Chapter 19: Helpless Choice
"Plop ......" As the two sturdy iron anchors crashed into the water, the huge black steel chain made a heart-palpitating "Grala" sound, and it was straightened in less than ten seconds; The battleship's massive steel body shook violently, slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally came to a steady stop in its berth. The docks are crowded with people, and as far as the eye can see, there are mites of white caps and pigtails of pigs.
Although Weihaiwei was only one stop on the journey of Qingying's group, in order to show how familiar they were with the Germans and to deter the Japanese, Mites Qing still greeted them with great courtesy. They not only sent Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, the two most powerful ironclad ships in the Beiyang Naval Division, out of the port to welcome them, but Ding Ruchang, the commander of the Naval Division, also came to the scene in person. At the welcome ceremony, these Beiyang officials, who could only be seen in photos, are now close at hand: the thin-faced old admiral Ding Ruchang, the sturdy Dingyuan pipe belt Liu Buchan, and the white-faced and beardless Zhenyuan pipe belt Lin Taizeng...... and so on, all of them made Qingying feel happy from the bottom of her heart. The only thing that has some small regrets is that the loyal and heroic Duke Deng is not in this crowd.
After some polite greetings, Ding Ruchang and other officers of the Beiyang Naval Division boarded the battleship "Brandenburg" for a visit, while Qingying was separated from everyone and taken by the envoy to his place of stay.
4 days later, it is the 23rd birthday of the little emperor Guangxu of the mite Qing Dynasty, because of his cheap status, he will have to rush from Weihaiwei to Beijing to participate in the birthday ceremony of the mite Qing emperor! Thinking that he was going to bow in front of Emperor Mites Qing to congratulate and offer gifts, Qing Ying's excitement and excitement because of stepping on his homeland was half cold. The sins committed by the Mite Qing against Huaxia are not enough to wash the water of the sea, and it is difficult to write about the bamboo in the South Mountain: as early as the time of entering the customs, the Mite Qing slaughtered millions of unarmed Han people in the south of the Yangtze River; Later, a shaving order was issued, forcing the Han people to shave the hair of their parents like mites and barbarians, leaving only a twisted pigtail on the back of the head that was uglier than a pig's tail.
In addition to the cruel physical and mental torture of the Han people, the mite Qing is also flourishing, especially in the so-called "Emperor of the Ages" in the mouth of a mite relic, "Kangqian Prosperous Era", ** is the peak, and the mite Qing ruler has developed to the peak. Shun Bald Zixing **7 times, Kang Mazi Xing** 12 times, and Qiandwarf was even more frenzied 130 times**, creating an unprecedented miracle that was more than double the sum of "**" in Chinese history. This kind of cultural authoritarian policy has caused social terror, which has imprisoned the mind, destroyed talents, and seriously hindered the development and progress of Chinese society. In the end, in order to be able to continue to be powerful and prosperous on the land of China, Mi Qing even put forward such remarks as "measuring China's material resources and forming a friendship with the country" and "I'd rather give friends to domestic slaves", which almost dragged China into the abyss of no return.
From the perspective of national feelings, Qing Ying wanted to find a powerful force to expel the mites and return the land of China to the rule of the Han people; But Qing Ying had to admit that in the current China, letting Mites continue to rule was the most helpless choice.
To replace the potential of mite clearing, it must be an elite team with the talent to govern the country and secure the country; In addition, this force must also have a strong military force to back up its own governance. If you just look at these two points, Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Group is obviously the best choice. It's a pity that Li Hongzhang, like his mentor Zeng Guofan, has long been deeply rooted in his mind; Although he has a huge force that is enough to change the dynasty and restore the rivers and mountains of the Han people, Li Hongzhang only wants to be a pasteur and be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and has never considered the rebellion of creating mites.
Removing this guy who has more than enough strength but not enough heart, only his successor Yuan Datou is left. Although Yuan Datou is not talented, his ambition is too great, and he is even more capricious; Between national interests and individual power, there will be no hesitation in choosing the latter. In the early stage, he relied on betraying the six gentlemen of Wuxu to ascend to the throne, and in his later years, in order to have supreme power, he even did not hesitate to sign the "Twenty-one Articles" with Japan in exchange for Japan's support for him as emperor. It is also difficult to entrust such a person with a heavy responsibility. Except for these two people, the others are either unarmed, mediocre, or young people who are not familiar with the world, and they are unable to take the helm of this country at this stage. Although Qingying hated Mites Qing very much, for the sake of this homeland that belonged to China, he still had to help Mites Qing!
While he was thinking, he had reached his destination. Green grass, snow trees and red flowers, a two-story small building stands quietly in the autumn leaves of the sycamore, showing fresh and elegant, quiet and ethereal. Ahead, an artificial river crosses a graceful arc and encircles the two-story building. The stone bridge flies to the arch, the flowing water tinkles, the insects chirp pleasantly, and the frogs leap happily.
Beiyang said in German: "This is where Your Excellency stays, and there is no more suitable place to live in the entire Weihai Acropolis." He pointed to another house not far to the right, and continued, "As for the two masters, please stay in the side room next to them, and if you need to be summoned, you can arrive in time as soon as possible." ”
Although the pronunciation of the induction is inaccurate and the wording is a little puzzling, in combination with the context, Qingying also understands the meaning of the induction. The formal suit in the undershirt stood in the sun for a morning, Qingying was already sweating from the heat, her mouth was dry, and she just wanted to take a good shower and rest. He glanced back at the two bodyguards sent by Wilhelm II, and after receiving their affirmative answers, he got up and walked towards the house in front of him.
Pushing open the door and walking into the house, a faint cool air came suddenly, as if standing under a waterfall, and immediately dispelled the hot feeling on Qingying's body. In the spacious and bright main hall, there is a carved purple stove, round stools and square tables; There is also a landscape painting scroll hanging on the wall, splashing ink and waving, the connotation is far-reaching, and you can know that the road is made by a famous artist at a glance. Seeing this scene, Qingying nodded with satisfaction, and was about to praise a few words, when she suddenly found that there was no one else in this two-story building except herself! This house is not big, it is not small, I am not familiar with my life, if I want to let myself find a bedroom, bathroom and various living items, wouldn't I want to make people crazy?
Just as he was angry, there was a sudden sound of Xixi Suo Suo in the room next to him, Qingying felt a pang in his heart, and said, "Who is it?" The sound was superimposed on the echoes in the room, making it even more neutral.
