After half a day of bombardment, the Hulishan Fort, the Panshi Fort and the White Stone Fort were all broken by the Beiyang Navy, or dumb and none of them could continue to be used, even if Yangshuzhuang transferred a lot of army artillery, it was completely unable to parry the bombardment of the Beiyang Navy, the only thing that could cause losses to the Beiyang Navy was the fleet strength of the Protector Navy, but unfortunately although there were strong ships and huge guns like the Haiqi Ship, other ships were weak and could not cooperate with the Haiqi Ship to form combat power, and although the Beiyang Navy did not have a fleet as powerful as the Haiqi Ship, However, the overall naval strength greatly exceeded that of the Protector Navy, and after the two armies started the war for more than an hour, they formed an overwhelming force, and almost formed an encirclement fortification against the Protector Navy.

The captain of the fleet branch looked gloomily at the roaring artillery fire on the sea, his face was a little gloomy, and said: "Let's wait for the shore in Hailong successfully, the strong strength of more than three divisions will definitely make Chang Zhenbang die without a place to be buried, this is the glory of the army, but our navy's main fleet is still here and Sa Zhen Bing lined up, eating fruits, saying that it is a war, it is better to say that it is acting." ”

The revolutionary party on the side said: "What the branch elder said is that I think this Lin Baoyi is suspected of being a showman." ”

At this time, another revolutionary party ran over in a panic and said angrily in front of the branch commander: "The commander of the landing fleet has surrendered to the enemy!" ”

The branch chief's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said unhappily: "It's not just a betrayal, it's just a traitor, these shells are the hard work of Mr. Zhongshan and those friends in Dongying, how can he be so showy?" ”

The revolutionary party said: "I think the branch chief, let's just ......" said and made a strange gesture, the detachment leader nodded, and said: "Originally, for the sake of Lin Baoyi's speculative revolution, this official gave him this opportunity, who knew that he was just an opportunist after all, it's just that the official was soft-hearted for a while, and he had to waste so much ammunition, and he notified the brothers to start acting in five minutes!" For the revolution, for the sake of the sir! ”

Lin Baoyi cautiously looked at the sea, the waves formed by the Haiqi ship as countless times the cannonballs rose and fell, even the strong ships and sharp guns like the Haiqi ship could not maintain stability in the angry sea, the huge hull gradually began to jolt unscrupulously, the first mate and the second officer performed their duties and operated cautiously, trying to maintain the stable operation of the Haiqi ship.

"Commander, the Sea Dragon landing has been successful, but those landing ships and transport ships have been besieged by the Beiyang Navy to varying degrees on the way home, and in order to maintain their naval strength, they have all surrendered under the leadership of the fleet commander! Tell the brothers that if the ship is more than forty percent injured, it is allowed to surrender! ”

"I don't allow it! We are the fleet of revolutionaries, so what if we are completely destroyed? This battle will fight the dignity of our Protector Navy! Fight the majesty of my Protector Navy! The captain of the fleet branch roared menacingly.

Lin Baoyi glanced at him coldly and said, "Any ship here is simply more than one million, and your Mr. Zhongshan only gives Lao Tzu 400,000 oceans for the opening fee!" Not even the lowest level of transports. ”

The captain of the fleet branch said: "Mr. Zhongshan, a piece of the ocean is enough for the top of the upper section of Qirui's millions of oceans, not to mention that Mr. also gave you 400,000, what if you destroy these ships?" ”

Lin Baoyi said: "The fleet is state, and the factions are private, how can they ignore the interests of the country for the sake of private power!" ”

The captain of the fleet branch said lightly: "A country without Mr. Zhongshan cannot be called a country!" You should understand this! ”

Lin Baoyi said: "This country has been 5,000 years old, and there are only ...... monkeys."

Before Lin Baoyi finished speaking, the captain of the fleet branch took out his gun, and with a bang, hit Lin Baoyi's chest, Lin Baoyi fell to the ground on the spot, and the horses called the commander to rush over, and the revolutionaries behind the captain of the fleet branch took out their guns to shoot these horses one by one, of course, these horses also rose up to resist, but after all, they were outnumbered and fell down one after another, and the captain's room was a pool of blood, and the captain of the fleet immediately took over the captain's room, and sent the revolutionary rise and fall to each ship.

After receiving the telegram, the captains of the various fleets were shocked, this is just a disagreement on government affairs, is it necessary to achieve this extent? It was the First Sino-Japanese War, until the captains of the various pipe bands were desperate and even martyred, and they did not ask all the naval personnel to be martyred together, this kind of tactic of burning jade and stones was simply incredible in their eyes.

The gunshots from the captain's room aroused the alarm of the surrounding rooms, and the commanders of each room immediately blocked the gate, and at the same time sent personnel to investigate the captain's room.

Just when the captains and captains of the ships were taken aback when they received the telegram, the revolutionaries on the ships also took up arms and began to fight for the ships, and their calculations were very good, and after taking over the fleet, if they won the battle, they would all be happy. If you can't win the war, then you can drive a ship to Hong Kong, or Dongying, and give it to Dongying's friends in exchange for millions of revolutionary funds, and the 400,000 yuan paid by Mr. Zhongshan must be 100% worthwhile, of course, this plan has also been understood and supported by Mr. Zhongshan in advance.

"What's going on!"

"Those people in Kunming have launched a rebellion!"

"Destroy them!"

……

The counterinsurgency battle took place on various ships, but it didn't take long for the rebellion to be extinguished by the navy, and even the captains who were committed to the revolution were also shocked by the madness of the revolutionaries. The war is even more flailing.

Sa Zhenbing also saw the subtle weirdness of the Protector Navy, and after thinking for a moment, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, and he immediately waved his hand and the flotilla immediately attacked. With his order, the ships in the Beiyang are like a strict killing machine but turned, the Protector Fleet immediately became vulnerable, and they were shot, in this case, the seriously injured fleet immediately raised the white flag and surrendered one after another, only the Haiqi ship because it was the base camp of the revolutionary branch chief, and the number of people was overwhelming, so it was able to successfully take over the Haiqi ship, but these laymen's numerical superiority could not make up for the low technical level of the navy, and they saw that the surrounding fleets surrendered one after another. The branch commander simply gave the news of leaving the battlefield and returning to Hong Kong, and the officers and men of the lower ranks of the navy had to submit to the knife of the revolutionary, but the speed of the ship could not reach full speed under the butcher's knife of the revolutionary, and was finally caught up by the Beiyang Navy. Who knew that as soon as these naval officers and men heard that the Beiyang Navy was coming, they couldn't help but cheer in their hearts, originally the entire Chinese navy was Fujian people, and Fujian was only a few cities, and the relationship between them was by no means predictable to outsiders.

When they took up their arms, they immediately turned around and took bloody revenge on the revolutionaries, and the captain of the fleet was taken aback, and immediately jumped out of the small boat that had been prepared and rowed in the direction of Hong Kong, only to be crushed by a cannon shot by one of the Haiqi ships.

After packing up everything, there were no ten officers and men on the Haiqi ship, for their surrender, Sa Zhenbing gladly accepted, the general's eyes did not have the slightest contempt but a feeling of mother's distress for the child, seeing the general's eyes, the officers and men of the Protector Navy all burst into tears. In order to show his trust in the Protector Navy, Sa Zhenbing personally served as the captain of the Haiqi Ship, adding many officers and men, but not transferring a single manpower from the original fleet, which won the respect of many admirals and officers.

The navy was united again, and the power was shaken, Yang Shuzhuang heard that the Protector Navy was subsumed into the Beiyang Navy, and immediately sighed, while erecting a white flag on the rock fort, while informing Xu Chongzhi that Li Yaohan and others had decided to surrender and sacrifice the city, Xu Chongzhi was taken aback when he heard it, and then he also understood each other's situation, after all, without the support of the army and navy, Xiamen could not withstand the army outside the city that Chang Zhenbang was eyeing at him, and surrender was undoubtedly the best way out.

Yang Shuzhuang sighed and said: "The navy has failed, the army has failed, the loss of Xiamen is a foregone conclusion, the Xiamen naval authorities have decided to surrender, I hope you will understand." ”

Li Yaohan roared angrily: "Although the navy has failed, there are still a lot of troops in Xiamen City, and we can hold Xiamen." ”

Li Chongyin said: "My brigade is no longer two out of ten. ”

Xu Chongzhi said: "The new Second Division has been wiped out, and only one battalion remains. What about you, Lao Li? ”

Li Yaohan was sad and relieved when he heard this, sighed, and said, "The Zhao army now only has two and a half regiments of troops. ”

Xu Chongzhi sighed and said: "Now, it is no longer feasible to defend Xiamen, and for the sake of our brothers, we can only open the city and surrender." ”

Li Yaohan glared at him and said, "Brothers can surrender, what should we do?" Zang Zhiping's third division defeated Lu Yongxiang in three battles and three victories in Quanzhou. It only takes one day for Quanzhou to arrive in Xiamen, as long as we insist on the arrival of Zang Zhiping, it is not impossible to hold Xiamen! ”

Yang Shuzhuang sighed and said: "Chang Zhenbang's army entered Xiamen from the port through the navy, how can Xiamen be defended?" ”

"You! It's kind of good! Li Yaohan said angrily: "Is it good to have a good belief!" Just surrendered like this, how can you be worthy of so many brothers who died! ”

Xu Chongzhi stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Li, your revolutionary spirit is commendable, but what Brother Yang said is not unreasonable. Without the navy, Xiamen is indeed difficult to defend. I will not stop Brother Yang from surrendering, but I will not be able to do so until our army brothers withdraw from Xiamen. I wonder if Brother Yang can help my brother for this last time? ”

Yang Shuzhuang thought for a while and said: "What did the commander-in-chief say, this is a matter within Yang Shuzhuang's responsibility, don't dare to help!" ”

After everyone discussed, Yang Shuzhuang sent his cronies to Chang Zhenbang to discuss the surrender of the city, but quietly let people open the north gate of Xiamen City, Xu Chongzhi and others led the crowd out of the north gate of Xiamen City, and went straight to Quanzhou, but Li Chongyin chose to stay in Xiamen, Xu Chongzhi said: "Brother Li Let's go together, Fujian Bafu, we occupy five of the eight, and the comeback is just around the corner!" ”

Li Chongyin said: "Chongyin can't defend Xiamen for the governor, it's also a sin, now Lord Yang chooses to surrender for his brothers, but no one in the army is there, if Chang Zhenbang is suspicious, won't the navy brothers suffer a big loss?" Therefore, Chongyin chose to stay here, fortunately, Chongyin did not have many troops in his hands, and it would not spoil the major affairs of the commander-in-chief and the metropolitan governor. ”

Li Yaohan sneered: "That's really good, although Chang Zhenbang is tolerant, but he is really cold-blooded to the people who betrayed him, Li Chongyin, you only have a dead end if you stay here, put away your little caution, and go with you!" ”

Li Chongyin's face turned pale for a while, but he didn't say anything, but the brothers around him were eyeing each other one by one, and if they didn't agree with each other, they would kill Li Yaohan. Xu Chongzhi sighed and said: "They are all their own brothers, so noisy, wouldn't it make outsiders see the joke, Li Dujun, everyone has their own ambitions, you can't force it, since Brother Chongyin has chosen this path, we can't say anything." Let's go! Li Yaohan waved his hand again, turned around and left with his brothers

Xu Chongzhi also turned to Li Chongyin and walked away, Li Chongyin sighed regretfully, waved at Xu Chongzhi's back again and again, and did not lead his troops back to Xiamen City until he could no longer see Xu Chongzhi's figure.

At nine o'clock the next day, at the entrance of the gate of Xiamen City, Li Chongyin, the representative of the Xiamen Army, and Yang Shuzhuang, the representative of the Navy, respectively presented the command knife to Chang Zhenbang, Chang Zhenbang accepted the command knife, turned around three times, and returned the command knife to Li Chongyin and Yang Shuzhuang respectively, and then the army entered Xiamen City in the march of the Navy Orchestra, and at the same time, Sa Zhenbing also accepted the surrender of Yang Shuzhuang in the fort area.

After the surrender ceremony of sea and land, Chang Zhenbang invited Sa Zhenbing, Yang Shuzhuang, Li Chongyin and others to the city hall to discuss the aftermath of Xiamen, because long before the battle of Xiamen began, Chang Zhenbang discussed everything with Sa Zhenbing, but out of respect, he still invited Yang Shuzhuang, Li Chongyin and others to participate.

Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly, making people feel like a spring breeze, and said: "According to the agreement, Xiamen City will be assigned to the Admiralty and become a naval city, and all relevant matters in the city will be managed by the Admiralty. Fifty percent of Quanzhou's taxes go to the Ministry of the Navy. I wonder if any of you here think it's okay? ”

Sa Zhenbing said: "Lord Chang is really generous, the old man admires it very much, the old man has a question, the candidate for the Xiamen town guard envoy is jointly selected by the Admiralty and the Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian patrol envoys, is it the Navy that has been approved by the adults after being selected?" Or is it that after the adult is chosen, he is recognized by the Navy? ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "You and I each choose five people's names on a blank piece of paper, after opening, if there is the same candidate, this person is this person, if there are many of the same, or there is no same, then it will be selected among the people valued by the Admiralty." What do you think of this? ”

Sa Zhenbing glanced at Chang Zhenbang, nodded very gratifyingly, and said, "Since the adults have said so, the old man, as an elder, has no reason not to agree, but I just feel that the adults seem to have suffered a little." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "The meat is rotten in the pot, and the food is always eaten by your own family." ”

Sa Zhenbing said: "The young man's heart is really good, and he should be above Emperor Hongxian under Li Zhongtang." Duan Qirui is heroic, Feng Guozhang is heroic, but this open-mindedness is still a little bit worse. There is a way that the sea is as big as the heart, young man, the sea in your future is not under Emperor Hong Xian, when Li Zhongtang is neck and neck! ”

Chang Zhenbang laughed and said: "My lord praised it falsely, how dare Zhenbang have such a non-divisive thought, Zhenbang is a scholar, and he just wants to be a good official who defends the land and the Republic of China and makes the people rich and strong." There is a way: Eryu Erlu, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. ”

Sa Zhenbing nodded when he heard this, and said: "My brother has this heart, and the people of Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian are blessed." But the old man has a reluctant request, and he still hopes that the old brother will help? ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Is it about Guangzhou Bay?" ”

Sa Zhenbing said: "The old man gave up the unsuccessful Quanzhou tax, and only asked the elder brother to lease Guangzhou Bay to my naval fleet?" How about a monthly rental cost of 100,000 oceans? ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "It's not that Zhenbang is unwilling to help, it's just that Guangzhou is where the Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian patrol envoys are stationed, and this matter is related to the three provinces of Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian, and Zhenbang can't be allowed to agree hastily!" ”

Sa Zhenbing sighed and said, "Lin Baoyi has taken the wrong path, and he has affected many brothers, and the Admiralty can't tolerate them. The old man had to find another way out for them after the adaptation. Adults may wish to think of it this way, with these navies, your army can quickly reach the coastal provinces. It's a lot easier to conquer the world, isn't it? ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "What the boss said is very true, but if it is an elbow and armpit, it is definitely not something that Zhenbang can bear!" ”

Sa Zhenbing said: "The Admiralty has put their establishment under the patrol envoy of Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian, and the food and salary are raised by the Navy and Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian respectively!" Then adults can rest assured! ”

Chang Zhenbang thought for a while and said: "The boss is bothered, Zhenbang is not a stingy person, since this fleet is at my disposal, it is enough to hand over this food and salary to Zhenbang." ”

Sa Zhenbing said: "Thank you for accepting, the old man thanked the adults again on behalf of those children." Saying that, he was about to bow, Chang Zhenbang hurriedly went up to stop him, the two looked at each other, and smiled mysteriously at each other.
