Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Because, even after such a day of sea trials, he already had an imagination of future sea battles in his mind.

When the enemy ships are still hundreds of meters away from our side, we only need to adjust the direction of the fleet, aim the sideboard at the opponent's ships, and then fire directly!

Under a salvo of shells, the enemy ships could not approach our ships at all, and were sunk.

There is no need for boarding battles at all, it is only necessary to maintain the distance between the ships, and then constantly change the direction and fire continuously.

The previous experience and theories are really useless. In the future, we only need to study how to maximize the advantages of artillery according to Li Ke's guidance.

When he thought about this, and when he thought about his previous doubts about Li Ke, he felt like a frog in a well!

During the voyage back, he had been thinking about this matter in his heart, and he was very ashamed.

When he got to the pier, he couldn't bear it anymore, and directly expressed his shame to Li Ke.

"This matter? This king has long forgotten."

"General Qu just needs to keep studying the new naval warfare in the future. It's not scary if the times change too fast, but it's scary if you don't study hard to keep up with the times."

Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and comforted Qu Wenkang.

He really didn't take this matter to heart, after all, the artillery hadn't been produced at that time, so it was naturally unrealistic for an experienced navy general to believe him.

Anyway, as long as Qu Wenkang is willing to study, can recognize the reality clearly, and keep up with the times, then there will be no problem.

Judging from Qu Wenkang's posture, it seems that he has recognized the reality clearly and is willing to learn and work hard to keep up with the times.

In this case, Li Ke is naturally very satisfied.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"In the future, the last general will only follow His Highness's lead, and learn new naval warfare tactics by His Highness's side!"

Qu Wenkang looked at Li Ke gratefully, and then expressed his opinion to Li Ke in an extremely firm tone.

Not only him, but a group of navy generals behind Qu Wenkang also looked at Li Ke with respect and awe, apparently with the same attitude as Qu Wenkang.

After all, they were also on board during the sea trial just now, so they naturally understand that times have changed.

Only by following Li Ke unswervingly can we ensure that we will not be eliminated in future naval battles.

Hearing this, Li Ke nodded with a smile.

Qu Wenkang was expressing his opinion to him, and he was the only one to follow from now on.

The meaning of this sentence is that in the future, he will only listen to Li Ke's words, and the entire Yangzhou navy will only listen to Li Ke's words!

Qu Wenkang's attitude is naturally a good thing for him.

This means that he now has two armies under his command.

One is the Shenji Battalion equipped with muskets and artillery, with a total of 5 people.

One is the Yangzhou navy equipped with Galen boats and artillery, with a total of 6 people.

Although it seems that there are not many people, there are 1.1 people in total.

In this era, Datang's total army was not many.

There were Fubing in the Tang Dynasty, about 60, but Fubing was a combination of soldiers and farmers, and usually worked at home.

Therefore, these 60 government soldiers are not a standing army, and cannot be regarded as a standing army.

As for the number of soldiers capable of fighting in the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke judged that there should be no more than 20 soldiers!

Because, the Tang Dynasty only sent [-] troops to deal with the Turks who were at the Weishui River.

In history, Li Shimin's personal conquest of Goguryeo was considered to be the most foreign expedition in the early Tang Dynasty, and he only sent more than [-] troops.

But these 10,000+ troops are all the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty. Under the leadership of a fierce general, they beat the shit out of the surrounding countries.

Even if the number of local troops is several times that of Datang, they are still beaten everywhere.

But even so, the number here is less than 20 combatable soldiers.

And as long as they are equipped with muskets, only 5 Shenji Battalions can fight 20 elites!

What's more, the Luyangzhou navy equipped with Galen ships and artillery is an invincible army on the water.

It can be said that Qu Wenkang's statement allowed him to completely control the Yangzhou navy, and also gave him the absolute strength to protect himself!

No matter what happens next, relying on Yangzhou and Suzhou, as well as these 1.1 elite soldiers, he can truly ensure his own safety.

"Continue to keep training, and specially train a group of skilled and accurate gunners."

"And then I'm going to go to the musket workshop to get muskets for musket training."

Li Ke explained something to Qu Wenkang.

The navy does not only fight at sea, and it does not only use cannons.

Muskets are also necessary, otherwise what if the enemy ships are approaching?Is it the same as before, picking up a big knife to fight against the ship?

If you have muskets, you can take advantage of the height of the Galen ship and use muskets to snipe the enemy from high to low.

With this natural advantage, shooting and killing the enemy is like shooting a target, it is extremely simple.

And if after defeating the enemy's surface forces, muskets are also needed when landing operations.

Qu Wenkang was not completely his before, so he only let the Yangzhou navy use Galen boats and artillery first, and did not provide the guns to the navy.

But now that Qu Wenkang and the entire navy are his people, they are naturally worthy of full trust, and it is logical to equip the navy with muskets.

Of course, the most important thing is that the output of muskets has increased.

Otherwise, even if you want equipment, you will be powerless.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Hearing Li Ke's words, Qu Wenkang and the generals of the navy were overjoyed!

They have heard about muskets for a long time, but they don't know much about them.

I only know that this is a very terrifying super weapon that has the same effect as artillery.

They have been waiting for a long time, and now Li Ke finally allows their navy to equip muskets!

Thinking of this, they are full of confidence in the future of the Yangzhou Navy!

Equipped with muskets and artillery at the same time, and with such a huge ship, which navy in the world can fight them?

Perhaps only the God Machine Battalion on land can fight them.

But everyone belongs to the army under Li Ke, and they are brother troops, so naturally they will not fight in the same room.

"Continue to build the ship, now you can let go of your hands and feet."

Li Ke then made another confession to Zheng Tiancheng.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zheng Tiancheng also nodded confidently in agreement.

The launch of the first galenic ship meant that all their previous workmanship and procedures were correct.

With mature experience and processes, the next shipbuilding will be much more at ease, and the speed will be much faster.

"You can take this drawing back and ask someone to study it and make a model."

Li Ke took out another blueprint and handed it to Zheng Tiancheng.

Zheng Tiancheng opened the drawing curiously, and then took a quick look at it.

He found that the blueprint was also a Galenic ship, but it was a little different from the Galenic ship they were building.

The front part of the boat and the sails are the same, only the stern and the interior of the cabin under the stern are different.

There is a huge extra space, as well as drive shafts, and a huge thing like a three-leaf clover four-leaf clover protruding from the hull.

He didn't know what it was, and his eyes were a little confused after reading the drawings.

"You first make a model according to the drawing, and the king will tell you why you designed it."

Li Ke didn't explain anything to him. It would be easier to understand when he made the model first.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zheng Tiancheng nodded, and then carefully put away the drawings.

Everything that should be explained was explained, and Li Ke also left the shipyard and returned to Yangzhou by boat.

The blueprint he gave Zheng Tiancheng was a steamboat equipped with a steam engine as power!

The ones protruding from the outside of the hull are naturally the propellers that drive the boat.

Early steamships actually had both steam and sail power, and Li Ke also chose to use both.

After all, the power of the current steam engine is not very large, it can be used as auxiliary power for sails, and it can also make the speed of the ship much faster.

Besides, if something goes wrong with the steam engine, it can still be powered by sails.

If it is completely driven by a steam engine, once something goes wrong, the ship will lie down and cannot move.

Therefore, first use this kind of ship to transition, improve the technology of the shipyard, and optimize and improve the stability and power of the steam engine at the same time.

In the future, shipyards will figure out steam-powered ships, and steam engines will gradually mature, and they will be able to build ships that are driven purely by steam engines without sails.

In short, technology needs to progress slowly and accumulate slowly.

After returning to Yangzhou City, Li Ke hadn't rested for two days, and someone from below came to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to report on his work.

"Your Highness, all the demolition work, ground leveling work, etc. in the area of ​​Huating County you planned have been completed, and the construction can start at any time!"

The person in charge of the building reported the situation in Huating County to Li Ke.

He was recruited by Li Ke from the Ministry of Industry, and he was mainly responsible for the construction of the city before.

After he followed Li Ke to Yangzhou, he was sent by Li Ke to build Huating County.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he became interested immediately.

He had asked him to prepare for the preliminary work before, and he thought it would take a while.

Unexpectedly, all the preparations are now finished and the construction can start at any time. This is a surprise to him.

And doesn't this mean that he can build the famous Great Shanghai in Datang more than 1000 years in advance according to his own plan?

PS: The fifth update!corpse.

Chapter 273: The Sky Is Falling, This King Will Stand It!Li Ke has the heart of disobedience?

"Let's go and have a look."

Li Ke was looking forward to this day very much, so he took the people directly and took a boat from the pier to Huating County.

When he came back by boat from Yangzhou Shipyard that day, he actually needed to enter the Yangtze River from the mouth of the Yangtze River, so he would naturally pass through Huating County.

But when he arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River that day, it was already dark, so he didn't see the appearance of Huating County across the river.

Now seeing the appearance of Huating County, I found that it was quite different from before.

There were still a lot of scattered huts here before, as well as some messy things.

But now, everything here is clean, and the ground is incomparably flat, as if it has changed completely.

"The people who moved away have been given subsidies in place, right?"

Li Ke asked the principal with concern.

What was demolished was someone else's house, no matter how simple it was, it was still a place to live and live, and sufficient compensation must be given.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I have arranged accommodation for everyone, and when this place is built in the future, I will allocate a house to them."

The principal immediately reported the resettlement plan and situation to Li Ke in detail, basically in accordance with what Li Ke said before.

First find a place for others to live in, and then after Shanghai City is repaired, a house will be prepared for each family in the residential area.

"good."

Li Ke nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, Li Ke began to stroll here.

In the future, when building a city here, it will naturally be centered on the Yangtze River estuary, with the customs on the coastal side and the wharf along the river.
