The Zhiyuan set sail from Bandar Seri Begawan and headed southwest, passing through the Zengmu Shoals, Natuna Islands, Anambas Islands... and headed straight to the Singapore Strait, which is the eastern entrance and exit of the entire Malacca Strait. .
The weather conditions were excellent along the way. The Zhiyuan ship had already gone through a dry dock overhaul in Naha. Now it is in a very good condition. It has added enough water and coal to the bow to pierce the waves. It sailed all the way amid the circling seabirds. southward.
The accompanying sail warships and steam paddle steamers also followed closely behind. The mighty fleet shocked countless ships on the sea along the way.
The European merchant ships looked at this legendary most advanced warship in great shock, especially after seeing the Qing Dynasty Dragon Flag and the Chinese Head of State Xiao Zi Flag on it, all the ships did not dare to neglect and quickly gave up the main channel in advance. , this noble battleship will never be allowed to go around.
As the two ships passed each other, the captain, first mate, second mate and many sailors on the deck took off their hats and bowed in salute. Of course, the French were an exception.
In particular, American and Prussian merchant ships blew their whistles in salute after encountering the Zhiyuan, and the flag bearers directly played the flags of "Long Live the Emperor and Long Live the Prime Minister."
What is even more shocking is that the Chinese immigrants and indigenous people in Nanyang, the fishermen who fished in small boats on the sea, this was the first time they saw the warships of their mother country. At this time, they had heard the news of Bai Layi's victory. The Nanyang Chinese themselves The quality of the telegraph lines is still reliable.
"Long live the emperor! Long live the head of state..." The fishermen were kowtowing on the deck one by one. They were not afraid of the forest-like guns and soldiers on the Zhiyuan, who were driving the small boats. Just lean up.
People knelt down to worship, praised, and held the freshest rice wine and seafood to worship!
The hospitality was hard to deny, and these simple fishermen followed them all the way and would not leave without accepting gifts. As a last resort, the Zhiyuan had no choice but to put down its hanging basket and accept the offerings from these fishermen.
The freshest fish, shrimps and crabs, as well as cans of rice wine and tropical fruits, the humble people use the harvest of their hard work to worship the king and virtuous ministers. This is the belief in their hearts and the backer of their happy life. .
Zai Chun was so moved by all this that he suffered for several times. This was not the three kneels and nine kowtows trained by the Ministry of Etiquette like acting. This was the love from the hearts of the people. This kind of emotion was so contagious that even Xiao Letian had a nose. It felt sour, not to mention the thirteen-year-old Zai Chun.
"Master...Master...I am not their emperor? But why do they still kneel down and worship me?" It seems that the continuous education has worked. Zai Chun actually forgot that those shores of the land are not the king's land, the universal land. Could it be that this is the banal truth of Wang Chen?
"Because you are their belief!" Xiao Letian said in a low voice, "It is very hard for people to live in this world. There is insecurity everywhere. You may encounter several famines or earthquakes in your life. , floods and other natural disasters, and we will also encounter wars, bandits, thieves, evil soldiers and other misfortunes!”
"People who are insecure long for a sense of security. When their children are bullied outside, they know how to go home and find their mothers. When an old man begging for food encounters a vicious dog, he still wants a dog-beating stick to lean against. wall……"
"What is a king? What is a country? He is the wall in the hearts of the people, a backer! When they are in danger, they know that someone will save them, that's all..."
"They really treat the king as a parent. They kindly hope that all kings and ministers can protect them like parents love their children..."
"Protection! That's all. Whoever can provide these is the master of the world!"
"Zai Chun, I, Xiao Letian, protected them with troops and guns, so they called me Long Live the Head of State! And you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, an emperor who has left the country for the first time in two hundred years. They call you Long Live, yes. I hope you will be the one who can protect them one day!"
"Are you prepared for this?" Xiao Letian gently patted Zai Chun on the shoulder.
Listening to the master's earnest instruction, Zai Chun's eyes became red and swollen again, "Master, I understand! I'm ready. After I take charge, I must be a king and father who loves and protects the people! I want to be the leader of the people all over the world. backing!"
Xiao Letian nodded, "Okay, okay! It's good to have this intention. Let's eat these seafood sent by the people tonight, have a good sleep, and see Singapore tomorrow!"
On the sea, hundreds of ships of all kinds were saluting the Zhiyuan, while the master and apprentice on the bow staged a scene of deep affection between master and apprentice.
However, behind the two of them, Lin Zhen, who was leaning on Zhiyuan's main gun to look at the scenery, looked at Zai Chun's back coldly. He sneered in his heart and said, "Damn, you are the only one who wants to be one of the hundreds of millions of Chinese people." Backer? With your small body, you have to rely on yourself to death? You are just a card in the hand of the head of state. Do you really think you are the king? "
"I just want to see how happy you are dancing now. Sooner or later, the day will come when you make a list... pig-tailed tartar, bah!" A mouthful of thick phlegm flew to the sea against the sea breeze.
Lin Zhen was one of the elders of the Stormtroopers, his status was only lower than that of Xiang Ying. He was also a fanatical believer in militarism. In their eyes, he was just a piece of cooked meat in the morning and evening.
As soon as he finished spitting, Lin Zhen felt a hot gaze looking at him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Cai Bixia. Lin Zhen stuck out his tongue and smiled, but Cai Bixia glared at him and seemed to have guessed it. What is Lin Zhen scolding?
Lin Zhen made a gesture of begging for mercy, then strode up behind the head of state, saluted and shouted loudly, "Tell the head of state, please order tonight's menu... Hehe, the big kitchen alone received more than 60 kinds of seafood. You really don’t know what to do?”
"I have a suggestion for the head of state. The sea urchin sent by the fishermen is really fresh. If you want me to recommend it, this is the best..."
Xiao Letian didn't care what to eat at night. He looked at his pocket watch, "Zaichun, you go pick it up. Later, invite Shang Tai over. The two of you will order the dinner menu... After everything is reunited with the British tomorrow, you have to bring out the emperor's food." If you have lost your dignity, you can’t run around and play wildly at that time!”
"Where are Da Sixi and Little Sixi? Call them over, I have some instructions!"
"Yes!" Lin Zhen accepted the order and stepped back. Before leaving, he was smiling like a flower and teasing Zai Chun. "Your Majesty! You heard me right. The sea urchins are absolutely fresh, and the Pipa shrimps are also very good... Oh, that's right. Well, I heard that Xiao Sixi has a special ability? Can you lend me a couple of days and let him teach me!"
After all, Zai Chun was young and couldn't help but say a few words of praise. Seeing Lin Zhen's friendliness, he also wanted to be popular and walked side by side with Lin Zhen to the cabin.
"Haha...Brother Lin is interested? Xiao Sixi has received secret training in the harem, and he has good things in his belly. If you want it, I will order him to teach you three moves..."
"How can three moves work? Your Majesty, please stop being stingy and teach me a few more moves, at least eighteen moves!"
