Chapter 372: Fusang Ronin
The state daily newspaper carried out the journey of Raywell, Bao Ling, Bouron and Adams to Beijing, and it must have been followed in a few months. After all, the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom couldn't hurry up to avoid it. Now, just escorting Rael and Bao Ling and others has set off a huge Lang, and more and more scholars have submitted articles to Guangzhou Daily to express their opinions, and Wei Yuan selected one of them to publish and make Kyushu Daily prosperous.
The fleet of the North British and French forces of Rawell and others also left.
Li Zhen had just arrived in Guangzhou, busy dealing with the elderly and the Tiandi Society, thinking that Rawell and others were in his hands, and Li Zhen was not worried about the departure of the Anglo-French fleet. Xianfeng took the initiative to order people to take away Raer, Bao Ling and others, and beat Li Zhen by surprise and could not subdue the fleet of the British and French forces in time.
In this way, the opportunity to strengthen the water division was missed.
Li Zhen was disappointed but began to vigorously govern Guangzhou. Without the Heaven and Earth Society, without the constraints of the elderly, Li Zhen developed Guangzhou according to his own ideas.
Compared with Li Zhenchun, the spring breeze is proud, but the elderly are bleak.
Out of this file of the Heaven and Earth Society, Qi Ling took the initiative to resign as the governor of Guangdong. Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, appointed Li Zhen as the temporary governor of Guangdong to preside over the overall situation of Guangdong. The elderly lost their official position and lost their only nephew, and they were sick at home, and their health deteriorated, and they ate less and less every day.
On August 29, he died of depression in Guangzhou.
The mourning hall for the elderly who died of illness was set up in the governor's yamen.
Li Zhen was only a temporary acting governor appointed by Ye Mingchen, and he did not receive orders from Xianfeng, and still lived in the Admiral's Mansion. Qi Ling was the governor of Guangdong before his death, so Ye Mingchen allowed Qi Ling's family to set up a mourning hall in the governor's yamen.
Early in the morning, people went to the governor's yamen one after another to pay respects.
The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out one after another.
The sound of crying lingered in the air of the governor's yamen.
Li Zhen sat alone in the study, and after a while, he would hear the sound of firecrackers, and he would be irritable and had no intention of dealing with political affairs. Ye Cheng hurriedly walked in and reported: "My lord, Governor Ye is waiting for you in the hall. ”
After Li Zhen left the study and entered the hall, he looked at Ye Mingchen with some surprise.
At this moment, Ye Mingchen was dressed neatly, wearing an official hat, wearing a court dress, and hanging a court bead, as if he was a formal court.
Li Zhen bowed his hand and said, "Is there anything going on with the presence of the Governor?" ”
Ye Mingchen sat down in the hall and said solemnly: "Although Qi Ling was Admiral Li's political enemy during his lifetime, the two sides also fought with each other, but when people died, the battle was already a thing of the past. Anyway, everyone is a colleague, Admiral Li will go with me to the governor's yamen to pay respects. ”
Li Zhen pondered for a moment but didn't want to go.
Thinking that Wanfu was taken hostage by the people of the Heaven and Earth Society, Li Zhen did not rescue, resulting in Wanfu being killed. Qi Ling lost his official position because of Li Zhen, and was so depressed that he died of illness after being bedridden. The two sides have long formed a hatred, and Li Zhen is obviously looking for himself to get along again.
Ye Mingchen insisted: "Let's go, no matter what, you should go." ”
Li Zhen thought for a while and nodded and said, "Lord Governor, wait a little for the lower officials to change their clothes." ”
In fact, Li Zhen also knew in his heart that no matter what the elderly family thought of him, what he should do or do must have a posture. Qi Ling was the governor of Guangdong before his death, he was the admiral, and the two were colleagues, so Li Zhen had to go. After a short time, Li Zhen changed into a white suit and came out to go to the governor's yamen with Ye Mingchen. When Li Zhen and Ye Mingchen appeared at the gate of the governor's yamen, the faces of the people who greeted them changed greatly, and their eyes showed a fierce light in their eyes when they looked at Li Zhen.
This man's name was Duande, and he was the son of Qi Ling.
When the elderly came to Guangzhou to take up his post, he only brought a family member, his wife and concubine, and his daughter all stayed in his hometown, and his son Duande also guarded the ancestral business in his hometown. The elderly were ill in Guangzhou, and Duan Decai hurried over, and within a few days, the elderly died of illness.
"Li Zhen, you still have the face to get out, we don't welcome you."
Duande didn't speak, and the squire spoke first.
Li Zhen dusted off his robe and said, "I am very sad that the elderly died of illness. When he died, the official naturally wanted to come and pay his respects. "It's already at the door, Li Zhen can't be scolded and turn around and leave, he can't afford to lose this person.
The attendant sneered again: "The cat cries and the mouse is fake mercy! ”
Li Zhen said with a serious expression: "This official came to pay tribute to the elderly, and there is no falsehood in his sincerity. It is true that Qi Ling and I are political enemies, and we also fight with each other, but we are both upright and upright, and we do not use the means of indiscriminate. The elder is loyal to the emperor, he is a member of the emperor, and his ability is also admired by the officials. Believe it or not, I believe in myself. In any case, I have to give the elderly a stick of incense today. ”
"Let him in!"
Duande stared at Li Zhen, and with a wave of his hand, the subordinate immediately made a way.
Li Zhen and Ye Mingchen entered the incense together, and the two left the governor's yamen together. Li Zhen returned to the Admiral's Mansion, and before his butt was made in the study, the king of the king ran in like a wind. Wang Xiaoyang stumbled, his legs trembled a little when he ran, and he had an anxious look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Li Zhen thought to himself what had happened, and Wang Xiaoyang, who was indifferent, turned out to be like this.
"Hongyi, your sister was arrested!"
Wang Xiaoyang immediately said loudly after standing still.
"Boom!!"
Li Zhen's brain recovered from a daze and asked, "What's going on with my brother-in-law?" ”
Wang Xiaoyang frowned, reached out and took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Li Zhen, and said anxiously: "I went to look for your sister today, and I saw such a letter in the room. The letter said that your sister was arrested by the Japanese Lang people and needed you to come forward to solve it. ”
Li Zhen glanced at it quickly, and his face became extremely solemn.
The person who captured Li Xiaotong was a Japanese Lang from the sea.
The goal of these Lang people was actually Li Zhen's capture of Li Xiaotong, and Li Zhen was asked to prepare 3,000 guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. Wang Xiaoyang was worried in his heart, and seeing that Li Zhen didn't speak, he said hurriedly: "Brother, they only need 3,000 guns and 100,000 bullets to give them, and the most important thing is to save your sister." ”
Li Zhen shook his head lightly and said, "Brother-in-law's 3,000 guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition are not worth mentioning to me now. I thought about what if I was given 3,000 guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition and didn't save my sister. ”
Wang Xiaoyang was immediately dumbfounded when he heard this.
His mind was full of Li Xiaotong's safety, and he couldn't concentrate on analyzing things.
Li Zhen looked at the content of the note and said: "The Japanese Lang people asked for the first goods in the port of Guangzhou, and my sister asked me to prepare two big ships to transport the goods, which was obviously premeditated." Things are very troublesome, and if you want to save your sister, you have to discuss it carefully. ”
Wang Xiaoyang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and said, "Brother, what can you do?" ”
At this time, Li Zhen was like a life-saving straw king lamb, desperately dragging to death.
ps: the second shift; There are only two understandings today. Xiaodong has not opened the book for two more so far, but the next plot does not dare to be sloppy. This chapter was written for nearly three hours, and everyone gave me some time to sort out the plot and outline. There are a lot of plots in my head, but it's very messy, and I can't sort it out. When I opened the book, I wanted to write about the plot of beating the Russian Hercules and repairing the little Nik-Ben, and I should be careful and allow me to take a break. Well, that's pretty much it. [Serial.]
