A large golden umbrella appeared on the coast like a forest, and a giant ship covered with black iron armor appeared here.

The former is Zhu Youxiao's Luanyi. This will be the first time Zhu Youxiao set foot on the Ming Dynasty steamship to go to sea. Even though he had traveled across the ocean, he is still inexplicably excited. Looking at the vast ocean that belongs to him in front of him, a hero suddenly arises in his heart.

The latter is the super giant ship "Da Ming" used as the sea imperial ship. The entire warship is more than 30 meters long and six meters wide, with a draft of two meters deep, with a normal displacement and full load displacement of more than 7,000 tons. It uses the horizontal three-cylinder duplex steam engine first developed by the Ming Dynasty as a power supply device. It is very fast. The ship is equipped with a newly developed breech gun, with more than 300 ammunitions, and there are three carrier-based torpedo boats. However, because the power has not yet been popularized, electrification has not yet kept up, and the search performance is a bit poor, but in this era it is enough to deserve the word "Da Ming".

The South China Sea Fleet Gu Sanmazi personally served as the commander of the fleet, escorting the Emperor Zhu Youxiao. The gunners and sailors were also the best selected from the entire South China Sea Fleet. Zhu Youxiao, Ningpin Luo Rushi and other entourage personnel even underwent adaptive training before boarding the warship to avoid seasickness or other discomfort reactions.

On October 15th, under the respectful sent by Guangdong and Guangxi Governor Qu Shisi, Guangdong Governor and General of the Fourth Army Lu Jiayu and other Guangdong officials, Zhu Youxiao and others successively climbed the "Da Ming" through temporary wooden ladders.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao got on the warship, a yellow dragon flag was raised to the mast, flying in the sea breeze, Gu Sanmazi and a group of officers on the ship stood upright on the deck waiting for Zhu Youxiao to review.

Zhu You's motto was given a few words, and accompanied by Gu Sanmazi, he entered the three-story cabin of the newly developed composite steel combination. The cabin was decorated with a magnificent imitation of the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City. No one was allowed to enter unless summoned by His Majesty. Gu Sanmazi's command room and sailor's operating room were on the other side. There was no giant cannon to penetrate the armor outside the cabin in this era, which was also to ensure that Zhu Youxiao was safe enough.

"It's too luxurious. Since it's a warship on the sea, practicality should be the first priority." Zhu Youxiao looked at the exquisitely carved algae sceneries, various mahogany furniture, and various glass and enamel inside, which made people dazzled and couldn't help but say a few words to Gu Sanmazi. Gu Sanmazi was quite helpless and complained in his heart: "These are all the blame for the Ming Dynasty Shipbuilding Bureau, why should I take it?"

"Let's go". Compared to enjoying the life of an emperor in the cabin, Zhu Youxiao prefers to stand on the deck and blow the sea breeze. Although this will be exposed to the vision of the enemy ships, the inland sea of ​​Ming Dynasty here, if the emperor, as an emperor, is not able to blow the sea breeze here, then he will have this sea area in vain.

Despite this, even Gu Sanmazi, who was a pirate, was still a little nervous and followed Zhu Youxiao almost for a moment, fearing that he would fly over from somewhere and attack His Majesty the emperor of his family.

After Zhu Youxiao issued the departure order, Gu Sanmazi nodded and said yes. Then he raised his gun and shot it in the sky. Then the whistle sounded, and the flag bearer had already begun to dance with small flags of various colors, commanding other auxiliary warships.

The sea breeze became heavier and the warships began to slowly sail, and a huge white snow-like wave was cut on the calm sea surface. Then, a slight wave of up and down was swaying, and the giant steel ship left Guangzhou Port.

At this time, the two medium-sized steam warships equipped with four machine guns but only had one layer of muzzle. They drove away from the port first, and drove left and right in front of them to open the way for the "Da Ming".

At the same time, the other four warships began to retract their anchors, leaving the port and following directly behind the "Da Ming" after half a mileage, always maintaining a certain distance.

At some point, two frigates appeared on both sides of the "Da Ming". You can see that the naval soldiers on the battleships on these warships are all elite, skillful in operation and sharp eyes.

Some Western merchant ships who were temporarily controlled in the port couldn't help but look surprised. Once upon a time, they should have dominated the ocean. Now, judging by the scale of the Ming emperor's going to sea, no royal dispatch of any European country can be as large as that.

The first stop for this ocean trip was Macau. Basically, before the arrival of the "Ming" that Zhu Youxiao took, the two most cutting-edge frigates appeared on the left and right wings of the Macau port. At the same time, the two battalions of the Fourth Army, stationed in Macau, who were ordered in advance, rushed to the port and forced some merchant ships from various countries to other designated stops to prepare enough parking positions for the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

By the time Zhu Youxiao arrived in Macau, the entire Macau port had been sorted out, without any chaotic signs due to busy trade. Countless Western merchant ships crowded in the two narrow harbors in the distance, while the majestic Fourth Army troops stood neatly above the port, looking up at Zhu Youxiao on the Ming Dynasty.

A group of merchants from all countries who were temporarily or permanently stationed in Macau were also neatly arranged outside the cordon, celebrating the demeanor of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

Zhu Youxiao also walked out of the cabin at this time and had not been on a steamer for many years. Although he had already undergone adaptation training, he still felt a little dizzy, so he adjusted for a while before he came out.

Seeing countless Western-style buildings studded on the coast, under which Ming soldiers were guarded by guarding them, seeing rows of Western-style knelt on the coast, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask Gu Sanmazi: "What's going on?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the Westerners are afraid of our Ming steam engine ships and want to find out the secrets of our Ming steam power engines at all times. These are called missionaries, but they are actually undercover agents sent by these Westerners. Now, according to Macau, they have caught a group of people today and asked His Majesty to leave."

After Gu Sanmazi said that, Zhu Youxiao didn't think about it and directly ordered: "Everything is done!"

"Get orders!"

When Zhu Youxiao slowly got off the warship and boarded the coast of Macau, these Western fans were pulled up and driven to the beach. Then a group of Ming military police raised their guns and fired directly at these Western fans.

Amid the crackling sound of bullets, these pretty Western clothes fell one after another and floated in the sea one after another.

"I protest! Protest! You are too savage. How dare you shoot our missionaries? I will propose to Her Majesty the Queen to mobilize my Royal Navy to teach you a lesson!"

At this time, the Western fan in the cordon suddenly screamed. Zhu Youxiao looked quite gorgeously dressed and asked, "Who is this person?"

"It was Namodo, the envoy of the Great Britain. Because I, the Ming Dynasty, shot and killed the baron who sold opium, and came to our Ming Dynasty to ask for explanations and compensation. Now I am staying in Macau for a while and preparing to go to Zhaoqing to contact the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi tomorrow."

Gu Sanmazi replied.
Chapter completed!
