The Hongwu did not lean on the shore, but was anchored in the middle of a fleet.

Zhu Xu passed through the plywood and came to the front of the big ship.

The sight of the eyes is the sails that are folded up, and when you are placed under it, you feel extremely small. Masts stand, densely packed, like dense forests.

This warship is seventy feet long and twenty feet wide, and is a real giant.

Zhu Xu stood at the bow of the boat not far away and looked into the distance.

This warship is wrapped in iron sheet from beginning to end, and at first glance, it gives people an indestructible and hard feeling.

Li Yizao appeared beside Zhu Xu and introduced: "Emperor, Hongwu, most of the ones use fine iron, which is extremely strong. Ordinary guns and cannons cannot do anything. They are equipped with 220 guns and destruction cannons, three levels above and below, and 1,200 soldiers stationed at sea. The speed at sea can be compared with fast horses. If there is a fleet of ships to protect them, the speed will be slightly slower..."

He is the main designer this time, and the Hongwu number is up and down. He doesn't know that he is next to Zhu Xu, and he said concisely.

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded secretly.

This warship also has some of his ideas. Although it is still very rough, it does look like some battleships in later generations.

This is the first time, and it will be better and more perfect in the future!

"Let's go up and take a look!"

Zhu Xu waved his hand, stepped onto the plywood, and walked towards the Hongwu.

A group of people followed Zhu Xu and rushed to the deck of the Hongwu.

Zhu Xu stepped on it with one foot, as stable as Mount Tai and as walking on the flat ground.

An indescribable emotion suddenly surged in his heart, mixed with emotions and indescribable. Standing at the entrance of the deck, he looked dazed at the flying national flag of the Ming Dynasty not far away.

This warship represents his expectations, and to some extent, it also indicates the future of the Ming Dynasty, with a vast ocean and a vague future.

After a long time, Cao Huachun stepped forward and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear, "Emperor."

Zhu Xu was stunned, woke up, walked forward, and said, "Yes, this warship is beyond my expectations."

The group of people behind Zhu Xu did not think much about it and followed Zhu Xu under the national flag.

Li Yizao looked at Zhu Xu looking up at the national flag, pondered and continued, "Master, the fleet has planned its navigation route, and the places where the parked along the way are also set. Johnson Chan and the Dutland and Florians have sent a letter back last year. Before we arrive, there will definitely be a reception, so don't worry about anything else..."

Zhu Xu had known these long ago. He stepped forward, patted the steel mast, full of excitement and longing, and said, "Well, okay! Along the way, you must take care of yourself. What I have told you is to do, complete, and do it seriously. I have put too much effort into this fleet, and the money and food I have paid is as high as millions..."

Zhu Youjian, Obai, and Zheng Zhilong, one is the tabletop and two are guards. Feng Zhu and others are the real people who do things. Following Zhu Xu's words, these people raised their hands together and said, "My (slave) obey the order."

Before this, Zhu Xu had thousands of words, but standing here, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The sun is particularly good today, and the wind in the port is not strong. The boats of people have different thoughts, and they all look at Zhu Xu without saying anything.

"You stay, I'll take a look."

Zhu Xu waved his hand behind him and walked forward.

Mast, canvas, long ropes, cannons, cabins, bows, Zhu Xu walked all the way, and even went to the highest level, looking at the battleship, the people on it, the entire warship, the entire port, and the sea in the distance.

Although it is just a small place, Zhu Xu has a strange feeling of dominating the world and overlooking the whole world.

It took Zhu Xu to come down for a while at the warning of Cao Huachun.

Feng Zhu stood beside King Xin, and when he saw him expressionless, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, it's time to hold the ceremony."

Zhu Xu took a deep breath, turned around and got out of the boat, and said, "Okay."

Zhu Xu, Cao Huachun, Li Bangmei and others got off the boat. Zhu Youjian and others did not move and watched Zhu Xu leave.

When Zhu Xu got ashore, a sound of salutes suddenly sounded and roared throughout the port.

Zhu Xu stood on the high ground with his hands behind his back and watched. The Hongwu roar was crowded with figures, and Zhu Youjian led a group of people to stand neatly under the national flag.

Cao Huachun stood beside Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, this is going to set sail. Don't you really want to say anything?"

Zhu Xu had a lot of words to say, but finally shook his head and said, "Stop talking, watch it set sail."

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu and saw that his expression was a little unclear, so he didn't say anything else.

The sound of bells and drums sounded on the Hongwu roar, followed by the firecrackers, which rang through the Hongwu roar and throughout the port.

Zhu Xu looked at the hot smoke, his expression was obscure, and his emotions were surging.

Dongdongdongdongdong

The heavy and exciting drum sounded, accompanied by the sound of bells, pianos, etc., and then the national flag was raised, and the national anthem was echoed.

Zhu Xu also opened his mouth and sang along, looking at the national flag from afar, his eyes shining brightly.

The man who came back was a beat slower, but Zhu Xu spoke, even if they didn't know or remember the national anthem, they all opened their mouths.

The national flag quickly roared in the wind at the top of the head.

"Anchor!"

Someone on the Hongwu yelled loudly, waved the flag, and several people at the stern of the boat immediately pulled heavy chains, shouting with confidence.

Not long after, the voice sounded again: "Showing!"

Not only the Hongwu, more than one hundred ships opened their sails one after another, one after another, one was open, one after another, and one after another, especially on the Hongwu, the sails opened, which were huge and incredible, even larger than the ship, which was quite a bit like covering the sky and the sun!

"I'm going to war!"

On the Hongwu period, Zhu Youjian and hundreds of officials knelt down in the direction of Zhu Xu and shouted in a deep voice.

At this moment, Zhu Xu had the urge to rush up and walk with them.

Immediately, he was deeply suppressed. Zhu Xu waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Accurate! I am waiting for you to return in triumph!"

"My emperor is wise, and I swear to die and fulfill my mission!"

The loud shouts of more than one hundred people echoed in the port, arousing bursts of surging blood.

The Hongwu slowly moved towards the east, and other ships of all sizes also turned their sails and followed the Hongwu, in an orderly and grand manner, slowly away from it.

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, looked at him, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

This fleet finally set sail. At the moment of its departure, the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty was also rising and falling with their shaking, which was unpredictable.

This process was fast and overdue, and it took two hours from Zhu Xu to Tianjin Wei to the current fleet to leave the port.

Zhu Xu didn't speak, and a group of civil and military officials had to accompany him until the fleet was about to disappear, and Cao Huachun whispered: "Emperor."

Zhu Xu was slightly stunned, and he let out a deep breath, calmed down his complicated emotions, and said, "Well, it's OK, let's go, go to Jingdong Camp for a night to rest, and return to Beijing tomorrow morning."
