Xu Run noticed that Lin Yizhe's forehead was bruised, and a pair of eyes seemed to be about to burst out of his sockets, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"My lord? My lord? Xu Run called softly.

Lin Yizhe turned a deaf ear to Xu Run's call, and his eyes were fixed on the letterhead.

Every word on the letter seemed to pierce his heart like a sharp knife.

“…… Fan women know loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, which can be described as difficult, and it is also the supreme honor to die in state affairs, and the court is entitled, that is, for this reason. …… I despise him for not avoiding shame, seducing you with lust, and respecting his martyrdom alone. …… The defense of Yixia, the great Lun of the country, cannot be abolished. I mourn for you, not to admit your mistakes, but to impeach you to marry a non-kind, but for the foundation of the Holy Grace, out of righteousness, not for personal grudges, with your wisdom, it is not difficult to discern ......"

“…… Now you are still obsessed, leading the railway to the forbidden garden, seducing the king with kitsch, and wanting to set up a sea department, to become a feudal town, and all kinds of contradictions, innumerable,...... Thou art cut off from Shilin, what face will he have in the future to see Nazu Lin Wenzhong underground? I am telling you, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor Shenghui is insightful, although I am confused by your clever words for a while, I will definitely see everything in the future,...... Thou shalt haste to come up to the table of self-impeachment, and bitterly confess the sin of thou shalt pervert the Lord's transgression, or thou shalt atone for thy past sins, and thou shalt not bring thy grandfather to shame, and thou shalt not repent and commit many unrighteous acts, and sooner or later thou shalt retribution......

After reading the letter, which was full of vicious words, Lin Yizhe's body couldn't help but tremble.

"Kunyu!" Xu Run saw that Lin Yizhe's eyes seemed to be on fire, he had never seen Lin Yizhe so angry, worried that he would be angry, so he immediately stepped forward and snatched the letter down.

Lin Yizhe came back to his senses at this time, but his gaze still did not leave the letter.

"Ding Baozhen! …… Your **** of the archway! Lin Yizhe angrily snatched the letter back from Xu Run's hand and tore it fiercely.

In a few moments, the letter paper dissolved into countless tiny fragments.

"Ding Baozhen, I will never spare you! ......" Lin Yizhe's eyes were cracked, and he roared loudly, and the sound shook the roof tiles.

Xu Run did not persuade Lin Yizhe again, but leaned down and picked up the pieces of paper one by one.

Lin Yizhe looked at Xu Run's old rickety figure blankly, as if he suddenly understood something, he clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down.

"What is the use of this, sir?" Lin Yizhe asked in a hoarse voice.

"If you want to take revenge in the future, this letter is physical evidence, and you must leave it behind." Xu Run didn't look back, he replied while continuing to pick up the fragments of the letter, for fear of losing a piece.

Lin Yizhe came to his senses, his heart was warm, and he also leaned down to help Xu Run pick up the pieces.

In a short time, all the pieces of the letter were picked up, and Xu Run packed them all in the envelope and carefully put them away.

At this time, Chen Wan heard Lin Yizhe's roar just now, and several maids hurried into the room, seeing that Lin Yizhe had regained his calm, Chen Wan's heart was a little calm, she looked at Lin Yizhe and Xu Run, and didn't understand why Lin Yizhe was so angry just now.

"The old man is retired." Xu Run said, bowing to Lin Yizhe and his wife.

Lin Yizhe silently replied, and Xu Run turned around and exited the door.

"Kunyu, what's wrong with you? What happened? Chen Wan stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yizhe's hand, feeling that the originally warm hands had somehow become cold now, she couldn't help but be shocked again, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just a **** who wants to set up an archway to get angry, don't worry." Lin Yizhe had completely regained his composure at this time, he looked at Chen Wan and smiled comfortingly at her.

Lin Yizhe didn't know at this time, almost just now, when he was angry because of Ding Baozhen's letter, Ding Baozhen, who was far away in Jinan Mansion, Shandong, was also furious because he had just received the edict from the newspaper.

"How can this be true? Three sparse impeachments, it turned out to be such a result! It's just too deceitful! ”

Seeing the furious Ding Baozhen grabbing the mansion and wanting to tear it up, the servants around him were all shocked, Ding Baozhen may have realized that there was an edict above, and he tore it up, but he committed the crime of bullying the king, so he stopped his hand and sat down angrily.

Just a few days ago, he went to three excerpts in a row, impeached Lin Yizhe, and supported the Qing gossip officials headed by Li Deshui, the imperial historian. He thought that he could kick Lin Yizhe out of the navy yamen this time, but what he never expected was that the result of his excerpt was that Li Deshui and others were dismissed from their posts and never used, and they were also "sent to Ryukyu and sent to serve in front of the army (washing the trousers of the soldiers)"!

"As soon as the new monarch is established, the queen mother will humiliate the scholars like this, Sven will not exist, the holy religion will be lost, and the country will not be a country! The country will not be a country! Thinking of the possible fate of Li Deshui and others, Ding Baozhen couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Ding Baozhen's attitude of worrying about the country and the people, the servants around him were all moved.

The servants were about to persuade when a servant rushed in from outside, with a letter in his hand.

"Master, a letter from Tianjin Li Boxiang has arrived." The servant reported to Ding Baozhen.

"Show me!" Hearing the servant's words, Ding Baozhen took a heavy breath and said.

The servant hurriedly stepped forward and presented the letter, Ding Baozhen took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and read it.

This letter is Li Hongzhang's reply to his inquiry on "how to prepare for coastal defense."

"Fu Ding Zhihuang Gong Bao:

When inquired about coastal defense, the loyalty and diligence of the public were clearly revealed. Hongzhang is foolish, and he is not sure about this matter, and he is only ashamed. Zhang Dao is in Tianjin, Yan knocks Fang Sheng, has checked the regulations of the Machinery Bureau, brought back to Yantai, and wants to have been approved by the Shang Zun Department. The matters that should be reverted are hereby listed below.

The ocean surface of the eastern province is scattered, and it is impossible to prevent it. In the future, a huge amount of money will be collected, and it is necessary to create an army of sailors according to the original proposal of the General Administration, with more than a dozen iron armor and large and small soldiers, stationed between Strangut Temple Island and Lushunkou, so as to consolidate the gateway to the Beiyang. But at present, the power cannot be done. It should be as respected, first take care of the provincial passes, and choose the first place to build a platform in Yantai, Dengzhou, and Weihai, especially Yantai as the first and most important. The situation in its mouth is also scattered, and it seems appropriate to briefly build several places, which are horns. Temporary or can be choked. According to the new theory of defending the sea, when the Citi between the north and the south was fighting, the ironclad warships were imported and rushed straight through more than a dozen forts and went deeper, although the platforms were strong and the artillery was numerous, they might not be able to resist the enemy. Only the land is a little stronger. The fort practice is not only different from each other in the provinces of Middle-earth, but also from the countries of the West. Most of them use sand to build the foundation, and the outside and the top are thick to build triple soil, which can be expected to last for a long time. Wrapping it in a few inches of iron plate is similar to the newly built platform of Wusongjiang, and it costs more. Zhang Daomian said that he planned to hire a foreign craftsman Dong Qizhi to serve, and when he heard that Li Yuting had built a fort in Zhejiang Province by the army, he hired a foreign division to do it, and the total cost was tens of thousands, which had not yet been caused, so it seemed that he had to be cautious at the beginning. Or recruit skilled craftsmen from all over the place, and refer to it for stability.

The machine building bureau is close to the coast where foreign ships cannot be moored. Zhang Daomian submitted to the committee members to investigate the intersection of Wei and Chang, there is the Bailang River, the situation is suitable, the cost of labor is still provincial, it is unknown whether it can be decided immediately after the re-survey? Whether it is to make pills and guns, it is inconvenient to take all the materials from overseas. Coal and iron can be mined and used first, and the rest of the miscellaneous materials are still mostly ordered by Shanghai, which can be pre-reserved. Xu Ling Jianyin, who came to Tianjin in the middle of this covenant, has not yet arrived, and will go to the east to ask for instructions when the time comes.

Nothing is done without money, statistics on the construction of three forts, there are no worries about dozens, the cost of building the forts, the purchase of guns, a total of about one million inside and outside, that is, the preparation of one or two, it seems that hundreds of thousands of dollars are also needed, but they can be complete. The machine bureau can be large or small, but to create a foundation house, a little to buy a machine, a total of 200,000 gold. For long-term use, at least tens of thousands of dollars are needed. This is all up to date. If the width is narrow, it is not more than that. Respect the two colleagues to create a new initiative, and plan to raise more than 300,000 yuan. It's hard to keep up with it. As for the items referred to, such as the customs standing tax and the temporary customs section, they must be refuted. Or transfer the provincial military training and other expenses to the tariff, and use the surplus profits of cents and salt to offset the coastal defense, if there is not much input, or build a fort first, Xu Yiji Bureau, so as not to be temporarily exhausted, I would like to ask for a decision. As for the coastal defense of the South and North Oceans, although special funds have been allocated, the tax revenues are not enough for the provincial customs, and they can never be explained in full. This has already been briefly mentioned in the previous letter. Even if hundreds of thousands can be allocated every year, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be divided between the north and the south, what will it do! Contemptible people respectfully guard the key of Gyeonggi, empty fists, accomplish nothing, and often feel guilty. The General Administration also ordered the water practitioners, and the Japanese compensation has not yet arrived, and I don't know when and when the huge amount of money can be opened? The deacon's plan to set up a fort and a machine bureau is a plan to defend the province, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation of Beiyang, so he has not used this money, which has caused suffocation. If it refers to the two items of gold and salt profits, gradually raise for maintenance, do not seek quick results, accumulate for a long time when there is a small scale, or first cover the general idea, and play the case (can be used as a title), or there is no need to specialize, and hope to seize the government. In short, the times are extremely difficult, and the material resources are extremely embarrassing, and it is not enough to do this important thing. The former Lin Kunyu Fujun had the idea of borrowing foreign debts, such as the former commissioner of Zuo Ji Gao Jieshuai, and the interest price was better, and the method was more detailed. National affairs are difficult, and my generation is in the situation, only to abandon prejudices, operate according to our capabilities, and get an inch and a ruler. Su Meng's beloved, dare to pay tribute to foolishness. ”

After reading the letter, Ding Baozhen's hands trembled uncontrollably.

He never expected that the letter he wrote to Li Hongzhang was just a letter of concern for the imperial court's assembly on coastal defense, but he received such a real reply from Li Hongzhang!

Seeing the news that Lin Yizhe was preparing to "borrow foreign debts" to handle coastal defense revealed in Li Hongzhang's letter, Ding Baozhen was furious, his eyes were black, his throat was sweet, and he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

"Sir! Master! The servants were shocked and immediately rushed to the rescue.

"If you borrow foreign debts, the country will die!" Ding Baozhen took the letter that was already stained with blood and screamed.
