The Longjiang Shipyard, a Dutch merchant ship that had just left not long ago, was dragged back.

At the same time, the giant trees discovered by Liang State from Hangzhou were also transported to the shipyard.

This time, the dismantling and reinstallation of the Dutch ship was started at the same time as the three-masted barbarian ship imitated by the Liang Kingdom.

At Gao Huan's suggestion, Song Yingxing asked each workshop to mass produce the materials needed for shipbuilding according to the drawings, and then transported them to the shipyard for assembly.

This is undoubtedly a great improvement. It not only reduces costs and increases speed, but also processes and fine division of labor, which are more than 100 years ahead of Europe.

It is obvious that the moment when Gao Huan made this suggestion will definitely be recognized by later scholars as one of the hundred important moments that influenced the development of human industry and commerce.

As the shipyard began to imitate three-masted merchant ships, various workshops that provided materials to the shipyard were also operating, giving Liang State a complete shipbuilding supply chain.

Time flies, and in November 1648, most of the year has passed in a blink of an eye.

At this time, after Kuiyi and other Dutch people purchased goods three times in Shanghai, they finally welcomed Dutch merchant ships back to Taiwan again.

The Dutch, who were a member of Kuiyi, stood under the dock, saw two identical merchant ships among the two adjacent docks. She was shocked and speechless.

Although Aoi had a premonition of all this after completing the disassembly and reassembly of the merchant ship at the shipyard for the first time, she did not expect it to be so fast.

In less than a year, the Liang Kingdom imitated the barbarian ship.

You know, it took Zheng Zhilong several years to recruit a large number of Western barbarians to imitate the three-masted gunship.

Now, Liang State has successfully imitated the Dutch armed merchant ship in less than a year. How can Kui Yi not be surprised?

However, the rice has become porridge, and things have already happened. Aoi has no choice but to take the merchant ship back.

Because Liang State mastered the ability to imitate merchant ships, the Dutch dared not raise prices and trade was ruled.

This is the Longjiang Shipyard, where craftsmen and family members stand on the edge of the Yangtze River, and many Nanjing people also watch the fun.

At this time, the crowd gathered on the riverside, talking about the shipyard.

"Have you heard it? The king has started to build treasure ships!"

"Today is the treasure ship launching!"

While everyone was talking, a cannon in the shipyard saw a three-masted seaship with colorful flags slowly sailing into the Yangtze River.

Thousands of craftsmen in Longjiang Shipyard saw the three-masted ships entering the Yangtze River, jumped up happily, cheered loudly, and hugged each other.

The people watching by the Yangtze River couldn't help but talk when they saw the three-masted merchant ship.

"Hey~ it's not a treasure ship!"

"Why isn't a treasure ship!"

Gao Huan set the Longjiang Shipyard as a military forbidden area to prevent the people from getting close. Over time, news spread among the people that the Longjiang Shipyard was making treasure ships.

Liang Guo’s newspaper reports that Zheng Zhilong monopolized marine trade, as well as the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and even the United Kingdom.

These are all written by Gao Huan, with the purpose of letting the people know the situation outside.

People in Jiangnan like to talk about current affairs and understand the difficulties faced by Liang State on the sea. They all hope that Liang State can build treasure ships to sweep Zheng Zhilong and the Western Barbarians.

Seeing that it is not a treasure ship now makes the earliest military fans of this era feel a little disappointed.

However, Gao Huan was very happy when he watched the armed merchant ship launching the water.

"King! I am fortunate to be unfair to my destiny!" Song Yingxing bowed with a smile.

Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work this time. Now that the imitation of the warship is on track, you should have rested for a while, but I still have important things to do!"

In order to build a ship, Song Yingxing stayed in the shipyard for more than half a year.

Now that the shipbuilding is on track, he can get out. He originally thought he could rest for a while and reunite with his family, but he didn't expect Gao Huan to have a mission.

"Just give your orders!" Song Yingxing bowed.

Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Do you know how to make a self-made musket?"

"Born the musket?" Song Yingxing frowned and thought.

Gao Huan decided to develop economic and cultivate internal strength, and at the same time innovate equipment to widen the gap with the Qing army, the pseudo-Ming army, the Zheng army, the Western army, and the Shun army.

Now the Liang State is full of enemies on all sides. With the existing strength of the Liang army, it is difficult to break the deadlock and it is not easy to break the encirclement.

Therefore, Gao Huan could only innovate the Liang army's equipment, distance himself from the enemy, and then launch a unified war.

At that time, the Liang army's flintlock rifle, field bronze cannon, siege mortar cannon and flowering bullet will be semi-modernized, and the old-style army will not be destroyed.

After Song Yingxing joined Liang State, he helped Gao Huan improve smelting, cannon casting, forging, shipbuilding and other things, keeping him busy.

There are too many things to care about, and some things are easy to forget. Song Yingxing thought for a while before asking: "But the former right minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Nanjing, Bi Maokang, made a musket in the Chongzhen period?"

Seeing that he knew, Gao Huan couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, it was the self-generated musket made by Bi Maokang!"

Song Yingxing said: "The self-generated musket "Military Weapon Picture Notes" records that I have seen. When ordinary muskets encounter wind and rainy weather, they must first open the fire door and then lift it against the enemy. The fuse and gunpowder are often easily wet by the rain and cannot be released. The self-generated musket is said to change the way of fire, causing the flint to strike the machine and get angry, and can still be used in wind and rainy days!"

Gao Huan nodded and said, "Yes, this self-generated musket is also called a flintlock rifle. Now the countries of Europa have begun to equip one after another, but my harness has nothing to do."

Gao Huan paused and continued: "I learned from the Western Yi that self-generated muskets are a big leap compared to bird guns. It uses flint instead of flint, and uses the trigger to drive the hammer to hit the flint sheet through the spring, producing Mars to ignite gunpowder, without having to drag a lit flint during combat like the bird guns. It cannot be used in rainy days, and the light of the flint can easily expose the soldiers at night."

Song Yingxing said: "The advantages of self-producing muskets are obvious, but according to my understanding, it is difficult to create reeds and the rate of flint fire is low. It is better to ignite bird guns directly with flints, and they do not fire them!"

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "I know there is something wrong with self-producing muskets, so I want to solve these problems!"

When Song Yingxing heard the words, he was silent for a while and nodded, "Since the king has an order, I will do my best!"

Gao smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

1648 was a busy year for Liang State and a year of construction.

As the first year of the five-year plan, Liang Guofan's government has started to operate at full speed since the conference.

Once you are busy, time passes quickly, and the end of the year is coming in a blink of an eye.

This year, the mainstream of Liang State was development and construction, but not all of this for other forces.

Guanzhong Shunguo.

After Li Jiyu withdrew his troops from Luoyang, he spent five months to quell the Gansu area in response to Li Guo's uprising, and then he advanced eastward without stopping, fighting fiercely with Li Guo and Liu Zongmin for six months.

At this time, as time goes by, Li Jiyu has more troops and the advantages of the support of the Qing Dynasty gradually emerged, and Li Guo will also usher in his last moments.
