Zhu Hongsan took people on the boat, and someone from the Zheng family received Zhu Hongsan. Arrange the guard company in the bottom cabin. Zhu Hongsan and his entourage were arranged to the upper guest room.

The steward of the Zheng family said: "Master Ma, I'm really sorry, this is a cargo ship, not as comfortable as a passenger ship." However, when they arrive in Kinmen, they will change to a passenger ship and go to Beijing. ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "It's okay, please go and get busy, you don't have to accompany us." ”

This time, Zhu Hongsan came out with the name of the nephew of the Ma family, and his name was Ma Hongsan. After all, this time I went to Beijing, and it was really difficult to get the name of a clan.

Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi have a room, and Qian Fatzi and Wang Jinbao have a room. Seeing that there was nothing in the room, Zhu Hongsan went out for a stroll.

At this time, the boat had not yet left, and was replenishing fresh water and fresh vegetables on the shore.

Zhu Hongsan circled around the big seaship, which was about 30 meters long and more than 5 meters wide. On the upper deck is a three-storey wooden building, which is the hallmark of the Ming Dynasty Fuchuan.

There were two large masts standing in the middle, and the sails had not yet been lowered.

Zhu Hongsan estimated that the load of this ship was about 300 tons, which was 600 materials according to the Ming Dynasty, which was already a big ship.

Zhu Hongsan was watching, and a person next to him spoke: "I didn't expect Mr. Ma to be interested in sea ships." ”

Zhu Hongsan looked back and saw a middle-aged man in a long robe standing next to him, of medium height and dark face. The appearance is not ugly, and a pair of sparkling eyes look at him.

Zhu Hongsan said: "Oh, it's really boring in the cabin, come out to breathe." I have never seen such a big sea ship in Xia, and for a while, Meng Lang made Mr. smile. I wonder who Mr. is? ”

The man arched his hand and said, "There, down there is Zheng Cai." ”

It turned out to be Zheng Zhilong's cousin, and I heard that he was going to go to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to let Zheng Chenggong kill him. It turned out to be another big traitor.

Zhu Hongsan arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Brother Zheng, and the younger brother is polite." ”

Zheng Cai said with a smile: "Brother Ma Xian, your Ma family is good at manufacturing, and this kind of sea ship is still in your eyes?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and our family can make artillery, but this sea ship really can't." I've grown up inland, and it's the first time I've seen a ship this big. ”

Zheng Cai said: "My brother wants to see the ship simply, when I arrive in Kinmen, I still have a three-masted ship, and that is the sea beast." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "I read in the book that when the eunuchs of Sanbao went to the South Seas, there were five-masted ships, what should that look like?" ”

Zheng Cai sighed and said: "I haven't seen that either, but I heard the old man in the family say that the treasure ship is like a castle on the sea, and horses can run on it, how big do you say?" ”

Zhu Hongsan secretly said in his heart: "The master has seen all the aircraft carriers in later generations, how can it be like you turtles." But he said: "It's really yearning to hear the eldest brother say this." ”

At this time, the replenishment of the ship was completed, and the sailors put away the springboard, lowered the half-sail, and set sail.

Zhu Hongsan doesn't care about his past life or future life, this is the first time he has gone to sea, and he can't help but be a little nervous.

Zheng Cai could see that Zhu Hongsan was nervous, and comforted him: "Brother Xian, don't worry, it's the winter moon now, and the sea is calm." We'll be to Kinmen soon. ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded, watching the Dongguan wharf getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't see it for a while. Then I came to the mouth of the Pearl River Estuary and saw two different colors of the sea and the confluence of the river.

Zhu Hongsan asked: "The world is really wonderful, big brother, why do you see that the color of this water is still different?" ”

Zhang Cai said: "The dark color is the sea water, and the earthy yellow color is the river water, because the river water has sediment, so the color is different. ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded. Zhang Cai saw that it was getting late, and said, "When we get to the sea, the sea breeze is starting to get stronger." Let's go into the house and talk. ”

When they came to Zhang Cai's room, after the two sat down, Zhang Cai said: "I have been to Dongguan many times, and I have had a lot of contact with your Ma family. I have seen both the uncle and the second master of the Ma family, but the virtuous brother is still an eye. I don't know what the virtuous brother is responsible for in the Ma family? ”

Zhu Hongsan naturally knew that he was talking nonsense, after all, five thousand silver for an artillery piece was too expensive, and this guy wanted to get the production process of the artillery so that he could build it himself.

Zhu Hongsan said: "I'm just a relative of the Ma family, and I don't have any other specialties, I just love to dance and play with guns." So my eldest brother put me in charge of the family's nursing home. This time I went to Beijing to pick up the uncle of the Feng family who was in Beijing, and only a martial artist like me went to this matter. ”

There are truths and falsehoods in Zhu Hongsan's sentences, which makes Zheng Caixin think it is true. After all, the 200 people who came up just now looked like soldiers with long training. This kind of elite is not rare even in the Zheng family.

In addition, when he heard Zhu Hongsan say that he was going to Beijing to pick up people, Zheng Cai lost interest all of a sudden. When he came, Zheng Zhilong told him that he wanted to get the gunpowder formula of the Ma family. But this guy in front of him looks like a gentleman, and he shouldn't know this kind of confidential thing.

So Zheng Cai didn't have the strength to chat with Zhu Hongsan, and after saying a few words, he said goodbye and sent off the guests.

Zhu Hong's three monkey-like people don't know Zheng Cai's careful eyes, so nine and a half of the ten sentences are true, and the most important ones are false. In this way, even the gods can't tell the truth from the fake.

Zhu Hongsan came to the deck again, watched the sun sink in the west, and couldn't help but ponder against the sea.

I don't have to go to Beijing this time, it's mainly Zhu Hongsan's curiosity. As a Han Chinese, when I came to the era of the late Ming Dynasty, it was really in vain not to see how Chongzhen died.

The history of the Ming Dynasty in later generations was repaired by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in order to highlight the legitimacy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, a large number of things were tampered with at the end of the Ming Dynasty. In order to highlight the illegitimacy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Han people were called upon to rebel. And a lot of history is made up.

made Zhu Hongsan see the bizarre history of the Ming Dynasty, the same person said that it was good, and there were people who said it badly. Among them, the most suspicious is this Chongzhen Emperor.

With so many questions, plus Zhu Hongsan's fundamental interests are in conflict with Chongzhen, so Beijing must go this time.

Another little caution is that Zhu Hongsan wants to see the one-armed god Ni Jiu Yan in the Lu Ding Ji, that is, Chongzhen's daughter Princess Changping. Zhu Hongsan wants to see what kind of person this hard-working princess of the dead country is when she falls to the ground.

Life at sea is really boring, and a few days ago, Zhu Hongsan and his gang were still excited about going to sea for the first time. Come out every day to see the sea view and see the seagulls fishing.

On the third day, they encountered wind and waves, and Zhu Hongsan and the others vomited in the dark. Zhu Hongyi, a person like a black iron tower, didn't stand up, and his black face turned yellow.

Fortunately, the Zheng family's housekeepers were experienced, and each person drank a bowl of hot ginger soup, and Zhu Hongsan felt better.

Zheng Cai has not been out of the room for the past few days, and it seems that he has lost interest in Zhu Hongsan. It's okay like this, Zhu Hongsan is also afraid that he will come to ask questions.

Dongguan is about more than 1,000 miles away from Kinmen, and it takes two months to walk by land, but it will be there in five days when there is no wind and waves at sea.

Because of the distance, there were no supplies along the way. There was no stop on the road, and it drove directly into the Golden Gate Wharf.

Zhu Hongsan stood on the boat and looked at Kinmen, which was now under the jurisdiction of the Quanzhou government. There should be a Golden Gate guard on Kinmen Island. However, after Wanli, the coastal defense was relaxed. The Golden Gatekeeper had already withdrawn. The place became a pirate's paradise.

Until Zheng Zhilong's rise, Kinmen became Zheng Zhilong's lair. This place is now more lively than Dongguan, and all kinds of people are flooded with the wharf. Zhu Hongsan even saw a few red-haired and green-eyed foreigners.

The sea boat docked, and Zhang Cai came out at this time. said to Zhu Hongsan: "Brother Ma Jiaxian, I have arrived in Jinmen, I want to go to Quanzhou to give an errand to my eldest brother." I won't be with you. I've already told the steward here, and they'll arrange for you to take a passenger ship to the north. ”

Zhu Hongsan arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the hospitality of the eldest brother in the past few days, and when I come back from the north, I will invite the eldest brother to Dongguan to have fun." ”

Zhang Cai smiled and got off the boat.

Zhu Hongsan and his entourage were led by a steward to an inn in the city and arranged for them to stay. The steward said, "Uncle Ma, your ship will leave in three days." Please rest at the inn for the next few days, and I will come to pick you up when the time comes. ”

After Zhu Hongsan nodded, the steward went out.

Zhu Hongsan summoned his own people and said: "Don't go out if everyone is fine, this place is not our hometown, don't make trouble." In the past few days, I have been taking care of my body in the room, and I still have 2,000 miles to go in three days. ”

Everyone nodded their heads and told them to go out and not go out, and sat on the boat for five days. Just down-to-earth, now my head is still a little fluttery, how can I have the heart to go out and have fun.
