"Is there anything else going on with the Overseers?" Fan Liang scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression

Liu Fan was speechless and said, "You cried for me first, and I don't know what you have experienced in the past three months?" You should tell me the ins and outs, right? ”

"......," Fan Liang smiled awkwardly, "The Overseer is right, he should report back to you!" ”

"Well, that's right! Come on, let's sit down and talk slowly! Liu Fan pulled Fan Liang to the chair next to him, and said with a smile, "It's still early, you have to explain everything to me clearly!" ”

Fan Liang was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said slowly, "Here's the thing..."

From the departure of the Jiaozhou fleet from Jiaozhou Bay until the return again. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Fan Liang told Liu Fan everything he had experienced in the past three months. Nagasaki, Edo, the Zheng family, the Tang Tsushi to the Tokugawa Iemitsu, and even that great war. No matter how big or small, everything slowly unfolded in front of Liu Fan's eyes.

Time was passing quietly, and I don't know how long it was, when Liu Fan raised his head again, it was already dusk outside the window. Looking at Fan Liang with a tired face in front of him, Liu Fan couldn't help but stand up and say, "You guys have done a good job, even beyond my imagination." Now that Wang Zhi is dead, we are the victorious side. Luck or luck, we're the winners. This result is already very good for us, you have done what you need to do, and I will leave the rest to me! Ryoko, it's not too early, you can go back and rest first! It's never too late to talk about it tomorrow! Well, that's all for today! ”

"Overseer!" Seeing that Liu Fan was about to turn around, Fan Liang hurriedly stopped and said, "Overseer, the task you gave me has not been completed!" The fallen soldiers and their families are still waiting for me to pacify them, as well as the prisoners, the warships..."

"That's it!" Liu Fan directly interrupted: "I said it, I'll talk about it tomorrow!" Now it's your job to get some rest. I'll arrange the rest, don't you even believe me? ”

"Don't dare!" Fan Liang shook his head helplessly and said, "Since the overseers have said so, then the lowly command is the one." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Fan nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have a good rest these days, and then go to Qingdao Port to find me after you finish dealing with the matter at hand." Remember what I said, it's not terrible to make mistakes, the most terrible thing is to know that you're wrong but just blindly avoid it. No one is perfect, and everyone has times when they do something wrong. As long as you can recognize your mistakes and correct them in time. It's never too late to make amends! Let's go back and think about it! ”

Another bowl of chicken soup for the soul was sprinkled in Fan Liang's heart. For this admiral who has grown up, Liu Fan is not stingy with his feelings. Now Liu Fan is no longer the fledgling otaku, and the long-term training has made him more proficient in some imperial techniques. He knows how to capture a man's loyalty! Liu Fan believes that from today onwards, Fan Liang will become one of his most loyal followers.

As soon as he walked out of the barracks, the smile on Liu Fan's face gradually disappeared. After listening to Fan Liang's report, Liu Fan did not feel the slightest joy and joy. The Jiaozhou fleet's trip to Japan seems to have achieved a lot of results, but the benefits are not very large.

Especially in the battle with the pirates, although the Jiaozhou fleet won, the price paid was not small at all. Although more than a dozen warships were captured, Liu Fan really didn't like these broken things. Now the Qingdao shipyard has begun to take shape, and as long as there is enough time, new warships will be built continuously. What Liu Fan really lacked was not the ship, but the soldiers and experienced command staff who drove the ship. After a big battle, the 3,000 people that Liu Fan managed to pull out were lost by nearly one-third at once, which made Liu Fan feel very heartbroken. Look at the dozen or so ships of the pirates, some of the old-fashioned stick turtle ships, and even more unbearable Japanese tataku ships. These things can be used in the near sea, how useful can they really be in the sea? I'm afraid only those pirates will think of them as treasures! Can these unbearable things be compared to the lives of Liu Fan's naval soldiers? Obviously, in Liu Fan's opinion, this is disproportionate.

Let's talk about the "cooperation" with the Japanese shogunate. Through Fan Liang's narration, Liu Fan can be regarded as having a comprehensive understanding of the current situation in Japan. In Liu Fan's view, trading with the Ming Dynasty was originally one of the established national policies of the Tokugawa shogunate. The Tokugawa shogunate needed to trade with the Ming Dynasty in order to earn money and maintain its rule in Japan. The Tokugawa shogunate didn't really care who these merchants were who they were going to Japan. A pirate group like the Zheng family can land on the land of Nagasaki with dignity, not to mention the Jiaozhou fleet that represents the official Ming Dynasty. Obviously, Fan Liang was fooled by Tokugawa Iemitsu's guy. But now that the wood is in the boat, Liu Fan doesn't bother to care about anything. Liu Fan knew very well that the relationship between Japan and Jiaozhou did not depend mainly on those superficial "treaties", but on how much benefit Jiaozhou could bring to Japan. If Jiaozhou could bring a huge amount of wealth to the shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu would naturally change his attitude and try his best to win them over. If you can't, I'm afraid it won't help if Fan Liang says it's all over the place. However, the Tokugawa family dared to calculate the account of his general, and Liu Fan still wrote it down in his own small notebook for him, and if there was a chance, Liu Fan would not mind teaching these Japanese slaves how to behave!

Suddenly thinking of something, Liu Fan turned his head to Li Xiaohu beside him and said, "Xiaohu, you go back to the house in person, and tell the ladies that I won't be able to go back in the next few days." There are still a lot of things to deal with here in Qingdao, so I'll stay here for a few days so they don't have to worry about it! ”

The Jiaozhou fleet has just returned to Hong Kong and the aftermath has not yet begun, and there are still many things that Liu Fan needs to worry about. Originally, these things could have been handed over to Fan Liang, but who let Liu Fan make a mistake by himself and have to win people's hearts! This can be regarded as his own suffering!

For two days, Liu Fan spent two days in the courtyard in Qingdao dealing with many aftermath matters, soldiers' pensions, prisoner arrangements, ship maintenance, and loss statistics. There are a lot of things, and my busy feet don't touch the ground. Before Liu Fan could finish dealing with the matter at hand, a big trouble came to the door again.

In an elegant courtyard near the wharf of Qingdao Port, Liu Fan rubbed his eyebrows and looked at the old man in front of him with a wry smile and said, "Old Li, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, why do you have time to come to my small courtyard?" ”

Li Siyan replied with some embarrassment, "Overseer, the old man also heard that our fleet has returned safely, so he can't help but come to see the excitement. I happened to hear that the Overseers were in Qingdao, so I stopped by to pay a visit! (To be continued.) )
