Chapter 296: Battle of Okhotsk

readx;

When the news of the death of the monk and the Russian vassal Lin Wei reached Shengjing, the small court in Shengjing was already facing a panic like the sky collapsing. The original black and shiny big braids turned out to be a little gray?

The death of Monk Lingqin completely cut off the last hope of the imperial court to withdraw to Mongolia, and the reconnaissance cavalry of the Chinese Empire had already appeared near Shengjing, and for the Qing Dynasty, this was probably the final fall, and the question of whether Shengjing could still hold on seemed too stupid! Ci'an prepared a white silk and a bottle of crane top red for herself, but she was a little hesitant which one to choose. The eunuchs and palace maids who came out of Yanjing were all given silver or jewelry as severance pay, and staying in the palace was nothing more than a few more deaths, some of Ci'an's personal maids cried and refused to leave, saying that they would accompany the queen mother on the road, Cixi took Tongzhi with her, and the crane top red and white silk sent below were thrown out of the door by her, Cixi didn't want to die, because she and Lin Haijiang still had an intersection, so she believed that Lin Haijiang would definitely not take her life even if she didn't fulfill the so-called promise, but she would definitely not take her life. As long as your life is in anything, it's okay to say!

Ci'an learned that Cixi refused to go on the road, afraid that there would be a chaotic army slaughtering the city after Shengjing broke the city, if Cixi, as the empress dowager, had any problems with her reputation, it would be really shameless to see her ancestors after death! Since life can't protect the Qing Dynasty, then death must also maintain his own name, Ci'an, who is still alive, poured a bottle of crane top red for Cixi, who was kicked and beaten, with the help of more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs!

Looking at Cixi's convulsive body, Ci'an's heart was also twitching, and the last bottle of Heding Red Ci'an was not given to Tongzhi, but handed over to his personal palace maid Chun Tao, and asked her to take the child quietly out of the palace to live an ordinary life, and then Ci'an put Bai Aya on the beam of the house, and Prince Gong, who had been waiting for news in the main hall, raised his gun and killed himself, and the pistol used by Yi was exactly given to Li Hongzhang by Zeng Guofan, and Li Hongzhang abandoned the official and left The gold-handled revolver handed over by the people below! Yi didn't know that what he used to kill himself was the first bullet fired from this pistol!

On February 10, 1864, the head of state division directly under the military command of the Supreme Command of the Chinese Empire and the cavalry division with outstanding achievements in Jinzhou entered Shengjing City from the east and west gates respectively, which marked the complete collapse of the Qing Dynasty established by the Jurchen people, the Qing Dynasty was the second period in Chinese history after the Yuan Dynasty ruled by ethnic minorities, and it was also the last feudal imperial state in China, from the Qing Dynasty from Nurhachi Emperor to the last emperor Tongzhi, a total of ten emperors, since 1616, After the establishment of Nurhachi, from Jin to 1636, Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to Qing, a total of 228 years, a full 40 years earlier than the history of the end of life!

The early and complete collapse of the Qing Dynasty made Lin Haijiang feel an unprecedented sense of comfort, but the death of the old and young of the former Qing Dynasty also made Lin Haijiang feel a trace of inexplicable sadness, which seemed to be a kind of despair at the end of the road? The Chinese Empire, which replaced the decaying Qing Dynasty, was like a vigorous and angry rising sun, and Ci'an, Cixi, Prince Gong and others all committed suicide, which can be regarded as an explanation of the end of this Qing Dynasty in their hands?

Although, failed to capture Tongzhi, Lin Haijiang didn't believe that the last emperor of a mere could turn over any waves, for careerists, the excuse is just a rag that can be discarded at any time, without Tongzhi, they can have countless princes, Lin Haijiang is not afraid of this group of careerists now, he even hopes that these clowns will jump out together to clear up for themselves, Lin Haijiang is not afraid of any enemies with clear swords and guns, what he wants to watch out for is those rats who will always stand in the shadows!

Although the country has been nominally unified, Lin Haijiang knows that this is only the first step in the long march of thousands of miles, it is easy to fight the world, and building the country to make the people happy and prosperous is his ultimate goal, otherwise even if the territory is more than doubled to the Han and Tang Dynasties, the people are still exploited by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and live in dire straits, no matter how strong the country is, it is meaningless, and the prosperity of the country does not mean the happy life of the people!

In the middle of the 19th century, China stretched from the Outer Khing'an Mountains in the north, to the Zengmu Shoal of the Nansha Islands in the south, from Lake Balkhash and the Pamir Plateau in the west, to the vast and sacred territory of the Sea of Okhotsk, Sakhalin Island and Taiwan in the east. Lin Haijiang found that he was facing a lot of things at once?

Lin Haijiang is anxious to regulate the allocation of various materials in Yanjing and the preparation and training of the federal army of Chekov's new Russian Federation, Chekov is an immature wolf, which Lin Haijiang has been very clear since he saw Chekov, but how to control this wild wolf is also a challenge for Lin Haijiang, he needs an intermediary to add some trouble to Nicholas I, so that the Russians are busy with civil strife, the Chinese Empire has just been unified, and what is needed is time to restore people's livelihood and engage in infrastructure construction.

On February 16, 1864, when Lin Haijiang was preparing to start the first official recruitment examination of the imperial administrative organs, the ships commanded by Zhanyang carried out a planned purge in the Hawaiian Islands, which was called "eliminating witnesses" The purge can be said to be the first new image brought by the extreme force of the Chinese Empire to the other side of the ocean, and those who do not cooperate go to hell. However, this small but very well-organized massacre was recorded on the head of Lin Haijiang, a community of heroes and devils.

Although Zhanyang is the nominal deputy head of the empire, but in history, Zhanyang, the deputy head of state, has always been Lin Haijiang's most loyal supporter, so the Hawaii Massacre has always been identified as Lin Haijiang's order to implement the organization, because there is no living mouth, and all the subsequent archives were destroyed, so this massacre has become a headless case, but later imperial immigrants can still find the so-called human pits and bones on many islands.

Lin Haijiang, whose ears had been hot for most of the day, deliberately must have been muttering to himself? Who exactly is so? Lin Haijiang didn't guess, because there were so many enemies that there were almost too many of them, because of the correspondence, Lin Haijiang didn't know about the big incident that happened in Hawaii, and the cause of the incident was just that the local Americans insulted the head of the empire and attacked the imperial sailors! Of course, this is just an excuse that is not an excuse!

At noon on this day, the fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy under the command of Jia Wuji, under the leadership of the flagship battleship Dingyuan, engaged in a fierce battle with the main force of the Far East Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy 60 nautical miles off the port of Okhotsk.

Admiral Simjesky, commander of the Far East Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy, can be said to have devoted his strength to the battle, and the average standard displacement of the sixteen armored cruisers participating in the war was more than 4,000 tons.

Simjesky is looking for a fighter in his favor, Simjesky is an experienced admiral, he will not rush to lead the fleet to a hasty decisive battle with the enemy because of the roar of Nicholas I, Simjesky knows the weakness of the fleet under his command, the number of ships is not an absolute guarantee of victory, the combined fleets of European countries before were wiped out under the naval blows of the Chinese Empire, and the quality of the naval officers and men of the Chinese Empire is in Simjesky's view, Looking at the whole world, it is second only to the United Kingdom.

What's more, the Imperial Chinese Navy also has a Zhenyuan-class battleship, but the Far Eastern Fleet has no warships that can compete with it, Nicholas I does not understand the navy, but Simjesky is an expert, let a layman command an insider, this is the real tragedy, in order to avoid a tragedy, Simjesky has been trying to avoid the war, because from the perspective of naval strategic decisive battle, the Russian Empire and the Chinese Empire are not opponents within the same grade in the navy, at least now.

Simjesky said that he was sending a fleet to the Chinese Empire for a decisive battle, so it was better to say that he was trying to preserve his strength, but Jia Wuji was not an orthodox admiral like Zhanyang, Jia Wuji liked unscrupulous means, even if he used a battleship to deal with the sampan, he could also enjoy the joy of victory, so Jia Wuji targeted the Russians' death hole as soon as he made a move, the shipyard in Okhotsk, where there were four Nikolai-class battleships imitating the Zhenyuan-class battleships of the Chinese Empire in four large docks being assembled.

In order to avoid an attack on the Okhotsk shipyard, the Far East Fleet of the Russian Navy under the command of Simjesky had to temporarily assemble quickly and fight a decisive battle with the fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, which was trying to pose a threat to the port of Okhotsk.

For the bold and rapid breakthrough of the Chinese Imperial fleet, Simjesky was hardly prepared, as if his tactics had been seen through at the beginning? In addition to the two Nikolai-class battleships to be built at the St. Peter shipyard, four of the six capital ships of the Russian Empire are all located at the Okhotsk shipyard for final weapons assembly, and even if the entire Far Eastern Fleet is sacrificed, the absolute safety of the port of Okhotsk must be guaranteed!
