Chapter 355: Zheng He, Set Sail!

Xiao Jing took the information and ran all the way.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Huai has found out the news that those foreigners who bought the blueprints of the ironclad ship are hiding on a very poor island."

"What poor island?"

Zhu Qizhen's face was full of doubts, where is this?

Xiao Jing said cautiously, "That's what Gonggong Huai said......

"Did he eat enough, and what kind of dumb riddle did he play with me?"

Zhu Qizhen was very angry and said, "Since everything has been confirmed, why don't you arrest someone?"

"Back to the emperor, Gonggong Huai specially instructed the slaves and maids that if they act rashly, they are afraid of startling the snakes, or wait for those foreigners to find out the details of those foreigners, or wait for those foreigners to come into contact with Cao Dejin, and then it is not too late to do it."

"Well, what he said makes sense, so let's go check it out!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then said, "What is a very poor island?"

Xiao Jing smiled on his face and said, "This ...... The slave and the maid don't know ......."

Zhu Qizhen said helplessly: "The people of Dongchang are trying their best to find out where that very poor island is!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Jing bowed and retreated, and immediately went to arrange manpower and began the unannounced visit.

Don't look at this person's youth, but his mind is extremely meticulous, if you talk about work efficiency, it is definitely top-notch.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to sit in the position of the boss of the East Factory at a young age.

On that day, the elite of the East Factory quickly dressed up and wandered the market to find out where the so-called poor island was.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't figure it out for a while, so he simply came to the shipyard again, where he could at least provide some technical support to the craftsmen.

Although he didn't know how to build a ship, as the saying goes, he hadn't eaten pork, and he hadn't seen a pig run?

In later generations, I have seen the videos of aircraft carriers, and it is not easy to make some suggestions to ironclads!

At the very least, the advanced ideas in his head will inspire the shipyard craftsmen and support them to continue their research.

The day of the next sea trial is getting closer and closer, and all preparations are being carried out intensively.

The fully renovated ironclad ship was launched again, this time, the fuel compartment was fully loaded, and what I wanted was to see how endurance was.

-----------------

Wynne's undercover career continues, but everyone's eyes on him have changed.

For this, he didn't bother to explain.

Anyway, just to investigate the case, it won't be long after, so you can see what you like!

Wang Fusheng didn't know what was going on, but he just felt that everyone was looking at him...... Why is it weird?

It was a look of curiosity and a touch of sympathy.

In the following days, Huaien consciously or unintentionally mentioned the very poor island, but Wang Fusheng did not react, and the events of that night seemed to have been forgotten for a long time.

Wynne couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, what the hell is going on with this guy, does he have to drink it again before he remembers something?

However, when he invited everyone to drink again, no one came.

Everyone is either about to give birth to a wife, or has a stomachache, anyway, for all kinds of reasons.

Only Wang Fusheng agreed, but was dragged away by Zhang Laoliu.

Wynne was helpless, these people began to alienate themselves, and it was even more difficult to find out the news.

Or...... Just don't pretend?

I am the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, the boss of the East Factory, today you have to recruit, if you don't, you have to recruit!

Just when he was thinking about whether to identify himself, the opportunity came!

On this day, Cao Dejin received a group of foreigners.

The Cao family's house was very large, and the first entrance was for the subordinates and boatmen, and Huaien lived here.

The second is the living room, and the third is the bedroom and the female dependent.

Therefore, when the foreigners entered the door, Wynne saw it clearly.

It's just that he doesn't know if these people are the masterminds, and he doesn't dare to act rashly for the time being.

The drawings of the ironclad ship must not be leaked, if you want to shoot, you must catch them all, otherwise, there will be endless troubles!

These foreigners and Cao Dejin were old acquaintances, and soon reached an agreement to transport a shipload of goods to the sea.

This time, Wynne became the bookkeeper who followed the ship.

As for where it will be transported, it is not clear for the time being, only the ship boss knows.

Huai En was not in a hurry, first found an opportunity to pass on the information, and told Xiao Jing to bring a ship and follow him from afar, and he would definitely be able to find the lair of foreigners.

For some reason, when Zhang Laoliu and the others learned that Huai En was going to follow the ship, they all chose ...... Stomach aches!

Wang Fusheng was willing to follow the boat, but that night, he was beaten and his stomach hurt.

"Fusheng, don't blame the sixth brother, the sixth brother does this for your good!"

"For my good...... You're beating me for my own good?"

"This...... You don't understand ......."

"Zhang Lao Liu, I'll fight with you!"

-----------------

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, and we can conduct a sea trial tomorrow morning!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "This ship is a symbol of the Ming Dynasty's entry into the steam age, let everyone go and see it, spread my will, Zhejiang Bu Political Envoy Division, Ningbo Mansion and all officials above the fourth grade, all must participate!"

"Yes!"

Jin Ying agreed, but did not rush to leave, but said, "Your Majesty, please give this ship a name!"

Only then did Zhu Qizhen think that this ship ...... No name yet!

The world knows it as an ironclad, as if these three words have become its name.

If used as a separate ship name, the three words ironclad ship are indeed very good.

Think about it, wrapped in iron armor all over the body, how domineering!

But when the second ironclad comes out, what should it be called?

There should be a name......

Zhu Qizhen pondered carefully, then raised his head and said, "It's called Zheng He!"

Jin Ying was stunned for a moment, and then her face was overjoyed.

"Slave and maid, let's get ready!"

He thought that the emperor would give a lofty name, for example, Jiaolong, Xuanwu, General and the like, but Zheng He ......

The original Three Treasures eunuch went to the West seven times and made immortal achievements for the Ming Dynasty.

Rao is so, his identity is still a eunuch.

Eunuchs have no heirs, no incense, and will soon be forgotten by this world.

If it weren't for the emperor's construction of the Martyrs' Shrine and the posthumous recognition of Zheng He as a meritorious minister, to this day, few people have mentioned this person again.

In the future, perhaps even less, or even disappear altogether.

The name Zheng He can only be left in the history books, and he has an experience of sailing to the West.

That's all!

However, the emperor gave his name to the first ironclad ship of the Ming Dynasty, giving the name Zheng He a new life.

What does this mean?

As long as the person who has contributed to the Ming Dynasty, no matter what his status, the emperor will remember it in his heart.

Zheng He is so, he ...... Who knows what will come?

Is it possible that a certain ironclad ship in the future will hang the three big characters "Jin Ying"?
