Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1632
"That's right, I've grown taller, and my eyes are much stronger."

Chu Yun saw his eldest son in Whitehall Palace. Linger, he had already changed out of his navy uniform, and then put on a formal dress.

Before Ling'er had been taken care of by several women, Chu Yun was afraid that his son would become weak and rouge, so he specially asked him to participate in the dangerous voyage around the world and practice in the wind and rain.

Sailing on the dangerous sea, dealing with natives, colonists, storms, and diseases is a rare test for the will of ordinary people.

"Father, mother, Erniang, and Xiaoniang." Ling'er found that not only his parents, but also Da Yuer and Sophia were there.

"And me." Ling Xue'er walked over, "Brother, where have you been?"

"Ocean, it's very wide there. By the way, I'm in a place called Brazil. The people there gave me a piece of amber. I'll give it to you." Ling'er took out a piece of light yellow amber and handed it to her younger sister. .

Ling Xueer has never seen such a rare thing as worm amber, she was very excited after receiving amber.

This little guy knows how to flirt with girls at such a young age, and I don't know how many daughter-in-laws he will have in the future.

Chu Yun thought to himself.Now China is expanding and needs more people. It is estimated that the wife and concubine system will be abolished in the future. This is an inevitable trend of historical development.

"Ling'er, do you still remember me?" Sophia squatted down and said to Ling'er.

"Of course Ling'er remembers my little lady, but I don't have any presents, I hope my little lady will not be offended." Ling'er replied.

"Haha, just remember my little girl. This is your younger brother, Xiner. I need you to take care of me in the future." Sophia pushed Prince Henry over.

Prince Henry was much younger than Ling'er. He looked at his elder brother who was much taller than himself cautiously, and still didn't understand the complicated relationship between them.

"Brother Xin'er?" Ling'er scratched her head, "If I knew I would ask them for more ambers in Brazil, I would give one to my brother then."

"There is no need to give anything, as long as you can come back safely." Sophia said.

"You guys talk about the past first, I need to appease the sailors sailing around the world," Chu Yun said.

"You go." Ella helped Ling'er tidy up her clothes, "Isn't this the duty?"

Chu Yun did not meet Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Chenggong at the English Whitehall Palace. After all, this is the territory of the English. If he meets his subordinates at the Whitehall Palace, the members of the English Parliament will be dissatisfied.

Chu Yun chose the shop set up by Huaxia merchants to meet Zheng Zhihu and others who led the global fleet.And Zheng Chenggong, who parted ways in the capital, followed behind Zheng Zhihu.

Unknowingly, Zheng Chenggong also grew from a little boy to a qualified naval soldier.

The Zheng family has a lot of power in the Ministry of the Navy. In the next generation, Zheng Chenggong may become an important figure in the Ministry of the Navy.

But even if Zheng Chenggong goes up at that time, the three brothers Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, and Zheng Zhibao will also step down at that time, and the power of the Zheng family will be weakened. After all, the second generation can't be like what it is now. Three brothers all hold important positions in the Ministry of the Navy.

"Your voyage around the world is progressing well, have you seen the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in America along the way?" Chu Yun asked.

"Yes, the Spaniards occupied central America, Peru and other places, while the Portuguese occupied Brazil. Through this voyage, we are basically familiar with the routes along the coast of the Americas. We have carried out simple surveying and mapping of the coastline of the Americas, which will be given to the follow-up It will bring convenience to the navigation. It will be easy to attack these colonies in the Americas in the future." Zheng Zhihu reported to Chu Yun.

"The plan to conquer the Americas does not need to be too anxious. You should know that it takes a long time to assimilate a place. It is easy to annex a piece of land with ten times the land, but it is very difficult to annex ten times the land with one piece of land. The safer way is Establish strongholds on various continents, and then gradually erode them." Chu Yun said.

"Then should we continue to complete the remaining half of the voyage?" Zheng Zhihu asked.

"Wait a minute, we will soon send a fleet into the Mediterranean to expedition to Constantinople. It happens that we are short of manpower in the Western Ocean and need a group of sailors as a reserve team. Many people in the circumnavigation fleet are naval soldiers , you temporarily send some people to participate in this expedition, as for ordinary scientific research personnel, there is no need to participate." Chu Yun said.

"Expedition to Constantinople?!" Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Chenggong knew the location of Constantinople, but they had just arrived in London, so they had no idea that Chu Yun had such an ambition.

"What? Can't you be qualified for the task of the reserve team?" Chu Yun asked.

"No, our sailors participating in the global voyage fleet have not neglected training, even if they serve as vanguards, there is no problem." Zheng Zhihu patted his chest and said.

"I gave the order that the Global Expedition Fleet will temporarily stay in London, and all the crew members of the Admiralty will participate in the expedition to Constantinople as a reserve team," Chu Yun said.

"My lord, the cadets of our Navy Lecture Hall are also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Navy, can they also participate in this expedition?" Zheng Chenggong saw that Chu Yun did not mention their group of naval cadets.

"Navy Lecture Hall?" Chu Yun looked at Zheng Chenggong, and found that he really hadn't considered the existence of such a group of naval students, who happened to be between formal naval soldiers and naval students.

"Are you really ready to go to the battlefield? The naval lecture hall set up by the empire has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to train you, not to use you as cannon fodder. The students who come out of the naval lecture hall will serve as various fleets in the future. Officer." Chu Yun said.

"We cadets fought in the West Indies to help the English take the Spanish colonies, and others died for it. We have seen one battle, and we are ready to fight the next one. " Zheng Chenggong said firmly.

Chu Yun thought about it in his mind, if there is any loss in letting the precious naval lecture hall students participate in the war, it will damage a group of talents cultivated since childhood, but it will be difficult for them to really grow up if they do not experience war.

"Okay, I allow the students of this session of your Navy Lecture Hall to participate in the expedition to Constantinople. But you are organized as a reserve team, you cannot rush to the forefront, and you need to strictly obey the command." Chu Yun Said.

"Of order, the students of our Navy Lecture Hall will not disappoint you!" Zheng Chenggong replied.

"My lord, do you want to personally participate in this expedition?" Zheng Zhihu asked.

"I'm still thinking about it, maybe I will go out in person." Chu Yun replied.
