Win Macau in three days!

This is really not bragging.

Because this is completely bullying people with power!

After all, Macau is right at the door of the Ming Dynasty. Those Portuguese people, let alone resist, may not even dare to think of resisting.

But we can't just sit at the door of our house.

"Hao Pinghai,"

Zhu Guoqiang said,

"Whether the Portuguese are in Macau or Goa, they must not be able to twist ours. They don't have much troops or warships. We can invest hundreds of warships, at most dozens of them, and many of them are armed merchant ships. There is no problem in winning!"

After a pause, Zhu Guoqiang continued to say yes.

"But we can't just care about the interests in front of us, we have to look farther away."

"Look a little further? Does Your Majesty mean other places?"

Zheng Zhilong asked directly.

"Yes, it's other places...for example, Europa mainland!"

Zhu Guoqiang said,

"We have been in the South China Sea for several years and are wandering around the Tianzhu area. We have to go to Europa, go there to do business, and even study abroad to get to know them, and invite their scholars to come to us. Of course, the ultimate goal is to..."

Why study in Europe?

Learning things is secondly, and the most important thing is to understand them and Europe.

Only in this way can we take action more smoothly when we take action in the future.

"To defeat Europa?"

Zheng Zhilong patted his chest and said,

"Europa is a small country. If we want to fight, it will not be a problem if we fight it!"

Zhu Guoqiang looked at him with a smile.

"But now there are not many of us who can drive a boat to Europa or the New World. We need time to hone our sailing skills."

This era is the era when Europe's maritime technology surpassed the Ming Dynasty, and as time goes by, Europe will only become more and more advanced. Of course, the Ming Dynasty is also learning from Europeans. However, thanks to the navigation technology brought by Zhu Guoqiang from another world, by making sextant, navigation clock and astronomical calculations, the Ming captain can already accurately calculate longitude at sea, thus solving the positioning at sea.

However, there were less than 200 such captains in the Ming Dynasty, and almost all of them were naval officers. Only a few captains who graduated from the Naval Academy in the folk mastered this technology. Science is good, but not everyone can master it in a short time. After all, latitude and longitude calculation requires a good mathematical foundation, and such captains... are very few.

And these captains are all from the army...

"This is also..."

Zheng Zhilong thought about it,

"In fact, I have been considering this issue in the past two years. I think that the naval navigation technology is first-class and can accurately realize the positioning at sea. However, civilian ships still rely on experience, and the training of civilian ships is slower. Compared with the navy's captain, it is a long time to train the captains. It is because the captains of civilian ships need to practice tactics and artillery. However, civilian ships do not need to learn so much. We have such good maritime skills, but only use them for the navy. It is a pity! If the navigation skills of the navigation skills can be popularized on civilian ships, our Ming Dynasty ships can sail all over the world within ten years and replace merchant ships from various countries in Europe. However, the navigation skills of the navigation skills of the navigation skills are very high on the captains. It is really not possible for ordinary people!"

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"If you want to solve this problem, you must run a school. You can set up a few more naval schools in addition to the Naval Naval Naval Naval Academy to train captains and senior crew members..."

Now the Ming Dynasty folks cultivate captains rely on experience, but they must rely on science in the future. Moreover, the reason why European navigation technology gradually led the world in this era was because Europe turned navigation from experience to science.

"Your Majesty, is it really OK?"

Zheng Zhilong said excitedly, how could he be unexcited? After all, the Zheng family was the largest maritime merchant in the Ming Dynasty. The profits made by overseas trade every year were more than one million taels, and they had long been salivating about the naval navigation. But the problem was that the naval navigation was still limited to the naval. Even if civilian ships were in control, it was the naval own merchant fleet.

It has nothing to do with the old Zheng family. If the old Zheng family can learn this set of techniques, the benefits the old Zheng family gained from it will be unimaginable to the outside world.

"Then what's wrong."

Zhu Guoqiang smiled at Zheng Zhilong.

"Europeans have traveled thousands of miles to our doorstep. When can we go to our doorstep? Our good navigation skills cannot be just for the navy or not for the people."

"Then keep it confidential..."

Zheng Zhilong said nervously.

"If Hong Maoyi gets our navigation technique, would it be troublesome?"

Zhu Guoqiang waved his hand and said.

"What's the problem? Navigation is important, but what's more important is technology. Not only are our maritime technology advanced, but our shipbuilding and artillery casting techniques are far more than them for one or two hundred years. If this is the case, it would be a sin to be afraid that they would master these technologies and cherish them and even keep them secret from their own people!"

Could it be that like France in another world, keeping the hand-cranked machine guns secretly, and as a result, a bunch of them were produced and thrown into the warehouse as decorations. They were not taken out until they were fighting with the Prussians. As a result, the soldiers couldn't use them!

In order to keep it confidential, let the Ming Dynasty's technology fall behind day by day?

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Zheng Zhilong tentatively said.

"Since I want to open this naval school, I want to win a house for my hometown in Fujian. After all, there are many people in Fujian who are engaged in a sea of ​​traders. If you run such a school, the people will naturally benefit from it. Your Majesty rest assured that all the money for this church will be paid by me and the fellow villagers in Fujian. Never do not pay a tael of silver in the court, as long as the court sends some teachers to come."

Although Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate, he was extremely sensitive to new technologies. After witnessing the power of Western ships, he immediately built several Western warships. In order to be able to operate these Western warships, he even hired Western sailors from Macau at any cost to teach them the skills of driving Western sailing... According to Zheng Zhilong, he planned to fight several battles with the Dutch East India Company at that time!

Moreover, in order to obtain new technology, he was indeed willing to make a book, just like in order to obtain the artillery casting technology, he even married his daughter to the Portuguese artillery casting technology.

He is reluctant to let his children get trapped in a wolf. He sacrifices his daughter's mind just for technology. Most people are really not as good as him. Moreover, he has long been salivating about the naval arts, but even if he comes into contact with it, he dares not bring it out!

Fear of being beheaded for leaks!

Now with His Majesty’s consent, how could he cherish money? Not only did he take out a lot of money, but he also had to build the school in Fujian. Fujian is his hometown, and the crew he trained must be... for the Zheng family first!

He said deliberately, for fear that His Majesty would not agree.

"Your Majesty, this school is a good thing that will benefit you from the future. My family has earned a lot of money from the sea over the years. I am willing to spend one million taels to run four sailing schools, and from then on, I will use 100,000 taels to support four schools every year."

The premise is that there must be a school in Fujian!

"Since Zheng Qing intends to help with the school, how could I refuse!"

Zhu Guoqiang told Zheng Zhilong,

"Let's start with four naval schools... one is in Dalian, one is in Haizhou, one is in Xiamen, and one is in Guangzhou."

Someone paid for the construction of a Naval Academy, which is a good thing!

In fact, Zhu Guoqiang originally planned to build several naval schools. Since the rich man Zheng is willing to pay the money now, let him pay it!

Besides, he will definitely be unhappy if he doesn't let him go!

When Chongzhen asked the ministers to pay the money, they were all crying and poor, but when the Holy Emperor was crying and shouting to pay the money. As for the relatives like Zheng Zhilong, they looked like they would definitely not be able to pay it.

This self-consciousness should definitely be given a medal. These are all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. This enthusiasm is really good!

Worth commendation.

But then again, there are quite a lot of loyal ministers in the court now. They are all loyal to the country and are diligent in national affairs.

Alas, sometimes when looking at their loyal appearance, Zhu Guoqiang felt that he had misunderstood them.
Chapter completed!
