Blue sky, sea, huge artillery, spacious decks, high-speed battleships.

All of this is a great attraction for children, especially for little boys, it is a huge playground.

Zheng Chenggong was really happy, he had only seen others on a boat for so long in Hirado City, and he had never been on a boat before, this ride was still a super ship that he had never seen before, how could he not be overjoyed.

He was running on the deck, looking curiously at the bow cannon, and then on the roof of the third deck to look down on the crowds of wheels below.

Ever since the Tagawa clan took him out to let him out, he hasn't been idle.

Tagawa didn't dare to go up to the top of the third deck to disturb Zhang Bin, but he just carried his little son around on the first deck, and screamed a little Nanazaemon in a hurry, just wanting to run around with his brother, how could Tagawa rest assured that his little baby was running around on the boat, so he could only coax him vigorously, just not letting him go to the ground.

Zhang Bin was also thinking about coaxing children at this time, of course, he didn't want to coax Xiaoqizaemon, but wanted to coax Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong is quite important to him, because in his military planning, the sailor is the most important piece, and at the same time, in his economic planning, Dongshengtang is also the core of the core, and Zheng Zhilong is the second person after him in both aspects.

Zheng Zhilong is not a very good deputy, because he has the habits of a merchant and a pirate, to put it bluntly, he is a bit mercenary, in history he stupidly surrendered to Mites, and as a result, the whole family, except for Zheng Chenggong's vein, was killed by Mites!

It's better to replace this kind of pig teammate who has a possible convulsion, and if he suddenly has a convulsion one day, thinking that selling himself to Chongzhen or Huang Taiji is more promising, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong must be replaced by Zheng Zhilong to eliminate this hidden danger, and Zheng Chenggong must be consistent with his own ideas.

Education is naturally best started when you are a child, Zheng Chenggong or Zheng Sen, you have to start from now on, coax well.

Coaxing a child is actually very simple, Zhang Bin took out the binoculars directly from his arms, beckoned to Zheng Chenggong and said, "Sen'er, come, show you something good." ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he immediately ran over and said excitedly: "Uncle, what is a good thing?" ”

Zhang Bin directly put the telescope on his right eye, and then slowly moved to a wheel in the distance.

"Wow", Zheng Chenggong looked away at the wheel in disbelief, and then leaned over the telescope to look at it, tried it several times, and finally confirmed that this thing can really pull the distant scene in front of him.

Zhang Bin carefully taught him how to change the focal length again, and Zheng Chenggong immediately took the telescope and looked around.

This thing is so funny, he can't even bear to let go.

Zhang Bin coaxed again: "Sen'er, how about letting them change their formation?" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded again and again: "Okay, good." ”

Zhang Bin immediately ordered: "Order, turn into a circular defensive array." ”

With a wave of the flag, all the wheels immediately began to change formation, and in a short time they became a large circle.

Zheng Chenggong glanced excitedly with the binoculars, not to mention how happy he was.

After he almost glanced around, Zhang Bin ordered again: "Order, turn into a fish scale array." ”

With a wave of the flag, all the wheels began to change their formations again, and after a while, they lined up in a semi-circular arc, looking like fish scales that had been magnified countless times.

Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's time to practice the formation, Zhang Bin kept ordering the fleet to change the formation, and Zheng Chenggong was dizzying and amazed.

After playing in the boat formation for a long time, Zhang Bin accompanied their mother and son to dinner, and then took Zheng Chenggong to the top of the third-floor cabin, and then ordered: "Order, Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru will take their guards to practice the mandarin duck formation on the deck." ”

The herald immediately ran down, and after a while, Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru led their twenty teams of guards to practice the mandarin duck formation on the deck, and Zheng Chenggong saw him dancing with his hands.

In the next two days, Zhang Bin asked people to practice knife skills, marksmanship, combat and other things for Zheng Chenggong to see, and even made the Weiyuan super battleship come with two rounds of sideside salvos, blasting out rows and rows of skyrocketing water columns on the sea, and Zheng Chenggong almost slapped his slap red.

Dongying has only been in Dongfan for a total of three days, Zheng Chenggong has become Zhang Bin's little follower, following Zhang Bin every day, watching Zhang Bin command various exercises, and a little star almost pops up in his eyes.

Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, the fleet passed through the castle of Geranza and entered the inland sea of the Taijiang River, Zhang Bin looked at the neat warships in the front row with a telescope, and then handed the telescope to Zheng Chenggong, tempting: "Sen'er, do you want to be a general when you grow up in the future, command thousands of troops and horses, and command a huge fleet to fight in all directions?" ”

Zheng Chenggong skillfully glanced at the dense warships in front of him, then put down the binoculars, nodded desperately, and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Zhang Bin continued to tempt: "Okay, you study hard with your uncle, learn the art of war hard, and when you grow up, your uncle will give you a general, to command thousands of troops and horses, to command a huge fleet, how about it?" ”

Zheng Chenggong naturally nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, okay." ”

This should be almost coaxed, and the next step is to take it under his own disciple, and this disciple must be accepted, and he must teach well.

The warship that came to greet him was naturally lined up by Zheng Zhilong, this era is quite important to his descendants or successors, although Zheng Zhilong has accepted a few concubines at this time, but he has not given birth to a son, only the Tian Chuan clan gave birth to two sons for him, but he has been under house arrest in Dongying, and it is not easy to take it back at this time, he is naturally so excited that he can't do it.

If it weren't for the fact that the cruisers and battleships were taller than other warships, and it was inconvenient to pick up the ship, he even wanted to board the ship directly to meet him, even if he couldn't board the ship, he would have discharged all the more than 300 battleships under his command, and lined up neatly on both sides of Dayuan Port, as if to welcome Zhang Bin, in fact, just to show off in front of his son.

Zhang Bin directly led the fleet through the dense warships and came to the port wharf, where Zheng Zhilong held a telescope and watched for a long time.

Finally, the Zhenyuan cruiser approached the dock, and Zheng Zhilong immediately led a group of generals to hug him, that eager, if he could climb the battleship, it is estimated that he would climb up.

Zhang Bin didn't let him wait long, as soon as the hanging ladder was lowered, he asked Tian Chuan to take his two sons to get off the boat first.

Zheng Zhilong was excited, as soon as Tian Chuan and Zheng Chenggong stepped on the dock, he immediately rushed up, picked up Zheng Chenggong, and said excitedly: "Sen'er, Sen'er, you have grown so big, do you remember to be your father?" ”

Zheng Chenggong actually met Zheng Zhilong a few times, but Zheng Zhilong sneaked to Hirado to see him, because he was afraid of being discovered, he basically left after a few days, so he didn't have too much impression of this father.

Of course, the blood and family affection are there, he is not afraid of life, "father" is still called quite naturally, and Zheng Zhilong's mouth is about to laugh crookedly.

Tagawa Nanazaemon is different, he shouldn't have seen Zheng Zhilong, or when Zheng Zhilong came to see him, he was still very young, and he didn't remember anything at all, so he didn't have any impression of Zheng Zhilong, and because Tagawa usually spoke to him in Dongying dialect, he hadn't started to teach him Chinese, so Tagawa coaxed him for a long time, and he barely shouted: "Oh Tuosang." ”

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhilong was still so happy that he actually talked to him about Dongying, I have to say that this Zheng Zhilong is a language genius, he not only knows Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch, but also speaks Dongying quite well, and he giggled at Xiaoqizaemon for a while.

Zhang Bin waited on the boat for a while, and when the family was almost close, he slowly walked down the suspension ladder.

Zheng Zhilong only had his wife and children in his eyes at this time, and he didn't notice him at all, until the generals who came to greet him greeted him in unison, and he didn't react.

The Governor went to Dongying to help him take his wife and children over, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude, but unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Bin immediately raised his hand and said: "You meet again after a long absence, hurry back and talk about it." By the way, on the boat, I found that Sen'er is very intelligent, and he is a material that can be made, tomorrow, you take him to me and perform a bowing ceremony, and I will accept this disciple. ”

"Ahh , Zheng Zhilong looked at Zhang Bin dumbfounded, and then looked at his son, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Bin waved his hand and advised, "Don't forget." ”

After that, he turned around and left, making Zheng Zhilong dizzy.

Zhang Bin actually misses Qi Fanghua a little, to be precise, he misses the child in her belly, looking at the enthusiasm of Zheng Zhilong's family, he can't help but look forward to his unborn child even more, this is the first time he has his own child in two lives, that feeling is really indescribable.

The more he thought about it, the more eager he became, all the way he was simply trotting back, and finally returned to his compound, but he was a little retreated, because the main hall was full of people, his mother Huang accompanied Qi Fanghua to sit in the main seat, Hong Rong'er, Chen Yingying and other wives and concubines below, and even Chen Xiuxiu's little girl was dangling in front of Qi Fanghua, looking curious about the baby, and he couldn't lift his feet where to go.

As soon as Huang saw him walk in, he immediately got up and said, "Oh, fifth girl, you're back, hurry, hurry, come and sit, talk to Fanghua, we talked about you just now." ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Huang back, and said with a wry smile: "How can a mother let her son sit, you sit and you sit, and I sit there casually." ”

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Yingying, who was on the right, motioned for her to get up and give up her position, and then sat down.

Huang didn't care much about this, but she asked with a generous nature: "By the way, didn't you go to pick up Zhilong's wife and children, did you pick them up?" ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly nodded and said, "I picked it up, I picked it up, I picked it up, and the mother and son all three took it back." ”

Huang was even more curious, she was surprised: "Isn't there two mother and son, how did it become three?" ”

Zhang Bin explained with a smile: "The Tagawa clan gave birth to two sons to Zhilong, the eldest is called Zheng Sen, who is more than six years old, and the younger is called Tagawa Nanazaemon, who is only more than three years old. ”

When Huang heard this, he asked: "Hey, why does the little one have his mother's surname, Tagawa Nanazaemon, what a long name." ”

Zhang Bin was so dizzy, he explained with a wry smile: "It seems that it was said that it was passed on to the Tian Chuan clan, and the name of Dongying is longer than the name of our Daming." ”

Chen Xiuxiu was also interested when she heard this, and she asked up and down: "Dongying baby, is it fun?" ”

Zhang Bin's face was suddenly full of black lines, and he said that three women in one play, here, a total of seven women, big and small, can come to a super drama, but he was born as a male role, and there are many lines in this line, so I am afraid that it will make people sing nerves.

He has a headache, and Zheng Zhilong also has a bit of a headache, because he wants his eldest son to take over his class to practice martial arts, but the Governor suddenly told him that he wants to accept Sen'er as a disciple, and the Governor is a scholar, not that he looks down on literati, mainly, he thinks that his son is going to take over the leadership of tens of thousands of sailors and soldiers, and he is polite, can he do it?

He wanted to refuse the Governor, but he couldn't find an excuse, and after thinking about it, he finally thought of a way, that is, to ask his son, if his son is unwilling, but it is a good reason, others themselves are unwilling, and I have no problem, right?

So, he called Zheng Chenggong to him and induced: "Sen'er, did you see the warship outside just now?" ”

Zheng Chenggong immediately nodded and said, "I saw it, I saw it, there were a lot." ”

There was a play, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly continued to induce: "Then do you want to be like your father when you grow up, commanding hundreds of warships and crisscrossing the seas?" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes." ”

Zheng Zhilong immediately pretended to be embarrassed, and said with a sad face: "But the Governor said that he wanted to accept you as a disciple, which means that he wants you to go to study literature, and you are going to study, so how can you command these warships?" ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he said proudly: "Uncle has said, as long as I study hard with him and learn the art of war well, when I grow up, my uncle will give me a general, let me command thousands of troops and horses, and let me command a huge fleet." ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he fainted at the wrong point, and the Governor actually said so, so what else can be done, go to the teacher honestly.

Early the next morning, he took his wife and children to the governor's palace, and he actually had the intention of visiting relatives, because Zhang Bin's mother Huang was also his aunt according to his generation, and this wife and children took it over, so he naturally wanted to take it to visit.

Huang's is called a happy ah, most of the old people like children, Huang is no exception, the problem is that his eldest son Daniel Zhang and second son Zhang Guan's children are in their teens, not very fun, and the third and fourth sons take their families to do business outside, not in Dongfan, the fifth son Zhang Bin still has no children, she can only find Chen Xiuxiu to be happy.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong suddenly brought two children carved in pink, she was naturally happy, especially Tagawa Nanazaemon, who was more than three years old, and he couldn't speak Chinese, but he understood a little bit, and it was very fun, so that she couldn't close her happy mouth.

The Huang family was there to tease Xiaoqi Zuoemon to play, but Zhang Bin was teaching Zheng Zhilong to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony, he had never been so formal when he accepted protégés before, to put it bluntly, those protégés would not have a personal impact on him, this Zheng Chenggong is different, he is going to replace Zheng Zhilong in charge of the water division for himself, what is the most important thing in troubled times, naturally the army, in order to ensure that the water master is tightly in his hands, Zheng Chenggong's apprenticeship ceremony should naturally be formal, let him keep it in mind, and truly regard himself as a master.

According to the provisions of the General Dictionary, there are three steps and six rites for the formal apprenticeship etiquette, the three steps are the three steps of apprenticeship, and the six rites are the six gifts given by the disciples to the master.

These six gifts are not rare, they are all common ingredients, but each has a different meaning.

celery, meaning diligent and studious, good at diligence;

Lotus seeds, lotus seeds are bitter, meaning painstaking education;

Red beans, meaning red luck;

Red dates, meaning early and high school;

Longan, meaning the completion of merit;

Dried lean pork strips to express the disciple's heart.

It was naturally not difficult for Zheng Zhilong to prepare these six rites, so he ordered someone to buy them, and he quickly bought them back.

The next step is three steps, the first of these three steps is to worship the ancestor to show respect for the industry, but also to pray for the blessing of the ancestor and bless his academic success.

The ancestor worshiped by scholars is Confucius, and the ranking of this Confucius is easy to find, and it is available in general schools.

This second step made Zhang Bin embarrassed, because the second step was to formally worship the master, not only the master had to take the seat, but the master also had to take the seat, he had two wives, both of whom were married by the emperor, and he didn't want to give the two of them a size.

In the end, there was no way, he could only make three chairs, he sat in the middle, and Qi Fanghua and Hong Ronger sat on both sides, which was equivalent to taking the coffee table in the middle.

After Zheng Chenggong finished worshipping the patriarch, he gave three kowtows to his master and two masters, and presented a red envelope and a worship post, and then it was the last step.

This last step is mainly a lecture from the master, and it can also be accompanied by some announcements of door rules, names or something.

In Zhang Bin's place, the precept has become secondary, and the name is the main thing, because Zheng Chenggong is not called Zheng Chenggong at this time, but Zheng Sen.

This successful name was given to him by Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, and Zhang Bin was afraid that there would be no shadow of him in this Nanming and Emperor Longwu, so Zhang Bin overcame the substitute and directly gave him the name of success.

From this time on, Zheng Sen officially changed his name to Zheng Chenggong.

Zhang Bin is also quite concerned about this disciple, after accepting him, he immediately let him move to the governor's palace, every morning at the beginning of the morning by his wife Qi Fanghua to urge him to practice the sword, in the morning he personally taught him to read and learn calligraphy, in the afternoon to teach him to study the art of war, even if he is not free, he must arrange his civilian and military generals to teach on his behalf, and he has not slackened for a day.
