On February 23, 1895, the Republic of Seris began to issue a second batch of conscription orders for domestic reservists, adding 9 divisions to the original 15 integrated divisions of the army.

Following Chen Zeyu's speech on the declaration of war to all the people of Seris on Victory Square, there was once again a wave of people joining the army and fighting in various parts of the Republic.

The people's armed forces departments of various cities had no choice but to recruit a group of soldiers from among them. In addition to the seven divisions that had been recruited before, the Republic Army suddenly added more than 350,000 new troops, and in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of these new units as much as possible, the War Department remixed the previous several old units with these dozen or so newly built divisions.

In addition to the soldiers, the weapons and equipment of the newly organized units have long been prepared, and at this time, the formation of various units is like a fixed program, and the people's armed forces departments and general armament departments in various localities have suddenly begun to operate like huge machines.

One by one, the reservists went to the designated military stations or people's armed forces departments in various places to concentrate according to the instructions of their superiors, and then began to receive new uniforms, individual weapons, and equipment in turn. Squads, platoons, companies, battalions, brigades, and divisions were quickly organized according to a fixed base number. After that, relying on the developed railways and shipping in China, the newly built troops began to arrive at the assembly barracks of the Sizhejiang Military Sub-district according to the predetermined route.

As of March 5, the second batch of nine newly built integrated divisions had also been formed, and the soldiers were basically from the best of the past two million reservists. In this way, with the addition of the original 15 integrated divisions of the Republic Army, the Republic Army at this time has reached 24 divisions and a strong strength of 552,000 troops.

On 12 March, just as the first batch of landed army units conquered Taiwan, the second batch of nearly 140,000 army units from six divisions of Seris also began to be loaded and shipped from Sizhejiang Port.

Everything was as meticulous as planned, and groups of troops left the port on ships according to the predetermined schedule, and the busyness showed that the various military and political departments of the republic were well coordinated.

At this time, the wharves of various ports of the republic were already filled with naval transports waiting for the follow-up landing force.

In order to speed up the rush of troops, Seris recruited a large number of passenger and cargo ships from the civilian sector for the first time. In the midst of such a busyness, batches of fully reorganized divisions of the Republic began to step on transport ships and sail to the battlefield.

According to the plan, the republic will eventually leave only four integrated divisions in the country for the remaining mission, and the remaining 20 divisions and 460,000 powerful troops will be released in the future Asian battlefield!

On March 15, the 303rd Brigade of the Seris Army, with the cooperation of naval ships, made a lightning attack on Hainan Island in the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, the 4th and 5th Divisions of the first batch of landing troops of the Republic were also not to be outdone, and showed no inferior combat effectiveness, and captured Shaoguan and Guilin, the northernmost parts of the Liangguang provinces, on the evening of 17 March.

In fact, it cannot be said that these places were completely defeated by the armed forces of various units, and at noon on the 17th, Tang Jingsong, the former governor of Taiwan, cut off the braid on the back of his head in public outside Taipei Prefecture and announced the change of banner. Later, under the leadership of Liu Yongfu, the former Black Flag Army, and other anti-Qing figures, the officials and people of Taiwan's county governments, which had long been abandoned by the Qing government, also raised their flags in response.

In this way, Taiwan, Penghu, and Hainan successively announced their accession to the Republic of Seris.

There was no time to heed his protests and threats on the Taiwan issue, and a few days later, Seris's landing army began to open up new landing battlefields along the coasts of Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shandong. The latter batch of reinforcements also began to land in Liangguang to support the troops of the two previous integrated divisions in their offensive in the northern depths.

At the same time, Seris's naval forces also began to act, and from ten years ago to the present, Seris's navy has developed into a powerful naval fleet with a total displacement of more than 300,000 tons consisting of seven "Luzon" class battleships, 19 "Taiwan" class armored cruisers, and a large number of small and medium-tonnage gunboats, torpedo ships, and submarines. Not only did its strength far surpass that of the Qing Dynasty in the Far East Sea, but the navies of the two countries, even the Far East fleets of Tsarist Russia and Britain, could no longer compete with it.

By 20 March, most of the surface ships of Seris's navy, except for two Luzon-class battleships and a large number of submarines to guard the mainland, had been sent to the north to escort the Republic's land landing force and to carry out artillery cover tasks for the main landing battlefields.

Until the end of the war, these naval warships will cruise between the South China Sea and the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.

At this time, on an open-air slipway at the Avalanche shipyard in Sizhejiang, the Republic's first newest Ryukyu-class battleship "Dreadnought" was about to be launched......

On March 26, 1895, the Beiyang Naval Division Base in Weihaiwei, Shandong Province, Qing Dynasty

Last year, there was a naval battle of Incheon in the Qing Dynasty, and the naval division was finally a draw with Yue himself under the command of Admiral Ding Ruchang, and the officers and soldiers of the naval division were rewarded by the imperial court together with the general order.

Although the Beiyang Naval Division suffered heavy losses, the surviving officers and soldiers, such as Liu Buyun, Lin Taizeng, Fang Boqian, Huang Jianxun, Lin Luzhong, Wu Jingrong, etc., were all ambitiously waiting to sail into battle again. Soon after, the imperial court in Korea, Liaodong's war situation was continuously defeated, and the Beiyang minister Li Hongzhang was soon dismissed, and Ding Ruchang was also removed from his post as soon as he was affected. The new commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, Wang Wenshao, knew nothing about warships, and politically he was a hardcore conservative, and no one cared about the damaged warships in the military port like this. And the new sailor assistant Rong Lu is not a good stubble, it has only been a few days since he came to the sailor, and the cannonballs, coal, official silver, and machines in the manufacturing office in the warehouse have almost been coveted by these individuals.

Since these two men took office, several ships of the sailor division have never gone to sea again, so naturally there is no talk of repairing those damaged warships. Looking at the increasingly rusty hulls of the two ships in Dingzhen in the harbor, several sailors felt sad.

At this time, Sheng Xuanhuai, the former Minister of Beiyang Customs Supervision, came to the door......

In the evening of March 26, inside a fort in Weihaiwei

The interior of the fort, which was supposed to be controlled by lights, was a brightly lit scene at this time, and most of the Beiyang Naval Divisions that survived the naval battle were all gathered here today.

"Presumably everyone understands what I mean now," Sheng Xuanhuai looked at the sailors around him, "I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

"Agreed!"

"Under the approval!"

"It's just someone else, Mr. Sheng's words are trustworthy, this kind of Lao Tzu has long been enough!"

Most of the pipe bands such as Wu Jingrong, Qiu Baoren, Lan Jianshu and others responded loudly, even Lin Zengtai, the pipe band of the Zhenyuan ship, also nodded slightly in agreement, and some others were silent under the influence of Liu Buchan, the deputy commander of the naval division.

"What does Brother Zixiang mean?" Sheng Xuanhuai also knew that this matter had to win Liu Buyun's support to be done, so he looked at the other party and asked.

Liu Buyun didn't speak, but kept stroking the head of the dog Moon lying on the ground with his right hand, and the atmosphere in the fort became depressing.

"Brother Xingsun! Do you know where the Seris fleet has gone? After a long time, Liu Buyun finally spoke up.

"Well, when you contacted me, Jeju Island in the south of Korea had already been captured by its naval fleet, and now I'm afraid it's almost in Bohai Bay." Sheng Xuanhuai thought for a while and said.

"Count me in" Liu Buyun stood up and looked at the few behind him, "According to the current situation, even if I intend to resist, how many of our warships can leave the port?!" Since this court is no longer worthy of allegiance, then overthrow it! After Liu Buyun finished speaking, he walked out.

"Lao Tzu is the opposite!! ――”

"It's the other way around!! ――”

"It's the other way around!! ――”

……

On March 27, 1895, Weihaiwei's Beiyang Naval Fleet suddenly revolted under the leadership of Deputy Admiral Liu Buyun. During the uprising, Wang Wenshao, the new commander of the Naval Division, was captured, and the assistant Rong Lu was killed by the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division in the chaos because of the slightest resistance.

On 28 March, the Fourth Detachment of the Seris Navy was stationed in the Weihaiwei Military Port.

Soon, the fortifications, manufacturing offices, and sailors on the north and south banks of the harbor were all taken over by the Seris officers and men of the fleet, and all the forts and fortresses in Liugong Island, Yuedao, Huangdao and other places were also occupied by his soldiers without blood......
