Chapter 382: Got on the big steamer
Gao Junshan stayed in Shiping for one night, and the next day he started to hurry again, and Long Zaitian brought a thousand Tusi troops to escort him, and he escorted Gao Junshan all the way to the west bank of the Lijiang River.
Here in Lijiang, there is a stronghold of the Cao Gang, and Li Hu ordered the Cao Gang brothers here to prepare their boats, and Gao Junshan and his party are going to get on the boats here to go to Manchester City.
The Cao Gang brothers had already received a telegram from the gang leader Li Hu, so there were already five large steam engine passenger ships waiting here in Lijiang, these five passenger ships were 1,000-ton passenger ships, built by the Yangon Shipyard, and had just been launched.
The five passenger ships were dedicated to passenger service and were built after the construction of steam engine battleships was halted in Gao Junshan.
The cessation of the manufacture of steam engine battleships was in order to build a batch of passenger (cargo) steam engine ships. At present, the large shipyards in Huaxia are stepping up the construction of 10,000-ton ocean-going passenger (cargo) ships, and there are as many as 10 ships under construction, and in two years, these 10,000-ton ships will be launched. Thirty steam engine ships of three thousand tons and eighty ships of one thousand tons have been launched.
The five ships that have come to pick up Gao Junshan now are one of the 80 passenger (cargo) ships with a 1,000-ton steam engine, and these five ships docked at the riverside belong to passenger ships.
The purpose of vigorously developing the steam engine passenger (cargo) ship is to improve the capacity of ocean transportation, and more importantly, to prepare for the next step to enter the Americas.
Gao Junshan already has a plan to cross the Bering Sea from Vladivostok, the other side of the Bering Sea is the vast Americas, and it is no longer a problem for Huaxia to go to the Americas to enclose land, the key is to have large ships to transport immigrants and materials, which is the purpose of Gao Junshan's marine transportation.
With the capacity of sea transportation, and then the railway line will be repaired, so as to ensure a steady stream of immigrants and materials to the Americas, at that time, and then go to the Americas to enclose, as much as you want, you can circle as much as you want, who dares to grab territory with our Huaxia country, our battleships and Navy 6 Squadron are not vegetarians.
Gao Junshan's royal convoy came to the river and stopped, and Li Derong helped Gao Junshan to get off next to Gao Junshan's carriage.
Li Hu came to Gao Junshan and asked: "Your Majesty, the ship is ready, when can I get on the ship?" β
Gao Junshan said: "Get on the boat immediately, we will have dinner on the boat." β
Li Hu said: "Obey the order!" β
Gao Junshan stopped Li Hu, who turned around to leave: "There is no problem with safety, right?" β
Li Hu said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the people on the ship are 100% reliable, and there are people from my Cao Gang on the ship." β
Gao Junshan said: "For the sake of safety, let my Imperial Forest Army board the ship first, and your Cao Gang will cooperate with the Royal Forest Army to inspect all five ships once." β
"Yes!" Li Hu and Li Derong said at the same time.
"Your Majesty, have you arrived at the place?" Han Yuyan got out of the carriage and walked to Gao Junshan's side and asked.
"It's not there yet. We're going to change ships, and when the Kings come on board to check that there's no problem, we'll get on board, and we'll have dinner on board tonight. β
"It's going to be a big ship! I'm so happy! Jiya and Suena, who followed from behind, also heard Gao Junshan's words, and they jumped and jumped with joy.
Gao Junshan said: "Don't be too happy too early, if you will get seasick, it will not be a good thing." β
Han Yuyan said: "The concubine has lived by the river since she was a child, how can she be seasick?" β
Gao Junshan looked at Ji Ya and Su Ye Na and said, "One of you lives in the prairie and the other lives in the desert, so it's hard to say whether you will get seasick." β
Ji Ya asked, "Your Majesty, how will you react to seasickness?" β
Gao Junshan said: "Cold sweat, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, it depends on the degree of seasickness, you will know when you get on the boat." β
"What to do? What to do? What to do? Jiya said three things in a row, as if she had really begun to get seasick.
Gao Junshan said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, not everyone will get seasick, and you won't know until you get on the ship." β
His words still played some comforting role for Ji Ya and Su Yena.
After the Imperial Forest Army quickly finished inspecting the ship, Li Derong ran to report to Gao Junshan: "Your Majesty, we can get on the boat." β
Gao Junshan asked, "Which ship are we on?" β
"The one in the middle."

Gao Junshan boarded this ship called "Xiangyang 13", this ship has a total of three floors, the top floor is Gao Junshan's exclusive cabin, into the cabin, is a hall, this hall has two functions, is the dining room and living room, the dining room and living room are distributed in the left and right of the hall, the middle is the lounge, is to provide guests with a resting place, here is arranged French sand, there is also tea supply, the dining room is not big, only two tables, is for the use of passengers on this floor, there is a very wide window in front of the dining room, Guests can enjoy the view from the window while eating, as well as the living room, which can also enjoy the view from the outside of the boat.
The layout of the hall is very luxurious, with 58 lights in the hall, and there are bookshelves in the lounge, and there are a large number of books for visitors to read.
Passing through the lobby is the guest room area, where there are a total of eight rooms with an aisle in the middle, four rooms on each side of the aisle, and the aisle is equipped with lights.
Gao Junshan and Han Yuyan occupied the second room on the right, Ji Ya was at the opposite door from them, Su Ye Na was next door to them, that is, the third room, and the remaining two rooms were used as the duty room and the report room of the Imperial Forest Army.
The room has a double bed, bedside tables, lamps, dressers, and other necessary furniture for the family, and there is also a balcony in the room, on which two chaise longues and a coffee table are placed.
The dΓ©cor of the room is antique, with red sandalwood furniture, illuminated by pale yellow lights, gorgeous and mysterious.
After Gao Junshan and his entourage got on the boat, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the early spring sunset reflected on the river, infinitely gorgeous, and the five steamers set sail on the red-dyed river.
With a long whistle, black smoke billowed from the ship's chimney, and the rumbling sound of machinery came out, making people feel the ship's planks vibrating.
"It's time to sail! Let's sail! Jiya and Suena ran out of the room excitedly, and the two of them came to the living room in unison, sat on the sand in the living room, and enjoyed the view over the river.
Gao Junshan heard the sound of Ji Ya and Su Ye Na laughing, but it was Han Yuyan, and his face seemed to have a trace of uncomfortable expression.
"What's wrong?" Gao Junshan asked with concern, "Are you uncomfortable?" β
"If only there was a little." Han Yuyan smiled helplessly, "Maybe it's because I'm hungry!" β
"It's okay, it'll be ready for dinner soon." Gao Junshan comforted, "If you don't want to go out, just lie down on the bed!" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty! You go out for a walk and let the concubine be quiet for a while. Han Yuyan didn't go to bed, but walked to the balcony.
Gao Junshan said: "It's okay to be quiet alone, and when the meal is served, I'll call someone to call you." β
Gao Junshan walked out of the room after speaking.
At this time, the steamer was in the middle of the process, and the ship was moving faster and faster, and layers of waves were set off on the river.
Gao Junshan came to the hall and saw Ji Ya and Su Ye Na talking and laughing enjoying the scenery outside the boat, and at the end of the dining room, there were already people preparing to serve food.
He walked to the lounge, sat in a corner, took out a copy of "The Classics of the National Dynasty" from the bookshelf and flipped through it, and after reading a few pages, Li Derong came over to inform him that the meal was open.
"You go and invite the queen out for dinner." Gao Junshan stood up and finished speaking to Li Derong, and walked in the direction of the dining room, he heard Ji Ya and Su Ye Na still talking in the living room, so he shouted to them loudly: "You two come here, it's time to eat!" β
Although there were two tables in the dining room, only one table was now open, and four chairs were placed in front of the table, which were for Gao Junshan and his three ladies.
The three of them sat down at the dinner table, and before Han Yuyan came out, Ji Ya joked: "Isn't my sister hungry, she hasn't come out to eat yet." β
Gao Junshan said: "No, he just said that he was very hungry!" β
At this time, all three of them saw Li Derong hurriedly coming from the guest room. ()
