This person is not an outsider, it is Xiao Tianjian's eldest son Xiao Haoyu, who is just sixteen years old, and may not be an adult in the next life, and should still enjoy a good life under the care of his family.

But as the eldest prince, he did not enjoy the life of clothes and food to open his mouth like the princes of previous dynasties.

After so many years, the three imperial concubines gave birth to eight children for Xiao Tianjian, one of whom died early because of illness, and now there are still three boys and three girls who are gradually growing up, and Xiao Tianjian, the father, did not give them too much pampering for his children, but this does not mean that he does not care about these children.

In fact, Xiao Tianjian loves these children very much, from when they were very young, he, the father, would often take time out of his busy schedule to take these children to play in the palace, hold them on his lap, and tell them stories.

But when they were five or six years old, Xiao Tianjian did not follow the old-fashioned way of educating the prince, but changed their names to pseudonyms, and then arranged them in primary schools in the capital, where they received the most ordinary education like ordinary students, at most, they hired some tutors to tutor them for more courses.

Xiao Tianjian strictly ordered that no one should reveal their true identities, including themselves, and they were also not allowed to reveal their identities to anyone, including the school's teachings, except for very few people who knew their true identities, and the rest of them were treated at most as if they were some officer or the children of ordinary officials.

In addition to studying in school as ordinary people, Xiao Tianjian also asked them to go around the people in China as ordinary people during the holidays, let them go into the people, observe the sufferings of the world, and even in the palace, specially opened up a small piece of land for them, let them learn to farm, and all by themselves to complete the cultivation, fertilization, hoeing, harvesting, except for the necessary guidance, no one is allowed to help.

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

The three princes also attended ordinary schools, the eldest prince has graduated from secondary school, the second prince is still in secondary school, and the youngest son is now just entering primary school.

As the eldest son of the emperor, Xiao Haoyu, after graduating from high school with excellent grades two years ago, did not choose to enter the university to continue his studies, but resolutely chose to enter the Royal Navy Lecture Hall and became a naval cadet.

It is also Xiao Haoyu's decision that has become the beginning of all male members of the royal family to enter the military in the future, and has gradually become a habit, as long as the male members of the royal family reach the age, as long as there is no special physical reason, all must enter the army, whether it is the army or the navy, in short, at least three years of military service, and then as for whether they want to continue to stay in the military to do things, or continue to return to the university for further study and do other things, it depends on their own choice.

And when the Great China and North Korea decided to send an expeditionary fleet to Australia, Xiao Haoyu learned the news and immediately united some classmates to apply for recruitment and asked to participate in the expedition.

Fan Yutong, who is Xiao Haoyu's mother, learned the news and was very reluctant to let Xiao Haoyu participate in this operation, and asked Xiao Tianjian many times to ask Xiao Tianjian to stop Xiao Haoyu's decision.

In this era, in fact, sailing is a very risky thing, although the ships are getting bigger and bigger, but a boat is stuffed with hundreds of people, the living conditions and sanitary conditions can be imagined to be very bad, every time you go to sea, even if you don't encounter pirates or fight, a few months of drifting down at sea, there will be some people on each boat who die of illness and can never return to the place where they started.

At the beginning, Fan Yutong was very resistant to Xiao Haoyu's participation in the naval martial arts hall, but because of Xiao Haoyu's insistence and Xiao Tianjian's support, Xiao Haoyu finally entered the naval martial arts hall, and now he wants to follow the expeditionary fleet to distant Australia, not to mention how many winds and waves he has to endure along the way, even after arriving there, in a barren land, the mortality rate is very high.

Fan Yutong also knew this very well, so she did not agree with Xiao Haoyu's participation in this expedition, and persuaded Xiao Haoyu to give up this decision many times, even as the concubine Ling'er and Die'er, they also followed Fan Yutong and persuaded Xiao Haoyu to give up this idea.

But Xiao Haoyu has Xiao Tianjian's general nature, once he decides on one thing, he can't pull back the nine cows, categorically refuses his mother's request, and asks his mother why others can take risks to open up territory for the Chinese, but as a prince, he wants to hide at home and enjoy comfort, in this way, it really makes Fan Yutong speechless, and can only persuade him with his different identity.

After Xiao Tianjian learned about this, although he was also worried about Xiao Haoyu, in his opinion, Xiao Haoyu was still a child, and it was a bit too early to take such an adventure now, at least when 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, patted Xiao Haoyu's shoulder with relief, and reached out to rub Xiao Haoyu's head with his big hand, and said with a smile: "It seems that my father has underestimated you!" You have indeed grown up! In that case, then it would be good for you to be a Father! Whatever you want, just do it! But there is only one requirement for the Father, and that is that since you have chosen a direction, then do not back down! Good Erlang should be ambitious in all directions, the world is very big, you go out and take a good look! ”

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

Xiao Tianjian had to do Fan Yutong's ideological work for this reason, and only then did he settle down the harem.

After Xiao Haoyu was allowed to participate in this expedition, he was immediately transferred to the naval training ship with dozens of classmates from the martial arts hall and began a few months of training at sea.

But Xiao Haoyu's identity has not been disclosed, 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, and Shi Lang, as the commander of the fleet, also learned about it.

For Xiao Tianjian to be able to put the eldest prince into the expeditionary fleet and participate in such an adventurous action, Shi Lang felt extreme admiration on the one hand, and felt extremely pressured on the other, so he also submitted a letter to Xiao Tianjian, believing that the eldest prince should not be allowed to participate in such a dangerous risky action, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to cancel such a decision.

Xiao Tianjian also personally summoned Shi Lang for this reason, telling 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 an ordinary cadet, and only at the right time could the identity of the eldest prince be announced.

Shi Lang reluctantly accepted this reality, and with the power in his hands, he transferred Xiao Haoyu to his flagship Dragon Power as his trainee navigator.

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

Then Xiao Tianjian raised his right hand again, and saluted Shi Lang, Xiao Haoyu behind him, and the sailing naval officers and soldiers with a standard military salute, and after the salute, he finally said loudly: "Take care, please board the ship!" I await news of your triumph......"

The ships holding high the dragon flag of Dazhong and the DPRK raised their sails one after another, the sailors put away the gangways one after another, countless sailors struggled to stir the winch and lifted the heavy iron anchor from the water, and the personnel on the shore untied the cables, and the sailors on the boat began to row the oars in their hands one by one, dragging the big ships away from the trestle, and then guiding them to slowly sail towards the outside of Ningbo Port.

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

After nearly a year, the expeditionary fleet finally returned to their place of departure again, and the ships of the returning fleet did not depart as long, and several ships sank at sea on the way to and from Australia because of several violent storms, and nearly 2,000 people remained on the sea forever.

But they still completed the task of the voyage, successfully landed on the north coast of Australia, and after a coastal investigation, they chose a place on the north shore that could be used as a good harbor, and established a castle, which was named Zhenyuan City in accordance with Xiao Tianjian's will, as the first foothold and forward base of the Great Middle Dynasty in Australia.

Most of the people who traveled with the ship stayed in Zhenyuan City according to the plan, and the fleet also left a cruiser and several destroyers and frigates as the local maritime force of the Great and Chinese Dynasties to protect the interests of the Great and Chinese Empire in Australia.

Xiao Haoyu successfully returned to Chinese mainland with the ship, and at this time, when the people of the expeditionary fleet actually arrived in Australia, Shi Lang had already disclosed Xiao Haoyu's identity.

When they learned that His Royal Highness the Honorable Grand Prince was actually in their fleet and accompanied the expedition to Australia, the morale of the fleet members suddenly soared, and many people were so excited that they almost cried bitterly, shouting long live in the direction of distant China.

It was precisely because Shi Lang announced Xiao Haoyu's identity on the way that the fleet members were more confident and worked together to complete the voyage.

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 he had more of the temperament of a soldier, and he looked much more capable and capable.

Xiao Haoyu was dressed in a straight naval officer uniform, saluted Xiao Tianjian with a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Son, see His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Looking at his son who had not seen him for nearly a year, Xiao Tianjian was also very excited, and after his lips trembled a few times, he finally only said one sentence: "Are you back?" It's good to be back! ……”

It was only at this time that Shi Lang, who followed Xiao Haoyu into the palace, saluted and reported loudly: "Qi Yu Shengshang, Wei Chen is fortunate not to be dishonored, he has led the fleet to complete the expedition, and established Zhenyuan City, and today he is specially returning to the Shengshang!" ”

Xiao Tianjian strode down, stretched out his hand and grabbed Shi Lang's arm, shook it vigorously a few times, and said with a smile: "I know that you will not live up to my expectations of you, you have done a good job!" There's more to come, waiting for you and the rest of you! You will be the heroes of the Great China Dynasty! It is the hero of all Chinese!

Tell me, how is Haoyu doing this time? ”

After Shi Lang glanced at Xiao Haoyu, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately replied: "Qi Sheng, trainee navigator Xiao Haoyu, in this expedition, he performed well, and Weichen has submitted a letter of recommendation to the Admiralty, asking the Admiralty to grant His Royal Highness the Grand Prince the official position of captain!" ”

After Xiao Tianjian glanced at Xiao Haoyu, who was full of pride, he was very relieved in his heart, and whispered to Shi Lang: "Do you make sure that you are not favoritism because of his identity?" ”

After hearing this, Shi Lang immediately replied loudly: "Qi Shengshang, Wechen guarantees with the head of the Xiangshang, and there is no favoritism, otherwise, Wechen is willing to accept any punishment!" Wechen's logbook for this trip has recorded the detailed situation, and the saint can adjust the logbook to personally review it to know whether Wechen is favoritism! ”

Xiao Tianjian laughed even more happily, and for a while he couldn't see his teeth and eyes, and nodded his head again and again.

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

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

In addition, various newspapers also publicized the situation of the expedition and the vastness of Australia at length, encouraging people from China to immigrate to Australia, and with the return of the expeditionary fleet, the second batch of large-scale transport fleets also immediately set off in Ningbo and Guangzhou, full of the families of immigrants who arrived in Australia in the early stage, and headed for the distant city of Australia.

At the same time, the third and fourth groups of migrant fleets also began to be formed, and the mainland immigrants who accepted the recruitment also began to be organized and transported to Ningbo and Guangzhou, ready to go to sea by boat to Australia.

All these actions have been arranged for a long time, and soon the Great China and North Korea set off a wave of immigration to Australia, looking at such a scene, Xiao Tianjian was very pleased in his heart, the road of Chinese colonization, since then officially opened a new chapter, as long as the immigrants continue to be transported to Australia, it will not take many years, Australia will become the first large-scale colony of the Great China and North Korea overseas.

Then Xiao Tianjian immediately joined the Admiralty and overseas trade blocs to turn his attention further afield to North and South America.
