Chapter 1154: We Can Go
The two eldest children suddenly became excited, jumped to their feet and said, "Send troops, fight over!" The two of us already have official positions in the imperial court, so we can send troops openly. ”
It happened that Bai Gongzi was driving the paddle steamer Xiaobai No. 3, and had just returned to Hong Kong, so when he came over and listened, he immediately shook his head and said: "The two children know that it is nonsense, it is precisely because you already have an official position, so it is inconvenient to meddle in this matter." ”
Two older children: "Huh? ”
Bai Gongzi said: "In the past, we could say that we were pirates, fighting everywhere, and if we beat it, it would be over, but now that you are a military attache of the imperial court, you have your own jurisdiction, and you can't mix things that are not under your jurisdiction, otherwise it will only destroy the hard-won identity and cause trouble to our Gaojia Village." ”
Two older children: "Hey, this ......"
Shi Lang: "General Cao's current position as the coastal commander-in-chief, isn't it possible to manage the entire coast?" ”
Bai Gongzi shook his head: "Of course not, the Su Song Naval Division can only manage the coastal areas of the Susong area, the General Soldiers of the Fujian Naval Division can only manage the coastal areas of Fujian, and the General Soldiers of Guangdong can only manage the coastal areas of Guangdong. ”
Shi Lang: "However, the British have jumped in the face, we have a big ship, we should teach the British a lesson." ”
Bai Gongzi: "I also think that the British should be beaten, but how to beat the law, I'm afraid it needs to be discussed again." ”
As soon as they had said this, they saw a fast ship sail into the harbor.
The ship was carrying the flag of Zheng Zhilong's family, and a man jumped down from the boat and shouted, "Young master, young master." ”
Zheng Sen: "Huh? That's my father's henchman. ”
The man ran over quickly: "Young master, the master asked me to inform you, saying that there is a fun to see, and ask if you want to go and see it?" ”
Zheng Sen: "What's the fun?" ”
The man said: "The British have four battleships......"
Zheng Sen: "Bombardment of Humen? ”
Man: "Huh? It turned out that the young master already knew. ”
Zheng Sen: "I just got the news, isn't this the end of the fight?" What else do I have to see? ”
The man said: "The Westerners shelled Humen, which made the governor and the deputy envoy of Haidao very angry, and several senior officials ordered Chen Qian, the commander-in-chief of Guangzhou, to drive the British away immediately. But Chen Qian's men didn't have many troops at all, and the ships were in tatters, so he didn't have the ability to drive away the British, so he asked the master for help. ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
It turned out that the Guangdong general soldier asked Zheng Zhilong for help.
Zheng Zhilong is now the largest emperor in the southeastern coastal region of the Ming Dynasty, with a heavy army and strong strength, and he has a lot of experience in fighting Westerners. In the Battle of Liuluo Bay, Zheng Zhilong shot and beat the Dutch away.
Guangdong is now being bullied by Westerners, and of course Zheng Zhilong will think of it.
And Zheng Zhilong encountered such a good opportunity, of course, he wanted to take his son to see and let him learn something.
Shi Lang was overjoyed: "Xiao Sen, go!" You're definitely going to go, aren't you? Then, when you go, you take me with you to see the excitement by the way, which is reasonable, right? I don't reveal my identity, just disguise yourself as one of your men. ”
Zheng Sen was overjoyed: "Of course this is excellent. ”
With Zheng Zhilong's action in this matter, Gaojiacun did not plan to send heavy troops, so he only sent two ships, one Wanli Sunshine, and one of the paddle steamers Xiaobai No. 3 that Bai Gongzi had just built.
Shi Lang disguised himself a little, pretending to be Zheng Sen's subordinate.

Then the two ships left the port of Dinghai in Zhoushan and headed for Fujian.
It didn't take long for the two ships to come to Anhai Town, Jinjiang, Fujian, Zheng Zhilong's nest.
I saw that the wharf next to Anhai Town was densely packed with boats.
The largest is a Western galleon about fifty meters long, and I don't know where Zheng Zhilong grabbed it, anyway, it wouldn't have been built by himself.
The next ship type is a bit faulty, the second largest is only about 20 meters of junk boats, there are more than a dozen, and then there is a large mess of small boats.
The arrival of the two big ships in Gaojia Village was suddenly compared with the largest Western galleon under Zheng Zhilong, a 60-meter-long Sunshine and a 60-meter-long paddle steamer, which made Zheng Zhilong's sailors amazed.
"Young Master! It's the young master who is back. ”
"Young master, long time no see."
Many people on the dock waved at Zheng Sen.
Zheng Sen also greeted happily, Uncle Zhang for a while, Uncle Li for a while, and Uncle Zheng for a while...... All of them are taller than him.
Zheng Zhilong stood on the dock to greet him, and when he saw Zheng Sen, a smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Sen, I haven't seen you for a long time, follow Li Gong...... Cough...... Did Mr. Li learn anything? ”
Zheng Sen immediately replied: "The child went this time, and he learned too much, I learned the earth, the sun, the moon, and the universe...... I also know how tides and monsoons are formed, and I have learned a lot about the ocean, which is really amazing, and Mr. Li knows too much about his wife. ”
When the father heard that his son had learned, he was of course happy and laughed.
Zheng Sen added: "By the way, the child also got an official position." ”
"What?" Zheng Zhilong was taken aback: "Do you have an official position?" What official position? ”
Zheng Sen smiled: "Mr. Qian!" ”
This official title stunned Zheng Zhilong, his child was only thirteen years old, and he actually became a thousand presidents? How many grievances did I suffer in order to become a guerrilla general? It's hard to say.
Sure enough, it was right to send his son to Gonggong Li, following the emperor's lieutenants, the speed of this promotion, tsk...... I can't figure it out in the future, my father will be more expensive than my son.
"How did you get all this?"
"That's a long story, I'll tell you about it slowly." Zheng Sen smiled: "Father, let's hurry up and set off to beat the British." ”
"Good!"
Zheng Zhilong was actually ready a long time ago, just waiting for his son to come, and hurriedly pulled up the fleet at the moment.
The British only came with four ships, and Guangzhou was also far from Fujian, so he didn't take too far with him, and he couldn't take the boats with him if he wanted to, and he couldn't sail so far.
He only lit ten medium- and large-sized ships with long-distance sailing capabilities, and he sat on the largest Western galleon, led by his second brother Zheng Zhihu, a 20-meter-long junk ship, left Anhai Town, and headed for Guangzhou.
Along the way, Zheng Sen told him about the battle of Phi Dao, and Zheng Zhilong was secretly frightened, it turned out that there was such a large-scale battle on Phi Dao, but fortunately our army won, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would be in danger.
Zheng Sen also told him all kinds of strange knowledge he learned in the maritime school, what earth is a big ball, this Zheng Zhilong knows. But when he said that the tides were because of the gravitational pull of the moon, Zheng Zhilong was stunned.
Then I told him about the ocean currents, monsoons, steam paddle wheels, propellers, and so on.
Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but sigh: "Son, in the future, my father will definitely not be as good as your achievements." ”
