The southeast suburb of Shanghai County, near Anlan Daoyuan, Xinjie. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The area of Xinjie is close to Santai Wharf, the water and land are convenient, but far away from the city, quite clean, in a quiet compound east of the Taoist courtyard, the body has been obviously bloated Bai Zhi leisurely in the courtyard slowly walked, easy to be content to return to Shanghai She already knows, delayed future visits, she did not take it to heart.

She knew very well that Yi Zhixiang did not want the existence of the child to be known by the imperial court, and she was worried that the imperial court would detain her mother and son as hostages in Jingshi, and now the old lady and wife of the Yi family would be detained in Jingshi?

If you are another woman, you may not be able to balance your heart, but she is from the Qinglian Sect, and she clearly knows that she is content with the surface scenery, but in fact, she is seeking skin with the tiger, dancing on the tip of the knife, and she doesn't care, what she cares about is the safety of the child.

The body is getting heavier and heavier, and she is actually more and more reluctant to move, but Lang Zhong is admonishing that she must insist on activities every day, otherwise it is not conducive to production, and she has been preaching among the people all the year round.

When it was dark, she was preparing for the room, but she heard a knock on the door, three unhurried sounds, very rhythmic, but not a familiar rhythm, the maid behind her hesitated, and then said: "The slave maid will help Miss go back to the room first......?" ”

Bai Zhi lives here and no one knows at all, for the sake of the child, she didn't even dare to tell the Qinglian Sect, no one will disturb this courtyard at all, but, in case of being bumped into, she still nodded, moved back to the room, and said: "You go and see, I'm afraid that the enemy is coming." ”

It is indeed easy to be content, he and Yan Shikuan did not even take a small boat to dock at Santai Wharf and came all the way on foot, the sky was dark, and this side of the carriage was quite clean, and there was no one at all along the way, and the courtyard entered, Yi Zhishu looked at it casually, and saw that the courtyard was quite large, and the forest was lush, and he was more satisfied.

Bai Zhi, who was already bulging in the room, got up to greet him, and he hurriedly said, "Sit, don't move." ”

"How can you be so squeamish." Bai Zhi smiled with a satisfied smile, Yan Shikuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen my sister-in-law." ”

"Brother Yan, you're welcome. Sit. Bai Zhi said and instructed the maid to hold the lamp and serve tea, but Yan Shikuan was interested, and after a few words of greeting, he went out of the room and went for a walk in the yard.

As soon as he went out, Yi Zhizhi said with concern: "Is everything okay?" ”

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "I heard that Gege is very beautiful? ”

"No matter how beautiful it is, it can't be as beautiful as our white lady."

"When did you become flamboyant?"

Yi Zhizhi smiled, "I'm thinking about whether to take Jin Ying's girl over to talk to you, so that you don't get too bored." ”

"No, the young girl can't sit still, and I'm afraid it will cause chaos when she comes."

"Have you ever thought about going back to the West Garden, or going back to Lei Garden?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "It's better to be outside." ”

Groaning slightly, Yi Zhizhi said: "Qinglian teaches the ten places of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to be the general manager of the special son...... What should I do? Or just uproot him? ”

The reason why Bai Zhi did not hesitate to use the method of medicine to have a relationship with Yi Zhizhi was to eliminate the threat of Yi Zhizi, this matter, Yi Zhifen naturally would not stand idly by, after all, now Bai Zhi is not only his woman but also pregnant with his child, even if he does not consider Yi Zhenren and Bai Zhi, for his own consideration, this matter must be properly handled, otherwise it may be a thunder that does not know when it will explode!

With Yi Zhi's current status and identity, once the identity of Bai Zhi is known by the imperial court or he is secretly colluding with the Qinglian Sect, it is impossible to tolerate the decision, even if Yuan Qi is uprooted, the imperial court will not hesitate!

Bai Zhi naturally understands the stakes in this, but after all, she was born in the Qinglian Sect, and she uprooted the Qinglian Sect in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for her own selfishness, she really made up her mind, and sighed slightly, before he spoke: "If you really want to uproot the Qinglian Sect in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, senior sister, I am afraid that I will not be at peace in my heart for the rest of my life, and now that we have children, we also have to accumulate some virtue for our children." ”

After a pause, she continued: "I plan to invite Master to come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Master will arrange for a private meeting with Yi Zhuanzi, can it be done?" ”

Meeting in private, it's nothing, Yi Zhishu said with a slight sigh: "Cheng, according to the senior sister, but the meeting place is in Shanghai." ”

Originally, Yi Zhixiang also planned to stay here for a night to accompany Bai Zhi, at least to talk with him, but unexpectedly, after staying in the room for half an hour, Bai Zhi repeatedly urged him to leave, she is now holding her stomach, but she does not want the other party to stay overnight.

The boat glides slowly on the river, the lights on the wide river are dotted, although it is only summer, the weather is already hot, but the river breeze on the river at night is gusting, but it is also refreshing, Yi Zhizhi is enjoying the river scenery with a cigar in his mouth, Yan Shikuan, who has always talked a lot, doesn't know what he is thinking, and he doesn't bother him.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the Xiaodongmen Wharf, Yan Shikuan asked tentatively, "Don't you take it home?" ”

"Buy the yard and arrange for a few more people to wait." Yi Zhizhi said: "Lang Zhong has to come to the door every three or five times, and the midwife is all arranged in advance. ”

"Don't worry, there won't be a half-point pool." Yan Shikuan naturally knew how important this child was to Yi Zhifen, and naturally he didn't dare to be the slightest bit snubbed, originally he was still a little puzzled in his heart, it was obviously a good thing, why did he cover it up, but after learning that Yi Yunchang and his wife stayed in Beijing, he faintly guessed the reason, so it was naturally inconvenient to ask more.

Dinghai, Nanyang Navy Camp, Dinghai Port.

In the past few days, the originally empty Dinghai Port suddenly became lively, there were large and small fleets anchored one after another, and the wharf was also busy, many recruits put down their training, temporarily acted as porters, busy unloading, and the materials transported were both food and guns and ammunition, and a group of recruits speculated that there might be a big war, and they were both excited and nervous.

As the sun set, several warships loaded with recruits went to sea for training slowly returned to the port, and on the bow of the first battleship, the battalion commander Zai Zhao stood with his hands in his hands, silently observing the ships in the harbor, and found that there were more than ten more merchant ships, he couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, it seems that the previous guess was right, the Nanyang Navy is afraid that there is really a big war recently, otherwise, there is no reason to continuously transport so many materials to Dinghai.

"Battalion commander." Bartow stepped forward and said softly, "Is there really a battle to be fought?" ”

Zai Zhao glanced at him, since Yi Zhizhi married the clan and married his sister as his wife, this kid was very attentive to him, he naturally knew what the other party was thinking, this kid left Beijing in the Tianjin Dagu military camp to commit a crime, in public, insulted Yi Zhicontent, almost was not killed on the spot, in the end he was still clever, and ended up with a twenty military stick, three years of not being promoted, the heart is naturally afraid of war, afraid of Yi Zhi's contentment to announce personal vendettas.

groaning slightly, Zai Zhaocai said sarcastically: "What, afraid of going to the battlefield?" ”

For most of the half year of the closed training of the Dinghai Battalion, Bato had long lost his original arrogance, and said pitifully: "We are just a little soldier......." ”

"What's wrong with the creeps?" Zai Zhao said: "Don't you know the rules of the Nanyang Navy, the charge is led by the officer, and the chance of casualties among the soldiers is smaller than that of the officers." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of casualties." Bato said: "The main thing is that you can't promote ...... for three years. ”

Hearing this, Zai Zhao smiled, the navy adopts free competition to select middle and low-level officers, most of the sons of the clan Jueluo and the Eight Banners can run for the upper platoon and company-level officers, and those who are not good can also be mixed with a squad leader, and even one percent of those who are still small soldiers are not even a percent, but this kid doesn't even have the opportunity to run, and he can be regarded as unlucky.

Seeing that Zaizhao didn't speak, Bato said with a blushing face: "Battalion commander, can you plead for me in front of the military gate and repay the guilt with merit." ”

"It is a common practice in the military to make meritorious contributions." Zai Zhao said with a smile: "However, there is no such thing as interceding first and then making meritorious service, if your kid really makes meritorious service, the battalion commander will definitely intercede for you." ”

"Camp Commander Xie!" Bato hurriedly stood upright, "If there is really a war, I will definitely earn a war and come back!" ”

The battleship docked, and after each company got off the ship, they were busy with the roll call of the whole team, Zai Zhao looked up and saw Chen Hongming, the commander of the second regiment, coming to the dock with a group of officers, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, is it necessary to increase the training task?

After Yi Zhizu left Dinghai, the training of recruits was naturally in charge of Chen Hongming, the head of the second regiment left behind, Chen Hongming was born in Yuan Qiyixue, a poor child, and he had no good impression of a group of noble children of the Eight Banners of the Clan, not only worried that they would bring the first batch of recruits of the Nanyang Navy, but also dissatisfied with their children to seize control of the navy, so that the requirements for them were extremely strict, and it could even be said that they were perverted, all the recruits, whether they were the children of the Eight Banners of the Clan Jueluo or the children of the Zhuang family who were recruited, There is no one who is not afraid of him.

Seeing him coming, Zaizhao also reacted subconsciously, and wanted to increase the training task, but he had to go up and salute and said: "The third battalion of the first regiment of the navy has returned from training at sea, and is assembling, please ask the regiment commander for instructions." ”

Chen Hongming returned a military salute and said, "Go back to the camp to rest." ”

Back to camp to rest? So easy to talk to? Jaezhao wondered if he had heard it wrong? Isn't Baba's coming over an extra training task? Lang answered, he saluted and left, and when he led the team back to the mountainside camp, he found that a large fleet appeared on the sea, it turned out that Chen Hongming went to the dock to greet him.

This huge fleet has at least fifty or more large and small warships, as well as a large number of merchant ships, estimated at about 100 ships, when have a group of recruits seen such a large fleet, as soon as the news spread, all the recruits in the camp poured out to see the excitement and discussions.

"All Western warships, are they from our Qing Dynasty?"

"Didn't you see that all the sea soul flags were hoisting on the ship? Who's not from our Qing Dynasty? ”

"Obediently, when did we have such a large fleet in the Qing Dynasty, I thought it was just a few ships in our military port."

"You are really lonely and unheard, this must be the return of the fleet that conquest for Annan, Annan has now ceded land and paid reparations, and there is a truce."

"Now, our naval base camp is lively."

"What's hilarious? You don't use your brains to think about it, with such a large fleet, let's set the sea capacity? Look, there's going to be a big battle to be fought for! ”

"I haven't seen the military gate back, what big battle can there be?"

"Who said the military gate didn't come back? The military gate is in Shanghai! ”

"Isn't it good to have a fight? I train every day, day and night, and I've been holding back my strength for a long time! ”

"What is said is that it is a good thing to have a war, and if you go to sea to fight, the military salary can be doubled."

Some people are looking forward to being able to go to sea to fight, but most of the officers and soldiers are silent, everyone knows that fighting is to kill people, and for them who are still new soldiers, the casualties may be even greater.

This huge fleet was composed of Yuan Qi's fleet and the Western fleet of the Guangdong Navy, which can be said to be all the belongings of the entire Qing Navy, and all of them were gathered in Dinghai with the order of Yi Zhi.

The next day, Yi Zhishu rushed from Shanghai to Dinghai, and all the regimental-level officers rushed to the dock to greet him, and General Mai Tingzhang, the leading general of the Guangdong Navy Division, led a group of generals dressed in military attache robes to stand in a group of officers wearing new-style naval and army uniforms, and he was very uncomfortable.

Not only was he uncomfortable, but a group of military attachés felt uncomfortable, and they seemed to have a taste of being out of place, and the guerrilla Wang Min said in a low voice: "Shen Rong, can you talk to Yi Junmen about directly incorporating our Guangdong Navy Division into the Nanyang Navy ......." ”

Someone immediately chimed in: "It's time to say that our Guangdong sailors and Yuanqi Tuan have joined forces to fight a few times, and they should be regarded as a family." ”

"Let's talk about it after this battle." Mai Tingzhang said softly, saying so, but he had no bottom in his heart, it stands to reason that the imperial court should have directly merged the Guangdong Navy into the Nanyang Navy a long time ago, but he has not seen any movement for a long time, and he doesn't know if he wants to use the Guangdong Navy to contain the Nanyang Navy.

This time he led the Western fleet of the Guangdong Navy Division to Dinghai, in the name of escorting the merchant fleet, whether he could participate in the battle of the Eastern Expedition to the Japanese Kingdom, he did not have the bottom at all, to be honest, he missed the first battle of Jiangnan and the first battle of Annan, he was like a cat scratching in his heart, he really did not want to miss the opportunity of the Eastern Expedition, following Yuan Qi, it should not be said that it was the navy to go on the expedition, it was simply picking up war merits, and it was a pity to miss it again and again.

In the cabin of the "Feiyan", Yi Zhizhi looked at the large and small warships densely moored in the harbor in front of him, and his heart was both excited and proud, these Western warships were almost all poured by his hands - bought and captured in exchange, this is all the belongings of the Qing Navy, although they are all sail warships that are about to be eliminated, but the Eastern Expedition to the Japanese Kingdom should be more than enough.

At that time, Citigroup could force the Wa Kingdom to open its country with four ironclad ships, and if his huge fleet of fifty Western warships still couldn't defeat Edo, he should buy a piece of tofu and kill him!
