There were two people on the painting, who were not Fang Xiaoyu and Lei Tingting?

The portrait was lifelike and turned out to be a sketch. This painting was painted by Fang Xiaoyu himself, but it was worshipped as a relic.

Fang Chengxiao placed the incense and candles well and looked at the two of them on the painting and said, "Brother Ping'an, my father has been sending people to find his uncle's whereabouts over the years. Maybe there will be news soon."

Fang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's been so many years, and there has been no news. If my father really appeared, I'm afraid he'd appeared long ago, and there wouldn't be any news in the past that there were so many difficulties."

It can be heard that Fang Ping'an has no news about Fang Xiaoyu for many years, and he really has some complaints. After all, no matter who he is, he is abandoned at birth and has never seen his parents. Everyone will feel a little complaining like Fang Ping'an.

Fang Chengxiao said: "Maybe uncle was delayed because of something, or maybe for some other reason..."

Fang Ping'an said with a little depression in his expression: "Don't comfort me, it's been so many years since I've been used to it. My mother died of dysfunction. Perhaps it's because of this that his father would avoid me."

In Fang Ping'an's view, the reason why Fang Xiaoyu avoided him was because of his biological mother Lei Tingting.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't want to see things and miss people, so she didn't see him for so many years.

Fang Chengxiao coughed lightly and changed the topic: "Brother Ping'an, don't mention these things anymore. Why not talk about the arrival of the European Three Kingdoms coalition this time."

Fang Ping'an was originally in a low mood, but after listening to Fang Chengxiao's words, his expression turned right and his depression disappeared. His eyes flashed with a splendor and said, "Let's go, let's talk as we go."

Fang Ping'an seemed to be a natural talent for commanders. He has been with Fang Shiyu since he was a child. Later, he destroyed the Qing court. Fang Ping'an also experienced all kinds of battles. With Fang Shiyu's training, Fang Ping'an was a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. At the age of 18, he became the commander of the first army and later was responsible for the commander's army to pacify the southeast. Since then, he has been guarding the southeast.

It can be said that Fang Ping'an is a commander-in-chief among the many generals of the New Dynasty. Because of his identity, Fang Ping'an always has the most military and horses, so he has received the most training. Even if the commander-in-chief who can compare with him in the army is probably only one or two.

The construction of the Xin Dynasty navy has only been more than ten years since its establishment. Although the navy is not small at all with the strong support of the Xin Dynasty, it has never experienced a large-scale naval battle after all.

Fang Ping'an is a talented general in the land war, and his naval battles are not bad. After all, he has good qualifications and has commanded the Southeast Navy. He has had experience in fighting with other countries on weekdays.

The entire southeast and even the Strait of Malacca were defeated by Fang Ping'an personally, so Fang Ping'an's talent in naval command is worthy of recognition. At least in the New Dynasty, there is no one that can be compared with him.

After all, China has always attached importance to land and was light on the ocean, and it is reasonable to have a shortage of military talents in naval warfare.

In other words, the continuous small-scale naval battles have gradually trained a group of naval forces with considerable qualities. Otherwise, if they really faced the European Three Kingdoms coalition, Fang Ping'an would not be able to take any advantage.

The Three Kingdoms of Europe, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain are all naval powers. Because Malacca was captured by Fang Ping'an, the Three Kingdoms shocked.

The Three Kingdoms often struggle in the face of internal struggles, but such a navy emerged in the distant East, especially this navy, which actually showed a peek at the ocean.

When it comes to national strength, whether it is population or wealth, the Three Kingdoms are not comparable to the New Dynasty. If the New Dynasty is not interested in the sea, then the Three Kingdoms can naturally monopolize maritime transactions and earn a huge amount of wealth through trade between the East and the West.

However, when China, which has always been disdainful to the sea, showed its importance to the ocean, the Three Kingdoms became a little nervous.

A powerful country with the largest economy and population in the world, even if it divides its attention into a part of the ocean, it will be enough to burst out with terrifying power. Therefore, in order to avoid the rise of the new dynasty navy, the three countries abandoned their prejudices and joined forces to form a huge fleet.

The fleet composed of the three countries of Europe is definitely the largest warship fleet in the world today, with hundreds of the most powerful ships today, plus the auxiliary warships of all sizes, at least hundreds of them.

Don’t look at the battles in the East at all times, hundreds or thousands of warships are always there, but those small boats cannot be compared with warships.

It’s like the Zheng family, which occupied the treasure island, had thousands of ships of all sizes during its heyday, but weren’t they careful when dealing with the Three Kingdoms of Europe?

The New Dynasty built a large-scale naval force. Now there are thousands of warships in the southeast, but the total number of ships that can be regarded as new warships is only more than a hundred ships comparable to Europa warships.

After all, the New Dynasty really invested a lot of energy into the navy after Fang Ping'an pacified the southeast, and it took only a few years to build warships.

If we follow the attitude of the courts towards the sea in previous dynasties, Fang Shiyu and others would not pay attention to the sea, but who told Fang Xiaoyu to leave a word that the future must pay attention to the sea.

Especially the forces left by Fang Xiaoyu to operate maritime trade not only achieved huge amounts of wealth and laid the economic foundation for overthrow of the Qing court, but more importantly, he broadened his horizons, opened his eyes to the world, and realized the importance of the ocean.

Therefore, Fang Ping'an can be regarded as following Fang Xiaoyu's will and building a navy on a large scale.

About a year ago, Fang Ping'an led a new navy to occupy the Strait of Malacca, holding this world-class level in his hands, and suddenly stagnating trade exchanges between the East and the West.

How could the three countries of Europe endure increased taxes from the New Dynasties? So after nearly a year of planning and preparation, the three-country coalition forces came eastward.

There were hundreds of warships, hundreds of warships, and more than 100,000 troops. It can be said that nearly half of the naval forces of the Three European countries were deployed, and it was very likely to pacify the Xin Dynasty navy in one fell swoop and directly defeat the Xin Dynasty navy back to the primitive society.

The European Three-Nation Alliance came in full force and did not hide their purpose at all. The news had long been learned and sent back by spies from the New Dynasty.

In the southeast, in his fiefdom, Fang Ping'an, as the King of Zhennan, is really like an emperor, with strong autonomy and even mobilized his own military horses.

After worshiping his parents in the ancestral hall, Fang Ping'an personally led a large army to Malacca.

Above the military port, warships gathered, and at first glance, thousands of sails competed, and the vastness was endless.

Fang Chengxiao, who insisted on beating Fang Ping'an, was the first time that he had seen so many sea ships gather together. The huge scale and momentum made Fang Chengxiao amazed.

Arriving on the tall ship, this is the flagship of the entire fleet, named the Yangtze River. After boarding the ship, with Fang Ping'an's order, many of the original ships began to move slowly.
