Mei Hong and Zhang Cheng got up at this time, and Lin Yizhe asked Mei Hong in detail what happened, and only then did he know that because of the difficulty of communicating with the news from the strait, there had been a huge change in Taiwan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

While vigorously strengthening the armament of the Peony Society and other Fanmin tribes, the Japanese were not idle. At the beginning of this year, the Japanese not only provided a large number of weapons to the Lion's Head Society and other Fanmin tribes that attacked them last time to help them counterattack the Hui Society, but also directly instigated the wandering samurai to form pirates to raid the Peony Society, the Gaoshi Buddhist Society, the Female Milk Society and other naturalized Fan Societies.

In the face of the invasion of a strong enemy, the Peony Society, which had been greatly strengthened, naturally refused to stand still, and immediately launched a fierce counterattack, which once inflicted huge casualties on the hostile societies such as the Lion's Head Society and the Japanese pirates who came to attack, but the other side's intrusion did not stop. It may be that the instinct of the hunters made them feel the danger coming, and after discussion, Alugu and other leaders of the Fan Society, in order to protect all the bloodlines, decided to send the noble children of the tribe to the inland for temporary refuge, and it was only then that the children of this ship appeared in Mawei Harbor.

The residents of the Gaoshan tribe in Taiwan have always been brave and good at fighting, and they are strong and unyielding, and when they encounter the invasion of strong enemies, they often go into battle with the whole clan, while women, old and children, in order not to become a burden to their relatives on the front line, often choose to commit suicide, which shows the perseverance of their national character!

After listening to Mei Hong's report, Lin Yizhe calmed down and quickly ordered all the children to be taken off the boat.

About 100 children got off the boat, and Lin Yizhe was about to ask Chen Wan to take them back to his home first, when he suddenly saw a boy about one year old, who was being held by a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, with his hands around the girl's neck, staring at himself with a pair of big black and bright eyes, without the slightest fear on his face.

Lin Yizhe didn't want his bad mood to leave a psychological shadow on these children, he looked at this cute child who didn't recognize his birth, and smiled at him, the boy saw him smile, and laughed along, but he didn't bite his fingers while laughing like ordinary Han boys of the same age often do, but he was full of heroism.

Thinking that the child's father might be a heroic tribal warrior who was fighting a bloody battle with the enemy at the moment, Lin Yizhe's heart couldn't help but hurt.

He was just about to take his eyes off the boy when he suddenly saw the little agate lion on a beaded chain hanging from the boy's chest, and his heart suddenly flashed like lightning.

"Saiva? Are you Saiva? Lin Yizhe hurriedly walked up to the boy and asked.

The boy couldn't speak, but when he heard Lin Yizhe's call, the smile on his face became stronger, he looked at Lin Yizhe, and actually let go of the little hand holding his sister's neck, opened his arms, and made a gesture of asking Lin Yizhe to "hug".

Lin Yizhe's heart was warm, and he couldn't help but stretch out his arm and hugged the boy from the girl's arms.

"Back to my lordship, this is my brother Saiva. My name is Ulan. The girl who had just held the boy timidly replied in Chinese, "Erlan is my father, and Alugu is my grandfather." ”

Hearing the girl's answer, Lin Yizhe remembered the dangerous situation that Alugu father and son and Eya were in now, and his heart was anxious.

Looking at this cute boy in Lin Yizhe's arms, Chen Wan couldn't help but like it very much, she stepped forward and patted her hands gently, the boy immediately turned around and opened his arms to this beautiful aunt to hug her, Chen Wan smiled and hugged him from Lin Yizhe's arms, the boy giggled in her arms, his big eyes flashed and blinked, looking at her eyes, as if he was looking at his own mother, which made Chen Wan happy.

"My lord, without further ado, we should first report the situation on the platform to the people who make Taiwan and the people who make Taiwan." Xu Run said on the side, "When you ask Lord Tai and Lord Futai to play the imperial court, please make a decision and prepare a countermeasure in advance." ”

"That's what the gentleman said." Xu Run's words not only reminded Lin Yizhe, but also made Lin Yizhe realize that he must not mess up now, he calmed down and said to Chen Wan, "Wan'er, these children, you will have to work." For the time being, I will take it back to the house to rest, and then I will be resettled after I inform the Harbour Master School. ”

Chen Wan nodded, and immediately beckoned the servants to prepare the car, and ordered someone to go to the mansion first and then call the carriage to come over and take these children back to the house.

"Please go and tell my uncle on my behalf." Lin Yizhe settled down and said to Xu Run.

"The old decay will pass." Xu Run said, still looking at Lin Yizhe with concerned eyes, Lin Yizhe's heart warmed, his heart gradually settled, and he nodded at Xu Run, and Xu Run relieved himself.

Xu Run immediately went to see Shen Baozhen, and Lin Yizhe took Mei Hong and Zhang Cheng straight to the Supervision Office.

At this time, Li Henian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Wen Yu, the general of Fuzhou, were discussing the affairs of the supervision office, and they were surprised to see Lin Yizhe coming in a hurry. Lin Yizhe greeted the two of them, and after a brief greeting, he told the two of them what had happened in Taiwan and the news that he had received from the French that Japan was about to send troops to Taiwan, and then ordered Mei Hong and Zhang Cheng to recount what they had seen in detail.

"The Peony Society belongs to the Fan Realm, and it is difficult to get through the news on weekdays, and the Japanese are smuggled there, and it has always been difficult to stop it." Li Henian was taken aback when he learned about it, "If the Japanese really want to send troops to Taiwan and ask the people for their crimes, it will be in danger!" ”

"The Japanese people ask the people about the crime, but it's just an excuse. It's probably because you want to stay there for a long time! Wen Yu said in a deep voice.

"The situation is urgent, please ask the two adults to play the court quickly, please make a decision quickly!" Lin Yizhe said.

"Don't worry, Kunyu, I will go on an excerpt today and fly to Beijing with an expedited flight of 600 miles." Li Henian said.

"I'll also go with Master Li." Wen Yu said, "Our city defense and coastal defense also need to be prepared in advance. ”

"In Taiwan, it is necessary to send additional divisions and ships as a precaution, but Kunyu is now a defender, although there is a secret decree of the imperial court and supervision in the register, but he has no right to command the army, and he needs to be ordered by the imperial court to recover, alas!" Li Henian thought that the current situation was likely to be imminent, and he was also anxious, "I'm afraid that in just a few days after this decree, there will be a big change!" ”

After Lin Yizhe kept the system, the imperial court secretly issued an edict to Lin Yizhe to "supervise the register, not to take away affection", in order not to arouse the criticism of the Qinglius, this secret decree, except for Lin Yizhe, only a few people know. In the eyes of the outside world, Lin Yizhe is indeed abiding by the system, but Li Henian and Wen Yu are also one of the insiders of the secret decree, and they are so concerned about how Lin Yizhe recovers.

Lin Yizhe's "observance" was not easy for the two of them.

"If only there were this foreigner's telegraph line!" Wen Yu also sighed.

Because Fuzhou is a treaty port, there are many places to deal with foreigners, for the telegraph, this advanced means of communication, Li Henian and Wen Yu have long heard of the telegraph, and know that the telegraph can communicate with the news, can be thousands of miles in an instant, very convenient, but the proposal of the Western-style officials to set up the telegraph has been repeatedly blocked by the die-hard officials, to this day, Nuoda China, there is still not a telegraph line, it belongs to themselves!

"The shipyard has built a high-speed notification ship, which can make it send to Beijing by sea to Tianjin, which can be faster than more than ten days faster than the post delivery. Because of the urgency of the situation, Lin Yizhe, who didn't care about keeping it secret, told Li Henian and Wen Yu about the existence of the high-speed notification ship.

"I and Xingyan (Wen Yu's character) will write an excerpt, write it and send it to the honorable place. Kunyu can go and inform Wang Futai, if he can also play at the same time, it would be the best. Li Henian said.

"I'll go see Lord Wang." Lin Yizhe nodded.

After leaving the Governor's Office, Lin Yizhe asked Mei Hong to go to the Harbour Master's Office to inform the Harbour Master of what had happened in Taiwan and the news that Japan was about to send troops to Taiwan, and to transfer Xia Xianlun and Wu Zhongxiang, and asked Zhang Cheng to make preparations for returning to the ship, and to notify the other ship management bands. At this time, Wang Kaitai was still ill, and he was holding the sick director, and when he heard the news that Lin Yizhe said, he was also shocked, and immediately agreed to report to the imperial court immediately, and wrote an excerpt to be delivered by Lin Yizhe's notification ship.

Out of the Fu Bureau, Lin Yizhe went to the Harbour Administration, at this time Shen Baozhen, Xia Xianlun, Wu Zhongxiang and others had already learned the news from Mei Hong and were discussing, seeing Lin Yizhe's arrival, their hearts were a little settled, but everyone's faces were full of worry.

Although there is no will for the imperial court to recover now, Lin Yizhe has secretly decided in his heart that he will first make the shipmaster and sailor fully prepare for war, and when the will of the imperial court is restored, he will immediately lead the fleet to go to Taiwan!

After discussing with Shen Baozhen and other shipping officials for a while, everyone went their separate ways and prepared according to their duties. Seeing that Lin Yizhe's complexion was wrong, Shen Baozhen knew that he was worried about the safety of Aya and asked him to go back to rest first. Lin Yizhe agreed, left the Harbour Administration, but did not go home, but came to the dock again.

Lin Yizhe looked at the battleships with dragon flags fluttering at anchor in the harbor, and his heart fluctuated.

Worried that Japan's invasion of Taiwan might occur at any time, Lin Yizhe left a back hand in advance and said that Shen Baozhen would recall the ships of the shipmaster and sailors that were originally stationed in various places to Mawei for intensive training. After receiving the summons, the ships came to Mawei one after another to gather. Up to now, nine ships, including the cruisers "Princess Heshuo", "Chaowu" and "Chengqing", the gunboats "Fusheng", "Jiansheng", "Fuxing", "Jianxing", and the notification ships "Feiting" and "Feihong" have arrived. In addition, the three cruisers "Weiyuan", "Kangji", and "Henghai" and the notification ship "Flying Eagle", which were originally scheduled to be transferred to Beiyang, were also temporarily retained by Lin Yizhe and assigned to the naval division.

In addition, Lin Yizhe also sent a letter to the Nanyang side, requesting that the four gunboats "Wannianqing," "Jingyuan," "Zhenhai," and "Zhenwei," and the notification ship "Feipeng" that had been transferred to Nanyang be transferred back.

Regardless of whether the Nanyang ships can arrive or not, Lin Yizhe has already made up his mind that as soon as the imperial court's will arrives, he will set off immediately!

From the time traveled to this era to the present, in his hands, there is finally a fleet that should not be underestimated!

Although the scale of this fleet cannot be compared with that of the Western powers, now, this fleet is the only strong support he has in the face of the Japanese invaders!

Now, it's time for him to test the fruits of his struggle!

He had to win this battle!

For the sake of your loved ones in this era!

For the sake of this hot land under your feet and the people who live here!

For the dream of a strong country in my heart!

"Come on! Let's have a good fight this time! Lin Yizhe looked at the sea in the distance and let out an angry roar from the bottom of his heart.

"Li Wenzhong's Public Collection: Attached to the Shanghai Exploration Letter (March 20)": "...... All the affairs of the Oriental army to attack Taiwan's Shengfan place have been discussed for several days, and it was written by Nagasaki that the Japanese sent the governor of the Handle Chuan Palace (Handle Chuan name, the palace is the prince), and Li Xian had to participate in the discussion. Li Ji, who came with Vice Island last year, is an American, a former consul in Fujian, and can speak Taiwanese. The foreign newspaper has a total of 15,000 Japanese troops, and the exact number of soldiers is unknown. There is also a cloud Citigroup ship named 'Niu Yeke', loaded with 3,000 people. Soldiers were hired for Japan to go, and a total of five ships were to go. Two warships went from Japan, one warship was sent to Yantai by Japan, and two merchant ships were transferred, both of which were hired by Westerners. But four or five thousand is no less. Westerners have a covenant with China, and they should not be hired by Japan, and it is contrary to public law to carry troops to the country. Japan is making a fuss, but in fact, it is acting rashly. But the truth is that because the samurai of the old feudal clan have recently been in civil strife, the country will not allow them to ask for Goryeo, and they are afraid that they will make trouble again. It is the state to mediate and settle the bitterness, which can be described as absurd! ……”

"Li Wenzhong's Collected Works: On Japan's Sending Troops to Taiwan (March 13)": "...... According to the envoys of various countries and the General Taxation Department of He, the Japanese sent troops to Taiwan to investigate the situation, and the reason for this was inconsistent with the telegram sent by Shen Dao to Nagasaki at the Jianghai Customs. The Japanese claimed that they had sent personnel to inquire through Taiwan, but it was difficult to guarantee that they would not bring troops to China, and the beauty Li Xiande came to China with his vice-chancellor last year to instigate the formation of troops, and Li Xiande is now serving as an Oriental official, and the General Taxation Department of He said that he was the mastermind of Japan, which is no different from what he heard here. However, when a country raises an army, it must first have a written letter to inform the cause of the provocation, or not to allow the lawsuit, and then raise the army. As soon as Japan changed the contract and invited the Hajj, reconciliation was as usual, and Taiwan had a special section, and it did not go through the business first, so how could it be called a soldier? Even if you start raising an army, how can you not know a word? Japan's civil strife was calm, and its strength did not seem to be enough to go far, that is, if it wanted to use force, Mo Xiangoryeo. Jiang Teng Xinping invited Goryeo, but he still made trouble because he was not allowed, how could he give up his hatred for the weak Goryeo, and first seek to strengthen the Liang Terrier? That is, if China tries to fight for it with all its might, it may not win completely, and it will be a self-righteous disharmony. In recent years, Toyo News has been full of changes and fraud. Pashali is the most intimate with the country, and it is not surprising that he bluffed on his behalf. The envoy continued: Japan has not issued a written statement of war to China, and there is a proposal for the minister to come to China. Pushing it from this, it seems that there is no intention to call the soldiers, and the few words seem to be plain. ”

"Yesterday, according to Chen Fuxun, a member of Shanghai, he said: Liuyuan Qianguang has a letter of leaving for Shanghai within a few days, and he should refute it after the envoy arrives, and continue to report on it again. We are too far away from Fujian, I don't know if the province is prepared? Whether this matter is true or false, I plan to ask Jun to make a secret plan for the first time, don't rely on it not to come, and I will be prepared. All countries have coveted Taiwan for a long time, and Japan's military and political strength is strong, and it is especially close to the sea. ……”

Nagasaki, Japan.

Saigo, dressed in a Western-style military uniform, stood at the pier and looked at the Japanese Army soldiers who boarded the merchant ships one after another, and the heroic meaning in his heart came spontaneously.

He had waited too long for this day.

"I just got a telegram from Xiamen that the 'Monaken' has departed." Li Xiande, who was also wearing a Japanese military uniform and carrying a saber at his waist, came to Xixiang Congdao's side, saw that no one was paying attention, and whispered in Saigo Congdao's ear.

"If the U.S. government asks about this, how will they answer?" Saigo "thoughtfully" asked for these Americans who came to volunteer to "help".

"In the name of 'spectators', of course." Li Xiande smiled slightly and replied quite smugly.

"Great." Saigo Congdao also smiled secretly.

Although it was far away from the two of them, Mizuno Zun, who was born with long ears, still heard the conversation between the two clearly.

Hearing that there were indeed U.S. warships involved in the operation, Mizuno, who had always been nervous, felt a little more at ease.

As one of the members of the last expedition, and Mizuno's fluency in Chinese, he was appointed as a counselor by the Japanese government, and he also came to participate in this military operation. Despite his reluctance, he accepted the appointment out of loyalty to his country.

Mizuno looked at the Japanese Army soldiers on the dock who were wearing black military uniforms and carrying rifles and luggage, discussing in groups, and happily waiting to board the ship, and somehow felt uneasy in his heart.

In front of his eyes, Lin Yizhe's figure appeared again.

And those well-trained Chinese sailors!

Mizuno subconsciously touched his waist.

The revolver that Lin Yizhe gave him is now on his waist.

Another group of Japanese soldiers arrived at the docks, and the docks became even more noisy, and Mizuno looked up and saw that the discipline of this new group of soldiers seemed to be inferior to that of the soldiers who had arrived before, and he couldn't help but frown.

Although the new soldiers were also wearing black Japanese army uniforms, many of them looked more arrogant than ordinary people, and many of them even had two katanas, one long and one short, pinned to their waists!

Mizuno Taran, who is familiar with traditional Japanese culture, knows that the long katana is used to cut people, while the short one is used to commit suicide.

Most Japanese samurai wear two swords (of course, there are many more neuropathies, and it is said that the most have eight knives pinned to their waists) as a symbol of samurai status. Since the Japanese government promulgated the "Abolition of Swords Order", samurai are no longer allowed to wear such knives on the streets, but I can't imagine that today, when going to Taiwan, someone will openly show them again!
