Seeing the Praetorian Guards who were pushing together with the people in the distance, and Liu Jun's reaction, Zhong Lin knew that Wang Wei had done something wrong, and it was something that made Liu Jun easily angry.

Pointing at Wang Wei, who was still in a daze, Zhong Lin smiled: "You are looking for death, you touch the bottom line of your head." ”

Wang Wei's face turned pale suddenly, he really didn't know where he didn't do it.

Looking at this pale-faced Wang Wei, Zhong Lin did not stay at the hotel but said lightly: "Immediately order the removal of martial law." ”

"Remove martial law, that handsome" Wang Wei's eyes widened.

"What I hate the most is that I can't contact the people, you do this, not to let him distance himself from the people, if you don't want to die, you will listen to me." After Zhong Lin finished speaking, he didn't speak, but lightly slapped the horsewhip and caught up with Liu Jun.

"Herald."

Hula, the Lushun army, which was desperately intercepting the people just now, suddenly received an order and began to assemble and walk out.

Seeing this scene, Liu Jun smiled again.

Greeted Baixin who was crowded over, Liu Jun found that an old man was wearing a thin shirt and shivered slightly in the cold wind but still looked at him with a kind face, his heart was sour, Liu Jun quickly took off the cloak on his body, and draped it on the old man at once, and then came to the selected stake with Wu Xiao.

In front of the wooden stake, there were already two Lushun soldiers pulling up a piece of red cloth, waiting where, as soon as they saw Liu Jun coming up, a soldier immediately handed over the scissors in his hand.

There was no sound of cannons, only the crackling of firecrackers and the cheers of the people.

After the ribbon cutting, Liu Jun, who was rarely with the people, took this opportunity to not only have a long talk with the people, but also had lunch at a people's house before returning to Lushun.

The day was getting cooler and cooler day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was November 1895.

The cold wind is desolate, the sea breeze is howling, the wind blows on the people, not to mention the shivering all over, it is even more uncomfortable, and the Lushun Headquarters, the main organs of various places, have already lit charcoal fires.

Liu Jun's office is the same, a fiery red charcoal fire is crackling.

With a creak, the door was pushed open suddenly, and a gust of cold wind poured in, blowing the heating inside without a trace.

Liu Junmeng, who was picking up the charcoal and preparing to put it in the charcoal brazier, was verbose, and when he saw that it was Zhong Lin, Liu Jun suddenly became angry.

Not only did this guy not knock on the door, but he also opened the door so wide, he was deliberate.

"What the hell are you" Before the words could be spoken, Zhong Lin suddenly closed the door and ran to Liu Jun.

"Head, Li He wants to see you." Zhong Lin interrupted Liu Jun's words at the beginning.

Li He, Liu Jun frowned suddenly, Li He generally doesn't look for himself if he doesn't have anything, and when he finds himself, things are not ordinary.

"Let him in." Thinking of this, Liu Jun suddenly put aside the tongs in his hand and shrunk into a ball.

After a few squeaks, they were opened again, and Li He, who was wearing a white navy uniform and a white cloak, walked in at once, and after the salute, Li He sat next to Liu Jun and handed out a document.

"The sailor is going south?" Seeing a few eye-catching titles, Liu Jun suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, not understanding why Li He brought up the matter of the sailor going south.

In fact, Liu Jun has never been clear that every winter, the Beiyang Navy Division will go south, and before the flag removal incident occurs, the Beiyang Navy Division will take refuge in Hong Kong. After the flag removal incident, those who went south to Hong Kong came to naught, and eventually the Beiyang Navy Division was stationed in Fujian and Guangdong, and after the severe cold in the north passed, they returned to the base.

This is done primarily for the maintenance of warships.

Hearing the reason why Li He went south, Liu Jun nodded, he didn't have any reason to refuse Li He's request, he swiped his name and handed over the document to Li He, Liu Jun asked a very important question. Where does the sailor go.

The relationship with the imperial court has broken down, although it seems to be calm now, but everyone can see that now the imperial court and themselves are well water and do not violate the river water, you take your Yangguan Road, I take my single-plank bridge.

If you want to go south, there are only two places, one is Huangpu, where the Guangdong Navy Division is stationed, and the other is Mawei, which is the Fujian Navy Division.

This is the real reason why Li Helai came, and he also knows the relationship with the imperial court now, so today, he is asking Liu Jun for approval of the news of the sailor's southward trip, and the second is to ask the sailor to moor.

Could it be that Liu Jun couldn't give an answer all of a sudden, Liu Jun wanted Li He to go back and prepare first, and when he had an answer, he would notify the water master.

Li He nodded and walked out of the room.

Where should I go, nowhere is not my territory, Liu Jun closed his eyes depressedly.

Zhong Lin saw Liu Jun's painful expression on his face, and asked Liu Jun to pour a cup of hot tea: "Head, why don't you go to your grandfather?" ”

Looking for him, what are you looking for him, Liu Jun suddenly blurred.

Tianjin is far away from Lushun, and you can't drive the sailor to Tianjin, it has a fart effect.

"Head, your grandfather and brother are the governors of Liangguang, if"

Smack, before Zhong Lin finished speaking, he saw Liu Jun rushing out of the office like a rocket.

Tianjin Governor's Mansion, although the cold wind is howling outside, and the dead branches and leaves are hung in the sky from time to time, Li Hongzhang's study does have a hole, not to mention the cold, it is like a warm spring inside.

In the study, three pots of charcoal fire are being extinguished and burning, and the cold air of the whole room will be out of the house.

With a creak, the closed door was obviously opened, and Li Hongzhang, who was handling official business, looked up and saw Yang Shixiang, who was indeed wearing cotton clothes.

Putting down the pen in his hand, just as he was about to say hello, he saw Yang Shixiang come to him, handed out a telegram and said, "My lord, Liu Jun sent an urgent call, I hope you can help him?" ”

Help him, Li Hongzhang frowned suddenly, now he has no silver on him, not to mention, even if there is, the court is now looking at it so closely, and it is not good for him to give it blatantly.

"What did he say?" Although he knew that he couldn't give it, Li Hongzhang still couldn't help but ask Yang Shixiang.

"Liu Jun asks you to send a telegram to the Governor of Liangguang, asking the Governor of Liangguang to agree to the Beiyang Naval Division to go south to avoid winter."

Beiyang Sailors going south? Li Hongzhang was petrified on the spot all of a sudden, not that he didn't know that the Beiyang Sailor needed to go south every year, but that he didn't expect that Liu Jun actually asked him to send a telegram to his brother to accommodate him.

Smiling slightly, Li Hongzhang turned around and picked up the pen, spread out the rice paper, and after writing a few words, he taught Yang Shixiang and said: "You go and send a newspaper, tell Liu Jun, and let the sailor branch in Liangguang'an." ”

Yang Shixiang nodded. Turn around and walk out the door.

Regarding the issue of the Beiyang Naval Division going south, Li Hongzhang did not have any reason to refuse, after all, this is his own fleet, although the Beiyang Naval Division is not under its own jurisdiction, but it was also formed by himself.

This time, Li Hongzhang was not worried that the imperial court would 2 his own troubles, but the Beiyang Naval Division belonged to the Great Qing Dynasty, unless the imperial court dared to blatantly say that the Beiyang Naval Division did not belong to the Great Qing Navy. But Li Hongzhang knew that the imperial court would never dare.

This time, Li Hongzhang knew that even if he issued an order to let the Guangdong Navy Master accept the Beiyang Navy Division, the imperial court could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and he endured it.

Smiling slightly, Li Hongzhang seemed to see the helpless but had to agree face of the imperial court, turned back to his position, Li Hongzhang spread out the rice paper, and began to write a chapter, a piece of music about the Beiyang Sailors going south.

Lushun Headquarters, Zhong Lin looked at Liu Jun with a surprised expression. My heart was full of doubts. Just now, Liu Jun told himself that he was going to go south to Fujian with the Beiyang Naval Division. The major military and political affairs of Lushun will be entrusted to Zhong Lin and Wu Datong for management.

"Head, are you really not taking me this time?" Looking at Liu Jun sitting on the Taishi chair, Zhong Lin looked aggrieved, for the first time, for the first time in so long, he couldn't accompany Liu Jun for the first time.

Liu Jun nodded, this time he went to Fujian, without Zhong Lin, it was also a last resort, after all, now the commanders of the corps are outside, and Li He, who he trusts, will also go south this time, and Lushun, there is only one Wu Datong left, Wu Datong is a good hand in politics, but in military affairs, he doesn't know anything. can only leave Zhong Lin in charge of military power.

"Don't worry, I'll go to Fujian this time, and I'll be back as soon as I'm done." Seeing Zhong Lin's aggrieved face, Liu Jun smiled slightly and stood up and patted his shoulder.

"Head, what are you doing in Fujian this time?" Zhong Lin looked puzzled, seeing that he really couldn't go this time, he could only let go of this matter and ask Liu Jun about the purpose of going to Fujian this time.

Liu Jun didn't speak, but walked to the window and looked at the clouds floating in the south, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Lao Tzu went to dig the corner of the wall this time." ”
