Chapter 752: Hongtu
After nearly two months of turbulence, and now Hao Fenglou stood on the deck, looking at the crowded heads of Haiphong Port in the distance, he and Hao Zheng on the dock also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Finally...... It's home.
Hao Fenglou's heart is about to jump out, he has been running here from the beginning, here was a blank piece of paper, let him splash ink with his pen, freehand graffiti on it, there may be ugliness here, but it still carries hope, it is not only the hope of others, but also Hao Fenglou's hope, because this is his home, his future, will take root here, because no matter how he is outside, everyone here, everyone, will unconditionally support himself, and he will also sweep this force, to avenge the shame, to show his ambitions.
The ship has docked, in order to meet him this ship, the pilot has led all the ships in the nearby waters away, so there is no need to wait, the big ship leaned on the side of the trestle, and then set up the sampan, Hao Fenglou helped Hao Mu and others to get off the boat, and at this time, Hao Zheng had already come along the trestle.
The family was finally reunited, but Hao Zheng's eyes did not fall on his son and Hao's mother, his eyes were attracted by Hao Qinmin and Hao Qinzheng who were held by his grandmothers.
"Father's ......"
"Hmm...... Hmmm......"
"There is Lao Father to greet him, the child is really dying, these days, let the father worry about ......"
"Oh, well, good...... This is diligent people, this is diligent government? It's a good boy, come, let grandpa hug it, eh, in such weather, I don't know how to add an extra piece of clothing, the sea is very windy and waves. Looking at their faces, I am afraid that they have suffered a lot. This...... In this way, if the child is out of the pool, he is on the boat. But how can life be good? ”
Hao Fenglou was speechless, but Hao's mother smiled tolerantly.
Hao Zheng hugged Hao Qinzheng, holding Hao Qinzheng, who was already able to walk, and had already forgotten Hao Fenglou to the side, and said in a rambling voice: "When you get to Langshan, there are a lot of fun, um." Your house is ready, hire a special craftsman, make sure you like it. By the way, there are also Trojan horses, sugar gourds, what do you like to eat. Just eat whatever you want. If anyone deceives you, sue Grandpa, and I must kill them. ”
Hao Qinzheng was tired, so he just slept in Hao Zheng's arms.
Hao Qinmin didn't recognize life, he listened to it interestingly, and couldn't help but say: "Dad often beats me." ”
Hao Fenglou was furious, blaming his son for having the nature of a treacherous villain who was a whistleblower, so he said angrily: "Boy, ......"
Hao Zheng blew his beard and glared: "You brute." What are you called, what were you like before? What about now, children should be naughty, are they not naughty? ”
Hao Fenglou said aggrievedly: "Dad...... But you beat me too. ”
Hao Zheng said: "That's because you didn't know anything before. ”
Hao Fenglou said: "He doesn't know anything either. ”
Hao Zheng sneered: "If he doesn't know something, you will beat him?" ”
Hao Fenglou was speechless, he suddenly found that there was really no need to argue when he met such an unreasonable father.
The group went to the wharf, it was already boiling, everyone saluted, gossiping, the Hao family's carriage arrived, it stopped outside the wharf, Hao Zheng thought about Hao Fenglou and others, and hurriedly arranged for them to get on the car and go home directly.

After returning to Langshan, the feeling brought to Hao Fenglou was only at ease, after he took a bath, he hastily used some pastries, and even if he fell asleep, as soon as he woke up, the steward of the house invited him to the main hall.
When he arrived at the main hall, Hao Zheng had already begun to drink tea.
Hao Fenglou picked up a place and sat down, he knew Hao Zheng's habits, over the years, his father can be said to be ten years like a day, at this time, the sun is on the three poles, it should be acting military and political affairs, or to meet some toasts and businessmen, but today, he sat here for the first time, afraid that he was waiting for himself, and wanted to talk to himself.
Hao Fenglou stretched out comfortably, since someone brought tea, he picked up the tea cup, and listened to Hao Zhengdao: "When you were in Jinling, you were quite worried about your father, and today your son ...... Zhu Gaosui, no one saw through it before, never thought that he was so cruel, our Hao family saw the wrong person, almost, missed the big thing, fortunately you are back, come back Okay, you are these days, first take a comfortable rest, our father and son, there is still a lot to talk about, but after October, you can't be lazy, in fact, this military affairs, for the father does not understand, Langshan, Shenji, Dacheng, Jiaozhou four guards are now expanding greatly, there are as many as 70,000 young and strong, these four guards, you come to operate, it is easier for the father. ”
Hao Fenglou nodded again and again, and said: "It is natural to share the worries of my father, but then again, now that I am against the imperial court, it is imminent, but I don't know if Langshan is prepared?" ”
"Ready?" Hao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "There is preparation, but well, let's understand the mountain, but we can't act rashly, this is one of them, that Zhu Gaosui has ascended the throne after all, two capitals and thirteen provinces, all in his control, he transferred hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to the southwest, the strength should not be underestimated, and the four guards in our hands, although they are also considered to be strong soldiers, but the problem is that many officers and soldiers are newly recruited, and the vast majority of them have not experienced battles. ”
"The second is the hearts of the people, the officials and people here in Langshan, although the vast majority of them are indifferent to the imperial court, but the imperial court is the imperial court, although many people rely on our Hao family, but after all, they don't want Langshan and the imperial court to turn against each other, it's okay to let them bully a small Western country, but it is a little difficult for them to have the courage to fight with the imperial court with our Hao family."
Hao Fenglou nodded again and again, the first one is easy to understand, if the four guards want to raise their combat power to the peak, it must take time. As for the second one, in fact, Hao Fenglou can also recognize the reality, people's minds are very complicated, when the knife is not put on the neck, everyone's hearts will be lucky, and now the opponent of the Hao family is no longer Siam or Sumatra, nor Luzon and Johor, but the center of the whole world, the most powerful existence in the whole world. If it was really forced into a corner, so that everyone had no way to retreat, these people might be willing to give it a go, but it would be another matter for the Hao family to take the initiative.
Hao Fenglou said: "So, now is not the time to go to war?" But the child thought about it, but also quite agreed, right now, whether it is the court or us, in fact, they are accumulating strength, are waiting for the opportunity, the court is also afraid of us, their main problem is within the Xiao wall, that Zhu Gaosui needs time to eradicate dissidents, to weaken some people inside, and win people's hearts. So, the longer the time drags on, the better it is for him. But time is also on our side at the same time, whether it is Jiaozhi or Dingnan, the development of the past few years is a thousand miles, every year, there will be new changes, the child remembers the year before last, the income of the palace, but is only 14 million taels of silver, but in the blink of an eye to last year, it reached 32 million taels of silver, this year, I am afraid that it will be doubled, the efficiency of the railway, has been greatly revealed, coupled with the development of the market of Western countries, and the development of maritime trade, the child believes, if you give a few more years, Even the strength of the two provinces of Dingnan and Jiaozhi is enough to match the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the imperial court, or even better. ”
Hao Zheng smiled: "That's what my father means, a few days ago, I summoned some friends to discuss this matter for my father, and everyone's meaning is also like this, the court wants to delay time, and we also want to delay time, so the court will not move for the time being, what about us, we must prepare as soon as possible, and at the same time we must bluff, so that the court is afraid, many friends think that Zhu Gaosui is only afraid of being more afraid of going to war now, and because of this, he will definitely send a messenger to come to Langshan to negotiate with us, and want to try his best to appease our father and son, When the time comes, there will be many benefits to be promised. And this ...... In fact, it is good for us. ”
Hao Fenglou didn't expect that his father actually had a plan and strategy, and at this point, Hao Fenglou also agreed very much, he is not a reckless person, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and he still needs a lot of time to digest a lot of things.
And the court's rat trap is actually beneficial to itself, depending on how you deal with it.
After a conversation, the father and son have reached a consensus, Hao Zheng naturally continued to be busy with his official business, and Hao Fenglou is ostensibly resting at home, in fact, there are many things to be busy recently, he is not in Langshan all the year round, although he knows a little about the things here in Langshan, and is extremely concerned, but after all, he is not as good as his father, and now he wants to preside over military affairs, so he inevitably wants to understand the truth about Langshan, so he ordered someone to take the official documents of you, and read them one by one, hoping to find out the details of Dingnan and Jiaozhi, which ...... For Hao Fenglou, it is only the first step to take charge of the power here, if he doesn't even know his own catties, and he does things recklessly, then Hao Fenglou will be blind for a few years in Jinyiwei.
