Chapter 303 Maritime Parade

"This feeling of riding the wind and waves is really exciting!"

Ying Zheng stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the huge waves split by the bow. He couldn't help but feel excited and energetic.

Although the displacement of the Da Qin treasure ship was as high as 3,000 tons, it could be called a giant on the sea at this time, but the pointed bow specially designed for speed, and the twelve huge sails specially optimized for the system, coupled with today's suitable

The wind direction caused the treasure ship to run at a speed of more than twelve knots.

This speed is definitely high for today's seagoing ships.

Although the waves are very rough, thanks to the design of the huge hull and stabilizer fins, the treasure ship is very stable and not bumpy at all.

Wang Jian couldn't help but admired: "His Royal Highness the Prince's actions are indeed extraordinary. This battleship Da Qin Zulong is not only amazing in momentum and powerful, but also extremely stable.

Standing on the boat, you can barely feel the shaking. If you weren’t paying attention, you would have thought you were on land.”

"Indeed, I felt slightly dizzy when I boarded the Wuyalou ship last time, but now I feel as if I'm walking on flat ground on this giant ship."

Nei Shiteng sighed: "Other than the high cost, I really can't think of the shortcomings of this battleship."

"Don't worry. With the development of technology and the improvement of craftsmen's proficiency, the unit price of Da Qin's treasure ships will also decrease. What's more, someone will soon pay for Da Qin's sea rights."

Ying Yu smiled slightly and looked in the direction of the foreign envoys watching the ceremony on the pier.

The civil and military ministers looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Your Majesty, all warships are in position. Do you want to start the naval parade?"

Wang Li's report made everyone chatting seriously.

"Very good, here's the order, the naval parade has officially begun!"

"Today, I will inspect our Great Qin Navy warships together with the people of the world."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, Wang Li immediately waved his hand.

As the flags on the flagship Zulong were played, the officers and soldiers of the Great Qin fleet, who had been prepared for a long time, drove the warship energetically and sailed into the passage to be reviewed.

The people of Daqin, who had been waiting for a long time, also heard the familiar drumbeat of the "General's Order" and the introduction of the parade officers, and immediately understood that the ship review was about to begin.

So they all looked in the direction of the flagship.

"This naval parade is really different from the Xianyang City military parade!"

"Nonsense, last time it was a land parade, this time it is a sea parade, can it be the same? But this new giant ship is indeed majestic and domineering!"

"The giant ship just set sail, and the waves it split were higher than those of smaller ships!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that as a man, it would be a pity not to go sailing on the sea, so I decided to sign up for the navy when I go back and patrol our Great Qin Sea Territory."

The people were rejoicing one by one, and their yearning for the great voyage once again rose to a new level.

The officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Navy who were inspected all looked at the flowing blue territory with high fighting spirit.

Ying Zheng was also very excited.

The prosperity of the territory on the Daqin Road and the breadth of territory it opened had already far surpassed those of previous dynasties.

However, after all, this is an achievement created on the basis of predecessors.

And this blue territory and ocean development are truly unprecedented brilliant achievements.

For Ying Zheng, who considers himself the emperor through the ages, this undoubtedly brings a greater sense of accomplishment.

Moreover, the impact and shock brought by these giant ships on the sea, cutting through the waves one after another, are indeed stronger.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel excited when he saw it. He just felt that Da Qin had missed too many good opportunities before.

Fortunately, with Ying Yu, Da Qin directly transformed from a land power to the first empire and dominated both land and sea, opening up a path to a glorious empire that was unimaginable before.

The Roman envoy Aemilius's expression changed for a long time, and finally he let out a long sigh.

As a core member of the six oldest families in the entire city of Rome, he was a close associate of Scipio, the second consul of Rome.

Aemilius had also served in the Roman fleet and knew the importance of sea power to Rome.

It can be said that Rome's fortune began by supporting piracy and plundering of other Mediterranean countries.

It was the huge profits from the ocean that allowed Rome to catch up and develop from several weak city-states to become a powerful country in the central Mediterranean.

After seizing control of the Mediterranean Sea from Carthage, Rome completely monopolized the Mediterranean sea trade, leaping from a medium power that had been conquered by the Gauls and razing its capital a few decades ago (331 BC) to a medium power.

The Mediterranean Overlord can even attack on multiple fronts and gain advantages on all fronts.

It wasn't until it encountered the stronger and more terrifying Qin Empire that Rome tasted the bitter fruit of defeat again.

However, although Aemilius was originally nervous, it was mainly due to the pressure from the Roman Senate and the other five major families, hoping to stabilize Scipio's power as second consul.

This was still the case even after witnessing the majesty of the Great Qin Xianyang City Military Parade.

After all, no matter how powerful the army is, it is impossible to swim across the vast Mediterranean Sea.

When Persia County still belonged to Seleucid, all the shipbuilding capabilities had been destroyed by Rome. It was not easy to build a powerful fleet from scratch.

You know, there isn't even a decent tree that can build ships in Persia County today.

However, after seeing the power of the Qin Navy today, Aemilius was completely panicked.

He never imagined that Da Qin could actually build such a terrifying giant ship.

For such a huge battleship to have such speed, it would be a nightmare for any hostile fleet.

At the same time, he also realized that Da Qin might break through the land restrictions and enter the Mediterranean Sea.

Thinking of Ptolemaic Egypt and the Kingdom of Macedonia, which were about to become vassals of the Qin Dynasty, and the Seleucid Kingdom, which was completely vassalized, Aemilius couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.

On the other side, the envoys from Ptolemaic Egypt and the Kingdom of Macedonia looked at each other for a long time, and then they all showed a look of relief.

"This Great Qin is so powerful and terrifying!"

"Before, we thought that Heavenly Kingdom was just an honorific title."

"But now it seems that Da Qin really has such strength."

"Yes, with such a terrifying fleet, even God will probably take a detour when he sees it, right?"

"God? I think even if the God King comes, he will not be a match for Da Qin."

“Thankfully we have made the right choice!”

The envoys from the two countries discussed in low voices with ugly faces, and after a long time they regained their composure.
Chapter completed!
