The Shangji Fellowship was a great success and many good relationships were made. This really improved the morale of the military a lot.
When the news spread, other troops couldn't bear it. The Naval Academy even applied directly and wanted to hold a similar sorority.
Compared with the army, they, the navy, drift on ships all year round, and have even fewer opportunities to get along with people of the opposite sex.
They are all hot-blooded young men, how can they endure it? One sheep is driven, two sheep are herded.
As long as the morale of the army can be improved, Zuo Menggeng will certainly be happy to see it happen. It happened that good news came from the shipyard.
Of the thirteen third-level battleships being built together, four have been completed and can be launched.
Zuo Mengeng decided to rush there in person. On the one hand, he presided over the launching ceremony of the new warship, and on the other hand, he helped the young men in the navy solve their personal problems.
But before setting off for Qingdao, there is still one little human concern that needs to be dealt with.
"Uncle, will my father die?" Zheng Chenggong has grown a lot taller and is also a lot more melancholy. Now he is more sensible and knows more things.
Regarding the dispute between Xia Guo and the Zheng family, he has already felt the tension in it. Especially when he was in school, many children hated him.
Zheng Chenggong was very flustered and a little sad. But here alone, I don’t know what to do.
When facing Zuo Mengeng, it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"I can't say for sure. In a fight, anything can happen." Zuo Menggeng knew that Zheng Chenggong was a very smart child, so he didn't hide it.
"Aren't Xia Guo and the Zheng family friends? Why do we have to fight with each other?" Seeing that he couldn't understand, Zuo Mengeng was very patient.
"You have studied world geography in school and mastered strategic thinking. You should know that there is no right or wrong between the Xia State and the Zheng family, it is just a struggle of interests. But in the long history of history, the Zheng family has seriously They have hindered the Chinese nation. As long as they still exist, it will be difficult for the Chinese nation to truly move towards the stars and the sea. Do you think this can be ignored?" Zheng Chenggong drooped his little face, and his mood became more and more miserable.
He has been in Xia Kingdom for several years, and during this time he has learned a lot of novel knowledge. But it was precisely because he learned these things that he knew Zuo Mengeng was right.
Although the Zheng family is now the overlord on the Eastern Sea, they have no ambition to make progress and are only satisfied with the status quo.
At the same time, all over the world, European colonists are expanding aggressively, embracing those rich but ownerless lands.
Obviously there is such a good opportunity, but because of the existence of the Zheng family, the Chinese nation cannot go to the deep sea.
This is of course a huge tragedy. Xia Guo wanted to do this and seek huge benefits from it, so he had a conflict with Zheng.
As for that father... Zheng Chenggong was actually not very impressed. He lived in Japan when he was very young, living with his mother and younger brother.
Later, his father sent people to Japan and took him to Fujian. It is said that he is raised by his side, but the father is busy with work, how much time does he have to take care of him personally?
It can be said that Zheng Chenggong often has to learn to live alone. Moreover, there are some ambitious people among the Zheng family who have ill intentions towards him.
He was always frightened, even sleeping with one eye open. Later, he was sent to Shandong by his father and studied with Zuo Mengeng.
Although Zuo Mengeng also had no time to take care of him, having elders and peers in Prince Xia's palace finally made him feel the warmth of a complete family.
And here he can be unrestrained without worrying about any danger. The vast and rich knowledge here opened his eyes and gave him a new understanding of the world.
The more he learned about Xia Guo, the clearer he became that Zheng was no match at all. If it really comes to the day when the swordsmen meet, his father and his relatives will probably be in danger.
Zheng Chenggong was terrified when he thought of that scene. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Uncle, I want to go back. I want to persuade my father, hoping that he can understand the general trend." Zuo Menggeng laughed, feeling that this child was too naive.
How can it be easy to let go of the struggle for interests? But then he changed his mind. For a person's growth, many things need to be experienced personally, and only through training can one transform.
It turns out that the great man with the surname of the country in history also shined brightly during the great changes in the world.
"Then go. No matter whether it succeeds or not, you have done your best." Zuo Menggeng took Zheng Chenggong to Qingdao.
Here, Zheng Zhibao also came on behalf of the Zheng family. Among the first four warships launched, one belonged to the Zheng family.
This is the first completely Western-style warship owned by the Zheng family. Zheng Zhibao stepped onto the deck and walked around and groped around happily.
I just feel that every place is so good and perfect. If the Zheng family had so many warships like this, how could there be any rivals in the world?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the three battleships next to him. There, officers and soldiers of the Xia Navy were boarding the ship one after another.
Wearing pure white navy uniforms, these people look like elves between the sky and the sea. Look at Zheng's side again. All the sailor clothes are in a mess.
At this glance, you can tell that this is a mob. The difference between superior and inferior seems to have been determined without having to fight on the battlefield.
Look at the three new warships over there plus the Linqing that rushed back. The lineup is so spectacular that people can't breathe.
Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but clenched his hands. He even saw that there were nine warships being painted in the dry dock in the distance.
Maybe it won't be too long before those warships will be roaming the sea. Just the four ships in front of him already frightened him. If those nine ships were added to the list, who would have the final say on this ocean?
Zheng Zhibao's heartbeat quickened. There was a voice in the back of his mind that kept telling him. There are fewer and fewer opportunities left for the Zheng family. If they don't seize it, the Zheng family will be doomed.
He gradually made up his mind. After returning, we must convince Zheng Zhilong to keep the Zheng family's empire.
On the other side of the pier, three new warships were put into service, making the Xia Navy beam with joy. The three new ships were named Qingdao, Dengzhou and Yangzhou respectively.
This suddenly gave the East China Sea Fleet four new warships, and its combat effectiveness increased sharply.
"The appearance of these ships will definitely make the Zheng family have trouble sleeping and eating. They will never give in and their actions will become more and more fierce. You must be careful and seize the opportunities that arise." Zuo Mengeng looked at the growing strength The navy was filled with excitement and at the same time gave a secret explanation to Zuo Hua.
