Chapter 362 Zheng He, set sail!

Xiao Jing took the information and ran all the way.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Huai has inquired about the news, saying that those foreigners who bought the blueprint of the iron-clad ship are hiding on a very poor island."

"What poor island?"

Zhu Qizhen was full of doubts, where did this come from?

Xiao Jing said cautiously: "Eunuch Huai said so..."

"Is he full and full, playing some charades with me?"

Zhu Qizhen was very angry, and said: "Since everything has been confirmed, why not arrest people?"

"Back to the emperor, Eunuch Huai specially instructed the servants, if they do it rashly, they might startle the snake, and wait for the details of those foreigners to be found out, or wait for those foreigners to come to contact Cao Dejin, and then it will not be too late."

"Well, what he said is also reasonable, so let's check it!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then said, "What kind of poor island?"

With a smile on Xiao Jing's face, he said: "This... the servant doesn't know..."

Zhu Qizhen said helplessly: "The people in Dongchang tried their best to find out where is that very poor island!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Jing bowed and retreated, immediately went to arrange manpower, and began to make unannounced visits.

Although this person is young, his mind is extremely meticulous. When it comes to work efficiency, he is definitely top-notch.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to sit in the position of the boss of the East Factory at a young age.

On that day, the elites of Dongchang quickly disguised themselves, and then wandered among the market to find out where the so-called poor island was.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply came to the shipyard again, where at least he could provide some technical support to the craftsmen.

Although he doesn't know how to build a ship, but, as the saying goes, has he never eaten pork or seen a pig running?
In later generations, I have seen all the videos of aircraft carriers, and it is not easy to make some suggestions for ironclad ships!
At least, the advanced concepts in his mind will greatly inspire the craftsmen of the shipyard and support them to continue their research.

The day of the next sea trial is getting closer and closer, and various preparations are being carried out intensely.

The fully repaired ironclad ship was launched again. This time, the fuel tank was fully loaded, and the only thing I wanted was to see how the endurance was.
-
Wynn's undercover career is still going on, but the way everyone looks at him has changed.

For this reason, he didn't bother to explain.

Anyway, it's just to investigate a case, and I won't be here for long, so take a look at it as you like!

Wang Fusheng didn't know what happened, he just felt the way everyone looked at him...why was it weird?

It was a look of curiosity and sympathy.

In the following days, Wynn mentioned the very poor island intentionally or unintentionally, but Wang Fusheng didn't respond. It seemed that he had forgotten all about that night.

Wynn couldn't help thinking to himself, what's going on with this guy, does he have to have another drink to remind him of something?
However, when he invited everyone to drink again, no one came.

Everyone either has a wife who is about to give birth, or has a stomachache, anyway, for various reasons.

Only Wang Fusheng agreed, but was dragged away by Zhang Laoliu.

Wynn was very helpless. These people began to alienate themselves, and it was even harder to inquire about the news.

Or... just stop pretending?
I am the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, the boss of the boss of Dongchang, you have to recruit today, and you have to recruit if you don’t recruit!
Just when he was considering whether to reveal his identity, the opportunity came!

On this day, Cao Dejin received a group of foreigners.

Cao's house is very big. The first entry is for servants and boatmen, and Wynn lives here.

The second entrance is the living room, and the third entrance is the bedroom and the female relatives.

Therefore, Wynn could see clearly when those foreigners entered the door.

It's just that he doesn't know if these people are the masterminds, and he doesn't dare to act rashly for the time being.

The blueprint of the ironclad ship must not be leaked, if you want to take action, you must catch them all, otherwise, there will be endless troubles!
These foreigners and Cao Dejin were old acquaintances, and soon reached an agreement to transport a cargo to sea.

This time, Wynn became the accountant of the ship.

As for where it will be transported, it is not clear yet, only the boss of the ship knows.

Huai En is not in a hurry, first find an opportunity to spread the information, and tell Xiao Jing to take a boat and follow him from a distance, and he will surely find the lair of foreigners.

For some reason, when Zhang Laoliu and the others learned that Wynn was going to arrive with the boat, they chose by coincidence... Stomach ache!

Wang Fusheng was willing to go with the boat, but that night, he was beaten so badly that his stomach hurt.

"Fusheng, don't blame Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother did this for your own good!"

"For my own good...you beat me for my own good?"

"This...you don't understand..."

"Zhang Lao Liu, I will fight with you!"
-
"Report to the emperor, everything is ready, and the sea trial can begin tomorrow morning!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said: "This ship is a symbol of Ming's entry into the steam age. Let everyone go and have a look, and pass on my will. All officials above the fourth rank and above in Zhejiang Province and Ningbo Mansion are required to participate. !"

"Yes!"

Jin Ying agreed, but did not leave in a hurry, but said: "Your Majesty, please give this ship a name!"

Only then did Zhu Qizhen realize that this ship...has no name yet!

Everyone in the world knows it as the Ironclad Ship, as if these three words have become its name.

If it is used as a ship name alone, the three words "ironclad ship" are indeed very good.

Think about it, wrapped in iron armor, how domineering!

However, when the second ironclad ship comes out, what should it be called?

should have a name...

Zhu Qizhen thought carefully, then raised his head and said, "It's called Zheng He!"

Jin Ying was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was overjoyed.

"Slaves, let's get ready!"

He originally thought that the emperor would give him a high-ranking name, for example, Jiaolong, Xuanwu, Grand General, etc., but Zheng He...

The former eunuch of the Three Treasures made seven voyages to the West and made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty.

Even so, his identity is still a eunuch.

Eunuchs have no heirs, no incense, and will soon be forgotten by the world.

If the emperor hadn't built the Martyr's Shrine and recognized Zheng He as a minister of meritorious service, few people have mentioned this person again to this day.

In the future, there may be fewer, or even disappear completely.

The name Zheng He can only be left in the history books, and he has a long journey to the West.

That's it!

However, the emperor bestowed his name on Daming's first ironclad ship, giving the name Zheng He a new life.

What does this mean?
As long as people who have made contributions to Daming, no matter what their status is, the emperor will remember them in their hearts.

Zheng He is like this, who knows... what will happen to him in the future?

Is it possible that a certain ironclad ship in the future will hang the three characters "Jinying"?
