"Faith or survival is a big problem!"

Emperor Yang said with emotion.

In fact, this question is not difficult to answer, because at this time the people of Gilja City had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. The Ming army's airships were promoted for five consecutive days. Then, when a small Ming army unit launched a tentative attack, the vast majority of the zhen warriors of Gilja City gave up their resistance, and only a few insisted on fighting for their beliefs, but it was useless. Soon the Ming army completely captured the city with less than fifty casualties. Next, when they burned the temples and scriptures, the Egyptians only watched with grief and anger without any overreaction.

"In fact, many Egyptians have begun to actively cooperate with our army."

Feng Zhen said with a smile.

"Oh, the transition is so fast?"

Yang Feng said something unexpectedly.

"The main reason is that our soldiers do not steal their things. The Arabs' habit of fighting are to loot all the occupied areas, and they snatch all the food, property and even beautiful women. But our soldiers do not snatch anything at all, that is, there is an occasional one who can't hold back the rape of women, but they throw away the rewards afterwards. This is completely a surprise to the Egyptians."

Feng Zhen said.

Yang Feng was speechless.

Of course, he knew why the soldiers of the Ming army did not steal things. Even the most ordinary soldiers of the Seventh Army had 1,000 dragon yuan. At this time, employees of major banks in China were flocking to Egypt to compete for customers, and they all brought boxes of dragon yuan banknotes. It was impossible for the soldiers to fight with a huge sum of money that could buy villas on their own. Depositing them into the bank was the best choice, but the major banks of the Ming Dynasty had no branches in Egypt. This time, for the more than 100 million dragon yuan they had, all the bank outlets in the occupied areas would be quickly established.

By the way, they could not even like the Egyptian peasants' families. As for rape women, this is inevitable. It is already very civilized if they did not exercise their rights there.

Well, in fact, they were for cows in ancient times.

"Tell Fan Hong, just do this, don't be too impatient, take it slowly, conquer one city by one, attack the heart first, you can show your magnanimity appropriately, and their agricultural system is indeed too backward. Anyway, the Mamuliuk class basically no longer exists now. You can discuss with Murad to change the system. As for how to change, you can invite the leaders of each city to discuss it together, but those elders are the masters of rebellion, this is absolutely unforgivable, that is, if the cities want to discuss, they must first kill the elders."

Yang Feng continued.

Well, this is an absolute trick.

Egypt's agricultural system is indeed too backward. If it continues, it will definitely affect future cotton production, so it must be changed. The previous Egyptian uprising killed Mamulikbeys and there were few left to fight on the front line with Murad, so the foundation of this system no longer exists. What the Egyptians most unbearable, or the main driving force for their fighting under the banner of Zhenzhu is to get rid of this agricultural system that has lasted for hundreds of years, use the threat of the flood, and use the temptation of a good life in the future, and use the lifting of the agricultural system to remove the firewood, forcing the original warriors from all over Egypt to turn against each other, kill the elders of the temple themselves to surrender.

This will completely destroy the foundation of their faith.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Feng Zhen said quickly.

Obviously, Chief of Staff Feng also understands what this is for.

"See Your Majesty!"

At this time, a series of bows sounded in front of them.

"All up, thank you for your hard work!"

Yang Feng said.

"I am willing to devote myself to Your Majesty!"

A middle-aged man in front of him said excitedly.

Behind this middle-aged man, there was a large number of workers wearing blue work clothes, actually canvas jackets and trousers. This kind of work clothes made by Emperor Yang is becoming a common wear for workers in the Ming Dynasty, and they all use another invention of His Majesty the Emperor, namely copper zippers. In the dock behind these workers is a giant ship that has just been built...

A real giant ship.

Compared with this, the Dingyuan-class ironclad ship of the Navy has become a small toy, because the Dingyuan-class ironclad ship is only thirty feet long, while the length of this giant ship is close to fifty feet. The Dingyuan-class ironclad ship has only two chimneys, while the Dingyuan-class ironclad ship has four. The Dingyuan-class ironclad ship has only two masts in front and back, while this giant ship has six masts. On both sides of the giant ship, there are strange paddle wheels that have been eliminated in the Ming Dynasty, but it is not just paddle wheels, because there are two huge brass propellers at the stern. This is a giant ship with three power sets of sails, paddle wheels and propellers.

"Is this my Dongfang?"

Emperor Yang said affectionately standing by the dock.

"Your Majesty, this is your Oriental."

The middle-aged man just said.

"The full load displacement is 31,000 tons, the standard displacement is 25,000 tons, and it has three 5,000 horsepower steam engines, two drive one propeller and the other drives the outboard paddle wheel."

He paused a little embarrassedly. In fact, Emperor Yang's stupid decision made all the masters involved in the design confused. They really didn't understand why they had to install paddle wheels. Even if they used three propellers, they would have a certain difficulty in designing, but it was definitely not impossible to achieve. However, the installation of paddle wheels suddenly dropped significantly. After all, in addition to inland river boats and inland river boats that specialize in small river ditches, there is no new ship under construction in the Ming shipyard using paddle wheels, except for the emperor.

Fortunately, I don’t understand, so I don’t understand.

God's will is hard to predict!

How can mortals understand what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking?

"There are six sails, using twelve heavy oil boilers, four of which can be mixed with kerosene. If all sails raise the maximum power of all steam engines, the fastest speed will not be lower than twenty nautical miles under the wind. If fuel is used alone, the speed of ten nautical miles can reach 8,000 nautical miles. Considering that sails and propellers can be used in the appropriate wind direction, the maximum range of 12,000 nautical miles under normal circumstances can reach 12,000 nautical miles. If sails and paddle wheels are used in combination, the range of 15,000 nautical miles can even reach 15,000 nautical miles. Of course, the speed can only be maintained within seven nautical miles. If sails alone can also allow this giant ship to survive nearly unlimited at the fastest speed of four nautical miles."

He continued.

"This is my Great Oriental!"

Emperor Yang said affectionately again.

By the way, he was doing so many things in his mobile palace. In addition to paying tribute to the Great Oriental, the more important thing is to make the voyage. It was not modern at this time. Except for Daming, he probably wouldn't have any port to replenish fuel, and even coal was not that easy. So this giant ship must be able to be driven by sails. Even if it would be slow to use sails, it must also have this ability. It doesn't matter if it's slower. As long as it can go, it's enough. This is the meaning of four kerosene mixed boilers. In fact, it's not just kerosene mixed boilers, they can also simply burn coal. If they really can't fill it with firewood, of course, it requires a lot of firewood.

As for paddle wheel...

That also has meaning.

The propeller's power system is not as reliable as the paddle wheel at present, which is inevitable. After all, this kind of thing has not appeared for a few years. He didn't want the propeller power system to fail and cannot be repaired halfway. The paddle wheel power system has almost no reliability problem. Even if it is broken, there is no problem of not being repaired. Compared with the propeller's transmission system, this thing is too simple. It can be repaired with a little experience. The spare parts are also extremely simple. You can process the complete set on the ship. In this way, even if the propeller system is broken, the giant ship can still rely on paddle wheels and sails to sail.

To put it bluntly, everything is to ensure his safety in voyage.

"Your Majesty, can you get into the water?"

The middle-aged man, actually the chief designer of this giant ship, asked carefully.

"Into the water!"

Yang Feng said.

"Open the floodgates!"

The middle-aged man immediately said to his assistant.

As a series of orders were issued, the dock gate opened, and the sea water immediately poured into the dock, instantly submerging the bottom of the first giant ship built by mankind, and then the water surface quickly approached the lowest waterline.

Looking at the Dadongfang, which was gradually rising under the influence of buoyancy, Yang Feng seemed to see the scene of himself riding it on the sea. Of course, the ship was not completely completed at this time, and there was still a lot of interior decoration needed to be completed. But this work was not in the dock. The largest dock in the Ming Dynasty was about to build a giant freighter of 10,000 tons, and the subsequent decoration was not something that shipyard workers could do. On the special dock in Nanjing, a large number of skilled craftsmen were carrying countless expensive materials, waiting to turn this giant steel ship into a mobile palace.

A sea palace of His Majesty the Emperor.

In a special school in the palace, nearly a thousand young and beautiful girls were wearing royal naval cadet uniforms, where they were carefully learning all related technologies, including driving to maintenance and weapon use, and preparing to board the ship to serve Emperor Yang after the Great Oriental was completed. Their learning content even included various knowledge, including catering to laying beds and quilts for the emperor, and even warming the bed.

Well, there will be no man on the future Dadongfang, except Emperor Yang, and even eunuchs will not be there.

As for the palace, of course they are all women.

It even includes a guard team composed of all female soldiers.

What, too wasteful?
