Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1722 I beat my son
Zheng Chenggong and his party quarreled in the tavern until midnight before leaving and returned to the temporary brick house arranged for them in the city by the Navy Lecture Hall.

Zheng Chenggong, who used to be the captain of the Zheng He, naturally suffered the most under the persuasion of his classmates, so that after the celebration banquet, Hannah, the older sister, and several other classmates were asked to help him go back.

"Ugh..." When Zheng Chenggong was about to reach the brick house, his abdomen couldn't help rolling, and he vomited while leaning on the wall.

"This time the captain is drinking too much. I should have known that we would not be so late." Several students said.

Compared with Zheng Chenggong, they are not bad.

When they were about to bring Zheng Chenggong back to their residence, they found several burly people at the door of the brick house, including a middle-aged couple.

When the leading middle-aged man saw Zheng Chenggong being supported, he had a serious face.And the woman looked worried.

"Who are you?" Hannah asked warily.

The middle-aged man answered, "I am Zheng Zhilong of the Beiyang Fleet."

Zheng Zhilong!Hannah and other students, including Hannah, were shocked by the name and froze on the spot.

Before joining the Kyushu Army, Zheng Zhilong was already well-known far and wide, running across the southeast coast, repeatedly breaking the imperial navy.It is also the current commander of the Beiyang Fleet, coercing Dongying and Korea, so that dissatisfied locals dare not rebel.He is the candidate to succeed the current Secretary of the Navy Nelson as the next Secretary of the Navy!
Hannah and several naval students may be assigned to the Beiyang Fleet in the future, and they are full of awe of the commander in charge of the Beiyang Fleet.

"Father...Father!"

Zheng Chenggong was in a daze at first, but when he heard his father's majestic voice, he was frightened and half awake.

"I want to take this incompetent guy away!"

Zheng Zhilong ordered the left and right guards to support Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong was supported by tall guards and could not move.

Hannah and her classmates were forced by Zheng Zhilong's majesty, and this was my job to discipline his son, so they dared not object.

"Are you Hannah, the younger sister of the Grand Master of the Hospitaller Knights?" Zheng Zhilong asked after discovering Hannah's existence when he asked the guards to escort his son away.

"Yes... I don't know what instructions the commander has?" Hannah asked anxiously.

"It's nothing." Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but look at Hannah twice.

Not only Zheng Zhilong, but also Zheng Zhilong's wife Tian Chuansong also looked at Hannah.

Hannah felt that they were a little baffled, but Zheng Zhilong and his wife soon left here with a dejected Zheng Chenggong.

"The captain is not doing well this time. It is said that his father is usually very strict with him. If he was caught drunk this time, he will probably suffer." Zheng Chenggong's classmates shook their heads repeatedly.

In fact, Zheng Chenggong happened to be caught by his father. It is said that Zheng Zhilong's roar came from the house where Zheng Zhilong lived that day: "Good boy, you haven't improved much in your skills, and you can't drink too much. You are getting worse and worse. Arrogant!"

What followed was the sound of waving canes and Tagawa's dissuading voice.

When Zheng Chenggong came back the next day, his face was a little bruised. The students probably knew what happened, and it was not easy to ask about other people's family affairs.

"Well……"

Zheng Chenggong felt a little painful when Hannah helped him with cold compresses.

"Is your father really willing to do it?" Hannah thought that Zheng Chenggong would be fine after being taken away by Zheng Zhilong last night, but Zheng Chenggong, who was already an adult, was given a good lesson with a cane.

"I'm still my father after all, and I can't fight back..." Zheng Chenggong said helplessly.

When Zheng Zhilong was his age, he was a big pirate who ran across the southeast coast and dealt with Daming, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Japan. It's not light.

"Has he forgiven you now?" Hannah asked.

"Not yet. It was obviously a triumphant return yesterday. Everyone was drinking. It stands to reason that I did nothing wrong... and my second uncle said that my parents would not arrive in a few days. Who knew they would come?" So fast." Zheng Chenggong was tricked by Zheng Zhihu.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"I don't know either. It will be fine when he calms down. Anyway, if I die, I won't apply for the Beiyang Fleet, otherwise I will always be stared at by my father, and I will feel uncomfortable doing anything. By the way, Sister Hannah, Which fleet do you plan to apply for?" Zheng Chenggong asked.

"Maybe it's the Fourth Fleet, it's closer to the island of Malta..." Hannah said.

"I said, Sister Hannah, can you apply to serve in the Zhili Fleet instead?" Zheng Chenggong asked suddenly.

"The reason?" Hannah was a little surprised.

"I may have to apply to serve in the Zhili Fleet. If you go to the Fourth Fleet, it may be difficult for us to see each other again in the future."

"Isn't this a very normal thing? After graduation, the students of the Navy Lecture Hall will go their separate ways..."

"When I was in Barbados in the Caribbean, I told Miss Hannah that if I could get a violin made by the Amati family in Italy, I hope you would marry me. You refused at that time, But this time I actually got an Amati violin..."

Zheng Chenggong opened a box, which contained stuffing such as cotton cloth, and lay a precious violin.

"No, no way..." Hannah covered her mouth and exclaimed.

She was not surprised by the violin itself, but because Zheng Chenggong actually bought the violin, and she thought the other party was just joking.

"If you agree, it happens that my parents are also in Tianjin Wei, maybe I can still meet them." Zheng Chenggong said bravely.

In order to get such a violin as a collection, he asked his second uncle Zheng Zhihu on credit, and asked Zheng Zhihu to find an Italian businessman to inquire and buy it.

On the other hand, Zheng Zhilong is dissatisfied with him that he has not yet married in his twenties, and has ordered him to get married as soon as possible.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong planned to let Zheng Chenggong go on a blind date with a well-matched family he knew, instead of a female knight of the Hospital Knights who had little influence in China. This was not very beneficial to Zheng Chenggong's career.But Zheng Chenggong disagreed, so Zheng Zhilong was more ruthless yesterday.

This is something that Hannah and other students never thought of.

Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to compromise and let Zheng Chenggong handle the matter himself.

Although Zheng Zhilong had several sons, only Zheng Chenggong's son entered the Admiralty, so he naturally put all his hopes on cultivating this son.

"It's too sudden, I have to think about it..." Hannah finally understood why Zheng Zhilong and his wife looked at her more last night.
