"What did you say?" Chen Yucheng turned his head to look at the woman in front of him.

When he finished his work in Wangcheng and came home from work, he heard news that surprised him.

His eighteen-year-old DD, Chen Yucheng, is ready to follow the merchant fleet to Taiwan and enroll in the Southeast Naval Academy!

Chen Yucheng was born to Chen Guangsheng's wife, Chen Yu is really a concubine, but Chen Yucheng and him are two brothers, and the relationship is very good.

Chen Yuzhen's mother came to Chen Yucheng crying and asked him to come forward to stop DD from coming nonsense.

"What did my father say?" Chen Yucheng asked.

"The master said let him go!" Chen Yuzhen's mother cried: "If he has anything long and two short, what can I do!" ”

The status of concubines in the old society was low, and if the lord died, the wife could even sell the lord's concubine!

Mother is more expensive than son, with Chen Yuzhen here, no one dares to touch his mother, she naturally doesn't want him to have any accidents.

And Chen Yucheng was reluctant to let him go out to study far away, and he studied in the navy!

Begging for life at sea, Chen Yucheng is a person who has come over, and he knows what is going on, the wind and waves are unpredictable, and it is difficult for anyone to keep safe.

He persuaded his mother to leave, and then went to Chen Yuzhen's room, knocked on the door, and Chen Yuzhen opened the door.

Chen Yuzhen is taller than Chen Yucheng, with a strong physique like an ox and slightly dark skin, he is different from his brother, his brother learns literature, he practices martial arts, worships many masters, and has a little kung fu in his hands.

"Yuzhen, I heard that you are going to join the navy of the Southeast Mansion?" Chen Yucheng asked.

"Brother, yes!" Chen Yuzhen turned around and said impatiently: "If you are here to persuade me, you don't need to say more, I have made up my mind!" ”

Without waiting for Chen Yucheng to say anything, Chen Yuzhen poured out the water in one go: "I am married, my wife has just given birth to a boy, and I have fulfilled my obligations to the family!" ”

"I don't want to be a slave to white people anymore, I don't want to look in their eyes, I don't want to pay four times as much taxes, I ...... I've had enough! He said to Chen Yucheng angrily: "Not only me, but also Lin Ankang, Chen Hu, and Zhang Sijie, we agreed to go together, go to Taiwan, and join the army!" ”

His eyes lit up, and Chen Yucheng knew that the names he mentioned were all his friends, and they were also the children of the upper class of Chinese businessmen in Luzon.

So Chen Yucheng said: "I'm not here to persuade you, I'm here to give you advice!" ”

"What?" Chen Yuzhen turned back to face him and asked in surprise.

"You go to Taiwan and take the exam, what if you can't pass it?" Chen Yucheng said: "Do you want to be admitted for sure? ”

"Oh, brother, what tricks do you have? Say it quickly. Chen Yuzhen asked anxiously.

"You go and talk to Lin Ankang, Chen Hu, and Zhang Sijie, and ask them to encourage their parents to donate money to the Southeast Fleet!"

"Donating money?"

"Yes, donate money, this is the sponsorship fee, this is a huge sponsorship fee, anyone will look at you differently!" Chen Yucheng continued: "The fathers have paved a way for you, and the next thing is to rely on your efforts!" ”

"As for the reason, it's a sentence of 'don't put your eggs in one basket', and tell the elders that they will understand!"

"On our side, I'll go and tell my father, don't worry!" Chen Yucheng patted DD's shoulder and said, "If you are so strong, you will definitely be thrown into the ground in the future, I am waiting to see you drive the battleship back to visit your father and brother!" ”

Chen Yuzhen said movingly: "Brother, you are so good to me!" ”

"One world, two brothers, I am not good to you, who else will be good! Go for it! ”

"Yes, thank you, brother!"

……

Chen Yucheng said that he would do it, went to see his father, and told Chen Guangsheng his thoughts, Chen Guangsheng said very pleasedly: "Yesterday I said that you were frizzy, and today it seems that your ideas are very good!" ”

"Don't put your eggs in one basket, this basket depends on what kind of basket it is!" Chen Guangsheng said calmly: "Your father is not eating, he has found many people, and has repeatedly asked about the situation in the Southeast Mansion, their leader Yan Changwu is very young, but extremely promising!" The southeast province is thriving under his rule! What they wrote on a warship, it's not excessive! “

Chen Guangsheng did not visit the southeast warship, but he knew the situation well.

"This basket is definitely worth putting eggs!" Chen Guangsheng is categorical.

"Ginger is still old and spicy! That's why my father said let him go! Chen Yucheng said softly.

"That's right! I got on the boat at the age of eight to make a living, you started running when you were ten years old, and he is now eighteen years old and has not participated in a single voyage! It's not necessarily a good thing that we protect him well!

The so-called wealth and danger are sought, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, fortunately, he also has a child, you wait for him to set off, care more about his younger siblings and your nephew, the treatment must be generous! Chen Guangsheng explained to his son.

"Yes, Father!"

"As for me, just sell him an old face!" Chen Guangsheng laughed.

……

In Chen Guangsheng's secret series, he came forward, and it was invincible.

……

The natives who were monitoring the three ships in the southeast opened their eyes wide and tried to find evidence that the Chinese businessmen in Manila had colluded with the southeast navy in order to convict the Chinese businessmen, but to no avail.

But apparently, their IQ was too poor to count, and they didn't find that one more of the more than a dozen officers and men who went up to buy vegetables on the warship came back......

In the captain's cabin, Officer Hong Xiguan met with Chen Guangsheng, a butler in a small soldier costume, who brought information to the envoy about the upper echelons of Chinese businessmen in Manila.

The entire Chinese merchant class is willing to donate 1 million Spanish silver dollars for the great cause of the Southeast Province! (Worth 600,000 taels of silver, that is, four third-class battleships)

They said that they would do what they could in the future, and they also promised that they would rise up and respond when the Southeast Military Government needed and had the need! (This is a subtle, very Chinese language)

There is another small thing: the children of the upper class of Chinese businessmen in Manila want to go to the Southeast Province to enroll in the Naval Academy, and they want to ask Special Envoy Hong to take care of it!

……

On behalf of the Southeast Province, Hong Xiguan expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Chinese businessmen in Manila for their sponsorship, praised the Chinese businessmen's dedication to service, and believed that the cooperation between the two sides will surely have a bright future for Luzon in the future.

As for the children wanting to go to military school, a trivial matter is wrapped up in him.

Give the list, and everyone is exempt from the entrance examination!

However, Hong Xiguan still said ugly things in front, military schools have an elimination rate, and no one can say anything about entering a military academy, it depends on performance, once you fail, there is no way to drop out, after all, what the army needs is an officer who can go into battle and win.

However, Hong Xiguan also said that even if he could not continue to study at the military academy, he could still study at the newly opened administrative college, and it was a good thing to engage in politics.

Therefore, the Chinese businessmen paved a good road for the children, and there were at least two chances.

Both parties were satisfied, and agreed to further negotiate the delivery of the silver dollar and the departure of the children to Taiwan.

……

After the housekeeper left, there was a big dispute between the three envoys, Hong Xiguan, Yan Zhang, and Hao Sizhong.
