Qiu Hui led his clan members to fight against the Qing Dynasty after the Qing government issued a decree to move borders and ban the sea.
When he was at his most glorious, he led troops to capture many coastal state capitals.
He even defeated the Qing soldiers who came to suppress him!
However, later, under Shang Kexi's successful campaign, he had no choice but to withdraw from the mainland and huddled in the trenches.
With the help of Ming Dynasty, he managed to gain a foothold!
Nowadays, Guangdong is undergoing changes, and the Qing court's forces have been expelled from Guangzhou.
Qiu Hui led his people and lived a happy life in Dahao where they had no authority over their heads and no need to face military pressure from the Qing court.
Then, Zhu Hongyu finally remembered the Ming Dynasty's General Dahao, and ordered to summon him.
Facing Zhu Hongyu's summons, Qiu Hui did not dare to delay at all.
After receiving the order, he took his cronies and set off, taking the sea route all the way to Guangzhou.
Qiu Hui dared to raise troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, and even faced the huge military pressure from the Qing court, he would rather die than surrender.
However, when faced with Zhu Hongyu's summons, he did not dare to shirk at all.
Because no matter how strong the Qing army is, they can't reach the sea!
Naturally, there is no threat to Qiu Hui's foundation, which is located in Dahao along the coast.
But the Ming army is different!
The navy of the Ming army is famously powerful!
Neither the Western Yi nor the Qing captives took advantage of the Ming Dynasty's navy.
The Ming army had the ability to directly land in Dahao and teach Qiu Hui a profound lesson!
Besides, the reason why Qiu Hui was able to gain a firm foothold in Dahao attracted anti-Qing heroes from all sides to join him one after another.
Not because he is Qiu Hui!
But because he, Qiu Hui, was the commander-in-chief of Dahao in the Ming Dynasty!
If Qiu Hui wanted to fall out with Ming Dynasty, the first ones to raise a knife to him would probably be his own subordinates.
This is the legacy of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty who "expelled a large number of people and restored China"!
This is the legitimacy and influence of the Ming Dynasty that ruled the world for three hundred years!
Therefore, when Zhu Hongyu came to summon him, Qiu Hui really didn't dare not go.
Qiu Hui took his cronies and children and entered the Pearl River along the waterway.
Looking at the constant traffic of merchant ships on the Pearl River, looking at the forts along the Pearl River.
And the Ming army warships patrolling the middle reaches of the Pearl River, with their tall hulls and countless black holes on their sides.
All of them demonstrate the power of the Ming Dynasty on the water!
"Damn it, the Ming Dynasty Navy is invincible in the world!"
Qiu Hui was a little lucky that he knew who he was. Zhu Hongyu came as soon as he called him, and he didn't let the Ming army's naval guns hit his forehead.
Qiu Hui's daughter on the side also exclaimed.
"Father, that boat is so tall and big!"
When she spoke, she opened her mouth wide and her round face looked a little cute.
Qiu Hui's son is well-informed, unlike his sister who only marvels at the size of the warships of the Ming Navy.
Instead, he spoke.
"Father, these ships are all big ships from Xiyi!"
"Now the Ming Dynasty actually uses the large ships of the Western Yi!"
Qiu Hui nodded slightly and said.
"This is a good thing!"
"The stronger the navy of the Ming Dynasty, the happier we should be!"
"Only when the Ming Dynasty is restored, can our Qiu family have a future!"
"..."
The Qiu family's fleet continued northward and finally arrived at the dock in Guangzhou.
At this time, Guangzhou Wharf is under construction in full swing.
A large number of workers gathered together and were busy with the expansion and repair work of Guangzhou Wharf.
The berths of the pier are filled with countless large and small ships, and more ships are queuing in the water, waiting to berth at the pier.
Every day, Guangzhou Port handles a large amount of goods, bringing huge amounts of tax revenue to the Ming Dynasty.
When the Qiu family's ship arrived at the Guangzhou pier, what they saw was this scene.
In a daze, Qiu Hui felt as if he had seen the former city of Guangzhou!
Prosperous, stable, like paradise on earth!
He never imagined that he would be able to see the city of Guangzhou regain its prosperity in his lifetime.
As the commander-in-chief of Dahao in the Ming Dynasty, Qiu Hui was naturally different from others.
Ordinary ships had to queue up to berth, but as the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, he still had such privileges.
As soon as the flag representing his identity was raised, officials from the port rowed boats and came to meet him!
Clear a way for him and find a suitable berth!
After struggling for a while, Qiu Hui finally stood on the land of Guangzhou Pier.
The officials on the side stepped forward and saluted.
"I have met Mr. Qiu!"
Qiu Hui said with a smile.
"There is so much etiquette here in a certain family. I wonder what the official position of this little brother is?"
The official rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile.
"I am the first-class accompanying secretary of His Royal Highness the Secretariat, Zheng Jing!"
On a big, chubby face, there was a very gentle and formulaic smile.
But when Zheng Jing said these words, Qiu Hui's eyes suddenly widened!
Boy, what did he hear?!
Zheng Jing?!
Zheng Jing, Prince of Yanping?!
He was really shocked. The person sent by His Royal Highness to greet him turned out to be Prince Yeonpyeong!
"Prince Yeonpyeong?"
Qiu Hui couldn't believe it and asked tentatively.
Zheng Jing showed a smile on his face and said.
"Here, I am not Prince Yanping, I am just the first-class secretary accompanying His Highness Jian Guo."
After that, Zheng Jing led the way towards Guangzhou City.
Outside the city of Guangzhou, Qiu Hui saw a large number of people gathering. A high platform was set up in the open space, and there was a faint smell of blood.
Qiu Hui asked.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing over there? Why have so many people gathered?"
Zheng Jing glanced over there, then squinted his eyes and said.
"Stop calling me Prince!"
"Just call me Secretary Zheng!"
"Over there, those Jinyiwei people are killing Qinglu's spies everywhere!"
"A few days ago, Commander Zhou Tianxu of the Jinyi Guards, under the instruction of His Royal Highness the Supervisor of the State, launched Operation Night Breeze to clean up Qing court spies in Guangdong!"
"Dozens of people involved in the case were arrested successively, and nearly a thousand family members of the criminals were implicated..."
Qiu Hui looked shocked when he heard this.
"All these people were killed?"
Although he had heard about Zhu Hongyu's decisive killing before, when he heard that thousands of people had been killed, he still felt frightened.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Jing shook his head and said.
"Of course not. Only less than a hundred people were beheaded. It was used to shock people."
"Most of the rest were sent to labor camps to undergo labor reform!"
Qiu Hui was shocked!
Less than a hundred people!
Good guy, listen, listen, is this human talk?
Although traitors deserve to die, that is more than a hundred human lives!
…
Zhu Hongyu met Qiu Hui in his office, and after ordering tea, Zhu Hongyu spoke.
"General Qiu, long time no see!"
Qiu Hui witnessed Zhu Hongyu's decisive killing outside Guangzhou, and said with a slightly trembling voice.
"The general has finally met His Highness the Supervisor of the Kingdom. May His Highness be blessed and safe!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.
"Haha, the commander-in-chief is so loyal that he took the initiative to come to Guangzhou to meet the orphan. It's so comforting to my lonely heart!"
Qiu Hui said slightly cautiously.
"Your Highness summons you, how dare you not come?!"
