Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Chen Yunqing said again: "You may not know that the reason why this little De Zhang is favored is because of his youth and beauty, so the Empress Dowager Cixi..." After finishing speaking, he laughed smugly.

Of course, Lin Yuan understood the meaning of these words. There was no man in the deep palace, so the concubines and maids hired eunuchs to play tricks of fake phoenix phoenix. He still held a skeptical attitude, but after listening to Guan'er's narration about the life in the palace, he understood that these rumors were impossible to happen. No matter where the Empress Dowager Cixi went, there was a large group of maids following her, how could she have an affair with an eunuch .

Lin Yuan didn't say much to Chen Yunqing, so he came to the living room where Xiao Dezhang was. Lin Yuan stood at the door and was about to go in when he suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly called Liu Yufeng and asked, "This little girl How many followers did De Zhang bring?"

Liu Yufeng said: "95, fifteen eunuchs, forty guards with swords..."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, interrupted his words, and then asked: "Where are these people now?"

Liu Yufeng replied: "We arranged for them to eat and rest in a restaurant."

Lin Yuan ordered: "Don't let these people run around, especially don't let them go to the barracks, understand?"

Liu Yufeng said: "Shuai Lin, why don't you let them go to the barracks? Wouldn't it be good to show our military might in front of them?"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to explain, he saw an orderly running out from inside and said to Lin Yuan, "Shuai Lin, why are you still here? Eunuch Zhang inside is waiting impatiently!"

When Lin Yuan heard this, he said to Liu Yufeng: "It's too late to explain now. In short, you should handle this matter yourself! If there is a mistake, my life will be gone!"

Liu Yufeng stopped asking, and went back to prepare. Lin Yuan stepped in, ready to meet this little Dezhang.It turned out that the reason why Lin Yuan didn't dare to let Xiaode Zhang enter the barracks was very simple. Although Lin Yuan didn't set up a political department in his army, he didn't dare to relax his political work at all.

To put it simply, the political work of the army is to unify the thinking of officers and soldiers, so that on the battlefield, they can think with one mind and exert their strength with one mind.In fact, the ancient army also had political work, but there was no such word. The ancient army must have preached loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but Lin Yuan talked a lot about patriotism in the army, but there was no such thing as "loyalty to the emperor" .

People in this era, because they have little contact with things, think less, and it is easy to believe what others say, so in Lin Yuan's army, a situation of "only knowing Lin Yuan, but not the emperor" has formed. There have been precedents for such a situation in history, such as the Yue family army who "knew only Yue Fei, but not the emperor". There is no doubt that such an army would not end well.

So Lin Yuan didn't dare to let Xiao De Zhang go to the army. If Xiao De Zhang really went back and described it embellishingly with Empress Dowager Cixi, the Qing court really wanted to kill him, then he could only tear himself apart with them, and the civil war would not be enough. It is inevitable, and this is what Lin Yuan is unwilling to see anyway.

As soon as Lin Yuan entered the door, there were soldiers who wanted to go in to report. Lin Yuan stopped him with his hand and said, "Shut up, take me to the room next to Xiao Dezhang, I'll take a look first."

Lin Yuan came to the room where Xiao Dezhang was staying, and through the window, he saw a handsome young eunuch walking around in the room, with a few attendants standing beside him with bowed heads, Lin Yuan knew that Xiao Dezhang was born in 1876 and was only 20 years old this year, so he immediately identified that young eunuch as Xiao Dezhang.

Xiao Dezhang said angrily to the crowd: "This Lin Yuan is too outrageous. It has been so long, why the incense case can't be finished for so long! I really don't take Lafayette and the Holy One seriously." After finishing speaking, He complained about Lin Yuan again.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I can't wait any longer, let's go by myself." So Lin Yuan walked out of the house with a smile, and said to Xiao De Zhang: "Eunuch Zhang, Mr. Lin is busy with military affairs, so he is late to welcome you, please forgive me. !"

Xiao Dezhang met many officials along the way, and he always said "I hope my father-in-law forgives my sins" after meeting, but when I came to Lin Yuan, this sentence became "I hope my father-in-law will forgive me". Full of displeasure with Lin Yuan!

But at this time, Xiao Dezhang was just a little eunuch, and he didn't have any position. He came out to announce the decree to Lin Yuan only because he was appreciated by the Empress Dowager Cixi. He was incomparable with Li Lianying, the chief eunuch. Li Lianying had to be polite when she saw Lin Yuan. How dare he provoke Lin Yuan!

So Xiaode squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Master Lin, please accept the order quickly."

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, give it to me."

This sentence stunned Xiao Dezhang. He has seen many officials in the court. When they heard that there was an imperial edict, they all hurriedly knelt on the ground and raised their hands above their heads. Let me give it to him!What does he think the decree is?Butt wipes?

Xiao De frowned, and was about to get angry, but he had a thought and came up with a trick to show Lin Yuan some seriousness, so he said to one of his followers: "Please ask for an imperial edict."

A follower ran out in a hurry, and after a while, he came back with a brocade box in his hands. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately raised his hands, raised the brocade box high above his head, looked down at the ground, and walked cautiously in front of Xiao Dezhang , Kneeling down respectfully, Xiao Dezhang pointed lightly, the attendant knelt on the ground, took two steps on his knees, and held the brocade box in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan saw that the box was glowing with purple light, so he knew that the wood of this box was very precious. Lin Yuan opened the box gently, and saw that the inside was covered with bright yellow silk, and a scroll was placed in the middle of the box. , Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I don't know if the Qing court has anything else to tell me."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand to take out the scroll, guessing the contents inside the scroll in his mind, at this moment, Xiao De Zhang slapped the table hard, and said angrily: "Lin Yuan, you are guilty!"

Lin Yuan was taken aback by Xiao Dezhang's actions, and before he could speak, Xiao Dezhang said to the warrior guards beside him, "Hurry up and take Lin Yuan down!"

The samurai at the side drew out their knives and surrounded Lin Yuan in the core. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What's wrong with this group of people? You don't need to use your brains to do things. There are tens of thousands of my subordinates in the city. Just a few of you can Want to catch me!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know what crime Lin has committed, so please ask Eunuch Zhang to clarify."

Xiao Dezhang sneered and said, "Isn't it a crime of disrespect for you to sit here to accept the imperial edict?"

"Great disrespect" was a felony in ancient times, and it was listed as one of the ten evils in the "Old Tang Book". De Zhang said angrily: "Xiao De Zhang, you are guilty! Come and take Xiao De Zhang down!"

Lin Yuan's voice is naturally much louder than Xiao De Zhang's. As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present felt their ears "buzzing". Suddenly came in from the outside, and suddenly the room was filled with the sound of bullets being loaded.

The warriors surrounding Lin Yuan also knew that guns were much more powerful than knives, and when they saw Lin Yuan's crowd, they all showed fear on their faces.

After all, Xiao Dezhang was young and didn't think things through. Just now he only wanted to give Lin Yuan a bad impression, but he didn't think about Lin Yuan's strength at all.
