Chapter 370: Japanese Intelligence Annihilation of the North Ocean
Li Hongzhang was taken aback and asked, "Urgent electricity?" What kind of emergency call, the old man has never received any urgent call from Fengtian in recent days? Saying this, Li Hongzhang looked at Zhang Peilun, if there was any urgent telegram from the Prime Minister's Affairs Yamen, it would definitely be handed to Zhang Peilun.
Zhang Peilun shook his head and said, "My lord, I have never received an urgent call from the Prime Minister's Yamen
。 ”
Li Hongzhang said: "Youqiao, you immediately go to the Prime Minister's Yamen, ask them, and see whose hands the telegram is pressed on, these people are getting more and more unreasonable. ”
Li Wei said: "My lord, no need, it's too late, my subordinates have a telegram from Fengtian here, and I will present it to my lord!" ”
Li Hongzhang asked in a deep voice: "Why, such an urgent matter?" ”
Saying this, Li Hongzhang took Li Wei's telegram, opened it and looked at it, only to see a few words on the telegram: "Shocked by the information from Tokyo, the Japanese naval fleet plans to launch a surprise attack on the Weihaiwei Beiyang Naval Division in the middle of the night of September 29, that is, to warn Zhongtang, you must ask Admiral Yuting to be careful, this information has been verified, do not be careless!" ”
Li Hongzhang's face changed greatly, and he was so shocked that he fell to the ground along with the telegram.
Li Hongzhang stomped his feet anxiously and shouted again and again: "Mistaken things, misguided things, delayed big things!" ”
Seeing this, Zhang Peilun hurriedly picked up the telegram, and after reading it, he was also in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "My lord, it's already the morning of the 29th, hurry up and send a telegram to Brother Yuting, it's really too late if it's too late!" "Crossing the King of Special Forces 370
Li Hongzhang said: "Youqiao, you personally go to Yuting and send an urgent telegram, ask him to prepare to meet the enemy immediately, quickly!" Be quick! ”
There is only less than a day left, and it takes more than two hours for these warships to catch fire and raise anchor, and they are all burning eyebrows, and now I am afraid that there is no news from Ding Ruchang!
Li Hongzhang shouted angrily: "Come on, give me the guards who are on duty in front of the house today, beat them to death with sticks, fuck, I almost missed Lao Tzu's big event!" ”
Li Wei replied: "Lord Zhongtang, the letter has been delivered, if there is nothing else, my subordinates will leave first." (Marshmallow offers Txt free download)"
Li Hongzhang arched his hand and said: "Thank you, old man, when I say hello to your family commander and general, the old man is in a hurry."
。 ”
Li Wei turned around and walked out.
Li Hongzhang smashed the bookcase with a vicious fist, and said hatefully: "Don't let Lao Tzu find out who is the guts to seize Lao Tzu's telegram without authorization, otherwise the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be able to save you, if you don't kill you, Lao Tzu will not be a man!" ”
Li Hongzhang is really angry, and there are almost no incidents that can make Li Hongzhang so angry over the years. ‘
Weihaiwei, until the evening, Ding Ruchang returned to the mansion, today Liu Buyun led the Dinghai ship to sail, inspect the waters of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and led the three main warships including the Dinghai ship, as well as more than a dozen gunboats all went to Lushunkou, Ding Ruchang specially sent Liu Buyun to the sea before returning.
Ding Ruchang returned to the mansion, and the copywriter below came over and said, "My lord, the urgent telegram from Jingshi Li Zhongtang has been waiting for you for more than an hour. ”
Ding Ruchang was stunned for a moment, why did he suddenly receive an urgent call from Lord Zhongtang now, now that Li Hongzhang has stepped down as Minister of Beiyang, the current correspondence is carried out in a private form.
Ding Ruchang hurriedly took the copywriter's telegram and watched it, Ding Ruchang looked at it and shouted: "It's broken, it's broken!" Send the order, send the fastest ship to set off immediately to chase down the sea ship, send the order to Liu Buchan, and return immediately, there is a big war coming! ”
The copywriter hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, adult?" ”
Ding Ruchang hurriedly said: "Li Zhongtang called, the Japanese army will raid Weihaiwei tonight, our Dinghai ship is going to the northern sea to cruise, Weihaiwei's thin force is definitely not the opponent of the Japanese combined fleet, hurry, quickly send the fastest gunboat to recover the Dinghai ship!" ”
The copywriter hurriedly agreed: "Yes, I'll give the order!" "Crossing the King of Special Forces 370
Ding Ruchang shouted outside: "Someone, someone." ”
The pro-soldiers outside hurriedly entered the hall, and Ding Ruchang shouted: "Quick, immediately send an urgent telegram to the South Gang Fort and the North Gang Battery, telling them all to enter the state of combat readiness, there is a Japanese surprise attack tonight, let them be extremely prepared for fire support, and do it immediately!" ”
The soldiers hurriedly agreed and hurried to send a telegram
。
Is it just too late?
It takes more than an hour for the battleship to start, and the speed is at the maximum, and it takes more than ten minutes, and now Liu Buyun has led the fleet to leave Weihaiwei for more than an hour, and it will take at least six or seven hours to completely catch up with them, plus the time to return to the sea, at least five hours, and when they rush back, I am afraid that it will already be noon the next day!
Even if the two major batteries immediately enter a state of combat readiness after getting the news, I am afraid that it will take several hours of preparation to be fully in place, and for such a long time, they can only rely on the support of the Beiyang Fleet itself.
Ding Ruchang was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and Ding Ruchang immediately sent an order to the officers in charge of all the ships in Weihaiwei to come to Liugong Island for an emergency military meeting within half an hour.
The management and belt officers of each capital ship received Ding Ruchang's order and quickly rushed over, it was already late at night at this moment, Ding Ruchang looked grim, look at everyone, there were only seven pipe officers today, and the pipe and belt of other ships were just here, the ship mate.
Ding Ruchang suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the matter, what about the other pipe belts?" ”
One of the ship's lieutenants replied, "Your Excellency, we took us back to the Weihai Mansion yesterday and have not returned yet." ”
The other lieutenants also replied in unison.
Ding Ruchang stomped his feet anxiously, hey! At the critical moment, these people dropped the chain, and it seems that they are too loose to control them, which is going to cost their own lives!
Ding Ruchang shouted: "The Governor has just received an urgent telegram from Lord Zhongtang, the Japanese Combined Fleet will launch an assault on Weihaiwei tonight, and now it is close to the night, they are not at the post, they have missed a major event, the Governor wants their dog heads!" You hurry back and set up, the ship will light a fire, raise anchor, check the ammunition immediately, quickly, act immediately, it is estimated that in three hours at most, the combined fleet of the Japanese army will arrive! ”
Everyone was shocked, now the ships are not prepared at all, and there are even many officers and soldiers who have returned to Liugong Island without permission, and even Weihaiwei, now that the war is imminent, how can it be in time! Ding Ruchang said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and prepare, especially the shells, you must check carefully, the shells are insufficient, immediately transfer them from the ammunition depot, quickly, it's too late, then we all have to fall into the sea to feed the fish!" Only then did everyone react, and hurriedly went down to prepare, Ding Ruchang shouted: "Order, all the officers and soldiers who are not on duty, within an hour, will return to their posts, and actively respond to the battle, the governor is not to blame for the past, if he can't come back, then the old accounts and old accounts will be counted together, and no one will let go!" ”
