Chapter 1 Bad Luck

A bad luck

"Li Hongzhang, you ignorant and shameless old bastard!"

Li Mo curled up in the dark and smelly cabin, holding dry food with white hair and swallowing dry saliva. While comforting Li Hongzhang's family, he muttered to himself, "Is this thing really edible?"

"Oh, I can't get through this day!"

Li Mo was depressed. He had just accepted the identity after crossing, but he didn't expect to become a prisoner immediately. This day really can't be passed. If he didn't want to die again, he would have been thinking about wiping his neck.

What caused all this was the old bastard named Li Hongzhang! Who is Li Hongzhang? Nonsense! Of course, you regard the so-called Eighth Navy of the World and the First Fleet of the Far East as the number one powerful minister of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang and Lord Li.

Of course, as the number one celebrity in the Qing Dynasty now, Li Hongzhang will not bully Li Mo, a 12-year-old child at present, and Li Mo has never seen this old "Li" celebrity, and he has no entangled with him at all. But why did he scold Li Hongzhang so much?

The problem will start from half a month ago. Half a month ago, Li Mo found that he was not only not dead, but also the son of Li Guotai, the Jinzhou guard of the Qing Dynasty and the Yellow Banner of the Han army.

Although Li Guotai is not a good person, his career in war, especially in several battles against Russia, he not only took the lead, but also his soldiers were not afraid of death, so he was also regarded as a personal object.

In particular, Jinzhouwei is close to Lushun Port. Since Li Hongzhang wanted to build Lushun into a Beiyang base, Jinzhouwei has been lively. Originally, Li Guotai had no problem with these. After all, he was an army and was completely out of line with the Beiyang sailors. Moreover, taking advantage of the wanton expansion of Lushun Port, Li Guotai also made a small profit. Of course, the biggest winner is, of course, Lord Li.

But the problem is that as Lushun Port is about to be completed, after a large number of naval troops began to move in, weapons and equipment continued to flow into the hands of the Japanese army in North Korea from the place under his jurisdiction, which annoyed Li Guotai. Although he is not a good bird, thinking that Li Guotai's parents were killed by Japanese invaders. The hatred is as deep as the sea. Did you sell it to others? The relationship was actually sold to the Japanese!

Li Guotai, who was furious, didn't think much at all. He was ready to fold it overnight, but he didn't expect that the matter would be exposed, especially these things were actually related to Prince Chun, who was in charge of naval affairs. Who is Prince Chun? That was the number one powerful minister in the Qing Dynasty. Even today's Guangxu Emperor Yanjing was his son, but naturally there was nothing to say.

And the unlucky Li Mo crossed to Li Guotai's seriously ill son of the same name at this time. Originally, with his arrival, Li Mo's body was getting better day by day. Seeing that his young master Li's spring was coming, he especially thought that if he could hit the line of the Beiyang Marine Division close at hand, with his naval engineering The teacher's ability, that's not...!

Before Li Mo's mouth dripped down, Li Guotai suddenly received a warning. It turned out that he thought that he had offended Prince Chun and was not afraid. Because this matter involved the sailor, Li Hongzhang would naturally not give up. What's more, what was reselling was the arms of his Beiyang sailor, digging up Li Hongzhang's heart. Unexpectedly, Li Hongzhang not only Instead of asking Prince Chun, he ordered the Beiyang sailors to take the initiative to arrest Li Guotai.

Although he is a soldier, Li Guotai is not a fool. He immediately knew that Li Hongzhang must have made a choice between Prince Chun and himself for his own interests, but Li Guotai couldn't figure out why Li Hongzhang condoned such a thing!

Li Guotai couldn't figure it out, but Li Mo knew that in order to firmly control his largest political capital, the Beiyang navy, in his hands, Li Hongzhang was far less selfless. He not only arranged his confidant, the Taiping army to surrendered generals, and Ding Ruchang, who was born in the army, commanded the navy, but also placed a large number of people loyal to him. It's all from his door.

And in order not to be criticized for supporting soldiers, in exchange, a large number of children of the Eight Banners were appointed. These people not only did not understand naval warfare, but also used their full force to embezzle military pay and resell munition. Finally, the Beiyang broke the Yellow Sea, and even lost the First Sino-Japanese War, which was related to the fate of the country.

What's more, Prince Chun is managing the naval affairs office at this moment. This is not only a super fat shortage, but also the pocket of the Beiyang sailor. It is a mistake for Li Hongzhang to fail to take this position. What's more, for his own interests, he can only sacrifice Li Guotai at this moment.

At this time, Li Guotai also knew that he would die, so he quickly sold all his family property and arranged several confidants to secretly protect his only son, Li Mo, boarded a small boat and prepared to go south from Shanghai to take refuge in England. After arranging everything, he wiped his neck in the backyard.

As the saying goes, if a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will also be a fortress! Not long after he went to sea with his cheap old man's belongings, he was blown by the sea breeze, and his already weak body fell ill again, with a high fever. What's more unfortunate is that the ship just passed Qingdao and was intercepted by a group of foreign devils pirates who came out of nowhere. You said that if it was just rob money, it would be enough to load our Li Dashao and his men into this small cargo hold, and in the next few days, people kept being thrown in. In the end, there were more than 20 The guy dressed as a Beiyang sailor was also caught in, looking at Li Mo in a daze? Which country's pirate is this? How dare you catch the people of the Beiyang Marine Division? You should know that this is not 1894. The current Beiyang sailors can basically walk sideways in the waters of the Far East!

It's a good life in Japan! Li Mo has nothing to say. It's so unlucky. These days, he can actually meet pirates who are not even afraid of Beiyang sailors. Be obediently...! I'm afraid. If it goes on like this, my life is really in the hands of others!

"Ah." With a sigh, Li Mo opened his mouth and bit the dry food fiercely. A stinky musty smell poured into his nose and almost made him spit it out.

Fortunately, today's Li Dashao is not the original one. Although he is an engineer, as a republican [***] who has also received strict military training, Li Mo still frowned and swallowed the dry food.

"Young master, slow down!"

I was competing with dry food when suddenly a small hand came to me with half a pot of water. Li Mo looked up and saw that it was his close little maid Qiaoxi. However, at this moment, the little girl did not have the amazing feeling when she first arrived. Instead, she was dressed in coarse cloth, with pock seeds on her face, and looked like a twelve-three-year-old, poor boy.

Of course, this is to cover up for his identity, but at this moment, Master Li, who was nibbling dry food in the dark, humid and smelly cabin, was already wrinkled his nose. When he saw his little face full of pimples, he suddenly rushed to him, and even his little brother was so scared that he almost trembled!

"Say, this is terrible!" Li Mo quickly moved half of his body away, took the water, and drank it.

"Young master, it's clear that those guys are indeed sailors." At this time, the old housekeeper Li Fu came to Li Mo with a blank face, as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver. At a glance, a very tough guy came to Li Mo and whispered.

Li Fu is the old housekeeper of the Li family. He followed Li Guotai to the south and the north for decades. He was loyal, so at the last moment, Li Guotai entrusted the only seedling to him and led the team to England. Unexpectedly, he encountered this. The young man around him is Zhao Long, the leader of Li Guotai's confidant.

When he was a child, Zhao Long's parents were killed by Japanese invaders. It happened that Li Guotai passed by and saved him. He not only taught Zhao Long kung fu, but also sent him to the new army for several years. After that, Zhao Long and Li Guotai participated in the battle between the Russian Da Maozi in the northern border and protected Li Guotai. It can be said that without him, Li Guotai would have been early. I lost my life in the northern border.

The kindness of saving lives, the kindness of knowing encounters, and the hardships of life and death. Zhao Long was almost the shadow of Li Guotai, and this time Master Huyou escaped, but he didn't expect to meet a foreign pirate. Originally, he wanted to take everyone out to kill together, but at that time, Li Mo was ill and could not move, so he could only press his surname and know that he was locked in the cabin.

gnawing dry food, drinking water, listening to Li Fu and Zhao Long's words, Li Mo's heart turned upside down. Grandma's, sailors dare to catch them. They are really outlaws. How on earth can they escape?

Li Mo rolled his eyes and looked at the only ventilation window overhead. Unfortunately, the ventilation window is too small for up to one child to enter and exit, and the window is equipped with a layer of iron strips with thick fingers, which is very difficult to pass.

The rest is the large hatch next to the air window, but I think that every time foreigners appear, they are fully armed, and the ladder under the hatch is pulled out. Unless they can become flies, they will never get out.

Is it really like what Li Fu and Zhao Long said? Wait until the ship docks to find a way? Li Mo frowned. He had always been an active person, but now he has to hand over his life to others, which is obviously not in line with his surname!

"1889? What happened? What happened? Whoo...? It seems that AC Milan is about to be established. Li Mo thought nonsense while looked at the air window.

"Fight it! The fate of my son must be in my own hands!" Looking at the air window, Li Mo, who was thinking nonsense, suddenly swallowed the last bit of dry food.
