After Han Tong finished speaking, he said firmly: "I think this article cannot be discussed below!"

Zhang Xuwen and Li Pingzhi looked at each other, and after a while, they actually burst into laughter.

Everyone was confused. Li Pingzhi stopped laughing and shook his head and said, "It's okay, this one can be agreed to them. But it's better to fight and act reluctantly. Mao Wenlong thought we suffered a great loss, but in the end he agreed to them unwillingly... Don't worry, don't talk about this ship, even in Guangzhou, Fujian, the province with the most shipbuilders, it's very difficult to copy it."

"Is this really the case?" Han Tong said with some concern: "Would it be too arrogant?"

"This is the gap of the times." Li Pingzhi said with emotion: "No wonder Mao Wenlong and Brother Han don't know that some of the gap in technology can be made up, while others will be difficult to catch up in the short term. You don't know how much price and effort we have paid to make up for the gap in shipbuilding. Dongjiang Town wants to imitate it? It can only be a joke!"

...

Dozens of craftsmen knelt on the ground, each of them looked trembling. After kowtow, they all lowered their heads, and no one dared to look up at Mao Wenlong.

These craftsmen were selected from the Liao people who fled. They were originally craftsmen used by the generals of various garrisons or Liao Town. After the war, ordinary people and military households fled. Of course, these craftsmen also ran out. After arriving in Dongjiang, due to the shortage of craftsmen, these craftsmen were collectively used. Most of the things they did were to build swords, guns, bows and arrows, repair soldiers' armor, etc. Of course, there was no workshop-like thing in Dongjiang Town, and the armor could not be made by themselves, so they could only be repaired.

Usually these craftsmen live in shanty towns and cannot reach the core area at all. Like other Ming army towns, the highest status is of course the generals, then the staff and civil servants of each general, then the ordinary battalion soldiers and ordinary military households, and then the craftsmen. If the normal social class is a pyramid, the number of people at the bottom of the tower should be the largest and military households. However, in the military town, the lowest level is also the craftsmen with the least number of people. Their living conditions are worse than that of military households. In Dongjiang, it is because the craftsmen are nervous. These people have a good meal and are better than before. However, these craftsmen never expected that they would be summoned by Mao Wenlong.

"You are protected and supported by my Dongjiang River," Mao Wenlong said without saying a word. Mao Chenglu said to the group of craftsmen: "You must take effect and not be slackened. You are just the skills in your hands. Since you can create ordinary things and someone has built a small boat, you must learn more and watch more and build a big boat. You can go to Heyusheng's big boat every day for more than ten days, and even the inner cabin can be entered. Everyone is happy to learn to see it, remember the skeleton structure of the ship, and then the commander allocates it to the application. You try to build the Heyusheng's big boat at the port."

Mao Chenglu looked at the trembling craftsmen below, and said, "As long as you do your job in a solid manner, the commander will not be stingy with rewards. From today on, each of you can receive a bucket of refined grain every month. After the ship is built, each of you can receive five taels of silver."

For the generals of Dongjiang, this is a very heavy reward. There has always been a grain shortage in Pidao and Dongjiang Town controlled areas. The imperial court only has a small amount of treasury to raise soldiers and build weapons. Dengzhou and Tianjin support grain and groceries, and they do their own business and sell some of them. The three are still a drop in the bucket. In addition, the farming and extortion of North Korea are still not enough. The Liao people are ten times more hungry than before they flee. Every winter is a severe challenge. In comparison, if these craftsmen can obtain the supply of refined grain, they can at least ensure that they and their families are not hungry.

The craftsmen were indeed moved and lie on the ground and kowtowed.

Mao Wenlong didn't care. This was a trivial matter after all. He had tried hard to compromise with Yusheng, and let go of the cabin and sent people to learn from Dongjiang Town. It was not difficult to imitate it. All they needed were iron nails, rigging, sails, wood, tung oil and other items. It was not difficult to build a ship as much as these items.

Not only Mao Chenglu, but also Mao Wenlong's confidant generals such as Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan have already booked a new ship. Of course, Mao Wenlong did not intend to give it to any of them. This ship is a powerful weapon, and he also has to find a way to cast cannons. Compared with the ship, Mao Wenlong felt that casting cannons was difficult and the cost was extremely high. However, since there was a ship, he had to find a way to equip the cannons. Once a few large ships on the sea were built, he would argue with He Yusheng again about this matter.

...

Wen Zhong, Bad Tou and others had already returned to the 12th Regiment's headquarters. Since Dongjiang Town agreed to make way for the previous defense zone of Kuandian, its main force either went to Tieshan and Yizhou areas or moved to the area of ​​Phoenix City. To the north of Kuandian, Niomaozhai and Abudaligang and the former Dong'e troops were all responsible for the 12th Regiment. In this way, the defense zone of the 12th Regiment was expanded several times, and the pressure suddenly doubled. Wen Zhong and others dared not delay, and they were already rushing back to arrange defense.

Chen, Liangce and his subordinates had arrived a few days ago and were on the Zhenlu Guard.

Knowing that this time, the islands that went south for thousands of miles were in the eyes of the Tang people, Huguang was all smoky and smoky. Huguang was only opened in the Song Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, Fujian and Guangdong were still regarded as remote places, but officials were demoted and demoted to Yunnan and Guizhou. Taiwan was a standard place of transformation at this time, and the island of the extreme south was not a poor and unrestrained Liao people who were willing to go abroad thousands of miles away? Chen and Liangce's family were crying. Chen and Liangce were also sad, but they had to bear the choice they made. Fortunately, their lives were saved, and they might also return to Liaodong in the future...

"Brother Chen doesn't have to do this." Although Zhang Xuwen did not have the determination to save Chen and Liang Ce's life, he still admired this civil servant in his heart. When Liaodong was in chaos, everyone was panicked under the Jurchen army. Chen, Liang Ce could resolutely at that time, but it still needed courage and loyalty. Seeing Chen, Liang Ce leaning on the side of the ship, he looked sad and uncontrollable, Zhang Xuwen comforted him: "The situation in Taiwan is not what the brother thought. You will know when you arrive. To be honest, it is much better than Liaodong."

"I have heard of this." Chen Liang Ce was already a dead person according to the agreement. Everyone died, so there was no official position. The following titles such as the following official position were exempted. He said with a bitter face: "You have been operating there for a long time. I heard that the island is warm, the land is fertile, and there are many wild animals. Some people who have gone back to bring letters and praise it as if they were in the sky. I am not afraid of going to endure hardships, but my hometown is hard to leave. Moreover, Liaodong is facing the threat of Jianlu, and I am a person who is willing to do something and does not want to live a mess. When I think of this, I feel very uncomfortable."

Zhang Xuwen said seriously: "Since Brother Chen has followed us to Taiwan, with Brother Chen's talent, how could we tell you to live a life? It's our foundation. In fact, the Spanish and Dutch people are coveting that treasure island. These Thai men may not know that they are not under Jianlu's behavior."

Zhang Xuwen told the Spanish about the previous massacres of the Han people in Luzon. Chen Liang Ce was furious when he heard this. He patted the ship's side with both hands and said, "I hate that the Ming Dynasty has declined recently. Otherwise, the emperor should have launched a large army and completely wiped out those ugly people!"

"This matter will not be done by the court." Li Pingzhi said bluntly, "We and Yu Sheng are here!"

Chen Liangce was only then seriously looking at the two young people... One was deep and introverted, the other was full of spirit, but there was no difference between them. Looking at the high fighting spirit and the confident aura in their eyes. Looking at the He Yusheng and others around them, they were almost the same expression and temperament. Chen Liangce suddenly realized that he was limited to Dongjiang and Denglai before, and actually ignored the powerful forces around him, and could build an organization that could raise so many talents in front of him, and control so many rare talents. What kind of powerful person was that Zhang Han?

At this time, the craftsmen from Pi Island came over again, attracting the attention of everyone in He Yusheng.

Today, the ship is about to set sail. According to the agreement with Dongjiang Town, these craftsmen can board the ship for more than ten days of docking. They can even answer questions about their questions, and never hide their personalities.

Today is the last time the craftsmen boarded the boat. Everyone tried their best to observe the structure of the hull. A few days ago, they took a small boat around the hull to watch. Some of them had built the boat and jumped into the sea to the bottom of the boat to touch it for a long time.

In front of He Yusheng and others, this was a group of beggars, dressed in rags, withered expressions, and thin, as if a strong wind could blow them down.

Before these man-made ships were called, the craftsmen had only coarse grains to collect on the island every month, and wild vegetables were used to make porridge, barely filling their stomachs. Recently, the fine grains were produced, but most of the craftsmen had to support their families. It was still impossible to eat with their stomachs, but they were more and better than before.

After just ten days of "good days", these craftsmen's faces actually had flesh and blood on their faces, which was indeed much stronger than the previous skeleton-like appearance.

"Thank you, the adults, for taking care of you recently."

After a while, when the big ship was preparing to lift the anchor and raise the sail, a craftsman led the man to Li Pingzhi and Zhang Xuwen, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

Zhang Xuwen looked at these people and felt a little embarrassed. He said, "I'm afraid I can't build this ship. If Mao Shuai retreats you, we will definitely take it to He Yusheng's side."

These craftsmen were also very clear in their hearts. Not to mention asking them to watch for ten days, even if they watch for another hundred days, it would be useless. It would be impossible to create them.

The method of making this ship is completely different from that of Chinese ship manufacturing processes, and the materials and work are very complicated and sophisticated... He Yusheng has so many excellent technicians and Russians, and it took two months to repair the ship. It took the British man-made Marine Monarch nearly two years. It was not so easy to build the Western sail battleship. Even if this ship is smaller, its craftsmanship is the same as a large ship. A group of ordinary craftsmen, only a few of them are craftsmen from southern Liaoning. They have built small boats and fishing boats for official use. At this level, they want to build the Garen ship with more than ten days of observation and learning. Mao Wenlong and other senior executives in Dongjiang really dare to think about it.
