On March 1, 1895 in the Western calendar, the Lushun Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Army suddenly forcibly imprisoned the high-level of the Beiyang Naval Division, and then sent troops to sweep and purge the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division in Xigang.

More than 300 officers and soldiers of the naval division were supervised and grounded, and the judges, clerks, and lecturers of the anti-Japanese army were stationed on various ships.

All warships shall lower the flags of the commander, commander-in-chief, adjutant general, and staff general of each ship.

Hang the flag of the Chinese Navy and the five-clawed flying dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty.

Only on the flagship Zhenyuan ship, the monochrome red flag of the anti-Japanese army, which represented the exercise of the power to command the fleet, was hoisted.

In this way, the Anti-Japanese Army only broke the fixed subordinate relationship between the warship pipe belt and the warship similar to the Beiyang Army in a symbolic sense through a simple process of lowering and raising the flag.

It makes the army more united and condensed, and the generals can also flow benignly within the army.

Just like the current Anti-Japanese Army, it is divided into the Lushun Army, the Shanhaiguan Army, the Shuifeng Military Region, and the Anzhou Guerrilla Zone.

He Changying's order can change the commander of the army, but it will not affect the loyalty and combat effectiveness of this army.

And the previous Beiyang armies all carried too deep personal imprints.

A general represents a fixed army, and each general often regards the army in his hand as his own personal team and becomes a tool for profit.

Just like the previous Beiyang Naval Division, Guangxu's order did not work without Li Hongzhang's nod, it didn't work at all, Li Hongzhang's order didn't work without Ding Ruchang's nod, Ding Ruchang's order went down, if the ships below violated the yin and yang, he was often in no way.

Fang Boqian and Ding Ruchang are fighting for a dusty woman, although they are ugly when they say it, but it also proves from the side that the rights of the Beiyang Navy Division are chaotic, and the subordinates don't regard the superiors as the same thing at all.

Such an army is a mess of internal fighting, how can it be possible to go out and win a battle?

The change of flag of the anti-Japanese army is to achieve in the navy in the future, that warships belong to the navy and to China, and are by no means personal belongings of the captains.

If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, get out.

Chen Shijie ordered the lecturers who boarded the ship to repeatedly instill a concept in the soldiers of the warship,—— the generals of the Beiyang Naval Division were corrupted and afraid of death to avoid war, and the emperor could no longer bear to let these wastes continue to be in charge of the Beiyang Naval Division.

In fact, this move of the anti-Japanese army was an expedient measure to uphold the will of the emperor, share the emperor's worries, and fight against the invasion of the East.

And this is also something that has been approved by the emperor's nod, the Qing Huaxia Navy is still the army of the Qing Dynasty!

For many things, you might as well give a wrong statement first, calm their minds, and then slowly guide the other party to the real right path.

Seeing these appeased soldiers, he was still shocked, but Chen Shijie was confident that if he was given a month, he would definitely be able to completely correct and shape this Huaxia Navy.

Let them be reborn and become the invincible armada that truly belongs to the garrison nation!

"——From today onwards, I, the Great Qing Huaxia Navy, will face the Great Qing Dragon Banner and the Chinese Navy Flag, cleave the waves, and surrender to the four seas: I firmly believe in this!"

On the dock playground, Chen Shijie shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief has an order!" ”

On the large playground, nearly 3,000 naval sergeants stood straight and silent.

"Colonel Yang Yonglin is appointed as the commander of the Huaxia Navy of the Qing Dynasty and the captain of the Dingyuan ship."

"Yes!"

Yang Yonglin, who had long been familiar with the military salute of the Anti-Japanese Army, strode forward, made a standard hand salute, and took the letter of appointment made by the Military Department Office and printed with the seal of Commander-in-Chief He Changying.

"Lieutenant Colonel Peng Qianyan is appointed as Chief of Staff of the Huaxia Navy of the Qing Dynasty."

"Yes!"

Peng Qianyan stood up excitedly, he had been the second in the staff department for 10,000 years, and he finally came out today; And how not to be happy with the first chief of staff of the Navy.

"Lieutenant General Majifen is appointed as the deputy captain of the Zhenyuan ship."

"Yes!"

Ma Jifen, a young man who graduated from the Annapolis Naval Academy, came to China unemployed in the United States and was extremely brave in the Battle of Dadonggou, was also excited at this time, and stood up with a roar.

——

Yongping Mansion, on the south bank of the Tang River Estuary.

After yesterday's misunderstanding, the people of Yongping Mansion had returned to the city, and Liu Mingyang strictly ordered to disturb the people, so not a single soldier crossed the Tang River and entered Yongping Mansion.

Near night, the wind swept across the fields, blowing the withered reeds and singing.

Crying near and far.

Among the armies of Shanhaiguan, in addition to the guest troops from other provinces, Lian Shun, Tang Renlian, Wu Fengzhu, Mei Dongyi, and Liu Kunyi also recruited two or three thousand training troops in the area of Yongping Mansion.

There are also more than 2,000 soldiers in Jinmen, Luanzhou, and Beizhili.

The two battalions of flag soldiers of Bai Ji, the guard of Shanhaiguan, except for dozens of people who followed Liu Kunyi and escaped the poisonous hands of the Japanese army, the rest were also killed in the wilderness.

As long as it is a family with a little conditions in Beizhili, the family has come to search in the fields and barren mountains between Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion, trying to find the bodies of their relatives.

Those who are fortunate enough to find them are all first overjoyed and then wailed with great sorrow.

These days, the jackals, tigers and leopards that originally only went out of the mountains to forage at night swaggered on the field during the day, one by one with blood-red eyes, and when they saw someone disturbing it to swallow, they bared out a mouth full of sharp teeth.

And those handmaidens in the mountains, when they saw the urine of the Japanese soldiers who were scared and cried and shouted for their mothers, they were more vicious than tigers and wolves to the people who came to look for relatives, and they kidnapped tickets and extorted money, all of which were used to the extreme.

There are a few slightly younger and more beautiful women looking for relatives, all of whom have been openly abducted and humiliated in the cottage.

Therefore, these people who were looking for relatives temporarily lived in Shanhaiguan City, South Wing City, and Yongping Mansion to avoid banditry.

Shanhaiguan and South Wing City were already an empty city at this time, and naturally no one managed them, but Yongping Mansion had a lot of surviving people.

These people were afraid that the strangers would offend the handmaidens in the mountains, so they sent young men to guard the city gate and did not allow outsiders to enter.

This place is still more than ten miles away from the South Wing City, so many people from other places who are looking for relatives see the anti-Japanese army coming, they camp around the camp, and hear intermittent cries from time to time.

"Paralysis, so many soldiers died, who died for, and the court didn't have a little number? It's chilling to watch, and don't blame those training soldiers for not fighting to the death! ”

Chang Yuqi, the commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment, jumped off his horse and sat down on Jia Rongchun's fire.

He scolded and said: "Fortunately, the military gate finally chose to join the army, otherwise there will be no one to take care of the old parents in the house after they die, and their own corpses will be fed to the beasts in the mountains sooner or later." ”

"Why don't you stay here at your station?"

Jia Rongchun's mood is also very bad now, and there is nothing good to say when he opens his mouth: "I'm so idle!" ”

"Hehe, let's discuss something, our brother——, don't rob me about this."

Chang Yuqi took out a cigarette with a smile and gave it to Jia Rongchun, who was confused.
