Outside the dock of Tianjin Weibei Ocean Naval Division Dagu.

At this time, it was a bleak sea view in winter, and there were few people walking around inside and outside the wharf stackhouse. Only a few coolies dressed in cotton monkeys, amid the shouts of the water braves, were delivering supplies to several boats docked at the dock.

The gray smoke from the Dagu Dock Iron Works went up to the black sky. As soon as the sea breeze pulled, the wisps scattered.

Even the waters of the Bohai Sea are blue-black.

There were two warships docked at the dock, both of which were flying the triangular five-clawed golden dragon flag at the stern. The two boats are about the same size. At the bow of the ship are two golden dragons competing for the bow of the ship. Floating on the blue and black sea.

One boat is a single chimney, with two high fore and rear masts erected, and various cables are densely drawn. At the bow of the ship is a twin Krupp naval cannon, and even the brass muzzle plug is polished. There was also a single-mounted Krupp cannon in the back, but it was wrapped in a cannon suit. Some of the sailors wrapped in black cloth were busy carrying supplies, and some were brushing the deck with grinding stones.

A military attache wearing a feather on his head, but walking on the aft deck. At his feet, followed by a black-backed wolfdog. There was no one around the officer, and he was happily teasing the wolfhound.

This person is Deng Shichang, who has a relationship with Xu Yifan.

Immediately on the outer side of his warship was an ironclad warship of the same size, with the same regulations as Deng Shichang's boat, but the front main gun was also single-mounted. On this boat, the sailors were huddled on the side of the ship to watch the dock, and the water bravely urged the coolies to carry supplies. The sound of giggling and laughter rang out. It is the ironclad cruiser Laiyuan that is expected to cruise with Zhiyuan.

Qiu Baoren, the pipe band of the far ship, is missing the pipe band that was actually taught. They had long been waiting on the dock in neat robes and hats, and a dozen or so Goshha were standing neatly. The sturdy Qiu Baoren mound pipe belt paced back and forth on the pier.

Today, it was Li Zhongtang's henchman Yang Shixiang who personally sent the two-pole platform to the ocean. The surname Xu can be perfunctory, and Yang Lianfang can't be disrespectful!

As for Deng Shichang's reluctance to come down to greet him in person, anyway, Deng Shichang's official son is older than him and has deeper qualifications than him. If he puts on such an unorthodox attitude, let him go.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

A group of carriages and horses came from afar, and the hooves of the carriages surrounded by the first two green tweed carts could be heard. Yang Shixiang's carriage and horses, even if they just came out to see them off. There are a lot of top horses, official title cards, and umbrellas that follow. There were also two stewards standing on the wheel, taking care of them all the way.

Xu Yifan's car and horse, as far as he could see, only Zhang Yu was standing alone in the carriage. All other ceremonies are exempt. It's just that behind his car, he is closely followed by a large group of students in neat uniforms!

These students are all Xu Yifan's attachés. Li Yunzong and Chu Wanli took the lead, and the rest of them were on foot. Walk in a hot sweat. But everybody followed. Tuo Xu Yifan, the blessing of the two-pole crazy birth platform. He changed all of the thirty-nine students into self-made Western-style military uniforms, and no one was willing to say more.

The thirty-nine young men wore big-brimmed hats and backpacks. Neatly marching on the road. In addition to the big braids, the others are really refreshing for everyone!

The team arrived at the wharf, and Qiu Baoren saw Yang Shixiang's official title plate from a distance. Busy taking a few steps ahead according to the rules, he took the Goshha people to fight deeply: "The left battalion of the Navy Division is the first to guerrilla, and the ship is really in charge, welcome Lord Yang!" ”

Yang Shixiang, who was riding a top horse first, suddenly shouted: "Get up!" ”

Qiu Baoren and Goshha shouted: "Chirp! They all stood up with deflated hands and asked for another one. As soon as the curtains of the two carriages were lifted, Yang Shixiang and Xu Yifan came out almost at the same time.

Yang Shixiang is still the same chic appearance, and his official uniform is dressed uprightly. He bowed to Qiu Baoren, and then nodded and smiled at Xu Yifan.

The sailors on the two ships were all in a daze when they looked at the brand-new student team behind Xu Yifan. Watching Xu Yifan get out, on both boats, they couldn't help but make an uproar!

Just like Xu Yifan did when he was in the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy, he now has a straight military uniform, shiny riding boots, and spurs. Sam. Brown's armed belt held his waist tight. Just walked out so proudly! Zhang Yu wanted to help him get out of the carriage, but he waved his hand away and jumped down by himself. The spurs were grounded, and the sound of metal pounding made everyone's hearts tighten.

I have seen a lot of Taoist platforms, but I have never seen a large Qing Taoist platform. It turned out to be so heroic!

Behind him were thirty-nine students, their backs straighter. The sailors on board all stood up straight. Even Deng Shichang, who was on the back deck of the Zhiyuan ship, clenched the railing and looked over. When he touched Xu Yifan's eyes, he suddenly shone brightly.

Xu Yifan was in a good mood at this time, and in front of him was a warship with ironclad cannons. Behind him are thirty-nine young and strong starters. The Bohai Sea unfolded in front of him, just as cheerful and sparse as his mood.

has been dealing with feminine officialdom for a long time, and sure enough, only these things can lift the spirit. to be able to tell yourself what to do!

To forge a new path in such a gloomy empire, standing on the dock is the tinder.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"Lord Xu, on behalf of the Zhongtang, I wish you a smooth journey, raise a huge amount of money early, and show your economic talents."

Yang Shixiang smiled lightly, and his tone was also light. Pick up a glass of water and wine, and look up. Send this guy to the warship, and forget about his responsibilities. In order to repay the little affection of the Beijing teacher. He, Yang Hanlin, Yang Shoudao, has been doing this guy for so long, and he is really tired.

Once this knot is put down, looking at Xu Yifan and his students' behavior, it will become more and more unpleasant.

What is this guy, when he is?

Xu Yifan also raised his wine glass with a smile and drank it all. Put down your glass. Behind them, the student soldiers stood up straight. These thirty-nine young men, he just led them to find a way.

As for the little bit of Yang Lianfang's thoughts in front of him, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Qiu Baoren, who had been standing beside him, greeted him and smiled at Xu Yifan: "Lord Xu, just get on my boat." The official cabins are ready, how about you get on the ship and lift the anchor? ”

The one in front of him is also a training platform with a big hat. Officialdom is mixed, and one less offense is one.

Xu Yifan looked at the Laiyuan, and then looked at the Zhiyuan. Deng Shichang, who was the commander of the formation this time, did not get off the boat, and stood straight with his back at the entrance above the Zhiyuan springboard. For Lao Deng's style, even Yang Shixiang didn't bother to say hello.

He smiled at Qiu Baoren and said, "Lord Qiu, I, the attachés, will be assigned a little accommodation in the distance. I'd better live in Zhiyuan. Please forgive me for the interruption along the way. ”

Qiu Baoren smiled and hit a thousand: "Follow the orders of the adults." Coming to the grand scale, there are 2,900 tons of drainage, and the mark was originally intended to make adults less turbulent. Since the adults are interested in going far, Lord Deng must also welcome it...... I don't know which brothers, follow the mark and get on the boat? ”

Xu Yifan glanced back, and saw Chu Wanli smiling at Li Yunzong, waving his hand, and walking towards the gangplank with twenty student soldiers. The sailors all looked at them curiously. One by one, the student soldiers also tightened their faces and did not dare to squint. Although they have all undergone Western-style training, they are afraid of showing their cowardice to this iron-armored behemoth.

Qiu Baoren just sighed: "Strict order!" Thorough! ”

Yang Shixiang couldn't stand these deviant students anymore, as well as Xu Yifan, who was pretending to be in front of him. He smiled and said, "Farewell, farewell!" ”

Xu Yifan smiled goodbye to him, and both of them understood in their hearts. Jingshi's friendship is over now. Only Qiu Baoren bowed down and sent it all the way.

Xu Yifan looked at the springboard, looked upright, and took the lead in walking up. When approaching the entrance, Deng Shichang was still standing there like a stone, blocking the entrance to death. Neither moves.

Xu Yifan was stunned for a moment and understood. Standing upright on the springboard, he slowly flattened his chest and gave a military salute: "Lord Deng, please board the ship." ”

Deng Shichang's complexion was like iron, and he slowly flattened his chest and gave a military salute, and turned sideways. The iron-clad man finally smiled and said, "Permission to board the ship." ”

Xu Yifan's riding boots stepped lightly on the wooden deck, so light that he didn't seem to dare to settle down. The echo of that footstep seems to have passed through a hundred years.

Is this Zhiyuan? The knot that has touched the hearts of the Chinese for a hundred years, the warship that seems to be full of the pain of the Chinese people for a hundred years?

At this moment, it seemed that a voice, over a hundred years, echoed in his ears.

As far as the eye can see, the sea breeze hunts, the Bohai Sea is vast, and the winter is like blood.

Standing next to him was Deng Shichang.
