"Li Hongzhang temporarily retained his post to supervise the affairs of southern Liaoning and the sailor; Immediately and properly handle the Dalian arms matter, and never fall into the hands of the enemy! ”

Emperor Guangxu's voice was full of anger and unwillingness, why did this old thing stick to his body like kraft candy, and he couldn't get rid of it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Sun Yuwen and Xu Yongyi shouted long live.

Summer palace.

After a scenic parade all the way, Cixi, who finally came to the Summer Palace, listened to the report of the eunuchs below in a nap before the night banquet, and showed a smile of satisfaction.

As long as you, Lao Li, are a loyal dog and guard the country and society for the Qing Dynasty, the court will always remember your merits.

Even if you are old soon, you will let you return to your hometown in beautiful clothes, right?

"Whew-"

Outside Dalian Bay, the clouds are deserted, the hurricane sweeps across the long coastline, and the sea water along the line is wrapped in the hurricane and crashes on the reef along the coast, blooming hundreds of millions of white waves one after another.

In the near noon, there was a sudden storm and clouds in the sky over southern Liaoning, and a large area of dark clouds swooped down from above Siberia, like an overwhelming momentum.

Dalian Bay Estuary, Oriental Combined Fleet Ship Group.

In the vast sea, the fleet is like a flock of leaves floating on the turbulent waters, staggering forward in the wind and waves.

Flagship Hashidate.

The bow of the ship sometimes jumped high and sometimes fell sharply in the waves.

Ito stood on top of the Cambridge on the Hashidate, holding the railing with both hands, holding his body firmly, looking at Dalian Bay not far to the north.

Because there was no map of the mine distribution of the Qing army in Dalian Bay, the Combined Fleet looked at Dalian Bay, which was close at hand, and did not dare to enter to avoid the wind and waves.

"Ordered the fleet to take shelter from the wind and waves on the large and small mountain islands outside the mouth of the bay, and did not order any ships not to enter Dalian Bay without permission."

Ito Yuheng loudly ordered the staff officers around him: "This storm will not last long, wait for the wind to settle down, and then bombard Dalian Bay!" ”

Three nautical miles of Dalian Bay, Lao Wo Tsui.

"Report, fleet, fleet of our empire!"

In the wind and waves, three small fishing boats responsible for going to sea to find the combined fleet, in the majesty of nature, were desperately rowing to dock, at this time the soldier Okumura Hanji, who had never been very bright, suddenly pointed to the direction of the mouth of Dalian Bay, and shouted in surprise and joy.

Suddenly, the seven or eight Japanese soldiers on the ship, including the soldier Cao Mizuhara Yoshishige who led the team, all changed their faces.

"Yo Xi, your eyes are very good;"

Mizuhara Yoshishige glared at Okumura Hanji with bloody eyes, praised it greatly, and then shouted angrily: "Immediately turn around and go to the mouth of the bay and tell the other two ships to follow up!" ”

"Captain, with such a big wave, our small fishing boat will capsize at any time?"

When Okumura Hanji heard this, his face immediately turned white.

"All for the sake of the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Mizuhara Yoshihiro listened to Okumura's innocent language, and his heart almost suffocated into internal wounds, while the soldiers next to him looked at Okumura Banerten, all with a look of resentment.

"Huh?"

Okumura's face suddenly turned pale at this time, and at this time, he realized what he was wrong.

About 20 minutes later, three small fishing boats capsized, and all 28 Japanese soldiers lost their lives in the sea.

"It's a great wind; But don't let it snow! ”

In the highlands of Chuangjialou, Yamachi Genji stood in the biting cold wind wrapped in a military coat, his face full of worry.

His Second Army came to southern Liaoning in a hurry, and at least a quarter of the soldiers were still in autumn clothes, and there were no cotton jackets to keep out the cold.

Moreover, the cotton shoes issued by the military department are of poor quality and have no breathability, and often the inside of the shoes will be soaked with sweat during a day's march or big battle.

"Commander, let the soldiers go to the nearby mountains and cut down trees to make firewood; I stayed in Liaodong for a while, and as soon as the wind stopped, it was a heavy snowfall. ”

The words of the chief of intelligence of the Second Army next to him, Mitsutomi Kamio, made Yamachi Motoji's heart skip a beat.

On the opposite side of the Qing army's position, the Qing army was erecting door panels and stone bricks as shelters everywhere, and they had a headache when they looked at the mountain Yuanzhi.

If it is really a heavy snowfall, this Golden State battle may have to be postponed.

"These hateful pigs, if the Imperial Army occupies Jinzhou City, all this will be different!"

Nogi Noshinori looked at the busy Qing army outside Jinzhou City with burning eyes, and scolded angrily.

"These Qing troops fought tenaciously, and they seemed to have sufficient troops, and they occupied favorable terrain; Commander, I suggest that it is not advisable to act rashly now, when a large number of artillery from the military headquarters arrives, under the fierce fire of the Empire, the Qing defense line will be shattered into powder by the Imperial artillery! ”

Seeing the expression of Motoji of the mountains, Oji Yasumi knew that he wanted to go on a military adventure, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and persuaded bluntly: "The victory of the empire is only a matter of time now; However, the reinforcement army is cunning and changeable, and if the first division loses largely, it will bring a very uncertain direction to the future war of the empire! ”

Oji Yasujun's words were very unpleasant, but it was the truth, listening to his words, Yamachi Motoji gritted his teeth and stood in the cold wind for a long time before ordering: "Nogi, the first wing of your department will take a detour to Fuzhou Avenue to set up defenses, and the position of the first wing of your department will be on guard at all times, and you must always be on guard against the Qing army opposite." ”

"Hey!"

Nogi Noshinori and Nishikanjiro responded at the same time.

"Send troops up the hill to chop wood, and carry out a thorough sweep of all the nearby villages, quilts, grain, dry firewood, - take all the supplies needed for the empire!"

Yamachi Yuanzhi's face showed a fierce light, and he said viciously: "If there is resistance, it will not matter if you kill!" ”

"It's a great wind; Stop and let's make the next big snowfall! ”

He Changying led a group of staff officers to stand on the high ground of Taishan, looking at the gloomy sky with a longing expression.

"According to my many years of experience in Liaodong, there is no heavy snow when this wind does not stop, but as soon as this wind stops, it is a heavy snowfall."

Song Xi, the newly appointed Dalian Hall General Judge, was blown by the cold wind and shivered, but he made a Kong Ming appearance: "With this timely snow, don't freeze to death these beasts!" ”

The generals next to him didn't want to pay attention to this guy when they heard this, such heavy clouds, such a cold day, as long as the wind can stop, everyone knows that it will snow heavily.

Now the key question is, can this wind stop?

A fast horse came and quickly ascended the hillside, and John jumped off his horse.

In North Korea and Liaodong, after more than two months of wind and rain, John, a foreign devil, has become black and thin, but the water has come out, and the fat on his body has disappeared, revealing a capable and refined body.

"Commander-in-chief, the photos are all washed out."

John, who hadn't closed his eyes since last night, was bloodshot all over his eyes, but there were tears in his eyes, full of grief and indignation.

All the generals were nervous, looking at the thick stack of photographs in John's hand.

He Changying took it silently and looked at them one by one, her face gloomy and thicker than the clouds in the sky.

He divided the photo into several parts and handed it to the officers around him, as well as Song Xi and Jiang Zikang.

"These brutes!"

Although they had seen the tragic situation in reality before, when the photos were taken out, the generals couldn't help but scold with cracked teeth.

"John, write an address book and send it to the major Western media; The photos were immediately sent to Jinmen, so that the old men of the imperial court could take a good look, and also let the people, as well as the ambassadors of various countries who claimed to be the gods of justice, take a good look. ”

He Changying's voice was colder than the cold wind in the cold winter of Liaodong: "Blood debt can only be paid with blood!" ”
