"Then you can't be with your father all the time, he already has his own kingdom, and you don't want to help him govern?" Hong Tao really couldn't figure out this child's thoughts, and shouted all day long to see his father, and now that he has the opportunity to be together, he has to choose a place far away from his father to be the governor. www.biquge.info Even though this overseas base is indeed very important, it is not to the extent that they have to serve as a young couple.

"I also want to make a career alone like you, I don't want to rely on my father and your care, with you, my father's kingdom is the same with or without my help." When Luo Meimei said this, his expression was very similar to the little fat man who was ashamed to say that he wanted to be a king when he grew up.

"Hahahaha...... I'll wait until I meet your father. His kingdom is really not my subordinate, it is up to him to develop well or badly, if you don't help him, he will have to do his own work. And he doesn't want to be this king, the reason why he has been operating overseas for so many years is not for your dream of being a king. Okay, let's not talk about it for now, but there's still time to think about it until you figure out everything about the Americas. By the way, who are they after talking about it for a long time? I have saved too many people and killed too many people, I really can't remember, what can Wen Nan have to do with them? Hong Tao understood that the reason why Luo Meimei didn't want to help Luo Youde establish a kingdom was that he thought that these kingdoms were fiefs led by himself, and he was not free because he was in charge of them.

"Old Wu! Old Wu! Come here, Your Majesty calls you! Luo Meimei did not answer Hong Tao's question directly, but turned his head and shouted at the prisoner of war camp, and a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a captain of the Royal Navy ran over.

"Your Majesty......" The middle-aged man ran to Hong Tao and gave Hong Tao a military salute.

"Captain Wu...... I still haven't remembered, so it's better for you to introduce yourself. Hong Tao looked at this middle-aged man a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember who he was, this kind of game of guessing who I am is very boring.

"The subordinate surname is Wu, and one word is used. The name my parents gave me is really true, the villain is really useless, I can't even be a captain, and I have fallen to the point of being a mercenary for the maritime merchants, if I hadn't met the Minister of Culture, I would still be helping the maritime merchants escort the goods in the Red Sea......" The middle-aged man suddenly knelt on the ground, reported his name, and in the end, tears began to fall from his eyes, as if he had a great grievance.

"Wu Yong! I remember, Wu Juntou of the Mingzhou Water Division, right? Didn't you go to serve in the Cape Town garrison, and why did you end up like this? Get up first, there is no kneeling in the Royal Navy, rush this point, you are not qualified! As soon as he heard this very distinctive name, Hong Tao immediately remembered.

At the beginning, He Jinrong led the fleet of the imperial maritime merchants of the Great Song Dynasty to the equatorial windless zone, and he rescued a total of seven ships, this Wu Yong was the head of the flagship, and under his management, most of the sailors on the flagship survived. At that time, he took a boatload of Southern Song sailors to surrender to the Jinhe Empire, and after a one-year identification period, he still signed an order and sent them to the port of Cape Town to take up their posts.

"The subordinate violated military discipline and violated military orders, and was convicted by the Royal Navy. The Governor of Po remembered that I had a relationship with His Majesty, and did not send us back to the Empire for trial, and expelled us from the port of Cape Town. I took my family back to the port of Kalamba by boat, we didn't dare to go back to Jinhe City, and we had no other skills, so in order to support our family, we could only become mercenaries and escort delivery ships for maritime merchants. More than 100 brothers have died in more than 30 years in more than a year, and if it weren't for the chance encounter with Minister Wen and telling us that there are still places to use people on His Majesty's side, our brothers probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Your Majesty. Wu Juntou stood up from the ground and briefly told him what had happened in the past two years. The more he talked, the more aggrieved he became, and he cried a lot of tears and snot.

"Did you take the lead in opposing the empire's sending troops to the Southern Song Dynasty?" Hong Tao probably knew what the crime of this Wu military leader had committed, and he might have opposed the military deployment of the empire like Martini. After all, he and his group of sailor brothers were all from the Southern Song Dynasty, and many relatives still lived in the Southern Song Dynasty, so they definitely did not want the two countries to fight. But this kind of thing is said by the governor of the empire, Medini, who is a small captain of the garrison fleet, is not qualified to say this at all. Moreover, the army is not a government, the army has its own set of laws, there is no principle of people's cooking, orders are everything, and no opposition is allowed, let alone confrontation.

"Your Majesty, we have been wronged! The villain is just reluctant to participate in the battle against the Great Song and wants to stay in the port of Cape Town. I know we can't stop the Empire's policies, but we can't let our brothers drive warships to fight their relatives and neighbors! Wu Yong listened to Hong Tao's words, puffed down and knelt down again, and raised a face full of wrinkles and tears.

"Get up...... Now that you are in the Royal Navy, you have to abide by the rules of the navy, and you have to shoot whoever you are asked to fight, even if it is your own father on the other side, you have to shoot. This is the army, this is the war. Don't blame the Imperial Government, and don't blame the Governor-General...... No one can be blamed for this. Not only you, but there are many Great Song immigrants in the empire, and they are probably not willing to go to war with the Great Song Dynasty in their hearts. But this is the national policy of the empire, who made the Great Song Dynasty a waste, even if the empire doesn't care about it, sooner or later others will think about it. Hong Tao stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Juntou up from the ground, on this matter, he could not accuse the Jinhe Empire of any fault. From a legal point of view, Wu Juntou is indeed guilty and not wronged.

"Your Majesty, can you save the Great Song Dynasty...... The Imperial Government must also listen to His Majesty...... Can you just hit the court and not the common people? I am willing to take my brother to open the way for the Imperial Navy and rush along the river into Lin'an City! Wu Juntou is not dead, he has been staying in Cape Town all the year round, and he doesn't know much about the changes within the Jinhe Empire, thinking that even if Hong Tao abdicates, he will still be the emperor who said the same thing back then.

"Captain Wu, don't embarrass Your Majesty, Your Majesty also has to abide by the laws of the Empire, this is the decision of the Imperial Government, do you want Your Majesty to quarrel with the new Emperor! It's better to go and busy with you, and don't force it if you can't do it, it won't do you and your brothers any good. In the future, if you take everyone's family members, follow my father. Where is not alive, a place is not happy, we have a boat, we go somewhere else. Luo Meimei understands much better than Wu Juntou, this question Hong Tao can't answer, rather than embarrassing his father-in-law, it is better to end this conversation as soon as possible.

"Captain Wu, when you come back, I remember that your family belongs to the Jiaxing Army, right?" Seeing Wu Yong turn his head and leave, Hong Tao suddenly stopped him again.

"The villain and most of the brothers are from the Jiaxing Army......" Wu Juntou was stunned, why is this homely again?

"Are you particularly familiar with the Qiantang River? Its water conditions at every high and low tide, at every shoal, in every season. Hong Tao ignored Luo Mei and Hong Salamander's puzzlement, and then asked.

“…… Yes, the little people grew up by the river since they were children, followed their father and brother to fish and transport goods on the river, and knew where they were going with their eyes closed. Wu Juntou didn't even shed tears, he couldn't figure out what the old emperor was going to ask.

"What about Lin'an City? Are you familiar with Lin'an City? Hong Tao began to touch the beard on his chin, which was a natural reaction of his brain running at high speed.

"Familiar, the villain and his two elder brothers have sent firewood for Lin'an for more than four years, and they usually live in the shack outside the bamboo car gate, and they wander around Lin'an City when they have nothing to do, and once they climbed the back mountain of the palace and were almost shot to death by the Imperial Forest Army." Wu Juntou nodded vigorously.

"Father-in-law, ...... are you" Luo Meimei seemed to feel something, his eyes suddenly widened, and he asked in a low voice.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Boy, Wu Juntou won't go to your father's place. Captain Wu, would you rather come with me, or with him? There are great benefits to coming with me, think about it! At this time, Hong Tao put down his hand touching his beard, returned to his original smiling appearance, and squeezed his eyes at Wu Juntou.

"That'...... Then I will let you down, I will go with Your Majesty......" Wu Juntou looked at Luo Mei, then at Hong Tao, and quickly made a decision.

"Pony? Oh yes, my girl is a princess, I forgot about it, hahahaha. Come, princess, go around with your father, and see how well your colt manages this place. Old Wu, take your people on my ship first, get familiar with the new ships and new guns as soon as possible, and you are now the acting commander of the fleet. You know the rules of the navy, my sailors and captains are two knives, practice them well. This sentence made Hong Tao stunned, he had only heard this title in the play, and now he actually used it on his family, and he was really not used to it.

"Hey...... Be! But Your Majesty, there are only more than a dozen people who came with me this time, and there is not such a big place on the ship to bring the rest of the people and their families over, can the villain go back and pick them up first? Wu Juntou was a little ecstatic, the captain was gone, but now he was the commander of the fleet, and the hardships of the past two years have not been in vain. But the joy lasted only a few seconds, and he thought of his subordinates and family again.

"You don't have to worry about this, don't worry about staying here, I'll let someone else pick it up." Aren't you trying to save Da Song? Do a good job, whether you can save Da Song this time depends on whether you, the commander of the fleet, are qualified enough. I'll talk about this in a few days, I have other things to deal with, you can get busy yourself. Hong Tao appreciates the quality of his subordinates in the face of glory and wealth, and such people can be used with confidence. Because they have too many scruples, they will never mess around if they are not in a hurry, in layman's terms, it is righteousness! If you are worthy of him, he will repay him tenfold, and if necessary, he will not go against their heart.
