinced.
"Eh, Zheng He? We haven't seen each other for a few months, and you're giving me such a big gift when we meet?"
Xu Miaojin walked out of Zhu Yunzhen's car first.
He said with smiling eyes.
Then, Zhu Yunxun showed up and looked at Xu Miaojin funny. This girl was really out of her element and not forgiving.
Then he looked at Zheng He, made a gesture to help him up, and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, just stay flat."
Zheng He then stood up and looked at Zhu Yunzhen.
But his eyes were full of respect and awe!
Although a few months ago, when Zheng He followed Zhu Yunxi to defeat the Japanese pirates, he had already been completely impressed by Zhu Yunxi.
Willingly surrender to Zhu Yunxian.
But after a few months, Zheng He's admiration for Zhu Yunzhen gradually turned into respect.
In the past few months, he has been in charge of Songjiang Mansion, building roads, cities, ships, and training the navy.
So many things.
I thought that after countless years of hard work, it would be impossible to achieve anything.
But he didn't expect that his grandson would first send him money and food, then manpower, and finally he would build a road with cement and build a road leading to Yingtian Mansion!
So that the wood needed by the shipyard can be continuously transported.
It only took a few months to complete the construction of the shipyard!
The Magic City has also completed part of the plan! It’s already taking shape!
And all of this... depends on the arrangements of His Highness the Grand Sun!
In Zheng He's heart, His Highness Taisun was like a god!
How could he not be convinced?
"Your Highness Taisun, should we go to the shipyard first? Or go to the Magic City first?"
Zheng He asked quickly after getting up.
"You don't have to be so formal, just go as usual."
In the beginning, Zheng He was not like this.
The longer he stayed under his command, the more respectful he became.
"Let's go to Jiangnan Shipyard first. I heard from you that Jiangnan Shipyard has built a kind of treasure ship?"
"Can you sail across the four seas and sail far away?"
Zheng He restrained his excitement and tried to be as normal as possible.
The reply was: "Yes, after several months of hard work, coupled with the convenience of transportation, the shipyard is working day and night."
"Finally, a treasure ship capable of sailing across the ocean was built!"
"This ship is forty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide! There are four floors above and below!"
"The nine masts on the ship can carry twelve sails, and the anchor alone weighs several thousand kilograms! It takes two to three hundred people to set sail!"
"The treasure ship carries more than twenty artillery pieces!"
"They are all the latest artillery developed by the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau - the Invincible General Cannon!"
"The firepower is amazing! Ordinary ships will be buried under the sea with just one encounter!"
Zheng He's face was glowing and he looked radiant.
Obviously he is very proud of the treasure ship built by Jiangnan Shipyard.
This is the Ming Dynasty’s treasure ship!
It is also a weapon for His Royal Highness to conquer the world!
"Oh? Then I have to go see it first!"
Zhu Yunxuan also became interested.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, it is related to the long-term plan of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, he must go and see it on the ground.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Zheng He.
But he believed even more in his eyes, which had hundreds of years of experience beyond the times!
Xu Miaojin also said: "Invincible General Cannon? Has it been installed on the treasure ship so soon?"
She is in charge of Jinling Shibafang.
Naturally, the manufacturing of the invincible general's cannon also passed through her hands.
But Xu Miaojin didn't expect that Zheng He's work efficiency would be so high!
Not only was the ship built, but the cannons were also moved aboard.
I can’t wait to go to sea!
Zhu Yunzhen could also guess some of Zheng He's thoughts. He was originally an eunuch, but he did not want to cling to power and enjoy glory and wealth like other eunuchs.
All I want is the last one.
Make a name for yourself in history!
What else could be more famous throughout the ages than conquering the world for the Ming Dynasty?
Now that I have decided to go to Jiangnan Shipyard.
Zhu Yunxuan, Xu Miaojin and Zheng He integrated their troops and set off again.
The already spectacular team seemed even more vast.
There are thousands of people!
The queue stretched for ten miles!
Many merchants along the way couldn't help but hide away when they saw him.
I am afraid that these guys who are not easy to mess with will do something to the goods in their hands.
On the contrary, there were some people preparing for spring plowing in the fields.
Get together and discuss in twos and threes.
"Whose queue is this? Is it so powerful? I'm afraid it's not a big shot!"
"Big shot? Haha, didn't you see the words on it?"
"This is His Majesty's Majesty's Majesty!"
"What? It turns out to be the royal chariot of Da Luo Celestial Immortal Blessing Saint True Monarch?! No! We have to go and pay homage!"
"Let his old man bless our place to have good weather next year!"
"Hey! Don't go! Haven't you seen there are so many people? If I collide with you, you will not die!"
"What are you afraid of? The Lingxiao God of War cares about us people, so he definitely won't care!"
"Let's go and say goodbye together!"
So along the way, from time to time you can see rural people gathering together in twos and threes and running to the concrete roadside.
He knelt down between the fields and bowed to Zhu Yunzhen's driver.
This scene... made Zhu Yunxian speechless, but in Zheng He's view, it was a symbol of the people's aspirations for His Highness the Grand Sun!
I respect His Royal Highness the Grand Sun even more!
Xu Miaojin didn't believe this, but after looking at Zhu Yunxian, she felt in her heart that if there really was any Lingxiao God of War, Daluo Tianxian Xuantiandang Demon Blessing Saint True Monarch, he would definitely be inferior to Zhu Yunxian!
In her heart, Zhu Yunzhen is number one in the world and in heaven!
…
…
…
Jiangnan Shipyard.
The spacious shipyard is close to the river and the sea. At a glance, there are densely packed ships under construction.
Countless shipbuilding craftsman ants cling to the wooden frame.
One ship after another is being built.
In the middle of the dock, there was a huge ship that had been launched into the sea and was docked quietly at the port. As soon as Zhu Yunzhen approached, the huge ship's hull stretched across his eyes like it blocked the sky and the sun.
I just heard from Zheng He that it was forty-four feet long, eighteen feet wide, and had four floors in total.
It's just a vague concept.
Now that I have actually seen it, I realize that this treasure ship is really incredibly big.
Forty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide. If converted into meters, it would be one hundred and forty-eight meters long! Nearly sixty meters wide!
Almost the size of a standard football field!
Not to mention, this treasure ship has four upper and lower floors, as well as tall sails.
It's really towering like a mountain.
It’s shocking!
Such a treasure ship, in this era, is definitely invincible in the world! There is no single enemy!
Anyone who sees it will be in awe!
Not to mention, there are more than a dozen dark holes on both sides of the ship's hull, with invincible general cannons placed inside!
That is, the Fran cannon of later generations.
Ships that were far ahead of their times, paired with artillery that was far ahead of their times, and a new army that was far ahead of their times!
With such a navy, why worry about not being able to conquer all the seas?
Conquer the ocean!
"Let's go! Board the ship with me!"
Zhu Yunzhen was also a little excited and ordered repeatedly: "I want to get on the boat and test-fire the cannon!"
"Look at the performance of the treasure ship and the power of the invincible general's cannon!"
Zheng He nodded repeatedly.
He asked people to throw down the long ladder, and then arranged for everyone to take care of the grandson, and he personally escorted the grandson to board the ship.
Zheng He's martial arts were astonishing.
Even if there is a slight accident when boarding the ship, His Highness the Grand Sun's safety will be guaranteed.
After some climbing, Zhu Yunxi successfully boarded the treasure ship.
On the deck paved with yellow-orange wooden boards, Zhu Yunxuan stood on the bow of the ship and looked out over the sea. He felt like he was at the top of the boat and could see all the small mountains.
The field of vision is broadened, and the mind is also broadened.
Countless pride surged in my heart.
The order was given: "Weigh anchor! Raise sail!"
"I want to take this ship and go to the Magic City!"
Magic City is located at the outlet of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, not far from the Jiangnan Shipyard.
At the same time, there is also a port built in the Magic City.
Sitting on a treasure ship with such a wide view to go to the Magic City, you can also better observe the construction of the Magic City.
"By the way, load up all the invincible cannons and try its power!"
Soon, the invincible general's cannon was loaded.
It is a rapid-fire cannon, reloading is fast and does not take much time.
In fact, Zhu Yunzhen had just ordered it, and it had already been loaded in the blink of an eye.
"Your Highness Taisun, look here."
Zheng He suddenly pointed in a certain direction, and Zhu Yunzhen looked around, only to see an old flat-bottomed sand boat sailing along with the waves on the vast river.
Drifting aimlessly.
"This is the ship target used to test the power of the Invincible General's cannon!"
"As soon as His Highness gives the order to keep this ship, it will sink immediately!"
Zheng He said confidently.
Since the installation of the Invincible General's cannon, he has already practiced it several times, and the new army has been practicing on land from time to time.
The accuracy is already guaranteed.
At this time, I naturally dare to boast in front of Zhu Yunzhen!
Zhu Yunxuan looked at the flat-bottomed sand boat, which was about three miles away.
For the naval battle at this time, it was already far away.
"oh?"
"Give me the order, if we can really hit this ship, all the crew members will be rewarded!"
Zhu Yunzhen said without hesitation.
Xu Miaojin also looked eagerly at the sand ship three miles away, wanting to see if the invincible general cannon produced from the Eighteenth Square of Jinling was so powerful!
"aim!"
"Test firing!"
"Adjust Zhuyuan!"
As orders were issued in an orderly manner.
On one side of the ship, more than ten artillery pieces were aimed at the sand ship, and a few test rounds were fired in advance to facilitate adjustment of the shooting angle.
Zheng He saw that everything was ready.
The last order was given: "Launch!"
Boom!
The deafening sound of cannons sounded one after another!
Immediately afterwards, smoke filled the air!
The hull then shook violently!
"Check the hull for any cracks!"
"Check if target hit!"
The navy trained by Zheng He was well-drilled.
Executing every command.
"Report! There are no cracks in the hull! The shelling shock has not been affected!"
"Report! Eleven artillery pieces, a total of eight hits! The target has been hit!"
"It's sinking to the bottom!"
Zhu Yunzhen watched the flat-bottomed sand boat sinking slowly three miles away.
The heart that was originally hanging also sank.
The Ming Navy... is available! Fightable!
A mere Japanese country can be destroyed by raising your hand!
Conquering the world is a piece of cake! The world line has completely changed!
