Li Wei's mentality is very good, but then again, in just a few years, he went from a small official to a prefect of Manila, and in terms of grades, he was more than three levels.

If he was in the local area, with Li Wei's qualifications, he might not be able to get the position of Tongzhi. So he knew very well that even if Luzon officially established a province, he would definitely not be the candidate for the governor, but there might be positions to participate in politics. This is a third-rank official who is second-level higher than the prefect, second only to the governor's position.

Therefore, when he returned to Beijing to report his work, Li Wei did not have the mentality of worrying about gains and losses. Moreover, he has always been optimistic and has no official airs. He can talk to all the people of all religions and other classes.

The warship that sent him back to his homeland belongs to the South China Sea Fleet. In fact, the route from Luzon to return to his homeland is very safe. You should know that except for some ships from Britain, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands, the rest of the South China Sea are basically all kinds of ships from the Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with the occupation of Johor, the Ming Dynasty had regarded the South China Sea as a private place. Foreign ships were strictly managed, especially the warships of Western countries. Without the permission of the Ming Dynasty, they could not enter the South China Sea area at all.

As for those merchant ships, they were normally released, but they also needed to register in Johor before entering the South China Sea area. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had controlled the territory of the South China Sea, and even if Li Wei returned to the local area on an ordinary merchant ship, there would be no accident.

However, considering Li Wei's actions in Luzon over the years, the South China Sea Fleet still sent a warship-based Li Wei back to China for safety reasons.

The captain of the warship, Wang Yuan, was a lieutenant colonel. Although this military position is not low, his rank is still much worse than Li Wei. But even so, after boarding the ship, Li Wei became brothers and brothers with the other party, as if he was an old friend. After the initial restraint, Wang Yuan was also used to Li Wei's casual and interaction style, and the relationship between the two sides was very harmonious along the way.

"This is not necessarily the case." Wang Yuan picked up the wine pot on the table and poured wine for Li Wei, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li is a capable official of the Ming Dynasty. Who knows the ability to govern the country in this place? If you don't talk about the others, just look at Luzon now. What was Luzon back then and what was it now? Everyone sees it."

"The priests are always wise and love money very much. I heard that Lord Li was transferred to Tongzhi back then. Since Lord Li had long been attracted by the priest, this is Jian Zai's heart! So in my opinion, Lord Li might be surprised when he returns to Beijing this time."

Li Wei laughed unquestionably, but he didn't answer Wang Yuan's words, raised his glass to persuade the other party to drink, and took the opportunity to divert the topic and talked about other things.

With a table of good wine and dishes, the two of them laughed and talked about each other. Although Li Wei was a young master from a wealthy businessman, he had a strong sense of market. In addition, he traveled everywhere when he was a teenager and could be said to be knowledgeable. As for Wang Yuan, as a middle-level naval officer, he has always been to play in the South China Sea, and naturally he has seen and heard a lot of interesting news. After chatting like this, the two had a great time and drank a few more drinks before they knew it.

It was late at night, and lying in his cabin, the sound of waves slapping at the warship came from his ears. With the slight ups and downs of the warship, Li Wei did not feel sleepy even though he drank.

Compared with him who was smiling during the day, Li Weiwei frowned and pondered. Although Li Wei has always been extremely free and easy, as if he doesn't take anything to heart, Li Wei is actually a meticulous person deep in his heart. If he was just a ignorant young man who knew the world, otherwise he would not have reached the position he is today.

In recent years, he has made great contributions in Luzon and made a lot of contributions. In particular, the massacre of local natives has further strengthened the Ming Dynasty's control over Luzon.

However, he has killed too ruthlessly over the years, and there are not a million or hundreds of thousands of natives who died directly or indirectly at his hands. Such a massacre is certainly necessary, but it also brought a lot of trouble to Li Wei.

Luzon is not too far from the local area. It set off from Luzon at the speed of a speed of a speed of a speed of a speed of a speed of a speed of a speed of a flight to Guangdong, and only a few days later. Therefore, there are some news from the local area that Li Wei is not blocked. Because of the massacre of the natives, Li Wei not only bears the title of Li butcher Li, but is also impeached by some officials.

Just over a month ago, Li Wei received news that a censor in the court wrote a letter to impeach him, saying that he had killed too many times in Luzon, which would hurt the heavens.

In addition, some people may have followed the trend and wrote letters to the court because they saw that Li Wei was promoted too quickly. After these news came, Li Wei didn't care at all, because the things he did in Luzon were completely in the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and he was not wrong to do so. These Luzon natives were murdering the Ming people with the Spanish back then, and such a serious crime would naturally lead to death.

But Li Wei never expected that although the court had no substantive explanation for these impeachments, not long after, the Military Affairs Office and the Ministry of Personnel sent a letter asking Li Wei to return to Beijing to report his duties.

When he returned to Beijing to report his work, the articles here can be big or small, and maybe nothing is happening, it is just a normal report. Or the rumored Luzon province requires Li Wei's opinion, so the Military Affairs Department and the Ministry of Personnel asked him to return to Beijing.

But in addition to these, there is another possibility, that is, because the previous impeachment court planned to target Li Wei, deliberately asked him to return to Beijing in this name.

As for what it was, Li Wei couldn't figure it out. These possibilities existed, and for him, plain worries were useless, so Li Wei remained the same and showed a free and easy appearance, but he couldn't help but think about it secretly.

As he got closer to the local area, the worry in Li Wei became even more and more. Now, he has arrived in Taiwan and will arrive in Tianjin in a few days. After Tianjin landed, he is so close to the capital. This report will be like this. Li Wei, who seems calm, is still a little unwilling to let go.

The warship did not stay for too long after Taiwan Huilan Port. On the afternoon of the next day, the warship continued to set sail, heading north from eastern Taiwan, then turned northwest, and then headed towards Tianjin along the coastline.

A few days later, the warship arrived in Tianjin City. Li Wei officially changed into his official uniform. After saying goodbye to Wang Yuan, he got off the ship with his entourage.

Because Li Wei was just returning to Beijing to report his work, and with his grade and identity, there would naturally be no special person to pick him up in Tianjin. So after Li Wei landed on the shore, he asked his followers to ask for someone. Because it was too late today, the carriages that traveled to and from Tianjin and the capital every day were gone. Unless he rented a horse and rushed to and from the road, he would rest in Tianjin for one night before leaving tomorrow.

Li Wei thought about it and stayed for a day, found an inn to register, and then moved in.
