Chapter 848 Chen Yonghua, Navigation Club

Author: Linglinghou

Autumn, the twelfth year of Zhaowu.

Zheta, the leader of the Zhenla Kingdom, expressed his willingness to lead the whole Zhenla Kingdom to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and he only wanted to be rich and noble.

Emperor Zhaowu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yusao, readily agreed and granted Zheta the title of Dehua Bo.

Subsequently, the Ming Dynasty sent troops from three towns to Chenla to protect Zheta and his family before they settled in Nanjing.

After that, the Ming court re-divided the borders of several southern provinces.

In the past, the territory of Chenla Kingdom was classified as Jiaozhi Province, but the area north of Hanoi (formerly Thang Long) in North Vietnam was classified as Guangxi Province.

Qiongzhou Prefecture was re-assigned to Guangdong Province.

The two prefectures on Dongfan Island were assigned to Fujian Province.

In this way, the new provincial boundaries of Nanhai Province are: the Greater Luzon Islands, the Manchuria region, and some islands in the South China Sea.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty changed the name of Manchuria to "Jiazhou", which was the lower state of Nanhai Province. Its area included later Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and the coastal areas across the Strait of Malacca.

What disappointed Zhu Yurao was that Siam did not take any action when Zhenla surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

However, according to the intelligence sent back by Jinyiwei North Town Fusi, the North Town Fusi spies have made breakthrough progress in Siam, and they will be able to affect Siam's national affairs in two years. By then, maybe Siam will

He might even provoke Ming Dynasty to death.

···

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Zhaowu (1658).

The capital of the Ming Empire, Nanjing.

The inner city and outer city areas have not changed much except that they have become more prosperous, the houses and terraces, the carved beams and painted buildings are more exquisite, and the streets have been better naturalized.

However, in the suburbs of Nanjing, four- to six-story high-rise buildings made of masonry, cement and steel have been built in many places.

However, although these high-rise buildings are made of bricks, stones and cement, their appearance is still relatively close to other Ming Dynasty buildings. They have all the eaves, corners, pavilions and pavilions.

Chen Yonghua has been studying at Nanjing University for almost three years, but every time he goes out of school and travels in and out of the city, he still can't help but sigh at the rapid changes in the capital, which are changing with each passing day.

He is from Tong'an, Fujian Province. His father, Chen Ding, was elected in the seventh year of Tianqi and Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

After Emperor Zhaowu succeeded to the throne, his father was elected as the county magistrate, and then rose through the ranks of education. He is now the deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education, which can be regarded as a provincial-level official.

Therefore, he can be said to be a second-generation official.

However, Chen Yonghua was able to study at Nanjing University solely because of his own ability.

He was originally known as a child prodigy in his hometown due to his family background.

Later, a primary school was established in Fujian. After middle school, he completed primary school in one year, then entered junior high school, high school, and finally graduated with excellent results in the college entrance examination in Fujian Province with third place.

Then he came to Nanjing and took the independent admissions examination of Nanjing University.

In Ming Dynasty, when the school education department gradually matured, the junior high school graduation examination was generally organized by the state government, while the high school graduation examination was organized by the provincial education department.

Now, after graduating from high school and with acceptable grades, you will receive an admission notice from a university in the province. When the fall semester starts, you can directly enter the university with the admission notice.

But if you want to go to university in another province, you have to pass the school's independent admissions examination again.

Generally speaking, the questions in the independent enrollment examination are more difficult than those in the college entrance examination, and the number of admissions is limited.

Therefore, in today's Ming Dynasty, those who can go to college in other provinces, especially those in the three cities of Nanjing, Beijing, and Chengdu, are all outstanding high school graduates with strong abilities.

Before Chen Yonghua came to Nanjing to study, his mother originally wanted to arrange a marriage for him because he was already twenty years old when he graduated from high school.

But Chen Yonghua was greatly influenced by new ideas and did not want to get married before completing his studies, especially to a woman he had never met before.

Afterwards, he wrote a letter to his father, who was an official in Guangdong, and gained his father's support, thus escaping the fate of being arranged to get married by his mother.

After arriving in Nanjing, Chen Yonghua devoted himself to studying.

He majored in business administration - his father was an official in the education department, and he knew very well that graduates of this major from Nanjing University were now the favorites for elected officials in the imperial court and local departments.

What Chen Yonghua didn't expect was that he would meet a maverick female classmate in school who exuded a unique charm and made him obsessed with her, Bai Yuekui.

At Nanjing University, there are no longer divisions into men's and women's departments, because there are very few female college students, and the girls who can go to college have relatively new ideas and their families, and are willing to accept women and men going to school in the same class.

Unfortunately, although Bai Yuekui is also a student majoring in business administration, he is not in the same class as Chen Yonghua.

In addition, in the first year of entering Nanjing University, Chen Yonghua needed to learn and learn too much, and he was still shocked by all the new things in Nanjing, so he just followed Bai Yuokui silently and did not interact with him.

However, Bai Yuekui was too eye-catching, which made it easy for Chen Yonghua to find out some information about her.

It is said that although Bai Yuekui is only the daughter of a retired general in the garrison, she is the adopted sister of the Red Lady!

Who is the Red Lady?

That is the most trusted female general by the current emperor, Wu Yingbo, a hero of Yuan Cong who accompanied Emperor Zhaowu from Beijing to Nanjing!

Because of this relationship, although many outstanding male students in the school were attracted by Bai Yuekui's outstanding appearance, good academic performance, and unique personality, none of them dared to confess to her.

There are also rumors that a certain second-generation scholar or official had confessed his love to Bai Yuekui.

As a result, Bai Yuokui took him out for who knows what he did. When he came back, he looked particularly shocked, and he has been depressed ever since.

After that, no one dared to confess to Bai Yuekui.

Therefore, in his second year of college, Chen Yonghua only got to know Bai Yuekui through an opportunity organized by the school.

In his junior year, Chen Yonghua learned that Bai Yuekui liked sailing, so he worked hard to supplement his knowledge in this area. Finally, he joined the "Daming Global Navigation Club" established by Bai Yuekui and became friends with him.

normal friend.

Today, Bai Yuekui convened a meeting with the members, but the location was chosen at the Qinglong Camp site outside the city.

Chen Yonghua had breakfast in the school cafeteria, then dressed in a new style of sky-blue slim-fitting Confucian uniform, got into a public carriage at the school gate and headed out of the city.

Nanjing University is in the outer city, but Qinglong Camp is on the outskirts of the city, several miles away. If he walked there, Chen Yonghua was afraid of being late.

In fact, if you are not far out of the city, riding a bicycle is also a good choice.

During his three years in college, Chen Yonghua bought a bicycle with rubber tires for the convenience of traveling.

Nowadays, Daming bicycles have become quite popular and can be seen even in remote counties and towns.

Generally divided into two types, those with rubber tires and those without rubber tires.

You can buy a bicycle without rubber tires for only thirty yuan, while the cheapest one with rubber tires costs over a hundred yuan.

When Chen Yonghua was in school, he earned some money by contributing articles to several newspapers and magazines. In addition, the living expenses provided by his family were not small, so he had the money to buy a car with rubber tires.

Unfortunately, there is a section of the road to Qinglong Camp where civilian vehicles are not allowed to enter - Bai Yuekui reminded this matter yesterday.

Therefore, Chen Yonghua chose to travel by bus and carriage today.

The public carriage he took only required one transfer to get to the nearest bus stop in Qinglongying, which was quite convenient.

After arriving at the station, Chen Yonghua got off the bus and found Bai Yuekui and her four good sisters already waiting.

In addition, there are two other boys from the sailing club, also waiting.

Chen Yonghua hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "The road was blocked for a while, I'm late, classmates, please forgive me."

Bai Yuekui smiled nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter, since everyone is here, let's go."

After finishing speaking, let’s walk towards the direction of Qinglong Camp first.
