Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1703, a completely different life
"Hongkong!"

Tang Bohu looked at the bustling port in front of him, and he could clearly see that it was full of exotic customs.

Although the construction of the port, the style of high-rise buildings and the houses of the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion halfway up the mountain, etc., all of them show that this is a colony of Ming Dynasty.

But you can still see a strong European taste.

A large number of houses are still built in the style of Christianity here, and you can also see a large number of European-style ships coming in and out of the port here, and the flags hanging are also colorful.

On the way, Tang Bohu had already learned about Hong Kong in detail, knew its origin, and knew its important position.

This is the only colony of Ming Dynasty in Western Europe. It was ceded from the hands of King Henry VII of England. Although the area is not large, it is just a big place, but it is very important.

Here the Ming Empire has a 1.5-strong army garrison, which is the most powerful military force of the Ming Dynasty in Western Europe. At the same time, there is also a navy with a size of [-] people and more than [-] large and small warships. It is also the most powerful sea force in Western Europe, and it is also an important force for Ming to maintain its interests in Western Europe.

Even though Hong Kong is small, it is an important core of Ming's trade with Western Europe. Now Hong Kong can receive more than 2000 million taels of tax money a year, and the growth is extremely terrifying. It is already an extremely important tax point for Ming. , even more tax money than many cities in China.

Such a place is crucial to Ming's interests in Europe, and it must not be lost. Therefore, the Ming Empire has always been strengthening its control and rule over Hong Kong.

Hong Kong in Western Europe and the West Sea Islands in the Mediterranean constitute the two most important colonies of Ming Dynasty in Europe, and they are also the two most important military powers of Ming Dynasty in Europe.

Each has a powerful army and navy to safeguard Ming's interests in Europe.

To be honest, Tang Bohu himself did not expect that he would become the governor of Hong Kong one day. He was originally the magistrate of Nanyun Province, and he vigorously promoted and popularized Ming Dynasty education in Nanyun Province. As a result, he was directly promoted to Hong Kong has come to be the governor.

"The current Europe is comparable to peace. It is a heavy burden to rely on Hong Kong to protect the interests of Ming Dynasty."

Tang Bohu only felt the pressure on his shoulders.

In history, because Tang Bohu was caught in a scientific research case, he was never an official and could only be a petty official. Coupled with the huge changes in his family background, he also indulged in sensuality.

I don't want to be a petty official, but I always write some depressed poems and articles. It seems to be very chic and free and easy, but it is actually unwillingness in my heart.

He used to be young and frivolous, arrogant and arrogant.

Now because of Liu Jin, a time traveler, his official career is going smoothly. However, after he became an official, he gradually understood more things. Everything he learned did not make much contribution to the governance of the country.

More than ten years of official career also made him understand that being an official is definitely not an easy task, especially when you want to make a difference, it is even more difficult.

He has a full understanding of Hong Kong, the importance and status of Hong Kong, and the current situation in Europe. He is also very clear about the responsibilities he has to shoulder, and he feels great pressure.

'Black Dragon' slowly docked on the pier.

Jiang Liang, Deng Yong, Xiong Han, Andre, Liu Ping, Li Ou and others also stepped forward to greet them.

"Welcome Master Tang to Hong Kong!"

Jiang Liang said with a smile all over his face.

Although I have been promoted to a third-rank official, but I am not a serious Jinshi, and I guess it will be almost over in the future.

I was able to become the governor of Hong Kong because of a historical accident. At that time, Hong Kong had just been brought under the rule of Ming Dynasty, and Lord Du Mingen Duhou was going back to Ming Dynasty, so I was temporarily appointed.

In addition, the information was not smooth at that time, there was no telegram, and it was settled before it was reported to the court. After many years of doing this, it became a governor.

But this is only a special case. Under normal circumstances, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are all from the imperial examinations. My own situation is similar to that of the army, so I can be regarded as a military officer.

It will be impossible to give birth to a third grade after this, but the Tang Bohu in front of him is different. He was born as a Jinshi in the imperial examination, and now he is the governor of Hong Kong. After that, he has a bright future.

After working here for a few years, at that time, he will be transferred back to the mainland of Daming, and he will go to the Imperial Academy to stay for a while. After he comes out, he can be a great official in the frontier.

When it's almost the same time, maybe there is still a chance to enter the cabinet and aspire to be the ultimate minister.

So he must be polite to Tang Yin, this kind of person cannot be offended.

"Master Jiang!"

Tang Bohu also saluted Jiang Liang respectfully. The Jiang Liang in front of him is a legend who can do this. Although it is also a product of special circumstances, his ability is still obvious to all.

Among other things, it is remarkable just that he has mastered many European languages. It is already difficult for ordinary people to learn a foreign language. He is almost proficient in the languages ​​​​of European countries.

"Master Tang, this is General Deng Yong Deng, commander of the Hong Kong Army, and this is General Xiong Hanxiong, commander of the Hong Kong Navy."

"This is Minister Andre, Minister of Spain in Hong Kong, and this is Governor Liu Ping, Governor of the Wudu Colony of Japan."

"I have long admired General Deng, General Xiong~"

"Hello, Mr. Ambassador, and Governor Liu~"

Following Jiang Liang's introduction, Tang Bohu also silently said that all these people in front of him were written down one by one. These people in front of him are all important people here.

Especially Deng Yong and Xiong Han, from now on we will have to deal with them.

Similarly, everyone also looked at Tang Bohu carefully, wanting to get a general idea of ​​some of the character of the new governor, so that it will be easier to get along with him in the future.

The Governor of Hong Kong has great power. He not only governs the government affairs here in Hong Kong, but even the garrison here is subject to his restraint. It can be said that the real emperor here.

The point is that Hong Kong now has huge influence in Europe, strong military power, and terrible economic influence. All these determine that the Governor of Hong Kong is definitely a giant. At least here, no one dares to stop talking about him.

"Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome~"

After getting acquainted with important people, there are many children in the port, wearing uniforms and holding flowers in their hands, shouting in unison.

At the same time, on both sides of the road, there are a large number of respectable people in Hong Kong, all of whom are looking at Tang Bohu, waving the dragon flag of the Ming Empire in their hands, and shouting welcome.

"Hello everyone, hello everyone!"

Tang Bohu also waved his hand, and then looked at these children.

They are all of mixed race, each of them is of mixed race of Daming people and European natives, their characteristics are very obvious, and each of them is like a jade carving, very cute.

The Ming people who can come to Hong Kong are basically sailors, soldiers, businessmen, officials, etc., and very few people immigrate here on their own initiative.

These people are synonymous with rich people, and each of them has taken root here, and a large number of local women have been taken as concubines, which has given birth to a large number of descendants.

Obviously, the people of Daming would not ignore these children, and they also opened a large number of schools here.

Only the children of Ming people can enroll in these schools, and it is very difficult for locals to get in. They must have money and connections. This has formed a characteristic of Hong Kong.

The wealthy area where Daming people live has a lot of children, and they are all of mixed race, and there are a lot of women in every household.

Those who were able to welcome Tang Bohu, the governor, obviously had status and status, and the children were all children of the Ming Dynasty.

His wife, He Shi, who came with Tang Bohu, also felt very proud at this moment.

Tang Bohu married two wives in total. The first Mrs. Xu died of dystocia, and the second one is Mrs. He in front of him.

In history, this He family also left Tang Bohu directly after he was sentenced to be unable to be an official anymore because of Tang Bohu's involvement in the reliable inscription case.

But now, Tang Bohu has not been involved in the matter of reliable test questions, the scientific examination is smooth, and the official fortune is smooth, so the He family has been following Tang Bohu. No one knows that she is actually a person who is very vain and hates the poor and loves the rich.

If Tang Bohu was the same as in history, it is estimated that she has already left and left Tang Bohu, but Tang Bohu has a bright future now, so she has always followed, anyway, she is also the wife of the fourth-rank Hong Kong Governor.

Now following here in Hong Kong, and seeing the welcoming scene in front of her eyes, her vanity was greatly satisfied. It was considered the right person at the beginning, and marrying Tang Bohu, a great talent, was also the right one.

Of course, Tang Bohu didn't know that his wife He Shi would be such a person, because now the husband and wife are still very loving, and even have several children.

Compared with history, Tang Bohu suffered a second blow because his wife hated the poor and loved the rich and abandoned him. He was devastated and miserable. It was not until he met Shen Jiuniang, a famous Suzhou prostitute, that he lived a warm life.

However, fate always tortures people. Shen Jiuniang died of illness at the age of [-], which caused Tang Bohu to suffer another heavy blow, so he lost all his family property in a short period of time, and became extremely depressed. He could only rely on selling paintings. For a living, he finally chose to convert to Buddhism.

The current Tang Bohu is proud of his horseshoe disease. He is only in his forties and already a governor of the fourth rank, with a bright future.

A lively welcome ceremony was also held here at Longwan Wharf, which made Tang Bohu, the new Hong Kong governor, feel the enthusiasm of Hong Kong people.
