28. Before returning to Beijing (3)
After two quarters of an hour, the emperor woke up and called Chen Shengwen: "How long have I been asleep?" ”
"After a while," Chen Shengwen said, "it was about half an hour. ”
"What about Wang Qingqi?"
"When he saw the emperor sleeping, he also retreated," Chen Shengwen carefully served the sour bamboo shoots and crucian carp soup, "Lord Wang asked the servants to prepare this soup, long live the master to taste it?" ”
"Well," the Emperor took a sip, feeling his annoyance relieved slightly, "Is there any news?" ”
"There is a letter from the Beiyang Naval Division, the slave originally wanted to wake up the emperor, but Lord Wang said that it was not in the way, and let it go."
"Well," the emperor nodded, "bring it up and show it to me," the emperor took the fold and opened it to look at it, "and then call Jiang Zhongyuan." ”
"Huh."
Woo woo woo ~ The whistle sounded violently, and several warships like ancient monsters sailed into the port of Nagasaki, this is the first time that the Beiyang Naval Division has been to Japan, and the gray iron armor is the most terrifying weapon in the world, so it fills all the eyes of everyone in the port, except for the sky and the earth, there are only these giant beasts on the sea! The Japanese coolies who were carrying goods on the port with their heads tied to them were dumbfounded, and one of them screamed and hurriedly fled in the direction of the land, "The demon warship of the Westerners is here again!" ”
The soldiers in the harbor ran to the lookout out of breath, "Big Pavilion! The Chinese warships did not obey the order and broke into the port of Nagasaki! He pointed to a man desperately waving a signal flag at a lighthouse not far away, "I don't obey the command at all!" ”
The Vice-Chancellor of the Navy on the lookout put down his glasses silently, his expression was silent, but the hand holding the glasses was bruised, "They have the strength to dare not listen to the signal command," he seemed to see a Mount Tai pressing down on the cabinet and overpowering the head of the Admiralty. "Let all the ships get out of the berths, and don't collide with the Chinese fleet!" ”
The soldier hurriedly gave the order, and the Admiralty Vice-Chancellor slowly stood up, "I need to go and meet the Chinese officials." ”
The Undersecretary of the Navy waited on the dock for a while. The warship led by the big horn stopped, and there were two rows of soldiers on it, all of them with tanned skin and shiny, and their expressions were fierce, and they looked at the Japanese soldiers who greeted them with disdain, and suddenly there was a cannon shot, and with a boom, the expression of the deputy minister of the navy changed drastically, looking at the black fire that exploded in mid-air. What are these Chinese going to do?
The Japanese soldiers on the ground were in an uproar, and many of them had already drawn their scimitars from their waists, and the scorching sun on the seashore made people sweat.
Only the Qing soldiers were still standing straight, still looking at the panicked Japanese soldiers with sneering faces, and suddenly a few more cannon shots, and a middle-aged military attache wearing a lion uniform came down from the ladder, except for the soldiers who were on guard. The rest of the soldiers brushed and knelt on one knee. "Greetings to the Admiral!" ”
Peng Yulin got off the deck without being angry, and there were several consecutive cannon shots, no one spoke around the shock, and the venue was very silent, and the Japanese Vice Minister of the Navy Keyaki stepped forward three times and bowed slightly. "On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and the Cabinet of Japan, I welcome the Admiral to the Kingdom of Japan."
Peng Yulin nodded slightly, "Thank you." ”
"However, it seems that there are some waves in your country, firing shells in Japanese ports, although these shells are empty." The Admiralty said dissatisfiedly, "I also hope that the Admiral will give an explanation." ”
"The boys just want to shoot the cannons. The minister doesn't have to worry too much," Peng Yulin smiled slightly, and said casually, "I heard that your country is very suspicious of the level of my Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty, but I just don't care about the villain, but the sons and daughters are very angry, and they must compare with your country," the face of the Vice Minister of the Navy changed drastically, Peng Yulin picked up Chaozhu and played with it, without looking at the expression of the Japanese Vice Minister of the Navy, "Naturally, the two countries cannot be allowed to fight, so I told them not to act rashly, who knows, these people also put on such a posture, It's really young and vigorous. Peng Yulin waved his hand, letting the commander of the main pipe belt behind him follow, and a group of people looked at the Japanese officials led by the Vice Minister of the Navy with blazing eyes, "It's just a salute, the minister is not surprised, right?" ”
"No," the Vice Minister of the Navy was furious in his heart, but he couldn't show anything on his face, "The arrival of your navy, we are very welcome from all over the country, especially your warship is going to be painted in the port of Nagasaki, the port of Nagasaki has long been prepared," the vice minister of the navy seemed to be very timid in front of Peng Yulin, and without saying a few polite words, he said the business straightforwardly, "Get ready to paint your lord's warship, everything is ready," the vice minister of the navy greeted the official and took out a document," Here's the memo. ”
"It doesn't matter, you can just talk to my clerk," Peng Yulin raised his eyebrows, "I am returning from the waters of Sakhalin, but I have one thing to ask your country, I don't know if you can give advice, minister." ”
"Please show me the Admiral."
"Last month, an unknown armed boat made an accident at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River and killed a lot of fishermen.
The Vice Minister of the Navy looked serious, "How does Japan know what is happening in your waters?" However, we deeply sympathize with and strongly condemn it. ”
"Your tone, minister, is very good in dealing with foreigners in the future." Peng Yulin said sarcastically, "Since you don't know about this, it doesn't hurt to tell the minister, this armed ship is flying the Russian flag, it seems that outsiders think it's all Russia's ghosts," Peng Yulin rolled up his sleeves, squinted his eyes and continued, the lion embroidered with gold thread on his chest was not angry and arrogant, but made a mighty appearance of wanting to fight people, "However, Russia does not have a warship and navy here, and the governor of Siberia only wants to fight us to the death on land, and has no time to estimate the sea, besides, They won't send an inexplicable ship to attack these places in Temple Street for no reason, I don't know where this ship came from, but I suddenly remembered the previous story, minister, you must have heard it, what is it called, yes, it's called Taozhuang Li Dai, isn't it? Isn't it your country's spending? Thinking that the snipe and the clam are competing with each other, and Japan is profiting from the fishermen in the Northeast? ”
"There is absolutely no such thing," said the Vice Minister of the Navy hurriedly, "and your country will never waver in its desire to maintain peace and stability in Asia together with Japan." ”
A military attache in Peng Yulin's right hand quietly sneered to show his disdain, and Peng Yulin looked at the Vice Minister of the Navy, "If it weren't for your country's handiwork, then it would be fine." (To be continued.) )
