Chapter 180 Fat and Lack

Qian Yougui escaped from death, touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Don't guess, madam, let's go quickly. Don't let anything happen again."

Zhao Qiaoer said, "Don't worry, didn't the general say that no one will stop us!"

"Old money, you have been with Zhou Junchang for so long, and you haven't made any progress at all!" Lin Yaozu smiled and said, "Well, I still have grown up. I didn't pee in my pants this time!"

Zhao Qiaoer sighed, "That general is not only our benefactor, but also the benefactor of all Zhangjun. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that Lai Chuanwu would have happened again before this group of traitors went to Taiwan. Unfortunately, we don't know the name of the benefactor.

Qian Yougui said, "Madam, this general is meticulous, and he has made the matter of the Empress Dowager Buddha clear. This person is by no means an idle person. I think he can't do well, he is the person beside the Empress Dowager Buddha. If so, how can he dare to expose his identity? It will lead to a great disaster. "

"That's right!" Zhao Qiaoer said, "For the safety of the benefactor, everyone should keep their mouth shut tonight. If the Empress Dowager hears the wind, she will definitely be suspicious and harm our benefactor."

"What madam said!"

Zhao Qiaoer turned to Xiao Cui and said, "Xiao Cui, you have offended the Empress Dowager Buddha for us. Look, Lin Ji, they hate you so much.

Xiao Cui smiled and said, "It's an honor for Xiao Cui to serve your wife."

Everyone talked and laughed and went down the mountain into the mouth of Dagu.

......

In the port of Dagukou, the tall figure of Dingyuan's ship is very abrupt among the many sea ships in Dagukou. Even in the dark, Dingyuan's figure is daunting.

Lv Tianqing just sent off Admiral Nie Shicheng and returned to his bedroom. The two gorgeous prostitutes, naked snow-white bodies, leaned out of the bed and said, "The official is so affectionate that he has been waiting for a long time."

Lv Tianqing pushed up the hatch and gave a ** smile: "My sweetheart, didn't I come?" Three steps and two rushed to the bed, grabbed a prostitute in one hand and got into the bed. In the cabin, the delicate voices came one after another, mixed with Lv Tianqing's cow-like breathing.

The Beiyang sailor Dingyuan ship only arrived at Dagukou this evening. Lv Tianqing received the order and ordered him to lead the Dingyuan ship to meet Zaiyi, the king of Duan, to Weihaiwei.

Before that, he had received a secret letter from Prince Duan. Zaiyi went to Weihaiwei this time to announce the new admiral of Beiyang Marine Division.

The admiral of the Beiyang Marine Division is Ding Ruchang, who has been sitting in this position for 20 years. In the eyes of the court, the Beiyang Marine Division is Ding Ruchang's private army, which makes many princes and ministers of the Qing Dynasty very dissatisfied. However, behind Ding Ruchang is Li Hongzhang, and Ding Ruchang also holds heavy soldiers. The court has long wanted to pull Ding Ruchang off the horse. There are also many people in the court staring at the fat shortage of the Beiyang Marine Division, but no one Dare to act rashly.

In the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the defeat of the Beiyang Marine Division was originally a good opportunity to bring down Ding Ruchang, but at that time, the Qing-Japanese War was in full swing, and the position of Admiral of the Beiyang Marine Division was no longer a favorite, but became a hot potato. Those princes and ministers were afraid of leading the army to war, especially with the invincible Japanese coalition. Fight with the fleet. It was easy to pull Ding Ruchang down, but no one was willing to be the admiral at that time. Therefore, the court had to let Ding Ruchang commit crimes and make contributions.

After the war, the court finally grabbed Ding Ruchang's braids and dismissed him and arrested him. The position of Admiral of Beiyang Marine Division has become a popular one again. Many people entrust their relationship to go to the back door and do everything they can to get the position of Admiral of Beiyang Marine Division. The reason is very simple. As long as there is no war, Beiyang Marine Division is a good place to make money. He not only holds a large amount of military expenditure, but also can smuggle warships and dominate the sea. No one can control it. Admiral Beiyang Marine is not only a member of the military, but also a business tycoon! When an official is rich, it's all going smoothly.

There are no more than 20 people who seek the Admiral of the Beiyang Marine Division, all of whom are excellent*. They all spend as much money and spare no effort. They know that as long as they sit in this position, they will make a lot of profits!

At the court, the battle for the Admiral of the Beiyang Marine Division was in full swing, even more fierce than the Yellow Sea War of the First Sino-Japanese War. All the members of the court, except Li Hongzhang, were mixed in. Li Hongzhang has now become a scapegoat of the First Sino-Japanese War. He is also aware that it is time for the Beiyang Marine Division to change the door. After Ding Ruchang's fall, it is impossible for his Huai system to touch the Beiyang Marine Division again. He is even prepared to hand over the Beiyang Military Academy and Tianjin Military Academy.

Gradually, the battle gradually became clear. Most of the people were defeated and withdrew from the battle. The final battle fell between Zaiyi, the king of Duan County, and Ronglu, the governor of Zhili. That is to say, the candidates for the Admiral of the Beiyang Marine Division will be produced under the door of the two court ministers.

In the court, everyone's eyes fell on Zaiyi and Ronglu. Whoever the Beiyang sailor fell into the hands, it means that who will be the new favorite of the Empress Dowager Buddha and who will be the political leader, just like Li Hongzhang at the beginning, holding the Beiyang sailor in his hand and has power to power in the court! Many people began to prepare how to stand side by side.

However, in a war without smoke, a man hid in the dark and secretly had fun!

This person is Lu Tianqing.

Zhenbei led Lv Tianqing and forced Ding Ruchang to sink his ship and sink Zhou Charter into the sea, although Zhou Charter was not dead. However, the Empress Dowager Buddha still blamed God for this mistake and did not hold Lv Tianqing accountable. On the contrary, after losing the Zhenbei, Lv Tianqing was promoted three levels in a row, from a four-grade gun barrel belt to the Beiyang Marine Division flagship Dingyuan pipe belt, and the left-wing general, and his official quality reached the second grade! He was on an equal footing with Cai Ting, the right-wing general and Zhenyuan.

Lv Tianqing does not belong to the Zaiyi Group or the Ronglu Group. He directly obeyed the orders of the Empress Dowager.

This is a signal - the Empress Dowager Buddha does not intend to hand over the Beiyang Marine Master to Zaiyi or Ronglu, but intends to use his own people! The Empress Dowager no longer believes in anyone, whether they are Han or Manchu!

She wants to directly intervene in the Beiyang sailor!

Lv Tianqing guessed the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Buddha. If nothing unexpected happens, the huge pie of the Admiral of Beiyang Marine will fall on his head.

Sure enough, two days ago, Duanjun Wang Zaiyi sent him a secret envoy and sent him a generous gift, 1,000 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver and countless treasures.

The secret envoy just told Lv Tianqing that Prince Duan wanted to make friends with him.

Lv Tianqing sneered, and the prince took the initiative to show his goodwill. There was only one explanation. The Empress Dowager Buddha had decided to let Lv Tianqing serve as the Admiral of the Beiyang Marine Division!
