"Today's world is like the Spring and Autumn Period of Middle-earth, if we want to prevent other countries from encroaching upon, we must have a strong navy." Ding Yusheng's gaze turned to some other large ships under construction, and sighed, "It's just that before the navy is completed, it must first build a transport ship to transport goods to the merchants, and use the money to build the ship, otherwise, this navy will not be able to succeed in the end." ”

"Don't be anxious, you must know that this time we have built, but the merchant ships that can be converted into warships, if there is really a war in the future, it is also convenient to quickly convert such merchant ships into substitute cruisers (auxiliary cruisers)." Lin Yiqing smiled and comforted Ding Yusheng.

"It's thanks to your Hanpeng reminder, that's what you did in Japan, it's really amazing, I'm just drawing a gourd like this time." Ding Yusheng looked at a Satsuma merchant ship with the Satsuma "Cross Maru" flag parked not far from the shipyard in the distance, and sighed with emotion.

This Satsuma merchant ship was originally here to do business, but now it has become a template for the merchant ships of the Qianguo country.

During Lin Yiqing's journey to the north, Ding Yusheng, Lin Yiqing, and Li Shaoquan had been discussing the construction of the navy's coastal defense through telegrams; because Lin Yiqing was the actual commander of the Satsuma Navy and Army during the Japanese Southwest War, and commanded the Satsuma Navy to achieve many victories, it was his experience that became an important reference for Ding Yusheng and Li Shaoquan in building the Qianguo Navy, and Lin Yiqing's opinions were often affirmed and supported by the two of them.

During the Southwest War, due to the serious shortage of warships in the Satsuma Navy, Lin Yiqing creatively converted a large number of captured Japanese merchant ships into auxiliary cruisers, and launched a sabotage attack on the sea area controlled by the Meiji government, and achieved great results. It attracted the attention of naval observers from all over the world. This was reported in newspapers around the world. Ding Yusheng and Li Shaoquan were amazed by this. After Lin Yiqing returned to China, in the face of the fact that the Qianguo Navy also lacked ships, Lin Yiqing proposed the idea of building a large merchant ship that could be upgraded to an auxiliary cruiser in wartime, which was immediately approved by Ding Yusheng and Li Shaoquan, and when Lin Yiqing finished meeting His Majesty in Beijing and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, with the joint efforts of Ding Yusheng and Li Shaoquan, the plan to build a large merchant ship had been approved by the imperial court. The implementation began.

Due to the imperial court's requirement of "quick completion", and the unprecedented subsidy given by the navy under the yamen, the construction began with the construction of large merchant ships and the construction of torpedo gunboats, due to the tight time, and there was no ready-made ship type to refer to, Lin Yiqing came up with an emergency solution, that is, the original modified as an auxiliary cruiser used as a template for the Satsuma merchant ship, on the basis of a slight improvement, to design the most suitable ship type.

Under the orders of Lin Yiqing, the merchant ships that had served as auxiliary cruisers were selected by the Mitsubishi Osaka Trading Company led by Iwasaki Yuka. While transporting goods to Fuzhou to do business, it is available to the shipmaster. After some efforts, the final chief engineer of the shipyard selected a large French-style merchant ship as a template, and designed it as a high-speed merchant ship according to Lin Yiqing's requirements, with three gun emplacements reserved on each side, and the corresponding deck reinforcement support, so as to facilitate its transformation into an armed troop carrier and auxiliary cruiser in wartime, without the need for ship escort, and can protect itself through its own high speed and self-defense firepower. With the efforts of Dashibo and the shipmaster's students, a large high-speed passenger and cargo transport ship was soon designed, and Ding Yusheng named this class of merchant ship "Tongji", and today, it is the day when "Tongji" started to lay the keel.

"The hour has come, my lord." Ding Yusheng was talking to Lin Yiqing, and the shipmaster promoted Wu Zhongxiang to come over and say to Ding Yusheng.

Ding Yusheng and Lin Yiqing went to the ceremony site at the moment, when Lin Yiqing suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, he pretended to turn his head inadvertently, and suddenly saw the beautiful woman in white clothes fluttering in the distance under the sea breeze.

Lin Yiqing recognized who she was at a glance, and when he thought of her affection for him, his heart couldn't help but feel sweet.

But he understands that in Qianguo, a country where Confucian etiquette is ubiquitous, he cannot marry arbitrarily like in Japan, and now is Shen Youdan's mourning period, in this country where "filial piety governs the world", Li Sizhu, as a daughter, is not allowed to marry during the mourning period for her father.

Lin Yiqing couldn't hold back her feelings of affection and walked towards the viewing platform with Ding Yusheng.

"Mr. Xu, you see, it's really ...... Kunyu is exactly the same......"

In the distance, on another hillside, a young woman in a plain white dress supported a white-haired old man, also looking at Lin Yiqing.

"yes...... It's really the same appearance as Kunyu! It's just that because of the battle of life and death, there is a calm and heroic spirit between the gestures! The old man whispered, tears glistening in his sunken eyes.

This old man is Xu Rui, the master who used to be close to Lin Yizhe like a father and son, and the young woman next to him is Lin Yizhe's surviving Chen Wan.

"Mr. Xu, he is Kunyu's own brother, and he is lurking in Japan on Kunyu's orders, he should know Mr., why doesn't Mr. recognize him? ......" Chen Wan said on the side, "Why didn't Mr. go to see him for a long time?" ”

Xu Rui listened to Chen Wan's words and let out a heavy sigh.

Chen Wan's words evoked the old man's memories of the past, and the scenes that happened in the past appeared in front of his eyes as if they had been reexperienced......

……

"How did Kunyu get here?"

"Stop! What are you going to do?! ”

"Where did you come from, wild girl!"

"Nosy...... Ouch! ”

"Who are you? Want to die? Whew-"

"Wan'er?! Caiyue?! ”

"It's all right! Uncle, Miss and I are here! ”

"Kunyu! It's okay! Come here! The ground is uneven, be careful with your feet. ”

"I didn't bring any guys today, otherwise, none of them would have been able to leave, huh!"

"Kunyu doesn't have to worry, those mundane things can't get close to Wan'er's body."

"That's too dangerous! Wan'er, you are pregnant with our child now! Even if you don't think about it, you have to think about it for the child in your womb—"

"Hee-hee-hee......"

"This old man should have encountered the gangster who kidnapped the ticket, but fortunately he was rescued by us, as the saying goes: save someone's life. Victory to create a seventh-level floating slaughter. Today's events. is too dangerous. Makes Kunyu worried. But if he didn't act in time, this old man might die. This is clearly a dead hand. blatantly committed murder in broad daylight, and I don't know which one is so rampant. ”

"Save people first, you two help me."

……

"Uncle, young grandmother, the old man who rescued him, he just vomited blood. Would you like to go over and have a look? ”

"Vomiting blood? How? ”

"I don't know. When my uncle first rescued him, he was still dizzy. After a while, he woke up, and just sat there, like a wooden man, asking and answering nothing. The group saw that there was no other injury on his body except for a little broken scalp, so they ignored him, and let him lie there to rest, and after a while, he suddenly shouted a word, and then spat out a mouthful of black blood. I fainted and now I'm awake again. ”

"Vomited blood after shouting a word? What did he shout? ”

"It's like shouting, 'Don't get rid of Hu Yulin.'" I swear not to be a human being'. And the servant said,

"Hu Yulin? Did you hear the name of Hu Yulin and Lord Hu that you were talking about? ”

"That's right, uncle, the little one was next to me at the time, and it was clear that it was the three sons of 'Hu Yulin'. The little one felt that this person might be related to Master Hu, so he hurriedly reported to his uncle and young grandmother. ”

"Don't spread this out beforehand. Take us over and take a look. ”

"Yes."

……

"Uncle, our aunt and young grandmother have come to see you. It was your aunt and young grandmother who saved you. ”

"Don't move, old man, your body is still weak, it's better to lie down-"

"Why don't you become an adult, and the old man will meet under Jiuquan with my granddaughter, and let the white-haired person send the black-haired person, and from then on, the yin and yang will be separated......"

"Go down, all of you."

"The younger generation's surname is Lin, the name is Zhe, and the grass word Kunyu; This is the Humble Jing Chen. What is your surname? What should the younger generation be called? ”

"The old man is surnamed Xu, a single name is a wise character, and the grass character is long." The old man's expression gradually returned to normal, "The adult called the old man 'Mr. Xu'." ”

"Oh-it turned out to be Mr. Xu, the younger generation is polite. What is the reason why Mr. is coming to Fuzhou? Why did you offend Hu Yulin and be poisoned? ”

Hearing Lin Yizhe's question, Xu Rui's eyes were full of grief and indignation for a while. His lips trembled for a few moments, and he didn't say a word, except for a heavy sigh.

"It's late, it's late! O my miserable granddaughter! Alas! ”

"What did Mr. Xu say was late? If it is useful to the younger generation, you may wish to say it clearly. Lin Yizhe was very strange and continued.

"Alas! Lord Lin, it's not old and unreasonable. Today's events, the adults and the lady rescued each other, and the old man will always remember the great virtue in his heart. But......" Xu Rui's eyes were full of despair, "Lord Lin knows that if I hadn't met my lord and lady today, and I had given my life, my granddaughter Yan'er might have a glimmer of life; But now that the news of my rescue has spread, Hu Yulin is ruthless and vicious, and it will definitely ruin my Yan'er's life! ”

"What?" Lin Yizhe and Chen Wan were all shocked.

"Yan'er! It's grandpa who hurt you! Grandpa, I'm sorry for you! Xu Rui couldn't help but feel sad, beat his chest with his hands, and cried loudly again.

"Mr. Xu, where did you start with this?" Lin Yizhe said hurriedly, "Mr. may wish to say bluntly to the juniors, things may have room for change." ”

Xu Rui, who was in tears, just shook his head there.

"The person Mr. Xu just said about harming the life of your granddaughter is Hu Yulin?" Chen Wan asked.

"Madame is exactly what she said, Hu Yulin, the villain who is damned by God! If you don't take revenge, you won't be blind to old decay! As soon as Xu Rui heard Hu Yulin's name, his face turned distorted with anger and pain. Adults can know that Hu Yulin loves women, he often looks for beauty in the market, and when he sees a beautiful woman, he must get his hands on it before he can rest. He relied on his wealth and power to fulfill his selfish desires, and married the woman who offended him back and deliberately insulted him before retiring him. My hard-working granddaughter Yan'er was forcibly snatched away by him. ”

"The old man is a native of Shaoxing Mansion, Zhejiang, who lost his wife in middle age and a son in his later years, and his daughter-in-law was martyred for her husband, and only Yan'er, a granddaughter under her knees, depended on me for her life. That day, Yan'er went shopping in the market, unfortunately Hu Yulin, a dog thief, bumped into it, Hu saw that my Yan'er was born with a peugeot, so he stepped forward to entangle, Yan'er avoided and returned home. Within a few days, Yiya Po came to the door to be a matchmaker, saying that Yan'er had reached the standard as soon as possible. There should be an in-law's family. He also said that Hu Mou has always cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade. I am willing to hire a thousand taels of silver. Take her as a side room. I know Hu's bad behavior. Of course, he refused to throw Yan'er into the fire pit, so he refused. Because I ignored him, Hu actually held a grudge in my heart and tried to take revenge. A few days later, Yan'er went to the street to buy fruits and vegetables, but never came back. The old man knew that something was wrong, so he first reported to the official, and then asked someone to inquire in many ways. There was no whereabouts of Yan'er for several days. On that day, I got up early and suddenly found the cloth that Yan'er used on weekdays at the door, with the words 'I am in the Hu family' written in blood, and I knew that Yan'er had been robbed into the Hu house. I went to Hu's house again and again to ask for someone, but Hu avoided it, and asked his subordinates to beat me with a stick. I went to the government to complain, but the government didn't want to offend Hu, so I didn't go to Hu's house to find out, and reprimanded the old and decayed for making something out of nothing and ruining the reputation of others. After remembering that I am old. No reprimand. Within a few years, Hu moved his family south, and the old decay tracked all the way here. I can't believe that he would do this to me! It doesn't matter if I'm dead, but my swallow ......"

When Xu Rui said this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he couldn't cry again.

After listening to Xu Rui's narration, Lin Yizhe's face turned pale, and his fists were clenched.

"Yan'er! Oh my swallow! Grandpa is incompetent, he can't save you! Grandpa, I'm sorry for you! ”

"Mr. Xu's condolences." Lin Yizhe stood up, looked at Xu Rui, and said word by word: "Mr. is already injured, if he is too sad and can't afford to be sick, how can he avenge this blood in the future?" ”

Listening to Lin Yizhe's words, Xu Rui's crying stopped, he raised his head suddenly, and a pair of bloodshot eyes with deep sunken eye sockets stared at Lin Yizhe tightly.

"Mr. Xu knows that Hu Yulin has a strong backer and many friends. Relying on the words of the gentleman alone, he will definitely not fall. As the saying goes: It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Since the old gentleman wants Hu to pay for his blood debts, he must first ensure that his body is in good condition, and he must not be in a hurry. To deal with a villain like Hu, it is especially necessary to figure it slowly. What does the old gentleman think? ”

It is the words of this young man with a sense of justice that have allowed him to live to this day......

"The old gentleman is resting here, one of the murderers who poisoned the old gentleman has been captured here, and the younger generation will try him for the first trial, and then he will be dealt with."

"Uncle, that's him. This man has been tied up here since he came, ready to be sent to the officials, and no one in the house has abused him. The wound on his head was from the moment he came. ”

"Grandpa has gone unlucky, since it has fallen into your hands, you have to kill it casually! Don't want to ask a word out of grandpa's mouth! ”

"Look me in the eye."

"Look at your mother's ......"

"What's your name?"

Ma Shenghou ...... The victorious victorious, the Hou ...... of the Hou Ye My father gave me this name, hoping that I could become a marquis in the future...... But now they look down on me...... Call me a horse monkey......"

"Who are you doing for now?"

"A group of us are all running errands for Master Hu...... Our Master Hu, that's a well-known character......"

"What's Master Hu's name?"

"Our Master Hu? What's it called? …… You make me think about it...... Yes, I remembered, our old man Hu's name is Hu Yulin, and the word is far away......"

"What did Master Hu tell you to do with that old man surnamed Xu?"

"Beat the stuffy stick, a set of sacks, fill the big stones, and sink the river ......"

"Why did Uncle Xu offend your Master Hu? Do this to him? ”

"That old man always comes to the door to make trouble, and he also ruins our Master Hu's reputation outside, saying nonsense that our Master Hu robbed his daughter, where did our Master Hu do that? It was bought above board. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged women don't have them? Our Master Hu has a lot of silver, what kind of woman can't buy it? Do you still need to grab it? Let me tell you, women nowadays all recognize money, and as soon as our Master Hu takes out the silver, which one is not obedient? Even if they don't recognize money, don't their parents recognize money? Besides, our Master Hu didn't really like them, he just wanted to be fresh, and he sent them away after a few days. That old man Xu doesn't know each other, of course our old man Hu has to give him some color to see...... Kill or chop, whatever you want! Grandpa, I won't recruit you! ”

"You don't have to say anything now, because you've done it all."

……

"The confession is here, what is Mr. Xu's plan?"

"Lao Qi is not talented, I am willing to listen to the son's orders."

"Mr. Xu knows that this confession alone, as well as the physical evidence we have, cannot cause Hu Yulin to die."

"Old and faint, please ask the son to explain in detail."

Hu Yulin has a ruthless temperament and is extremely meticulous, and after he learns that the old man has been rescued and his family has been captured, he will inevitably destroy all physical evidence. Therefore, with our current strength, we cannot defeat him. Moreover, he has silver in his hand, and he will definitely put it up and down. He has another backer behind him, and once he doesn't fall, he is likely to be bitten back. ”

“……”

"The younger generation understands the pain in the old gentleman's heart, but if you want to avenge your granddaughter's great revenge, you must not be in a hurry. The squid tree has deep roots, and if a blow does not kill it, it will be infinitely troubled. To deal with the thief, when the time comes, get rid of it in one fell swoop. Removing a thief is like removing a carbuncle from the human body, and it must be completely festered before it can be removed by the roots. What does the old gentleman think? ”

Xu Rui suddenly looked up at Lin Yizhe, his eyes suddenly constricted.

"The younger generation still thinks that if you want to get rid of the thief, you have to get rid of one person-"

"My lord is saying - Zuo Jigao ......"

"It is this person, Zuo Jigao and Hu Thief can be said to have been honored and disgraced for a long time, Mr. thinks that if I wait for Hu Yulin, Zuo Jigao will stand by and watch?"

"What the adults say, every word is golden. But there is still something unclear about the old decay, the adults and the old decay are not related to each other, why do you want to help the old decay so much? (To be continued......)

PS: The summer of the student party is called summer, a long summer vacation that makes people lose patience, chasing idol dramas in the sound of cicadas, eating watermelon in the air-conditioned room, making an appointment with the boy you like to go to the library for self-study, and then falling asleep on the table. Got up from the pool and went home smelling of bleaching powder, guessing that tonight was probably saltwater edamame. Time drags on as far as the shade of a tree. And July and August for adults can only be called "those days when the weather is very hot".
