Chapter 289
As the ship sailed out of the port of Hamburg, the seagulls soared around the mast, chirping once or twice from time to time.
Under the clear blue sky, a ship is moving forward with black smoke on the blue sea.
They're going to South America, to Buenos Aires. It was the paradise of their dreams, the last isolated island to escape the tyranny of the Ming Dynasty.
After leaving the port of Hamburg, there was no interest in drinking on the deck. They all entered the cabin, and the ship had to sail for more than 20 days. It's time to start adapting to the boring life at sea!
Kong Tingxun was the last to step off the deck, his cabin on the upper deck, just like his position on this ship.
Wife Hannah is getting ready for the night dance!
The child was lying quietly in the cradle, a pair of dark eyes looking around.
He was a very beautiful boy with dark eyes and black hair. However, the skin is very white, and the bridge of the nose is also very straight.
Laugh like an angel!
Kong Tingxun has little interest in the ball, and he cherishes his children even more. This is my own blood in a foreign country!
"You're not going to the ball tonight?"
"No, I'll stay with the kids."
"What a pity! You won't learn to dance, don't you Ming people dance? ”
"Uh......!" Kong Tingxun really hasn't danced, and it seems that no one around him dances.
In Daming, most of the people who can sing and dance are aliens.
There were Mongols, Koreans, and even Wa people who submitted to the Ming Dynasty.
There are also Weiwuer people from the Western Regions!
As for the dancing of the people on the Burmese side of Cochin, there is really nothing to see.
Kong Tingxun thought about it very solemnly, it is true that the Ming people are not very good at singing and dancing. Occasionally, there are some good singing and dancing, and most of them are odd numbers.
This may have something to do with the policy of the Ming Dynasty, except for the brothel in the Ming Dynasty, there are no more people raising dancing girls and singers.
The jobs in this industry were completely robbed by the aliens who came to Daming to make a living.
Daming doesn't even encourage this industry, but those down-and-out literati in Daming like to write songs and choreograph.
Over the years, a lot of good songs and choreographed dances have been created, and they all look good. The people who can choreograph, write songs and compose music are all Ming people, and those who stand on the stage and perform are all aliens.
Blondes and blue-eyed people have it!
As long as he wants a big name, Kong Tingxun likes to watch children. If Kong Youde sees this grandson, he doesn't know what to be happy about.
But he couldn't see it!
Kong Tingxun knew that he would never be able to return to the Ming Dynasty in his life, and it would be absolutely impossible for him to have any contact with the Kong family. If the Ming people know that they are still alive, it will definitely affect the entire Confucian family.
Although Kong Tingxun turned his back on the Ming Dynasty and betrayed his country. But he was unwilling to betray his ancestors!
The love for his ancestors may be Kong Tingxun's final bottom line.
The time in a daze was long, and before I knew it, it was night.
A grand dinner was held on board to celebrate that they were finally about to run towards their dreams. Run to their own free country!
Kong Tingxun didn't have much appetite, and after dinner, he didn't participate in the ball, but went back to his cabin, looked at the child, and read the book quietly.
This is the book of the Ming Dynasty that he bought at a high price from a Japanese merchant!
It is about the rise and fall of the two countries, and it is very well written. It's just that the name is a little strange, "The Stone Story".
It is said that it is because the story is carved in stone!
Looking at it, Kong Tingxun fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I found myself covered with a blanket.
The wife slept on the bed with the child in her arms, making a burst of snoring.
Kong Tingxun washed his face and walked out of the cabin, at this time he really wanted to go to the deck to blow the wind.
It was very windy on deck, but the weather was fine. There are only a few white clouds floating in the sky, and if you are lucky, at least you won't encounter too much wind and waves.
Even though it is a 7,000-ton cruise ship, it is still very bumpy if it encounters strong winds and waves.
Standing on the deck, I couldn't see any shadow of the land, not even the coastline.
There were no more seagulls circling around the mast, not a single bird on the sea.
"Mr. Hans, we are already on the North Atlantic route.
Once we've crossed the British coast, we're heading south. It's going to get hotter and hotter! Captain Smith walked over and said with a smile at Kong Tingxun.
"Smith, we're about to run to a free world. Freedom is so important! Kong Tingxun nodded.
In fact, he doesn't think freedom bullshit. What is always wanted is that he is far away from Daming, and no one knows his identity and background anymore.
"Mr. Hans, you are also a Ming man, do you mean that you are also afraid of the Ming people?" Smith was a little strange, there were always rumors of the brutality of the Ming people in Germany.
But the Ming man in front of him seemed gentle and elegant, without the slightest tendency to violence.
"Smith!
The Ming people are actually very good, they are humble, hardworking, and courteous.
But the Ming people have a very powerful generalissimo, and what this generalissimo wants to do is to conquer the world.
The conquest of the world, including, of course, Germany.
Those who remained in Germany would encounter an unprecedented war. A war that can destroy Germany!
And we have run towards freedom, to a new life. ”
"Oh, that's horrible!" Smith shrugged his shoulders, and Kong's words were similar to what he had heard.
"Ambition! The ambition of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty is too great, and he also needs a large number of people who follow him to satisfy his ambitions.
They have spread war all over the world, and before Europe they have invaded India, Cyrenaica, and the Middle East.
If it weren't for the poverty of Africa, they would have gone. Kong Tingxun held the railing in his hand and looked at the endless sea.
"What do you think is that, Mr. Hans?" Suddenly, Smith pointed to the sky.
In the sky, a few black dots are appearing on the horizon. After a while, Kong Tingxun heard the sound of the engine.
Kong Tingxun's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he was sure that these planes were not flying for fun.
"Full speed ahead and shake off these damn planes." Kong Tingxun gave orders hysterically.
He also didn't want to think about how a ship running on the sea could be faster than an airplane?
"Yes...... Okay, Mr. Hans. Smith hurried back onto the slipway and gave the order to the chief engineer to go full speed.
But no matter how much the cruise ship increases its speed, it is not a level of existence compared to airplanes.
The plane, not far from the cruise ship, dropped a torpedo.
Kong Tingxun watched as the torpedo rushed straight to the side of the cruise ship with a white wake.
He knew what it was, the weapon of naval warfare in the arsenal of the Ming Dynasty - torpedoes!
