399. Sincere Explanation
Hello, book lovers, starting from this section, "The Sorrow of the Ming Sea" will enter the fourth chapter "The Sorrow of the Ming Sea" and will also usher in the title of this book. So please relive that sad and regretful history with the cup.
Once the plan to leave Europe and return to the Ming Dynasty was finalized, it immediately shocked the management. The strongest reaction was Wu Xuan. He almost jumped and shouted to go back together. I understand that he wanted to see his parents and grandfather.
Of course, I also know that in order to avoid the "big task" of letting him manage his business in Europe and America, he acted as if he would not follow him if he did not let him go back with him.
Naturally, I could only shake my head and smile bitterly, so I could only arrange for Youxi and Griska to stay in Europe - it is said that Youxi had accepted Griska's love, and the two were already together, but the wedding had not been officially held yet.
Chen Kui was also kept by me. I hope he can use his deep experience to help Youxi and Griska. This is something that others cannot do.
To put it this way, I have only two fleets left in Europe. I always feel that it is not enough. I can only allocate them far-reaching ships and funds, so that even if there is any situation, it will be enough to deal with it.
There were three fleets back to the Ming Dynasty - Buhui walked in front with a mobile fleet, followed by my main fleet, and finally the third fleet of Adicen. The reason why three fleets were chosen was to deal with various situations, facilitate alternate cover and advance together.
Because I wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty, I needed a staff officer who was familiar with the situation, so I transferred Lakshen back to my side and arranged for Old Tucker to help Buhui. By the way, I also put Qinglian Yuhe who was jumping and making noise to go back to see him on his boat to take care of his daily life.
In this way, a fleet of up to thirty warships set off one after another and left the Port of London.
This is very rare in the post-war port of London. Everyone is trying to cultivate and rest, and there are few such large-scale mobilizations.
So people know it - this is the sign that the famous Duke of America left London. As for what I am going to do, no one knows.
In terms of route selection, we have two routes, north and south. Logically speaking, the northern route is less disturbing and should be faster, but objectively speaking, taking the northern route is not a very wise choice.
The beginning of autumn is about to look at the time. If you take the northern route, you will most likely encounter continuous blizzards. In addition, most of the northern territory belonging to the modern Russian country is still barren, which leads to the reality that the fault tolerance rate of the northern route is too low in this situation.
So we finally chose the southern route - this may encounter some obstacles, but compared to the unfathomable weather in the north, these are all areas that can be controlled.
It set sail, and our fleet set off for half a day after Wu Rong, sailed out of the Thames and turned into the English Channel.
When I came back to the battlefield, I felt a lot of emotion. As a serious modern person, being able to experience this war that changes the world pattern personally will create irrepressible excitement and excitement.
I stood at the bow of the boat, leaning on the railings with both hands, looking into the distance. The British ports in the north were in full swing, while France and Belgium in the south were relatively inferior. This was also caused by their different development conditions.
Looking at the two seagulls on the sea surface, a gentle footsteps suddenly came from behind.
I know without looking back that this is Huamei. Since she left last time, we have been separated for many years. I was a little resentful to her, but when she brought back the actual situation of Governor Qi and the Ming Dynasty, I no longer resented her.
"Qi Lan." Huamei walked to me, leaned on the railing like me, and called me softly.
"Hmm?" I replied softly.
"I'm really happy to see you! Do you know?" Huamei looked at my side face, continued to look forward, muttering to herself.
"At that time, I was in Africa and I heard that Britain and Spain had a large-scale war, and you joined the British camp as the main force, so I threw down the baggage ship behind me and rushed over with the unified clutch, just to support you."
"When I passed by Lisbon, I saw a large number of warships retreating from the north, one by one, and I expected that Britain might win. But I was still worried - worried about your safety!"
"After all, judging from the situation of Spanish warships, Britain will win miserably even if it wins. The more I worry that you will be hurt by fighting too hard for revenge! So I rushed over desperately until I saw you, and I felt completely relieved."
Speaking of this, Huamei let out a long sigh. She seemed to be very relaxed. She turned around and leaned her back against the handrail. Her arms were curled up from the body and placed on the handrail.
When I heard this, I felt warm in my heart, and looked at Huamei and smiled and said, "Actually, what can happen to me? A good person will not live long and will last for thousands of years. Don't worry about me!"
"Puchi!" Huamei couldn't help laughing when she heard what I said: "Who says she is a disaster? You guy is still so inappropriate, just like when we first met!"
When I first met, I seemed to have been involved in the magic of the soul, looking blankly into the distance.
At that time, she was the daughter of the Minister of War, a famous young man in the capital. And I was a young man with outstanding military achievements and nostalgia.
A series of words that describe a beautiful marriage are not too much to use when used in us.
Sometimes I also wonder where Huamei touched me the most?
After thinking about it, I finally realized that what attracted me the most was her temperament. Unlike traditional Chinese women who adhere to the rigor of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, her behavior is more like a modern person, which makes me feel particularly friendly.
Of course, from this perspective alone, Yoohee seems to have a more modern feel. But unfortunately, I can no longer hold her in my heart, so I can only push her away silently.
Looking at Huamei, I couldn't help but sigh. If life was just like the first meeting, why would the autumn wind be sad about painting a fan? Alas, I'm so ashamed to stop talking!
Huamei also sighed lightly with me and said softly again: "Qi Lan, I know you blame me for leaving twice, and blame me for indirectly causing Yuan's injury..."
I interrupted her and said, "No, Yuan's injury is blamed on the Spaniards, not on you, and I have already taken revenge."
Huamei smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "You asked me to finish it! Qi Lan. The reason why I left is entirely because I love you! I love you too much and cannot accept the existence of others! Do you understand?"
I looked at Huamei and nodded gently.
Hua Mei smiled bitterly again: "I also know that any men are not three wives and four concubines. I also advised myself to take it easy. But... but I am really depressed - I can't convince myself, so I can only leave, otherwise I will be crazy!"
In the end, her voice was extremely suppressed and heavy. I know that this is her true words, the most sincere words!
I was about to speak, but Huamei let out a long sigh, turned around and kept in the same direction as me, and whispered: "As I left, I have been asking myself, can I leave you? Do you still love you?"
As she said that, she looked at me, and I couldn't help but look at her.
Huamei's eyes were slightly red and her lips were trembling slightly. She pursed her lips and continued, "I can't deceive myself, so I'm back! If...If..."
She took a deep breath, changed her tone and said in a casual tone: "I'm just coming back to verify your ideas. If you think I hate it, think I'm redundant, or don't love me anymore, please tell me and I'll leave myself!"
Speaking of this, Huamei seemed to be unable to suppress her emotions anymore, and tears burst out from her eyes! Then she turned around and wanted to leave, wiped her tears from an angle I couldn't see.
My heart seemed to be tugged up all of a sudden! Yes, the first time she left had serious consequences, but it was reasonable. The second time she left... According to what she said today, it is completely understandable. After all, people have selfish intentions...
But no matter what, can I feel her sincere love for me - crossing half of the earth to come to me, is there any more certain evidence than this???
And after all, it was because I had an engagement with her first. I chose someone else without having to terminate the engagement. Although there were sufficient reasons, I still blamed her to a certain extent, right?
I really can't figure out who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong. But now Yin Ren cries with the pear blossoms and rain, but I can't stay indifferent.
Thinking of this, I reached out and grabbed Huamei's right wrist and shouted softly: "Huamei!"
She struggled for a while, but she didn't break free. As I pulled it hard, Huamei turned around and threw herself into my arms.
I hugged her gently, and Huamei seemed to release all the grievances in her heart, burst into tears!
I patted her spine gently and comforted her softly: "Okay, okay! It's all over, don't cry!"
Huamei cried even louder! Many people looked at this side with a thief, thinking that the captain's fun was rare, and it would be a waste of time to watch it.
I turned my head and glared at them. Everyone immediately turned their heads, as if they were doing their own work, not caring about this place at all. But what they were doing, and they could only see the fact that they were paddling from the absent-minded movements.
I shook my head helplessly and continued to comfort Huamei in my arms. Perhaps many people were watching the fun, and Huamei gradually stopped crying and turned into soft sobs.
I patted her back gently and said softly: "It's noon, let's go eat something together."
Huamei shook her head and said, "I don't want to eat." But she drew her head deeper into my arms, like a little raccoon.
I smacked my lips and said temptingly: "I recently hired a new chef. The steak I made is very delicious. Do you really not eat it?"
Huamei's voice came from my arms: "I want to eat two servings!"
I couldn't help but laugh: "Is it okay to be full and sufficient?"
Huamei's voice came from her arms again: "Okay! I want to drink red wine."
I sneered and said, "There is not much more on this boat, there is just a lot of red wine. Where are you walking!"
Huamei arched in my arms and said, "I cried for a long time, how can I eat after spending makeup?"
I curled my lips helplessly and said, "The most beautiful without makeup! The most beautiful without makeup!"
Huamei burst into tears and laughed, and I could only shake my head helplessly.
She mixed my arms and said, "Let's go! You said you're full and enough." I could only shake my head and walk to the captain's room with her.
My mood is indescribable, as if it is lost and gained, as if it is a shame in my heart, in short, it is very complicated.
Chapter completed!
