Super dictator.

Of course Wei Jichen didn't sleep with Maud that night. He wanted to tear Maud's haughty appearance step by step and penetrate into her heart, but he also knew that it was too hasty.

When leaving, Wei Jichen checked Maud's friendship with him, and it was only 40 points. Although it was still far from 90 points, it was much better than the initial 10 points.

The next day, Wei Jichen took Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui and others to Haikou, and the coastal guns were dismantled by the Japanese. Wei Jichen reported to Wang Wenshao, requesting that the cannons be sent over quickly. Or exchanged from other places in Liaodong.

Coastal artillery is the only defense system along the coast in this era, so it is not unimportant, and it naturally aroused Wei Jichen's attention.

The original coastal artillery at Lushunkou did not give the Japanese fleet much lethality. The main reason was that the Japanese attacked from both sides, and the rear land was lost first.

This time, Wei Jichen learned the lessons of the Sino-Japanese War and redesigned the coastal artillery to increase the firepower against the rear.

There are countless trees planted in Lushun Haikou, most of which are willows. The old trees are whirling, and the fallen leaves are withered and yellow.

Li Hongzhang spent a huge amount of material and financial resources on Lushunkou, but in the end it was nothing, Wei Jichen thought with emotion.

Under the withered and yellow leaves, Wei Jichen found several men standing there.

One of them was a middle-aged literati, with a dignified appearance and an immortal demeanor, as if he did not belong to the world. Wei Jichen immediately fell in love with him. This was the first time he had seen such a character when he came to the Qing Dynasty, and it surprised Wei Jichen a little. Surprisingly, this scribe was actually wearing a sword.

In the Qing Dynasty, Wen Tian Wuxi, let alone a literati, even a military general, had fewer horses, more sedan chairs, fewer swords, and more money. This man was obviously dressed as a literati, but he was wearing a sword. , which is rare.

However, Wei Jichen was a practicing family, but he could see some clues. This scribe walked with strength and strength, and his own standard. His sword was not just for show, but a real swordsman.

"Who could this be?" Wei Jichen was very surprised that there were such people in Qing Dynasty.

Then look at the person next to him, who is eight feet tall, with protruding muscles like iron lumps, with inexhaustible strength, and what is even more shocking is that he is holding a Qinglongyanyue sword, which probably weighs no less than 100 kilograms.

Wei Jichen was very surprised, his eyes burst out, this is a master.

The two people behind should be Tong or something, each of them is holding a guqin.

"Wei Shuai, do you want to drive this person away?" Wang Huaiqing looked at the four people vigilantly. They both had swords and knives, and they looked like Lianjiazi. In Wang Huaiqing's mind, he was an extremely dangerous person .

Wei Jichen smiled and shook his head, "This place is not far from the military forbidden area, so we can't drive people away for no reason, just let them go."

Wang Shizhen didn't care too much, with people like herself protecting him, could those four men be able to hurt Wei Shuai?

"Wei Shuai, in the opinion of my subordinates, it is better to add a few fixed forts here, so as to reduce a lot of shooting dead spots. If the enemy ships want to enter the port again, they will have to pay a big price." Wang Shizhen said seriously, Before coming here, he had already done various investigations, and he was confident at this time.

Duan Qirui obviously held different opinions, and retorted with a smile: "Master Wang only considers dealing with targets at sea, and he forgot to deal with targets behind him. We have limited funds, and we must do everything perfectly. Therefore, my subordinates suggest that Wei Shuai does not need to build additional forts. Just like the Dagukou, it is enough to plant more mines in Haikou to form a minefield."

Both of them were from the artillery team. Duan Qirui saw with his own eyes how his fortress fell into the hands of the Japanese in Weihaiwei. Therefore, his mentality has long since changed. He believes that fixed fortresses are of little use. , just use the mobile position.

Wei Jichen was very relieved to see the two generals under his command arguing on the basis of reason, the mother said the mother was right, and the father said the public was right, he was very relieved, he was afraid that the generals under him would be dead.

"Okay, okay! Let's go back and discuss this matter together." Wei Jichen saw that the two of them were blushing, so he had no choice but to speak out as a peacemaker.

"Huaiqing, let someone spread out the army blanket and serve food and drink. After we have lunch, we will continue to inspect." Wei Jichen happened to be a little hungry, so he said with a smile.

Wang Huaiqing responded, and ordered his soldiers to spread the food and wine under an old tree.

Sitting down, Wang Shizhen and others were a little cautious, but Wei Jichen got up and poured a glass of wine for each of them himself.

Both Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui were shocked, they stood up in fear and fear, not even daring to speak.

However, Wei Jichen solemnly toasted them first, and then said: "Pinqing and Zhiquan have worked so hard to set up the Liao Army for me these days, and they deserve my Wei Jichen's glass of wine."

Xu Daobang and Ma Jinxu are veteran generals. It is no problem to let them set up camp and lead troops to go out, but it is a bit difficult for them to use Western-style military tactics to train the army. The infantry drills and artillery training matters compiled by the Liao army are all Wang Shizhen. Compiled by Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others together with German professors.

Wang Shizhen is a person who doesn't like to make publicity, but he doesn't care about the details. As long as Wei Jichen entrusts him with it, he will do his best. the meaning of.

In the compiled books, not only did Wei Jichen be portrayed as a wise and brave general, but also how Wei Jichen cherished the soldiers as brothers was vividly written, so that the soldiers believed that Wei Jichen was not only their food and clothing, but also their absolute leader , Trying to cultivate soldiers' absolute obedience and loyalty.

No wonder this person can become the Dragon of Beiyang in the future, but he is not as enthusiastic about power as Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui, and won Yuan Shikai's trust.

Wei Jichen was happy in his heart, and when the glass was drained, he had a mighty air.

At this moment, a burst of solemn and stirring poetry sounded.

"There is nothing in the world that can bear the sorrow of autumn. When Xiang Canghao rests in pain, [-] million people cry together. Where is China in the world!"

Wei Jichen turned his head, and saw the literati weeping in the willows, drinking alone in front of the sea, obviously feeling sad, probably remembering the Sino-Japanese War or something.

"These scholars can only write one or two sour poems and howl twice. In today's world, how many people like Wei Shuai have worked so hard to avenge their shame?" Although Duan Qirui What he said was a little flattering, but it was not unreasonable.

In today's court, there are indeed too few people who do practical things.

Wei Jichen and the others were all wearing casual clothes, so the literati didn't know that Wei Jichen and the others were officials, otherwise he didn't know if he would have chanted 'Where is the end of the world is China'.

Wei Jichen smiled without saying a word, just toasted and drank.

Soon, there was another mournful and sad sound of the qin. Wei Jichen turned his head and saw that the scribe was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, stroking the qin and playing.

Now, Wang Huaiqing was not happy, everyone was happy drinking here, but the scribe played such a sad tune, anyone would be a little depressed.

"Wu Na is a sour scholar. If you want to play the piano, don't bother us to drink and talk." Wang Huaiqing shouted loudly.

"En!" The big man standing next to the scribe opened his eyes, his eyes were shining brightly, his eyes were as bright as the scorching sun above the nine heavens, staring at Wang Huaiqing.

Wang Huaiqing was like an enraged leopard, staring back without showing any weakness, the two of them stared at each other and I stared at you, no one would let the other, they didn't even blink their eyes, and they were still slowly approaching.

Wei Jichen wanted to try the big man's martial arts, but he didn't make a sound to stop him.

Wang Huaiqing and the big man have never met before, so why are their swords drawn and swords drawn when they meet, and the war is about to break out?The biggest reason is to meet an opponent and intend to compete.

The two were already standing face to face, and Wei Jichen and the others looked at them solemnly.

boom!

Two big feet stomped on the ground, making a shocking sound, as if a heavy hammer had hit the ground. The ground was overwhelmed and trembled.

Needless to say, Wang Huaiqing was the number one general in the Dingliao Army, otherwise he would not have become the captain of the personal army. Back then when Wei Jichen was injured, he walked like flying with the helmet on his back, without any pressure. Unexpectedly, the man opposite him would have such momentum.

I saw the two people stretched out their right hands and held each other tightly, their arms were covered with veins, like earthworms.

"Ho!"

The two shouted at the same time, like a tiger roaring, shaking people's eardrums.

There was a palpitating sound of joint rubbing, and the eyes of both of them burst out, frightening.

In the whole world, it seemed that there were only two people left.

This is a contest of brute force, and I saw that the two of them were breathing more and more heavily, and their faces were as red as drunk.

"Hey!" Wang Shizhen yelled softly, because he found that Wang Huaiqing's right hand was pressed down bit by bit.

Interesting, Wei Jichen's heart moved slightly.

"rise!"

The big man bit his lip tightly and let out a growl. His veins swelled out of anger, and Wang Huaiqing was even worse. The veins on his arms, neck, and forehead were like twisted branches of old trees, and his eyeballs were bloodshot, staring out of their sockets.

Seeing that Wang Huaiqing was about to be overthrown to the ground, the scribe next to him said, "Brother Wang, why hurt your peace."

"Young master is right!" The man withdrew his strength, Wang Huaiqing lightened his body, and said hoarsely: "I lost."

The two stared at each other, found the appreciation and excitement in each other's eyes, and felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

"Wang Huaiqing!"

"Wang Wu!"

Wei Jichen on the side was delighted when he heard that man called himself Wang Wu, could it be that the scribe was Tan Sitong.

Tan Sitong was one of the people Wei Jichen respected in the late Qing Dynasty.

"I smile to the sky from the sidelines, and I will keep my heart and gall in Kunlun." He is proud and composed.

Tan Sitong has the pride of an ancient righteous man and the magnanimous heart of a chivalrous man. He learned swordsmanship from Wang Wu at the age of 12, and began to travel the world with swords at the age of 20. He traveled up and down the Yellow River, from north to south, and was a comet in the ideological world of the late Qing Dynasty. In his short life, he left behind An article on the study of benevolence, spewing out the light of ten thousand zhang, sweeping away the power of clarification.

"Meeting is fate. If you don't think a certain wine is too weak, why don't you come and have a drink." Wei Jichen thought to himself, and he was not slow in his mouth. Seeing that Wang Wu and Wang Huaiqing cherished each other, he couldn't help laughing and said to the scholar, whether it was Tan Sitong or not , this person is extraordinary, and it is worth making friends with yourself.

The scribe put away the qin and handed it to Tong beside him. He walked over quickly and said with a calm smile, "If that's the case, then I'll bother you sir."

Only then did Wei Jichen take a closer look, and saw that he was in his thirties, wearing a moon-white gown and a black warrior outfit, with his left hand on his hip and a sword in his right. Death's awe-inspiring righteousness.

"Could it be Liuyang Tan Fusheng?" Wei Jichen asked with narrowed eyes.

Tan Sitong was curious, but he didn't expect that his identity had already been guessed. When he walked not far away, he saw that Wei Jichen had an admirable majesty in his gestures, without any pretense, but showed it naturally.

Who is this person? Although he is young and handsome, he has the appearance of a dragon and a tiger. There is an aura of swallowing mountains and rivers and looking down on the world between Gu Pan.

"It's Tan, who is your brother?" Tan Sitong said with a smile as he lightly clasped his fist at Wei Jichen.

"Why do we need to know each other before, just sit down and drink." Wei Jichen pointed lightly at the ground and said calmly.

Wei Jichen knew that Tan Sitong was considered an outstanding figure in this era. He criticized the autocratic monarchy system and the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Principles, and believed that for those reckless autocratic monarchs, not only can they not be killed, but everyone can be punished.

Tan Sitong is different from Kang Youwei. Tan Sitong's character is like a chivalrous man in ancient times. He can die for righteousness, die for the ideals in his heart, sacrifice his life, and be generous. Compared with Kang Youwei, he is much inferior.

"Brother Tan is holding the Fengju Sword?" Wei Jichen asked curiously.

Knowing that the Fengju Sword was Wen Tianxiang's old possession, Wei Jichen naturally wanted to take a look at it. Later generations heard that Tan Sitong cherished this sword as much as his life and never left his body, so he guessed it was this sword.

"Brother Tai is also a good swordsman!" Tan Sitong smiled slightly, and saw that Wei Jichen also had a long sword beside him, so he handed his Phoenix Sword into Wei Jichen's hands.

Wei Jichen was a little stunned. Tan Sitong handed over such a precious thing to someone who had just met each other with complete peace of mind.

"Thank you Brother Tan for taking a look at the sword." Wei Jichen's movements were not slow, and anyone would be excited when encountering such a famous sword.

hum…

With a dragon's chant, Wei Jichen pulled out the phoenix, the body of the sword flowed like autumn waves, and the hilt interpreted the traces of time.

"Good sword!" Wei Jichen stood up, holding the sword in one hand, and began to dance vigorously.

"...Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles away,..." Wei Jichen sang while dancing.

This sword dancing technique was learned from General Qin when he returned to the Qin Kingdom. Unexpectedly, he used it today. Everyone was dazzled and their hearts fluttered.

"Wei Shuai is indeed an extraordinary person, he can even practice such ancient sword dancing skills, could he be the descendant of that family?" Duan Qirui thought to himself.

The Duan family has been passed down for many generations. Duan Qirui first thought about it, but I heard that Wei Shuai was from a mediocre family.
