"Come with me." Zhu Youxiao said that, and ordered behind him: "Without my will, no one will break into the house, and the sky will not fall."

Everyone looked at each other and said yes, so they had to watch the emperor and the others walk into the hut.

Not long after, Chen Yourong's wife and a few sons also rushed from the field, and when they heard the words of the people around them, they couldn't believe it.

The small house where Chen Yourong's ancestor lived is a typical farmer's house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a large iron pot of firewood. The birds were black and I don’t know how many years it had been used on it.

Three or four steps forward, cross the small threshold, and then you will arrive at the main house.

The cottage is not large in size, about fifty square meters in later generations, with kangs on both sides. Zhu Youxiao sat on one side and looked back and forth.

Chen Yourong was even more shocked by the current emperor's approachableness. Before he could kneel down, Zhu Youxiao said:

"I came in to ask you, what are the disadvantages of the Denglai Navy in the Battle of Penghu?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were bright.

"I hope you don't hide it. This is related to the court's future plan. I intend to devote my efforts to building a navy. The pros and cons of this battle are the top priority."

"You are a general of the imperial court's coastal defense for many years. I want to hear your true thoughts."

Chen Yourong was stunned and then sighed, "Your Majesty forgive me for your words."

"In the battle of Penghu, my Navy Division of Denglai was far inferior to the Red Barbarian Warship. It was not the size of a lucky ship, but the reason for the artillery on the ship."

"Although the Zhenlu cannon is equal to the range of the Red Armor cannon on the Red Armor warship, its power is far from enough, and the number of artillery on the My Fu ship is the same."

Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought and replied:

"I'm listening."

Chen Yourong had to continue, "The bottom of Fujian warships was wide, with a sharp head and a wide tail and a raised end. The main building materials were pine, pine, camphor and nanmu from Fujian, so they were the sharpest."

"The location of the fireboat is limited to the three-story boat tower at the stern. Some blessed boats are only two-story boat towers. The largest blessed boat cannons cannons of less than fifteen gates."

"In this battle, although the Red Barbarian Warship is not as tall as my navy's blessing ship, even the least one has thirty or forty cannons."

"The Queen warship is only about the size of our lucky ship, but it can hold more than fifty extremely powerful cannons!"

"The sails on the Red Barbarian Warship are also stronger and durable than the sails of my navy, and are extremely flexible and lightweight at sea."

"Your Majesty, although we have won, the losses of the warships and the casualties of the officers and soldiers are several times that of the Red Barbarians...!"

As he was talking, Chen Yourong suddenly noticed that the person above had disappeared at some point.

I slowly looked up and saw that the emperor's eyes were already as gloomy as water, which made people shudder, and my heart was even more uneasy.

"You finally told me the truth."

Surprisingly, Zhu Youxiao didn't look angry, his face was very calm and he said:

"It is because I know this that I have to cooperate with Franchise to establish a shipyard in Tianjin and apply the technology on their warships to the Ming navy."

At this moment, the naval strength of countries around the world is changing with each passing day. Today is the strongest of the Dutch, and it may be replaced by the British tomorrow.

Now in Europe, galleys have been completely eliminated and are not used as main warships at all. The Galen Sailing Ship, which has been rampant on the sea for a century, has entered its last time.

The future is an era of battleships queuing and artillery battles!

This battle proved that even the lucky ship was far behind in terms of flexibility and firepower than the backward Garen sailboat.

The most important thing is that even Zhu Youxiao did not expect that the number of artillery on board of Fu Ship and those completely modified Galen Sailboat would be so different!

Zhu Youxiao focused on using advanced Western navigation technology to develop the Ming Dynasty's own characteristic warship.

As the most rugged and durable type of ship along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, Fujian warships were already behind, but it was proved in this battle that it had the basis for modification and upgrading.

Materials are the general term for ship units by people at that time. Simply put, the larger the amount, the more displacement of the warship, the taller the warship.

According to later generations, the 400-four-fu ships, which are the main force of the Denglai Navy, are roughly equivalent to the displacement of more than 70 tons.

This tonnage can only be regarded as an ordinary large warship.

Before this, the Ming Dynasty also had many giant ships of two thousand materials, but due to the stagnation of navigation technology and the gradual collapse of the imperial finance, most naval masters could no longer afford such giant warships.

Since the Jiajing period, two thousand tall and durable materials have slowly disappeared along the coast.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao got up and left. As soon as he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around and said:

"Shen Aiqing, you can enjoy your old age."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao came to the courtyard and officially proclaimed in the eyes of everyone: "Dengzhou General Shen Yourong has been the country's sea for half his life. I have approved what he reported and allowed him to return to the hospital."

"I have been working hard and I have been awarded the title of Ning Haibo!"

"The Secretary of State Li proposed an order, and asked Shen Yourong's third son Shen Shouyue to replace the position of General Denglai, and to be appointed as a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, and the rest of the sons and the military positions of the Fuweiwei."

After the words came to an end, Zhu Youxiao turned his back without any nostalgia.

Looking at the emperor and his group who were leaving from afar, Shen Shouyue still seemed a little unbelievable. After standing there for a while, he suddenly jumped up with joy.

"Father! Father, Your Majesty wants to reuse our Shen family! Did you hear that?"

"I am now the general of Dengzhou!"

Shen Yourong looked at his son with a worried look on his face. He didn't react. He actually won the title of title?

Although it is only Bo, and not hereditary, only his generation, it is enough to make people feel dazed and extremely unbelievable.

Ning Haibo...What a resounding name!

Since the Ming Dynasty, there are only a few people who have won titles through their military achievements.

And he, Shen Yourong, naturally became famous in history. According to the old rules, a historian would soon come here to make a history for him, Ning Haibo, the Ming Dynasty!

After living through life and death for the imperial court, Shen Yourong finally got the reward he deserved. For a moment, he burst into tears.

He looked over from afar and wanted to take a look at the current emperor again.

Unfortunately, Zhu Youxiao's figure is now hidden among the many cavalry and civil and military ministers, and can no longer be seen.

Shen Yourong still knelt slowly on the ground, taking his wife and children with him, and said convincedly: "My minister Shen Yourong, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Shen Shouyue also said, "I, Shen Shouyue, will definitely not embarrass my father. I will serve Your Majesty, clarify Haibo, and be named and appointed as a general!"

Shen Yourong turned his head and looked at these young and energetic children and said:

"Your Majesty treats my Shen family like this. If any of you refuses to die for Your Majesty or for the Ming Dynasty, don't blame your father for not recognizing your son."

The other seven sons of the Shen family had actually swear in their hearts, and looked at each other without hesitation, saying:

"We must do our best to serve the Ming Dynasty and die for Your Majesty!"
