"What the hell are the Japanese doing?"

On the flybridge of the Russian cruiser Minin, Captain Tiletov shouted in surprise as he watched the Japanese ships around him lower their Japanese flags one after another, raising a flag with a strange pattern of a cross in a circle.

"There must have been a rebellion!" First mate Oleg said worriedly when he saw the smoke column and the burst of gunfire rising from the shore.

"Oh my God! Are the Japanese crazy? Tiletov raised his binoculars and was horrified to see the bodies of people who had been killed thrown into the sea from time to time on some Japanese warships.

"I don't know if our embassy district and foreigners' quarters have been attacked...... Oleg thought of the danger that the Russian expatriates on the shore might encounter, and was anxious, "we should send sailors to protect our people on the shore!" ”

"But, I didn't receive an order!" Tiletov put down his binoculars and sighed, "There is no news from the consulate either!" ”

Although the "Migne" is a large warship with a displacement of 6,234 tons, equipped with 4 203-mm cannons and 12 152-mm secondary guns, it is the main warship of the Russian Siberian Fleet, and its strength can be proud of all Japanese warships in Nagasaki Port, but now is after all, it is peacetime, and it is wintering in Japanese ports, and no military action can be taken without an order.

"Something has to be done!" Oleg said in a hurry.

At this moment, Tiletov suddenly saw a Japanese Navy steam boat flying a white flag heading towards the "Migne", on which stood a Japanese naval officer and several sailors.

Tiletov and Oleg glanced at each other, "Order the whole ship to be ready for battle!" Tiletov thought about it and decisively gave an order to one of the officers beside him.

The officer ran to give the order, and Tiletov got off the flybridge with Oleg and came to the deck.

Soon, the Japanese officers and sailors came to the deck of the "Migne", and after greeting the Russians, they handed over the paperwork.

"Due to the rebellion in the harbor, please keep your navy neutral." The Japanese officer said simply in stiff Russian.

Tiletov quickly took the paperwork, opened it and read it, the text was written in the name of the commander of the Japanese Satsuma Navy, asking the Russian Navy to remain neutral and not to intervene in the war. The document also specifically states that the foreigners' residential areas on the shore and the embassies of various countries will be protected by Satsuma.

Feeling that the stakes were high, Tiletov asked the Japanese officer what had happened, but the Japanese officer said that he had nothing to say for the time being, and then left.

In order to prove the situation of the Japanese officer, after thinking about it, Tiletov sent someone ashore to inquire about the situation at the Russian consulate, and soon received the news that the Russian consul sent someone to tell him that everything was safe in the area where the Russian expatriates lived, that no Russians had been harmed, and that the consulate was trying to find out what kind of rebellion had occurred. While briefing the Russian warships in the port of Nagasaki, the Russian consul also specifically stressed that the Russian Navy should not intervene so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

After communicating with the consulate, Tiletov was relieved, and then he issued an order forbidding Russian sailors to go ashore, and soon the order of the commander of the Russian Siberian Fleet also reached the "Migne" and other warships, demanding that the Russian warships "not take any military action without an order."

Although he was puzzled by what happened in the port of Nagasaki, Tiletov did not think much about it, and his simple brain took it for granted that since the work and life of the Russians were not disturbed, what did it matter to them whether the Japanese lived or died?

Tyletov would not have thought that the death of these Japanese had a lot to do with them, the Russians. In the future, he and his "Migne", as well as all the officers and men on board, as well as the entire Siberian fleet of the Russian Empire, will be involved in this huge historical whirlpool.

The cold wind was cold, Lin Yiqing rode on a horse, looked around, and in the endless snowy fields, there were teams of figures trekking hard.

At this time, the Satsuma army was slowly advancing on the main road to Kumamoto despite the severe cold and heavy snow.

Lin Yiqing saw Chiho Kirino not far away, at this time she was wrapped in a cloak, curled up, riding a horse and moving forward slowly, looking from a distance, it was no different from an ordinary cavalryman, but Lin Yiqing could still recognize her from the crowd at a glance.

Lin Yiqing hesitated, but still galloped towards her.

Because he is the chief of staff of this army, he has traveled from another time and space, and under the influence of the military discipline of the original time and space, it is not good for him to express concern for his lover in front of so many subordinates.

But the Satsuma samurai of this era obviously did not have these scruples, many samurai came to fight with their families, and Lin Yiqing also lifted the knot after seeing some samurai holding their wives for warmth.

"Is it cold? Don't fall asleep! Lin Yiqing looked at Chiho Kirino who was lying on the horse and asked with concern.

"It's not cold, it's not sleeping." Chiho Kirino straightened up and turned her head to look at Lin Yiqing, at this time her face was completely blocked by a mask-like mask, and only a pair of starry eyes like water were exposed, looking at him fixedly.

Although Lin Yiqing couldn't see her expression under the cover of the mask, he could still feel the smile in her eyes.

"It's snowing so hard." Lin Yiqing came to Chiho Kirino's side and walked with her, a snowflake fell on her sideburns, Lin Yiqing gently wiped the snowflake away, and the snowflake turned into crystal droplets on his fingertips.

"Hmm." Chiho Kirino looked at her father Toshiaki Kirino not far away, and said softly, "The snow is too big, and the progress of the march will be affected, and I estimate that it will take five or six days to reach Kumamoto at the earliest." ”

"Yes! I didn't expect the snow to fall so hard. Lin Yiqing nodded and looked around, "This is probably a rare heavy snow in Kyushu!" ”

"The soldiers are fast, we are walking so slowly, when we reach Kumamoto Castle, the enemy will be ready, and we will lose the opportunity." Chiho Kirino said with some concern, obviously she is also a deep master of the art of war.

"Don't worry, you're going to break Kumamoto." Lin Yiqing comforted her.

"What are you talking about?" Kirino Toshiaki saw the inseparable love of his daughter and son-in-law from a distance, and asked with a smile.

"Chiho is worried that the heavy snow will miss the march and prepare the thief army for the difficulty of breaking through Kumamoto." Lin Yiqing replied with a smile.

Kirino Toshiaki laughed, he dismounted suddenly, picked up a broken bamboo cane from the snow, and shouted loudly while tapping the snow in front of him: "One green bamboo branch can overwhelm Kumamoto!" ”
