In Tianjin, in Tian's clinic in the British Concession, a patient was arguing with Tian Buzi in a hurry, and it seemed that his eyes were about to fall off. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's really unreasonable for your army to do this, the men and horses who attacked your caravan are not my Beiyang family, why did your army blow up the arms of my Beiyang Song Qing Department at Yingkou? This indiscriminate anger of your army has caused me huge losses in Beiyang, and it will inevitably make the Japanese in the Liaohe area profitable! "This is Li Fang, who is disguised as a patient, protesting to Tian Buzi.

"Mr. Li Fang, right? Are you dealing with foreign affairs for the first time? I would like to ask if Beiyang is an army subordinate to the battle sequence of the Qing army? If neither the Beiyang naval and land armies were the Manchu Qing army, then I apologize for the retaliatory attack of the Great Song Marines at Yingkou a few days ago. However, if the Beiyang Army is still subordinate to the Qing army, there is no problem with this retaliatory strike against the Qing army attack on the Great Song caravan, and our retaliation target is the Manchu Qing, not against any warlord faction. Tian Buzi also felt that Lord Zhongtang really missed the house leak and it rained overnight, and he blew up the arsenal again, but strictly speaking, this revenge can't find fault.

"This, this, this. Ay! This is a silver ticket of 200,000 taels, and my husband asked me to ask on my behalf, when will the several torpedo boats you detained in Beiyang be released? Li Fang had nothing to say about the bombing of the Song Qingbu camp in Yingkou, and he was pitted by his pig teammates, so he had to swallow the knocked out front teeth into his stomach.

"Well, I just want to ask your husband, is there any connection between the payment of the outstanding goods and the impact of your armed torpedo boats on the Dalian Bay safety zone? Why did Mr. Lee link these two things? Tian Buzi had an expression that he didn't know what you were talking about.

Lord Zhongtang was also surprised at first that these torpedo boats parked in Lushun suddenly drove to the Dalian Bay Fort, but the old fox came back to his senses after thinking about it, this Nima was his own subordinate and was rebelled by others. There is already a precedent for Dalian Bay, and it is not new for those low-level soldiers trapped in the Liaodong Peninsula to make such a moth, the officials only think about infighting and running away, and of course the people below have to find a way for themselves. There is a ready-made template dozens of miles away, and if you do it like this, you will have a way to live, and you can just change the owner to work, who wants to wait for death with the unreliable officials?

Of course, Lord Zhongtang knew that there was no hope of getting back those torpedo boats, just like losing control of Dalian Bay, this pseudo-Song would not give up again. The old fox's calculation was to use these torpedo boats as a quarterly repayment, but he deducted the 200,000 taels of silver from Sheng Huaixuan. It is also a good choice to use these torpedo boats, which have actually become the leading means of transportation for the Beiyang generals, to pay off some debts.

But Tian Buzi is not stupid, where will he eat your set. Originally, these torpedo boats were going to knock down the Nakado Lord who did not pay back, and these ships were really bad for the traversers. However, in line with the principle that the meat that you eat in your mouth will not spit out even if you have firewood, it is impossible for the crossing to return it to Beiyang.

"When I purchased these torpedo boats in Beiyang, it cost a lot of money, even if it was depreciated, it was worth two or three hundred thousand taels of silver. Since your army is unwilling to return it, how about using it to offset the arrears for the first quarter? Li Fang conveyed the idea of Lord Zhongtang to Tian Buzi.

"Offset the arrears? No, no, what do we want those backward ships for? We are temporarily detaining these ships because they are violating the decree of the Great Song Parliament on the establishment of a security zone in Dalian Bay, and we will return them to their rightful owners when the war between the Manchus and Japan is over. As for the storage costs incurred during this period, I will inform you as soon as the relevant departments submit a report. Tian Buzi said with a smile, joking Lu Xiaobei said that these are the interest you don't pay on time, but you still want to use it to offset the arrears, it's really whimsical.

"What? Do you still need to keep the fee? You are blackmail! When Li Fang heard that these torpedo boats were parked in Dalian Bay, they had to ask Beiyang for money, so he blew up at that time.

"This is an international practice. If Mr. Li refuses to pay for the costs incurred by these ships during their docking at Dalian Bay, we are also justified in refusing to return them after the war. Tian Buzi's face was full of expressions looking at the buns.

When the war is over, you want us to take the money to redeem these torpedo ships? The battle is over, why do we need these torpedo boats? This is clearly Chiguoguo's blackmail, and it is also called an international practice. This Dalian Bay is obviously from my Qing Dynasty, why did you let the pseudo-Song Dynasty set up a safe zone, but you won't let it pass? Li Fang gritted his teeth angrily at Tian Buzi's shameless arguments.

"Let them take those torpedo boats, just buy a lesson, the eldest child can't behave like this in the future." Lord Nakado is also helpless against such a rogue approach of crossing the crowd.

"Father, this is a note from the puppet Song Dynasty, asking the Qing Dynasty to compensate for the losses of his caravan totaling 150,000 taels of silver, and to release Li Zuyou, the son of Li Duofu, an employee of the puppet Royal Navy." Li Jingfang handed the diplomatic note submitted by Tian Buzi to Li Hongzhang with both hands.

"Humph! This Wu Dashi is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and he went to provoke the caravan of the pseudo-Song Dynasty for no reason. He has attacked this sea city a few times, but he can't take it down, and he has to work this dog's idle work with mice. Go and tell the pseudo-Song envoy in the Yingyi Concession, let them go to the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen and Liu Kun to fight a lawsuit, what's the use of telling me, can I still control the people in Liu Kun's entrainment? "Lord Zhongtang feels that Beiyang is implicated for no reason, and he is holding his stomach.

"I want to see how these self-righteous Qingliu deal with this pseudo-Song, hmph. That group of people is not the one who is willing to suffer, I am afraid that if the 150,000 taels of silver are sent a little later, Wu Dashi over there in Haicheng will suffer a big loss. Nakado-sama said.

Tian Buzi sent the news that Lord Zhongtang wanted to use the torpedo boat to offset the arrears back to the command center of the green paint area, and everyone in the war room was laughing at Lord Zhongtang's calculations, but his brain was a little bad, even if your torpedo boats made do with it, it could be used, but since it was eaten by the rough matches, you still want to be able to deduct something, it would be too naïve. What's more, the rough ones regard these torpedo boats as chicken ribs, and they don't treat them very well, in their words, they think that their output is too low when they are changed to tugboats.

Originally, Lu Xiaobei thought about crossing the lack of a navy, fishing for a few easy-to-use torpedo boats to come back, and setting up Hellfire anti-tank missiles, so that the problem of coastal defense would be roughly solved, at least without having to fight on the battlefield at every turn.

It's just that this Hellfire anti-tank missile is going to pass through your own people to operate, which one are you going to let on the ship? On this kind of torpedo boat, whose tonnage is comparable to that of a river gunboat, is really fighting with your life. Where is the tonnage, and what protection can this torpedo boat have?
