Zhu Cihong had already somewhat accepted the fact that Liu Hongjian wanted a fief, but he did not intend to let Liu Honggradually follow the ancestral system, but even if Liu Hongjian had a fief, he planned to use the emperor's identity to ask him to stay in the capital.

Anyway, it's not once or twice that the ancestral system has been violated, and it's a big deal to be reprimanded by the ministers, and the two of them have been criticized by hundreds of officials over the years, and they are no longer strange.

never thought that Liu Hongjian would choose the fief in Dongying.

"What? Dongying? "Zhu Cihong ate a whale.

The princes of all dynasties did not want the fief to be too far away from the capital, and only the prince who was treated by the emperor would be sent to a remote place.

And Dongying is not biased and not to mention, it must be quite far away, and it is separated by Dongying Sea and Liaodong Bay.

The problem is not here, the problem is that Dongying is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty at all, and there is still a big scuffle.

"That's right, it's Dongying, so I can't do it, and I like it there!" After Liu Hong finished speaking, he waved his hand and planned to go home.

Only Zhu Cihong stood there stunned, he thought for a while before he figured out, it is estimated that this is also an excuse that Liu Qing made for himself, after all, how can a fief that does not belong to the Ming Dynasty go to the domain?

In fact, Liu Hong gradually didn't expect this, Dongying would be in Daming's pocket sooner or later, otherwise he would not have laid out manpower over there.

There are several reasons for choosing Toei as a domain, one of which is that Toei is located in the first island chain and can block enemies on the sea.

The second is that he believes that the Yamato nation of Dongying has always been a white-eyed wolf and needs him to transform.

The third is that Dongying is located in the sea and does not border any continent, which is an excellent territory, and it is also the base he has set for future consideration.

Fourth, if his territory is in Dongying and Zheng Damu on the island of Taiwan is a horn, the foreign enemies of Europa will not want to covet the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, he had thought about setting up his territory in Taiwan, but Zheng Damu had already started training Nanyang sailors there, so how could he be embarrassed to grab his brother's territory.

And with his understanding of Zheng Damu, Zheng Damu's patriotic feelings are definitely no worse than his own, and if there is a war in the future, he will definitely dare to go to the soup for the imperial court.

Although Dongying is not yet under the control of Daming, Liu Honggradually knows that this is only a matter of time, and it is simply beyond the power of the Netherlands to do things in Dongying.

I don't want to think about how far Daming is from Dongying, and how far the Netherlands mainland is from Dongying.

At present, the blockade off the coast of the Ming Dynasty has been lifted, and the Netherlands is mired in the quagmire of Dongying.

I heard Xiao Zhu say that at present, the fourth steel ironclad battleship equipped with howitzers at Tianjin Bao Shipyard has been launched, and these four new warships will be the support of the Beiyang Naval Division.

Liu Hongjian thought that the current Daming sailor already had the capital to quarrel with the Dutch, and decided to go to the treasure shipyard in a few days to see the situation, and on the way home, Liu Honggradually couldn't help but think.

It didn't take long for Liu Hongjian to come to the foot of Xishan Mountain with a group of personal guards, and Xishan was more prosperous than a year ago.

A large area of cultivated land around Xishan has been built into various workshops, of course, nearly half of it is the industry of Xishan merchants, and the defense around Xishan is still very tight.

Not only did his family live on the mountain, but there were also a kind of senior engineers in the ordnance department, and even the imperial court had begun to pay attention to the craftsmen, they had never thought that the craftsmen's abilities were so great that they could change the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the original guards, after obtaining the emperor's approval, the Cabinet Joint Military Department transferred a full 4,000 troops from the Praetorian Guard to carry out a full-encirclement warning on Xishan.

Today, the Praetorian Guard is responsible for the rotation of the mountain gate is a thousand households surnamed Ma, this person is still Liu Hong's promotion back then, and he immediately knelt down and saluted when he saw Liu Hongjian coming.

Then Liu Hong hurriedly climbed the mountain towards the door, yesterday's battle in Andingmen was so big, my father would naturally pass the news of his return to his wife and children at home, but he did not return overnight.

I don't know if Xiuxiu and they sleep peacefully at night, alas! Liu Hong gradually sighed and pushed open the door.

"I'm back."

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Ling Feng fighting with his two younger sisters, and the three wives were enjoying the shade under the grape trellis.

"Congratulations to the old man for being the king of Qin! The name sounds atmospheric. The maid Xiaobai stood aside and said happily.

"As far as your mouth is sweet, the boss is not small, is there not a single good man in the old man's guard camp that you can look at?" Yang Xue teased Xiaobai while hugging Ling Yun, who was only two years old.

"Second lady, Xiaobai just wants to serve you here, and no one wants to marry." Xiaobai pulled a long voice, as if coquettish, and seemed to explain.

"Daddy! You're back! Before Liu Hongjian could answer, the eldest Aotian had already run over with his two younger sisters.

At this time, Liu Aotian didn't know that he had changed from the prince of the county to the prince of the prince, and he didn't care, he only knew that he hadn't seen his father for a year, and he missed it a little.

"Hey! Is my son well-behaved at home, did you make your mother angry? Liu Hong gradually hugged Aotian and lifted him high.

"No, I'm good." Aotian shouted excitedly.

"Where? My brother lied, and my brother dug out the bird's nest yesterday! Ling Yu grabbed the corner of Liu Hongji's clothes and made a small report.

"Xiaoyu, my brother loves you the most on weekdays, why did you hit my brother's little report?" Aotian was said to be a weakness, and his questioning tone was also a little weak.

"It's too dangerous to dig out the bird's nest, Xiaoyu is afraid that you will fall, it hurts!" Light rain weak road.

"It's okay to beg for a bird's nest, but you can't cry out for pain if you break your arm or leg!" Liu Hong gradually put his son on the ground, and hugged the two little padded jackets in his arms.

"Er knows, Er will never cry out in pain, otherwise Aotian will be a puppy!" Who knew that Liu Aotian was not only not afraid, but also made an oath, and the three daughters of Sun Xiuxiu, who were watching from the sidelines, were all amused by this son.

That is, Liu Hongjian is a unique father, but as long as other people's parents, where will they support their five-year-old child to climb trees?

"Xiuxiu, how is the implementation of the private school?" Liu Hong gradually teased his daughter's small nose and said.

"Husband, it's been packed up a long time ago, but you have been on the expedition and have not returned, and Mr. Teachings has not decided, so the class has not started." Sun Xiuxiu explained.

"Oh, I'll go and implement it for my husband in the next few days, Aotian, if the eldest prince and they also go to class with your brothers and sisters in the future, you know what to do, right?" Liu Hong gradually asked Liu Aotian again.

"I know, the eldest prince is the king, and the son is the minister, and the son kowtows to him." Liu Aotian seems to understand the way of non-understanding.
