"Well, this isn't a Garen ship?"

"Of course not..." Dyzhnev pointed to the drawings and said, "It's just a concept now. I don't plan to build it in Tomsk. In the Netherlands, there is only one model ship with a double-brid. If this ship can be built, the speed of this sailboat will be much higher than that of an ordinary large sailboat, and it has a strong effect. I think Lord Zhang will understand it when he thinks about it."

Zhang Han smiled slightly... This Russian still wants to take the exam to compete with him at this time?

He didn't think too long. The sailboat on the drawing in front of him had a long hull, but the bow and stern did not have the unique bow design of the Galen ship and the stern tower, nor was it a cross sail. It was just composed of small faceted spinnakers and two-masted sails. In this way, its light design and the multi-faceted force design of the sail would make this sailboat lighter and more wise, and of course faster.

Although this ship is a representative of light sailboats, the design drawings provided by Dezhnev also have gun positions, and there are more than a dozen cannons on both sides. This number and thin hull will definitely not be used to compete with serious warships, so its function is obvious...

Zhang Han looked at Jezhnev and smiled and said, "You are calling my subordinates to be pirates."

"The act of war between countries." Dyzhnev shrugged: "How can he be considered a pirate?"

"Robber logic..." Zhang Han cursed in his heart, but his most eager smile appeared on his face: "So, dear sir, can this kind of ship be built with confidence?"

"Of course there is no absolute certainty." Dyzhnev's attitude was still quite cold.

Being able to get Zhang Han's recognition means having a lot of funds to support his dream, but Dyzhnev's heart was even more painful... It was not the motherland that supported him, but the hired strangers. This feeling was really a very different story!

Zhang Han had already confirmed that this was a famous schooner and a famous ship. During the British-Dutch War, the British began to allow civilians to plunder Dutch merchant ships, which were regarded as acts of war, not as pirates. Later, the Pacific Ocean was full of British ships, and several famous ship owners appeared. Due to their great achievements, they plundered a large amount of wealth for the Queen of England. There were also many owners of the titles. These people actually did pirates, killing crew members, plundering ships, and robbing gold from the ship. However, because it was a government act, they were also protected and supported by the British government.

The Queen of England and the powerful and powerful invested on the ship. Although the ship was not entirely a schooner, the schooner was definitely the main force of the ship. This kind of sailing was light and fast, and it was so convenient to use it to rob the Clark sailing ships that transported cargo. In the vast sea, how many merchant ships could the warships of the Spanish and Dutch protect? In this shameless act of the British, the two traditional maritime powers were quickly defeated. They lost a lot of blood and were unable to make up for the future. The British became the dominant maritime power a hundred years later, and their maritime power exceeded the sum of the other countries. It was this ship system that helped the British!

"Please do your best." Zhang Han said to Deszhnev: "We will do our best to provide all financial, material and manpower support."

"Well." Jezhnev nodded with a reserved look, but the coldness on his face finally faded a lot. No matter what, Zhang Han was also helping him realize his dream, right?

"As for the two..." Zhang Han turned to Petrine and Madov. The two of them had not had cold faces, but were completely angry. Zhang Han smiled and said, "Let's enjoy the rest here. After a while, we will go north to determine the supply points and military stations along the way, and determine the trade points in the north. We and Yusheng will try our best to do manpower and material resources to determine the trade route as soon as possible. Then our porcelain, tea, silk products, and various Ming specialties will be shipped to the north continuously, and you will then transport them back to the European part of Russia and sell them to those Duanpai, Dutch and British. Don't worry, our Ming Dynasty's products are gold and silver!"

"Oh, Lord!" Petrien perfectly explained what the face turned from gloomy to clear. He rushed over and hugged Zhang Han heavily. The bearded man on his face almost touched Zhang Han's face. Tears surged in his blue eyes. He said to Zhang Han: "What a miracle, the blessing of the Lord!"

Zhang Han pushed away the big bear and smiled.

...

"My husband will be very smooth, right?" Chang Ning asked softly.

Zhang Han said: "No problem... This time it's an alliance. Chechen Khan and Zasaktu Khan from the three Khans of the Mobei region also sent people to express their surrender. The next step they should have waited for my envoys, but now I have all gone in person. What's wrong with things? Below is to choose a site to build a supply site, a military station, and a small number of military stations to build a trade point between us and the Russians."

Chang Ning stared at Zhang Han, his eyes shining with crystal clear water, and the feeling of expectation and trust was very obvious.

Chang Ning said in a gentle tone: "I'll come back earlier this time."

Zhang Han felt helpless. The time for reunion was short, but he wanted to part again. The woman in front of him and the other two made him feel guilty... It was so long that he had been together.

This time, even if everything goes well, it will take two months. I guess I will come back again, not far from the New Year.

"I will definitely rush back as soon as possible." Zhang Han knew that the woman wanted a guarantee and promise. He hugged Chang Ning in his arms, felt the softness and smoothness of the other person's hair, looked at the snow-whiteness on his neck, and smelled the fragrance of the girl's body, and almost couldn't raise the courage to continue traveling far.

Chang Ning tied a big cloak for Zhang Han, and her thin onion-like fingers kept flipping in front of Zhang Han. Her movements were gentle and slow, and she felt a little reluctant to tie them, but in the end she gently and steadily tied Zhang Han's cloak.

"It looks so good." Chang Ning smiled with his lips, his eyes curled into crescent moons.

Zhang Han actually blushed... In fact, he looks very ordinary, just tall, and has been training in the military camp for a long time, with wide shoulders and thin waists. He is a typical long-term sportsman with a little masculinity... However, these are very ordinary in the Heyusheng system. Northern men are not short at first, and soldiers and officials in the military camp are trained.

He looked into the large dressing mirror... This was specially sent by the Jesu of Macau. It was probably not even available in the palace.

A very clear image of a man was in the mirror. He was indeed tall, with ordinary face, wide eyebrows and eyes, big hands, hard joints, and thick blood vessels... This was the result of frequent force. Whether it was bows and arrows or muskets, Zhang Han had put in some effort. That was what he did when he was very small in the past few years and felt a sense of crisis was always there. At that time, Zhang Han often dreamed that he was surrounded by large straits of chaotic soldiers and needed to rush left and right to break out of the siege. At that time, Zhang Han was also practicing martial arts without any hesitation, for fear of actually encountering a dream situation.

Of course it's not time to rest assured...

Zhang Han hardened his heart, kissed Chang Ning on the cheek, and then walked out strode.

As soon as Zhang Han left the main door, a bunch of people standing under the eaves of the corridor were bowing down, holding the wet nurses of the two children, the thick servants who swept the floor, Yu Niang and Yang Liu stood in front.

"I'm waiting to see you off for me." Yang Liu took the lead and said, "I wish you all the best in this trip."

Yu Niang said, "I hope the master will return home as soon as possible."

Zhang Han smiled and said, "It must be, of course I have to come back before the New Year."

More than two months after the Chinese New Year, Zhang Han estimated that he should come back.

He strode towards the gate of the inner and outer courtyards. This place was originally a Buddhist temple. The lamas ran away and disappeared. Zhang Han left only a few important temples without use, leaving them for a few important living Buddhas. The rest of the temples were enlisted as offices or military camps of the military department. The Buddhist temple where Zhang Han lived was demolished and renovated. Of course, it was not as comfortable as Li Zhuang's mansion. Everything was being renovated. However, in terms of size, it was much larger than Li Zhuang's mansion.

There were military camps all around. When Zhang Han went out, soldiers from multiple squads or squadrons passed by. The soldiers raised their spears or muskets and saluted their supreme commander.

Zhang Han raised his hand and returned the tribute, with a solemn expression. This trip to the north was much more important than people imagined... Zhang Han is now digging the corners of the Jurchens, and he must poach a large part of the Jurchens' allies in advance. The Jurchens' strategic situation changed from the Tianqi period to the Chongzhen period. During the Chongzhen period, Dongjiang Town and North Korea were respectively dealt with by the Later Jin Dynasty. Then Huang Taiji fought against Chahar Mongolia during the Tianqi period. The three khans in Mobei submitted tribute and surrendered. The whole Mongolia was crawling under the Jurchens' horse hooves without any worries. The grassland was its own territory. Of course, it was to break from wherever it wanted. The first time was from the Gubeikou of Xifengkou, and the second time was to break from Xuanda. The Ming Dynasty became the pasture of the Jurchens, entering and leaving at will, freely coming and going.

This is the important point of the strategic situation. The force involved and restraint is gone. Small countries can focus on attacking big countries. However, during the same period, the Ming Dynasty had to use half of its power to eliminate and kill peasant troops due to the agitation of civil unrest. Although both the Ming and Qing dynasties were big countries and small countries, there were qualitative changes in the strategic situation during the Chongzhen period.

What Zhang Han has to do now is not only to make Mobei surrender, but also to establish a practical chain of interests so that Mobei will no longer have the chance to turn to the Jurchens.

The sound of drums sounded, and the officers and soldiers of the military began to gather together to see Zhang Han off. Everyone gathered in the square in front of the hall. The officers were dressed in neat robes and uniforms, and the soldiers were covered in armor, most of whom were going to go out with the war.

The Lancer Regiment has a large group of cavalrymen, and the First Gun Cavalry Regiment is almost all dispatched. In addition, the hunting cavalry battalion outside has reached a scale of nearly 5,000 soldiers. This force is enough to sweep the northern part of the Mobei, which will put great pressure on the Mongols in the northern part of the Mobei.
