Chapter Seventy-Three: The War of Invasion of the Japanese Kingdom Breaks Out
It is said that the two brothers Xu Gongzi and the Yuan family, with the regular elite navy of the Huaxia Divine Kingdom and the newly incorporated members of the Xuanyuan Sword Pavilion, are showing their strength in South America, preparing to use Callao as a springboard to occupy Lima Province first, and then plot Peru and the whole of South America......
At this time, far away on the other side of the ocean, in the native Chongqing Mansion of Shenzhou, Zhao Wushuang and Hu Lie had been staying for almost a year. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
During this year, Zhao Wushuang either hid in the uninhabited mountains near Chongqing Prefecture to cultivate, or went to Zhaojia Village in the southwest of Chongqing Prefecture to "visit relatives", or also took time to discuss some concepts for the future development of China with some high-level leaders of the Huarong Association.
As for Tiger Lie......
Since the relationship with Li Weiran was approved by Governor Li, the two got tired of being together almost every day. Play in and out of pairs.
For this reason, Zhao Wushuang also repeatedly warned Hu Lie to be careful. After all, this current body is not a natal god body, so take it easy!
Hu Lie blushed into a monkey's butt and told Zhao Wushuang that he hadn't done that yet, but he was just polite......
Zhao Wushuang laughed and said that he didn't expect your stupid tiger to blush!
The days seemed to pass like flowing water, and Zao Wushuang enjoyed a rare period of peace.
But in the nineteenth century, the "great era" of global development, civilization integration, and scientific and technological explosion! Calm is always temporary, and only turmoil and war are the real mainstream!
On this day, the Yellow Sea in the eastern part of China.
This is the sea near Dadonggou at the mouth of the Yalu River.
Not long ago, the Japanese people had already launched a frenzied attack on North Korea!
Speaking of which, the Korean Peninsula is indeed a very difficult place......
This peninsula is directly connected to the mainland of China, and it is very close to the Wa Kingdom. But the guy who lives here is still not angry, and the combat effectiveness is pitiful.
All from ancient times to the present, they were either conquered by the central dynasty of Shenzhou, or they were beaten by the Japanese state, and then ran to Shenzhou to cry for help......
It's a pity that this time the Japanese state once again beat North Korea. The Qing Dynasty in Shenzhou is also out of line......
Because the Manchus had succeeded in turning Shenzhou into a decadent and backward country. The first thing the Japanese did after occupying Pyongyang was to immediately mobilize a naval fleet and go to the Yellow Sea near Dadonggou at the mouth of the Yalu River to provoke the Qing State!
On this day, the Wakuni Navy concentrated 22 warships, including all of its essence, namely eight capital ships with tens of thousands of horsepower, including Yoshino, Takachiho, Akitsuzu, Naniwa, Matsushima, Chiyoda, Itsukushima, and Hashidate, as well as a large number of cruisers. There are even two super-powerful steam ironclads that rival the British second-class battleships! (Author's note: The overall national strength of this era in this book has improved to a certain extent compared with the real world. )
This mighty fleet sailed directly into the Yellow Sea, which belonged to the territory of the Qing Kingdom! It was a complete provocation.
The ships in charge of daily patrols in the Yellow Sea were the first to discover the Japanese fleet and were immediately shocked. As quickly as possible, they rushed back to the Yellow Sea port where the Beiyang Naval Division was stationed, and notified the Beiyang high-level.
Suddenly, the entire Beiyang shook!
The whole Manchu Qing shook!
The world is shaken!
In fact, back in the days when the Japanese were frantically attacking Korea. The far-sighted people among the Beiyang sailors foresaw the conspiracy of these little devils.
After all, in history, from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the ambitions of the Japanese people continued to expand. By the time Toyotomi Hideyoshi arrived, the unification of the Wakoku felt that he was hanging to the point of flying. So he led a large army to attack North Korea, beat it up, and wanted to use it as a springboard to occupy the whole of China!
However, although the national strength of the Ming Dynasty declined at that time, it was still a world-class power!
Emperor Wanli also had a temper. Directly let the Ming army go to war - and in fact, it was not the elite of the Ming army who went to war. beat the little devils at that time full of bags and quit in a hurry......
It even led to turmoil in the Japanese homeland, and was picked up by Tokugawa Ieyasu's cunning guys. Finally, the Tokugawa shogunate was established.
And now, in the middle and late nineteenth century.
The tricks played by the Japanese people, who are gradually becoming stronger, are no different from those played hundreds of years ago!
Occupy North Korea first, and then try to Manchuria!
Gaining sea supremacy is the most important thing in our current era.
The people of the Beiyang Navy Division are not idiots, and they have long made targeted prevention strategies. All when the Japanese fleet entered the Yellow River from the Yalu River to provoke, the Beiyang Fleet also reacted quickly!
Twenty main warships of the Beiyang Naval Division, including Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, and Jingyuan, plus eleven auxiliary ships, sailed into the Yellow River. I want to "teach a lesson" to the little devils of the Japanese country.
At this time, the Beiyang sailors were still a little arrogant!
Last time, I was exploited by the British and French forces, and perhaps deep down I comforted myself. This time, in the face of the almost "open" attack of the Japanese fleet, if it is defeated again...... Who can afford the consequences?
All the Beiyang sailors were elite at the beginning, putting on a decisive posture!
On the other hand, on the Yoshino, the flagship of the Wakoku.
A military meeting is being held at the top level of the Japanese side.
Admiral Yoshinori Yoshida sat on the main seat, and the other admirals sat around, each with a solemn expression.
They know very well that this is a war between the Japanese and the Qing Dynasty to gamble on the fortunes of the country.
If this war is won, the Japanese will surely gain access to a large number of resources and markets, making domestic capitalism stronger. At the same time, we can finally truly lay out the dream of "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle"!
If you lose, everything will be over.
I am afraid that the good situation that has developed so hard in the country will be destroyed again. The national power that has just risen will also fall into the abyss. What's even more serious is that at this moment, at the same time that the Japanese invaded Korea and the Qing Dynasty, there were still two "overseas vassals" in the Japanese country who were fighting for independence......
Once defeated, let alone develop, the little devils themselves will be divided or even destroyed!
Yoshida took a deep breath, looked around, and said, "Everyone! There is no need to say anything else. As early as when we set sail from the Great Sun Empire, we were already very clear about today's situation. In today's battle, only victory, not defeat! Otherwise, even if we commit suicide, it will not reduce our guilt. If we must be ashamed of the emperor and the Yamato nation, then we will all be sinners of the Japanese country! Defeat the Qing people, may my Great Sun Empire have a long military fortune! ”
"May my Great Sun Empire have a long martial fortune! Dominate Asia. ”
These **** officials said loudly in unison, with a fanatical expression on their faces.
The huge naval fleet continued to advance towards the coast......
In the world history of Zhao Wushuang's previous life, this war of large-scale invasion by the Wa Kingdom during the reign of the Qing Dynasty took place in the first four years. It is known as the "First Sino-Japanese War".
This great battle between the naval fleets of the two sides in the Yellow Sea is known as the "Battle of the Yellow Sea".
Many people in later generations said that the strength of the Beiyang Fleet surpassed that of the Japanese State, but why did it lose?
This may ignore the fact that the Battle of the Yellow Sea was only one battle in the Sino-Japanese War, and it was impossible for both sides to devote all their forces.
But...... As the first official battle to boost morale, victory or defeat has a significant incentive effect on the entire subsequent war!
The 1st Naval Guerrilla Force, which was dispatched during the Battle of the Yellow Sea, reached an average speed of 19.4 knots. According to later British naval almanacs, rapid-fire guns were fired six times faster than the original breech-loading guns. From this it was calculated that the firepower of the Japanese fleet was actually three times that of the Beiyang Fleet!
Therefore, in the first large-scale battle of the Yellow Sea in the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese Naval War in that time and space, the firepower of the Japanese fleet did occupy a crushing advantage......
The Beiyang Fleet, which was not fully prepared and somewhat arrogant, did not lose too unjustly......
It can even be said that Ding Ruchang, Deng Shichang and others can play such a situation, which is already commendable!
At least in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the Beiyang Naval Division has done its best......
So in this parallel world that has almost become unmasked because of the appearance of the "Dragon God", what will be the outcome of this Yellow River War?
History has changed beyond recognition, and the leaders of the Beiyang Naval Division are of course no longer the ships of Ding Ruchang and Deng Shichang and others - they are still hairy young men at this time.
The commander of the "Zhiyuan" battleship at the forefront was a naval pipe band (captain) named Guo Dayong. He studied at the Manchu Ship Master School, and had the opportunity to study abroad.
After returning to China, because of his talent and proficiency in human affairs, he has a high emotional intelligence. Soon became the captain of the capital ship!
This time, the Japanese people are coming, and Guo Dayong is a fanatical main battle faction!
He desperately hopes that with what he has learned and his understanding of the Zhiyuan ship, he will burst out with amazing naval combat capabilities. Let the Japanese people sink into the sand, knowing that the Chinese is powerful......
Led by the Zhiyuan ship, the "sharp knife-shaped" column formed by the Beiyang Naval Division headed towards the Japanese fleet.
Guo Dayong stood on the deck, with the busy soldiers.
His gaze looked through the gloomy sky and the rolling waters of the Yellow Sea, and he used his monocular to look at the black spots on the sea in the distance, and the warships of the Japanese Kingdom were getting bigger and bigger......
"Little devil! What I have learned, I will inevitably make you go and never return. I, the Beiyang Naval Division, have been working hard for a long time, and I am waiting for this time to officially debut in front of the world. Defeat the Japanese fleet and make your debut! ”
I have to say that Guo Dayong has enough confidence in the current combat power of the Beiyang Naval Division.
Since the invasion of the British and French forces almost two years ago, the Beiyang Naval Division has learned from the pain, not only for large and powerful firepower warships, but also for flexible light cruisers.
Guo Dayong believes that if the British and French forces invade now. With that little naval strength two years ago, the Beiyang Naval Division must be able to defeat it!
"Captain, the big war is about to break out, haven't you returned to the captain's command room yet?"
A calm voice came from behind Guo Dayong.
This is Liu Yu.
It was the sub-pipe belt that he brought out by himself, and he trusted it very much.
Liu Yu is an orphan and has a difficult upbringing. Later, because of his excellent grades in the "new school", he was sent to study in the Japanese country. After returning to China after completing his studies, he joined the Beiyang Naval Division, step by step......
Guo Dayong looked at Liu Yu's young and resolute face, and smiled with satisfaction: "Deputy Liu Guandao, our opponent today." Speaking of which, there are some former classmates of yours. And you should be familiar with the warships of the Wa Kingdom. There will be a fight later, but don't show mercy. Ha ha. ”
I have to say that Guo Dayong, the pipe band of the Zhiyuan ship, has a strong enough nerve and a confident enough confidence.
At such a time, you can still laugh!
There is quite a bit of "laughing and thirsty for the blood of the Huns".
Liu Yu's always calm and calm face couldn't help but show a smile, looking at this boss and friend who pulled himself in one hand. But if you look closely, you will find that there is a trace of unbearability and pain hidden in his smile.
"Pipe tape, what do you think...... Will we really be able to defeat the Wakoku? According to the news from the patrol boat earlier, it is likely that the other side is more firepower than ours. I studied in the Wa Kingdom, and I know that their loss is more advanced and civilized than the Qing Dynasty. We might as well ......"
He wanted to say that it was better for us to surrender, but when he saw Guo Dayong's gradually cold expression, the sentence "surrender" stuck in his throat couldn't be said.
"Actually, it's not that I want to surrender! I want to save your life. ”
Liu Yu shouted frantically in his heart.
That's right, he was one of the members of the "Rising Sun Project" that had been deeply infiltrating China since many years ago!!
He is a man of the Wa Kingdom through and through, and has a fanatical belief in the Great Sun Empire. For so many years, lurking in China, it is all for the so-called His Majesty the Emperor!
But even if a person with wolf ambition is meticulous and caring by his boss, he also has feelings.
Now that the Great War in the Yellow Sea is about to break out, many members of the "Rising Sun Project" like Liu Yu are in the fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division. And many of them are in important positions!
As long as they launched at the same time, in fact, there was no need for the opposite Japanese naval fleet to exert too much effort, and the civil strife caused by the Beiyang Naval Division alone was enough to crush all efforts and hopes......
Guo Dayong glared at him fiercely, then turned around and continued to look at the sea.
"For His Majesty the Emperor! Pipe tape, sorry! ”
Liu Yu finally made up his mind, and a trace of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.
He walked a few quick steps and approached the unsuspecting Guo Dayong from behind. A long, narrow and sharp dagger emerges from the sleeve!
He suddenly stretched out his hand and covered Guo Dayong's mouth. With a push of his right hand, the sharp dagger pierced Guo Dayong's heart from behind.
"You, you ......"
He turned around and looked at his trusted subordinates, completely in disbelief. Blood kept pouring out of his mouth.
"I'm sorry, Da Yong-kun. Because, I'm a Japanese ......."
Liu Yu still had tears in his eyes, but he firmly stretched out his hand and pushed it.
Guo Dayong fell into the raging water.
The heart is pierced and falls into the sea, and even the gods are dead!
In this way, the Zhiyuan ship almost fell into Liu Yu's hands. And he also clearly knew that he still had three companions on the capital ship of the Beiyang Naval Division......
Find them, and then create the most favorable environment for the Japanese fleet to win!
Actually, it's not just the Zhiyuan ship. The entire fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division was composed of members of the "Rising Sun Plan" of the Japanese Kingdom. They had long known about today's naval battle and made "complete" preparations in advance......
The poor Beiyang sailors who worked hard have been kept in the dark. I didn't know that I had been riddled with holes by these hateful "moths" of the Japanese kingdom since the beginning of its establishment.
As a matter of fact...... Compared to the era of Zhao Wushuang's previous life, the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Naval Division in this parallel world is even weaker!
Seeing that the fleet of the Japanese people is already approaching, a big war is about to break out! (To be continued.) )
