The Beiyang Naval Division won the final victory, but it also suffered a lot of casualties.

The Beiyang Naval Division sank the armored cruiser Pingyuan, the protective cruiser Jingyuan, the ramming cruiser Yangwei, the ramming cruiser Chaoyong, and the ironwaki-hulled cruiser Guangjia, a total of 5 warships.

The torpedo cruiser Guang B and the torpedo cruiser Guang C were seriously damaged and needed major repairs before they could go to sea again.

The flagships Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Jingyuan, Laiyuan, Jiyuan, and Zhiyuan also suffered losses in different ways, but they did not affect their combat effectiveness.

The Beiyang Naval Division's own team was killed in battle, and Wu Jingrong, the commander of the Guangjia ship, was killed, with more than 500 officers and men killed and more than 200 wounded, and its strength dropped by at least a quarter.

The First Fleet of the Naval Academy sank the torpedo cruiser Chaohai and the torpedo cruiser Yanghai, and although the six main warships of the other First Fleet also suffered different losses, they did not affect their combat effectiveness.

The Second Fleet of the Naval Academy sank the coastal armored cruisers Changhai and Ruihai, and the old ironclad ship Yunhai was seriously injured and could no longer go to sea to fight without overhaul! The other 6 warships of the main force of the Second Fleet are also not in big trouble!

Lin Daxin didn't care about the 440 warships that were killed and injured in the Naval Academy, and the 4 warships that sank with relatively backward performance were killed, but what made Lin Daxin feel distressed was the 540 naval cadets of the Naval Academy who died in battle!

The Beiyang Naval Division captured 5 enemy ships, among which the Japanese Yoshino, a high-speed protective cruiser with a top speed of 23 knots. 4 Italian ironclad battleships were captured, the Durio with a capacity of 12,264 tons, the Enrico with a displacement of 12,461 tons, the Italian with a displacement of 15,407 tons, and the Lepanto with a displacement of 15,900 tons. These 4 Italian ironclad battleships can all be barely classified as pre-dreadnought-class battleships, with strong firepower and thick armor. None of these five warships were seriously damaged, and after the Beiyang Naval Division owned these five warships, it was much stronger than before the Yellow Sea War.

On September 17, 1894, the warships of the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships of the Beiyang Naval Division and the Second Fleet of the First Fleet of the Naval Academy, as well as the five warships that had been captured, returned to Weihaiwei Port in a mighty manner.

At this time, Weihaiwei gathered the residents of the Weihai Acropolis, the Qing soldiers in the Weihai Acropolis, the army cadets of the Sailor School, and the workers of Lin Daxin's factory, adding up to nearly 70,000 or 80,000 people who came to the port to welcome the Beiyang Naval Division who returned victoriously!

"It's back!" Someone shouted in surprise.

"Look! Why are there so many big warships? Someone asked in surprise.

Someone immediately replied to him: "Are you from Weihaiwei?" I don't know if those are the fleets of the Beiyang Naval Academy! That was bought by Lord Lin, the general manager of the Water Master Academy, at his own expense! ”

Then someone shouted, "Oh my God! Look at the 4 warships over there, why are they so big! It's bigger than the Dingyuan ship and the Zhenyuan ship! ”

An old man sighed: "How long has it been since our Qing Dynasty had such a big victory? It's not easy! ”

A middle-aged man chimed in and said, "Yes! I heard the sailors who came back yesterday say that in this naval battle with little Japan, there were also Western powers that sent giant ships to help little Japan! Let our Beiyang sailors win the battle! ”

A young man wearing the army uniform of the Sailor Academy proudly said to the old man and the middle-aged man: "Look! The 4 giant ships over there are the giant ships of the Western powers! Now I have been captured by the navy of our Sailor Academy! ”

When the whole port saw the fleet coming from afar, it suddenly exploded, and the people in the port looked excitedly at so many warships and talked about it.

After the warship docked, "Beiyang!" "Beiyang!" "Beiyang!" …… The two words were shouted by 70,000 or 80,000 people at the same time!

The officers and men on the warship all stood on the deck, and when they heard 70,000 or 80,000 people chanting the word Beiyang, they also shouted excitedly!

At this time, in the bridge of the Dingyuan ship, Lin Daxin was not on the Xinghai, but accompanied Ding Ruchang in the bridge of the Dingyuan ship.

Other officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division in the bridge also excitedly shouted "Beiyang" and "Beiyang!" "Beiyang!" ……

Even Lin Daxin excitedly shouted the word Beiyang, and kept waving his fists! Lin Daxin was really excited at this time, since he got the ring that could travel to modern time and space, he knew about the First Sino-Japanese War in modern time and space, and he worked hard to make all kinds of war preparations, and now he has finally changed the Dadonggou Naval Battle that decided the fate of China in history!

Especially because of Lin Daxin, the Japanese Combined Fleet was much stronger than in history, and 4 powerful Italian ironclad battleships also came to stir up the situation, but in the end, the fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division and the Naval Academy won the final victory! Let Lin Daxin be very excited!

Ding Ruchang wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said to Lin Daxin, who was still waving his fist and his face had turned ruddy because of loud cheers: "Pingshi! Let's go down! ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said, "Uncle Ding! You go ahead! ”

At the front of the port, a group of people wearing Qing court official uniforms saw Ding Ruchang and Lin Daxin and others coming down from the Dingyuan ship, and immediately stepped forward, and the officials at the front said with a smile on their faces: "Yin Liu Quan of the Weihai Weifu Mansion of Xiaguan congratulates the Admiral on the defeat of the Japanese invaders in the naval battle!" Xiaguan prepared a little wine and food in the Weihai Acropolis to celebrate the victory of the Beiyang Navy Division for the Admiral! ”

Ding Ruchang said politely: "It all depends on the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy!" Liu Fuyin bothered! ”

At this time, a beautiful figure ran over, "Dad! Xiaolinzi! You're back! I can't sleep when I'm worried! "This is Ding Ruchang's daughter Ding Xueshan.

Lin Daxin was even happier when he saw Ding Xueshan: "Xueshan, you see that we have captured 5 warships, and 4 of them are ironclad battleships of Italy, a Western naval power!" Look at those 4 ships! It is much bigger than Dingyuan and Zhenyuan of the Beiyang Naval Division! Lin Daxin pointed at the four Italian ironclad battleships.

Ding Xueshan looked at the four Italian warships and said in surprise: "It's really big!" Xiaolinzi, take me to see it! ”

Lin Daxin nodded again and again and said, "Okay!" I'll take you to the Italian warships right now! ”

After saying that, Lin Daxin and Ding Xueshan ignored the many officials and admiral Ding Ruchang in the port, and the two of them walked towards the 4 Italian ironclad battleships with a smile.

Ding Ruchang looked at Lin Daxin and Ding Xueshan and smiled helplessly, and said to Yin Liuquan of Weihai Mansion: "The little girl is stubborn! Liu Fuyin, don't be surprised! ”

Liu Quan said with a smile: "Miss Ding is lively and cute, innocent, and even more charming!" Blessed are the Admirals! Could it be that the young talent just now was Lord Lin Daxin, the general manager of the Weihai Weishui Academy? ”

Ding Ruchang smiled and said, "That's that kid!" If this kid hadn't bought a lot of warships at his own expense in this naval battle, our Beiyang Naval Division would have won the battle this time! If you don't get it right, you might all be wiped out! ”

Liu Quan's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he quickly hid it and praised him: "This Lord Lin and Miss Ding are really talented and beautiful!" Talented and beautiful! Ding Ruchang's old face smiled with more wrinkles.

Liu Quan was followed by a group of officials, one of whom looked at the backs of Lin Daxin and Ding Xueshan with vicious eyes! But then he hid his gaze and walked towards the city with Ding Ruchang, Liu Quan and many officials.
