    After drinking away Liu Shengyun, who had an angry look on his face, Liu Mingchuan stepped forward with a smile and said nothing. He grabbed Liu Zhenhua, who was bowing and saluting, with one hand and looked up and down as if he was meeting for the first time. Liu Zhenhua felt uncomfortable all over.  He said sarcastically: "Uncle, my nephew has only been separated from you for less than half a year. When I meet you today, this is" "What a good boy, you are really promising! I, Liu Shengsan, have known countless people with my old eyes.  I've always thought highly of you, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated you. "Haha, sir, why should I blame myself? This good brother Zhenhua is an outlier."  It is a blessing for us to be able to get to know the talented Chinese people." Liu Buchan said with a smile.  "I don't dare, Mr. Commander-in-Chief, you praise me too much. If you praise the boy too highly, aren't you afraid of being hurt if he falls?" "Zixiang, Zhenhua's nephew is indeed extraordinary, but this boy is too cunning and always deceives the old man. I'm afraid  Who wants to take away his family's wealth? If you look at the two mighty steel giants, and then look at the two iron-clad ships that the old man bought back from Germany after all his efforts, you can understand the depressed mood of the old man and Quanzi at this moment.  ¡± In recent days, Liu Mingchuan felt extremely unhappy every time he thought about the hateful guy Liu Zhenhua who had advanced shipbuilding technology in his hands but did not tell him early, and did not stop Baodao from spending huge sums of money to order outdated ironclad ships.  "Why do you say this, Mr. Guan Zhenhua? I have a low-key temperament. I have never told you the truth. I'm afraid there are other reasons. In any case, Mr. Boss purchased the gunboats and changed the situation of Baodao Navy without ships.  Embarrassing. It has added strength to the Qing Navy. Such achievements will last forever!" Liu Buchan acted as a peacemaker at this moment, speaking politely and trying his best to comfort Mr. Liu Mingchuan.  While speaking, he was still secretly winking at Liu Zhenhua, asking him to quickly crawl up the pole and say nice things to dispel the old man's resentment.  "Uncle, don't be angry. I can't blame my nephew for this. When my nephew came to Treasure Island, you had already made an agreement to purchase the ship. Moreover, at that time, my nephew was very soft-spoken. Even if I tried to dissuade you, I'm afraid it would be difficult.  It will produce results. Besides, this armored ship is not worth buying for nothing. You, sir, just let this trivial matter go." Liu Mingchuan was speechless.  Rather than saying that Mr. Liu felt sorry that the hundreds of thousands of pounds he spent on the ship was not worth it, it would be better to say that he wanted to rely on his old man to show his close relationship with Liu Zhenhua to the Beiyang Navy leaders present.  If we really talk about it, Liu Zhenhua was extremely benevolent to Baodao and Liu Mingchuan.  He did not take any money from setting up factories and mining, but spent a lot of money to support Baodao's railway construction and coastal defense.  Which one is not a big deal?  "Haha, brother Zhenhua and the president have come all the way. The boss has prepared a banquet for you all. Why are you still standing on the pier? Come on, let's go sit around, raise glasses and talk." Liu Buchan is also a worldly person.  Human spirit, seeing that the situation was a little cold at this moment, immediately changed the subject.  "Ha, we are indeed feeling hungry in our bellies, let's go!" "That's right, that's right. I have heard about the famous delicacies of Baodao for a long time, and I don't know what kind of delicacies Mr. Liu has prepared for us. Hurry over and take a look."  "  All the princes present were not fools and were still hanging out in the Manchu official circles. After hearing Liu Buchan's words, they immediately agreed. After the meal, Jiang Shuisheng and Yunfeng returned to the ship and led their own soldiers to make arrangements.  Stay in the room. Liu Mingchuan called Liu Zhenhua and Liu Buchan to the side hall of Baodao Navy. The three of them were not in a hurry to talk. Liu Zhenhua knew that Liu Mingchuan and Liu Buchan had something to say.  He said that although he did not know what the content was, he thought it had something to do with the Beiyang Navy's unauthorized visit to Baodao. Sure enough, Liu Mingchuan put down his tea bowl, coughed slightly and said, "Xian Zhenhua, Zixiang took care of you the day before yesterday."  Tell the old man what people are discussing in private.  But it is impossible for a few gunboats and thousands of naval forces to disappear so silently.  Moreover, there was no confidentiality when the fleet entered Keelung Port.  Thinking about it, the imperial court has already received the news, and the Navy Yamen is waiting for Zixiang's telegram to explain.  " "Haha, what can I do if I know it?  Could it be that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have another fleet looking for trouble?  Uncle and the Commander-in-Chief, please don't be impatient and wait patiently for a few days. The aftermath of the Battle of the Yellow Sea is still undecided.  There are still many matters to be negotiated between the Japanese and the Manchus.  There is no time to take care of the treasure island and navy.  " "That's what I said, but be prepared for a rainy day. You will bring all the remaining ships and officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy to the treasure island. You must have your own plan.  There are no outsiders here. Zixiang has been discussing with me on a daily basis and quite agrees with your thoughts on how to act. Therefore, my dear nephew, can you openly inform me of your intentions?  " "Exactly, that day was too short, and Xiandi and Zixiang did not talk in depth.  The wise brother only told Zixiang that he would lead the team to the treasure island and help repair and renovate the fleet's ships.The team's combat effectiveness increased rapidly.  As for the rest, no details were given.  Now it seems that Brother Xian has a deeper meaning, I hope he can make it clear!  " Liu Buchan also intervened. On that day, the Yaju fleet defeated the Japanese combined fleet with thunderous momentum and rescued the disadvantaged Beiyang Navy. Admiral Ding Ruchang was seriously injured and died for his country, sending Liu Buchan to the post of supreme commander. At that time, I felt shameless.  In addition to the resentment of the Japanese pirates, they were even more amazed by the strength of the ships and artillery of the Yaju fleet. When he was in a state of uneasiness, Liu Zhenhua was slightly beguiled by him and he agreed to lead the fleet to the treasure island.  The gunboats were being repaired and upgraded, but after arriving at Baodao, there were no shipyards or docks that had renovated warships. After seeing the gunboats of Baodao Navy and interviewing Governor Liu Mingchuan, Liu Buchan felt uneasy.  Although the battle in the Yellow Sea was won, there were also casualties and shipwrecks. The responsibility of the soldier for leaving the defensive position without authorization was big or small. If Liu Zhenhua was deceived by Liu Zhenhua when he came to Baodao, how should he deal with the blame from his superiors?  In addition to being uneasy, Liu Buchan felt a sense of luck when he saw the actual existence of the escorting Tengjiao. He was extremely looking forward to what Liu Zhenhua had said come true, and the ships of the Beiyang Fleet could be truly transformed and their combat power greatly improved.  After several days of traveling, I had several long conversations with Governor Liu Mingchuan, and learned a lot about Liu Zhenhua and the Yajuan mercenaries. However, Liu Buchan dared to think about it but did not dare to speak out.  Liu Mingchuan is extremely calm at the moment. He knows more about what Liu Zhenhua has done in recent years. Of course, most of this information comes from people who went to Australia and Irian Island in batches to participate in actual combat training.  Liu Mingchuan also knew very well about Liu Zhenhua's purpose and philosophy of establishing the Yajuan mercenary army. When he heard about it, he was excited and confused. Seriously, Liu Mingchuan was patriotic but not loyal to the Qing Dynasty.  He is extremely enlightened. This may be related to the fact that he rebelled since he was a child. He has been a strongman for decades and has been an official for many years.  He has long been disappointed. Liu Mingchuan, who has a great heart for China, greatly appreciates and approves of Liu Zhenhua's thoughts and words. Otherwise, he would not have tried his best to resist the backlash from all parties in the DPRK and agree to Liu Zhenhua's request despite his old age and disability.  Stick to the treasure island. Liu Zhenhua was holding tea at the moment, but he didn't say anything. Renovating the Beiyang Navy warships was just a trivial matter. Not to mention sending the eight gunboats to Tengfei Port for overhaul and upgrade if necessary.  It is not difficult for a woman to control a spaceship and visit the treasure island. He is currently thinking about how to persuade Liu Buchan to abandon the Manchu court and change his allegiance. ¡ËUpdate quickly¡Ë¡ËPure text¡Ë
