Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 380, people from different backgrounds

More than a dozen large ships set sail, and the wind bulged the sails. The ships left the port very regularly, and slowly floated towards the water and sky.

"It's really annoying~"

In the port, Zhu Houzhao seemed a little irritable. His whole heart followed the boats and floated into the sea.

I wish I could personally lead the leading team to wipe out Japanese pirates and pirates, and then fight the natives on Ryukyu for [-] rounds after arriving in Ryukyu.

Only this time, Liu Jin, Zhang Mao, and Liu Jin were all staring at each other. Even if he wanted to sneak along with him, he couldn't do it. He could only watch the ship get farther and farther away.

"Your Highness, when the situation stabilizes in the future, let's go to the Ryukyu together sometime. There will be a long time in Japan, and there will be plenty of opportunities."

Of course Liu Jin saw the excitement in Zhu Houzhao's heart, and said with a smile.

"That's what you said. If you don't take me to Ryukyu once in the future, I will be the first to take off your black hat after becoming emperor."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao felt better, and then said to Liu Jin.

"..."

Liu Jin suddenly felt speechless, feeling that this was a disaster from heaven.

"..."

Zhang Mao and Liu Jin on the side are also speechless. You are the only prince in history who dare to say this. Your father, Emperor Hongzhi, is still alive and well, and you are thinking about being the emperor yourself. Is this really okay? ?

In the field of vision, more than a dozen large ships gradually became smaller and gradually disappeared into the rising sun.

Li Yuanshan is a student who graduated from Tianjin Maritime Academy.

As a graduate of Tianjin Maritime Academy, he is very popular. Before he graduated, there were already many, many people waving bank notes from the First Bank of Daming to sign him and let him go to sea for him. fish, go to sea to do business.

Moreover, Li Yuanshan's academic performance in Tianjin Maritime Academy is very good. Ordinary students who graduate usually become captains and help people go fishing. After they have more experience, they can go to the North Korean route. The North Korean route can take the Japanese route. .

However, Li Yuanshan, who is an excellent college, can directly skip the previous stage, and directly lead the fleet to North Korea and the country of Japan. He used to be a member of the sea fleet under Liu Jin's command, and he has traveled to and from the country of Japan several times. , has very rich sailing experience.

This time, he was also transferred by Liu Jin and became the deputy captain of the advance team, in charge of commanding the dozen or so large ships.

On the "Great General" at the beginning, Li Yuanshan took a telescope to carefully observe the situation in all directions. Not long after he left Tianjin Port, fishing boats could still be seen approaching the port in the surrounding waters.

"Ryukyu Road~"

"Leaving the Bohai Sea, entering the Yellow Sea, going south along the Yellow Sea, and entering the East China Sea, you can reach Ryukyu. The whole process will take about half a month."

The surroundings were very safe at this time, so Li Yuanshan also opened the chart and began to carefully calculate the route and time to reach Ryukyu.

He is the deputy captain of the advance team, and he is mainly responsible for this job. The captain of the advance team is a person named Dong Mu sent by Zhu Houzhao in name.

Li Yuanshan had been in contact with this Dong Mu before, and he knew at a glance that he was an official. He acted in an official style, so he took a fancy to Li Yuanshan, who was originally a mud-legged person.

For such an official, Li Yuanshan naturally respected him like a god in the past, but now, he doesn't want to pay too much attention to this Dong Mu at all.

I am a person who relies on my ability to make a living. Even if I don't work in this advance team, I can do well in other fleets casually. I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I live a leisurely life.

As for that Dong Mu, he doesn't have much ability, and his mouth is full of bureaucratic accents, which makes people extremely uncomfortable. If he didn't work for Mr. Liu, he wouldn't be bothered to have any communication with such a person.

Li Yuanshan and Dong Mu almost represented the situation of the entire advance team.

Li Yuanshan represents the backbones that Liu Jin has drawn from various industries under his command. Learn, so slowly all come to the fore.

Now they are basically middle and low-level managers in the major industries under Liu Jin's command, or people like Li Yuanshan, who themselves are excellent graduates of Tianjin Maritime Academy.

Dong Mu represents the people who were stuffed into the advance team by Emperor Hongzhi. These people were basically officials in the past, and they were hundreds of households, thousands of households, and some military generals who were drawn by Emperor Hongzhi from the army of his cronies. younger generation.

They themselves have official status, and some of them are the descendants of military general Xungui. They are from noble backgrounds, and they were sent here to control the advance team.

There is a huge difference between the two groups of people. Although after more than a month of training, they basically eat and sleep together, but it is still difficult to say that they are truly integrated with each other.

After all, there are distinct classes and strict hierarchy. For people like Li Yuanshan, the current life is already very good, and they don't expect to have an official status in the future.

As for people like Dong Mu and the like, they are officials themselves, so they are naturally superior to others, and they look down on people like Li Yuanshan.

Of course, there is no conflict between them. We just get along together and go to the Ryukyu Island to build an advance base. After this matter is over, everyone will find their own mothers. To mix together, to become brothers who get along day and night, share life and death.

"Team Lee~"

While Li Yuanshan was researching the route and route, a man walked in with a smile on his face.

"Oh, it's Zhang Lun~"

Li Yuanshan looked up and said with a smile.

The person who came was Zhang Lun, the grandson of the British Duke Zhang Mao, who was also sent by Emperor Hongzhi. Of course, Li Yuanshan only knew that his name was Zhang Lun, but he didn't know that he was Zhang Mao's grandson.

But from Zhang Lun's body, Li Yuanshan can still guess that the identity of Zhang Lun in front of him is not simple. Most of them are the children of the rich and powerful in the capital. Qi, you can tell it's extraordinary just by looking at it.

After more than a month of honing, daily training and learning with everyone, and now wearing the uniform of the advance team, no one can tell that he will be the grandson of the Duke.

At first, Zhang Lun didn't understand why he was sent to the advance team. As the grandson of the Duke of England, he could have enjoyed happiness in the Duke's mansion.

But he didn't want to be thrown directly to the advance team by Zhang Mao. After more than a month of training, his whole body was tanned, and he was half dead from exhaustion every day. life.

It's just that no matter how he protests or makes trouble, it's useless. The instructors here at Tianjin Maritime Academy don't care whether you are Zhang Mao's grandson or anyone's son.

As for him expressing his dissatisfaction to Zhang Mao again and again, Zhang Mao didn't bother to pay attention.

Zhang Mao is a ghost, a ghost, he has seen something from the advance team, and he has seen that Emperor Hongzhi will build an army that only obeys the emperor's orders in the future.

Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to this advance team. As long as the advance team performed well, Emperor Hongzhi would definitely form an army based on the advance team in the future.

As a military commander in the Xungui Group, Zhang Mao knew what this meant, so he threw his grandson in early and mixed in there early.

When the new army is formed, you can also occupy the pit in advance. In the future, you won't be like yourself. How aggrieved as a dignitary, the most important thing you do is to sacrifice your ancestors, and you are overwhelmed by civil servants I can't even lift it up.

So even though he watched his grandson suffer and Zhang Lun was tanned, Zhang Mao remained indifferent. In Liu Jin's words, Zhang Lun used to look weak, but now he basks in the sun and trains every day. Much stronger.

From Zhang Lun's unsuitability and fierce resistance at the beginning, he has gradually adapted to the current life now. With a regular life every day, people's minds become purer, and the whole person's spirit becomes more and more powerful. it is good.

He began to think about why his grandfather threw himself here. After thinking about some of these things, he also began to study seriously, actively enjoying and experiencing the current life.

"Captain Li, I still don't know how to calculate the position of the ship~"

Zhang Lun held a notebook in his hand, on which he wrote and drew. For more than a month, they trained during the day and took classes at night to learn navigation knowledge and some simple military knowledge.

What Zhang Lun is most interested in now is navigation knowledge, so he often consults students from the Navigation Academy such as Li Yuanshan for advice.

"This thing is actually very simple. You can use this sextant, point it at the sun in the sky, move it to a horizontal position, and then get this included angle..."

For people like Zhang Lun who are willing to take the initiative to contact and ask him for advice, Li Yuanshan still likes him very much, and he also feels that he has a lot of face.

In the past, I was a mud-legged person, planing food in the ground, and had no chance to contact noble people like Zhang Lun at all. However, fate is so magical. Now not only do I get in touch with each other, but I can also be a part of these noble people. Teacher, even able to direct them.

This is very fulfilling.

This made him feel that his hard work in the past was very worthwhile, and all his efforts were rewarded, so now Li Yuanshan has also developed the habit of reading, and he has to study by himself every day, learn more knowledge, and constantly growth.

When I was a child, I had no chance or life to study. Now that I have the opportunity and luck, I have to work harder.
