Dengzhou.

After learning that all the Galen ships built this year were launched, Xiao Ming notified Yue Yun to go to Dengzhou.

During different seasons of the year, Yue Yun and the navy soldiers were also undergoing different trainings. A month ago, they practiced the warships in Dengzhou, and then they returned to Bowen Academy for maritime knowledge training, selecting outstanding people as the captains of the subsequent Garen ship.

Departing from Qingzhou and driving for three consecutive days, they arrived in Dengzhou City.

Yue Yun was not idle along the way, but was simulating various situations of maritime combat with the fourteen selected captains.

They placed the small ship model of the Garen ship on the deck, fifteen of the Qingzhou warships and twelve of the Dutch warships, and responded accordingly through the continuous changes in tactical formations between the two sides.

These battleship formations are all from the textbook "Sailing Battleship Naval Tactics", written by Xiao Ming'o to avoid the navy's severe damage to tactics in the early days.

Yue Yun has been reading this textbook for the past year. From the textbooks, he has a clear understanding of the sea encounters of sailing warships, and the setbacks in the battle of British warships made him no longer arrogant but cautious.

"Your Highness, we're here."

Dengzhou Military Port was right in front of you, Zhang Kun said at this time.

Nodding, Xiao Ming looked at the military port that had just been completed this year. At this time, fifteen warships were moored in the bay of the military port, three of which were very small and could be seen at a glance as the first batch of Garen ships. Now these three Garen ships have been repaired and restored to their previous appearance.

Then Xiao Ming looked outward, shocked.

Because there was a huge warship with four decks anchored there, when the merchant ship sailed past the side of the warship, the warship was like a giant beast and needed everyone to look up.

"Your Highness, this warship is a first-class sailing warship. This warship is 75 meters wide, twenty meters wide, nine meters in draft, and six thousand tons of water displacement. It can take 1,200 soldiers and 120 cannons at the same time."

Zhang Kun looked proud when he introduced it, which was enough to prove their Zhang family's shipbuilding level. If it weren't for the construction of this giant beast this year, they could have produced more third-level sail warships.

After all, according to the shipyard's shipbuilding plan, the third-class sailing warship is the main battleship built.

The merchant ship continued to sail towards the dock, and then there were three second-class warships, which were three-layer deck warships, which were only smaller than the first-class sail warships.

Next to the second-class sailing warship are four third-class warships and four fourth-class sailing warships. Now these warships dock in the bay one after another, and the scene is very magnificent.

For a moment, Xiao Ming was also shook his mind.

"Your Highness, this is a second-class warship, which can be built into nine hundred and sixty crew members..." Zhang Kun kept talking.

Yue Yun said excitedly: "Your Highness, the Dutch lost to us just the size of this warship. It is said that the Dutch have many colonies and their troops are very scattered. If the Dutch are defeated this time, the Dutch will be unable to support them at all."

"That's right, so as long as you defeat the Dutch, the sea area of ​​East Asia will be ours. Yue Yun, you must fight a beautiful battle for me this time. Whether the Qingzhou trade route can be opened depends on you." Xiao Ming said.

Yue Yun gritted his teeth and said, "The General of the United States will live up to His Highness's expectations. Moreover, the Dutch and Japan have always had close contacts. The General of the United States is still waiting to deal with the Japanese pirates and avenge their mother."

"As you wish." Xiao Ming smiled faintly.

The merchant ship with the flag of King Qi attracted Zhang Liang's attention when entering the bay. At this time, the shipbuilding craftsmen, led by Zhang Liang, were waiting for the merchant ship to dock on the shore.

Xiao Ming felt a little accomplished when he looked at the closer and closer pier. This bay is also a deep-water port in modern times. It is precisely because of this that he chose the shipbuilding workshop here and made it a military port in Qingzhou.

The merchant ship docked, Xiao Ming got off the merchant ship, and Zhang Liang and his group immediately bowed and bowed.

"No gifts, warships are launched, you are all heroes. I have asked Pang Changshi to restore your Qingzhou household registration. From then on, your Zhang family's slave status will be lifted. In this way, I can be regarded as a corresponding promise."

"Your Highness..."

Zhang Liang suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and Zhang Kun also looked surprised.

Although they have eaten well, dressed well, and lived the same life as normal people in the past two years, the identity of slaves has always been a shackle on them, because they understand that as long as the identity of slaves is, they will be inferior to others.

After waiting for two years, they finally waited for this day.

"Thank you for your great kindness!"

Zhang Liang suddenly burst into tears. The Zhang family has gone through too many changes over the years. Now, they have finally gradually regained their former glory.

"Your Highness's words are all the same, and I admire you in my heart." Zhang Kun was much calmer and laughed.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming said, "Today is a happy day, so don't cry. Let's take a look at this warship."

Zhang Liang wiped his tears and said, "Your Highness."

The pier extends from the shore to the sea, with a length of 300 meters. These warships dock on both sides of the pier.

Taking Xiao Ming, Zhang Liang first arrived next to the first-class sailing warship and said excitedly: "Your Highness, this warship can now go to sea at any time, but this naming requires your highness to make an appointment."

In the era of sailing warships, the first-class sailing was usually used on the warship only during the decisive battle, so the first-class sailing warship would not follow the fleet, because the first-class sailing warship was very clumsy and far less flexible than the third-class sailing warship.

However, in terms of firepower, it is really hard to have an opponent in the first-class sailing warship.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said, "Since that's the case, let's order this warship to be the King of Qi."

"Qi King!" Yue Yun smiled and said, "This name is good. In the name of Your Highness, this warship will surely be invincible!"

Yue Yun's words were exactly what Xiao Ming expected, and he chuckled softly after hearing this.

There were fourteen warships left without orders. After a sudden inspiration, Xiao Ming said: "The remaining warships will be ordered by the city of the fiefdom. The six states will ignore them and add the sixteen states of Yanyun."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhang Liang wrote down.

After saying that, everyone climbed up the giant through the rope ladder hanging from the warship.

On boarding the battleship, Yue Yun and the students immediately rushed to various parts of the battleship with excitement, one by one, and wanted to raise their sails and sail far away now.

"Your Highness, the warship is just about the cannons that have not yet been in place. When will this cannon come?" Yue Yun asked.

Xiao Ming pondered for a moment and said, "At this time, I have notified the military workshop that the artillery and ammunition are now loading ships at Qingzhou Wharf, and it is almost time."

As the two were talking, they saw another group of people coming from the dock, but it was Dengzhou Governor Yang Chengye and Governor Ye Qingyun.
