Li Hongzhang died of illness, the Empress Dowager Cixi cried bitterly when she heard it, and the emperor gave the Zhongtang the nickname Wenzhong, which is the praise of its latitude and longitude! Loyalty is the gratitude of its public loyalty to the country!

And just as Lin Yizhe was looking at Li Hongzhang's seated statue and lost his mind, a young teacher was leading her students, a group of senior elementary school students wearing red scarves, from another exhibition hall, at first Lin Yizhe didn't care, but as they gradually got closer, Lin Yizhe heard more and more clearly what she was saying to her students: this "human gardener", who had obviously only been working for a few years, was talking to her students about the "corrupt and incompetent Beiyang Navy" established by the "traitor" Li Hongzhang The "old days" of "drying clothes" on the barrel of the main gun!

Lin Yizhe, who was angry, was determined to expose this "farce" on the spot, he first put on a "good and seductive" appearance, and said to those children in a calm but firm tone: "Students, go home and ask your parents, if they don't use a one-meter-thick 'bamboo pole' to dry their clothes, then your teacher is lying to you just now."

After the words fell, Lin Yizhe smiled and looked at the reaction of the expressions of the group of people in front of him: the young teacher's face was full of surprise and uneasiness, and his face gradually turned red, and Lin Yizhe also felt a trace of embarrassment, and finally Lin Yizhe saw tears rolling in the eyes of the young woman, but he didn't take out his eyes because of forbearance; And the children's eyes at their teacher clearly read the distrust, and it was obvious that the image of this teacher in their minds had begun to crumble.

In the face of this result, Lin Yizhe suddenly lost the pride and sense of achievement that a victor should have, and he had the opportunity to rebuke the mistakes of one or two young teachers who did not know the depths to his face, but how could he reverse the erroneous historical view of education that had accumulated in this country because of years of distortion? In a sense, the female teacher in front of her who is full of grievances and unwillingness is not a victim of this education system? Lin Yizhe even felt a trace of sympathy for her in his heart, so he didn't say a word, leaving the "poor man with hate" to smile at the children and walk to the next exhibition hall.

The past is like smoke, and now, he has come to history, and Li Hongzhang, who is standing in front of him, is in high spirits......

"Kunyu, ...... are you" Li Hongzhang saw Lin Yizhe looking at him blankly, his eyes seemed to be shining with tears, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he couldn't understand that the young man in front of him would be so excited when he saw him for the first time.

Seeing that Lin Yizhe still hadn't come back to his senses, Zhou Fu was also surprised, stepped forward to greet Lin Yizhe, and called out a little loudly: "Lord Lin." ”

Lin Yizhe was shocked from his state of trance, and hurriedly greeted Li Hongzhang, Zhou Fu and others.

"Lin Mou has admired the names of Brother Shaoquan and Brother Yushan for a long time, and when he saw Brother Shaoquan and Brother Yushan for the first time, he couldn't help but be excited, and he was rude." Lin Yizhe said with a smile, the embarrassment just now has disappeared.

"Lin Mou came late, and it caused all the adults to show themselves in the cold wind, and I really didn't want to go." Lin Yizhe raised his hand and waved it, "Lin has accused." ”

Seeing that Lin Yizhe was not arrogant, humble and polite, and treated people and things kindly, Li Hongzhang liked it very much, he turned his head and glanced at Zhou Fu, and noticed that Zhou Fu's first impression of Lin Yizhe was also quite good.

"It's too cold here, so come aboard with me, warm and warm." Lin Yizhe greeted everyone while affectionately holding Li Hongzhang's hand and walking towards the trestle.

Li Hongzhang and his entourage boarded the "Weiyuan" ship and followed Lin Yizhe to the officers' living room, where everyone sat down separately, and the sailors on the "Weiyuan" ship served warm fragrant tea. And according to Lin Yizhe's instructions, everyone was given an extra cup of coffee.

"If you wish, you might as well try this coffee." Lin Yizhe said with a smile, "This thing is often drunk by Western countries, and it has the effect of refreshing the mind. ”

Hearing Lin Yizhe's introduction, Li Hongzhang seemed very curious, took the lead in taking a sip of the cup, and praised: "Sweet and slightly bitter, the entrance is burnt and fragrant, not bad." ”

After seeing the governor's drink, he was full of praise, and several Tianjin magistrates also tasted it.

Li Hongzhang had visited the "Weiyuan" ship many times before, and he was no stranger to this officer's living room, but at this time he was still curious to look around, and did not hide his envy and liking for this warship.

"What does Brother Shaoquan think of this ship?" Lin Yizhe asked with a smile.

"Such a good ship makes us envious!" Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "This ship is not comparable to the ships of Shanghai Factory in terms of speed, artillery power, and machine strength, and there is no one in China who is unsurpassed." The Fujian factory and the Shanghai factory were established at a similar time, but the Fujian factory is thriving, and the ships built are no longer comparable to the Shanghai factory. ”

When Lin Yizhe heard Li Hongzhang's evaluation, he knew in his heart that he was by no means here to say good things to please himself, and his praise was indeed from the heart.

Regarding the situation of the Shanghai factory (that is, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau), Lin Yizhe is actually clear.

After the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau built the "Caojiang" gunboat, it successively built the "Hai Survey" and "Weijing" gunboats, of which the "Weijing" gunboat displacement exceeded 1,000 tons, and the number of artillery guns increased to 12. It shows that the shipbuilding technology of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is also constantly improving, and it has begun to try to build large-scale warships step by step. However, due to technical and financial constraints, coupled with the fighting in the North-West Frontier, the demand for arms and ammunition has increased significantly. As China's main munitions factory, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau had no choice but to tilt its production focus to guns, ammunition, and other army ordnance.

"Kunyu, I have a reluctant request for my brother, and I forgot to fulfill it." Li Hongzhang said again.

"Brother Shaoquan, please speak, as long as the brother does his best, he will do everything." Lin Yizhe said.

"Now I am in charge of Beiyang defense for my brother, Beiyang is the gateway to Gyeonggi and an important place for coastal defense, and now there are only two ships guarding 'Mae Yun' and 'Caojiang', and the strength of the naval division is too single. If you can add one or two more large troop wheels, you can use it enough. And now it is difficult for the Shanghai factory to build a big ship, because I think my brother has to rely on Kunyu, hehe. Li Hongzhang knew that his request was a bit abrupt, but he still couldn't suppress the desire in his chest to own the "Weiyuan" ship, "If Kunyu can allow the 'Weiyuan' to be transferred to Beiyang, he will be grateful to his brother." ”

Hearing Li Hongzhang say his request, the hall was quiet for a while, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yizhe.

"Brother Shaoquan is dedicated to the country, and my brother dares not to allow it." Lin Yizhe readily agreed.

Hearing Lin Yizhe agree so happily, Li Hongzhang was surprised and delighted. Zhou Fu and the surrounding local officials in Tianjin were also very excited.

"It's just that Brother Shaoquan has to wait, now the second ship of the same class as 'Weiyuan' is under construction, brother calculates, and in a short time, the second ship will be completed, and then 'Weiyuan' will be transferred to Beiyang, what does Brother Shaoquan think?" Lin Yizhe continued.

"Good! Good! At this time, Li Hongzhang looked so happy that he didn't know what to say, but he agreed one after another.

Seeing Li Hongzhang's slightly out of shape, Lin Yizhe's eyes, for some reason, suddenly appeared the figure of the deceased Zhou Kaixi.

The scene when Zhou Kaixi died was so similar to Li Hongzhang in the original historical time and space!

is also a person who has done his best for China's modernization!

is also bright-eyed, and death is still blind!

In front of his eyes, there seemed to be the tragic scene of the grief-stricken Zhou Fu closing his eyes with his hands for the deceased Li Hongzhang!

This action, he had already done to Zhou Kaixi three years ago.

The difference is that Zhou Kaixi has already gone! And Li Hongzhang is still alive now!

There are still twenty-one years left before the turning point of his life and destiny - Jiawu!

It's still too late!

Thinking of this, Lin Yizhe made a vow in his heart.

As long as I'm here! I will never allow this to happen to the person in front of me!

His ending should be a good beginning and a good end, admired by future generations! And it shouldn't be pointed out by thousands of people, and it shouldn't be scolded!

You Li Hongzhang will not become Zhou Kaixi's second, and I, Lin Yizhe, will never be the second Zhou Fu again!

As long as I am here, I will never let you leave this world in tears!

Tears are meant to be shed, but they should never be us!

"Beiyang is close to Beijing, for the coastal defense of the important place, must be guarded by a large ship, if Brother Shaoquan feels that the 'Weiyuan' ship is not enough, the 'Weiyuan' of the same class 'Fujing' and 'Jianjing' two ships under construction, after completion, can also be transferred to Beiyang, and the name of the ship can be changed at that time." Lin Yizhe thought about it, and simply sent the favor to the end, adding another surprise to Li Hongzhang, "It's just that these two ships need to be subsidized for some shipping prices." About 80,000 taels of silver per ship. ”

"Good! Good! At this time, Li Hongzhang was so happy that he could only say these two words.

Seeing that Li Hongzhang was so happy that he couldn't even speak, Zhou Fu smiled and relieved Li Hongzhang: "Eighty thousand taels of silver per ship, no more!" If it's just this big gift, how can it be called a Taiwanese adult! ”

"Always serve the country, what is the difference between one and the other? Beiyang coastal defense is an important place, and these three ships are just a drop in the bucket at present. Sizhi was ashamed. Lin Yizhe said with a smile, "The shipmaster wants to build a foundation for coastal defense, but I am afraid that in the future, an ironclad soldier ship will come out, and you will not be able to look down on this little 'Weiyuan'." ”

Hearing the confidence and pride in Lin Yizhe's words, Zhou Fu's eyes flashed with admiration.

Lin Yizhe looked at the forty-six-year-old Zhou Fu, and his heart was also full of respect.

At this time, Zhou Fu certainly wouldn't have thought that he would be the one who met him when Li Hongzhang died.
