Chapter 512: The Uncontested Imperial Court

To be honest, Yang Yonglin didn't know what this order was about, but he estimated that it was not a bad thing, after all, if it was because Jiang Chaoying had done something wrong, it would not be an order, but an arrest warrant from the Secret Supervision Bureau and the law enforcement team of the Intelligence Department.

"Go ahead, I don't know the specific situation, just let you go to Guangdong immediately, and Li Hanzhang will tell you about your mission.

Since Yang Yonglin said so, Jiang Chaoying didn't say anything, but after saluting, he began to go out to hand over his work.

At dusk, Jiang Chaoying, accompanied by several guards, boarded a cargo ship bound for Guangdong and began to go to Guangdong.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, the sea surface of Jiangshan Island. The cannon rumbled, the shells fell into the water, and the sea water was about to boil, and water columns more than ten meters high appeared on the surface of the sea from time to time.

On the Pingyuan, the heart of the British Minister Will was cold at a glance.

This time, he was invited to watch the exercise, along with France, Germany, and other countries.

Upon arrival in Guangdong. After resting for a day in Whampoa, the German fleet and the Beiyang Naval Division wanted to exercise the area and advance on Jiangshan Island the next day, while the cruiser Pingyuan of the Guangdong Naval Division became an observation ship, closely following behind the huge fleet.

This time, the plan is to defend on one side and attack on the other. The German fleet and a division served as the defender, while Liaodong was the attacker. Beginning at eight o'clock in the morning, the two fleets began shelling the sea to seize air supremacy.

The fleets of both sides wanted to bring glory to their countries, so the fight between the two sides was hot. You come and go. All have been shelled for three hours.

In Will's eyes, he thought that this exercise was just a show, but now, seeing the anger erupted from Hongzhang in the distance, Will didn't dare to underestimate the Beiyang Naval Division in his heart.

Regardless of the rest, Gu said that the hit rate has already reached four percent, while the hit rate of his own country's fleet is slightly smaller.

Although, Will does not put this fleet in his eyes, but after all, this in his heart, brought a lot of shock, what he wants to do now is to hope to be able to go back as soon as possible, so as to send intelligence to London and India, and suggest not to make any small moves against it for the time being, after all, the current Beiyang Naval Division, although it cannot be compared with the navy of the British Empire, but the Far East Fleet used to attack the empire is more than rubbing. It won't be wasted.

Woo woo woo woo a German freighter coming from the north slowly approached the port of Guangzhou.

With a clang, the properly moored ship was smoothly put the pedals on with the help of the sailors. Wait for the people on the boat to disembark.

Jiang Chaoying, who was dressed in a white suit and a top hat, looked at a cruiser of a Guangdong sailor in the distance on the boat. Only then did he sigh slightly, and under the protection of the two guards, he got off the boat and began to head towards the governor's palace of the original imperial court in the distance......

When he came to the door of the Governor's Palace, Jiang Chaoying handed his documents to the guards in front of the door, checked his identity, and then signaled Jiang Chaoying and the others to enter.

Jiang Chaoying has only been here once, but he has a good memory, so as soon as he stepped into the governor's palace, he went to the innermost study, after all, Li Hanzhang's office was in the study, not the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Li Hanzhang working on the desk in the study.

Jiang Chaoying's temper is somewhat similar to Li He, that is, there will be no unnecessary nonsense, so after greeting Li Hanzhang, he wants to know his mission here, after all, when he leaves. Yang Yonglin told himself that Li Hanzhang knew everything.

Li Hanzhang, who knew Jiang Chaoying, was not angry because of Jiang Chaoying's directness, but smiled and handed another telegram from Lushun to Jiang Chaoying, which was about the appointment of Jiang Chaoying as the commander of the Pacific Naval Division, and the order to lead the Bu Toad and the Guangdong Naval Division Pingyuan and seven torpedo cruisers to Hawaii.

Excited, Jiang Chaoying, who took this order, was very excited, you must know that it was the first time that this sailor had established a base in a foreign country, and he was indeed very honored to serve as the first commander.

"Have a good rest, Li and his men have been exercising on Yijiangshan Island, it is estimated that they will come back in a few days, and when the time comes, when they come back, you will send supplies in Guangzhou, and then go south." Seeing that Jiang Chaoying's hand trembling when he picked up the telegram sitting there, Li Hanzhang patted Jiang Chaoying on the shoulder and signaled him to rest early.

Nodding slightly, Jiang Chaoying sighed, then gently folded the telegram in his hand, put it in his pocket, and began to chat with Li Hanzhang.

Chengdu. The military aircraft department, looking from the second floor in the courtyard, can be clearly seen. Not far away, the Governor's Palace, where the two palaces now live, there are many buildings imitating the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Hey, Zhang Zhidong, who was standing in front of the door, looked at where many craftsmen were busy, and sighed helplessly, ten million taels. In order to build these palaces, it cost nearly 10 million taels.

That's not all, at yesterday's court meeting, Cixi actually proposed to build a mausoleum for herself in Longquanyi. In an eventful season, the imperial court does not spend money on legitimate purposes, but on these places, Zhang Zhidong held his breath in his heart, this imperial court, he estimated that he would not live long.

He got information from Liaodong. Liu Jun of Liaodong, for so many years, has not bought a house for himself, he has been living in the original Beiyang Naval Master Yamen, and I heard that each meal is only four dishes and one soup, and it costs less than one tael of silver, but Cixi, a meal, the less is thousands of taels, and the more is tens of thousands of taels, and it is all money.

Zhang Zhidong once calculated that if this money was saved, it would be enough to arm the troops of seven towns, but now, the two towns that had just been formed were not equipped with rifles at all, and the original plan to buy guns in Germany also failed because of this matter.

In an eventful season, the court wasted money so much, which made Zhang Zhidong very disappointed, and he already had the idea of leaving the court in his heart.

Hey, sighing again, Zhang Zhidong turned over and returned to his position, and after quietly looking at the map of Xinjiang for a while, he took a brush from the side and drew a huge fork on the entire Xinjiang section. Because, now Xinjiang no longer belongs to the imperial court, but to Liaodong.

A few days ago, news came from the Qinghai border that the army of Liaodong had entered Urumqi. Pan Xiaosu committed suicide in despair at the governor's yamen. And after the Liaodong army entered the city, it only rested for two days, and then quickly approached the west, less than five days, and even twenty-two cities, such a fast speed, Zhang Zhidong understood that Xinjiang, Dingtian will be occupied by Liaodong for more than ten days.

Smack, looking at the dazzling fork, Zhang Zhidong threw the brush in his hand aside. I closed my eyes helplessly.
