"Brother, you'd better not be too hasty yet......" A trace of concern flashed in Li Sizhu's eyes, but she immediately returned to calm, she has always had a high degree of willpower to control personal feelings, even after reuniting with Lin Yizhe, there is no exception.

"Brother, you can drink some water first." Li Sizhu said, raising his hand slightly. picked up the porcelain cup on the coffee table and handed it to Lin Yizhe.

Lin Yizhe nodded, then got up with one arm and took a sip of the cup, the entrance only felt cold and cold, very comfortable, it turned out to be a cup of mint water. When he had finished drinking, he was still very tired, so he lay down again.

"Brother's body is fine, not a person who is easy to get sick......" Li Sizhu's tone revealed a strong atmosphere of care, which made Lin Yizhe's heart feel warm.

"Maybe I'm a little tired these days." Lin Yizhe still felt a pain in his brain, he raised his hand, gently rubbed his temples with his second finger, and replied in a somewhat hoarse voice.

From the beginning of this war to the present, he has lost count of how many sleepless nights he has spent.

Li Sizhu didn't speak again, just looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of joy.

Lin Yizhe looked at her sheared eyes, for some reason, these eyes always made him feel familiar with a historical figure he was familiar with......

Although she is Lin Puqing's adopted daughter, her background is still a mystery.

And as she gradually grew up, becoming a slim girl, Lin Yizhe also discovered her difference little by little.

She has just turned thirteen years old, but she is much taller than girls of the same age, and her skin is more white and tender, at this moment, the warm sun outside the window shines on her face, hands, so that her skin shows a layer of crystal luster, showing her beauty.

"Brother, what's wrong? ......" Li Sizhu couldn't help but blush when he found that Lin Yizhe was staring at him.

Although Lin Puqing has already made the decision to marry her to Lin Yizhe, but now she is still young, and Lin Yizhe is still commensurate with brother and sister, and there is no intimate contact on weekdays, and at this time, the two are alone, under Lin Yizhe's gaze, she still can't help but feel shy.

At this time, Lin Yizhe didn't think anything wrong about her beauty, but when he looked at her up close, he judged from her slightly curly long silky hair, dark blue eyes and slightly visible cheekbones that she should have Western blood.

"Hehe, there are a lot of things to do in Taiwan this time, so I didn't care about bringing you a gift......" Lin Yizhe came back to his senses, he realized that his action just now made her embarrassed, and immediately diverted the conversation.

"No, Sizhu doesn't want a gift, I just want my brother to come back safely......" Li Sizhu said softly, lowering his head, his eyes flashing a little.

"Silly girl! Isn't that coming back, brother? ......" Lin Yizhe saw that she was about to cry, and his heart was moved, remembering that she and Chen Wan must have spent these days in fear, and couldn't help but apologize.

"It's good that my brother is back......" Li Sizhu raised his head, looked at Lin Yizhe, and smiled happily.

"I'm going to tell my sister-in-law that my brother has woken up." Li Sizhu said and got up, "Brother, take a good rest." ”

"Hmm." Lin Yizhe nodded, Li Sizhu poured him another bowl of mint water, put it on the table, and then left the room.

After a while, Chen Wan's hurried figure appeared at the door.

Seeing Chen Wan's anxious and concerned gaze at her, Lin Yizhe straightened up and showed a comforting smile at her.

Chen Wan tried hard to calm herself down, she walked quickly to the bed, sat down next to Lin Yizhe, Lin Yizhe stretched out his hand to her, she gently put her hand into his palm, and the fingers of the two were naturally clasped together.

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled knowingly. The thoughts and pains of many days of separation all melted into this faint smile.

"Are you hungry?" Chen Wan asked softly.

"I've just eaten on the boat, I'm not hungry, don't be busy." Lin Yizhe shook her hand and said.

"Did you eat well on board?" Chen Wanxiang asked again as if she was uneasy.

"Not bad. By the way, this time the ship brought some Japanese beef back, and when you all try it, it tastes very good. Lin Yizhe replied with a smile.

"Japanese beef? Where did it come from? Hearing Lin Yizhe say that he brought back Japanese beef, Chen Wan couldn't help but be stunned.

"On the Japanese warship 'Mt. Fuji', there were two Japanese black cattle on that ship." Lin Yizhe replied, "During the naval battle, the artillery fire of our sailors broke through the hull of the ship, and the two cows raised in it were also killed, I have tasted it, and the meat of this kind of beef is extremely delicious, much better than our Chinese beef." One of them has been given to the soldiers to eat, and the other has been kept for you to taste. ”

Hearing that there were cows on the Japanese warship, Chen Wan also laughed.

Chen Wan didn't know at this time that the two cows raised on the Japanese warship that Lin Yizhe was talking about were actually famous Kobe cows. Kobe beef is a type of Japanese black Tajima cattle, named after the fact that it is mainly produced in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. Kobe beef has a unique way of raising it, and Kobe beef is a delicacy in Japanese cuisine, characterized by its softness, tenderness, and marbled appearance. There are various cooking methods, such as sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, teppanyaki or sashimi. Among them, Kobe beef, along with caviar, foie gras, and white truffle, is ranked sixth, and is one of Japan's most famous treasures.

In fact, it was not the Japanese who first discovered the delicious taste of Kobe beef, but Western merchants who came to Kobe in the first year of Keio (1865). At that time, there was no custom of eating beef in Japan, and cattle were usually only used for farming and transportation. Due to the influence of Buddhism, the Japanese emperor issued the "Decree of Biological Pity", which forbade people to eat meat, so that there was no open slaughterhouse in the market, and Westerners who came to Japan had to go to great lengths to eat beef. After a lot of hard work, they were amazed by the beef they ate, and Kobe beef became famous all over the world. As a result, British merchants also set up Japan's first beef shop. It wasn't until 1872, when the first Japanese-run meat slaughtering market, the Birds and Beasts Trading Company, was established, that beef came off the tables of foreigners and wealthy people and became a delicacy of the Japanese people.

The reason why the "Mt. Fuji" has two Kobe cows on board is not only to serve as pets on warships, but also to serve as meat when necessary.

At this time, Chen Wan didn't know that these delicious beef brought back by Lin Yizhe would have such a life experience.

And when she thought of the cruelty of the naval battle, even the cattle hiding in the cabin could not be spared from the artillery fire, Chen Wan's heart couldn't help but shrink again.

"This battle was fought so fiercely...... You...... You okay? Chen Wan restrained her smile and looked at Lin Yizhe steadily, "These days, I'm afraid of you ......" Her voice was a little choked, and she didn't say any more.

"I'm afraid I'll go with Aya?" Lin Yizhe looked at Chen Wan, whose face was much thinner, and knew that the sadness in her heart was no less than her own, so she pretended to smile aloud relaxedly, "Do you look like I'm injured?" ”

"Now that I see it, I'm relieved......" Chen Wan smiled, but tears flowed down. She realized that crying at this time would make Lin Yizhe think of Aya and be sad, so she quickly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

"Did you see those news in the newspapers?" Lin Yizhe thought of the foreign newspapers about the war that he had seen during his stay in Jilong Harbor, and comforted her with a smile, "Those words are not true, in fact, they are not what they say." ”

"But you still went ashore to participate in the battle yourself." Chen Wan sighed, "On the battlefield, knives and guns are really eyeless...... I didn't quite understand why my dad always said this, but now I know it......"

"Yes! Swords and guns have no eyes, and those who can survive on the battlefield are lucky......" Lin Yizhe sighed, he looked at his saber hanging on the wall a little sluggishly, his deep eyes flashed faintly, and he said for a long time: "I can't remember how many people I killed......" When he said this, his two thick eyebrows were already wrinkled together, and his handsome face became gloomy.

In front of his eyes, the event that happened before the crossing suddenly appeared again that he would never forget.

The Japanese who killed to avenge Aya on the battlefield and the thugs who killed to save Zhao Yuetong are different after all......

In fact, it is not the first time that he has killed someone......

Lin Yizhe was silent, and after a long time, he heard his voice that was slightly hoarse due to physical discomfort just now: "This is the first time I have killed someone!" ”

Chen Wan's body shook suddenly, and a hint of realization suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Lin Yizhe lay on her lap and gently closed his eyes - many days had passed, but he still had in his mind the eyes that almost protruded from the death of Saigo Congdao, who he had sniped at himself, and his nose always seemed to smell the blood on the battlefield.

"yes...... After all, it's the first time to ......" Chen Wan bowed her head slightly, "I really don't want to have a next time......

She was the speaker of the unintentional, but Lin Yizhe on the side knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings- "Wan'er," he squeezed her hand, "Don't worry, I won't be like this again in the future......"

"Hmm." Chen Wan looked at him tenderly, caressing his cheek with her hand, and her heart was full of pleasure.

"I've been gone for a few days, has Wan'er heard anything else?" Lin Yizhe held her soft palm and asked casually.

Chen Wanxiu raised her eyebrows. She pondered for a moment before she asked tentatively, "Kunyu is talking about Liu Xuan?" ”

Before she finished speaking, Lin Yizhe had already opened his eyes, and he looked Chen Wan up and down with a surprised gaze. The look on his face was also full of surprise.

"Kunyu thinks this news is spreading too quickly?" Chen Wan smiled slightly, lowered her head to look at him, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Although I have been at home for a few months, the news that you rushed directly into the government office in Tainan City to arrest Liu Xuan has already been spread, where can you escape the ears of the next people, let alone ......"

Her eyes flashed, "As far as those things in your officialdom are concerned, anyone with a little heart can understand them...... That Liu Xuan is Zuo Jigao's confidant......" Chen Wan covered her mouth and smiled, "Kunyu is right, this kind of traitorous villain must be eradicated as soon as possible, but this time, Kunyu has done too much child's play, and it will be passed out, which is not so good." ”

"I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly...... Lin Yizhe nodded, and said: "At that time, I was angry, and I was a little Meng Lang, but I didn't arrest him, I was afraid that he would attack me." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yizhe no longer had a smile on his face, "He actually said that I was arrogant, connived at the killing of the Japanese by the Fanmin, and led the Japanese to attack, and said that I knew that the Penghu Naval Division was inferior to the Japanese Navy, so I transferred it to participate in the war, and afterwards the rescue was not urgent, resulting in the annihilation of the Penghu Naval Division, and also said that I led the Japanese army to slaughter the hinterland of Taiwan, so that the people were miserable...... All the bad things he did were piled up on my head, and he really deserved to be a dog in Zuo Jigao! ”

Thinking of Liu Xuan's impeachment of himself that he didn't have time to send, Lin Yizhe's anger rose in his heart.

"Since Kunyu has already arrested him, he has gone to a big heartbeat." Chen Wan looked at Lin Yizhe and said, "The top priority is to report the evil deeds of this thief to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to punish him, so as to prevent Zuo Jigao from recurring after knowing the news." ”

"What Wan'er said is that I should join Lord Li, Lord Wang, General Wen and my uncle to go up to the fold and ask the court to punish Liu Xuan's crimes." Lin Yizhe got up and sat up as he spoke.

"Kunyu guesses I don't know yet......" Chen Wan heard Lin Yizhe's answer, and said softly, "Lord Wang Kaitai, you ...... died."

"Oh?" Lin Yizhe couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that the original governor of Fujian, Wang Kaitai, had passed away, "When did it happen?" ”

"Three days ago." Chen Wan said, "You are not at home, I discussed it with Mr. Xu, sent a couplet and a condolence gift, and Mrs. Wang sent someone to say that before Lord Wang died, he specially wrote a suicide note to Kunyu and asked her to hand it over to Kunyu in person." ”

"The suicide note that Lord Wang gave me?" Lin Yizhe couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Chen Wan's words.

Lin Yizhe knew that there was no personal relationship between himself and Wang Kaitai except for official contact, and Wang Kaitai would leave him a suicide note, which can be said to be completely unexpected.

"Kunyu doesn't know yet, right? I heard Mr. Xu say that Lord Wang made a mistake and took all the responsibility for the bombardment of Xiamen by Japanese ships and the annihilation of the entire Xiamen Navy Division on himself. Chen Wan said.

"What?" Lin Yizhe was taken aback when he heard this.

"Kunyu can know that since you became the superintendent of Tainan, there have been officials who have been impeached by you. Xiamen was bombed, the sailors were overturned, and those officials came to the momentum, thinking that it was a great crime of 'misleading the country and harming the people' and 'indulging in the enemy'. Chen Wan's voice was not loud, but it was full of unspeakable grief and indignation, "The discussion is turbulent, my uncle is so anxious that he can't do it, and the excerpt is completely useless to defend you, Mr. Xu doesn't know the details of this battle, and he doesn't dare to defend himself for you easily, so he can only write to Li Zhitai, asking Li Zhengtai to say the item to the sixth prince on his behalf, and send someone to Beijing to find Manager Li to dredge, and ask Manager Li to speak well in front of the Queen Mother...... But the Qing Discussion still refuses to give up......"

"Then Lord Wang folded and took all the responsibilities off?" Lin Yizhe understood, and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

"It's ......" Chen Wan nodded, "Soon after the excerpt went up, the imperial court issued a decree to let Lord Wang return to his hometown to recuperate, but within a few days of the decree, Lord Wang passed away......"

"Quickly ask someone to invite Mr. Xu over, and by the way, bring the copy of the mansion with Lord Wang's excerpts, I want to take a look." Hearing all this, Lin Yizhe was moved and sad at the same time.

Chen Wan called the servant to invite Xu Run, and after a long time, Xu Run hurried over with the newspaper.

"Shicai is on business in Fuya, and I don't know that the adult has already returned home, and I should have come to visit the adult earlier." Xu Run said apologetically, "I hope that the adults will forgive their sins." ”

"Where did Mr. Xu come from?" Lin Yizhe looked at Xu Run, who was white-haired, with a thin face and sunken eyes, and knew that he was also working extremely hard for a while, so he was very unhappy, so he immediately got up and stepped forward, took Xu Run's hand, and asked him to sit down.

"This is a copy of the mansion that the adults wanted." Xu Run handed over the newspaper in his hand to Lin Yizhe's hand, and sighed, "This time, it's really thanks to Lord Wang......"

Lin Yizhe took the newspaper and opened it, found the excerpt that Wang Kaitai gave to the court, which could be said to be his "testament", and looked at it carefully.

"The military situation is urgent, and the minister's strength is difficult to support, according to the facts, and pray for the holy deeds."

"It is extremely critical for the thieves to raise troops and attack Taiwan. According to the previous report, Minister of Taiwan Affairs Lin Yizhe repeatedly sent letters to Premier Yamen on his behalf. Now receiving the ship report, the Japanese sent reinforcements to Taiwan, strayed into the chicken coop, and repelled the defenders. Lin Yizhe did not report it again, and it was rumored that the army had been destroyed by Lin Yizhe's ship. The four ships of the ship's administration and sailors who were sent to Taiwan to protect the Sheng army fought viciously with the Japanese ships on the sea of Fengshan Island for a long time, and they were destroyed and sunk by mutual transmission. And according to reports from various countries, the Japanese will invade Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Ningbo with a large force. Youyun plotted to attack Jinling and Shanghai. At present, the naval and army armies have suffered new setbacks, and the ferocity is growing day by day. The subordinates were careless in Fujian, causing Xiamen to be bombarded by Japanese ships, and there were many crimes and accusations, which was really unexcuseable. So far, there are those who dare not put their heads in front of the Holy Lord and coordinate the overall situation. ”

At the beginning of the Fang Wei incident, Chinese and foreign commentators despised the small Oriental countries, thinking that they were not enough and were deeply worried. And the minister has been through hardships for a long time, knows a little about current affairs, and thinks about it all night, and is really worried about the troubles, and it is difficult to collect it. It has not been a day since Minoru Gai knew that the Japanese were planning to make difficulties with China. Judging each other's bluntness, especially dare not take it lightly. Where the march is victorious, the naval battle is only based on the ship artillery, and the land battle is only the gun and cannon, and the slightest advantage is very different. In recent years, the Japanese have been bent on administering the army, specializing in Western law, and pouring their national funds to purchase ship weapons. China was limited by financial resources and constrained by ministerial discussions, and was unable to let go of the organization. When the ministers pacified Fujian and Taiwan, they mostly took civil affairs as their top priority, built water conservancy, reclaimed farmland, and did not add to coastal defense and land defense. However, because of the support for the northwest, although the shipmaster tried his best every year, only a few ships were obtained, so there were too few steam clippers and Western artillery of the naval division, which was not only insufficient to keep his mouth, but also difficult to command the ...... of naval warfare."
