Over the years, Longjiang Shipyard has gradually gotten on the right track.

Since Zhu Cilang arrived in person, he made a promise with a group of ship workers. The craftsmen who were originally passive and lazy have worked hard to join the construction of warships.

Longjiang Shipyard is the largest shipyard in the Ming Dynasty, and the personal skills of ship workers are also top-notch.

Theoretically, the warships they can make include: warships, patrol ships, whistle boats, wave boats, steamships, godships, eagle boats, three-plate patrol ships, serial boats, son-and-mother boats, two-headed boats, big blessing boats, blue boats, single-skipping boats, white boats, and bluff boats; the transport ships they can make include: big and small yellow boats, fast ships, Jianghan class boats, eight oar boats, full-skipping boats, three Wu wave boats, Xi'an boats, clearing the flowing boats, sacking boats, black house boats, salt boats, black boats, red single boats, etc.; ordinary sea boats include: crab boats, foreign boats, and sealing boats.

But Zhu Cilang didn't need them to build such a large variety of ships.

He issued an imperial edict and ordered Longjiang Shipyard to make all the best fortune ships, broad boats and bird boats, as well as a small number of wave boats.

Needless to say, the lucky ship and the Guangzhou ship are the most commonly used sea ships in Fujian, Guangdong and other regions. As for bird ships, they are small sea ships with a straight hull and are extremely flexible in sailing on the sea.

These three types of ships were designated by Zhu Ciyang as the main ships of the Ming Navy in the future. As for sand ships, they are more suitable as transport ships in Neijiang, and they are not suitable for long-distance voyages in the sea.

This is why Zhu Cixuan was not happy after seeing the memorial submitted by Duke Wei, Xu Wenjue.

In his memorial, the Duke of Wei wrote that there were 400 warships in the Daming Navy Base located in Xinjiangkou waiting to be reviewed by His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Cilang knew that the so-called warships in this navy base were all "sand ships".

The sand ship is flat bottom, and the draft is shallow and not easy to get stranded. It is suitable for driving in the Inner River. However, it is too difficult to use it as a sea ship, especially a warship. This kind of ship will easily overturn when encountering large winds and waves, and is not suitable for assembling artillery. It is not a suitable choice for warships no matter how you look at it.

Of course, Zhu Cilang did not immediately comment on the memorial, but kept the memorial to the public.

There are many things to worry about at the moment, and he has not had the time to go to Xinjiangkou to inspect the so-called navy.

Just when Zhu Cixuan wanted to cross a report from Jiajitang from Shandong, the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang asked for a visit.

Zhu Cilang had no choice but to put down the Tangbao in his hand and summoned him.

"I bow to the Emperor, long live the Emperor."

Liu Chuanzong knelt down on the ground and gave a big gift. Zhu Cixuan raised his hand and called out, "Parent Liu, let's be calm, what's the matter if you come to see him today?"

"Your Majesty, I have a secret report!"

After saying that, Liu Chuanzong raised a black wooden box high above his head.

“Show it.”

Zhu Cilang nodded slightly, and the eunuch walked to Liu Chuanzong and took the wooden box, and then walked carefully to Zhu Cilang.

Zhu Cixuan opened the wooden box himself, took out a thick stack of documents from it, and looked at it carefully from the beginning.

It took him half an hour to finish reading this stack of documents, and his face had already become extremely cold.

"These are so heartless things!"

It turned out that Zhu Cilang had been ordering Jinyiwei and the people from the East Factory to stare at the civil servants and ministers to prevent them from transferring their property.

After all, there are three holes in the cunning rabbit, and Zhu Cilang doesn't believe that they will store all their property in the mansion in Nanjing.

Unexpectedly, the Dongchang men did not find these borers transferring their property, but found that Qian Qianyi, who was unemployed at home, suddenly visited the Duke of Wei's mansion.

This immediately aroused Liu Chuanzong's vigilance, and he immediately sent additional personnel to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to inquire about the news.

I don’t know if I didn’t check it, but when I checked it, I scared Liu Chuanzong.

After Qian Qianyi left, a number of honorary officials, including Duke Baoguo Zhang Guobi and Duke Longping Zhang Gongri, came to Duke Wei Guogong's mansion and secretly discussed with Duke Wei Xu Wenjue.

Although the Dongchang manuscript cannot find out what they discussed specifically, there must be a demon when it comes to things. So many heroes suddenly gather together must have an ulterior motive.

At this time, a craftsman from the Longjiang Shipyard came to Yingtian Mansion to report the case, saying that his clan brother had not come back since he was taken to the Xinjiangkou Naval Base by people from the Duke of Wei's Mansion a few days ago.

The boatman was very worried, so he reported the case to ask Master Qingtian to help him seek justice.

However, Yingtian Prefecture did not dare to offend Duke of Wei, so he immediately ordered someone to beat the boatman forty boards and forked them out.

All this was seen by a Dongchang man passing by Yingtian Prefecture, and immediately reported to Dongchang Admiral Liu Chuanzong.

With his keen sense of smell, Liu Chuanzong determined that these two things had some connection, so he asked the Dongchang man to question the beaten half-dead ship workers.

After some inquiry, Liu Chuanzong learned that five days ago, the manager of the Duke of Wei's mansion went to Longjiang Shipyard and seconded several ship workers from Longjiang Shipyard on the grounds that several sand ships at the Xinjiangkou Naval Base needed to be repaired, including this clan brother who reported the case to sue the wronged ship.

It is enough to repair the ship normally for one or two days, but these seconded ship workers did not return for five days. The officials of the Longjiang Shipyard Procuratorate Department did not dare to offend Duke Wei, so they suppressed the matter.

But the missing boatman of the clan brother was unwilling to accept it, so he went to Yingtian Mansion to report the case, which led to what happened next.

There are many doubts in this.

Why did Duke Wei take the initiative to second the ship workers from the Longjiang Shipyard to the Xinjiangkou Naval Base to repair sand ships? Isn’t there anyone in the large naval base able to repair ships?

Even if no one can repair the Xinjiangkou Naval Base, then the seconded ship workers should release people back after the repairs, right? How could there be no reason to detain people?

The Duke of Wei must be intentionally covering up something!

Liu Chuanzong was completely aroused his interest. He sent all the staff in the East Factory to investigate the matter. Finally, he found clues from Zhang Gongri, the Marquis of Longping.

It turned out that Zhang Gongri, the Marquis of Longping, had a beloved concubine, who was usually hidden in the villa in Wuyi Lane.

There are only two entrances in this villa, which is where Zhang Gongri hides his beauty in the golden house. There are no one else in the courtyard except for a few old mothers and three or two maids. It is easier to sneak into the house than the heavily guarded Marquis' Mansion.

On the same day and night, Zhang Gongri came to the other courtyard as usual to have fun with his beloved concubine. Because he was drunk, he actually told them and the Duke of Wei to his beloved concubine on the bed.

All of this was heard by the Dongchang Fanzi who sneaked into the Longpinghou Villa and reported it to Liu Chuanzong as soon as possible.

These civil servants and ministers actually wanted to kill the monarch!

After learning the news, Liu Chuanzong was also shocked and collected a lot of evidence according to the clue. Then he hurried to the palace to report to the emperor.

Until he entered the palace, the Dongchang Manzi only monitored the officials involved and did not arrest him.

In his opinion, before His Majesty the Emperor knows this and makes a decision, he must not be alerted.
