Chapter 196: The Accountant

Abundant? He was shocked in his heart, he never thought that the ironclad ship of the Beiyang Naval Division would be so huge.

I thought that the ironclad ship was just a little bigger than the inland river division, and there was something with iron on it, where would it be automatic, and the whole body was full of iron, but he took a look at it just now, and the huge and gloomy cannon muzzle, although it was hung with red flowers, but it looked the same, and it still made people feel cold and fluttering.

There are joys and sorrows, although the huge sailor has brought him an incomparably huge shock, the imperial court has such a sailor to guard the sea frontier, and the Great Qing Kingdom does not have to worry about foreign enemies entering, but then, when he thought that this sailor was not something that the imperial court could command, he inevitably hesitated a little in his heart. Abundant? I am worried that if there is another war in the future, this sailor will be a huge threat.

With a creak, the Hashidate finally docked at the dock, and the huge iron anchor thudged to the bottom of the sea.

With a few quagging sounds, the iron anchor had just entered the bottom of the water, and the sailors immediately put the pedals on the shore.

Abundant? After looking at the warship that was already at anchor and mooring and turning off the fire in surprise, Li He and Zhong Lin had already disembarked from the warship and came to Li Hongzhang.

"Lord Nakado. On the order of the marshal, Li Hete led the Beiyang Naval Division to meet Gege. After Li He finished saluting, he replied loudly. As for Yi?, Li He and Zhong Lin didn't know each other, so they pretended not to see it.

This one? Li Hongzhang took a look at the Yishan next to him and found that he was still looking at those ironclad warships. He was worried that Li He's words just now would make this prince mad, after all, this kind of thing, subordinates do not report to the prince, but report to themselves, which is indeed a bit inappropriate.

See Yi? Without showing any dissatisfied expression, Li Hongzhang nodded and asked, "What is Liu Jun's preparations?" ”

Hehe, Zhong Lin smiled: "Ancestor, don't worry, where is the head ready early, and wait for Gege to get married after arriving in Lushun." "Zhong Lin and Li Hongzhang are very familiar, and they are not as constrained as Li He. The speech is also not so serious.

For Zhong Lin, Li Hongzhang understands that Liu Jun's spy leader, although this person is not in charge of military power, but he controls a huge intelligence organization, and he is Liu Jun's henchman, this time Liu Jun can send this person, it can be seen that Liu Jun also attaches great importance to this matter.

Right? After briefly introducing Li He, and focusing on Zhong Lin, after deliberately explaining that Zhong Lin and Li He were Liu Jun's confidants, Li Hongzhang obviously felt that Yi? It's a pleasure.

Being able to send henchmen, rather than a random officer, proves that Liu Jun pays attention to this matter.

Although the dock was guarded, it was not safe, and after a few small talks, Li Hongzhang and others began to return to the relatively safe governor's palace with the support of the guards and the Qing army.

Now that the sailor has arrived, Yi? I wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible, so I discussed with Li Hongzhang and set off early tomorrow morning to escort Gege to Lushun. After the marriage, it is better to return to the capital to hand over the holy decree.

Li Hongzhang also agrees with this, and completing this matter as soon as possible can be regarded as completing a major event in his heart.

The imperial court has already made a truce with Liaodong, and after completing this matter, Liu Jun should do what he should do. I'm happy to be quiet. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for himself, everything else is fine.

The discussion was thus decided, that is, early tomorrow morning, the escort team entered the warship.

And Gege, because it is the big head, is arranged on the Qiaoli number, while Li Hongzhang and Yi are on the Dingyuan number.

After the discussion, everyone began to make intense preparations.

Although the main force of the Beiyang Navy Division was dispatched, it could not be completely installed, so Li Hongzhang and Yi? After discussion, only half of the guards went up, and as for the rest, they waited in Tianjin.

At night in Tianjin, it was already a little cool, Li Hongzhang put on a coat, sat alone in the study, facing the lighting of the two candles on the table, kept writing something, and before he put down the pen in his hand, he saw a black figure blocking his vision. When I looked up, it was Yang Shixiang.

I saw Yang Shixiang wearing a light green silk gown, picking up a fan and standing in front of him.

"Shixiang, is there anything you want me to do?" Li Hongzhang put down the brush in his hand. He asked, picking up the teacup on the table.

"My lord, the German minister, the British minister, and the French minister have called, hoping to attend Liu Jun's wedding.

What the? Li Hongzhang frowned, he didn't expect that this time Liu Jun's wedding, ministers from all countries asked to participate.

After a little thought, Li Hongzhang figured everything out.

Liu Jun not only defeated Japan, but also ate the Northeast in this battle with the imperial court, so that the powers of various countries smelled a good spokesperson, and now they all hope to have a good relationship with Liu Jun, and now, such a good reason, these countries will let it go.

Smiling slightly, Li Hongzhang took a sip of tea: "If they want to go, let's go, tell them that they will go to the Dingyuan warship at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and you will deal with the things that greet them." ”

Yang Shixiang nodded, turned around and walked out.

Li Hongzhang, who was left alone, thought of the ministers of various countries attending this wedding, smiled slightly and shook his head, thinking in his heart that he didn't expect Liu Jun, a rabbit cub, to have such a big face, and even the ministers of various countries would stammer.

At the Tianjin wharf, the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division moored at the wharf have begun to raise fire. The billowing smoke has turned Tianjin's originally white sky into a miasma.

At half past seven, Gege wore a big red wedding dress, and with the support of several women and maids, he stepped on the pedal and took the lead in entering the warship Hashidate, which was moored at the No. 1 pier.

Abundant? As soon as he got up in the morning, he dressed properly, followed Li Hongzhang to the dock in a sedan chair, and boarded the Dingyuan, but before he had a cup of tea, he saw that several foreigners also got on the Dingyuan under the guidance of Yang Shixiang, and those foreigners all had entourage, carrying boxes.

"This is the two huge 305mm cannons of the Dingyuan on the bridge? Raised his eyes and looked at the foreigner who came up, raised his hand and asked the general Li Hongzhang suspiciously.

"They are ministers of various countries, and they are also going to Lushun to attend Liu Jun's wedding." Li Hongzhang pointed and introduced the ministers who came up.

Other Yi? Didn't listen, Yi? Just know one, Liu Jun, sooner or later he will become a big trouble for the imperial court again. And it's a fatal disaster.

Li Hongzhang did not have so many concerns, in his opinion, he could get the approval of ministers from various countries and ask to attend the wedding of his grandson-in-law. Li Hongzhang also thought that Liu Jun gave him a long face, so he immediately walked up happily and greeted the ministers of various countries.

Needless to say, Klinder has the best relationship with Liaodong now, so Li Hongzhang inevitably said a few more words to Clinde.

Clinder went to Lushun this time, to congratulate Liu Jun is one aspect, and there is another aspect, that is, to ask for things, Liu Jun flickered away more than a dozen of his cargo ships at that time, and said that he would give the drawings, but until now, he didn't even see a fart. Not to mention the problem with drawings. I wanted to go to Lushun several times, but I got the news that Liu Jun was not in Lushun, and he had to wait, this time, he would not give up this opportunity, so he immediately asked Germany to participate in Liu Jun's wedding.

For this secret ally in the Far East, Wilhelm II waved his hand, agreed not to say anything, and asked Klinder to prepare a big gift. Send a Liu Jun.

On the warship Hashidate, after Li He sent Gege to the best cabin, he walked out and took a look at the escorts and relatives who were still landing.

Turning around, Li He asked Yan Fu, who was standing next to him: "How long will it take to land, and will those dowries be on the ship?" ”

Yan Fu nodded: "The dowry has all been loaded into the Bu Toad, and the escorted Qing army will probably take an hour." ”

"Order, after leaving the port in a while, the toad will be in Dingyuan, and the town will be far away."

Yan Fu understood this meaning too well, Li He was worried that the Bu Toad would be attacked, so if the dowry on it was gone, I was afraid that if he went back, he didn't dare to imagine Li He's storm in the face of Liu Jun.

Smiling slightly, Yan Fu nodded and began to convey orders.

An hour later, as the last escort team boarded the warship, Li He gave the order to pull out.

Woo woo. Woowoo...... The sound of the whistle is the signal to set sail.

Whoa...... Whoa...... The huge iron anchor gradually surfaced under the pull of the sailors. is fixed in one place.

A creak, a slight shaking, made the warship Hashidate slowly leave the dock and leave the dock first.
