The time of happiness is short-lived, Duan Fei must be under the cover of Lingyu to have a private meeting with Su Rong, the number of times is a little more intensive, Cen Xuan is suspicious, and thinks that Lingyu has hidden Duan Fei to do something, so the relationship with Lingyu stiffened again, in order to avoid Cen Xuan, Duan Fei simply excused Guangxi's policy of changing the land and returning to the river has been successfully promoted, and Lord Qincha is going to Guangdong to patrol.

Duan Fei left Yang Shen to continue to promote ethnic policies in Guangxi, and he took the Qincha honor guard down the Guijiang River, Cen Xuan followed him all the way to Wuzhou, and was finally stopped by the people sent by Cen Zhang to protect her, and did not continue to follow Duan Fei to Guangzhou.

Duan Fei didn't go to Guangzhou to avoid Cen Xuan, in fact, he had been in Guangxi, a place that was almost isolated from the outside world, for too long, he wanted to take a breath from the sea, go to a place close to the sea, and find out how his navy was developing, what was the situation on Paradise Island, whether there was any change in the Francophone man full of thorns, etc.

Compared with the closed Guangxi, Guangdong's economic and social development is significantly better than Guangxi, especially the capital of Guangzhou, has always been one of the Ming Dynasty's opening to the outside world, now Ningbo, Quanzhou's reform and opening up is in full swing, although Guangzhou does not have the support of the Qincha Lord, but their business is very active, Duan Fei almost forgot his original intention after coming to Guangzhou, and rushed to meet with businessmen to discuss how to make Guangzhou's economy to a higher level.

Compared with Guangxi, Guangdong has fewer ethnic groups, the terrain is not as complex as Guangxi, the economic situation is even more than one or two, the people have more contact with the outside world, so the mind is also more open, and the implementation of the policy of changing the land and returning to the stream is also much smoother, but presiding over the work of changing the land and returning to the stream is still a complicated and offending thing, Duan Fei still encountered strong resistance, but he is the Qincha of the five provinces, and he holds the power of life and death given by Zhengde, plus the proper governance, the people of all ethnic groups are still very supportive of the new deal under the powerful propaganda offensive. Even if the interests of the toasts who have suffered damage rise up, it is useless, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to follow them in rebellion.

The land reform went smoothly, Duan Fei's mood gradually relaxed, he stayed in Guangzhou for a few months, the summer of the seventeenth year of Zhengde was very hot, Duan Fei was busy sneaking away to see his wife and children, now Duan Yu is three years old, it is the most lovely time, full of vitality running around the yard, crawling everywhere, Duan Fei peeled lychees for him distressedly, peeled one and called him to the front to feed him to his mouth.

"Husband, you're going to spoil Yu'er like this." Su Rong's face was full of happiness, but her mouth was blaming.

Duan Fei smiled: "Yu'er is so well-behaved, and she has such a good mother, how can she be spoiled?" Come...... Yu'er, come and eat lychees. ”

Duan Yu was trying to climb the tree, but unfortunately his legs were too short to clamp the trunk of the tree, and he kept sliding down, he was still not discouraged and climbed hard, hearing Duan Fei's words, he turned his little face back and said, "Dad, I'm full, you can peel it for your mother." ”

Duan Feihu said with a face: "It's all for you to eat, so don't you have to eat it?" ”

Duan Yu said seriously: "Then give my mother five pieces, and my father will eat another one." ”

Duan Fei was surprised: "Why do you give your mother five pills to eat one?" ”

Duan Yu said: "Because my mother always plays with me, my father only comes back once every few days, so my mother can only eat one after eating five pills." ”

Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "I see...... You're right, ma'am, you've worked hard......"

Su Rong hugged Duan Yu back, patted the dirt on his body a few times, and said: "Yu'er, it's not that your father doesn't want to accompany you, your father has a lot of things to do, your mother only takes care of you at home, and your father has to take care of thousands of people outside, if you don't have your father, I'm afraid you won't even have to eat lychees." ”

Duan Yu's eyes widened and said, "Daddy, do I still have many younger brothers and sisters outside?" How many thousands? ”

Duan Fei and Su Rong were both amused by Duan Yu's fairy tales, and Duan Fei was about to explain, when there was a sudden knock on the door, Duan Fei was stunned in his heart, and shouted, "Who is it?" ”

Lingyu's voice outside the door said: "Brother-in-law, it's me, something happened at home, everyone is looking for you, go home and take a look." ”

When Duan Fei rushed back to Hangzhou Mansion, he had already understood what was going on, it turned out that something had happened in Qiongzhou Mansion, a group of Franc pirates forcibly broke into Qiongzhou (now Hainan Island) and occupied Changhua Port in the west of Qiongzhou Island, they were menacing, the ship of the Qiongzhou Mansion Inspection Department was sunk two, five were killed and seven or eight were injured, Guangzhou Mansion sent a ship envoy to negotiate with it, and was sunk by those Franc machine people, and many of the envoys and entourage were drowned in the sea, and the Guangdong side was anxious, so they rushed to Qincha Xingyuan to Duan Fei for help.

When Duan Fei came to the Guangzhou Mansion, the Guangdong political envoy Gongye Huanyi and other officials were already in a hurry, and when they saw that the Daqin of the five provinces had arrived, they breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly surrounded them to greet them.

"What's going on today? Is there any update on the news? Duan Fei asked.

Yu Qi, the general soldier of Guangdong, said: "My lord, after those Franc machine people occupied Changhua Port, there was no movement, but the ships on the sea came and went, and it seemed that many things were unloaded. ”

Duan Fei bowed his head and said: "It seems that this is indeed possible, Lord Gongzhi, General Yu, how many ships are there in Guangdong that can go to sea to fight now?" What kind of artillery is it? What is the total number of officers and soldiers of the naval division who are skilled in water warfare? ”

Yu Qi and Gongzhi Huanyi looked at each other, Yu Qi gritted his teeth, and said to Duan Fei: "My lord, since the sea ban, Guangdong has withdrawn the naval division, and the only remaining ships were built more than 100 years ago. ”

Duan Fei knew this, but he deliberately said angrily: "Guangdong is the key point for my Ming Dynasty to guard the South China Sea, how can I abandon the sailor to this point!" Since there are no troops to send in the whole of Guangdong, and there are no boats to use, why do you still call this official to come over? Waiting for the Franc machine man to come to Guangzhou, you will collectively surrender to the Franc man! ”

Lord Qincha was angry, everyone didn't dare to speak out, Gongzhi Huanyi stubbornly explained that it was an order from the imperial court, and they had no choice but to do it, Duan Fei took the opportunity to say: "Now the situation in the DPRK and China is completely different, since you agree that the navy is important, why don't you write a letter to implore the emperor to agree to rebuild the naval division in Guangdong?" ”

Gongzhi Huanyi said: "My lord, Guangzhou is a long way from the capital, even if we immediately send a letter to implore the emperor to send an edict, it will take a month to come and go at the earliest, and it will take time for the navy to be established, and when our navy is completed, I am afraid that Qiongzhou Island has been occupied by the Francophone people, Lord Duan, Yuegang is not far from Guangzhou, I heard that there is a branch of the East China Sea Fleet formed by the Lord is stationed in Yuegang, why don't you send an order to transfer the East China Sea Fleet to Changhua Port, and expel those Francome people back to Manchujia?" ”
