Six days later, Quanzhou Mansion.

Even though he had sailed several times before, Liu Hongjian still did not fully adapt to sea navigation.

At this time, the ship is not as good as the later generations, not to mention the stability and balance, the bottom is still wood, and the waves are a little bigger, Liu Hongjian is always worried that the keel can't stand it.

Although he bears the name of Admiral of the Navy, Liu Hongjian is a real landlubber, which is the only topic that the soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division can ridicule the Gradient Adult.

He hadn't slept well for days, hadn't eaten well, didn't dare to eat more, and the boat was rocking and he was worried about how much he ate and how much he vomited.

It's better during the day, after all, the sun is shining, it's not so dark, but at night it's miserable, not only do there be no electric lights on board, but even oil lamps are luxuries.

When Liu Hong slept at night, he gradually fell to the ground a few times, and later had to follow the advice of the first mate Bu Jiageng, and tied himself to the bed and fixed it in a corner of the room.

For six days, Liu Hong gradually felt that he had to lose at least two pounds, and when he stepped on the land of Quanzhou Mansion again, it was like a world away for a while.

The sky finally stopped shaking, and Liu Honggradually stood at the door of his mansion in Anqing, Quanzhou, and muttered.

When the maid learned that the head of the house was coming, she happily lifted her skirt and ran into the courtyard, wanting to tell the two hostesses the good news.

Liu Hong gradually walked into the courtyard, and over the years, the scenery in the courtyard remained the same as before.

Leaning less, Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun walked from the direction of Zhiyuan Park holding hands, their steps were still so light, just as when they met for the first time.

If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind sad painting fan, probably this is what it means.

"Master, you're back." Dong Xiaowan's eyes were like crescent moons, and the two dimples were showing the joy in her heart.

"Yes, I'm back, and I've hurt you two."

……

The Beiyang Navy Division is expected to stay in Quanzhou Mansion for two days to replenish, Liu Hong gradually knows this, but it is needless to say which family affairs and state affairs are important, not to mention that they will be able to take them home after the war.

The two days were so short, the second daughter knew that Liu Hongjian was going to leave soon, and in the two days, she tried her best to make Liu Hongjian feel comfortable, so that he felt that the two catties of meat lost at sea had returned.

"Master is out on an expedition, you must remember to take care of yourself, the concubine and Sister Wan'er are waiting for you to go home here." Li Xiangjun gradually sorted out the clothes for Liu Hong, and said gently while busy.

"Yes, sir, how old are you and you can't even cook, but you can't get into trouble with those subordinates of yours!" Dong Xiaowan said prettyly.

She has a smart temperament, and she knows that Liu Honggradually doesn't like women who are too old-fashioned, so she is very casual in her words.

"Wan'er Hugh wants to talk nonsense." Li Xiangjun wrapped his bags and put them on the table.

Dong Xiaowan stuck out her tongue at Li Xiangjun, and then took out several boxes of dim sum and handed them to Liu Hongjian with great importance.

This expedition may be a month on the sea, and it is a wonderful thing to have a box of snacks while adrift.

Dong Xiaowan is proficient in cooking, and the dim sum she makes is not only exquisite, but also tastes very much in line with Liu Hongji's taste, and also takes into account nutrition, which has always been Liu Hongji's favorite.

"There is an adult surnamed Qi outside the master, who said that he was looking for you in an emergency." Liu Hongjian was about to talk to his second daughter for a while, and a maid suddenly ran outside the courtyard.

Liu Hong gradually walked out of the courtyard, and the person who came was Qi Yuanbi, the third eldest of the Qi family, and the eldest and second were busy working, but he was the only one.

It turned out that an hour ago, a man named He Bin visited him under the leadership of the Quanzhou prefect, saying that there was an urgent military report.

As for what the emergency military situation is, how can Qi Yuanbi ask, then He Bin will not say, he has to see Liu Hongjian himself to be willing to report truthfully.

If it weren't for the fact that this person was brought by the Quanzhou prefect, Qi Yuanbi would have wanted to blast this person out on the spot, but it was a matter of military affairs, so in order to keep it secret, Qi Yuanbi had to come and run in person.

Hearing this, Liu Hongjian was not ambiguous, but fortunately, it was not bad for a while, and Liu Hongjian went directly to the yamen with his personal guards.

There are two people sitting in the room, one is Meng Liangchen, the prefect of Quanzhou, who is about forty years old, and the other is He Bin, who is the same age as Meng Liangchen, dressed in black satin, and looks like a rich and noble family.

When He Bin saw Qi Yuanbi following a young man in a fancy costume, he knew that it was the main lord who came, so he hurriedly got up to greet him, and the prefect of Quanzhou also stood up.

"Are you He Bin? What is the matter with this king? Liu Hong gradually saw that he was just an old guy who looked like a profiteer, and he suddenly had no good feelings.

I can't say that I want to talk to him about business, after all, now the business of Xishan Shanghe has been spread throughout Daming, but all the business under Xishan Shanghe's plate rarely loses money.

So much so that businessmen who learned of his whereabouts always found various reasons to get married, and Liu Hong was annoyed by this.

"Lord Wang, the grass people came here to give a great merit to the prince!" He Bin is mysterious and swearing.

"Oh? Big credit? How much credit? Is there less credit for this king? Liu Hong gradually finished listening to a piece of music.

The more he looked at this He Bin, the less he looked like a good person, and the two handfuls of eight-character mustaches were very similar to the pair of masters in Tang Bohu's autumn fragrance.

I believe you're a ghost, the bad old man is very bad, he must be trying to cheat money.

"Lord Wang, please look at this." He Bin took out a neatly folded cloth from his waist and solemnly handed it to Liu Hong.

He knew very well that if he wanted to win the trust of this great nobleman, it was impossible to just speak well and obediently, and he had to show his sincerity and the weight of this sincerity.

Liu Hong gradually took the cloth and slowly unfolded it on the table, and found that the cloth was actually a map.

The map seems to have been drawn by hand, but the person who made the map is obviously of some level, and it is clear where are the mountains, where are the rivers, and where are the villages.

Liu Hong gradually frowned, and the more he looked at this picture, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"This is the full map of Ryukyu Island?" Liu Hong was gradually shocked.

If he is not mistaken, the map in his hand is a topographical map of Taiwan, and the description is detailed, the locations of the batteries along the coast are clearly marked, and even the locations of the two European-style castles on the island are specially marked.

In the lower right corner of the map, there is even an explanation of the arming of the two European rhombic forts.

This is simply too shocking for Liu Hong.

One of the main reasons why the Ryukyus were not considered when they went south this time was because the Ryukyus were too difficult to fight, and the Dutch, who had been entrenched for many years, arranged the island of Taiwan without leaking.

In order to form a strategic defensive circle, a diamond-shaped castle was built in the Tainan area, which echoed the diamond-shaped castle of Geransha on the sandbar to the southwest, forming a defensive line of the Ryukyus.

Without detailed intelligence, almost no country's fleet in the entire South Sea could break through this line of defense.
