"The Napoleonic Emperor of France did not have the best time to launch a war against Tsarist Russia, so he suffered the defeat of the Battle of Waterloo, and the most powerful person in French history hated it, so that France lost the light it should have, even if there is a strong military force, it must match the timing and launch it together to have the best effect," Akiyama Yoshiko said slowly, "You are a general of the navy, you should know very well that the excellent warships of the navy also need time to run in before they can play a role."

"Yes, I'm very aware of this," Akiyama said, "I was already very excited to think that such a good cruiser Yoshino was about to be put into service, but I didn't expect that there would be a 'Kanagawa' of the same size and configuration as the Yoshino that could be purchased immediately, which is really as lucky as seeing the koi fish in Kinkakuji!" ”

Akiyama shook his head, the two brothers have very different personalities, so they chose different careers, the navy is relatively speaking, it requires enthusiasm and boldness, so it is not surprising that Akiyama Mayuki reacted like this, but he still needs to pour cold water on his calmness, "Please don't be overly optimistic, Kanagawa, whether it can be transported to Nagasaki Port smoothly is still unknown!" ”

"What? Brother, what do you mean by that? Akiyama Mayuki was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, Kogu is a middle-level officer, and he knows a lot of information better than anyone outside.

"Qingguo will definitely obstruct it," Akiyama Yoshiko calmly analyzed, "A Yoshino is already more powerful than the Dingyuan, if there is another Kanagawa, if I were Li Hongzhang, I will definitely go crazy with jealousy, they will definitely stop us before we have the Kanagawa, this is a sure thing, so," Akiyama Yoshiko picked up the newspaper again and buried his head in the newspaper, "The torture we will encounter in the future will be great," although he looked at the newspaper, his back was straight, "We must be ready to march in the midst of suffering!"

Akiyama Yoshiko's wife brought the tray up, and the dinner was very simple: two bowls of barley rice, two bowls of miso soup, and a serving of natto, Akiyama Yoshiko picked up the chopsticks and said to Mayuki, "Manhood doesn't need too luxurious eating and clothing, His Majesty the Emperor is eating one meal a day, and our meals are already much better than those eaten by His Majesty the Emperor, please eat, after eating, you still need to strengthen your study!" ”

"Hay!"

Tianjin, the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili.

In ordinary times, the governor's yamen is always full of traffic and never stops, doing things, asking for help, closing the talk, asking for life, from morning to night, I am afraid that it has not stopped for a moment, but this is strange, what, there is no one at the door of the governor's yamen, only the Gashiha who is standing and patrolling and guarding the door is guarding, and the rest of the idle people are not at all, no one needs to inquire, I know that this Li Hongzhang Li Governor is not an outsider, either there is an important matter to negotiate, or there is an extremely important guest to the door, The rest of the people were all in the way and could not enter or leave.

There was a precedent for this before, before the "Bohai Bank" and "Zhili Bank", the meeting of the establishment of the bank was also heavily guarded, and the Shanxi businessmen inside were locked up in the governor's yamen for three days and three nights, and the people outside thought that Lord Li Dutai was going to take a knife to invite these gods of wealth to donate, but this time there were about important guests to arrive, after all, the people in the market were the most well-informed, which was such an important person who came here, so that Li Hongzhang was so grand, you must know that Zhili Tianjin Province is here, There is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the sea as well as the port wharf, the official railway, whether it is going south or north, they all like to go out from Tianjin, so there are a lot of things to be sent here in Tianjin, and if it is the character of Li Hongzhang who works in person, it is definitely a great person, and the general governor is afraid that there is still no such treatment.

In the signing room, two people are sitting opposite each other, the maid sent tea up, did not dare to delay and hurriedly retreated, Li Hongzhang and the visitors are wearing very ordinary homely clothes, although they are not wearing court clothes, but Li Hongzhang is amazing, there is a sense of not being angry and self-prestigious, he has lived in the place for a long time, only I am used to it, but there is a big difference with the appearance of the person on the opposite side who is gentle and gentle as a jade humble gentleman, and the members of the court, no matter which one is extremely modest, after all, in the court, no matter which one is nothing, There are more super-quality princes and princes waiting for you.

Li Hongzhang picked up the bowl and saluted the man in the east head, sitting in the east head means that Li Hongzhang shows this respect, "Brother Zhonghua," he said with a smile, "You are rare to come to Tianjin, you can't say that you have to spend a few more days." ”

Li Hongzhang, who was sitting on the east and west sides, was Rong Lu Rong Zhonghua, Li Hongzhang was very enthusiastic, and he was also very moved, "Brother Shaoquan hasn't seen him for many years, and he is still so enthusiastic, thinking about playing long hair together in the south back then, counting it, it has been more than thirty years, hey," Rong Lu doesn't know how, in recent years, he seems to have aged very fast, his face is pale yellow, and white hair has grown on his sideburns, you must know that he is one year younger than the Empress Dowager Cixi, and this year is only fifty-eight, you must know that such an age is still young among the senior officials at the ministerial level, compared to Li Hongzhang, he is also much younger, but Li Hongzhang's face is ruddy and energetic, "Look at Brother Shaoquan's spirit is much better than that of his younger brother." ”

The two of them fought together in Jiangnan in the past, and they were comrades, the friendship of men, if they carried guns together, it was extraordinarily deep, and Li Hongzhang and Rong Lu both belonged to the Queen Mother's people, one was personally promoted by the Queen Mother, and the other was the Queen Mother's acquaintance in the old years, and there was also a layer of such a relationship, before Rong Lu was in charge of the military department, the affairs of the water division, and he was also in charge, so there was also a deal, so the two of them together, they did not wear court clothes to say anything on the scene, but just spoke casually in the signing room.

Rong Lu said this, Li Hongzhang laughed, "My days in Zhili, I'm afraid it is much easier than Zhonghua in the military department, although I have a lot of miscellaneous things here, but the burden of the center, the military department, the new army and the water division, such a big business is pressed on Zhonghua's shoulders, you are naturally a lot tired." The foolish brother secretly cultivated himself for a few years. ”

"I don't have to worry about it next," Rong Lu took a sip of tea and shook his head, "I am relieved that I have been relieved to be discharged from the errand of the military department, and now I am the same as Brother Shaoquan, and I will be a neighbor, Brother Shaoquan can't forget my foolish brother." ”
