On August 13, 1654, Gao Junshan boarded the battleship "Zheng He No. 1", and he was accompanied by senior generals of the navy, including Sun Dahai, commander of the Ninth Army, Liu Wenxiu, commander of the Fourth Fleet, Ma Wen, commander of the Sixth Fleet, Hong Pengju, commander of the Third Fleet, Hui Yan, commander of the Fifth Marine Brigade of the Navy, and Tian Qiliang, deputy director of the Naval Staff.

As a concubine, Ruan Fangqing boarded the battleship with Gao Junshan.

This time, Sun Dahai, Liu Wenxiu, Ma Wen, Hong Pengju, Hui Yan and Tian Qiliang were all arranged in the rest cabin in the forward building of the battleship, and there were eight private rooms in the rest cabin, and they occupied six of them, and became neighbors with the emperor and the captain.

These six generals set sail as the senior staff of Gao Jun Mountain, and of course they should live next to Gao Jun Mountain, and they can be on call if there is anything.

Ruan Fangqing was on the Zheng He-class battleship for the first time, everything was new to her, and when she walked into the private room of Gao Junshan, she was even more surprised, she had never seen such a luxurious room, since such a luxurious room was still on the battleship.

True, during the year, the battleship was moored in Cam Ranh Bay, where it was again refined.

Captain Deng Shijie painstakingly redecorated the private room in Gao Junshan, which was not only luxuriously decorated, but also equipped with newly invented electric lights.

Battleships had ready-made generators, which were powered by steam engines, which provided power for the battleship's lights, signal lights, and navigation lights.

Li Derong, the guard officer of Gao Junshan, also boarded the battleship, and he shouldered the responsibility of protecting the emperor's safety.

The Imperial Forest Army, which followed Li Derong on the ship, had a platoon of 36 people, divided into three shifts, protecting the safety of Gao Junshan day and night.

After getting on the battleship, Gao Junshan set a rule for Ruan Fangqing, she could only stay in the private room, and she couldn't go out of the private room without Gao Junshan's permission.

"Zheng He No. 1" docked at the No. 1 pier in Cam Ranh Bay, waiting to set sail, the dock workers on the dock were already putting the finishing touches, the battleship's supplies and fuel had been put into storage, and the sailors were sweeping the deck and aisles.

Groups of marines began to board the ship, and Gao Junshan was in his private room, assigning detailed tasks to his senior staff.

The combat mission of the army of the whole journey will be very few, unless you encounter pirates, there will be no combat mission, because the early voyage has reached mutual trust with the countries of the South Seas, and this voyage mission is to further deepen friendship and enhance friendship with these countries through which it passes, so this voyage is also called a friendship trip.

Gao Junshan's task to the senior staff members is to collect information on the countries along the way, and each person corresponds to each country.

The previous fleet sailed and had dealings with these countries, and Gao Junshan gathered all the officials who had visited these countries before and divided them into six working groups, which group was responsible for the affairs of those countries, Gao Junshan was confident, and he now assigned these six working groups to his six senior staff members to manage.

Gao Junshan invited the six senior counselors to his private room for a small meeting, and during the meeting, Gao Junshan asked Ruan Fangqing to temporarily go to the deck to blow the wind.

The meeting was very relaxed, just like at home, and everyone talked while drinking tea. Everyone chatted for a while, among these six people, three are Gao Junshan's godsons, one is the son of the Red Army friend, one is the son of Hui Dengxiang, and the other is the son of Tian Jianxiu, all of whom are the sons of Jiangmen, so there is nothing to restrict, but Tian Jianxiu's son looks a little different.

This time I went to Nanyang, I had to visit several countries, and it was not something that could be completed in one or two months, so Gao Junshan specially approved them to bring their daughter-in-law on the battleship, their daughters-in-law are not outsiders, Sun Dahai's daughter-in-law Zhou Ruozhou is Zhou Wenjiang's daughter, Ma Wen's daughter-in-law Cai Xiaorui is Cai Zhishan's daughter, Liu Wenxiu's daughter-in-law Ma Xinyue is Ma Jinzhong's daughter, Hong Pengju's daughter-in-law Zhou Ruolan is Zhou Wenjiang's other daughter, she and Zhou Ruozhou are two sisters, Huiyan's daughter-in-law Ma Erxi is Ma Jinzhong's other daughter, She and Ma Xinyue are two sisters, Tian Qiliang's daughter-in-law Hui Min is the daughter of Hui Dengxiang, and she and Hui Yan are two brothers and sisters.

After everyone talked about their daily routines, Gao Junshan announced to them everyone's work tasks: "Now there are six working groups following us on the battleship, and these six working groups only have deputy leaders and no team leaders, and now I will officially appoint the leaders of these six working groups and their tasks: the first group is in charge of Sun Dahai, and this group is responsible for liaison with Zhenwax and Siam; The second group is in charge of Liu Wenxiu, which is responsible for liaison with the capital state; The third group is headed by Marven, which is responsible for liaison with Johor and Songzhou; The fourth group is in charge of Hung Pengju, which is responsible for liaison with Perak; The fifth group is headed by Hui Yan, which is responsible for liaison with Aceh; The sixth team is headed by Tien Kai Leong, which is responsible for liaising with Kedah. ”

Gao Junshan took a breath, read out a long list of tasks, and then asked, "You all have no opinions, right?" ”

Marven got up and asked, "Is Songzhou the territory of our Han people?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "You go back to your respective group for specific business, and the elites in your group will answer you, I won't answer them to you here, the task I have given you is to manage your working group." ”

Sun Dahai asked: "When we get to these countries, should we go ashore?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Of course, I have to go ashore, and I will also meet with the kings of these countries to discuss state affairs. ”

Hui Yan asked, "Will my Marine Brigade also go ashore with you?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "It depends." There are two main tasks for this trip to Nanyang, one is to demonstrate the powerful military strength of China's Huaxia country, and the other is to establish friendly relations with other countries in Nanyang and further develop trade exchanges. ”

Hong Pengju asked: "To show them our military strength, it is enough to have our naval fleet to go, and to develop trade with them, it is enough to have the Ministry of Commerce to contact, why do you want to go out in person?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "My personal appearance shows that we attach importance to them, and it also shows that we are sincere in cooperating with them. ”

Liu Wenxiu said proudly: "My father is clever and far-sighted, what my father thinks and does, what can we understand?" This has been proven by the facts of history. ”

Gao Junshan said: "There is no problem with the meeting to open here, if you praise it, you will say less in the future, and the meeting will be dismissed." Uh——, Tian Qiliang stayed for a while. ”

Gao Junshan found that Tian Qiliang was not active in speaking, and seemed to be a little depressed, so he suddenly decided to leave him to ask.

After the others left, Gao Junshan asked, "What?" Doesn't seem to be in a good mood? ”
