Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1597 1643 AD

In 1643 AD, at this time, it has been 16 or 17 years since Chu Yun traveled to this world, and the Eastern Empire has been established for ten years.The so-called empire is not a country with a monarchy in the narrow sense, but a country with a strong national power in a broad sense.

As the founder of this empire, Chu Yun actually has unimaginable authority.

The Military Lord's Mansion, one of the highest sources of imperial decrees.

A child about 10 years old, no, it should be a teenager, put on the costume of a naval intern.

"Father, am I really going to sail around the world?" The boy looked timidly at his majestic father.

"To become an iron-blooded man, one must go to conquer the sea."

Chu Yun looked at this son, he had been growing up in the military lord's mansion, surrounded by mostly women, lacking masculinity.So a long time ago, Chu Yun planned to let him go to the sea to experience 10 to 2 years when he was 3 years old, so as to cultivate his fortitude instead of a weak scholar.

"Daddy, where is brother going?" A little girl carved in pink and jade was sitting next to Da Yu'er, holding chopsticks that were a bit exaggerated for her in her small hands, and she looked at Chu Yun with flexible eyes.

"The sea is wider than the land. The world is round. As long as you sail around the sea, you can return to the original place." Chu Yun said.

"How big is the world?" Chu Xueer asked.

Chu Yun was overwhelmed by the question for a while, how should he explain so that his daughter can understand the size of the world.

"The capital we are in is like a grain of rice, and the world is this bowl." Da Yu'er came out to help Chu Yun explain to Xue'er at this time.

Chu Xueer nodded with a half understanding.

"My lord, there are many ways to train Ling'er. In addition to the sea, you can also send him to the army barracks or go to the martial arts hall to receive short military training. Sailing around the world is too dangerous. Diseases, natives and storms at sea say It might be a fatal threat." Da Yuer persuaded.

"This round-the-world voyage is an expedition jointly initiated by the Ministry of the Navy and the Imperial University. It is of great significance. Everyone is risking their lives, and Ling'er is no exception. But I will ask a few people to help take care of him." Chu Yun said.

The Admiralty has better food sealing technology, which should be able to reduce the possibility of scurvy, followed by the threat of rocks and storms, which are beyond Chu Yun's control.

Ling'er obviously hasn't grown up yet, he is full of fear of the unknown sea.

But since it was Chu Yun's decision, he could only obey.

After finishing the meal, Aila, Da Yuer, Xiao Xiuer and others helped him pack the package, and Chu Yun and others sent him outside the residence.

And there are a few in the Navy Department outside who are also wearing the costumes of naval interns. Compared with the boy scout-like Ling'er, they are the real naval interns.

When they saw Chu Yun and others coming, they immediately straightened up.

A young man about 18 or 19 years old said to Chu Yun: "My lord, the prospective graduates of the Navy Lecture Hall report to you!"

"Zheng Chenggong, Ling'er will be left to you. Be sure to protect his safety...and don't reveal his identity." Chu Yun said to him.

"Please leave it to me, I will absolutely guarantee his safety!" Zheng Chenggong said with burning eyes.

Chu Yun nodded in satisfaction.

When Zheng Chenggong was still a child, Chu Yun changed his name to Zheng Chenggong. The Zheng family also provided a lot of talents for the Ministry of the Navy.

The round-the-world voyage just happened to be the naval lecturers of their current class for maritime practice, so the Admiralty sent them to participate in the round-the-world voyage, and after completing the round-the-world voyage, they returned here again. They are the reserve officers of the Admiralty.

"Ling'er, you have to listen to the big brothers and don't cause trouble on the way." Aila helped Ling'er tidy up her clothes in the end, her tone full of doting.

Let her 10-year-old son participate in the circumnavigation that even sailors are afraid of. She agrees with Chu Yun's approach, but also fears that she will lose her only son.

"Mother, I will come back safely!" Ling'er was not timid in front of outsiders.

His father created such a great empire single-handedly, and he also knew his father's identity, so he couldn't lose face in front of the students in the navy lecture hall.

"Brother Ling'er, you don't have to worry. Our Admiralty has already made a detailed plan for this voyage. There are many bases along the way where you can get supplies." Zheng Chenggong and other naval students are very enthusiastic about Ling'er. The son of the military lord, he is able to participate in circumnavigation, and maybe he will be more inclined to the construction of the Admiralty in the future.

"Then let's go." Zheng Chenggong said goodbye to Chu Yun and the others. He also saw Da Yuer's elder sister whom he had met in Dongying when he was a child, but Da Yuer was already accompanied by a little girl.

"Take care," Chu Yun said.

"Father, mother, I won't embarrass you!" Ling'er waved at Chu Yun and the others before leaving.

Yu Cheng, the captain of the guard, saw that Chu Yun had really entrusted his son to the Ministry of the Navy for a global voyage, and couldn't help but be amazed at Chu Yun's courage.

As Ling'er, even if he just does nothing in the future, he will be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life. However, in order to cultivate his son's so-called blood spirit, Chu Yun directly sent him to the vast sea.It takes extraordinary courage to make such a decision.

"Zheng Chenggong, when I saw him in Yokohama before, he was just a kid who was clamoring to be an admiral all day long. I didn't expect to grow up so soon, and he was about to graduate from the Naval Academy. Maybe he can really become an admiral in the future. Admiral." After seeing Zheng Chenggong leave, Da Yuer seemed to think of the days when she was a staff member in the Tokyo branch.

"They are the second and third generations of the future empire." Chu Yun said, "Their voyage around the world will start from the capital, travel in the opposite direction, pass through Dongpu, and go to explore the Bering Strait where no ships have ever set foot. , and then via North America, South America, and then to Europe."

"Should we also prepare to visit Europe?" Ella is still very interested in going to Europe in this era.

"I will make the final arrangements, and I can go to Europe after everything is in place." Chu Yun also wanted to go to Europe to see his youngest son, who had never met, and he built the East well, so how could he not go to the West to bully him? What are those countries?
"The speed of taking the traditional Maritime Silk Road from here to Europe should be much faster than the speed of the global fleet arriving in Europe from the Americas. I guess we will come first and wait for Ling'er and the others to join us in Europe."

After Chu Yun spent two or three years strengthening the empire again, he was finally ready to go to Europe.
