The light in the room was a little dim, and I didn't dare to open the window. The autumn wind was also cold, and Governor Qi's physical condition was obviously not suitable for catching a cold again, so I let him stay dark.

After entering the house, Governor Qi took off his cloak with my help and wore an old military-style general's uniform, just like his decades of military experience.

After someone sliced ​​the American ginseng I brought, I made tea, mixed some condiments such as candied fruits, and then brought them to Governor Qi. The old man smiled at the teacup, held his hands tremblingly, and took a few sips.

My heart was like a knife. When I heard Huamei say that Governor Qi was in poor health, I was busy fighting with the Spanish and couldn't take care of coming back. Later, I was about to come back, and I delayed three times along the way and delayed two more times.

Although what I did was to better deal with the next war, from the perspective of Governor Qi, is it too inappropriate for me to do this?

I was thinking about this proposition that I couldn't understand, and I couldn't help but feel dazed. Governor Qi was destined to die, wealth and honor were in heaven, and everyone had their own destiny. Don't be too sad.

I forced a smile and said: Qi Lan went overseas this time and learned her superb medical skills. She took her pulse secretly for her seniors. Her pulse was just a little weak and her physical foundation was still good. I believe that as long as she is happy and she will recover in just ten months!

Governor Qi laughed twice, causing him to cough violently. I quickly went up and gently massaged his back, and he returned to his calmness after a while. He took another sip of water and said slowly:

The fifty-two people are not considered premature death, but now I am one in sixty, and life is enough. Qi Lan does not need to be sad, so tell me what happened after you went to sea.

I wiped my tears secretly, responded, and sat down next to him, talking about what happened after I went to sea.

At this time, everyone else in the room retreated, leaving us with a space to be alone. During this period, the youngest son of Qi Xingguo, who came home to visit his father, came in and added two refrigerations, and I was the first time I met him.

When I left the Ming Dynasty and went to Japan immediately. According to the wishes of the second uncle, I checked and balanced power between the two most powerful names in Japan, and finally maintained the pattern of splitting between the East and West in Japan. You must know this battle.

I added hot water to Governor Qi's cup and said with a smile.

The chief minister often said: People in Dongyi are narrow-minded and tyrannical, and they only respect the superiors but do not care about the poor and inferiors. Their nature is like tigers and wolves. If they restore unity, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Qi Lan's move is quite consistent with the chief minister, and he is worthy of his descendants.

After Governor Qi finished speaking seriously, he gently reached out and pinched my shoulders, and whispered: I will live up to my support! Qi Lan.

I shook my head and sighed: Who knew that Japan has once again invaded North Korea? Its meaning is the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows it, but the people in the court do not believe in their words and are reluctant to send troops.

Governor Qi's eyes shone with a light of wisdom and chuckled: Now Japan is divided into two groups, called gambling competition, but it is actually a competition. He cannot break the deadlock at home, so he led the war out. Such a situation is far better for the Ming Dynasty than the attack of the unified army!

I agree with his point of view: It is true. Both enemies are very cautious, which gives us room for use. However, if the little emperor has been slow to send troops, he is afraid that the relocation will be delayed for a long time. Once Goryeo destroys the country, it will no longer have the excuse to help him restore the country.

Governor Qi clenched his beard and smiled and said, Qi Lan was worried. Now the party struggles in the court are indeed very sharp, but there are no outstanding figures on both sides, but black chickens pecked at each other. The little emperor Zhu Yijun looked fierce and weak on the inside, and could not hold on for a while. If Qi Lan was worried, would he have the courage to go to the capital to persuade the child?

I snorted softly and said: The governor doesn’t know anything. Although Qi Lan is not even a thousand troops when he comes back this time, there are still new warships nearby?

My mysterious saying: My master said that there are three levels of fire in the Ming Dynasty. Ming is the virtue of fire, which is one level of fire; Ming is the surname Zhu, which is the second level of fire; Ming is the sun and the moon, and the sun is the ultimate yang, which is the three level of fire.

Governor Qi nodded and agreed with my statement very much. The theory of the Five Elements has been widely recognized in all dynasties, so he believed in my next words three times.

According to customary behavior, fire produces earth, and those who replace fire should be earth. This is the theory of the mutual generation of the five virtues. However, the three fires are too fierce, and the theory of mutual generation is not enough to bear. Therefore, the master believes that the five virtues are incompatible and those who replace fire with bright fire must be water!

Governor Qi leaned forward and asked: Where should he be? His eyes were filled with divine light. He actually had his own judgment in his heart, just wanting to hear my answer.

I stared at his eyes tightly and replied with four words softly: It should be in the Northeast!

Hearing these four words, Governor Qi seemed to have been exhausted all his strength, and sat back into the chair, staring at the roof in a daze.

After a long time, I suddenly asked me: Do you know what the national name Nurhaci was preparing to establish the country?

I answered again: Qing Dynasty!

Governor Qi closed his eyes tightly and said in a hoarse voice: The Qing Dynasty is the three-fold water, which just restrains the three-fold fire of the Ming Dynasty! When I was in Jizhou, I told you that the one who is most worried about in my heart is this Jurchen. Don’t you think it will come true in the future?

I nodded and sighed: My master and his elders said everything, and I believe this matter is not wrong.

Governor Qi came out for a while and suddenly looked at me and said: So are you planning to stimulate the Ming Dynasty so that he can feel more pressure and then work hard?

I stood up, took out a drawing from my bag at my feet, and spread it gently on the table.

This is a drawing of a British Garen warship. I pointed to the hull drawn on it and explained: This ship is called the British Garen, and I brought more than a dozen ships when I came back this time.

Governor Qi stood up with great interest, supported the table with both hands, and looked at the warship on the drawings.

This ship is made of iron wood and is extremely tough. It cannot penetrate ordinary small-caliber artillery fire. Every hour, it sails more than 100 miles and is equipped with 200 artillery on one side. The lightest one is also the largest artillery artillery of our dynasty! And the range of firepower is above our artillery. If thousands of ships arrive at the same time, I am afraid that our Ming Dynasty's Thousand Mile Sea Defense may not be able to support its bombardment!

As I said that, I smashed the drawing with my palm and lowered my voice: Any small Western scattered countries can rely on their technological strength to change their lives, let alone our great Ming Dynasty? Therefore, Qi Lan is not afraid of being criticized, but just wants to take this opportunity to wake up the foolish little emperor and revive the glory of the Ming Dynasty!

My commentator asked Governor Qi to hold the backrest of the seat tightly. He was obviously very worried, or he couldn't believe it. After a while, he suddenly asked me: Is this boat in the boat you brought back? Let's take me to see it!

I frowned. How could Governor Qi be so weak? I couldn't help but speak: Governor, you should cultivate for a few days, and it's not too late to wait until your health is recovered!

Governor Qi sighed, patted my shoulder, and laughed in a low voice: Child, I know you are thinking about me wholeheartedly. But I, Qi Nantang, have been in the army since I was a child, and have been rushing to the sea defense city defense of the Ming Dynasty all my life. I once said, "I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope the sea waves will be peaceful." Could it be that I am just talking about it?"

Looking at the old general's righteousness, I couldn't help but pursed my lips tightly. I have long taken life and death indifferent to these soldiers with integrity, ethics, ideals and ambitions. They are afraid that they are full of beautiful lands!

I understand! Governor, let’s set off now! I reached out to join Governor Qi’s arm and replied in a low voice.

Let’s go! I want to see with my own eyes how strong this fortress on the sea is! Governor Qi is so proud!
Chapter completed!
