The latest "Nanyang Siang Pau" was about one-third of the way through typesetting and printing. Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a long gown rushed into the printing factory and said to the foreman: "Stop, stop! Stop printing, rearrange."
."
"Mr. Zhang, more than half of this has been printed," the foreman opened his mouth and added a large amount to the actual number printed, "stop rearranging..."
"Isn't it just silver?" Zhang Shizhao slapped two large official silver coins on the table, "Rearrange them for me."
Then the mechanical roar of the printing plant suddenly stopped.
The same scene happened in several cities across China. The newspapers that favored Southeast Asia urgently stopped the printing of new newspapers and put the news of the navy's victory on the front page. Those who controlled the traditional officials and gentry,
The newspapers in the hands of local chaebols also opened their own small workshops and used manual roller printing to temporarily add extra numbers.
Before dawn the next day, the childish voices of newsboys filled the streets and alleys of every Chinese city.

In the early morning of the 7th, the Naval Headquarters opposite the Prime Minister's Office at No. 49 Dongtangzi Hutong in Beijing was bustling with activity. In fact, all the commanding organs of the Navy were in Langgabo. This Naval Headquarters was set up by Lin Youde in Beijing to show that the Navy was still under the control of the imperial court.
The look works.
In the entire naval headquarters, except for a few liaison officers, the largest "office" is the military band. This military band of more than 300 people is well-trained and well-equipped. If nothing happens, it will play Nanyang Army marches opposite the Prime Minister's Yamen.
The Three Pay Attention and the Eight Disciplines and singing about the motherland often attract many idle people and children with nothing to do to watch.
Early this morning, the military band gathered in full force on the playground in front of the headquarters. At eight o'clock sharp, they walked out of the gate of the Navy Headquarters and played the Navy military song "Song of the Athletes of Helang Yabo" towards Dongjiaomin Alley.
Advance to the embassy district.
This section of the road was not long, but the band walked for almost two hours. Several groups of students in Beijing joined the advancing queue along the way. Banners and slogans with wet ink filled the entire street for a while.
When the crowd marched in front of the Japanese Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane, the students began to sing. There were still very few new songs with modern ideas, so the students naturally sang catchy new songs composed by Lin Youde.
The Japanese soldiers in front of the embassy were standing ready, but they were obviously not as domineering as usual.
The guards of other embassies stuck their heads out and gloated at the Japanese's misfortune.
In addition, at about the same time, students in Tianjin rushed into the house of the Japanese Concession Preparatory Committee, smashed the committee's offices and burned documents wantonly; in Shanghai, under the instruction of Sa Zhenbing, the coastal defense battery fired at the Japanese gunboats anchored at Wusongkou.
Fire.
Apart from these explosive actions, most areas expressed their joy of victory in a quite mild way. This is probably because the national identity between China and Japan was quite high at this time, and there was not yet the unforgettable hatred that would come later. After all,
In this time and space, even the Eight-Nation Alliance has not happened...
In Horanggabo, due to Lin Ji's tireless propaganda since the October 4 Incident, after the news of the victory spread, a strange scene of Japanese and Chinese celebrating together appeared in the city.
**
While people from all walks of life were busy celebrating, Lin Youde was still fast asleep in bed.
Lin Youde had the habit of sleeping in, and he had fun till late at night last night, which was almost drained by the two girls, so even at the end of the day, he still showed no sign of waking up.
On the other hand, the two beauties on his bed had woken up early. Josephine had raised the pillows and was half sitting on the bed with a waistcoat on, reading a book.
Lin Youde woke up...
When they fell asleep last night, they both snuggled in Lin Youde's arms and enjoyed the shoulder pillow. However, not long after falling asleep, Josephine broke away from Lin Youde's arms and raised herself up to sleep comfortably, while Xun was hugged by Lin Youde from beginning to end.
In his arms, and later used as a pillow, the girl was woken up three times by Lin Youde during the night, but each time she fell asleep again with a happy face after secretly kissing Lin Youde.
The result is that Josephine is full of energy and radiant, but Xun's face has a faint look of tiredness - and then still radiant.
As for Lin Youde's third guard, Shen Ji, Ba came in early in the morning to see the situation, and then said to Josephine, who had already woken up: "I will preside over today's court meeting. There are important things."
I will report again."
"Excuse me." Josephine nodded lightly.
When it was almost lunchtime, Lin Youde finally woke up naturally. He yawned and opened his eyes, and Xun's smiling face came into his field of vision.
"Good morning, ah, maybe good day is more appropriate."
Lin Youde raised his hand and touched Xun's head. It was a beautiful thing to wake up naturally. After opening his eyes, he immediately saw the beautiful girl's smile. He could also feel the smooth skin of the beautiful girl on his chest, arms and thighs, and his ears
There are also soft and sweet greetings... This feeling is really great.
Lin Youde turned his head and glanced at his wife beside him, sighing in his heart that Eastern girls and Western girls really have completely different charms.
"Ba came here this morning and said that she would host the court meeting. It should be over by now." Josephine reported to Lin Youde in an orderly manner, as if she had not seen the intimate behavior between Lin Youde and the "stealing cat", "From now on
Judging from the fact that Tomoe didn’t come in again to report, there shouldn’t be anything unexpected happening.”
"Then I will go to see Kutsuhime after dinner as scheduled today."
"When was the reservation made? Why didn't I know?"
In reply, Lin Youde sat up and kissed his wife gently.
Josephine sighed, shook her head, and asked no more questions.
"Um," Xun said cautiously, "what happened to Her Majesty Kutsu-hime?"
The conversation between Lin Youde and Josephine just now was in English, but Xun not only doesn't understand English, he can't even understand Chinese, and can only barely understand letters written in Chinese characters - international communication is actually quite troublesome.
——She probably heard the Roman pronunciation of "Kujin-hime", so she asked this question.
"It's okay, it's just that I plan to see her and discuss future matters with her."
Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and the girl sat up from the bed. The quilt slid down her shoulders, leaving her beautiful upper body exposed to the skylight coming in from the window.
Lin Youde reached out and grabbed Xun's breasts and rubbed them hard.
Josephine gently tapped Lin Youde on the back of the head with the book in her hand.
"Even I would be angry if you did something like this so early in the morning. As long as you work hard all day, you will be rewarded in the evening. Why are you anxious?"
"Well, well, although I don't understand what my wife said, I think she is right."
Although Lin Youde wanted to complain, "How can I know she is right if I don't understand", but... Josephine was indeed right, so Lin Youde took away his hand and took a deep breath to calm down his little brother.
Then he jumped out of bed.
"Call the maid team in. I want to wash up and change clothes."
**
As soon as Lin Youde knelt down in front of Jiujinji, the little witch witch spoke.
"Mr. Lin, you don't have to sit upright. Are you not used to that kind of posture?"
"Well, yes, it's very uncomfortable." Lin Youde didn't refuse, so he changed into a cross-legged sitting position, "If possible, I really want to lie down."
"Please, you are not subject to any restrictions here."….
"Really?" Lin Youde looked at Jiujinji doubtfully and confirmed.
Jiujinji nodded.
So Lin Youde made a "come here" gesture to Xun, who was sitting behind him and waiting for orders. After the girl sat down obediently, Lin Youde lay down with his pillow on her knees openly.
Xun glanced at Kutsuhime uneasily. Kaoru, who was once the same shrine master, knew very well the complicated rules and etiquette in the shrine palace. He knew that Lin Youde's behavior was considered treason even with the permission of the shrine master, so he was so nervous.
But Jiujinji didn't seem to care at all about Lin Youde's extravagant efforts. The moment her eyes met Xun, Jiujinji asked about something else: "Your Highness Kagetorahime, I would like to ask, have you defected to Mr. Lin's side?
Is it because you agree with Mr. Lin’s ideas?”
"Huh?"
In fact, although Kagetorahime is a sacred shrine maiden and responded to Emperorhime's request to carry out such a suicidal mission, she does not have any political ideals in her heart. She simply inherited the beliefs passed down by the shrine from generation to generation and prepared to serve the country and be loyal.
This girl seemed determined, but in fact she was frighteningly pure. After she fell in love with Lin Youde and was fucked hard by Lin Youde's overlord, she muddleheadedly believed in Lin Youde's deception.
No wonder she was so flustered when faced with Jiu Jinji's sudden question.
Lin Youde squinted his eyes to appreciate the awkward and awkward expression on the girl's face, but because the girl was sitting upright with her back straight, from Lin Youde's perspective, the girl's face was completely blocked by her breasts.
On the other side, Jiu Jinji seemed to have discovered what was going on, so she nodded and said: "So, it's because I was inspired by Mr. Lin's personal charm."
What a "influenced by personal charm", Lin Youde thought.
After confirming Xun's matter, Jiujinji turned her attention to Lin Youde who was rubbing Xun's thighs and belly comfortably.
"Mr. Lin, I can somewhat guess the purpose of your visit."
"Well, I'm afraid it's what you guessed. I hope to get a relatively complete picture of Japanese factories, skilled workers, scholars, and the goddesses of various shrines in Japan. So I must rely on your influence, Kutsuhime, to achieve it as much as possible.
'Bloodless Kaicheng' across the entire island of Japan."
"Even if you don't deliberately ask for it, I will do your best," Jiujinji paused, then continued with a slightly higher tone, "However, there is something I want to confirm with you, Mr. Lin, in person."
"Speaking."
"Master Lin, what are your plans after you get the factory, the soldiers and the goddess?"
This problem was completely within Lin Youde's expectation.
Although Helang Yabo has been developing at a cheating speed in recent years, it is still no match for Japan's decades of accumulation during the Meiji Restoration. Japan's factories and schools will undoubtedly greatly strengthen Lin Ji's power. Not to mention Japan's bloodless Kaicheng
The next batch will definitely be classified as Shen Ji under Lin Ji's name.
The birth of a goddess is extremely random, and the birth of a high-level goddess is yet another level of randomness based on randomness. It has been more than three years since Lin Ji registered and tested newborn girls in his own territory.
I found a few Shenji Miaozi whose bloodline was not very pure.
But this kind of randomness that depends entirely on the sky sometimes leads to some very bad results, such as the birth of multiple high-level goddesses for many years in a row. This is not a particularly rare situation in human history. Human society generally
This situation is regarded as a good omen for the country and the nation. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan experienced the "Twenty Years of Miracles". During these twenty years, Japan gave birth to a number of high-level shrines. This also became Japan's courage to
One of the important reasons for the Sino-Japanese War was to wage war between Guozuo and the huge Qing Empire...
If these goddesses are in the hands of Lin Youde, Lin Ji's biggest weakness will no longer exist. Lin Ji's future trends, which have been greatly strengthened, will naturally become the focus of Jiu Jin Ji's attention.
To this, Lin Youde had already prepared an answer: "Originally, according to my plan, we would launch the Northern Expedition in 1905 to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty. However, the war with Russia greatly delayed our preparation progress. If
To realize the bloodless Kaicheng of Japan, I think we can resume the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty by force in 1905 and establish a unified Chinese empire. At that time, I will serve as the head of the empire, and Lin Ji will start to integrate domestic resources and prepare to face the coming world.
Great war."
"In other words, your ambition is not just the Central Plains, but the world, right?"
"That's right, at the earliest times, the Chinese believed that the Central Plains was the world. Later, with the development of productivity, the scope of this 'world' gradually expanded. At this point in time, 'the world' is the world, and it is a time of chaos.
A world in which a grown man lives in troubled times, how can he not care about the world?"
Jiujinji was silent, while Xun subconsciously gently stroked Lin Youde's short hair with his fingers.
Finally, Jiu Jinji smacked her lips: "To actually say such bold words while resting on the knee of a beautiful girl, Mr. Lin, you will definitely become the strangest and most **** conqueror in the world."
Lin Youde laughed.
"You are right, it is also one of my dreams to have all the beautiful girls in the world under my control!"
