Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan smiled, and thought to himself: "Why is the reception standard so high this time? It seems that the Qing government attached great importance to the reform." Lin Yuan walked to the Imperial Garden with Li Lianying while thinking, and put The pistol was handed over to a young eunuch for safekeeping.

It was the first time for Lin Yuan to come to the Imperial Garden. He had seen many gardens in mansions, such as Zhang Ziyu's family, and Li Hongzhang's and Yang Changjun's, but their gardens were really different from those of the Imperial Garden. It pales in comparison, like a pigsty.

Under the leadership of Li Lianying, Lin Yuan walked through the wonderland-like exotic flowers and plants and pavilions, and suddenly heard the sound of Jinghu and gongs and drums coming from the front. Soon, I saw a stage in the distance, and beside it was a tall building. Li Lianying said with a smile, "Would you like to go up and listen to Lafayette and His Majesty? Lafayette is very happy to hear that you can also sing operas. Sing something."

Lin Yuan laughed secretly in his heart: "How can I sing? The one who can sing is my music player!" Is there an ambush in the garden? I need to check it out." Lin Yuan then said, "This imperial garden is so beautiful, I've never seen it before, why don't Manager Li show me around?"

Li Lianying smiled and said, "Where does Marshal Lin want to go? The slave will accompany you."

Lin Yuan looked at the surrounding scenery and thought: "If the ambush is really underway, it can only be in the woods on the east or the veranda on the west." So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "When I came, I saw the paintings on the veranda. It’s very delicate, why don’t you go to the west corridor to have a look first.”

While agreeing, Li Lianying took Lin Yuan to the veranda on the west side, and told Lin Yuan about the paintings on the veranda with great interest. Lin Yuan found that there were small rooms beside the veranda, and he didn't know what they were for. , I couldn't help thinking: "If something happens, these can be temporarily hidden and send a rescue signal to the outside world."

After turning around the veranda, Lin Yuan found that there was no one else except some eunuchs and maids, so Lin Yuan said, "Let's go to the woods to the east." So Li Lianying took Lin Yuan to the woods to the east, and when he found that there was no ambush, Lin Yuan said Feeling relieved, a young eunuch came over and said, "Lafayette has already asked the troupe to withdraw, and now invite Lin Shuai to come over. Lafayette is tired of watching plays, so I won't see Master Lin today."

Li Lianying walked back with Lin Yuan, only then did Lin Yuan hear that the sound of Jinghu and drums had disappeared, replaced by a melodious and melodious piano sound, which was delicate and sweet, much better than Yang Weiting's playing.Li Lianying took Lin Yuan to a small pavilion by the water, there was a table in the pavilion, only Emperor Guangxu was sitting at the table, Li Lianying stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Lin Shuai's servant has already brought it. "

Emperor Guangxu stood up, walked in front of Lin Yuan, and said with a smile, "Lin Aiqing, I think you are thinking so hard! Come on, come on, have a drink with me, and talk about reform and innovation." Lin Yuan sat down with Emperor Guangxu, and Li Lianying smiled and said, "Forgive me for talking too much, Mr. Lin has been on the train for two days, and he didn't even have a fresh meal. How can he drink alcohol on an empty stomach? Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Emperor Guangxu laughed loudly, and said: "I just want to listen to Lin Aiqing's talk about the reform and innovation, and forget about this trouble, come and pass on the food." A little lady next to him listened, and turned around and shouted: "Chuan Shan !" The other little eunuchs were like a relay, passing one by one, and soon a group of maids came forward with exquisite wooden trays.

The maids put the delicate dishes on the table one by one, and went outside with the wooden plate, and soon came to the last one. The maids kept their heads down when they served the dishes, so Lin Yuan saw only the side dishes. When he saw the profile of the last lady-in-waiting, he couldn't help thinking, "Where have I seen this woman before?"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to take a closer look, the woman had already turned and walked away. Lin Yuan then stared at her back, while Emperor Guangxu smiled and said, "Lin Aiqing, why are you staring at that court lady?"

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "No, no, I was thinking about the reform, and I was distracted for a while."

Emperor Guangxu smiled and said: "You are still embarrassed, I will just give you that maid!" Then he laughed loudly, and Lin Yuan said: "I already have one, let's not talk about this one for now." Now that things are over, let’s talk about reforms and innovations.”

When Emperor Guangxu heard this, he slapped the table suddenly, and said with a smile: "By the way, I recently got a new gadget, which is a Western object. Come and have a look."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "According to historical records, Emperor Guangxu liked Western things very much, especially cameras, and he also liked to take pictures of others. It is said that many photos of empresses and concubines in the Qing Dynasty that have been handed down were taken by Emperor Guangxu. , could it be a camera?"

Just as Lin Yuan was thinking about it, he heard Emperor Guangxu yell, "Bring the thing up!" Seeing a dozen or so guards carrying a big guy covered in thatch up, Lin Yuan thought to himself, "What's in here? ? Why is it still covered with a sheet?"

When the things were brought up, several guards lifted the tarpaulin and saw the things inside: at the bottom was a platform with a tripod on it, and a rectangular object on the tripod, with a glass lens at the front and a glass lens at the back. Lin Yuan recognized the handle at a glance. This thing turned out to be a video camera used for filming in this era!

Emperor Guangxu said: "I used to use a camera, but the things photographed by the camera are dead and can't move. This thing is more fun, and the things photographed can move!"

Lin Yuan pointed to the platform under the tripod and asked, "What is that platform doing together?"

Emperor Guangxu said: "The foreigner who sold us this thing said: When using this thing, the ground must be flat, otherwise it will not look good, so I need such a platform, so I even bought the platform together!"

Lin Yuan smiled secretly: "That foreign businessman is really brave! Even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty dared to fool him! If you want a stable camera, a tripod is enough, and you don't need a stand at all!"

At this time, Emperor Guangxu smiled and said, "I don't know if Lin Aiqing has seen this thing before? Go and have a look." Then he pulled Lin Yuan to the camera. The cameras Lin Yuan had seen were all small and exquisite. It was the first time he saw the big guy, so he followed Emperor Guangxu to the edge of the platform.

Emperor Guangxu pointed to the platform and said with a smile, "Go up and have a look."

Lin Yuan asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to watch it with me?"

Emperor Guangxu smiled and said, "I will play with it when I have time. You should go and see it. You know so many things. Let me see if you can find out how it works."

Lin Yuan smiled and walked up to the platform. When he was in the middle, he suddenly heard a "bang". From the corner of his eye, he saw that a guard kicked the platform hard. Lin Yuan was startled and thought: "What is he doing kicking the platform when he has nothing to do? Moreover, it is a capital offense for a guard to even move at this occasion. How dare he kick the platform that Emperor Guangxu regards as a treasure?"

Lin Yuan was wondering when he heard a "click" from behind him, and then Lin Yuan heard a series of strange noises coming from behind him. Just as he was about to look back, he felt something rushing up from behind him, and the thing fell on the ground immediately. On himself, Lin Yuan looked up, and then realized: he has been covered in the core by a big sheet!
