Chapter 70: Going to the South

Zeng Guoquan seemed to have noticed Liu Hai's dissatisfaction, so he calmly said to Liu Hai: "Now the imperial court still has some strong control over local areas, and the people have not yet opened their eyes. Once the railway is built, it will cause a lot of trouble."

.”

When Zeng Guoquan said this, he stared at Liu Hai again and said: "You are already in the spotlight now. If you continue to work like this, the court may not be able to tolerate you. In my opinion, you should stay dormant for a few years and wait until the world is over."

If something changes, make other plans."

After listening to Zeng Guoquan's words, Liu Hai turned around in his mind a few times. After thinking about it, Zeng Guoquan really said this. In the next few years, there will be a lot of troubles in the Qing court. The first is the Korean issue, and then the Sino-Japanese War.

After this, the Qing Dynasty's control over local areas will become weaker and weaker. After this, it will be the time for the Qing Dynasty to rise to the top of the world.

Liu Hai is not a person who cannot listen to what others say. Since his father-in-law, a man with profound experience, is giving him guidance, he should listen to what the old man has to say.

So Liu Hai hurriedly told Zeng Guoquan that he would stop making trouble after returning and would never bother him again.

Zeng Guoquan was satisfied when he saw that Liu Hai could listen to what he said. He thought that Leng Touqing would still confront him.

Liu Hai stayed at the Governor's Mansion of Liangjiang for another day and wanted to go back to Shanghai dejectedly, but Zeng Guoquan looked at his son-in-law and thought that if he just let him go like this, he didn't know if anything would happen if he went back.

So Zhen Guoquan came up with a plan and recruited Liu Hai to his study before he left.

"Are you going back?"

"Yuying is pregnant, and there's nothing going on here. We can't stay too long."

Zeng Guoquan was very satisfied after hearing that he cared about Zeng Yuying, "I thought there was something for you to do."

"I wonder what my father-in-law has ordered?"

"Didn't you travel around Nanyang a few years ago? The Chinese there have a very good attitude towards the Nanyang Navy. I have also received some donations in the past few years. It can be seen that the Chinese in Nanyang also love the Qing Dynasty.

But their life is not good there, so I want you to lead the fleet to Nanyang again to comfort them."

After hearing this, Liu Hai naturally had no objections. After all, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

"Then when will I set off?" When Liu Hai said this, he thought of Zeng Yuying who was pregnant. He thought that if possible, it would be best to wait until Zeng Yuying gave birth to a child before leaving.

But Zeng Guoquan was afraid that this kid would cause trouble again during this period, and wanted to send him away, so he directly ordered: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and you just happen to take the Nanyang Fleet southward. During the New Year, give the Chinese people in Nanyang

The support of the common people to let them have a good New Year can be regarded as a little condolence from our Qing Dynasty to them."

When Liu Hai heard this, he was unwilling. If such a schedule was planned, not only would he not be able to celebrate the New Year at home, but he would also not be able to be around when Zeng Yuying gave birth to her child.

"Old father-in-law, if this is the case, I won't be around when Yuying gives birth to the child. There will be no one to take care of her. If something happens, it will kill two people."

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about to say in a depressing way?"

Liu Hai also felt that what he just said was a bit unlucky, so he could only stand there with his mouth closed.

Zeng Guoquan thought for a while and then said: "I think it is better to let Yuying come to my place first. I will take care of her and she will be fine. You can go to Nanyang without worries."

After hearing that Zeng Guoquan was taking care of him, Liu Hai felt a little relieved and said: "In that case, I will respect my father-in-law's power and lead the Nanyang Navy southward to propagate and pacify the Qing people in Nanyang."

After Liu Hai agreed to Zeng Guoquan, he returned to Shanghai dejectedly. This time he went to the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, but he lost his money. Not only did the construction of the railway fail, he would also be sent to Nanyang. What do you think this is?

What's going on?

After Liu Hai returned to Shanghai, he told Zeng Yuying the whole story.

After hearing this, Zeng Yuying comforted Liu Hai, "Master, I think this is what my father is giving you. In the past, those who went to Nanyang to express condolences were from the Beiyang Navy. However, our Nanyang Navy bears the name of Nanyang. In fact, it can only be used in mainland China.

Take a walk around the Qing Dynasty, my father, this is to allow you to truly obtain all the rights of the Nanyang Navy and not let the Beiyang dominate the front."

What else can I do with my bangs now? I can only think this way.

But before leaving, Liu Hai still had a few important things to do. First of all, the minerals to be sent to Hyundai were ready, and he had to go back to Hyundai first.

And after arriving in modern times, Wang Fang also had to make an explanation. It seemed that he could only return to the Qing Dynasty after getting married.

Furthermore, the Qing Dynasty's Neptune Trading Company has run out of goods. He can still purchase another batch, especially cloth. Since the sales are so good, he will purchase more this time, otherwise he won't be able to hold on for much longer.

It will be sold out in a long time.

So this time Liu Hai planned to send Zeng Yuying to Nanjing first, and then go to Hyundai for business.

This time, because Zeng Yuying was pregnant, there could be no bumps along the way, so Liu Hai directly transferred the Nanyang Navy's Jiangsu armored cruiser.

Then the couple took the Jiangsu armored cruiser and set off from Wusongkou, Shanghai, to Nanjing.

Along the way, they were so majestic that all the ships along the Yangtze River gave way to this behemoth. Many people gathered on both sides of the Yangtze River to see this behemoth.

It was also the first time for Zeng Yuying to ride on this kind of big ship. She was chattering excitedly along the way and kept running back and forth on the Jiangsu with her bangs.

Liu Hai saw that Zeng Yuying was pregnant, her belly was already big, and she was running around like a child. She was extremely anxious, but no matter how she tried to persuade her, she could not control this aunt.

Finally, she learned that the warship was parked in front of the pier in Nanjing, and Zeng Yuying calmed down. However, Liu Hai and the others could not reach the pier in Nanjing because the ship was too big, so they had to take a transportation boat to reach the shore on the edge of Nanjing.

After landing, servants from the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion were already waiting there. When they saw Zeng Yuying, they immediately swarmed up and helped the young lady to the car.

When we arrived at the Governor's Mansion of Liangjiang, even Zeng Guoquan, who was so old, was waiting there. It seemed that he was very worried about what would happen to this old woman.

Liu Hai handed Zeng Yuying over to his old father-in-law and stayed in Nanjing for another day before boarding the Jiangsu armored cruiser again, sailing down the river and returning to the Nanyang Naval Station at Wusongkou, Shanghai.

After Liu Hai arrived at Wusongkou, he immediately put all the oil and iron ore he had accumulated in the past few months into the space-time ring. After making arrangements for the Nanyang Navy, he traveled back to modern times.

After Liu Hai returned to modern times, he immediately contacted Zhang Tao and asked him to receive iron ore and oil.

Zhang Tao is currently at the Shanghai Shipyard. When he heard the news about Liu Hai's return, he immediately rushed to City T in a military plane.

At this time, Liu Hai was being annoyed by Wang Fang.

It turned out that Liu Hai left for a long time, leaving Wang Fang to handle the wedding affairs alone. Now the preparations were finally completed, but seeing that the wedding date had arrived, the groom did not come back.

Therefore, Wang Fang has not been able to eat well or sleep well these days. Now she finally sees that he is back safely. At first, she shed a few tears, and then she immediately turned her face away. What's going on? How can it be fast?

After getting married, there is no reason why the groom cannot be found.

Liu Hai knew that he was wrong, so he comforted him in every possible way, telling him that he was really busy abroad during this period, and the signal in Africa was not good, so he couldn't make calls.

At this time, Zhang Tao entered the villa and saw that the young couple was having a conflict and Liu Hai was very embarrassed. He hurried over to explain a few words to Liu Hai.

Although Wang Fang didn't know what Zhang Tao did specifically, he knew from Zhang Tao's appearance that he was from the government. Now that he was explaining to Liu Hai, he started to wonder, why does Zhang Tao still care about other people's family affairs?

With Zhang Tao's mediation, Wang Fang temporarily let go of Liu Hai and told him that before getting married, Liu Hai would not leave her sight again.

Liu Hai knew that he couldn't stay longer this time, but the tigress was angry now, so he could only agree to it and fool him for a while before talking.

After comforting Wang Fang, Liu Hai and Zhang Tao came to the study.

"Mr. Zhang, how is the maintenance of my battleship going?"

Zhang Tao looked at Liu Hai's confident tone and felt helpless. Why did he meet such a person? Didn't he know that he was working in vain?

But I still have to answer, "These battleships have been renovated for more than eight years and are still in good overall condition. However, when they returned to China, the United States removed all new equipment, and several ships have been sealed up now."

In ten years, if you want to sail on the sea again, I'm afraid it will take another one or two years to completely repair it."

Liu Hai sighed. He knew that the time for repairing the strategic ship would not be much different from that of Zhao Yi.

However, Liu Hai is not worried that the time is still far away from the Year of Sino-Japanese War of 1899-1999. The Year of Sino-Japanese War of 1899-1999 will not arrive yet after these battleships are fully commissioned.

When Liu Hai was sighing there, Zhang Tao said again: "As you know, the gun barrels of battleships have a useful life. Now the United States will definitely not equip us with gun barrels, so I have to find the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Ordered a batch of gun barrels from there."

"It's nothing. As long as the warships have combat capabilities, it's worth spending some money."

"I thought so too, but the Rakshasa Kingdom forced us to sell two heavy cruisers. I thought you couldn't do it with just a few battleships, so I decided to buy these cruisers as well. They

We have decided to give the cruiser to us for free, but it will have to be repaired at a Russian shipyard, and you will pay for the repairs."

Liu Hai was furious when he heard this. He knew the past of India's aircraft carrier very well. If Rakshasa really cheated him like it cheated India, he might as well build a few more cruisers.

"The Russians won't trick me, right? If it takes more than ten years to repair, and the price is several times higher, how can I afford it?"
