The warship was sailing slowly, and the billowing smoke produced by the ship dyed the azure sky dark green all of a sudden, and from a distance, it made people feel that a heavy rain was coming soon.

Above the warship, from time to time, a flock of seagulls will appear, and after flying with the fleet below for some time, they will disappear again into the distance.

On the deck of the Hashidate, I looked at the dozen or so Lushun merchant ships surrounded by a tight fleet not far away. Take a deep breath. Liu Jun turned around and looked at Li He, who was standing in front of him.

"After a few hours, we're going our separate ways." Liu Jun looked at the fleet that was sailing lightly.

Li He frowned suddenly, stepped forward and asked nervously, "Dashuai won't go to Guangzhou with us?" ”

Liu Jun looked at Li He, who looked puzzled, and nodded slightly, which was considered an acknowledgement.

After leaving Lushun for so long, Liu Jun already wanted to go back as soon as possible, and he told Zhong Lin that he could return in a few days, but now, it has been nearly twenty days.

Zhong Lin is an expert in charge of intelligence, but in military affairs, it is very mediocre, this time let him take charge of military affairs, is Ben plans to return to Lushun immediately after giving the drawings to Pei Yinsen, but the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that such a thing would happen in Nanyang and delay his trip back.

Although he warned Zhong Lin when he left that he was undecided militarily and could ask Tianjin, but what did Tianjin say, it was also separated from Lushun by a sea, which also had too many inconveniences, and there would be too many misunderstandings in communication.

Now that the affairs of Nanyang have been settled, there is nothing to do in Guangzhou, so it is better to return to Lushun with the merchant ship.

Li He has no objection to this. After all, now that the Northeast has just been flat, many things still need to be dealt with by Liu Jun, but it is just that the bucket has no protection for the merchant ship to return to Lushun, and Li He is not at ease. What to say, first, I want to transfer a warship and escort Liu Jun back.

"Dashuai, if you go back, your subordinates will not object, but you must be accompanied by a naval ship, otherwise, I will not let Dashuai get off the bridge."

With such a resolute look, there is no look that can be refused, Liu Jun also knew in his heart that this was a good intention from you and again, so he did not object, but nodded and said: "It's okay, just let Pingyuan go back with me." As for the rest, I'll go with you to Guangzhou. ”

"When are you going to separate?" You and ask a very important question that he needs to arrange.

"The waters of Guangzhou."

Woowoo...... Woowoo...... After entering the dark sands of Zengmu, the sailor fleet sailed for nearly five hours, and finally encountered the Guangdong sailor who was patrolling.

When the two sides meet, they inevitably fire a salute to each other, after all, they are both Huaxia's fleet.

The periphery of the sea area of Guangzhou. Liu Jun, who was dressed in military uniform, glanced at Li He who was standing in front of him, and smiled slightly: "The sailor will be handed over to you, and you will return immediately after the beginning of spring, after all, in the northern sea, you are still needed to deter Xiaoxiao." ”

Li He nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will immediately lead the whole ship back to Lushun." After Li He finished speaking, he saluted Liu Jun solemnly.

Liu Jun nodded, inspected the patrol ship under the leadership of the patrol ship of the Guangdong Naval Division, and looked at the merchant ships heading north that were already starting to split the route, as well as the Pingyuan not far away and the Beiyang Naval Division that was moving forward, sighed, Liu Jun pulled up Aixinjue Luo Ruojing, and with the help of the sailors, got down to the dinghy, and then with the help of the sailors of the Pingyuan, got on the Pingyuan.

The speed of the merchant ships and the Pingyuan was relatively low, and along the way, this fleet, which was dominated by a shopping mall, only slowly headed for the brigade along the coastline towards Lushun at the speed of the Liu family.

After most of the day's voyage, the fleet reached the waters of Fuzhou, Fujian. The fleet, which has not been replenished with fresh water and coal for a long time, is coupled with Liu Jun to unload some pig iron steel. After arriving in the waters of Fuzhou, the Pingyuan sent a signal to the patrol ship of the Fujian Navy Division to request to enter the port to refuel coal and replenish fresh water.

Taking advantage of the time for the fleet to add water and unload, Liu Jun came to Pei Yinsen's mansion again, and the housekeeper was a merchant ship, and he warmly received Liu Jun and Aixin Jueluo Ruojing and his party. However, Liu Jun didn't see Pei Yinsen, and after inquiring, he learned that Pei Yinsen would not go home for a few days now, and he was living in the dock.

It turned out that when Pei Yinsen got Liu Jun's drawings and knew that he was going to build this warship, he knew that with the current dock, there would be no room for a hull of more than 100 meters, so on the second day of Liu Jun's departure, Pei Yinsen, who was anxious, urgently summoned the officials and workers of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau to start renovating the dock and preparing to start construction.

Liu Jun wanted to see Pei Yinsen, so after making a request to the housekeeper, the housekeeper was very enthusiastic and took Liu Jun and the others to the Fuzhou Wharf of the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau.

I don't know, one to the next day, more than 20 days of cold and deserted wharf, now it is a sea of people, many migrant workers are pushing up the cart, picking up the burden, under the command of the construction workers, a lot of sand and sea mud are transported to the side, although there is already a certain chill in the Ran Fujian area, but Liu Jun found that these people are wearing a gown, sweating profusely.

Through the crowd, Liu Jun finally found Pei Yinsen who was picking up the drawings at the dredger.

"Pei Lao." Liu Jun saw Pei Yinsen with a gray beard, and took the lead in stepping forward to greet him affectionately.

Pei Yinsen, who was directing the construction with the map, turned his head to see that it was Liu Jun, and immediately felt overjoyed, and after handing the map to a six-grade official on the side, Pei Yinsen took Liu Jun to the place where he now lives, a dormitory, with a kind face.

The dormitory consisted of a bed, a seat and some necessary chairs, and some large boxes were stuffed into the dormitory, making the already modest plain color even more cramped.

Aixinjue Luo Ruojing is no longer the arrogant Gege she used to be, and she went to cut tea for Liu Jun and Pei Yinsen in person. She sat next to Liu Jun, holding her cheeks with both hands and looking at Liu Jun.

When Pei Yinsen saw Liu Jun, he was already very surprised, he patted his head violently, and said to Liu Jun with a smile on his face: "The old man gave you a gift, and after speaking, he turned around and walked outside." A few minutes later, Pei Yinsen picked up a box that looked a little heavy and came in and put it on the table, signaling Liu Jun to open it.

"The Shade Forest." Liu Jun immediately saw that what was contained inside was actually his own revised Izumo model. Made of iron in a certain proportion, it's no wonder it looks so heavy.

Smiling slightly, Liu Jun took a closer look, covered the box and said with a smile: "I also have a big gift for Pei Lao." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he took out a drawing from his sleeve.

Pei Yinsen's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the drawings, and he immediately came to the light. Tearing open the drawings violently, Pei Yinsen was suddenly petrified on the spot. The eyes are not moving.

A condensed version of a dreadnought battleship. If this kind of battleship can't fascinate this warship maniac, Liu Jun really can't think of anything else that can make him obsessed.

"If the old man can see such an ironclad ship launched, he can be blind to death, and he can also be worthy of his ancestors and ancestors." Speaking of this, Pei Yinsen had already knelt on the ground. Two lines of hot tears flammable fall.

Liu Jun smiled slightly in his heart, what he wanted was such an effect, this drawing was actually used by him to tempt Pei Yinsen, so as to persuade him to go to Lushun Shipyard to preside over the overall situation in the future.

With a serious face, Liu Jun pulled up Pei Yinsen: "Pei Lao, this kind of warship, I have spent a lot of effort, you must keep it properly, no one is allowed to show it, in the future, this kind of ironclad ship, Pei Lao can come to Lushun Shipyard to preside over the construction." ”

"The old man will definitely go to Lushun and build this kind of ironclad ship for the marshal." Pei Yinsen wiped away his tears and looked at the picture again.

Smiling slightly, Liu Jun nodded, pulled Pei Yinsen down in front of the table, and took out a drawing from his sleeve again.

In fact, this is the purpose of Liu Jun today.
