"Woo woo woo ......"

The Yangzhou cruise ship and the Xuzhou cruise ship, which carried the last spiritual hope of the Chinese, slowly began to leave the Chunjiang wharf, the people cheered and jumped up, and some even gave up the firecrackers, how many people burst into tears, the Chinese soldiers finally had to straighten their waists, and the Chinese soldiers were finally going to sail away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the distance, Chen Qimei stood on a pile of wooden boxes, surrounded by Chen Qimei, Li Shuping, Li Xiehe, Feng Shaoshan, Li Xianmo, Shen Manyun and other revolutionary parties, who were happy for the departure of the overseas Chinese army, but also blamed themselves for their meanness.

"I shouldn't have done that." Li Xiehe suddenly blamed himself, "General Jingyun is not greedy for life and afraid of death, he is waiting for the arrival of the navy frigate, he wants to protect his 5,000 overseas Chinese army, we forced them to leave Shanghi, we are ...... Alas......"

Chen Qimei patted him on the shoulder and said lightly: "I found Jingyun a few days ago and confessed everything to him. ”

"What?" Li Xiehe was surprised, "He knows? ”

Chen Qimei nodded and said: "He told me that he didn't care, and he also said that he had already guessed that it was us." ”

Li Xiehe and others looked at Chen Qimei in surprise, some people began to blush, and more people blamed themselves for their meanness, they were revolutionary parties, intellectuals, and the backbone of the nation, using such despicable means to squeeze out national heroes, although they achieved their own goals, they also blamed themselves for their own hearts.

Chen Qimei said: "Jingyun is my elder brother, and I once agreed with him that when we are old, we will live in seclusion together, fishing, playing chess and drinking." I admire his pure heart, and I admire his character even more. After I was frank, Jingyun said that perhaps he would be able to get the greatest benefit by staying, and by learning from our revolutionary party, he would gain the appreciation of the imperial court, and become the second Li Hongzhang, or even the second Zeng Guofan. But he also said that because there are too many smart people in China, everyone for themselves and everyone for profit, has turned the world's smartest empire into a plate of scattered sand. He said that he was also a smart man, but people always had to do some stupid things, and he went overseas to protect overseas Chinese, not for the imperial court, but for the 10.24 million square kilometers of China, and for the 450,000 compatriots. ”

Li Xiehe admired: "If the republican government is established in the future, I am willing to recommend Jingyun to be the president." ”

Chen Qimei also sighed and said, "I am also willing." ”

When the ship left the mouth of the Yangtze River, four warships suddenly appeared in front of them, and everyone was nervous, and the observer suddenly shouted: "Our warship is our warship, it is the Qing Navy!" ”

Wang Yongan and others walked to the front of overtime one after another, and were surprised to see the four warships slowly driving away. The four warships were the cruiser Fujing of the Nanyang Naval Division, the cruiser Haichou of the Beiyang Naval Division, the supply ship Jiangyuan and the supply ship Jiangdao, and the official naval commander of the Overseas Chinese Naval Commander of the Haichoo Navy, Li Zhun, who stood at the bow of the cruiser Haichou, and Li Zhun, the former commander of the Guangdong Naval Division.

"Flag Wave." Li Zhun ordered, "The Admiralty ordered the Navy to cancel the escort, but the Chinese Navy has never abandoned the habit of comrades-in-arms, and the sea soul of the Navy man cannot be desecrated." It turned out that the reason why Li Zhun was sick at the beginning was at the request of the Admiralty, and Li Zhun also hesitated, no one was born a hero, in the face of the future and the country, Li Zhun also hesitated for a few days, when he saw that his henchmen and soldiers were angry at each other by the local people, and some people even spit on their backs, knowing in his heart that he had slaughtered the revolutionary party and caused the killing of 72 people in Huanghuagang, and he was already standing opposite the people.

Li Zhun is a professional soldier, he finally made a decision in the face of the problem of being worthy of the people and loyal to the imperial court, set off to protect overseas Chinese, and then ordered four ships to assemble, and finally arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River on June 24, and joined the overseas Chinese army on the sea, Li Zhun understood that when he returned from Mexico, the Qing Kingdom would not let go of himself, but he made a decision that he would not regret for the rest of his life.

After seeing the flag on the opposite side, Wang Yongan was moved to tears, this is the spirit of the Chinese Navy, this is the inheritance of the Beiyang Navy and the Nanyang Navy.

After Wang Yongan saw Li Zhun, he was surprised, because Li Zhun actually commanded the warship with a bandage, he was puzzled, so he asked the reason. Li Zhun smiled bitterly, it turned out that not long ago, he was assassinated by the Hong Kong China Assassination Group, an assassination organization of the Revolutionary Party, and although he was not seriously injured, he also recuperated for a period of time.

The Hong Kong China Assassination Troupe was established by Liu Sifu, a native of Xiangshan (now Zhongshan City), and others, and initially consisted of eight people, namely Liu Sifu, Xie Yingbo, Zhu Shutang, Chen Ziju, Gao Jianfu, Cheng Ke, Chen Jiongming, and Li Xibin. Their mission was to create an atmosphere of terror, assassinate or expel Qing generals and officials, and prepare for the uprising. Liu Sifu organized the assassination of Li Zhun many times, but he was unsuccessful before and after.

Because Li Zhun led the Navy Battalion to kill a number of League youths in quelling the rebellion in Guangzhou, the Hong Kong China Assassination Squad was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to skin and eat his flesh. After the defeat of Huanghuagang, the assassination regiment was divided into two routes, one to the north to assassinate Zaifeng, and the other to Guangzhou to assassinate Li Zhun. The main members of the assassination team that assassinated Li Zhun were composed of Li Xibin, Zhu Shutang, and others, and the rest were Liang Yishen, Shi Zhengfu, Li Shaohua, Zhou Yanming, Zhang Lun, Chen Jingyue, and others to carry out reconnaissance, bomb making, assassination, and cover.

A month ago, they assassinated Zhang Mingqi but failed, so they assassinated Li Zhun, and they pretended to be peddlers' pawns at the entrance of the water division's office, threw bombs at Li Zhun when he was traveling, and shot guns, killing several guards on the spot and injuring Li Zhun. Although Li Zhun was not seriously injured, the assassination made him very conflicted, he was not an officer who did not understand the national situation at all, but he finally had his own profession and his military status, but now the whole of China is anti-Qing, and even his family is talking about it.

Li Zhun sighed: "I am a general of the Qing Dynasty, but I am hated by the people, and I hesitate and don't know what to do. ”

Wang Yongan smiled and reassured: "The public is a soldier, and a soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty, but he is really dutiful, and there is no need to regret it." If I go to Mexico, whether it is the revolutionary party or the imperial court, the public can only face the matter of protecting overseas Chinese with peace of mind, and I will handle the rest. ”

Li Zhun knew that Wang Yongan was young but had great powers, so he settled down to command the fleet. With such a professional naval soldier as Li Zhun as the commander of the fleet, the entire fleet headed for Yokohama, Japan, in an orderly manner.

After the fleet sailed out of the open sea, all the crew relaxed down, and Wang Yongan shouted: "Depart, sail to Mexico, and tell the Mexican rebels that China must not be insulted!" ”
