25. Rising Again (4)

The soldiers on the newly arrived warship stood solemnly, and the important ministers of the court accompanied the Empress Dowager Cixi for about an hour, and then they got off the ship, and the soldiers had the time to breathe, and several middle-level soldiers and officers gathered together, "My God," a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said excitedly, "Xisheng, her old man, actually got on our ship!" ”

"Ahem, Zhong Qing, what are you talking about?" A man in his thirties with slender eyebrows, fair skin, and a handsome appearance on the side coughed a few times, "What is our ship?" It's obviously the ship of the Beiyang Naval Division. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Yes, yes," the person who was called Zhong Qing hurriedly changed his words, "Then the ship of the Beiyang Naval Division is naturally the ship of the old man of Xisheng, but unfortunately there is no blessing, I know that Liu Heng, the blessing is really great, not only to see the Xisheng, but also to praise the heavens, so he joined the army from Rong, although his position in the Nanyang Naval Division is not high, but everyone says that he studies hard and is willing to endure hardships, and he will definitely be a pillar of talent in the future, but unfortunately, we are not blessed, and we have not been able to meet Xisheng face to face!" ”

"Then you, a Fujian son, why aren't you in the Nanyang Naval Division?" Another man of medium stature said slyly, "It's closer to your house." ”

"They are all for the country, naturally we have to choose the best place, the Beiyang Naval Division was built early, and the warships are excellent, I just know that the South Seas are not as good as the North Oceans, so I have to come to the North Ocean on an errand, so I can take advantage of my wishes."

"I'm afraid that if you don't adapt to the water and soil, you won't be able to get off the Beiyang ship."

"In this case, we are sailors, and we naturally take the ship as our home," that Zhong Qing said with a smile, "It's also excellent to stay on this thief ship in Beiyang all the time." ”

"I'm going to tell the Admiral, what a thief ship!" A person on the side who was wiping the binoculars with a flannel cloth smiled at Zhong Qing, his skin was dark and there were several scars on his forehead, "Okay, you Lin Yongsheng!" I'll say this to the Admiral, and see if the Admiral will give you a board!" ”

Lin Yongsheng laughed, "You old yellow, you are really holding back the bad water!" ”

The two of them frolicked. A young man on the side, with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a straight nose, who had never spoken, put down the English book in his hand, on which many compasses and mechanical drawings were drawn, "Okay." You can be quiet, this time people are still on the dock, if it is heard, it is not good, we are all from studying in England, although the Germans have helped us practice for a few days. We also drove back from Germany, but Germany and France have different construction models, what we have learned, after all, it is still different, and this is not the time to play, so let's be honest. In the Suez Canal, we have suffered enough humiliation. ”

"Yes," Hearing the five words of the Suez Canal, Lin Yongsheng and the other person suddenly became depressed, and the original look of detachment on their faces disappeared. Instead of a faint look of grief and indignation, several people fell silent, and the sound outside the window came in, "Woo woo~" The whistle whimpered, mixed with the chirping of seagulls, and suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps. The hatch opened, and in came a middle-aged man in his forties, with a slight short beard and attentive eyes. Walking in and looking around at everyone, "Okay, you don't have to look anywhere else, hurry," he clapped his hands. "Get off the boat for me!"

"Lord Commander," everyone stood up, and the man who was holding a book and urging everyone to study began, "why do you suddenly want to get off the ship again?" ”

"So much nonsense!" The chief soldier shouted, "Hurry up, the Western Saint has summoned!" ”

Everyone was excited. There was nothing else, only that Lin Yongsheng was stunned, and the quill in his hand directly "lay on his stomach" and fell to the ground.

In a house on the edge of the port of Dagukou, the Empress Dowager Cixi returned from visiting Britain in the old year, and she also rested here temporarily, and the officials of the Beiyang Naval Division, the ship pipes and others were already waiting below, and after half a tea hour, a little eunuch clapped his hands and asked humbly, "Those are the new generals of the Beiyang Naval Division to the German ironclad ship?" ”

The middle-aged man who was called "the chief soldier" by Lin Yongsheng and others stepped forward, "The chief soldier of Weihai Town, Ding Ruchang, the commander of the left wing of the Beiyang Naval Division, is waiting here with all the generals. ”

"Okay, very," the little eunuch nodded, "Lord Ding, you bring someone in, the West Holy Master will summon you together!" ”

"Father-in-law," Ding Ruchang said embarrassedly, "I didn't prepare to face the saint today, the big guys are all wearing the ship's uniforms, and the court clothes are not on the body, so I am afraid that it will be a loss of etiquette." ”

The little eunuch looked at the sailor generals in uniform behind him, "That's right, but I can't be the master of this matter, you go in first, our ancestors and Peng Dashuai are all there, what should I do, please ask them." ”

Ding Ruchang answered yes, and entered the small building with a few people behind him, in the entrance hall, Peng Yulin and Li Lianying were talking, and when they turned their heads, they saw Ding Ruchang and others, "Yu Xian, you are here." ”

"Big handsome," Ding Ruchang pointed to the people behind him, "The big guys are all wearing uniforms." ”

The uniform of the Beiyang Navy Division is a stone blue Chinese horse coat, the cuffs are 6 inches wide, the waist is tight and small, the cuffs, neckline, placket, and hem are decorated with traditional trim and cloud head patterns, made of black satin in summer, and black velvet cloth in other seasons. In conjunction with this uniform, officers must also wear a belt around their waists and carry command knives. Of course, if you want to be in front of the saint today, you can't bring a knife.

"Father-in-law Li, look?" Peng Yulin asked Li Lianying what she meant, "If you let Xisheng wait, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

"Xisheng is the most benevolent and benevolent, and she doesn't care about these red tapes," Li Lianying said with a smile, "This is also a temporary intention to summon the returning generals, as long as everyone is respectful, her old man will not blame her for wearing anything." ”

"That's good," Peng Yulin nodded, "This Western Saint can summon the generals of the Beiyang Naval Division, which is really the supreme honor of the Beiyang Naval Division." He turned his head to look at a few people, "Be careful with me, if the emperor loses his honor, don't think about this 7,000-ton ironclad ship." ”

Everyone was silent, standing with their sleeves in their hands, a group of people stood downstairs and waited for a while, there were a few eunuchs standing at the staircase and the corner, and there were many guards outside the small building, it can be seen that the guards were very strict, after a cup of tea, there was a young man upstairs who was wearing a shell, he was sweating profusely, and his face was still a little frightened, Li Lianying saw this person and shouted, "Master Ling Bei."
