Guangxu had already issued an order, and Zhao Huaiye was handed over to the Criminal Department for interrogation, asking why he was close to Jinzhou, but did not send troops to rescue Jinzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And Zhao Huaiye's death made it a clear unsolved case why he didn't send troops to rescue.

Guangxu was furious.

The Imperialism was furious.

The world is clear and angry!

So impeachment and cursing Li Hongzhang's twists and turns, like goose feathers and heavy snow in Liaodong, poured into the Forbidden City.

It's not that Li Hongzhang will be punished tomorrow.

is to ask Li Hongzhang to be raided and put Li Hongzhang in prison for strict interrogation, and torture him to find out about his forbiddency.

And Zhang Shiheng, the general office of the Beiyang Bureau, has been arrested by the Hefei Government.

Emperor Guangxu issued an order to immediately escort Zhang Shiheng to Zhang Zhidong, the new governor of Liangjiang, for trial, and it was necessary to pry out from his mouth whether he had a 'common enemy' or 'enemy'.

For a time, Li Hongzhang, the old minister of Zhongxing and the first minister of the Qing Dynasty, became a rotten egg that stinks so much that it can't be stinky anymore.

Everyone shouted and shouted and killed, cursed and spat on it.

Dalian Bay.

On November 10, the Japanese fleet entered the bay and successfully cleared out nearly 18 square meters of safe water, which was about 6,500 meters away from the Qing army's coastal forts.

At this distance, the 120mm rapid-fire guns of the Combined Fleet were already able to easily cover all the coastal batteries in Dalian Bay.

The coastal defense battle of Dalian Bay began immediately.

At 4 o'clock in the morning on November 11, the booster boiler of the Oriental Combined Fleet debugged the artillery and entered the actual combat state.

Soon, smoke billowed from the huge chimneys of the ship, and in the dark silence of the night, the chimney glowed with a palpitating dark red.

The strangeness of the Japanese warship group in Dalian Bay was immediately discovered by the soldiers in charge of the vigilance, and the Laolongdao Fort immediately sounded a loud wake-up call, and the artillerymen rushed to the fort one after another.

The old dragon head fort of Laolong Island, the Huangshan fort lit a large number of torches, and everything around was visible in the snow.

The loud military horn also alarmed the Huang Jianxing battalion of the Monk Island Fort, and the soldiers of Mao Chao's department, who were responsible for the two forts, also took immediate action.

Everyone is jumping violently in their hearts, and their blood is surging.

Because every soldier, every officer knew that the Japanese fleet, after several days of cleaning, finally began to launch an official attack.

"The people are in the fort!"

"Eighteen years later, it's another man!"

"The gentleman will die in the fort today!"

Suddenly, all kinds of shouts on the fort showed determination, but it was undeniable that the futile bombardment for several days in a row also made all the artillerymen have a deep sense of frustration.

At 5:15 a.m., the Japanese ships were ready and sounded their whistles.

At 5:50 a.m., Japanese gunboats and torpedo boats entered Dalian Bay, and they will be responsible for continuing to sweep away mines in the remaining waters in preparation for the future when the ship group will be based in Dalian Bay and stationed in Dalian Bay.

Seeing these small ships sailing into Dalian Bay, the artillerymen of the Monk Island and Laolong Island batteries no longer paid attention to them, but quietly waited for the arrival of the Japanese capital ship group.

At 6:10, when the first line appeared in the eastern sky at dawn, the Japanese capital ship group began to slowly enter Dalian Bay.

At this time, on the post road from Jinzhou to Dalian, He Changying was riding a war horse and marching towards Dalian Bay.

"Poof, poof—"

War horses run on the snow, hoofs down.

-- As long as we can delay the Jinda line for 10 days, let all the guns and ammunition be transported to Lushun, and then set fire to the coal stored in Dalian Bay, we can greatly slow down the Japanese attack on Lushun.

-- As long as Lushun can hold out until the end of the year, it will be a dream for the Japanese army to open up a battlefield on the southern front in Ludong this year.

- At the end of this month, Yamaprefecture Aritomo will be recalled to Toyo, and Nozu Michikani will take his place; The extremely cold weather and the heroic resistance of all units of the Qing army, the Japanese army will be firmly pressed in Yingkou, Haicheng, Phoenix, and several cities.

-- When the spring flowers bloom next year, a large number of southern, western, and new armies will enter the northeast and southern Liaoning to fight; Unless the Japanese army withdraws from peace talks, it can only fight a protracted war with its bare ass.

As long as you survive this cold winter, and wait until next spring, it will be the end of the war.

Then, we should vigorously open up the wisdom of the people, run a wide range of Western studies, learn from the advanced technology and systems of the West, and develop industry.

"As long as you can hold the Dalian Bay Fort!"

He Changying ran enthusiastically, in the sound of horses' hooves, in the cold wind, he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and howl, expressing his heart.

"Boom-"

When the horse team ran to the headland of Xiaotuozi Bay, the morning sun in the east sky behind them finally showed a red edge, and the sky was still high and clear.

At this time, several huge roars sounded in the Monk Island Fort.

In He Changying's line of sight, the muzzles of more than ten 120mm old rack guns dismantled from the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division in the East Fort of Monk Island spewed out orange-red tongues of fire, and the thick smoke covered the entire East Fort position.

"The Japanese ships are attacking!"

These guns, which have been running for more than 10 years, have a range of less than 7 kilometers, and they have been silent for the past few days and have not participated in the bombardment, but now that they have opened fire, it means that the Japanese fleet has sailed into the firing range.

"Boom, boom—"

"Boom-"

"Woo-"

"Boom-"

In He Changying's sight, at the entire fort on Monk Island, flames broke out everywhere, and the Japanese army's Shimose gunpowder flowering shells were furious with huge force, smashing everything at the point of falling bullets into powder and raising them high into the sky.

At this moment, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were shaking, and the unmelted snow on the tens of millions of trees in Dalian Bay was shaking to the ground.

The war horse under He Changying's crotch let out a long roar, and his front hooves were raised high, almost throwing He Changying off the horse.

Countless huge cannon roars filled the entire heaven and earth, and the roar of cannonball explosions was everywhere, even if it was miles away, the sound of this cannon shook He Changying's ears and hurt.

The horse team following He Changying was in a commotion, and two soldiers were caught off guard and were directly thrown off the horse by the frightened war horse.

He Changying had seen the shelling of the Japanese army artillery group in Hushan, and in the past few days, she had also seen the Jinzhou defense line and the bombardment of the coastal defense artillery in Dalian Bay, and she had also made some mental preparations for the previous attack on the Japanese ship group.

However, at this time, he realized that these roadbed artillery fire was nothing compared to the naval army's giant artillery bombardment of more than 300mm caliber, as well as the huge power of the Shimose gunpowder.

"Can you hold it?"

At this time, He Changying couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it; Unless they blow up all the coastal defense batteries! ”

He Changying gritted her teeth and roared: "Sister Lu Zhao, you immediately go back and tell the Jiang army to pull his other two battalions to Dalian Bay for me; There is also Commander Xu, who also sent two battalions over! Li Bohu brought his cavalry battalion over and made me a prisoner! ”

At this time, He Changying had already let go of all warmth and humanity, and sacrificed Li Bohu's murderous knife.

In order to defend Dalian Bay, he has not hesitated!

Dalian Bay, Monk Island Fort.

This round of salvo fire from the Japanese ship group smashed all the shells on the middle battery of Monk Island, although more than half of the shells deviated, but the remaining small half of the artillery fire still directly blinded all the soldiers of Huang Jianxing's artillery battalion.

The tremor of the earth, the roar of the cannonballs, the fierce smoke of the yellow poison, the shrapnel that screeched and cut everything in its path.

And after the explosion, the flame that burned like fire oil was not extinguished.

Suddenly, the fort in the entire Old Dragon Island was rendered like a ghost domain.

"Boom!"

A flowering bomb with a caliber of more than 200mm smashed into an old 120mm caliber retreat gun placed in the open air, and the violent force directly smashed the gun sideways.

Then it disperses in the air.

And the eight gunners, bomberers, who stood within a radius of more than 15 meters around the artillery, were all torn to pieces by shrapnel and flames.
