Li Guolou glanced at him and said: "Mr. Xu, don't always talk about the project that ended quickly. Didn't the "Mauser" gun import project start in Wuhan? I’m afraid you’re still making flintlock guns by relying on your own efforts. I’m warning you for the last time not to invent dangerous projects and stay as far away from you as possible. Now you’re the deputy general manager of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Your life is the wealth of the country. More than 100 patents are not based on personal heroism”

Xu Jianyin puts one ear in and the other out. He will hear Li Guolou's long-winded and perfunctory words: "I know that Li Xuezheng's shooting range is here, let's watch the shooting first."

Deng Shichang was gearing up and eager to "cut in" and said, "My lords, please watch me fire the first shot myself."

Li Guolou looked at Deng Shichang's appearance and said: "Captain Deng fired a cannon by himself, I want to see a group of sharp gunners instead of a single person acting bravely."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, just watch it." Deng Shichang stood inside the fort, held up the binoculars and announced the coordinates of the target loudly.

One gunner turns the pulley barrel to the left with both hands, another gunner puts an [-]-pound weight drill into the gun chamber, and one gunner quickly closes the valve. The three gunners move smoothly and in one go.

"Fire" Deng Shichang roared at the top of his lungs

The cannon drew a beautiful arc and flew towards the target 500 meters away. That arc carried the hope of the rise of the Great Qingshui Division. Everyone on the mosquito boat clenched their fists excitedly and stared at the target floating on the sea.

The black flag was hung on the target floating on the sea, and there was a loud bang, and the wooden row was torn apart. The black flag collapsed, and the navy officers and soldiers cheered in unison. The flag officer waved two small red and yellow flags to signal the firing.

Mosquito boats fired at the shooting range one after another White waves surged on the sea One after another the targets were destroyed Black flags floated on the sea

Twenty mosquito boats formed various formations and sailed in the sea. The colored banners that were hoisted continuously issued instructions, and each mosquito boat hit the designated target.

Li Guolou came here with joy and returned with all his heart, and sang the song of the navy with the officers and soldiers of the navy

"Gong Jin Ou presents the sky, the people are happy, the algae is happy, the phoenix robe is lucky, the Zhenxi Empire is lucky in the Qing Dynasty, the sky is high, the sea is surging"

The singing voice is loud and clear, Deng Shichang is still in the mood to take the lead in singing the song of Mawei Shipping Academy

"Xuzai's naval youth learned to save the country

When the future breaks through the waves and rides the wind, we must work hard

The mainstay

Jingyun Banner exhibition buildings and boats are gorgeous

Taste the bravery and be strong-willed

Build meritorious deeds and avoid wasting time

May the honor of my sea school be higher than Beidou May my classmates be the heroes of the world”

Sailing all the way, singing constantly, Li Guolou accepted the baptism in the singing, and was very pleased that the Beiyang Navy has the scale of [-] mosquito boats. accept the cheers of the crowd

"Wow"

Huang Xiaoman was throwing up with the washbasin in his arms, his melon-seeded face was bluish, as if he was about to die, Li Guolou said a few words of relief at the side, he didn't show his love for his children, but walked out of the meeting room and came to the deck [

The mosquito boat was bumping very violently as the waves undulated. Black smoke billowed from the chimney.

Deng Shichang said in a deep voice: "Report to Li Xuezheng, our navy uses the Kailuan Coal Mine and the Wucao coal provided by the Kaiping Mining Bureau."

Li Guolou squinted and said: "Deng Shichang, you are quite good at talking, you don't need to write a draft when you lie, did you get this seat by flattering people?"

Deng Shichang was so frightened that he turned over and knelt on the deck and said urgently: "I dare not lie, everything I say is recorded in text, and I just read it according to the text."

"Fuck you, Deng Shichang, why don't you report to your superiors and take me to see the boiler room?"

Deng Shichang was so frightened that he rushed forward to lead the way, Li Guolou couldn't figure out his temper

Below the front cabin is the boiler room. Li Guolou picked up a piece of coal and held it in his hand to look at it with a grin on his face.

"Well, how dare you fool me!" Li Guolou wrapped the two pieces of coal in a handkerchief and put them in his pocket, left the boiler room and ignored Deng Shichang again.

Deng Shichang didn't dare to talk too much, he was afraid that things would get darker and darker, so he was an eighth-rank military officer, so he didn't have the right to speak, and hurriedly reported the whole story to Xu Jianyin

After hearing this, Xu Jianyin smiled and waved his hands: "Captain Deng, this matter has nothing to do with you. Li Xuezheng is famous for his poisonous tongue. It has become normal for him to fight with the officialdom. We will wait and see what happens and won't punish you. Deng Shichang Let me tell you the truth, how many slots of coal did you use?"

Deng Shichang lowered his head like a child who did something wrong and said: "Back to Mr. Xu, our mosquito boat uses eight-cao coal."

"Oh, it's almost no wonder Li Xuezheng got angry, Zhang Yi is going to be unlucky now." Xu Jianyin held back his smile with a gloating expression

Li Guolou's ruthlessness Xu Jianyin has long been taught. Li Guolou holds an official hat and silver in his hands, and he will be rewarded if he does well He was left out in the cold by Li Hongzhang until now because Li Guolou slandered Shen Baojing's ability to handle affairs.

Deng Shichang heard too many rumors and couldn't bear to ask: "President Xu heard that Li Xuezheng is a murderer who slaughtered hundreds of people in a day, would he use his knife and gun for the matter of Wuchao coal?"

"Deng Shichang, do you also believe that he is really naive? Have you seen Li Xuezheng's bodyguard? That horse cake has a leather whip stuck in his waist. This is Li Xuezheng's ultimate move. I understand." After being scolded and tired after the national building, I still go my own way

"Oh, I understand." Deng Shichang nodded and seemed to understand. He was even more afraid that if he offended Li Guolou, he would be whipped at any time. This is more embarrassing than being slapped by the school officer.

Deng Shichang looked at Xu Jianyin's schadenfreude expression and understood that Zhang Yi, the supervisor of the Kaiping Mining Bureau, was a good fruit. The third-rank official position is still a powerful faction. He is the coated slave of Prince Chun Yi, but he is a little bit comparable to Li Guolou.

In the evening, Li Guolou, as the host, invited Xu Jianyin, Deng Shichang, Liu Buchan, Lin Yongsheng and other Beiyang Navy officers to dinner, and showed displeasure, but was polite and thoughtful. The wine is the benefit of being high and powerful, and others dare to be honored

Li Guolou was the richest official and businessman in the Qing Dynasty, and he was also the purse of Li Hongzhang's lineage. No one would go and have trouble with the God of Wealth. At the banquet, Xu Jianyin frequently toasted Li Guolou to show the close relationship between the two.

Xu Jianyin hooked his shoulders and said in a low voice: "Li Xuezheng, I have a few friends who really want to invest in the Beijing-Han Railway Project, you have to give me face."

"President Xu doesn't speak ill of me. I don't want Hu Xueyan's money. I don't want him to do his business. I do mine. You know that I am a small-hearted person. He satirized my elder brother in the newspaper. Isn't he secretly scolding me and that man?" Mr. Fu Xiang will be very unhappy if you are a kind of person, understand?"

"Oh... I don't want to mention this person after I know it. Are you okay with the others?" Xu Jianyin is an official, a businessman, a wealthy and powerful person, and he will follow the wind. The train industry is the future of the nation. A knowledgeable person will Putting money into the construction of the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway As for the few friends Xu Jianyin said, most of them are his own relatives [

In the early morning, it was not the Qing Dynasty that was rich and the people were strong, but the country was poor and weak. The wealth of the country was concentrated in the hands of a few officials and businessmen. Li Guolou could only bring the Qing Dynasty to the road of revival by relying on the officials and businessmen. The premise is to make the officials and businessmen richer.

Li Guolou said like a spring breeze: "Mr. Xu, I also offer you a toast. Let's forget that the past is all about serving the public."

"Enough buddy" Xu Jianyin toasted happily, I don't know how many glasses he had with Li Guolou

Xu Jianyin and Li Guolou had conflicts. He once lost his temper with Li Guolou because of the big train project of Xiyanglou.

Afterwards, it was about the construction of [-] mosquito boats by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Xu Jianyin strongly opposed it. He thought that building [-] mosquito boats would be a waste of money and people. The maintenance cost is a huge expense. Xu Jianyin's thinking is the same as Li Hongzhang's, and he believes that the limited funds should be spent on purchasing cruisers. Only by forming a joint formation can the navy march into the deep sea.

However, Li Guolou stubbornly listened to Xu Jianyin's suggestion. In the name of fighting smugglers, Li Guolou bypassed the approval of the Ministry of War and built [-] mosquito boats in Shanghai.

The large train project of the Western Building and the [-] mosquito boat projects are still underway at full capacity. The Mosquito Boat Has Been a Great Innovation

Now the Beijing-Hanzhou railway project has been approved by the country, and the "government" has started to build the Ministry of Railways. Xu Jianyin thinks he is the biggest hero and wants to get a share of the big project. This kind of collusion between officials and businessmen to make a fortune was obvious in the Qing Dynasty. The premise is to find the right people.

Xu Jianyin drank too much and asked, "Li Xuezheng and others are still on vacation, why did you check the mosquito boat?"

Li Guolou smiled wickedly and said, "Mr. Xu is keeping this a military secret from you."

Xu Jianyin was extremely dissatisfied and said angrily: "If you don't say it, you don't say it's great. The new weapon I'm testing will also be kept secret from you."

Li Guolou snorted and said: "You still want to not pay patent fees because you are still imitating weapons from Western countries."

Xu Jianyin said loudly: "I am saving money for the country and self-reliance is the way to develop, otherwise what are the eighteen mosquito boats?"

The twenty mosquito boats are like Xu Jianyin's children watching the twenty mosquito boats ride the wind and waves for a long journey Xu Jianyin is full of energy to accept everyone's flattery, drunk and drunk, the banquet is not over yet and has been carried out

Li Guolou is very sober. Although the exercise at sea was successful, whether the mosquito ship can sail into the deep sea for actual combat has been practiced. Just now, he is so concerned about coal because the mosquito ship needs several cargo ships to load coal and supplies to go out to sea together. Coordinated operations, the coal is the heart of the mosquito ship. There is high-quality coal. If the coal in the boiler is not fully burned, the steam engine will have power. The ship will not run fast. If there is too much waste, it will easily cause damage to the steam engine. Therefore, Li Guolou is very fond of Zhang Yi, the supervisor of the Kaiping Mining Bureau. Li Guolou was thinking in his mind whether to kill Zhang Yi, beat Zhang Yi severely, or write a letter to impeach Zhang Yi.

How many officials will protect Zhang Yi for their own benefit? Thinking of the rules in the officialdom, Li Guolou is outraged. Zhang Yi is a third-rank civil servant. It is not easy to snatch Zhang Yi's official hat, and it will cause a court battle. But time. To waste time on litigation, use the full rules to attack Zhang Yi, Li Guolou's eyes are fierce, drink it all up, drag Zhang Yi out of the bed, beat him up, and then talk about the rules of officialdom

Li Guolou is different now from the men who lead the troops in the past. He has a murderous look on his body. He sits there contemplatively, thinking about military training. One of the twenty captains dares to come forward to toast Xu Jianyin. Once he leaves, Li Guolou looks so ugly and scary. It's about beating people. All the officers of the Beiyang Navy know that Li Guolou likes to beat his subordinates with a whip. The disaster of Wucaomei. I don't know who will be unlucky. Deng Shichang is probably the first one.
