"Don't go!"

"Don't die!"

"Hmph, surnamed Xu, you let me go and try it!"

The three girls answered all kinds of questions, and Du Juan Chen Luoshi was undoubtedly angry, while Li Xuan looked at Xu Yifan with his chin raised and provocatively.

Xu Yifan's evacuation plan has been carried out for more than half of the time, and he doesn't know who reminded him, but in his busy schedule, he thought that his family was still in Pyongyang! Speaking of which, he also has three housewives in this inner house, plus two North Korean girls, the girl's old mother is seventy or eighty, and there is a group of florist cooks' drama troupes, which stuff his big house in Pyongyang. When the time comes, these characters, let alone fighting, will not be able to win!

Immediately, he put down what he was doing and returned to evacuate the people in his house. The destination has been decided, to Tianjin, where he still has a private property. He is not worried about safety, if Li Hongzhang will attack his family, it will not be Li Hongzhang. It's the Manchu court, in this last days, how many years have you not heard of anything Manchurian, and the family sent Ningguta and armored people to slaves?

As a result, the reaction was so consistent that Xu Yifan couldn't cry or laugh.

He was still wearing a military uniform, his face was so thin that he looked like a knife, and his beard was black and hard. looked at the three girls in their respective directions, but they didn't look at him, only two little North Korean girls looked at him worriedly. I didn't know what to say for a while.

Outside the inner house, Pu Yang Chen De and the two Goshha heads were guarding with dozens of Goshha, and the carriage was also waiting outside the door, waiting for his master to say a word, and he moved.

At this time, there is only one way to reason: "It's time for a war...... Panicked ......"

"It's not like I haven't fought with you in Nanyang! At that time, there were dozens of us, tens of thousands of indigenous thugs, I was by your side, did you take a step back? Give me a gun, and I'll be with you! ”

Naturally, it was the cuckoo who spoke, holding his chest up, so aggrieved that he was about to cry. Look down on her skills or what? After the Chinese New Year, it is rare to go home a few times in half a year, and it is distressing to see the old man so thin. It's good to get back now, drive them away!

Hearing that Du Juan put forward the most glorious deeds of living and dying together with Xu Yifan in Nanyang, Chen Luoshi also panicked. This is not as good as the cuckoo, which is an eternal pain in her heart. At that moment, he expressed his determination with tears in his eyes: "I have also walked through the dart, and I have seen foreign guns fire!" You have tens of thousands of soldiers, what are we afraid of? The more panicked you are, how can you be done with no one by your side to take care of you? Master, if we don't leave, we won't be able to get out of the ......"

Li Xuan doesn't have good skills to boast about, but she is now resentful. During the Chinese New Year, with a little wine, I kissed this guy and touched this guy. It also caused her to have a few spring dreams, and the first beauty in Nanyang felt cold between her legs when she got up in the morning, how embarrassing it was to say it?

has already hinted that this guy can get all of her if he is a little gentle, but this guy has almost disappeared in the past half a year, what is Li Xuan when she is?

Send her away now? Not to mention the door, there are no windows! Thinking of this, she snorted harder and raised her head even higher.

Xu Yifan is really angry and funny, but he can't blame these three girls. They have no concept of the large-scale war of modernization! During the war, Xu Yifan didn't know how he survived, and they thought that tens of thousands of soldiers were the support of Mount Tai! He snapped his fingers and calculated, Du Juan can find the old man Du Qilin to press her, Luo Shi is there, it's really not good, drive the duck to the shelf, let Chen De scold her a few words, under the power of her brother, maybe this little girl will be obedient? Li Xuan...... Forget it, just tie it up and throw it on the boat, anyway, it's a habit to mess with Li Xuan and him, and it doesn't matter if you do it again.

I can't help it...... The situation is like a fire sweeping through the mountains, rivers, lands and oceans of Northeast Asia!

Just the day before yesterday, the Nozu detachment had landed in Busan, and the shadow of the combined fleet also appeared off Busan. 6,000 troops went to the land, and the political axe also cooperated and proposed to personally participate in the investigation of the Seoul Legation burning and shooting tragedy. The Huai army had already negotiated with the Korean political axe to send foreign counselor Li Bingji to Pusan to stabilize the Nojin detachment of the Yue army, and also sent a lot of gifts. It is rumored that everyone is a soldier and acts on orders, and the problem of negotiation is to be resolved through negotiation between the upper echelons of both sides.

It was said that the Nozu detachment was quite polite, and while taking advantage of the undisturbed landing of the Huai army and the endless landing, it built a starting base. On the other hand, they also sent envoys to return the salute, saying that they were also acting on orders and were willing to wait for the upper echelons to negotiate and settle the matter. Now it's really good for everyone not to misunderstand......

Tianjin has already gathered a large number of people, and the representatives of the Chinese side, the Chinese side, and the ministers of several countries have put up the sign of joint investigation and mediation, and they are already fiercely arguing and arguing. Time flew away like this, and the Beiyang War did not fight, retreated and did not retreat, waiting for Yuben to quickly complete the strategic development there...... In Xu Yifan's view, everything is imminent!

There was also an awkward stir within the Qing Dynasty, and the Qingliu Imperial Party seemed to have found an opportunity, shouting that it was there to demand a tough stance, impeaching Li Hongzhang for being weak and bulliful, and shouting that even a declaration of war against Yue was a reasonable thing. There were no soldiers who shouted the loudest, but Li Hongzhang, who had soldiers, was angry with the imperial party, bent on negotiating a settlement, and thought that the situation was already under control...... Although he is ignorant and incompetent about the upper echelons of the Qing Dynasty, Xu Yifan, who is an expert in internal fighting, already knows a lot about it, and he also looks forward to using this chaos to pave the way for his ascension...... But in the midst of it, he still felt extremely depressed - don't you understand, is this the autumn of life and death?

The war will break out in mid-to-late July at the latest, and it is almost this time to calculate the speed of mobilization and deployment of the army. It is a little earlier than the real time node in history, and it is also a small change brought about by Xu Yifan's little butterfly crossing.

He's so nervous that he only sleeps four or five hours a day, and these three little girls are still fucking messing with him!

It's annoying to have too many wives...... After all, people are not dolls who only listen to orders and only accompany him to bed, they are all girls who have their own thoughts and feelings......

Lao Tzu won't marry anymore! Xu Yifan gritted his teeth and swore as he prepared to act according to his plan. I really don't have time to coax them now, and I can't finish the big things!

Just as he was about to turn around and go out, he heard a voice outside: "Beiyang Sailor Deng Shichang Deng is here to worship!" ”

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

Deng Shichang came to worship at the order of Ding Ruchang, and after taking a small steamer directly into the Datong River, he disembarked at the wharf. What catches the eye is the grand scale of base construction. It's just that there is a scene of people going to the empty building everywhere, and only the tension of killing is left.

Soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, fully equipped in Western style, can be seen everywhere, no matter how many people are marching, and they are always in columns. The officers are all surprisingly young, and the weapons are completely uniform, unlike the Huai Army, where the battalions may have different rifle models! The most important thing is that in them, you can completely feel the strict and fierce atmosphere of being an army!

How did Xu Yifan train such a strong army? Everyone was busy, preparing supplies, distributing food and ammunition, and there was no one who was idle. The soldiers who gave the order came and went on horseback, stirring up smoke and dust along the way. When an order is given, it may be a group of soldiers pulling out of the barracks and rushing to the place where the order was carried out. The Beiyang Naval Division, headed by Deng Shichang and wearing the uniform of the military attache of the Qing Dynasty, stood in the midst of this group of completely Westernized tigers, and felt at a loss!

In particular, when they saw the new field guns, mountain guns, rapid-fire guns, and Maxim water machine guns that they didn't recognize, in the middle of an empty camp, the sun shone on the new roasted blue of these steel weapons, and it was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

A naval division officer with the rank of deputy general looked at all this in awe, and whispered to Deng Shichang: "My lord, how did Xu Junmen run it?" The strength of the Hehuai Army and the Land Division does not necessarily have a vision! Huaijun still has twenty years of hard work in Zhongtang! ”

Deng Shichang just stiffened his face, and his heart was also churning. This Xu Yifan has always been a very extraordinary person. It coincides with the end of the world, and all horses are dark. Where did such a heroic figure come from? Thinking of Nanyang and Xu Yifan working together, I couldn't help but feel a burst of heat in my heart. Maybe there is still salvation in this war?

In a blink of an eye, he dispelled his illusion, no matter how strong Xu Yifan is, he has no sailors, and the key success or failure of this war is on the sea! And he, as a naval commander of the Barrier Land Division, still came to beg Xu Yifan...... Shame on the Navy!

They were received by an officer from Nanyang in the military administration area of the wharf, and he admired Deng Shichang and Xu Yifan together for the bombardment of Surabaya. No one expected him to come to worship, and the others, estimated that when they were so nervous, they would have been driven away a long time ago, and they didn't have a good impression of Huai Jun, these Praetorian Guard officers! Deng Shichang was completely different, as soon as he announced his name, he was respectfully greeted down, and Deng Shichang didn't want to rest, and directly asked them to lead the way to visit Xu Yifan. Seeing Deng Shichang's depressed expression, they didn't dare to speak much, and directly led him to Xu Yifan's house, and Goshha immediately passed it in.

They were all soldiers, and there were not so many courtesies to talk about, so Deng Shichang and his party dismounted and waited at the door. After a while, I saw Xu Yifan come out with a happy face: "Zhengqing, that good wind blew you over?" ”

Deng Shichang glanced at Xu Yifan, if Xu Yifan of Nanyang is still a little fluttering, he likes to deliberately put on the shelf of a little superior, and there is always a little bit of tone. The current Xu Yifan is already a general who controls the fate of thousands of people. It's much stronger, and it's much deeper. Even his eyes are much sharper than before!

He was silent for a while, and without waiting for Xu Yifan to come up and pat his shoulders and beat his sleeves, he went down a thousand lines. There was a crackling sound behind him, and the accompanying Beiyang officers all beat down: "Mark Deng Shichang, see Lord Qincha Xu!" ”

Xu Yifan was stunned, he wanted to try to get some alliance forces in this war. After all, their own strength is too single! Moreover, if you show favor earlier, you can also rely on it in the future. He has already released the information separately, and the Huaijun Land Division also has it, and the Beiyang Navy Division also has it. But after so many hours, there was no response. Now that he is also dead, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, who will come to the door at this time.

But he didn't think about it, the Beiyang Navy Division had already sent someone, and it was Deng Shichang, who could talk to him Xu Yifan the most!

Watching Deng Shichang salute, his face sank, and he pulled Deng Shichang up: "Zhengqing, let me tell you, if you want to do this again, I'll turn around and leave, what the fuck are you doing...... Now that everyone knows the situation, I also know that you are coming to me for the upcoming war, and you are still playing this, believe it or not, I will drive you back? ”

Deng Shichang's chest was hot, and the entire Beiyang was talking about going to war. Only Xu Yifan is still that Xu Yifan, who did not disappoint him!

With Xu Yifan's pull, he also took Xu Yifan's hand: "Brother Chuanqing, I'm here to worship the door!" Beiyang Naval Division...... Need Brother Chuanqing's help! ”

Xu Yifan remained silent, just patted him on the shoulder: "Go in and talk!" ”

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

North Korea, off the coast of Busan.

The flag of the Combined Fleet of the Navy is hunting and dancing in the sea breeze.

It was a good day with blue skies, a slight wind, and the waves crashed against the bow of these steel monsters with chrysanthemum coats of arms, splashing the sky full of white waves.

With the signal flag of the flagship Hashidate, the No. 1 guerrilla unit, the elite of the Combined Fleet, was skillfully changing its formation at sea, and its guns were turning, pointing at the imaginary enemy. Agile movements, quick response to orders, warship status, sailor state, it seems that they have reached the best state before the battle!

Ito Yuhiro and Kayama Shiki, both of whom were standing on the bridge of the bridge, both holding binoculars and watching the fleet drill. After a long time, they all put down their binoculars and smiled with satisfaction.

"Ito-kun, it seems that I am completely ready, and when the time comes, I will fight with your Excellency on the Hashidate ship and the Beiyang Naval Division...... I really want to watch the Hashidate ship penetrate Dingyuan's armor! ”

Admiral Count Shiki, head of the Imperial Navy's Military Command Department, patted the railing with emotion: "At the beginning, the two ironclad fort ships of Dingyuan Zhenyuan arrived at our port, and the posture of showing off their might really made the imperial warriors indignant!" After 20 years of reunion, there is such a chance for a decisive battle...... How nice it would be if the Fuji-class ironclad we ordered was also in the United Fleet queue! ”

Ito Youheng smiled faintly: "Your Excellency, the battle position of Hashitachi belongs to the commander of the Combined Fleet, Your Excellency should not snatch the position of the officer...... Your battle position is from the Akagi. Without the Fuji class, we can also fight with the Beiyang Naval Division. We are gathering momentum, and the Beiyang Naval Division is exhausted, although they have retracted to Lushun, but they still need to ensure the supply of more than 20,000 Huai troops from North Korea, and we can find the opportunity for a decisive battle at any time......"

"What if they don't come out?" Kayama asked rhetorically.

Ito Yuhiro still smiled: "Then our combined fleet will chase after the door and fight." ”

Looking at Ito's determined expression, Shiki Kayama smiled knowingly: "Okay, the combined fleet can advance to the Toshima Ocean." Search for the Beiyang Naval Division and attack the Beiyang Naval Division! ”

Ito Youheng was shocked: "Your Excellency, the base camp has been decided?" ”

"The base camp has secretly issued a general mobilization order, and on July 18, it is about to declare war on the Qing State, nay, against China. And the Combined Fleet will be the vanguard of this war! Glory, Navy! ”

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

In the flower hall, everyone sat opposite each other, and there was only a cup of tea for guests.

Deng Shichang had already said Ding Ruchang's words of entrustment, and the attachés of the Beiyang Navy Division were ashamed to hear it.

A few days ago, Ding Ruchang had been ordered to withdraw the main force of the naval division to the Lushun anchorage, but there were still a number of cruisers covering the China Merchants steamship to transport supplies back and forth to ensure the sea channel.

At this time, the emptiness of the base near the left side of Bohai Bay is even greater than the real history. More than 25,000 land divisions of the Huai Army were suspended in Korea, and the elite main force of the Huai Army was almost completely exhausted. The key points of the various bases are completely uncovered by the army. Ding Ruchang also used to have emotional intelligence, Sheng Jun, Feng Jun, Yi Jun, etc., and was able to lend him a few battalions to cover the base. But without Li Hongzhang's order, who would do this? Besides, soldiers are the foundation of generals, especially the Xianghuai military camp system, soldiers are for generals, who is willing to lose their own strength?

Ding Ruchang reminded Li Hongzhang several times where he was powerful. Li Hongzhang always thought that it was necessary to gather troops in Korea as a basis for negotiations and negotiations. It was only agreed that Ding Ruchang would recruit and practice Yonggong to defend various bases.

But now there is no war, there is no money, there is no money, there is no thing, even if new soldiers are recruited, it is not a rabble? In desperation, he had to borrow a few battalions of soldiers from Xu Yifan to defend the base. If it weren't for the urgency of the illness and the indiscriminate hospitalization, I would no longer be able to find Xu Yifan's door! and Xu Yifan jumped up, and he still owed a favor to the Beiyang Naval Division, if it wasn't for Deng Shichang who led two cruisers to disobey and support him, Xu Yifan would be able to have today? At this time, Deng Shichang was sent as a lobbyist.

The heart is like Deng Shichang, and these words are all spoken. It is really taboo to ask for soldiers from others. Not to mention that Xu Yifan has always been suppressed by their Huai system!

After Deng Shichang finished speaking, there was silence in the flower hall. Xu Yifan held the teacup and stared blankly at the hot air coming out of the cup. How many soldiers can he have? Even if his battalion is larger than the battalion of the Huai army, there are only a dozen battalions of soldiers now. It's good that the Beiyang Sailor has to borrow three at once! The most important thing is that none of the Beiyang sailors can repay him! Asking for help also requires some exchange of benefits...... He is counting on being able to cooperate with these Huai military leaders, but he can't just pay and have no return!

He thought that others had seen the crisis in North Korea, and that the Huai army in North Korea wanted to save itself, and they could not get around him, who was stuck between Northeast Korea and South Korea, and that they would be able to take control of the situation when the time came. I didn't expect that by now, the Huaijun Lu Shi was still so stubborn, and he didn't pay attention to him, but the water master came to the door, but as long as he took things out!

It's so fucking depressing......

Seeing that Xu Yifan didn't speak, Deng Shichang couldn't sit still, his self-esteem reminded him of leaving, but thinking of Ding Ruchang's entrustment and the emptiness of the navy's fundamental land, he had to stay: "Brother Chuanqing, in Nanyang, you still owe me Deng Shichang a favor!" ”

When Deng Shichang said this kind of thing, he was really anxious. Xu Yifan glanced at him, although Lao Tzu was depressed, he didn't say that he wouldn't borrow soldiers! The opportunity to lay a nail in the sailor, even if you suffer a loss, you have to do it. Otherwise, where else would you find such an opportunity?

He nodded with a calm face, and raised his hand to signal Deng Shichang to sit down: "Brother Zhengqing, friendship is friendship, and business is business." Beiyang has suppressed me all these years? The strength of my army wants to pacify the entire North Korea, and there is no imperial court to help and defend this screen for the Qing Dynasty, not for me to say a big word, in the future, the land division of South Korea will also ask for my Xu Yifan! Think about it, is Beiyang worthy of me? Is the court worthy of me? ”

Without waiting for Deng Shichang and them to answer, Xu Yifan had already stood up angrily: "Although this is the case, but the sailor Ding Junmen opened his mouth, and you Deng Zhengqing opened his mouth, but I can't help but borrow soldiers!" It's not for the Beiyang group, for this upcoming national war, and for helping the country hold such a little naval seed! Bing, I borrowed it! Not three battalions, I'll give you six! Even guns, cannons, salaries, bullets, military uniforms, and food, all of which we have brought by ourselves, will guard the home for the sailor! ”

Deng Shichang stood up Huo Ran, and his right color was a wave: "Brother Chuanqing, I, Deng someone, really didn't see the wrong person!" The sailor is ashamed and has nothing to do, so he can only leave it for the future! ”

In addition to him, the other sailor attachés also stood up one after another, and the big salute was carried out. Xu Yifan, this is really a charcoal in the snow!

Seeing them salute, Xu Yifan didn't support him this time, and said coldly: "I'm for business, not for friendship, so I won't accept this gift...... Also, I have two conditions. These six battalions are not controlled by Ding Junmen, but they just want to ask Brother Zhengqing to take care of them, and the second is that these six battalions are not far away from the field, but the base is guarded. If you agree to these two points, you will take it away from Brother Zhengqing of the sixth battalion! ”

These three battalions of soldiers were given to Deng Shichang, plus the temperance of the henchmen officers arranged by himself. Naturally, a force will be formed among the sailors, and after the loss of the fleet, it will be the mainstay of several major sea ports. Deng Shichang, as the commander of these six battalions, is also an old man of the water division, and he is afraid that he will not have a chance to take the position? As soon as he Deng Zhengqing takes the position, won't there be a lot of room for the water division to be incorporated in the future?

In the blink of an eye, Xu Yifan had already turned countless calculations in his mind. The six battalions have been calculated, and the first town has transferred two battalions as the backbone, plus the four battalions of those reserve soldiers in the second town, no matter how much it is better than the newly recruited training army. If you pay attention to it yourself, you may not have the opportunity to defend a few major sea ports!

Deng Shichang smiled faintly: "Brother Chuanqing, the second condition, I agreed for the military gate." Your commander is only defending the base for the sailors, and will not abuse the ...... to go to the field Your own generals, can't you still trust them? Other commands, so that they don't have to obey it. Just the first condition......"

"How?"

Deng Shichang had the most reassuring smile on his face: "Ding Junmen...... The Zhiyuan has been returned to me. ”

In any case, can't you change the fate of Deng Shichang's death in battle? Xu Yifan stood up violently: "Brother Zhengqing, why are you doing this...... This is a chance to give you a chance to die! Do you still think that the sailors have a chance to win at sea? ”

He asked so heartily that several officers of the Navy Division glanced at each other, and their expressions were gloomy. Everyone knows the current situation of the Beiyang Naval Division, and if it has not added a single ship or cannon for ten years, it has seen the navy, which was once the largest in Asia, gradually fall into ruin. The overuse of this year has made the condition of the warship even worse. After Luang Weili went, the training of the sailors gradually couldn't keep up. The war was fought together, from Ding Ruchang to the sailors, no one had the confidence to win!

In real history, Chen Jingying, the second mate of Jingyuan Ship, once confided in a letter to his family: "Naval warfare is only a three-percent right, and there are many warships in this area, and China only has a few ships in the Beiyang to fight, while the ships in the South China Sea and the provinces are not particularly untrained, and the ships are like glass." ”

The officers and men of the fleet "knew the situation and wanted to move forward in front of the river, and they were all trembling." ”

He has given Deng Shichang the best chance to ascend to the throne, an excuse to leave the battlefield in the name of justice. But he still has to get on board!

Seeing Xu Yifan stretch out his hand, Deng Shichang smiled: "Without sacrifice, even if you come down, can the seeds left behind still be called the navy?" The brothers learned the British navy, the reef and the principles of the sea, and the navy is to fight when the enemy is seen, regardless of life and death...... Today, I can see Brother Chuanqing again, and I have been greatly relieved. The brother is also here to entrust the future, three sons, five daughters, when the time comes, I will entrust Brother Qing to take care of it. ”

Xu Yifan's face moved, and he calmed down. Seek benevolence and be benevolent, what else is there to persuade yourself? He didn't say anything, took Deng Shichang's hand and walked towards the back house. Leave a bunch of people looking at each other.

As soon as they entered the inner courtyard house, the cuckoos and the others were still sitting there and angry. When he saw Xu Yifan pulling a man in, he was startled. Although Xu Yifan's family law is very loose, Li Xuan is even more wild, and it is really surprising to pull a man in!

Xu Yifan pointed at them: "This is the brother's family, they all came to meet Brother Zhengqing!" Brother has no children yet, Brother Zhengqing's children are the descendants of brothers, you can rest assured! ”

This meeting with the family shows the friendship of entrusting the wife and the child. Deng Shichang knew what Xu Yifan meant, and solemnly saluted with a few girls, and the three girls had never seen such a scene, and they all panicked. Although I don't know what Xu Yifan is making trouble again, the solemn atmosphere between the two men made them unconsciously quiet, just looking at them seriously.

After seeing the ceremony, Deng Shichang smiled: "Just wait for Lord Xu to order troops to take me away...... What else is in the way of brothers? It's all gone! Brother Chuanqing, let my brother die with peace of mind! Leave some thoughts for Huaxia and some spirit for the Navy! ”

Xu Yifan also smiled: "You can rest assured to die!" The navy you can't let go, as long as I, Xu Yifan, am there, I will rebuild it for you! ”

The two looked at each other, shook hands and laughed in unison, but for some reason, the laughter gradually became desolate. Deng Shichang didn't say it, Xu Yifan finally felt that this was his first day! I am in it, feeling, working hard, and struggling, this Jiawu has been remembered by the Chinese people for a hundred years! This is no longer history, but the era in which he lives!

Deng Shichang smiled: "Don't disturb Brother Chuanqing to arrange family affairs, brother will leave." After Pyongyang, it is the end of the world...... Brother Chuanqing, brother is watching you from heaven! There must be a hero to clean up this river and mountain!

With that, he turned around and went out.

As soon as you leave, it will be the end of the world from now on.

Xu Yifan was silent for a long time, and slowly turned his head, he was no longer in the mood to coax the three girls to leave, so he was ready to simply give an order.

Li Xuan looked at him squarely, and smiled reluctantly for a while: "I really don't understand your man's affairs...... I just think that we girls really can't get in...... Alright, let's go! ”

After that, she turned her head to look at Du Juan and Chen Luoshi: "Don't you pack up your things?" Listen to me, I'm a big house! Get started today! He's not around, I'm here to take care of you! ”

Li Xuan finally took out the domineering spirit of the big house, Du Juan and Chen Luoshi were really frightened, and obediently turned around to pack up their things, but they couldn't help but look back at Xu Yifan who was quietly standing in the house, and the tears were about to fall, and finally they endured it.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, came over and kissed Xu Yifan: "Waiting for you!" Don't die! ”

(To be continued)
