Chapter 97: Thousands of troops are easy to get and one general is hard to find

It was almost noon when the Ganqing Palace was smoke rising. It was winter. The modified earth dragons had already burned. Compared with the cold north wind outside, the indoor room was much warmer.

Yu Zigao, who was standing next to him, did not feel the warmth. His Majesty was waiting for his reply, and Yu Zigao was already sweating.

"Your Majesty, I can't win."

After thinking about Tao, Yu Zigao decided to tell the truth, but after a word, Yu Zigao also knew that his career was over.

As soon as Yu Zigao said this, Zhu Youjian also breathed a sigh of relief, and this person should be useful.

In fact, Yu Zigao also wanted to tell Zhu Youjian that he could win, and then he would look for objective conditions that were not enough to use for warship soldiers, and exaggerate his abilities by the way, and perhaps he could win a mission to make meritorious contributions.

But in the end, he had no choice but to deceive himself for four years. He could not defeat him, even if he could not defeat him, whether it was warship artillery or tactical thinking, he was far from Zheng Zhilong's pirate. Even if his father was alive, he would probably be defeated.

Times seem to have changed, and the ship jumping gang's trick is no longer effective.

Yu Zigao sighed in his heart, thinking that his career had already ended anyway, so he just thought it was thanking His Majesty for not killing him, and then added.

"Your Majesty, the criminals have been thinking a lot about the Battle of Tongshan Sea in recent years. No matter what strategy is used, they are defeated. Moreover, the criminals have been on the coast for a long time and have had many contacts with Westerners. I see that the navy of the Ming Dynasty today is far from that. Even if it is a bandit in the Zheng family, the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that."

After Yu Zigao finished speaking, he knelt down in panic.

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with Yu Zigao's answer that he would definitely lose just now. Someone who knows himself said that there is still help. Moreover, Yu Zigao did not shirk his faults, and his character was quite good.

Of course, if Yu Zigao had not been too straightforward, the responsibilities that Fujian Governor Zhu Yifeng would have to bear would not have been fully under him.

In addition, Yu Zigao's additional answer made Zhu Youjian a little overjoyed. It seemed that Yu Zigao had not squatted in vain in prison for more than a year.

"Oh? Yu Qing said, where should I start when I want to revitalize the navy in the Ming Dynasty?"

Seeing that Zhu Youjian's tone had more anticipation, Yu Zigao was a little surprised. I thought the emperor knew nothing about the naval battle.

Then, Yu Zigao did not dare to hide it, so he said the navy army ideas of building large ships and casting artillery that he had summarized in recent years.

Although he was unsure, Yu Zigao saw that Zhu Youjian's face became clearer and clearer, and knew that he should have talked about the emperor's heart. Later, he completely let himself go and said frankly that he wanted to ask the Dutch to help train the navy.

Zhu Youjian was stunned for hearing this.

Yu Zigao should have a certain strategy for naval battles, but his official position is much worse. Not to mention whether He Lan will come to help the Ming Dynasty train the navy, even Zheng Zhilong's level is not easy to explain.

Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch are mortal enemies. Now the trade between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, which Zheng's monopolized by the Zheng family, was still stolen from the Dutch.

Yu Zigao could ignore Zheng Zhilong, but the court that had just recruited Zheng Zhilong must take care of Zheng's face.

Tianjin Kaihai is already slapping Zheng in the face, and it will be a little bit more worthwhile to stimulate Zheng's nerves.

Although he does not agree with Yu Zigao's strategy, it is enough to recognize the future development direction of the navy.

With Yu Zigao's previous preparation, Zhu Youjian talked deeply about his naval development philosophy.

The idea of ​​building a giant cannon ship coincided with Yu Zigao. After a while, Yu Zigao had already gained some respect for the young emperor.

There are many people who know the war, but few people who know the navy. The emperor who is seventeen years old has such knowledge of the water war, Yu Zigao also secretly praised him and became more awe of the young emperor.

The emperor was born to know it, and it seemed that what he had said was not false.

"Yu Qing, I want to rebuild the navy. I wonder if you can take this important task?"

Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Zhu Youjian came to the point.

But this sentence scared Yu Zigao so much that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Yu Zigao didn't know what Zhu Youjian meant. He was a defeated general. He was a prisoner who was waiting for punishment in Dali Temple the moment before, but the next moment he was entrusted with important tasks by the emperor.

It’s true that all thunder, rain and dew are favors. This instant change in identity made Yu Zigao unable to change.

'Yu Zigao is indeed not good at being an official. When Yang Hao was activated in prison, Yang Hao was not panicked. Yu Zigao's on-the-spot reaction ability was really average, and he was not a good general.'

Seeing that Yu Zigao was still a little confused, Zhu Youjian was a little unhappy for a moment, but now it is clear that there is no more suitable naval general than Yu Zigao. The general is the most suitable one among the short men.

Zhu Youjian was unhappy and briefly introduced his plan to establish a navy in Tianjin to Yu Zigao. Only then did Yu Zigao understand.

Seeing that a big pie was about to hit him, Yu Zigao's expression of gratitude was not fake at all, and he said that he would devote himself to his entire life until his death.

Although he was not particularly satisfied with the candidates for the navy, the situation where no one was available at the navy was available could only allow Yu Zigao to block first, and after the navy was formed and fight a few battles, then slowly slowly eliminate the generals who stood out.

The first phase of martial arts recruited more than 100 students. After more than a year of study and training, they already looked like grassroots officers. Half of them were selected from them and sent to the navy as the backbone. I believe Yu Zigao will be under less pressure.

Three days later, accompanied by more than 50 martial arts students, Tianjin Navy Admiral Yu Zigao took office.

At the same time, shipbuilders who had previously recruited from Haojingao and the southeast coast had arrived in Tianjin, waiting for Yu Zigao and the Navy to prepare for construction funds.

In order to build a modern navy, Zhu Youjian approved three million taels of silver in one breath.

Looking at the empty treasury treasury, Zhu Youjian felt a little relieved by relying on the good news from the West Mountain.

The Jenny textile machine was successfully developed.

In fact, the traditional textile machine to the Jenny textile machine is just a change in the way the spinning hammer is placed, but if Zhu Youjian, a latecomer, had it been unknown how long it would take to pierce this layer of window paper.

But at this time, under the guidance of Zhu Youjian, the world's first vertical hammer textile machine soon appeared in Xishan Textile Factory.

Zhu Youjian named it Li Ji.

The horizontal spindle was changed to a vertical spindle. The original loom that could only place one spindle could be placed, and eight spindles could be placed at once, which immediately increased the efficiency by eight times.

And it is still only the experimental stage, and it is not impossible to place more spindles after improvement in the future.

In addition, under Zhu Youjian's reminder, the craftsmen made a slight transformation and could not only spin cotton yarn but also wool, which was another surprise for Zhu Youjian.

Spinning the northern wool into wool to make wool, then exporting it to completely envelop the interests of the Mongolian tribes on the Ming Dynasty, which is undoubtedly an excellent means to win over the Mongolian tribes.

No relationship is as strong as forming a community of interests, turning Mongolian tribes into raw materials for the Ming textile industry, which is the goal that Zhu Youjian has always pursued.

Relying on herding sheep can solve the problem of food and clothing, and I believe that the people on the grassland will not miss the days of licking blood from the knife.

Seeing that the textile factory is about to start construction and glass research and development have also made certain progress, Zhu Youjian has been in a very good mood recently.

Just as he was about to recruit the princes to come to Beijing to hold the second shareholders' meeting, an urgent report delivered to the Ganqing Palace at night disturbed Zhu Youjian's good mood these days, and the matter of recruiting the princes to come to Beijing could only be postponed.

She Chongming and An Bangyan in Guizhou rebelled again.
