Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2269, Liu Jin's autobiography
Here at the port pier of Nanzhou City, the big island of East Africa, a colony of South Africa, several large ships were already ready to sail northward, but it was ten o'clock in the morning, but they had not started for a long time.

The staff on board were all waiting patiently, because they knew that this time, a real big shot was going north on several large ships.

That's right, you heard me right, that is, a person has to take several large ships to go north, and the three large ships are all for this one person, and many of his personal cars, family gifts, and supplies have already been loaded on the ship And so many things.

At the boarding pier, South African Governor Liu Da brought his whole family together, all of them were crying. Liu Jin was leaving, and they were extremely reluctant.

They tried every means to persuade him to stay for a longer period of time, but Liu Jin had already made up his mind to go, and no one said it was of any use.

At this moment, Liu Da, even though he was middle-aged and still the governor of South Africa, when his father was about to leave South Africa, he was still full of tears and extremely reluctant to part with him.

Because he knew that this farewell may never have the chance to meet again in the future.

Maybe the next time we meet, it may be when Liu Jin is about to leave, and this farewell is very likely to be a farewell forever.

Recalling the warmth at home when he was a child, he was sent to South Africa to grow up alone when he grew up, and now he has become the governor of South Africa, which has consolidated the status and interests of the Liu family in South Africa.

Everything, in fact, is inseparable from Liu Jin's support in the end.

It was precisely because of Liu Jin's silent support behind him, who arranged the road ahead for Liu Da, that he was able to walk so smoothly.

Even though it is thousands of miles away, even if he is not around, Liu Da can still feel the father's love from Liu Jin. The father's love is like a mountain. It is precisely because of Liu Jin's love for his children that he chooses to let his brothers go. Went overseas.

This is how many brothers have been made. If they just stay in the capital like those rich and powerful children in the capital, maybe they are just a dude in the capital or an ordinary noble child who is unknown, working in the army or in the court. A petty official who will grow old without doing anything all his life.

Only when Liu Da himself stood on the position of the governor of South Africa, and when he began to think about the future of his children, could Liu Da truly understand the good intentions of his father Liu Da.

In the past, Liu Da had a lot of complaints about Liu Jin.

Because the eldest Liu Xin can stay in the capital, and the seventh Liu Qing can also stay in the capital, but they are exiled overseas like exile, far away from their relatives and the comfortable life in Beijing and Tianjin.

He was very eager to stay in the capital, even if he became a mediocre person, so he was full of dissatisfaction with Liu Jin in his heart.

But when he recalled the road he had traveled, and looked at everything now, he really understood that if you can't cut a jade, you can't make a weapon. Staying in the capital is just a canary in a cage, and it will never be promising.

Only by going to this overseas country, in a free sky, flying freely and growing freely, can he truly grow into a great man like Liu Jin, a person who can go down in history.

When his children had grown up, and when he began to arrange and think about their future, Liu Da had to admit that he might really not be able to do what his father did. Compared with his father, I am still too far away, too far away.

In his heart, Liu Jin will always be an unattainable peak, an existence worth looking up to all his life.

"Father, you can stay here for a while longer, and let me accompany you more."

Liu Da burst into tears and couldn't control his emotions, his mother Li Zhenna couldn't help crying even more.

"Son, I've lived here for a long time."

"I still have to go to your third, fourth, and fifth brothers. There are still many things to do in Daming, and many people to meet."

Liu Jin looked at Liu Da and wiped his slightly moist eye sockets.

Speaking of reluctance, in fact Liu Jin is also very reluctant, but there is no way to give up, it is impossible for him to stay here forever.

I still have a lot of things to do, and a lot of people I want to meet, and I will talk about these things while I am still in good health and before I am old and confused.

"You've done a great job and I'm so proud of you!"

"I hope you can continue to do so in the future and lead the people in the South African colonies to a better and better future. We will also multiply and grow our old Liu family. We must be strict in the education of future generations and always keep in mind the family and ancestors' precepts. We Although the Liu family has huge wealth and influence, it is just guarding for the people of the world."

"If you want to use the influence and wealth you keep to do more things that benefit the descendants of Yan and Huang, and give back to the society, the descendants must work hard to be people who contribute to society, the nation, and the country."

Liu Jin looked at Liu Da, thought for a while and ordered again.

The Liu family also has an extremely large industry here in the South African colony. Although it is only a part of the huge industry of the Liu family, even this part has far exceeded people's imagination, and it is an extremely huge astronomical figure.

All these family properties were passed on to Liu Da and belonged to the descendants of Liu Da's lineage.

Liu Jin doesn't want his descendants to lie on the inheritance left by their ancestors and not think about making progress. He hopes that his descendants can study hard, work hard, and become useful people to society, instead of becoming the second generation. Know how to eat, drink and be merry.

"Yes, the child must remember his father's teachings!"

Liu Da nodded solemnly, and the sons behind him also said in unison: "Grandson must remember grandpa's teachings!"

"Ok!"

"Okay, okay, let's all go back, let's go."

Liu Jin nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, if he didn't leave, Liu Jin himself would be in tears.

This man is old, and what he cares most about is his own children and grandchildren. As for national affairs, Liu Jin has already let go.

"Father, aunt, mother!"

"Please accept us!"

Seeing that Liu Jin insisted on leaving, Liu Da also brought his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson to kneel down in front of Liu Jin, Xu Wan'er, and Li Zhen, and respectfully kowtowed to the three of them.

"Okay, okay, get up, get up."

"At any rate, he is the governor of South Africa. Let people see how bad it is to spread the word."

Liu Jin helped up his son and grandsons, and then went straight to the boarding stairs, turning his head and waving as he walked.

"Take care of yourselves!"

Li Zhen couldn't cry anymore, but she still turned her head with force, climbed the stairs with the help of the maid, and boarded the ship without hesitation.

"Mother, take care!"

"Grandma, take care!"

"Grandma, grandson misses you!"

Amidst the cries, the ship began to slowly start, and bursts of sirens rang through the port.

On the deck of the ship, Liu Jin, Li Zhen, Xu Wan'er and others kept waving to Liu Da and the others. When the ship gradually moved away, Liu Jin wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

As for Liu Da and the others at the port, they had been watching the ship completely disappear on the sea level, and then reluctantly went back.

Liu Jin's ship kept going northward, stopping and stopping along the coastline of East Africa. Liu Jin also continued to travel around, and at the same time began to write his personal autobiography.

"Before, I was always ignorant, as if living in an illusory future world."

"In that future world, I was so ordinary. I commuted from nine to five every day just to eat three meals a day. In that illusory world, I saw many, many future things."

"But at the same time, I also felt the years of suffering that a nation that was almost broken in its spine went through in order to rise."

"The bitter history written by that period of blood and tears is a history of countless martyrs defending the ancient land of the East with their own blood!"

When Liu Jin actually started writing his autobiography, he didn't know where to start.

Did I start writing when I traveled through the previous world, or did I write about the ordinary 18 years before this body I occupied?
Finally, after thinking for a long time, Liu Jin began to write his autobiography in this way.

This kind of beginning also made countless historians of later generations scratch their heads and couldn't figure out what kind of illusory world Liu Jin experienced back then, and he actually spent 18 years in the illusory world.

What is even more unbelievable is why Liu Jin always raises the term "History of Blood and Tears" in this illusory world. It seems that in the illusory world that Liu Jin experienced before, the Ming Empire seemed to be an extremely tragic character. The ancient land here seems to have suffered from vicissitudes.

This may also be why Liu Jin was always determined to reform and promote new learning later on. Only then did the Ming Empire gradually prosper, and the Ming Empire get rid of the curse and fate of the previous historical reincarnation.

Historians have studied carefully and made all kinds of guesses, but they still can't figure out what kind of illusory world Liu Jin and Liu Gong, who had a huge influence in history, experienced in the first 18 years, so Liu Jin Jin grew into a great enough to rank in the top ten of history.

The autobiography written by Liu Jin has also become an important historical material for later historians to study the turbulent, turbulent, rapid development, and ever-changing era of the Hongzhi Dynasty and the Zhengde Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

The rapid development of capitalism and colonialism, the rapid germination and breakthrough of science and technology and humanistic spirit, this is a brand new era, different from any previous era of any country or dynasty.

And Liu Jin was in such an era, and he was still the leader of this era. This autobiography of Liu Jin is definitely an important material for later historians to study this magnificent era at that time.

Of course, thanks to the rapid development of technology in this era, a large number of precious photos and video materials have been left in this era, and there are also a large number of newspapers that have been passed down to future generations, so that future generations can clearly know the major events that happened in this era. , You can also see photos of people who reflect history in this era.

But many major events have actually been buried in the long river of history with time, and only some things left over from history can truly reveal the true face of that period of history.

Why do some people like to study history? It is because through continuous analysis and deduction of various materials, that period of history can be truly restored in the end, so that future generations can know the true thoughts buried in history.

Does history really matter?
To say it is important, of course it is important, to say it is not important is actually not important.

In the end, in fact, everything will be sunk and covered up by history. Only those great men who can truly shine through the ages can have their names always remembered by future generations.

They are like the peaks in the long river of history. No matter how the long river of history washes away, they still do not fall down, and they have always run through the past and present. As for ordinary people, being able to become a wave in the long river of history is something to be proud of Yes, because there will always be someone who will be able to see the wave you once set off thousands of years later.

Of course, for Liu Jin now, these are things in the future.

He is still worrying about his autobiography.

When he really wanted to write his autobiography, Liu Jin also found that he didn't know how to start.

Because some of my memories have become blurred, I still need to recall them carefully, and I also need to consult some historical records at that time, and recall and check with some people.

Since it is an autobiography, it must be rigorous and serious if it is written for future generations to read.

And this is the only thing Liu Jin needs to do in his old age. Liu Jin wants to write it seriously.

Unlike the biographies written by historians in the past, which were written in short classical Chinese, Liu Jin decided to write in vernacular, not because he couldn't write classical Chinese.

At Liu Jin's level, he is already familiar with it by heart, and it is also possible to write classical Chinese.

But in classical Chinese, there are too many meanings in just a few words, which requires continuous research and speculation by future generations, and there will always be huge deviations.

Therefore, it is still necessary to use vernacular, write in vernacular, be as detailed and specific as possible, so that it will be convenient for future generations to read and study.

But I can’t show that my level is not good, so this is a headache, and whether the autobiography is based on time or events, this is also a matter that needs to be carefully considered and carefully considered.

In general, Liu Jin needs to think carefully, to think carefully, and to look up information and recall some past things in detail.

Especially when it comes to Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Wang Shouren, Zhang Mao, Yang Yun, Zhu Fu, Zhu Houzhao, etc., it is even more necessary to draw them alive, and restore the true appearance and what was said at the time as much as possible. Words, affection, etc.

This is a huge job!
