"Your Majesty, let me command and try to fight Masca Port this time. Please help me watch. Swan and I have learned a lot of land warfare techniques... Oh, it would be great if Swan was there. With him, you don't have to worry about landing and fighting." Seeing Hong Tao's guests leaving, compassionately approached quietly, and did not dare to look at the dancers at all, but talked about attacking Masca Port.

"That's what you say, you are the commander of the fleet. Who will command if you don't command it? You say that no one is useless, but you are anxious to die. It's really evil." When Swan mentioned, Hong Tao ran to the American continent again. I don't know how Luo Youde and Swan lived there, and whether they gave birth to a boy or a girl. Compared with that untapped continent, it was boring to live here.

"Hehe... Yes, I'm the commander! Hey, Your Majesty, what do you mean? Why do I sound so wrong?" Mercy was quite proud at the beginning. Whether it was the true commander or the fake commander, he had become the commander once. However, he didn't understand the second half of Hong Tao's words for a while. When he realized that, Hong Tao had already brought a group of dancers into the house.

At the end of January 1244, two Royal Navy warships appeared outside the Port of Hormuz with five cargo ships. The leading warship was very artistic and full of fancy decorations. Hong Tao knew that Bo Jiao had come in person without waiting for the flag whistle of the lookout post. When he sent the ship to Kalamba Port to borrow troops, he forgot to give orders not to let Bo Jiao leave. This guy exploited his negligent loophole.

"Hehe... uncle, I have brought all the best soldiers, all of them veterans who have fought more than one battle!" After seeing Hong Tao, Bo Jiao quickly performed his merits. This place is too close to Kalamba Port, and he was afraid that Hong Tao would really turn against him and bomb him back.

"Even if you bring ten thousand people here, don't think of commanding the battle. It's not that I don't want to let you go, it's him! He is the commander of the fleet. If you have the ability, please let him agree to you to command." Unfortunately, Bo Jiao still underestimated his uncle's thickness. This time, Hong Tao didn't have to be a bad person himself, and directly pressed the shit on Ciqing's head. Ciqing was baring his teeth next to him, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"Oh... Commander of Mercy! The future commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy? Your precious body is definitely not suitable to go to the front line to fight in person. What if there is a three-length and two-shortness in the future, the Royal Navy will be without a leader! What, what if I let the villain go on the battle on your behalf?" Bo Jiao did not even take Kong Pei seriously except Hong Tao. He and Carl were the direct descendants who followed Hong Tao and shot the world with one sword. I heard that Mercy was the commander of the fleet, and the expressions on his face and the words in his mouth immediately became distorted.

"There is no joke on the battlefield. Governor Bo should go back to Kalamba Port to be the local emperor. The Royal Navy is doing this job. Not to mention that I am not the commander-in-chief, even if I really become a man, I still have to go to the battlefield in person. This is what Your Majesty stipulates!" Although Mercy is like a pug in front of Weng Ya, this kid is not a good-looking guy. Not only has he inherited the thickness of Cixi's face, he also learned Hong Tao's hypocritical appearance. He wanted to use words to squeeze him, except for Hong Tao and Weng Ya, Cixi was not a fool.

"......After, boy. Wait!" Bo Jiao made Mercy blush and his neck thick. Even the local emperor came out. Isn't this giving himself eye drops in front of the emperor? Unfortunately, he was helpless with compassion. Now he is the governor of the overseas territory of the Empire. Mercy is the captain of the Royal Fleet, and no one cares about anyone. When he was young, he could not want to be so stupid all day long. Now he is an adult with a family and a career. His friendship was gradually fading away by various interests.

"Hey, you dare to threaten the Imperial officer, you are so brave! No wonder Mercy calls you the local emperor. I think this is a bit of a word." Mercy gave up her face to help her fight against the thunder, and Hong Tao could not stand by her death.

"Uncle, aren't you just taking the wrong hand?" Bo Jiao did not dare to talk back to Hong Tao, so he had to pretend to be pitiful.

"Don't soak mushrooms with me. King Taba has been in poor health in the past two years, and some of his sons are not very stable. At this time, you shouldn't leave Kabaran Port. It's an important fulcrum of the empire. You don't understand this principle. Once there is a problem with Kabara Port, the empire will be very passive! Go back to your ship immediately, take the ten cargo ships in my fleet back, and then send them back to Malacca Port. They still have tasks, so they can't be delayed. You shouldn't mix things up here." Compassion alone is not enough to knock Bo Jiao away. Hong Tao had to go into battle himself. He opened his mouth and left Bo Jiao speechless. He had to get off the ship honestly and organize the cargo ship to return.

"How come you act so selfless today? Could it be said that being a commander will make people sublimate your thoughts?" Bo Jiao left, and Hong Tao began to turn around and extort compassion. The compassionate performance just now was indeed a bit too heartless. In the past, he and Swan and Bo Jiao were friends with good relationships. As a brother a few years older, Bo Jiao often took them to fool around. Now the boat of friendship has overturned as soon as possible, which made Hong Tao very puzzled.

"My father told me that if you want to live long enough, you should stay away from Bojiao and Metini, and don't have too many friends in the Royal Navy, and don't think it's a good thing to be liked by many people. I'm already a father with a family and a son. For them, I can have no friends in my life." Merciful and sad face told Hong Tao about his thoughts.

"You don't listen to your father in the future. He has been in the Song Dynasty for too long and learned something that shouldn't be learned. That set of things will be useful in the Song Dynasty, but it may harm you when you reach the empire. Now go after Bo Jiao, and say that I forced you to say what I just said, don't add a mess of explanations. Bo Jiao knows me very well, and he will believe it. People can't live like your father or live like me in this life. Everything your father and I do now is to make your children live better in the future. If you don't like this kind of life and are patient and depressed all your life, then what's the use of us? You are an adult and your mind is not stupid. While understanding your father, you must also understand the true meaning of every sentence he says."

Hong Tao knew that this was not a thought of compassion for himself. He had never suffered the kind of suffering of Cixi, so he could not become so accidental or so vicious. As expected, there was still the shadow of Cixi here. This guy like a monkey spirit was already considering the problem of Bojiao and Matini's tail, and told Cixi without any concealment. This was a reminder to himself that using compassionate words to express it is better than Cixi himself.

In fact, Cixi's concerns are not groundless. Hong Tao himself has thought of this problem many times. It is okay to say that Kalamba Port is not too far from Luzon Island, and even if something happens, it will not hide it for long. The imperial government can react at any time. But Cape Town is different. What happened there, the speed of information transmission will have to be calculated over the years. If Metini wanted to conceal it deliberately, even if there was surveillance by imperial officials, it would not be 100%.

Once Mettini had a new idea in his mind, when the imperial government realized it, he would have been almost ready. It was possible to send a fleet over such a long distance, but it was impossible to lead a large number of troops over. Cape Town is not an island, its strategic space is very, very large. If the problem cannot be solved in a short time, it is a protracted war, and the empire will be dragged to death.

However, Hong Tao cannot think of a perfect way to solve this problem. Neither Cape Town nor Kalamba Port can perform a governor rotation, at least not now. If this rotation is forcibly carried out, it will seriously affect the stability and development of the two places. Bo Jiao is the son-in-law of the Kingdom of Ceylon, and he has won the recognition of the King of Ceylon and all people here.

The same is true for Metini. He created Cape Town from nothing, and the tribes there only knew Metini. As for who the Empire was and who the Emperor was, would anyone really care? How long does it take to change to a governor to gain the trust of the locals? Whether they can gain their trust is all a big question. Once the new governor cannot handle this problem well, the empire will still face endless wars. (To be continued.)
