Tang Bohu took the chance and finally recovered his fame and fortune. Later, he received help from Wang Lun. In addition, Emperor Zhengde also wanted to compensate for his debts to Tang Bohu, so he released him as an official. As a result, Tang Bohu was arranged to Ningbo City.

In the deputy lifting position of the ship department.

It is worth mentioning that the position of Tang Bohu was not arranged at will. Zhou Chong had already met Emperor Zhengde at that time, and Wang Lun also knew Zhou Chong's next plan, so he spent a lot of effort to arrange Tang Bohu to the city.

The Shipbuilding Department hopes that Tang Bohu can make a career under Zhou Chong. At the beginning, Tang Bohu blamed Wang Lun for arranging a position to die, until Zhou Chong took over the Maritime Department.

Only then did he understand Wang Lun's painstaking efforts.

After listening to Tang Bohu's tortuous experience, especially when he learned that the other party was able to recover his fame, it was all because of the Jin Ping Mei he wrote. This surprised Zhou Chong and was also a little embarrassed. At the same time, he was secretly scolding Emperor Zhengde for making trouble. You said you

Just look at it, and you even have to draw a picture of the erotic palace. No wonder people later generations called him a foolish monarch.

Zhou Chong didn't want to talk to Tang Bohu about Jin Pingmei. Tang Bohu's identity is different now, so he doesn't really want to mention the erotic palace he drew. Therefore, the two quickly changed the topic and began to talk about the local customs and culture of Ningbo.

And various delicacies in the port, etc.

Zhou Chong stayed at Tang Bohu's house until afternoon, and finally got up and said goodbye. Tang Bohu and his wife personally sent him to the alley, and finally waved goodbye. When they were back home, Shen Jiuniang suddenly said to Tang Bohu: "Honey, I think this

You are a good-looking admiral, and you are a close friend of the admiral's father-in-law. When you meet such a boss, your husband will be much more relaxed in the future."

Hearing Shen Jiuniang's words, Tang Bohu smiled bitterly and said, "Jiuniang, you have only seen the Admiral, and today he came as a private person, so you see it is just an appearance, but if it is you

I saw him when I was working on my daily life. That was completely different. It was not an exaggeration to call him decisive. For example, the commander Cheng of Dinghaiwei was cancelled by him just because he was one day late.

After the position, he didn't even give him the face of the governor. So I dare not be careless about such a boss!"

Shen Jiuniang and Tang Bohu arrived at Ningbo Port not long ago, and they didn't know many people. In addition, she, a woman, rarely goes out, so she doesn't know much about the outside world's news, and she doesn't know where Zhou Chong came to Ningbo Port.

What he did. Now when I heard my husband's words, I was very interested and began to ask Tang Bohu about Zhou Chong. Tang Bohu also loved his wife very much, so he did not hide it and told everything he knew about Zhou Chong.

Once again, but only the matter of Jin Pingmei was hidden.

After leaving Tang Bohu's house, Zhou Chong did not return to his residence, but moved along Yongjiang North Street. After all, after he arrived in Ningbo, he was busy with official duties and rarely had such a leisure time, and it was even more impossible to come out.

This is the first time he has calmed down to appreciate the local customs and culture of Ningbo.

Zhou Chong went shopping until evening, and dinner was also done in a clean shop on the street. Speaking of Ningbo, the seafood here is very good. Especially the snow-carves yellow croaker, which is very popular with Zhou Chong.

A dish.

In the next few days, Zhou Chong began to get busy again. After all, the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, and the government will also have a holiday. Although the army must always keep alert, it will also implement a rotational break. Therefore, before the holiday, Zhou is important to make some

Arrange the affairs.

Among them, Yang Tong and others were responsible for the Maritime Warehouse Department, which made the tax revenue slowly get on track, and Xie Di dared not cause trouble for the time being. In addition, the Maritime Warehouse Department has begun to expand its personnel and wait until the spring of next year begins.

Afterwards, Zhou Chong planned to ask the Maritime Bureau to set up a branch in Shuangyu Port and then began to take over the tax on smuggling merchant ships at Shuangyu Port. Now there is nothing big about it for the time being.

In contrast, what Zhou Chong is most concerned about is the training of the army. As Zhou Chong's deputy, Shen Ying is now in charge of the training of the army. Although he is not very proficient in naval warfare, some parts of the army are connected.

, and he also knew his shortcomings, so he did not interfere with the training of the navy. He gave it to the two commanders of the guard Qu Lie and Chang Xiao, who were only responsible for supervision.

"Boom boom boom boom~" On the endless sea, several main warships of the Ming Dynasty were testing guns. The cannons on these ships kept ringing one after another. The broken warship as the target ship was already being beaten to pieces.

The hole and the hull have also been tilted, and it seems that it may sink at any time.

"Admiral, the Flang machine cannon you provide is really amazing. You can shoot several shells in a few breaths, and you don't have to worry about blowing up the chamber. After these main warships are replaced with this kind of cannon,

The combat power immediately rose several levels. I believe that even if I encounter the Portuguese navy, I can fight head-on!" On one of the main warships, Shen Ying, who had white hair and beard, put down the telescope in her hand, was full of praise.

The opening of the mouth.

Before the Spring Festival holiday, Zhou Chong specially transferred a lot of newly cast Flang machine artillery from Shuangyu Port, and then replaced the artillery from several main warships, and then summoned the main generals in the army to test the artillery. The result was

Unexpectedly good.

"General God said it right. Now, just a few main warships replaced with the Flanger cannons will have such power. If the entire army's warships were replaced with the Flanger cannons, then it would be invincible.

The Portuguese are nothing at all!" Qu Lie also smiled at this time. He was also extremely shocked by the power of this new artillery, and he was more confident in defeating the Portuguese that Zhou Chong mentioned.

However, Zhou Chong did not agree with Shen Ying and Qu Lie's words, and he also found that Chang Xiao, who was tall and strong next to him, did not speak out, but just frowned and showed a worried expression. It seemed that he was not

I agree with Shen Ying and the others.

As early as when the army was started, Zhou Chong summoned several major generals in the army and told them about his purpose of taking over the navy and the plan to assist Malacca City, which made Qu Lie, Chang Xiao and others very much.

Excited and worked harder when training. After all, for the generals like them, only by making military achievements can they be promoted. Therefore, as long as they are ambitious generals, they will not be afraid of war.

"General God, General Qu, you are too optimistic. Now it is no longer an era where a weapon can determine the outcome of a war. Although the power of the Flor cannon is strong, don't forget that this kind of fire cannon was originally Florida.

The robots developed, Portugal must have used this kind of artillery on warships, and they are more experienced than us. In addition, their warships are tall and their soldiers have rich combat experience. With the current strength of our Ming Navy, I am afraid that even if it is

It is still difficult to win head-on when using the same weapon as the Portuguese!" Zhou Chong finally spoke at this time, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he poured a basin of cold water on Shen Ying and the others.

Shenying and the others were also happy and confused. Otherwise, they would not have thought of such a simple thing. Now, when Zhou Chong reminded him, both of them immediately woke up and nodded repeatedly.

In contrast, Chang Xiao seemed much calmer, and he said in agreement: "What the Admiral said is that although the fire rate of this kind of Folang machine cannon is fast, the range is close.

There are many, but this is not a big deal for the navy. After all, the firing of the sea was to get close to it, so what we need to do now is to fully understand the performance of the Flang machine cannon, and then next

During the past few months, the gunners were trained and familiar with artillery. Even if they could not compete head-on with the Portuguese in the future, they would not be too far from the other side!"

"Yes, as far as I know, the Portuguese navy is well-trained, and the army has detailed requirements for many tactical actions, such as how far apart the two ships are allowed to fire, and each gunner can not replace the shells for more than how long it takes for each gunner to reinstall the shells.

Wait, although these things are trivial, they can sometimes exert unexpected power on the battlefield."

Zhou Chong paused at this point, glanced at Shen Ying and others and then continued, "We must learn humbly about the strengths of the enemy. I even planned to try to capture more prisoners after successfully attacking the Portuguese.

Force these prisoners to pass on their experience in naval battles to our Ming Dynasty naval masters, so you all prepare me!"

"As for the order!" Shen Ying and others immediately said loudly without hesitation after hearing this. Although Zhou Chong asked them to learn from the prisoners, they all felt a little repulsive, Zhou Chong had already established the majesty of commander in the army, as the military order was called

Rushan, so as long as it was his order, Shen Ying and others dared not question it at all, which also means that Zhou Chong had initially mastered this navy.

After testing the power of the Flang machine cannon, Zhou Chong visited the navy's training again. Now the entire navy's 100-hundred-household offices have put in full training, hoping to squeeze into the top five in the future competition.

Ten, so that they can get better treatment. There is even a rumor in the army that the selected army will fight against foreign countries. Although the battle is dangerous, it is not considered a relatively generous pension.

What, therefore, has further stimulated the army's enthusiasm for training.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. Almost all the shops closed down on that day. It turned out that the prosperous Ningbo Port was deserted and the government was on holiday. Zhou Chong was no exception. He took him with him.
