Chapter Eighty-Eight: No One Should Have a Good Time

Shelling of Tianjing? For Lin Haijiang, it is just a process to let the ocean-going capital ships sail in the Yangtze River, which is in the dry season of winter? Lin Haijiang must have Xianfeng's head caught by the door panel, of course, it cannot be ruled out that this high-ranking Qing emperor does not know what a navy is at all.

As the name suggests, the Yangtze River is a river, even if it is wide, it is a river, and the use of sail warships to swim against the current in the winter when the northwest wind is mostly northwesterly is a risky move in itself, thanks to the fact that the battleship has been sold to Xianfeng, otherwise it is to hold a gun against Lin Haijiang, and Lin Haijiang will not agree to such a crazy move.

The shelling of Nanjing was already barely difficult, and it still had to deal with the camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei? In Lin Haijiang's opinion, it is pure nonsense.

In the early morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Haijiang arrived at Yanziji, but in what direction is Tianjing City? He was still a little confused, but the Taiping Army's test artillery at Yanziji Fort allowed the two ships Longwei and Longsheng to find a target to vent.

Yang Xiuqing's so-called non-obstruction is just an order to the Taiping Army's Wanchuan Battalion to strictly prohibit attacks to preserve its strength, but it does not include the artillery batteries along the river in various places, even if it is Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East who has been in power for a while, he does not dare to do it blatantly, otherwise once he is seated and colludes with the demon, he will fall into the rest of the land of no return.

After shelling the Yanziji Taiping Army Battery, Lin Haijiang ordered the two ships to shell Tianjing with a large elevation angle and a high charge!

After the aimless shelling, Lin Haijiang commanded the two ships to slowly disappear into the river at night, Lin Haijiang was very satisfied with the effect of his shelling, after all, it caused several fires, and there were still some results, and it could be regarded as a difference to the above.

As for the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Lin Haijiang had already been left aside, and he was ready to fight after returning to Guangzhou.

Early the next morning, Wei Changhui, the pale-faced king of the north, found Hong Xiuquan and accused Yang Xiuqing of blocking the Qing demon, causing one of his mansions to be shelled and the mansion was destroyed and killed.

Hong Xiuquan naturally knew that the mansion Wei Changhui mentioned was a secret place where gunpowder, armor, and dead soldiers were hidden according to his will.

On the way back, Lin Haijiang secretly met with Miles, and more than 4,000 flintlock rifles of various types made Lin Haijiang smile, and Miles immediately told Lin Haijiang that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wanted to buy cannons from him that could threaten battleships like the Longwei.

In this regard, Lin Haijiang laughed, Yang Xiuqing must not have imagined that he was the real big boss behind the arms trade, and he even wanted to buy a cannon from himself Yang Xiuqing to sink his ship? Yang Xiuqing's head seemed to be the same as Xianfeng, and it was also caught by the door panel.

Subsequently, Lin Haijiang instructed Myers to be more secretive in the future, and the place of delivery was chosen in Guangzhou, which was too dangerous to deliver to the door, and it was also dangerous to reverse the payment for goods over a long distance, Lin Haijiang believed that as long as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom tasted the sweetness of advanced weapons, they would not be able to stop.

Five days later, Lin Haijiang returned to Guangzhou with the 'brilliant' achievement of shelling Tianjing, and Ye Mingchen and Bai Gui came to greet him at the dock?

This made Lin Haijiang somewhat moved, but Ye Mingchen and Bai Gui's faces seemed to be very bad? What seems to be something unspeakable?

As soon as he entered the Liangguang Governor's Mansion, what entered Lin Haijiang's eyes was an incense case for receiving the order, Ye Mingchen helplessly signaled to Lin Haijiang, and the inexplicable Lin Haijiang hurriedly knelt down to accept the order? Lin Haijiang wondered very much in his heart, the will of this reward seemed to come too quickly, right?

The decree was very short, and the eunuch who pronounced the decree quickly read it, and then kindly helped Lin Haijiang up and said: "The emperor can't do anything about it, Lord Lin, you also have to be considerate of the emperor, you don't go to the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps this time, it can be said that you have committed public anger, and the emperor has already transferred the Fujian Navy Division from Longwei and Longsheng, and he said that he set sail and rushed to the account of Lord Rong to listen to it." ”

Long Keer, the deputy general of the Fujian Navy Division on the side, arched his hand proudly and said, "Please allow Lord Lin to allow my department to board the ship and receive the inventory." ”

Lin Haijiang's face turned blue and said: "Can you row a sampan and control a third-class battleship?" Have you ever used Western artillery? It's just nonsense, I want to play the emperor! ”

Ye Mingchen pulled Lin Haijiang over and said in a low voice: "Lord Lin, are you ready to resist the decree?" Any idea how many people are waiting to see your jokes? The emperor has already dazzled you, what else do you want? ”

Lin Haijiang sighed slightly and said: "Order all the personnel to gather at the dock with their personal belongings, and hand over the whole ship to Master Long Keer, the deputy general of the Fujian Navy Division, there must be no mistake." ”

It can be said that 50% of the officers on the Longwei and Longsheng are all Westerners who have returned from the Mediterranean Sea and Lin Haijiang, and many of them have married Chinese wives in the old port and can speak fluent Chinese.

The armed confrontation at the dock was finally suppressed by Lin Haijiang, and a group of people got off the ship honestly, and Long Keer, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, saw Lin Haijiang, who was blue and blue, and did not dare to make more mistakes, so he had to write down the accounts and then calculate.

Looking at the slow distance, even the mainsail could not be raised, and the masts of the two ships that only relied on the auxiliary sail to turn the rudder made a strange sound, and the sailors on the shore shouted in pain.

Lin Haijiang took a deep breath and smiled: "Don't shout, the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, don't you all want to serve on the ironclad ship a long time ago?" The new ships will be back soon, and I promise you will be the first to board them. ”

After Lin Haijiang returned to the Admiral's Mansion in Guangdong, he pushed all the things on the bookcase to the ground with a bang, and the purple juan and lily outside the door glanced at it from time to time.

Lin Haijiang knew very well that this was just a trick played by Xianfeng, the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not trust the Han people to control the military power at all, and even the situation of Zeng Guofan, who fought fiercely with the Taiping army on the front line, was not optimistic, and the imperial court wanted the horses to run fast, but also did not want to give the horses grazing, and the momentum of the Hunan army was not as high as described in the song.

If there was no so-called imperial court dragging its feet, Zeng Guofan would not have lost many battles in history and had to throw himself into the water many times! Things in China are often so weird that people who want to do something practical always find themselves embattled.

After Lin Haijiang calmed down, he immediately drafted a recital for Xianfeng that his master held a pen, Lin Haijiang described to Xianfeng that the Yangtze River is not suitable for naval warfare ships, and the fixed waterway makes it impossible for the battleship to carry out tactical evasion when it encounters the enemy's shelling, and Lin Haijiang also said that according to reliable information, the Taiping Army seems to have been equipped with the latest powerful artillery, which can pose a threat to the two ships Longwei and Longsheng, and listed that Longke and his subordinates have no ability to command warships of this level, etc., In the end, Lin Haijiang asked for the opening of the telegraph service.

Immediately after the recital was issued, Lin Haijiang secretly summoned Miles, who was extremely shocked that Lin Haijiang was preparing to sell the latest Krupp cannon to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Lin Haijiang said with a normal face: "Miles, if they can afford to pay ten times the price, we will be responsible for the installation and help debug." ”

Miles took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "Are you really going to sink those two ships?" ”

Lin Haijiang nodded solemnly and said, "If someone else successfully takes something from me for the first time, then there will be a second and a third, or even a fourth time, do you understand?" Let me live uncomfortably, no one should think about it! ”

After Myers left, Lin Haijiang directly handed over the silver taels obtained from the sale of guns to Sicoman of the Prussian foreign company, and Lin Haijiang's wealth and endless money really shocked the Prussians.

Lin Haijiang's performance can be described as a backwater in the Forbidden City, since Xianfeng has obtained the charter, and the reason is sufficient, in the eyes of the ministers, what new cannons, narrow waterways, and even tactics are all excuses, once the Han people have military power, they will only maintain and consolidate their strength.

Su Shun and Prince Yi Zaiyuan are also lonely, it is very rare that Monk Lingqin also opened his mouth to help a few words, Su Shun as a person who knows a little bit about military affairs, he knows very well the truth of specialization, before he heard Lin Haijiang said, the whole ship's rope sailors have to go through three years of training, and they were suddenly taken aback, the giant ship is a powerful weapon in the hands of Lin Haijiang, and it is likely to become a sacrifice for the loss of the teacher and humiliation of the country if he changes others.

Su Shun's persistence was besieged by Jing Shou and others in the end, Xiang Rong, Qi Shan and others followed the trend like Mount Tai pressed the top, the most important thing is that Xianfeng did not want the two giant ships to be handed over to the Han people to control, Su Shun's persistence was unexpectedly appreciated by Xianfeng.

Promoted to Minister of the Interior Military Aircraft Walking! Xianfeng successfully diverted what Su Shun was pointing at, and Jing Shou and the others, who had attacked Su Shun before, were suddenly speechless, no one expected that this would be the result? However, Xianfeng's final plan to let Su Shun plan to hold a telegram can also be regarded as a response to Lin Haijiang's rules.

After going down to the court, everyone congratulated Su Shun, and Su Shun, who had a numb expression, looked at the gray sky, and said helplessly: "It is not the luck of the country to enter the country!" ”
