Chapter 472 However, these memories have been stimulating Ying Zheng.

"promise."

He nodded and agreed, Gongshuqiu bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, since most of the warships are staying in the shipyard built here by Shanggongfang, it is a distance from Wuxian."

"Your Majesty is exhausted when you go south. What do you mean by using the food first and then setting off for the shipyard?"

"good!"

Nodding slightly, Ying Zheng smiled indifferently at Gongshuqiu: "Honey, I don't know the situation in Wuxian. You can arrange the next itinerary."

"promise."

Ying Zheng knew in his heart that for a skilled man like Gongshuqiu, he was equivalent to a science and engineering man in Li Kang's era. They were capable, but they were not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships.

Therefore, Ying Zheng did not intend to make Gongshu Qiu embarrassed. He believed that Gongshu Qiu would have made a mistake in doing this.

In Shanggongfang, Ying Zheng and others ate some Chu characteristics and hurried towards the shipyard.

The shipyard is located by the sea.

When Ying Zheng and others arrived at the shipyard, they could see warships of different appearances and sizes fixed on the shore.

Looking at the warships one by one, Ying Zheng's calm heart was turbulent for the first time, and an impulse arose in his heart. For a man and a martial man, warships are often the most exciting.

Although golden swords and iron horses are desirable, strong ships and powerful guns are the beliefs of men.

"Your Majesty, this is a guard ship, this is a patrol ship, these are warships, these are submersible ships for transporting grain, as for the Daqin treasure ship at the top..."

Gongshu Qiu introduced earlier that Ying Zheng, Fusu and Mengyi followed Gongshu Qiu's guidance and had a certain understanding of the warships docked on the shore.

Ying Zheng knew that Gongshuqiu had only introduced them according to their purpose, and the specific situation was probably more complicated.

However, for Ying Zheng, he only needs to know the approximate purpose of the warship, and the specific one is Shanggongfang.

Finally, Ying Zheng and others looked in the direction of the giant. The appearance of the Qin treasure ship was extremely shocking.

For people of this era, the Daqin treasure ship at this moment is like a later generation who saw an aircraft carrier.

The excitement and excitement in my heart cannot be described in words.

Looking at the giant Qin treasure ship, Ying Zheng sighed and said, "If you want a country to be prosperous and strong, you must not ignore the ocean. The sea of ​​wealth is obtained, and the danger also comes from the sea."

"Fusu, what did you see?"

At this moment, Fusu was shocked so much that he heard Ying Zheng’s inquiry and blurted out without thinking.

"Big, so big..."

Three black lines appeared on Ying Zheng's forehead. He did not expect Fusu to say such words. It was really a waste of time for more than ten years to read.

At this moment, Ying Zheng felt a little disappointed, and pointed at the warship on the shore with a solemn tone.

"Seeing them, I see hope!"

In this era, the people of the Central Plains had no sense of sea power at all, not to mention that the Qin Dynasty itself was located in the northwest and did not know much about the sea.

Although China is located on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, it has had maritime activities since ancient times.

However, in ancient times, the ocean had greater effect on traffic barriers than on liaison, and the sea was invincible. Therefore, the focus on coastal defense in all dynasties was far less than that of block defense.

Ying Zheng learned from his memory that the awareness of sea power was born on the basis of modern industrial civilization and was a political mentality that attempted to control the world by controlling the ocean.

This mentality instantly stimulated Ying Zheng, so he ordered the training of boatmen to establish the Qin Empire navy, and the number reached 300,000 at once.

With the opening of the new route, European countries carried out early colonial expansion. These early colonial countries carried out wild adventure activities under the guidance of their fanatical dream of seeking gold.

From the fifteenth to the sixteenth century, with the establishment of early colonial rule in Asia, Africa and Latin America, the ocean brought rich returns to the monarchs of the two countries.

With the unbalanced political and economic development, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and other countries also participated in colonial expansion, so Western European countries began to compete for colonial and maritime hegemony around maritime interests.

In the early 17th century, the Netherlands and the Land became a powerful maritime trading country in the world with its commodity economy mind, with a huge merchant fleet in the world, and known as a maritime chariot and groom.

From the second half of the 17th century to the mid-18th century, Western European countries were increasingly fighting for maritime hegemony, and Britain established colonial hegemony.

During this period, British warships shuttled around the world, and British merchant fleets ran back and forth between the suzerain countries and colonies. The busy scene laid a solid foundation for the rise of the empire that never sets.

The ocean brought huge wealth to the Great Britain and the Empire. Through the ocean, the United Kingdom obtained the raw materials needed for the industrial revolution and provided a broad market.

.........

These things cannot be told to Fusu and others.

However, these memories have been stimulating Ying Zheng.

Slave trade.

Great returns on wealth.

The sun never sets the empire.

The raw materials and broad market needed for the development of the Qin Empire.

Almost everything stimulated Ying Zheng's nerves. From the beginning of his understanding of these, Ying Zheng knew that the prosperity of the Qin Empire would begin from the sea.

At this moment, the Qin Dynasty treasure ship and various ships were built, with the Qin Dynasty Navy 300,000 training, drilling, and drawing new maps every day.

For Ying Zheng, after years of deployment, it is finally time to gain something.

At this moment, Ying Zheng spoke earnestly at Fusu and said, "Fusu, remember one thing, the key to the rise of a great country lies in controlling the sea power!"

"By the ocean or through the ocean, everything that makes a nation a great nation can be obtained."

"In the years to come, whoever controls this boundless ocean will control the world, and to a certain extent, the navy represents maritime power."

Fusu is his heir.

Ying Zheng naturally wanted to pass on this concept. Even though his generation did not have the idea of ​​achieving the empire of the sun never set, as long as this concept is passed on, future generations will definitely achieve such a feat.

This time, what Ying Zheng wanted to do was to build a powerful Qin Navy, instill the awareness of sea power in Fusu and others, and then let the Qin Navy travel around the world, gain more wealth, and stimulate the people in the world.

"Father, can this blue sea be controlled by others?" At this moment, Fusu finally came back to his god, surprised to Ying Zheng, and said.

"My Daqin treasure ship will definitely ride the wind and waves, not to mention in the future, my Daqin warship will be innovative, and even an iron-armored warship will appear in a certain year."

At this moment, Ying Zheng rarely patted Fusu on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "According to the news that I have received, there is endless land outside of the Qin Dynasty, and between the land is this vast ocean."
