271 will sometimes go

The Yangtze River rushes through tens of millions of mountains, and there are thousands of meteors under the afterglow of the sunset.

Li Xiang was squinting and looking ahead. A huge armored ship broke through the huge waves, advanced against the current, and surged at him. Such a huge thing is not suitable for fighting in the inland river, even if it is such a wide and water-rich river as the Yangtze River.

Li Xiang recognized it with just a glance. This is a cruiser named "Hai" in the late Qing Dynasty, but it will not be a famous Haiqi ship. Among the four "seas", the sea is the largest, with more than 4,300 tons. It is made by the British shipyard and has a 21-life cannon, which is twice as big as the ironclad ship in front of it. As for which of the three sister ships of Hairong, Haichen and Haichou, Li Xiang can't distinguish them.

Although the one in front of us is not as good as the Shanghai cruiser, it is better than the "Chu" gunboat of the former Yangtze River Fleet they took. It is enough to say that it is made by a Japanese shipyard. The four "seas" are imported from Europe. And the shape of this Chuguan ship is similar to that of a large armored ship. It is absolutely old-fashioned, its appearance is absolutely rustic, the actual combat is absolutely lame, and the tonnage is absolutely stingy ( only 700 tons). Compared with the more than 2,9 hundred tons of "Sea" cruiser in front of him, the situation of the Chuguan ship is like Li Xiang standing in front of the little giant Yao Ming. The other three sisters of the word "sea" are all made by German shipyards. It is not only domineering, but also has a fifteen-life cannon, with a very long range and strong firepower.

Li Xiang's boat is facing the "little giant".

In the abundant sunshine, there were dozens of people standing on the other side's deck. Everyone looked at the Chuguan ship curiously, and some people ran back and forth.

The huge ship fluttered the flag of the navy of the provisional government of the People's Republic of China, and the momentum of breaking the waves was fierce.

Both warships were desperately flying flags. Li Xiang couldn't understand it. He looked back at Zheng Liqing and Zhu Xiaoxian, who had boarded the Chuguan Bridge, as captains and deputy captains.

The two were originally officers of the Yangtze River Fleet. The Qing army sent Sa Zhenbing to lead a warship to Wuhan to prepare for Feng Guozhang's sea and land attack. The two sympathized with the revolution and immediately joined Li Yuanhong after the fleet arrived in Hankou. After Li thought of Hankou, he didn't know if the vigor of the king who showed off his victory in Hankou was too fierce. These two stupid and hot-blooded young people immediately bowed to him and shouted, "We will follow the commander and carry out the revolution to the end!" Li Xiang naturally accepted the talents sent to his door. However, Li Xiang is still not satisfied. He only has 700 tons of Chu Guan, which is too far from his dream of a maritime power.

Li Xiang squinted slightly and looked at the slowly slowing "Sea" cruiser. Should he go to the opposite side to fool him to see if he could drag the "Sea" cruiser to Hankou.

Li Xiang is having a ghost idea. Zhu Xiaoxian has come down from the bridge and made a standard military salute in front of Li Xiang, saying, "Report the general. Opposite is the Navy's Hairong ship. General Tang Qianming, the interim commander-in-chief of the navy, and General Du Xikui, the captain of the Hairong, invited the marshal to board the ship to talk.

Zhu Xiaoxian and the revolutionary soldiers on the deck looked at him with a very strange look. Who in the world doesn't know that he has something to do with the Tang family?

Although Li just wanted to go to Shanghai Rong to promote his revolutionary ideas and see if he could take Hai Rong for himself, he heard that Tang Yuewan's uncle Tang Qianming was also there, and Li Xiang was a little hesitant.

Although there is a wonderful bond of Tang Yuewan, it is very possible to subdue the sea or establish a tacit understanding with the navy. However, Hunan people all know that Tang Qianming is not a good person. He has a reputation as an evil warlord second to Zhang Jingyao, Zhang Du (a homonym of Zhang Du in Hunan). He is a little afraid to stick to this person.

"Let the boat go into the water, and I'll go there now." In the end, Li wanted to resist the great charm given to him by Hairong.

The sailors on the two warships were busy for a while. Li Xiang took Song Que and Zhu Xiaoxian to the deck of Shanghai Rong.

Zhu Xiaoxian saluted Captain Hai Rong and his old boss Du Xiyu, and then introduced Marshal Li to him.

"Marshal Li is as famous as thunder!" Du Xi Gui stretched out her hand and smiled on her face, with a little foreign-style gentry demeanor, especially against the new snow-white captain's uniform.

Li Xiang has not recovered from the shock brought to him by this huge ship. The navy, which has never been mentioned on the table in China's modern history, has also had such a giant ship, and there are as many as four! If a few more "Sea"-shaped giant ships are added, can we fight against the Japanese Navy in the future?

"Marshal..." Looking at the stupid and dazed Li Xiang, Song Que quietly poked him behind him.

"Hey..." Li wanted to reach out his hand and Du Xilala in embarrassment. He didn't know what to say.

For the future of the Chinese navy, you must be taken down! Li thought darkly.

"Isn't it spectacular?" Du Xixian's tall body stood in front of Li Xiang, completely blocking Li Xiang's huge sight. Seeing the stupid look of Li Xiang, who was shocked when he was a country bumpkin in Shanghai, many sailors on Hairong smiled silently and understandingly. But this silly country bumpkin, Marshal Li, is really too young!

"People who board Shanghai for the first time will feel shocked. I clearly remember my excitement at that time. If China has a few more giant ships like this, it can resist the enemy outside the gate of the country..." When Du Xikui explained, there was a sense of nostalgia, thinking of the youth that it was impossible to go back.

"Heroes see the same!" Don't let Li Xiang dare to be embarrassed by Du Xi's burly figure. Li wants to stand up his chest hard, which makes him look a little taller. However, an incompetent government like the Qing government, even if it has a strong marine fleet, it is impossible to resist the enemy outside the country. Otherwise, there will be no fiasco of the First Sino-Japanese War!"

The pride of the ship has just weakened. Li thought about their pain. This is an article about the bloody and tearful history of the Chinese navy.

Du Xijie's enthusiastic face changed and became like today's weather. He stared at Li Xiang for a while, and suddenly shook his head and sighed, "If it weren't for you recovering the Hankou concession and raising our Chinese national prestige, I would have driven you off the ship now! - What I want to ask now is that our national hero, Marshal Li, is ready to go. Nanjing or Shanghai?"

"Don't you dare to face this history?" Li wanted to shake his head and said in a faint tone, "You are really well-informed - go to Shanghai."

"No sailor here has forgotten this national shame!" Du Xihui couldn't help roaring and immediately felt very bad about his British gentleman style. He really didn't know that he couldn't control his temper when he saw this young and excessive Marshal Li. He waved his hand and said angrily, "Unless he is deaf and blind, he won't know. In the People's Daily news this morning, the Hankou Military Government officially took back the concessions of Britain, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States and changed it to China's municipal special area. The management committee is composed of four Chinese and three British people. The chairman is Chinese, and it is managed in accordance with the new regulations of the Municipal Council promulgated by the Hankou Military Government. Tilite was ordered to send a memorandum and Annex 7 to the Hankou military government. This is China's unprecedented victory in the negotiations with the great powers since Daoguang. But such a grand event that will be engraved in history, but the newspaper doesn't see Marshal Li's efforts to make a grand event. We can't help but wonder. When we heard that a warship came down from Hankou, we thought, would Marshal Li be on this ship?

Li Xiang and Song Que, and Zhu Xiaoxian looked at each other in con'swoon, thinking that it was known all over the world that they went to Shanghai?

Since Du Xihui was sure that they were going to Shanghai, he immediately ordered, "turn around and sail back!" Back to Shanghai!"

The deputy captain standing on the bridge hurriedly issued an order. The sailors of Hairong immediately became busy and told the Chu Guan ship the situation through the flag language.

Du Xiyu sent an invitation to Li Xiang and said, "Marshal Li, would you please enjoy the noodles and use some wine and vegetables?"

"It's a great honor." Li wanted to hold the hat without a crooked brim. At least he was also a big warlord, but this low-key soldier stood beside Du Xiyu, like his guard, which made Li Xiang a little unhappy.

"Excuse me, what do you want to do when Marshal Li goes to Shanghai?" Du Xijiu, the captain of Hairong, asked casually on the way to the restaurant. He didn't seem to like Li Xiang's simple soldier's costume at all.

"Participate in the North-South peace conference being held in Shanghai." Li wanted to say without hesitation.

"North-South peace?" Du Xiyu unconsciously stopped, stared at his big eyes, and looked down at him with complicated eyes: Is this Marshal Li really a gentleman...

"Didn't the Northern Council and Mission of Manting led by Tang Shaoyi go to Shanghai? I heard that the parliament has begun. Haven't you heard of it?" Li wanted to pretend to be curious.

"Yes! I heard that the first time the talk was ruined..." Du Xijiu touched his nose, continued to walk forward, and grinned, "But as far as I know, whether it is the northern mission or the southern mission, the control of the negotiations is very secretive and does not allow others to interfere. Marshal Li, you're welcome. You are not popular in Shanghai, especially the foreign devils. If you are in Shanghai, I'm afraid you will hit a wall everywhere. The most important thing is that the real place of the North-South peace conference is Xiyin Hall, and the key figure is Zhao Fengchang and Mr. Zhao. Not everyone can enter Xiyintang at will, so not everyone can intervene at will.

"Xiyintang!" Li Sang's lungs were suddenly filled with cold air. He saw Du Xikui's ulterior eyes, which seemed to evoke some of his memories.

"Have you heard of it?" Du Xiyu was a little surprised by Li Xiang's news.

"Zhang Nanpi's dog-headed military division, known as the current Zhuge, is the leader of the constitutional faction in the southeast?" Li wanted to lower his voice and asked.

"That's him. He worked in the Zhang Zhidong shogunate when he was young." Captain Du Xigui nodded, and Li thought this "dog-headed military division" was very useful. Yes, although Zhao Fengchang is not as famous as Sun Yat-sen, he is also famous. Just now, he really thought that Li Xiang was a local bun and didn't know anything.

Li Xiang suddenly smiled viciously and said, "When I arrived in Shanghai, he didn't open the door of Xiyin Hall, and I burned him in Xiyin Hall with a fire!" With me, the North-South peace agreement will not succeed! One by one, I want to repay Yuan Shikai's thighs. Hey hey, I think it's beautiful!"

Du Xijiu suddenly sweated, and all the hair on his back stood up. At this moment, he was a little regretful that he agreed to allow Tang Qianming to invite such a dangerous person to board the ship.
