Standing behind everyone, Sukeliu was a little anxious. When Chuyouemon entrusted Roche to stir up the matter of buying a boat for Huangli Thailand, Sukeliu knew about it and was there.

Chuemon hoped that the shipbuilding orders from the imperial court could be placed in the hands of several Japanese shipyards. One is to facilitate the shogunate's side and train more skilled shipbuilders, and the other is to accumulate shipbuilding skills to prepare for the shogunate to manufacture ironclad ships in the future.

It's not enough to sell your head to help clear, but the money you can bring is innocent!

I want to earn this money too!

Zu Liu was a little anxious, got up and wanted to say something. But Wen Xiang heard that the big ship outside the port was built by France, so his mind, body and mind all focused on Ge Luo. Even a small shogunate can buy such a big boat, so after taking Qing to buy a few of these big boats, and training an Eight Flags navy, some people in the sea area are also stable.

Seeing that there was a show, Ge Luo had a hot fight with Wen Xiang. When he returned to France, he would definitely advise Napoleon III to gradually eliminate and replace the French navy into ironclad ships. In the future, wooden warships will at most take on insignificant tasks such as liaison, transportation, and sentry.

On the water, the lethality of the flowering blasting bomb is quite strong, and there are basically no wooden boats that can escape from it. It is not necessary to keep wooden warships in the army. Turn them all into transport ships or armed merchant ships and auction them off. Get some more money to build ironclad ships.

As for shipbuilding, it is said that there is a rule. If more than four ships of the same ship type can be built at one time, the cost of their construction can be reduced by 25%, sometimes even more.

In any case, France also wants to update the ironclad ships. It is better to let the Qing people pay to build two, and the French can build two together, which can save money and be a control group.

How to negotiate in the follow-up, there will be the French minister to the Qing Bulblon to continue to contact Wenxiang, Grod quickly returned to France. According to some of his sources in France, he may be knighted. In addition, Charles Guillaume Marie Apollinaire Antoine Cousin Montauban, who actually commanded the French army (Charles; Marie Appollinaire Antoine Cousin Montauban, comte de Palikao, June 24, 1796 - January 8, 1878) , and even the title is ready, it is called the Earl of Baliqiao, to commemorate the victory of the French army in Baliqiao.

The incident of the Three Kingdoms interfering with the return of Liaoning has come to an end. Since Wen Xiang has already served as the Prime Minister and Minister of State Affairs, the follow-up work only needs to be connected. Whoever ends up with the clear order depends entirely on the means.

Sukeliu hurriedly returned to Edo with his men and horses. The conscripts of the Russians were taken in by the British, and they were all taken to Shanghai. What the Russians said later, it was not something the shogunate needed to manage. The shogunate had already sent envoys in Europe, and they would send a special letter to St. Petersburg to ask the reasons for Russia's provocation.

As for Putinya, the Russian special envoy, after a few days in a hospital bed, he still died.

Songping Qi Xuan led some of the troops and stayed in Tsushima to deal with the aftermath. The rest of the troops returned to their respective establishments, which will not be mentioned later.

Running all the way back to Edo, the help six Obito Kiyoshi intends to order new warships from France, all of which have been explained to Chuemon. Chuemon didn't rush to answer him, but first ordered Jiangchuan Yingmin to approve the list of rewards that Matsudaira Qixuan had drawn up.

If you win a battle, you will be rewarded. If there is no reward, how will you drive the soldiers to fight for the shogunate in the future? I will reward you with a salary, and you will defend my shogunate with arms.

After Jiangchuan Yingmin was sent away, Chuemon sat down with Sukeroku alone and discussed the matter.

The order is definitely hoped for, but now that the Qing court has opened its eyes and seen the world, I am afraid they will not like ships of several hundred tons. At least one or two thousand tons of warships, the Qing court can be a little interested.

in a hurry? in a hurry!

It's just that others are in a hurry, but Chungemon is not in a hurry. Because others don't know it, Britain and France don't know it, the shogunate's own officials don't know it, but the Chuemon guards know it.

Xianfeng is seriously ill!

In two or three months, Xianfeng will have to kick his legs. I don't want to go into details about the following things, as everyone knows, a series of struggles for power and profits, including a coup d'etat or something.

It is not to say that in a short period of time, I am afraid that within two or three years, the Qing court itself will not have any enterprising ability. It is very good that he can maintain the battle against the domestic Taiping army, and it is impossible to have time to take care of other things.

The plans of Britain and France to build ironclad ships have already begun, and even the United States has begun to try to build ironclad ships. In the next half century, the development of the navy will change with each passing day, and basically it will be a generation in a few years. Participating in this competition, no one can have any breathing time.

The Qing court can wait, and it will be numb, but other foreign countries will not wait. At that time, the envoys stationed in the Qing Dynasty may still not be able to understand why the Qing court suddenly lost all desire to buy ships, and they did not even see them.

Furthermore, after two or three years, the regime established by the Empress Dowager Ryogong and Prince Gong has stabilized, and the shogunate will have an advantage when they start to buy Western warships again.

I have an existing boat!

The time is on my side again!

After the second round of the British and French ironclad ships were built, the Shogunate's armored and second iron ships were completely behind, and the armor strength was not good enough. Instead of keeping it in your hands, it's better to sell it to bring it out. Then take the money with you, go to Britain and France, order new ships, and keep up with the development of ironclads.

By the way, train the manpower of the shogunate to manufacture large warships~lightnovelpub.net~ and start the construction project of the shogunate's own ironclads. After another ten years, the shogunate will be able to catch up with the new era of ironclad ships.

The famous British ship designer Barnaby designed the "Inflexble" warship in 1870. This warship was built at the Portmouth Naval Dockyard and built from 1874 to 1881. In the history of the development of battleships It has an important status as a milestone, and it was the ironclad ship with "the latest style, the thickest armor and the largest gun" in the United Kingdom at that time.

It is worth mentioning that some of his designs were later adopted by the Dingyuan-class ironclad ships, which became a temporary choice. For example, the main guns of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan were installed in the huge gun room in the middle of the hull, not the design that was installed in the bow or stern of the ship in later generations.

The Infrasix white ironclad is the so-called revolving ironclad ship. The main structure completely abandons the old wood and is built of steel. The displacement is as high as 11,880 tons. It is a first-class ironclad ship. It is composed of a steam engine and 12 boilers, with two-shaft propulsion. During the air test, the measured power was 8407 horsepower and the speed was 14.75 knots.

At that time, the shogunate will get on the horse together!
