Chapter 46 (2/2)
The warship has four decks and more than 140 guns, including long-range cannons and short heavy guns for close combat.
The drainage capacity is 5000 tons, the length is at least 70 meters, the width is 18 meters, and the carrying capacity is more than 1000 people. It is the most powerful marine battleship of this era and the patron saint of the South China Sea of the Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, only Zhu Yongchen, commander of the South China Sea fleet, can command the South China Sea Fleet on this behemoth.
Wei Ran didn't expect that this man would take him to see General Yu. It seems that general Yu has great prestige in the army although he has been dismissed.
At the general military residence in the military port, Wei Ran looked at Zhu Yongchen brewing Kung Fu tea. He seemed to have a special liking for the tea ceremony.
Both sides met and were acquaintances, so Wei Ran went straight to the point.
”Lord Zhu, when can I leave for Quanzhou?”
Zhu Yongchen tossed the tea set and said with a gentle smile, ”you seem to be more worried than hong'er. Before coming here, I've met old general Yu and told him about it.”
Wei ignited his heart and said, ”what does general Yu mean?”
”He didn't want to teach you. He said it very simply. So I said, ”you'd better give up.”
Wei Ran looked gloomy. ”Lord Zhu, why don't you take me to see old general Yu? Maybe I can convince him.”
”Zheng Hong once had a good relationship with him and asked him with a lot of money. He didn't promise. How do you think you can convince him?”
Wei Ran was silent for a long time and said, ”what general Yu wants may not be money.”
”Oh? What do you think it would be? ”
”Only after seeing him can I know.”
Zhu Yongchen helped Wei Huo pour a cup of tea. A commander-in-chief of the Navy poured tea for a boxer. He was afraid he could startle everyone's chin.
Zheng Songtao was like this. He looked at Zhu Yongchen's actions in amazement. There was a smell that he couldn't say if he wanted to speak.
Zhu Yongchen poured himself another cup of tea. ”I heard Wu leichan came to see you yesterday.”
Wei Ran has long known that these people have good hands and eyes. They can't find out much about what happened in the sun.
”Yes, I've seen his ability. To tell you the truth, I'm not an opponent at all. He can easily solve me with one hand. ”
”Do you still have the courage to take part in this boxing match?”
”Hum, a warrior pursues the power beyond his own limit. The performance of Wu leichan made me see the possibility of surpassing the limits of the human body, which is what I pursue all my life. For this reason, I am very excited. Even if I risk my life, I have to master the mystery. Therefore, I must participate in the boxing competition. I must convince old general Yu! ”
Zhu Yongchen didn't move the teacup in front of him. He tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Wei Ran and looked at him again.
”I thought you were frightened by Lei Chan's strength, so I came to see your determination. It's good. It didn't disappoint me. However, the fact that Zheng Hong paid for General Yu was not fiction. He did fail. Whether you can impress General Yu depends on yourself. All I can do is try to ensure your safety on the mainland. ”
Wei Huo nodded hard, said nothing, drank the hot tea on the table, and got up and left.
Seeing that Wei Ran was so rude, Zheng Songtao had no time to stop him, so he had to apologize to Zhu Yongchen in a hurry.
Zhu Yongchen waved his hand, ”this man is a pure martial artist. If he can learn something from the Yu family, maybe honger has the hope of turning over.”
Then he waved Zheng Songtao away. He sat in front of the tea table, hehe smiled and said to himself, ”if Wei Ran failed to convince Yu Yanzhong, what should you do, honger?”
