Xia Nan rejected Lin Weiye's proposal: "When I develop Taiwan, I do not want to build it into a copy of Qiongzhou, but simply use it as a sub-base for tuntian and military training, providing food and military resources. Not to mention the relative scarcity of raw materials such as cotton in Taiwan, our main economic source now is the income from sea trade and customs customs, so how can we put the cart before the horse and focus on manufacturing? ”

In fact, he still has something to say. As a sub-base isolated overseas, it must rely on the development of the governor's autonomy model, and its control is relatively weak, so how can it be possible to build steel mills and arsenals to eliminate the danger of its independence to a certain extent through the control of weapons and ammunition?

Seeing that he was resolutely opposed, Lin Weiye had to give up the idea.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the fleet of migrants.

Five days later, a huge fleet arrived in Dengzhou. Sima De took Panda ashore and said to Xia Nan, who came to greet him: "General, all 100,000 people have boarded the sea and loaded the ship, fortunately, they are not disgraced!" ”

"Good work." Xia Nan expressed concern and condolences, and then said to Panda, "Come on, come on, I'll take you to meet your future boss." ”

Xia Nan brought it to Zhu Dadian and introduced them to each other: "This is the former Tianjin Bingbei Dao Panda, this is the former Fengyang Governor and Caoyun Governor Zhu Dadian, and Taiwan will be handed over to the two in the future." ”

Pan Da was shocked in his heart, he even invited a character like Zhu Dadian, this Pingnanhou is really capable. He saluted respectfully, "Panda has seen Mr. Yanzhi. No, he was also born as a speech official, and he once served in the military department, and he has admired Mr. for a long time. ”

Zhu Dadian stroked his beard and smiled: "It's really a coincidence, the old man entered Beijing from Zhangqiu Zhixian back then, and he was also in charge of the military department. What year are you a jinshi? ”

"It's not the Jinshi of the fifth year of the Apocalypse."

"That's a junior. The old man is a Jinshi in the forty-fourth year of Wanli. ”

Describing each other's identities, the two found a common language at once, and chatted very warmly.

Xia Nan watched coldly and nodded secretly, this effect was exactly what he wanted. The two people have similar experiences, they are also from the official background of science and technology, but their status is quite different, so they can have both a common language and a gap in seniority and status, and they can work together, but they will not hold together. And although Pan Da has strengths, but the burning of the granary can be seen that he does things recklessly, and there is basically no discipline, and old rivers and lakes like Zhu Dadian can just control the overall situation and ensure that there will be no chaos.

The fleet docked to replenish supplies, but migrants were forbidden to disembark. Lu Gengyu led people to transport the farm tools, grain, and cattle purchased by surprise in the past few days onto the ship, and prepared to transport them to Taiwan together.

Xie Sanbin also came. When he saw the fleet, which stretched for miles and could not be seen at a glance, he was shocked by the magnanimity of his son-in-law. So many people, select young and strong from them, train them to become elite soldiers, supplemented by the world-famous firearms of the Qiong Navy, who in the world can stop them? Now that he understands that Zhu Dadian's words are not groundless, how can such an act be done by a general soldier in a corner of peace?

The docks were full of people, mixed with the sounds of cows. Countless people carried grain and farm tools, drove the ploughing cattle to the boat, and there were also groups of soldiers who disembarked from the boat with loaded guns and ammunition and walked ashore - only Wei Lianheng's second regiment went to Taiwan, and the rest of the soldiers had to change to the boat to Qiongzhou.

Xiang Yu reluctantly said goodbye to Zhu Jinhu. The two didn't know each other, and they became friends during their time on the ship. However, there was no feast in the world, Xiang Yu was assigned to Taiwan, and Zhu Jinhu's first regiment was to return to Lingao.

Xiang Yu asked, "Brother Zhu, I don't know how long it will take to see you in the future?" ”

Zhu Jinhu said with a smile: "Don't worry, it won't be too long." I heard from our company commander that you in Taiwan will also train Tunding into a new army, and with your physique, recruiters will rush to ask for it. As long as you work hard enough, it won't be long before you come to the military academy as a reserve officer for training, and then we can meet. ”

Xiang Yu didn't quite understand Zhu Jinhu's words, but the officers and military academies sounded like. He nodded excitedly: "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Zhu, and I will definitely come to Qiongzhou Mansion to see you when the time comes!" ”

After tossing for a day and a night, the production tools and other materials were finally loaded onto the ship, and the troops were also replaced. The next day, Xia Nan and the others, Xie Sanbin and the others resigned, preparing to board the "Guangdong" Yongle-class battleship and return to Lingao. The fleet was divided into two, one to Taiwan and one to Lingao.

Before boarding the ship, Xia Nan said to Zhu Dadian: "There are still many things in Qiongzhou waiting for me to go back to deal with, and I don't have time to go to Taiwan for the time being, so I will leave it to Mr. Yanzhi over there!" ”

Zhu Dadian said: "Please rest assured that Pingnanhou will not disgrace his mission." ”

Xie Sanbin explained to Xia Nan: "Don't go out in person at every turn, you are now the master of one side, not the little general of the year." This time, I will go back to Qiongzhou for a longer period of time, accompany Wenjun well, and give birth to a boy and a girl as soon as possible. ”

Xia Nan was a little embarrassed, before it was urging marriage, but now it is urging birth, the former can be controlled by himself, but the latter is not controlled by himself! He could only promise: "The son-in-law will work hard." ”

Until he boarded the boat, Lin Weiye was still laughing at Xia Nan: "Did you hear your instructions from Old Taishan?" Hurry back to close the mountain and cultivate forests, and give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible! ”

Xia Nan looked at him disdainfully: "You are embarrassed to say me, you and Nan Ying have been for so many years, why hasn't your stomach moved?" Maybe your father-in-law just dares to be angry but doesn't dare to speak. ”

Lin Weiye's laughter came to an abrupt end. He thought about it carefully, frowned, looked around at no one, and whispered to Xia Nan, "Our body should be fine, right?" It's fragrant to eat, and the body is great, but why haven't I given birth to a son and a half daughter for so many years, can't it be that the body functions were destroyed during the crossing? ”

Xia Nan was also puzzled by what he said, and frowned: "Probably not, right?" Which other part is fine, but is there something wrong with the kidneys? ”

The "Guangdong" carried two people full of questions, and half a month later, the fleet arrived at the port of Bofu.

Because the "Yangming" clipper ship had returned to Lingao to report the news, Sun Yuanhua led the people who stuck to the base camp to welcome the army at the dock early to return triumphantly.

Xia Nan stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the welcoming crowd on the dock with a telescope, and a group of warblers and Yanyan's women's army suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and when he looked at it, it was Xie Wenjun who came to greet him with his wives and concubines. His heart warmed and he couldn't help but smile. At this moment, he saw that Maria's stomach seemed to bulge slightly, her hands trembled, and the telescope almost fell to the ground.

"Lao Lin, help me take a look, does Maria's belly look like she is pregnant?"
