On Liugong Island in Weihaiwei, Lan Jianshu, the new commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, was resting on Liugong Island. And he received an order from the central government, that is, to supervise the coastal areas of Shandong and avoid the landing of the Taiwan Navy from Shandong. And this order made Lan Jianshu sigh for a while.

"Hey, the court!" Lan Jianshu smiled bitterly.

And Lu Wenjing, a general soldier next to him, said: "What the hell is the court thinking, don't forget to exclude people at this time." Taiwan is already the last savior of the imperial court, and they are still issuing orders that we must prevent Taiwan from landing in Shandong. You must know that although it is impossible for Taiwan to land from Tianjin, which has already been occupied by the navies of various countries, Taiwan will inevitably be hindered in the past. And they landed from our Shandong, that was the best way, so that not only was it close to Tianjin, but it would not take long for the army to go to Tianjin to fight the foreigners. But is this court actually going to cut itself off? ”

"The imperial court, they are still worried that once Taiwan enters the capital, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will be coerced to order the princes. At that time, I am afraid that I will face being overtaken by Taiwan, and then lose the country. In the eyes of the Queen Mother and the clans, although the foreigners are powerful, they can't let them lose the country. However, Taiwan is different, and Taiwan and we are both people of the same culture, so they would rather cede land and pay compensation to foreigners, and it is impossible for Taiwan to come over to support. ”

"Hmph, this kind of mediocre court, what else do we want them to do?" Lu Wenjing said angrily.

But Lan Jianshu immediately said: "After all, the imperial court is the imperial court, and we, as soldiers, should obey orders." The court is very kind to us, so we can't betray the court. ”

Lan Jianshu is very grateful to the imperial court. Because he fought the Battle of the Yellow Sea a few years earlier, although it failed, it was used again after the imperial court returned. And because Qiu Baoren, Ye Zuqi and other veterans of the Beiyang Navy Division betrayed the imperial court and chose to take refuge in Taiwan. And when the Manchu navy had no one to use. also appointed Lan Jianshu, a small character. Later, Lan Jianshu was also very enthusiastic, and he desperately hoped to get the new Beiyang Sailor well. On the one hand, he asked the imperial court for wealth to buy warships, and on the other hand, he also worked hard to stabilize the hearts of the people, so that the hearts of the people in the Beiyang Navy Division were stable.

And he didn't know that the stability of the people's hearts of the Beiyang Navy Division was based on the condition that Taiwan did not dig up the wall on a large scale. If Taiwan opens up full firepower to dig into the wall. Then I'm afraid they will all have to change their minds. Although Taiwan mainly dug up the wall at the beginning, it was also a naval officer trained by itself later. An officer who digs into the foot of the wall must not have a better sense of belonging than a person he has cultivated. Digging up the wall can only be an emergency solution, but if you can choose, it is better to cultivate talents yourself. At that time, in order to form a navy in a hurry, he could only choose to dig into the wall. The disadvantage of not digging the foot of the wall is that they don't have enough sense of belonging, which also caused the situation that Ye Zuqi would actually want to use the navy as a threat to bargain with Wang Guorui at that time. Fortunately, Wang Guorui made a quick decision and ordered this Ye Zuqi to change his career to become the director of the General Administration of Oceanics, which also completely shocked those old people of the Beiyang Naval Division. And the rest of Wang Guorui is competing to be able to cultivate the new generation. It is also because of their low status in the past, they are more likely to develop loyalty, a stronger sense of belonging to the collective, and less likely to betray.

And Lan Jianshu didn't know, he thought that his ability was powerful, and he could be reused by the imperial court. It didn't take long for the imperial court to begin to form a new Beiyang Naval Division, which was not only larger than the original. There are more warships, and even countries are beginning to pay attention to the navy. This makes Lan Jianshu feel that the court's kindness is not small! But in fact, he didn't know that the reason why the Manchu court was like this was because Taiwan had a navy, and if Taiwan's navy was not strong, then they would not think about building a navy. These Beiyang sailors were used to fight the civil war. In order to contain the existence of Taiwan.

Lu Wenjing soon left the scene, and after he left the scene, a smile flashed in his eyes. He came to his room, where he met a man dressed in the clothes of an ordinary sailor. And Lu Wenjing immediately took the initiative to arch his hand to the person wearing ordinary sailor's clothes, if outsiders saw this situation, they would be very shocked. Lu Wenjing is the rank of the chief soldier, at least equivalent to a major general, but it is unbelievable that he would be so polite to a young man.

"Colonel Wu Tianning, that Lan Jianshu still wants to be a loyal minister and lackey of the Manchu court, and he is unwilling to take refuge in Lord Wang!" Lu Wenjing said.

And this Wu Tianning, no one knows that he is the deputy director of the United Front Office under the Taiwan Intelligence Administration. And this united front hall originated from the enemy work office of Taiwan's military and political department at that time. As for this united front hall, it is just for beautification, and it is used by Wang Guorui to beautify the responsibilities of this department. In fact, the duty of this department is also the guidance department responsible for instigating rebellion against the officials of the Manchu government on the mainland through various means, some through bribery, some women, and some even through threats, official inducements, and so on. And this is also the thing that the United Front Department is responsible for, and it is responsible for guiding the mainland's intelligence personnel to do this kind of thing. Of course, this kind of rebellion work cannot be called rebellion and bribery, because it is too direct and may scare people away. And in order to make it sound better and make the heart of the bought feel better, so Wang Guorui also used the statement of the united front in later generations, saying that it is for the purpose of a Chinese to become rich and strong, so to have a united front, everyone is "comrade"!

Of course, this is just a nice thing to say, but it works well. Because it is not directly said what is instigated against something, etc., and this also represents a change from a red Guoguo's identity of bribery, betrayal, mole, etc., to a person who fights together on a united front for the country and the nation. Of course, they are also seeking some personal interests for themselves while "making the country strong", shouldn't that? With this good name, many people are also willing to join the subordinates of this "united front hall" and then serve Taiwan.

"In this way, since Lan Jianshu does not agree to cooperate with us in Taiwan, then we can only choose another person who is willing to cooperate with us." Wu Tianning said.

And that Lu Wenjing licked his face, obviously hoping that Wu Tianning would choose him. And Wu Tianning also said before that as long as he is willing to cooperate with Taiwan, he will definitely be promoted next. What's more, everyone in this Manchu court knew that it was a broken ship, and everyone knew that it would sink. Sometimes, that's what happens when a ship is about to sink, and the people on the ship often don't want to repair the broken ship together so that the broken ship can be stable, but hope to be able to jump ship to escape, or even be able to go to another ship to do things. If you need to, you can even knock the broken ship in reverse to make it sink faster.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was a broken ship, and everyone knew that the Manchu Dynasty was not feasible. And this Lu Wenjing also knows it, so that Wu Tianning found him, and he also hopes that he can cooperate with Taiwan and sell the Beiyang Navy Division at a good price. However, Wu Tianning first hoped to cooperate with Lan Jianshu, and then let him lead the Beiyang Navy Division to submit to Taiwan. But Lan Jianshu always refused, and then Wu Tianning almost left helplessly. But at this time, Lu Wenjing took the initiative to come to the door and chose to cooperate with Taiwan. In this way, with the help of Lu Wenjing, Wu Tianning changed into the clothes of ordinary sailors, and then lived in the Beiyang Naval Division, and rebelled against these middle and senior officers of the Beiyang Naval Division at any time.

"Colonel Wu Tianning, I think we can meet the Taiwanese army, and then let them land in Weihaiwei, so that we can go all the way to Shandong, and then we can go to support Tianjin. Such a road is relatively close, and Dou E can avoid the attack and blockade of the foreigners' sailors. Now the fleet of foreigners is concentrated in Tianjin, although the Taiwan army is strong, but it is not suitable to touch that mold, so landing from Weihaiwei of our Beiyang Naval Division is the best choice. At that time, Weihaiwei of our Beiyang Naval Division could land for you at any time. In this way, not only are we all in the navy, we are very familiar with the maintenance and mooring of warships, and we also have a military port in Weihaiwei, so that you can live together in peace and quietly, and you don't have to worry about sleeping on the ship. Lu Wenjing said.

Wu Tianning immediately said; "How sure are you that we will be able to control this Weihaiwei by then? Can you guarantee that the soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division are willing to follow us? ”

"I'm more than ninety percent sure, because the soldiers don't want to fight anymore, and everyone is tired of their own people's civil wars. They don't want us to fight with ourselves, they want to be able to stand out from the country, and they want to be able to go to the Japanese who can be treated to fight once. However, the imperial court was afraid of the Japanese like a tiger, and this time the foreigners came to invade Tianjin, and many of our soldiers also asked for orders to fight. But the imperial court didn't allow it, and they still let us guard against Lord Wang in Taiwan. This makes us very angry, so we all hope to be able to attack foreign devils, and we don't want to fight a civil war with Taiwan! If they knew that we were going to fight foreign devils with Taiwan, then our officers and men would be very happy. Lu Wenjing said.

Wu Tianning also immediately said: "Our Lord Wang said that our civil war can still be avoided or thin, and the Chinese do not fight the Chinese!" ”

Lu Wenjing also immediately said: "That's right, we Chinese don't fight Chinese!" (To be continued......)
