Chapter 169: Incheon, Shan Xiaoman
"Zixiang, do you think I don't want to fight?"
Ding Ruchang looked annoyed: "You guys are better, after all, I am in front of you!" The emperor repeatedly issued orders urging me, saying that I was 'afraid of the enemy', and the people of the court scolded me even more: 'You will take the boat to the ocean to patrol and meet the suppression, but you must advance and retreat with the camera, and it is appropriate to protect the strong ship, and you still hope to return quickly. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info 'This is a telegram from Zhongtang, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, what do you think I can do?' ”
"I wonder if the escorts will meet the fleet of the East when they go to Anton this time?"
Liu Buyun looked at the ocean for a long time before letting out a soft sigh.
Ding Ruchang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and in all fairness, with the current situation of the sailor, Ding Ruchang was unwilling to fight; But if there is no fight, what will the Chinese court think of itself and say about itself.
Is it possible that he wants to leave a stench in the history books of future generations for 10,000 years?
"If you really meet it, then let's fight; People die and birds are facing the sky, and the head is broken, but the scar is the size of the bowl, and the big deal is a death! ”
Ding Ruchang slapped the railing on the bridge viciously and shouted in a low voice.
"Squeak—"
The rotten bridge was swayed up and down by Ding Ruchang's slap, making a piercing sound.
"Whew-"
On the busiest route in North China, merchant ships from China Merchants, South Asia, the Western Ocean, and various countries passed by from time to time, and when they saw the huge fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division, they all pulled out a long whistle to salute.
Battleship Zhenyuan, bridge.
"This time I went to Dadonggou, alas-"
Standing on the bridge of the ship, blowing the mighty sea breeze, Lin Tai once sighed worriedly: "He Changying said last time in Anton, 'What the enemy wants to do most is often what you should not do. 'Such a simple truth, he is in his early twenties and understands it from the Wupin Co-organizer Garrison, but why don't the elders of the Emperor's Pavilion in the Qing Dynasty understand? ”
Yang Yonglin pursed his lips disdainfully.
Ever since he learned about this escort, Lin Taizeng has been sighing with a sad face every day, afraid of death and still being a fart soldier? Don't go home and pick up the baby!
"Did you mention the formation mentioned in Lin Lu's story with Ding Junmen?"
Yang Yonglin asked casually.
"Don't mention it, before I finished my words, Ding Junmen scolded me with a slashing head and covering his face; said that He Changying, a hairy boy who has never touched a warship in his life, understands the formation of a fart? Besides, what kind of 'one-word snake formation', where have you heard of such a strange formation in the Western countries, it is obviously He Changying's whimsical nonsense; ”
Although Lin Taizeng had a good impression of He Changying, as the so-called interlaced lines are like mountains, a small army battalion officer who has never stayed in the ocean and has never been on the warships of Western powers, is actually ashamed to talk about the formation of naval battles, which is a little too self-conscious.
Yang Yonglin nodded, Admiral Ding's statement is not an exaggeration.
This strange formation, I really didn't hear this kind of similar battle example from the foreign teacher in the Fujian Sailor School back then.
"But what he said seems to have a point."
The American Zhenyuan gang leader Magifen muttered to himself.
"What's the point? The caliber of the main guns of Zhenyuan and Dingyuan, the thickness of the deck, including the boiler power, are all world-class, and there is no problem with the quality of the Germans; ”
Yang Yonglin continued: "However, their shipbuilding technology is really not good, and there are too many design defects; Dingyuan, Zhenyuan's bow main gun can only fire directly, and the 'one-word serpentine array' cannot be used at all; otherwise, Zhongtang will choose to order the 'Zhiyuan' and 'Jingyuan' in the United Kingdom. ”
"In that case, why do you still mention this matter to Ding Junmen?"
Magiffen looked puzzled.
Lin Taizeng and Yang Yonglin glanced at each other, and their hearts beat to avoid each other's gazes.
"The procurement and imitation of Japanese warships are all British layouts, if I say, they use such a 'one-line serpentine formation' against us, what should we do?"
Lin Taizeng said faintly.
"Boom!"
A cannon salute sounded on the continent in front of them, which shook the three of them and shuddered, which was the cannon sound of the Dagu Fort.
Jinmen is already in sight.
North Korea, Port of Incheon.
"Woo-"
With the sound of the whistle, the entire Incheon port was lined with ships, and under the escort of the Japanese First Combined Fleet, the Japanese 3rd Division began to land.
"Huashan-kun, I always think that in the face of the weak Qing army, the imperial army will advance all the way, take Pyongyang, and then cross the Yalu River, Dalian, Lushun, Mukden, Jinmen, and finally occupy Beijing and completely defeat the Qing Dynasty."
Standing on the dock, Shan Youpeng said dissatisfiedly: "And what your navy has to do is to be a good mule driver and serve the Imperial Army!" Now, in order to compete for honor, your navy actually ignores the interests of the empire, but wants to fight a decisive battle with the Beiyang Naval Division. ”
The more you talk about it, the angrier you become, and you roar with your hands: "If you win, you are just icing on the cake, but if you lose, you are the sinners of the empire; All your navies have to be seppuku, thank the Emperor! ”
was sprayed by Yama County Youpeng's face of foaming stars, and the Japanese Navy Commander General Kayama Shikiki frowned quietly.
Then he quietly moved to the side.
This guy in Shan County is always self-righteous in his eyes, and almost everyone in the country is disgusted.
If it weren't for the fact that this time he wanted to order the combined fleet to go to the Liaodong Sea to search for the Qing fleet's decisive battle, Kayama Shiki would definitely not choose to go with this annoying guy in Shan County.
Vice Admiral Yuhiro Ito, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, turned his head to look at the scenery of Incheon Port.
This guy in Shanxian loves to be noisy and noisy, and he has learned martial arts, and if he doesn't win, he will go head-to-head; It's a well-known nonsense in the military circle, whoever gets involved is unlucky, and he should listen to his fart!
"General Yama Prefecture, General Kayama, General Ito, General Katsura Taro,—— this is Miss Yamayama, right?"
Keisuke Otori, the Oriental Minister to Korea, led a group of Oriental officials from the Consulate in Seoul.
Dressed in a traditional Oriental kimono, Shan Shan Xiaoman's beautiful and unbelievable thing not only attracted the Japanese soldiers who got off the ship to peek frequently, but also a few young men in the Seoul Consulate also stared at Shan Shan Xiaoman's fancy face with fire in their eyes.
"That's her!"
Yama Prefecture Youpeng saw that Keisuke Otori's face was not very good, and asked strangely, "What's the matter?" ”
"General, we received a telegram from China the day before yesterday from Guangzhou, an advance team of the Ninth Brigade encountered an ambush by the Qing army in Dongxian Ridge, Huangzhou County, and it is reported that 899 imperial soldiers were killed and 229 were captured, and the leader of the advance team, Ichigo Guard Shaozuo, was captured."
Keisuke Otori's words were like a bomb, blowing up everyone and changing color.
However, not only that, Keisuke Otori continued to say in a deep voice: "Just now we have received a telegram from China again, the Qing army has escorted all the prisoners to the Qing country, and they are going to carry out - sacrifice of prisoners!" ”
"Yaga!"
An old face of Youpeng in Shanxian County suddenly turned as red as a pig's liver, and the huge shame made him tremble and stagger.
"General!"
"Father!"
Shanxian Xiaoman hurriedly held his father's arm.
Yama Prefecture Youpeng pushed his daughter away heavily, and roared angrily: "Tsuno, this pig, Oshima, this stupid donkey, and that Shaozo who should be hanged alive!" How many people did the Qing army ambush the imperial army, and how much did they lose? Defeat Pyongyang, I will throw them all into the Taedong River to feed the fish! ”
