Pei Jinquan was stunned.

Deng Zhengqing suddenly turned his head to look out the window, at this time, the sun outside was close to noon, which was extraordinarily bright, stabbing his eyes, but making Deng Zhengqing's mood calm down in an instant.

"Min Xiu......" He turned his head again, looking at Pei Jinquan in front of him with blazing eyes, "You just came from Hong Kong, Hong Kong has been occupied by the British for many years, now you look at this Stusi people, do anyone still remember the shame of ceding the city and giving up the land?" ”

Pei Jinquan was slightly stunned. He moved his lips with some hesitation, but he still didn't say a word.

The three of them were speechless for a moment.

The hour hand of the floor-to-ceiling chiming clock from Guangzhou points steadily to the Arabic numerals symbolizing 12 o'clock. A dull bell rang out.

"Zhengqing doesn't have to worry too much...... Bei Jinquan lowered his eyebrows, gently stirred the black tea in the cup with a spoon, and said in a gentle tone: "It's all my own people here, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it." We have already shared weal and woe, but we can know everything without scruples, and this is Japan, so there is no need to worry. ”

Thinking of Lin Yizhe, Pei Jinquan had a warm feeling in his heart.

"Deng thinks that the reason why the death of the three princes cannot awaken my will to hate the same enemy of the whole country is that the people's wisdom has not been opened! As the so-called family and country, the people of our country, because most of them are poor and have no Sichuan capital to go to school, so there are many illiterate people, and all the foolish people of this generation often have a home but no country in their hearts, and regard state affairs as if they have nothing to do with their own external affairs, so they are almost completely concerned about the rise and fall of the country, and naturally they will not have the idea of serving the country because of the death of the three princes. Deng Zhengqing said bluntly.

"As for those who have been educated by the saints since childhood...... the corners of Deng Zhengqing's mouth unconsciously showed a sarcastic smile. What it is concerned about. It's just a name! is the so-called fame, fortune, fame and fortune. The name is in the first place, what is the name, stick to the so-called four books and five classics of the sage's teaching! These people are like the gossip officer, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality to serve the country, but in their bones all the time they are always thinking about how to drill the camp to seek the rank of promotion. ”

In a word. In the final analysis, it is just one sentence, that is, my great cadres are conservative today, and they are already walking corpses, and there is no trace of vitality at all. Therefore, Deng thought that it was ......" Deng Zhengqing looked at Bei Jinquan and Ye Fu who were stunned on the other side, and a rare trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but finally he said: "Although this foreign affairs have been a small success, like the battle of Moss Bay to defeat the Japanese invaders." That is, thanks to the prosperity of foreign affairs, but for the great cadres. It's just the light of a grain of rice. Our country's accumulated ills are already terminally ill, and we cannot save them unless we make a big move, and we have a strong army and a strong navy...... At most, it's just pasting and whitewashing! ”

At this time, although Pei Jinquan and Ye Fu were quite calm on the surface, they had already set off a monstrous wave in their hearts!

"Laminating, whitewashing......"

"An unborn young talent like Lin Wenxiang, although he is young, has such a feat, he can be described as a hero in the world, but in the final analysis, he is just a small pastemaker......" Deng Zhengqing sighed, "It's a pity that I went too early......

"Zhengqing, be cautious." Ye Fu smiled bitterly and said, "If such words reach the mouth of the speaker, you and I will lose our lives!" ”

"This generation has harmed Lin Wenxiang's life, and I haven't settled accounts with them yet!" Deng Zhengqing thought of Lin Yizhe, who had passed away, and tears flashed in his eyes, "One day, I will kill this generation completely!" ”

Hearing Deng Zhengqing's words, Bei Jinquan and Ye Fu couldn't help but clench their fists.

Deng Zhengqing is straightforward by nature, and this time it can be said that he and many shipmasters and sailors have spoken their hearts.

"I didn't understand that Japan's Saigo Takamori, who was originally the father of the Restoration and a very popular minister, why did he want to act like this, and I only know the reason today." Pei Jinquan looked at Deng Zhengqing and sighed, "Presumably, when this person acts, what he thinks in his heart is the same as Shichang......"

"Saigo is prosperous, and the people are also excellent." Deng Zhengqing looked out the window and looked at Osaka Castle, which was a lively scene, "We can help such a person this time, and it is not a grievance." ”

Hearing the latter sentence of Deng Zhengqing, Bei Jinquan and Ye Fu squeezed their eyes at him in unison, Deng Zhengqing smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

There was a whistle in the distance, and the three of them turned their eyes to the window.

"Isn't Mitsubishi loyal to the Japanese government? Why are all the Mitsubishi ships here under the Satsuma flag? Ye Fu looked at the merchant ships that were raising the flag in the distance, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

"The Japanese government led the Russian tiger and wolf division into the country to assist in quelling the rebellion, and the Japanese civilians were mostly harmed by the Russian army's prostitution, and the Japanese government was greatly disappointed. Deng Zhengqing said. As for the various misdeeds of the Russian army after entering Japan, they, the members of the "international supervision fleet", know very well.

Just as the three of them were talking, they heard a sudden sound of footsteps in their ears.

"My lord! Telegraph! A telegram from Kyoshi! A midshipman hurried into the officer's canteen, holding a telegram in his hand.

Pei Jinquan recognized the midshipman as one of the officers of the British Telegraph Company he had arranged for him to guard in Osaka, and immediately got up to meet him, took the telegram from his hand and began to read it.

“…… Hearing that the Russian ship group had set off for Dongying, the General Administration discussed with the British minister and decided not to allow the Russian ships to participate in the war...... If the rebel naval division attacks the Russian ship, it can be dissuaded from acting rashly and not giving the Russian truth, and if the Russian ship wants to attack the rebel naval division, it should be blocked with all its might, and if the rebel naval division resists by force, then the arson can attack it. …… In short, this time we should send troops, do not create more momentum, deter the Russians, and prevent them from carrying out their cunning schemes......"

Seeing the murderous telegram sent by Ding Yusheng, Pei Jinquan couldn't help but gasp.

Bei Jinquan handed the telegram to Deng Zhengqing, and after Deng Zhengqing read it, he smiled slightly and handed the telegram to Ye Fu.

"As Zhengqing guessed, our army came to Japan this time, not just to watch the battle and protect overseas Chinese." Ye Fu said with admiration on his face.

"How did Zhengqing guess the mission of our army?" Pei Jinquan asked in surprise.

"We're five boats. But the elite of the Great Water Dryer. This time I came to Japan. It's not just for people to see. Deng Zhengqing said with a smile, "If you want to protect overseas Chinese, a few small boats are enough, can you use such a battle?" In addition, the Maritime Affairs Department has been telegraphing our naval division to strengthen its combat readiness, and also ordered our division's ships to enter Hong Kong first to 'repair' and replenish coal, water, grain and straw, and then come to Japan. Needless to say? ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Zhengqing." Pei Jinquan nodded admiringly.

"In this case, we must unload this 'cargo' tonight, otherwise if we exchange fire with the Russians, we will blow up, and you and I will be left with no bones." Ye Fu couldn't help grinning when he thought of the "goods" loaded on the transport ships of his fleet.

"It's natural, and it's important to get this cargo ashore tonight." Deng Zhengqing looked at the shore, "These goods are Hanpeng's weapon against the Russians." Hanpeng may come and accept ...... in person"

Hearing Deng Zhengqing say that Lin Yiqing might come to pick up the goods in person at night, Pei Jinquan and Ye Fu's eyes flashed with strange brightness.

"Zhengqing. You've seen him, he's ...... Is it really exactly the same as Lin Wenxiang? Ye Fu couldn't help but ask.

"If you see him, I'm afraid you'll mistake him for Lin Wenxiang." Deng Zhengqing smiled and said.

"The appearance is absolutely similar, I don't know if it is the same...... Pei Jinquan said, took out a revolver pinned to his waist and looked at it.

This gun was a gift from Lin Yizhe when he and Lin Yizhe first met.

At that time, Pei Jinquan had just served as the pipe band of the first steam warship "Wan Nianqing" in Middle-earth, and his ability to serve as the pipe band of the "first ship in the world" at that time was not unrelated to Lin Yizhe's recommendation.

Now, Pei Jinquan has become the commander of the shipmaster, but Lin Yizhe is no longer there......

Thinking of this, Pei Jinquan's eyes were a little blurred by tears.

"Hehe, Min Xiu, in my opinion, this person has talent, but I'm afraid it's still above Lin Wenxiang." Deng Zhengqing understood what Pei Jinquan meant, and said with a smile.

"Why did Zhengqing say that?" Pei Jinquan took a deep breath, put away his gun, and looked up and asked.

"Not to mention anything else, this person can serve as the commander of more than 100,000 Satsuma troops as a cloth cloth guest, so that he is happy and convinced, like an arm, he has not experienced a single defeat, this ability is rare in the world, but I am afraid that Lin Wenxiang is alive, it is difficult to do." Deng Zhengqing said.

"What Shichang said is that I heard that the Russians also suffered a big loss in his hands this time, and they were defeated in the first battle, and more than 3,000 people were beheaded, and they didn't dare to act rashly after that." Ye Fu also said, "This kind of record is rare in Middle Earth!" ”

"In this case, we people are equivalent to having the backbone again...... Pei Jinquan looked at the two comrades who had been born and died together, and could not hide the joy in his heart, "I hope that they will return to the country as soon as possible and achieve great causes......

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, no longer speaking, but looked out at the sky at the same time, looking forward to the arrival of night in their hearts.

In the evening, under the bright moonlight, the port wharf was quiet, but the cruiser "Kaiji" of Qianguo moored on the shore gave out a flickering light signal.

After a while, six large transport ships headed for the shore.

These six transport ships, namely "Fubo", "Anlan", "Chenhang", "Yongbao", "Haijing" and "Daya", which belonged to the Qianguo Steamship China Merchants Company, can be said to be all the main forces of the China Merchants Steamship Company, but this time they suddenly appeared in Osaka Port.

As the logistical support force of a fleet composed of five warships, the China Merchants Steamship Bureau actually dispatched such a large fleet, which in the eyes of outsiders is a bit of a fuss.

After a while, the people who remained at the pier suddenly noticed something unusual. The Satsuma soldiers in black uniforms and straw hats gathered like a surging black tide, and under the orders of the officers, they came to the dock and began martial law, and then the workers of the brigade came to the dock.

Soon after, the workers on the shore began the bargeing operation, and one by one the huge boxes left the transport ship, were transported to the shore, and then loaded into wagons and transported away from the docks, and each time the wagons departed, they were escorted by several Satsuma soldiers with loaded guns

The onlookers from afar felt the unusual atmosphere, and many foreigners were talking about it, and some foreign reporters who had rushed to hear the news asked the Satsuma officers on the shore about the situation.

"What is this doing?"

"The supplies purchased by our mine are delivered at night in order to prevent sabotage by the enemy's spies. And send troops to protect it. The Satsuma officer replied.

"These materials were purchased from Qianguo?" The foreign correspondent asked.

"Nope. The goods were procured from France. However, the French side entrusted the transportation by ship of the Qianguo. The Satsuma officer explained, "They were all materials used for production, and there was no violation of neutrality, so both France and the Qianguo undertook the deal." ”

"That's right." The foreign correspondent didn't hear anything about it, so he stopped asking. However, as the eyeliner arranged by the Russian side in Osaka, he decided to inform the Russians of this situation.

It's just that he wouldn't have thought that if the Russians knew what these "supplies" were, they would be shocked.

Kunyu ...... Is it really you? ”

On the deck of the cruiser "Kaiji". When Pei Jinquan saw Lin Yiqing, he really regarded him as Lin Yizhe as Deng Zhengqing said. He couldn't help but rush forward and hold Lin Yiqing's hand.

"Master Pei, this is Han Peng, Lin Wenxiang's twin brother, not Lin Wenxiang." As if knowing that Pei Jinquan would be so excited, Deng Zhengqing said with a smile.

Pei Jinquan suddenly understood, but still didn't let go of Lin Yiqing's hand.

"I've seen Lord Pei." Lin Yiqing smiled and gave a Western-style military salute to Pei Jinquan with his other hand.

"Hanpeng...... You've done a great job! Pei Jinquan forced himself to calm down, but his voice still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. This time, on the orders of Lord Ding, the arms were delivered. I didn't need to come, but I just wanted to meet Hanpeng......"

"Thank you for your concern, I am grateful." Lin Yiqing understood why Pei Jinquan was excited, and said with a smile, "Master Pei doesn't have to be anxious, brother, I also look forward to returning to my homeland as soon as possible and creating a great cause with you." ”

"What's the situation now? Can I help you? Pei Jinquan knew that this was not the time to catch up, so he immediately asked about business.

"The arrival of this batch of 'Dai Namat' can solve the urgent need, and now the Russians are constantly increasing their troops, and the Russians have poor tactics, only relying on their large artillery, and there are not many artillery on my side, so we can only use these fierce gunpowder to make up for the lack of artillery power." Lin Yiqing looked at Pei Jinquan, Deng Zhengqing and others and said, "It is estimated that the Russian army will attack in a big way in the near future, and at that time, Lord Pei and you will have to take care of it by sea." ”

"Lord Ding has a telegram here, asking us to wait to block the Russian Navy's attack." Pei Jinquan said, and showed Lin Yiqing the telegram sent to him by the Minister of Shipping, Ding Yusheng.

"Lord Ding's heart of love is really touchable." Lin Yiqing finished reading the telegram and sighed, "It's just that if it is true that our ship and the Russian ship exchange fire, I am afraid that the Russians will use this as an excuse to let their navy participate in the war, and it will not be easy to do." ”

"The Russians may not dare to fire at our ship first," Deng Zhengqing said with a smile on the side, "If the Russian ship moves recklessly at that time, Deng has his own way to control it, that is, he can sink them without artillery!" ”

Listening to Deng Zhengqing's words, Pei Jinquan, Ye Fu, Lu Wenjing and other captains were all taken aback.

"Shichang, what are you going to do?" Lu Wenjing asked.

"What are the angles of attack of our boats for?" Deng Zhengqing looked at everyone with a smile, "If the Russian ship really dares to use force regardless of international law, I, Deng, will use this angle of attack to disembowel them!" ”

"Wonderful!" Lu Wenjing and Ye Fu suddenly understood, and couldn't help but stroke their palms and laugh.

Lin Yiqing also understood, thinking of the knife-sharp underwater angle of the battleship equipment under his feet and his heroic courage in the original historical time and space, his heart was also excited.

It was the collision that withstood the rain of bullets from the enemy ships, and did all their best but the ambition was unrewarded, that created an immortal monument!

"This is a good way, let's go down and think about it after a while." Ye Fu said with a smile.

"Among the goods this time, there are 20 Krupp 7-life and half-line guns, which are now purchased by Lord Ding from Germany, disassembled and assembled into boxes, and shipped together." Deng Zhengqing said, "The ammunition is packed separately, and it is all in this shipment, and Hanpeng can go back to check it." ”

"Let Lord Ding bother again, these cannons are worth a lot of money, I should quickly transfer the money when I go back." Lin Yiqing heard that Ding Yusheng had sent him 20 Krupp 75mm cannons, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

"Needless to say, the price is not to be said." Deng Zhengqing waved his hand and said with a smile, "Lord Ding explained that these prices are all borne by the Rothschild office, and the price of 'Dai Na Mai' is also borne by them, so this time Hanpeng doesn't have to let us ship back to Yinyang." ”

Hearing Deng Zhengqing's words, Sarah's face instantly appeared in front of Lin Yiqing.

Up to now, a large part of the war expenses of the Satsuma army are all supported by Sarah's financial resources!

This time, she saved herself a lot of money......

She has spared no effort to support herself, that is to say, this "noble business" has now reached a very critical stage.

It's just that I don't know if the secret operation on her side will be as successful as herself......

Lin Yiqing retracted his thoughts, and talked with Bei Jinquan, Deng Zhengqing and others for a while before leaving. Seeing Lin Yiqing get off the "Kaiji" cruiser alone and quickly disappear into the crowd, Pei Jinquan actually had a hint of amazement.

"Min Xiu, what do you think of this person's talent?" Deng Zhengqing approached Bei Jinquan and asked in a low voice.

"What Shi Chang said is true, this person's talent is by no means comparable to you and me, and it is not inferior to Lin Wenxiang." Pei Jinquan sighed, "It's really Lin Wenxiang's brother......" (to be continued......
