After receiving reinforcements, the British and French troops immediately raised their troops to the north, and when they arrived at the Bohai Bay, they had long heard in the south that the two commanders-in-chief of the royal navy of the Qing Dynasty had established ironclad ships -- the two commanders-in-chief of the inland ironclad gunboats had also seen it in Guangzhou, at least the sail warships were not opponents. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info even if the guns on the sail battleship are several times more than the inland ironclad gunboat.

The firepower of the sail battleships was not enough to break through the defensive armor of the inland ironclad gunboats - even if the guns hit, they could only kill and injure the ship's deck personnel. The breech-loading rifled guns of the river gunboats were able to pierce the hulls of wooden sail battleships -- fortunately, the guns of the river guns were not of a large caliber and did not cause fatal damage to the hull, otherwise the artillery battle outside Guangzhou would not have been just about casualties.

When the two commanders-in-chief arrived, they met again and began to discuss the battle plan. The fleet came here, and there were two ways to go, first to fight a naval battle or a landing operation, and then the navy to find an opportunity to fight the Qing fleet.

In the end, it was decided to see the strength of the forts near Jinwei first, and if it was strong, it would land first and rely on the army to solve the problem. If the defense is weak, just like the Tiger Gate back then, then take the fort first. As for the Qing Navy, I heard that there were only a few ironclad ships, and the coalition forces had more than 200 professional naval warships, more than 100 battleships, four ironclad ships, and several ships surrounded him. I'm afraid that the ironclad ships of the Qing Imperial Navy heard that hundreds of our ships were coming, and they are now waiting under the escort of the fort.

They were right, the order given to the fleet by Admiral Shengbao of the Qing Imperial Navy was to cooperate with the Dagu Fort to defend the Jinwei Gate. This is also the original words of Emperor Xianfeng's holy decree to Shengbao.

The navy of the Qing Dynasty basically had no offensive thoughts, and always thought, I don't want to bully people in this world, and who can come to bully me, but he really came.

The British and French forces each sent three ships to Dagukou first, and saw that the British and French flags had already prepared the batteries and fleets, and when they reached the kilometer, Shengbao gave an order, and hundreds of guns on the batteries opened fire together with six ironclad ships, and the shells fell like dumplings on the ships of the reconnaissance detachment and the surrounding sea.

The waves continued to bombard the deck of the detachment, and the largest of the six squadrons, the French knight 2nd sail battleship, was hit by three shells, killing and wounding. There is no way, the target of this ship is too big, almost all the guns are aimed at the Knight, and more than two hundred guns hit three shots in the first shot, which is already a good result.

In the Japan Pavilion of Sijiu City, a huge LCD screen has been hung on the wall, and Lin Haiyang, who was watching the live broadcast of the live battle with a drink, couldn't help shouting: "The first hit is good." ”

"Okay." "Smack." "Master~~" Song Haiping applauded while clapping his palm on the leg of the pretty girl next to him.

Lin Haiyang couldn't help but look at the first-class maid who was serving beside Song Haiping, her facial features were also upright, and she could barely be regarded as beautiful. Able to score 70 points - average stature. For Lin Haiyang, the level of Victoria's Secret Angel is only ninety points - model, obviously too thin.

As a perfectionist, Lin Haiyang is not as meaty as Song Haiping, and he can't find the perfect woman in his mind to have a vigorous love, Lin Haiyang would rather sleep with a robot - after all, whatever the robot wants can be made with a printer on an industrial ship.

In order to watch this live broadcast, Lin Haiyang also worked very hard, built a thousand high-definition pixel monitors, and most of them were placed in various positions where battles might occur after camouflage. There are also some that move in the air, for example, if you look closely, Katsuho has a toy wireless remote-controlled helicopter hovering 300 meters above the battlefield - this is the main monitor. Of course, even if Katsubo's eyesight could see it, at most a small black dot could be seen from 300 meters away.

The return fire was much weaker than that of the detachment, and the six battleships also had more than 200 guns, but they were all old front-loading smoothbore guns - and only half of the guns could be used to return fire. The rate of fire is slow, the range is short, and the power is low. In the past, it was very reluctant to bully my primitive Humen Fort in the Qing Dynasty -- in the end, the landing force was sent to shoot down the fort with platoon guns and bayonets.

Faced with a slightly modern turret, these wooden sail warships could only be beaten passively, barely firing dozens of cannons, and the nearest shell was still more than 100 meters away from the ironclad ship.

The soft counterattack of the foreigner reconnaissance detachment caused the sailors and gunners on the batteries and the Qing royal fleet to laugh - foreign devils, you also have today.

The more than six battleships that came to the test only ran back to two fast sail cruisers, and the remaining four ships also wanted to run, but either the sails were damaged by cannonballs, or the hull was flooded, and after the speed dropped, they had no choice but to run and sank in the rumbling cannon.

Shengbao sent a small boat to catch dozens of British and French sailors who had fallen into the water and did not die, and soon let his men tie up and send them to the capital to offer prisoners. Fortunately, the emperor commanded the decisive victory thousands of miles away, and only a few people were slightly wounded in the royal fleet and the fort garrison -- two were hit by the shells, and five were burned by the barrels.

After the first round, looking at the movement of the main force of the British and French forces, Song Haiping asked Lin Haiyang: "Haiyang, it's okay if you're not on the ship." ”

Lin Haiyang: "You haven't seen it in Japan now, it's completely different from when we first arrived three years ago." It can be said that a small change in one year and a big change in three years. ”

Song Haiping: "Oh, what a big change, I also have an excerpt." If you look at the industrial output value of the factory, it is pitifully low. ”

Lin Haiyang: "The industry is a little low, but it is finally there, from scratch, you think this is a lot of progress." In addition, the shogunate now controls 92 percent of Japan's land, except for some stubborn monasteries, the rest of the land is under the control of the shogunate, and last year, 57 percent of the Japanese peasants did not go hungry for a whole year, and their families still had a little surplus food after eating two dry meals a day.

Today, Japan's grain production has increased by an average of 1.6 times compared to three years ago, and agricultural tax revenues have been halved to only 30 percent, while the shogunate's agricultural tax revenues have increased several times - because the lands of other daimyo have also been recovered.

Roads have been repaired in most areas, and next year's main focus will be on road upgrades, and if you want to build railways, I think it's okay, because there are too many earthquakes there, and there is a lot of damage to the railways, and now there is not so much labor in Japan to repair the railways.

Now the shogunate has an army of one million in addition to hundreds of thousands of officials at all levels. Always ready to fight to the death with Yangyi. ”

Song Haiping began to reveal the old bottom: "More than half of your army of millions of Japanese pirates are garrisons from all over the country, and they can't be transferred around. In my opinion, the most used are the armed police, and there are more than 100,000 of them are production and construction corps, and when the farming season is off, they go to the countryside to build houses and build new rural areas, and when the farming season is busy, they help the military families of the suffering households in various places to do farm work. If it can really be pulled out and fought, it will be just two or three hundred thousand new-style army troops. ”
