Chapter Thirty-Seven: Go Back, Don't Be Sad
If someone asks what was the biggest thing during the Sino-Japanese War? If your answer is the Sino-Japanese War, you will be severely despised by the good people of the Qing Dynasty. Brother! You are too confusing, how could it be the Sino-Japanese War? The biggest thing is that our Lord Buddha holds a birthday party! The "birthday gift" in various places is so fierce that it is necessary to build railways. If you don't have to hold a birthday party for Lord Buddha first, you have to buy a ship, not to be able to do it. Didn't you win it just a while ago? There are still ships there.
Moreover, the reason why the peace talks between China and Japan went so smoothly was that the Japanese had to say to Cixi: "Your, you have a great conscience! You are my friend of Japan."
In order to make the result of the Pyongyang contract result, Lord Lafayette placed it on his bedside as a big gift for his 60th birthday, and sent Li Hongzhang to "not force the Japanese, it should be over as soon as possible." Finally, Li Hongzhang lived up to his expectations and signed the Pyongyang contract two days before his 60th celebration (Cique Xi's birthday is the tenth day of the lunar month, which is November 7 of the Gregorian calendar). Lord Lafayette saw the content of the contract and was satisfied. Look, you guys who are whining and irritable, under the leadership of the Ai family's efforts, I won the Japanese country in the Qing Dynasty. The Ai family has made great contributions. Can you say that you will not hold a birthday party? Can you say that you will not celebrate with the people? Can you say that you will not make me happy?
This old man has been preparing for his 60th birthday since he started two years ago. There was a storm like the Sino-Japanese War in the middle, and it finally stopped. As a young man who lost his father, young man lost his husband, middle-aged son, can he live to this day? It is good to be a woman, but now he has finally survived. How can he not be nice to himself? With a wave of his hand, he designed the "Drawing of the Longevity Scenery", and six million taels of silver were gone.
Officials of all sizes and big cities in Beijing were like they had rabies, biting people when they caught them, thinking of ways to make money, just to give Cixi a generous gift, and even said: I am stimulating domestic demand and making my own contribution to the sales of luxury goods in the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, the good people understood what was going on, and they shouted that you are not spending money, you are spending us, and you are wasting our taxpayers' money. Officials of all sizes will be in charge of the good people's life and death. Those who should eat, drink, and have fun and continue to eat, drink, and start to have a mistress.
As early as October 23, the officials of the border and other provinces had already kicked off the prelude to present the tribute to the tribute of 1008. All the Qing dynasties officials had only one purpose, which was to make the Lord Lafayette happy, measure the material resources of China, and win the Lord Lafayette's favor. In the past few days, you just need to stand at the gate of this city and throw two bricks into the Great Capital City, so that you can hit a few people wearing python robes and repair jackets.
In this situation where the country is full of red for thousands of miles, Ye Zhikui had to go back to Beijing with Li Hongzhang to celebrate the birthday of Lafayette in advance, and presented the original copy of the Pyongyang Treaty. Ye Zhikui, who dared not take the blame for the world, had already prepared gifts early and turned himself into a normal Qing official.
On November 7, Ye Zhikui stood on the deck of the Dingyuan and looked at the blue sky in the distance. Around the Dingyuan were several other warships of the Beiyang Fleet. Even Ye Zhikui, who had been shocked, was excited again every time he saw these giant ships and cannons. However, when he remembered what he said to Queen Min before boarding the ship, he felt a little melancholy.
One night before boarding the boat.
"I'm going back to the Qing Dynasty. Do you want to go with me?" Ye Zhikui looked at Queen Min's eyes and said seriously. If Queen Min's answer is yes, he has dozens of ways to get her to leave.
Queen Min closed her hair, avoided Ye Zhikui's eyes, and replied: "I wish you a step-by-step promotion here!"
Ye Zhikui turned around and she did not belong to him after all, she belonged to the entire North Korea.
Ye Zhikui returned the Korean army to Queen Min, but the middle and lower-level officers in the army were still Ye Zhikui's people. As long as he was willing, he could control the unit again. Wang Shizhen was temporarily left by him in North Korea to command the overall situation. The butcher left the Thirteen Eagles branch in North Korea, continuing to recruit people, and after having money, it developed faster, and the domestic headquarters also began to develop secretly. Everything was orderly.
"Brother Yun, what are you watching here?" A low voice with a slightly magnetic presence sounded behind him.
Just by distinguishing from the voice, Ye Zhikui knew who it was. It must be Deng Shichang, the new naval admiral he had been interested in making friends with these days. Deng Shichang was smart since childhood, strong and extremely strict with his subordinates. Ye Zhikui's temperament was almost the same as him, but he was more sleek, so the two of them cherished each other a little.
Ye Zhikui turned around and saw Deng Shichang walking towards him with a bottle of red wine and two high-legged glasses in his hand.
Ye Zhikui smiled slightly, let go of his melancholy, and joked: "I'm wondering, why is this sea full of water?"
Deng Shichang was embarrassed and handed Ye Zhikui a cup, saying, "This is a French wine. Today is the birthday of the palace. You and I can drink a cup with you and I." As the naval admiral, Deng Shichang certainly complained about the embezzlement of naval military expenses.
Ye Zhikui smiled bitterly and replied, "Yes, Brother Zhengqing, the rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are bones frozen to death on the road. This Qing Dynasty, alas!" After saying that, secretly observed Deng Shichang's expression.
Deng Shichang's expression changed a little, but he was not displeased. He just replied carefully: "Brother Congyun, be careful! There are rumors coming out."
Ye Zhikui looked surprised and said, "Can't you believe Brother Zhengqing? By the way, I heard that I have a very human-like dog named Sun." Ye Zhikui was a little curious about the sun that was famous in the future.
Just in response to that sentence, Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
Deng Shichang pointed to a dog not far away and said, "That's not!"
I saw the yellow hunting dog chasing a beautiful figure. Ye Zhikui smiled bitterly, and from a distance he heard the girl shouting, "Brother Ye, this dog is chasing me, come and save Xiao Linglong!" It was Xiao Linglong, but there was no trace of fear in his voice. She must have messed with the dog first.
Xiao Linglong was originally timid when she boarded the ship, afraid that she would be seasick and the sea. But after getting familiar with her, let alone not be afraid, even Ye Zhikui, who likes warships, is not as excited as her. She touches the warships east and touches the warships all day long, and has a lot of fun.
Deng Shichang whistled, and the yellow-haired hunting dog abandoned Xiao Linglong and ran over, waving its tail happily at Deng Shichang. This hunting dog is the mascot on the ship. During the long and boring voyage, it brought a lot of joy to the seafarers. Ye Zhikui heard that the pet on the Japanese flagship "Songdao" turned out to be an old yellow cow, and Ye Zhikui had to despise the little Japanese worldview.
Seeing this, Xiao Linglong dared to slowly approach. He knew that as soon as Xiao Linglong walked in, the sun ran towards her. This time, Xiao Linglong was really scared and screamed and threw herself on Ye Zhikui.
Deng Shichang showed a smile that even a man understood, and pulled his beloved dog away quietly, leaving a separate space for the two young men and women.
Ye Zhikui discovered why the sun had been chasing Xiao Linglong at first glance. It turned out that her soles were stained with some pastries and food. Xiao Linglong was wearing a blue and purple skirt with a knee-length lower collar today. There were sixteen streamers on the skirt, and each band was tied with a silver bell at the end. It looked good and made her figure look graceful.
Xiao Linglong hugged Ye Zhikui in fear and buried her head in front of his chest. Ye Zhikui felt her abdomen being shyly pressed against Xiao Linglong's chest. She lowered her head and saw her white and smooth neck and the charming collarbone exposed at the collar. She couldn't help but feel dry. She couldn't imagine that Xiao Linglong, who was not exposed on weekdays, would be so informative.
A sea breeze blew over, causing a slight sound of silver bells. Xiao Linglong also woke up from fear and found that she was in this position. She couldn't help feeling shy and hurriedly escaped from Ye Zhikui's chest.
Ye Zhikui would make her happy, gently hug her, her eyes were filled with a brilliant invasion, and her head was lowered, and then she slowly kissed her. Xiao Linglong had no idea what she should do, and stood stupidly and motionless, allowing Ye Zhikui to cleverly push her lips with her tongue and suck her girlish fragrance with force. Human instinct made Xiao Linglong react and began to respond stiffly.
After a long time, the two of them separated their lips and faced Hai Feng, Xiao Linglong hid in Ye Zhikui's chest and did not dare to look up to see him, but Ye Zhikui was staring in the distance. In that direction, the Qing Dynasty!
After a moment, Xiao Linglong squirmed slightly to make herself more comfortable. She asked, "Brother Ye, what kind of person is Lord Lamwo?" Xiao Linglong lived in North Korea since she was a child. Lord Lamwo is a strange and familiar name to her. She has never seen strangers before. People around her will talk about her from time to time, so she will ask questions.
"She?" Ye Zhikui was a little confused. After a moment, he continued: "He is an old man who is both pitiful, sad and hateful."
"Oh!" Although Xiao Linglong couldn't understand, she was very obedient and stopped talking. The two hugged each other tightly and drove towards the Qing Dynasty.
