"Hey, it would be great if I could have dozens of backbones of the Beiyang Navy under my command!" Long Hao smashed his fist and said to himself.

According to Long Hao, China still has naval talents in this era, but most of them were plundered by Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang to the Beiyang Navy! It is very difficult to poach!

The sun shines in the sky, "Cherov II"... No, now the steamship renamed "Dragon Ship" is full of joy and a pleasant atmosphere. The coolies walking out of the cargo holds one after another, after seeing the sunshine, they survived the disaster

They all hugged their relatives and cried bitterly.

After counting by Long Ganruo and others, there were only more than 90 coolies left in total!

Nearly half of the staffing!

This situation shocked Long Hao, and he even sighed in his heart that the Chinese in this era...or the lives of yellow-skinned people are not worth the money, which is comparable to the tragic fate of black slaves centuries ago!

On the deck, Long Hao was urging Zheng Gongxiao to distribute food, water and cotton coats to the reborn coolie, but Long Bo walked over tremblingly and whispered: "Young Master, there is a big man who wants to see you!"

Big man? Long Hao was slightly stunned.

Long Hao walked down the dark and humid cargo hold again with Long Bo, and found more than twenty people sitting around in a corner.

These people were rough and strong, with wide waists and round waists. When Long Hao heard Long Bo walk down, he turned his head one after another, and a pair of intimidating brilliance shot out from dozens of pairs of eyes.

Long Hao was slightly stern: I have seen such sharp eyes in my previous life, but they were all on soldiers who have experienced many battles! Have these people been soldiers?

There was such a dangerous group of people hidden in the cargo hold. Why didn’t I know before? Long Hao’s back felt cold and he was shivering.

As if he noticed Long Hao's uneasiness, Long Bo said, "Don't worry, young master, they have no malicious intentions, and the actions last night were also thanks to their help, otherwise Zhou Bo would just rely on them as theirs and wanted to accept them smoothly.

It is not easy to surrender to ten Russian Russians!”

When Long Hao heard this, he glanced at the group of people and found several faces that appeared among the twenty men who surrounded the cabin last night!

Long Hao said in a deep voice: "Brother Long, what's going on? Also, who is that big shot?"

Long Bo didn't have time to speak, and a slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from the group of people: "I can't say a big shot, I'm Hong Zaimo, Brother Long, I've seen your performance yesterday, like you

At the age of age, it is really rare to have such courage! I admire you very much, so I want to see you!"

The crowd suddenly scattered, revealing a not-so-clean felt. A burly yellow-faced man lay on it. His face was not very good-looking, his chin was thin, and he seemed to be sick! However, his eyes were extremely bright, and he was interested.

Looking at Long Hao.

This yellow-faced man must be the one Hong Zaimu.

There was also a slim figure beside Hong Zaimo, holding a water-dipped white gauze in his little hand, wiping back and forth on Hong Zaimo's forehead.

Long Bo pulled Long Hao to Hong Zaimo and briefly explained the whole story.

It turned out that Long Bo and Hong Zaimo met as soon as they boarded the ship! In order to grab food and water, the two sides did not know each other without fighting. Later, they joined forces to punish the shameless Koreans and Japanese, and they appreciated each other and formed a certain degree of

friendship.

However, Long Hao was still in a high fever at that time. When he woke up, he kept leaning against the boat hole and staring blankly (actually, he was cultivating the golden source), so he didn't know.

Later, the "lobbying" action that Long Hao ordered Zhou Bo to do was actually just a simple communication and agreement with Hong Zaimo's people at Long Bo's instructions.

Hong Zaimo's origin is very not simple. He was born in San Francisco, America, and is 38 years old this year. He is the seventh son of the largest Chinese community in the United States today - the "Hongmen"!

The so-called Seven Young Masters refer to the seven sons of Hong Tianzhu, the contemporary head of the Hongmen. Five of them were from wives and concubines, while the other two were illegitimate children with inappropriate status.

Hong Zaimo is one of Hong Tianzhu’s two illegitimate sons!

Because of his background, Hong Zaimo has been studying hard since childhood, practicing martial arts diligently, and working hard. At the age of 16, he joined the San Francisco Maritime Guard to learn warship control. At the age of 20, he went to the Royal Naval Academy to study warship command and artillery shell firing.

It can be said that it is the "seniors" of famous generals of the Beiyang Navy, such as Fang Boqian, Liu Buchan, and Lin Tai.

Due to his excellent grades, Hong Zaimo even became the captain of the Royal Cruise for a month. He was the leader of Chinese at that time. He was reported by many British media such as the Times, the Guardian, and the Daily Telegraph.

However, it also caused an uproar in the UK. Later, with the intervention of some conservative politicians, Hong Zaimo resigned as the captain of the cruise ship, and his whereabouts were unknown.

No one knew that after leaving the British Islands, Hong Zaimu did not return to San Francisco, but went to study in the European powers such as Germany and France by a pseudonym. It was not until 1885 that he secretly entered China.

After Hong Zaimu arrived in China, he joined the Fujian Navy. However, due to his special identity, he could only do some grassroots work by pseudonym and could not become a steward of the ship.

Fortunately, Hong Zaimo was not here, but just focused on cultivating naval talents. Later, the Beiyang Navy was established on Liugong Island. Hong Zaimo was transferred to Beiyang with a large number of naval generals and served as the main force under a ship of a 'apprentice'.

He was the deputy position, Ming Dynasty was the first lieutenant, but actually served as a staff officer.

Hong Zaimo recently received a telegram from San Francisco saying that the old man from Hongmen was ill, so he took a group of disciples to return secretly. Unexpectedly, he was informed by a traitor on the way, saying that he had abducted the navy talent and chased him all the way.

After going through twists and turns, Cherov was tricked into this black ship!

It can be said that the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by a dog. Hong Zaimu had been playing with an iron-armored ship for more than ten years, but in the end he was deceived by foreigners!

Long Hao listened quietly and looked at Hong Zaimo silently. He saw that he had a squid on his head and a beard under his cheek. His shape was powerful. All the strong men around him had their hair shaved.

The stubble grows on the head, which is very tough.

Hong Zaimu was in poor health. He coughed heavily and said to Long Hao: "Brother Long, I heard you are looking for someone to drive this steamboat?"

This matter is no secret, Long Hao nodded and said, "Yes, Hong Dangjia wants to help me?"

Knowing Hong Zaimo's shadow of the Hong family, Long Hao felt that it was more appropriate to call him "in-chief" according to the "rules of the world".

Hong Zaimo was stunned and laughed: "Hong's boss? I don't dare to be it. Brother Long, don't be polite, just call me uncle!"

"Hmph, what's the one who is not the one who is in charge of the family? My father is the first mate of the ship, not the bullshit rudder leader of the Hongmen!" At this time, a silver bell-like voice sounded beside Hong Zaimo. Long Hao looked in the voice, and couldn't help but look in front of him.

It lights up.

The person who spoke was the one who held a white gauze and kept wiping the sweat for Hong Zaimu. Long Hao didn't pay attention at first. He looked carefully and found that it was a woman, about 14 or 5 years old, a melon seed

The round face, the eyes are black and shiny, and the red lips are like vague paint. What an attractive and delicious beauty.

Although she is still in bud and has not fully grown, judging by Long Hao's sharp eyes in his previous life, in another one or two years, this woman will grow into a stunning disaster!

Her name is Hong Zaimo's "Dad"? Long Hao praised in his heart: This yellow-faced man is so lucky to have such a beautiful and unforgettable daughter!

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?" Hong Xiangling wrinkled her cute nose and stared at Long Hao who was a little dazed.
