"Young master, I'm back!"

Wu Daofu, who was already in his prime, with a somewhat weak figure, walked down from a warship going to and from the Holland Ryukyus Kingdom in Keelung Town, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Keelung Town, took Li Tianyang's hand, and said tremblingly.

"It's good to come back, and in the future, you can retire at home with peace of mind, and take care of your old age!"

Li Tianyang looked kind, as an old man who has been following him since then, Li Tianyang is full of gratitude to Wu Daofu for his efforts over the years.

"Look, Brother Tiger and they are all here to pick you up, I'm afraid your family hasn't been so reunited for many years!"

"Yes, everything is good on the Ryukyu side, but I miss Huzi and them very much, and I also miss our own hometown!"

Wu Daofu looked at Wu Hu, who rushed over from Bengang behind him, as well as several of Wu Hu's children and young grandchildren, and his eyes were indescribably kind.

He has been stationed on the three islands of Iriomote for many years, and because of his important tasks, Wu Daofu has left his other children on Dayuan Island to develop except for his wife and several children and nephews.

Among them, there are naturally intentions such as leaving his family by Li Tianyang's side to show his loyalty, but more often than not, Wu Daofu has a far-reaching vision, attaches more importance to the future prospects of Hongmen, and does not want to ruin the good prospects of his children in Hongmen for his own selfishness.

For example, Wu Hu is now the director of the Bengang Public Security Bureau on the surface, but in fact, in secret, he is still the supreme person in charge of the Hongmen internal guard in Bengang, controlling various movements in Bengang, and its important position is self-evident.

"That is, no matter how rich you are outside, it is better to go home and live with your family, and have the opportunity to let Brother Tiger take you around our territory, more than a dozen thoughts have passed, the changes on our Dayuan Island are too great, you should really be familiar with it!"

Li Tianyang smiled, stepped forward to help Wu Daofu, pointed to the prosperous scene inside and outside Keelung Town, and said proudly.

"That is, since I was a child, I knew that the young master had great ambitions and poems and books, and our future days would be bright with you, but now I see that the night is not bad at all, which shows that my old eyes are still very sharp!"

Wu Daofu looked at the traffic in the dock area with great interest, he had heard of the prosperity of Keelung Town, and often came back to visit and report to Li Tianyang, but every time he came back, he could always feel the difference in Keelung Town, which was as fast as a sailboat with a tailwind on the water, smooth but fast.

"On the side of the Ryukyu Kingdom, my subordinates have already transferred the position of Admiral of the Ryukyu to Xiao Xiurong, in fact, Xiao Xiurong has helped me take care of many things over the years, as long as there is a group of them, the Ryukyu Sailor is still under our control."

"On the islands around Iriomote, we have recruited more than 100,000 people to cultivate on the island, and the roster has been submitted to the Keelung Town Government for classification and filing."

"After all these years of development, the scale of the Ryukyu Navy Division now has 13,500 people, all of them are strong and other men, and they are at a loss for daily practice, not that their subordinates boast, and today's Ryukyu Navy soldiers are no worse than the soldiers of our Hongtang Water Division!"

After reminiscing about the old days and learning from his children and sons-in-law, Wu Daofu still did not forget that he had other important things to do, and after sending his relatives away, he followed Li Tianyang back to the Yamen of the Admiral of Keelung Town, and reported to Li Tianyang about the achievements he had made in the Ryukyus over the years.

Wu Daofu is now an old man in his seventies, and he is staggering when he walks, coupled with the dark illness caused by hard work in the early years, his energy and physical strength are getting worse and worse.

Therefore, after returning to Keelung Town this time, Wu Daofu no longer went back to the Ryukyu Kingdom to report on his work, and was taken back to Dayuan Island by Li Tianyang to support the elderly, which can be regarded as an official retirement.

As the first batch of elderly people in Hongmen, Li Tianyang gave them due benefits to these old people who had followed him for a long time and made countless contributions.

Of course, compared with Wu Daofu's rich and noble status in the Ryukyus before, the treatment on the Hongmen side is naturally much worse, and there is not much power, but compared with the pension system in this era, it can be regarded as a precedent.

At least, Hongmen is responsible for providing for the elderly who have contributed to the elderly, with enough living expenses every month, and there will also be a caring and other benefits during the New Year's holidays, which is enough to make those ordinary people outside Hongmen envious and jealous.

Correspondingly, the inheritance of father and son was therefore stopped by Hongmen, such as the position of Ryukyu Navy Admiral, if it is according to the difference between relatives and relatives, as long as there is the support of Hongmen, Wu Daofu will try to make some arrangements, and after Wu Daofu abdicates, it is not impossible for this position to fall to his own sons and nephews.

But in the end, Wu Daofu's relatives didn't get anything, but this position was inherited by Xiao Xiurong, who had been following Wu Daofu to fight on Iriomote Island and had all the credit.

In Li Tianyang's cognition, Xiao Xiurong's position is actually only a transition, and in the following half a year at most, a cadre of middle and high-level generals who had followed Wu Daofu to fight on the three islands of Iriomote would be recalled by Hongmen and entrusted with another important task.

As for whether such an arrangement will make Wu Daofu dissatisfied, and whether it will cause the Ryukyu soldiers to be dissatisfied, it is that Li Tianyang does not need to care about other things.

If you want to become a reasonable and perfect organization, Hongmen can't tie your hands and feet because of factors such as relatives and alienation, like Xiao Xiurong, although Li Tianyang admits their abilities, but in order to prevent possible dissent, Li Tianyang must rearrange this group of heroes who laid the foundation of Iriomote Island.

This is not a rabbit dying and a dog is hiding, but acting in this way, not only for the sake of the future of the team as a whole, but also for the sake of Xiao Xiurong and his brothers.

People's minds change, they stay in one position for a long time, and after they get used to the charm brought by the power position, no one can guarantee how people's hearts will change, even if Xiao Xiurong's brothers have always been loyal to Hongmen.

"After all these years of hard work, your old age, our team will definitely not forget your old exploits in the future!"

Li Tianyang was indignant, in fact, how could he not know the reality of the Iriomote Mishima to which Wu Daofu belonged, just seeing that Wu Daofu wanted to show his merits in front of him when he was about to retire, Li Tianyang was naturally willing to comfort the other party.

"In the future, you will enjoy the happiness in our place, with Brother Tiger and them taking care of you, it is time to take care of your old age!"

Li Tianyang greeted Wu Daofu cordially and said words to soothe him.
