Chapter 226: Forced marriage

Seeing Sa Zhenbing's face was embarrassed, Ye Zhikui couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Standing up, Ye Zhikui put his hands behind his back, looked out the window deeply, and began to show off.

"A hundred years ago, who could have thought that humans could travel the sky at will? Fifty years ago, who could have thought that they could have sent messages thousands of miles away? Ten years later, no one might have been able to attack from deep water. Dingming, any new technology emerges can cause changes to human beings. Perhaps today's submarines can become a weapon to attack the enemy in the future. As a pioneer, you may be unknown, but it is crucial for subsequent development."

"Master Marshal, I," Sa Zhenbing's face turned red.

Ye Zhikui glanced at him and continued, "Dingming, you are always talented. Zhengqing and I both think that you have the talent of command. A weak fleet needs someone like you to lead it to grow. However, I don't want to use orders to bind you. I hope to fall in love with the submarine force sincerely. Dingming, if you are unwilling to be reluctant, I won't force you."

Deng Shichang was secretly enjoying himself around. He finally realized Ye Zhikui's ability to fool people. Not long ago, he said that he was reluctant to leave the cruiser's steward, and recommended him a practice ship's steward, but now he talked about Sa Zhenbing as an indispensable commander.

Sa Zhenbing looked at Deng Shichang and Ye Zhikui gratefully. He did not expect that he, who was unknown in the navy, could be so valued by these two people. The scholar died for his confidant. He stood up and bowed a long time, and said movedly: "I am willing to take this great responsibility for the humble duty."

After saying that, he was stunned. He was still the boss didn't want it, but as he said it, it became willing.

Ye Zhikui didn't wait for him to think about it and quickly praised: "Okay, Dingming, you are worthy of being the elite of the Party and the country. Well, you are the elite of the navy. You are not afraid of telling you a secret. The military government's 22nd plan has been launched. It has decided to build 20 submarines within two years and form an army as soon as possible. As the secret weapon of the navy, within two years, you will be removed from the navy and exist as a retired person who is sick."

There were 20 ships in two years, and Deng Shichang did not expect Ye Zhikui to attach so much importance to submarines.

Ye Zhikui solemnly entrusted: "Two, the Navy's 22nd Plan exists as a top-secret file, and must not leak any news. The technicians who developed the submarine signed a confidentiality agreement, so,"

Deng Shichang and Sa Zhenbing replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Grand Marshal, we will never say a word."

After getting Sa Zhenbing, the three of them talked for a few more times until late at night before they left.

The next day, Sa Zhenbing resigned from his position as a trainer and trainer on the grounds of being ill. Deng Shichang did not persuade him and directly approved it. All the naval generals who heard about this matter sighed.

In the next few days, Ye Zhikui, accompanied by Deng Shichang, carefully inspected the defense situation of Weihaiwei, visited the injured soldiers, and put forward the requirements for the navy to actively prepare for war, from the daily training of naval soldiers to the living conditions of the ships, to the maintenance and repair of the ships.

I personally asked about it in detail, which greatly boosted the navy's morale and made it look refreshed.

When Li Hongzhang sent a second telegram, Ye Zhikui had already arrived in Jiaozhou Bay to pay tribute to the martyrs who died in the Sino-German War.

"History will not be forgotten, the people will not be forgotten, and the military government will not be forgotten, and those martyrs who died bravely in foreign wars will last forever and be remembered forever."

After saying that, Ye Zhikui bowed deeply to the martyrs' tomb, and behind him, a group of Shandong local officials also bent down solemnly.

Ye Zhikui's itinerary to pay tribute to the martyrs' tomb was semi-public. Shandong Governor Bai Tiannan personally led local officials to follow him, and local newspapers also reported it vigorously.

Ye Zhikui suddenly appeared in Shandong, which also attracted the attention and speculation of various countries.

*** people said: In recent days, the head of the Chinese state, Ye Zhikui, patrolled various naval bases in the north, which shows that the Chinese people attach great importance to the navy. After the Sino-Russian naval battle, the Chinese naval forces have been reborn. Will the empire also attach enough importance to the navy?

Americans say: Prepare to grab business, and the Chinese government will definitely set off a new round of ship buying craze.

The Germans said: Ye Zhikui secretly visited the Beiyang Manufacturing Bureau. The Haihe River near the Manufacturing Bureau was surrounded by the Chinese. China is suspected of developing secret weapons. After detailed and meticulous research, it may be related to the navy. However, there is no need to worry that the Chinese shipbuilding technology lags behind Germany for decades.

British:..., I don't know, it may be related to the disappearance of the Empire's Far East Fleet in the East China Sea. After China and Britain had a feud, the Empire's power in China was greatly weakened. Let's explore again!

"It's really a surprise that the Russians are willing to trade Boli City for Nebchu City." Ye Zhikui put down the telegram and murmured to himself.

The members of the Sino-Russian peace talks delegation used various means in Boli. China has taken the lead step by step because of Wade, an internal supporter. After many days of tug-of-war negotiations, the Russians finally showed up and were willing to exchange Boli for Nebchu and return the territory, including Sakhalin Island, to the Chinese government with Heilongjiang as the boundary.

"Master Marshal, the Russians were defeated and were so arrogant. Otherwise, we would personally take down Boli and Hailanpao, and there was nothing to change." Wang Xiaosheng interrupted indignantly.

He and Toshigo of Dearen were sitting opposite Ye Zhikui.

"That cannot be said, Nebchu is crucial to the Russians. If we must occupy Nebchu, the Russians will probably not give up. In this way, the war will only continue. For our country, which is in need of rest, it will not be worth the loss." Toshigo, obviously, had a different opinion.

Ye Zhikui nodded and continued to ask: "What did Song Qing and the others say?"

Imitation Shintogo looked through the telegram from a few days ago and frowned and replied: "General Song said that although they occupied the city of Nibchu, the Russians were increasing troops in Baikal, in an attempt to retake Nibchu. Although the morale of the army was still high, the city of Hulunbuir turned into ashes, which led to logistical difficulties. The army of 20,000 people needed tens of thousands of people to transport and provide support. The General Staff also felt that it was difficult to occupy Nibchu at present."

Ye Zhikui slowed down for a long time and finally spoke: "Since that's the case, let's withdraw from Nibchu for the time being. When the new city is built and the railway is opened, it will be no longer too late for us to take it."

Deepin Shizuo smiled and said, "That villain sent someone to send a telegram to Lord Li to agree with his opinion. By the way, Lord Li also said that the Russians had no intention of redeeming Russian soldiers."

During the Sino-Russian War, there were 100,000 Russian soldiers captured. Of course, it was filled with a large number of temporary soldiers who had just put down their hoes and carried guns. The Tsar was originally dissatisfied with the Russian Far East army and was even more unwilling to spend a piece of money for these peasants. Therefore, when China proposed that Russia used money to redeem the captured soldiers, the Russian side directly condemned China's absurdity, believing that since it was willing to negotiate, it should show since it was necessary to show since both sides unconditionally release the soldiers.

China is naturally not stupid, and there are very few Chinese teams captured. In the end, the Russian side only agreed to exchange Chinese soldiers for some generals and directly put them on the list of ordinary soldiers.

"Then let them create greater value, let them build roads until the sun and the moon are gone, and forever, in short, if you don't take money, you can't release it." Ye Zhikui said slowly, and he always scoffed at some officials in China who have the spirit of a king. There is only interests between countries.

Depending on Ren Shigo shrugged, he left slowly. Obviously, he had expected Ye Zhikui to say so long ago.

The trip to Jiaozhou Bay is the end of this tour, and it is time to embark on the way back to Beijing. While Ye Zhikui was bowing his head and pondering, suddenly a servant came in and said that the Shandong Governor Bai Tiannan was visiting.

Ye Zhikui quickly summoned him.

Bai Tiannan was promoted to the governor of Shandong when Nie Shicheng led his troops to capture Vladivostok. Since the military government was willing to manage Vladivostok, it naturally needed to leave Nie Shicheng, an experienced veteran, there.

In addition to being the governor of Shandong, Bai Tiannan also has another identity, Bai Weiwei's father. He visited at night, mostly for personal matters. Wang Xiaosheng, a little devil, blinked at Ye Zhikui, and said goodbye with tactful farewell.

Not long after, Bai Tiannan, wearing a gray-white casual outfit, walked in slowly.

Ye Zhikui did not dare to be negligent, and stood up to greet him with a smile.

"I pay homage to the Grand Marshal!" Bai Tiannan saluted with a tense face.

"It's not a formal occasion, why should I be too polite, please call me Congyun." Ye Zhikui quickly replied with a greeting, poured down a cup of tea himself, and asked him to sit down.

Although Bai Tiannan met Ye Zhikui this morning, he didn't find time to look at him carefully until now.

He sighed a little in his heart. No wonder his daughter fell in love with him. Judging from his appearance, although Ye Zhikui was not as good as Pan An, he was also upright, let alone a young hero. When he thought that his daughter actually moved into the Forbidden City, he was nameless and unrecognizable, the rumors that he was unclear gave Bai Tiannan a headache.

I will argue with you Ye Zhikui tonight. No matter whether you are the Grand Marshal or the Little Marshal, it is not enough to play with my daughter like this. How can my daughter’s innocence be defiled?

Seeing that Bai Tiannan did not say anything for a long time, Ye Zhikui had to ask, "I wonder what my uncle is doing when he comes to visit late at night?"

During the day, Nan picked up the teacup and used the lid to make it a little. He said slowly and quickly: "Marson of the Little Girl Vivi Duolou has troubled me, and I plan to send someone to let her go home."

That won't work. Thinking of Bai Weiwei's shy appearance, Ye Zhikui was unwilling to do so and asked carefully: "Why did your uncle say this? Weiwei eats well and lives well in the capital. Is there any nephew's nephew's nephew's nephew's nephew's nephew's nephew's nephew's?"

Just pretend to be stupid. Bai Tiannan cursed in his heart and said slowly: "If the name is not right, the words will not go well. The little girl is talking about marriage and marriage. It is not appropriate to live in the Forbidden City for emotion or reason."

Bai Tiannan dialect was so straightforward, and Ye Zhikui was not ready to be stunned. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, Weiwei and his nephew agree to the peace. I hope to marry Weiwei as a wife, and I hope my uncle will fulfill it."

Finally, I waited for your words. It seems that this marshal is really a donkey. He will not be beaten or left.

"I, Bai Tiannan, have only this daughter, and I have always regarded it as a treasure. If the Grand Marshal is willing, I hope he can treat him well and marry him with the Six Rites."

Although Bai Tiannan was unwilling to marry the imperial family, he could not control her heart and could only try his best to win benefits for his daughter.

"This is natural." Ye Zhikui also really likes Bai Weiwei, so he will not let her suffer any grievances.

Seeing Ye Zhikui so easy to talk, Bai Tiannan finally felt relieved, and his coffin face turned into the smiling face of Maitreya Buddha.
