"Good boy, come and sit down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Lin Puqing patted the side of his bed and said to Chen Wan with a smile.

Chen Wan answered softly and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Kunyu has a letter lately?" Lin Puqing asked.

"Oh...... Yes, but not letters, but telegrams. Chen Wan replied.

"Telegram?" Lin Puqing was stunned.

"My aunt didn't know that this telegram was a communication tool made by foreigners, and it was instantaneous. Like Kunyu is now in England, if Wan'er communicates by letter, the fastest round trip will be more than three months, and it is extremely convenient to use this telegram to communicate. It was Kunyu who had been communicating with Wan'er by telegram, but this telegraph line only went to Hong Kong, and it needed to be translated in Hong Kong and sent to Fuzhou by ship at the slowest in seven days. It can soothe the pain of lovesickness a little. ”

Hearing Chen Wan's emotion, Lin Puqing couldn't help but smile.

In fact, this is the performance of a loving young couple.

"And what did he say to you in this telegram?" Lin Puqing asked with a smile.

"It's mostly some daily experience, although Wan'er didn't go abroad this time, she has also gained a lot of knowledge." Chen Wan remembered what Lin Yizhe said to herself in the telegram, and her face couldn't help but feel a little feverish.

"He didn't say anything about his marriage in England?" Lin Puqing turned the conversation to the matter that Chen Wan was most entangled in.

"A recent telegram, a few words......" Chen Wan lowered her head.

"What did he say?"

"He said that the daughter of the Lu family is devoted to Yu, and his father is to marry the queen mother, and the two palaces are allowed, and the public and private are not violated......" Chen Wan's voice lowered, and Lin Puqing could not hear the following words.

"Did you cry today? Isn't it? Lin Puqing looked at Chen Wan, whose eyes were slightly red, smiled and took her hand, and asked softly.

"Hmm." Chen Wan's face flushed slightly, and she nodded with a smile.

"Is it for this fate?" Lin Puqing seemed to have guessed her mind and asked with a smile.

Chen Wan nodded and shook her head again.

"Wan'er, do you know what the queen mother gave you the title for?" Lin Puqing asked.

"The queen mother is afraid that Wan'er will be sad, so she is giving an edict to appease...... Chen Wan whispered what she thought in her heart.

"There's that in it, but it's not all about it." Lin Puqing said with a smile.

"That's ......" Chen Wan looked at Lin Puqing, and Lin Puqing's eyes were full of love at this time, which made Chen Wan's heart warm.

"The queen mother gave you the reward of the three-grade edict woman, in fact, she was afraid that you would not be in the position of the main room, and she was afraid that the side room would override you in the future." Lin Puqing said, "If you don't have the identity of this fateful lady, I'm afraid that once the overseas one comes back, in the name of the queen mother's marriage, he will crush you." ”

Chen Wan was so smart that she immediately understood.

"Wan'er, you are the main room of the Yuan, and you have both children and daughters, Kunyu loves you very much, but there is no such fate, the Lu family sees you, and you must also bow to see you, he Lu has a foothold overseas, ****** does not have much foundation, but you have something to rely on in England, her status cannot be compared with you." Lin Puqing said eloquently, "What's more, now you have a destiny with you." The queen mother is so favored, why should Wan'er bother? ”

"Wan'er, Kunyu didn't discuss with you this time, don't blame him. He is a person who wants to do great things, and he must have his own hardships in doing so. He Lu can ask the two palaces to marry this time, and there must be a mystery in this. So you have to be considerate of Kunyu, you husband and wife are one, one is lost, one is prosperous, and the two are of the same heart, so that they can break the gold, do you understand? ”

"Wan'er understands......" Chen Wan remembered the words in Lin Yizhe's telegram "Both public and private, inviolable", and her heart was fluttering, realizing that she was only entangled in the appearance of things, and she didn't think deeply, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Lin Puqing saw Chen Wan's eyebrows stretched, knowing that her heart knot had been opened, and she was relieved for a while.

"Catch Ming'er and bring Yuxi and Guanchen and let me take a look." Lin Puqing no longer talked about it, but turned the topic to the child, "It's been a few days, it's weird." ”

"Wan'er is afraid that they will be naughty and disturb her aunt's recovery." Chen Wan smiled and said, "Ming'er Wan'er will bring them over." ”

"I've been in the house all day, I'm a little depressed, I see you're sweating too, Wan'er, open the window, breathe." Lin Puqing said.

Chen Wan got up in response, came to the window, gently opened the wooden carved window sash, and the breeze blew on her, she couldn't help but close her eyes, deeply intoxicated by this faint freshness, the unhappiness in her heart also disappeared with the breeze.

Hong Jun's "Diary of the West": "...... Qin Xian called the General Administration, and the ship donated by the British king had been received, so please send someone to pick it up as soon as possible. On the same day, British Prime Minister Yamen informed him that Italy had arrested the remaining three murderers and sent them to England in the near future, asking me to receive them. In addition to the encouragement of the General Administration, Qinxian was instructed to visit Prussia at the invitation of the Prussian lord to show his friendship. Qin Xian and Yu discussed that Lu Wenjing would take the ship in Portsmouth, so as to wait for the crew to come, and after the run-in was practiced, he would sail back to China; The Italians were transported back to China by the 'Fubo' ship first. Qin Xian and Yu took the ship 'Weiyuan' to Puguo by sea. After everything is done, go back to England and return to China together......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The sea breeze blows, the mist begins to lift, and the port of Kiel presents a busy scene. The sailors were preparing for the sailing of a cruiser of more than two thousand tons.

It was a three-masted steam-powered cruiser, outwardly with strong British roots, but on its mast was the Black Eagle flag of the Prussian Navy.

This cruiser did come from the United Kingdom, it was originally the cruiser "Jason" of the British Royal Navy, with a displacement of 2,431 tons, equipped with 20 8-inch guns, it was an old ship completed in 1860, but now it is the "Gfian" of the Prussian Navy.

After the Prussian Navy was completely annihilated by the French Navy at a negligible cost in the Franco-Prussian War, the Prussian Navy became the laughing stock of the whole of Europe, and the Prussians were deeply ashamed, and the war greatly consumed Prussia's national strength, although the Prussian King William I wanted to rebuild the navy, but had to first face the more difficult problem of post-war national recovery, the naval reconstruction plan was shelved, and a large number of naval personnel were transferred for other purposes. It was not until the French Emperor Napoleon IV held an enthronement ceremony and invited Prussia to send ships to participate in the parade that Prussia suddenly discovered that the Prussian Navy did not even have a single ship that could handle it.

In order to avoid embarrassment, the Prussian government urgently purchased the cruiser "Jason", which had been in service for 10 years, from Britain, and finally coped with the matter of the parade. But now the trouble of the Prussian Navy has come again, and that is the visit of the Chinese mission.

After the assassination of the Chinese mission in Paris had been properly resolved, King Wilhelm I of Prussia instructed Prime Minister Wilhelm I of Prussia to send an invitation to the Chinese government to visit Berlin, the capital of Prussia, after the Chinese mission in Europe had visited Britain. Yamen, the prime minister of the Qing Empire, readily agreed, and sent a telegram instructing the mission to go to Berlin.

The Chinese mission in Britain was preparing to go to Prussia on a warship as usual, and the Prussian government was once again embarrassed when it learned that the Chinese mission had arrived on two warships. This is because, according to international practice, the Prussian Navy is to send two warships to accompany the visit. And now in the entire Prussian Navy, there is only one warship that can be used, the "Gefion"!

Fortunately, the Chinese were more understanding and solved this trouble for the Prussians, because the transport ship "Fubo" would carry some of the treasures of the Old Summer Palace returned by Britain and the murderers extradited from Italy to China, so only one warship "Weiyuan" visited Prussia. The Prussians were relieved when they learned the news.

As the sun rose, a young German naval officer stood on the flybridge of the "Gfian" and looked at his familiar harbor with a slightly melancholy gaze.

His name, Alfred? Feng? Tirpitz.

It was here four years ago that he returned to port for the first time with his torpedo boat.

It was also here that he met for the first time those dark-eyed, youthful naval cadets.

He remembered Captain Zweig, who was supposedly serious, but in fact always slightly tired and somewhat cynical, and who commanded "Cornish? Ironclad "William".

It was here, when he became the commander of the torpedo boat fleet, that he first heard King William's words to everyone: "Young soldiers, the future of each of you depends on your own efforts. Do not disappoint the expectations of the Motherland! ”

It used to be so busy at this port. The new ship, still scaffolded, was delicately decorated, quietly and joyfully awaiting its maiden voyage. The child, who had grown up in the pure air of Brandenburg, looked excitedly at all this with his bright eyes. This was the inaugural era of the Prussian Navy, and the era of their generation.

And now, the seabirds with no one in sight are standing on the empty scaffolding, and everyone is so confused.

When the French evacuated Kiel, they dismantled everything that could be dismantled, and as for what could not be dismantled, they blew it all up. The gates and control rooms of the naval dockyard, the workshops and cranes of the shipyard were all "carefully" blown into a twisted wreckage by the French. To make matters worse, the French also had the vicious sinking of several captured merchant ships at the entrance to the channel of the port of Kiel.

When Kiel was "restored", all people could see was the ruins of the walls. According to estimates by the Port of Kiel Redevelopment Board, it will take at least a year and a half and a significant amount of money to restore the facilities at Port Kiel.

It was only when the Chinese came this time that the wreckage and shipping channel of Kiel Harbor had just been cleared.
