As this new Qianguo cruiser approached, Nogi Noshinori saw clearly at this time that on the copper nameplate of the ship's hull, two vigorous and powerful huge Middle-earth regular script characters "Kaiji" were written.

The Qianguo cruiser, named "Kaiji," slowly sailed to the site where the "Percy" sank, stopped, and began to lower the dinghy to rescue the government officers and men who had fallen into the water.

Not long after, another Qianguo cruiser of the same type named "Jingqing" also came in to help the "Kaiji" carry out the salvage and rescue work. Soon after, a French warship and a Russian warship arrived and joined the rescue, and after another twenty minutes or so, a British warship arrived and joined the rescue.

Since Nogi Noshinori and Prince Chihito were waiting for rescue on the wreckage of a blown up lifeboat, the obvious goal was that they were quickly rescued by the Qianguo sailors on the "Kaiji", and when Nogi Noshinori explained to the officers and men of the Qianguo Navy the honorable identity of Prince Chihito of the Arisugawa Palace and his injuries, the military medical officer on the Qianguo warship gave priority to Prince Chihito.

Although the wound on Prince Chiren's back was very long, it was not deep, and he was soaked in seawater for a short time, and he was not infected, but because of blood loss, he appeared very weak, and after treating the wound for him, the medical officer of the Qianguo Army gave him a careful physical examination, and determined that he was okay except for some slight concussion (which was shocked by the explosion of a shell). After hearing the explanation of the medical officer of the Qianguo Army, Nogi Noshinori was relieved.

After hearing that a Japanese prince had been rescued, the captain of the cruiser Kaiji personally came to visit the ward, and when Nogi Kinori saw the captain and the huge dog beside him, he immediately understood who the captain was.

Deng Zhengqing, who was famous in the Battle of Moss Bay!

At that time, Deng Zhengqing was the captain of the new cruiser "Princess Heshuo" presented by Britain to Qianguo, and now, he has actually served as the captain of the latest cutting-edge warship of Qianguo!

"It turned out to be Captain Deng, fortunately." At this time, Prince Chiren's mind was already sober, and when he heard Deng Zhengqing's name, he owed a debt from the bed, which was regarded as a courtesy.

He was originally grateful to the Qianguo people who rescued him, but when he thought of the humiliation that Deng Zhengqing brought to the Japanese Empire in the Battle of Mosswan, his heart was not enthusiastic.

And Deng Zhengqing seemed to see what Chi Ren was thinking, and smiled quietly: "My ship is late, so His Royal Highness the Prince was disturbed by the rebellion of your country, and he was also injured, I really can't help it." ”

"When two armies clash, casualties are common. It's just a small injury, not enough to worry about, thank you for your help. Prince Chiren first thanked the Qianguo warship for the rescue he and the officers and men under his command, and then changed his head and asked, "I am very grateful that your ship came to the rescue in time." I just don't know why your ship is here this time? ”

"I heard that there is a civil strife in your country, and my government is worried about the safety of the expatriates in your country, so it has sent our ship to check the details and report back, and at the same time protect the expatriates." Deng Zhengqing replied, "When I came, it happened to be a warship of a friendly country in the West, so I came together and happened to save His Royal Highness, which is really a blessing." ”

Hearing that Deng Zhengqing's words meant that Qianguo was interfering in the name of "protecting overseas Chinese", Prince Chiren was secretly frightened.

"Captain Deng, rest assured, the overseas Chinese of your country will not be harmed if they are properly protected by our Imperial Japanese Government." Prince Chihito hurriedly said, "I would like to ask Captain Deng to convey this to your government that our government will quell the rebellion in a few days, and foreign nationals can still stay in Japan without any inconvenience." ”

"Of course, I trust the assurances of His Royal Highness the Prince and your government." Deng Zhengqing replied with a smile, "But now in the area controlled by the rebels, I am afraid that there is no way to guarantee the safety of our expatriates, right?" I have just received information that Nagasaki, an important port city in your country, has fallen into the hands of the rebels. ”

Hearing Deng Zhengqing's answer, beads of sweat oozed from Prince Chiren's forehead, and he was speechless for a while.

Oh, yes! His own life was almost lost, and he lost so many subordinates, how can he talk about counterinsurgency and protection of foreign nationals?

"I can understand His Royal Highness's eagerness to quell the rebellion, so please don't be in a hurry." Deng Zhengqing sensed Prince Chiren's embarrassment, smiled, and said, "After we send you and your subordinates to Osaka, we will go to Nagasaki to observe the situation, hoping to see your army recover the lost territory and quell the rebellion as soon as possible." ”

Prince Chiren bowed on the hospital bed, and when he raised his head again, his eyes suddenly fell on the giant dog standing at Deng Zhengqing's feet.

Somehow, the moment he saw this giant dog, he actually remembered Saigo Takamori!

Saigo Takamori, who was his chief of staff in the War of the Downfall, is also the same as Deng Zhengqing, no matter where he goes, he is always followed by two hunting dogs!

And now he seems to see a trace of Xixiang Takashi from Deng Zhengqing......

"His Royal Highness also likes to keep dogs?" Deng Zhengqing noticed Chiren's gaze and asked with a smile.

"I don't like it." Chiren replied subconsciously. Although he spoke in Japanese, and the conversation for a while relied on translation, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he said this, the giant dog beside Deng Zhengqing seemed to feel his hostility, suddenly changed his squatting posture, straightened up, and let out a low roar at Chiren, looking like he was about to pounce and tear Chiren to pieces.

Chihito and Nogi Noshinori were all shocked when they saw the fierce roar of the giant dog's teeth, and Nogi Noshinori's hand unconsciously touched the saber on his waist.

This giant dog is very spiritual, and immediately saw Nogi Xidian's movements, and with a bow, he was about to pounce on him, and at this moment, Deng Zhengqing reached out with lightning and grabbed the rigging around the neck of the giant dog to stop it from pounced.

"The sun! Be quiet! Deng Zhengqing said, turned his head to look at Nogi Xidian, and said in a slightly reprimanding tone: "Take your hand away!" You're looking for death when you are seen by it like that! ”

Nogi Noshinori looked at the giant dog named "Sun" with a look of fear on his face, and slowly removed his hand from the hilt of the knife, and the giant dog saw his movements, and the tense muscles slowly relaxed, but his eyes were still full of hostility.

Chiren was also frightened, Deng Zhengqing pulled the rigging tightly, and stroked the head of the giant dog with his hand, and the giant dog finally quieted down.

"Two strange people, this dog has followed me for many years, has experienced sea and land battles, and is very spiritual, and has charged into battle with the soldiers, devouring and killing the enemy, so that he will be alert when he sees the opposite person with weapons." Deng Zhengqing explained to Chiren and Nogi Noshinori slightly apologetically, "Shicai shocked the two of you, I'm very sorry." ”
