In an instant, an indescribable emotion, sour and warm, welled up from the bottom of my heart. The voices of the officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division passing on the passwords in English vaguely echoed in their ears.

It was an unusually desolate and distant feeling. What you touch seems to be the soul of the Dingyuan warship that has been enclosed in it for hundreds of years.

Of course, we knew that it was perhaps the afterglow of the afternoon sun that made the hundred-year-old remains seem to have a sense of life, and a text suddenly passed through my mind......

The people crossed the Wailing Wall with sè, and the Huns crossed the Qilian Mountain.

There is nothing to cry about. - Sassou

=========== dividing line ============

Early in the morning, Xiyuan Temple quietly went to the negotiation place booked by the liaison with his secretary. There, negotiators sent by the Wehrmacht would arrive.

The two sides will then negotiate an end to the war. Saionji knew that although the Wehrmacht had a lot of chips in their hands, they would still want to end the war as soon as possible.

Domestic construction and stability in Southeast Asia are extremely important to them. As long as the conditions are right, it is not impossible to stop the war against Rìmoto.

"Hahaha...... The name of the prime minister of Xiyuan Temple has been admired for a long time! Today, you can see it, and it really lives up to its name! Thankfully! What a blessing! Hahaha......"

Seeing Xiyuan Temple coming, Yang Yuting greeted him with a big smile. The name of Xiyuan Temple, Yang Yuting, is naturally admired for a long time, which is true, but it is a little bad to laugh so hard.

"The name of Mr. Neighbor Ge has been admired for a long time. It's also an honor to see it today, and it's also ......" Xiyuan Temple bowed deeply to Yang Yuting, and said softly: "How dare the general of the defeated army speak bravely?!" Please don't make fun of Mr. Neighbor Ge again......"

"Mr. Saionji is modest, you are the political patriarch of your country! Back in the Meiji period, you were already the prime minister of the empire. It's been decades, no matter how old or senior, how can you compare to you......"

Yang Yuting looked at Xiyuan Temple. Sincerely: "This is a junior, respect for seniors ......"

Xiyuan Temple bowed deeply again, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while before getting to the point. In this negotiation, Xiyuan Temple was extremely well prepared before coming over.

And Hirohito's minimum requirements for Saionji. It was the Wehrmacht who had to ensure the status of the royal family in the country. And the rest is negotiable.

The condition that Xiyuan Temple set for itself was to preserve the army as much as possible. Even becoming a vassal state again is acceptable, and the war reparations can be as small as they can be.

The land should be kept as intact as possible. If not, at least the territorial integrity of the native land must be maintained. As for the outer islands, if you can't keep it, you can hand it over.

It's a pity that Xiyuan Temple didn't know that Yang Yuting and the joint zhèngfǔ had such a big appetite. At this point, the two sides are already irreconcilable......

"This is a gift from Rì himself?!" Chen Shaokuan frowned. Looking at the big boxes one by one, he asked, "What is inside, have you checked it?!" ”

"After inspection, it contained a pile of steel plates and wooden wheels. But what exactly. We can't see it. "The commander of the Marine Corps, who sent something, was also puzzled.

"We checked it several times. No dangerous items were found. But I always felt that these steel plates and wooden wheels sent by Rì himself were weird......"

After saying this, the head of the regiment turned his head and found that Chen Shaokuan was trembling all over. He glanced at the commander of the Combined Naval Fleet suspiciously, not quite understanding why he was so excited.

saw Chen Shaokuan trying to step forward, but was thought to be dangerous by his adjutant and wanted to be stopped. But the adjutant was thrown away by Chen Shaokuan!

Chen Shaokuan suddenly rushed to an open box, grabbed a huge wooden wheel, and tears appeared in his eyes......

"Oh my God...... This is...... It's ......"

"These are the wreckage of the Dingyuan ship of the Beiyang Naval Division...... I don't know when, the elderly Sa Zhenbing came to the scene. He looked at these Mu Lun and said in a trembling voice: "This is the steering wheel of the Dingyuan, the invincible warship that my Beiyang Naval Division once dominated Asia, and the largest ship in East Asia!" ”

The Marine Corps commander who had brought the boxes over was stunned for a moment. Then he roared: "Bring the rì himself who sent these things to Lao Tzu!" Fast!! ”

Hearing that these were the wreckage of the Dingyuan battleship of the Beiyang Naval Division, all the naval soldiers who received the gifts in the port were all excited.

Countless men had red eyes, and with the three or two strokes of those marines and the soldiers of the Marine Corps, they escorted the entourage who had given the gift to Sa Zhenbing.

These men of the navy had blue faces and red eyes. As long as these rì themselves don't deal with a word, they can directly cut these rì themselves with a knife in their hands!

"Say!! If you don't tell me why you come today, I'll pick your skin here!! The regimental commander roared, looking at his extremely hideous face, and the legs of the priest who had given him a gift were weak......

"This ...... This is the wreckage of the Dingyuan of the Beiyang Naval Division, and part of the wreckage was salvaged by our navy after the Dingyuan self-destruction. A year later, these wrecks were bought by Ryusuke Ono and built the Joenkan......"

The priest was directly frightened and cried, and said to Sa Zhenbing and the others with a sobbing voice: "I am the priest of the Tenmangu Shrine, Mizhi Maya, this matter is none of our business!" Your Excellency Prime Minister is just asking us to explain where these things come from......"

"Then you can explain it well, just explain it clearly......" Sa Zhenbing had gradually recovered his jīng god at this time, and said coldly to this rì god official: "Speak clearly, and you will be fine." I can't tell......"

"We are from the Fukuoka Joenkan, and these are the building materials that His Excellency the Prime Minister of Saionji Temple ordered us to dismantle......" said the priest Mieda, with a crying voice.

Legend has it that these were the wreckage of the battleship Dingyuan of the Hokuyang Naval Division, which was purchased by Mr. Ryusuke Ono a year after the war and built the Dingyuan Pavilion. But there is no one living in Dingyuan Hall because it will be haunted......"

Sa Zhenbing trembled at this time, and pointed his finger at these boxes and said tremblingly: "Dismantle...... Take apart! Take it all apart!! ”

One by one, the boxes were quickly disassembled. But I saw that these boxes and canvases were full of logs and large steel plates.

"Oh my God...... It's really my long number!! Sa Zhenbing walked up to the broken wooden blocks and horizontal bars, touched the bullet marks on them, and cried bitterly......

All the naval soldiers in the harbor couldn't help but shed tears when they looked at the once glorious first battleship in East Asia and the wreckage of the battleship that was once stained with the blood of their ancestors......

Dingyuan ship. and its sister ship Zhenyuan, an improved Saxony-class armored ship built by Germany, is also the most combat-effective warship of the Beiyang Naval Division.

The navy was very jealous of these two warships, and even promoted the game of sinking Dingyuan and Zhenyuan among children. The Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships fought to the death as the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division in the Battle of Dadonggou.

Despite the heavy losses of the Beiyang Fleet in this battle. However, the Rì army was never able to help the two ironclad ships Dingyuan and Zhenyuan. Commander of the British Far East Fleet, who was watching the battle from the nearby sea, commented: "If you can't completely sweep away the Chinese army, you should have two towering ironclad ships."

In the melee, the 305-mm heavy guns of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan hit Matsushima, the flagship of the Rì Army, one after another, causing heavy damage. The fleet had to be the first to withdraw from the battlefield.

However, the heroic battle of the Dingyuan could not save the whole battle. On February 4, 1895, the Dingyuan ship was seriously injured and ran aground in Weihaiwei by a Torpedo Boat of the Rì Army. Soon, the Beiyang Naval Division was defeated. The Dingyuan ship took Liu Buchan to commit suicide, and the stranded Dingyuan ship was blown up under the command of the enemy to avoid it......

"This is bulkhead armor......" Sa Zhenbing stroked the steel plate with huge hideous bullet holes left behind, and burst into tears: "This is the ship's sampan oars." This is the bulkhead panels of the ship. This is the crossbow of the Dingyuan ship......"

Sa Zhenbing was even able to tell which part of the Dingyuan ship they once belonged to, stroking the same materials. He could even tell where they were and name them.

Suddenly, Sa Zhenbing's words stopped. He looked at a huge wooden lun in a daze, and the upper ring of the wooden lun was engraved with the words "Pengcheng Wanli from the peace of the Qing ** ship Dingyuan servo".

"you, little rì this eight-generation ancestor!! Who carved the words on this?! Sa Zhenbing roared suddenly, his fingers tremblingly pointed at the wooden wheel and roared: "This is the center of my Dingyuan steering wheel!" Who would dare to engrave on it?! Who can engrave on it?! ”

A group of people suddenly turned their heads and glared at Sanzhi, and when they saw that the priest suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and cried, "I didn't carve it!" This word has been engraved a long time ago. Legend has it that the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet of the Rìben in the Qing War, Ito Yuhiro, said that the take-off of the Rìben Navy began with the victory over the Beiyang Naval Division......"

A group of naval soldiers couldn't help but be furious when they heard this, and several angry naval soldiers didn't know where to find the knife to shovel out the inscriptions.

"Don't shovel it! Keep it! Suddenly, Sa Zhenbing, whose face was full of tears, let out a low roar. When those angry naval soldiers heard this, they put away their knives with hatred and stood aside with a blushing face.

"Keep it! I want it to show our navy, and jǐng to show us the Chinese nation! What humiliation we suffered when we were weak! Sa Zhenbing's eyes were red, and he roared in a low voice: "These words are not allowed to be eradicated, they must be kept!" Protect it and put it right at the door of the Naval Academy!! ”

"Set up a sign for me under this wheel, and everyone will enter the Naval Academy

The Navy must read it to me! I'm going to engrave a word in their hearts! But seeing Sa Zhenbing paused, he roared loudly: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten!" ”

Several military doctors saw that Sa Zhenbing was so excited, and they couldn't help but walk to him worriedly and try to calm his emotions down. Eighty-year-olds, they can't afford to be in the middle of what happens.

Seeing this, Sa Zhenbing shook his head, pointed at Sanzhi and said, "You! Come here, you just said our battleship is haunted?! Tell me, what the hell is going on?! ”

Sanzhi was searched as fast as possible by the man who came out of the mountain guard dog who didn't know where to go, and then he was pushed in front of Sa Zhenbing. Sanzhi is about to pee his pants now, and in fact, he has already shed a lot of tears.

The men around him looked at him like wolves. Saneda had no doubt that if he did anything wrong, he would be torn to shreds by them immediately.

"I also heard that after the completion of the Dingyuan Pavilion, some people went to stay there, but in the middle of the night, they vaguely saw people walking around, all wearing Chinese sailor uniforms......

"There was a thief who went to Dingyuan Hall to steal something, but he heard a very majestic voice shouting 'シュェ', and the thief frightened himself to the jǐng bureau and turned himself in. Later, some people said that it was the voice of "who" of the people of southern China......"

"Someone drank alcohol and stayed overnight. When he woke up, he found himself leaning against the iron door of the villa, and for three days after that, he couldn't lift his waist, as if he had been flogged. Some people say that not only can you drink alcohol, but you can't enter the Dingyuan Pavilion. It's not okay to dress neatly, because Dingyuan was originally a warship, and military regulations don't allow drinking or untidy clothing. In case of violation. It's going to hurt your back and legs......"

Hearing these words, Sa Zhenbing suddenly burst into tears. He knows, he knows. These are the immortal spirits. The officers and men of the Dingyuan ship who were wounded and killed fell on these materials.

They are all warriors who fought to the death with the enemy to the end, how can the rear body of such a warlike Dingyuan ship not have those heroic spirits who can't return home but are still alive?!

Maybe it's already doomed. He, an old man who used to be in Beiyang, lived to bring these heroic spirits home. Use your own warship to completely defeat the Rì navy that once succeeded in sneak attack!

Then, welcome these heroic spirits who have never been wiped out in a foreign land back to their homeland!!

"After Ryusuke Ono's death. His descendants set up a spiritual seat in Dingyuan Pavilion. They said, 'For those who are enemies in spite of it.' But as long as you don't die in the belly of the fish, you will not stop firing cannons, and pray for the blessings of the loyal and brave officers and soldiers of the country'......"

"But the Dingyuan Pavilion is still haunted, and there is no way to live in it at all. So, they handed over the Dingyuan Pavilion to our Tenmangu Shrine......"

Sanzhi's words were finished, but Sa Zhenbing, an old man with gorgeous hair, hugged his head and cried on the chair. Sobbs were everywhere in the harbor......

"Let Chengzhang clean up Weihaiwei's Liugong Island, and we will welcome these heroic spirits home now!!" Sa Zhenbing stood up abruptly and roared, "Let the Air Force send paper money." Send incense candles! I want to sacrifice these comrades-in-arms, I ...... Take them with you and go home! ”

"Yes!!" Chen Shaokuan's eyes were full of tears, and he stood up and answered loudly.

The news that the wreckage of the Dingyuan had been returned by Rì himself immediately spread throughout the Wehrmacht. Tu Mengben personally ordered the remains to be returned with the captured aircraft carriers of the Rì Army and the Wehrmacht's own aircraft carriers, along with the captured Rì warships.

At the same time, all the navy was ordered to wear formal uniforms and send a telegram to the joint zhèngfǔ to draw up a memorial to welcome the return of the Yuan.

The news soon spread throughout China through newspapers and radio. Countless people burst into tears, and they thought of the naval soldiers who fought the sea and did not take a step back.

They are living in a foreign land, and it used to be a pain that every Chinese did not dare to mention. Now, they're coming back. They are going to be welcomed back by the glorious Chinese Navy!

Everyone was excited, and countless people flocked to Weihai. In order to be able to personally greet the former heroic soul and return to the motherland.

Lin Sen, Chairman of the China United Zhèngfǔ Minister, Yan Zhengqing, Prime Minister of the China United Zhèngfǔ, all provinces, autonomous regions, North Korea, Thailand, Myanmar, and Malay...... and other countries and regions where the Wehrmacht has a strong influence in the country, and all sent Chinese representatives to welcome back the heroes.

Even the Soviet Union, Britain, and the United States, which were fighting fiercely, sent their own representatives to attend the ceremony. The Baiyun Temple drew up a memorial for this purpose, and hundreds of Taoists and Buddhists rushed to Weihai.

No progress has been made in the negotiations, but the gift from Xiyuan Temple has already caused a great sensation. The wreckage of the Dingyuan, the steering wheel of the Dingyuan that was sent to the Yasukuni Shrine, and the steering wheel that was given away were all recovered.

There were also those who were seriously wounded and captured, and finally died in the remains of the former Beiyang Naval Division. They were all sent to the front of the National Defense and the Formation by the Navy, and after being received by the Navy, they were carefully placed and arranged to be returned to the country.

After Tu Mengben arranged everything, he chose to go to the Beiyang Naval Memorial Hall on Liugong Island in person to welcome back these heroic spirits who had been exiled with Lin Sen and others......

On April 30, 1942, Liugong Island was solemn. The huge battleship slowly revealed its hideous bow on the sea.

The crowd greeted the rising sun and watched these warships slowly lean towards Liugong Island. As the fleet approached, people saw a special large ship in the zhōngyāng area of the fleet.

The big ship was painted all white, and a huge banner was hung on the ship. The banner with white characters on a black background reads: The heroic spirit of the Beiyang Navy Division returns!

"Here we are...... It's finally back...... It's finally back......" On Liugong Island, countless people cried bitterly. The old people can't forget how the sailors who made them proud of them fell back then.

They could not forget the roar of those proud and unyielding warriors under artillery fire. These days, they weep bitterly as they look at the news in the newspapers about the Heroic Spirits.

At this moment, these heroic spirits were finally returned......

The fleet slowly stopped outside the harbor, and only the big white ship slowly approached the shore.

"Fire!!" The military band leader stepped out, drew his saber and roared. Then the rumbling of artillery rang out on the shore. And monks and Taoists dressed in Taoist robes and monks' robes came out in two rows on the shore.

At this time, the big ship slowly opened the foredeck. A group of soldiers dressed in military uniforms, holding ashes altars in their hands, and slowly stepped out of the big boat under the cover of the solemn faces of the soldiers holding black umbrellas beside them.

They walked between the monks and the Taoist masters, their faces expressionless. Behind them were groups of warriors carrying the timbers and decks.

They were also dressed in military uniforms, but they carried beams on their shoulders. The ropes of the horizontal timber are tied to the pieces of wood and steel plates. And most importantly, the steering wheel.

"Woohoo ~ I have returned from the heroic spirit......" When the soldiers walked to the port and lined up. Yan Zhengqing slowly walked out and stood on the altar. In his deep voice, he read the prayer.

At this time, the originally clear sky suddenly thundered. Immediately, a drizzle began. In the memorial text, people's tears and rain are mixed together, but they can't be distinguished......

ps: I'm not very satisfied with the writing, but Xiao Chao changed it for a long time and felt that this might be the best way he could write. I want to express something, but my heart is panicked...... In vain......
