Woooooooo

A long whistle suddenly resounded through the Lushun Military Port. Blow up. The bridge that pulled up the anchor squeaked, took the lead in leaving the dock and began to turn around, slowly heading out of the military port, and then Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Bu Toad, and Shichang also followed the flagship. Slowly sailed out of Lushun Wharf, surrounded by layers of mist before the sun appeared, left Lushun and headed for Tianjin.

Tianjin, Zhili Governor's Palace, although the autumn sun is extremely hot, but in the reception hall of the Governor's Mansion with ice cubes to dissipate heat, it is indeed unusually cool.

The Governor's Palace, which has always been heavily guarded, is more rigorous than ever before, not only are people within fifty paces stopping, but around the Governor's Palace, there are endless sentry posts and secret sentries. The small traders who are selling not far away are spies sent by the Governor's Palace.

I can't help Li Hongzhang be careless, now, there is not only a prince living here, but also a Gege, a Gege who wants to marry Liu Jun.

When he came, he had seen Na Gege, who was nineteen years old at the top of the sky, dressed tall and tall, with a delicate face, and every move did not lose the standard style of a royal nobleman.

Now, Gege has been arranged in the place where Li Maolian once lived, and the pro-soldiers who followed the escort have been arranged to stay in the wing rooms and various hotels, and Yi is indeed arranged in the best room in the Governor's Palace. East Wing.

With a snap, he gently covered the tea lid, and Li Hongzhang raised his eyes to look at Yi? With a sad face, he knew what he was worried about.

Smiling slightly, Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "The prince is relieved, I have received a call from Lushun Liu Jun yesterday, and the Beiyang Navy Division has set off to Tianjin, and I believe that tomorrow, the Navy Master will definitely arrive in Tianjin." With the old man's understanding of Liu Jun, he will definitely attach great importance to this marriage from the imperial court. ”

Li Hongzhang guessed not wrong at all, Yi? I'm really worried that Liu Jun will be perfunctory. When the time comes, he will not only slap his own face, but also the face of the court, and let the hot face of the court stick to Liu Jun's cold ass, he is really unwilling. Now hearing Li Hongzhang say this, he was also a little relieved, smiled slightly but did not speak, but picked up the teacup in his hand and tasted it slowly.

The tea is fragrant. Suddenly, a strong aroma wafted through the entire hall. Yi Yi, who was still not at ease in his heart, was not in the mood to taste this fragrant tea, and after a few small chats with Li Hongzhang, he got up to say goodbye and returned to his house.

Looking at Yi? Far away, Li Hongzhang shook his head helplessly and sighed. Pick up the tea in your hand alone and start tasting it slowly.

Yang Shixiang next to him smiled slightly and stepped forward: "What are you sighing about?" ”

Li Hongzhang smiled slightly: "The prince has worked hard for the court all his life, and he has done his best, if it weren't for the weakness of the court, Liu Jun's rabbit cub is powerful, he would not be so busy and anxious." ”

Yang Shixiang nodded and opened the fan in his hand: "My lord is right, now that the imperial court no longer has the coat of fear, the governors are ready to move, and the imperial court has to find a force that makes the governors of various places afraid as a backer to deter the governors of all places." And Liu Jun became the only choice for the imperial court. ”

"What? You can see it, too. Li Hongzhang frowned, he thought that this time the imperial court ignored the ancestral rule that the Manchu and Han could not intermarry. The reason why he wanted to marry Gege to Liu Jun was only visible to him, but he didn't expect Yang Shixiang to understand it.

Smile slightly. Yang Shixiang smiled: "I just thought of each other. ”

Hehehe, the two smiled slightly, and neither side broke it, but picked up the teacup again and tasted the tea that had just been paid tribute from Fujian.

"My lord, someone from the Tianjin wharf has come to inform that the Beiyang Navy Division has arrived in the waters of Tianjin and requests to enter the wharf." Early in the morning, Li Hongzhang, who had not yet gotten up, heard a knock on the door outside his dream and Yang Shixiang's shout.

This fast? Li Hongzhang hesitated, suddenly got up from the bed, got dressed, opened the door, and walked to the hall with Yang Shixiang.

"How many came?" Li Hongzhang was very concerned, how many warships Liu Jun sent this time, he was really worried that Liu Jun, a stunned young man, would assign a warship, which would really slap the face of the court.

"The dock patrol officer reported that the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division was all dispatched and is currently berthed three kilometers away from the pier, waiting for the order to enter the port." Yang Shixiang explained the situation succinctly.

Sigh...... Li Hongzhang let out a long breath, even if Liu Jun's head did not heat up this time, he knew that he would send the main force of the water division. I'm afraid it won't be so sad,

"My lord, but now at the Tianjin wharf, fishing boats and cargo ships are gathered everywhere, which seriously affects the entry of the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division, you see."

"Order, all ships at Tianjin Wharf should leave the wharf within an hour to make room for the Beiyang Naval Division." Li Hongzhang waved his hand, didn't think about it, and issued the order directly.

Yang Shixiang nodded, nodded suddenly, turned around and walked out.

Before the maid brought out the washing water, Li Hongzhang saw Yi? Walked in from the outside.

Waving his hand, he motioned for the maid to wash it later. Li Hongzhang smiled slightly, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Prince, can you accompany me to the dock when you enter." ”

Abundant? A puzzled expression. I don't understand why Li Hongzhang suddenly wants to go to the dock, think about it for a while, Yi? Puzzled, he asked, "Isn't it?" ”

Li Hongzhang nodded.

Abundant? Smiled slightly: "Okay, it's been a few days since I came here, and it's sunny to go to the dock for a walk."

At the wharf in Tianjin, the Qing army with rifles in hand and hats on their heads had already imposed martial law around the wharf, and the other people could only stare at the wharf from afar, looking at the sea with crowds.

These people also knew not long ago that the Beiyang sailors had come to Tianjin, and they heard that they were still the main force, and the curiosity of Tianjin people who loved to see the excitement was suddenly stimulated, and in less than an hour, these people surrounded the place where the wharf could see the sea.

In front of the dock, Li Hongzhang and Yi? Under the protection of a dozen guards, he stood there quietly.

The two of them were dressed in black cloaks, and the beards under their chins were a little messy from time to time by the sea breeze.

Whining.

The last British merchant ship left the docks and began to anchor in the open sea.

"My lord, the dock has been cleared, do you think you can notify the Beiyang Sailor to enter the port?" Yang Shixiang took a step up, right? Li Hongzhang next to him asked in a low voice.

Li Hongzhang nodded: "Yes." ”

Yang Shixiang nodded, and after a while, Li Hongzhang and Yi? I saw that a customs patrol ship with the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Qing Dynasty was quickly sailing outside the port to ride the wind and waves.

Ten minutes later, a deafening whistle was heard in the distance.

Abundant? Although he knew the Beiyang Naval Division, he didn't know how big the Beiyang Naval Division was, and he hadn't been to Tianjin over the years, so it was inevitable that he had some expectations in his heart. He wants to see what kind of virtue the most proud sailor in Li Hongzhang's mouth is.

Woooooooooooo Gradually, it has appeared in Yi? The Hashidate, which I saw, was the first to appear slowly under the traction of the patrol boat.

Oh...... Oooooooooooooooo......oo

Abundant? Before there was any movement, the people in the distance had already begun to cheer to their heart's content.

The Hashidate has been followed by various warships, the bow and stern railings of the warship. , all of them were standing in white sailor uniforms, wearing white gloves, with their hands behind their backs, standing there with a serious face, looking intently at the cheering crowd not far away.

Rumble...... The warship Hashidate, which was in the lead, was the first to fire a salute.

There was another bang, and the salute fired by the Tianjin wharf was a response.

"Salute, a long but confident shout."

With a bang, the soldier who had just put his hands behind his back suddenly put his feet together, and his right hand was neatly raised between his brows.

Uniform, without the slightest clutter, as if it was made by one person.

Abundant? With his mouth wide open, he was already shocked to see the sailors who were entering the dock. Add to this the motionless standing posture of the sailors standing on the warship, Yi? Originally, my heart began to shake constantly, and when I saw the sailors, I saluted.

Abundant? Tremblingly raised his hand and pointed to the bridge number that was about to dock on the dock: "This...... That's what it is...... This is the Beiyang Naval Division......"

See Yi? With that shocked expression, Li Hongzhang was also satisfied in his heart, although now the sailor no longer obeys his own transfer, but it is his own family's, Liu Jun's. Nodding slightly: "Lord Wang, this is the Beiyang Naval Division, the Beiyang Naval Division that defeated the Japanese Combined Fleet." ”

Oh, Yi? While his face was full of excitement, he couldn't help but have a hint of hesitation.
