At night, the cruiser Musashi, carrying the new commander of the 11th Reinforced Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, Rear Admiral Yasumi Oji, was heading for the port of Incheon when he saw the lights of a huge fleet coming from the south from a distance.

"Baga, the Qing army fleet is really all dispatched! Yaga, these bastards of the military department! ”

At this moment, the captain of the Musashi, Tsuchiya Bei Shaosa, with a pale face, hurriedly ordered this cruiser with a displacement of 1,500 tons, a maximum speed of 13.5 knots, and only 7 old guns on board, to speed up and move towards the east.

While scolding angrily.

"Military Gate, the chimney flame of an unknown ship has been found four nautical miles to the east."

A lookout stood on top of the watchtower, shivering from the cold and shouting.

"Just one?"

Liu Buyun's heart jumped when he heard this, and he raised his head and asked loudly.

The lookout above confirmed: "There is only one chimney, and it is one." ”

"At this time, how can there be ships sailing here?"

Liu Buyun lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was better for the fleet to hurry into Lushun, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

He ordered loudly: "Continue to observe, the warship maintains its speed and continues to move forward." ”

"The ship is gone, the ship is gone!"

"Blessed by the god of sunshine!"

"It's time to spend a good year in Incheon!"

A group of terrified Japanese navy saw that in the night, the terrifying group of ships was gradually moving away, and they shouted excitedly.

Even Oji Yasumun, who had been standing nervously on the bridge and secretly complaining, secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat.

If the Qing ship insisted on pursuing, pointing at Musashi's speed and seven guns, it would definitely not be able to escape the sad fate of being sunk into the sea.

What Liu Buyun didn't know was that because of his hesitation, he lost the glory of sinking the first big ship of the Japanese army, and the honor of killing a Japanese rear general was also missed by him.

"Baga, you cowards, cowards, you should all jump into the sea to feed the fish!"

Tsuchiya Guard, who was also suddenly relaxed in his heart, suddenly felt deeply humiliated, especially when a major general of the Imperial Army was still standing on the bridge.

The Tsuchiya guard was furious, blushing and scolding, and rushed over to catch the soldiers on the deck, just kicking him hard to calm his still 'dong' heart.

The intersection of the Beiyang Naval Division and the Japanese ship Musashi, 700 miles northeast, on the ocean surface of Dadonggou.

A French merchant ship, anchored and ceased fire, quietly anchored near the coast of Dashishima South Independence Tuozi.

In the night, a small sampan carrying Chen Xiangbei and seven members of the action team was slowly rowing towards the frozen mouth of the ocean river at the twenty-mile coastline.

In Gushan Town, 20 miles north of the mouth of the Dayang River, there were more than 60 Japanese troops stationed in a Japanese army.

Chen Xiangbei's task was to wait until the anti-Japanese army he didn't know captured Dagu Mountain, get in touch with them, and unload a ship full of munitions, machinery, and all kinds of supplies.

At this time, a battalion of the eastward cavalry regiment of the anti-Japanese army was already in the night, quietly besieging Gushan Town, waiting for dawn to annihilate this group of Japanese troops without missing a net.

When it was late at night in Dagu Mountain, although Shanhaiguan had a time difference of nearly an hour, it was already the dead of night.

After a day of noise, the will of the imperial court was also clearly transmitted, although the will of the inside and outside of the pass to be divided into two to perform their duties made people feel a little child's play incredible, but it was indeed a good way to calm the dispute.

The implicit meaning of Guangxu's will is obvious, the great enemy must not have internal friction at present, and all rights and wrongs will be discussed after the war.

No matter how unwilling Liu Kunyi is, at least he has to stop now and arrange his Great Wall defense line well.

He Changying, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, and the three of them sat in Li Jingfang's room to celebrate him.

Alcohol was forbidden in the army, and the four of them had to drink tea, but fortunately, the tea brought by Li Jingfang was really good, and the mouth was full of relish, which made people feel aftertaste.

"The imperial court is determined to negotiate peace; Alas—"

Li Jingfang's face did not have the slightest joy of 'receiving the grace of God', because this was just the 'fruit' that Lafayette invited his father to go out of the mountain.

"Last time, it was the emperor who issued an order, and my father could excuse himself with illness, but this time Lafayette issued an edict, and he just said that he was going to Beijing to talk, although the matter was obvious, but it was beyond push."

Li Jingfang's heart was full of flames.

In the case of Jinmen that year, the imperial court just played tricks and forcibly appointed Zeng Guofan as the governor of Zhili, forcing Zeng Guofan to deal with it.

As a result, Zeng Guofan carried the black pot for the imperial court, and was pointed out by thousands of people, scolded by the government and the opposition, and ruined his reputation for a lifetime.

Then, only a year later, Zeng Guofan died of depression.

Now, once the Qing-Japanese War is negotiated, the impact will be thousands of times greater than the Jinmen case 24 years ago, and if my father gets on the ship, he will inevitably end up with a whole country cursing and leaving a stench for thousands of years.

How can it not hurt?

Can Ann not be angry?

"You told Zhongtang that you met the foreigners, and tried to tell as much as possible about the brutality of the Japanese army; Jinzhou massacre, Huayuankou to Jinzhou, Yingkou to Shanhaiguan, the corpses of the Qing people on this road paved the way; If the Japanese army entered the customs, it would definitely commit countless heinous beastly acts. ”

Seeing that Li Jingfang was a little puzzled, He Changying said in a deep voice: "This matter, in today's fast horse, I also carefully explained it to the emperor; Foreigners are actually the most shameless and have a lot of evil deeds, but they like to use the banner of 'civilization' to suppress and restrain others to show their most face. ”

He Changying saw Li Jingfang and the three of them looking incredible, smiled slightly, looked at the small moon hanging on the branches of the jujube tree outside the door, and suddenly realized that today was the twenty-first day of the lunar month.

The day after tomorrow is the New Year.

Time flies so fast, most of the year has passed in a blink of an eye.

Time flies so slowly, and there are at least ninety-nine years left before that time.

"Now this situation, pointing to us and Liu Kunyi, the first Xiongguan in the world in Shanhaiguan, is destined to be a joke; If it goes well, the West will prevent the Japanese army from attacking Jinmen and Jingshi, because Jinmen has a lot of interests for the great powers, and an unstable China is also what they do not want to see. ”

felt that Li Jingfang and the three of them seemed to be difficult to digest, and it was even more difficult to agree with their own views, and He Changying did not plan to elaborate.

just nodded again: "Then, it depends on what Meiji and Ito Hirobumi think, and the Hiroshima base camp can't be tied to the mad dog of Aritomo in Yamaguchi." ”

"Once the pass is broken, I mean if the Japanese army bypasses our three cities, what will we do once the pass is broken?"

Xu Bangdao fought a defensive battle with the Japanese army in Jinzhou and Lianshun, and he understood very well the Japanese army's style of playing 'avoiding its strengths and attacking its weaknesses'.

In the Jinzhou defense line, Dashanyan chose to bypass the Jinzhou Avenue of his heavy defense, but chose to attack Zhou Dingchen's troops from Fuzhou Avenue, making himself suffer from the enemy and had to withdraw to Jinzhou in embarrassment.

Now the three cities outside the Guanwai are in a triangular formation, and a chest wall has been built between them, so if the Japanese army wants to capture it, it is obvious that they will have to pay huge casualties.

However, if you choose to attack the eastern slope of Jiaoshan or the line of Huanxi Ridge, then the tall Great Wall is simply not a problem for modern blasting technology.

"Once the pass is broken, the back road of our three cities will definitely be blocked by the Japanese army, and to the north is the reckless mountains and forests, is it possible for us to break out, and then exchange positions with the Japanese army, and re-attack the Shanhaiguan or the three cities outside the pass?"

He Changying's face showed a trace of resolute ruthlessness, and said softly: "Only to defend it!" ”
