Xu Run noticed that the veins on Lin Yizhe's forehead were bulging out, and his eyes seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets, and he couldn't help but turn pale with shock. "My lord? My lord?" Xu Run called softly. Lin Yizhe turned a deaf ear to Xu Run's call. His eyes were fixed on the letter. Every word on the letter seemed to be like a sharp knife, piercing straight into his heart. "It is extremely difficult for a woman to know how to be loyal, filial, and righteous. Being able to die in state affairs is a supreme honor. This is why she is granted a title by the imperial court. I despise her for not shying away from shame and using her body to seduce the king. I only respect his loyalty and martyrdom for the country The defense of Yixia and the great ethics of the country cannot be abolished. I express my condolences to you, not to admit my mistake. I impeach you to marry someone who is not like this. It is the foundation of the sacred ethics. It is not for personal grudges, but with your knowledge, it should not be difficult to clearly detect" "You are a woman, and you started provocation in the name of establishing Westernization. It can be said that you have ulterior motives. Now you are still stubborn, diverting the railway to the Forbidden Garden, in order to Your Majesty is seduced by your ingenuity, and you want to establish a vassal town by evading the sea. You have done countless things You have secluded yourself in Shilin. How will you see the ancestral Lin Wen Zhonggong underground in the future? , The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Holy Wisdom and Insight, although I was confused by your clever words for a while, I will definitely see clearly in the future You can quickly express your self-accusation and state your sin of confusing the Lord and betraying the righteousness. Maybe you can atone for your previous mistakes. It has brought shame to your grandfather. If you don't repent and do many unjust things, you will be repaid sooner or later" After Lin Yizhe read this letter full of vicious words, his body could not help but tremble. "Kunyu!" Xu Run saw that Lin Yizhe's eyes seemed to be on fire. He had never seen Lin Yizhe so angry. Worried that he would lose his temper, he immediately stepped forward. He snatched the letter away. Lin Yizhe came back to his senses at this time, but his eyes still did not leave the letter. "Ding Baozhen! You bitch who set up an archway!" Lin Yizhe furiously took the letter back from Xu Run's hand and tore it up fiercely. After a while, the letter paper turned into countless tiny fragments. "Ding Baozhen, I will never forgive you!" Lin Yizhe's eyes were split and he roared so loudly that the roof tiles shook. Xu Run no longer tried to persuade Lin Yizhe. Instead, he leaned down and picked up the pieces of paper one by one. Lin Yizhe stared blankly at Xu Run's old and hunched figure, as if he suddenly understood something. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down. "Sir, what do you need these for?" Lin Yizhe asked in a hoarse voice. "If you want to take revenge in the future, this letter is the physical evidence. You must keep it." Xu Run did not look back. He answered while continuing to pick up the pieces of the letter, for fear of losing one piece. Lin Yizhe woke up, feeling warm in his heart, and leaned down. Help Xu Run pick up the pieces. Soon, all the pieces of letter paper were picked up. Xu Run put them all in envelopes and put them away carefully. At this time, Chen Wan heard Lin Yizhe's roar just now, and hurried into the room with several maids. Seeing that Lin Yizhe had regained his composure, Chen Wan felt a little calmer. She looked at Lin Yizhe and Xu Run, wondering why Lin Yizhe was so angry just now. "I'll take my leave," Xu Run said, bowing to Lin Yizhe and his wife. Lin Yizhe silently returned the greeting, and Xu Run turned around and exited the room. "Kunyu, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Chen Wan stepped forward and took Lin Yizhe's hand. Feeling that the originally warm hands had become cold for some reason, she couldn't help being surprised again and asked with concern. . "It's okay, I just pissed off a bitch who wanted to build a memorial arch. It doesn't matter." Lin Yizhe had completely recovered his calm at this time. He looked at Chen Wan and gave her a comforting smile. Lin Yizhe didn't know at this time that almost just now, when he was furious because of Ding Baozhen's letter, Ding Baozhen, who was far away in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, was also furious about the edict he had just received in the newspaper. "It's unreasonable! Three consecutive impeachments have such a result! It's simply too much!" Seeing the furious Ding Baozhen grabbing the newspaper and trying to tear it apart, the servants around him were all shocked. Ding Baozhen may have realized that there was an edict on it, To tear it apart was to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, so Shengsheng stopped and sat down angrily. Just a few days ago, he made three consecutive accusations, impeaching Lin Yizhe and supporting the Qing gossip officials headed by Yushi Li Deshui. He originally thought that this time he could kick Lin Yizhe out of the Navy Yamen, but what he never expected was that as a result of his rejection, Li Deshui and others were dismissed from their posts and would never be employed, and they were also "sent". Guard Ryukyu and be sent to serve in front of the army (washing the trousers of the soldiers)"! "As soon as the new king was established, the empress dowager humiliated the scholars in this way. There was no elegance and the holy religion was gone."In mourning, the country will be destroyed! The country will not be a country! "Thinking of the possible fate of Li Deshui and others, Ding Baozhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Seeing Ding Baozhen's concern for the country and the people, the servants around him were all moved. The servants were about to persuade, but a servant was anxious. He ran in from outside, holding a letter in his hand: "Master, a letter from Tianjin Li Boxian has arrived. "The servant reported to Ding Baozhen. "Bring it to me! "Hearing what the servant said, Ding Baozhen took a deep breath and said. The servant hurried forward and handed over the letter. Ding Baozhen took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and read it. This letter was given to him by Li Hongzhang. Reply to the inquiry about "How to prepare for coastal defense" "Fu Ding Zhihuang Gongbao: Inquiring about coastal defense, my loyalty and diligence are clearly revealed. Hongzhang was so foolish that he had no confidence in this matter and was only horrified. Zhang Dao was in Tianjin, and Yan was in full swing. After checking the regulations of the Machinery Bureau, he brought it back to Yantai, hoping to report it to Shang Zun's office for review. I will now summarize all the matters that need to be answered and list them below. The ocean in Eastern Province is scattered, and as you have come to show, it is impossible to guard against it. In the future, if a huge sum of money is collected, it is necessary to create a naval force according to the original proposal of the General Administration, with about ten iron armors and large and small military ships, stationed between Jumiao Island and Lushunkou to solidify the Beiyang gateway. But at present, we are unable to do so. As suggested by your Majesty, we should first consider the passes of the province and select locations in Yantai, Dengzhou, and Weihai to build the platform in sequence, with Yantai being the first and most important. The shape of its mouth is also scattered, and it seems that it is appropriate to build several buildings in a concise manner, forming horns. In case of emergency, you may be able to stay on guard. The new theory of sea defense says that when the North and the South were fighting, the armored warships rushed directly past dozens of forts and penetrated deeply. Even though the forts were strong and the cannons were numerous, they might not be able to defend against the enemy. The only thing I can do is gain some momentum from the ground. The practice of forts is not only different in the provinces of China and Turkey, but also in the Western countries. Most of them use sand to build a solid platform base, and the outside and top are thickly built with Sanhe soil, which can be expected to last for a long time. Wrapping the statue with a few inches of iron plate is similar to that of a newly built platform in Wusongjiang, and it costs more. Zhang Daomian said that he planned to hire foreign craftsmen to serve him. He heard that Li Yuting was building a fort in Zhejiang Province, so he hired foreign craftsmen to build it. The cost was tens of thousands, and it had not yet been built. It seemed that he should be cautious at the beginning. Or recruit skilled craftsmen from various places to build the platform, and it is better to refer to them for stability. The Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is close to the coast where foreign ships cannot berth. Zhang Dao asked the committee members to survey the intersection of Wei and Changchang, where there is the Bailang River. The situation is suitable and the work is saved. It is unknown whether the decision can be made immediately after the re-survey. Whether it is making pills or guns, it is really inconvenient to get all the materials from overseas. Coal and iron can be mined and used by ourselves first, and work will not be suspended in case of warning. Most of the other miscellaneous materials are still ordered from Shanghai and can be reserved in advance. Xu Ling Jianyin was supposed to come to Tianjin in the middle of the year, but he has not yet arrived. As soon as he arrives, he is ordered to go east to ask for instructions. Nothing can be done without money. According to the statistics of the construction of forts in three places, there are dozens of them. The cost of building the forts and the purchase of cannons are about a million yuan or so. Even if one or two are built, it seems to cost hundreds of thousands, but it can be done complete. The machine bureau can have a large amount of money or a small amount of money. However, to create a basic house and purchase a few machines, a total of 200,000 gold is needed. For long-term use, at least tens of thousands per year will be needed. All this must be planned in advance. If the width is calculated as the narrowness, it is more than this number. Respecting the two initiatives of colleagues, we plan to raise more than 300,000 yuan. It is difficult to continue after worrying. Regarding the various items mentioned, such as customs customs duties and temporary duties, all the correct amounts were reported to the department, and they must be refuted. It may be possible to transfer the costs of military training and other expenses directly from the province to customs duties, and use the surplus profits from gold and salt transportation for coastal defense. If there is not much money to be made, it may be possible to build forts first, and Xu will discuss the situation to avoid temporary exhaustion. I respectfully ask for Zhuo's decision. Although special funds have been earmarked for coastal defense in the southern and northern regions, the tax revenue is not enough for each provincial customs to pay out, so it is impossible to fully account for it. The previous letter has been briefly mentioned. Even if hundreds of thousands can be allocated each year, and hundreds of thousands are allocated to the north and south respectively, what good will it do? I respectfully guard the key to the capital, act alone with nothing, accomplish nothing, and often feel guilty. The General Administration also ordered the water training master. The Japanese compensation has not yet arrived. I wonder when and what month will the huge sum of money be collected to start the business? The deacon planned to set up forts and machine stations, all for the purpose of preparing for the defense of his own province. They had little bearing on the overall situation of Beiyang, so it was inconvenient to use this money, which caused obstruction. If it refers to the two items of gold and salt, gradually develop the plan without seeking quick results, and accumulate it for a long time until it reaches a small scale. You may first summarize the general idea and file the case (you can take out the title), or you may not need to focus on it and hope to win the approval. Take charge. In short, the situation is extremely difficult and material resources are extremely scarce, which are not enough to handle such a major event. Former Lin Kunyu Fujun had a proposal to borrow foreign debt, and Zuo Jigao, the commander-in-chief, handled it with Hu Dao. The interest rate was better and the terms and conditions were more detailed. If he could borrow it, it would be a big deal. . The country's affairs are extremely difficult, and we are in the same situation. All we have to do is abandon our prejudices, manage according to our ability, and make every inch and every inch possible. I have always been loved by you, and I dare to pay tribute to you sincerely. "After reading the letter, Ding Baozhen's hands couldn't help but tremble. He never expected that the letter he wrote to Li Hongzhang was just a false inquiry to express concern about the court's discussion on coastal defense, but he received After seeing the news that Li Hongzhang revealed in the letter that Lin Yizhe was planning to "borrow foreign debt" to handle coastal defense, Ding Baozhen was furious, his eyes darkened, his throat felt sweet, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. , fainted immediately &.nbsp; "Master! Master!" The servants were shocked and immediately came forward to rescue him. "If we borrow foreign debt, the country will never survive!" Ding Baozhen shouted, holding the letter that was already stained with blood. ps: The first update is here! Please collect! Please recommend! Please subscribe! Please click!
