After declaring war on Britain, the whole world was shocked by this news.

Luo Yang did not have the time to deal with those things, and immediately instructed the troops everywhere, "Arrest all British in China, all arrests, regardless of their position and status, arrest immediately, not a single one can be omitted." ”

This is what the Chinese government is most concerned about after the declaration of war.

There was very little time for tension, and there was almost no sign of war, so the British personnel in China were hardly prepared, so they hit the muzzle of the gun.

The government of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom dispatched an elite army to search for the British throughout the country, first of all, the British merchants, Nima, are you not, yes, arrest immediately,

A large number of businessmen have been noticed and followed for a long time, and now, the situation is clear, as soon as a quasi-child is arrested, the businessman is arrested, and if the family is there, I'm sorry, the Chinese officials have food for you to eat, and as for all their goods, they have not been collected.

The Chinese government has made a fortune,

It is said that, because of the incentive of the Chinese government for British commerce, the power of British commerce in this period, greater than the pre-Qing era, completely monopolized the bulk trade in China, the Yangtze River valley is the most prosperous economic region in China, and now, and the British are almost the same, the Yangtze River is full of British merchant ships, passenger ships, everywhere can see the British who are happy to get rich, unfortunately, at this time, they are unlucky,

In three days, the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom uprooted all the British economic forces in China, arrested more than 1,700 businessmen and more than 2,800 family members, confiscated goods worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and expropriated hundreds of commercial freighters for the ownership of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom.

Here, I have to explain a situation, the battle on the Yangtze River,

Because according to the treaty, the warships of Britain or any country can sail freely in the treaty ports, so there are about eight British ships, hovering at the mouth of the Yangtze River, in the area of Wuhan, there are also six, in the Yangtze River, there are also four, in various parts of the Bohai Sea, there are some, but the Yangtze River to capture the enemy's warships is indeed the most exciting,

After the declaration of war here, over there, in the fortresses around Jiangyin, the squadron had already been controlled, and the cannons, twelve-pound flowering cannons, solid shells, etc., made in the Shanghai factory, were deployed here in large quantities, completely blocking the Yangtze River waterway, eight British battleships at the mouth of the Yangtze River, one battleship, the rest were all cruisers, or light, because these battleships mainly provided protection for British merchant ships, mainly to prevent pirate attacks, so, there was no need for too strong firepower, now, Most of them use a steam engine and sail hybrid, the battleship is completely steam power, the battleship has more than 5,300 tons, not big, it can be said that the British are indeed not prepared to fight against China, Luo Yang suddenly turned his face with the British, faster than turning the book, so that the British were caught off guard, on these fleets, the British ** officer did not know that the two countries had declared war, at this time, the telegraph, are all wired telegraphy, the invention of wireless telegraphy is the ability of the Italians, and it has not been done yet, so, The British battleships cruising at the mouth of the Yangtze River looked particularly calm and leisurely,

The huge Chinese naval formation, with four battleships and a dozen cruisers, came from the coastal zone to the north and immediately greeted the British naval fleet, in fact, they had been waiting there for a long time,

When the fleet approached, the Chinese fleet contacted with the flag, saying that it wanted to have a party with the British navy, and the commander of the Chinese North Sea Fleet, Peng Yulin, wanted to visit the British ship.

In fact, it's not Peng Yulin, because Peng himself is preparing for war in Tianjin, and there is someone else here to command.

The British agreed, before, nothing happened, the Chinese were too deferential,

The Chinese naval officers and sailors in small boats boarded the British warships one after another, and then had cordial and friendly exchanges with the British.

The British battleship, which is also the flagship of the small fleet here, is called the "Purple Stone Bell", and a 7,000-ton battleship of the Chinese Navy docked for a party, the British saw that kind of huge battleship, and their hearts were more or less unhappy, the strength of the Chinese Navy is developing rapidly.

"Please." The British ** officer also asked the troops to line up to welcome it, and it was playing music, which was very serious.

The officers and men of the Chinese Navy are also very serious, as soon as they go to the deck, they will organize their teams, and they will also bring a large number of gifts to dedicate to them.

Eight warships, not all of them are concentrated, there are six of them here, and all Chinese Navy officers and sailors have boarded the ship for a party.

The Chinese are too enthusiastic, make a lot of exquisite food, world cuisine in China, accustomed to butter bread, messy things of the British of course know the charm of Chinese food, suddenly lost a lot of tonnage of saliva,

Wine and food, and people who claim to be female soldiers of the Chinese Navy came to dance, envying a British naval sailor, and the little brother is looking up to the sky.

In the process of the party, suddenly, the squadron was in trouble and aimed its weapons at the British, and the British Navy, who was drinking happily, thought it was a joke.

The sound of three pistols announced the beginning of the battle, and the battle on the Purple Stone Bell began first, and the rest of the battleships also moved to control the unsuspecting British army.

The British army was very shocked, and after waking up, they were very angry, and they reprimanded the ** people for not preaching morality.

"We reason with you, you play hooligan with us, we play hooligan with you, but you still have to reason with us, I'm next to it, who are you."

The triumphant lieutenant ** officer doesn't care at all, anyway, everyone knows that the British use opium to poison the Chinese, you are smuggling, people fight smuggling, you use force, Nima, you kid is tired and crooked,

The battle was very successful, and almost without bloodshed, all the sailors on the six British warships were controlled, and then, they were driven off the warships, escorted to prison, and all the warships were taken over, and they joined the sequence of the Chinese Navy.

The other two British ** ships were protecting several merchant ships to advance, and suddenly, two Chinese battleships with four heavy cruisers surrounded them, surrounded them, and the muzzles of the cannons pointed at the British ** ships.

Of course, the British ** ships panicked, their tonnage, one is more than 1,800 tons, and the other is 2,200 tons, which is not as good as the tonnage of a Chinese battleship, if you look at the firepower of the battle, of course, it is also very poor,

Not a battle, but an inspection, the Chinese Navy claimed that it had received an order from the British government to intercept this batch of British ** ships and merchant ships, because there were several wanted criminals who might be hiding in it,

The British ** officer refused at first and felt particularly amused, but in the case of an ultimatum, he sensibly accepted the "examination." ”

As soon as the officers and men of the Chinese Navy boarded the ship, they arrested the British ** officer,
