"Ready--, one-two-three, laugh one!"

John hid in the thick black cloth of the camera and shouted loudly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Bang!"

The camera, which was old and bulky in He Changying's eyes, but in the eyes of the new soldiers, it was a great Western thing, and then a puff of white smoke came out.

He Changying, Wu Weiyang, Shen Zhaoao, this group of new military camp officers, young and vigorous figures, are frozen in the picture of Lushun Military Port.

"Uhhh

The flotilla whistled and sailed along the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula in the direction of Dalian Bay in the northeast.

Lushun Military Port, Donggang Military Port Administration.

When he heard the sound of cannons in the open sea, Ding Ruchang, a 58-year-old admiral of the navy, fell on the table with the ivory cigarette stick in his hand in shock.

Immediately, he understood that this was the sound of artillery fired by Lin Taizeng, the general of the left wing, who was passing through the Lushun Pass and escorting the troops to Pyongyang.

Otherwise, with such a good view of the Golden Mountain, and it was clear daylight, even if the Oriental fleet wanted to come to raid without knowing whether it was alive or dead, it would be impossible to drive the warship outside the lion's mouth, and the artillery camp on the mountain had not yet been discovered.

"This 'rat zeng', with the speed of ten knots of merchant ships, can reach the mouth of the Datong River at the end of tomorrow afternoon (14 o'clock), and then the merchant ships of China Merchants will enter the Datong River on their own and go up to Pyongyang against the current, and he can immediately set off to return to Lushun, and he can return to Lushun before the early morning of the day after tomorrow."

Ding Ruchang wanted to slap the table angrily: "This time and again, it is only a little more than two days, I am really frightened by the Orientals, how can I have the demeanor of his brother!" ”

"Newspaper—"

A gun commander of the Golden Mountain Fort rushed into the lobby of the government office.

"What's the matter?"

Just thinking about the white and chubby appearance of 'Rat Zeng', Ding Ruchang had a very bad premonition.

"Opening the military gate, the 'Zhenyuan' ship waved the flag, and the fleet changed course and went in the direction of Dadonggou at the mouth of the Yalu River."

"Bang!"

Ding Ruchang slapped the table hard, and yelled: "Okay, you Lin Taizeng, you really take military law as a child's play, you think you can't cut off your dog's head, right?" Come on, go to the telegraph room, I want to impeach him Lin Taizeng in Zhongtang. ”

The mixed fleet traveled all the way along the endless coastline, and soon came to Dalian, the seaside known as the pearl of the north.

He Changying came to Dalian once when he was a freshman, when he had an infinite desire for Luo Yao in his heart, he did not return to his hometown during the winter vacation, and he froze into a dog every day in the streets and alleys of Mopan Mountain, wanting to meet the goddess in his heart.

At that time, the long coastline was full of buildings and high-rise buildings, and ships were weaving all over the sea.

Ten years ago, however, the Qing government began to build harbor trestle bridges, forts, and mine camps on the north shore of Dalian Bay, becoming a military town.

In the twilight of the setting sun, He Changying saw that there were only a few rows of forts on the high cliffs by the sea, and there were sparse barracks and wooden houses scattered on the flat coastline, as well as some trestle bridges and wooden-hulled merchant ships.

"Uhhh

The flotilla whistled and continued on its way, and soon the sun sank into the endless mountains and the stars filled the sky.

Li Jingfang woke up from his sleep and was ready to have dinner and get a good night's sleep, otherwise he would have to be in a hurry when he arrived in Pyongyang tomorrow evening.

Then he got the astonishing news from his newly recruited henchmen Cheng Guande and Hong Jiading that the fleet had changed course and was going to Anton.

Li Jingfang's face changed at that time.

His current state of mind is that he can't wait to put on his wings and go to Pyongyang immediately.

Then with Ye Zhichao and Nie Shicheng, the Beiyang generals, they pointed out the two thousand miles of rivers and mountains in the eight provinces of Korea, and beat the Oriental Army to the point of wolves and rabbits.

Let the old and young masters in the world see that Li Zhongtang is a 'thumb', and his eldest son Li Jingfang is not inferior to his Lao Tzu, he is still a 'thumbs-up'!

However, Lin Taizeng's small turn did not reduce the distance of the ship at all, but he Li Jingfang had to spend at least half a month walking 400 miles of mountain road from the mouth of the Yalu River to Pyongyang City!

"What about Lin Taizeng?"

Li Jingfang asked with a gloomy face.

Although he is now only a small fourth-rank consul general of Pyongyang, he does not pay any attention to the prestige of his old son Li Hongzhang, who is the left-wing general Lin Taizeng of the second grade.

"I've been waiting outside the door, I politely said to come in and call you, but he repeatedly stopped me, saying that my lord, you went to North Korea to work for the country, he just waited a little longer, and he deserved."

Cheng Guande and Hong Jiading both secretly got the benefits of Lin Taizeng just now, and since they took people's money, they naturally had to help Lin Taizeng say a few good words.

Hearing Cheng Guande say this, Li Jingfang's face looked a little better, nodded and said, "Please let him in." ”

Li Jingfang listened to Lin Taizeng's flattering explanation with a flattering face, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting a smiling person, besides, this left-wing general of the Navy Division, who was not a few years older than himself, Li Jingfang was still thinking about preparing to be of great use in the future.

Li Jingfang nodded and said, "Where has the fleet gone now?" ”

"Just past Dalian Bay, now at the mouth of the shark."

Lin Taizeng replied respectfully.

"Lin Zhentai, you ask the fleet to pause and let He Changying come over to discuss."

Regarding He Changying's sudden inexplicable play, Li Jingfang couldn't cry or laugh.

The night before, he heard his successor Zhang secretly say that a young Wupin military attache actually entered the lotus garden of the inner house and talked with his father for a long time.

What made him even more sensitive was that his second sister Li Jingpu was also present at that time.

Entering the inner house, if it is said that there is a right to follow the current affairs, then his second sister, a girl who has not left the cabinet, meets a young man, this matter is a little unusual!

Then yesterday a maid's mouth was broken, and her mother was not at home, so he succeeded Zhang and blamed this maid with family law, not the second sister was soft-hearted and pleaded, so she had to be beaten half to death.

However, in private, he told him that the content of this maid's broken mouth was that the military attache actually inadvertently touched the second sister's little hand when he was lighting a cigarette for his father with a fire sickle.

At that time, Li Jingfang was stunned!

Last night, my father specially called his three brothers together to talk, first telling himself some things about Pyongyang.

Then he told himself to take care of He Changying, after all, he was too young, so he would check him more.

At that time, Li Jingfang had some understanding in his heart.

Then his father actually asked the third brother to go back to Feixi to find out the roots of He Changying's deeds.

Li Jingfang is a pig, and he knows what his father means.

The marriage of the second sister is now a headache for the family, you must know that she is twenty-three years old this year, and the court and the opposition don't know how many people are watching the jokes in their own family.

Especially the eldest sister, who was shamelessly calculated by Zhang Peilun back then, married this lady who died twice in a row at the age of twenty-two, and was already forty-one years old at the time.

As the eldest son in the family, as long as he thought of this, Li Jingfang felt full of shame and anger.
