White-faced house, hanging lanterns, solid and bright!

This old saying in Fuzhou is ridiculing the meaning of hanging lanterns in Qing, Lou, brothels, and courtyards, thinking that they are glorious and beautiful. In Fuzhou's foreign market, in Taijiangxun, Tianyuan, Qing, Lou Street, that is not wrong at all.

At night, the lights of the "white-faced house" are lit brightly, melon seeds, fruits are put out, there are guests to sing songs, the music is sound, the feet are singing, the Fujian opera is pleasant, the lights are red and the wine is fragrant, the light song and dance, it is the favorite place for the giant businessmen, the tourists, and even the military and political officials to have fun. Staggered, Hulu drinks pheasants, drunk gold fans enjoy the first. The green and lou women who lean on the door and laugh and open the door to welcome customers, and the "white-faced houses" with rows of rows and bright banners can leave a deep impression on people more than others in Fuzhou.

But are there really only women in Qing, Lou, brothels, and hospitals? Will the man in there only be a turtle male? In China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the male style was not ordinary. Playing with each other, raising male pets, |excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast|WWW.UUXS.CC|even a taste in officialdom. Especially Fujian.

That's not a joke.

……

Tian Yuan, in the dungeon of a not-so-large Xiang Mansion.

A handsome young man lay on the ground without dignity, hissing and pleading.

"I do! I'm willing to do anything! Give me a sip......"

A miserable shout came from the cell, and the owner of this voice was none other than an American steamer who had just stepped down from the ship that had arrived in Fuzhou half a month ago, and had not had time to leave a mark and connect with the organization. The Ohashi Yoshi, who 'disappeared'! Of course, he now has a perfect Chinese identity - Qiao Yi.

An elite cultivated by a dignified Japanese secret agency. The 'Imperial Great Man' praised by Okubo Toshitsu is fluent in American English and Chinese with a Shandong accent. Knowing a good knowledge of Western studies, having certain attainments in business, chemistry and machinery, and having a diploma from a regular university in the United States, such an elite-level spy has become a fragrant bun in the eyes of local gangsters because of his eye-catching appearance at the Fuzhou dock. Especially after he revealed that he was an expatriate who returned from the United States, he was directly knocked out by four gangsters.

The United States is back? That is, there is no foundation in the country.

All the piglets who go to the United States will be sold to the United States as piglets if they have a foundation in China. So it's not dangerous to get this kid at all.

Ohashi thought that he was the first to raise his 'reputation', but he never thought that it would become the most direct reason for his robbery.

After Ohashi woke up. Man is already in the dungeon. He felt incredulous, and at the same time, more shame went straight to his heart. The trump card against Liu Xian was caught by a group of thugs before he even saw the target. Ohashi felt that his dignity had been completely trampled on and ravaged. And it's a pity that Ohashi is an intellectual spy, not a force type. He himself could not break the fence of the dungeon with his bare hands, and he also managed to take the opportunity to make trouble when the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to pick up people, and killed people in an instant under the knives and guns of a group of thugs. And then fight all the way out. So he was once again disgraced, gagged with rags, and his legs and feet were tied firmly, and stuffed into a box. Finally came to the dungeon of the Xiang Mansion.

Ohashi will not betray his faith, although he seems to be a little 'incompetent' as a spy. It's a bit too 'beckoning', but his loyalty to Japan is unquestionable. The mind has been decided. No matter how coercive and enticing these 'gangsters' try to torture them. He won't say a word.

At that time, Ohashi had always wondered if the qiē in front of him was a play. After all, as spies, it is their instinct to be suspicious. Until the experience of the last ten days told him, this qiē was not a play, but a real fact. The methods of training people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ohashi Yoshishi really suffered. And in the end, he still knelt down in front of the big smoke. Surrendered while he could still control his own brain, the provincial smoking addiction drove his will crazy, and in the unconscious howl, he told his true identity.

Ohashi knows the 'wonderfulness' of smoking a big cigarette, and it is said that it is a feeling like ascending to the immortal. It can give people unprecedented comfort and enjoyment. But Ohashi has never touched the big smoke, he has been in the United States for three years, and how many times he has been close to that thing, he has not even looked at it. But being forced to commit a smoking addiction, Ohashi Yoshishi enjoyed the beauty of ascending to the immortal, and now he enjoys the torment of going to hell and going to the oil pot. The smoke was right in front of him, but Ohashi stretched his arm to the extreme, and he was still a foot away from the cigarette stick. And this foot is far away from the end of the world. Even if his arm was bled from the fence, it was useless.

Ohashi held out for an hour at first, and now he felt more and more like his sanity was being swallowed up. If he didn't get the cigarette stick, he didn't know when his mind was going to collapse. When the time comes, if you really tell your identity, the Great Japanese Empire will suffer.

"Qiao Yi, how is it? Obedient or disobedient? ”

When the steward heard the news, he rushed over and looked at the bridge who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. In front of the smoke, no matter how steel-like you are, you will become a soft finger. What's more, this little white face in front of you?

"Obedient, I'm obedient. I listen to all and everything to you. Give me a cigarette stick, I can't stand it, give me a cigarette stick......"

The steward walked away with a smug laugh. There will be one more good card in his hand in the future.,That look.,A little training is a first-class celebrity.。

Liu Xian didn't know that the Fuzhou gangsters he didn't even look at in his eyes, a group of indiscriminate characters, had erased a big enemy for him.

And Takahashi, who was the most angry and worried in this matter, was going crazy. It has been half a month since Daqiaoyi arrived in Fuzhou, but what about people? What about the joint marks he left behind? Liu Xian's governor Yamen did not have his figure, and there was no shadow of Daqiaoyi in several factories of the Qin army. Ohashi is gone!

"Yaga! Yaga! ”

What annoys people the most is this kind of sudden accident. Takahashi can guarantee Ohashi's loyalty to the Imperial Kingdom. But if people can't find it, and there is no trace left, it will test people's patience and heart too much.

Without alarming the Qing court, Takahashi continued to search for ......

……

Tianjin.

Aboard an American steamer bound for Japan, Elem took one last look at the ground behind him, and walked into the cabin without looking back. He came with faith and glory, but in the far east he encountered the greatest shame and contempt of his life.

Alem did not know why Guersier was only confronted with a firm 'will', while he himself was confronted with an almost brutal 'will'. If you dare not agree, if you dare to agree or not, I will repair your domineering and make Ellem cry. He was crying about his future, and after returning to China this time, with such a treaty, his future was completely bright.

Beiyang Minister's Residence. Li Hongzhang said to Zhou Fu: "This diplomacy really relies on fists. The fist is hard, and the unreasonable becomes reasonable; The fist is soft, and the reasonable becomes unreasonable. Natural selection, survival of the fittest; The axiom is only within the range of the cannon. This is indeed the case in today's world, where the law of the jungle eats the strong! ”

"Therefore, my Beiyang Naval Division should also quickly become an army. Even if it can't be used by our Huai system, it should be at the edge of the south. ”

Zhou Fu never felt that Huai Jun was weaker than anyone. Li Hongzhang inherited most of the mantle of Zeng Guofan, the strength of the Huai army, and the number of turf was completely superior to the three lines of Qin and Chu, which were biased towards a corner. Zhou Fu's impression of the Qin army has always been that he can fight, but there are not many of them, and he can be a steel front.

Even now, Zhou Fu also has such thoughts and opinions. He was not worried about the army of the Qin army, but about the sailors of the Qin army. When all the warships of the British and Mawei shipyards are in place, the Nanyang Naval Division will become the strongest fleet in the whole country and in Asia.

Four ironclad ships, six mosquito ships, four iron-ribbed wood-hulled cruisers [two built for Mawei], two wooden cruisers, four wooden-hulled gunboats. The number of 20 warships surpassed that of the shipmaster in one fell swoop, and the tonnage and quality far exceeded that of the shipmaster and sailor, which were mainly wooden warships, and it became the undisputed number one sea force in Asia. Although the largest ironclad ship of the Nanyang Naval Division did not exceed 2,000 tons, the King Kong-class cruiser ordered by the little devil from the British was only 2,200 tons.

In the original history of time and space, after Japan sent troops back to Taiwan, Saigo Shomichi, who served as the Secretary of the Navy in 1875, purchased three warships from Britain in one go, and the names are the same as the names of the three Kongo-class cruisers of the little devil now, all of which are Fuso, Kongo and Hiei, but in addition to the two ships of King Kong Hiei, Fuso is no longer a gadget of more than 2,000 tons, but has become a real second-class ironclad ship of 3,770 tons. This powerful warship directly stimulated the Qing government on the opposite side, and the Beiyang Fleet accelerated the process as a result.

But now, with loans from various countries, Japan is financially more financially better than it was in the original space, and the number of warships that can be ordered has increased from three to six. The three iron-ribbed and wood-hulled cruisers directly wiped out the financial advantage of Yiqiē, and had to share some of the funds of the Fuso, so that the second-class ironclad ship of Fuso disappeared directly from the Japanese Navy's report, and the three ironclad ships were all Kongo-class cruisers.

Both the Qin army and Japan are such large-scale strokes, and Beijing certainly can't sit still. Bohai Bay was broken into by foreign warships, and it was miserable enough. If one day it is hit by the warships of the little devils to Dagukou, the face of the imperial court will be completely lost.

Therefore, the establishment of the Navy Yamen and the listing of the Beiyang Naval Division were several years earlier than in history. These days, while Li Hongzhang is negotiating with Elem, he is already planning to send his cronies to the West to take a walk and take a look in person.

It should be noted that Li Hongzhang is a German fan, or he is a Krupp fan, and he has an absolute good impression and trust in the German Krupp Arsenal, as well as a deep friendship. (To be continued......) R1071
