During the battle, Hu Zhen expected one or two more Mi warships to surrender, but in view of the successive surrenders of Mi warships that led to the increasing combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Army, the Mi country, which is known for its surrender, passed a very harsh decree in its parliament, prohibiting the Mi army from surrendering to the enemy with weapons and equipment on the battlefield.

As a result, this time, the Mi army fleet was afraid of the strict punishment of the Mi country, and no one dared to drive the warship to surrender to the Huaxia army.

Therefore, the Huaxia army had no choice but to annihilate most of the Mi fleet, and only seven destroyers of the Mi army escaped in disgrace.

But Hu Zhen did not intend to let go of the remnants of the small destroyers, and sent Geng Huoyan to lead twelve destroyers in pursuit on the flagship of the cruiser, and chased them all the way to the sea off Seattle, the port of the United States, and sank six more Mi destroyers.

At this point, the huge fleet of the Mi army when it left the port, only a lone destroyer was left to flee back to the port, and many Mi people saw it and cried sadly on the spot.

Up and down the country, they began to cry again.

However, the headquarters of the base camp of the Japanese country, the initiator of it, received the news that the Huaxia army had beaten the fleet of the United States, and everyone was overjoyed.

Meiji Emperor Muhito jumped up very disgracedly, slapped the table and shouted at the ministers: "I order, the combined fleet will attack immediately and sweep away the Beiyang fleet of the Qing Kingdom!" ”

The important ministers of the Japanese kingdom shouted: "The combined fleet is ready to attack!" ”

Suddenly, the whole kingdom of Wa, like a clockwork with a full wind, began to move in a direction that was completely uncontrollable to them.

In hindsight, some people believed that the destruction of the Wa Kingdom began from the moment the madman Meiji Emperor Muhito ordered the combined fleet to attack.

After January 1894, due to the tense situation caused by the uprising of the Donghak Party in Goryeo, the suzerainty of the Qing Dynasty sent more than 20,000 army troops to Goryeo, and in order to ensure the safety of water transportation, the Beiyang Fleet also dispatched escorts.

Early in the morning of February 25, 1894. It was a cloudy day with light rain.

When the Beiyang Fleet sailed to Dadonggou in the Yellow Sea, it suddenly found that the combined fleet of the Japanese State was lying in ambush there.

The undeclared war of the Japanese state made the Beiyang Fleet very angry.

However, after being stimulated by the Huaxia Army. The combined fleet of the Japanese state was more well-prepared and more advanced, and its tonnage, the speed of warships, the number of guns, and the rate of fire of artillery shells far surpassed that of the old Beiyang Fleet.

Although the officers and men of the Beiyang Fleet fought bravely, Deng Shichang led the Zhiyuan ship to collide with the enemy ship and sank. The other officers and soldiers also behaved very bravely.

But after all, the ships are inferior to the people, the artillery is not as good as the people, and the artillery technology is not as good as the people, and after the first battle of Dadonggou, six warships of the Beiyang Fleet, Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, Chaoyong, Yangwei, Guangjia, and Guangyi, were sunk, and Laiyuan, Dingyuan, and Zhenyuan were seriously injured and could not continue the battle.

The gunboat Akagi of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Kingdom was sunk, and the four ships of Matsushima, Yoshino, Hiei, and Nishikyo Maru were seriously damaged, and the Japanese Fleet suffered heavy losses, but it was able to continue fighting. More importantly, after many years of the Meiji Restoration, the Wa state was significantly more capable of repairing ships than the Qing dynasty, which had a reactive Westernization movement.

Therefore, unlike the history of another time and space, after the Battle of Dadonggou, the superior Japanese combined fleet did not take the initiative to retreat back to its country, but launched a pursuit in the direction of Lushun, and the Beiyang Fleet did not dare to withdraw to Lushun when it saw this, and took advantage of the wind, rain and night cover to withdraw to the anchorage of Liugong Island in Weihai, Shandong.

The two fleets fought to the death in Dadonggou. Due to the strict secrecy of both sides, it was not until the fourth day that the news was learned of when the Japanese army attacked Goryeo and the Qing Dynasty on a large scale.

"The First Sino-Japanese War broke out half a year early. The offensive of this Japanese kingdom is much more powerful than that of another time and space, I can't imagine it! "The Huaxia Army has an internal arrangement in Beiyang, but it can't carry a radio, and Hu Zhen only knew about it two days earlier than the others, and he was the only one who sighed in his heart about the changes here.

"Sir. This is a great opportunity for us to return to our homeland! "Hearing the news of the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Huaxia Army was very excited, and Zheng Dingbang, deputy chief of general staff and commander of the fleet, was one of them, and he was by Hu Zhen's side and immediately made suggestions.

"That's right, this is our chance! Now it is possible to telegraph the army to assemble and start strict training against the Japanese army, and our army will inevitably have a battle with the Japanese ** army in the near future. ”

Hu Zhen didn't want the lives of the Chinese people to be miserable, and he was unwilling to use the means of war to let the Huaxia army attack the Chinese mainland, causing his subordinates to think that his attitude was unclear, and now Hu Zhen said this, the people around him couldn't help but be happy, and those young staff officers couldn't help jumping up and cheering, but because they were still in a state of war with the Mi people, no one dared to move.

But Hu Zhen changed his breath and said, "However, you can't act rashly now. ”

This poured a bucket of cold water over everyone's heads.

"When is the right time to return to our homeland?" Everyone immediately felt very uncomfortable when they heard this, and Zheng Dingbang, deputy chief of the general staff, felt very disappointed when they heard it.

Hu Zhen saw it in his eyes, smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this Japanese country is our sworn enemy of China, if Great China wants to rise in the world, it must sweep away the Japanese country, after placing the square meters of the people, when our navy main force returns to the far east and west Pacific, it is time for us to do it!" ”

"However, now that the Mi Navy has been annihilated, what else do we need to do?"

"It's very simple, we just need to put our naval fleet here, and force the people of the United States to sign the alliance under the city to pay a military indemnity!"

Hu Zhen commanded the main fleet to negotiate with the United States on the west coast of the United States, and on the other side, dozens or hundreds of transport ships were transferred to quickly transport a large number of weapons, ammunition, medicines, food, and other materials to reinforce the Indian army, so that the Indian army established a reserve of ammunition and materials needed for two years of combat by an army of 300,000.

The people of the United States saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, and understood that the Huaxia Army was doing this completely to support the Indians who split the country, but Hu Zhen just wanted to start negotiations slowly.

This forced Grover Cleveland, who ascended to the presidency for the second time, had no choice but to pinch his nose and sign a treaty, admitting that the torpedo boat that blew up and sank the Atlanta cruiser of the Huaxia Army was the work of the radical youth of the United States, and compensated the Huaxia Army with 60 million rice dollars, equivalent to 12 million pounds sterling.

In Grover Cleveland's tearful recounting, many members of the Senate and House of Representatives shed tears, and they understood that if they did not give compensation to the demon of the Huaxia Army, the Huaxia Army would tear the country apart and divide it into countless small countries, and the country of Milican would cease to exist.

Because of this understanding, the Senate and the House of Representatives of the National Assembly surprisingly quickly passed a bill on compensation to the Huaxia Army by a large number of votes.
