The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 609
The Huang family is known for its strength. The civil servants and military generals in the system have long only recognized the patriarch and not the court. The Hainan spy chief Lu Xiuke has no obstacles in his mind to deal with the factory guards.

Huang Sheng has already decided not to go to the capital, and now he is not worried that Emperor Chongzhen will send troops to deal with him after his strength is exposed.

Because the imperial court has long had no decent navy to adjust, and there is no capability for naval warfare at all. Attacking Hainan Island may only be a dream.

Huang Sheng didn't need to turn against the court now, he just arranged for Lu Xiuke to monitor the actions of the factory guard spies, and recorded the officials at all levels in Hainan Island that these people came into contact with so that he knew it well, and there was no need to startle the snake.

On December [-], the sixth year of Chongzhen, a grand ceremony was held in Yazhou, Hainan Island.

Xu Guangqi, the elder of the pavilion, read out the imperial decree. Huang Shengjin, the king of Qiongya County, the Duke of Nanguo, came to watch the ceremony. There were five or six hundred people from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian.

Regardless of whether the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty came to inquire about the truth or not, Huang Sheng entertained everyone generously, and did not treat Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanwei differently, showing the tolerance of the Huang family system.

The ornately decorated Yazhou Grand Theater is performing dramas every day. The Yazhou post house facing the sea is of course full. Most of the officials of the Huang family system live in the private houses of their comrades. There is no way, too many guests come at once. The reception capacity of the Yazhou post house has been tested.

The officials from the Ming Dynasty who came to congratulate and watch the ceremony tacitly did not talk about state affairs, only talked about the wind and snow, and only talked about the scenery of Yazhou.

Chu'er, who is already a princess, will of course receive the wives who follow her well. She takes a large group of women to travel, listen to music, and watch operas.

Lan Cai'er was even more busy than her hands. She was born as a top courtesan, she was very handy in welcoming and sending off, and received all the guests happily.

Gu Ling'er obediently followed the old woman to help her out and never showed herself, willing to be a green leaf to bring out the demeanor of Princess Zhang Chuer.

He Xiang was obviously not used to such an occasion, Huang Sheng thoughtfully took her by his side and continued to serve as the confidential secretary. Now that Huang Sheng's secretary has a team, He Xiang should belong to the role of secretary-general.

Scientist Xu Guangqi was accompanied by his apprentice Sun Yuanhua for more than ten days. During the time waiting for Nan Guogong to return home, Sun Yuanhua took his mentor to visit many factories, and they also went to Yazhou Cathedral to celebrate mass.

Xu Guangqi has fallen in love with Hainan Island and Yazhou. The sunny weather, the golden sandy beach, and the vibrancy here all amaze this scientist who wants to change Ming Dynasty.

The leader of Jinyiwei is a real-time employee of Qianhu from Beizhen Fusi, and a big stall from Dongchang. After more than ten days of unannounced visits, the two of them were stunned. After the subordinates sent to various places in Hainan Island came back to report the situation, they made them even more shocked. at a loss.

Because they saw an incomprehensible situation, the ordinary residents of Hainan Island blatantly walked through the city with weapons. Some people actually carried firearms.

The spies from Dongchang and Jinyiwei discovered that most of the people shooting guns and firing guns in the shooting range were ordinary people. After inquiring, it turned out that this was a martial arts arena specially built for ordinary people, and at most only junior Xiangyong trained here.

The army's martial arts arena has a higher standard, and the training of the Huang family's main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers will not be casually visited. Even the training subjects of intermediate and senior township bravery are military secrets.

The chiefs of Ming's secret agents looked at each other in blank dismay. Those ordinary people who fired guns and blasted guns in the civil martial arts arena were more powerful in combat. I am afraid that on the battlefield, the Ming's frontier army might not be able to defeat them. There are no less than ten ordinary people like this on Hainan Island. Ten thousand.

How many other mysterious soldiers does King Qiongya have?Who can shake his strength?
The secret service leaders were frightened, and issued an order not to allow people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang to cause trouble on Hainan Island, as long as they returned to the capital safely, they should report what they saw and heard to the factory official and the commander of the guard.

The spy leader is very sensible, knowing that the actions of King Qiongya are out of their control, as long as they complete the investigation mission, it is obviously unrealistic to want to make trouble here.

Before the end of the year, the missions who came to declare the decree returned happily, and the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty who came to congratulate them also returned one after another. All of them got souvenirs, which were a set of beautifully packaged goblet glasses.

Because civil and military officials from Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian all came to congratulate them with expensive gifts, they can't just send them away with a souvenir, and the King of Qiongya County will give them back gifts one by one.

The adults who came to congratulate them thought that the trip was worthwhile. They saw the amazing scenery of Yazhou, and they were quite satisfied with the warm hospitality of Huang Jiawen and Wu.

This is a pocket watch carefully crafted by the craftsmen of the Huang family. The bracelet and case are all made of gold.

Everything is so harmonious, the only thing that is not perfect is that it is making Xu Guangqige old and sick, unable to bear the fatigue of the journey again.

The King of Qiongya County asked him to stay in the Yazhou Sanatorium to recover from his illness, and sent a boat to Songjiang Mansion to pick up Xu Guangqi's family members, just in case Xu Ge's condition deteriorated and he could not see his family for the last time.

The deputy envoy didn't dare to have any objection, human life is at stake, if Mr. Xu Ge dragged his sick body for a long distance and had trouble on the road because of his babbling, his own crime would be serious.

He stated that he must play to the emperor to clarify the current situation of Xu Ge, and trouble the king of Qiongya County to take care of Mr. Xu.

Lan Shangyi happily accompanied the mission back to the capital. She would beg for Zhao Rui, He Xiang, and Gu Ling'er to sue the imperial court for the side concubine. Of course, she brought valuable gifts. The most eye-catching one was Jiu A fine pocket watch in solid gold set with precious stones.

Xu Guangqi is in good health. This is because Huang Sheng advised him to pretend to be sick and not go back after revealing that after he left the court and planned to spend the rest of his life teaching and educating people in Yazhou.

Xu Guangqi has a church in Yazhou where he can worship, and he has many topics to study. As a native of Shanghai, he is not used to the climate of the capital, but he likes the warmth of Yazhou.

Being slightly bewitched by Huang Sheng, Mr. Xu Ge was tricked into boarding a pirate ship, pretending to be sick and staying behind to teach and educate people for scientific research.

Since Hainan Island has temporarily become its own territory, there were as few as 100 scholar-bureaucrats who served as officials here three years ago. Counting their families, there are thousands of people who are now living together in "Huaxia Island", working and studying every day.It's time to let these Ming officials go home.

The imperial court believed that these people died of robbery by the pirate Guo Huaiyi, and so should their relatives.
