It is very annoying that the sleeping Zhengxiang is shaken to sleep. Guangxu didn't open his eyes and hummed twice, turned over and went to sleep.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get up." Yang Zao'er smelled the rich wine in Guangxu's mouth, and couldn't help retching again.

Only then did he hear Zao'er retching, Guangxu immediately came to his senses and covered his mouth with one hand: "I have to stay away from you, you are now the key object of protection." Guangxu looked around and asked, "Why don't there be a maids, these things can be done by the maids in the future." There is a reason that everything is handled by the queen of a country herself. ”

Yang Zao'er patted her chest and suppressed her vomiting: "You don't like people to serve, so you can only do it yourself by the concubine." It's eleven o'clock, get up and wash up, and I'll have to attend the feast later. ”

Guangxu pulled Yang Zao'er, who was holding the dragon robe, to the bed and sat down, and said while getting dressed: "I know that you are virtuous, but I have my own hands." The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body and give birth to a healthy baby. ”

handed over a telegram: "Your Majesty, Lushun ......"

"Okay, isn't it already a fight?" Guangxu didn't even answer the telegram: "As an emperor, I have done everything I can for this war." Warships, artillery, ammunition, coal...... Everything is ready, and the rest of the battle is up to the soldiers. As for how to fight on the battlefield, that's the generals' business, so let's not interfere. When he called Lushun back, he said, "I know." ”

In the Taihe Hall in front, the ministers and representatives of various countries have already gathered, and the temporary awnings on both sides cannot withstand the scorching summer heat. Only the electric fan behind him could bring a touch of coolness to the princes and ministers who had already filled the banquet table. As the exquisite dim sum was put on the table, along with the exquisite fruit plates. While the foreigners were amazed by the exquisite shape of Chinese food, they were also attracted by the simple leaflets about dim sum melons and fruits and beautiful mountains and rivers. China. This mysterious oriental country has always brought different senses to the world again and again.

The noise of the front hall reached the harem, and the scorching sun shone on the ground, and the rising heat distorted the light, making the entire Forbidden City no longer so real and dreamlike as a phantom. The once small engineer has inexplicably become the master of the empire, the once abandoned otaku is getting married today, and the once humiliated country is wielding a powerful iron fist. Whether you win or lose, at most you will return to the original track of history. It won't get worse than that. In that case, what else is there to worry about. Thinking back to the dream in Grangeda, I used to look for a way out in the dark, and I once thought it was just an ethereal dream. Is it Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies or butterflies and dreams of Zhuang Zhou, between the real and the unreal, who can understand?

Guangxu just patted his beloved wife who was holding his arm lightly and smiled faintly. Why do you have to distinguish between the real and the unreal, even if the whole world is illusory, as long as the beloved wife around you is real. Then she is willing to lay a real world for her and the child in her womb.

"I hate it, so many people are watching!" Perhaps feeling the emperor's deep love and affection, Yang Zao'er looked at the people who came in and out around her, and suddenly blushed. just grabbed Guangxu's arm, but it was tighter.

"Huh...... I just wanted to say that I haven't woken up yet. It's still early, why don't you go back and sleep for a quarter of an hour? ”

"You're really annoying!" After Yang Zao'er finished speaking, she withdrew the hand holding Guangxu with an angry face. But in his heart, he said with great regret: "He is a good emperor." Would also be a good husband. But how can he be a man who doesn't understand the amorous feelings? ”

Yang Zao'er's actions made Guangxu puzzled, how could he suddenly get angry. Guangxu Jue's head was a little itchy.

"Boom". A 305mm gun hit the deck of the Haichen, and the explosion sent a large amount of shrapnel that killed and injured the busy sailors and gunners. But the earth couldn't stop their attack speed in the slightest. The wounded soldier who was knocked down simply got back up and continued to aim at the enemy and fire. The soldiers who died in the explosion seemed to be asleep, only their faces still froze with anxious expressions, as if asking: Did you sink the enemy ship?

"Fire." With the top of the reserve artillery group, the resuming naval guns roared angrily at the command of the team leader. Two identical 305-mm shells flew out of the barrel with a vengeful rage towards the Asahi in the distance.

The remnants of the Japanese fleet, having lost their command, fled for their lives on the sea, without direction and without a goal. These were the first Japanese to experience war, and they really couldn't adapt to the empty war between the world's largest ironclad ships. The dazzling maneuvers of the fleet before the start of the battle had left them struggling to cope with the past, but when the fact that the Izumo had been sunk in five minutes was revealed, the skills and tactics of piloting the ships they had learned in training had long been forgotten by the roar of guns. As warships were sunk before their eyes, the only thing they remembered was following the flagship. Now even the flagship has run away, leaving them to fly away. As a result, these captains who had just become battleships lost their last proposition, and in the face of the fact that the Japanese, who were inferior to the Qing Kingdom in terms of firepower and number of ships, had only one thought in their hearts -- to flee for their lives, let alone the so-called will to fight.

As the Kongo and the other six ships went away, the other large Japanese warships, which had lost almost all of their small ship support, found that no matter which direction they turned, there would be large Qing warships blocking the road, including due west in the direction of the Qing Kingdom.

Pursuing a ship that has besieged and routed is not a rush up like a group fight, because in order to protect itself from fearless damage, each ship in a naval battle needs to stay as far away from the enemy ship as possible, and at the same time, it is also necessary to keep a certain distance from the enemy ship to ensure the hit rate, so the key is that the routed enemy ship is running around without direction, and how to choose the priority target for the pursuing fleet depends on the battlefield command ability of the fleet commander-in-chief. In the chaotic battlefield, it is necessary to coordinate the position of each ship, and how to ensure the maximum attack efficiency on the premise of ensuring that the enemy ship does not escape the encirclement. It became a time to test the true command level of Wu Deren, the commander-in-chief of the Qing Navy.

"Order four destroyers to patrol the perimeter in a group, and not let a single Japanese ship escape."

"Order the Third Task Force to leave the battlefield and rescue the wounded and the ship."

"Order the four ships of Dinghai to leave the battlefield to the north. Maneuver on standby on the Northern Front. “

"The rest of the ships are two against one, and they attack the nearest ship of the same class. Until the other side surrenders. ”

Wu Deren scratched his ears and gave various orders. If it weren't for the radio energy to connect the ships in time, Wu Deren and Ben would not have been able to understand the situation of the ships on this battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke with a field of vision of less than 3,000 meters. Even so, in this rapidly changing battlefield, the ships could not accurately report the position of each ship, and Wu Deren could only order the ships to attack the enemy ships by relying on cover. Fortunately, the strength of the Qing navy on the battlefield is twice that of Japan, otherwise at this moment of imminent victory, it would be a big loss to be one-on-one and finally attacked by the Japanese.

Looking at the Yashima with only a shadow seven thousand meters away in the distance, Wu Deren waved his hand to fan away the gunpowder smoke in front of him, but to no avail. Such a thick smoke of gunpowder made it impossible to see the enemy ships in the distance. How can the gunner be able to aim? Maybe it would be better to rush up and get closer to the shelling? With the development of artillery technology, the distance of naval warfare is getting farther and farther, and the emperor has repeatedly asked to strengthen the ability to attack from a long distance, so is it appropriate to rush forward? Before Wu Deren could make up his mind, the captain Li Liang was asking the same question, and the Long Xiao, which was accompanying the attack of the Long Yin, also sent a telegram asking if it would approach the artillery bombardment.

Two warships to attack a fleeing battleship of the same class, if they are injured by the enemy, it will be a fart. Wu Deren turned his heart sideways: "Order the Long Xiao to follow our ship to attack the enemy ship by 3,000 meters." ”

After the 3rd Task Force broke into the battle line of Japanese ships, it sailed away from the battlefield due to heavy injuries. At this time, on the battlefield, the sound of artillery was not as fierce as the fierce battle. Long Yin and Long Xiao grabbed the Yashima and didn't let go. Four Tiger-class heavy cruisers were besieging the Azuma, and at this time, the Hawaiian Fleet's two Dragon-class battleships and two Tiger-class heavy cruisers were lining up for standard artillery bombardment, and they were practicing with the Toyama and Yakumo, which were basically suspended.

The Hawaiian fleet in the entire campaign did not show any outstanding performance, following the fleet to move and follow the fleet to attack. Everything is perfectly normal. Like the Japanese, they had encountered a war of this scale for the first time, but the fleet, which had been trained for many years and practiced with the Qing Dynasty all year round, at least did not appear in a large-scale panic. Everyone can be firm in their position. Of course, this refers to the Chinese on board, and those native Hawaiians who served as ordinary sailors have long been in hiding. USS Hawaii, HMS Queen, USS Kauai, USS Oahu. The officers and men of the main battleship of the four Hawaiian fleets must have not gone through a major battle, and in such a smooth situation. After fighting for half an hour, Toyama and Yakumo still have the ability to fight back. As for the protective cruiser Suma, it was not able to take it.

On the contrary, the most brilliant fight in the whole battlefield was the navy of the old Beiyang, perhaps because the imperial court had always suppressed the officers and soldiers of the original Beiyang system, and the old Beiyang people after the First Day had not been able to participate in the foreign wars of the imperial court. The old Beiyang officers and soldiers in the Battle of Tsushima only went to guard and blockade Japan, and the only battle was to escort the 1st Marine Division to land in Busan. In the battle against the Netherlands, only a very small number of them participated. The officers and men of the new generation of navy first destroyed Japan, then fought Russia, and then pacified the Netherlands. But today, Deng Shichang first stormed the Japanese battleships and changed the tide of the war, and now it was time for them, the old Beiyangs, who were organized in the main fleet, to exert their might.

Liu Buchan's Haichen and Lin Taizeng's Haichou have an unparalleled tacit understanding between the two ships. In the first year of the First Wu Dynasty, the two of them joined forces to first severely damage the Japanese ship "Saikyo Maru", and then the two again joined forces to withstand the siege of five Japanese ships and seriously wounded the Japanese flagship "Matsushima". The two were trained together in England, the two went to Germany together to receive warships, and after more than ten years of training together, they finally became sons and daughters. When Haichen turned to break away from the formation, Lin Taizeng could feel that Liu Buyun was going to hit the Asahi, so he didn't have to wait for Haichen's telegram to explain, Lin Taizeng had already ordered Hai Chip to turn to the Asahi ship Asahi and head. Just after the two ships took aim at each other, they were able to fire round after round of salvos like one ship without telegraphing them, which shocked the officers and men of all levels on the two ships.

Lin Yongsheng's Ning Hai and Ye Zuqi's Jihai did not look for a Japanese heavy patrol of the same level as themselves, and aimed at the Mikasa on the reverse side. Although the heavy patrol can also fight against the battleship, the battleship must be more powerful than the heavy patrol in terms of armor and artillery. Lin Ye and the others didn't think about taking down Mikasa by themselves, the purpose of their maneuvering back and forth to attack Mikasa was to force Mikasa in the direction of Haichen Haichou. The old Beiyang people want to take all the credit for sinking the main Japanese battleship in their hands. Today, they want to make a name for themselves, and their old Beiyang is no worse than Wu Manzi.

Yes, they did. Before Long Yin and Long Xiao could take the Yashima, the ammunition depot of the Asahi secondary gun was hit by an armor-piercing shell fired by Haichen. The detonated ammunition tore a huge wound in Asahi's side and destroyed the internal structure. The frenzied rush of sea water passed through the unsealable isolation doors, causing the entire Asahi to pour at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Asahi is finished, and there is no need to waste any more shells. There was no need to send a telegram, Liu Buyun just gently turned the bow of the ship to change the course, and Lin Taizeng ordered to stop the shelling. So the two of them rushed towards the Mikasa, which was forced by the Ningji 2nd ship.

The Japanese desperately chose large-caliber heavy artillery in an attempt to enhance their superiority in firepower, but they also wanted to maintain their speed, so the United States made four American-made dumplings with thin skins and large fillings for Japan, and at this moment Japan finally tasted the consequences. The cap-piercing shells sent by the Qing army easily broke through the Mikasa's defenses, and almost all of the shells hit exploded inside the Mikasa's hull. The ammunition compartment without special protection could not escape the intensive shelling of the four Qing ships, and finally the explosion of the ammunition compartment in the bow of the Mikasa in the sixth minute of the siege of the four ships tore the hull in two, and sank to the bottom of the sea at a faster speed than Asahi. The four ships that had their hands free turned and pounced on the Yashima.

The Yashima, which was no longer able to break through, saw the explosion of Asahi and Mikasa, and also saw the four ships of the Laiqing Army that killed him. The captain of the Yashima, who could no longer withstand the pressure, finally ordered the muzzle of the gun to be zeroed and hung the white flag, but the former captain of the cargo ship had only been the captain of the battleship for three months, and he forgot that there was such a thing as a battleship and a sea valve. So the Yashima was captured intact.

The surrender of Yashima was the beginning of the end of this Battle of Arthur. The white flag of the Yashima was seen, and Azuma and Suma also hoisted the white flag, and the officers and sailors of the ship were gathering on the deck. Only the Fuji flew the white flag, but the entire ship was busy. Just because the captain of the ship, Jingchuan, still remembered that there was a sea lord on his ship, but the Qing army did not accept the surrender of the self-sinking battleship. When the Qing Hawaiian fleet approached the Fuji, Aikawa was still directing the sailors to drain the water and save the boat.

The once huge Japanese combined ships were once again defeated at the feet of the Qing State, and this was not the combined fleet that was destroyed by a sneak attack in the first year of the first year. This time he was defeated in a head-to-head battle, and Gonbei Yamamoto, who was already in the distance, was looking at the west stupidly from the Kongo. At 11:50 p.m., it was supposed to be the time when the Japanese fleet shelled Arthur, and at this time, off the coast of Arthur, Fuji, Yashima, Azuma, and Suma were welcoming the Qing sailors who received the battleships.

Cheng Cheng, who was discouraged in Lushun, had just shown his joy after receiving the naval battle telegram, but in a blink of an eye, he was worried about whether to inform the emperor as soon as possible. "We must protect the secrets of the radio." Cheng Cheng still decided to wait until the fleet returned, otherwise the countries would wonder why the fleet had not returned to the capital and the result of the naval battle. Radio, a military weapon of the Qing Dynasty, is not yet open to the public.

Cheng Cheng immediately took a pen and paper and turned around and entered the secret room, wrote a row of numbers in the codebook marked AAA with blood red, and then went out and handed it to the telegraph operator: "Send it to the secretariat immediately." (To be continued......)
