The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

He said contemptuously: "Including, the most advanced warships built in the West today are not worthy of being opponents in front of it. She can single out more than 5 Spanish galleons and win without any effort!"

The master shipbuilder bowed for the last time and said, "Wherever she passed, all that was left was full of fragments and enemies howling for survival!"

"Crack!" Yan Song smiled and applauded.

Yu Dayou burst into tears and applauded desperately.

The beauties cheered and applauded.

Even those boatmen and boatmen were applauding.

Onlookers in Tianjin, officials and ordinary people, were also cheering.

They were all excited.

How reassuring and exciting is it for such a powerful warship at sea to be listed in the Ming Navy?

Yan Song said lightly: "Okay. Have you built 5 ships now?"

"Yes" Peter Payne said, "It's faster than expected, there is one more ship."

"This ship is great! It's just too few!" Yu Dayou was a little dissatisfied, smacking his lips and said: "To deal with Japanese pirates, there are tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, and there are tens of thousands of ships on board. There are only five ships, what are they enough for?"

·······

"How much do you think is appropriate?" Yan Song glanced at him.

"Hey, a hundred ships first?"

"Fart!" Yan Song cursed domineeringly: "How much money do you know such a ship is worth?"

"..."

"Penn, tell this bumpkin!"

"A ship costs at least 200 million silver, plus 100 cannons, sailors, and weapons, the total price is more than 400 million!"

"Plop!" Yu Dayou fell into the water in fright.

"5 ships, that's 2000 million!" Yan Song was so painful that he was about to cry.If we hadn't controlled Ming's most profitable foreign trade and finance, your sister and I would not be able to raise so much money by robbing the treasury.

Yu Dayou wiped the water and laughed dryly: "Mr. Yan Ge, I was wrong..."

...........

"However, the minimum construction of this kind of ship can't be less than 100!" Yan Song was full of enthusiasm, and said lightly: "Da Ming is trying to sell iron, but also to build such a powerful fleet. I want to use money and technology, and Iron and steel, smash those Westerners to death, and any dog ​​who robs us of the ocean!"

"Good!" The people of Tianjin, the garrison, scientists, and artists cheered thunderously.

Yan Ge's declaration is too domineering!

Yan Song said lightly: "Well, this first ship, let me be the ship of this pavilion. I will enjoy it first..."

Yu Dayou changed his face and said: "Ge Lao, there are only five ships in total, and you don't go to the battlefield. You should stop sitting on such a precious thing. Give them all to Yu Jiajun?"

Yan Song stared bull-eyed: "Fuck me? I drove this mountain, I built this boat, you stupid white-eyed wolf? You want to snatch one from me? Let me enjoy it! No discussion!"

Yu Dayou had no choice but to leave this precious ship with tears in his eyes.

Then he went to the civilian shipyard and accepted the first batch of 12 Spanish galleons.

Compared with the tall sailing battleship, the Spanish galleon looks much shabby, with a displacement of more than 600 tons, can carry up to 30 artillery pieces, and has no more than 300 members.

In fact, compared to the current broken ship of Ming Dynasty, the Spanish galleon is already a shotgun.

It's a pity that Yu Dayou, who was once in troubled waters and had 4 sailing battleships in his hands, no longer looked down on the Spanish galleons that he had been coveting before. .

Chapter 1357 Japanese pirates are sweeping, and the southeast is in danger! 【1】

So, one day later, the assembly of the new artillery for all ships was completed, and a fleet left Tianjin Port.

This fleet is very majestic.

5 sailing battleships and 12 Spanish galleons formed a long line, and the brand-new artillery shone brightly in the sun, reflecting the fiery light.

"Amazing! Awesome! It's amazing!" Along the way, Shakespeare, who claimed to be writing a personal biography of Yan Song, but was actually driving with the army, yelled louder than the people of Daming.

"What is the level of this fleet in Europe?" Yan Song asked him.

Shakespeare thought for a while: "Actually, the navies of European countries are not as strong as they boast at this time. The navies do not belong to the monarchs of various countries. For example, Queen Elizabeth's navy, only 6% of the British warships belong to her, 4"[-] "Cheng belongs to Drake and other pirate kings, as well as various shareholders."

"Shareholder?" Yan Song was confused.

Let me go, the army of the European monarchy still has shareholders?

"Well," Shakespeare said helplessly: "Therefore, Her Majesty the Queen cannot control her own army as she pleases. She must discuss with the Pirate King and shareholders for every major military operation. Even Spain, which is known as the number one navy in Europe, at this time its The three major fleets of the Atlantic Ocean, the Americas, and the Mediterranean Sea add up to more than 400 warships belonging to Philip. Most of them are small warships, and sailing battleships, which are 200 years ahead of super warships, will scare them to death in the past."

Yan Song was thinking about it.

With the sailing battleship, Da Ming has the ability to sail long distances.

So, the first stop, where should Ming Dynasty colonize?

The first choice is Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia.Yan Song had already thought about this.Nanyang has a vast area, rich resources, and fertile land. It's just that the local aborigines are too scumbag. If they fall into the hands of hardworking and intelligent Chinese people, they will definitely explode ten times more productive than they are now.

There are many Chinese in Southeast Asia and Nanyang. The Chinese culture has penetrated and has a good foundation. Colonization is relatively simple, low in difficulty, small in investment, and fast in return. It is the first choice.

Secondly, Yan Song has three choices.

Either enter the Indian Ocean and fight the Mughal Empire, or go south to Australia and conquer Australia, or bypass the Bering Sea and enter the United States and South America to confront Spain head-on.
