Chapter 223: The consequences of not being able to bear this breath
In the Spanish Legation, the wind like a knife blew the glass outside the Legation. Compared to the cold wind whistling outside, the Spanish minister in the room was even more cold.
Tens of thousands of people were slaughtered in Manila this time, and the government really couldn't raise its head to seek justice in the face of such a powerful Qing naval division. Fortunately, I am in the Qing Kingdom, and I know that the Great Qing Kingdom is now at war with that demon, and since I don't dare to think that the demon will seek justice, then it is okay to seek justice from the lamb. So he suggested that the state protest against the Qing state and reap the benefits of it.
Everything is in his own calculations, who would have known that the demon who was originally as deep as the sea would actually issue such a big threat.
If the protest is not withdrawn, it will be in Lower Manila.
In Lower Manila, this problem is very serious, the Spanish minister is not a pig's head, last time he went to take revenge, he killed the natives, if he goes this time, I am afraid it will not be a question of killing the natives, but of killing the Spanish people. It is even possible to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy Manila, and then a piece of the country's colony in Asia will be abandoned to others again.
Glancing at the threatening telegram that was still on the table. The Spanish minister shook his head helplessly, it seems that this time, he can endure this breath. That's it. Otherwise, if that demon really goes to Manila, I'm afraid it's time for the time
He had already sent a telegram to China, and now, he was waiting for a telegram from China.
With a creak, the door opened, and an attendant walked in. He looked at the minister, who was drinking to relieve his sorrows, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, a telegram has been sent from China, agreeing with your opinion, and withdrawing the protest, and since then this matter has not happened. ”
knew that this was the result, but when he knew the news accurately, he felt uncomfortable, but why was it so strong, the minister suddenly raised his neck and drank the red wine in the glass.
The loss, remorse, and shame in my heart suddenly converged on the face of the Spanish minister.
"Go and report to the Prime Minister's Yamen. Our state system hopes that everyone can exercise restraint. Be restrained. With that, the minister grabbed the bottle again. Violently pour himself, himself, tomorrow, he will become a laughing stock, a huge laughing stock.
Chu Xiu Palace, listen to Yi? Cixi had a smile on her face.
Abundant? After receiving the information from the Spanish Legation, he immediately ran to the Chuxiu Palace to inform Cixi of the matter. and also deliberately said the role of Liu Jun this time.
"Okay, this rebel. No, this Liu Junai's family has long known that they are with the court. Cixi, who was in a good mood, even Liu Jun, who had always been a rebellious minister and thief, began to change his name.
"Spread the will of the mourning family, appreciate the love of Xinjue Luo Ruojing Gege Night Pearl, Liu Jun yellow coat." After Cixi finished speaking, she stood up, and with Li Lianying's support, she entered the back hall, where she wanted to recite the scriptures again to celebrate the event.
Yellow coat, seeing Cixi's back, Yi? With a wry smile on his face, he had already heard people say that Liu Jun's yellow coat rewarded by the imperial court was used as a rag to wipe the table, how could he afford this.
Although the heart thought so, Cixi's orders had to be obeyed. Shook his head helplessly, Yi? Walked out of Chuxiu Palace and began to convey the holy decree.
At the Lushun Headquarters, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin with a puzzled expression, and said in surprise: "Yellow coat? The pearl of the night? ”
"Yes, head, in recognition of your contribution this time, the imperial court specially rewarded you with a yellow coat and a pearl of the night.
In the yellow coat, Liu Jun turned his head and looked at the yellow rag on the table.
It's okay, at least you can change the rag again. It's uncomfortable to wear, but it works well as a rag.
"Head, I wonder if you will actually send troops if Spain does not accept it this time." Zhong Lin asked the question in his heart, he was a little unconvinced, Liu Jun would really send troops.
In Zhong Lin's view, although there are currently more than 200,000 people in five corps in the entire Liaodong. It is true that they are scattered everywhere and are not easy to assemble, and although the Fourth and Fifth Corps have no combat missions at present, and all of them are clearing the wasteland, they are all new soldiers, and they will not become soldiers without waiting for a few months of training and training.
At present, only the more than 20,000 Praetorian Guards can be transferred. Zhong Lin estimated that Liu Jun would not use this elite against Spain.
"Joke, the Manila fleet is so weak, if you don't send troops to fight, you can't wait for him to grow stronger." Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin helplessly, and picked up the teacup in his hand again.
"That's right, head, Wang Hailong sent a message. The man has been found. Zhong Lin saw Liu Jun put down the teacup. Tell me another thing about today. ”
"Where?" As soon as he heard that someone had found it, Liu Jun suddenly stood up.
No one understands better than him how much role this person will play in the future, these things, in the present, are not valued by the country, this is the opportunity, when the sea war breaks out in the future, these things that are now being looked down upon by people will burst out with incomparable power.
Liu Jun clearly remembered that in World War II, what the Allies were most afraid of was not aircraft artillery, but the German submarine force, and those submarines were like ghosts. From time to time, they attacked Allied transport fleets. Leave the Allies scratching their heads.
Now, all the countries of Europe believe in the era of cannon giants. This gives yourself a chance. In the future, our own navy will have surface ships, submarines, and even more submarines. Then you can go out at any time, secretly go to someone's base, and knock down these behemoths unconsciously.
"There is indeed this person, fifteen years ago, he and a group of people made that thing, and later was incorporated into the Beiyang Naval Division, just because when the torpedo was fired underwater, it caused water seepage, and four people died. Lao Ding kicked that thing out of the water division, because of this incident, the Taoist was implicated and demoted, and now he is farming in his hometown for a living.
Farming, Liu Jun's eyes widened suddenly, such a technical talent was actually ruined like this, it's a pity, the Qing Dynasty is not boastful, it is intolerable.
"Tell Wang Hailong to get this person to Lushun for me, no matter what method you use."
Zhong Lin smiled: "Put it down, I have already given the order, and now they have set off." ”
Outside Baoding, a small town that is not famous. Heavy snow overnight covered the town with a layer of white jade. The winter sun shines through, making the already cold town unusually cold.
"The man didn't come back." A tall, horse-faced, somewhat emaciated, with a black dogskin hat on his head, sat in front of a tea stall and asked a man dressed as a man.
"Stationmaster, I went out at noon today, and I haven't come back yet. Stationmaster, what does Director Zhong want this forty-year-old man to do? ”
"How do I know, anyway, the director will let me get it." The horse-faced man waved his hand, and instead of paying attention, he picked up the tea bowl and began to stare at the closed door opposite.
This person is Wang Hailong, this time after receiving Zhong Lin's order, he felt that the situation was not ordinary, so he personally called the two capable elites of Tianjin Station, under the banner of selling New Year's goods, and came to Baoding urgently.
He also arrived at the hall, the person who made the underwater boat back then, called Chen Tao. Because after that incident, he was removed from his post and has not been hired.
"I'm back." After the people around him looked at a middle-aged man in a black cotton jacket in the distance with a little gray on his head, they cautiously reminded Wang Hailong, who was sitting there.
I took a faint look at the weather, and it was already sunset. The chimneys were already smoking, and they were packing up and going home to warm up.
"Let's do it." A man protrudes a dagger from his sleeve.
"What are you doing?" Wang Hailong slapped the man's wrist: "There are so many people now, looking for death, wait a while, and act at night." After Wang Hailong finished speaking, he didn't talk, but asked Xiao Er to brew some tea again.
At night, although there were no moonlit people, the university outside reflected the whole ground, and in the confusion, several black shadows climbed over the wall into a mansion, and went straight to the brightly lit room.
A little saliva was glued, and a tall man in black poked a hole in the paper at once. After finding that there was one person left, I looked around at the family members who were sleeping with the lights out.
"Do it." With a snap, the door was pushed open suddenly, and Chen Shou, who had not had time to shout, was suddenly covered with his mouth and stuffed into a clean towel. It was fiercely black, and a sack was suddenly put on his body.
A few minutes later, a man ripped off his black mask: "Stationmaster, everything is done." ”
Wang Hailong looked at the time, less than a minute, nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the door, and took a closer look at the rooms next to him.
"Go, tie up all his family for me, and then burn me here with a fire."
Understood, the other two nodded slightly, turned around and touched the other rooms.
