Chapter 219: The Mood of Returning Home
The breeze was whistling, looking at the crying and shouting of the Chinese people on the shore, Liu Junzai couldn't help his mood.
For many years, these Chinese have been like children without mothers, and the country regards them as remnants and never cares about their life or death. They can settle down here, how much blood and tiredness, and now, they lead the fleet to call the shots for them, so that they suddenly feel in their hearts that they still have a home, and they are still the people of the Great Qing Kingdom.
Sad, Liu Jun is really sad, maybe these people don't know that this time, they came by themselves and didn't get the consent of the court. A tear slowly slid down.
Aixinjue Luo Ruojing, who was next to her, saw Liu Jun's tears, stood on tiptoe gently, took out a white silk handkerchief, and asked Liu Jun to wipe away his tears.
Looking at Aixin Jueluo's flushed face and worried eyes, Liu Jun smiled slightly: "It's okay." I just felt uncomfortable. ”
Although Aixinjue Luo Ruojing did not speak, she could see that she was not such a diffraction, she had lived for so many years, and she had never heard that there were so many people in the Qing Dynasty overseas.
Woowoo...... The Woo Woo Hashili was the first to sail out of the dock, followed by the Beiyang Naval Division, and the Lushun boarder, who had been detained for nearly 20 days, all slowly left the dock and began to sail eastward.
As soon as the fleet left Manila, it immediately formed two long lines, led by the Hashidate and Dingyuan. Slowly increase the horsepower. Go to Guangzhou.
On the deck of the Hashitachi, Liu Jun, who had been away from Manila for a day, had recovered from the shock of leaving Manila yesterday as a Chinese, and now, he was standing on the deck, listening to the report of his father-in-law.
Wu Xiaoyan's old man now knows that accompanying his son-in-law is the Qing Dynasty Gege who has just married, and Wu Xiaoyan's father did not express his dissatisfaction with Liu Jun's marriage to another room, but was happy, after all, the Qing Dynasty has been founding for so many years, and his son-in-law is still the first one to marry a Han person.
This time, he led the merchant ships, together with the German escort fleet, to Europe, and sold all the materials, excluding the cost, a total of two million taels of silver, and then according to Liu Jun's meaning, he bought a total of some pig iron and some seamless steel pipes. Another 500,000 taels bought some products from Europe. And the others, take them back to Lushun.
Liu Jun heard that a transportation was so profitable, and his heart was immediately excited, in his opinion, if he ran a few times, it would be directly financial, and he would not be so nervous.
Slightly let people send down their father-in-law, Liu Jun came to the cockpit of the Hashidate.
In the cockpit, Li He had been commanding the Hashidate, and when he saw Liu Jun, Li He handed over the work to the first mate, and then accompanied Liu Jun and Aixin Jueluo to the captain's office.
Looking at Li He standing in front of him, Liu Jun smiled slightly, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Lao Li, after arriving in the waters of Guangzhou, I won't go to Guangzhou." ”
What the? Li He's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't understand why Liu Jun didn't enter Guangzhou with his fleet,
Liu Jun actually thought about it yesterday, he has been away from Lushun for nearly 20 days, although Lushun has Zhong Lin, Wu Datong and others are in charge of government and military affairs, but there are some things that Zhong Lin and others can decide. So he decided that after being in the waters of Guangzhou, he would get on a merchant ship and go straight back to Lushun.
"No, Marshal, merchant ships don't have any protection, and once they encounter difficulties, the consequences are unimaginable, I don't agree." Li He resolutely refused. After all, this is related to Liu Jun's safety, and he can't be sloppy.
Just seeing Liu Jun's resolute eyes, Li He also knew that he couldn't keep it, so he could only take a step back and say: "It's okay to go back, you have to take a warship back."
Liu Jun did not deny this, after all, Li He also thought about him.
After solving this matter, Liu Jun suddenly felt much more relaxed, and when several people came to the deck, Liu Jun saw the troop transport ship not far away in a blink of an eye, and all the Qing troops who were going to Manila this time were carried.
Although this time it was to exterminate the natives and avenge the Chinese, there were also nearly 500 casualties, and for the Qing army killed overseas, Liu Jun cremated them in line with the meaning of returning to their roots, and then brought them back to Guangzhou.
Looking at the spirit flags floating on the two transport ships, Liu Jun pointed and said to Li He next to him: "At this time, the Guangdong army has contributed, and we don't want the finances they got in Manila, let them share it all, and in addition, the 50,000 taels of silver that they got from the Spanish governor will also take out 10,000 taels, and give them to them when the time comes." ”
Li He did not have any objection, after all, this time, the battle on the shore was all the army, but his own navy had been staying in the sea, monitoring the Manila shore batteries and the Manila fleet, and did not make any efforts.
"By the way, where is that Qin Liang." Caught off guard, Liu Jun remembered Qin Liang, who had been beaten at that time.
Li He smiled slightly: "Da Shuai, you have always told me that you want to get him to Lushun, so I didn't let him get on the transport ship, but on the Qiaoli, did Da Shuai want to see him." ”
Liu Jun nodded, after all, this said that it was going to be dug up, but he generally asked what people meant.
After a while, Qin Liang, who was dressed in a red military uniform, came to the deck, and when he saw where Liu Junhe and Gege and Li He were, his heart skipped a beat, and he still stepped forward to salute.
Looking at this Qin Liang, who was not a few years older than himself, and observing for a while, Liu Jun smiled slightly: "Would you like to go to Lushun with me?" ”
"Yes." Qin Liang didn't even think about it.
These days, he has seen that Liu Jun is a heinous bad person, he also felt so at first, but after a few days, he found that Liu Jun is not only a benevolent person, but also a person who loves the people, his parents who have lived in the countryside since he was a child told him that he must do things for the people, but over the years, what he has done as a soldier, he himself is a little speechless, until he met Liu Jun, he felt in his heart that with Liu Jun, he can do good things for the people.
"Okay, you go and change into a set of military uniforms, Lao Tzu Lushun Army, I don't like to change into army uniforms like this, for the time being, you can hang up the rank of colonel, and then report to Pyongyang." Liu Jun nodded slightly. and motioned for Qin Liang to go down.
Woo woo woo hashitachi sounded the whistle again. The quiet sea suddenly made some noise.
The sun is blazing, and although the weather in the south is already winter, there are still temperatures in the twenties.
Liu Jun, who was afraid of the sun, immediately entered the room and did not come out.
Woooooooo
"Dashuai, we have arrived at the dark sands of our great-mother." Li He, who had already left the motherland, ran in excitedly.
When he got home, as soon as Liu Jun heard these words, he jumped up from the chair happily, and then pulled up Aixinjue Luo Ruojing and came to the bridge.
"Where," Li He handed Liu Jun a telescope and pointed to a coral reef in the distance.
Okay, okay, it's finally home. No place is as good as your hometown, not as good as your own motherland.
"Shoot the cannon, tell the motherland, we are back with revenge."
"Okay." With a smile on his face, Li Hele ran to give the order.
This time it may be too boring and boring, which makes this group of sailors panic, Liu Jun clearly saw that the 320 mm main gun was slowly turning.
This group of **** losers, Liu Jun scolded in his heart, and suddenly hugged Aixinjue Luo Ruojing, he was worried that this huge roar would frighten her.
There was a burst of orange-red firelight, bringing up thick white smoke.
In the distance, a column of water rising to a height of tens of meters soared into the sky. It makes people feel the power of a cannon giant ship again.
Entering the southern Xinjiang of the motherland, Liu Jun suddenly had a familiar feeling, although he had only been away for less than 20 days, but this seemed to have been gone for a long time in his heart.
Not afraid of the heat, Liu Jun stood alone on the bridge and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the South China Sea.
Woo woo
The huge military and civilian fleet, sounding the whistle from time to time, began to drive towards the channel not far from the dark sand of Zengmu, and drove in the direction of Guangdong.
