Quanzhou.

Located in the harbor outside Quanzhou City, it is Quanzhou Port that Quanzhou people know, built more than 10 years ago, this port, is not open to Quanzhou fishermen, Quanzhou people's wharf is nearby.

For more than ten years, the marine school in this port has enrolled a lot of young children from Quanzhou, so it is not surprising that Quanzhou people are not surprised. Moreover, everyone who graduated from the marine school joined the fleet, so the word "traveling around the world" is not unfamiliar to the ears of Quanzhou people.

From here, silk porcelain from the Central Plains was shipped to Silla, Wa and other places, which can be described as the first port of the Maritime Silk Road. The prosperity of port trade has made Quanzhou City extremely prosperous, and it is not surprising to see a few bearded and red-haired people on the street.

On this day, a man dressed as a Confucian student stepped into the harbor and was immediately stopped by the guards of the Marine School standing guard.

"Who is coming, there is the approval of the Quanzhou Thorn History here, and idlers are not allowed to enter at will!"

Confucian smiled slightly, bowed his hand, and said, "Hehe, student Ge Liang wants to ask to see Mr. Gongyi." ”

The guard still refused, and said, "Mr. Gong is very busy, can you see him when you see him?" Let's go, if you don't leave, I'll call the school guard, it's not illegal to beat you! ”

Confucian Sheng still had a smile on his face and said, "Why don't you report it, if he doesn't see him, it's not too late for you to beat me again!" ”

The guard was stunned, could it be that this person was some relative of the principal? With such a question, he was suddenly frightened, so he snorted lightly and said, "You wait here, don't come in, I'll give you a message!" ”

Confucius smiled slightly: "Little brother is good!" A certain self will not wander around. ”

Thereupon. The guard walked towards the school, and the Confucian only smiled. He's here once a year, and that's what happens. It's just that his identity is inconvenient to disclose. Otherwise, it saves a lot of trouble.

In a short time, the guard hurried out, and without saying a word, opened the door and made way of the way. The Confucian student smiled slightly, ignored it, and went directly to the school.

The Ocean School occupies a large area. The main reason is that there is a shipyard inside, and Mr. Kotsu's residence is next to the workshop, so that he can easily guide shipbuilders at any time. Confucian scholars walked briskly all the way. Familiar with the road, they soon came to a small courtyard next to the factory.

The servant was already waiting at the door, and Confucius smiled and said, "Is Mr. Gongyi here?" ”

The servant bowed and replied, "Sir is waiting in the study, please come with the slave and maid!" ”

Forthwith. Confucius followed the servant into the courtyard. There are no flowers and trees in the yard, and there are strange wooden things piled up everywhere, which look extremely messy.

Soon, Confucian stepped into the study, and saw an old man with white hair fiddling with Lu Banmu, and the people who could play with Lu Banmu were very proficient in mathematics, so he could only sigh for Confucian students.

"Student Ge Liang has seen Mr. Gongyi!" Confucian Sheng bowed.

The old man said slowly: "There is a chair over there, sit down." The decay is done quickly! ”

Ge Liang saw that the old man was having a good time, so he had to sit down first. Nowadays, the chair has become a popular seat in Da Zhou, so it is no longer surprising compared to more than ten years ago.

I only heard a "click", and the old man closed the last piece of wood, then stood up, looked at Ge Liang, and nodded: "I haven't seen you for half a year, why did you come again?" ”

Ge Liang stood up again, took out a secret letter from his arms, handed it to the old man, and said, "This is a secret letter from His Royal Highness, and I want to hand it over to Mr." ”

The old man took the letter, and when he saw that the fire paint on the letter was intact, he tore off the fire paint, took out the letter, read it slowly, and after a while, he said: "The old man knows!" ”

Ge Liang was stunned in his heart, is this the end? Although he did not know the contents of the letter, it must have been a big deal. But he was only the head of the Quanzhou Intelligence Station, and his identity was sensitive and he couldn't ask questions, so he got up and said goodbye.

After Ge Liang went out, the old man stroked his long beard and said to himself: "After twenty years of old shipbuilding, those warships are finally used!" ”

Immediately, the old man shouted, "Anu! ”

After a while, the servant stepped into the study, bowed down, and said, "Sir, what do you have to call Anu?" ”

The old man said: "You go to Ryukyu Island in person, give this letter to General Gintama, I believe he will understand after reading it, and by the way, tell Da Lang to return to Hong Kong and wait for his life!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Anu bowed, then took the letter, put it in his arms, and bowed out of the study.

When the old man saw a model of a warship on the case, he couldn't help but fall into thought, and then he took the model and said to himself: "If the warship can be wrapped in iron sheets, its weight will inevitably increase, and manpower and wind can no longer push it, how can it be pushed?" What should His Highness say about a steel battleship? ”

The old man stared at the model of the warship and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Ryukyu Island.

On the tall and majestic city, a big man in armor stopped and stared at the endless sea in the distance, and there was a touch of loneliness in his eyes, an endless loneliness.

Stationed in the Ryukyus for several years, this iron-blooded tough guy from the grassland is still not used to this misty scenery after all, and he still has such a life like a mountain king.

Of course, the name Tsuneyuki has also been erased from people's memories and disappeared from this world many years ago. Today, his name is "Gintama", and the people on the island call him General Gintama.

Because, when he went to sea to fight pirates, he wore a silver mask, and because he had the style of a general, he was invincible, so that the pirates in the nearby waters disappeared. Keeping an island safe also makes the offshore trade routes unimpeded. Call it a "general" as a sign of respect.

Standing at the head of the city, the black-toothed Changzhi said to himself: "Your Highness, when will a certain family be able to go to the battlefield, and when will you be able to repay your kindness?" ”

At this time, a sea ship came to the port, and when a person came down, he went straight to the castle, and the black-toothed Changzhi only glanced at it, and then looked at the sea again.

But not long after, a soldier came, bowed down and said, "General, someone has brought you a letter from Mr. Gongyi of the Ocean School." ”

The black tooth was often stunned, and then said, "That person didn't say anything?" ”

The soldier said, "The man was just a slave and didn't say anything." ”

The black-toothed Changzhi said, "Call him up!" ”

The soldier wanted to say what if the servant was an assassin, after all, General Gintama was very famous in this area, and there were many assassins among those pirates. But when he thought of the slave with the face of the servant, he went down to the city.

After a short time, the soldier led the servant to come, and after some courtesy inquiries, the black-toothed Changzhi took the letter, read it carefully, and then smiled, and said, "Reward him for his consistency, and summon all the captains to gather in the Zhongyi Hall!" (To be continued......)
