"Your Majesty!" Deng Shichang and others felt sad. "Your Majesty, I was fine when I left the Qing Dynasty. Why did I come back... and become like this?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Zai Chun waved his hand, "It's useless to say all this! I know my body's bones very well. God knows if I can survive this disaster!"
"You... you can't stay here anymore... I will arrange a place for you to go!"
"Hurry up...go to Naha, go to the Chinese, and find my mentor. Only he can protect you!"
"Your Majesty!" Everyone was panicked. Yan Fu and others thought that Emperor Tongzhi was testing them, so they quickly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you! I have no second thoughts about the Qing Dynasty!"
"We just lost our composure in front of the Queen Mother because we didn't understand the rules. We will go back to apologize to the Queen Mother and write an apology note... Your Majesty, you can't send us away!"
Zai Chun took a few breaths and let Er Mao take two mouthfuls of ginseng soup to gather some strength. "You guys... you have misunderstood me... I am not testing you, nor am I blaming you..."
"Let me tell you the truth! Those of you who have studied in Europe have tempers that can no longer be integrated into the court. What will be the final outcome for you if you stay here? It will be just being beaten to death, or being thrown into prison, or in the end Even the lighter ones are coaxed to go home and farm!"
"You are no match for them... Just from your response just now, I know that you are completely unsuited to the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Haha... What the hell is this place? Even I was defeated and expelled here, let alone you!"
"That dream of mine!" Zai Chun looked at the roof with empty eyes, "I really want to create a powerful Great Qingshui Division... Let you drive iron-clad battleships and gallop across the ocean..."
"But it's all gone... It's all gone. I don't blame you... It was our Eight Banners who failed to live up to expectations and started a civil war on our own, which ruined everything!"
"Haha... The British have already placed their bets on Guiziliu. Those warships I spent my money to order must have been confiscated by the British at this moment!"
"Even if the British fulfill the contract in the future, they will only give the battleship to my sixth uncle... and not to me!"
"With your temper, you can fight in front of me here. When you get there, will you still have a way to survive? Are you the only one who still wants to live with those people?"
"I'm not testing you, I'm protecting you... You are all talents, you can't be buried in this cesspit!"
"Let's go! Go quickly...while I can still protect you...leave here and find a way to survive!"
"Er Mao... give them my letter and ask them to go to the Chinese immediately to find the Four Heavenly Kings... just tell them that I will arrange for them to intern in the Chinese Navy!"
"Xiang Ying has objections to me, but he knows you are talented people! As a senior, I really love talents, and they will at least give you an internship opportunity!"
"Let's go...if we leave, the world will be brighter!"
"Cough cough cough...if it's too late...cough cough cough...if it's too late I'm afraid it'll be too late..."
"Your Majesty!" These naval talents who had returned from studying abroad had just arrived in Rehe and had just met Zai Chun, but the result was that they were leaving immediately!
Everyone couldn't hold it any longer, with tears in their eyes. Deng Shichang said loudly, "I won't leave! I can fight without a warship... Give me a gun, and I will protect your majesty as an army!"
"Nonsense!" Zai Chun growled, "I spent so much money and resisted so much pressure in the court to let you study abroad. Do you want to become an army officer?"
"Let's go! It's the safest place outside the court now. Leave immediately..."
Zai Chun was very tired, but these people still refused to leave. Er Mao couldn't stand it any longer and simply said, "Sir, can't you understand?"
"I am not only risking your lives, but also considering the future of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty is planning to play both hands. If... if His Majesty cannot survive this disaster, in the end the Qing Dynasty will be firmly established by the Japanese, and you will still be able to come back by then!"
"As long as Guiziliu is in control, he will definitely find a way to bribe the capable ministers of the previous dynasty! Do you think he doesn't know the benefits of the navy?"
"When His Majesty... really fails completely, Guiziliu will definitely reorganize the navy! When you come back, you will be reused, and there will definitely be warships for you to command!"
"When the time comes...you will still be a force, and you can still live to fulfill His Majesty's dream!"
"Let me be clearer! With the support of your group, the lineage of veterans left behind by His Majesty will have an extra protective force!"
"Singles don't fight against power! Isn't that what happens in the imperial court? Power struggles! Even if you are a power left behind by His Majesty... you may be able to protect the lives of a few more veterans of the previous court in the future!"
Zai Chun kept nodding, "Let's stop talking... You are all smart people... You should know my painstaking efforts..."
"The current situation is like this! Living is actually more difficult than death! What I give you is actually the most difficult task... It's even harder than death! Don't let me down... Go, go!"
"Leave tonight, I'll let Fu Qing arrange for you to leave..."
For this reason, what else can Deng Shichang and the others do? Kowtow, your forehead will bleed from the knock, and then you exit the Yunshan Resort Building!
When they left the palace gate with tears in their eyes, the men holding the war horses turned to look at the palace wall of the summer resort. Yan Fu and the others whispered, "Fate! This is fate! Your Majesty is really the seedling of the Holy King. Your Majesty is really I understand!”
"But this life...why is it so bad!"
Just when several people were lamenting Zai Chun's misfortune, the steward of Third Master Fu Qing came on horseback and said in a low voice, "Let's go... hurry up... why are you staying here? Come with me quickly..."
"Come from the sea! You have to go to the sea after all!" Zai Chun muttered several times while looking at the window. At this time, Gordon, Er Mao and he were the only three people left in the room.
Gordon sat in front of Zai Chun with a sad expression in his eyes. Facing this emperor, his feelings were very complicated!
Zai Chun had been brewing for a long time. Perhaps it was because he was conserving his little energy that he finally said, "Gordon...tell me the truth...whose person are you?"
"Don't say you are British... I need to know, which British faction are you subordinate to? Benjamin or Gladstone... or the Queen herself..."
Gordon didn't hesitate at all: "I...I will only be loyal to the great Queen and the great Emperor Tongzhi in this life!"
"I belong to His Majesty and the Queen!"
"Haha... The queen's people... So the current situation is approved by the queen? The queen has also abandoned me?"
"No, no, no... it won't happen..." Gordon's eyes turned red. "Your Majesty, don't think too much! The Queen has not given me any order that is not good for Your Majesty!"
