The homeland was windy again last night

In the winter of Liugong Island, there is often heavy snow, and the three of them walked silently, leaving a series of footprints on the white snow.He has always disliked snow, the surface of the water will freeze, and it will be as lifeless as the sky in the haze.The barnyard grass is withered, and it is barren.

"Where is your origin? Can you tell us something interesting about foreigners?" Seeing the silence of the other two, Lu Xincheng casually picked up some gossip.

"Are you also interested in these?" Mr. Shi was a little surprised. He thought he would meet two more mutilated camphor heads.

"The West is so advanced in the Qing Dynasty. From the first opium war to now, foreigners have bullied the Chinese people like ants with their astonishing artifacts." Li Min still spoke softly, but couldn't hide his anger.

"That's not true! When I first arrived in the United States, those white children blatantly bullied me!" Master Shi said loudly, drawing the other two people's attention.

And he thinks of his playmates from childhood.

"Yeah, don't you believe me?" When he walked into the quiet place, Master Shi's voice became more relaxed and abrupt, "Don't call me an adult, I am younger than you." After entering the house, he became even more presumptuous , the habits of foreigners were completely contaminated, and he even took off his court clothes in front of his face, revealing the foreigner's pullover underneath.

"My lord." Li Min frowned, slightly dissatisfied.

Lu Xincheng stared wide-eyed, watching in disbelief.

"I don't even have a fireplace. I'm freezing to death. I still have to wear such clothes." He dragged out the suitcase from under the cabinet and took out a foreign suit to put on, only to find that the other two The two kept staring at themselves, "Actually, the backwardness of the Qing Dynasty is not only in utensils, but also in politics, ideology, and customs." He wrapped another scarf and sat down to talk with them.

"Then, in your opinion, how should the Qing Dynasty learn from the West?" When Li Min was studying at Tongwenguan in Shanghai, he had already experienced the temperament of foreign teachers, and he probably had developed such a habit in the United States for several years.

"Although the current Westernization Movement has begun to learn, the utensils are only superficial after all. If we can go deep layer by layer and finally reach the thought, then the Qing Dynasty will not be beaten. I studied civil engineering in the United States, and I know everything else. Not much." Jing Boran said it outright, not afraid of suspicion from outsiders at all, but he studied civil engineering but became a consultant, if he was good at shipbuilding, he knew little about naval warfare. "Although our official positions are higher than yours, we are not as good as you in maritime affairs. This is also a bad practice. Officials are selected regardless of their majors!"

Li Min marveled at Steven's broad-minded insight.I don't know if the young master has acquired such an enlightened vision while abroad.

Steven, Lu Xincheng and Li Min, after all, are the same passionate young people. Apart from practicing every day, they discuss the strategy of saving the country together. From Britain, where the sun never sets, to the newly rising America, even the people around them are not to be underestimated. look at Japan...

Li Min probably forgot that there was a girl waiting in a certain Gexuanchuang in a small southern town.

A bridal sedan chair is also good, and a letter from home is also good.

The Beiyang Marine Division is known as the sixth in the world and the number one in Asia. The Chinese people are proud of it. Naturally, it also attracts many Westerners to visit and investigate, either individually or leading a team.Most of them were received by overseas officials like Jing Boran. They wanted to promote the country's prestige, but they were surprisingly approachable.

During the day, Li Min often went to listen and benefited a lot.In the evening, I habitually took the pills, wrote notes casually, and then fell asleep without thinking about anything, and never dreamed of that patch of alfalfa shaking slightly.Far and near.

"What time is it? Is the Japanese envoy arriving today?" Steven poked his head out of the quilt roll, and a drop of ink dripped from the tip of the fountain pen, dripping onto the page in his hand. He didn't know it, and just squinted at the wall clock on the cabinet .

"Two points." Li Min was at the table, playing with the model of the Zhiyuan ship. Armstrong Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has manufactured a new ship with a displacement of 10000 tons and a spiral rifle with a 320mm muzzle. The speed can reach 16 knots. How about Weihaiwei? If you can play, ask the imperial court to buy new ships.

"Hey, actually, I really don't want to receive this group of people, you arrogant Japanese!"

"It is said that there is another Chinese. He is still studying at the Jiangtian Island Naval Academy, but he has already held an important position in the Japanese Navy. I forgot what his name is. It seems that his surname is Wei." The tighter it is, the fleet cannot expand at all except for military pay and daily expenses, which is a nerve-wracking thing.

And Li Min couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.Wei?Who else has the surname Wei?

How could it be him? He obviously went to the United States, wearing a silk-like tie hanging from the beam, studying on the vast grass of the university, and coming back in a few years, he is as knowledgeable and far-sighted as Steven.no.

"Let's go get ready, and you won't be able to send them away. Generally, foreign missions only visit ships, so that's what they should do." Xin Cheng got up to leave. He had just been assigned to the Jiyuan ship. I'm afraid that after the Nagasaki incident, Japanese Still don't like it.

When the waiter came to report, the time was exactly the same as that on the telegram.They walked out of the house, where the embassy was already waiting outside.

Li Min recovered from the model, raised his head, glanced at the envoys, his eyes froze suddenly.

Comely face, slender and bright eyes.
