That night, He Ruzhang wrote the following words in his diary:

"Although Japan came from China, it has been living for a long time, and the atmosphere is very different. Most of the men are wise and the women are wise, the shape is thin and soft. Those who are known for their martial arts, outside of Satsuma Prefecture, only Ishimi, Nagato, and others are not as good as others. Civilian farming, humble businessman. The handicraft is still skillful, carved lacquer porcelain and copper work, small and beneficial work. The structure of the residence, the joy and twists and turns, the lack of macroscopic wholeness, the terrain makes it so? Approaching European customs, from the government to the school, all systems, utensils, languages, and writings are based on Taixi. And the old people, the unambitious, there are still old habits, light Chinese studies, concrete and concrete to the old customs of self-defense. ”

"It's Kagoshima and see Saigo Gong Takamori. Xixiang Gong, the name is prosperous, the number is Nanzhou, and the Sa people are also brave and good soldiers, rich in strategy, and far-sighted. When the feudal domain was abolished, he was promoted to army general with the merit of King Qin. Saigo once discussed attacking Goryeo and ruling it. Go to the official and return to Sa, set up a private school, and invite the wise men to teach Chinese and Western learning. In addition to the Japanese, there are also many cadres and Westerners, and they have won the hearts of the people. There is a famous Lin Yiqing, who looks and acts quite similar to the late Lin Wenxianggong, and now teaches in Xixiang, and is very suspicious, there are such similar people in the world? …… Yu Mei Yunqing and Kaixing, sudden blood collapse, dying of illness, Xixiang has an adopted daughter named Kirino Chiho, the daughter of General Kirino Liqiu, wisdom and beauty, fine tea art, medical Taoism, heard the envoy to save it, Lin asked and asked questions outside the door to help, taught the art of acupuncture, Yu Mei stopped bleeding and lived, Yu Xin was very relieved. …… If Saigo's men and women are like this, the speed of Japan's prosperity is not for no reason......"

Seven days later, off the coast of Kagoshima, a sea exercise was underway.

"Bearing 122! …… Distance 3! …… Fire! ”

When a 100-millimeter Farvause breech gun and an 80-millimeter breech gun on the "Raiden Maru" training ship opened fire, a burst of fire flashed on the training ship, and several waves flashed near the target ship, and both shells were lost.

"Full throttle, full speed ahead! ……”

After the order came from the mouth of Second Lieutenant Hikonosei Uemura, another order came out.

"Six-inch shells of enemy ships hit the first deck gun position! The artillery commander is killed! Five people were injured! ”

The first mate beside him immediately spoke.

"Carry the body of the gun commander to the officer's room! Wounded soldiers transported into the cabin! ……”

A succession of orders came out of the mouth of the first mate, and a simple target shooting training was added by Hikonojo Uemura, which imitated battlefield casualties through verbal expression, in order to train the cadets of the Marine Academy and the newly recruited sailors in their battlefield response capabilities.

"The second artillery commander is going to command the gun emplacements on the first deck! Fire at maximum rate of fire! Enemy ships enter the artillery firing zone and do not have to wait for orders! Fire now! ……”

After a long while, as bullet holes appeared one after another on the canvas of the target drag, and the orders of the training officers became proficient, Uemura Hikoyuki felt a little satisfied.

Born in Kagoshima, Hikonojo Uemura graduated from the 4th class of the Japanese Naval Academy, and served on ships such as "Tsukuba", "Unyang", and "Raiden Maru". This is the first ocean-going training of the "Raiden Maru" training ship, after this gunnery training, the next thing is the open-sea cruising training, sailing to the ocean has always been the dream of the gunboat captain Uemura Hikonojo, but he never thought that his first ocean-going was on the training ship, not the cruiser he imagined.

"Ring the ship's bell and the battle is over."

After the crisp ship bell rang, Hikonosei Uemura saw the ship "Chiyodagata", which played the role of an enemy ship, sending a flag.

"Five hits."

The people on the deck who were waiting anxiously saw that five shots had been hit, and they immediately sighed, they fired a total of 50 shells, but only 5 hits, just reaching a 10 percent hit rate, if it was on the battlefield, the hit rate would only be worse under the interference of enemy ship fire.

"Hits are earned with sweat! Hurry! …… Train now! ”

"Training! Training! Training! For His Majesty the Emperor! For Japan! ”

After a sigh, the training ship was boiling again, and the Japanese sailors and officers were once again conducting intense training according to the training subjects.

While they were training, Uemura Hikonosei walked out of the bridge and looked north, he knew that today was the first day of the Naval Officer Academy, and he had a faint expectation in his heart for this naval officer school, which could be said to be the common expectation of every naval officer in the Navy who was born in the Satsuma Domain.

Although the Battle of Moss Bay failed, and the Japanese Navy lost all its capital ships, and it can almost be said that it was completely annihilated, Uemura Hikonojo believed that as long as the naval school was still there, the Japanese Navy would not perish!

"I wish Kagoshima could change everything!"

While Hikoyuki Uemura was looking forward to it, the "Raiden Maru" began to return.

"Raiden Maru" slowly sailed into Kinko Bay, and at this time, Uemura Hikonoki didn't know that on the cliff in the distance, two people were looking at their small exercise fleet.

"I can't imagine that although the Japanese people have been defeated in Fujian and Taiwan, they still diligently pay attention to the sailors." He Ruzhang looked at the Japanese warships sailing in the sea, and said in a deep voice, "And I, the Great Dry Water Division, since Lin Wenxiang passed away, I am afraid that I will be stuck again." ”

"Yes! As soon as Lin Wenxiang goes, he will be a big enemy for Japan! Lin Yiqing sighed.

He Ruzhang heard Lin Yiqing talking about Lin Yizhe, looked at the back of the Japanese warship that was gradually moving away on the sea, and was silent for a while.

Since that day, after Lin Yiqing helped Chiho Kirino save He Yunqing's life with acupuncture to stop bleeding, He Ruzhang was grateful, and he had a love for Lin Yiqing, and wanted to recruit him to return to China to serve, so that when the two were alone, they would make temptations from time to time.

Now, he can be sure that Lin Yiqing is thinking about his homeland.

"Lord He came here to Dongying, what he heard and saw, he must have been deeply touched." Lin Yiqing said again.

"Han Peng, since you know the intentions of the Japanese, why do you want to join the Japanese camp, teach their combat skills, and use them for the Japanese?" Seeing that there was no one around, He Ruzhang immediately said the question that had existed in his heart for a long time, "I have been to the Naval Weapons Academy and saw that you taught Japanese combat skills, which are better than Western combat skills. Aren't you afraid that his mother country will be invaded by such Japanese soldiers? ”

"Lin is doing this, but he wants to be Zhu Xu'er." Lin Yiqing smiled, "Don't worry, my lord, the Japanese officers and soldiers I taught should be used by my cadres in the future, and they will definitely not be enemies of the cadres." ”

"Want to be Zhu Xu?" He Ruzhang, who had read history books, of course understood the meaning of the name "Zhu Xu", and his heart was shocked for a while.
