"I can't stand it, isn't it just going to the United States, it's like parting with life and death, and it's not like I won't come back." Li Mo stood on the deck, scratching his head, only to find that he didn't even have a hair on his head, so he had to pout his lips stupidly.

Long Guozhang and Chen Ping next to him were full of black lines, there was no way, their thinking jumped too much, and they couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, so they had to play haha and dodge.

Li Mo couldn't help it, showing that because of the braids, he was nagged by Li Fu for two whole days, and he finally had to go out, and because the loyal old housekeeper was not at ease, he had to let the little girl take care of him, and let him bring Zhao Long, but Zhao Long had won the young master's new training outline, and Li Mo repeatedly told him to explain, so his mind flew away. As for Li Qiang, the day after he got the special forces manual, he took the two people he selected and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, and even the ghost shadow was gone.

So in the end, I can only drag Du Dazhuang, the new guard, according to Li Fu's private statement, this kid is tall, honest and cute, at least he can help block bullets!

What kind of people are they!

Li Mo had no choice but to bring Du Dazhuang with him, but the little girl was too small to eat with her, so she was ruthless, didn't look at the big watery eyes, and refused.

When he finally went out, Li Fu also took everyone with him, the young master on the left was careful, and the young master on the right was careful, and he reluctantly sent out a few miles of land, which allowed Li Mo to get out.

"Hey." sighed, watching the freighter rushing down the river, Li Mo bent his waist and hid on the bridge, but as soon as he entered, he saw that Chen Ping, led by Chen Ping, was queuing up for a few guys who followed him to the United States, waiting for Long Guozhang to get a haircut himself.

The first to get a haircut was Du Dazhuang, this kid was originally reluctant to cut his braids, but Li Mo threatened to expel him from the guard team and send him back to his hometown, so he twisted and pinched and was dragged to cut off his braids.

Seeing that the braids were cut, Du Dazhuang was almost about to cry, holding the braids and hiding in the corner alone.

"Well, it's time to cut it!"

Looking at Du Dazhuang, who was crying bitterly, Li Mo took a deep breath, but did not persuade, because he knew that this was a painful process, and it was also necessary, and it was the road that he and those who chased him had to take, and this scissors cut not only the Great Qing Kingdom, but also the century-old humiliation that broke the hearts of all Chinese.

Two tall masts were hung with sails, and the steamboat went down the wind very fast, and after just one day, it reached the famous Vancouver Island, Li Mo stood on the deck, looking at the big island in the distance, and his eyes extended to the south.

It is said that Liang Qichao's footprints once went to the waters of present-day Victoria Harbor, and if he could have traveled a little further north at that time, he might have been the first Chinese celebrity to reach Alaska.

Do you want to wait for Liang Qichao there? Young Master Li snapped his fingers and quickly gave up, and now Comrade Lao Liang is probably not a few years older than himself, and when he arrives here, he still doesn't know the Year of the Monkey.

What's the use of waiting for him? With his current eyes, can he see the value of this bitter cold place located at the northernmost tip of the Pacific Ocean? Or let the Qing Kingdom also pay tens of millions of dollars to buy the whole of Alaska? You know, even the Americans themselves did not upgrade this land to an official state until 1959, and now even the gold rush has not even begun.

"Young master, it's Vancouver ahead, should we go over and have a look?" Chen Ping and Long Guozhang, who had already cut off their braids, had been standing behind Li Mo, silently looking at this weak figure, staring at the big island in the distance, and suddenly there was an indescribable feeling, until the boat was getting farther and farther, and then hurriedly asked.

"No need." Li Mo shook his head, and sighed in his heart, if God can let him travel through a few decades, maybe the person who bought Alaska is himself.

"The human heart is insufficient!"

The corners of his mouth glanced slightly, and after smiling self-deprecatingly, Li Mo put away his binoculars, thinking that Long Guozhang was about to return to China, and his identity as a criminal was very embarrassing, so he was a little worried and said to Long Guozhang, who was still wearing big pigtails: "Brother Guozhang, do you want Zhang Shun to accompany you back?" ”

Long Guozhang shook his head and said decisively: "Thank you young master for your concern, but if you want to arrest me Long Guozhang, I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”

Seeing that Long Guozhang was so confident, Li Mo had no choice but to nod and continued: "Then I will leave the matter of recruitment to you." ”

Long Guozhang was about to speak, Chen Ping had already added on the side: "In my opinion, we can't just think about recruitment, but also think about the future, so Guozhang will go back this time, it is better to contact Fuzhou and Nanyang to see if we can gather some useful people." ”

"It's still Yuanshou who can see far away." Long Guozhang patted Chen Ping on the shoulder in admiration and said, "Young Master, although Yuanshou can rest assured, Guozhang will live up to his mission." ”

"Hehe, find more people, otherwise no one will the ironclad I promised you!" Li Mo suddenly smiled and blinked.

"Ironclad!" As soon as he heard this word, not only Long Guozhang, but even Chen Ping's eyes lit up, in this big era, perhaps only ironclad giant ships and rumbling cannons and drums can make a man's heart move.

"My battleship dreams!" Facing the two people who were already outside the gods, Li Mo smiled bitterly, even if he could build the battleship of his dreams, where should he stop?

Is it possible to soak in the sea every day?

A few days later, flying the Union Jack and under the cover of Thomas, everyone soon arrived in San Francisco, the most famous city in the western United States.

The port of San Francisco in 1889 was far less prosperous than that of later generations, and most of the calm seas were filled with fishing boats and some cargo ships flying the American flag.

Soon, the boat docked the famous Fisherman's Wharf in later generations, and as its name suggests, it was really crowded with all kinds of small fishing boats, watching Long Guozhang and his men skillfully throw the cable mooring case, Li Yunfei had nothing to do, leisurely watching the fishmongers bargain and fight for the red face.

And they came to greet Li Mo were the tax and customs officers stationed at the wharf, which were far less powerful than in later generations, not to mention that the main energy of the Americans at this time was still concentrated in the east and Europe, which can be seen from the throughput of the port of San Francisco at this moment.

The tax was calculated according to the tonnage of the ship, although it was curious why the British ship came around from the Pacific Ocean, but in view of Thomas's British status, these people only doubted the number of Chinese on board for a few words and left, it seems that the sign of the British Empire is still very loud at this moment.

There are a lot of Chinese in San Francisco, which can be seen from the disembarkation, they are still wearing braids and walking on the road very eye-catching, but Li Mo and his party have become outliers in the eyes of the Chinese anyway because they have cut off their hair.

Soon, Long Guozhang, who had completed the coal filling and purchased some supplies, set sail, looking at the steamboat that was gradually moving away, Li Yunfei's heart rose like a tide, and he took a deep breath.

Turning his head, he said to Thomas next to him: "Thomas, is there any way I can become a British citizen immediately?" ”

A few black lines hung down from Thomas's head.
