Kong Mei saw that Li Yunzhong also showed a look of anticipation, smiled slightly, and slowly put the piano on the table in the center of the pavilion, the delicate black long hair, draped over her shoulders, slightly soft, the jade hand brushed the loose long hair, showing a different style, which made people love and pity for the new life, the white skin was like a freshly peeled egg, the big eyes flashed with a smile, as if they could speak, the plump red lips and the white of the skin were more distinct, a pair of small dimples were evenly distributed on both sides of the cheeks, a shallow smile, the dimples loomed on the cheeks, Beautiful as a fairy.

The jade hand lightly picked the silver strings, and the hands plucked on the guqin, and the sound of heaven came out with the beating of the strings, and Li Yun and others gradually indulged in it, and their souls drifted with the sound of the qin.

The beauty smiled and sang softly:

Yiren Ruoliu Yingqianqian

The jade hand caresses the piano for a long time

Acacia flies over several mountains

Winter goes to spring, flowers bloom

Yan Fei is both in the north

The eyebrows and geese asked about acquaintance

There can be a brocade book in the clouds

The sound of the piano dissipated, Li Yunzhong came back to the future for a long time, looked at Kong Mei with wide eyes and waited for the evaluation in amazement, and praised sincerely: "The piano sound is beautiful, the voice is sweet, I ask myself to be well-informed, and I have read countless women, you are the most special one, that is, two hundred years later, you can also stand out among the thousands of flowers." ”

Luo Meiwei's smart eyes turned around, glanced at Li Yunzhong, and said meaningfully: "If you can hear my sister play every day, it will be in vain." ”

Kong Mei plucked a few strings at will, bowed her head and sighed: "What a woman cares about most is not whether others evaluate her playing well, as long as the person she likes praises a few words, she will be satisfied." In the past, the concubine played for the guests in the Lichun Temple, no matter what. They will all applaud loudly, and the concubine has long been tired of it. ”

Li Yunzhong showed a sad look every time he saw Kong Mei. They were all worried and comforted: "From now on, don't force yourself, live the life you want to live, and don't think about those unpleasant things anymore." ”

Tang Liang walked lightly to Li Yunzhong's side and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time to go back to the palace." ”

Luo Meiwei smiled and said: "It's not early, our sisters still have to rest, so let's go back first." ”

Li Yunzhong got up. Said to the reluctant women: "Since you all have to leave Nanjing, I will send someone to escort Miss Kong's residence in Shanghai, I have sent someone to clean up in advance, and in a few days, I will go to Shanghai, hoping that Miss Kong will play a song for Li again." ”

Luo Meiwei sent Li Yunzhong to the door of the hotel, showed a sad look, and said, "Your Majesty." You...... I, if Wei'er returns to Nanyang, will the emperor not want Wei'er? ”

Li Yunzhong pinched her face and comforted: "How could it be." When you come back from Nanyang, I will officially accept you as a concubine, as well as Yan'er. ”

Luo Meiwei put her mind at ease. nodded violently and said with a smile: "Wei'er must deal with the affairs of Nanyang as soon as possible." Come back as soon as possible to accompany the emperor. ”

Li Yunzhong, who returned to the palace, immediately summoned Ling Shibai and Zhang Suimou. Zhang Laoqi and others.

"I have summoned a few people here today to discuss the affairs of Nanyang."

Ling 18 showed a puzzled look and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen has lived in Guangdong since he was a child, and there are often things in his hometown that abandon his family and flee to Nanyang, as far as Weichen knows, it is far beyond the sea, and the foreigners and natives are quite hostile to us, although it is rich in gold, but in the final analysis, it is still a barbarian land, and it is really worth the loss to waste the national strength there." ”

Li Yunzhong saw that several people showed a look of approval, got up and came to the map of the world, pointed to the location of the Nanyang and said: "The Nanyang we are talking about is probably in this range, there are many islands here, rich in resources, the Han navy is getting stronger and stronger, everyone can see it, and the foreigners are insatiable, in my opinion, the Han and the foreigners will have a war sooner or later, in order to avoid losses, it is best to resist the enemy outside the country, the foreigners come from the sea expedition, this Nanyang is a must pass through, if the Han navy is here to fight, the foreigners lack supplies, What are the odds of winning in a hurry? As long as a few of his warships are annihilated in an organized manner, the foreigners will not see the hope of victory, and in order to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, they will definitely sue for peace and strike the war. ”

Ling Eighteen, Lin Daji, Zhang Suimou and others looked at each other, they didn't understand the strategy and tactics that the emperor said, and looked at the emperor suspiciously.

Li Yunzhong was speechless, how can this level fight with foreigners, and the establishment of a naval academy as soon as possible is the key.

"Look here, China's coastline stretches from Qinzhou in Guangdong Province to the northeast, with Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Hangzhou Bay, Shanghai, Nanjing, Lianyungang, Qingdao, Tianjin, and Dalian in between.

Tang Zhengcai nodded and said with a smile: "Hearing what the emperor said, Weichen realized that the Lu Dao Navy has a great responsibility, and this war with foreigners will not be used at all, but it is a pity." ”

Zhang Suimou kept a straight face and did not speak, listening to the emperor's meaning, it is indeed to use the navy to fight with foreigners, the army can never go to the sea to fight, looking at the usefulness of the navy that he looked down on before, Zhang Suimou began to worry about the supremacy of the army, this navy to build a warship, enough for the army to raise a regiment, the cost of building a fleet, the army can form a group army.

Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "Everyone must look forward, the war in the future will be a war of integration of the sea, land and air, and now there will be an army and navy, and the air force will appear in a few years." ”

Lin Daji exclaimed: "The air force that the emperor said is an army flying in the sky? ”

Li Yunzhong felt that it was necessary to give them a preventive shot to broaden their horizons, so he patiently explained: "Air Force, our Dahan Arsenal is researching, and is currently testing it, the model is an airship, on which the spies can observe the terrain, summarize the enemy's number and defense status, and can also ignite explosives from above and throw them on the ground, in short, there are many tricks." ”

Zhang Suimou sighed: "Attacking the city with airships must be unbreakable, the city wall can only defend against people on the ground, who can imagine the enemy in the sky, wonderful!" Wonderful! ”

The goal has been achieved, and Li Yunzhong returned to the topic: "Now everyone has an understanding of the necessity of capturing Nanyang. ”

Tang Zhengcai echoed: "The emperor is wise, Nanyang is the barrier of the Han Dynasty, and it will only become more and more important in the future, and our Han Dynasty should speed up the construction of the navy. ”

Zhang Suimou immediately retorted: "Nonsense, the navy still needs to set up an academy? How to teach how to fish, or how to swim, doesn't the navy just shoot guns on ships, such a simple thing still needs to be learned? ”

Li Yunzhong waved his hand, asked Zhang Suimou to stop his mouth, and explained: "General Tang's suggestion is very timely, and the Naval Academy should be established, we can't be conservative, we must forge ahead, what can foreigners fight thousands of miles away, it's not because the Navy is advanced, the matter of the Naval Academy will be handed over to the Ministry of the Navy to be responsible for preparation, and I will inform the Ministry of Household to approve 300,000 taels of silver for you." ”

Ling 18 and Tang Zhengcai hurriedly received their orders.

Li Yunzhong caught a glimpse of Zhang Suimou's sullen appearance, and comforted: "The navy is the first line of defense of our Han Dynasty, and the army is the last line of defense, so the army is the top priority, and we can't relax just because the navy is in the limelight!" ”

Zhang Suimou and Lin Daji were awe-inspiring, and they didn't even dare to shout.

Li Yun confessed later: "I have decided to send a fleet to visit the South Seas tomorrow." ”

Tang Zhengcai bowed down and asked for his life: "Weichen is willing to go to investigate the terrain, draw a map, and prepare for my Han attack on Nanyang." ”

Li Yunzhong nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I will order you to lead thirty warships and five thousand personnel to visit Nanyang, and before that, go to Guangdong to eliminate the Qing army's naval division." ”

"Wechen takes orders."

Kong Mei's daughters have been gone for half a month, Li Yunzhong's sad mood has gradually improved under the adjustment of several wives, in order to get rid of the thoughts of his girlfriend in his previous life, bury himself in state affairs, today is the day to inspect the arsenal.

Li Yunzhong visited the firearms manufacturing area under the leadership of the general manager Midile, and watched the skilled operation of the procedures in the hands of the workers, and the parts were completed in their flexible movements, Li Yunzhong nodded from time to time.

Pointing to the mobile tool holder on the lathe, Midil explained: "Your Majesty, the mobile tool holder can be convenient, fast and accurate to process parts of various shapes such as straight lines and planes, which I think is the greatest invention in the history of firearms, and the most important thing is that our arsenal can produce these lathes, and there are many milling machines driven by steam engines. ”

Although Li Yunzhong does not understand the metallurgical industry, he can also see how much role these machines play in the production of guns, no matter how skilled the workers are, they can't be compared with the machines, looking at the boxes of yellow, orange and orange bullets, Li Yunzhong bent down and grabbed a handful, and slowly put it into the box, the familiar texture made him excited.

Midile was proud and mysterious at the same time, and whispered: "Your Majesty, you are really a genius, in Europe, the shell of this bullet uses paper shells, but Your Majesty advocates the use of metal, which not only solves the problem of gunpowder sealing, prolongs the use time, but also increases the rate of fire of the rifle, this method is ahead of Europe, it is the whole world!" ”

Li Yunzhong took a bullet, sniffed it, and asked Midile, "The smokeless gunpowder I asked you to make has not succeeded?" That's not going to work, I'm going to apply for a patent in Europe! ”

Midile looked around in a ghostly manner, until he was sure that Wu Chang was paying attention to this side before he breathed a sigh of relief, and complained: "Your Majesty, this is a secret, equivalent to a treasure, this gunpowder technique is revolutionary, I promise, once the stable smokeless gunpowder is invented, it will cause a sensation, and then spread all over the world, this patent fee is like a treasure mountain." ”

Looking at Midile, who was caught in a fantasy, Li Yunzhong kicked him angrily, and said angrily: "So you haven't made it yet?" No matter how good it is, you have to invent it! (To be continued......)
