"What, what do you think?" Sun Dalei said with a smile, "I don't want to build another wall to block the Leizhou Peninsula." ”

"That's unrealistic." Xu Lang asked, "What did you say when you went to see the county magistrate of Xu Wen County, did he agree with us to enter the county seat?" ”

"I didn't mention it." Sun Dalei said, "Before we came, the committee had instructions to take root first and slowly infiltrate the entire Leizhou Peninsula. This is also our first pure military base on the mainland, as long as we can control one point, the rest are not in a hurry. ”

After Sun Dalei finished speaking, he asked: "How do I think you seem to have something on your mind, and what else can't be put down." ”

"There's nothing on my mind." Xu Lang turned around and looked at the sea for a while, "The spring offensive against Vietnam is about to begin, and I don't know how the preparations are at home, we really can't afford to lose this time." ”

"It's useless to worry." Sun Dalei said, "If you really don't worry, you can go back when the dock is built in a few days, and I'll just keep an eye on it." ”

In the office of the Admiralty and the Yulin Bay Naval Command, Zeng Guangxian had not yet gotten off work when he arrived at the helm of the lamp. The spring offensive was imminent, and Zeng Guangxian was still reviewing the navy's offensive plan under the candle.

Da Silva knocked on the door and walked in: "Sir." ”

Zeng Guangxian looked up: "Da Silva, why haven't you gotten off work yet, is there anything else?" ”

"Sir." Da Silva said embarrassedly, "If the chief is free, there is something I would like to ask the chief for advice." ”

Zeng Guangxian closed the documents on the table: "What do you have to do, business or private?" ”

Da Silva was even more embarrassed: "Sir, it's a private matter. If the chief is willing, his subordinates will invite the chief to drink, and we will talk while drinking. ”

Zeng Guangxian smiled: "Okay, you now know the rules of our Ming Dynasty, you can't talk about things without drinking." Since you're so interested, I'll invite you to drink, and let's go to the Yulin Bay Hotel for barbecue, where they're open all night. ”

"No, no, sir, it's still your subordinates who ask you, your subordinates have encountered difficulties and want to ask the chief to give me an idea."

The two of them came to the Yulin Bay Hotel, but they didn't look for a room, so they set up a table outside and asked for some rice wine and barbecue to eat and drink.

Han Wantao and Zeng Guangxian usually have a very good attitude towards Westerners like Andreas and Da Silva, and they can help with other things except work, so these Westerners will be the first to find them to tell them if they have any problems for so many years.

Zeng Guangxian didn't know what happened to Da Silva this time and couldn't solve it, so he reached out and took the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Da Silva: "Is there anything in trouble again, let's talk about it first, I can help you." ”

"Thank you, sir." Da Silva took a sip of the glass of wine, and did not hide it, "Sir, I have a fancy for a woman, she is a Ming person, and I want to marry her." ”

The directness of the Westerners made Zeng Guangxian laugh a little, but it was nothing. There are now more than 1,000 Westerners, Japanese, and tens of thousands of Vietnamese in Yulin Bay. For example, Henglu Jinger and Li Wenqing have also married daughters-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, and some Westerners have married Ming Dynasty people, which are allowed by Yulin Bay.

"Da Silva, how old are you?" Zeng Guangxian asked.

"My subordinates are Chinese New Year's Eve seven years today, and they have been coming to Yulin Bay for seven or eight years."

"Isn't it small, didn't you have a wife when you were in Europe?"

"Sir." Da Silva replied, "My subordinates believe in Jesus, and if they have wives, they will not want to marry anyone else." Isn't it because he still has his wife and children in Germany that he hasn't looked for anyone else? ”

"What are you anxious about?" Zeng Guangxian said with a smile, "You are also thirty-seven, and you are still single, so don't you just propose marriage to whoever you like." We in Yulin Bay do not prohibit you Westerners from marrying the Ming Dynasty. ”

"But sir." "She's a widow. ”

"She's a widow?" Zeng Guangxian hesitated for a moment, "But widows are nothing, isn't Mrs. Han married by Chief Jiang also a widow." ”

"But sir." Da Silva's voice became quieter, "She also has a son, her son has also married and had children, and she is now a grandmother." ”

Zeng Guangxian almost didn't squirt out the wine in his mouth: "She has grandchildren?" So how old is she, she won't be older than you, right? ”

"No, no." Da Silva hurriedly explained, "She is a year younger than her subordinates, and her subordinates and her are really in love, and their subordinates really like her." But she never agreed to her subordinates, and her son and her clan seemed reluctant. The subordinates really had no choice, so they wanted to find the chief to give their subordinates an idea. ”

Zeng Guangxian felt that although he didn't faint, he was about to be stunned by Da Silva's incident. People who have become grandmothers have to marry again, which is probably extremely rare in the entire Ming Dynasty. But according to the law of Yulin Bay, it seems that there is nothing against the law, not to mention that according to Da Silva, she really likes Da Silva.

"That." Zeng Guangxian really didn't know what to do, "Then what do you think yourself, what do you want to do now?" ”

"The subordinate wants to propose to her." Da Silva drained the rice wine in the cup in one gulp, turned his head and shouted, "Shopkeeper, change the big bowl." ”

Dong Fei personally walked over with two big bowls: "Brothers are quite able to drink, Da Silva, do you want to get drunk with your former chief before resting?" ”

Da Silva stood up and saluted: "Chairman Dong." ”

"Don't call the chairman." Dong Fei put the bowl down, "I'm not your chairman anymore, I'm now a god-like day without an official or a job, with the smell of wine." ”

"Lao Dong, you also drink two glasses." Zeng Guangxian poured two bowls of wine, "Help Da Silva come up with an idea, he has a problem." ”

"Shout, you can have a problem, too." Dong Fei pulled a chair and sat down, and picked up the wine bowl with his hand, "Come, do this bowl, tell me what problems you have encountered." ”

This Ming Dynasty woman, surnamed Zheng, and Da Silva knew each other because of her brother. Although Zheng is 36 years old and has become a grandmother, her younger brother is only 20 years old this year, serving in the Yulin Bay Navy, and happens to be Da Silva's subordinate. Zheng's parents have passed away, and her mother only has this younger brother, who is not a few years older than her son, so Zheng often goes to the navy to see her younger brother, and she meets Da Silva after coming and going.

At the beginning, there was nothing, and the contact between Zheng and Da Silva was also very measured, but he couldn't stand the long-term relationship. Especially when the navy went to sea for training, Zheng's younger brother was on Da Silva's ship. In order to protect Da Silva, Zheng's younger brother was cut on the arm by a cable and was admitted to Yulin Bay Hospital. Zheng stayed with the bed in the hospital every day, and Da Silva couldn't help it, and he also visited the hospital from time to time, and the two gradually fell in love with each other.

Da Silva confessed to Zheng once, but Zheng sternly rejected him and told Da Silva that he was a person who even had grandchildren and never thought of remarrying.
