Lao Hu is dead.

He was born in the Iron Knife Sect of Huzhou. He started his army at the age of 18 and became the top master in using hidden weapons.

When he was nineteen years old, he met the old chief assistant Yang Tinghe. Yang Tinghe raised him to the Jinyiwei and placed him in the Cao Gang as an internal supporter.

Later, he left the Cao Gang and returned to Beijing. He was appreciated by the young Emperor Jiajing and became the shadow commander who was placed in the Jinyiwei by Emperor Jiajing.

He has done good things and bad things in his life. But everything he does is for the country and country of Ming Dynasty.

In the end, he died in a pile of aged wines, which was a good destination.

The wine immortal returns to his position, and the loyal soul ascends to heaven.

Seven days later, Lao Hu was buried.

Emperor Longqing posthumously awarded the title of commander of the Jinyiwei, General Fengguo. Lao Hu was wearing the official uniform of the Jinyiwei commander and lay quietly in the coffin.

He Liu glanced at Lao Hu for the last time and silently said in his heart: Lao Hu, my Master Hu, go all the way!

Then, He Liu, Feng Bao, Li Gao and He Er worked together to cover the coffin lid.

The funeral procession slowly walked to the suburbs. He Liu, Feng Bao and Li Gao were playing banners in front of the coffin.

The old brothers of the Jinyiwei were all wearing mourning clothes. Nine people from the original Thirteenth Taibao walked forward together, carrying the coffin.

He Liu's son He Shizhong was the legitimate grandson of Lao Hu, holding a stack of paper money in his hand, and spilling the paper money into the sky while walking.

Feng Bao walked forward while crying. In Hangzhou, Lao Hu saved his life, and the name "Feng Bao" was given to him by Lao Hu. Later, Lao Hu and He Liutuo sent him to Prince Yu's Mansion. This is why the current Sili Supervisor and Dongchang Governor Feng Bao.

Feng Bao will never forget the roast chicken that Lao Hu ate for him. It was the first whole roast chicken he ate in his life.

But He Liu was thinking about the cases he and Lao Hu had handled over the past 20 or 30 years. If it weren't for Lao Hu's assistance, he might have been dead ten times!

The uncle Li Gao was also extremely sad. He murmured: "My master, you haven't taught me the peerless martial arts in the Sunflower Book yet! You always keep your word, why did you leave just by saying that?"

Lao Hu's Jiyuan was chosen on a mound in the eastern suburbs of the capital. This is a scenic place. Looking down from the mound, there are endless grass and wild flowers.

Yin Shidan, Minister of Rites, personally served as the funeral singing officer. Logically speaking, the Minister of Rites only served as the funeral singing officer when the emperor and the empress dowager passed away. Yin Shidan admired Lao Hu's lifelong character and offered to him to sing the funeral himself.

"Fallen son, kneel down and send the longevity to the lucky one!"

He Liu, Li Gao and Feng Bao knelt down and kowtowed.

Lao Hu had no children in his life, He Liu, Li Gao, and Feng Bao were like his own sons.

"Xiansun, kneel down and send the lucky longevity to the old man!"

The chubby little Zhonger sticks out her little butt and respectfully kowtows to Lao Hu's coffin. While kowtowing, he sobbs: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Twenty strong men from the Fujiu Team of the Jinyiwei Nanzhen Fushi sang guns into the sky again. A group of old brothers from the Jinyiwei filled the soil for Lao Hu's tomb.

Yin Shidan sang: "The funeral is completed! The blessed man, return to heaven!"

A crowd gathered in front of the grave and cried bitterly.

Before leaving the cemetery, He Liu poured half a pot of Xiliang wine that Lao Hu had not finished drinking on the cemetery. He comforted himself: People have birth, old age, sickness and death. When Lao Hu left, he was free from illness, disaster, no pain, and only good wines were his companion, which was considered a joyful and joyful delight.

He said that, Lao Hu left, He Liu's family was immersed in grief for more than half a month.

Half a month later, a guest came to the Heliu family.

The brave navigator, explorer, Lord Tina, Lord Utrecht.

In the first year of Longqing, the imperial court opened the sea ban. Tina purchased a large number of goods from the Ming Dynasty, first returned to Europe, and then sailed for Latin America. It happened to be the case that in order to break away from the control of the Spanish royal family, the Utrecht Alliance established the Dutch Republic from four union provinces.

Since ancient times, any new country has been established on the basis of war.

War broke out between Spain and the rebirth of the Dutch Republic. Tina fought against the Spanish fleet in Latin America for a year with two warships.

Later, the Spanish royal family announced a truce, and Tina was able to withdraw from Latin America and come to the Ming Dynasty.

It’s a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. A big banquet was held in the He Mansion to entertain this guest from thousands of miles away.

At the banquet, Bai Xiaoyan complained: "Sister Tina, didn't you say that you would come back to see me within one and a half years? Why did you have been there for almost three years?"

Tina said: "Because a war broke out between my motherland and Spain. As the baroness of my motherland, I naturally have the obligation to participate in this war."

He Liu asked curiously: "Didn't you say before that Ya Kingdom is your sect leader's country? It's similar to the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Ryukyu."

Tina said: "If you, the Ming Dynasty, imposed nearly 60% of heavy commercial taxes on Ryukyu, do you think it is reasonable?"

He Liudao: "Of course it's not reasonable."

Tina nodded: "This is why we Dutch and the Spanish fight! We Dutch risked our lives to voyage and explore the colony we exchanged for, but we have to give 60% of the proceeds to those Spanish men. In this war, we are just fighting for freedom and equality."

He Liu asked: "Collection? What is a colony?"

Tina replied, "It is to go to a distant place, conquer the locals with force, and occupy new territory."

He Liu shook his head: "Isn't this a powerful military force? Our Ming Dynasty has always been a country of etiquette. We never prospered unjust soldiers."

Tina looked at He Liu with surprise: "I have never understood. Your country is strong and the strength of the navy is not even weaker than that of Spain. Why not colonize? In this world, the strong prey on the weak. There is no etiquette to talk about with the barbarians. Our Dutch Republic has established a new East India Company, and I am also one of the shareholders. The East India Company has about 130 warships and 20,000 soldiers. It is specially used to conquer those barbarians."

The more He Liu listened, the more confused he became: "Company? What is that?"

Tina said: "It means the business."

He Liu laughed with a "puchi" sound: "Your country is really interesting. The business company has the army? Isn't this a crime of trouble?"

Tina explained: "The East India Company formed its own army with the authorization of the Parliament of the Dutch Republic. Without an army, how can the East India Company colonize and make a profit?"

He Liudao: "It's really different that I don't want to plot against you. According to you, our Ming Dynasty should be on guard against your country. Your country will invade the territory of our Ming Dynasty like Japanese pirates."

Tina smiled and said, "No. The strength of the Netherlands is far less than that of your country, and she will never have the idea of ​​attacking your country."

He Liu fought against each other: "According to your opinion, if one day the strength of your country is higher than that of the Ming Dynasty, will the unjust soldiers invade our Ming Dynasty without hesitation?"

Seeing that He Liu and Tina were getting along, Bai Xiaoyan quickly started to smooth things over: "By the way, Sister Tina. I have always wanted to ask you, are you married? What kind of person is your brother-in-law?"

Tina smiled and replied: "Two years ago, I married a brave Dutch Rear Admiral. Under the thirty-two-pound shells flying across the Caribbean Sea, I gave birth to a child. The name is Suba, which means the brave."

Bai Xiaoyan said in surprise: "Su Ba? This is such a strange name."

Tina smiled and said, "The meaning of this name is very good. I have even thought of the name of my future grandson. If my son gives birth to a grandson for me, it will be called Kiichi, who means explorer."

Bai Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue: "You Westerners are so weird. You just gave birth to a son, so she gave her grandson a name."

Decades later, Tina's grandson Kuiyi led the colonial army of the Dutch East India Company to invade the treasure island of the Ming Dynasty and proclaimed himself the governor of the treasure island. The national hero Zheng Chenggong led the Ming Dynasty's navy to cross the sea to the Kinmen and Xiamen to cross the sea for an expedition, defeat Kuiyi, and regain the treasure island that has been China's territory since ancient times. He Liu's great-grandson sacrificed his life for the country in the Battle of Keelung Port.

Things in the world are always so unpredictable.
