"Lord, my aunt...... Passed away! After Qin Zuoming finished speaking, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore.

"What? Old General Qin...... She...... Passed away? Liu Honggradually didn't react for a while.

"News came from my family that my aunt passed away suddenly on November 20." Qin Zuoming wiped his tears and said.

He happened to be in charge of the fort supervision of the Quanzhou section, and the messenger was the first to arrive here, Qin Yiming was in Fuzhou, Qin Gongming was in Zhangzhou, and now he doesn't know about the death of his aunt at home.

"General Qin has been fighting for the country for 50 years in his life, and he is really the pillar stone of the Ming Dynasty...... This king felt uncomfortable in his heart...... "Liu Hong gradually remembered that half of the men of the Qin family and the Ma family sacrificed their lives for the country, and now that the old general Qin has also gone, his heart hurts for a while.

"Lord Wang, the last general has already informed the second and fourth brothers just now, and I hope that the prince will allow me to return to my hometown to guard filial piety." Liu Hong's words reminded Qin Zuoming of his aunt's past, and lifted his robe and pleaded.

"Yes, this king is approved, no, this king will also go to Shiqi in person to offer condolences." Liu Hong gradually wiped the moistness from the corners of his eyes.

I had long wanted to find an opportunity to go to Sichuan and Shu to pay a visit to this legendary female general, but Liu Hong has been troubled by things, and now that the old general has passed away, he has to send someone else.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" As soon as he heard that Liu Hong was going to go to Sichuan and Shu in person to offer condolences, Qin Zuoming was also grateful in his heart.

After all, his aunt Qin Liangyu was a subordinate of Liu Hongjian in terms of official positions, and the titles of his aunt and the Qin family and the Ma family were all obtained under Liu Hongji's advice.

Aunt last year often said that she wanted to meet the prince very much, so as to thank him in person for his kindness, if the prince can really come, presumably my aunt and her old man will also be very pleased, Qin Zuoming said in his heart.

After Qin Zuoming left, Liu Hong gradually lost his appetite, and Niu Dabang also felt his upset, picked up the wine jug and poured Liu Hong a glass of wine, Liu Hong gradually picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong provinces could not stop supervising the construction of forts along the coast, and if the three brothers had to return to their hometowns to fulfill their filial piety, they would inevitably have to arrange reliable people to go to Zhangluo.

Chang Yu can be counted as one, Zu Qiu Qing is also so-so, the two are the chief and deputy generals of the pro-guard battalion, but the rest such as Niu Zhuang, Kuoduan, Wang Lang and others are not the same, they are all big and coarse, let him pick up the sword to look at people.

While thinking about it, a personal guard came to report that Cao Huachun, the governor of the East Factory, asked to see him.

Cao Huachun? Hasn't this guy returned to Beijing yet? Liu Honggradually doubted in his heart, but still waved his hand to ask his subordinates to come in.

"Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I miss our family to death." As soon as Cao Huachun entered the door, he bowed his hand and saluted with a smile.

"Sit down, it just so happens that the food and drinks here haven't moved yet, so let's have a light meal." Liu Hong gradually stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

"Our family came from Lianghuai, and we are really hungry, so our family is welcome!" Cao Huachun sat down with a smile on Liu Hongji's head, picked up a pair of chopsticks and started.

"Why doesn't the prince eat it?" After eating a few bites, Cao Huachun saw that Liu Hongjian and Niu Dabang did not move their chopsticks and asked.

"This king is not in the mood, but Gonggong Cao is here for something important?" Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

"Hey, it's nothing, it's just that our family has just dealt with the matter of the two Huai salt merchants, and I want to come over and report to the prince before returning to Beijing.

Lord, do you guess how much property our family copied from those salt merchants? Cao Huachun poured Liu Hong a glass of wine and poured it for himself.

"Six salt merchants seized a total of more than 9.7 million taels of silver, and hundreds of carts of mansions and jewels were loaded...... Rajah? Cao Huachun was completely immersed in the cart of white flowers and silver, and completely ignored Liu Hong's gradually sad face.

"Oh, it's quite a lot." Liu Hong gradually came back to his senses and said subconsciously.

"Poor Zhang Qihua came to our family in the end, saying that he would give half of the property to our family and beg our family to let him go, is our family that kind of person......

Hey, what's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind, tell us about it, our family is almost sixty years old, maybe you can help. ”

Cao Huachun finally noticed that something was wrong with Liu Hong, put down his chopsticks and asked with concern.

"Alas, it's nothing, the old general Qin Liangyu has passed away, this king wants to go to mourn, the Qin brothers want to go back, but there is no suitable manpower here in Haiphong for a while......" Liu Hong gradually took a sip of the wine glass.

"Old General Qin must be seventy-six years old this year, as the saying goes, seventy years is rare, General Qin Liangyu is also the end of his life, the prince should not be too sad." Cao Huachun comforted.

"Have you heard the news, after the Zheng family left Nanyang, it caused chaos in Nanyang, and now life is not easy!" Cao Huachun immediately gossiped.

Cao Huachun is too unfamiliar with Qin Liangyu, he is just a eunuch, for him, Da Ming has died a general, and there is no random death in the palace to make him care.

However, this guy is quite concerned about the affairs of the South Seas, or has a different complex for the ocean, if in the words of later generations, Lao Cao has an idol, this idol is named Zheng He.

"It's just self-inflicted." Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

Jin Yiwei had arranged a lot of people in Nanyang a year ago, and the news that Liu Hongjian obtained was much more detailed than Cao Huachun's channels.

By this time, the islands of the South Seas had been largely divided by the Europa, and the Dutch East India Company, with its Mughal headquarters, controlled most of the Mughal ports and continued to infiltrate the Mughal royal family.

In addition to this, the Netherlands also controlled the Ryukyus, Chenla, Manchurian, and Sumatra......

Little Franc controls Luzon, Ma Dayin, Alasha, Kakushima......

The Grand Furlong machine controls Grand Java, Mapi, Bayaba ......

França controlled the city of Champ, as well as small strongholds in Odilia, Italy and other countries in various places, and so on.

The Zheng family actually only controls Sulu, and there is only trade in other places, after all, the main economic source of the Zheng family is still the Ming Sea, or it controls all the transactions between the foreign vassals and the Ming Dynasty.

But now the situation is different, losing the protection of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong is like a tiger that has fallen in Pingyang, and rushes towards Sulu with a large army.

Moreover, this guy was also worried about the emergence of moths, and concentrated all his forces except Dongying in Sulu to ensure the property and personal safety of himself and his subordinates.

At this moment, other countries could not sit still, especially the nearest big and small Francs, and the Zheng family settled down, and the two countries began to transfer warships from Leviia.

As soon as Franz increased his troops, the Netherlands, Francha, Austria, and Italy would certainly not remain indifferent......

Nanyang was originally quite calm, everyone sold their own goods and earned their own money, but after Zheng Zhilong's stirring, the situation in Nanyang became extremely tense for a while.

"Just now, the prince said that the coastal defense fort is short of manpower to take care of it, I don't know if our family can do it?" Cao Huachun suddenly put away his smile and said solemnly.

PS: To correct a small mistake, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan should be called the Eastern Domain, Ryukyu, and Xiaoliuqiu.

PS: Small Franc machine, refers to xi banya, big franc machine, refers to pu grape tooth, franca, refers to france.

PS: Chenla, Manchurian, Champang, present-day Malay Peninsula.

PS: Luzon, Ma Dayin, Horn Island, part of the northern islands of present-day Philippines.

PS: Greater Java, Sumatra, present-day western islands of Indonesia.

PS: Push a book "Hengming" to read heng, four sounds, this is a big flickering story.

Liang Xiaoshuai, a chemical worker, returned to the Ming Dynasty with an experimental explosion and became the grandson of Shoufu.

Under his flickering, the surrounding areas were flickered and lame, and the Ming Dynasty realized the prosperity of Tai (Chang) Tian (Qi), sweeping away the disadvantages accumulated for a hundred years......
