Ding Zhihuang's political leaning should be ultra-conservative, but from another point of view, it can also be called ultra-radicalism. Now, more than 200 years have passed, the population of Middle-earth has increased several times, the structure and scale of the social, political and economic structure and scale have undergone many changes, and many of the regulations of the early days of the founding of the country have been silently abolished and replaced by rules that grew naturally in the course of social operation. However, the principle of Ding Zhihuang and his "Qing Guan" clan is to oppose the new rules, and they all sweep away, leaving no pieces behind. In their bodies, in the bodies of generations of Middle-earth intellectuals, there is always a surge of radical blood. They always think that there is an ultimate truth that can explain the whole universe and solve all problems. If you find this truth, be steadfast, and make bold moves, you can shatter an old world for a glorious new one. That's why they are always so self-right, always so fierce and absolute, always so unrelenting, and always so lacking constructive space. And their failure is always inevitable. Like Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty, Hai Rui of the Min Dynasty, and Ding Zhihuang of the Min Dynasty, in fact, the same.

The spirit of the Qing officials is commendable, but the spirit can be used to write in books, recorded in history, and inspire people, but it cannot be applied to practice, which is actually the common fate of "Qing officials" through the ages. "Qingguan" is just a fig leaf for officialdom, just a pot of flowers on the windowsill of the latrine.

The so-called "the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear", Ding Zhihuang, who is in the officialdom, of course, will not realize the cause of the problem at this time, but is still obsessed with his own ideas.

"Li Zhangtong, Li Zhangtong, sure enough, you and the demon surnamed Lin are all the way!" Ding Zhihuang remembered Li Shaoquan's previous repeated suggestion to merge the Rongdeng Naval Division and the Beiyang Naval Division, and said hatefully.

In Ding Zhihuang's view, this time the mutiny of the Rongdeng Sailor was properly the black hand of Li Shaoquan in order to annex the Rongdeng Sailor!

"You Li Zhangtong is not kind, so don't blame me for not being emotional!"

Ding Zhihuang got up and took the pen and paper, and immediately prepared a recital for the imperial court.

After a while, the memora was written, and Ding Zhihuang took a few glances and felt very satisfied.

In this recital, for the reason for the mutiny of the Rongdeng Sailor, Ding Zhihuang skillfully used a curved pen, he did not mention in the compromise that the sailor was because of the mutiny of the boat, but directly pointed out that it was because of the "trouble", for the arrears of wages, the explanation he gave was to ensure that the "river work" (control of the Yellow River breach) and the "Western Expedition Assistance", embezzled part of the military salary in advance, and waited until the tax came up, "and then make up for it", in addition, he also specifically mentioned in the compromise that the mutiny of the Rongdeng Navy Division "may have secretly instigated the envoys", hinted to the imperial court that there was a hidden reason for the mutiny, and said that it would be resolutely investigated to the end.

After writing the excerpt, Ding Zhihuang seemed to feel that it was not enough, he thought about it, and simply wrote a letter to Li Shaoquan, directly questioning Li Shaoquan in the letter, why did he do this? He also pointed out that Li Shaoquan's actions were unkind and unjust, and scolded Li Shaoquan fiercely.

After writing the recital and the letter to Li Shaoquan, Ding Zhihuang couldn't wait to call someone and immediately sent the recital and the letter out.

At this time, Ding Zhihuang would not have thought of what kind of consequences his fold would bring to him.

Tianjin, Dagukou Port.

Deng Zhengqing sat in his own cabin on the cruiser "Princess Peshuo", looking up at the busy docks and the shuttle ships coming and going.

For many days, he often sat alone.

"Dying before leaving the school often makes heroes cry......" Deng Zhengqing said softly, slammed his fist on the table, and cried bitterly, "Lord Lin, you shouldn't go!" ……”

"Lord Lin, do you know that when you go, the hearts of the brothers are scattered......

"Lord Lin, you and your brothers have come over with such bullets, why did you suddenly ......?"

"Lord Lin, do you know how sad the brothers are that they didn't even see you for the last time? The brothers want to go over to see you, but we are a navy, and we can't enter Beijing without an order, and we can't enter Beijing! ”

Deng Zhengqing was saddened, and suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Who! Didn't I tell you, don't bother Lao Tzu now? Deng Zhengqing got up abruptly and roared in a hoarse voice.

The knock on the door was interrupted at once, as if the knocker was startled, but soon it rang twice.

"I said Lao Deng, you are so powerful!" A familiar voice came from the door, as if joking, with a slightly yin and yang tone, "Cowardly, you are scared to death!" ”

"You Liu Zixiang don't stay on your 'Longxiang' well, what are you doing on Lao Tzu's ship?" Deng Zhengqing knew who was coming, replied angrily, and quickly took the handkerchief and wiped the tears off his face.

The door opened, and Liu Buchan, the pipe band of the ironclad ship "Long Xiang", the flagship of the Beiyang Naval Division, walked in with square steps.

The "Longxiang" ironclad ship was originally the main ironclad ship of the Japanese Navy, a small ironclad ship with a displacement of 2,850 tons, which defeated the Nanyang Naval Division in the Battle of Fengshan Island in the Battle of Moss Bay, but then was stopped by the Naval Division of the East China Sea, and the bullets were all surrendered, and became a prisoner of the Qianguo Navy. And Liu Buchan, who returned from studying in France, is the pipe belt of this small ironclad ship.

"Brother Shichang, what's wrong? Shut yourself up? Liu Buchan noticed the strange look of Deng Zhengqing's expression, and asked with a pretended surprise, "Is there still something embarrassing?" ”

Deng Zhengqing frowned, obviously not liking Liu Buchan's inappropriate joke.

"Forget it, Lao Deng, I know why you're in a bad mood." Liu Bucian restrained his smile, sighed, and patted Deng Zhengqing's shoulder, "To be honest, these days when Lord Lin has left, my heart is as uncomfortable as you. ”

Deng Zhengqing listened to Liu Buciao's words, his throat tightened for a while, and his eyes became a little moist again.

"Lord Lin is gone, that Qingliu Coke is turning the sky upside down, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will attack the navy that we Lord Lin brought up." Liu Bucian slowly came to the porthole, looked out, and just saw the huge figure of the "Longxiang" ironclad ship.

At this time, the "Longxiang" was the same as Deng Zhengqing's "Princess Heshuo", and the mast was hung at half-mast.
