Under the blue sea and blue sky, a speedboat is speeding through the waves.

In front of the deck, Wang Chenhao stood with a letter in his hand, looking at the sea and the sky with hope.

Before leaving, Li Hongzhang and other shogunate regiments marched for him, and the scene was not small. It's just that Wang Chenhao's mind and ears only echo with a person's voice and smile.

"Youyi is just a little woman, she doesn't ask about national affairs, she just hopes that you will triumph and be the wife of you. Youyi has a small heart, and she can't tolerate anyone other than you, if you don't return, Youyi has no intention of living. Remember! ”

Yang Youyi was unable to go to the dock in person due to feudal etiquette, but she handed over a letter to Wang Chenhao.

Yang Youyi in the letter is completely in the tone of a wife entrusting her husband, and no matter what country rises or falls, the war is won or lost, others can be responsible, but Wang Chenhao must come back alive.

There is a poem at the bottom of the letter. (PS/: The cruiser is self-created!) Don't boo after watching it...... ）

Youyi looks forward to the pavilion in the forest, smells the cinnamon fragrance in autumn and accompanies the plum in winter.

When the mountains and seas swear to be right, they will fight for the country and separate from each other.

The osmanthus flower is thanked 30,000 times, and the pavilion is decorated 5,000 times.

The earth is even more desolate, and the sea is dry and rotten.

In a few words, every word is beautiful, which shows Yang Youyi's deep affection for Wang Chenhao, which is equivalent to euphemistically forcing each other to death, forcing Wang Chenhao to return to her alive regardless of the victory or defeat of the war.

In addition to making Wang Chenhao love Yang Youyi more, I am afraid that it will not have any other effect, because for Wang Chenhao, although he has the ambition to serve the country, his loyalty to the Qing Empire is limited, and he has no determination to die.

In ancient times, a few people came back to fight, how could Wang Chenhao not know this truth! At this time, there is an unmarried wife in the family who is looking forward to it, how can he bear not to come back?

In the afternoon, Wang Chenhao and Yang Shixiang returned to Lushun. At the same time, the ships of the Beiyang Naval Division also rushed from Weihaiwei to converge. Deng Shichang handed over Wang Chenhao's Jiaolong to him intact.

Listening to Deng Shichang, Jiaolong will attract a large group of foreign devils to watch every day, if it weren't for Li Zhongtang's strict order to send heavy soldiers to guard, Deng Shichang's dozen or so personal soldiers would not be able to stop the foreign devils at all.

Wang Chenhao understood that the Jiaolong was now attracting more and more attention from the powers, and he had to find a way to hide it in the future.

"That's right! I heard that Chen Hao is deeply valued by Lord Zhongtang, what actions do we have this time? Reveal it to my brother! "Deng Shichang didn't know the sneak attack plan yet, but he knew some fur, so he asked.

Soon, Liu Buyun, Lin Taizeng, Ye Zugui and other generals of the water division next to him immediately surrounded and pricked up their ears.

Wang Chenhao was unwary of them, and was about to talk to them, but was stopped by Ding Ruchang.

Wang Chenhao saw that Ding Ruchang was fierce, and immediately stopped talking, and the others were bored and dispersed.

Ding Ruchang motioned to Wang Chenhao and Yang Shixiang to follow him into the conference room of the Navy Office, and no one else participated in the three of them, which immediately made all the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division dumbfounded, and secretly criticized Wang Chenhao for going to see Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang, and after coming back, his worth skyrocketed.

In the meeting room, the three of them discussed the specific plan in detail.

Before this, Ding Ruchang had received a secret letter from Li Hongzhang. In the past, he used to use telegraphs, but since Wang Chenhao claimed that he had colluded with foreign powers to secretly monitor the telegraph lines of the Qing Empire, Li Hongzhang was surprised and knew that this operation was related to the survival of the Beiyang Navy Division and his personal honor and disgrace, so he immediately switched to the traditional secret letter to issue orders.

The basic preparations have been arranged by Ding Ruchang, and the detailed battle plan was brought by Yang Shixiang with the documents.

Ding Ruchang looked at Wang Chenhao in surprise after seeing the plan, and couldn't sigh calmly: "No wonder Lord Zhongtang attaches so much importance and caution, this plan can be called a shocking action, and its boldness I am afraid I would not have thought of!" ”

Yang Shixiang said with a smile: "It's because this plan is so bold that even I don't dare to think about it, so I have a chance!" ”

Ding Ruchang nodded and said, "Lord Zhongtang has already put down his words!" We are the supporting role in this operation, Chen Hao is the protagonist, I listen to your arrangement! ”

How dare Wang Chenhao arrange Ding Ruchang? Even if Li Hongzhang said that, he couldn't really take it seriously!

"How dare you!" Wang Chenhao hurriedly said: "I'm just responsible for cleaning up the mines on the waterway, and the main thing has to be done by Lord Ding himself!" ”

Ding Ruchang smiled and nodded, it was undeniable that what he said just now was just a test of Wang Chenhao, after all, how could a huge Beiyang sailor let a twenty-year-old hairy boy command? Even if Li Hongzhang nodded, and Wang Chenhao was the great benefactor of the Beiyang Naval Division, he would not be able to command the Beiyang Naval Division with his qualifications. Of course, maybe Deng Shichang will listen to him, but others will definitely not be able to accept it easily.

"This operation is related to the survival of the Beiyang Naval Division, although I can command the Beiyang Naval Division to cooperate with the operation, but Chen Hao must be very sure! Can the mines in the channel be removed with confidence? ”

Wang Chenhao said: "I dare not say that I am very sure, because I have not dismantled mines!" ”

Ding Ruchang was shocked: "You haven't dismantled mines, can you?" In the event of a mine, not only will our plan fail, but you will also be in danger! ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "What Lord Ding said is right! I can learn how to dismantle mines, even if I can't dismantle them, it doesn't matter! With the detection ability of my Jiaolong alone, I can clearly know the specific depth and direction of the mine, and when the time comes, mark it on the channel, and you can walk around. ”

Ding Ruchang was surprised: "You have such a ability? ”

Wang Chenhao smiled proudly and said, "My lord, I don't believe that I can show you this!" ”

Ding Ruchang naturally had to make sure with his own eyes, otherwise he wouldn't dare to go crazy with Wang Chenhao.

In order to prevent someone from secretly leaking information to Wang Chenhao, Ding Ruchang temporarily changed the location of some mines in the channel.

After Wang Chenhao drove the Jiaolong to dive, he activated the sonar and ultrasonic underwater probes to detect the channel of Port Arthur, and further determined the size of the mines through the underwater imager, and soon marked the 123 mines on the main channel, and at the same time clearly marked the 72 mines on the backup channel inside and outside the port.

When Ding Ruchang compared Wang Chenhao's marker map with the marker map of the mine battalion, it was completely identical, especially the size of various mines, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now I'm relieved!" Ding Ruchang understood that the most difficult thing was how to dodge the mines that the enemy had laid on the waterway, and after solving this problem, the torpedo boats and warships that were attacking could be driven in.

However, this does not mean that everything will be fine with the surprise attack on Incheon Port, and there is still a difficult problem that needs to be solved.

The port of Incheon was a commercial port of the Kingdom of Korea, and there has never been a decent coastal defense fortification, and even if there is, it is in disrepair.

He had just occupied Korea, and on Wolmi Island, the only stronghold on the channel of Incheon Port, he built an improvised fort on the basis of the original Korean coastal defense fort, and sent 213 defenders to garrison it. The eight 200mm fortified guns they controlled could easily sink any warship in the fairway.

The threat is great, but that is Ding Ruchang's job, and Wang Chenhao can't help.

From time to time, the navy went to the vicinity of Port Arthur to provoke them, and the Beiyang Naval Division deliberately avoided fighting and showed weakness to the enemy.

The Golden Mountain Fort bombarded the sea with heavy artillery every time, forcing the warships not to get too close.

During the period, Wang Chenhao drove the Jiaolong to approach the ship from under the sea, dreaming of exploding the chrysanthemum of the enemy ship again, but it turned out that the anti-"explosion" net on the butt of the ship was riveted quite strongly, and Wang Chenhao couldn't do anything about her.
