Li Xiang and Li Shen led their respective fleets to pursue the fleeing British ships, but because the British soldiers had long since stopped caring about the damage of the battleships, Li Xiang and Li Shen's pursuit effect was not very great, but they also sank one British battleship and four ironclad ships, relatively speaking, it was already very good. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the happy mood of Li Xiang, Li Shen and others at this time, and the surviving soldiers of the British army at this time can only be described as terrible, the ending of the matter is 108,000 miles away from their imagination, you say that the mood of the British soldiers can be good.

However, in contrast, the worst mood was that Vice Admiral Fry, the commander-in-chief of the British fleet, a dignified senior admiral of the British Empire, was defeated by the navy of a small china, which was simply a joke.

Frye was no longer in the mood to listen to the song and dance, he sat alone in the lounge, holding a bottle of liquor, drinking it by himself, he could only get himself drunk now, only then could his heart feel better.

Gerson's mood at this time was not much better, the responsibility for the defeat of the British fleet this time could not be only Frye's, it can be said that every British officer above the lieutenant colonel level is responsible, but it is General Frye's greatest responsibility.

Gerson seemed to have made a big decision, he went to his command room and instructed the officers on duty in the command room to report to the Viceroy of India about the defeat.

The power of the Viceroy of India is very great, and the military ranks have reached the rank of general, and he is one of the few generals in the British Empire.

At this time, William, the Governor of India, was sitting in the palace admiring a jade bracelet, which he was going to bring back to China and give to his mother. His heart beats at the thought of his family back home.

Suddenly, the old butler of the Governor's Mansion ran in in a panic, panting for breath. William frowned and said, "Old Wu, what's the matter with you?" How did you get tired like this? ”

The old butler stammered, "My lord, you should take a look at this first." As he spoke, he handed William a telegram in his hand.

Puzzled, William took the telegram from the old butler's hand, which read, "Governor William, the Crusade was defeated by the Chinese near Hong Kong on February 23, 1889, and suffered heavy losses. Now, our army has come to your lordship. Rear Admiral Gessen of the British Empire. ”

Rise! William immediately stood up and repeatedly confirmed the information in the message, William's first reaction was still not to believe, in his impression, the people of China did not have a strong enough naval force at all. Even their most powerful navy, the Beiyang Fleet, would not be able to defeat Admiral Fry's navy.

At the same time, William also knew that it was impossible for Gerson to lie to himself, and there was no need to lie, so it was really what happened.

This? For a moment, William had an unreal feeling, when did the Chinese have such a strong navy, it seems that they must pay more attention to the Chinese people in the future.

That's right!

William immediately remembered a person, that is, a great figure in the new rise of the Zhina people, Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, could it be that this Li Zhongju made a powerful navy.

As William was thinking, a guard came in and said to Admiral William, "Your Excellency, there is a brigadier officer outside the door who claims to be a brigadier officer who has returned from Yunnan Province in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he said that he wants to see you. Do you need to meet? ”

William's heart sank, "Let that man in, Ben Du wants to see a little brigadier general, why should he see Ben Du directly." ”

Wright was wandering outside the gate of the Indian House, he was very apprehensive, he didn't know what to say to the Governor.

On this trip to Yunnan, Wright really didn't expect to encounter this situation, the 30,000 army was wiped out, which made him how to explain to Governor William, although the main responsibility was not himself, but he thought in his heart that he could not escape the blame.

These 30,000 soldiers are out of India, although there are not many real British, and most of them are officers, but Wright still can't help it.

Wright didn't have to wait long before being invited into the palace by the guards of the Governor's Palace. Wright looked at the Doge's Mansion and felt like home.

William didn't wait long before he saw a familiar figure coming in, and suddenly Admiral William understood that it was Brigadier General Wright, whom he had always been optimistic about.

Is this still the strong, sharp Brigadier Wright? William thought he had mistaken it, and he looked at Brigadier Wright's clothes, which were already shabby and unshaped. This was because Wright did not have time to take care of it when he returned to India, so he rushed directly to the governor's palace.

William asked, "How did you get yourself to look like this?" ”

Wright then spent half an hour recounting the matter to William, with emotion and without the slightest problem.

William was more and more shocked the more he listened, this person was really strong, that Li Zhongju's army was even better than the British army, although Green and Wright's carelessness played a certain role in it, but it was unbelievable that Li Zhongju's army strength was very extraordinary.

Could it be that this time Frye's navy was also done by Li Zhongju, if this is the case, then this person must be taken seriously.

At this moment, Li Zhongju and his army and navy can be regarded as making a name for themselves here in India, and it is believed that it will soon spread throughout the European countries.

After the end of the naval battle, Li Zhongju ordered the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to cooperate with the naval soldiers to clean up the battlefield, very quickly, and finally captured more than 3,000 British soldiers, Li Zhongju decided to throw them into the iron mine to work as coolies for the time being.

After the end of the war, Li Zhongju named Li Xiang and Li Shen's fleet Huaxia Navy, and Li Zhongju believed that the words "Huaxia Navy" would spread rapidly to distant places. It spreads all over the north and south of the river, and spreads all over the world.

When the people of Hong Kong got the news, they all took to the streets and began to celebrate, their highest enthusiasm to welcome the hero's return, but what they didn't know was that the hero they were expecting would not come ashore for a while.

But this did not affect their inner agitation, this is the first time in decades that the Chinese nation has completely and completely defeated the foreign invaders' naval force.

The news spread rapidly to Guangzhou and other places at a very fast speed, and the people who got the news were all ecstatic, and the surprise in their hearts made them very excited.

After Zhang Zhidong got the news, he immediately closed the door and thanked the guests, he decided not to get drunk today, he wanted to have a good drink, and let himself get drunk. For more than ten years, the oppression of the melon seed nation by foreign powers will officially become a thing of the past from today, because China has a strong navy, which is enough to guard the security of its own waters.
