A few days later, the Jiaolong was quietly docked on the dock. Although a large number of soldiers were guarding it, it was still watched by the officers and soldiers of the garrison's water and land division, including many foreigners.

These foreigners were first foreign personnel hired by the garrison and the navy, but later some foreign journalists took photos by them during Wang Chenhao's inattention and spread them.

The Jiaolong was soon launched into the newspaper, and domestic and foreign countries immediately paid close attention to the Jiaolong, a submarine with two large pliers. Among the Beiyang Navy officers and soldiers, some people could not stop and poked the Jiaolong out of the Yoshino and Langsuo. This immediately surprised the military strategists from all over the country.

The Japanese Empire set up a large number of spies in the Qing Empire. After the Yellow Sea War, they stepped up collecting information about the Beiyang Navy. After the exposure of the Jiaolong and Wang Chenhao, they were immediately targeted by Japanese spies.

The telegram was soon sent to the Japanese base camp. Yuki Ito was furious and vowed to kill Wang Chenhao and his Jiaolong.

At the same time, the Japanese Navy immediately began to study and discuss the combat methods of the Jiaolong, and finally decided to install an anti-explosion network on the outer edge of the oars and rudders to prevent the Jiaolong's underwater attack.

However, after the anti-explosion network is installed, the speed of each Japanese Navy ship is affected to a certain extent, and the rated speed will be reduced by about half a knot. However, compared with the speed of each Beiyang Navy ship or the underwater threat from the Jiaolong, this price is affordable.

The ships of the Japanese Joint Fleet ended their "naked runs" one after another and put on "underpants". Even if the Jiaolong comes to "do the crime", it will be quite laborious and arduous to "explode".

After dealing with the real reason for the failure of the Battle of the Yellow River, the Imperial Japanese Navy rekindled its fighting spirit.

On October 14, the repairs of all ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet were completed and all arrived at the Sasebo Naval Base on the 15th, waiting for ammunition and coal to be supplied.

On the same day, the Beiyang Navy ships completed repairs and drove out of the dock one after another, moored in the port to assemble, preparing to return to Weihaiwei's home port.

Before this, Wang Chenhao had passed Yang Shixiang's review and was taken to Tianjin to meet Li Hongzhang, while his Jiaolong was taken back to Weihai Guard Port by the Zhiyuan ship.

Before leaving, Wang Chenhao entrusted Deng Shichang to take care of the Jiaolong and asked him to protect the Jiaolong. It was not until Deng Shichang patted his chest and guaranteed that Wang Chenhao left with confidence.

Yang Shixiang took Wang Chenhao to Tianjin Shuiguan Wharf by fast ship, and then took him to the Zhili Governor's Office.

The Zhili Governor's Office was in Daming Prefecture, Baoding. In 1870, the Qing court assigned the trading affairs of Tianjin, Yingkou and Yantai to the management of Zhili Governor, and awarded the title of Minister of Trade in Beiyang to the Governor of Zhili.

Since then, most of the governors of Zhili were stationed in Tianjin and returned to Baoding during the winter foreign trade off-season. However, after Li Hongzhang established the modern Westernization and the Beiyang Navy, the governor of Zhili was stationed in Tianjin, making the Baoding yamen a decoration.

Beiyang seems to have become synonymous with a kind of force.

At least, this is what Wang Chenhao thinks.

Compared with Nanyang, the huge Beiyang Group has always become a noun representing the last stage of the late Qing Dynasty.

Here, there is the army equipped with the most modern weapons in the Qing Empire, the most mining machinery bureaus, and the most powerful fleet; there is the Beiyang Military Preparation School that trains army officers, and the Tianjin Naval Academy that trains naval officers. The forces cover the three provinces of Zhi, Lu and Henan, and the Liaodong Peninsula in Fengtian outside the pass, as well as the two fortress and naval bases in Weihaiwei, Lushun, etc.

The huge Beiyang naturally needs financial support, so the income of the three customs in the Bohai Bay is also dominated by the Beiyang.

This Beiyang also performed some diplomatic functions due to Li Hongzhang's diplomatic skills. It can be seen that Beiyang was another small court in the late Qing Dynasty.

Beiyang is full of talents, representing the most advanced group of the Qing Empire. At one time, this was the center and hope of the Qing Empire's self-reliance and Westernization Movement, and it was a small window for the Qing government to face the world and slowly carry out changes on its own.

However, the transformational reform of Beiyang was too slow and not thorough, and finally allowed the little Japanese next to him to surpass him.

Beiyang!

The huge creature that appeared in front of Wang Chenhao made him mutter deeply in his heart.

Wang Chenhao was not used to wearing ancient jackets and petal skirts, so before he came, he had already bought a black dress in Lushun to change it. This cost him more than half a month's salary, which was paid by Deng Shichang on his behalf.

At the gate of the governor's office, the Dubiao personal soldiers stood straight, pinched their waists with their left hand and held the butt on the stone steps with their right hand, guarding the post without looking sideways.

The surroundings were quiet and solemn, and the ants didn't dare to come and stroll. It really had the majesty of the No. 1 Governor's Office!

Since Wang Chenhao was brought by Yang Shixiang, you can go in without having to pass it on.

The personal soldiers who were holding the door looked at the young man in black, trying hard to remember Wang Chenhao's face so as to save him from not knowing Mount Tai next time he saw him.

In the West Pavilion, Yang Shixiang arranged for someone to serve Wang Chenhao for a break, and he went to see Li Hongzhang in person.

Unexpectedly, Li Hongzhang was not here, and Yang Shixiang was called away by his colleagues to discuss important matters, but he left Wang Chenhao alone in the wing room.

Wang Chenhao waited for a long time, and when he was impatient, he came out to stroll around.

Li Hongzhang was in a high position, and his office was naturally very grand. Wang Chenhao was fascinated by the sight and walked into the back garden without realizing it.

There is paradise above and underneath, Suzhou and Hangzhou, which refers to the world-wide fairyland of Suzhou gardens. In the back garden of the government office, you can also see the trees and flowers of all over the country, which shows that the owner's power is no problem.

As he walked, he suddenly heard the sound of a woman playing. Wang Chenhao was curious and walked along the tunnel.

Turning over the rockery, under several osmanthus trees on the green field beside the stream, several young women in various costumes were chasing and playing around each other under the thick osmanthus trees.

The young woman's playful sound immediately attracted Wang Chenhao's attention and stopped to watch.

From Lushun to Tianjin, Wang Chenhao rarely saw young women walking on the streets. They were dressed very simply, had no bright colors, and rarely wore jewelry.

But here, under the osmanthus tree, three women chasing each other were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the gold and silver jewelry they were wearing were shining with golden sunlight in the play, casting them with a layer of dreamy color, like fairies.

The three women were dressed in red, green, and white. Whenever they bent down and raised their hips and looked up, their concave figure was outlined to the fullest. Wang Chenhao was so feasted in his eyes and exclaimed in his heart.

None of them did not have the "two heads" worn by a banner woman, but the Han women's hair was hung in a bun. This hairstyle is mostly the hairstyle of a girl who has not left the room. She will split her hair, tie her hair on the top, and does not need to support her, so that she will hang naturally, and end the tail and hang on her shoulders, also known as the swallow tail.

I guess this is the beauty of the Qing Dynasty!

Wang Chenhao was watching a woman in ancient costume for the first time, which was much more real than on TV and movies.

Perhaps because they were tired of chasing, the three women stopped one after another. Or perhaps because there was no outsider, the woman in red and the woman in green sat directly on the lawn, and only the woman in white reached out to pick a piece of osmanthus, and then smelled the fragrance of osmanthus intoxicatedly.

When touching the scene, Wang Chenhao suddenly felt the fragrance of osmanthus and couldn't help but look at her.

The woman in white is tall, wearing a moon-white dress, with snow feather shoulders, and a milky white satin dress mixed with pink satin. The nameless color is made of many gold and silver lines. The slender waist is not enough to hold it, showing a delicate figure. The big glazed eyes are shining like black stones. The eyes are instantly dissipated, and the cherry mouth is vermilion but bright. Her beautiful hair is lightly tied with silver jade purple moon hairpin, as if she is beautiful, as if she is floating like a fairy.

What a stunning woman!

The moment Wang Chenhao saw the beauty in white, his heart jumped up with a thumping thump. He hurriedly took out his cell phone and took a photo of the stunning woman who was intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers.

"Crack!"

The moment the phone took a photo, the sound of the three women in tranquility immediately alarmed.

"Who?"

The woman in red shouted, and the three women looked at Wang Chenhao next to the rockery.

Wang Chenhao secretly called out terrible and hurriedly walked away. Unexpectedly, the road around the rockery was too complicated. After walking twice, he was blocked by three women.

Looking at the three beauties with wide eyes, Wang Chenhao had to pretend to be stupid and smile and said, "Hi! Hello, three beauties!"
