The three battleships rode the wind and waves on the South China Sea and sailed south at a speed of 18 knots, and the sea surface of the South China Sea in August was relatively windy and rough, but the steam engine battleships were less affected by the wind, so the three battleships kept sailing at a speed of 18 knots.

After the battleship sailed at a constant speed at sea for six hours, the sky gradually darkened, due to the loss of visibility, the captain Deng Shijie ordered to slow down the voyage, the speed slowed down to eight knots, and at the same time, the navigation lights on the three battleships were all turned on, and the positions between the battleships were clear at a glance.

Since the production of light bulbs, the battleship has undergone a new refit, and the battleship has been equipped with lighting, navigation lights, signal lights, searchlights and other facilities for night navigation, making the battleships of Huaxia closer to modern warships and able to meet the requirements of all-weather combat.

In the private room of Gao Junshan, Ruan Fangqing was sitting bored on the sofa to be a female red, because the sky was getting darker and darker, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and walked to the porthole to look out, the window was hazy, she couldn't see anything clearly, so she smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around looking for something in the house, looked for a long time, found nothing, the sky was even darker, she sat back on the sofa, helplessly rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands.

When she heard the familiar footsteps, she flew like a bird to the door of the private room and gently pulled it open.

Standing at the door of the private room is the high mountain.

"It's so late, why don't you turn on the lights?" Gao Junshan asked with a flower-like smile.

"Turn on the lights?" Ruan Fangqing asked with wide eyes.

Gao Junshan then remembered that people had never seen electric lights at this time, and of course they didn't know what it meant to turn on the lights, so he asked: "It's dark, why don't you light the lights?" ”

"It's okay to say!" Ruan Fangqing complained, "The concubine has been looking for a long time, and she can't see anything like oil lamps and candles. ”

Gao Junshan said with a smile: "On this ship, you don't need oil lamps and candles, you just need to move your hand and pull this switch," he said as he reached out to pull the light bulb switch on the side of the door, only to hear a "tick" sound, the power switch was pulled away, and the private room suddenly lit up. "Look, there's light."

The dazzling light made Ruan Fangqing unable to open her eyes, and she said in a panic: "Why is it so bright all of a sudden!" ”

"Silly girl, this is an electric light," Gao Junshan pulled away the hand covering her eyes, "You slowly open your eyes and see if the room is much brighter." ”

Ruan Fangqing slowly opened her eyes obediently, she looked around the private room in surprise, and then looked up at the glowing light bulb.

"You can't stare at a light bulb, it'll break your eyes." Gao Junshan reminded.

Ruan Fangqing hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

"It's your dinner." Gao Junshan handed her a lunch box.

She took the lunch box, sat back on the sofa, and said as she opened the lunch box, "What kind of dish is dinner?" Ah! What a fragrant braised pork! ”

Gao Junshan said: "Hurry up and eat!" ”

……

Captain Deng Shijie put down three speedboats at sea before dark, these three speedboats are on guard, because with electric lights, the warning range of speedboats has been doubled compared with before, and now they can transmit information to each other through signal lights, and speedboats can go farther to be on guard.

At the lookout, the watchman was increased to two people on duty at night, and the watchman was tasked with liaising with three (and sometimes five) speedboats, in addition to observing the sea situation.

With three speedboats as the lead, the speed of the battleship was raised to twelve knots, and these three battleships left the sailing fleet far behind, and by the time it was dawn, the battleship had already sailed into the waters of Champa Harbor, anchored and waited to enter the port.

Gao Junshan had already gotten up early and came to the command platform in the cockpit, Sun Dahai, Liu Wenxiu, Ma Wen, Hong Pengju, Hui Yan, and Tian Qiliang were already standing beside him, and the captain Deng Shijie was directing the speedboat to enter the port in advance and liaise with the Zhancheng State.

Champa is an ancient kingdom that existed on the Indochina Peninsula in ancient times, and the kings are located in Indra Bura, with a wide territory, Hengshan Pass, and Panli area in the south.

In ancient times, the city was called Xianglinyi, referred to as Linyi, and was the hometown of Xianglin County, Xiangxian County, Qin and Han Dynasties. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xianglin Gongcao's son Ou Lian established himself as the king and became independent from then on. From the second half of the 8th century to the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed the Huan Kingdom, and the five dynasties were renamed Zhancheng.

Historically, it was annexed by the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam in 1697.

However, due to the crossing of the Gao Jun Mountains, the Nguyen Dynasty at this time (1654) had been annexed by the Gao Jun Mountains, while the Champa State still existed.

At dawn, a signal was received from the speedboat that the battleship could enter the harbor.

"Anchor!" Deng Shijie gave the order to lift the anchor.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of winches driving chains colliding with each other was heard, and a huge roded iron anchor was lifted from the sea.

Deng Shijie issued another order: "Advance one, approach the port of Champa." ”

The three battleships, led by the flagship, slowly sailed into the port of Champa, and because such a large battleship could not be docked at the wharf of Champa, the three battleships could only anchor in the harbor.

At this time, the port of Champa has been dressed up, in order to welcome the arrival of the emperor of Huaxia, all kinds of flowers are spread all over the port, and the whole port is full of flowers, which looks very festive.

The crowd of people welcoming people on the shore is surging, and at a glance, there are thousands of people, which is enough to see the depth of the friendship between the city and the city.

Since the destruction of Guangnan by China, not only did not send troops to Champang, but also helped Champa rebuild their homes, and even supported them with a large amount of food, so that the people of Champa could live a stable life, and the king of Champa could govern his country with peace of mind.

The friendship between the Huaxia State and the Champa State, can the people of the Champa not welcome the Huaxia Emperor with the most sincere feelings?

There is no frost and snow all year round, the temperature is hot like summer, and the grass and trees are evergreen. The people here are engaged in fishing, do not grow grain, and have few people who have little to harvest, so their income is very small, and most of them are poor.

People here like to eat betel nuts, and all betel nuts are not separated from their mouths.

They don't understand synodic hopes, but they start with the birth of the moon, and the moon is the end, and they don't know what leap years and leap months are.

The people here divide the day and night into ten watches, and often sleep until noon before getting up, and do not sleep until midnight.

Champa is also a country of singing and dancing all day long, as long as the moonlight is bright, it will set up wine and feasts, singing and dancing all night long.

They had no pen and paper, few people could write, and the national letter was written with a thin black sheepskin mallet, and then the bamboo pieces were thinned and dipped in white ash, and their words were like earthworms.

This country is not very rich, but it has the most rhinos and elephants. The officials in the government were paid ebony, incense, and wood, and had no concept of currency.
