When Li Hongzhang was deeply remorseful and almost died, Peng Yulin also isolated himself from everyone.

On the roof of the command ship, there is a small attic for observing the enemy. Now that he was safe, he drove out the sailors there.

Now the fleet is moving from west to east on the wide waters of the Zhujiang River, and although the wind and waves are calm, his heart is turbulent, and although the wind and sun are beautiful, his face is cloudy.

From encountering the enemy when he left Guigang to rushing out of the Black Dragon Pond Fortress, he had never experienced this waterway before, and he could not even imagine it.

In terms of the number of ships, the fleet intercepted outside Guigang was basically the same as its own fleet, but the result of the confrontation was a great victory for the enemy and a great defeat for our army. At least half of the ships were lost in that encounter.

It's not that our army's firepower is not good, the enemy has at least gained the upper hand without using sharper weapons than us.

The enemy ships are the best ironclads, and we are also ironclads, and they are comparable in the quality of the ships. But here's a big problem, a big one: Our ironclad ships were bought by the Manchu Qing center at a huge cost of silver taels, and they were harassed by the foreign powers in every way; and where did their ironclad ships come from? Not to mention the silver taels, who did the ships come from? Why did they sell them? Who are they?

However, these doubts are not the reason for this failure, and that will be clarified later. If the cause of the failure is not found and not targeted to solve it, such failure will not only continue, but also expand the scale.

He observed with his own eyes during the battle, and thought about it repeatedly after the war, that the biggest difference between him and the enemy ships was in the command and organization of the fleet. All but one of its three hundred ships are troop carriers. Two hundred ships were under one commander.

Group operations are okay, but there is nothing that can be done by fighting separately and adopting some flexible battle formations. If it does not start with the establishment of the organization, there are many connections in normal times, and temporary separation and merger can only cause chaos.

As for the enemy's fleet, regardless of whether it is concentrated or separated, it is commanded with determination, like an arm's command. For example, the one that was converted from a frontal interception to two long dragon flank invasions, with no suffocation in between, just like a drill that had been arranged a long time ago.

It's the same with eating two-thirds of my interceptor fleet, it's not the kind of hard work at all. It is estimated that these fleets and the Black Dragon Pond fortress are one party. At least communicate with each other. Knowing that they were there to intercept it, otherwise they wouldn't have let us cross this waterway.

As for my own fleet, I took it over from the original head of the sailors, although the command was in my hands. There are also no obstacles to the implementation of the order. Shang Fang's sword in hand. Who would dare not listen? Although this Shang Fang sword is a little lacking, it is more than enough to deal with these people.

But all this does not compensate for the deficiencies in organization and command. The time for myself to accept it is still short, and it has been less than a month since I was full. There is simply no time to make organizational adjustments, and there is no time to improve the command, let alone train accordingly!

Such a sailor, if he encounters a rabble, can still win by virtue of the strength of his own ships, but when he encounters a fleet of the same quality, he has no certainty of victory; now, the opponent is obviously much stronger than himself in organization and command, and defeat is inevitable.

This is also thanks to Master Zeng. If it weren't for the three machine qì guns specially given by Lord Zeng, by the way, what is the name of Makqin, although the name is very awkward, it is really pleasant to use!

When I was desperate, I was nervous, I didn't have any certainty at all, anyway, if I didn't succeed, I would become a benevolent, but I didn't expect to really break through the enemy's blockade!

Not only did he break through the enemy's encirclement and get Master Li out of danger, but he also defeated all those fierce and cunning enemies, at least a thousand people, right?

If the water battle in front of us was a fiasco, this breakthrough battle was at least a victory, a joyful victory!

However, how much did this victory, the overall situation of Lord Zeng, and the fulfillment of my special mission help?

Basically, no. The only thing that can be fortunate is that Master Li and I are still there, so there is no need for Lord Zeng to find another person. The premise is that Master Zeng can forgive us and continue to believe and use us.

I'm in sympathy with Master Li now.

Thinking of this, Peng Yulin took a long breath, and seemed to still put these unpleasant memories into the torrent of Jiang Xin, washing his heart and turning a new page of his life.

Unlike Li Hongzhang, he was not depressed, nor did he blame himself too much. Because when Lord Zeng gave him the task of rebuilding the navy, he once reminded him: The old navy system can be used if it can be used, and it cannot be used at the expense of tearing down and rebuilding a new type of navy, which is on par with the world powers.

This fiasco of the sailors is not a good thing. If it weren't for this opportunity, it would not have been possible to make up his mind to disband the original sailors, and even the internal resistance would be enough to make people alone and lonely, and they would have been wiped out by the enemy. Whoever has an opinion, go to those enemies.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, looked up to the sky and roared, and made up my mind - the heavens have descended on me Peng Yulin, who loves me so much, the time and place are favorable, and I am ready, I will not take advantage of the situation to rise up, but when!

This Peng Yulin sorted out his thoughts, like a giant ship ready to set off. No one knew what was in his mind, but his roar spread throughout the fleet.

Everyone didn't say anything, but they vomited in their hearts: "This mourning star who doesn't know where he came from won't lose his heart and have a crazy attack, right? Forget if you are unlucky, you will also bring Lao Tzu to suffer defeat together. This is the mind of the cynical kind.

"The new chief has two brushes. In that case, if you can get out of danger safely, it must be a great creation with a blessed star and a bright future. I went through this hardship with him, and he will definitely 'be rich and noble, and never forget each other', right?" is the idea of people who are accustomed to seeing the light.

Brother Peng seems to have made up his mind. Li Hongzhang, who decided not to die, but to meet with Ye Mingchen, the governor of Guangdong, to discuss the opportune situation, just stepped out of his room, he heard Peng Yulin's long roar, and Li Hongzhang, who knew this colleague of both civil and military affairs and the literati among the military generals, immediately understood his mood from his roar, and couldn't help but be pleased.

In the final analysis, Brother Peng was burdened by me Li Hongzhang this time. If it weren't for my request, there would be no need for him to go deep into Guangxi, which he was not familiar with at all. I hope he can rise from this defeat and build the sailor into an invincible save. As for what the guilt is, I, Li Hongzhang, have to bear it! (To be continued......)
