Time will not accommodate mortals, death is the final destination!

In the late winter of 1860, Mr. Howlett Sr., the pillar of the Howlett family, passed away, only one day later than his son John Howlett.

Lin Feng, dressed in black with a white lily on his chest and a bouquet of yellow and white chrysanthemums in his hand, accompanied his adopted son James to the funeral of Old Howlett.

For the Lin family, which has long mastered greenhouse technology, out-of-season flowers are not surprising, and the flowers in the hands of guests were also provided by the Lin family.

"Mr. Howlett was called by the Lord and is our beloved, upright and loyal friend!"

"He lived a magnificent life and showed the greatest kindness to his family, friends and everyone who loved him. With the passing of Mr. Howlett, we have lost a good friend, a good elder, and a good companion. We cannot help but feel a little sad in our hearts."

"But we firmly believe that when we pass the journey he walked, we will meet again in heaven. He will rest in the Lord's Kingdom of God, now……"

Father Gerald narrated the eulogy solemnly and affectionately, and the crows on the mountain bushes chirped from time to time, making the atmosphere even more sad.

Elizabeth Howlett, who had not been seen for a long time, looked pale and leaned weakly in the arms of the maid, her black and white gauze skirt flowing in the wind.

James bit his lip tightly, trying his best to hold back the tears that were about to burst into his eyes.

The grandfather who had protected him under his wing since he was a child passed away. His nominal father and biological father are also no longer alive. His biological mother Elizabeth's health does not seem to be good today. She may have to send away his last blood relative in a short time.

Under the blows that followed, James tried his best to pretend to be strong. The servants and guards of Howlett Manor were all moved by this and lamented that Mr. Howlett had a successor.

After the long eulogy and ceremony, James was the first to go to the grave where the coffin was placed, gently put down a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, and took one last look at Old Howlett's sad face.

Lin Feng was silent and sent a yellow and white bouquet after him. In the early days of the Lin family's establishment, this old man helped a lot.

After he was released from seclusion, he came to Howlett Manor and persuaded the old man to accept his cure and live in seclusion and never show his face again, but old Mr. Howlett refused.

He had been tough and arrogant all his life, and when he was about to die, he was asked to live in hiding for several years. Old Mr. Howlett would rather die than become a turtle.

People came forward one by one, presented flowers in their hands, and said their final goodbyes.

After everyone left, James picked up the shovel, walked slowly to the tomb, and filled it in with his own hands.

"Foster father, I want to stay at Howlett Manor and cannot go back with you. The Howlett family cannot be leaderless!"

"But if you need me, no matter when you give the order, I am willing to charge into battle for you, even if I lose my life, I will complete the mission."

The deaths of relatives have made James grow up a lot.

He looked at the guards and servants around him and understood deeply that from now on, the fate of these people will be entrusted to his hands.

The Howlett family cannot be cut off. The spirit of old Mr. Howlett will be inherited by him and will be passed down from generation to generation.

Lin Feng patted his generous shoulder and sighed softly.

"I see! This is your mission and responsibility. Your adoptive father will not stop you, but will be proud of you!"

"Don't forget when you encounter difficulties, the Lin family will always support you, and you are also my child!"

There is not much sadness in the parting between men.

Rose O'Hara looked at James' lonely figure, walked a few steps quickly, took his hand and whispered

"James, don't be like this, you, me and everyone!"

James squeezed her little hand and forced a smile.

Lin Feng's teasing gaze made their cheeks turn red, but their hands held tighter.

"It seems that you don't need my comfort, just go ahead and do it. Your stepfather is there to take care of everything and I believe that no one will mess with you!"

"The Lin family has a lot of affairs, so I won’t stay here and be an eyesore! When you and Rose get married, remember to inform your adoptive father and I will give you a big gift!"

Patting James' shoulder again, Lin Feng got on his horse, whipped the horse hard, and galloped towards Lin's Manor. The divine guards behind him followed one after another, like a long dragon rising up into the sky.

……

The housekeeper Lin Shuhao earnestly asked him to burn the clothes for the funeral, so as not to bring the deceased's bad luck home and affect the health of the ladies, ladies and gentlemen.

Lin Feng didn't believe this, but there were some things that he didn't need to confront if he didn't believe it. He had no choice but to change his clothes from Jian Ruliu, and then entered the study room in the main building to start handling family affairs.

Since taking control of Ghana, the power of the Lin family has once again expanded several times. Most of the matters that require his personal decision-making are closely related to government affairs and affect all aspects of the autonomous territory.

For example, the steel plant applied to expand production 10 times to meet the construction needs of a four-horizontal and three-vertical railway that runs through major cities in Ghana; the Fox Hunters Corps applied to recruit new soldiers to fill the gap due to the majority of soldiers being transferred to the National Defense Force; the shipyard requested to recruit more Many engineers and scientists build and design steel battleships and so on.

Every incident has a far-reaching impact, involving many government departments and family industries. It can be said that one move affects the whole body, and the decision can only be made by him.

After lunch, the housekeeper Lin Shuhao sent a letter, which was sent back to Ghana University by Blue Bird from the base of Merilican. It elaborated on the recent situation of Merilican in detail.

Mi Siben, who has lived in fear every day in the past few years, has experienced no less than 10 assassinations and assassinations. If he had not been surrounded by guards sent by the Lin family, he would have died at the hands of a gunman sent by the slave owners.

The slave uprising in slave states last October caused a great disturbance. John Brown's name often appeared in the curses of American slave owners, which also distracted the anger of southern slave owners because their men were hanged on the U.S.-Canada border.

After Abraham Lincoln came to power in November this year, the southern slave owners were in panic all day long. They no longer had the energy to retaliate against the treacherous officials in Ghana, and they did not dare to cause trouble at this juncture.

Lin Feng read it carefully, thought for a moment, and wrote a reply carefully, asking the blue bird to continue hibernating and that subsequent layout tasks should be carried out more secretly.

After giving the reply to Lin Shuhao, he picked up the application for the Fox Hunting Corps, crossed out the previously approved recruitment quota of 10,000, and after thinking for a while, changed it to 30,000.

"Shu Hao, after you send the reply, go find Lin Hao. Tell him to go to his motherland again and recruit a group of innocent people. After the Fox Hunting Corps expands, it can't be all white people and it must have its own talents!"

Lin Shuhao nodded and hurried away with the reply.

He had already wanted to advise the master to do this. Military power must be in the hands of his own people to be safe!

When the Fox Hunting Corps was small, it didn't matter, but when it expanded to 30,000, they were all white. , equipped with sophisticated weapons from the Lin family's arsenal. If someone bribes the generals to fight back, even if the Shenwuwei can suppress the rebellion in the end, it will disrupt the good momentum of the Lin family's development.

Meilijian North and South The confrontation has been going on for a long time. The John Brown incident lit the fuse, and Abraham Lincoln's coming to power will sound the clarion call for war. The prelude to the Civil War sweeping across the United States will begin before Lin Feng's eyes.

A plan that has been planned for many years. , finally waited for the opportunity to show off. Both the North and South sides of the game will welcome a third player outside the chess game. No one knows how the future will develop. For a time, the cloud of war enveloped everyone in the beautiful and vast land. People.
