Chapter 104: The Flag Removal Incident That Occurred in Advance
At the beginning of November, the Beiyang Fleet, together with the accompanying training ships and troop carriers, finally arrived in Guangzhou. As the admiral of the Beiyang Naval Division, Ding Ruchang naturally wanted to have a meeting with the admiral of the Guangdong fleet and Li Hanzhang. And Xu Jie and the others stayed on the battleship and waited. Just when Xu Jie was standing on Zhiyuan and discussing the newly purchased cruiser in Beiyang with Deng Shichang, the admiral flag on the flagship was slowly lowering.
"Brother Jishi, how did this Admiral Flag change to the General Soldier Flag?" Deng Shichang said in shock when he saw it.
"The Admiral's Banner for the Commander's Flag?" Xu Jie muttered to himself, "Am I reliant, right?" A lot of words, Liu Zixiang actually began to crowd out Lang Weili now? Isn't that a year from now? ”。 The cold sweat on Xu Jie's head came down as soon as he brushed it. The resignation of Lang Weili was more harmful than beneficial to the Beiyang Fleet, which not only deprived Beiyang of a conscientious admiral, but also caused the relationship between the Beiyang Naval Division and the British Navy to drop to a freezing point. Later, Li Hongzhang invited another officer from the British Navy to serve in Beiyang...... As a result, it was categorically rejected by the British Navy, and did not accept any naval students from the Qing Kingdom. And after the loss of Luang Weili, a conscientious instructor, the training of the Beiyang Fleet became more and more lax. And Ding Ruchang, as the governor of Beiyang, was finally .........overturned by the Min Party led by Liu Buyun because he lost his powerful arm.
"Let's go, go to the house." Xu Jie didn't say a word, pulled up Deng Shichang and prepared to leave.
"Brother Jishi, I'm afraid this thing is abnormal." Deng Shichang said with some worry. "There's something strange about that. You'll have to hold back when the time comes. ”
"It's because of the oddity that we have to go." Xu Jie sneered. "This Liu Zixiang is really intolerant."
"This Fujian system is dominated by one party in Beiyang. I am afraid that there is Liu Zixiang's meaning behind this matter. Deng Shichang hurriedly pulled Xu Jie and said. If Jishi wants to do things in Beiyang. It's good that this Min party still can't be offended. ”
"Deng Gong is scared?" Xu Jie turned around and asked.
"Momentum. Even if Admiral Ding returns, which is more important, Luang Weili and the Beiyang Min family? Deng Shichang asked.
"It's not a question of which is more important, it's a question of right and wrong." Xu Jie said anxiously, "If this matter makes Deng Gong quite difficult, Deng Gong will not go." "Xu Jie is not sure of winning this matter, after all, history ended with Lang Weili leaving in a bad mood, Xu Jie is really not sure if Lao Li will give him this face. But the consequences of Lang Weili's resignation, whether it is training or the unfavorable situation caused by the external environment, are not what Xu Jie wants to see, so far, Xu Jie can only dial a hand, he even hopes that Liu Buyun can take a step back in the face of being Lao Li's protégé, but the development of things makes him .........unexpected.
"If Brother Ji really wants to go. I, Deng Shichang, naturally want to go with me. Deng Shichang's face changed color slightly, and then he said firmly.
Just when the two of them boarded Dingyuan, they heard Lang Weili's dissatisfied voice: "Admiral Ding left to do business, I am still here, why do you want to raise the general flag?" ”
"I have only one admiral in Beiyang, Your Excellency is just a teacher, and the admiral is not here, so he should naturally raise the general military flag." Liu Buyun said without changing his face.
"In the 12th year of Guangxu (1886), when King Alcohol inspected the Beiyang Naval Division, didn't the title of Admiral awarded to Lang Weili Teach Xi count?" Xu Jie said loudly. (It is a fact that the Admiral was conferred)
"Who should I be, it turned out to be Xu Jiaoxi. I'm afraid that Mr. doesn't need to interfere in the internal affairs of the Beiyang Fleet, right? A lot of words" Liu Buyun glanced at Xu Jie and said quite dissatisfied.
"Tianjin Sailor Academy and Beiyang Sailor are both using the funds allocated to Beiyang by the Qing Dynasty, why is it not considered Beiyang Sailor?" Xu Jie was also quite embarrassed, after all, a teacher and the general soldier quarreled, and the status was indeed a lot worse. …。
"Even if Your Excellency is a member of the Beiyang Naval Division, I'm afraid you don't have the right to interfere in this matter, right? A lot of words," Liu Buyun raised his eyebrows and said.
"How can you change the flag without authorization, and you are not afraid that Li Zhongtang will blame it?" Xu Jie said that Ding Ruchang would definitely not be able to suppress it, and he could only talk to Lao Li about this matter, and others would ......... in vain.
"Xu Jiaoxi, this matter is just a personal matter of Liu Zongbing and Lang Weili Jiaoxi, I'm afraid there is no need to expand." Lin Tai on the side once interjected. Lin Tai, a good old man, once planned to take it over in the spirit of turning big things into small things and small things into small things, after all, on one side is Lao Li's protégé, and on the other side is the right-wing general soldier of Beiyang. It's unpredictable to know the outcome of this meeting. Xu Jie lost, at most he lost his words. And if Liu Buyun loses, it will be a matter of military discipline.
"Lord Qiyu Zhongtang needs it, and I, Liu Zixiang, want to see when Beiyang has two admirals!!" Who knew that Liu Buyun did not flinch at all, and directly decided to fight this lawsuit with Xu Jie.
"Okay, then Xu is going to shoot a telegram." Xu Jie doesn't talk nonsense...... He arched his hand and turned to leave Dingyuan.
"Xu, thank you for your kindness, you don't need to be involved in this matter." Just as Xu Jie was about to leave, Lang Weili said in the back.
"Afraid of what? It's a big deal that I left Xu and continued to go to Italy to be my designer. Xu Jie turned around and smiled at Lang Weili and said. Immediately glanced at Liu Buyun, who was pale, Xu Jie continued to change his tone and said: "Time is really running out, at most 5 years, is there still interest in party disputes in Beiyang?" ”
Half an hour later, in addition to Fang Boqian, the pipe belt of the Jiyuan ship, and Deng Shichang, the pipe belt of the Zhiyuan ship. A series of Fujian pipes from Beiyang were concentrated in Liu Buyun's cabin, and everyone sat quietly, and no one spoke, after all, this matter was indeed a bit unexpected by everyone. Not only did Lang Weili not acquiesce to this fact, but even Xu Jie jumped out to oppose it. If you want to say that Xu Jie is a person, his official position is very low, if he is someone else, the pipes and bands of Beiyang may not even pay attention to it. But now this person does have the ability, and he is also Li Hongzhang's protégé, and he may take over the characters of Beiyang in the future. And it is said. Li Zhongtang already planned to put him in charge of the training of Beiyang's newly purchased warships from Italy. This is three new warships of nearly 5,000 tons, once in place, I am afraid it can be equivalent to increasing the combat power of Beiyang by nearly 50%. If Lord Zhongtang is willing, in addition to the left and right flank commanders, I'm afraid there will be another fast fleet commander, right? A lot of words are the candidates for the general soldier, naturally Xu Jie, and these pipe belts, pipe wheels, gunners and so on that Xu Jie pulled up with one hand will naturally buy Xu Jie's account and will not listen to Liu Buchan, the words .........of the Min Party.
"Zixiang, how are you going to deal with this matter?" Lin Tai once broke the silence and spoke.
"Naturally, I will report to Lord Zhongtang truthfully, and then I will refer to Xu Jie for one of the following crimes." Liu Zixiang said senran.
"Which incense is sure of victory?" Lin Taizeng continued to ask.
"Luang Weli is just a trainer. Without him, I, Liu Buyun, can do it, not to mention that as long as the Beiyang Naval Division should be controlled for my Qing Dynasty, I Liu will be invincible. Liu Buyun said confidently.
"How can Jishi be considered an outsider?" Lin Taizeng said expressionlessly.
"An American, who has been in Italy again, is an outsider." Liu Buyun said with disdain.
"Zixiang, this is a bit too much, there is no Jishi, I'm afraid that my Beiyang can't add such an elite warship, and part of my Beiyang's down payment is Jishi's pad!!" Lin Taizeng's face changed slightly.
"With some money, you can dictate to me in Beiyang? Why does Brother Lin want to speak for outsiders? "As the leader of the Fujian family, Liu Buchan, in the Beiyang Fleet, how can anyone dare to contradict him? Even Lin Taizeng, the chief soldier of the left wing, could not do it.
"Jishi lost, it's a big deal to leave. Continue to go to Italy or other countries to make money. If Zixiang loses, I'm afraid she won't be good, right? A lot of words, even if Li Zhongtang estimates the state of mind of the Fujian pipe belt in the Beiyang Fleet, he will not do anything about the world. After all, this ship and superintendent are meant to help the world. And this personnel will also be handed over to Jishi. Lin Taizeng's tone was already a little dissatisfied. …………。
"Superintendent, everyone can pick up the ship, without him, Italy will not sell the ship to the Qing Dynasty?" Liu Buyun's voice suddenly became a lot higher.
"Then it's up to Vittorio Cuniberti to buy your account." Lin Taizeng snorted coldly and said. "You know that this price is so low, there is no one who knows the inside story, do you want Zhenyuan to change the steel armor to the iron armor because of the price problem back then on my new Beiyang ship??"
"Ugh." Liu Buyun was stunned for a moment, to say that this Vittorio is really a lingering shadow in Lao Liu's heart. Since the first contact between the two sides, Lao Liu has been quite jealous of Vittorio and his party. Because Lao Liu always felt that in the eyes of the other party...... His own warships are so unpopular.
However, Liu Zixiang is not persuaded in a few words, he still decided to fight this lawsuit to the end, and he will fight it hard, "Everyone, who wants to join me in the book to the Tang Lord?" In the middle of the ring, Liu Buyun gave up his entanglement with Lin Taizeng and decided to directly unite with others.
"I also think that it is a bit too much to involve Xu Jiaoxi." Jing Yuan took Ye Zugui to hesitate, got up and said.
"Who else, to quit. It's still too late. Liu Buchan said with a blushing face.
And at the same time. In the captain's room of the Zhiyuan ship, Deng Shichang paced back and forth restlessly. In his opinion, the ......... in front of him.
This brother is really uninteresting, and he actually had a head-on conflict with the No. 1 real power figure in Beiyang for a person who doesn't want to do it, even if this person is Li Hongzhang's protégé, even if he is really talented. But here in the Beiyang Naval Division, if you want to make a career, it is really not a wise choice to fall out with the Min Party.
"Jishi, do you know that Liu Zixiang is ready to take the master of the book with a joint heavy pipe." Deng Shichang said with a gloomy face.
"Is that true?" A smile appeared on Xu Jie's face.
"Of course it's true. Lin Zongbing and Ye Guandao disagreed. also had a very unpleasant quarrel with Liu Zixiang. Deng Shichang wondered as he spoke, why was Xu Jie still happy when the Min Party united to put pressure on Lord Zhongtang? It can't be a brain rush, right? A lot of words "Jishi, are you sure to win this lawsuit?" Deng Shichang asked with concern.
"It used to be at most 5 percent, but now it's at least 8 percent, and the last time is also a win." Xu Jie threw the pencil in his hand and then said.
