274 How high is the sky?
The young Li Marshal calmly took out a cigar and lit it calmly, but his hand holding the cigar still couldn't help trembling a little. Not to mention, Li Dashuai is really a little moved. One of the two old guys of the Tang family is a naval commander, the other is a celebrity of the Constitutional Council, the other is strong, and the other is knowledgeable. How can he find such a good big man to support himself? In particular, the matter of talking with Tang Yuewan has also become logical. Such a good wife is exactly what she is looking for............
The naval commander saw that Marshal Li was moved and said it sincerely.
This sentence is as shocking as a blockbuster hitting the head of all those who heard it. Although it is already the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Tang family is a Wang family in Hubei Province, a typical rich family. The concept of family ownership has not been eliminated after a hundred years, let alone today! Li Xiang is a stinky soldier and a little famous upstart. This is also one of the reasons why Li Dashuai, who rises from the grassroots, is excluded, suppressed and disliked. Li Shang and Tang Yue have always been wrong in the eyes of the world. The naval commander can say so sincerely that the accompanying naval officials all know that this bottom card can be said that Lord Tang Qianming has pulled down his face, and even can even be said to be a little a little aggrieved.
Is a madman Li worth being with a very beautiful daughter of the Tang family? The naval officials who accompanied the guests for a while were even a little confused. As long as the brain is not short-term, people know that the marriage of rich families has always been a family background. Even the revolutionary leader, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, may not be worthy of the revolutionary leader (the marriage of Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Miss Song suffered great resistance from the secular world), not to mention the rise of a rising upstart Li Feng. Son.
Maybe this sentence can make any person in this era be moved and work hard for the Tang family from now on. However, the young Marshal Li is remote and not one of them. Perhaps, Commander Tang Qianming does not have the phrase of political marriage as a suffix. Marshal Li may really consider the possibility of cooperation between the two. It is this sentence that aroused Marshal Li extremely strong antipathy - although Marshal Li also admits that he is indeed shameless. .
Li Xiang is not a person of this era at all, so he can't be as important as the people living in this era. For this "gift", people in this era will feel happy. All he feels is humiliation and contempt, except that he thinks it is right. Fang used a woman to bribe him, which regarded him as a lustful person, which was the biggest insult to the sincere and innocent feelings between him and Tang Yuewan! As an incompetent young man in the 21st century, in addition to making him angry, he is even more disgusted with the fact that a woman with thoughts and feelings, and the woman he loves, is given as a political tool or as a gift... Because people in New China all know that Mao Zhuxi said: Women can hold up half of the sky. .
"Uncle, you are really good at joking." Li Dashuai curled his lips and smiled, "In what era are you still playing marriage? In this era, we are talking about freedom! Marriage is also free!"
"I'm not kidding." Tang Qianming said very seriously. If you want to integrate into our world, this is the key to open this door!"
"Wait until I have enough strength to get involved in your world." Although Marshal Li is young, he will not be as passive as Xiao Mao. What's more, Xiaowan won't agree with you to handle her lifelong events like this, will she?
"She can't make the decision on this matter?" Tang Qianming said lightly. If you want to marry her, you must praise the Tang family.
"She wants to marry me, can you stop her?" Li Dashuai spewed out a thick cigar.
"Shal Li, don't mess around any more. Children from famous families like us don't have freedom of marriage." Tang Qianming said with a helpless smile. This marriage is destined not to get rid of the shadow of politics! It's also your best choice now.
"Xiao Wan is a unique woman. I got this marriage by political means. I'm afraid she will hate me for the rest of my life. Marshal Li continued to smoke a cigar.
"Is pure love more important than your ideal?" Commander Tang Qianming looked at the young Marshal Li in front of him again with kind eyes. After all, he is the most fashionable group of people in China, and he seems to be able to understand some of Li's thoughts.
"Pure love is also my ideal!" Lixiang also said seriously, "If I do whatever I can for my ideals, a noble ideal will become a completely dark ambition."
Commander Tang Qianming was calm and calm. After staring at Marshal Li for a while, he laughed and said, "You are so young and naive!" I'm really surprised that you have come this far with your unrealistic ideals! I'm also curious, how far can you go with such an unrealistic ideal? Perhaps what my fantasy niece likes is Marshal Li with unrealistic ideals. Tang Qianming's last sentence was thought in his mind.
Li wanted to smoke a cigar calmly, which made people unable to see his inner thoughts at all, or he also had a clear face.
"The first snow in 1911, although it came later than usual..." Li Dashuai hummed a small tune a hundred years later.
Tang Qianming narrowed his eyes, gave up and then recruited Li Xiang. He said sincerely, "I wish Li Shuai and Peng thousands of miles!"
Li Dashuai didn't say anything more. He knocked out the cigar in his mouth on the table, picked up the wine glass and Tang Qianming and gently touched it, and drank all the wind and snow in the cup.
"In order to commend your anti-Qing determination to participate in the revolution..." Li wanted to put down his glass and said like a spring breeze, "As the marshal of the Hankou Revolutionary Army, I express my condolences to the navy and send a consolation money."
After the naval uprising, Tang Qianming led the ship to Wuhan to fight together. Two days later, Li Yuanhong sent Xu Mingda and Li Zuodong to Jiujiang by ship, holding a letter to comfort the navy and spending thousands of yuan to comfort the ship. After Tang Qianming prepared the supply of the fleet, he drove all the fleet to the river near Qingshan. Li Yuanhong once again sent Li Guoyong to bring a number of silver coins to the ship as a temporary part of the military pay. The purpose of Li Yuanhong's money is very simple, that is, he wants to accept the navy. Now Li Xiang's purpose is the same.
"Would you like to accept this condolence payment?" Marshal Li looked at the naval officials with a smile.
Tang Qianming finally saw it clearly. Marshal Li didn't want to get married. He didn't want to be eaten by him. He wanted to eat him! Tang Qianming didn't say anything. Du Xiwei said with a little embarrassment, "This...isn't in line with the rules, right?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and Li's abacus was "brushed" and scattered.
"Don't worry, I can abandon my status as the marshal of the Hankou Revolutionary Army and donate a condolence money to the navy in my own name." Marshal Li explained very unrecisively that he used money to buy a friendship.
Commander Tang Qianming did not want to refuse such free money.
"We are willing." Du Xiyu swallowed her saliva and looked at Li Marshal and nodded fiercely.
Grandma, Li Dashuai's teeth are almost broken with hatred. Dealing with money is really very unhappy. This money will be delivered to you after I return to Hankou.
"Thank you very much for your generosity!" Du Xiyu said with a little excitement.
"No thanks! It is necessary to make this effort for the navy. If our southern party members can put down some of their previous opinions and unite as one, the revolution will soon succeed!" Li wants to fully express the patriotic spirit, great courage and lofty ideals of a revolutionary thinker. As a person of ambition, we always choose the most civilized political laws on earth to save China, and the best personality to treat our 40,000 compatriots... I help the navy like this, but I just hope that the Chinese navy can be stronger than Europe and the United States in a short period of time.
"Can the Chinese navy compare China with Europe and the United States in a short period of time?" Not only were the admirals surprised, but even Song Que was stunned.
Tang Qianming frowned and looked at Li Xiang with a questioning face.
"Can't you? Isn't it just to buy cannons? Just add a "Sea" cruiser!" Marshal Li glanced at them, and his sideways eyes seemed to be looking at the eagles in the mountains.
"Shal Li... Are you going to help the navy buy more ships and cannons?" The "Chu" gunboat is built by the Japanese shipyard, 700 tons. It's good to add two to the navy!" A general asked cautiously. Selling boats is a matter of burning silver, and they dare not expect too much.
"This broken gunboat made by Xiao Dongyang?" Li Dashuai smiled and almost choked himself to death. The names of gunboats and cruisers are a little similar, but can this also be put together?
"The gunboats built by the Little Dongyang Shipyard are still very powerful in naval battles. They are similar in shape to large armored ships, and the price is moderate." Du Xiqi nodded her head.
"Chu Guan is only 700 tons?" Li Dashuai compared with his fingers. The 'Jiang' gunboat made by Xiaodongyang is only 500 tons?
Du Xiyu nodded.
"I'm talking about the cruiser! Cruiser! It's so big!" Marshal Li stretched out with his arm, trying to draw the length of the sea under his feet. It's 2, 900 tons, and there are 4,300 tons of big guys!"
"It's not that you can't sell it, my Marshal Li. However, the purchase of a 'Sea' cruiser is controlled by European and American powers. And it has been several years from placing an order to receiving the goods! Even if a large number of orders are deregulated in Europe and the United States, and you continue to provide funds, it is not enough to buy cruisers comparable to Europe and the United States in a short time, let alone enough qualified sailors to board cruisers. Therefore, there is almost no quick way to build a navy. Tang Qianming, who had been sunk for a long time, said, "Shuai Li, although it is better for you to surpass China's ideals than Europe and the United States in a short period of time, it is obviously unwise."
"There is almost no quick way?" Marshal Li is completely discouraged. It will take several years to buy a cruiser. It's really better to build a shipyard in Hankou. The rapid establishment of a navy is no way out now. The future war with Xiaodongyang is still on land!
Li Dashuai has nothing to say. It's more realistic to ask how tall the sky is. Since the plan to buy a cruiser and quickly establish its own navy has failed, it is only the attention of these navies. Marshal Li sighed silently.
