In addition, the arrangement of the batteries was also problematic, because of the old form, the gun emplacements were single, and almost all of them had dead angles in the firing circle, which were easy to be used by the enemy. In the extremely important estuary area, there were only batteries facing the waterway, and there were no batteries facing the open sea at all!

"This is the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is said that all provinces are like this, blindly follow the line, coastal defense and river defense important places, there is no arrangement in many places, if there are really people who go to the sea, I am afraid that there is no one to defend!" Mei Hong looked at the sketches that these painters had worked so hard to draw, and said bitterly, "The person in charge is so absurd, it's really a shame!" ”

Lin Yiqing looked at these paintings, although he had long lost hope in the legend of the "Million Soldiers" of the Celestial Empire, but now these paintings still have a great stimulus for him.

This situation of extreme emptiness in national defense also exists in all provinces, and if it is true that Qianguo and Japan and Russia go to war because of the problem of the return of the Satsuma people under his leadership, the coastal areas of Qianguo will only experience a catastrophe!

He can now also understand why Lin Yizhe is bent on strengthening the strength of the shipmaster and sailor on his own.

The reason why he concentrated all his efforts on building a shipmaster and sailor division was because he knew that at that time, the only one who could fight with Japan was the shipmaster and sailor, and if the Qianguo and Japan went to war, as long as the shipyard and navy division were at sea, then thousands of miles of coastal defense from Korea, Liaodong, Shandong, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Taiwan would be opened in an instant! The Japanese Army will come across the sea and attack at any point on the Qianguo's thousands of miles of coastal defense line, and as long as the Japanese Army's boots set foot on the land of the Qianguo, it will be able to crisscross the Qianguo land at will by virtue of its absolute superiority over the Qianguo Army in terms of combat strength. Even close to Gyeonggi. Forced the Qianguo government to sign an alliance under the city!

This is a tactic that has long been proven by history in Lin Yiqing's original time and space. And if you want to prevent this scene from really happening, the only response that can be thought of at this time is - win the naval battle!

As far as Japan is concerned, once its navy controls the sea routes, Japan will be almost invincible in the war against the Qianguo! As far as the Qianguo is concerned, only by gaining sea supremacy and containing the landing attempt of the Japanese Army can it be possible not to fall into defeat!

And now, the enemy of the Qianguo. There is one more behemoth, Russia, which is feared by all Europe......

For Lin Yiqing, a traverser, even if the war with Russia does not break out within a few years, the time is too short, and it is not enough to create a large-scale modern army!

If a large-scale army cannot be built quickly in a short period of time, then it is only possible to build an elite special forces force in a short period of time, as in Satsuma, but the foundation of the Qianguo seems to be too far behind the Satsuma samurai under the command of Saigo Takamori......

"I heard that Han Peng returned to his hometown with Shen Gong's coffin this time, and he wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?" Mei Hong's voice pulled Lin Yiqing's thoughts back.

"Exactly." Lin Yiqing nodded, he was a little curious about why Mei Hong was so concerned about this matter.

"Has Han Peng, the eldest brother of the Lin family, seen it?" Mei Hong asked.

"Haven't seen it yet. Nor by correspondence. Lin Yiqing replied.

Lin Yiqing noticed a hint of worry flashing in Mei Hong's eyes, knowing that he was worried that his eldest brother Lin Xunshu was likely to show his face, he was not very clear about the inside story of the Lin brothers back then, so he said: "Was there any holiday between brothers back then, Yuanshan but it doesn't matter." ”

"This eldest brother of the Lin family is hostile to foreign affairs, thinking that Lin Wenxiang is not on the right path, and once wrote a letter to persuade Lin Wenxiang to naturally not be him, so the two brothers fell out of harmony and never interacted again." Seeing that Mei Hong was a little embarrassed, Shen Weiqing, who was familiar with the situation back then, said, "The situation back then, I know that this is about the case. ”

"Hanpeng, Songtian, you don't know that this reply letter back then was sent by Lin Wenxiang to me to the eldest brother of the Lin family." Mei Hong sighed.

"Then what kind of situation he had seen after reading the letter, I had already roughly thought of it." Lin Yiqing guessed what Lin Xunshu looked like at that time from Mei Hong's performance, and said with a smile.

"But I didn't know what was going on." Mei Hong sighed, "Even if the eldest brother of the Lin family opened it in front of me after receiving the letter, he scolded him after reading it, saying that what Lin Wenxiang wrote was...... It's the words of animals! I was furious, and was about to argue, but he went to the inner hall and left me in the antechamber. Then there was another shouting from the back hall, which shook the roof tiles, and I did not want to listen to any more foul language, so that I could depart on my own and get on the boat and turn around. ”

"What did he swear?" Lin Yiqing didn't seem to be moving at all, but asked calmly.

He ...... He mainly scolded Lin Wenxiangguan for being obsessed with his mind, bent on camping, falling into the poison of foreigners, turning his back on his ancestors, and being willing to be a beast. Mei Hong was afraid that Lin Yiqing would be angry, and took into account his brotherly feelings, so he considered his words, but still didn't say all the original words of Lin Yiqing scolding Lin Yiqing, "It's better not to listen to such filthy words, so as not to hurt the brother's harmony." ”

"He will scold it, and when it comes to drilling camps, it's not wrong." Lin Yiqing sighed, "If you want to do a few great things to help the people and live up to the world, how can you do it without being an official in this world?" Didn't my generation read the books of the sages just to apply what they had learned and help the people through the world? If the whole nation were to be as clean as he was, and to stay out of the matter, would not the nation be doomed without this man who did practical things? ”

"That's what Han Peng said." When Mei Hong heard Lin Yiqing's sage remarks, he couldn't help but admire, and Lin Yiqing's status in his mind suddenly rose to a higher level.

Mei Hong's family was originally poor and unable to take the exam, so he usually only relied on teaching a few children to make a living, but it was only after Lin Yizhe's funding that he was able to pass the examination and have an official position. For Lin Yizhe's funding, he was actually wary at the beginning, although he was a down-and-out talent, but he had a kind of arrogance of a scholar in his bones, although he accepted Lin Yizhe's funding, but he was always uneasy, and subconsciously even thought that Lin Yizhe wanted to buy himself. After being in contact with Lin Yizhe for a long time, Mei Hong, who was originally reluctant to ask about foreign affairs, gradually changed his concept, and finally willingly joined the "turbidity current" of the Westernization faction.

"Hanpeng, I was just a first-class talent back then, and I didn't know much about foreign affairs. I always feel foreigners' things. It must be an evil thing. The knowledge of foreigners must be heresy, but since Lin Wenxiang's funding and joining the shipping administration to help do all things, after a long time, I have realized the past and sighed at the wonder of Western learning. Mei Hong euphemistically told Lin Yiqing about his experience and persuaded him. In the next general's heart, I feel that Brother Lin seems to be similar to the situation in the next year, Hanpeng returned to his hometown this time to worship his ancestors, if he meets Brother Lin, he must not be like in Japan...... Otherwise, the adult's face must not look good, and if the court gets the news, I am afraid that there will be another turmoil, which is not conducive to the future of the adult. ”

"I understand what the distant mountains mean, no matter what. It's also my brother, even if he doesn't speak the right words for a while. I won't take it to heart, and I'll persuade you slowly in the future. Lin Yiqing understood Mei Hong's kindness in reminding him, and agreed with a smile.

"Yuanshan is worried, but I feel that the eldest brother of the Lin family will not be embarrassed by Hanpeng this time." Shen Weiqing said, "Since the loss of peace with Lin Wenxiang, although the two brothers have no contact, but after Lin Wenxiang died, Brother Lin went to the port to receive the spirit, crying, after Lin Wenxiang's coffin was buried in the shipmaster cemetery, not into the ancestral mausoleum, Brother Lin once argued with the elders of the clan for it, and wanted to move Lin Wenxiang into the ancestral tomb, just because Lin Wenxiang was willing to be buried in the shipyard cemetery, and the sacrifice of the soldiers and souls of the moss sacrifice was not able to make the trip in the end, from this point of view, this Lin brother seems to have a change of mind, so I feel that he will be very happy to see Hanpeng, When Han Peng returns to his hometown this time, he might as well have a good talk with the eldest brother of the Lin family, and it is best to win him over. ”

"What the eldest brother said is, thank you for the reminder from the eldest brother and Yuanshan, I will definitely do it when I go back this time." Lin Yiqing said.

Seeing Lin Yiqing agree, Mei Hong and Shen Weiqing were relieved.

"By the way, there is something that needs to be asked to the distant mountains." Lin Yiqing said to Mei Hong, "We have encountered water bandits in the river, Yuanshan already knows, and the newspaper has also reported it, but the inside story is not known to the outside world...... Lin Yiqing told Mei Hong in detail about Peng Yulin's two assassinations to himself, and he sent back the killer and the head of the water bandits to warn him, "Can Yuanshan help me and publish an article comment on these things in the newspaper, without specifying specific people, and without damaging the face of the court, and then let the palace and the people of the world know about such evil acts?" ”

"I understand what Hanpeng means, and this matter is on me." Mei Hong was furious for a while when he heard Peng Yulin's evil deeds, he knew that Lin Yiqing wanted him to do this for the sake of the newspaper, so he agreed, "Even if the court remembers Peng's past achievements and does not investigate deeply, we will ask him to take off a layer of skin!" ”

Lin Yiqing thought of the next means he was going to take advantage of the situation to sweep away Peng Yulin, and couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart.

He knew that such revenge was much more valuable than cutting off Peng Yulin's head!

"One more thing, has Han Peng ever heard that Zuo Jigao has already arrived in Fuzhou?" Mei Hong remembered one more thing and immediately said to Lin Yiqing.

"Oh? And what's going on? Lin Yiqing raised his eyebrows, "Why did the Zuo family come to Fuzhou?" ”

"Zuo's public proclamation that pacifying the west is to fulfill Lin Wenzhong's last wish, and he went to Fuzhou this time in order to comfort Lin Wenzhong's soul." Mei Hong said, "But I think he is likely to be here for you." ”

"Yes! I'm afraid that Zuo's is really not a good person. Shen Weiqing remembered Zuo Jigao's persecution of his father back then, and a look of resentment flashed in his eyes, "It is said that the war in Western Xinjiang has ended, and it has been several months, but the Zuo family came to Fuzhou not sooner or later when Hanpeng was about to return to his hometown to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, there must be something strange in this." ”

"In that case, I'll have to prepare." Lin Yiqing couldn't help but smile when he thought of the arrangements he had made in Fuzhou in advance.

Seeing Lin Yiqing's strange smile, Mei Hong and Shen Weiqing were stunned.

"If Yuanshan is not busy, how about taking me to Fuzhou? At that time, all kinds of excitement will be lively, and it will be good to make some articles when you come back and publish them in the newspaper. Lin Yiqing said meaningfully.

"Then I'll bother." Mei Hong was curious and immediately agreed.

At this time, Mei Hong would never have thought of what new things he would see on his trip to Fuzhou.

Speaking of Fuzhou, a city on the southern coast, the first impression in people's minds today is probably the navy soldiers of the shipmaster and the local fruit drink. Fuzhou people are peaceful and steady, naturally not good liquor, coupled with Fuzhou's abundance of fruits, and the hot climate, the sweet and throat-moistening fruit drink has naturally become the favorite drink of the locals.

Walking on the streets of Fuzhou, the wet water vapor and the vitality of steel are mixed in a strong fruity aroma. It is like a symphony of rigidity and softness, enveloping people from head to toe. Fuzhou was one of the important treaty ports in the south of the Great Qian Empire. Merchants from various countries are often crowded on the road. Overcrowded, and even became a scene in Fuzhou, the famous Japanese writer Tsubouchi Xiaoyao once recorded it in the travel record, so that Fuzhou's post road smoke and fruity condensation spread widely all over the world.

Yoko Shimazu has been a lover of travel since she was a child, and since reading the books of Tsubouchi and some other famous Japanese travelers, she has been yearning for it, and she chose to come to Fuzhou to wait for Lin Yiqing's return, another important reason is to come here for the dazzling and countless fruit drinks.

PS: Chat with my niece who is in college: "Did you go to see Little Times 4?" "I didn't see it." "Why? Didn't you read 1, 2, and 3 all? "I can't find anyone to watch it together, and the people around me say they don't watch it, and so many people scold it on the Internet." "Don't pay attention to that, and don't listen to your parrot uncle and uncle Dean, they are foolish, turnips and cabbages have their own loves, you can watch it if you want, it's not ashamed." The niece was silent for a long time: "Forget it, college is not as good as middle school." It's going to make people laugh. ”
