This news is indeed good news, and even Liu Jun, who did not speak, stood up and turned around and walked to the map.

If Cheng Wenqi is really willing to submit, then Hotan will be able to settle it peacefully. And Luo Dacheng's corps will be able to enter Hotan without bloodshed, and then where to station, waiting for the order to enter Tibet, and once Hotan is taken, then Tibet is at your fingertips at any time. And Wu Peifu in Urumqi can also mobilize troops and enter Qinghai. All of this looks so good.

"Head, do you want Wu Peifu to send someone to Hetian?" Seeing that Liu Jun didn't speak for a long time, Zhong Lin stepped forward and asked.

Seeing Liu Jun nodding, Zhong Lin turned around and walked out.

Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, saw Zhong Lin walk out, came to Liu Jun in a few steps, bowed his head and pondered for a while, and said: "Cheng Wenqi is Pan Xiaosu's henchman, even if he submits to Liaodong, aren't you afraid that one day he will make a comeback?" ”

Fear. How can I not be afraid, but now the overall situation is important, how is Cheng Wenqi powerful, as long as he is not given military power, even if he has the ability, he can't set off a huge wave, here to say, once the time is ripe, he will be transferred to Lushun, at that time, even if he is capable, under his nose, he will not dare to do anything?

"What can I do, do you want to kill him, doing so will make the generals who surrender in the future feel cold, forget it, I, Liu Jun, am very angry, and I can tolerate him." Waving his hand slightly, Liu Jun signaled that this matter would end here, and not to mention it again.

At the dock in the distance, there was a whistle, and Liu Jun, who heard this sound, remembered that today was the day when the Beiyang Naval Division and the German fleet returned.

"By the way, did Jiang Chaoying lead the fleet south?" Without asking about the Beiyang Naval Division, Liu Jun turned around and asked Zheng Yiqian, about Jiang Chaoying's fleet.

The fleet led by Jiang Chaoying, which was his first fleet overseas, although the strength is the worst now, Liu Jun has already issued orders to Fuzhou and Dalian, and the task of the two shipyards now is to build three armored cruisers and one battleship for Jiang Chaoying's Pacific Fleet within three years. After all, in the future, this person in the Pacific Fleet will be much more responsible than the Beiyang Naval Division.

"Li Hanzhang called, the fleet had already departed last night."

That's good, nodding slightly, Liu Jun glanced at Zheng Yiqian: "You go and tell Zhong Lin in a while, let the people at the Hawaii station be sure to receive this fleet, he will be the pioneer officer of Lao Tzu galloping across the ocean in the future." ”

On the surface of the South China Sea, the breeze blew, and the Yellow Dragon Flags on the mast were blown loudly. On the bridge of the armored cruiser Bu Chan, Jiang Chaoying, who was dressed in a white rear admiral uniform, quietly let the sea breeze blow his cheeks, motionlessly picked up the telescope in his hand to look, and from time to time looked at the Pingyuan and the Flying Eagle Flying Leopard Flying Tiger that followed around the Bu Toad not far away.

"Commander, we're going to leave the South China Sea in an hour." The first mate walked over and said quietly.

Nanhai, which means that he is about to leave the territory of the motherland, Jiang Chaoying, who heard this, put down the telescope in his hand. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Jiang Chaoying took a deep breath. He looked at the first mate beside him and said, "Once we leave the South China Sea, we will spend most of our time in Hawaii in the future, do you regret joining the sailor?" ”

Jiang Chaoying's first mate was also a person who came out of the Fujian Naval Division, and even participated in the Battle of Majiang that year, when he was still the gunner on Xu Shoushan's powerful ship. And now, he has become a colonel in the Liaodong Navy.

"What did the commander say, when our Fujian Naval Division, half an hour to let the French fleet defeat, this has always been a pain in my heart, I thought that since then my Fujian Naval Division will not raise its head in the day, but since the commander took charge of the Naval Division, Beiyang has it. We have, and now, not only do we have the largest fleet in Asia, but we also go to sea and build bases abroad, so I don't regret it, and when I left home, I already had my family arranged, so I don't regret it. ”

Well, Jiang Chaoying heard his first mate say this, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, he didn't think so, the battle back then was not only him, but also the shame of the Beiyang Naval Division.

"Give orders to all ships, when they leave the South China Sea, all of them will fire their cannons, and we will use the sound of cannons to tell the country and the commander that we will definitely show the prestige of our navy in Hawaii." After saying this, Jiang Chaoying turned around and left the bridge and returned to the conning tower.

"Okay." The first mate nodded vigorously, turned and walked down.

Time passed little by little, and an hour later, the fleet came to the vicinity of the Dark Sands of Great-Mother.

At the same time as the huge whistle sounded, the two huge guns of the ship's book still slowly turned.

The shells fired by the guns were the signal, and the warships that followed closely after saw the salvo of the flagship, and immediately fired the loaded shells.

Boom, three kilometers away, a column of water more than ten meters high formed a wall of water, beating the sea surface in the distance like boiling water, tumbling endlessly.

Hetian, it was already late at night, but Cheng Wenqi's room was still flickering by candlelight. By his side, now stands as his right-hand man.

And on his desk, there was already a letter, and this letter, since he received it, he had read it back and forth twice.

The letter was written by Wu Peifu, commander of the Liaodong Army's Western Advance Corps, and the meaning of it was very clear, that is, he hoped that he would not let the people be devastated by the war for the sake of the people of Hotan, and hoped that he could lay down his arms and return to Liaodong.

When he didn't come, he wanted to surrender, but when the real letter of persuasion was delivered to him, Cheng Wenqi hesitated, he knew very well that there was no mention of his future arrangements at all.

What is the purpose of his surrender, he is not just an official, but this letter does not mention anything other than to convert himself.

"My lord, what the hell are we going to do?" The deputy clenched the waist knife in his hand and asked quietly.

What to do, to return to obedience or not to surrender, Cheng Wenqi began to think in his heart.

Maybe the deputy saw Cheng Wenqi's thoughts, thought about it slightly, and the deputy stepped forward and said: "My lord, during this time, people who return to Liaodong will have a good future, you see that the original Jiumen Admiral Nie Shicheng is not the current commander of the Liaodong First Corps, in charge of tens of thousands of people, and the Urumqi general, who is not an officer of the Liaodong Army now." ”

This is the case, but Cheng Wenqi is worried. The one who delayed was not to speak.

"My lord, to understand it, do we have the conditions to compete with Liaodong?" The deputy muttered to himself and said something that made Cheng Wenqi completely cold.
