From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 789

Who would have thought that the shy and autistic Diego Burton would suddenly become a master of speech when introducing the battleship, and he talked endlessly.

This also gave Zhou Yuan a more intuitive understanding of the battleship. He couldn't help but ask: "Have you asked the Guangdong Navy to come and familiarize yourself with the battleship?"

Zeng Cheng said: "We have been familiar with it for a long time. Since the construction of the battleship, we have been selecting the captain and the deputy captain. They have followed the construction of the battleship throughout the whole process and have a full understanding of the ship."

"During the formation period of the battleship, we carefully selected the navy soldiers to come on board to explore, and now they are familiar with it."

Speaking of this, Zeng Cheng laughed and said: "But there is still a name. I leave the task of naming to you."

Kolodia said: "Ten warships, including six battleships and four cruisers. Lord Zhou Yuan, name them."

Zhou Yuan fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "The Book of Changes says that a gentleman is persistent, while a villain is always looking forward."

"I hope that our navy of Dajin will be persistent, unwavering, pragmatic and hardworking, and move forward courageously."

"I also hope that they will always climb to the top and stand at the top of the world."

"So the six battleships are named - Hengyong, Hengpan, Henggao, Hengfeng, Hengli, and Hengshi."

Zeng Cheng clenched his fists, tears in his eyes. He has witnessed too much in the past year here. He is more excited than Zhou Yuan and has more feelings.

"Good! Good!"

He shouted: "A gentleman is persistent! Always climb to the top! Stand tall in the world! Good! Good names!"

"Quick! Register! Our Great Jin's battleships! These are the names!"

Zhou Yuan thought for a moment, and then continued: "Heaven moves forward, and a gentleman strives to strengthen himself."

"I hope that our nation and our people will be self-respecting, self-confident, self-reliant, and persevering."

"So the four cruisers are named - Self-Respect, Self-Confidence, Self-Reliance, and Self-Strengthening."

Zeng Cheng shouted: "That's it! That's them!"

Zhou Yuan could understand his excitement.

Because Zhou Yuan had only been in Fuzhou for a day or two, while Zeng Cheng had been there for a year.

He had seen more injustice than Zhou Yuan.

On this day, Zeng Cheng finally drank again.

It had been a full year since the last time he drank, and that was...

"That was the day I said goodbye to you."

Zeng Cheng's face flushed and he was a little drunk.

He sighed, "On the Wangyuan Tower in Yangzhou, you said you wanted to toast me a glass of wine. At that time, I said, it's too early to drink, and it's still not too late to drink after the matter is done."

"Now the ship has been built, but... but I still can't afford this glass of wine."

"We... we came too late!"

He was drunk and couldn't control his emotions for a while, and couldn't help crying: "We came too late!"

"If the Guangdong Sea was defeated, we would come directly and build the Fuzhou Treasure Shipyard directly. We can buy a year, and the people along the coast will not be bullied like this . "

"What cabinet ministers, what imperial envoys, are all bullshit! Bullshit!"

"I watched them kill people, I watched them beat a seven or eight-year-old child to death, just because the child stained a glassware."

"Hahaha, I actually... I can't redress the injustice for that child, because... we have no right to judge, because of that bullshit "Yuehai Treaty"!"

Speaking of this, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but shout to the sky: "Qi Changshi! You deserve to die! Jiang Hao! You deserve to die!"

Zhou Yuan held his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Zeng Da People! Don't get excited! We...we have ships! We have guns!"

Zeng Cheng covered his face and cried: "We are bullied because of our backward weapons. His Majesty wrote to me a few days ago and asked me to return to Beijing."

"I replied, and I said...I, Zeng Cheng, have been an official for my whole life and have not made any great achievements, but the South...I will not leave the South. I would rather die here if I don't drive these foreigners back!"

He looked up at Zhou Yuan and murmured: "Lord Zhongwu, there is nothing you can't do in the war between the North and the South...Can we win this time?"

Zhou Yuan said solemnly: "Definitely We can win! Even if it costs a huge price! We can definitely win!"

"Because our people... still know anger and shame."

"After a long, long time, our people will be bullied but not know anger, enslaved but not know shame... That will be the time when we can't really turn the tide."

"Now, everything is still in time."

Zeng Cheng said in a deep voice: "I... I want to go on the ship myself and watch the foreigners fall!"

"A gentleman is persistent! Never break your promise!"

...

The next day, Guan Lu rushed to the Fuzhou Baochuan Factory to report the situation.

The Shenque has been rooted in Fujian and Guangdong for a long time, and the degree of infiltration is deep, and the intelligence isIt came quickly and accurately.

"The Jinyiwei cooperated with the government officers and soldiers to capture foreigners in six trading ports. The efficiency was very high. Fujian and Guangdong provinces worked together and blocked the coastline. They had nowhere to escape. It is predicted that they should all be captured before dark today."

He took out a thick stack of files and said in a deep voice: "These are the files of foreigners' crimes recorded by local governments. There are more than 400 copies, but there are still a lot of them that have not been recorded."

"After all, the local people have already developed a fear of foreigners. Many people have suffered great losses, but they dare not report to the authorities, because even if they report to the authorities, they will not get a just result."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Have you read this file?"

Guan Lu said: "Time is urgent, just on the way here I will definitely not remember it after reading it once."

Zhou Yuan said: "I will read it once today, and then give it to you. You ask Zou Xueqing and Zhang Tao to judge the foreigners according to the files, find the murderer, and contact the parties involved in the case to give a public trial to the foreigner murderer."

"At the same time, post a notice, asking the people who have not yet reported the case to actively report the case. We promise to redress their grievances."

"The Treaty of Guangdong and Sea has destroyed the authority of the court to a large extent, causing a huge crisis of trust in the court here. We must get it all back."

Guan Lu nodded immediately and said: "I understand."

He handed Zhou Yuan another small box and smiled: "They are all letters."

Zhou Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

Guan Lu left consciously.

Zhou Yuan returned to his room and opened the box. The first letter came from Sichuan. Zhou Yuan was very familiar with the beautiful handwriting, which came from the morning light.

"Brother, there may be something wrong with my body. I didn't wake up until the fourth day after I fell asleep that day."

"I didn't feel energetic after waking up. I practiced in a daze for a few days and fell into a long sleepiness. This time I slept even longer, for six days."

"The headmaster told me to step into the mortal world and strengthen my heart with experience so that I can bear this cause and effect."

"So Chenxi will not come to see brother for the time being. I will follow Sister Cai Ni and Aunt Bai Niao to help with the treatment."

"Everything is fine, please don't worry brother."

Zhou Yuan was silent and handed the letter to the Virgin Sister.

Li Yu'an took a look and said, "It's about the same as I expected. There won't be any problems."

"The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency. She had too many ups and downs in the first half of her life, and she made unimaginable efforts and endured hardships that ordinary people could not bear, so she was favored by heaven, which is to make up for her deficiencies."

"But this power is obviously restricted. She does need more experience and a stronger heart of Tao. In the fog of the Tao, she needs to find her own true Tao to truly transcend."

"Nothing doesn't require a price."

"I just hope she can calm down and slowly search."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "It seems that Cai Ni will not come here for a while. She can't bear to leave her mother."

He looked down and saw that the next letter was written by Cai Ni.
