Chapter 800 The world is impermanent and unpredictable (first update, please subscribe)
In front of the customs channel, bustling people lined up in a long line. These people from the hometown of China were full of anticipation. From the moment they set foot on the land of Ming Dynasty, they were full of yearning for the future.

In the customs channel, they reported their hometown and name one by one.They were male and female, older and younger.

"Nation."

Hearing what the official said, the boy replied nervously.

"Cuiheng Village, Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province."

"Name."

"My surname is Sun, and my name is Wen."

Because the official language is not very fluent, the boy emphasized it twice again, and he was relieved until he confirmed that he had written it correctly. Just when he was registering in the No. 3 passage, the passage next to the Hanjiao Criteria Station reported him. name.

"My surname is Song, and my first name is Jiashu."

Because of the similar age of the two people, when passing through the gate, they looked at each other through the iron fence, and the two smiled at each other. They hadn't seen their peers for a long time.

"My name is Song Jiashu, what about you?"

"My name is Sun Wen."

"I'm from Wenchang, Guangdong, and Wenchang is on Hainan Island."

"Ah, my hometown, I am also from Cantonese, from Xiangshan, Guangdong."

The two of them chatted as they walked. Their destination was the same, which was a new immigrant isolation camp.

For these young children, they don't need months of "education" after leaving the isolation camp like their parents.

These teenagers will enter boarding schools to receive compulsory education, and they need to receive at least four years of elementary school education, which is the law of Ming Dynasty.Of course, this does not separate them from each other. After a few months of labor, their children will be sent to study in the area where they work.

Song Jiashu's uncle was definitely not happy about this. After all, he brought his nephew here to earn money, but he never thought that Song Jiashu would go to school because of his age.

Half a month later, when Song Jiashu, Sun Wen, and hundreds of children in the camp were sent to the boarding school, Song Yukun naturally complained in various ways, complaining that the Ming government was brutal and separated people's flesh and blood, but that was all.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

When Song Jiashu and Sun Wen sat in the same big carriage and went to the boarding school, the two chatted for the whole time.

Life is always so magical sometimes.

……

Fate in life is sometimes so miraculous, at least for Ding Ruchang, the admiral of the Beiyang Navy, at least ten years ago, he never thought that one day he would personally command a warship across the Pacific Ocean to Linhai.

When the cruiser "Jianwei" under his command was about to sail into Linhai Bay, he specially ordered the dragon flag to be lowered, and then sailed into Linhai Bay with the sound of gun salute, and then started his journey to Ming Dynasty.

In another world, the establishment of the Beiyang Navy will have to wait for a few more years, but under the flapping of butterfly wings——stimulated by the Heavenly Kingdom Navy, the Beiyang Navy has been established as early as ten years ago, but it is limited At that time, except for a dozen "mosquito gun boats" bought at a large price from Nanhua, the remaining few warships were all iron-ribbed wood-hull gun boats.Although the "Jianwei" cruiser has long lagged behind the times, this expedition also proved that the Beiyang Navy's navigation skills are still good.

However, Ding Ruchang couldn't help sighing that there were ironclad warships on the berths of the Haiwan Navy Pier.

"After Japan was merged into Ming Dynasty, some people in the DPRK and China said that they needed to strengthen the coastal defense to prevent the Ming Dynasty from invading, but the Ming Dynasty Navy can sweep all the navy of the Qing Dynasty even with a "Lin Hai"..."

The reason why Ding Ruchang said this is because when he was passing through Japan, no, it should be said to be Dongying, he had visited the flagship "Linhai" of the Daming Asian Fleet. While being amazed at its strength, he is now in the Pacific Ocean Fleet base, the shock he felt can be imagined.

"Today I finally understand why even the British can only give in silently when facing Daming!"

The cruiser "Yangwei" led Sun Xingtian to stare at the "Zhenyuan" not far away, with a solemn expression full of longing.Unlike most Beiyang naval officers who graduated from the Naval Academy in history, the Haizhou Naval Academy, founded in 1865, has trained a large number of talents for the Beiyang Navy in the past ten years, and Sun Xingtian is the earliest one. batch of graduates.

"Not to mention anything else, just relying on this 12-inch cannon is enough to shock the West!"

It is not known whether Xiyang was shocked, but for the visiting Beiyang sailors, when they boarded the "Zhenyuan", they were excited.

Iron-clad giant ships, twelve-inch cannons...

Everything they have never seen, unheard of.

"...This is the 12-inch main gun used by the Zhenyuan, all with a 32-fold barrel. This is the 12-inch naval gun with the longest barrel, the most powerful, and the longest range in the world at present..."

When introducing the "Zhenyuan" to the visiting Beiyang officers and soldiers, Tohachiro's expression was full of unconcealable pride.

These Qing sailors must have never seen such an iron-clad giant ship!Daming not only has the "Nanhua class" but also the more powerful "Youzhou class".It's a pity that you came too early. If you are a few years later, you will be able to see the "Youzhou class" if you don't guarantee it.

"And these warships were all built by Daming's shipyard..."

The seemingly inadvertent sentence shocked the hearts of all the visiting naval officers and soldiers. It is conceivable that the impact of hearing and witnessing on the soul is conceivable.

"This is "Zhenyuan"!"

Standing on the "Zhenyuan" battleship, while Ding Ruchang sighed, Shen Yaozu, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, asked with a smile.

"Admiral Ding, how do you feel about this trip?"

Facing Shen Yaozu's question, Ding Ruchang thought for a while, and then said.

"Commander Shen, the Ming Dynasty's navy is far stronger than we imagined. At this time, Lord Zhongtang sent Ding here not only to test our navigation skills, but also to discuss naval cooperation with you,"

Why did Ding Ruchang come here?
On the surface it was for training, but in reality?

It is for cooperation. This kind of cooperation is not just for the navy. There is another person on the "Yangwei"——Zhou Fu. He is Li Zhongtang's confidant who has followed Li Zhongtang for the longest time. In order to win Daming's support.

When Ding Ruchang set foot on the "Zhenyuan", Zhou Fu and others had already disembarked and took the train to Yingtian. Like many people, they were dressed in western clothes and hid their braids in their hats. They looked like ordinary Ming people. It doesn't make a difference either.

However, along the way, they felt like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and the impact they felt was unprecedented...
