Chapter 217 The eldest son of the emperor

This person is not someone else. It is Xiao Haoyu, the eldest son of Xiao Tianjian. He is just 16 years old. He may not be an adult in later generations and should still enjoy a good life under the care of his family.

However, as the eldest prince, he did not enjoy the life of stretching out his clothes and opening his mouth like the princes of all dynasties.

After so many years, the three imperial concubines have jointly given birth to eight children for Xiao Tianjian. One man and one woman died early because of illness. Now there are still three men and three women who are gradually growing up. Xiao Tianjian, the father, does not give them too much love for his children, but this is not He doesn't care about these children.

In fact, Xiao Tianjian loves these children very much. Since they were very young, his father often took time to take these children to play in the palace in their busy schedule, hold them on their knees and tell them stories.

But when they were five or six years old, Xiao Tianjian did not follow the old way of educating princes, but changed their names to bepseudones, and then placed them in the primary school in the capital. Like ordinary students, he received the most ordinary education, and at most hired some tutors to provide them. Make up for some courses.

Xiao Tianjian strictly ordered anyone not to reveal their true identity, including themselves, nor to anyone to disclose their identity, including the school's teachings. In addition to very few people who know their true identity, the rest of the people also regard them as the children of an officer or an ordinary official at most. Treat.

In addition to studying in school as ordinary people, Xiao Tianjian also ordered them to go to various parts of China as ordinary people during the holiday, let them go into the people, understand the sufferings of the world, and even open up a small piece of land for them to learn farming, and all by him. We complete the cultivation, fertilization, weeding and harvesting by ourselves. Except for the necessary guidance, no one is allowed to help.

In this way, in these years, his children have completed primary and secondary education. His eldest daughter Xiao Xueru chose to enter the Medical College of the Tai Medical Bureau to continue her studies, while her second daughter Xiao Jiashan chose to enter Beijing Normal University to continue her studies. The youngest third daughter is still studying in middle school.

The three princes are also studying in ordinary schools. The eldest prince has graduated from middle school, the second prince is still studying in middle school, and the youngest son has just gone to primary school.

As the eldest son of the emperor, Xiao Haoyu, after graduating from middle school with excellent results two years ago, he did not choose to enter the university for further study, but resolutely chose to enter the Royal Naval Martial Arts Hall and became a naval cadet.

It is also Xiao Haoyu's decision that all male members of the royal family will enter the military service in the future. Gradually, it has become a habit. As long as the male members of the royal family reach their age, as long as there is no special physical reason, they will all enter the army, whether it is the army or the sea. The military is good. In short, they have to serve at least three years of military service. After that, it depends on their own choice if they want to continue to stay in the military industry or continue to return to college for further study and do other things.

When the Great China and North Korea decided to send an expeditionary fleet to Australia, Xiao Haoyu learned the news and immediately joined some students to participate in the expedition.

Fan Yutong, as Xiao Haoyu's mother, learned the news and was very reluctant to let Xiao Haoyu participate in this action. He repeatedly asked Xiao Tianjian to stop Xiao Haoyu's decision.

In this era, sailing is actually a very risky thing. Although the current ships are getting bigger and bigger, there are hundreds of people in a boat. It can be imagined that the living conditions and sanitary conditions are very bad. Every time you go to sea, even if you don't encounter pirates or fight, you will drift on the sea for a few months, and each ship There will be some people who will die of illness and never be able to return to the place where they started.

At the beginning, Fan Yutong was very resistant to Xiao Haoyu's investment in the naval martial arts hall. However, because of Xiao Haoyu's persistence and the support of Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Haoyu finally entered the naval martial arts hall. Now he is going to follow the expeditionary fleet to distant Australia, not to mention how many storms he will experience along the way, even if After arriving there, in a barren land, the human mortality rate is also very high.

Fan Yutong is also very clear about this, so she did not agree with Xiao Haoyu's participation in this expedition, and repeatedly persuaded Xiao Haoyu to give up this decision. Even as a concubine's mother Ling'er and Butterfly, she followed Fan Yutong and persuaded Xiao Haoyu to give up this idea.

However, Xiao Haoyu has a Xiao Tianjian-like nature. Once he decided on one thing, he couldn't pull back nine cows. He sternly refused his mother's request and asked his mother why others could take risks to expand their territory for the Chinese people. However, as a prince, he had to hide at home and enjoy peace. In this way, It really made Fan Yutong speechless. He could only persuade him to be different from his identity.

After Xiao Tianjian learned about this, although he was also worried about Xiao Haoyu, in his opinion, Xiao Haoyu was still a child. It was a little early to take such an adventure now. At least he had to wait until he became an adult, so he interviewed Xiao Haoyu.

After the father and son talked secretly for a long time, Xiao Tianjian took Xiao Haoyu's hand and walked out of the study. He patted Xiao Haoyu on the shoulder with joy, reached out and rubbed Xiao Haoyu's head with his big hand and smiled, "It seems that my father has underestimated you!" You have indeed grown up! In this case, then I will support you as a father! If you want to do something, just let it go! But there is only one requirement for the father, that is, since you have chosen a direction, don't back down! Hao Erlang is determined to be in all directions. The world is very big. Go out and have a good look!"

Fan Yutong originally hoped that Xiao Tianjian could persuade Xiao Haoyu, but he didn't expect that in the end, Xiao Tianjian stood on his son's side and supported his son to take risks. In the end, there was no better way. He could only agree to Xiao Haoyu's request, but for this matter, he did not let Xiao Tianjian go to her bed for a long time. This is revenge for Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian did Fan Yutong's ideological work for this, and then settled the harem.

After Xiao Haoyu was allowed to participate in this expedition, he immediately transferred to the naval training ship with dozens of martial arts students and began a months of sea training. In the end, most of the dozens of cadets passed the assessment and were allowed to participate in the operation, while Xiao Haoyu actually won the first place in the assessment. For his excellent achievements, he was awarded the position of trainee captain and served in the expeditionary fleet.

However, Xiao Haoyu's identity has never been made public. Even his classmates thought that he was just an ordinary person like them. Before going to sea, only a few people knew Xiao Haoyu's identity. Shi Lang, as a fleet commander, also knew this. One thing.

For Xiao Tianjian's ability to put the eldest prince into the expedition fleet and participate in such an adventure, Shi Lang was extremely admirable and felt great pressure on the one hand. For this reason, he also submitted a letter to Xiao Tianjian, believing that the eldest prince should not be allowed to participate in such a dangerous adventure and asked His Majesty to cancel such a decision. It's settled.

Xiao Tianjian also summoned Shi Lang in person for this purpose and told Shi Lang that this was the eldest prince's own decision. Even as his father, he could not interfere with the eldest prince's decision, and asked Shi Lang to be strict with the eldest prince like ordinary students and soldiers. Only when appropriate can the eldest prince's body be announced. Serving.

Shi Lang had no choice but to accept this reality and transferred Xiao Haoyu to his flagship Dragon Power to use as his trainee voyage chief with the power in his hand.

Standing next to the gangway of Long Quan, Xiao Tianjian stared at Xiao Haoyu standing behind Shi Lang again and did not say anything, but the complex look of concern, love and encouragement in his eyes still conveyed his strong fatherly love to Xiao Haoyu.

Then Xiao Tianjian raised his right hand again and gave a standard military salute to Shi Lang, Xiao Haoyu behind him and those naval officers and soldiers who sailed. After the ceremony, he finally said loudly, "Take care, please board the ship!" I'm waiting for the news of your triumph..."

Ships with the dragon flag of the Great Middle Court raised their sails one after another. The sailors put away the gangway one after another. Countless sailors stirred hard to stir the winch and lifted the heavy iron anchor from the water. The people on the shore untied the cables. The sailors on the ship began to row the oars in their hands. The sea boat was towed off the trestle, and then guided them to drive slowly out of Ningbo Port.

Xiao Tianjian looked at the fleet for the last time and raised his hand to salute again.

After nearly a year, the expeditionary fleet finally returned to their place of departure. The returning fleet ships did not set off much time. Several ships were on their way to and from Australia. Because of several violent storms, they sank at sea, and nearly 2,000 people stayed on the sea forever.

However, they still completed the mission of this long voyage and successfully landed on the north coast of Australia. After some coastal investigation, they chose a place on the north coast that could be used as a good port and built a castle. According to Xiao Tianjian's will at the beginning, the castle was named Zhenyuan City as Dazhong. Head to the first landing point and exit the base in Australia.

Most of the people who traveled with the ship stayed in the town as planned, and the fleet also left a cruiser and several destroyers and frigates as the local maritime force of the Greater China and North Korea to protect the interests of the Greater China and North in Australia.

Xiao Haoyu returned to mainland China with the ship smoothly. At this time, when the people of the expedition fleet actually arrived in Australia, Shi Lang had disclosed Xiao Haoyu's identity.

When I learned that the distinguished eldest prince was actually in their fleet and accompanied the expedition to Australia, the morale of the members of the fleet suddenly soared, and many people were so excited that they almost cried bitterly. Long live in the distant direction of China.

It was because Shi Lang announced Xiao Haoyu's identity on the way that the members of the fleet strengthened their confidence and worked together to complete the voyage. After arriving in Australia, many people saw that the barren land here had already retreated, but after learning that the eldest prince also came to Australia with them, They gave up the idea and stayed in Australia.

When Xiao Tianjian saw Xiao Haoyu again, he found that Xiao Haoyu's skin was much darker and thinner, but the childishness on his face had disappeared, and his body was more equipped with the temperament of a soldier, which seemed to be much more refined and capable.

Xiao Haoyu, dressed in a straight naval officer uniform, gave a standard military salute to Xiao Tianjian and shouted, "My uncle, see your majesty!"

Looking at his son he hadn't seen for nearly a year, Xiao Tianjian was also very excited. After his lips trembled a few times, he finally only said one sentence: "Are you back? Just come back! ......”

It was not until this time that Shi Lang, who followed Xiao Haoyu into the palace, saluted and reported loudly: "Thank you, Weichen is lucky not to humiliate his life. He has led the fleet to complete the expedition and established Zhenyuan City. Today, I would like to restore his life to the Holy King!"

Xiao Tianjian strode down, reached out and grabbed Shi Lang's arm. After shaking it hard a few times, he smiled and said, "I know that you will live up to my expectations. You have done a good job! There will be more things waiting for you and you people to do in the future! You will be the heroes of the Great Middle Dynasty! He is a hero of all Chinese people!

Tell me, how is Haoyu's performance this time?

After Shi Lang took a look at Xiao Haoyu, there was a smile on the corners of his mouth, and immediately straightened his chest and replied, "Qi Zhu Sheng, the trainee sailor Xiao Haoyu, has performed well in this expedition. Weichen has submitted a letter of recommendation to the Admiralty, asking the Admiralty to grant the Crown Prince the official position of captain!"

After Xiao Tianjian took a look at Xiao Haoyu with a proud face, he was very gratified and asked Shi Lang in a low voice, "Are you sure you are not selfish because of his identity?"

After listening to this, Shi Lang immediately replied loudly, "The emperor, Weichen guarantees with the head of Xiang Shang, and there is no favoritism. Otherwise, Weichen is willing to accept any punishment!" The logbook of Weichen's trip has recorded the details. The emperor can adjust the logbook to personally review it to know whether Weichen is selfish or not!"

Xiao Tianjian laughed happily. For a moment, he laughed and nodded repeatedly.

With the return of the long-range fleet, the news that Xiao Haoyu, the eldest prince, personally accompanied the expedition was immediately spread through the China Monthly and some newly published newspapers.

The Chinese people soon learned the news, and suddenly the whole country was boiling. For a while, quite a lot of young people began to enthusiastically sign up to join the navy, or apply for the naval martial arts hall, which immediately set off the participation in the navy **.

In addition, various newspapers also spread the situation of the expedition and the vastness of Australia, encouraging domestic people to emigrate to Australia. With the return of the expedition fleet, the second batch of large-scale transport fleets immediately set out from Ningbo and Guangzhou, full of immigrants who arrived in Australia in the early stage. It's going to the distant city of Australia.

At the same time, the third and fourth batch of migrant fleets also began to be formed. The mainland immigrants who were recruited also began to be organized and transported to Ningbo and Guangzhou, ready to go to Australia by boat.

All these actions have been arranged for a long time. Soon, China and North Korea set off a wave of immigration to Australia. Looking at such a scene, Xiao Tianjian was very gratified. From then on, the road of Chinese colonization has officially opened a new chapter. As long as the continuous flow of immigrants to Australia, it will not take many years. Australia The continent will become the first large-scale colony of the Greater China and North Korea overseas.

Then Xiao Tianjian immediately, together with the Admiralty and overseas trade groups, turned his attention to the farther North and South America.
