The pier of Yokohama Port is covered with snow, and the thick chimneys of the Yongchang iron-armored steamship are emitting black smoke.

This world's earliest steamship has now become a passenger ship between China and Japan, and has been in operation for a year.

This is also the first passenger ship to and from China and Japan regularly, unprecedented.

Da Yu'er was wearing a big windbreaker and a scarf. Her cold pretty face was a little bloody. She was carrying a suitcase and waiting to get on the boat. After Ella invited her to return to the capital, she couldn't wait to go back.

The development of the Tokyo branch has slowed down, and the shogunate has also become particularly calm this winter because it is accumulating the power of change. Otaku has nothing to worry about for the time being.

"Miss, have you just kept us in Yokohama Port for the festival?"

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue who followed Da Yu'er to Yokohama Port burst into tears. They did not receive the approval of the Ministry of Revenue to return to Beijing and would stay in Japan during the upcoming Spring Festival and the Spring Festival.

"I'm sorry, I'll come back after the Lantern Festival and I'll give you a shift for holiday." Da Yu'er bowed to them.

"We're just joking," said the young Ministry of Revenue officials quickly.

"You can get on the boat in half a quarter of an hour, it's really cold." Da Yu'er shrank her head in the scarf, thinking that she would see Ella and Chu Yun next time she returned to Beijing, and her originally cold pretty face became slightly hot.

On the same pier, Tadao Sakai led the shogunate to China's envoys. They saw the Yongchang steamer emitting black smoke. However, they were not qualified to purchase tickets for the Yongchang, unless they had a Chinese household registration, so they had to hire a merchant ship of a big Chinese merchant.

"That's the most advanced steamship in the Kyushu army. It can be automatically without wind, which is very magical." Tadaoka Sakai had seen the Yongchang and introduced it to everyone.

This time, the envoys and other shogunate ministers such as Aoyama Yukizuki, have gathered many important figures from the shogunate. If they were detained, they might cause a stir in the shogunate. This is why Tadaka Sakai was worried that Chu Yun would detain the envoys in the capital.

"No wind automatically? Are they rowing with manpower?" asked the man who was not sure about the steamboat in the envoy.

After hearing this, Tadao Sakai wanted to hit people. How about using manpower to row such a large boat across the Pacific Ocean?

When Tadaosaki Sakai wanted to answer the man's question, he caught a glimpse of a group of Chinese people waiting for the merchant ship under the Yongchang, one of which was Da Yu'er who he had arrested.

Well? Why is this person going to the capital? By the way, maybe she will know her identity when she arrives in the capital! Tadaoka Sakai narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that he would ask about her identity in the capital of China.

"We were on missions for the Spring Festival. I didn't expect to spend it in China. It was really annoying." An envoy muttered dissatisfied.

"But the Spring Festival was passed down from them. It should be more atmosphere for celebrating the festival in China, right?" another envoy said.

"Mr. Sakai, you have calculated it, and I'm waiting for a while." A Beijing merchant wearing a cotton jacket came down from the sailing boat. "Are you watching the Yongchang? It's our most advanced ship in China. My broken boat is not as good as my sea, but in winter, the sea is calm and it's more than enough to carry you across the sea."

"Let's get on the boat." Tadao Sakai said to the people of the envoy.

The envoys of a country also need to take the other party's merchant ship. Tadao Sakai was ashamed, but only the big Chinese merchants had such a spacious sailing boat that could accommodate the envoys and the servants they brought.

"Mr. Sakai, I heard that you guys want to go to see the leader of our Kyushu Army. I wonder if you greeted him in advance? You must know that I brought so many Japanese people to the capital at one time, and I might be treated as taking you to smuggle." The owner of the sailboat quipped.

"I have greeted General Zheng Zhilong of the Beiyang Fleet in advance, and he said it is no problem. Originally, the Spring Festival was a festival that both of us have. Wouldn't it be great to take advantage of this time to promote transactions between each other?" Sakai Tadaokazuki said.

"Hahaha, you will definitely gain something when you meet our military leader." The great Chinese businessman smiled.

Tadao Sakai came to the deck of the sailing ship. The servant was cleaning the snow on the deck, while the sailor was checking whether the rudder, mast, rope and other equipment were intact and ready to sail.

"Who is the leader of the Jiuzhou Army who even Zheng Sang has to obey his orders?" Tadao Sakai thought of the person above the head of the commander of Zheng Zhilong's Beiyang Fleet, and was a little worried that the other party would not be able to speak.

Moreover, this time he took the initiative to set up a chess piece to China, which might come in handy at any time.

"Pick up the sails and get ready to start the boat!" The sailor on the sailboat shouted at the top of his throat after confirming that everything was ready.

"Miss, you can get on the boat." On Da Yuer's side, the Yongchang lowered the boat ladder, and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue said goodbye to her.

"You are optimistic about the Tokyo Branch. Don't let something happen after I leave." Da Yu'er reminded.

"Don't worry, Miss, if something happens, we will jump into Edo Bay immediately!" The officials of the Ministry of Revenue patted their chests and promised.

Da Yuer carried her suitcase and entered the cabin of Yongchang along the crowd. There were Chinese people who wanted to return to the capital, or Chinese registered people, and there were crowds of people. Due to traditional festivals, many Chinese people who came to Japan to make money had to return to the capital, or pass through their own homeland in the capital. If they were to go back secretly when the sea ban was banned in the past, this time they had to go back openly with a ticket.

"Sorry, do you know where this location is?" someone asked her behind Da Yu'er.

Da Yu'er turned her head and found that she was a woman wearing Hanfu, but her accent was very strange, as if she had mixed Chinese and Japanese accents.

When the woman saw that it was Da Yu'er, her body was slightly shocked.

"Let me see, this location is next to my seat." Da Yu'er pointed to the empty seat.

"Thank you..." The woman with a strange accent sat aside.

"Is your father Han or mother Han?" Da Yuer knew that many Han people living in Japan would intermarry with Japanese people, so it often leads to their children to form special accents in two different language environments. Just like Zheng Zhilong's wife is a Japanese woman. Da Yuer has met Zheng Chenggong, the son of Zheng Zhilong, and the same accent is almost the same.

"My father is Han," the woman replied.

"What's your name?"

"Hasuko."
