Hai Rui is known as the sea pen frame, this is a story, when he was serving as a teacher, his leadership, Yanping Mansion inspection to Nanping inspection work, in the Nanping County School Office to meet with the school officials. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe two deputies entered the hall under the leadership of Hai Rui, and as soon as they saw the inspection, one left and one right hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed. Hai Rui was sandwiched between the two, standing without kneeling, only arching his hand. Shixue was first surprised, then embarrassed, sneered, and said to the entourage on both sides: "Yo, you look at these three people, but they are a mountain pen holder!" So Hai Rui's nickname of "Beacon Mountain" spread far and wide, and this imperial history also said that he would not bow down, and other people coaxed him, all of them were Hanlin Imperial History, "What the senior brother said is very true, they all listen to the senior brother, and let the British barbarians see the backbone of our Tianyi Dynasty!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The time is almost over, and the three people who finally appeared in the sight of the prince Zuo Zongtang and Guo Songtao, everyone's expressions were on Zuo Zongtang's face, I wonder if this Zuo stubborn donkey will also bow down to the British crown prince? If you don't kneel, it's going to make trouble, that is to say, what you said in the military plane before without paying too much attention to etiquette is a lie, and you can't escape from the capriciousness at both ends of the first rat. If you kneel down and salute, then you bow down to foreigners and forget your Chinese roots, and you have lost your status as a Zaifu, but you have implemented it.

It is difficult for modern people to understand these etiquette, but in the eyes of the ancients, whether the etiquette is proper or not is definitely a more serious problem than killing the head, Prince Gong is really still old and spicy, just let Zuo Zongtang go out to greet him, so he fell into the quagmire of dilemma and couldn't move, everyone's eyes saw Zuo Zongtang's face, but they were surprised to find that Zuo Zongtang was still calm and calm, proud and confident.

A few people were whispering, "What kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be at this time?" If I might as well call myself sick immediately, at least I would have avoided this catastrophe. ”

"How could Zuo Jigao do that? He has always been known for his style of daring to do things and never shirking it, and Xisheng also took a fancy to him to trust him so much. If he hides like this, I'm afraid it will be even more criticized. ”

Zuo Zongtang looked around at everyone, and when he saw that everyone's faces were different, he couldn't help but smile slightly, "Yun Xian," he called out to Guo Songtao, "Have you seen it, these people are all waiting to see my jokes." ”

"How can they know that Brother Ji Gao has a way to crack it?" Guo Songtao also looked at these imperial historians with hostility, before he was an ambassador in Europe, and it was these people who chirped crookedly all day long, and later, when he returned to China as the prime minister's yamen to manage the diplomatic affairs of various countries, these people's mouths have never been heard, and now they are gloating, and they are about to wait for some kind of moth to be embarrassed and thrown to foreigners, all of which are unknown, Guo Songtao naturally will not have any good feelings, "Thanks to Xisheng." ”

"Thanks to Xisheng," Zuo Zongtang laughed, "How can you be disrespectful if you are so empathetic and can control the overall situation?" Fifth master, look, will you read it out later? After all, you are a positive envoy. ”

Prince Tan came out with a snuffbox, wiped his nose, and sneezed, "I came today, but I was framed by you, the gods fought, the little ghost suffered, and my little ghost will also suffer." ”

"What's the matter, isn't this asking the fifth master to take the general," Zuo Zongtang's temperament is more similar to that of Prince Xuan, and he speaks straightforwardly, "The fifth master is a little ghost, obviously a fairy, as soon as this big fairy makes a move, he will know if there is one." ”

The fleet of the Chinese Beiyang Naval Division slowly approached the dock as a leader, dispersed, and then arrived the Indian fleet of the British, although Zuo Zongtang was joking with Prince Xuan, but he also noticed the difference between the Beiyang Naval Division and the Indian fleet, his expression darkened slightly, turned his head to look at Guo Songtao, Guo Songtao's face was also gloomy, they knew that there was a certain gap between the two from the appearance alone, "What a big warship." Prince Xuan covered the sun with his hand and carefully looked at the giant ship that covered the sky and the sun, "I said Lord Zuo, is it bigger than the warship of our Beiyang Naval Division?" ”

"Yes, it seems to be much more advanced, I don't know about these things as sailors, but I think that the bigger the warship, the better," Zuo Zongtang shook his head slightly, "Our sailors originally thought it was enough, but now look at it, it is completely incomparable with the British." ”

Prince Xuan was surprised, "It's a pity, the seventh didn't come, he likes warships the most." ”

The officials who had been talking about it were suddenly dumb, silent, and everyone raised their heads, with complicated expressions, mixed with excitement, jealousy, anger, and envy to look at the British fleet, those cold bows, gray sides, huge chimneys emitting black smoke, and the black and chilling muzzles, as well as the British naval soldiers on the warships pointing and laughing at the people on the ground, all brought a huge shock to the officials present, and the crowd gradually calmed down, and even the most stubborn people found out, the overwhelming victory of the British fleet.

"Our Beiyang Naval Division is more advanced than the Nanyang Naval Division, and the Beiyang Naval Division is already the best naval division," Zhang Jing of a prime minister's yamen whispered, and his voice quietly entered everyone's heart, "The British still have about two or three fleets that are better than the Indian fleet!" ”

"And even better!" What could be more sobering than a naked truth? There is a royal history who saw today's scene, and when he went back, he only wrote this sentence in his diary: "Today, I know that I can't be arrogant and underestimate the heroes of the world!" Immediately abandoned the pen from Rong, joined the sailor, more than ten years later for the country in the battle really shined, was called "today's Fubo", this is a later word, not for the time being.

British Ambassador Abbott proudly looked at the reactions of these Chinese, and a reserved smile appeared on his face. The giant ship led by put down the long ladder, the drums on the dock sounded, the British soldiers wearing red woolen uniforms and spears walked down in columns, surrounded by the dock, forming a vigilant situation, headed by the three important ministers, Prince Tan in front, Zuo Zongtang in the back and left, Guo Songtao in the back and right, the three of them walked in front together, Albert followed behind, and slowly walked down a middle-aged man wearing a red uniform, a red beard with a royal blue ribbon and a cold smile on his face, it was Prince Edward.

Abbott suddenly felt that something was wrong, didn't he say before to bow down? Why did these Chinese not react at all? Is it necessary to change the divination on such an important occasion when something that has been discussed? Abbott whispered a sentence in Chinese and Zuo Zongtang, "Lord Zuo, your country has to kneel to welcome!" (To be continued.) )
