Lu Yingyan's body shrank, and her crying instantly became weaker. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I know you're high-spirited and don't want to be small, but people don't want to wronged you! It's said that you married a flat wife! What else do you want? Lu Zhongheng said angrily, "A backward like him, who already has an official body, has a bright future, how can he not marry in his early twenties?" Do you know who his partner is? The grandnephew and granddaughter of the old man of the Chen family, the only daughter of the Shaanxi envoy of the Qing Dynasty! You have to be the main room, unless you let him divorce his wife!" Do you think this can be done? Not to mention that he is a loving and righteous person, how can he abandon the main room for your sake?! ”

Hearing her father's reprimand, Lu Yingyan cried again.

"People come to see you every day, and you don't see you behind closed doors, what's the matter? Other people, you can be by your temperament, but people are **** Qincha! It's a blessing to be able to take a fancy to you! Don't you know how thick the sky is! The more Lu Zhongheng spoke, the more angry he became, "When the time comes, I really annoy others, and if I don't pay attention to you, I won't regret taking the medicine when I look back!" ”

"Oops! Master! Master! What are you talking about? Mrs. Lu said urgently.

"Think for yourself! The envoy went to Pugang today to receive the ship donated by the British king, and asked me to bring you a message, saying that when I came back in a few days, I would come to see you, and you would give me less such a look when the time comes! It's stuffy! ”

Mrs. Lu stepped forward and persuaded her husband, "Master! Say less! ”

Lu Zhongheng was too angry, looking at his daughter who was crying on the bed, his heart softened a little. He sighed, glanced at Mrs. Lu, and walked out of his daughter's room.

Mrs. Lu gently closed the door of her daughter's room and followed her husband into the cloister.

"This matter can't be left to her anymore." Lu Zhongheng glanced at his daughter's door and said to Mrs. Lu, "I thought about it just now, and while the envoy hasn't annoyed her yet, I will settle this matter." ”

"What does the master want to do?" Luff asked.

"Let Lord Hong help hand over the fold and ask the Queen Mother to give her a marriage!" Lu Zhongheng said resolutely.

"Please ask the Queen Mother to give you a marriage?"

"That's right! I thought about it, our Lu family also recognized the scenery in a garden, and took this opportunity to ask the queen mother to give marriage, so that not only Qin made grace, but Yan'er's face was also beautiful, and it would not be a head lower than the main room, and it would be of great benefit to our Lu family in the future. ”

"It's still the master's thoughtfulness, if the queen mother gives marriage, although Yan'er is still not in the main room, but with this layer, she will not be taken lightly. However, can Lord Hong make this excerpt? ”

"Although Lord Hong is a deputy envoy, he is older than the Qin envoy, and he is also a well-educated person, I heard that he was still the champion back then, and he was known as a famous person, and he was valued by the queen mother. It's the best time for him to come to this excerpt! ”

"That couldn't be better! It's just that Lord Hong and we don't know each other well, that is, we only met in the past few days, will he help us with this? ”

"If this happens, it will also be beneficial to Lord Hong, who gets along very well with the envoy, and the envoy regards him as his brother. He's more than happy to help! ”

"Then the master will do it quickly! I'll go and persuade Yan'er again......"

"Without further ado! I'm going to get ready, and I'm going to see Lord Hong first! ”

The husband and wife had made up their minds and went their separate ways.

At this time, Lin Yizhe, who was sitting in the train box, was looking at the relevant information about the British cruiser, and in front of his eyes, for some reason, Lu Yingyan's smile appeared from time to time, which made him a little dazed for a while.

6 September 1872, Portsmouth Military Harbour.

Portsmouth, not far from the British capital, is an important port in the south of England and an important base for the British Royal Navy. Since ancient times, warships flying the rice flag have always been a unique sight in this port. Today, when people walk along the coast of Portsmouth, the most obvious thing that catches their eyes is the warships fluttering the rice flag, and the steam warships emitting black smoke will inadvertently pass in front of them, attracting people to stop and watch.

When Lin Yizhe came to the dock, the first thing he saw was an ancient sail warship.

This is an old ship full of antiquity, full of vigor and vitality, anchored under the blue sky. The wooden hull is densely covered with gun doors, the mast stands on the deck, the cable is like a net, and the bow of the ship is like a unicorn with a long "horn" stuck obliquely...... It's like a visitor from another time and space.

Lin Yizhe, who is familiar with history, recognized at a glance that this ancient sail battleship was from the 18th century "Victory"! Nelson's Ship!

Although it has lost its combat use, the Victory is still an active warship of the British Royal Navy. Over the years, the British spent a great deal of time and money preserving an antique that no longer had military value, in honor of one of the country's heroes.

On September 21, 1805, the European world was still shrouded in the smoke of the Great War between Britain and France. In the waters off Trafalgar, west of the Gulf of Cádiz, Spain, two large fleets are approaching. After many days of tracking, the British Mediterranean Fleet finally set its sights on its sworn enemy, the combined fleet of France and Spain. On the aft deck of the British fleet's flagship "Victory," with the order of a one-armed general, the flag phrase "Britain hopes that you will do your duty faithfully," which later became a classic quote of the world's navies, jumped on the mast, and the British warships were arranged in two columns, like two iron fists striking the combined Franco-Spanish fleet in a column at the same time, and hundreds of warships, large and small, chased and fought on the sea of blood and fire. In the end, the British won a brilliant victory, this unprecedented naval battle in the early 19th century, swept away the British maritime threat, as if a clarion call, declaring that the 19th century would be the century of Britain, and the Battle of Trafalgar established the status of the "empire on which the sun never sets".

Lin Yizhe looked at the mighty "Victory", and his heart fluctuated for a while.

In the original time and space, when he was studying in England, he invited a few friends to visit Portsmouth, and that time, the "Victory" left a deep impression on him.

Nelson, the one-armed general who led the LinkedIn people to win the supreme glory, was unfortunately shot by an opposing sniper because he insisted on standing on the deck to boost morale, and died in the salute of British warships celebrating the victory in the naval battle. From that moment on, Horatio? Horatio Nelson became a well-known hero of the seas and a model for admirals to emulate. In honor of this brave general, his ship, HMS Victory, was permanently retained in the Royal Navy as a monument to the seas.

In the 19th century, after Nelson's starfall, Britain crisscrossed the seas with its powerful navy, and the system, tradition, and ship design of the British Navy had a profound impact on the world's navies, and Nelson became the world's Nelson. Not conformist, striving for the initiative on the battlefield, and sacrificing his life in exchange for victory, the Nelson spirit has become a classic dogma in the modern navies of almost all countries.

Time has passed, and when Lin Yizhe visited Portsmouth, the Royal Navy of the British Empire, which was once proud of the world, is no longer glorious, but Nelson's spirit has been passed on!

This kind of spiritual power, like a strong ship and a sharp cannon, is the capital of a country to dominate the world!

With the sound of sonorous footsteps, a group of sturdy sailors dressed in blue and white uniforms, wearing blue sailors' hats, and dark complexions appeared on the dock, attracting people's attention.

Judging from the dark eyes and yellow skin of the sailors and the typical oriental clothing, it was quickly judged that this was a group of Chinese sailors.

Lin Yizhe saw that the sailors were wearing sailor hats of their own design, and a black streamer was also tied to it, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After the Battle of Trafalgar, a black ribbon appeared on the hat of the British sailor, which was to pay tribute to Nelson, an excellent admiral who was born in a poor family and joined the British Royal Navy at the age of 12. Later, this was originally the British Navy's filial piety belt to mourn Nelson across the sea, and became a necessary ornament for modern navies around the world, including the losers of the Battle of Trafalgar, and the famous black streamers appeared on the hats of French and Spanish sailors. As a rising star in the world's naval family, China started late to modernize its navy, but it has also adopted this maritime tradition.

Soon, the Chinese sailors, led by the acting conductor Lu Wenjing, boarded the cruiser "Thetis" moored in front of the pier.

Lin Yizhe and Coles came to the deck of the "Thetis" together and began the handover ceremony of the warship. Soon, amid the sound of military music, the British Empire flag on the mast slowly lowered.

Accompanied by a deep and majestic sound of classical Chinese music, a golden dragon flag on a red background rose on the top of the cruiser's mast against the gentle sea breeze.

Seeing the dragon flag raised, the surrounding people applauded.

After completing the handover of posts, the British sailors began to withdraw the warship, and Lin Yizhe noticed Coles's unusually complicated eyes when he left the "Thetis", and couldn't help but sneer secretly.

He had already learned from Lou's father that the British Royal Navy officer - a relative of Coles, the designer of the famous "Coles turret" - was one of Miss Lou's ardent suitors.

"My lord, everything is ready to set sail." Lu Wenjing came to Lin Yizhe's side and said.

"Surely there won't be a problem, will it?" Lin Yizhe asked, his eyes still fixed on Coles's back.

"Before the adults came, their subordinates had already been on the ship to inspect many times, and this time they were all skilled sailors, so they were guaranteed to be foolproof." Lu Wenjing said confidently, "My subordinates guarantee that this trial voyage will be a success." ”

"That Englishman, why did you give us this boat, did you inquire about it?" Lin Yizhe asked.

"My subordinates have privately heard some nonsense." Lu Wenjing replied with a smile.
