Chapter 181 Old Officer

In the Qing Dynasty, the prince Baylor is a floating cloud, the military prime minister is a divine horse, and only the military power is a hard currency! Li Hongzhang has lost the Beiyang Marine Division and the Huai Army, and only has a title of Taibao on his head. In fact, he is nothing!

Lv Tianqing mastered the Beiyang Marine Master, and the prince of the magnificent Qing Dynasty could only bow to him!

Lv Tianqing was secretly happy and did not show a sound on the surface. According to the order of the court, he led the Dingyuan ship to Dagukou to welcome Duan County King Zaiyi.

According to the arrangement of the court, Prince Duan will arrive at Dagukou tomorrow morning. Lv Tianqing arrived a day earlier and arrived at dusk today. On the surface, he expressed his respect for Prince Duan and waited in advance. In fact, Lv Tianqing wanted to spend the night at Dagukou. The life in the military camp on Liugong Island was too hard. He had long heard that Tianjin's kiln sister was watery, and there were many Jiangnan beauties who came to search for gold.

At dusk today, as soon as the Dingyuan ship docked, Lv Tianqing couldn't wait to send his cronies ashore and found two stunning kiln sisters to hide in his bedroom and was about to be free. I never thought that Admiral Nie Shicheng visited the ship.

Nie Shicheng led Wuyi's army to garrison Dagukou. He was the highest military officer in Dagukou. The flagship of the Beiyang Marine Division came. Out of etiquette, he naturally wanted to come up to greet the landlord.

Lv Tianqing heard that Nie Shicheng was visiting, but it was not easy to refuse, so he had to be patient and accompany Nie Shicheng. Nie Shicheng invited Lv Tianqing to disemble and go to the dock for a drink. Lv Tianqing thought about the two delicate kiln sisters. He didn't want to drink. He deduced that the Beiyang sailors had military regulations, and the generals were not allowed to disemble off the ship after leaving the military port.

Nie Shicheng did not know that there was a kiln sister hidden in Lv Tianqing's cabin. He thought that Lv Tianqing took an example to abide by military regulations and praised Lv Tianqing. Lv Tianqing also made a magnificent righteousness that he would never touch. Nie Shicheng thought that he had really met Hai Rui alive and admired Lv Tianqing. Nie Shicheng linged on the Dingyuan ship for an hour before leaving.

After finally sending Nie Shicheng away, Lv Tianqing couldn't wait to run back to the bedroom and jumped on Sister Yao's belly.

In the bedroom, Lv Tianqing was working hard with the two kiln sisters, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Lv Tianqing's things had just entered the alley and was abruptly interrupted. He was angry and scolded, "Who the fuck doesn't have eyes!"

"Your Excellency, the Admiral has arrived at the command room. Please take your Excellency to discuss the matter."

"What an admiral!" Lv Tianqing said angrily, "You son of a bitch, I'm the admiral..." Lv Tianqing hurriedly stopped. The matter of the admiral can't be announced until Prince Duan comes.

"Please take your excellency to get up quickly and don't let the admiral wait. Everyone's face is not good-looking."

"Bullshit! Where did the Beiyang Marine come from?" Lv Tianqing picked up his trousers and didn't wear a coat. He jumped out of bed and opened the hatch. He saw a sailor standing outside. Lv Tianqing raised his arm and slapped the sailor in the face.

His palms did not fall on the sailor's face, but were set up in mid-air. The two sailors, one left and one right, set up Lv Tianqing's two arms and cut him back.

"You are fucking going to rebel!" Lv Tianqing shouted, but he couldn't help but be set up by two sailors. After a while, he went to the command room.

In the command room, the first lieutenant, second lieutenant, chief engineer, and the chief of various departments on the Dingyuan ship were all dressed in blue military uniforms unique to the Beiyang Marine Division, standing on both sides of the hall, raising their heads, and their military appearance was neat. Only Lv Tianqing was bare, with braided and scattered, like a water ghost.

Two sailors threw Lv Tianqing in the middle of the hall.

Lv Tianqing said angrily, "You are all fucking crazy. How dare you kidnap me in the middle of the night? I'm your leader. Who picked the head? Stand up for me, and I'll cut him!"

A voice came from the end of the hall: "I picked my head!"

Lv Tianqing looked up and saw a slightly fat middle-aged man sitting on the seat with a blue military uniform and nine longevity characters embroidered in the cloud pattern on the cuffs, which was the rank of Admiral of Beiyang Marine!

"Ding Ruchang!" Lu Tianqing was stunned.

"Presumptuous!" Ding Ruchang shouted, "How dare you call this admiral's name!"

Lv Tianqing shouted, "Aren't you in Xuzhou?"

"Blessings, I'm back!" Ding Ruchang said.

"You are not an admiral, you are a criminal of the imperial court!" Lu Tianqing shouted, "Come on, arrest this imperial criminal!"

In the hall, everyone looked at Lv Tianqing coldly.

Ding Ruchang sneered: "What should I do with prostitutes on the warship according to the military rules of my Beiyang Marine Division?"

The first officer faced Ding Ruchang and bowed down and said, "Admiral Bing, you should be executed according to the law!"

Lv Tianqing shouted, "He is not the admiral, but I am the admiral. The Empress Dowager Buddha has issued a decree to appoint me as the Admiral of the Beiyang Marine Division. Tomorrow morning, Prince Duan will announce this appointment! If you kill me, you will kill the second-class members of the imperial court without authorization. It is a crime of rebellion. The Empress Dowager Buddha wants to destroy your nine clans!"

Ding Ruchang raised the case: "Since the Empress Dowager Buddha wants to destroy our nine clans, what else should we do to protect her!"

The officers and soldiers in the hall shouted in unison: "Reverse!"

Only then did Lv Tianqing understand that Ding Ruchang came back, and the Beiyang sailor turned around!

In the late Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Marine Division intercepted the joint fleet in the waters of Miaodao and won a great victory. However, the days of the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Marine Division were getting worse day by day. Ding Ruchang was imprisoned by the imperial court. The officers who participated in the Battle of Miao Island were either dismissed or transferred. It was clear that the imperial court wanted to clean up the Beiyang Marine Division. Wash. In particular, after Cai Ting led Zhenyuan and other three warships to Taiwan with Zhou Charter, the court further intensified the cleaning of the Beiyang Marine Division. Many officers and soldiers disappeared or died inexplicably. All the officers and soldiers were in danger, and many people were rebellious. However, the old officer Ding Ruchang was arrested, and the Beiyang Marine Division had no leader and it was difficult to achieve anything. .

At this time, Ding Ruchang suddenly boarded the Dingyuan ship. When the officers and soldiers on the ship saw the old officer, they cried bitterly and asked the old officer to take them a way to live.

In the Dingwu Army camp in Xuzhou, Ding Ruchang had already died once and came back from the ghost gate. Ding Ruchang's temperament changed greatly from a cowardly and timid bureaucrat to a dare-to-be man. No wonder, he had no way out!

What's more, it was none other than Li Hongzhang's son-in-law and Ding Ruchang's sworn brother Zhang Peilun!

It was the oriental princess Zhao Han who contributed to all this.
