Zhu Yujiao didn't expect Luo Jian to agree to her after thinking about it for a while, and she was so happy that she immediately sent someone to Hangzhou to inform Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu.

Luo Jian actually had a lot of headaches about the annexation of a large number of fields in the past, and the most serious land annexation was in Zhejiang, and Zhejiang had the most land occupied by Zhu Changshu, and now seeing that Zhu Changshu wanted to exchange these lands for a warship, he couldn't ask for it.

Zhu Changshu, who got the news, personally rushed to Nanjing to find Luo Jian.

Zhu Changshu knew that the warship he wanted could not be as big as the "Queen of the East", so he did not dare to think of the "Yue Fei" and the two warships that had just been launched, and it was too late to build a new warship.

"King Lu, what do you think of the 'Wei Qing'?" Luo Jian asked.

"Of course, the 'Wei Qing' is good, but as far as I know, the power on the 'Wei Qing' is quite inferior to that of the 'Huo Quai', the Metropolitan Governor, can you?"

Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, obviously knew a lot about the several warships existing in the Nanjing government, and also knew that the "Huo Quai" had replaced the steam engine for ocean voyages, so he liked the "Huo Quai".

"Hehe, this doesn't matter, we will make some modifications to the 'Wei Qing', and also leave a special layer for you, and the power system will also be replaced with the same as the 'Huo Quai', what do you think?"

Luo Jian smiled, although the "Huo Quai" and the "Wei Qing" are brother ships, but the guns of the "Huo Quai" have been replaced, and they will all be replaced with more advanced guns one after another, and then toss repeatedly, but Luo Jian is unwilling.

Hearing Luo Jian say this, Zhu Changshu could accept it, and the matter was quickly settled. After the transformation, the "Weiqing" will be renamed "Luwang". It is directly owned by Zhu Changshu personally.

Zheng Chenggong, who returned from the trial, was very busy. The two newly built warships have been launched, and the two battleships that have just been launched have been named "Ran Min" and "Qi Jiguang".

Qi Jiguang is familiar to everyone, but Ran Min during the Five Dynasties and Sixteen Kingdoms period is a national hero forgotten by history.

Ran Min lived in the darkest period in the history of the Han nation in the "Five Hu Chaohua", where the Xiongnu, Qian and other ethnic armies went, slaughtered the city and plundered thousands of miles, slaughtered tens of millions of Han people in the Central Plains, and the entire north was almost empty, with ten rooms and nine empty. The miserable plight of the Han people can be seen. There are at least four or five million Han people left in the north, and at this time, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Di, and Qiang in the north have reached as many as five or six million, and the population has already surpassed the Han people.

Ran Min is most famous for the "Hu Killing Order" he promulgated, and as soon as the "Hu Killing Order" came out, the ethnic minorities who were in the spring breeze were greatly hit. Not only did the minority rulers temporarily give up their ambition to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty and destroy the Han people, but more importantly, they forced the minority rulers to change their ruling strategy, no longer blindly slaughtering the Han people, but seeking to cooperate with the Han people to maintain their rule, so that the Han people got a respite. It did not fall like other ancient civilizations, and the Chinese nation, the carrier of Han culture, was preserved. The Han culture has continued to be carried forward, and in this sense, Ran Min can be called the savior of the Chinese nation.

Luo Jian knew that because Ran Min was called the emperor himself, he was not recognized by his ancestors in that time and space, so he was not included in the ranks of national heroes, but Ran Min made great contributions to the Chinese nation, and he was really the first hero in the history of the Han nation.

It was Shi Kefa who proposed to name Ran Min, and Luo Jian even heard of this name for the first time, and when Shi Kefa told Ran Min's deeds, Luo Jian agreed without hesitation.

The "Ran Min" and "Qi Jiguang" warships are the sister ships of the "Yue Fei", and there are no more innovations in technology, Zheng Chenggong still regards the modified "Yue Fei" as his flagship, and has been taking several warships with the "Oriental Queen" for joint training in the coastal waters during this time.

The largest fleet is about to sail away, and Luo Jian and Shi Kefa are busy with the whole government, and all work is carried out with this as the focus.

On the one hand, it was to escort Zhu Yujiao's fleet, and on the other hand, it was necessary to transport personnel and materials to the Hawaiian Islands, and at the same time, at the request of Liu Weimin and Liu Lan, they had to harvest some rubber in South America.

Since the middle of May, the wharves in Zhenjiang, Hangzhou, and Taizhou have begun to be busy, and a large number of materials have begun to be loaded on ships, and the number of people sent by this long-distance voyage is not too many, only more than 3,000 people, and a large number of them are materials, and there are more than a dozen steam engines of various types alone.

After Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, learned that Zhu Changshu had exchanged his land for a warship, he was also very moved, but the Nanjing government no longer sold him a warship, so he had no choice but to spend money to ask the Nanjing government to renovate one of his merchant ships, change it to be similar to the "Luwang", and install artillery to be satisfied.

Under Luo Jian's suggestion, Zhu Yujiao's ************ did not arrange a large number of official positions, only set up a dozen positions, and waited until everything in North America was settled, and then made other considerations.

On June 18, Luo Jian and Liu Lan got up very early, and came to Zhenjiang Wharf early with their escorts, at this time the Zhenjiang Wharf was already crowded, and when Luo Jian and Liu Lan arrived, Shi Kefa and Ren Minyu and other key government personnel had already arrived.

The Nanjing garrison had already set up a cordon on the dock, and in the cordon, Luo Jian saw Zhu Yujiao, who was dressed in a dragon robe, hugging Zhu Cihuan and crying, Wang Duo and a group of people standing next to him, a complete set of the emperor's honor guards had stopped in the port, and the Daming dragon flag flying high on the "Queen of the East" was waving in the wind.

Luo Jian and Shi Kefa walked towards Zhu Yuanjiao, Zhu Cihuan saw it first, gently pushed Zhu Yuanjiao, who was crying darkly, and said, "Sister, most of them are here." ”

Liu Lan stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe Zhu Yujiao's tears, and gently hugged her into her arms.

"Aunt Liu, sister, don't cry, it's really Cihuan who doesn't want to be the emperor, which makes my sister have to bear such a big responsibility, but sister don't worry, when I get the electric light out, I will definitely send someone to send it to my sister as soon as possible." Zhu Cihuan also said with tears in his eyes.

"My sister doesn't want your electric light, my sister just needs you to marry a wife and have children earlier, and wait for you to have an heir. I don't have to bear this burden either. Zhu Yujiao cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain. Luo Jian and Shi Kefa were a little reluctant to see it.

"Don't worry. We won't leave you alone, and when you encounter difficulties, send someone back to tell us that we will definitely help you. Luo Jian stepped forward and said softly.

Zhu Yujiao broke out of Liu Lan's arms, walked to Luo Jian and Shi Kefa in two steps and bowed down, Wang Duo looked at it next to her and was a little dissatisfied.

Liu Lan came over and helped Zhu Yujiao up from the ground, Zhu Yujiao still blessed Luo Jian and Shi Kefa a few blessings, and then cried and said:

"Uncle Luo, Uncle Shi, uncles. I just want to rest assured that we will never lose face to our Chinese people, we will never embarrass our Han people, and we will never be enemies of China, and you will always be a good uncle. ”

Hearing Zhu Yujiao's words, Shi Kefa, Ren Minyu and the others' eyes were already red, and Luo Jian also had all kinds of feelings in his heart.

"The auspicious time has arrived, please come aboard the ship." Wang Duo took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Yujiao and said.

Several dressed palace maids stepped forward to support Zhu Yujiao. The time of parting has finally arrived.

Zheng Chenggong and Lu Wei, who were both dressed in naval uniforms, ran in front of Luo Jian and Shi Kefa, and both raised their hands in salute. Zheng Chenggong shouted loudly:

"Report to the Governor and Governor, the fleet is all ready, whether to set off, please instruct!"

Luo Jian replied with a solemn military salute and said, "Let's go!" ”

With Luo Jian's order, a long firecracker sound sounded on the dock, and several warships also sounded a long whistle, and in the sound of firecrackers, the "Yue Fei" took the lead in slowly leaving the dock and sailing towards the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Immediately behind the "Yue Fei" was the "Queen of the East", Zhu Yujiao stood on the main deck, reluctant to enter the cabin for a long time, only watching the people seeing off from the bow of the ship, waving her only arm constantly.

Luo Jian, Shi Kefa and the others stood on the pier, watching the last boat leave and sail into the Yangtze River.

"Uncle Luo, am I useless? Let my sister take on such a big responsibility? Zhu Cihuan stood at the front and bid farewell to the fleet, and then returned to Luo Jian's side and asked.

"Cihuan, you are wrong, what you are doing now is not less than my sister's responsibility at all, but the meaning is different, the better you do here, the more support we can give to my sister, you have to work hard." Luo Jian touched Zhu Cihuan's head and said lovingly.

"Uncle Luo, I will work hard, but can I still see my sister in my life?" Saying this, Zhu Cihuan's eyes were also red.

"Hehe, Cihuan, let me tell you, when we are familiar with this route, it will only take more than a month to go to North America, and when science and technology progress in the future, we will be able to arrive faster, think about it, when General Qin Liangyu entered King Qin from Sichuan, he walked for more than two months. When you want to go to see your sister at that time, it's much more convenient than that. ”

Luo Jian told the truth, at this time, land transportation was very inconvenient, with the size of China, it was common for some officials to take office in the past and go for a few months.

The fleet went out of the sea, led by the "Yue Fei" all the way, and joined the waiting fleets of Zhu Changshu and Zhu Yihai off the coast of Hangzhou and Taizhou, and more than 30 large ships began to sail towards the depths of the ocean.

"Xinghua, we have finally completed a big thing, but whether I can stand up to it when I get there, I am still not sure in my heart." On the way back to Nanjing, Shi Kefa rode on his horse and said to Luo Jian.

"Hehe, Brother Xian, you are really worried, with the help of Damu, it must be no problem to stand still, the problem is whether they can develop well, Yu Jiao is a smart child, she has been asking me and Liu Lan for advice during this time, don't underestimate her." Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Well, that's good, we will send a fleet to the United States in the future, I will always want to know their situation." Shi Kefa said.

"Brother Xian, let me tell you a secret, there are big gold mines on the South American and North American continents, and now there is no owner, don't you move?" Luo Jian patted his horse and approached Shi Kefa and said quietly.

"Xinghua, you're not fooling me, are you? Is there such a good thing? Shi Kefa asked with some disbelief.

"Of course I won't blame you, it's just that we can't take care of our energy now, and when the national problem is solved, I will start arranging this matter, and by then, they will definitely have a foothold." Luo Jian said affirmatively.

"Xinghua, when you talk about this, shouldn't our offensive against the Manchus begin?" Shi Kefa asked in a low voice. (To be continued.) )
