"But this can't be blamed on Haruko, Haruko is a pure-hearted and kind-hearted child, and of course she will pay more attention to beautiful things." Lin Yiqing looked at Eto Haruko's shining eyes, "However, I hope Haruko can be more comprehensive when observing things in the future, in that case, it will be of great help to me in the future." ”

"I see." Haruko Eto nodded solemnly.

"However, Haruko, in the next few days from now, maybe you'll see something not so good, I hope you don't mind." Lin Yiqing remembered the "advice" given to him by Xu Chuanlong, and smiled and gave Eto Haruko a preventive shot first.

"It's okay." Haruko Eto said firmly, "As long as I'm by the general's side, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

Lin Yiqing looked at Eto Haruko, and then remembered the suffering she had experienced of losing her father and brother, as well as the test of war that she had experienced, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

She has endured so much suffering at a young age, and she must give her a stable life as much as possible.

After coming out of Eto Haruko's room, Lin Yiqing returned to his cabin, at which point Junichi Takagi and Iwaneyamato returned and reported to him that everything had been arranged. Lin Yiqing knew that he just had to wait and see what happened.

But to his surprise, nothing happened for several days.

The "Weijing" arrived in Nanjing smoothly, Lin Yiqing and his party went ashore, and someone from the Governor's Office had already come to greet them, because they got the news very early, and the preparations for the Governor's Office were very sufficient, but Lin Yiqing didn't care about this, he just wanted to see Shen Youdan earlier.

Shen Youdan, the governor of Liangjiang and minister of Nanyang of the Great Qian Empire. But the founder of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau!

One hook is enough for tomorrow. What's more, Qinghui is full of ten?

Lin Yiqing couldn't help but moan softly.

This is the poem "Yongyue" written by Shen Youan when he was a teenager. It is said that the original text reads, "One hook is enough for tomorrow." Why bother to clear the light full of ten? Quite proud. And his uncle and Taishan Lin Shaomu immediately picked up the pen after reading it, and changed it to "One hook is enough for tomorrow, not to mention Qinghui full ten?" From "must" and "condition", but the difference of one word, the artistic conception of the poem has changed from the initial young madness to modest and enterprising, since then Shen Youdan has tried and failed, but still according to Lin Gong's teachings. The more frustrated he became, the more he became more and more excited, and finally in the twenty-seventh year of Shaoguang High School, Ding Weike, became the second class jinshi, and became the same year as another famous minister, Li Shaoquan, and they had a good relationship.

After a lapse of 20 years, Li Shaoquan and Shen Youdan were appointed ministers of Beiyang and Nanyang respectively, and they were both pillars of the country. In the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, Japan entered Komoss Bay, and it was these two ministers of the South and North Oceans who worked together to quickly mobilize the steam warships of the Ship Master and the elite of the Beiyang Huai Army to rush to the aid of Moss, so that they were finally able to defeat the Japanese army and force Japan to withdraw from Taiwan. Keep this treasure island in Middle-earth!

Shen Youdan is rich and talented, and he is a major game. With a lofty vision, he made great achievements in establishing a ship administration, developing Taiwan, consolidating coastal defense, and cultivating talents, and it was the pinnacle of his life's work to cooperate with Li Shaoquan and establish the first modern navy of the Daqian Empire in the midst of all kinds of difficulties and dangers!

Shen Youdan was infinitely fond of the coastal defense cause in which he participated, and when he was seriously ill, he still went to the imperial court again and again, and never forgot to set up the ironclad fleet of the Qianguo State to consolidate the coastal defense!

"Those who do not forget every meal of the ministers have not been able to buy ironclad ships so far! And the foolish of pleading, always think that the ironclad ship must be done, and the Japanese must not be despised by the Japanese! …… Looking forward to the implementation of the Queen Mother's holy decision, make a plan as soon as possible, breathe in time, and devour the umbilical cord later! ”

Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Yiqing's eyes were unconsciously a little moist.

This time I saw him, it was the first time, and it may be the last!

What would this venerable old man have to say to himself?

Accompanied by the guidance of the greeting personnel of the Liangjiang Supervision Office, Lin Yiqing and his entourage took a carriage and soon arrived at the Supervision Office.

Shen Youdan in front of him is not tall, his complexion is dark, his face is clear, and the lines on his face are like wind and frost knife carvings, especially what makes Lin Yiqing unforgettable is the kind and kind eyes, although he is sick, he looks very weak, but his eyes are still bright.

When Lin Yiqing saw it, he understood in his heart that Shen Youdan was holding on to his breath, just to see himself.

And when Shen Youan saw Lin Yiqing, his face immediately glowed with a strange look.

"Kunyu ......" In a trance, Shen Youdan actually took Lin Yiqing for Lin Yizhe, "You...... Come here...... Let me...... Take a good look at you......" he said with some eagerness.

Lin Yiqing stepped forward in response and came to Shen Youdan's bedside, and the old man nervously grabbed his hand.

Kunyu ...... You're back...... Am I not dreaming? ......," Shen Youdan muttered.

"Master, this is not a dream, but it is Hanpeng who is back, not Kunyu." Mrs. Wu whispered on the side, she looked at Lin Yiqing, and her eyes were shining with tears, "This is Kunyu's twin brother Han Peng!" ”

"Hanpeng? ......" Shen Youdan was stunned, but still held Lin Yiqing's hand tightly and refused to let go.

"Master, are you confused? Today is the day when Hanpeng comes to see you! Mrs. Wu knew that Shen Youdan was a little unclear because he was too excited at this moment, so she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Han Peng came by telegram a few days ago, the master has been looking forward to Han Peng's arrival these days, doesn't the master remember?" ”

After listening to Mrs. Wu's words, Shen Youdan finally recovered from his confused state, he looked at Lin Yiqing, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and slowly let go of Lin Yiqing's hand.

"Hanpeng, sit down." Shen Youdan glanced at Lin Yiqing, who was a little restrained, and said gently, patting the side of the bed.

"Uncle Xie." Lin Yiqing came to the side of the bed and sat down next to him.

"When did you arrive?" Shen Youdan asked with a smile.

"Back to my uncle, my nephew has just arrived." Lin Yiqing replied, "My nephew was worried about my uncle's condition, so he hurried here as soon as he got off the boat. ”

"It's good to come, it's good to come......" Shen Youdan looked at Lin Yiqing carefully, and he noticed the scars on Lin Yiqing's hands. Remembering the past. As he spoke. shed tears, "I didn't expect Kunyu to hide it from me for this 'sun-cutting' plan...... You're in Japan, and it's raining down on bullets, but fortunately, you've finally survived, and it's good that you're safe and sound, otherwise, if you have another mishap. Under my Nine Springs, I really have no shame to go to see Jingfeng Gong......"

"Sir, what a happy day it is! Why is the old man still crying......" Mrs. Wu saw Shen Youdan crying sadly, took a handkerchief and wiped it for him, but she thought of the deceased Lin Puqing, and couldn't help crying.

Lin Yiqing knew that this Mrs. Wu was the younger sister of Wu Zhongxiang promoted by the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, and the second wife of Shen Youdan, and the relationship with Lin Puqing in the main room was like a sister, and she saw herself who looked cool and Xiao Lin Yizhe. Thinking of Lin Puqing, who raised Lin Yizhe, it was only then that he would have such a reaction.

"Hanpeng. It's great that you're back safely...... Your brothers, they are all the same talents, Zhe'er is gone, I lost my arm, it can be said that it hurts my heart and lungs, you can come back, we are a big worker, and there is hope again......" Shen Youdan choked and said, "Zhe'er is because of this foreign affairs, regardless of slander, do not avoid the axe, forge ahead, single-mindedly, and died young, after you come back, remember to be careful, you must know that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, you must not be in a hurry, damage your own ......"

"My nephew remembers my uncle's teachings." Lin Yiqing understood Shen Youdan's intentions and hurriedly said.

"Which boat did you take when you came?" Shen Youdan asked again.

"Back to my uncle's words, when my nephew set off from Tianjin, he took the Beiyang Naval Division's 'Flying Tiger' letter boat, and went to Jiangkou to transfer to the Nanyang Naval Division's 'Weijing' gunboat." Lin Yiqing remembered what Xu Chuanlong said to him on the way here, and was secretly vigilant in his heart, and immediately replied.

"It's the gunboat of the Nanyang Naval Division, it's okay...... This Yangtze River is not peaceful, water bandits are rampant, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you on the road......" Listening to Lin Yiqing's answer, Shen Youdan seemed to be relieved, "I specially asked the Nanyang Navy Division to send a ship to respond, and I was afraid that they would be afraid of Peng Yulin and dare not send a gunboat to ...... 'Weijing' gunboat is okay, but Xu Chuanlong is too timid and afraid of things......"

Although it was only a few short sentences, Lin Yiqing immediately guessed what was going on!

It seems that if that "Peng Da Tie" doesn't provoke him himself, he will also find his own trouble!

"Uncle rest assured, my nephew is accompanied by guards, all of whom are Satsuma dead soldiers who have followed my nephew for many years, and they are superb in battle, and they can be ten at a time, even if they encounter water bandits, they are not afraid." Lin Yiqing said.

"Yes, I forgot, you are different from Kunyu, you fought in Japan from the Blood Sea Corpse Mountain, how can the little water bandit help you ......" Shen Youdan smiled and patted the back of Lin Yiqing's hand, "However, anyway, when you return to your mother country, it is better to act more restrained, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, your brother will suffer here, fighting with that group of people all day long, and there is no need to do practical things......"

"My uncle taught me yes, and my nephew wrote it down." Lin Yiqing responded.

"But you're good...... At least there is a loss, I won't eat it, it's not like my ......" Shen Youdan sighed, "I have been the governor of Liangjiang for many years, and I have been cautious in everything, and I haven't accomplished anything, but I have exhausted myself......"

"If my uncle has something to do, my nephew will do what he can, and I will do it for my uncle, and I will ask my uncle to show it." Lin Yiqing said.

"There are many things that have not been competitive, but there is no hurry for a while, in our big work, there are some things that cannot be rushed."

"My nephew remembers my uncle's teachings."

Shen Youdan beckoned and motioned for a maid to bring what he asked for. The maid came to the bookshelf, took a thick book, and brought it to Shen Youdan.

"Hanpeng, like Kunyu, you also know Western characters, right?" Shen Youdan took the book and asked again.

"Back to my uncle's words, my nephew can read English, French, German, Russian, and Japanese, and he can read and understand ordinary books and letters in foreign languages without translation." Lin Yiqing replied, feeling a little proud in his heart.

As a "high-achieving special soldier" in the army that year, he has always been quite proud.

"Although I am in Liangjiang, I have always been thinking about the shipyard, and I must know that the construction of this steamship is complicated and detailed, and it must not be taken lightly. My greatest wish is to see our self-built ironclad ships. ”

Shen Youdan said, handed the book in his hand to Lin Yiqing, and Lin Yiqing took it with both hands. It was a Western-style book in hard leather packaging, and when he glanced at the title, it was a line of French. I couldn't help but be amazed.

Lin Yiqing is fluent in English and French. These French words were not new to him. But Shen Youdan also knew French, which really surprised him.

"I don't know the French language, just look at the pictures." Shen Youdan said, "But as far as these pictures are concerned, I haven't seen them before, and after seeing them, they are also very helpful." ”

Lin Yiqing knew from the title of the book that this book was a primer on the introduction of ship types. There are patterns of ships from all over the world today, and some are also equipped with detailed line drawings, Lin Yiqing flipped through a few pages, and found a line map of ancient Chinese fortune ships drawn by the French.

"If we talk about the rigor of study, the West is no different from our country." Shen Youdan pointed to the line drawing and said to Lin Yiqing, "In terms of the subtlety and meticulousness of this boat drawing, it is very comparable. ”

What my uncle said was very true, "Lin Yiqing himself is actually a military history enthusiast, and he is especially keen on the world's modern naval history, and the ship line map is not a new thing for him." "Like this blessed ship, it has existed in ancient times. However, the size of the historical records is unknown, and the legends are incomplete, so it is fortunate that we can learn the details from the corporate books. ”

"I heard that when you were in Japan, you led the Sato sailors across the sea and defeated the Japanese navy, I think you also have your own knowledge of this ironclad ship, right?" Shen Youdan talked about the ironclad ship, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Back to my uncle's words, the main force of the Sato sailors led by my nephew is two ironclad ships, one 'Hiei' and one 'King Kong', which are ironclad ships of the same type, but their tonnage is smaller, and they are second-class ironclad ships in the western country." Lin Yiqing flipped through the book in his hand, and soon found a British ironclad ship similar to "Hiei" and "King Kong", and pointed it out to Shen Youdan, "But in Japan, there are few opponents, my nephew has commanded many battles on this second ship, and he knows its bluntness, even though it is second-class in the West, but in Middle-earth, there are few ships that can be defeated, and both Japan and Russia are regarded as great enemies, but these two ships have now been brought to the Ryukyus by my nephew, for the strong help of my great sailor, unfortunately this time to return to China, it is inconvenient to bring these two ships here, Otherwise, my uncle will be able to see the demeanor of these two ships. ”

"In your opinion, second-class ironclad ships like 'Hiei' and 'King Kong', can I use these two ships as samples to imitate them now? How long does it take to build? Shen Youdan asked a little eagerly.

Hearing Shen Youdan ask about the construction of a steam warship, Lin Yiqing also came to his senses and immediately said his thoughts.

"According to my nephew's point of view, it is not difficult for the Fujian factory to imitate these two ships, and it can be successful in one or two years, but now the ship type of these two ships is old and should not be imitated. Lin Yiqing said, took out a line diagram of a new ironclad ship that he had nothing to do, and displayed it in front of Shen Youdan.

Seeing that the line drawings drawn by Lin Yiqing were a little more detailed than the line drawings in that book, Shen Youdan's eyes shone eagerly.

Lin Yiqing noticed the change in Shen Youdan's expression when he looked at his line drawing, and couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart.

In fact, the picture he drew is not his own original design, but the real existence of the "Marceau" ironclad ship in the history of the French Navy!

For this kind of ironclad ship with a "diamond-shaped layout" with its main gun, Lin Yiqing has always had a soft spot.

Since the world's navies entered the era of "pre-dreadnoughts", the diamond-shaped layout is an important way to design the layout of artillery, but for various reasons, ironclad ships with this design have not been able to appear in important naval battles.

In his original historical time and space, he has always been haunted by the failure of the "Burad" ironclad to fight against the Japanese Navy in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle!

Now in this plane, he may have a chance to make up for the regrets in his heart.

Lin Yiqing said, explaining to Shen Youan the benefits of the ironclad ship he "designed" and the gains and losses of the previous naval battles he participated in in Japan, at this time he didn't notice that Mrs. Wu quietly called a maid and gave an order, and the maid understood and walked out of the room lightly.

"It turns out that when Kunyu was alive, he also talked to me about the construction of this ironclad ship, but Kunyu is enthusiastic about building armored clippers (that is, armored cruisers), and he has no fixed opinion on what type of ironclad ship should be built, how to arrange the artillery, and how to install the ironclad. Shen Youdan said happily, "When I heard you say it today, I already have a clear understanding in my heart, I should play the imperial court, and implore the imperial court to allocate funds to build this ship!" ”

Listening to Shen Youdan's words, Lin Yiqing raised his head in some trepidation, and just happened to meet Shen Youdan's gaze.

Seeing that Shen Youdan's eyes were full of love, Lin Yiqing's heart was hot.

"It is really rare that you can be so attentive in the battle formation, learn from the strengths of Westerners, and never forget your homeland, and I hope that you will continue to learn as in the past." Shen Youdan said gently.

"My uncle's teachings, my nephew's heart, don't dare to forget." Lin Yiqing said.

"When Lin Wenzhong was alive, there was always a saying that there was no end to learning. In fact, not only do you have to learn, but I also learn from scratch. At that time, I was suffering from not being able to understand the foreign language, and I felt that I had no idea how to start with the affairs of the shipping administration. There were very few relevant translations in China, so I asked the General Administration to translate and distribute Western books from the Tongwen Museum for consultation. Shen Youdan recalled the past and sighed, "However, the translation is not the original work after all, if there is a mistranslation, ambiguity and omission, it is inevitable. Later, I learned English and French with the interpreter, and I even had a small success, meeting with foreigners, and talking more often without the need for outsiders to translate, so I was very handy, but unfortunately the current illness is difficult to recover, and I have no chance to study further......" (to be continued......

PS: The central government has decided, you will be the pick-up man. "I said please be smart, I'm really not modest, how can I take over as a retail investor? Later, I recited two lines of poetry called "If the country lives and dies for profit, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune", so I made up the position and took over for the country. I'm ashamed to have done a little bit of work, thank you.
