After a few days, the Jiaolong was quietly moored on the wharf, and although it was guarded by a large number of soldiers, it was still surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the Marine and Land Division, many of whom were foreigners.

At first, these foreigners were foreigners hired by the garrison and sailors, and later they were some foreign journalists, and they actually took pictures and circulated them during Wang Chenhao's carelessness.

The Jiaolong was soon published in the newspapers, and the attention of the Jiaolong at home and abroad was immediately highly concerned about the Jiaolong, a submarine with two large pincers, and among the officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division, some people could not hold their mouths and poked out how the Jiaolong stopped the Yoshino and Naniwa, which immediately surprised the military strategists of various countries.

It is said that the Ben Empire set up a large number of spies in the territory of the Qing Empire, and they stepped up their efforts to collect intelligence about the Beiyang Naval Division after the Battle of the Yellow Sea. After Jiaolong and Wang Chenhao were exposed, they were immediately targeted by the spies.

The telegram was soon sent to the base camp, and Ito Yuhyung was furious, vowing to kill Wang Chenhao and his Jiaolong.

At the same time, the Admiralty immediately began to study and discuss the Jiaolong's combat methods, and finally decided to install anti-"explosion" nets around the oars and rudder to stop the Jiaolong's underwater attack.

However, after the installation of anti-"explosion" nets, the speed of the ships of the Navy will be affected to a certain extent, and the rated speed will be reduced by about half a knot. However, compared to the speed of the ships of the Beiyang Naval Division or the underwater threat of the Jiaolong, this price is bearable.

It is said that all the ships of the combined fleet have ended their "naked running" and put on their "underwear", even if the Jiaolong comes to "commit crimes" again, it will be quite laborious and laborious to "explode".

After figuring out the real reason for the defeat in the Yellow River naval battle, the Imperial Navy rekindled its fighting spirit.

On October 14, all ships of the Combined Fleet were repaired and arrived at the Sasebo Naval Base on the 15th, waiting for the replenishment of ammunition and coal.

At the same time, after completing the repairs, the ships of the Beiyang Naval Division sailed out of the dock one after another, anchored in the harbor and assembled, preparing to return to Weihaiwei's home port.

Prior to this, Wang Chenhao had passed Yang Shixiang's examination and was taken to Tianjin to meet Li Hongzhang, while his Jiaolong was taken back to Weihaiwei Military Port by the Zhiyuan ship.

Before leaving, Wang Chenhao entrusted Deng Shichang to take care of the Jiaolong on his behalf, and asked him to protect the Jiaolong. It wasn't until Deng Shichang patted his chest and assured that Wang Chenhao left with confidence.

Yang Shixiang took Wang Chenhao to Tianjin Shuiguan Wharf by speedboat, and then took him to the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili.

The Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, formerly in the Daimyo Mansion of Baoding. In 1870, the Qing court assigned the trade affairs of Tianjin, Yingkou and Yantai ports to the Governor of Zhili, and conferred the title of Minister of Trade of Beiyang to the Governor of Zhili.

Since then, the governor of Zhili has been stationed in Tianjin, and he returned to Baoding in the off-season of foreign trade in winter. However, with Li Hongzhang's establishment of modern foreign affairs and the acting Beiyang Navy, the governor of Zhili was stationed in Tianjin, making the yamen in Baoding an ornament.

Beiyang seems to have become synonymous with a kind of power.

At least, that's what Wang Chenhao thinks is like this.

In contrast to Nanyang, the huge Beiyang group has always become a term representing the final stage of the late Qing Dynasty.

It has the largest number of troops equipped with modern weapons in the Qing Empire, the most mining machine bureaus, and the most powerful fleet; There is the Beiyang Armed Forces Academy for training army officers, and the Tianjin Navy Academy for training naval officers. The forces cover the three provinces of Zhilu and Henan, the Liaodong Peninsula in Fengtian, and the two fortresses and naval bases of Lushun and Weihaiwei.

The huge Beiyang naturally needs financial support, so the considerable tariff revenue of the three customs offices around the Bohai Bay is also at the disposal of Beiyang.

This Beiyang also because of Li Hongzhang's diplomatic skills, but also acted as part of the country's diplomatic functions, which shows that Beiyang was another small court in the late Qing Dynasty.

Beiyang can be described as full of talents, representing one of the most advanced groups in the Qing Empire. At one time, it was the center and hope of the Qing Empire's self-improvement and Westernization movement, and it was a small window for the Qing government to face the world and slowly carry out its own changes.

However, the speed of Beiyang's metamorphosis reform was too slow and incomplete, and finally let the small man next to him surpass it.

Beiyang!

The behemoth that appeared in front of Wang Chenhao alive made him sigh deeply in his heart.

Wang Chenhao was not used to wearing the horse coat and petal skirt of the ancients, so before he came, he had bought a black dress in Lushun and changed it, which cost him more than half a month's salary, which was paid by Deng Shichang on his behalf.

At the entrance of the governor's mansion, the superintendent's personal soldier who stood upright, pinched his waist with his left hand, held the butt of a foreign gun on the stone steps with his right hand, and guarded the guard without squinting.

The surroundings were quiet and solemn, and the ants didn't dare to come and wander around, there was really a bit of the majesty of the first governor's yamen!

Since Wang Chenhao was brought by Yang Shixiang, he didn't need to pass it on to get in.

The soldiers who guarded the door looked at this young man dressed in black, trying to remember Wang Chenhao's face, and the next time he saw him, he didn't know Taishan.

In the West Wing Pavilion, Yang Shixiang arranged for someone to serve Wang Chenhao to rest for a while, and he went to see Li Hongzhang in person.

Unexpectedly, Li Hongzhang was not there, and Yang Shixiang was called away by his colleagues to discuss important matters, so Wang Chenhao was left alone in the wing.

Wang Chenhao waited for a long time, and when he was impatient, he came out to shop.

Li Hongzhang was in a high position, and his office was naturally magnificent, and Wang Chenhao, who was watching, was fascinated and unconsciously walked into the back garden.

There is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, which refers to the fairyland of Suzhou gardens. In the back garden of the office, you can also see trees and flowers from all over the country, which shows that the power of the owner is monstrous.

As he walked, he suddenly heard the sound of a woman playing, and Wang Chenhao was curious and walked away.

Turning the rockery, under a few osmanthus trees on the green space next to the stream, several young women in various beautiful costumes are chasing each other around the thick osmanthus trees.

The young woman's frolicking voice immediately attracted Wang Chenhao's attention and stopped to watch.

From Lushun to Tianjin, Wang Chenhao rarely saw young women walking around the streets, and their clothes were very simple, with no bright colors and few jewelry.

But here, under the osmanthus tree, three women chasing each other are gorgeously dressed, and the gold and silver jewelry they carry shine in the golden sunlight in the frolic, giving them a layer of dreamlike color, like fairies.

The three women were dressed in red, green, and white, and their bumpy figures were suddenly outlined vividly when they bent over and raised their hips.

The three of them do not have the "two heads" worn by the banner women, but the hanging hair of the Han women. This hairstyle is mostly the hairstyle of girls who have not left the house, and the hair is divided into strands, knotted at the top, without support, so that it hangs down naturally, and ties the tail and hangs on the shoulder, also known as the swallowtail.

Presumably this is the beauty of the Qing Dynasty!

Wang Chenhao looked at the woman in ancient costume for the first time, which was much more real than on TV and movies.

Perhaps tired of the chase, the three girls stopped one after another. Or maybe there were no outsiders, the woman in red and the woman in green sat directly on the lawn, only the woman in white reached out to pick an osmanthus flower, and then smelled the osmanthus intoxicated.

Touching the scene, Wang Chenhao suddenly felt the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and couldn't help but look at her infatuatedly.

The woman in white is tall, wearing a moon white dress, with snow feather shoulders, wearing a milky white mixed with pink satin skirt, rusty water patterns, nameless colors, irregularly made of many gold and silver lines, snow beaver fluff, slender waist is not enough to hold Yingying, showing a delicate figure. The big glazed eyes were shining, like black stones, the eyes were open and fleeting, and the cherry sip was not bright and glamorous. A head of hair lightly pulls the silver jade purple moon hairpin, like a captivating city, as if floating like a fairy.

What a stunning woman!

The moment Wang Chenhao saw the beautiful woman in white, his heart jumped up and thumped, and he hurriedly took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the stunning woman who was intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers.

"Click!"

The instant sound of the mobile phone taking pictures immediately alarmed the three daughters in the tranquility.

"Who?"

The woman in red screamed, and the three women looked at Wang Chenhao next to the rockery.

Wang Chenhao secretly screamed bad and hurriedly slipped away. Unexpectedly, the road around the rockery was too complicated, and after turning around twice, it was blocked by three women in unison.

Looking at the three beauties with angry eyes, Wang Chenhao had no choice but to pretend to be stupid and smiled: "Hey! Hello three beauties! ”
