After Ruan Yuan finished explaining the matter of coastal defense, he immediately issued an order that all along the coast should be fortified and clear of fields. Merchant and fishing vessels were not allowed to enter the sea unless the old order was revoked. After that, he returned to Hangzhou, preparing to temporarily transfer some money and food to appease the coastal fishermen. On the way, he also thought of this.

It was already mid-June, when Liu Wenru was giving birth, but she didn't know whether the child would be born safely or whether she could see the child's birth in person.

After finally returning to the Fuyuan that day, Ruan Yuan hurriedly unloaded his luggage and went to Shouhu Hall, where Liu Wenru lived temporarily. A few steps away from the door in front of the hall, he heard the cry of a baby. Ruan Yuan was also happy in his heart, thinking

Seeing that Liu Wenru finally had her own child, she was sincerely happy for her. When she entered the door, she saw Kong Luhua and Xie Xue taking care of Liu Wenru, while Tang Qingyun was holding a newborn baby on the side and singing to him softly.

Everyone was very happy to see Ruan Yuan come back.

"Master is back!" Kong, Xie and Tang's three daughters said happily together.

"Yes, I finally came back to see this child." Ruan Yuan also comforted the girls and looked at the baby in Tang Qingyun's hands. The baby was still crying just now. Seeing Ruan Yuan, he also showed a smile. Ruan Yuan was also happy in his heart and hurriedly followed

Tang Qingyun took the child in his hands and said with a smile: "This child just started crying, and his voice was quite loud. I think he is energetic and will be healthy in the future. It is a boy, right?"

"Yes." Kong Luhua said with a smile: "It's been five days since I was born, and I've been clamoring for milk. It's really not worrying."

"It's been five days?" Ruan Yuan listened, feeling a little apologetic in his heart, and said: "When this child was born, I couldn't be with you. It's my fault. You guys have been taking care of the child these days.

Thanks for your hard work."

"Master's matters are important. Madam, Yuezhuang, and Gu Xia are helping me these days, and my health is fine." After hearing Ruan Yuan's voice, Liu Wenru also sat up from the bed and said to Ruan Yuan: "But

Master, Sanlang doesn't have a formal name yet, Master, let's give him one." It seems that because of Ruan Yuan's temporary absence, no one dared to name the child, so they had to call him Sanlang for a few days.

"Okay, I already have three sons. I...I am also happy." Ruan Yuan also smiled at the girls and said: "Well...since the child in Yuezhuang is called Fu'er, there is a handwriting written by the Holy Ancestor Emperor here.

With the three words "Shou Hu Tang", let's... call this child Ruan Hu. The meaning of the word "Hu" is actually the same as the word "Fu". If this child can grow up safely and happily, I will also... I..." Looking at

Ruan Hu looked so cute, but Ruan Yuan couldn't help but think of the day Jiang Cai passed away. He had sworn to her to keep Liu Wenru safe and happy. Now that Liu Wenru had a child, he had to take care of the child and grow up to be worthy of Jiang Cai.

, I felt a little sad for a moment.

Thinking of the deceased, Ruan Yuan also thought of Hu Zhensheng, thinking that the war was imminent, and he was not sure of victory. But if he devoted himself to official duties, he would feel sorry for the newborn Ruan Hu. It was difficult to balance public and private affairs, and it made him

His eyebrows were deeply furrowed and he was silent for a moment. Kong Luhua looked at her husband's expression, but she had already guessed something about it. She also leaned down and whispered a few words in Liu Wenru's ear.

"Master, if you have official business, you should go and do it first." Liu Wenru was also a person who understood the righteousness well, and comforted Ruan Yuan: "I have them taking care of Hu'er with me these days, and I... I am also very happy.

The clothes prepared for Hu'er at home are sufficient, so Master doesn't have to worry. Besides, when Hu'er grows up, he won't be able to remember these things. Master will be more concerned about him and that will be enough."

"Yes, Master, when you come back this time, you won't have any official business again, right?" Kong Luhua also said to Ruan Yuan.

"When it comes to official matters, there are still a lot of them. Madam, Shuzhi, you...you did the right thing." Ruan Yuan naturally couldn't bear to leave his wife and children. Seeing that both Kong Luhua and Liu Wenru could give in to their official matters, he felt even more uncomfortable.

, had no choice but to comfort everyone and said: "Just wait for me first. If this battle is won, I... I will go and tell Kong Shun and tell him to prepare some more good dishes for you."

"Haha, Master still looks as innocent as ever." Kong Luhua couldn't help laughing and said: "Master will go and do things outside first. We will also take a good look at Hu'er at home. Sister Shu, Hu'er is so cute. We

But I still can’t bear to part with it.”

"Madam, Hu'er has just been born and still needs rest. Eat more and sleep more now to grow faster in the future." Liu Wenru also joked with Kong Luhua.

"Okay sister, I understand. Now we have three children in our family. Yuezhuang and I know better than you how to raise children. You have to be obedient and learn from us so that you can raise Hu'er. Do you understand?

"

Seeing the harmony and joy of the Ruan family girls, Ruan Yuan gradually felt relieved. He said goodbye to his family for the time being and went to the Fuyuan to make arrangements to deal with Cai Qian. As Ruan Yuan and Li Changgeng expected, just more than ten days later, Cai Qian

Dozens of ships under his command immediately appeared on the ocean surface of Zhejiang.

After Cai Qian killed Hu Zhensheng, he gained great momentum at sea. In addition to Zhu Xun and Huang Kui who had followed Cai Qian before, many desperadoes from the turn of Fujian and Guangdong also joined Cai Qian's troops.

Overjoyed, he immediately decided to march north, destroying the Qing army's shipyard in Dinghai Town in one fell swoop, and taking advantage of the fishing market to plunder the Zhejiang Ocean. A pirate fleet of more than 80 ships came in one after another, and Cai Qian married

He led 30 trusted warships and Zhu Xun's troops, and appointed himself as the vanguard to advance northward. However, along the way, because Ruan Yuan urgently issued an order to strengthen the wall and clear the country, there were not many ships. Cai Qian found nothing, so he was a little disappointed.

At this time, the fleet had passed Taizhou and entered Beiyang, Dinghai. Looking at the sea ahead, there seemed to be few ships. She couldn't help asking Cai Qian: "I said Cai Qian, I see that this government has three shipyards in Zhejiang.

There are both Wenzhou and Taizhou, but why don't you set a fire there first and insist on keeping an eye on the shipyard in Dinghai and Beiyang?"

"Mom, these three shipyards are different." Cai Qian sneered: "The largest shipyard in the government is in Beiyang, Dinghai. The other two, even if I burn them down, as long as this shipyard is here, they can still repair it.

Ship. But if the shipyard in Dinghai is destroyed by me... hum, at least within three years, the government will not be able to breathe at sea!"

"It's just that our journey north seems a little too smooth." Grandma Lu said: "There is not even a government fleet to stop us along the way. Even if Hu Zhensheng dies, Wenzhou President should have a temporary successor.

Soldiers? Where's Huangyan Town? It's not like Ruan Yuan and Li Changgeng's style to hand over hundreds of miles of sea routes to us like this?"

"Haha, do you think they are willing to give up this sea route?" Cai Qian looked in front of him. Although several mountain islands gradually appeared, they did not look like there was another government fleet, and he felt a lot more relaxed, and said:

"What is Hu Zhensheng going south for this time? It is to transport wood from Fujian. The government has a rule that warships are repaired once every three years and once every six years. Their 'Ting Ship' was built three years ago, so they

What should we do? Is it time to repair the ship? Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for Li Changgeng to bring a large number of warships that may leak at any time to fight. But this ship repairing matter will not take more than a month according to common sense.

It may be completed. It has only been twenty-one days since Hu Zhensheng's death. How can their ships go to sea? The general is on the run and the warships are being repaired at the back. Tell me, where is the government still able to send troops to compete with us?

Resist?"

"That's true, but this Ruan Yuan is really just a hypocrite. He usually talks about being lenient with the government and caring for the people, but in the end, he also issued an order to strengthen the walls and clean up the wilderness?" Grandma Lu sneered: "If he dares to do this, we will kill Zhejiang

The ocean has stirred up chaos, making these merchants and fishermen unable to go out to sea today, and they will not be able to go out tomorrow and the day after that. When the time comes, they will starve to death on land, so that they can see what the nature of these dog officials is!"

"Mom, this is a great plan!" Cai Qian couldn't help but agree: "Right now, we have more than 80 ships all over Fujian and Zhejiang. Ruan Yuanguang is building walls and clearing out the wilderness in Zhejiang, but it's useless! Let's just eat in Fujian.

While drinking, come to Zhejiang twice, and they will never dare to come out! In two days, we will burn down their shipyard again. If they want to fight us, they will not have the qualifications. Haha, Ruan Yuan, just be honest
Chapter completed!
