Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1416 Sent to the sea

"The intelligence office learned from the Dutch people that Li Jinde was kidnapped by Barbary pirates and taken to Algiers. The Fourth Fleet and the British Navy entered the Mediterranean Sea for rescue..."

When Chu Yun received the news from the staff of the Intelligence Department stationed in London, it had been a long time since this incident happened. After all, there are three oceans between the East and the West, and the news can only be conveyed by merchant ships, and the itinerary is not easy to calculate. When there is no wind, merchant ships cannot travel for several days.In the worst case, the merchant ship on which the intelligence personnel were traveling sank in a storm, so the same important news often required two or three groups of intelligence personnel to return by boat.

When the intelligence personnel returned to the capital from London with the "latest" news, the news had lagged for a long time.

Chu Yun only knew that the Fourth Fleet took the Royal Navy to the Mediterranean to encircle the Barbary pirates, but he didn't know anything about what happened afterwards.

"Is the Fourth Fleet's approach inappropriate? If Li Jinde can be redeemed through negotiations, it shouldn't cost too much. If you take the initiative to encircle and suppress the pirates, I am afraid that the pirates will tear up their tickets and consume a lot of military supplies. Goods. It costs a lot to transport military supplies from our homeland to Europe." Aila said to Chu Yun on the way home.

"There is no absolute choice in this matter. It cannot be said that it is wrong to use strength against pirates or actively show weakness. It depends on how they adapt."

When Chu Yun heard about this for the first time, he also felt a little unbelievable. He should not have had much contact with the Barbary pirates, so why did they take the initiative to hit the gun?

"Should I inform Sarina about finding Li Jinde? She has been concerned about Li Jinde's whereabouts." Aila asked.

"Silly girl, please don't do this." Chu Yun said quickly.

"Why?" Ella blinked in confusion.

"You have to think that the information we received happened a long time ago. No one knows whether Li Jinde is still alive or dead. To put it bluntly, if you give Sarina hope now, Li Jinde will If she was kidnapped by pirates or had an accident on the way home, then she would definitely not be able to bear the blow of her hopes being dashed, and you will probably feel guilty for this decision." Chu Yun said.

"Ah, I understand! But it's a pity to hide it from her like this..."

"For the time being, we can only do this. You usually discuss with her more about her daughter... If Li Jindeji has a celestial phenomenon, he may return to the capital in less than a year. Selina suddenly Wouldn't it be double the joy to see Li Jinde come home?"

"My adults are really considerate!"

"Where is it?" Chu Yun couldn't help but blush when he saw Ella's long-lost admiration.

When they returned to the mansion, Da Yuer was already busy arranging the dishes in the backyard, and the youngest daughter Chu Xueer was still in the cradle.And Liu Rushi, who served as Ling'er's tutor in the front yard, was checking Ling'er's homework.What Ling'er is learning now is nothing more than three-character classics in pinyin, literacy, and simple arithmetic. Usually, there are special teachers to teach him, and on weekends, Liu Rushi will review or check what he has learned.

Even Chu Yun, who came from the future, can't help subconsciously hoping that his son will become a dragon. After all, this is the influence of Chinese traditional culture for thousands of years. Who doesn't want their children to learn well?

"Father!" Seeing Chu Yun coming back, Ling'er ignored Liu Rushi's presence and ran out as if seeing a savior.

Although Liu Rushi is undoubtedly a beauty, in the hearts of children, the teacher is the teacher, learning such a painful thing, will not be willing to study obediently just because of who is teaching it.

Chu Yun immediately said with a straight face: "You are a student now, you must know how to respect the teacher, and you must not leave the school without the permission of the teacher. Apologize to the teacher!"

"Father, mother..." Ling'er was scolded by her father, and looked at Ella for help.

"Apologize to sir." Ayla folded her arms on her chest, and she didn't show mercy at all.

A Ming soldier was born, and a British Naval Academy was born. The two have experienced countless life-and-death battles, and they have seen countless iron-blooded soldiers die in front of their eyes. They are very strict with their son.

Ling'er had no choice but to feel wronged and turned back to Liu Rushi who came out and said: "Ling'er knows I was wrong, please forgive me, sir."

"My lord, Ling'er usually behaves very well, but she ran out anxiously when her parents came back and it was time for dinner again." Liu Rushi said.

"You, don't protect him. Children are spoiled like this. Only when they experience a fierce battle on the battlefield can they truly grow up and become a responsible man." Chu Yun said.

Liu Rushi was seen by Chu Yun as intending to protect Ling'er, her pretty face flushed slightly.

"When he is 12 years old, we plan to let him stop his studies for two years and go to the sea to be a midshipman. If he has experienced the hard life at sea and seen the storms on the ocean, maybe he will be more bloody in the future," Ella said. .

"Go to the sea to practice!" Liu Rushi couldn't help exclaiming.

Although she has never experienced sailing at sea, she still has a little knowledge of the hard life of naval soldiers and sailors.

The Admiralty of the Kyushu Army does not fight around the sea and inland rivers. The real drill is to sail to the depths of the sea for more than a month to maintain the quality and fighting spirit of the soldiers!

With the fresh-keeping technology of this era, it is estimated that the original fresh food and fresh water will have been corrupted in one month.Sleeping and bathing in the shaking cabin is also a problem...

Sending a 12-year-old child to the sea for two years, whether he can survive is a question...

"As an ordinary naval cadet." Chu Yun added.

Now Ling'er was finally frightened by her parents, he was just a child, why didn't he seem to be in such a good situation in the future...

"Ling'er is not looking forward to it?" Ella knelt down and said to Ling'er, "Go wash your hands and prepare to eat."

"Hmm..." Ling'er replied, of course he didn't know that when he was 12 years old, he would be sent to the Admiralty, which meant that it would be two years of long life at sea.

"Do you want to stay for dinner?" Chu Yun asked Liu Rushi, a regular customer.

"No, Yuanyuan is still waiting for me at home." Liu Rushi shook her head lightly.

"Among the outstanding students recommended by the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics to the military, the female professor of the School of Mathematics, Agnesi, recommended you. Next, you may have to study harder and become Ling'er's tutor. Zhou can spare two or three hours for a simple inspection." Chu Yun remembered a rather important matter.
