Although Marin has very little oil in his hands now, with the opening of the Persian route, it is still no problem to import dozens of ships of oil a year.
Therefore, it is unrealistic to promote diesel engines across the country, but only a few warships can be installed, and the fuel supply can be provided. According to John Lafite's report, the French were only prepared to equip 6 Calais ships. If they want to target France, there are not many, and the same 6 are enough. The ships of the North Sea Kingdom themselves are more resistant to artillery attacks, and the warships will definitely be covered with iron and will be more resistant to beatings.
Then, each "Dover ship" pretended to be 8 single-cylinder diesel engines, which ran faster than the Calais ship... Marin couldn't think of any reason to lose to the 6 French Calais ships.
What is certain is that once those Calais ships are destroyed, France's dream of a great naval power will continue to decline...
But Marin does not intend to take action now, because England is not under Marin's jurisdiction, so he does not need to take action. It would be better if the Calais ship could bring England a few troubles. In this way, after he takes control of England, he can also drive the Dover ship to kill the French Calais ship, and he can also gain a wave of reputation in England. But while attacking the French navy, he will inevitably have to bear the revenge of France on land. Therefore, Marin has now ordered the construction of border defense and core regional defense lines. It is nothing more than to prepare for the entry into England...
At this time, Pregent Biddus, who wanted to bravely lead the French Navy to defeat the English, is currently busy receiving six Calais ships from the Strait of Gibraltar. However, there are no artillery on this Calais ship...
No wonder, with the Spanish style, how could a warship equipped with 7,000-pound lizard guns allow warships to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar? Therefore, the six Calais ships were all decomposed with all weapons to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar. As for the six Calais ships, the Venetians sent another merchant ship to hide the artillery in the bottom cabin and quietly transported it to France, and then asked the French to place the artillery on the bow of the ship again...
Although the lizard monster cannon weighs 7,000 pounds and is very heavy, it doesn’t matter to the French. There are many people and many craftsmen. As long as you use manpower and machinery, the 7,000 pound heavy cannon can also be transported.
Once the lizard monster cannon is transported and loaded onto the warship, just waiting for the weak wind weather, it is a great time for the Calais ship to go out to sea to find bad luck in England...
But poor Bidus didn't know that before he could hit the English, Marin had already stared at the news of his ship and guns, and also created a more powerful "Dover ship". If Bidus knew this, he would definitely vomit blood and shout, "Is the Calais ship (Yu) and the Dover ship (Liang)?"
...
After deciding the modification plan, Marin returned to Orich. When he was fine, he still had time to teach the children to study. Seeing that Jack Ma gradually grew up, he would definitely be sent to the Ming Dynasty to "study abroad" when he became an adult. So, from now on, Marin began to focus on Jack Ma's studies.
Unlike Caesar's learning content, in order to adapt to the Ming Dynasty society, Ma Lin asked Jack Ma to start directly from the Four Books and Five Classics when he was learning Chinese. Moreover, he also asked Doctor Liu, who was well-read in poetry, to help teach.
Although Doctor Liu was an imperial physician, he had studied and passed the scholar. However, he had not passed the imperial examination, otherwise he would have abandoned the doctor and studied literature. After all, civil servants were considered human beings in the Ming Dynasty, and medical officials could not be promoted.
Although Ma Lin is the soul of China, he has received education under the Hongqi since childhood and is really not good at ancient Chinese. Therefore, the task of educating Jack Ma Xiao’s Four Books and Five Classics fell on Doctor Liu. For the future of his descendants, Old Liu still tried his best to teach Jack Ma Xiao’s reading.
Moreover, Lao Liu had a wish, which was to let his grandson return to the Ming Dynasty with Jack Ma, and it would be better to find a job. He was judged as Liu Jin's party and was no longer a member of the "eunuch party" who could not gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty. If it was normal, it would be difficult for their whole family to return to the Ming Dynasty, and even if they went back, they would be despised. But if they held Jack Ma's thigh, it would be fine. The Ming Dynasty could not tolerate the eunuch party, but Dongfan Island could do it. Anyway, it was within the Ming Dynasty, so it was considered a "returning home". He was already old and had no hope of returning home. However, his grandchildren were still young and still had hope to go back, even if they lived on Dongfan Island.
Ma Lin naturally had no objection to this. As long as he educated Jack Ma well, he would still be allowed to have this selfish intention. As for Lao Liu's educational level, Ma Lin didn't care. Because he asked Jack Ma to study the Four Books and Five Classics, not to really let him take the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, but to let him not understand what others said when facing those Ming Dynasty civil officials.
The civil officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties were influenced by the eight-part essays and liked to quote scriptures and classics when speaking, but refused to express their meaning, but liked to make people guess. This is not the fault of those civil officials, but the imperial examination regulations are as follows: the classics must be quoted and classics are not allowed to have their own opinions...
Therefore, not only did they become like this in writing style, but they also like to quote scriptures and beat around the bush. They don’t have a certain foundation for the Four Books and Five Classics, and they don’t understand what they are saying.
Just like when Marin went to the Ming Dynasty last time, he was fine talking to people, especially when talking to eunuchs, he was even more refreshing. But when talking to those civil servants, he always asked you to guess. It wasn't that people did this on purpose, but he had already formed a habit.
If you go to the Ming Dynasty occasionally, you naturally don’t need to compensate those Ming civil officials to play the game “Guess I Guess”. But Jack Ma must understand if he wants to do activities in the Ming Dynasty in the future, otherwise he will be fooled.
Therefore, Ma Lin asked Doctor Liu, who had passed the scholarship exam, to help teach Jack Ma's Four Books and Five Classics so that he could adapt to his future life in the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, Caesar and Robert often ran over to listen. After all, they were children, and they were also very interested in different cultures in foreign lands.
Moreover, Caesar has a good foundation in Chinese and started learning Chinese very early, so it is easier to accept listening to Dr. Liu's lectures. However, because Robert is not his heir, he has never learned Chinese that Marin regarded as a secret secret, which sounds naturally difficult.
Fortunately, Jack Ma is the same. He has no foundation, so the two brothers are in trouble together. They are often beaten red and swollen by Doctor Liu's small board.
In this regard, Ma Lin also strongly supported and repeatedly emphasized to Jack Ma that it is necessary to respect teachers and respect the truth. In the Ming Dynasty, students must never disobey teachers and commanders... Therefore, these boards are "compulsory courses"...
On this day, when the three children, including Ma Lin, were listening to Doctor Liu's lecture, Doctor Liu talked about the word "大" and wanted to give Jack Ma a name. This was a custom in the Ming Dynasty - the teacher helped him get the word "大".
But Marin waved his hand and said:
"No need, Xiao Jack Ma's word "was already ready" - Huateng..."
Doctor Liu was a little disappointed. You should know that giving a word "大大" to students is also a kind of determination of the relationship between teachers and students. Unlike ordinary disciples who flatter famous teachers, Doctor Liu went to curry favor with Jack Ma, so he naturally took the initiative to help him get the word "大大" and established the relationship between teachers and students first. However, Malin didn't give him this opportunity...
At this time, Caesar, who was listening, suddenly asked:
"Dad, do I have a Chinese name?"
Marin thought for a while and said:
"Macaisar? If not, just call Macais..."
"That word..."
At this time, Doctor Liu interrupted:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is noble and elegant, so why not take the name Dehua?"
