2115 Dawn
This forced palace was completely unexpected, Xiao Letian's rhythm was completely disrupted, and he thought about it all night in bed, and he really couldn't think of how to break the situation that the emperor faction did.
Xiao Letian is very aware of the energy of Wang Huaiyuan and Xiao Hexin, these two can be said to be the two most powerful thinkers of the Chinese people, of course, the version of Ryoma is also very smart, but it is a pity that he is Japanese, and the initiative cannot reach the height of power of Wang Huaiyuan and Xiao Hexin.
These two people teamed up to force the palace, and the game they designed was not something that ordinary people could break, even if he Xiao Letian did his best, after all, these two people have been following Xiao Letian and know his temperament very well.
"To be an emperor, to be an emperor, what a temptation...... It is false to say that I am not tempted, but if I am tempted, what can I do to keep my sons, grandchildren, and future generations safe?"
"You can't ignore your head and bare your own comfort! The German Empire is not far away, and Austria and Tsarist Russia are also living examples, let alone other countries......
"Hey...... It's not that era, Lao Tzu, if I travel to the end of the Ming Dynasty or the end of the Yuan Dynasty, I have to be the emperor to be killed, and only in that era can I dare to say that the country is a five-hundred-year national ancestor......"
After a night of confusion, Xiao Lotian didn't seem to be asleep and didn't come up with a way to break the game, and when the orderly asked him to get up, he knew that he had been in a daze for more than an hour overnight.
"Have you made the ginseng soup and chicken soup prepared in the big kitchen? Have you divided the milk chocolate? Today's ceremony will definitely be long, God knows if there will be a chance to have lunch......"
"Let the soldiers of the honor guard drink as little water as possible, they can't die if they are thirsty, if they lose their temper during the ceremony, be careful of our military law!"
"The chief of the interior immediately checked the clothing of the soldiers of the honor guard, and the military uniforms were all ironed......
Xiao Letian, who was staring at the dark circles under his eyes, jumped up from the bed, and gave orders while washing his face, and the orderly at the door passed the order on again and again.
At five o'clock in the morning, the entire Combined Fleet woke up, and in the early morning of summer, the morning sun in the east was already shining with a thousand rays of light, and the gas lamps hanging on the battleships had not been extinguished, and the street lamps of the cities on the shore had not been extinguished.
Xiao Lotian pushed open the porthole, and was greeted by the magnificent British scenery, the blue sky was bright and dim on the one side, and the daylight and the city lights were soft together, making this picture full of chiaroscuro, which is an indescribable beauty.
"Good weather, really good weather, is Your Majesty back, is the Duke of Newcastle coming, when is the departure ......?"
While wearing a military uniform, Xiao Letian walked outside, in the narrow corridor, the soldiers marching back and forth stood up and saluted him, and the smell of food began to waft out of the four large canteens on the Zhiyuan, and the entire battleship woke up.
One by one, the sailors' cabins passed by, and the busy soldiers brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and sorted out their housekeeping, and began to put on their white shirts and neatly ironed military uniforms.
One by one, the junior officers tensed their strings and loudly scolded their soldiers.
"Damn, what did you do? What kind of dress did you wear without washing your face or brushing your teeth? What if the dirty water splashes it?"
"Xiao Li, how did you get these leather boots? After the military regulations require that you finish brushing, wipe them three times with three clean cotton cloths, why do you only wipe them twice?"
"Let's let Jean, borrow light, borrow light, borrow light, come and two people help me carry chocolates? No one is allowed to eat without an order, these are in the pocket for emergencies, if lunch is delayed, this is a lifesaver......"
"Damn, don't drink water, drink so much and be careful that you urinate frequently! We entered London this time to show off our country's prestige, if anyone wants to pee, be careful of our military law!"
"Go to the restaurant immediately, one person has a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, and the oil cake is enough, but you are not allowed to drink water...... Don't drink it if you're thirsty!"
"Polishing the bayonet, polishing the rifle, changing the strap of the gun with a new one......? Give me a closer look at every nail......"
"Damn, I made a military order from the commander! I will kill whoever of you is trying to thin me, and I will kill me if I try to kill me...... Do you understand everything?"
"Yes! I understand! Obey! Commander...... "The sound of shouts rang out in every sailor's cabin, and the entire Combined Fleet was filled with the excitement before the battle.
Xiao Letian fastened the last button, rushed to the deck, and when he looked up, he found that almost all the senior officers were ready, and the Wang Ju who was the first had even had the leisure to play Tai Chi.
Xiao Letian said with a huff, "You look good, you seem to have slept well! I haven't slept all night, you owe me a good night's sleep......
Wang Huaiyuan completed his layout excellently, he was in a very comfortable mood, he slept well last night, and he even coughed a lot less today.
He wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "The Tai Chi moves that Long Ye has improved are brilliant, and he can sweat profusely every time he fights, and he is very happy...... Hehe, Yuan wants to have a good night's sleep? It's simple, I'll look for a few stunning beauties for you when I go back, so that you can defeat the fire, and naturally sleep soundly......"
"Hey, you, Wang Huaiyuan, are you going to be a hooligan, it's rare......" Luo Huo laughed on the side.
Xiao Letian glared at the group of people, "Be honest with me, and settle the accounts with you...... Be careful with me today, and remember that no matter how much trouble these big European noses make, they must overcome rigidity with softness and rein in their temper!"
At this moment, Liu Dadao walked over with a bitter face, "Greetings to all of you...... Just now, the big-headed soldiers occupied all the restaurants where the adults dined, and I bombarded them and didn't leave, blowing their beards and glaring at me......"
"That lord go and talk about it...... Liu Dadao came up and complained, he is now the chief chef of the mission, and he is in charge of the diet.
Xiao Letian's eyes widened: "What do you say? Today's promotion of our country's prestige does not depend on those of us who are officials, but on the spirit of our brothers! The restaurant should be used by them...... Bring our breakfast and we'll eat it on the deck!"
"Ah, this, this, this ......" Liu Dadao was very unsuitable for Xiao Letian's principles, but he didn't dare to disobey it, so he quickly wiped his sweat and turned his head back.
Sima Yun smiled at Xiao Letian, "The imperial chef who came out of the Forbidden City is naturally a slave, what kind of evil fire are you sending to him! Don't stare at me...... I don't know about you, I'm blending, nothing is ......"
Sima Yun is a chicken thief, this guy usually rarely speaks, he is taciturn, but he knows the most in his heart, the more Xiao Letian looks at him, the more he looks like an emperor who has not been exposed.
Breakfast was served like water, ginseng soup, whole wheat bread, honey, jam, and beef sauce...... It's all high-calorie food, and at the end there's a special Chinese milk chocolate candy on the tray.
Everyone knows that after breakfast, lunch is a passing scene, and there is no food at all, so now you must force yourself to eat more, and for a time all the officers are in a storm.
At this time, the lookout in the battle mast overhead suddenly shouted, "The barge is coming...... Your Majesty returns to the Zhiyuan!"
