Zhuo Yiqing had no idea that he would become a celebrity in the white Western world.

She just likes her current life very much.

You can let go and fight freely, without having to worry about the old, weak, women and children at the rear.

The Chinese have helped them solve all their worries.

These pirates originally just wanted a bite to eat and a way to survive for themselves.

But now they no longer have to worry about having enough to eat.

Their families also lived a stable life.

What they have to do now is to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that the Chinese can rise, their families can enjoy eternal peace, and more Chinese people can live a happy life.

Such a goal is obviously much more noble than the original one.

Zhuo Yiqing was born to be a commander at sea.

Although she is a female figure, she exudes a convincing personality.

The sailing battleships of the Second Fleet were the fastest to repair, so they left Toban Island and headed north soon after the war.

Dong Liang was also worried that the foothold he finally established in Zhoushan would be taken back by the Qing army again.

Fortunately, Zhuo Yiqing did not disappoint him.

The Second Fleet now has ten sailing battleships, twenty rocket boats, and a crew of 3,000 sailors. It is also equipped with two marine brigades. Most of the soldiers were selected by Dong Liang from the garrison.

In this way, Zhuo Yiqing has the ability to fight on land, which makes up for their shortcomings.

In addition, Dong Liang also gave Zhuo Yiqing some weapons and equipment and asked her to form a militia in the Zhoushan Islands.

The Zhoushan Islands are different from ordinary small islands. There are a large number of people on the islands and there is land that can be cultivated.

Dinghai City in Zhoushan Islands was an important maritime fortress of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In fact, by taking Zhoushan, the whole of Zhejiang is equivalent to opening its arms to the escort army, but Dong Liang does not yet have the strength to spread the stall so big.

His current goal is Zhangzhou.

On April 18th of the third year of Xianfeng, Dong Liang took the oath at Anping Port to go to Fujian.

Chinese government officials, Zhenhua University students, and representatives of the common people were all standing at the pier. Although there were many people, they were still orderly.

The organizational ability of the Chinese people was most vividly demonstrated at this time.

Among the common people, there are village chiefs and brigade captains who direct everyone to line up, and among the students in the academies, there are teachers to maintain order, not to mention officials.

Moreover, under the rule of the Chinese, everyone seems to have become accustomed to queuing and to the kind of arranged life.

When the soldiers lined up on the dock to listen to Dong Liang's lectures, the common people were also listening attentively.

Although they were far away and could not hear clearly, everyone felt proud in their hearts.

Dong Liang originally didn't like organizing people to participate in these collective activities, because he was worried that it would waste everyone's time.

But later, he discovered that these activities could greatly enhance the centripetal force of the Chinese people.

Moreover, people also regard these collective activities as some pastimes in life.

They can't work every day, right?

Moreover, people's spare time life in this era is relatively boring.

All five steam paddle cruisers have been repaired, and even the outside of the hull has been painted with new paint.

Three of them were captured from the Americans and two from the British.

The tonnage of these five warships is almost the same, all around 3,000 tons. Looking at the entire Far East Sea, they are considered a powerful naval force.

Dong Liang named them "Yangwu", "Meiyun", "Fuxing", "Fubo" and "Anlan" respectively.

They are collectively known as the "Yangwu" class steam paddlewheel wooden hull cruisers.

Although they were all captured battleships, they were quickly replaced by armored cruisers built by the Chinese Navy.

However, the "Yangwu" class battleships provided conditions for the rise of the Chinese navy and are known as the cradle of the Chinese navy.

These five warships and the "Tong'an" and "Haicheng", two steam-powered gunboats converted from merchant ships, formed a formation and sailed westward amidst the sound of steam whistles.

Dong Liang was standing on the spacious deck of the "Yangwu" at this time. This was a deck made of fine oak, and naval soldiers would wipe it clean every morning.

This warship was originally Perry's ship "Mississippi". Its original mission was to conquer the East, but now it has become the guardian of the East.

Standing next to Dong Liang was Shang Yun, who was still wearing a long white dress and had a tall figure.

The excellent genes of the royal family gave her a charming appearance and a noble temperament.

What's even more rare is that she also has a loving heart as a doctor.

"Actually, you don't have to come out with me every time. We already have a group of army doctors, and I think their swordsmanship skills have also matured.

Chinese doctors are completely fed by a large number of surgical practice opportunities.

Since its establishment until now, the Guards has been fighting almost continuously.

Most of the captured wounded were left to the groom for training, and no one would be held accountable for medical malpractice anyway.

As for those prisoners, being treated in this era is considered preferential treatment, and they must be grateful.

"I grew up in Ryukyu. Okinawa is actually very small, and Shuri Castle is not as big as a landlord's compound in the Central Plains. We were locked up in the palace and were not allowed to run around. I often stood on the palace wall and looked at the sea.

It is a very happy thing for me to be able to go to sea with you and see different scenery now. What’s more, all of these men are rough and dirty, and my knife skills are not as good as mine.”

Shang Yun's jade hand made a gesture of holding a scalpel, and a rare playful smile appeared on his face.

She has always been quite dignified, especially in front of outsiders.

Only occasionally in front of Dong Liang would he show a little bit of a womanly attitude.

"I think you have always wanted to use a knife on me. Fortunately, I have the protection of the Human Emperor and the protection of the King Kong."

"Stop talking, you can't say such nonsense." Shang Yun quickly stretched out a hand to cover Dong Liang's mouth.

At this time, a gust of wind blew and the warship swayed. Because Shang Yun was stepping forward to cover Dong Liang's mouth, his center of gravity suddenly became unstable and his body fell forward.

Shang Yun really didn't mean it. Her figure is slender and her center of gravity is unstable, so she falls easily.

Dong Liang instinctively opened his arms to support Shang Yun, and the two hugged each other.

I haven't had time to feel the soft touch coming from my body.

Dong Liang heard a rustling sound coming from behind the chimney.

As if knowing that they had been noticed, Zhuo Lang and Shang Tai ran towards the cabin.

"You two brats, you two will take care of the deck tomorrow morning." Dong Liang shouted hysterically when his good deed was revealed.

"Hehe..." Seeing Dong Liang's embarrassed look, Shang Yun covered his mouth and laughed.

"Sigh...Shangtai has been very close to Zhuo Lang recently and has been led astray. Why doesn't he learn from Su Da?" Dong Liang sighed.

"It's not like you want to bring them out. I'm probably too excited. I, the royal brother, have been locked up in the palace since childhood to learn the rules. I guess I have been depressed for a long time. He envies Zhuo Lang's free and uninhibited life the most." Shang Yun helped.

His brother argued.

"They are actually not young anymore. In this era, it is normal for them to do things when they are fourteen or fifteen years old. When they are in their twenties, do I still expect them to be independent?" Dong Liang said.

He has high expectations for his youth class disciples. In fact, in his heart, these children are copies of himself.

Isn't the continuation of civilization just a process of copying and pasting oneself from generation to generation? Of course, there are also some mistakes in this process, which lead to the emergence of changed individuals. Each of these changes constitutes the development of human beings.

Although Dong Liang had many followers in this era, he was actually lonely in his heart.

Those adult followers have formed their own inherent worldview. Even if they are influenced by him, their original worldview will still maintain a certain degree of inertia.

This formed a certain gap between them, and these half-grown children, whose worldview has not yet been fully formed, are easily influenced by Dong Liang.

Dong Liang was originally a teacher, and he knew how to influence children to establish their own worldview and values.

This time he brought these children back to his homeland to let them see the hardships of starting a business. After a while, they will go to the West to study through the channels of the Ryukyu Kingdom. This process may take two or three years. When they come back

By that time, the Chinese may already have a foundation, and they will also enter their own positions to shine.

But they were destined to miss the most difficult stage of starting a business, so Dong Liang took them with him this time.
