Night!

I am a master of the Qing Dynasty;

Inside the Governor's Palace.

I drank cup after cup of tea from Su Yibo, the crown prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, the scholar of the Wenhua Palace, the minister of Beiyang trade, and the governor of Zhili.

"Youqiao, the sailor's side...... No news yet? ”

"Yu Dong Weng, there is still no news from the water master." It was Zhang Peilun who replied.

Zhang Peilun, the word Youqiao, the word rope hermitage, and the word 篑zhai, is Li Hongzhang's son-in-law, and his granddaughter is Zhang Ailing, a talented woman of the Republic of China.

Although Zhang Peilun is Li Hongzhang's son-in-law, Zhang Peilun did not have a trace of transgression, and still replied as a staff member.

"It's been three days, there has to be some news about life or death, what do the people of the Eagle Country say? Aren't they watching the battle? ”

"The information from the people of the Eagle Kingdom is a bit unbelievable, saying that when our Beiyang Naval Division and the Japanese Kingdom were jointly fighting, there was a heavenly fire that fell from the sky, hitting and sinking the Japanese ships Yoshino, Hiei, Hashitachi and other ships, and then our Beiyang Naval Division and the Japanese Combined Fleet disappeared...... Zhang Peilun said carefully.

"Skyfire? It's ridiculous, isn't it the ghost of the Eagle Country? Li Hongzhang said angrily.

"Probably not, Dong Weng remembers a few months ago, the Eagle Army and the fleets of the Taixi countries in the Far East went straight to Guangdong?"

"Well...... Do you mean the destruction of the Far East Fleet of the Eagle Kingdom and other Taixi countries? Li Hongzhang nodded.

It is said that the forces of the Eagle Kingdom and other Taixi countries in the Far East somehow went crazy and went straight to Guangzhou, but the result was inexplicably annihilated, and its warships were also captured, and Nalan Yuanshu reorganized the Nanyang Naval Division with these warships as the base.

Nalan Yuanshu is Cixi's cousin and nephew, and he is also a serious 800 banner man, the banner owner of the Zhenghuang Banner, and the only talent in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who can take out his hand, which can be described as a high authority, even with Li Hongzhang's strength, he can't get accurate information from Nalan Yuanshu.

Li Hongzhang only vaguely felt that drastic changes had taken place in the southeastern provinces. The upheaval in the southeastern provinces seems to be related to a man named Yang Lie.

Li Hongzhang wanted to investigate Yang Lie carefully, but the green battalions of the southeastern provinces were transferred to the Zhangjiakou area, which completely made Li Hongzhang unable to sit still, he thought that Guangxu was going to attack him, so a large amount of detailed work was scattered, and his energy and attention were completely focused on Jingshi, thus ignoring Yang Lie.

"The power of the Eagle people in my Qing Dynasty was uprooted by someone in the southeast, then the Eagle people have no strength at all and there is no need to move the Beiyang Naval Division, even if they really want to fight with my Beiyang Naval Division, at least they have to mobilize the fleet from the mainland, the key is that we have no conflict of interest with the Eagle People, so this matter is definitely not done by the Eagle People!" Zhang Peilun said in a deep voice.

"Could it be that there is really a heavenly fire? Or are the Eagle Country people playing tricks? Li Hongzhang frowned.

At this moment, Li Hongzhang faintly heard a commotion outside.

"What's going on?" Li Hongzhang shouted angrily.

"Lord Zhongtang, is it Ding Junmen and they are back?" Immediately a guard outside replied.

"Yuting (Ding Ruchang's character)? How did they get back? ”

"Ding Junmen...... They came from heaven ......"

"Bastard!" Li Hongzhang was furious, took two steps forward and pushed the door open, and then ...... Stunned.

Although dozens of torches have been lit in the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, the sky is black and flourishing, and there are still shadows, and faintly everyone saw two shadows accompanied by the sound of "woo~", hovering in the air, and then a rope hung down, Ding Ruchang went down the rope, followed by Liu Buchan, Lin Taizeng, Ye Zuqi and others......

When everyone had finished, the shadows hovering in the air turned their heads and flew farther and higher towards the night sky, until they disappeared.

"Yuting, you ...... Really from heaven? ......" Li Hongzhang asked with a look of incredulity with wide eyes, "Also, what about Zhengqing (Deng Shichang's character)?" ”

"Zhengqing...... Alas! Ding Ruchang let out a long sigh.

"Could it be that Zhengqing is in service?" Li Hongzhang suddenly felt an inexplicable grief in his heart.

"No, Lord Zhongtang misunderstood, Zhengqing is sitting in the Imperial Palace of the Wa Kingdom at this time." Ding Ruchang saw that Li Hongzhang had misunderstood, and hurriedly replied.

"What's that?" Ding Ruchang's words made Li Hongzhang's eyes almost pop out.

"Lord Zhongtang, let me wait for a closer look, now, please ask Lord Zhongtang to block the news first, after all, this matter is really incredible." Ding Ruchang hurriedly said.

Li Hongzhang came to his senses in an instant, and immediately ordered someone to block the news, originally thinking that Li Hongzhang's city government would not be so out of shape, but the way Ding Ruchang and others appeared was too shocking.

The sky is a forbidden area for human beings, but on the contrary, Ding Ruchang and others descended from him, and the impact on Li Hongzhang can be imagined.

"It's good that people are okay!" In the study, Li Hongzhang, who had regained his composure, drank tea and said lightly.

"People are fine, but the Beiyang Naval Division is gone," Ding Ruchang said with a sad face......

Ding Ruchang's words immediately calmed Li Hongzhang's heart, and his throat rose again.

"What the hell is going on? My Beiyang Navy Division has two ironclad ships in Dingzhen and Zhen, and there are six distances of Jing, Lai, Zhi, Jing, Ji, and Ping, why are they gone, could they all be sunk by the Japanese State? Li Hongzhang's eyes breathed fire.

"Lord Zhongtang is angry, except for Zhengqing's Zhiyuan ship, which was extremely seriously damaged, the rest of the ships have no major losses, but these battleships are not in our hands at this time, but in the hands of Yang Lie." Ding Ruchang hurriedly said.

"Yang Lie!" When this name appeared in Li Zhongtang's mind again, Li Hongzhang couldn't sit still, and always felt that there was an invisible and untouchable line in the dark that would connect him with Yang Lie.

"You mean Yang Lie captured all the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division?" Li Hongzhang asked in an extremely unbelieving but affirmative tone.

"Not only our Beiyang Naval Division, but also the entire fleet of the Japanese State was also captured by him, and the thing is like this......" Ding Ruchang was about to continue, but was interrupted by Li Hongzhang waving his hand.

"Wait!"

Seeing Li Hongyin walking back and forth in the study, about a cup of tea, Li Hongzhang stopped, stared at Ding Ruchang with his eyes tightly, and asked in an unusually calm tone: "A few months ago, was the combined fleet of the Taixi countries in the Far East also captured by Yang Lie?" ”

"Yes!"

"No wonder, no wonder...... It turned out that it was not Nalan Yuanshu, but that Yang Lie, and the green battalion of the southeastern provinces was suddenly transferred to Zhangjiakou, not at all to guard against my Beiyang and pay me Li Hongzhang, but was forced by Yang Lie to come, but what kind of divine ...... is this Yang Lie" Li Hongzhang sat down again, but he was not worried.

Although Li Hongzhang didn't understand who Yang Lie was and what he wanted to do, he could feel that Yang Lie didn't seem to have much malice towards him Li Hongzhang, and since this mysterious Yang Lie could hand over the captured warships of the Taixi Kingdoms to Nalan Yuanshu to reorganize the Nanyang Naval Division, then the warships of my Beiyang Naval Division could still be returned, but I didn't know what price to pay.

"Yuting, tell me what you have seen and heard, from beginning to end, meticulously and objectively!"
