Both torpedoes hit accurately, like two iron fists, and struck the "Volga Daddy" in the chest. In the face of the torpedoes of the Red Navy of the Celestial Empire, if you encounter even a super battleship made of steel of tens of thousands of tons, you can only lament your bad luck, let alone a wooden sailboat. A torpedo of the Red Navy is enough to break any warship in the Tsarist fleet, and go to the company of the Sea Dragon King forever.

With two loud bangs, the "Volga Daddy" jumped upwards as if it had been burned by fire, and then fell down heavily, splitting in two from the middle of the hull.

Barushka was no longer in the mood to think about the North Shore Battery.

The "Volga Daddy" was finished, and on his right, the small gunboat "Little Leech" also turned into scattered pieces of wood in an instant in the blood-red firelight in the sound of explosion. If it weren't for the "Volga Daddy" lying behind his flagship, I am afraid that the broken ones would have included themselves.

"Fire, fire, hurry up and intercept the shots! What else *** to see! Barushka, who had already run to the stern of the ship, waved his trembling hands and hissed and howled. In the bright moonlight and the light of the explosion of fire, anyone could clearly see with the naked eye that the two hunted torpedo boats had quickly moved to the south shore.

God, the officers and men of the Third Fleet knew that the Taiping Red Army would have at least a dozen torpedo boats. Now, even though there are only two of them that have come up and gone around, no one can fail to understand what that means. It is absolutely impossible for two torpedo boats alone to jump here by themselves, and there must still be the main force of their brigade at the south entrance of the military port. How could Barushka not tremble at the thought that soon there would be densely suppressed "damned tadpoles" rushing up frantically, and when he thought of the fleets of the Taiping Red Army, which did not seem to understand the preciousness of life at all.

Following the fire from the tail gun of the flagship "Tsaritsyn", the remaining less than 20 battleships of the Third Fleet that could still fire their guns joined in a chorus of blind shooting.

Rows of cannonballs stirred up columns of water that soared into the sky, forming a curtain wall made of seawater twenty or thirty yards wide and hundreds of yards long, which was spectacular......

In the yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Weihaiwei Special Zone, Wen Xiang sat there upright, his face expressionless. said that he was expressionless, just because at this time he muttered a long face, silently listening to Dashamov opposite, muttering something.

Dasamov was very excited, he kept gesturing his hands, the corners of his mouth were foaming stars, and his face was red, like pork liver.

Although Wen Xiang has spent a lot of effort to learn Russian since he became the governor of the Weihai Special Region, there is still a lot of work to do. If there were no interpreters around him, he could only understand less than thirty percent of the words that Dasamov muttered, and most of the things he could understand were swearing. The Russians' scolding words are too monotonous, and there are only a few sentences that fall in turn, which is really incomprehensible, and a country that has not even drummed up the scolding words can be sorted out by strong ships and artillery. As soon as Wen Xiang heard the Russian allies scolding, he would always have such a lament and confusion again.

Wen Xiang, Guarjia, a native of the Red Banner of Manchuria, was born as a Jinshi in 1845 (the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang). Among the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty, the reason why the Empress Dowager Cixi chose to send him to the Weihai Special Region and serve as the first governor was because he had incompatible contradictions with Su Shun and others, who were deeply favored by Emperor Xianfeng, another reason was that although he also had a lot of good feelings for his Russian allies, he was not a person on the road of Wang Yixin. Sending him here can not only show that the Qing Dynasty attaches great importance to the Weihai Special Zone, but also prevent people on Yixin Road from interfering in the first window of the Qing Dynasty's opening to the outside world. Cixi believes that the Weihai Special Zone will definitely be prosperous with the strong support and construction of its allies, and she will definitely not share the fat with others.

Before going to the post, including on the way to the post, Wen Xiang still has some ambitions, and he also very much wants to show his ambitions in this place of Weihai, comparable to Li Hongzhang, the proud man of the military circles, and by the way, the young empress dowager in the Forbidden City, knowing the mainstay of the Qing Dynasty is not the Han people who everyone has to praise, we are Manchurian, and we literati also have superb means to save the country.

Who knows, as soon as he arrived, Wen Xiang realized that he was too naïve to think.

In the Weihai Special Zone, the Russian Weihai garrison has the final say, and it would be more appropriate to say that he is the governor-general, rather than Barushka or Dasamov. The Russian allies never took him seriously, and since his arrival in Weihai, Barushka, including his chief adviser and the commander of the city defense of the Weihai Special District, Dasamov, who is now sitting in front of him, has not once set foot in this governor's yamen. As long as there is something, no matter how big or small, he must go to Dasamov's command.

As for learning from foreigners and wanting to build some useful factories, it is purely storytelling. What should be built in the Weihai Special Zone and how it should be built is up to the Russian advisers. The allies said well, if you *** have the ability to do it yourself, what are you doing with our Tsar Majesty? We've come all the way here, aren't we here to serve you? There's no way, as long as it's something that someone puts forward, you're responsible for taking money out of your pocket, and you have to pay for smashing pots and selling iron, and it's best not to even let a fart go. If you dare to express your opposition, people don't care if you are the Governor or not, let alone what you are of the second grade or how many grades, they will scold you? It's too troublesome and hard to scold you, and the gun in your waist will be pulled out immediately, shouting loudly while dangling under your nose, are you afraid? Try it if you're not afraid.

Wen Xiang was helpless, he didn't say it well, he felt that he was the governor, that is, a big customs clearance guard with a low neck, specially for the convenience of Russian allies, and he had to be a docile pug.

Today, although it is already night, for Wen Xiang, the sun is really rising high in the west. Dasamov did not go through the acquaintance of his subordinates, and he himself set fire to the ground and rushed into his governor's yamen. Not only that, but when he was about to get up in amazement and say hello, Mr. Advisor bowed and shook his hand again and again, "Dear Mr. Governor, don't move, don't move, disturb your quiet, I'm sorry." ”

Why Dasamov has such a fake politeness, Wen Xiang knows it. As the saying goes, Xiucai knows the world if he doesn't go out, not to mention that he is still a Jinshili, so he must be a little smarter than Xiucai. Weihai was in chaos, a mess, and under the rampant blows of the Taiping army on land, even if it was a bullish roar, the Russian allies who were extremely arrogant to their own people were also beaten to pieces. The Taiping army is about to complete the siege of the Weihai Acropolis, and it is not difficult to imagine what has become of the Russian warriors scattered in Wendeng and Rongcheng. Hmph, the Russian allies are also helpless.

In fact, Dasamov's mind is really as Wenxiang thought. Outside the city, the Marine Corps was still engaged in a final duel with the Taiping Red Army, and he wanted to help, but there was no army at hand that could be mobilized. There are less than 3,000 soldiers left in the city, he doesn't dare to move, the west and north have been surrounded by the Taiping Red Army, and there is a great tendency to attack the city, if you really go out of the city? Alas, it's useless to go out, look at the desperate energy of others on the battlefield, and then think about the dull and flustered gaze that always shows in the eyes of those officers and soldiers under his command, what else can you expect?

Of course, it's not that there is no hope at all. No, the Governor in front of him is his hope now.

From time to time, Dasamov cursed the Red Army of the Celestial Empire with vicious language, and praised the heroic and good fighting of the people of the Qing Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of Qing people in the Weihai Acropolis, and if they could be mobilized, the Weihai Acropolis could be protected. Naturally, it is one thing whether he can be saved until the end, the key is to save tonight first, and resist him for a while, so that he can bring the remaining blood of His Majesty the Tsar to the warship in the military port first. In today's situation, it can only be avoided for a while.

Listening to Dasamov's beautiful dream, Wen Xiang secretly sneered in his heart, followed by endless melancholy.
