Off the coast of Singapore, local Malay natives are casting nets to catch fish.

A fishing boat moves away from the shore and into the blue sea to catch more fish.

On the bow of the ship, a naked indigenous child suddenly looked up into the distance, and under the black smoke, three gray-and-white warships and a Victorian painted battleship with yellow on top and black on the bottom were approaching at high speed.

“Bapa！ Bapa！ Lihatlahkapalperang！ (Daddy, Daddy, look at the battleship)

The child shouted excitedly, and the father, who was fishing, did not raise his eyes to watch, but concentrated on collecting the net and catching fish.

Battleships are a rarity in the eyes of children, but in the eyes of adults, they are devils, and the British navy is the most hated by the Malays who were enslaved by the British like dogs.

The four warships continued to approach the Gulf of Singapore and soon passed not far from the fishing boat.

The battleship made huge waves, and the roar of the wake propeller had long since scared away the fish.

The fisherman threw down his net angrily and glared angrily at the battleship that passed like a mountain in front of him.

Strange, how come there are three more silver-white battleships?

The fisherman was stunned for a moment, and in his impression, the British battleships here were all in Victorian livery with yellow on the top and black on the bottom.

These three silver-gray painted warships are the Dingyuan, Zhiyuan, and Jingyuan ships under the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy, and the other Victorian painted battleship with yellow and black is the Iron Duke, the flagship of the British Asian Fleet, but now the Iron Duke has been captured, and the Chinese Navy is operating on it.

Originally, Chen Shaoyi captured the Iron Duke and was supposed to go home, and the total annihilation of the British Asian Fleet was enough to make him proud.

However, he found that Singapore was not far away, anyway, the British Asian Fleet was completely annihilated, and there were no British capital warships in the port of Singapore at this moment, at most some vigilant frigates and gunboats.

Since you have come to Singapore, why not pay a visit to the British Governor of Singapore?

In layman's terms, it is to show off your martial arts. Let the British see that their proud Royal Navy's Asian Fleet has been wiped out, even the flagship Iron Duke has been captured, and your faces have been slapped to Mars.

According to Chen Shaoyi's thoughts, he came to slap the British in the face, Chi Guoguo's face.

The fleet was getting closer and closer, and the British fortified batteries on the coast quickly discovered the situation, and two British frigates were on duty, and when they found the unknown fleet sailing into Singapore Bay, they immediately stepped forward to intercept it.

The two sides are getting closer. When the British on board the ship found out that it was the Iron Duke and three Chinese warships, it was immediately messy.

"What's going on? How could the Iron Duke be with three Chinese warships? ”

"Yes, didn't the Iron Duke lead the entire Asian fleet to Manila to fight the Chinese Navy in a naval battle?"

"Isn't it going to war, it's a friendly visit?"

……

The British army had different opinions and speculations, but no one guessed that the British Asian fleet was completely destroyed and the Iron Duke was captured.

"Flag Ask!"

The commander didn't know what to do, so he immediately gave an order, and soon the two British ships waved their flags separately to ask.

But what awaited them was not a flag reply. It's the messenger of death—a hot cannonball.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

The four ships Dingyuan, Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, and Iron Duke suddenly opened fire, and when the fire was shining, the shells were already whistling, and they smashed down from the sky to the two British ships in the blink of an eye.

In an instant. Bullets rained down.

The British army was dumbfounded, what is this Nima doing again, why did he suddenly open fire?

They were answered by the sound of a violent explosion in their ears.

Although the two British ships were not hit by 305-mm large-caliber shells, they were hit by a number of shells fired from 254-mm and 155-mm secondary guns.

Even so. It was also fatal for a British frigate with a crispy skin.

With a loud bang, a British frigate was hit by a 254-mm shell. Causing a fatal penetrating explosion, the entire battleship exploded in an instant, and a fiery red mushroom cloud rose into the air, and gunpowder smoke sprayed in all directions, like fireworks.

Another British ship also suffered a lot of shells, but fortunately it did not cause a fatal penetration, but the entire superstructure was also blown to pieces, and the flames were blazing and thick smoke billowed out.

The defenders of the shore battery were taken by surprise by the sudden upheaval, and they did not understand why the Iron Duke would fire at the British ships along with the Chinese warships, but they did not have time to think about it.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"Get ready to fight! Get ready for battle! ”

The British artillery quickly fired back, and once the battle began, it didn't matter what the Iron Duke or the Iron Rooster was, the artillery in the battle was all tendons, and they would shoot when they saw the ship, and they would shoot if there were shells, and they couldn't control much.

The battle began quickly, and a burst of British fortress shells were fired, stirring up huge columns of water on the sea.

It is very difficult to hit a moving warship with shore defense artillery, and it is often a deterrent.

However, it was much easier for a battleship to hit a shore defense battery in turn. Because the selection requirements for naval artillery are extremely high, they first learn to shoot fixed targets with 100 shots and 100 hits, and then they are selected as naval artillery to practice shooting mobile targets.

For the artillerymen of the Chinese Navy, they have been training for a long time, and they have been abused on weekdays, and they are all elites.

Knock knock!

The Chinese fleet turned its guns and aimed at the British coastal batteries, and quickly launched a fierce artillery bombardment.

In the blink of an eye, the British batteries exploded one after another, shattering the earth and rocks, blazing fire, and billowing gunsmoke.

The tremendous power of the 305 mm cannon was demonstrated at this moment, a single shell was enough to destroy a five-square-sized stone wall structure, and the huge blast wave instantly tore apart the personnel within fifty meters, sending flesh and blood flying. Even people 100 meters away, if they don't do a good job of protection, will be swept away by the air waves, or even stunned directly.

The British had not fought since the Singapore Fortress was built, and it had seen such powerful artillery fire that it was suddenly blown up to pieces, with heavy casualties.

At this moment, 100,000 colonial troops from British Australia, India, Bangladesh and other colonies gathered on O'Lelan Square in Singapore.

The Governor of British Singapore delivered an impassioned speech wishing a complete victory in the Fourth Anglo-Chinese Commercial War (the Fourth Hip War).

In the eyes of the British. China is backward and should be conquered. Even if China won the Second and Third Opium Wars in succession, it was only a fluke, because they did not defeat the pride of the British Empire, the British Royal Navy, the most powerful in the world.

"We want the Chinese to know that the British Empire is invincible, and if we offend the British Empire, let them regret being born in this world!"

"A few days ago, our British Navy's powerful Asian Fleet set out, and it is estimated that the news of their annihilation of the Chinese Navy will soon come back, so let's wait and see."

"Now. Soldiers from Australia, Bangladesh, and India, you will swear to go on the expedition and use the weapons in your hands to fight the Chinese Shence army all over the ground. ”

"At this moment, before the oath, we have captured some Chinese, although they are slaves, but they secretly help the Chinese intelligence services to obtain our information, so we want to publicly execute them."

Soon. A group of British soldiers escorted more than a hundred yellow-faced and skinny Chinese to the square, ready to hang them to sacrifice the flag.

These Chinese were all abducted and trafficked to various parts of the South Seas to do hard labor during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and most of the Chinese in Singapore were slaves and were tricked by the British into being laborers before they boarded British ships. As a result, when he arrived in Singapore, he was reduced to slavery.

The Chinese in Nanyang is a history of blood and tears, especially when the mainland's national strength is weak, they are slaughtered by others, and their lives are cheaper than dogs.

However. Just when these Chinese were about to accept their fate and wait for death, there was a sudden rumbling cannon sound from the direction of the coastline.

The Governor of Singapore immediately frowned and was about to order the execution. But I saw a British officer running madly.

"Oh no, no, the Chinese Navy is coming!"

When he called, he was immediately stunned by the hundreds of thousands of British soldiers in the square.

"What did he shout? The Chinese Navy came over? ”

"Haha, that's the biggest joke I've heard today, isn't it?"

"This guy must be crazy, the Chinese Navy would have been wiped out by our British Imperial Navy a long time ago, how could it be called?"

However, the artillery fire in the direction of the coastline became more and more intense, and the crowd had to be suspicious.

Soon, smoke billowed from the coastline, and more and more British troops ran back from the coastline, shouting that the Chinese navy was coming.

Singapore is a bit smaller, and you only need to go up three floors to see the coastline.

Soon, the British troops who had climbed to the heights shouted.

"Look, the coastal forts are in flames, and they are under fierce attack!"

At this time, the governor of Singapore was suddenly frightened, and he did not care about executing the Chinese, so he hurriedly took a group of people to the coastline to check.

The British executioners, who were waiting for the execution, asked, "Sir, do you want to execute these prisoners?" ”

The commander immediately frowned and said, "Don't kill them yet, if it is really the Chinese Navy that has come over, I am afraid that we will anger them even more if we kill their expatriates at this time." ”

More than 100 Chinese wept with joy when they heard this, and they were grateful for the arrival of the Chinese Navy.

In Singapore Bay, four Chinese warships are flexing their muscles and wantonly shelling urban buildings along the coast.

The British coastal batteries had long since lost the ability to return fire and were engulfed in flames and smoke.

The Governor of Singapore recognized the Iron Duke at a glance, and immediately felt that his brain was not enough.

What the hell is this Nima? Is it still natural for the Iron Duke, the flagship of the British Empire's Asian Fleet, to attack the British with Chinese warships? Is there still a royal law?

"Your Excellency the Governor, now the situation has shown that since the Iron Duke helped the Chinese Navy attack us, it can only show one point, the Iron Duke was captured, and now the Iron Duke must be operating the artillery on the Chinese Navy." The secretary standing beside the governor analyzed.

"How could the Iron Duke be captured? And what about the warships of other Asian fleets? ”

The Governor of Singapore can't believe that the Iron Duke is the flagship, and dozens of British ships can't protect the flagship, and people are taken prisoner? Who will believe it!

"There is only one possibility, that is, our Asian fleet has been defeated, and it should be completely annihilated, otherwise it is impossible for three ironclad ships of the Chinese Navy to kill Singapore."

The Governor of Singapore suddenly turned pale and trembled with fright.

"So—what are we going to do now?"

"There are only three Chinese ironclad ships, and they don't have marines, so they can only show off their might in the bay, and they won't launch a ground offensive for the time being. Besides, we now have 100,000 troops in our hands, are we still afraid of the Chinese landing? ”

"That's right!"

The Governor of Singapore was a little more relieved, after all, he had just gathered 100,000 troops here to prepare for an expedition to China, and it should be no problem to defend Singapore.

"It's just that the defeat of the British Imperial Navy, the annihilation of the Asian fleet, and the capture of the flagship Iron Duke, these are also outrageous!"

"I can only wait and see, I believe that the news will come back soon!"

A few hours later, the entire city of Singapore, east, west and south was completely destroyed, and the flames were raging and the sun was covered with thick smoke.

All this is the result of the shelling of the Chinese Navy, the slap in the face and the show of force of Chi Guoguo.

As he slipped westward, Chen Shaoyi saw that the British naval base in Singapore Bay had been completely destroyed, and the five or six British ships that remained behind had either been sunk or escaped, and the entire bay was no longer worth attacking.

"If we don't fight, if we fight again, the targets destroyed are not enough for our shell money, and it's not worth it."

Chen Shaoyi put this sentence aside and immediately ordered a halt to the shelling, and then the fleet circled the bay a few times, showed off its strength, and sailed away from Singapore.

There was still a lot of work to do, so Chen Shaoyi ordered to return.

At the same time, the news of the Chinese Navy's total annihilation of the British Asian Fleet in the waters near Scarborough Shoal has spread all over the world, quickly alarming people all over the world.

At first, the countries of the world thought that this was just false news, and it was absolutely impossible for the British Empire, the world's most powerful British Royal Navy, to be wiped out.

Soon, however, more and more news outlets began to report that the British Asian fleet was completely destroyed.

As a result, governments around the world had to attach great importance to it and quickly send telegrams to the legations or consulates in China, demanding a thorough investigation of the accuracy of the information.

In the Heart Cultivation Hall of the Old Summer Palace, Li Weiguo, who had been highly nervous for several days, finally laughed out loud, and his mood was extremely happy.

"Your Majesty, why is you so happy, tell your concubine to make your concubine happy!"

The speaker was Lee Chae-rim, the princess of Seoul of the Korean state, and she had been having trouble with his father, King Lee Hee of Joseon, because Lee Hee felt the military pressure from Japan and hoped that he could use China's power to deter Japan as before, but Li Weiguo's attitude was very clear, if he wanted to become a vassal state in China, he must hand over diplomatic rights and military war rights to China, otherwise he would not be able to talk.

Li Cailin, as Li Weiguo's concubine, has given birth to a prince and a princess one after another in recent years, and the status of the harem has been consolidated. But Li Xi has been sending people to lobby, hoping that Li Cailin can blow the pillow wind in Li Weiguo's ears and say good things for the DPRK.

Li Weiguo doesn't mind Li Cailin mentioning North Korea, although the two are not free to love, but in ancient times, feelings only occurred after marriage, Li Cailin gave birth to children for the Li family, which itself deserves Li Weiguo's love and spoiling her.

"The navy has won a big victory, I am very happy now, Concubine Ai must be ready!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and a great victory for the Navy is a must!" Li Cailin didn't care about state affairs, let alone what it meant to defeat the British Navy, she only cared about whether her husband was happy, and asked by the way: "It's just that what preparations do the concubines have to make?" ”

"Of course it's ......" Li Weiguo laughed, hugged Li Cailin in his arms, and kissed him bitterly.

The navy won the battle, Li Weiguo was extremely excited, and at this time, a delicate Korean beauty was sent to the door, and naturally he would not let it go.

"Your Majesty......" Li Cailin screamed, she was already picked up by Li Weiguo, and walked to the bedroom, her face was suddenly blushing and delicate.

Soon, the sound in the bedroom began to linger for a long time. (To be continued.) )
