After leaving the Goryeo Peninsula, I didn’t want to stay on the land of the Ming Dynasty for a day, but led the fleet to go south at full speed and follow the coastline of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the rolling mountains, I suddenly lost the anger and reluctance I had in my heart, but became very calm and relaxed.

I thought about it seriously. This was probably because of despair, despair of the Ming Dynasty and this era that made me give up on the status quo and give up and let it go.

Blowing a river of spring water, what's the matter with you?

In this huge Ming Dynasty, besides Ye Sizhong and one or two others, Shen Shixing, who else is worth my nostalgia and struggle?

Those who give up on themselves must abandon them. Only by caring about one's own affairs is the most important thing.

If you give up, no matter how hard others work, it will be zero.

Let it go! Let it go! No matter how painful it hurts, there is no way.

The cold rain spreads across the river and enters Wu at night, and Pingming sees off the lonely people in Chu Mountain.

As if relatives and friends in Luoyang asked each other, a piece of ice heart was in the jade pot.

I did my best!

When the fleet headed south from the Jiaodong Peninsula, passed Xuzhou, went to Suhang, to Quanzhou, passed through the Strait, and to Macau, I knew that I was about to leave my hometown. The last look at the small island may be the last look at my hometown in this life.

I just regret that I don’t have a camera in my hand and I don’t have the ability to draw all this with the strokes in my hand, so I can only engrave it deeply into my mind and make it an eternal memory in my heart.

The fleet did not slow down and was still smooth at the speed of fifteen knots. When I could no longer see the land, I thought I would be sad and wanted to cry, but who knew that it was a relief from the bottom of my heart.

I'm no longer sad, I tell myself.

This has also become the fundamental driving force for me to choose the future, and it was not until many years later that I understood this.

Following the same longitude of Macau, our fleet heads straight south, which is also the fastest way of travel under my command. Such a route can ensure that we can go directly to the Strait of Malacca, cross the South Ocean and enter the Indian Ocean at the fastest speed.

I sent someone to say hello to Little Pence, brought gifts that were enough to compensate him for his righteous actions to attract firepower, and thanked him for the information about the Spanish attack on North America, so I went south at full speed.

I believe Pence also understands that saving people at this time is like putting out a fire. As for providing information, we will make up for it if we have feelings.

However, things in the world are destined to be seven points and three points rely on hard work, which is true at all. Shortly after our fleet entered the Nanyang Ocean, we encountered the first heavy rain we encountered in recent times!

Under the violent tornado, two medium-sized transport ships were swept into pieces. Although I ordered my all-out efforts to save people, nearly twenty sailors were still buried at the bottom of the sea, losing money indefinitely.

As a last resort, we could only dock and avoid disasters in the nearby Liaonei Islands based on the navigation chart.

The Lyonet Islands belong to Indonesia in modern times and are an overseas archipelago with tourism as its core industry.

However, under the premise that productivity in all aspects has not yet been greatly improved to the modern industrial level, the Liaonei Islands hanging overseas are still a deserted island and do not have the capacity to replenish, but as a disaster avoidance site, it is completely sufficient.

When our fleet landed temporarily on the south coast of the archipelago, it set its anchor, lowered its sails, and began to repair the damage of the hull with all its efforts.

When I heard the disaster situation reported to me by Adicen, my face was calm. Such a situation was inevitable. After all, no matter what I encountered, it was not surprising.

However, at this moment, Mo suddenly found me, and he told me a strange look: Sir, we found someone deep in the cabin...

I was very confused. I found a person in the cabin? What is this concept? Who is the person who was found?

Seeing my strange look, Mo turned around and a thin figure turned out from behind him.

When I saw the person coming through the shaking lights, I couldn't help but laugh: "Ship? Why are you?"

The person who came was Zheng Shibiao who I had already entrusted to Shen Shixing and Shi Xing! But how could this kid appear here?

Zheng Shibiao's cheeks were red, and he was very embarrassed, but he tried hard to muster up the courage and said to me loudly: Sir! I don't want to stay in the Ming Dynasty to be an official, I want to... I want to go out to sea with you! Do big things!

I couldn't help laughing, and Zheng Shibiao blushed even more. He wanted to argue and wanted to prove his loyalty and courage to me, so he shouted to me in a tone that he had not yet completely changed his voice: I know you were excluded in the Ming Dynasty! I know you are not wrong! But they want to drive you away! They are wrong! I don't want to serve them!

Zheng Shi's face turned redder, and after shouting, his face turned redder.

I shook my head and smiled: OK! This is not something you should consider. Regarding this matter... it's not right! I left you in the capital, how did you get on the fleet?

Zheng Shibiao immediately raised his chest and said proudly: I... I stole a ship from Tianjin Wei Wharf at night and drove out of the port when they were unprepared. I guess you might have to go back to the West, so I waited for you in the Bohai Bay east of Tianjin Wei for three days and three nights. More than ten days ago, I finally saw our fleet, so I leaned forward while the night was dark, afraid that the cable would come up!

Drink! This kid! I don’t know how to express my mood at this moment. Should I praise him or scold him.

On the sea, such behavior is quite dangerous and will be doomed if you are not careful.

But he still did this, and he did it with pleasure. Judging from his expression, he was afraid that deep in his heart, he would cherish this life-threatening thing as a major wealth and encounter in his life. However, he did not know that the consequences of doing this would be a high probability of losing the future, or loss of life.

However, it is too late to say this now. I admire Zheng Shibiao's loyalty and courage, and I cannot explain everything I have.

I can't say that in the future you will have a very famous son named Zheng Zhilong and a grandson named Zheng Chenggong.

So I gently pulled Zheng Shibiao to him and said to him softly: Child, do you still remember the three things I asked you to do?

Zheng Shibiao lowered his head and said: Remember! Of course! But... he suddenly raised his head and said to me stubbornly: But sir, it was the Ming Dynasty that was defeating you first, why did you still speak for the Ming Dynasty?

I gently touched Zheng Shibiao's hair and sighed: It's a saying that dogs don't bother with poor families and sons don't bother with ugly mothers. Although I was extremely disappointed and even despaired by the Ming Dynasty, I can't change the fact that the Chinese blood flows on me! I'm leaving, but I've left you, which is my hope and sustenance for the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand?

Zheng Shibiao bit his lip, and after a while, he nodded vigorously, and then said: Sir, I'm afraid I can't do it well!

I patted his shoulder hard and encouraged him: You must be able! Shipiao, you are the smartest and brave child I have ever seen! As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to do it!

Unexpectedly, Zheng Shibiao grinned: I am brave, smart but I dare not be a good person, sir! I can't do this, so let me go out to sea with you! Even if I am a servant who washes the deck! I just want to stay in your fleet!

I looked at Zheng Shibiao's serious expression and couldn't help but sigh again, stood up and looked at the hazy rain curtain in the distance and said: Child, I know you are loyal, but some things... some things are not as simple as you think.

I still wanted to say it, but Zheng Shibiao asked with a sad look on his face: Sir, am I not doing well enough? Are you going to drive me away?

Seeing the teenage boy's eyes flushed with anxiety, I couldn't help laughing again: Child, you kid!

I thought silently that Zheng Shibiao was only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and he was afraid that he would have been in a few years. Since that was the case, I would take him by his side to experience it for a few years, and then find an excuse to let him return to the Ming Dynasty when it is almost done.

Perhaps as he continues to grow up, he has his own ideas and judgments, and I may not be able to keep it!

Thinking of this, I made up my mind and patted Zheng Shibiao on the shoulder and said seriously: Okay! Since you are so persistent, then stay in the fleet for the time being. But you have to agree to me one more thing!

Zheng Shibiao immediately stood up straight, looked at me with a very pious expression and said: Sir, let alone one piece, even ten pieces, I am willing to agree to you!

I smiled, rubbed Zheng Shibiao's hair and said: Child, my requirement is that you must do your best to learn fleet management and combat command, and you are not allowed to try your child's personal relationship easily. If there is a girl you like, you must go through my review and inspection before you can get married! Do you understand?

Zheng Shibiao just thought it was my strict requirement for him, so he immediately smiled and agreed without any worries, but he didn't know that I had deeper considerations.

Zheng Zhilong, the son of Zheng Shibiao, the mother of Zheng Zhilong, is an orthodox Ming Dynasty, so I asked Zheng Shibiao to be with a Ming Dynasty person in the future because I was worried that if he went out to sea with me and found a foreign girl, what should I do if he couldn't give birth to Zheng Zhilong?

I don’t know if I’m worried about it, but I don’t want such a thing to happen, so I have to kill all this in the bud!

Seeing that Zheng Shibiao agreed without understanding, I couldn't help but worry. He didn't understand why I made such a request, and I couldn't explain all this.

I can only pay more attention and be careful!

Zheng Shibiao didn't know the issues I was worried about. After saluting me, he jumped to find Adiecon.

Alas, forget it, let him study hard with Adicen. Maybe there will be some changes in the future, but if Zheng Zhilong can be more skilled in the battle, this is also considered that history is developing in a positive direction, and there should be no disadvantages!

Looking at him running away happily, I couldn't help but sigh softly.
Chapter completed!
