Chapter 248: Eager to Learn

If it is said that among the Ming officials who interact with Australians, there is a list of studious people, and Zheng Sen, the national surname, can definitely rank first.

This national hero, who has been fascinated by Australia and will be in the future, is like a child who is eager to learn, and he very much hopes to be guided by a famous teacher, no matter where the teacher comes from, as long as his methods and theories are right, it is good.

And almost everything in Australia can bring him such a judgment, sailless ships, large-caliber guns, long-range firearms, and unbelievable small iron boxes that transmit information for thousands of miles, the magic of these things is too surprising to him.

He is like seeing the fairy treasure in the mythological story, almost all the things mentioned in the legends and myths, the Australians can take it out, this is too incredible, the Australians say that these are just the development of the object, not a new thing, but the Australians have carried out research and continuous exploration on the basis of the inventors of the past generations, and sorted out a set of theories.

The craftsman's craft can also be made into knowledge, this is the first time Zheng Sen has heard someone say this, although the status of craftsmen is a little higher than that of merchants, but after all, it is still not on the table, and no craftsman has ever heard of a craftsman who can develop his craft into a science.

Regardless of whether the craftsman's craft can be developed into a knowledge, Zheng Sen knows that the military family is a science, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the great sages of the past dynasties have passed on the books they have learned all their lives to future generations, and many things are still in use today.

The young man wanted to go to Australia to study, and his father's opposition could not stop him from studying, and even he took the opposition as a driving force, thinking that he would use what he learned from Australians in the future to make his father look at him.

made up his mind, he couldn't control so much, and the closest fourth uncle didn't help him speak this time, and even turned a blind eye to his eyes, which shows that there is basically no hope for his father to agree. It's better to make a desperate bet and go directly to Guangzhou, where my father is not good at forcibly taking him back.

For a guy like Zheng Sen, who was born in a martial arts family. has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and sometimes the successors of the Zheng family in the future will not practice martial arts, and how can he lead a group of martial artists in the future.

Escaping from Fuzhou is easy for a young man like him who has been practicing martial arts all year round. On the second day, he went out with some silver tickets and broken silver on his body, and he didn't even take a change of clothes, so that the future would not arouse suspicion.

After leaving the house, he successfully got rid of the sight of the guards at home, and went directly out of the city all the way south. Went straight to Guangzhou, just walked about ten miles, at a bend, Zheng Sen saw a person riding a jujube red horse from a distance, and the other hand was also holding a horse, this person was none other than the fourth uncle.

"Da Mu, when will you be able to walk to Guangzhou like this, this horse is prepared for you by your uncle." Zheng Sen walked in, and before he could speak, Zheng Hongkui had already spoken.

"Fourth uncle. You. Zheng Sen really couldn't figure out why his uncle was here and gave him a horse, didn't he disagree.

"Is Da Mu wondering why Fourth Uncle didn't agree to your request like your father suggested yesterday?"

Zheng Sen nodded, like a sensible child.

"You understand your father's intentions, he just doesn't want you to be too close to the Australians, the blessings and misfortunes are just a moment, although the Australians have been recognized by the imperial court, but after all, they are overseas countries, and you will inherit the entire Zheng family in the future. If you are too close to Australians, it will inevitably attract gossip. ”

Hearing the words of the fourth uncle, Zheng Sen thought carefully for dozens of seconds, shook his head, and then said to Zheng Hongkui: "Fourth uncle." The strength of the Australians, you and I have seen it, I think that if the Zheng family wants to be undefeated in the future, they must learn all kinds of knowledge in Australia, the method of military training, and the art of shipbuilding. These are all basic, and the nephew's trip to Guangzhou this time can also be regarded as exploring the way for the Zheng family. ”

Zheng Sen is right, although he is thirsty for learning in Australia, but at the same time, he is also exploring a way for the Zheng family, don't look at the current Zheng family's strong soldiers, it can almost be said that it is the emperor of Fujian, that is actually because the imperial court put too much energy on the north and the civil unrest, and can't take care of it, once these things are dealt with, the Zheng family will be attacked by civil and military officials.

If they can successfully find another way, the Zheng family will have more security in the future, which Zheng Hongkui also knows very well, and the truth of the tree is not that he doesn't understand it, but he doesn't want to think about it.

"Da Mu, it's very good that you have this kind of thought, the Zheng family seems to be strong at the moment, if the imperial court really wants to deal with us, it is actually easy, if we have the strength of Australia, we don't have to be afraid, you can go to Guangzhou to study with peace of mind, and I will explain it to you from your father."

Zheng Hongkui is the most resourceful one among Zheng Zhilong's younger brothers, and Zheng Sen's consideration can certainly think that the Zheng family and the Australians were beaten in a fierce battle at sea without the power to fight back, which can fully show that the Australians have a strong military strength, and the soldiers are well-trained, and it can be said that it is a treasure to learn the training methods of such an army.

Even if there are any changes in the future, the Zheng family can live safely, and will not be slaughtered by others, the Zheng family, which started as a half-merchant and half-pirate, understands the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit better than others.

Although the Zheng family claims to have 100,000 people, but what is the real strength, several members of the Zheng family are the most clear in their hearts, originally the Australians did not appear, and they always thought that there were almost no invincible opponents in the East China Sea, even the Hongmaoyi people did not please them, but the appearance of the Australians completely broke their dreams.

This is an opponent who is more powerful than the Hongmaoyi people, whether it is a ship or a weapon, it is not comparable to the Zheng family, and the more important thing is that they almost challenged half of the Zheng family's sea power with just one ship, and they won, it is estimated that not many people will believe this kind of thing, but this is indeed the truth.

Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhilong's hearts are not unclear, so Zheng Sen just turned a blind eye to the private purchase of Australian firecrackers, but if he went to study with Australians, he would inevitably attract gossip to the Zheng family in the future.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Zheng Zhilong disagreed, but in fact, he was struggling in his heart, so he sent his fourth brother out of the city and waited on the road that his son had to pass, of course, all this Zheng Hongkui would not tell Zheng Sen that his father was actually hesitant in his heart, and sent himself.

Of course, Zheng Hongkui couldn't say this, saying that it would be embarrassing for their father and son to meet in the future, so he could only say that he would explain it for him, looking at the back of riding away from the horse, Zheng Hongkui hugged his short beard and said to himself: "Da Mu hopes that you can learn something here."
