Jin Peng stopped and said, "General Zheng, please speak!"
"The thing is like this..."
Zheng Chiyuan roughly told Jin Peng what happened today and the situation encountered by the Jinchuan.
"General Zheng suspects that the thieves will attack the Taiping?" Jin Peng asked with a frown.
"Although there is no direct evidence that they will attack the Taiping, I am very worried," Zheng Chiyuan said: "You should also be careful!"
"Yes!" Jin Peng nodded solemnly.
He didn't know when he would be able to return from this voyage. He originally planned to go ashore to see his friends in the town while he was checking and replenishing supplies, and also let the sailors and escorts go back to see their families again.
Now hearing what Zheng Chiyuan said, Jin Peng gave up the idea and asked his deputy to inform the sailors that no one could leave the dock.
Hong Taoping and Mancang led two teams, one from front to back and one from back to front, and each inspected the Taiping.
While they were inspecting, the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce also began to replenish supplies on the ship.
I don't know whether the enemy really didn't intend to attack the Taiping, or whether Zheng Chiyuan's defense was too tight. Even after the inspection and material replenishment work was completed, nothing abnormal was found.
Jin Peng had been chatting with Luo Shuichuan and others, and when he saw Hong Taoping Mancang and the people from the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce retreating, he also stood up.
"General Zheng, brothers, I will remember your reminder!"
Jin Peng saluted several people with a military salute: "Brothers, let's set off!"
"Victory soon!"
Zheng Chiyuan stood up and returned the military salute.
"Victory soon!"
Luo Shuichuan, Niu Shuanzi and others also saluted and shouted.
The officer took the lead, and other escorts and workers immediately put down their work and saluted the Taiping.
Jin Peng and Hong Taoping said hello to the whole warehouse, then took the sailors aboard the Taiping, stood on the deck and returned the military salute below.
Woo!
The Taiping blew its whistle and slowly sailed out of the dock.
"Brother, you must come back safely!"
Niu Shuanzi watched the Taiping go further and further, praying silently in his heart.
Before, he always felt that the Taiping was an iron-clad ship with steam engine power, so it couldn't go anywhere on the sea.
But after a trip to the East, he understood that long voyages were indeed, as Jin Feng said, full of unknown dangers.
They had just made a trip to the East and almost couldn't come back. When they thought about the Taiping having to travel tens of thousands of miles, taking a road that no one had ever traveled before, and looking for a new continent that no one had ever discovered, Niu Shuanzi felt...
More bad luck than good.
But he knew the significance of this journey.
Jin Feng once said that every generation has its own historical mission that it needs to undertake. Niu Shuanzi always couldn't understand it before and didn't know what it meant.
At this time, watching the Taiping sail into the unknown without hesitation, Niu Shuanzi suddenly understood.
Perhaps this is the historical mission that their generation of sailors needs to undertake!
So Jinpeng and the sailors knew that this trip was dangerous and they might never come back, but they still embarked on the journey without hesitation!

Thinking of this, Niu Shuanzi raised his arm again and saluted the Taiping as it was drifting away!
Zheng Chiyuan also watched the Taiping leave, then said hello to Hong Taoping and left the dock.
As soon as I walked to the door of the dock, I saw Shui Wa and Shen Xiuxiu squatting on the roadside not far away.
Seeing Zheng Chiyuan coming out, Shui Wa quickly pulled Shen Xiuxiu and ran over.
"General Zheng, General Zheng!"
Shui Wa stood in front of Zheng Chiyuan.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Chiyuan stopped and asked.
"Xiuxiu wants to go to Sichuan and Sichuan to thank the Imperial Master in person. We want to ask you to approve a note for taking the speed boat!" Shui Wa replied.
Normally, if a Navy soldier needs to take a speedboat, he only needs to go to the Navy company commander in charge of the matter.
However, Shui Wa and Shen Xiuxiu were just two little kids, and they had to go to a place as far away as Sichuan and Sichuan. The company commander in charge was worried that something would happen to them on the way, so he didn't dare to approve the note.
In the end, Shui Wa was so pestered that he moved Zheng Chiyuan out, saying that he had no authority, and asked Shui Wa to find Zheng Chiyuan.
The company commander originally wanted to scare Shui Wa with Zheng Chiyuan, but Shui Wa was so stubborn that he actually took Shen Xiuxiu to find Zheng Chiyuan.
But Zheng Chiyuan had already gone to the dock at that time, and Shui Wa took Shen Xiuxiu to wait at the door of the dock.
After waiting until now, I finally waited for Zheng Chiyuan.
"Going to Sichuan and Shu to thank the Imperial Master in person?"
Zheng Chiyuan glanced at Shui Wa, and then looked at Shen Xiuxiu up and down, his mind running rapidly.
Zheng Chiyuan is a standard veteran official. Although he has been doing practical things recently, it does not mean that he no longer speculates about his leadership.
It was indeed Jin Feng's personal order for the Jinchuan to go to the East to hunt down pirates. Now that the Jinchuan is back, it stands to reason that it should report to Jin Feng.
The captured Japanese princes and princesses should also be sent to Sichuan and Shu and presented to Jin Feng to demonstrate the achievements and majesty of Dakang Navy.
For both public and private reasons, it would be beneficial and harmless for Shen Xiuxiu to go to Sichuan and Shu.
Thinking of this, Zheng Chiyuan looked at Shen Xiuxiu and asked: "Miss Xiuxiu, do you really want to thank the Imperial Master?"
"Yes!" Shen Xiuxiu nodded heavily: "If it weren't for the Imperial Preceptor, my father, uncle, and brother's revenge would never be avenged. I am really grateful to the Imperial Preceptor and want to thank him in person!"
"What a sensible and good girl!" Zheng Chiyuan rubbed Shen Xiuxiu's head, nodded and said: "I am just about to arrange for someone to take a speedboat to Jinchuan to report to the teacher. You can follow them to see the Imperial Master!"
"General Zheng, what about me? What about me?" Shui Wa asked anxiously.
"What's wrong with you?" Zheng Chiyuan asked with squinting eyes.
"I also want to go to Sichuan and Sichuan with Xiuxiu!" Shui Wa said quickly.
"Shui baby, don't forget, you are a navy soldier, you must obey orders and you cannot leave the team at will!"
Zheng Chiyuan said angrily: "If everyone comes and leaves when they say the same as you, will there be anyone left in the navy?"
"I didn't come when I said I would come or leave when I said I would leave!"
Shui Wa hurriedly defended: "Didn't you give our Jinchuan a ten-day holiday? If we take a speedboat, it will be enough for me to go back and forth!"
"General Zheng, I'm scared to be alone. Please ask Brother Shui Wa to accompany me to Sichuan and Shu!"
Shen Xiuxiu also helped Shui Wa plead for mercy.
But Zheng Chiyuan still shook his head and refused: "Xiuxiu
