C1862 The Theory of Reliance

The Zhiyuan Warship sailed southwest from the Bay of Sribaga, passing the Old Mother Dark Sand, the Natuna Islands, the Anamabas Islands … She headed straight for the star slope's Strait, where the entire Malacca Strait's east entrance was.

The weather was excellent, the ship had gone through a dry dock overhaul long ago, and it was in great condition now. It had enough water and coal on its bow to split open the waves, and it headed south while circling the seabirds.

The Sail battleship s and steamers that accompanied them followed closely behind. The vast fleet shocked countless ships on the sea along the way.

The European merchant ships were all staring at this legendary and most advanced battleship in awe, especially after seeing the Great Qing Dragon flag and the Chinese leader Xiao Taini. All the ships did not dare delay and quickly gave way to the main channel, not allowing this dignified battleship to pass by.

Between the two ships, the captain, first mate, second mate, and many sailors on the deck took off their hats and bowed, with the exception of the French.

Especially the American and Prussian merchant ships, when they met the Zhiyuan Warship, they would all blow their flute in respect. The flag bearers immediately sent out the words' Long live the emperor 'and' Long live the prime minister '.

This was the first time they had seen Home Country's battleship. At this moment, they had already heard the news that the Belait had won, and the quality of the telegraph line that the Nanyang Chinese had pulled was reliable.

"Long live the Emperor! "Long live the leader …" The fishermen who were fishing kowtowing on the deck, one after another, were not afraid of the forest of cannons on the Zhiyuan Warship. The soldiers who were like gods of death were driving the small boat up.

People were kneeling down in worship, holding the most fresh rice wine and seafood as tribute!

It was hard to refuse such kindness. These simple fishermen followed them the entire way, and if they did not accept any gifts, they would not leave. The Zhiyuan Warship had no choice but to put down the basket and accept the worship from these fishermen.

The freshest fish, prawns, crabs, as well as vats of rice wine and tropical fruits, these lowly commoners used the harvest they had earned with all their effort to offer worship to their king and sage officials. That was the belief in their hearts, and more importantly, the support they had in their blissful lives.

Zai Chun was moved by all these and fought a few rounds. This was not like the three kowtows and nine kowtows that were trained by the Ministry of Rites, but a love from the people, this kind of love was extremely strong and even Xiao Letian felt that his nose was sore, let alone a thirteen year old Zai Chun.

"Shi …" Master... I am not their emperor? But why are they still kneeling and worshipping me? " It seemed that the continuous education had worked. Zai Chun had actually forgotten the principle of whether one could be a king or a country, and whether one could be a king in this world.

"Because you are their faith!" Xiao Letian said in a low voice, "It is very difficult for humans to live in the human world, and there is a sense of insecurity everywhere. People may encounter famine a few times in their lives, or natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and even war bandits, bandits, evil soldiers and so on."

"Insecure people hope for that sense of security. Even children who are bullied outside know to return home to find their mother. An old man who has nothing to rely on meets a vicious dog, so he has to lean against a wall even if he has to hit his dog …"

"What is a Sovereign King? What is a country? He was the wall in the hearts of the commoners, a backer! When they're in danger, they know someone will come to their rescue, that's all. "

"They really treat kings as if they were their parents. They sincerely hope that all kings and ministers can protect them like how their parents love their children …"

"Protect!" That's all. Whoever can provide these is the Lord of the world! "

"Oh Zai Chun, I, Xiao Letian, protected them with my army and guns, so they call me Hail the Chief! But you are the emperor of the Great Qing, an emperor who came out of her country for the first time in 200 years. They called you Hail, because they hoped that one day, you would become the one who could protect them! "

"Are you prepared?" Xiao Letian lightly patted Zai Chun's shoulder.

Hearing Master's words, Zai Chun's eyes became red and swollen again, "Master, I understand! I am already prepared to become the father of a king who loves her people when I take charge of my own affairs! I want to become the backing of all the people in the world! "

Xiao Letian nodded his head, "Alright! Tonight, we will eat the seafood sent over by these commoners. After a good sleep, we will be able to see the star slope! "

On the sea, over a hundred different types of ships were bowing to the Zhiyuan Warship, and the master and disciple at the bow of the ship was putting on a show that was filled with the love between master and disciple.

However, Lin Zhen, who was leaning on Zhi Yuan's cannon, looked coldly at Zai Chun's back. He sneered in his heart, "Damn, you think that you, a little girl, can become the backer of hundreds of millions of Chinese people? With that small body of yours, wouldn't you be dead relying on it? "It's just a card in the hand of the leader, do you really think you're a king?"

"I just want to see how happy you are right now. Sooner or later, the day when you pull the namelist will come …" Tattoo with a pig's tail, pui! " A mouthful of phlegm flew out into the sea, braving the sea breeze.

Lin Zhen was one of the elders in the Rangers, his position was just below Xiang Ying, and he was also a fanatical militarist and worshiper. In their eyes, sooner or later, he would become a piece of cooked meat.

Just as he spat out the phlegm, Lin Zhen felt a fiery gaze on him, he turned his head and saw that it was Cai Bixia. Lin Zhen stuck out his tongue and laughed, and it seemed that Cai Bixia had already guessed what Lin Zhen was scolding him about.

Lin Zhen made a gesture of begging for forgiveness, then strode over to the leader and saluted while shouting, "Reporting to the leader, please order the menu for tonight … Hehe, Kitchen has received more than 60 kinds of seafood, I really don't know what to do.

"Give the leader a suggestion, the sea urchins sent by the fishermen are really fresh. Eat this if I want to recommend it …"

Xiao Letian did not care about what he ate tonight. He looked at his pocket watch and said, "Zai Chun, go and pick what you want. Bring Shang Tai over when you get back. "When you meet up with the British tomorrow, you will have to bring out the majesty of the Emperor, and then you won't be able to run around and play around!"

"Where's Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi? Call them over here, I have orders! "

"Yes sir!" Lin Zhen accepted his orders and retreated, but before he left, he was still smiling like a flower, teasing Zai Chun. "Your majesty! Listen to me, sea urchins are absolutely fresh, lute shrimp are also very good... Oh yeah, I heard Xiao Sixi has a special ability? Lend it to me for two days and let him teach me! "

Seeing that Lin Zhen was friendly, and wanted to be popular, Zai Chun decided to walk in together with him into the boat cabin.

"Hehe …" Brother Lin, you are interested? Xiao Sixi has received secret training in the harem, and has a good stomach. If you want me to do it, then he will teach you three moves … "

"How can three moves be used? Your Majesty, please don't be stingy. Train a few more blows, at least eighteen blows! "
