Li Zicheng hated the sinister behavior of the Japanese. Thinking about the eight beloved concubines who were so charming that they were buried at the bottom of the sea, one of whom was pregnant and had his own dragon seed. Therefore, Li Zicheng was greeting the Japanese ancestors for several days in a row.

No matter how much hatred, no matter how much greetings, but when you think of the Japanese submarine, Li Zicheng felt a headache. The submarine could lie quietly in the sea and seep out. When you pass by, you will suddenly come to you. Maybe you can be buried at the bottom of the sea. This evil thing is simply too powerful. It is not a day or two to travel to North America. I worry that the submarine will give you some at any time every day. I am worried that the submarine will give you some at any time. Considering this, Li Zicheng stopped on Sakhalin Island and stopped leaving.

Then, Li Zicheng made a request to Chongzhen, asking the Ming Dynasty to rent a submarine to escort his fleet.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had already used the telegram system, and of course it was also equipped on Sakhalin Island. The Ming Dynasty sent Li Zicheng's request to Nanjing at the telegram station on Sakhalin Island.

Chongzhen also had a headache when he received the telegram. He thought to himself that the Japanese were always used to using tricks. In later generations, the Japanese had a lot of bad deeds. In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, they were addicted to doing things. Of course, the Japanese who traveled through time also knew that once Li Zicheng died in history, the Dashun army was divided and their combat power was greatly reduced. The Japanese must have believed that as long as Li Zicheng was killed at sea and turned to deal with the Dashun army in Canada, it would be much easier. Or the Japanese were thinking that the Dashun army lost Li Zicheng's unified leadership, in their eyes, the Dashun soldiers were just a group of future prisoners of war, and directly regarded them as a group of pioneering North America coolies in the future.

But looking back, Li Zicheng is a master, you have to follow him.

OK! For the sake of the prince accompanying Li Zicheng, I felt much more balanced in my heart, and Li Zicheng was willing to pay for rent, at least not lose money. Of course, the most important thing is that autumn is about to pass and winter is coming soon. If you don’t send Li Zicheng away, maybe Li Zicheng has to be in Sakhalin Island for a winter, which is not conducive to the overall situation. Chongzhen immediately transferred two small reconnaissance submarines and two anti-submarine speedboats from Vladivostok to go to Sakhalin Island to escort Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was finally very confident. After two days of energy conservation in Sakhalin Island, he gave an order and set sail eastward. The previous fleet had already set off, leaving only 15,000 men and horses, and took more than 100 ships to march eastward.

After the fleet arrived at the Canka Peninsula, the prince stayed, and the fleet continued to advance eastward after supply.

The rest of the journey was long. Although there were two concubines accompanying Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng was now on the warship. This was a thousand-ton warship. Although it had been modified, it was far less luxurious than a cruise ship. Imagining the deep courtyard of Beijing's palace, I could stay in the palace for the rest of my life and enjoy myself without leaving the palace. When I arrived on the ship, Li Zicheng became less interested in enjoying himself.

Fortunately, Song Xiance was accompanied by Li Yan and Wang Youqing. When you were bored, the king and his ministers chatted, or watched Li Yan and Wang Youqing play chess, you could also spend some time.

Wang Youqing's chess power is much higher than Li Yan, and it is even rare to win the four-piece chess. Song Xianca's chess power is even better than Li Yan, and he is not even a match for Wang Youqing. As for Li Zicheng, he just knows Go, and is just watching the fun and enjoying time.

One day, fog suddenly appeared on the sea, and the fog became thicker and thicker. The thick fog covered the sea surface, and the light became darker and darker. A cloud of blur was found between more than ten meters, and six ships collided.

As soon as the fog dissipated, it encountered a typhoon again. The typhoon was wrapped in heavy rain and raging wildly, and then the entire sea became like hell. The ship rushed up the wave peak and fell into the wave valley. The huge waves came, and the ship seemed to be swallowed up by the wave head and broken by the wave head. The fleet was like paper boats in the storm, floating and without weight. It threw over the wave peak and valley, sinking and floating up, turning over and over --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the storm, the ships were counted and twenty-one ships were gone.

The iron ship where Li Zicheng is also swaying in the huge waves. Li Zicheng has experienced strange dangers, but he cannot calm down in the face of this danger. When the wind and waves are at its most urgent, Li Zicheng's face turned pale, and he didn't know whether he would follow the ship beneath the sea next moment.

In the storm, no one can survive alone, and even Li Zicheng was no exception. After experiencing this, almost all of them vomited in a mess.

Fortunately, the typhoon and heavy rain finally passed, the sea calmed down, and the voyage had to continue.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The sun rises, and there is another blue sky and blue sea. I am used to seeing the blue sky and blue sea, and I no longer feel the scenery is charming. I just feel that the journey is particularly long, as if it is far away from North America. The feeling of being unreliable and lack of land makes people feel that people are really small between heaven and earth!

After experiencing such a dangerous situation, Li Zicheng still had to use chat to pass the time, but when chatting, he was more casual and less likely to feel arrogant.

On this day, Li Zicheng, Song Xiance, Li Yan and Wang Youqing played a lot of cards. When Li Zicheng was so excited, he started to talk about new topics:

"You said, how big a ship should be built to avoid typhoons and heavy rains, and to rush around the sea?"

Song Xiance immediately thought of the giant Japanese iron ship, so he said:

"I heard that the Japanese have a large iron ship. I wonder if that large iron ship can withstand the surging winds and waves on the sea?"

Wang Youqing shook her head and said:

"The Japanese iron ship has a displacement of only more than 4,000 tons. When it encounters strong winds and huge waves, it is of course better than our thousand-ton ship, but it may still not be able to withstand the storm. I heard from the Ming Emperor that even an iron ship that is twice as big as the Japanese iron ship will sink when it encounters an unlucky sea storm."

Chongzhen was based on the shipwreck in Yantai in later generations. The 10,000-ton Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro-Roading was hit by the ships of Yantai. After the typhoon, statistics from the US military showed that 12 warships sank, 222 warships were stranded, 32 warships were seriously damaged and almost impossible to repair, and nearly 200 aircraft were damaged. However, such things were rare after all. After aboard a warship of three or four thousand tons, they were still quite able to resist wind and waves. When encountering typhoons and huge waves, they would at most stranded and stranded, and the shipwrecks would not be sunk.

Li Yan felt that Wang Youqing was a little exaggerated, so he said:

"I think Zheng He had probably encountered typhoons for seven voyages in the West, but he was safe! Could it be that Zheng He was so lucky? Or was Zheng He's ship bigger than the giant Japanese iron ship?"

Li Yan said this, and Li Zicheng and Song Xiance also found the problem interesting, so they both turned their attention to Wang Youqing, and it depends on what Wang Youqing said.

Wang Youqing thought for a while and said:

"According to literature, Zheng He's treasure ship is 150 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 25 meters high. If calculated in this way, the tonnage has reached more than 40,000 tons. Unfortunately, after Director Wang's examination, Zheng He's treasure ship will definitely not exceed 40,000 tons. Many circumstantial evidence proves Director Wang's statement. According to Director Wang's calculations, it would be good to build a ship of 3,500 tons with wood. Only with steel can you build a giant ship of more than 10,000 tons. As for why Zheng He's fleet is safe every time, this may be as Lord Li said, it is God bless Zheng He."

Li Zicheng smiled and said:

"So, it's nothing wrong for me, Li Zicheng, to experience great storms, it's God to bless me, Li Zicheng!"

Song Xiance gave him a high hat by the way:

"Your Majesty is auspicious person, and he will naturally be blessed by God!"

Li Zicheng smiled faintly, feeling like he had once been in the ocean, then sighed and said:

"I have experienced countless dangers in my life, and it can be regarded as experiencing great storms. However, this time I have experienced great storms. The dangers on this sea are unimaginable and cannot be resisted by human power. Wang Aiqing just said that using steel can create a giant ship that is ten times larger than this ship, but I don't know if it can be really built. If it can be built, when will such a giant ship be built?"

Wang Youqing has been used to being casual in front of Chongzhen all year round, and has never had any taboos. When he arrived at Li Zicheng, he also said wherever he thought of:

"Your Majesty met with the Emperor Ming Dynasty that day, and that ship was twice as big as this one. I heard that the warships launched this year were much larger. According to Director Wang, the Japanese and Ming Dynasty were calling out. It is unknown who built the larger ship and who built the faster ship. I am afraid that in two or three years, it is impossible to really build a 10,000-ton-class giant ship."

Li Zicheng was shocked by the 1,800-ton iron ship that day. Now it seems that the iron ship can only be backward in the future. Damn! If you want such a shipbuilding method, the Dashun navy - well, it should be called the Dashun navy - is not on the same level as the Ming navy and cannot confront the Japanese navy.

Li Zicheng frowned and said:

"According to what Wang Aiqing said, we bought a 1,000-ton iron ship, and we could not beat Japan at sea. In a while, Chongzhen sold another 1,800-ton iron ship to Dashun for me, and we would still be suppressed by the Japanese. His mother's money was spent on the sea, but he still couldn't beat Japan. Isn't this money spent unjustly!"

Li Yan was also in a mixed mood at this time. It was a good thing that Da Ming was strong, but Da Shun had to face Japan, which was pressing Da Shun everywhere, and said in his mouth:

"If Dashun wants to overwhelm Japan, he has to build his own guns and cannons, or even build his own ships. Always buying from the Ming Dynasty is not a solution."

Song Xiance sighed:

"We have just gained a foothold in North America. If we want to do industry, we will build a few cement kilns and an iron smelting farm. How can we compare with the Ming Dynasty? I'm afraid that at least the first two years will have to buy all kinds of arms from the Ming Dynasty. Even if the transportation route is long, it's all for the time being."

Li Zicheng hesitated for a while and said resolutely:

"No, we have to build our own guns and cannons as soon as possible, and also build our own ships. Otherwise, when we arrive in North America, we will definitely be bullied by Japan."

Li Zicheng thoughtfully said that labor and capital still want to seek revenge on others. If they can't beat the Japanese, then how can they talk about revenge!

Song Xiance spread his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, that's it, but it's not easy to build guns, cannons and ships, and it's not easy to build fireworks, unless the Ming Dynasty was willing to support it."

Li Zicheng slapped the table and said angrily:

"In order to survive Japan, it's worth it! Wang Aiqing, look, what are the good tricks to ask Chongzhen to help us build guns, cannons and ships? If you have any good solutions, you will be rewarded if you propose it."

Wang Youqing didn't expect Li Zicheng to say this. North America is still in the pioneering stage. Even if you want to work hard and quickly start industrial development, there is no condition. Your expression was solemn, and you said:

"Your Majesty, the reason why I, Wang Youqing, defected to Your Majesty was that I was dissatisfied with the dark corruption of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. The corruption of the Ming Dynasty was difficult to rectify. Even Emperor Chongzhen had no good plans for the time being, so he had to just live a while. The solution I could think of was nothing but transform from the grassroots level, but it was not easy! Therefore, when Your Majesty intends to travel east to North America, I felt that this might be a great opportunity. On a new land, it might be possible to build a new country. Not to mention that there is no **, at least it is still clear and clear. This is my ideal. I, Wang Youqing, will naturally do my best to assist Your Majesty, regardless of gains and losses. I hope Your Majesty can understand my position."

Wan Youqing paused, saw Li Zicheng nodding, and then said:

"Your Majesty, Dashun goes to North America to expand territory and build a country, this is a feat that has never been seen in history! But all the creations are sought, I think I have to rely more on the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty just made an agreement with the Ming Emperor, and I am afraid there are still shortcomings."

"What should we do according to my dear?"

"I once heard from Emperor Chongzhen that Poland and Lithuania were two countries. In order to deal with Tsarist Russia, the two countries formed an alliance to establish the Polish and Lithuanian Federation. After the establishment of the federation, they really worked together to fight Tsarist Russia, which made Tsarist Russia unable to take advantage of it. In view of this, I dared to propose a strategy, which was to imitate the story of Poland and Lithuania, and also form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, such as forming a Daming Dashun Federation. In this way, at least we will have enough confidence to deal with Japan. Whether it is making guns, cannons or ships in the future, the Daming Ming will naturally help Dashun. In this way, with the vast territory of North America, it is as prosperous as the Ming Dynasty, and it is just around the corner!"

Li Zicheng laughed and asked:

"If I had such a federation, could I, Li Zicheng, still be the emperor?"

Wang Youqing was not very clear about the Federation, but it did not prevent him from saying anything nonsense:

"Since the Federation is a Union, it is worthy of having a master and a secondary one, but Europe emphasizes relatives, so it is normal for this federal system to have two emperors."

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and said:

"Well, this federation is quite interesting. I went to North America, but my roots are still in the Ming Dynasty, and my ancestors are still in the Ming Dynasty. I set up a federation with the Ming Dynasty. It was originally a feudal relationship, connected with flesh and blood, and there was nothing abrupt about building a federation. Well, it also made me not forget my hometown. Okay! I have to think about it carefully before making a reason."
