- "Oops, it's still noisy! ”

Xiao Yue'er slapped the big hand that had fallen on her body and turned her back with a red face.

Young Master Li stretched his waist comfortably, "Count the money until your hands cramp, sleep until you wake up naturally" Life, beautiful! Especially with such a stunner by his side, it's really .......

"Why don't you let Xiao Xiao come in and have another morning together?" Young Master Li looked at the curvy little Yue'er, and thought of it with evil drool.

"Ascend to the disciples."

Duan Yue'er glanced at the stupid Young Master Li, stroked her long hair charmingly, and said softly while tidying up the room: "Aren't you going to the headquarters?" Didn't the Russians arrive for more than ten days? ”

What are you doing at the Command? It's all smelling of sweat now, and although the Russians are here, they will take at least half a month to start on a long-distance voyage, so why are you in such a hurry?

Young Master Li pursed his lips, knowing that Duan Yue'er was also worried about a possible war, and deliberately smiled: "If you come, you will come, and you will not come to Ryukyu, and besides, the headquarters is all smelly of sweat?" It's like here, with my little moon with me, how comfortable and fragrant! ”

Young Master Li sniffed greedily, Duan Yue'er hurriedly turned around and dodged, although she didn't understand why Li Mo suddenly didn't care about the war, but she was a smart person, since he didn't say it, he couldn't ask himself, so he immediately rolled his eyes: "Hmph, go and smell the little sister and, young grandmother!" ”

The daughter is a strange animal, especially when the other two women are mentioned in front of the man she likes, there is no one in the world who is not jealous, so how dare Master Li say it, he smiled and said: "It's okay to have you with me." ”

Although she knew that Young Master Li was not right, Duan Yue'er was still happy in her heart, and just wanted to speak, when there was a sudden knock on the door, she hurriedly tidied up her clothes and went to open the door.

Duan Fei quickly walked in, and when he saw Li Mo with his back on his back, he suddenly winked at his sister playfully, and when he saw his brother winking and laughing at himself, Duan Yue'er hurriedly stuck out his tongue at him, and then ran out with a red face Young Master Li's eyes widened, looking at the two brothers and sisters who were making grimaces, rubbing his eyes, and very doubting that Duan Fei, who had a cold face, was not ghosted, and would actually make such a little daughter's expression.

Seeing his sister leaving, Yan Fu instantly regained his cold expression, and handed over the two telegrams in his hand: "Young master, the ghost hand has arrived in Vladivostok, and the caller said that the new governor of the Far East sent by Russia this time is Aleksayev, and the commander of the fleet with him is Witheft. ”

"It's still these two great people!"

Duan Fei didn't notice the faint smile on the corner of Young Master Li's lips after hearing these two people, and continued: "In addition, yesterday, Li Hongzhang, on behalf of the Great Qing Dynasty, signed the Treaty of Mutual Assistance to the Enemy with the visiting Russian Foreign Minister Robertov. ”

"Russian Ambassador Cassini also immediately said that since the current situation in Korea has stabilized, the troops protecting the overseas Chinese should be withdrawn immediately and the rule of the Lee dynasty should be restored, and he also said that if he refuses to withdraw his troops, he will fulfill the Qing Russia's "Treaty of Mutual Assistance to the Enemy" and send the Far East Army into Korea to help the Qing army restore the Korean dynasty.

"Mutual Aid Treaty?" Li Mo got up with a smile and walked out, this typical treaty of using razing to control razing finally appeared, but the place of signing was changed to Yanjing.

The advent of this treaty has already sent a signal to everyone and the country that Russia is going to do it!

"Let's go, it's time for the fleet to avoid Ogasawara, and we'll see them off." ――

Vladivostok, today the pennant is unfurled, the drums are sounding in unison, and the soldiers are gathered in twos and threes, looking at the huge fleet slowly entering the port, but their hearts are full of excitement.

The arrival of the fleet means that the war is about to begin, and those aristocratic lords only know how to hide behind the scenes and point fingers, they do not understand how terrible it is to rush into the war and face the enemy's bullets and broadswords! In particular, the military salary, which has been in arrears for a month, has not yet been paid, which makes many soldiers full of complaints.

Standing on the deck, Aleksayev looked at the military port of Vladivostok, which has the reputation of the first fortress of the Far East of the Empire, and his heart was full of longing for the future. What could be more exciting? Those nobles who only know how to hide in St. Petersburg will never understand the richness and prosperity of the Far East!

A few months later, when he sets foot on the land that the empire dreams of rule, the whole world will remember a Slav named Aleksayev!

Himself will have a wonderful title, His Excellency the Governor of the Far East of the great Alikseyev.

Like Aleksayev, the new commander of the Far Eastern Fleet, Admiral Witheft, who stood behind him and arrived with the support fleet, was no less in high spirits, and with him leading the fleet here, the Far Eastern Fleet in Vladivostok would have four battleships, six battleships of the second rank (the Russians had a good face, calling their heavy cruisers battleships of the second rank), four protective cruisers, six torpedo ships, one coastal defense ship and up to twelve torpedo boats and gunboats, surpassing even the British Far Eastern Fleet in number and total tonnage, It has become the largest striking force in the Far East!

With a long whistle, the officials on the dock who came to greet them crowded to the gangway, hoping to meet the new governor of the Far East as soon as possible and leave a good impression on the officials.

However, they were soon disappointed, because Aleksayev was not ready to disembark at all, but greeted Vebe, the minister to Korea who had already arrived in Vladivostok, and the ambassador to the Qing Dynasty, Kasini, to the flagship of the fleet.

"Lord Weibei, do you have any new movements in North Korea?" Aleksayev squinted his eyes, shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the two ambassadors sitting opposite, and asked.

"Mr. Governor." Wei Bei flattened his mouth, he hated this pretentious and self-righteous guy, if it wasn't for the interests of the empire, he didn't bother to pay attention: "I said that I have tightened my control over North Korea, and at present they have more than 50,000 troops deployed in North Korea!" And the British also supplied some cannons. ”

"And what about the North Koreans? Have you not been in touch? ”

Wei Bei nodded: "North Korea is now very willing to cooperate with our plan, and is willing to provide 50,000 pounds of funds, I only hope that the empire can send troops as soon as possible to drive away Yue himself!" ”

"Fifty thousand pounds!" Aleksayev's eyes lit up, he took a sip of wine, and while thinking about how to get the money, he said: "I heard that the queen of North Korea who contacted you was killed by Yu herself?" ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, it's not the Queen, it's the Queen." Webey glanced at Aleksayev contemptuously, but he didn't expect that the new governor didn't even know the political situation in North Korea, and he really didn't know how he climbed to this position! "She's dead, but it doesn't affect us anymore, because the king of Joseon has promised to lease the port of Wonsan to the Empire, but at the moment he says that he has a thousand men stationed there. ”

Aleksayev coughed twice, hiding his ignorance, and said disdainfully: "Why do these damn yellow-skinned monkeys like to let women be in charge!" Are all their men dead?! ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, I want to remind you, don't underestimate women, don't forget, it is precisely because of the leadership of Empress Catherine that our country has created today's powerful Russian Empire!" Kasini, the ambassador to the Qing Dynasty, slapped his forehead and begged to agree with Aleksayev's words.

"Well, I apologize, I shouldn't underestimate women!" Aleksayev laughed, and after adding wine to Cassini, he continued to ask: "Dear Lord Cassini, tell me about your situation there, how is the old woman called Lao, oh yes, the old woman called the Queen Mother Lafayette!" ”

"The situation in the Qing Kingdom is a bit chaotic."

Cassini picked up his wine glass and shook it: "The Germans have just come and want to lease Qingdao, but unfortunately His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom did not agree, but I believe that the Germans will never give up so well and will definitely come back." ”

"These nasty Germans!" Aleksayev took a hard sip of wine and scolded.

"In addition to the Germans, the arsonist in the Far East has recently established diplomatic relations with the Qing Dynasty and has also set up mansions in Yanjing and Yantai." Cassini said jealously.

Arsonists in the Far East? Master Hawaii!

Aleksayev's heart moved, he had heard this name many times when he was in Europe, and when he set out for the Admiralty Aleksey. Duke Aleksandrovich also specially instructed himself to be careful, so after hearing that the Hawaiians had gotten Yantai, he immediately became nervous and asked, "The Hawaiian Pacific Fleet is stationed in Yantai?" ”

Cassini shook his head and immediately said, "No, it's just a treaty port, don't forget that the British are in Weihai, and when I came out, I got the news that they had also withdrawn all the capital ships of the Ryukyus, and said that they would go to the Ogasawara Islands for a temporary stay." ”

Hearing that the most worried guy took the initiative to withdraw the warship, Aleksayev breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly regained his previous self-confidence, and said with a smile: "Haha, it seems that this Hawaiian young master is not very good!" I think he was afraid of the Far Eastern Fleet of the Reich, so as not to cause a misunderstanding! ”

Seeing Aleksayev's big face, Cassini had a feeling of wanting to vomit, damn it! If the Hawaiians were afraid, how could they sneak attack the fleet and pay a huge amount of compensation!

In order not to make Aleksayev too "proud", Cassini had to remind: "Lord Governor, I think you still have to be careful, the Hawaiians are very good at sneak attacks!" ”

"Don't worry!" Alekseev patted Cassini on the shoulder: "Dear Mr. Ambassador, I am ready, Commander Vitheft is also ready for any challenge, and all those who stand in the way of the Empire will be completely eliminated!" ”

Aleksayev raised his glass, toasted with Cassini and Vebe, and wiped his mouth: "By the way, I heard that the soldiers' salaries have been in arrears for a month, which is not a good idea. ”

Wei Bena still didn't understand, gritted his teeth, took out the check from the king of Joseon from his arms, and said through gritted teeth: "Mr. Governor-General, this is the military fee from North Korea to the empire, I think he should be able to help you!" ”

"Thank you so much!" Aleksayev grabbed the check, stuffed it into his pocket, and laughed: "Dear Lord Webey, I will immediately send a fleet to send you back, of course, the people of Wonsan Port will solve it for you!" ”

"Thank you so much!" Webey had just lost the fifty thousand pounds he had gotten, and his flesh was painful, and after taking a sip of the residual wine in his glass, he nodded and immediately got out of the bridge.

"Mr. Ambassador Casini, Qingguo will be handed over to you, if there is any movement, please notify me immediately!" Aleksayev put down his glass: "Especially the movements of the Hawaiians!" ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Governor, I will immediately return to the Qing Kingdom and send someone to Yantai to spy on the Hawaiians!" Cassini also quickly said goodbye to the new governor, and when he walked out of the hatch, he did not forget to advise: "We have signed the "Treaty of Mutual Assistance to the Enemy" with the Qing State, and you can do it at any time!" ”

"Don't worry, my ambassador, the army will be fully prepared in three days, and at that time I will immediately attack Korea and Qingguo!" Aleksayev was full of confidence: "You are waiting for good news in Yanjing!" ”。
