Chapter 158: Urgent Report

More than a month ago, Li Shen and tens of thousands of soldiers came to the southernmost tip of Qiongzhou Mansion in Guangdong Province with three battleships, ten ironclad ships, and thirty-five clippers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shen named this place "Sanya", because in the depths of Li Shen's memory, this will be a very famous city "Sanya" in the future.

More than a month ago, Li Shen's army came here to start building a naval base, and although they worked hard during that time, they were very happy and happy. Every day they watch their naval base improve little by little, and they are really happy.

In ten days, under the leadership of Li Shen, the army has initially built a naval base, and every day after that, Li Shen will conduct various training for the army, and the soldiers have grown rapidly.

At the same time, Li Shen would send two ironclad ships every day to patrol the surrounding waters, and Li Shen had heard the commander say that Britain would not give up if it suffered such a big loss, and as long as Britain got the news, it would definitely send troops to China.

However, a huge fleet was ushered in on the South Sea Sea, and each battleship was embroidered with a "m" flag, which was obviously a British fleet.

The speed of their warships is still very fast, and this fleet is sailing in the South China Sea at a speed of 18 knots per hour, and it is getting closer and closer to Sanya.

The battleship "Lunri" in the middle of this fleet is the command ship, this battleship "Lunri" is 168 meters long, 30 meters wide, with a standard displacement of 16,500 tons and a maximum draft of 11.5 meters. There are a total of 120 artillery pieces of various types, including the main and auxiliary guns, of which the main guns are three 225-mm howitzers.

The "Lunge" is one of the most advanced battleships in the world today, and the British commander-in-chief, Vice Admiral Fry, stood quietly on the deck, looking at the flowing water. But the heart has drifted far away.

Frye remembers that three months ago, he was sitting in the general's palace and drinking, when he was suddenly called by the prime minister, and several generals were summoned by the prime minister at the same time. At that time, the prime minister was very angry and told them about something that they couldn't believe at all.

The British Empire was defeated by the Manchu dynasty in the East, defeated twice in a row by a man named Li Zhongju, and even Hong Kong was lost, not to mention that the hateful Li Zhongju also issued all kinds of regulations restricting their Western people.

All this has made the faces of the generals who regard themselves as the world's largest countries very ugly. Since the British Empire defeated the Netherlands to become one of the strongest countries in the world, and a few decades later, the Empire defeated France, and the British Empire finally stood at the top of the world, becoming the world's first power, a veritable hegemon.

But today they heard things that made them unacceptable and even felt incredible. In their eyes, the Manchu Qing State in the east of the world is their cash cow and their gold and silver treasury.

In their eyes, the Manchu people were all barbarians, how could they have such strength to defeat the tens of thousands of troops of the British Empire. But the facts were in front of them, but they had to believe it, and in the end, after several discussions, Frye led an invincible armada towards the east.

Thinking of this, Frye laughed coldly, he didn't believe that the British army was defeated by the Chinese people, there must be some ulterior secrets in it, and he must find out.

The fleet continued to advance northward, and the roar of thunder could be clearly heard more than a dozen nautical miles away.

However, what they didn't find was that a cruiser of Li Shen's fleet had already discovered their movements, and they immediately reported it to Li Shen.

After receiving the news, Li Shen immediately reported the situation to Li Zhongju, the commander of Guangzhou. At the same time, Li Shen ordered all officers and soldiers to enter a state of martial law and prepare to fight at any time.

Li Zhongju was sitting with Wang Wu for dinner, and the two enjoyed this short but happy time. Li Zhongju sandwiched a lot of dishes that Wang Wu liked to eat for Wang Wu, and Wang Wu also happily sandwiched dishes for Li Zhongju.

Suddenly, a guard ran in, Li Zhongju's face immediately sank, he knew that if there was no major event at this time, the guards would not come in, Li Zhongju asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

The guard replied without hesitation, "Lord Wang, General Li Shen has just sent a telegram that the British fleet has entered the South Seas, and it is only about two hundred nautical miles away from Sanya. ”

Li Zhongju nodded, "Got it." She continued to eat very calmly, Wang Wu didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of worry, now Wang Wu is very concerned about some major events, and she is also very concerned about the dynamics of the world. This is obviously an urgent report, Wang Wu looked at Li Zhongju without a trace of panic, and felt much more relieved.

Li Zhongju ate a lot faster, and at the same time, Li Zhongju was also thinking about how to welcome the arrival of the British fleet.

Li Zhongju understood that the arrival of the British fleet this time was by no means to let off steam, it was definitely to take revenge, and of course their goal was also themselves.

Li Zhongju slapped Britain in the face, how could they give up, for them without finding a face, they would not give up their aggression against themselves.

Li Zhongju understands that for this kind of country, they can only be beaten and feared, otherwise things will come one after another, but Li Zhongju is not afraid at all, Li Zhongju never thought that he would lose.

Now that the British army has come to our doorstep, then we are bound to welcome it well, and this time Li Zhongju decided to teach the British army a hard lesson. Li Zhongju also understood that the British fleet must not be very strong this time.

That's because in the eyes of the British, we are still very weak, and pride makes people complacent, and this statement is not wrong at all times.

Later, Li Zhongju ordered people to spread the news of the imminent arrival of the British fleet to all directions. Li Zhongju wants everyone to know about it, and he wants them to have a sense of crisis, and they want to be born in sorrow and die in peace. Only when the people always retain a sense of crisis will they cherish it more and they will support the army more.

As the news came out, people were all surprised, especially this time that the 20,000 people of Zhennan Wang were facing the invincible armada of the British army.

They knew that the army of Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, was very powerful, and it could be described as invincible and invincible, but the navy of the king of Zhennan, everyone didn't know much, it was just hearsay.

It's this alley again, and it's these people again, and they're also extremely shocked by the news they just heard.

The leader thought for a while, "We must pass the news to the adults as soon as possible, hahaha, Li Zhongju is in big trouble this time, as long as the adults get the news, they will definitely reward us." ”

The others all nodded excitedly, as if they had seen a lot of gold and silver in their hands. (To be continued.) )
