When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 171 The Great Voyage of the Ming Fleet

"woo"

The whistle sounded.

Zhu Ming looked up.

A train with only four or five carriages rumbled past.

"Where was the train just now?"

Zhu Ming opened his eyes wide, a little bit unable to believe it.

I didn't expect that the train would appear in Da Sui now.

Old Yang said proudly: "Mr. Potato has good eyesight. He recognized it immediately. This is the train of our Great Sui Dynasty."

"Old Yang, you're amazing. You even made a train."

"The main thing is that the people you sent here are experts in the field. Of course, they are nothing compared to the trains you have over there. This train seems to be a boiling pot train."

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment: "It should be a steam train, I never thought you could even make this."

Yang Guang patted Zhu Ming on the shoulder and said, "It's all thanks to you for getting the materials and talents. I heard from that guy named Smith that if the Great Sui's infrastructure was not so poor and there was no industrial base, we could have directly built the trains you have."

Zhu Ming nodded and said, "It's normal. We also developed little by little. The subsequent large-scale construction will require a large amount of human resources. You have to encourage childbirth and increase the population. If you follow history and completely ignore the lives of the people, I think you should go to Old Zhu's place to retire."

Yang Guang smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, that person in history is a piece of shit, that was Emperor Yang of Sui, who has been buried in the ground. I am determined to become an emperor of all ages. The living conditions of the Sui Dynasty have improved now, and the treasury is sufficient. We can give rewards. The more children you have, the more rewards you will get. If a family is still childless after the age of 30, and the doctor finds that it is not due to physical reasons, then they will be dragged out and paraded through the streets."

Zhu Ming frowned: "Some physical reasons may not be diagnosed, so you will be criticized for nothing. If there is a reward for having children, aren't you afraid that someone will steal the child to get the subsidy?"

Yang Guang narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "If you dare to steal the child, I will let him know who his nine clans have other relatives, and then take them all away. I'm sure his nine clans will thank him very much."

Zhu Ming nodded: "Stealing a child is the most shameful thing. Just watch and do it. Don't let anyone take advantage of you. Is there anything you need?"

Old Yang chuckled and said, "We need talents."

"This is not easy to do. The Japanese are looking for me all over the world. If I hadn't worn the human skin mask you made last time, they would have found me long ago. The Japanese are guarding very tightly now, so I'm not sure I can get much."

"It's okay. We'll take one at a time. How about you take me to Li Er's place and I'll borrow some people from him. He hasn't pacified the noble families yet, so he probably doesn't have much money to invest in technology. If those researchers are taken away by the noble families, Li Er will definitely be able to pacify the noble families by then."

"That's fine. Let's go ask. Let's go to Ming Dynasty first. Old Zhu complained last time that he didn't have enough people. Let me see if we can import some goods from Japan or borrow some from other dynasties."

Hongwu Ming Dynasty
Old Zhu looked at the bright palace.

"Hey, I really didn't expect that this thing is actually made of sand. It's really good to use it as a window. The room is much brighter during the day."

"Your Majesty has a keen eye and discovered the mystery at a glance. In the future, common people will also be able to use colored glaze." Li Jinglong flattered him at the right time.

The first time I heard about Li Jinglong, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him.

He assigned tasks several times and wanted to find fault with them, but Li Jinglong always completed them well. Later, he even got the ministers of the Sui Dynasty drunk and got a large amount of food and money.

Let Mr. Zhu change his previous attitude.

The more he used it, the more convenient it became, which reminded Zhu Yuanzhang of secretaries in later generations. Now Li Jinglong had become a big shot around Zhu Yuanzhang.

"How's the thing you arranged going?"

Li Jinglong smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, the fleet is ready. The merchant ships are already loaded with cargo, the gunboats and supply ships are all arranged, and all the information is sorted out. All we need to do is find an auspicious day to set sail!"

Lao Zhu took a folder.

It contains the ship equipment, cargo records, information of each soldier, sailing plan, etc. Everything that Zhu Yuanzhang could think of is there, and even things that he couldn't think of can be found.

"1603 AD, the fifteenth year of Hongwu?"

Li Jinglong said: "Your Majesty, the current AD is calculated according to the Great Qin. According to Mr. Tu Dou, it is 1382. If we add the Great Qin's 221 BC, it is 1603."

Old Zhu nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, we almost didn't make it and promote this AD era to the world. I didn't expect that Lao Ying was 1600 years ahead of us. Let's have someone burn some incense at the location of Lao Ying's tomb, and have the other emperors burn some as well."

"Isn't it a bit too much to burn incense to me in front of me?" Yang Guang's voice came.

Old Zhu turned around and said, "Hey, isn't this Old Yang? Xiao Li, in addition to burning incense, get a pig's head, a chicken, or a duck to offer as a sacrifice on Old Yang's grave!"

Yang Guang frowned: "Do you want to put your pig head there for worship?"

Old Zhu asked curiously, "No one comes here for no reason. How come Old Yang has time to come here? It just so happens that I have some good things to show you!"

Zhu Ming raised his eyebrows: "You have something good too?"

There was a hint of doubt in Lao Zhu's eyes: "Your word 'also' makes me a little confused."

"I just went to Lao Yang's place and saw some good things." Zhu Ming said.

Old Zhu chuckled: "I see. But the good stuff over there from Old Yang is definitely not as good as what I have. I'll take you to have a look!"

Yang Guang laughed angrily: "Don't be so confident. It will be interesting if you get slapped in the face. I only have the real good stuff."

Lao Zhu said confidently: "Hehe, I guarantee that I will make your eyeballs fall out of your head!"

Yang Guang's face was full of doubt: "Then I'd like to take a closer look!"

Li Jinglong drove a few people to a military camp outside the city.

Old Yang had a smile on his face, looking like he was about to see a joke.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but look at Lao Zhu and Lao Yang, and had a hunch about what the so-called good things were.

A row of artillery carriages were placed there.

Old Zhu walked over, patted the cannon barrel and said proudly: "See? This is the good stuff we were talking about, the Kruhou cannon!"

Old Yang smiled slightly: "It's OK, but it's a bit unfortunate that Xiao Zhu has already looked over here!"

The smile on Lao Zhu's face froze instantly: "Xiao Zhu, is what Lao Yang said true or false?"

Zhu Ming could only nod his head: "Indeed, I didn't expect that the two of you have similar names, both Kruhou Cannon. I can already foresee that in the future there will be Kruhou Cannon and Kruwang Cannon. Those are just names."

Old Yang chuckled: "I just said, don't be so confident. How about that, I got slapped in the face!"

Lao Zhu didn't believe it: "Impossible, this is a breech-loading cannon, it must be different from yours."

Lao Yang: "Sorry, that's also where I am."

There are some differences in the appearance details, but overall, the similarities are quite large.

Old Zhu snorted coldly: "There is more good stuff than just this one, there are others, bring us our Yingtianzao!"

When Lao Yang heard this, he was immediately happy.

Zhu Ming looked at the two of them curiously, wondering if they were acting.

When the gun was brought, Lao Yang took a look at it, picked it up and began to shoot skillfully.

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment: "Old Yang, how could it be possible? Do you have it too?"

Putting down the rifle in his hand, Lao Yang smiled and said, "Not bad, I just fired a few shots with Xiao Zhu."

Lao Zhu looked a little unhappy: "I don't believe it. You definitely don't have this one!"

far away.

Several things that looked like carriages drove by.

Zhu Ming exclaimed in surprise: "Steam car, it's really an antique."

Lao Yang: "Actually, I have some there too. I should have pulled it out to have a look."

Old Zhu shook his head: "If it's not out, then it doesn't exist. There are no tracks here. In fact, we still have steam trains, but there are only a few carriages, and the speed is not very fast. It can't be compared with yours at all."

"If I could let you catch up now, all these years of development wouldn't be in vain! Is there anything else?"

Old Zhu chuckled and said, "Of course there is. You guys made it in time. If it's a few days later, I'm afraid you won't make it. I'll take you to have a look."

According to Lao Zhu's instructions, Zhu Ming brought a few people to the beach.

Dozens of large ships are ready to go.

There were also some smaller ships, among which two warships were particularly eye-catching.

The surface looks like it's all made of iron.

"See? The Hongwu No. 1 warship, the first ironclad ship, uses steam horsepower and can run without rowing!"

Zhu Ming was full of surprise. He didn't expect that even an ironclad ship would appear.

Old Yang's eyes flashed with envy: "I really don't have this over there!"

"With so many ships gathered here, are they planning to go out to sea?" Zhu Ming asked curiously.

Old Zhu nodded proudly: "Yes, look at what other countries are like in this era. Here, the great voyages must be led by our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Ming said excitedly: "If you have ambition, you can get more stone tablets after you go out, so as to leave some historical evidence for future generations!"

Li Jinglong said: "Don't worry, Mr. Potato. We have brought a lot of stonemasons with us this time, who are specially responsible for carving the stele!"

After staying for two days, the fleet set off.

Watching the large ships moving away from the coast, Zhu Ming felt that the cession of territory and payment of indemnities as in the Opium War would not happen again here.

Even if there is, it is other countries that have to cede territory and pay compensation!
Zhu Ming has even drafted a "rotation squatting agreement" in his mind.

Took a tour around Daming.

Lao Yang explained his purpose.

"I think so too. There are still too few professional technicians. Xiao Li won't be able to use them in the short term, and they may be snatched away by aristocratic families. As elders, we can't just stand by and watch."

Afterwards, the two came to the Zhenguan Tang Dynasty.

The Weishui Alliance changed, and most of the Turks who broke into the Tang Dynasty were captured.

Li Shimin's voice was much more important than in history.

Even Wei Zheng has become much more low-key.

After learning about the purpose of Yang Guang and Zhu Yuanzhang's visit, he frowned and said, "It's fine to borrow people, but we have to write a receipt. If someone borrows it and doesn't return it, I will have no place to complain."

Yang Guang snorted coldly: "Am I the kind of person who would embezzle the things of the younger generation?"

Lao Zhu said angrily: "Humph, don't think so badly of me!"

Li Shimin argued: "If it's money and food, then there's no problem, but these are technicians from later generations. If one is missing, it will be a loss. If you say that there is an accident or something, and you secretly keep some of them, who can I go to for justice?"

Lao Yang and Lao Zhu looked at each other. They had indeed planned to do so before coming.

It doesn't have to be a lot, just a few hundred or so per person.

"It's normal to have some wear and tear. Many of them are not young anymore."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I will lend you 300 men each, and the loss cannot exceed 10 men, but I also need your help."

Lao Yang and Lao Zhu asked in confusion: "What help?"

Li Shimin said, "It's nothing, actually. The last time we met, my father told me that you helped to clean up the noble families in the Sui Dynasty and Wude, so I would like to ask for your help as well. I recently discovered that these noble families are really too much."

Old Yang snorted coldly: "How about it, you feel the threat from the aristocratic family, right? The aristocratic family is a cancer. Cut the Gordian knot and remove this cancer as soon as possible, so that we can develop as soon as possible."

Lao Zhu nodded and said, "No problem. Let Lao Si know when the time comes. He has been leading the team and has had several experiences!"

Li Shimin was delighted: "That's great, I'll take care of all the money and food when the time comes!"

I went around various dynasties.

Zhu Ming returns to the modern era.

I have been to many countries before under the pretext of traveling and discussing business.

Wear a human skin mask.

Zhu Ming appeared in John Bull.

After changing his face, Zhu Ming started purchasing goods from John Bull.

With a variety of high-yield crops, we can be self-sufficient in food.

Zhu Ming glanced at the list provided by Lao Zhu and others.

In particular, various scientific researchers and technicians are extremely scarce.

After preparing for a few days, Zhu Ming found an opportunity.

Crouching near a railway.

John Bull organized an academic exchange meeting.

A special train was dedicated to transporting experts from all over John Bull.

Zhu Ming had his eyes on this special train.

Waited for more than half an hour.

There was a rumbling sound in the distance.

Zhu Ming had a look of joy on his face, knowing that the target vehicle was approaching.

The train needs to slow down after this section.

Feel the speed reduced to minimum.

Zhu Ming waved his arm.

A dark passage appeared in front of the train.

Less than a minute.

The train disappeared onto the tracks.

Zhu Ming also disappeared.

大 明
Old Zhu, who had received the notice long ago, had already dispatched a large army to wait.

Suddenly a train appeared.

There were no tracks and the trains were running amok.

It slowly stopped on the buffer zone.

"Old Zhu, there are probably a lot of injured people, you should treat them as soon as possible. Be careful, there may be special security guards on this kind of train, don't let them kill you!"

Old Zhu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, we have guns and cannons. If there are people who dare to blow up, just kill a few of them, and no one else will dare to do it."

"Okay, I'll help Lao Yang get some goods."

Went to Japan.

After waiting for a few days, I found a good opportunity.

Japan has lost top talent in various industries.

In order to make up for it, a group of people were recruited from all over the country for training.

When they were getting on a special plane and preparing to take off, a pitch-black passage appeared, and hundreds of elites who had just been trained disappeared in an instant.

The environment suddenly changed and the plane couldn't take off without a runway.

Yang Guang led his army to surround them.

"Damn it, I guess I'll be nervous for a while. It'll be hard to handle this kind of thing in the future!"

Yang Guang smiled and said, "Next time you open the passage, I will lead a fully armed army over there to capture more Japanese devils!"
