Qin Feng held his hands and looked at the blue sea in the distance and the Baoqing Port Pier under his feet not far away, which was empty.

In a few years, this port will be filled with huge warships, and the now vacant sailor camps near the port will be filled with the high-spirited Ming sailors. By then, the powerful Ming navy will start a long-range battle again, and the prosperous scene of the coming of all countries will no longer be a dream.

"Yu Cong, you are only in your early fifties. Take good care of your body and keep yourself strong. I hope you can see the warships you built again become more powerful overseas and invincible in your life." Qin Feng said.

"I will definitely do it." Yu Cong was also very excited. "Under the leadership of His Majesty, the Ming Dynasty will surely reappear the glory of the Tang Dynasty." For every ship craftsman, during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the grand scenes of naval troops scattered the world and forced those overseas barbarians to come to court were all their dreams. Because every warship was made by them.

"That's certain. First determine the continent and then plan on the sea." Qin Feng looked at the endless sea in the distance and said proudly: "The Ming Dynasty will be stronger than the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, look, is that our warship?" Eunuch Le suddenly pointed at the sea. At the distance of sea level, two black dots appeared in their field of vision.

"It should be!" Yu Cong didn't have the good looks of the two people around him, but he said with certainty: "Zhou Li has been going to sea for three days. During this period, every time he goes to sea for training, he has never been more than three days. Calculate the time, he should have come back."

The black dots in the distance gradually revealed their true appearance, and the two warships became clear in everyone's eyes, and above the high mast, the sun and moon flag of the bright sun and moon fluttered in the wind.

The two warships did not advance smoothly, but seemed to be performing a chase game, changing the channel from time to time, sometimes moving forward, sometimes turning in large arcs to seize advantageous positions. On the two ships, one main, two pairs and three sails constantly changing directions, so that the ship can only borrow strength better.

Every time you go around at a large angle, the two ships will change the position of front and back. The two huge warships are as clever as small fishing boats.

"Your Majesty, this is how they can seize the upper hand during the drilling battle." Yu Cong explained to Qin Feng, who was a little stunned, "It is very important to seize the upper hand in the naval battle."

Qin Feng nodded and pointed to the warship on the sea: "This Zhou Li, I can only train the navy to this level in a few days in the Ming Dynasty?"

Yu Cong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Li did not come alone. He also had a group of old subordinates who followed him. These two warships, one of which was commanded by him, and the other was commanded by his son. Dozens of his old subordinates were arranged on both ships, all of which were dragons on the water. With them, the local sailors made great progress."

"There is no place for such talents among the Great Chu Navy?" Qin Feng said in surprise: "Can there be many naval generals in the Great Chu who are stronger than Zhou Li?"

"That's definitely not the case!" Yu Cong said: "There are no people like Zhou Li, but they are definitely rare."

"Min Ruoying is not a foolish monarch. She doesn't need to let such a good general?" Qin Feng said in surprise.

Yu Cong smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you still attach so much importance to the Navy. Qi and Chu have long lost their enthusiasm for the Navy. The ship is getting bigger and bigger and smaller. The Navy has long been a severely affected area of ​​corruption. People like Zhou Li, who are lonely, have no foothold among the Navy of Chu, and have not been killed by anyone, so he is destined to be fatal."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "It's good that this is the case. If Chu State attaches importance to the navy, how could such a talent come to me? Haha, Yu Cong, you recommend Zhou Li and get him here. I remember your great achievements. By the way, how did you tell him? In my opinion, people like him are afraid they won't be easily told?"

"Actually, there is nothing. I just made another ship model that I gave to Your Majesty you last time, and then sent someone to him. How could this old man not be moved when he saw this?" Yu Cong smiled and said, "Of course, he also encountered a hurdle that he could not overcome in Chu State. If he didn't leave, he would be dead. Not only would he be over, but he would also have to implicate his family. At that time, besides coming to us, what way would he have to do? "

"That's really God bless me. Such a talent is not used to waste it. It's the misfortune of Chu, but it's our great blessing!" Qin Feng looked at the sea with a smile. The two warships had approached the port at this time. The ship speed slowed down and slowly sailed into the port. Standing at Qin Feng's position, you can clearly see the situation on the warship. There were not many sailors on the deck, but they were all waving their arms to the port. There were also many people gathering at the port dock at this time, and they were busy on the dock, obviously preparing to welcome the two warships to the dock.

"There aren't many people?"

"Your Majesty, Zhou Li is practicing sailors who control ships now. They are the souls on the warships. Now there is no need for soldiers to board the ship. As long as these people are trained, the soldiers fighting on the ship will be better as long as they are water-enhancing. It will be much easier to practice." Yu Cong said: "Besides, the Ming Navy is not named or organized in the Ministry of War. Zhou Li dares not increase his staff by randomly!"

"Well, it seems that Zhou Li is still very disciplined!" Qin Feng smiled and said, "Let's go down and see this navy general."

"Your Majesty, I'll make arrangements!" Eunuch Le said quickly.

Qin Feng waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, let's go on like this, Mr. Le, tell Mahou not to make any guard arrangements, I want to observe this guy up close."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Le bowed to accept the order.

When Your Majesty entered Baoqing Port, the Fire Death Camp had already taken over the entire port and the shipyard's defense. The Eagle Nest stationed here also connected with the Eagle Nest personnel who were with Your Majesty. Openly and secretly, there had been many eyeliners, so it was safe. More importantly, Your Majesty actually did not need anyone to guard. Now, unless you are a master of Cao Chongweizhuang, who can threaten Your Majesty's safety?

When the few people walked near the dock, the two warships also approached the dock. The sailors on the boat cheered loudly and threw huge cables from the boat. The people on the dock pulled the cables and tied them to the huge winch. Several big men shouted and turned the winch and pulled the boat closer little by little until they finally got onto the dock.

Accompanied by the loud sound of the thunderbolt, huge iron anchors fell from their heads into the sea, stirring up waves, splashing the people on the pier all over their heads. The people on the pier raised their heads and cursed loudly, but the people on the boat laughed happily. Before the springboard was set up, the sailors could not wait to pull the cables and slid down from the boat in a flash.

"Your Majesty, it takes 120 sailors to drive this warship, plus the staff on the deck. Now there are 150 people on each ship. If the crew is full and the soldiers in combat are added, more than four hundred people will be added to each warship."

"I remember you said before that there are 500 such warships!" Qin Feng said.

"Your Majesty, if it is for normal training, it is indeed full of 500 people, but if you fight, some key positions must be equipped with more sets of manpower, such as helmsman and sailors who control sails. These people are very critical, but not easy to train. Once the war starts casualties, if there is no backup manpower, it will be troublesome." Yu Cong explained.

"So that's the case. I'm a completely amateur in water war. I'm just a joke!" Qin Feng said with a smile, but his eyes were looking at a person on the warship, "That person is Zhou Li, right?"

An old man with silver hair stood on the bow of the boat, with white hair flying in the wind. The most surprising thing was that this guy was a one-eyed dragon with a black eye mask on one eye. It was mid-October and Baoqing was in the sea. Although it was not as cold as elsewhere, it was time to wear a few clothes to keep the cold. However, the old man was only wearing a jacket, and half of it was open, revealing the bulging muscles inside. His two naked arms were extremely thick and dark. He stood at the bow of the boat without saying a word, but there was a fierce aura.

With the rumbling sound, the springboard was put down from the boat. Zhou Li took big steps and walked down the pedal. What surprised Qin Feng was that the navy general was barefoot.

"You don't even have a pair of shoes, right?" Qin Feng said authentically, "Even if the Ministry of War has not allocated the corresponding military expenditure, your shipyard will not even have this little money, right?"

Yu Cong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the sailors on the boat are used to barefoot, which is easier and more flexible. Isn't it stingy? Your Majesty, have you not noticed that the sailors who came down before are not wearing shoes?"

After hearing this, Qin Feng noticed that the sailors who came down from Zhou Li were indeed all barefoot. "And this one said?"

"The navy combat is completely different from the land combat." Yu Cong smiled and said, "Actually, I can't say the specific ones. Your Majesty can ask Zhou Li as much as possible, he is a big expert in this field."

The three of them stood on the dock. Although there were people coming and going around, no one could get close to them. When they were more than ten steps away from them, someone blocked their way intentionally or unintentionally, which made them look particularly eye-catching on the lively dock.

The one-eyed dragon Zhou Li saw them at a glance and strode towards them. Qin Feng looked at Zhou Li who was getting closer and closer, his face full of wind and frost. Before the people got closer, a unique smell of water from the sea was already coming. People seemed to be older than their actual age.

When he walked up to him, Zhou Li glanced at Qin Feng with a suspicious look, glanced at Yu Cong, who was standing half a step behind Qin Feng, and then looked at Eunuch Le. His pupils expanded in an instant. He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly knelt down on one knee, "Zhou Li, have you seen Your Majesty."
