Xuan Da Niu is only the first deputy commander of the navy, there are a total of four deputy commanders, as well as the trainee captains of various warships, all of whom are officers of the Huacui Party, and the competition is very fierce, this is not because of President Meng's cronies, you can stand in the position, in fact, every Huacui Party officer is very loyal to President Meng.

In fact, Xuan Daniu did not have a long time in the navy, and Xuan Daniu had been between Tianjin and Beijing, busy with the affairs of Klinsmann's foreign company, and was helping Timothy Lee.

But after President Meng arrived in Tianjin last time, Xuan Daniu offered to follow President Meng, and was arranged to the Navy, when the Chinese Navy only had the earliest shipside artillery ironclad ship, and now it has been sent back to Danzhou as a coach ship of the Naval Branch of Hongpu Military Academy.

President Meng is still very young, Xuan Daniu is still very young, and the Huaguo Navy is also very young, this is an army that has only been in the army for two years, and it is one year younger than the Huaguo Army.

Saigo saw that the main battery had been blown up and shouted, "Fire!" Hurry up! ”

The 33 warships of the Chinese Navy opened fire together, and the firepower was overwhelming, and the Japanese were so dizzy that they could not organize a counterattack at all.

It was not until a Japanese warship was sunk that the Japanese recovered their strength and lost more than half of their combat effectiveness.

The fleets of both sides engaged in a fierce battle of imparity.

It should be said that it has always been the Chinese Navy that is beating the Japanese Navy.

The scale of this naval battle is not small, but the tactical level is still in the primitive stage, and the two sides basically shoot at each other on piles, just to see who has strong firepower and who fights accurately.

Thirty-three warships, against the seven warships of the Japanese (one has already been sunk), the Chinese army has almost no pressure, it is like a target shooting competition.

"Naval battles, it seems easy, huh? Much better than land battles, and the pressure is not so great. Princess Katrina Kafu laughed. She finally relaxed.

President Meng smiled, and fought for half an hour, only one frigate of the Chinese army smoked, sent a signal, and the injury was not serious, but President Meng still let the frigate stand aside, this is not enough, otherwise, the frigate would not be able to participate in the naval battle. "This kind of is not a real naval battle, sooner or later, one day, I will fight the British fleet and the French fleet to show you, or the Russian fleet, then it is called a naval battle!"

Of the eight warships of the Japanese, the "Longxiang" ironclad ship and the "Yunyang", the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the famous wooden-hulled steam engine ship "Yunyang" were left at this time!

The remaining six Japanese warships, all sunk!

President Meng was completely speechless, the Japanese are this kind of strength, but they have repeatedly taken advantage of China, I don't know how China has been mixed up for decades?

"President, the Japanese are completely defeated!" Princess Katrina Kafu couldn't help but snort softly.

President Meng smiled slightly, "We have more than five times the firepower of others, what's so strange about this?" ”

Thirty-three warships were violently launched at the ironclad ship "Ryuchia," the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the "Yunyang," a wooden-hulled steam engine ship that was famous in history.

Saigo Congdao was covered in blood, and the officers around him were almost dead, but he didn't die, and his vitality can be called tenacious.

"Let the Yunyang withstand! We retreated to shore and abandoned ship and landed! Saigo shouted from the road to the bottom of the conning tower.

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" The Japanese have no fighting spirit anymore, and if they don't escape, they will definitely be wiped out!

The ironclad ship "Ryuchamp", the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, began to retreat and landed.

As soon as Saigo stepped on land, the Yunyang was sunk by the Chinese army, and the Japanese naval fleet was completely wiped out in this battle.

The Chinese captured the remaining five Japanese transports that were parked on the shore.

Saigo fled frantically with more than 2,000 troops from Congdao and fled in the direction of Checheng.

Contrary to the common impression, the samurai clan was not a static brain, but only knew how to use swords, and the Satsuma clan that had fallen behind the curtain had a high degree of westernization, and Saigo Takamori advocated that "guns and swords should be used as the mainstay", so it was important to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the samurai group and acquire new weapons.

The shogunate and the daimyo of the previous feudal domains produced or imported a large number of guns, ranging from old arquebuses to the latest foreign guns, totaling millions.

After the end of the American Civil War, one-fifth of the more than 600,000 retired Enfield guns were sold cheaply to Japan.

After the Restoration, the Japanese government was unable to produce advanced standard rifles, and had no money to import new guns on a large scale, so it selected four foreign guns from the original inventory as standard weapons, namely the British Enfield, which was a British product in 1853, or a breech charge, and its performance was relatively backward in all aspects.

In addition, there is the improved Schneider in Enfield, the French Charspo, and the German Dresser.

The Japanese government army used Schneider partly and Enfield partly.

As for Chaspo and Dresser, they were the main guns of both sides during the Franco-Prussian War, which were more advanced, but their numbers were limited and they were only equipped with the Guards Brigade.

In terms of artillery, it was mainly a four-pound mountain cannon made in France, and it was used by the Shogunate Army and the Shogunate Army during the Boshin War.

This is a lightweight field gun, with a total weight of no more than 218 kg, which can be quickly towed by horses, with a caliber of 86.5mm and a firing range of 2500m, which is the main equipment of the army.

After the Franco-Prussian War, the Japanese government was keenly aware of the superiority of German artillery, and specially imported a batch of new Krupp 70mm and 80mm field guns, which were specially allocated to the Guards Brigade.

Saigo Takamori wanted to transfer the guns of the government army to the samurai army, but this touched the bottom line of the government, and Iwakura Gushi, Okuma Shigenobu, Sanjo Minoru and other veteran ministers inherited the legacy of Okubo Ritsu and resolutely opposed the country being controlled by the samurai group, and even Kido Takayoshi joined with illness, especially with the support of the army Kiyama Prefecture Aritomo.

After a heated dispute, the emperor finally intervened, and the two sides reached a compromise.

The Samurai Legion had access to twenty thousand Enfield guns, as well as a batch of Burke and Brown Bess flintlock pistols; The artillery is a small number of French-made four-pound mountain guns, as well as a batch of domestic iron cannons in stock.

Most of these iron cannons were front-loading smoothbore guns made by the shogunate and feudal domains before the Restoration, and their power and range were not comparable to those of imported artillery.

In addition to the remaining 2,000 or nearly 3,000 army forces in Taiwan, Saigo Takamori also has a follow-up force of more than 40,000 troops on the Japanese mainland, which is on standby in Kagoshima.

After President Meng captured five Japanese transport ships and the ironclad ship "Longxiang", the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, he let the fleet rest in Hengchun, and with Hengchun as a base, he sent Xuan Jianzhang to lead the Hongpu Military Academy Teaching Brigade to continue to pursue the Japanese.
