Alchemy Greater China

"Less than half of my Eight Banners disciples?"

The young Guangxu frowned, lowered his head and couldn't wait to flip through the memorial: "... Well, Weng Aiqing has worked hard. In your opinion, how much is this matter?"

The names and resumes in the memorial are densely packed. After reading it for a while, Guangxu felt dizzy, so he closed the memorial and asked his teacher directly.

half?Now the banner people are so dilapidated and corrupted that even these 20 people were found out through patchwork!Your Majesty, do you still think too little? ..

Weng Tonghe and the old man rarely vented their dissatisfaction with the Xinnen Emperor in their hearts, but the old man's face was calm and respectful, and he replied: "Good generals are more expensive than Jing, and this matter is confidential. Although the Eight Banners are excellent, they will implicate the harem." That one, but it’s not easy to choose too much! These 56 people are sent overseas. It’s lucky to succeed, but it doesn’t hurt my body if I lose it... The old minister has counted, and it’s a surefire way to do it this way! As for success, as the saying goes It is said that it is up to people to plan things and heaven to make things happen. Now Beiyang is controlled by Li Hongzhang alone, and the most important weapon of the country is in the hands of his courtiers. It will be chaotic after a long time... No matter what you say about this matter, it is an opportunity for His Majesty to regain military power! try!"

In the 17th year of Guangxu, that is, in mid-August this year, Cui Guoyin, Weng Tonghe's disciple, returned from the United States in a hurry and reported the top secret of preparing for the new "American-Yang" army to the master.

As a side note, although Weng Tonghe did not directly teach Cui Guoyin, his title of imperial teacher and leader of Qingliu still made Cui Guoyin respectfully call him a "master". ..

Forming a foreign gun team overseas? !

Rao is Weng Tonghe who is very good at nourishing qi, when he first heard about it, his old face suddenly changed color, his first reaction was either thinking that Cui Guoyin was daring to deceive himself, or that Cui Guoyin was bewitched and lost his mind and went crazy!

Daqing Guozuo two hundred and five.Although there were the battles of Dingmao and Bingzi in the early days, and the battle of Yaksa in Kangxi, but later on, no foreign wars were won at all. After all, there were signs of victory in the Sino-French war, but in the end they made peace... It can be said .The Qing Dynasty was a slug to the outside world, and now I suddenly heard that it was possible to establish a foreign gun team and train soldiers on the territory of foreigners. Isn't this a myth like "Feng Shen Yan Yi"?

No wonder you can believe it!

Weng Tonghe calmed down, pointed at Cui Guoyin and yelled at him on the spot: "Hui Ren, I recommended you to serve as an envoy in Western countries in order to keep some overseas profits for the emperor. It's good for you, you were tricked into fainting." You actually sneaked back and lied to me with such nonsense that even a three-year-old child would not believe! Okay, okay. I want to report to the emperor, and charge you with the crime of being unfavorable and deceiving the public!"

Cui Guoyin panicked, thinking that this is a great achievement for me, it’s fine if you don’t reward me, but you can’t punish me, so he knelt down on the ground, crying bitterly, and told the whole thing from beginning to end, one by one, one by one. Ten said it again.

After hearing this, Weng Tonghe finally calmed down.Blinking and blinking his small eyes, a bit of anticipation really appeared: "Oh? This proposal was made by the prisoner's son on his own initiative? Benevolent. He is a child with a small mouth and a stinky mouth. What he said is somewhat worthwhile." letter?"

"At least [-]% believable..." Cui Guoyin breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away the tears he had shed, and immediately explained Long Hao's current situation, which made Weng Tonghe more and more unbelievable the more he listened.

The son of the imperial convict went into exile abroad.In just two years, he actually earned a huge fortune that even foreigners covet. Not only that, he also got acquainted with the princess of Risbania, the overseas general of Risbania... and the upper class in the United States Can society speak for itself?

Weng Tonghe felt as if he was listening to a scripture from heaven.No matter how you listen to it, why do you feel that this Long Yujie is more like the son of destiny, a man of great luck?

With Cui Guoyin's repeated assurances, Weng Tonghe finally gave up the idea of ​​punishing him, but when it came to Shangcheng Tianyan, this mature and prudent emperor said that he had to think about it for a few days.

So, this matter dragged on for a full ten days.

At the beginning of September, Weng Tonghe finally reported the matter of "Meiyang" to Guangxu. Guangxu was dubious, but he chose to listen to his teacher's advice, recruit outstanding young men in the capital, and go overseas to take over Meiyang for his confidant.

After wasting for a month, the selection list finally came out, and there was this night's talk between master and apprentice.

Historians of later generations generally believe that this night is of great significance, and to some extent accelerated the liberation process of the Chinese nation...

"Okay, just listen to Weng Aiqing..."

Guangxu's eyelids were slightly sour, and he forced himself to ask: "This American team, do I just need to give a name, and the dragons and dragons on the American side will not ask for anything, and take all of my people. Accept it, and train a strong soldier for me?"

"That's what the yellow-mouthed child said."

Weng Tonghe arched his waist, his buttocks and Jindun seemed to be in close contact, squinted and smiled: "But the old minister thinks that it is a matter of the royal family's decency. I have a great Qing Dynasty, so I don't need to take advantage of the son of the imperial convict! The old minister suggests that Your Majesty reward the dragon." One Haoyu seal, three sword handles, two command flags, the name of the new army "Qing Foreign Gun Brigade in the United States", and the use of secrets... Finally, the Long family will be pardoned for all crimes, and Long Hao is welcome back to the court To serve the country, in this way, Long Hao must be grateful for the emperor's kindness, and dare not not serve His Majesty to be loyal!"

"Okay, Weng Aiqing has thought carefully and made every possible plan. She is worthy of being my pillar and the pillar of my country! Well, I can do it according to your wishes, such as jade seals, swords, etc., and the expenses will come from my internal funds. Don't let the queen mother know!" Guangxu shrank his neck unconsciously when he said this, and glanced out of the study, as if that terrible woman was standing in the darkness.

"The old minister leads the order!"

……

Long Hao still doesn't know that he has been bestowed with great grace by the emperor of Qing Dynasty, waiting for him to go back to be a slave... At this time, he is standing on the deck of the Royal Garden, looking at the blue water that is almost black Turn up the snow-like waves.

On the third day of the voyage, the bustle of the cruise ship had died down. The noble passengers stayed in the cabins and refused to come out after seeing the magnificence of the Atlantic Ocean. In their eyes, the sea was fresh for a while, and it was far less easy to pass away than a luxurious room. lonely.

This is exactly what Long Hao wanted, the fewer people there, the better he can 'raise' Jin Yuan!

The seawater in the Atlantic Ocean is obviously much more "tasty" than the Bering Strait and the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The efficiency of extracting metal elements here is more than [-]% higher!

Long Hao didn't know what the reason was, maybe it was because there were too many giant steel beasts in the Atlantic Ocean?Shaking his head, Long Hao couldn't figure it out and gave up.Anyway, as long as Jin Yuan's energy keeps rising, why is he dissatisfied?

The voyage was eight days, and Long Hao didn't want to waste time. He used US dollars to clear the way and bribed a waiter on the ship, starting from yesterday.Then he can go down to the bottom of the cruise ship and have intimate contact with the sea water of the Atlantic Ocean.

This is a semi-enclosed cabin, the wheels are spinning and there is constant noise. There is a drain in the groove at the bottom of the center. Long Hao can feel the coldness of the seawater when he reaches in.

I heard that this is a spare water storage tank. Once the cruise ship hits the rocks, it can absorb the seawater pouring in and keep the hull unsinkable.In normal times, there are few people.

Long Hao just liked the remoteness and quietness here. After all, when raising Jinyuan, he had a vision of golden light in his palm, and it was always bad to be seen by others.

In the dead of night, around 1 o'clock in the morning, Long Hao pulled out his somewhat tired palm.I'm going to go out to exercise my muscles, but who knows.A black shadow flashed on the hatch, and the speed was so fast that even Long Hao almost missed the scene!

You know, boy Long Hao has achieved great success, his eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, if even he can only catch an afterimage.One can imagine how fast the black shadow is!In short, it is a speed beyond the limit of human beings.

"Honey, what's that?"

Long Hao became interested, and just now he vaguely discerned that the black shadow was in human form, but a normal human being.Can you run that fast?

After coming to the 19th century, Long Hao has never seen other supernatural things except martial arts, which made him quite lamented that he has no passion. Could it be that vampires and vixen are all fabricated?

This time, his blood boiled, and he hurriedly chased it out, ready to find out what kind of weird thing that black shadow was.

"This is the west, preferably monsters like vampires and moon night werewolves, so I can catch them back and play with them for Sasha!"

Long Hao muttered excitedly in his heart, but he also forgot that, in terms of the golden light from his palm, his 'alchemist' also belonged to the category of monsters.

The black shadow moved in the complicated corridors at the bottom of the ship. In order to avoid the pipes, wheel valves and other equipment, the speed slowed down. Long Hao hung far away, his eyes glowed, and he could distinguish the black shadow in front of him. The outline was actually a beautiful woman film!

Long Hao was slightly surprised: Did I guess wrong?Not a vampire, but a foreign woman with martial arts?

The black shadow walked around for a while, and finally stopped in front of a door. Without any hesitation, he opened the door quickly and got in.

Long Hao followed, but was surprised to find that the escape boat was placed behind the door, and at this moment, a boat space was empty, a cable stretched out more than ten meters away, a red escape boat, Ripple outside the cruise ship!

Leaning against the side of the cruise ship, the water waves are strong, and the lifeboat is very dangerous.I saw the black shadow lying on the side of the red lifeboat, ups and downs with the waves, as if the next wave could completely swallow her and the boat, it looked very thrilling.

Long Hao murmured in his heart: Is that woman sick?Running in the middle of the night looking for excitement? ...Or, by taking advantage of the turbulent waves to practice Yang Guo's mysterious martial arts?

Long Hao hadn't finished thinking about it, when the lifeboat in the distance suddenly turned its head, and the black shadow grabbed the oars and rowed back.

Long Hao was taken aback, and quickly hid aside, he didn't want to show his figure.

The black shadow landed on the shore, tied the lifeboat as it was, and then walked out the door. With the flash of light, Long Hao, who was hiding in the dark, saw the black shadow clearly. .

That black shadow turned out to be a good-looking, blond-haired and blue-eyed Western girl!

He looked only fourteen or five years old, with big eyes and a small nose, and a pretty face. Under the blond hair was an extremely fair and delicate face, and the green pupils shone with a strange and charming light.In time, this white loli must be an all-powerful beauty, even if compared to Melissa, she won't be too inferior!

What really surprised Long Hao was that there was a circle of bright red blood stains on both sides of this beautiful little loli's small cherry mouth. Hair looks eerie and terrifying!

Hey, is it possible that I guessed it right, is it really a vampire?Long Hao was inexplicably excited, and wanted to rush out and restrain this blood-sucking little loli, and catch it back for interrogation.

Just when Long Hao's eyes were shining and he was about to start to act, the little loli seemed to have discovered some danger, and his figure moved quickly, running towards the opposite direction where Long Hao was hiding.

Found out?

Long Hao was stunned for a moment. At this time, the sound of leather boots touching the iron plate came from not far away.It seems that someone on board has been found.

Long Hao hurriedly hid it, and after a while, two white men walked over quickly, a middle-aged man and an old man, both wearing the same style of aristocratic costumes, but Long Hao had little knowledge.He didn't recognize the obscure badge patterns on the brightly colored clothes, and couldn't tell which rich and noble family belonged to which country.

Those two people first walked into the small door where the lifeboat was placed, and came out after a while. The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "Gemma has been here, damn it, I smell blood!"

Oh, so that loli is called 'Gemma'!

The old white man gave a 'hmm' moment, rubbed his shiny brown leather boots on the floor for a while, and then said in a slightly shrill voice: "She just left not long ago. Sigta, come with me! This way..."

After the words were finished, the old man led the middle-aged Sigma away in a hurry, which was the direction where Loli Gemma fled just now.

This loli is not alone, it is a bit difficult to secretly catch her back... Long Hao thought about it, and felt that these two white people plus Gemma were obviously a little weird.It's a pity that I am on a cruise ship with Melissa and Breeze and Rain.It was not good to cause extra problems, so I regretted it a little, and went back quietly while I was free.

But Gemma's pale and pretty face with blood on the corner of her mouth was firmly imprinted in Long Hao's mind.Long Hao had a hunch that they might meet again when they arrived in England.

The next few days.Long Hao still raised Jin Yuan in the water storage tank, but he never met the bloody Loli Gemma again.

On October 1891, 10, the cruise ship Royal Garden sailed into the harbor of Portsmouth in southern England with a clear whistle.

Portsmouth.The station of the Royal Navy.

The Naval Dockyard was established here in 1496, and it officially became the Royal Navy base in 1540.

Having experienced the Battle of the Nile, the Battle of Copenhagen and the epic Battle of Trafalgar, the Royal Navy is proud of the world. The glory of the everlasting empire is maintained by the Royal Navy, and Portsmouth Naval Port has become the immovable cornerstone of the British Empire standing on the clouds.

After the cruise ship Royal Garden docked, Long Hao led Melissa and Breeze and Drizzle out. Standing on the tall ship, he was shocked by the densely packed docks and towering chimneys of Portsmouth at first glance. , What is the world port of this era?Look at the ships that can't be seen at a glance, the flags of Spain, France, Holland, Denmark and other countries are fluttering in the wind, of course, the most dazzling is the extremely dazzling Mizi flag, which are connected in a line in the field of vision , tell you what is the ocean overlord?What is the Dreadnought Fleet!

Melissa took Long Hao's arm and sighed in a low voice: "This is my second visit to Portsmouth, but the number of ships docked here has more than doubled compared to the last time!"

Although Long Hao knew that the United Kingdom was quietly declining, the countless warships in the tall docks in the distance were still telling him: No matter what, only the British navy is undefeated, and the British Empire still has the actual control over the world. !

Among other things, the warship orders in Portsmouth alone are enough to support several combined fleets!

"It's really shocking. Even the port of New York is incomparable to this place!"

Long Hao nodded, "Not to mention Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco. Compared with Portsmouth, the ports in those places are like ditches for children to play with paper boats!"

Although what Long Hao said is a bit exaggerated, the actual situation is not far from it.

As a new empire, the United States, although the hardware facilities of the port are not inferior to those of the British seaport, but the people working in it, young people, have ideals, will be restless, and full of energy, but they have not been successful after all, and they have bright ideas for the future. But there is also confusion about the unknown.

British workers are different. They are composed, calm, and have a plan. They are like middle-aged people who have succeeded in their careers. They exude a strong confidence in every gesture. The British navy, boatmen, and workers all have their heads held high, their eyes high above their heads, and their eyebrows are raised. They are full of pride, disdain, and a sense of superiority towards other countries.

Long Hao sighed in his heart: the sun will never fall to the empire, its reputation is well-deserved, it is indeed the strongest country in this era!This is something that can't be realized from history books, and this trip is worthwhile.

However, Long Hao glanced at the densely packed and hopelessly numerous warships at the port, and sneered calmly in his heart: No matter how strong your foundation is, you will bow your head and bow down in front of the young master who came back from time travel within ten years. Not to mention, once the aircraft carrier on the original trajectory of history comes out, the effect of these steel behemoths will approach zero, and it is just a waste of money!

Emotions belong to emotion, emotion is over, there is still business to do.Following the flow of passengers, Long Hao, dressed in a conspicuous ZSS dress, walked out of the British Customs in a chic and easy manner, leading Melissa who was like a goddess, but the breeze and drizzle were pitiful, the two little guys blushed and struggled Carrying the luggage of the young master and young nainai, frowning and faltering, followed closely behind.

The dignitaries and ladies with masks next to them were pointing and whispering, if the breeze and drizzle were applicable to the British Child Labor Act, these enthusiastic spectators would definitely stop Long Hao and Melissa, who were stealing the limelight, Ask them for an explanation, why do they abuse minors?

As soon as he got out of the pier, Long Hao was about to call a car to go to the train station. Unexpectedly, a group of people in military uniforms walked towards him.

"Who are you?" Long Hao asked cautiously.
