Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1183 The incomparable giant ship

   In the past, the scum of the world was an insulting term.

  But with the rise of the scum of the world, Wang Bushi, it is said that this word has become a symbol of blessing in the hearts of countless crew members.

  Many family members of seafarers even engraved wooden plaques in their homes saying that the scum of the world is not an official, hoping to use this to bless their relatives who sailed to sea.

  These seven characters have become a totem, a kind of spirit. It is the indomitable spirit of all the subjects of Ming Dynasty who resolutely set sail to fight the sea, fight with sea beasts, and spread their footprints all over the world.

  People looked at Wang Bushi enviously.

  Suddenly, there is a kind of scolding that can make a name go down in history. This world is really exciting.

  …

  Now, a new idea rose in everyone's mind.

  This thing, it is so huge, is it... really unsinkable?

  Looking...unreliable.

  Especially a big chimney, standing on the ship, looks like a blink of an eye.

  People raised their binoculars one after another.

  At this time, a large number of carefully selected sailors and crew members were already heading towards the giant ship in sampans.

   They paddled and swayed water ripples on the sea.

  Zhu Houzhao's excited eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "Father, my son is going to board the ship."

  Emperor Hongzhi sank.

   This guy... wants to make trouble again.

However, Zhu Houzhao had a bitter expression on his face: "Please don't worry, father, a search and rescue ship has already been prepared in the vicinity. My son learned to swim a few days ago. Now, it is no longer a problem. Besides, , this steamboat is the painstaking effort of Erchen for several years. In order to build this ship, Erchen searched his stomach every day. He never had a good meal or a good sleep. Father, there is no danger. No matter what, my son will be on this boat..."

  Emperor Hongzhi pondered, silent.

  Fang Jifan also said: "Your Majesty, my son also wants to board the ship."

   "Why?" It was rare for Fang Jifan to open his mouth. In the past, Fang Jifan was chatty, but in recent days, he was always silent. Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little relieved when he saw him speak.

  Fang Jifan said: "This ship was built with nearly ten million taels of silver, and I also want to board the ship, and want to see what it looks like in the sea."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

  He could understand Fang Jifan's feelings. His father died in a foreign land, thousands of miles away.

  Those who are sons of man may just want to board the ship and pay homage to them.

  Although this kid is very strong on the surface, Hongzhi knows that this guy must be very anxious.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: It will take some time for such a big ship to sink. "

   Zhu Houzhao had a headache when he heard the word Shen.

  Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes, facing the sea breeze: "This ship was built by my son and son-in-law, how can I not trust them. Come, I will also board the ship."

   "Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing on the side was terrified, he didn't want to be a guinea pig, if His Majesty boarded the ship, wouldn't he also follow.

  The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can His Majesty's son of a thousand gold put himself in danger.

  Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that if the officials find out, they will definitely..."

  He dared not say that he wanted to dissuade His Majesty, so he simply pulled all the officials out.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a cold face: "Anyone who wants to dissuade them, then board the ship with me to dissuade them. Whatever I do is wrong, but if it suits their wishes, then the Ninth Five-Year Lord is just in the palace. It's just a puppet, if you don't board the ship, how can I know the suffering of the soldiers and the people, I am a real dragon, how can there be a reason for the sea to drown the real dragon."

   It seems very reasonable.

  Although feudal superstition is bad.

  But in this era, even people who don't believe in ghosts and gods, more or less like all kinds of beautiful meanings.

  Emperor Hongzhi issued an order, but Zhu Houzhao was very excited, and asked people to prepare the sampan. Emperor Hongzhi boarded the boat first, and Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan, Xiao Jing and several personal guards also went up one after another.

  Emperor Hongzhi sat in the middle of the sampan, looking chic.

  Fang Jifan sat at the head of the sampan, picked his nose, and looked at the sea and sky in the distance, as if a glance could penetrate to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

  Zhu Houzhao immediately bared his teeth, took out the paddle, directed Xiao Jing and the others, paddled the boatman with a chirping and humming expression, very dissatisfied.

  One family has a sampan, and more than a dozen people work together to row the boat. This is called concerted efforts.

   That's good, why did I get to my place, paddling, the sampan didn't see any movement.

   It's not just the dog Xiao Jing paddling, there are two other people on the sampan who are only responsible for carrying the load, but they are here to eat dry food.

   As a last resort, Zhu Houzhao took off the python robe on his body, exposing his strong biceps, screaming, and swung the oars to paddle desperately.

   On the other side... on the viewing platform, all the officials are praising him and chatting all kinds of gossip.

   I have to say that the scholar-bureaucrats are still very leisurely and chic. Sit here, enjoy the breeze, take a look at the scenery with a telescope, and make a good or bad evaluation. This day will pass.

  But at this time, someone suddenly said: "Your Majesty... Where is Your Majesty, where did you go?"

  Everyone cheered up and picked up binoculars to search.

  Suddenly, someone wailed: "Your Majesty...he got on the sampan and headed towards the giant ship."

   All of a sudden, the happy mood disappeared, and everyone was dumbfounded.

  Your Majesty... What kind of trouble is this going to be?

  Look at it, His Royal Highness and the surname Fang are becoming more and more like human traffickers, and now they are abducting His Majesty, going to the sky and into the sea, doing whatever they want!

  But now...the sampan is gone, and across the sea, everyone can only stamp their feet and scold.

  …

   The sampan approached the giant ship.

   At this time, someone had already lowered the basket on the giant ship.

   Several people got on the basket and were directly hoisted onto the huge ship.

   If you don't get close to this ship, if you are in it, you can't find the majesty of this ship.

  Emperor Hongzhi got on the deck, looked at Wang Yang from here, and found that the scenery was completely different, and his mood also changed accordingly.

  Under the feet, there seemed to be thousands of tides hitting the hull of the boat, but the hull was still motionless, but...Emperor Hongzhi still felt that his feet were a bit swaying.

  A large number of military officers in the ship came one after another, shouting loudly: "The assembly of the sail cabin is complete."

   "The tube wheel cabin has been assembled."

   "Gun bay preparation."

   "The boiler room is ready..."

  Zhu Houzhao couldn't take care of Emperor Hongzhi anymore, and he was jumping happily on the deck. This was made by himself, and it was his own.

  He was on the deck, jumping up happily: "Heavy anchor, heave anchor, let down the sails, prepare to open the furnace, chart, get the chart, follow the designated route, and prepare to go!"

   Sail down.

  The iron anchor is pulled up.

  The ship began to shake.

   Immediately afterwards, there was a low rumbling sound.

  Fang Jifan stared into the distance dumbfounded.

   Boilers are less.

   Immediately afterwards, the chimney began to emit thick smoke.

  The entire hull trembled slightly. It seemed that the transmission system started to move.

   Immediately afterwards, the hull tilted slightly to one side.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale with fright.

  Xiao Jing screamed even more.

  Fang Jifan said calmly: "This is turning..."

  The bottom of the ship is a sharp bottom. At this moment, the huge hull began to cut through the sea water, slowly rolling out waves.

  Zhu Houzhao was tensely in the boiler room, with a large number of manpower constantly replenishing coal.

The hull began to vibrate rumblingly, but soon, the hull began to move, and the speed gradually began to increase. Zhu Houzhao rushed out of the cabin excitedly. Afterwards, he saw the land in Tianjin Port, and he followed himself and began to heal. farther and farther.

  Theory...into reality.

  Facing the sea breeze, Zhu Houzhao almost burst into tears. He uttered a strange cry: "Hahahaha... come, come, a group of dogs, let me move, hahaha..."

  He wildly opened his arms to welcome the sea breeze, just like Jack, the hero of the Titanic.

   Unexpectedly, the soles of his feet were unstable, and he fell directly. He rolled twice on the deck, but stood up as if nothing had happened.

  …

  All the personnel on the ship are already in place, and everyone is performing their duties.

   Although many people have coordinated, there are still some problems.

  But... soon, everyone got used to it.

  …

  On the shore, people watched the big chimney curling up into the sky, and the billowing thick smoke shrouded the ship, leaving a shadow of the ship slowly. People were both shocked and unavoidable, worried.

   "Hurry up, hurry up, escort. Those **** ships, why are they so slow."

  The escorting ship had already set off, but...soon, it was left behind by the steamboat Wang Bushi, the scum of the world.

  …

  Emperor Hongzhi watched the mainland go away, and behind him, several huge fast ships that were getting farther and farther away.

   Soon, those fast boats, even with their sails inflated, became smaller and smaller in front of my eyes, and finally turned into blurred black spots.

  Emperor Hongzhi gasped.

  This ship…

   It was so fast.

   Come and go like the wind.

   In his heart, he was still worried, afraid of something.

  However... this is understandable, people are used to the solid earth under their feet, and on this floating ship, it is inevitable that they will feel uneasy.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really ingenious. In the world, it is possible to have such fantastic ideas, but it is really eye-opening for me to turn such fantastic ideas into reality."

  He pulled Fang Jifan who was in a daze beside him and said, "Come on, Jifan, accompany me to the boiler room to have a look."

   "Oh." Fang Jifan picked out something from his nostril, flicked his nails, and the thing went away with the sea wind.

  Fang Jifan’s kindness seems to be gone with the wind.

  Fang Jifan cheered up, he had to cheer himself up, from today onwards, Fang Jifan is no longer the kind-hearted self he used to be.

  ...

  Thank you for the addition of a classmate 'Xunshule' who is the leader of this book. I would like to pay tribute here. Also, the monthly pass is urgent, and I am crying for the monthly pass.
