Wubeicheng Shipyard.

Taichang looked at the huge ASCHUAN ship in front of him, and a complex look appeared in his eyes.

This thing is indeed good, but it takes time to achieve mass production!

Now, the first trial-made ship is just a huge framework.

He wanted to lead a fleet composed entirely of ASCH ships across the world. Unfortunately, this dream will take at least several years to realize!

He is no longer anxious now, and he must send troops to Japan this year!

Because he was not sure whether the Dutch would stop after the last defeat in the war.

If you stop here, it is naturally the best.

If the Dutch are unwilling to accept this and insist on finding the place back, it will be troublesome.

If the Dutch wanted to find the place, they would definitely transfer a large number of warships and armed merchant ships from the continent.

With the current shipbuilding ability of the Ming Dynasty, it will take at least a few years to overwhelm the current maritime overlord.

In other words, if the Dutch decides to follow the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will have to deal with it with it in the next few years.

If the Japanese Japanese pirates take the opportunity to send troops in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty would be attacked on both sides and be in a mess.

Therefore, he had to eliminate the hidden danger of Japan before the Dutch was ready. At that time, the Ming Dynasty would be able to do its best to deal with the current maritime overlord.

If he waited for another year or two, the Dutch might have gathered troops to prepare to go to war with the Ming Dynasty.

This kind of thing is completely possible, he has to be careful!

He thought about it carefully, then asked, "Liangfu, how long will it take for you to complete this ASCH ship?"

this.

Wang Zheng thought for a while before he said carefully: "Your Majesty, if you want to go on the ASCHEU, you may have to wait half a year."

He didn't dare to brag anymore. If an accident occurred, it would be troublesome if the emperor's plan to go to Japan was broken.

It's not much in half a year.

After all, the Netherlands is tens of thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, and it will take one or two years to mobilize a large number of warships to the Far East to start a war with the Ming Dynasty. This year or two years is a good opportunity to deal with Japan.

When Taichang heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "Well, half a year is OK. It will take almost half a year to make complete preparations. However, we cannot just build the ASCHS ships, and other ships must also build as much as possible. We must increase the production of other ships. After all, Japan is an island country, and we need a large number of ships to transport troops."

Uh, this one.

Wang Zheng didn’t want to increase the production of other ships, the shipyard has nowhere to go!

He pointed to the dense dock waterways helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, you see, it's already crowded and there's no place. I'm also worried about this. If the ASCHS is to mass-produce, this dock waterway alone will definitely not work."

There is no place here, and there is still a large area on the north bank.

Taichang said without hesitation: "Build another shipyard on the north bank, and open ten waterways over there to build wolf-tooth warships. This kind of warship is the fastest to build, has good troop transport capabilities, and can also be used in inland waterways. It is useful for any number of construction. You can use the remaining places to build ASCH ships."

Build another shipyard?

This is good, it's good.

Problem, it takes time to build a shipyard, and it also takes a lot of manpower to build a dock and dig waterway.

Wang Zheng thought about it and then asked carefully: "Your Majesty, is it still time? After all, it is not a matter of one or two days to build a shipyard. It takes a lot of manpower to build a dock and dig waterway. With the existing manpower, it would be great that we could build a new shipyard in half a year. At that time, not only will we not be able to build a new shipyard, but the progress of shipbuilding here will also be affected."

A lot of people!

Taichang asked back without answering, "Is there any problem in building ten docks for wolf-toothed warships in one month?"

This is not a big problem. Compared with the troubles of building ship docks, building factories and digging waterways, etc., it is much simpler, and it does not require a lot of manpower.

Wang Zheng just estimated it for a moment and nodded repeatedly, "This must be fine."

Taichang nodded slightly, then said decisively: "Okay, you can send someone to choose a site later and build a dock directly opposite you. You don't have to worry about other things. I'll send someone to do it."

Don't worry about other things?

It takes a month to build a city, and there are also factories, digging waterways, building craftsmen's residences, etc. How many people will need to be!

Where did the emperor get so many people?

Wang Zhengzheng was puzzled. A commander from the Shenji Camp suddenly rushed over and said panting: "Emperor, Qin Minping, Ma Xianglin and other southwest generals have arrived."

good!

Taichang patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder and reminded: "Liangfu, you have worked hard and quickly organize people to build the dock, and prepare some machine tools and materials. Next month, the new shipyard opposite will also start building wolf-fanged warships."

After saying that, he waved his hand and walked towards the shipyard dock with his personal guards.

This time he had just transferred Qin Minping and Ma Xianglin and other southwest generals, but also transferred Hu Dawei and Sun Zushou and other fierce generals stationed in Fengyang Prefecture to the capital.

The Changying, Shenji Camp's garrison, Shenwu Camp and Shenji Camp's generals gathered, and all the mighty generals gathered. There was laughter and joy in the conference hall.

These generals had fought with Jiannu in Liaodong, and lived and died together, and their relationship was not ordinary.

They were chatting enthusiastically, and suddenly a loud singing came from outside the gate: "The Emperor is here."

When Qi Jin and Cao Wenzhao heard the sound, they hurriedly greeted the generals to line up neatly on both sides of the lobby and waited respectfully.

Soon, Taichang walked in with big strides.

The generals quickly bowed their hands and said in unison: "Welcome to the Emperor."

Taichang nodded slightly, hurriedly walked behind the case and sat down, then said kindly with a smile: "Everyone, I have been waiting for a long time. I happened to go to Wubei City. It took a lot of time to rush back."

These generals have indeed waited for a long time. After all, Wubei City is more than 300 miles away from the capital. It will take three or four hours to get back at a speed faster. In addition, they have been waiting for a long time when the fast horses go to send a message.

However, the emperor also explained something specifically, which was really unexpected.

All the generals showed a look of emotion on their faces.

Taichang then said solemnly: "This time we recruit everyone to discuss the expansion of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp."

ah?

Although the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp have only 50,000 troops, their equipment is quite terrifying.

I won’t talk about the Shenwu Camp, the iron-armored cavalry is so powerful that it is the world.

The Shenji Camp is even more amazing. It has muskets and cannons, chariots and weapons of all kinds. Land battles are invincible.

The emperor actually wanted to expand the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp, but the generals really didn't expect it.

Taichang then continued: "This time of expansion is urgent, and we need to be simple and quick. I think we can do this first. Each of you picks two deputy generals and brings 20,000 troops to practice first. As for the grade and organization issues, we will slowly adjust and improve them in the future."

Each person leads 20,000 people to practice?

There are twenty military generals in this lobby!

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but bow and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean is the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp to expand to 400,000 troops?"

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp have both expanded to 200,000, which is a total of 400,000 people."

This is too crazy!

Qi Jin couldn't help but bow and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to lead the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp to Japan?"

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, no one else can move, and the capital must also leave a large army to guard it. I can only take Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp to fight."

Indeed, people from other places may have problems if they move. It seems that those who can go to war will be Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp.

Question, 400,000 people!

The Shenji Camp and the Shenwu Camp were equal to expanding by 300,000 at once.

How many weapons and equipment does 300,000 troops need?

You can't go empty-handed when you go out to fight Japanese pirates in Japan?

Qi Jin couldn't help but remind: "Master, what should I do if the expanded 300,000 troops and weapons and equipment are used?"

Taichang naturally considered this.

He said without hesitation: "First equip the newly-built people with long spears and swords and shields. As for muskets and cannons, you can match as many as you have. For the chariots and war horses, you can just leave it alone. These cross-sea transports are quite troublesome. Anyway, the most Japanese people are equipped with Japanese swords, which are short blades. As long as the long spear is good, it is still easy to hit them."

This makes sense. Didn’t the Qi family army use their weapons to suppress the Japanese pirates?

Question: 300,000 people, if they are equipped with spears and swords and shields, they will be 900,000 pieces!

It’s easy to say that a long spear is just given a gun head and make a gun stick by yourself. The knife and shield are not that easy to make.
