The homeland was windy again last night

Guangxu 14 years.In summer, the Bohai Sea is light, and in winter, the Beiyang Navy is built.

At the end of the year, Guangzhou.

The man in court clothes stood with his hands behind his back, watching the alfalfa wilt and sink into the mud under the window, and the old shepherd's purse shivering.

He used to practice martial arts with him on days like this, tucking their necks into their collars, looking at each other, laughing until they rolled into a ball.

The maidservant in plain clothes was packing her bags. "The sleep-soothing medicine is placed in the inner layer. Is Mr. Li leaving soon?" Covered the rattan box and stood it against the cabinet.

"Yeah." He turned around and lifted the box to the table, "The boat tomorrow morning."

"Do you want Yinger to go with you?" she asked.

"It's been seven years since you followed me from Shanghai to this place. You can go back to your hometown when I leave for work."

"Master Li..." She looked at his expression and closed her mouth.

"Going north to Weihaiwei is not as good as going south to Fuzhou to study. It's not something you can follow."

"Where is Miss Lu, can she follow?" Women are always like this, once they get impatient, they will speak freely.

"Miss Lu is going with her family!" Sure enough, he was a little angry, but his voice was not high, he just frowned, and the speed of his speech became faster, "If you want to go so much, just follow, don't say anything more."

Ying'er remained silent, turned her face away and retreated.After taking care of him for seven years, he is still as strange as the first day.Either thinking about strange things alone, or being so indifferent that it makes people tremble.

Lu Jia Xincheng and him were classmates, and now they will be colleagues. They have known each other for five years.And Miss Lu is Xin Cheng's older sister.Widowed at her natal home since she was 22 years old, she met by chance.They didn't study together in Nanyuan, and they didn't coax her with little girl things, and they didn't talk sweetly about each other.But she just appeared unexpectedly, looked at him quietly, and smiled at him quietly.He almost wants to believe that there is nothing inferior to him, and there is nothing he can't let go of.

However, she may not be able to go with her as she wishes.

In the tenth year of Guangxu's Majiang naval battle, he and Xin Cheng were still studying at the Mawei Shipbuilding Academy. Hearing of the disastrous defeat of the Fujian Navy, he was filled with righteous indignation and angrily reprimanded Zhang Peilun and other generals. It happened that Lu's elders knew about it, and they were frightened by Zhang and Li's relatives, so they had a good defense against him. In addition, coupled with the contemptuous attitude of the elders towards maritime affairs, the matter between the eldest lady and him is absolutely unwilling to nod.

Now that the order has been transferred, he and Xin Cheng will go to Shandong together, serving as the second-class management flag and the third-class management cabin respectively.

"Brother Li Min!" There was a casual customer outside the door, but he called him by his first name.

"Xin Cheng?"

Opening the door to greet her, Ying'er has already poured two cups of tea.

I'm leaving tomorrow and I still have something to explain, but Xin Cheng doesn't have it, and my sister at home certainly has it.He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Min.

Pulling out the letter paper, there was a scent of tea on it. The jade plate was decorated with beautiful handwriting. From the corner of the eye, he glanced at Xin Cheng. He had already bowed his head to taste the tea with interest, and he couldn't help but praise Yinger's tea art.Fu bowed his head to read the letter again, only a few words, but read it for a long time.

Invited personally by Zi Min, he entered the gate of my lovesickness, knowing that my lovesickness is bitter, long lovesickness is long-term lovesickness, short-term lovesickness is infinite.Sijun is also willing to treat each other forever, don't let the colored paper go without returning it.

I wrote a reply on the coffee table, and I wrote half of the sentence that once the sea was too difficult, except that Wushan was not a cloud, and then hesitated to remove it and rewrite it. In the end, it was just a few words to express my heart.

Even if you don't give up, it's just as light as water and as clear as clouds, never too deep and never too thick, maybe it's not deep enough to entrust Miss Lu with such a heart.

"That's it? Father doesn't allow my sister to go with me. My sister's eyes are swollen like peaches. Are you going to send her away with these two sentences?"

"She understands me."

"You are not afraid, what if you don't come back? The Qing Dynasty is so weak, if it is a battle, if it is a martyrdom?"

"You also know that the Qing Dynasty is weak. How can you indulge your children's private affairs?"

"Forget it. You have always been like this, should you praise your six senses for cleanliness, or take care of the overall situation? Why is my sister willing?"

Early the next morning, when Li Min boarded the boat, Ying'er followed him with a shy face, silently and stubbornly.

He stood on the deck looking into the distance, Ying'er persuaded him to enter the cabin, saying that Miss Lu would not come to see him off.

He ignored it and just stared blankly.The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap.The whole sea is under your feet.

After a few days of turbulence, Ying'er was already very weak, but she was willing to travel with adults on the sea, even if she got seasick, she had no choice but to bear it by herself.

Finally arrived at Weihaiwei, it was almost the Spring Festival.Someone came to welcome them on the pier. It was said that they were new consultants who were about the same age as them, but they had already returned from studying in the United States.As one of the first batch of overseas students in the Qing Dynasty, Ma Jianghai studied at Yale University. Before the war, Ma Jianghai returned to China with three classmates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and served in the Fujian Navy. After the First World War, all of his classmates died in the country.As soon as he was transferred to Beiyang, he was promoted to a consultant.

He stepped forward and gave a long bow.Only by raising your head again can you see this talented person clearly.She is really young, with cunning intelligence in her brows.He called himself Steven and took them straight to the boat station.

Several cruisers parked along the coast, with yellow feather gauze flags and cyan five-clawed dragons flying around their bows.Li Min stood at the foot of the Zhiyuan ship, with a halberd approaching in the distance, handsome and brilliant.

A mayfly's life is short, but a great cause is also accomplished.
