In June, the Eurasian Canal flows like fire, and the rolling heat waves are free to the wasteland with a faint salty smell. It is best to hide in the house or simply build a pergola outside to cool off.

However, Asia-Africa Port in the Ming Dynasty was crowded with people and extremely lively.

With the opening of the canal, more and more merchant ships choose the Eurasian Canal as a way to travel. Although the Eurasian Canal still charges, compared with the detour of the Cape of Good Hope, this fee is less than half. More importantly, it can save more than half of the time. Even merchant ships from various countries of the Anti-Habsburg Union gradually gave up the detour and went straight to the Eurasian Canal.

Regarding this, the Ming Empire, Spain and Portugal were all very open-minded. The construction of the canal was not only for its own convenience, but also for making money. Someone came to give it away, so why not collect it?

Therefore, none of the three countries prohibited the passage of merchant ships from any country. However, all merchant ships from the Habsburg Alliance of the Ming Dynasty only charge general fees, so that merchants from the alliance countries will be more competitive.

Qin Gongming stood on the top of a bastion and slowly glanced at the scene in front of him with a telescope. He could finally go back to Daming and finally see his younger brother, sister and his newborn nephew. He was happy and expectant in his heart, but more of it was reluctance and pain.

This reluctance is understandable. After all, the Eurasian Canal was slowly built under his guard, but why did he feel pain in his heart?

The reason why he felt so distressed was that the Taifu Sun Chengzong passed away. Before the transfer order arrived, he received news of the Taifu's death.

Qin Gongming can also be said to be a general of the Liaodong group. His Dingliao Army was formed in Liaodong. When he remembered Sun Chengzong's guidance and tips on him during the battle in Liaodong, his heart hurt like a needle.

Just as he was scanning the scene on the canal with complex mood, a huge fleet appeared on the sea in the distance, leading to a huge treasure ship warship, hanging on it was the sun, moon, dragon flag of the Ming Empire.

Finally came, Qin Gongming immediately ordered: "Sentence, everyone gathered on the spot and prepared to hand over the defense."

The personal guards scattered orders, and dense gathering orders quickly rang out on both sides of the canal. Merchants from all over the port, sailors on merchants on merchant ships, and even coolies who were moving goods stopped and looked around nervously.

What is the Ming army doing? Why did it suddenly start to assemble? Could it be that the enemy invaded?

However, they were all relieved soon, because the warships of the Ming Empire appeared on the sea, and no one knew the Sun, Moon, Dragon Flag. It seemed that they were preparing to welcome their comrades.

Sure enough, Qin Gongming, the general of the Ming Empire Army, soon appeared at the port. Behind him were the neatly arranged Ming troops. He knew at a glance that he was preparing to welcome someone, but the identity of the person coming should not be higher than that of him, because the port did not have colorful flags or anything else, and everything was the same as usual.

Soon, the treasure ship giant ship sailed into the port and docked on the dock. It was the wharf where Qin Gongming was located. This wharf is also the largest wharf in Asia and Africa Port. Only this wharf can dock the treasure ship giant ship.

As soon as the hanging ladder of the treasure ship was put down, teams of Ming soldiers ran down from the ship quickly. Those who followed them were Zheng Xing, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet and Li Mingfu, the commander of the Wuwei Army.

When his personal guards gathered, Li Mingfu immediately took the personal guard formation and took a stance to the opposite Qin Gongming.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped forward, gave a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Wuwei Army Commander and Army Samsung General Li Mingfu was ordered to come and receive the Eurasian Canal defense."

Qin Gongming solemnly replied to a standard military salute, and then said loudly: "Chief of the Dingliao Army, the four-star general of the Army, Qin Gongming, was ordered to hand over the Eurasian Canal defense, please accept it."

After the solemn handover ceremony was completed, Qin Gongming immediately patted Li Mingfu on the shoulder and said, "Mingfu, it's been a long time since I've seen you. Let's take you to learn about the defense here."

At this time, Zheng Xing also came over. The three of them were talking and laughing around the port, the fortress and the fort, and the defenses of the Dingliao Army and the Wuwei Army were almost in the same way.

About an hour later, the three of them returned to the port terminal together. At this time, the Wuwei army had all disembarked and the Dingliao army was boarding the ship.

Teams of soldiers, one war horse, ran quickly onto the warships, one cannon, and one box of supplies, were also quickly hung onto the warships. After about an hour and a half, the Dingliao Army basically boarded the warships, and the treasure ship giant ship returned to the dock.

Qin Gongming and Zheng Xing bid farewell to Li Mingfu and took their personal guards to board the treasure ship. Then, the treasure ship ship slowly left the port. Even if the handover was over, it took less than half a day, and even the Dingliao army on the Dakuhu Lake completed the handover and came by the warship.

After all the warships gathered, the South China Sea Fleet lined up in an orderly formation and began to return.

At noon on the third day, the South China Sea Fleet arrived at the Port of Mumbai in the west of South Asia. Qin Gongming led the Dingliao army to leave the ship and landed on the shore and rushed to the local railway station.

There, twenty newest trains have already been parked.

With the development of technology, the power of trains in the Ming Dynasty has become stronger and stronger. Now there are more than ten cars behind a locomotive, at least twenty cars. For example, the latest steam-powered train parked at Mumbai Station has twenty-five cars behind it!

In other words, a train can carry almost five thousand people and twenty trains, and can carry 100,000 Dingliao troops!

When they arrived at Mumbai Station, the Dingliao army quickly boarded the train and rushed all the way to the north of the Ming Dynasty.

Nine days later, the train arrived at the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Qin Gongming took one hundred personal guards off the train, while the Dingliao army rushed to Zhenzhenhe guards all the way.

This is a special benefit for Zhu Cijing, because he hasn't seen his sister, Qin Mingyue, the empress of the dynasty, and has never seen Prince Zhu Hetai. Therefore, Zhu Cijing asked him to get off in the capital and reunite with the queen.

The same treatment was given to him were Qin Yiming, the commander of the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Army, and Ma Xianglin, the commander of the Second Legion of the Border Defense Army. They were also the brothers of the Queen Qin Mingyue, but one was his biological brother and the other was his cousin.

Qin Gongming arrived the latest because Qin Yiming boarded the train near Delhi, and walked two or three days earlier than him, and Ma Xianglin was directly picked up by the East China Sea Fleet to Dongdaying. It took less than five days in total.

After Qin Gongming arrived in the capital, the queen Qin Mingyue specially held a banquet in Kunning Palace and warmly received her elder brother. Of course, Qin Yiming and Ma Xianglin were also indispensable, and even their younger brother Qin Weimin was invited.
