Hearing Zhong Lin's voice, Liu Junxin suddenly raised his throat.

The voice, a little anxious, a little hurried.

It's bad, didn't you resist, thinking of this, Liu Jun hurriedly picked up the torch, ran to the room, lit the torch and ran outside, and came to the pyre, he thought about it, as long as Zhong Lin dared to say that the sailor was defeated, he would immediately throw the torch in. Let the people evacuate, and then lead the soldiers to the battery and have a good fight with the Combined Fleet.

"Head, what do you want to do?" Zhong Lin, who ran in, saw Liu Jun pick up a torch with an expectant look on his face.

He also knew that once the fire was lit, the city of Arthur would immediately fly and the people would flee.

"Oh my god." Zhong Lin screamed violently. Then he ran up quickly, and snatched the torch from Liu Jun's hand and was still on the ground.

After stomping on it with his feet, Zhong Lin wiped the cold sweat that scared out just now, he was really worried that Liu Jun's hand would tremble, and the torch would be thrown in.

Liu Jun didn't stop Zhong Lin, seeing Zhong Lin extinguishing the torch, and seeing the smoke rising from the torch, Liu Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, Zhong Lin's action directly explained that the sailor was victorious.

Indeed, Zhong Lin came to report the good news, this afternoon, after receiving Liu Jun's order, he has been staying in the port, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally at half past nine in the evening, he found a few lights outside the port of Lushun. Zhong Lin, who saw the light, was also excited to walk back and forth in the port, knowing that it was close, he found that it was Pingyuan and Fulong who came back.

From the mouths of these two warships, Zhong Lin knew that the Beiyang Naval Division had not only defeated the Combined Fleet, but also achieved quite perfect results.

In a three-hour naval battle, the combined fleet lost Itsukushima, Akitsuzu, two cruisers, Matsushima, Chiyoda were seriously wounded. And the torpedo boats were also sunk by three.

Zhong Lin, who got the news, was very excited, so he wanted to run back as soon as possible to tell Liu Jun the news, who knew where he would see Liu Jun picking up the torch as soon as he entered the door. But it startled him.

"Head, the sailor has won." Zhong Lin gasped for two breaths and looked at the torches that were still smoking.

Silence, silence. Zhong Lin looked at Liu Jun who was standing there in a daze strangely, not knowing what to say. "What the hell is it, tell Wu Datong, put on a feast, and catch the wind for Li He." Liu Jun finally broke out. The depression and worry of the day suddenly exploded.

"Okay," Zhong Lin nodded happily. ran out of the fart, he wanted to tell Wu Datong as quickly as possible, after all, it was not easy to eat a good meal.

Arthur Headquarters, now there is a lot of noise here. The navy in white navy uniforms and the army in gray uniforms were sitting around a dozen tables at this time, chatting and laughing.

"Drink, drink." Liu Jun picked up the wine bowl in his hand and slapped the table. motioned to Li He, who was sitting next to him, to get up and do it.

Li He didn't drink much in the first place, but now his face was flushed, just watching Zhong Lin, a stunned man, pick up the wine bowl, he had to pick it up.

Drinking the wine in the bowl in one gulp, Li He turned his head to look at Zhong Lin, who was still drinking with Yan Fu next to him: "What about the handsome.?" ”

"The head is in the war room." Zhong Lin's most taboo is that someone disturbs him when he is drinking. Speak impatiently.

In the war room, what is the marshal doing in the war room, Li He is not drunk yet, thinking of this, he originally wanted to ask, but seeing Zhong Lin like this now, he knew that it was useless to ask. Come to think of it, it's better for him to go to the war room in person, and by the way, he has some work to report.

In the war room, Liu Jun frowned tightly, deaf to the noisy voices outside, "Should the two divisions in Shandong be eliminated or not?" Liu Jun bit the pencil in his hand, and then slammed the pen on the map of Shandong in a big circle.

Last night, after getting the final report from Zhong Lin and Li He, Liu Jun had the intention of destroying the Japanese Shandong Combat Army. In his opinion, as long as the Japanese forces fighting in Shandong were eliminated, then it would be possible to make the Japanese compromise and then negotiate.

Of course, this was the idea that he had at the time, and after returning to it, after much deliberation, he saw it as an opportunity to end the war. So early this morning, after he just had two drinks with Li He and other major admirals, he came to the war room alone, and he wanted to think about it carefully.

Liu Jun knew that without the United Fleet, Japan would be a country if he gave him face, and if he didn't give him face, it would not be a fart.

Japan is an island country, and it doesn't want other countries, so if you want to fight with others and grab territory, you just have legs, but Japan is different, Japan must have a means of transportation, that is, a ship, in saying that a bigger one, is a warship.

Liu Jun also knew that the reason why Japan dared to compete with the Qing State for territory was because of the existence of the Combined Fleet, but now, the Combined Fleet was almost completely wiped out, and the Japanese did not talk about increasing their troops in Shandong, and the direction of the increase in troops was to give the two divisions in Shandong, transport materials, and even guard their own doorsteps.

Liu Jun didn't think of occupying Japan in the past, after all, he had to involve a Russian bear, but Liu wanted to end the war.

And now, the Combined Fleet has been abolished, this is an opportunity, Liu Jun wants to take advantage of the time of the destruction of the Combined Fleet, inform Li Hongzhang, let him mobilize heavy troops, besiege the Japanese troops in Shandong, and then force the Japanese to the negotiating table, is it not possible. Liu Jun also prepared to launch an offensive in Korea to further force Japan.

However, Liu Jun also knew that relying on the Qing army in Shandong alone to besiege the Japanese army of two divisions was also somewhat realistic, so Liu Jun wanted to move Lushun's first army and go to Shandong.

The question is how to get this army to Shandong, and Liu Jun has been thinking about this question.

Taking the sea route is the best choice, the problem is that Weihai is occupied by Japan, and taking the sea and land will inevitably give Japan a bloody battle in Weihai, and Liu Jun is reluctant to let the sailors take risks. By land, you have to meet Yingkou, and then pass through Jinzhou, and pass through the mountain customs. This way. Too slow.

"Damn." Liu Jun sat on the chair with some anger and hugged his head with both hands

"Great. You are. As soon as Li He came in, he saw Liu Jun holding his head and making trouble, as if he had a lot of trouble.

As soon as he heard the voice, Liu Jun raised his head, saw that it was Li He, smiled slightly, and showed an ugly smile: "Why are you here, were you scared by Zhong Lin." ”

This, Li He didn't expect Liu Jun to break this matter all at once, he smiled: "Dashuai, how can I be, I'm here to report the situation to Dashuai." "What's the situation, didn't you report yesterday's results?" Liu Jun was a little puzzled and stood up, he wanted to let go of the matter of marching into Shandong, but asked suspiciously.

"There's nothing wrong with it, I just want to ask the marshal to give me something?" Li He rubbed his hands.

Virtue, looking at Li He's action, Liu Jun glanced at him, when, Li He and Zhong Lin were virtuous, thinking of this, Liu Jun returned to his position and asked lazily, "What do you want?" ”

Li He actually didn't have any big deals, he came here today, in fact, he asked Liu Jun for cannonballs.

After the Zhenyuan killed Itsukushima with one shot yesterday, he decided to go back and discuss with Liu Jun, saying that he had to get some TNT shells, so he came today in the hope that Liu Jun could get hundreds of them for the Hashidate. Long eyes.

"Hundreds, no, no, not one," Liu Jun heard that Liu Jun was here to ask for cannonballs, his face suddenly turned pale, you must know that taking four hundred cannonballs has already cost Liu Jun 50,000 taels of silver.

Bandits, Liu Jun can see that none of these people under his command are good things, they are all skinned, and they don't know who to learn from, so they will ask for hundreds.

Seeing Liu Jun's widening eyes, Li He shrank his head: "One hundred." ”

"No, no, let alone a hundred, not ten," Liu Jun hurriedly waved his hand.

"Why, handsome. : This made Li He feel puzzled.

"Let me tell you clearly, I want to give, the problem is that I don't have the materials right now, and I can't do it." Liu Jun directly gave Li and the old bottom.

"Dashuai, you can ask Lord Zhongtang to find those materials, and then our sailor will move them back."

"What, what do you say. : Liu Jun raised his head violently. looked at Li He like a monster: "You're talking about it again."

"I said we're going to move back." Li He didn't know why Liu Jun was surprised, so he was seriously lacking in confidence to speak. "No, the previous sentence, the previous sentence." Liu Jun waved his hand and said excitedly.

Strange, what's wrong with Dashuai, Li He frowned.

"Paralyzed, why are you so long-winded, hurry up." Liu Jun was obviously impatient.

As soon as he heard Liu Jun get angry, Li He hurriedly said: "I said, let Dashuai ask Lord Zhongtang for materials, and then send them to Tianjin Port to detain, and we will move them." ”

There was a snap, and Li He was startled by the sound. Then I heard Liu Junda pinch and roar.

"Damn, why didn't I think of it."
