"This Madam Tiger is even more legendary. You don't know her story in the UK... This lady is the only daughter of old shopkeeper Fan Ru. She met the head of state in trouble deep in the Taihang Mountains. At that time, the head of state was still in a state of desolation. no!"
"The caravan took the head of state along with them, but they encountered bandits... The head of state even saved the life of the tiger lady during the melee! From then on, the two of them developed a friendship!"
"I heard that later the general manager of Xiling tried to steal Mrs. Hu as his concubine, which made the head of state angry. I don't know what kind of methods he used, and finally made the general manager angry to death!"
"Not only that, when the court granted the marriage, the head of state actually asked Mrs. Tiger and Mrs. Fuhui to be equals and become equal wives!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... How can there be such a Western scene in the two hundred years since the founding of the country? I didn't expect that the imperial court actually agreed in the end. It's really incredible!"
"Mrs. Tiger is incredible! She has been to Europe with the head of state and experienced several bloody battles, but she never lost the majesty of the head of state. This lady tiger has a lot of prestige in the military, and the veterans all admire her!"
"But for some reason, Mrs. Tiger has been stationed in Fuso forever! After the head of state defeated Osaka Castle and the Fuso shogunate surrendered, Mrs. Tiger heard that she liked the scenery in Fuso and has been staying here ever since!"
"When King Long of the Far East was fighting in Vladivostok, Madam Tiger helped raise military supplies and transport troops in Fusang. She also made great achievements!"
"During the time when the head of state was in Europa, Madam Tiger spent more time in Fuso and less time in Naha... But the Qing Dynasty never came back once, and I don't know why!"
"But this year is different... Sheng Jiujie suddenly appeared. I guess he is here to help Mrs. Tiger return to China!"
"Your Majesty is getting married. As a master, the head of state has to come to have a wedding drink! He hasn't been back for several years. How can the two ladies not accompany him?"
"Brother Xin... you have to know that this head of state's family is too big. Although he is not the emperor, he is as powerful as the emperor. He has no heirs now, but what about the future?"
"I think these two ladies already have other thoughts. The battle for the right of birth between the heirs will definitely be serious in the future!"
"As the wife of the head of state, she has a rich family and has no worries about food and drink. What else do you want? Why do you think you still maintain such a large business group and continue to make money?"
"Haha... Don't you want to save some family property for your future son? Even if there is a war, you will still have to spend money!"
"This Sheng Jiujie must also be here to mix up the muddy waters of these industrial zones... My eyes are unmistakable. He can bring out the Jin Xiaopan from Fusang two to three hundred years ago. What does that mean..."
Liu Peiqi pretended to be mysterious and whispered, "Mrs. Minghu is not staying in Fusang for nothing... She is not really traveling around the mountains and rivers... She must have built up a power of her own in Fusang!"
"These people are helping Madam Tiger conquer the world... If you listen to me and stay in Asia for a few more years, maybe there will be big news that will shock the world in the future!"
"Haha, everyone has their own thoughts... I won't go into details. It's late at night and it's time to go back and rest... I will send a carriage to pick you up at your inn tomorrow morning! Let's go north together..."
Liu Peiqi left too many news clues for Simpson to dig into. Each one is so precious, and each one is worthy of Simpson's several years of pondering and research!
He even forgot to ask the female ninja what was going on. After saying goodbye to everyone on the boat, he quickly returned to the inn under the protection of the escort from the escort agency!
It was already midnight, but he still refused to rest and was still writing furiously. Everything he encountered today, the key points that came to mind, and the questions in his heart were recorded one by one. He was busy until three o'clock before he took a short rest!
While Simpson and Liu Peiqi were busy taking boats on the Grand Canal, three small steam gunboats with a displacement of more than 500 tons were on the Shanghai Beach and entered the Yangtze River waterway along the Huangpu River. All merchant ships and cargo ships along the way gave way!
Even the British warships that usually showed off their power had to urgently give way to these three gunboats flying the Chinese flag!
These three gunboats are the newly launched warships of the Chinese Ryukyu Shipyard that year. Currently, the Chinese shipbuilding industry can already produce steel hulls of less than a thousand tons!
Including the keel, deck, shipside and transmission device inside... Only steam engines and rifled artillery still rely on German imports!
I dare not say that these three gunboats are 100% self-produced by the Chinese, but the autonomy rate has reached 70%. This is not only a miracle in Asia, but also the most advanced technology in the world except Europe and the United States. Got it!
Such a small-tonnage gunboat is certainly a mosquito ship on the sea, but in the Yangtze River, it is like an overlord, with fast speed, strong armor, and powerful firepower... and it can also carry a large number of land forces on board!
The main warships that the Chinese will use to control the internal river waters of the Qing Dynasty in the future will be this 'Yangtze River' series!
But today, many fleets on the river respect the gunboats not only for the three Chinese flags, but also for the fact that on board these three gunboats is the most powerful political man in East Asia, the head of state Xiao Letian!
Xiao Letian had just returned from Borneo. When the No. 0 internal combustion engine ran continuously for 48 hours without malfunction, the head of state couldn't stay any longer. After explaining some things, he immediately took a boat to go north!
The fortress plan finally reached the stage of handing over the land. The plan that he had worked hard for many years finally came to fruition. He couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart... Of course, he was also homesick, and Fuhui and Huniu, including his My son, everyone cares about him!
After taking the boat all the way to Naha, I saw that familiar figure on the pier. Huniu couldn't stop her tears from rolling down her face, and she ran forward before the trestle was even connected!
"Be careful... don't fall into the sea! Be careful..." Xiao Letian shouted anxiously!
Regardless of his identity, Xiao Letian threw down a bundle of rope ladders beside him before the ship docked. He turned over and climbed down the rope ladder!
"Protect the head of state..." With an exclamation, the two figures climbed over the railing like petrels, and gently hooked the rope ladder with one hand, using the weight of their own bodies to stabilize the swaying ladder!
Two Qinggong masters climbed down the rope ladder, followed the rhythm of the head of state, and escorted Xiao Letian to the trestle steadily!
When the height of the trestle was only one meter, the rope ladder and the trestle were still more than three meters wide!
The two guards exchanged glances and exerted force at the same time. They pushed off the hull with both feet, and the rope ladder suddenly swayed!
"Protect the head of state!" The two of them abandoned the rope ladder at the same time, holding Xiao Letian's arms one on the left and the other on the right, and landed lightly on the trestle. That's a sure thing!
At this time, Huniu also rushed over. Without slowing down, she rushed into Xiao Letian's arms like a bird. This force was so strong that she directly hit Xiao Letian and took three steps back!
"Hey, hey... I'm going to fall into the sea! Ouch... Why are you biting me, Hu Niu..."
