These days, Longjiang Shipyard is gradually getting on the right track.
Since Zhu Cixi's imperial commander came in person and made a promise with all the shipwrights, the originally passive and slack craftsmen have been working hard to build warships.
Longjiang Shipyard is the largest shipyard in Ming Dynasty, and the personal skills of the shipwrights are also top-notch.
Theoretically, the warships they can build include: battleships, patrol ships, sentinel ships, wave-sailing ships, fire-wheel divine ships, eagle ships, three-plank patrol ships, serial ships, mother-and-child ships, two-ended ships, and great fortune ships.
Cangchuan, single-skimming boat, sandfly, bluff boat; transport that can be manufactured Boats include: big and small yellow boats, fast boats, Jianghan boats, eight-oar boats, full-top boats, pendulum boats, Sanwulang boats, Xi'an boats, clear-flow boats, stilt boats, black-floor boats, salt boats, and black boats. , red single boat, etc.; general sea-going ships include: crab boat, ocean-covering boat, sealing boat.
But Zhu Cixiang did not need them to build such a wide variety of ships.
He issued an imperial edict and ordered the Longjiang Shipyard to make all efforts to manufacture Fu boats, Guang boats and Bird boats, as well as a small number of wave boats.
Needless to say, Fu Chuan and Guang Chuan are the most commonly used sea-going ships in Fujian, Guangdong and other regions respectively.
As for the bird boat, it is a small sea-going boat with a long straight hull and is extremely flexible in traveling on the sea.
These three ship types were designated by Zhu Cixiang as the main ships of the Ming Dynasty Navy in the future.
As for the sand ships, they were more suitable as transport ships in the inner rivers, but were not suitable for long voyages in the sea.
This is why Zhu Cixiang did not feel the slightest joy after seeing the memorial written by Wei Guogong Xu Wenjue.
Wei Guogong wrote in his memorial that there were 400 warships waiting to be inspected by His Majesty the Emperor in the Daming Navy Base located at Xinjiangkou.
Zhu Cixiang knew, however, that the so-called warships in this naval base were all "sand ships."
Sand boats have a flat bottom, shallow draft and are not easily stranded.
They are suitable for traveling in inland rivers.
But it is too reluctant to use it as a sea-going ship, especially a warship.
This kind of ship can easily capsize in strong winds and waves, and is not suitable for mounting artillery.
It is not a suitable choice for a warship.
Of course, Zhu Cihong did not criticize it immediately, but left the memorial unpublished.
There were a lot of things for him to worry about right now, and he didn't have time to go to Xinjiangkou to review this so-called navy.
Just when Zhu Cixiang was about to check an urgent newspaper from Shandong, Liu Chuanzong, the eunuch of Dongchang, the admiral, asked to see him.
Zhu Cixiang had no choice but to put down the Tang newspaper in his hand and summoned him.
"My slave, I bow to the Emperor.
Long live the Emperor.
Long live the Emperor."
Liu Chuanzong knelt on the ground and saluted, and Zhu Cixiang raised his hand and called out: "Liu Banban, please come down, why are you here to see me today?"
"Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you."
After speaking, Liu Chuanzong raised a black wooden box high above his head.
"Send it up."
Zhu Cixiang nodded slightly, and the personal attendant walked to Liu Chuanzong and took the wooden box, and then walked carefully to Zhu Cixiang.
Zhu Cixiang opened the wooden box himself, took out a thick stack of books, and read them carefully from the beginning.
It took him half an hour to finish reading this stack of documents, and his face had already become extremely cold.
"These wolf-hearted things"
It turned out that Zhu Cixiang had been ordering people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang to keep an eye on those civil servants and ministers to prevent them from transferring their property.
After all, Zhu Cixiang didn't believe that they would store all their property in their mansion in Nanjing.
Unexpectedly, the fans of Dongchang did not find these morons transferring property, but found that Qian Qianyi, who was idle at home, suddenly visited the Duke of Wei.
This immediately aroused Liu Chuanzong's vigilance, and he immediately sent additional personnel to the vicinity of Wei Guogong's mansion to inquire for information.
You wouldn't know if you didn't check, but Liu Chuanzong was shocked when he checked.
After Qian Qianyi left, a group of honorable ministers, including Duke Bao Zhang Guobi and Marquis Zhang Gongri of Longping, came to the Duke of Wei's mansion to discuss secretly with Duke Xu Wenjue of Wei.
Although Dongchang's fans could not find out what the specific content of their discussion was, there must be something evil when something goes wrong.
There must be an ulterior motive for so many honorable ministers to suddenly gather together.
It happened that at this time, a craftsman from the Longjiang Shipyard went to Yingtian Mansion to report the case, saying that his clan brother had not come back since he was taken to the Xinjiangkou Navy Base by people from the Wei Guogong Mansion a few days ago.
The boatman was so worried that he reported the case to Mr.
Qingtian to seek justice for him.

Ying Tianfu Yin dared to offend Wei Guogong, so he immediately ordered his men to beat the boatman with forty boards and fork him out.
All this was seen by a Dongchang fan who was passing by Yingtian Mansion, and he immediately reported to Dongchang Admiral Liu Chuanzong.
With his keen sense of smell, Liu Chuanzong determined that the two incidents were somehow connected, and asked the Dongchang Fanzi to bring the half-beaten boatman for questioning.
After some inquiries, Liu Chuanzong learned that it turned out that the steward of the Duke of Wei went to the Longjiang Shipyard five days ago and seconded several shipwrights from the Longjiang Shipyard on the grounds that several sand ships at the Xinjiangkou Naval Base needed repairs.
Among them were This is the clan brother who made the report against the boatman.
Normally one or two days would be enough to repair the ship, but these seconded boatmen did not return for five days in a row.
The officials of the Proposal Department of Longjiang Shipyard did not dare to offend Wei Guogong, so they suppressed the matter.
But the boatman whose brother was missing was unwilling to accept it, so he went to Yingtian Mansion to report the case, and that's what happened next.
There are many doubts about this.
Why did Wei Guogong borrow shipwrights from the Longjiang Shipyard to repair the sand ships at the Xinjiangkou Naval Base?
Is there no one in such a large naval base who can repair ships?
Even if no one really knows how to repair the Xinjiangkou Marine Base, then the seconded boatmen should be released after the repairs are completed.
There is no reason to detain people.
Wei Guogong must be deliberately covering up something.
Liu Chuanzong's interest was completely aroused.
He sent all the stalls and staff in the East Factory to investigate the matter, and finally found clues from Longping Hou Zhang Gongri.
It turns out that Zhang Gongri, the Marquis of Longping, had a doting concubine who was usually hidden in a separate courtyard in Wuyi Lane.
There are only two entrances to this courtyard, which is where Zhang Gongri's golden house hides his beauty.
Except for a few old ladies and a few maids, there was no one else in the courtyard.
It was much easier to sneak into the Marquis Mansion, which was heavily guarded.
That night, Zhang Gongri came to the other courtyard to have fun with his concubine as usual.
Because he was so drunk, he actually told his concubine about their and Wei Guogong's plans under the bed.
All this was overheard by Dongchang Fanzi who sneaked into the Longping Hou Courtyard, and reported it to Liu Chuanzong immediately.
This bunch of civil servants actually want to kill the king
After learning the news, Liu Chuanzong was also shocked.
He collected a lot of evidence along this clue, and then hurried to the palace to report to the emperor.
Until he entered the palace, Dongchang's officials only closely monitored the officials involved and did not arrest them.
In his opinion, before His Majesty the Emperor knows about the matter and makes a decision, he must not alert the enemy. s: Thanks to book friend Lushan Donglin Temple Night Flower for the 300-coin reward, and thanks to book friend A Cheng 119 for the 100-coin reward:
