Regardless of the commotion outside, Sun Chengzong did not take any time off when he walked into the temporary governor's quarters. After ordering the guards in royal robes to clear the entire governor's quarters, he came to the study, followed by Xiong Tingbi who was being escorted.

"Okay, you go down, stay outside, and don't let anyone get closer than ten steps." Sun Chengzong looked at the environment here, and after confirming that there was no place where anyone could hide and eavesdrop, he turned around and followed behind.

Jin Yiwei said.

"Sir..." Jin Yiwei Baihu asked with some surprise, but before he could finish the question, Sun Chengzong's majestic eyes glanced over and blocked the rest of his words.

"Yes, sir, I will step down from this humble position." After swallowing hard, Baihu quickly took people out and stood guard outside. This is the emperor's master. If he doesn't serve me well, I will tell him in front of the emperor when I go back.

It's over.

"Master Xiong, let's do it." Sun Chengzong stretched out his hand to guide him, and continued like this without asking anyone to serve tea. He just sat there and smiled at Xiong Tingbi, who looked confused.

Xiong Tingbi had a puzzled look on his face. This was not like the attitude towards an imperial prisoner at all. The other party's attitude was quite good. It was completely different from the selfless and cold-faced state before. It was as if he was...acting just now.

Same.

"Acting?" Xiong Tingbi's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something. After making a few guesses, he calmed down, rubbed his painful wrist that was scratched, and then did it. It was a simple action, but it didn't matter.

Somewhat free and easy.

After sitting down, he didn't feel restrained at all. He picked up the teacup on the table and got himself a cup of tea from the pot. The tea was not hot and he drank it in one gulp. This was his official residence, and everything in it was natural.

Very familiar.

"Tell me, Lord Governor, what are your plans and who do you want to act for?" After Niu drank a cup of tea, Xiong Tingbi licked his lips and said carelessly. More than a year of military career made his movements become more unrestrained.

Sun Chengzong glanced at the other party with interest. He could react so quickly. This Xiong Tingbi was really extraordinary. He was worthy of being the one who could suppress the entire Jurchens. If Yuan Yingtai had not acted without authorization, the situation in Liaodong would have been worse.

It won't be such a bad change.

However, what impressed Sun Chengzong even more was His Majesty the Emperor, who resisted so many impeachments and insisted on keeping Xiong Tingbi in the position of managing Liaodong. Thousands of miles away, his ability to understand the situation was impressive.

"Master Xiong is really capable. You can see through this old man's style right away." Sun Chengzong said with a smile, "I was really acting just now. If I offend you in any way, please forgive me." He cupped his hands, stood up and walked.

present.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's all for the sake of state affairs. A little grievance is nothing." Xiong Tingbi didn't dare to exaggerate. He stood up and returned a salute. But his words combined with his actions made people feel ridiculous. Sure enough, a scholar is in the army.

Over time, they will become educated hooligans.

"I wonder what the governor's plan is." Xiong Tingbi asked again. He was sincerely curious about what kind of plan he had to sacrifice himself as a Liaodong manager to deceive his opponent.

"This plan was first proposed by the emperor, and then made after I added it." Sun Chengzong stroked his beard, looked at the roof, and said with a hint of reminiscence. Sun Chengzong continued to remain in this state,

Tell him in detail what he discussed with the emperor.

When he first arrived, he had no idea what was going on in Liaodong. If he wanted to implement the plan perfectly, he had to rely on Xiong Tingbi's knowledge and experience, so he had to explain the plan in detail.

"How can you lure the enemy deep enough to hunt maidens!?" Xiong Tingbi listened, and the more he listened, the more surprised he became. His mouth gradually opened, and in the end he could no longer close it.

Is this still the Ming Emperor in his impression? He was able to propose such a bold but feasible strategic plan. This genius strategy of taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the enemy's weaknesses is amazing.

Although he could not figure out such a plan, based on his experience in managing Liaodong for more than a year and his understanding of the Jurchens, he was sure that this plan would definitely succeed. The only question was whether it would be able to lure the enemy deep into the country.

Ningyuan, designated by His Majesty, is still open to discussion.

"Is it really necessary to abandon Liaoyang? I have sent people to lock up those hungry Mongolian people a long time ago. They can't make waves. Isn't it good to just hold Liaoyang like this? If Meng Lang acts like this, if everything fails...

…" Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but ask due to his cautious character and military strategy that had always focused on defense.

Seeing that he was a little worried about Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong slowly shook his head and said, "Fei Bai, this strategic plan was approved by His Majesty and has been launched. No one can stop it." Fei Bai is Xiong Tingbi's name. Calling him this way shows that Sun Chengzong recognized him.

"You don't understand that when His Majesty first came to the throne, he was very ambitious. His mentality was just like that of Emperor Xiaowu in the early Han Dynasty. He would never give up without experiencing one or two failures. Just regard this meeting of the Hunting Girl as the beginning of Mayi.

Let’s plan, even if it fails, I hope the emperor can learn from the experience and grow up quickly.”

Sun Chengzong said in a heavy tone. After sighing, he stood up and left, "Fei Bai, study carefully tonight what I am telling you. I hope you can help me tomorrow."

"The plot of Mayi!?" Looking at Sun Chengzong's leaving figure, Xiong Tingbi was a little startled, "Then who is Wang Hui? Are you? Are you really worthy of the Han Dynasty today? You are allowed to sacrifice your life like this."

Tianjin Port.

Countless four-wheeled carriages poured in here, which immediately made the place prosperous. At this time, the Tianjin Port immediately became prosperous when Zhu Youxiao issued an order. All the residents of the surrounding small towns were moved here and settled together.

, before becoming a port worker.

At this time, Zhu Youzhan led two hundred cavalrymen and strolled around the entire Tianjin Port. The planning of Tianjin Port was very large. Even after five years of continuous expansion by thousands of people, only one-tenth of it was completed.

The content currently only allows the military port to have a certain shape, and there is still a long time before the entire port is completed.

The entire port is located at the estuary of the Haihe River. This location was the new port of Tianjin in later generations. Now it is valued by Zhu Youxiao and was built in advance. A large amount of silt and fine sand was dug out, and gravel and cement were poured into it to lay a solid foundation. The main body of Tianjin Port

Construction is ongoing, and the surrounding supporting facilities have not stopped either.

Dagu, Tanggu and other highlands are also being expanded and reinforced, and forts are being built to protect the security of the entire port. The artillery installed here are all newly developed 18-pound cannons. The thick and elongated barrels are shining with a dark luster. Just looking at them

It makes people feel the charm of the God of War.

An artillery piece like this weighs 2.5 tons and has a range of five kilometers. It really kills gods when God blocks it, and Buddha when it blocks Buddha. These new artillery pieces were sent over by Xu Guangqi when Zhu Youxiao left the capital, saying they were his students.

The new product developed by Sun Yuanhua was used to be installed on the largest plywood ship with a weight of 2,000 materials.

Zhu Youxiao's naval gunboat uses a classic double-deck, with forty-two guns on each side, divided into two layers, with twenty-four guns on the lower layer and eighteen guns on the upper layer. According to his idea, on the two-story ship

On a large ship made of thousands of materials, the artillery at the bottom should be heavier than the artillery at the top, but unfortunately, the six-pound cannon cannot meet the firepower requirements at all, and it would be a waste to hit it on a large gunship.

Therefore, he originally planned to give up and plan to use all twelve-pound cannons, but now he has made a temporary sixteen-pound cannon, which is really suitable and does not need to modify the center of gravity of the ship.

Now that all the gunboats in the shipyard have been basically completed, they are just waiting to hoist the artillery and dock. Together with the previous Galen ship with a displacement of 400 tons and a clipper ship with a displacement of 800 tons, the entire naval fleet has been formed.

It has twelve of the world's most advanced gunboats.

Moreover, they are all professional naval warships, not modified armed merchant ships. This power is basically unmatched by anyone in Nanyang. The results are huge, but Zhu Youxiao also spent a lot of money on the fleet alone.

He invested no less than two million taels. This was because a lot of the wood was confiscated and was not counted as money.

Zhu Youxiao strolled around, saw the forts, and then ran to the shipyard. Looking at the gunboats in the ten dry docks, he almost couldn't help but want to laugh.

One large 1,000-ton gunboat, three 700-ton medium-sized gunboats, five 400-ton light gunboats, and one 800-ton clipper ship. The 700-ton medium-sized gunboat also uses a double deck, and

The light version has a single deck. This was shaped by Zhu Youxiao based on the information in his mind. They are all classic layouts handed down after hundreds of years of actual combat.

All the artillery on the double deck are eighteen-pound guns on the lower deck and twelve-pound guns on the upper deck. The six-pound guns are still a bit weak for naval battles. Now that there are eighteen-pound guns on the upper deck, there are better options. Zhu

Naturally, the school abandoned the six-pound cannon.

As for the flying shear ship, Zhu Youxiao only loaded three 12-pound cannons at the rear. The structure of the flying shear ship was destined to be unsuitable for use as a gunboat, and could only be used as a transport vessel or reconnaissance vessel for quickly transporting goods.

As for why it cannot be used as a gunboat, Zhu Youxiao also wants to add a new clipper ship. This is purely to accumulate experience. Zhu Youxiao believes that there is definitely a difference between the powerful firepower of the Galen ship and the high speed of the clipper ship.

There is a balance point. If this balance point is found, then a new type of gunboat will appear, and this requires a lot of experience accumulation.

Think about it, a gunboat with high speed and high power is simply an artifact of naval warfare.

After strolling around the shipyard, Zhu Youxiao went to the pier of the port. There were countless Dafu ships carrying supplies, food, armor, medicine, weapons, artillery, gunpowder, and other materials to the ships. Fu.

The ship still hung hard sails, and it was not replaced with soft sails as Zhu Youxiao thought.

Firstly, the mast is not high enough, so it is better not to replace it. Secondly, as a transport ship and a civilian ship, the cost is the most important, and the speed is not so important. After all, the long sea journey is too much for the transportation of materials.

A dozen or so days and a ten or so days short don't mean much.
