From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 797

Zhou Yuan ignored Huang Zuoyu who was already going crazy with excitement, and got on the carriage with the Virgin Sister and headed for Fuzhou Baochuan Factory.

After two days of continuous thinking, the plan in his mind has tended to be perfect. He was not sure what effect he could achieve, and he could only implement it well.

The carriage was bumpy, and Zhou Yuan's mood also rose and fell with the body of the car. It seemed that all the blood in his heart was accumulated in his chest, and he was so nervous that he almost exploded.

This was a situation he had never experienced in the previous battles.

As if seeing his nervousness, Li Yu'an held his hand, and the soft Tao rhyme was poured into his body, making him feel much more comfortable.

"What's wrong?"

Li Yu'an couldn't help laughing and said, "I never saw you so nervous when we were recovering the Central Plains. Now you have been through hundreds of battles, but you are so nervous again."

Zhou Yuan said, "Naval warfare is different from land warfare. I don't know much about the former. I am still a rookie."

"And this battle is of great importance. We can't afford to fail. There will be no more salt merchants for us to confiscate. Six battleships and four cruisers are our foundation."

"If we win, exports will open, and we can get money back, then we can continue to develop."

"If we lose, I don't know how the Jin Dynasty can regain control of the sea and rise again."

Li Yu'an said softly, "If we lose, it will be difficult to save Goryeo, right?"

"No."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "Goryeo, whatever The reason is that the Eastern Tartars are no longer enemies of the Great Jin Dynasty. At least the current information tells me that Huang Taiji has seen the giant in the north. According to his foresight, he knows how the Jurchens should go. "

"Let's not talk about the land. What I am worried about is that if we lose the naval battle, it will make McPherson and the Dutch more ambitious, and even attract many Western powers to covet us and come to us to collect gold."

"Sister Virgin, this battle is about national prestige, the dignity of the court, and the fate of the people for decades to hundreds of years in the future."

Li Yu'an saw the accumulation of his emotions at the moment, so he whispered: "Then tell me about your plan, and I will help you think carefully to see if there is anything missing."

Confession is always one of the best ways to vent emotions.

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Okay, I'll tell you now."

He took out the map in his arms, pointed at the map, and began to talk slowly.

He spoke in great detail, not only talking about the action, but also revealing the process and reasons for the conception, which made Li Yu'an constantly surprised.

The carriage continued to move forward.

Half a day later, they arrived at the Fuzhou Baochuan Factory. Li Yu'an had already listened to all the plans and gave her own opinions.

"No shortcomings!"

She was also a little excited and couldn't help laughing: "It may be too arbitrary to say this, but I really can't find any shortcomings. It's like, as long as we implement it according to the plan, we will win anyway."

"McPherson has too few cards, and he really can't deal with your endless routines."

It must be said that the Virgin Sister knows how to comfort people. At least Zhou Yuan's confidence has increased a lot. Through talking, he has once again completed his review of the plan and found two small details.

At this moment, the sky is slightly bright.

The guards were also shocked by Zhou Yuan's late arrival, and they couldn't help but sigh at the busyness of King Zhongwu.

At this moment, many sailors woke up, but Zhou Yuan didn't feel sleepy at all and went directly to the artificial river.

Due to the rock walls on both sides, the light here is darker, and there are still lights everywhere.

But Zhou Yuan saw Bai Yu and others standing on the deck, discussing something.

He and Li Yu'an looked at each other, strode onto the boat and walked over.

Seeing Zhou Yuan, the six people saluted.

Zhou Yuan said: "You got up so early?"

Bai Yu smiled and said: "I haven't slept yet. We have studied all night. Your Majesty, Brother Yi is really late. His understanding of warships has far exceeded ours. In just two days, he has made rapid progress."

Zhou Yuan looked at Yi Sanshi in surprise. Among the seven people who followed him south, he was the oldest. He was already 21 years old this year, the same age as Zhou Yuan.

This man looked more delicate and spoke less. At this moment, he seemed a little embarrassed to be stared at.

"Your Majesty, I only learned the basic technology of warships, such as sail control, skills of sailing against the wind, basic operation of warships, internal structure, etc."

"It is full of ingenious designs, amazing and fascinating."

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Brother Yi is very talented in the design of warships. The general said that if he had not studied, but had entered theIf you become a navy, you will definitely become the best ship craftsman in Dajin."

Zhou Yuan sighed in his heart, and couldn't help looking at Yi Sanshi, and smiled: "Are you interested in ship design?"

"Of course!"

Yi Sanshi's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but excitedly said: "I am very interested. Understanding the design and construction process of ships is like marrying a wife and having children."

What kind of inexplicable metaphor is this?

As soon as everyone's doubts arose, Yi Sanshi explained: "Design is to find a wife, and construction is to give birth to a child. For design craftsmen, designing a perfect warship is like finding a perfect wife, and successfully building it is to give birth to a child."

"So I understand Mr. Burton. He said that these warships are his children, and I understand it very much."

"Prince... I don't want to go back to Shenjing. I want to bring my family and children from Liuzhou. I want to engage in the design and construction of warships for a long time. This... This is not impulse. I love this. "

A country that has fallen behind the world, a declining dynasty, wants to revive, revitalize, and stand at the forefront of the world again. It has never relied on the efforts of one person, but the efforts of one generation and several generations.

Zhou Yuan was very happy that the best group of young people in Dajin were so talented, so responsible, and so responsible.

He patted Yi Sanshi on the shoulder and said solemnly: "As long as you want to learn, Dajin will do its best to train you."

Everyone laughed and talked about what they had gained in the past two days. They were indeed geniuses, and everyone had their own unique insights in all aspects.

Zhou Yuan had a great time chatting with them. When it was completely bright and the sun had risen, he slowly left.

He wanted to summon the ten captains and the four generals to deploy the next plan in detail.

This was the hall inside the battleship. Zhou Yuan and Li Yu'an sat at the top of the long table, looking at the seven people on each side, and their expressions gradually became serious.

"I rushed back from Fuzhou Prefecture overnight to announce the battle plan. "

This sentence is heavy and exciting.

Going to war is like this for the soldiers. They want to avenge their shame and regain their dignity, but fighting also means severe challenges and sacrifices.

The entire conference room was terribly quiet, and everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.
