Jin Shiqi secretly observed Yao Mengyang. Although this fat man had a rough appearance, looking at his expression and listening to his words, it turned out that he also had a delicate heart. This voyage was led by Yao Mengyang. Jin Shiqi thought about it and gradually understood.

This person’s intentions.

Yao Mengyang is not simple, he is also an ambitious person.

Jin Shiqi has long understood that the fundamental reason why he became the "eldest brother" is that his father Jin Guan has the highest position. But the military camp is a troubled place, and now wars are frequent, and this military position can change at any time. If he were present

An elder of one of the young masters has been promoted and became the deputy commander or even the commander-in-chief, so the "eldest brother" may also have to be replaced.

In the final analysis, the relationship between these Longwu gentlemen is due to their family status, not their own talents.

But this situation changed yesterday - Jin Shiqi defeated Wu Sangui, his enemy in the factional struggle, and dared to face the enemy out of the border. Both of these things made him famous in Shanhaiguan. He gained his own reputation and showed his true

The weight of "leader". But these feats are a kind of pressure for Yao Mengyang and other aspiring young men.

In the past, everyone was led by Jin Shiqi, which was just a makeshift to some extent. Anyway, everyone is now under 20 years old, so what if I let you be the leader for the time being. But Jin Shiqi's talent has been shown, and he will even stand up again.

For his military exploits, others may always be behind him.

Therefore, not to be outdone, Yao Mengyang also organized this half-tourist, half-adventure "voyage".

The more Jin Shiqi thought about it, the more he thought about it, and he even began to praise Yao Mengyang for his good strategy. Jin Shiqi was only "one person" in the limelight before, but Yao Mengyang summoned almost all the Longwu masters. This voyage will definitely increase this guy's prestige.

These young men are fair-weather friends at this time, but when the ship sets sail, their relationship will quietly become superior and subordinate in the army. I am afraid that the "eldest brother" in the mouth of the young men will be Yao Mengyang.

Despite this, Jin Shiqi decided not to intervene.

Not only because he doubted whether these young men could manage the Naval Defense Department and let them set sail. The more important reason was that Jin Shiqi could tolerate them in his heart.

"Now that I'm here, I have to make a difference and shake things up." Jin Shiqi boasted that he had unique talents in the world, and he would naturally create great achievements. He thought to himself, "Behind the lion, there must be no antelope or zebra."

Giraffes should be in groups of jackals and leopards! Yao Mengyang, don’t let me down."

"Meng Yang!" Jin Shiqi raised his wine glass, "The sea journey is difficult, and I need my good brother to work harder and take more responsibility. I respect you this glass of wine, my foolish brother."

Jin Shiqi went first as a sign of respect. Upon seeing this, Yao Mengyang and other young masters hurriedly raised their glasses to celebrate the feat of the voyage.

Jin Shiqi felt happy and suddenly remembered something, "Meng Yang, do our two boats have names?"

"Name?" This is the first time Yao Mengyang has heard that ships can have names. "No, only serial numbers. Jin Shibo's ship is 'Longwu 998', and the ancestor's ship is 'Longwu 1024'."

"It's all very auspicious." Jin Shiqi said with a smile, "I heard that large Western ships can sail thousands of miles, and each ship has its own name. It's convenient to call them, and it's also to get a good rap!"

"I'll just ask my brother to name it."

"Well, since it is our brother Longwu's ship, we should call it 'Long and Wu'." Jin Shiqi pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Then they are called 'Long Ze' and 'Wu Teng'!"

All the gentlemen said that these two names were both majestic and flattering, very good, very good. They drank another round of wine, naturally to congratulate the two ships "Longze" and "Wu Teng". Someone asked how the eldest brother got this.

Jin Shiqi said that this good name has been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Do you want to know the future of 'Longze' and 'Wu Teng'?" Jin Shiqi was already a little dizzy from drinking. He staggered to the open space in the center of the cabin, "Let you have a look..."...

Mr. Jin grabbed a piece of fat pork with pickled vegetables and began to draw on the smooth floor.

That is a map: starting from the distant Bering Strait, winding toward the southwest to outline the outline of the Asian continent. The Korean Peninsula, the Liaodong Peninsula, the Shandong Peninsula, the round belly of China, the Pearl River Bay is a small navel, and Hainan Island

, Beibu Gulf, Annan's pretty curves like a woman's waist, and the islands of all sizes, I drew them casually... I didn't remember it so clearly after that, but generally it was pretty accurate all the way to the distance.

The piece of pork belly squeaked on the floor, and the white grease gradually outlined Africa, Europe, and the American continent...

"Do you know what this is?" Jin Shiqi held the table, feeling dizzy, and answered to himself: "This is the world!"

"Brother Jin, how do you know so much!" Several young masters exclaimed. Most of these navy generals' children know the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and it is indeed like this picture. By analogy, the map of the entire world should not be drawn by nonsense!

"I forgot to mention it, eh!" Jin Shiqi burped, his tongue gradually becoming numb, "I am grateful to the director of the Ministry of War, Mr. Sun... Chuyang, for my guidance."

Of course, all the young masters knew the status of the "Head of the Ministry of War" in Liaodong, and some even knew the strength of the civil service system behind Sun Yuanhua. Everyone said, "No wonder, Mr. Sun is a wizard in military engineering." "I have long guessed that behind the magic bow of eldest brother.

I am so smart to have the help of experts." "Our eldest brother actually made friends with this noble man!"

"Oh, there's more." Jin Shiqi added, "Yesterday, we already became disciples of Mr. Sun... Uh! Brothers, I have a teacher!"

As soon as these words came out, everything in the cabin fell silent. Ji Rui said hurriedly: "Brother, did you hear that clearly? Then Master Sun really accepts you as his disciple, or is it... just a polite statement?" There was another straightforward question:

The young master also asked: "Brother, you can't be mistaken. Those big literati look down on our military children."

"How could I fool you?" Jin Shiqi said with a smile, "Mr. Sun also gave me a cousin name, which is 'Xijie'. You should remember it."

When Jin Shiqi said this, everyone had no doubts and rushed forward to congratulate, toast, and make a fuss. Yao Mengyang also said with emotion: "Brother, this is really your blessing!"

"No, dear brother." Jin Shiqi hooked his neck, "This is our destiny!"

Then naturally they all raised their glasses and drank again.

Jin Shiqi was so drunk that he actually stood on the greasy world map and shouted: "Do you know that traveling around the world once is 80,000 miles!"

He opened his mouth and the brothers drank another round of wine. Jin Shiqi gradually became excited and arrogant. He shouted: "As long as there is an outlet to the sea, we can sail all over the world!"

He was completely drunk, he kept drinking, he laughed, he grabbed a brother and asked, "Do you know the meaning of the ocean? It is a dream, it is billowing silver. Europe is too far away, we can't afford it.

But Japan is close to Luzon, so a round trip is three to five times the profit!"

He was helped on the seat, still muttering, "We are so unbearable, we have spent all our time on the shore, we must get out of our boat..."

He jumped up again, waving his sword, "Having an army can only be regarded as an arm. With a navy, we can have both arms! I will take you... to conquer that huge territory...

"

Brother Jin looked so drunk. His sword was taken away, and he was carried off the boat and put on a carriage.

…

I don't know how long I slept.

Jin Shiqi opened his eyes, only to feel that his throat was burning and he had a splitting headache. He stared around in a daze, listening to the wheels rolling under him, and then he realized that he was in a carriage. It was getting dark at this time, and he was probably on the way home.

.….

When Jinbao heard the commotion, he quickly opened the curtain and jumped in, giving him water to drink. Jin Shiqi said, "I didn't expect rice wine to be so powerful."

"You drank half the jar!" Jinbao said angrily.

Jin Shiqi also had some regrets, "Why didn't you stop me?"

"I can't stop you, I even knelt down. Brother, you are so scary, you almost kicked me."

"I...cough, I didn't expect that drinking can be such a good thing." Jin Shiqi felt very guilty. This servant really cared about him, but he always had bad luck following him.

Suddenly, the carriage slowed down, and mutterings could be heard outside. Jin Shiqi was a little suspicious, so he opened the curtain a crack and wanted to ask what happened.

Unexpectedly, before he could ask, the curtain was opened with a crash.

"Brother, are you awake?" It was Jin Cai's servant who came in and saw the young master sitting in the car. He hurriedly said: "Brother, it's terrible!"

"What?"

"Someone came to report that some kind of bullshit distinguished guest came to Carpenter Su's house." Jin Cai pointed his hand outside, "He said he was here to propose marriage!"

"Proposing marriage? Proposing marriage to whom?" Jin Shiqi's mind was still confused...but he suddenly woke up, and he jumped out of the carriage with a bang, "God damn it!"

There was a strange man standing outside the carriage, nodding and bowing, and he was here to report the news. It turned out that the day before yesterday, Jin Shiqi had asked Jin Cai to arrange some informants for Su Carpenter, but unexpectedly, the servant immediately started looking for someone. It was precisely because of this.

In this way, Jin Shiqi got the news in time that "there is a toad that wants to eat Su Mo'er".

"What kind of bastard dares to rob me!" Jin Shiqi was shaking with anger, "Jinbao, this brother will give you a reward. Jincai, you go back to the house immediately, call the king's flag commander, and bring twenty soldiers. Just say

Young Master, I'm crazy, I'm going to cause trouble, damn it." Jin Shiqi gave random orders, then turned to the only two soldiers around him and said: "Let's go, let's fight to the Jianghu camp first. Hurry!"

Jin Shiqi jumped onto the carriage with a swish, and Jin Bao also climbed up hurriedly.

Jin Shiqi was so anxious that he drove the carriage towards Jianghu Camp. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the snow on the ground was reflected in gray-blue light and shadow. A cold north wind was blowing in the wilderness, and there was no sign of it on the road.

A quarter of an hour later, the figure arrived in front of the door of Carpenter Su's house and stopped with a "swish" sound.

Sure enough, there were several large cars parked in front of the door. It seemed that the information was true.

I saw only a few servants wearing ragged long coats, shivering in the car, and kept poking their heads out. Those carriages were only of ordinary quality, and they didn't dare to hang flags. I guess the guy who proposed the marriage was just an ordinary person.

Characters such as petty officials, local rich men, etc.

Jin Shiqi turned over and jumped out of the carriage, holding the sword at his waist, and rushed over like a bull.

"Brother, don't worry." Jin Bao jumped down quickly, his shoulder injury was still hurting.

"If you don't hurry, I will enter the bridal chamber!"

Jin Shiqi stood in front of the door of the carpenter's room, thinking: "Mo'er will definitely not agree. She has me in her heart, and even if she ignores me for a while, she will not fancy anyone else... Uncle Su is even more like this. He will never be able to find someone else in his life."

A son-in-law of my level!"

Jin Shiqi found some confidence, his heart was still pounding. He turned his ear to listen to the sound inside the door. Suddenly, a man's laughter came from inside: "Haha, it's settled!"

Jin Shiqi's scalp exploded, he kicked the door and rushed in.

He stared and was shocked: the room was brightly lit by candles, and a middle-aged man sitting at the table in the middle was actually Wu Sangui's father - Wu Xiang!

There were still six guards hiding in the house, but they did not see the Su family father and daughter. Jin Shiqi was so angry that he lost consciousness. He glared at Wu Xiang and shouted: "Who are you proposing to marry for?"

"Ha, are you still concerned about this?" Wu Xiang sneered, "What a crazy guy."

Suddenly, there were some "woo-woo" sounds...probably coming from the door of the wing. Jin Shiqi's heart tightened, and he only heard Wu Xiang growl: "Take it down!"

Jin Shiqi moved in response——
