A large golden umbrella appeared on the shore like a forest of guns, and a huge ship covered in dark iron armor also appeared here.

The former is Zhu Youxiao's Luanyi, this will be Zhu Youxiao's first time to set foot on the Daming steamship to go to sea, Rao is he has also drifted across the sea, and now he is still excited, looking at the ocean in front of him, he is heroic and abrupt.

The latter is the super giant ship "Daming" that is used as a royal ship in the sea, the whole warship is more than 30 zhang long, six zhang wide, the draft is two zhang deep, the normal displacement and full load displacement are more than 7,000 tons, and the horizontal three-cylinder duplex steam engine developed by the Ming Dynasty for the first time is used as a power supply device, the speed is extremely fast, the ship is also equipped with a newly developed breech gun, more than 300 rounds of ammunition, and there are three ship-based torpedo boats, but because electricity has not yet been popularized, so electrification has not kept up, and the searchlight performance is a little worse, But in this era, it is enough to be worthy of the word "Daming".

Gu San Mazi of the South China Sea Fleet personally served as the commander of this fleet, escorting His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and the gunners and sailors were also the best selected from the entire South China Sea Fleet.

On 15 October, under the congratulations of Qu Shiyun, governor of Liangguang, Lu Jiayu, governor of Guangdong and chief officer of the Fourth Army, and other Guangdong officials, Zhu Youxiao and others successively boarded the "Daming" through a temporary wooden ladder.

As soon as Colonel Zhu You boarded the warship, a Yellow Dragon flag was also raised on the mast, hunting and flying in the sea breeze, while Gu San Mazi stood upright on the deck with a group of officers on the ship and waited for Zhu Youxiao to review.

Zhu Youxiao gave a few words, and accompanied by Gu Sanmazi, he entered the three-story cabin composed of the latest composite steel, and the cabin was decorated with a splendid imitation of the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City, and no one was allowed to enter unless summoned by His Majesty, and Gu Sanmazi's command room and the sailor's operation room were on the other side, and the armor outside the cabin could not be penetrated by any giant cannon in this era, which was also to ensure Zhu Youxiao's sufficient safety.

"It's too extravagant, since it's a warship on the sea, it's still necessary to put practicality first", Zhu Youxiao looked at the exquisitely carved algae scenery and various colored mahogany furniture, as well as various colors of glass and enamel, which made people dizzy, and couldn't help but say a few words Gu San Mazi, Gu San Mazi was quite helpless, and secretly complained in his heart: "These are the pots of the Daming Ship Administration, why should I carry them." ”

"Let's go", compared to enjoying the imperial life in the cabin, Zhu Youxiao prefers to stand on the deck and blow the sea breeze, although this will expose the enemy ship's field of vision, but the inland sea of the Ming Dynasty here, if the emperor is not free enough to blow the sea breeze here, then he also owns this sea area in vain.

Despite this, even Gu San Mazi, who was born as a pirate, was still a little nervous, and followed Zhu Youxiao almost for a moment, afraid that when he flew over from nowhere and attacked His Majesty the Emperor of his own family.

And after Zhu Youxiao gave the departure order, Gu San Mazi nodded yes, and then raised his gun and fired a shot into the sky, and then the whistle sounded, and some flag bearers began to dance all kinds of small flags, commanding other auxiliary warships.

The sea breeze became stronger and stronger, and the warship began to move slowly, cutting a huge wave as white as a snowfield on the calm sea, and then swinging up and down slightly, the steel giant ship left the port of Guangzhou.

At this time, two medium-sized steam warships equipped with four machine guns and only one layer of guns sailed out of the harbor one step ahead of the "Daming", and left and right side by side to open the way for the "Daming" in front.

At the same time, the other four warships only began to close their anchors, leaving the harbor after the "Daming" had already traveled half a mile, and followed the "Daming" directly, and always maintained a certain distance.

And I don't know when, two frigates also appeared on both sides of the "Daming", and it can be seen that the naval soldiers in the battle columns on these warships are all elite, skillful in operation, and sharp in sight.

Some of the Western merchant ships temporarily controlled in the port couldn't help but show surprise on their faces, once upon a time, they should be the ones who dominated the sea, and now looking at the scale of the Ming Emperor's voyage, there is no royal dispatch from any Europa country that can have such a scale.

Basically, before the arrival of the "Daming" on which Zhu Youxiao was riding, the two most cutting-edge frigates appeared on the left and right flanks of the port of Macao, and at the same time, the two battalions of the Fourth Army of the Fourth Army of the Land Force, which had been ordered in advance, also rushed to the port to forcibly drive some merchant ships from various countries to other designated docking points, so as to prepare sufficient berthing places for His Majesty the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

By the time Zhu Youxiao arrived in Macao, the entire port of Macao had been put in order, and there was no sign of chaos due to the busy business and trade, and countless Western merchant ships were crowded in the two narrow harbors in the distance, while the majestic Fourth Army troops stood neatly on the port, looking up at Zhu Youxiao on the Daming.

A group of merchants from various countries who were temporarily stationed or resident in Macao also lined up neatly outside the cordon, looking at the demeanor of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao also walked out of the cabin at this time, he hadn't taken a ship for many years, and although he had done adaptation training, he still felt a little dizzy, so he adjusted for a while before coming out.

Looking at the countless Western-style buildings lined up on the coast, and under these buildings, there were Ming soldiers guarding them, and then seeing a row of Western-style buildings kneeling on the shore trembling, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask Gu Sanmazi: "What's going on?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Westerners are afraid of my Daming steam engine ship, and they don't want to find out the secret of my Daming steam engine all the time.

After Gu San Mazi said, Zhu Youxiao didn't think about it, and directly ordered: "Decide everything!" ”

"Order!"

When Zhu Youxiao slowly got off the warship and landed on the coast of Macao, these Westerners were pulled up and driven to the beach, and then a group of Ming gendarmes raised their guns and shot directly at them.

Amid the crackling sound of bullets, these brightly dressed Westerners fell into the sea one after another, floating uncertainly.

"I protest! Protest! You are so barbaric that you dare to shoot our missionaries, and I will propose to Her Majesty that my Royal Navy be mobilized to teach you a lesson! ”

At this time, the Westerners in a cordon suddenly shouted, and Zhu Youxiao looked dressed quite gorgeously, so he asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"It is Namodo, the envoy of the Kingdom of Great Britain, who came to me to ask for explanations and compensation because I shot and killed the baron who sold tobacco and soil, and is now staying in Macao temporarily, preparing to go to Zhaoqing tomorrow to contact the governor of Liangguang."

Gu San Mazi replied.
