Lin Daxin is also the master of the army commanding more than 200,000 people, although he was reluctant to give up on Du Juan's beautiful influence, but he immediately calmed down his mentality, and said with a smile to Du Juan: "Sister Du family, you can rest assured to live in Weihaiwei, as long as I am here, Bian Baoquan, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, can't do anything to you!" ”

Du Juan looked at Lin Daxin's smiling appearance, her face was a little ruddy, Lin Daxin inherited the advantages of his father and mother, grew a handsome and handsome face, plus regular exercise, his figure was tall and burly, and with a deterrent temperament of a superior person, he could definitely be called a girl killer!

Originally, Mrs. Li revealed to Du Juan her intention to make her a daughter-in-law, but now Du Juan sees such a handsome Lin Daxin, and Lin Daxin drove away the old ** Bian Baoquan faction as soon as he made a move, so that Du Juan looked at Lin Daxin and felt like a deer was colliding with him.

Du Juan replied shyly to Lin Daxin: "Thank you, brother of the Lin family!" ”

Mrs. Li looked at her son Lin Daxin's appearance towards Du Juan, and saw Du Juan's shyness, she was secretly happy in her heart, and then asked, "Daxin, did you buy the yard?" ”

Then Lin Daxin said to his mother: "Mother! The yard has been bought! I asked Li Bo to take people and add some furniture and other things to the newly bought yard, so that I can live in it tomorrow! Today, my mother and grandma will deal with it here for a night! ”

Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good! Spend the night here today! Daxin will cook a few dishes for you in a while! ”

At this time, Lin Daxin's grandmother answered: "Let Du Juan also cook a few dishes for my eldest grandson to taste!" Du Juan's girl has made a good dish! ”

Mrs. Li and Grandma Lin Daxin glanced at each other understandingly, and Mrs. Li said, "Isn't it! Du Juan's cooking is several cuts better than mine! Du Juan, you can make a few specialty dishes in a while, let your Lin brother taste them! ”

Du Juan nodded and said, "Okay, Aunt Li!" Then I will be ugly in front of the Lin family's brother! After speaking, he secretly glanced at Lin Daxin with flattering eyes. Du Juan's family runs a restaurant, she has cooked a good dish since she was a child, and she is still very confident in her cooking skills.

At this time, far away in Shengjing in Liaodong, Shengjing's guards Yi Ketang'a, Qingyu, Zhang Xiluan, Nie Shicheng and others gathered together.

As the commander-in-chief of Shengjing City's defense, Yi Ketanga said: "Now that I, Shengjing, have gathered 100,000 troops, and the imperial court has also sent us additional grain, grass, materials, weapons and ammunition, the queen mother, the emperor, and the entire imperial court are looking at us here!" Shengjing is the land of our Manchu dragon, and we must not lose it! Next, General Qingyu will announce the city defense that each ministry is responsible for! ”

Shengjing General Qingyu stood up, pointed to the Shengjing City defense map hanging on the wall and said: "The Japanese army is now concentrated in Benxi City, and the focus of the Japanese army's attack is likely to be in Nancheng, and the key to the defense of Nancheng is Hunhe Fort on the south bank of the Wuli River!" Now order Nie Zongbing to lead 5,000 elites of the old Huai army, plus 10,000 newly recruited Huai troops, to be responsible for the defense of Hunhe Fort and Shengjing South City! ”

Nie Shicheng stood up, and said with an unchanged face: "I will not let the Japanese army step across the Wuli River!" ”

Shengjing General Qingyu continued: "In the east of the city, General Ben led the original Shengjing's 7,000 defenders and 10,000 green battalions to defend it! The north of the city was defended by 15,000 green battalions led by Zhang Xiluan, the minister of training in the northeast, and the west of the city was guarded by General Zhang Xin, who led the green battalions to Shengjing to support, and the troops guarding the west of the city were 15,000 green battalions! ”

Zhang Xiluan and Zhang Xin stood up and took orders one after another.

Iktanga stood up and said, "The commander will lead 3,000 men and horses from the headquarters, 10,000 newly recruited Huai troops, and 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry in the center of the city!" This commander can tell you that Ye Zhichao, the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Pyongyang, was the first to flee because he was afraid of the Japanese army, causing the Pyongyang army to be in turmoil, and finally lost Pyongyang City, and has been imprisoned by the imperial court! ”

The generals looked at each other and no one spoke, Ye Zhichao really deserved it!

Iktanga continued: "If Shengjing is occupied by the Japanese army, there may be no one who can escape the heavy responsibility of the imperial court!" So this marshal asks everyone! People are in the city, and the city is ruined and people are dying! ”

Dozens of Qing army generals such as Qingyu, Zhang Xiluan, Nie Shicheng, and Zhang Xin stood up at the same time and shouted: "People are in the city, and people are destroyed in the city!" ”

And in Benxi City, the commander of the Japanese Northern Route Army, the commander of the 1st Division, Lieutenant General Yamachi Motoji, was also holding a meeting.

The 1st and 7th Divisions of the Japanese Army of the Northern Route Army had only 35,000 men when the two divisions of 40,000 people arrived at Benxi City after a series of major battles, but when the two sides ceased fighting in Liaodong Heavy Snow, the Japanese base camp not only made up the shortfall of the 1st and 7th Divisions of the Japanese Army, so that the two divisions and regiments reached 40,000 again, but also mobilized the newly built 11th Division of the Army to supplement the North Route Army attacking Shengjing, making the Japanese army on the North Route reach 60,000 people in three divisions.

The commander of the 1st Division, Motoji Yamachi, stood in front of dozens of officers of the 3rd division and above and read out an order aloud: "Officers and men of the Imperial Japanese Army! The base camp has already given an order to our Northern Route Army, and when the spring flowers bloom, we will immediately attack Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty! After capturing Shengjing, the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army were allowed to revel for 7 days! ”

Dozens of officers of the 3 divisions and regiments above the rank of Dazuo were allowed to carnival for 3 days after the capture of Shengjing, and everyone's eyes gave off a light like a beast!

Dozens of officers shouted: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Long live the Imperial Japanese Army! ”

The 2nd Division, 3rd Division, 8th Division, and 9th Division of the Japanese South Route Army attacking the Lushun base of the Beiyang Naval Division, after the Battle of Jinzhou, the bloody Japanese Army retreated to Pulandian, and the 4 divisions were left with less than 70,000 people. A heavy artillery brigade equipped with 40 newly purchased British 127mm howitzers was also transferred to the Southern Route Army, so that Lushun's Dingbei Army would face a heavy group of more than 100,000 Japanese troops.

In this way, together with the re-replenishment of the 6th and 10th Divisions of the Japanese Army guarding Korea and the banks of the Yalu River, the Japanese army has invested 200,000 troops in 10 divisions in Korea and Liaodong.

At present, the Qing Dynasty only has 100,000 defenders in Shengjing in Liaodong, more than 54,000 people in the three integrated divisions of the Dingbei Army in the Lushun base, and the defenders in Liaodong and even the rest of the entire Fengtian Province are almost negligible, and the Japanese army has obvious advantages!

But the Qing Dynasty is a big country in the East with an army of nearly one million after all, and the Qing court mobilized 80,000 horses from Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and other places to go to the first line of Shanhaiguan, plus the original defenders of the first line of Shanhaiguan, so that the strength of the first line of Shanhaiguan has also reached 10 people!

Moreover, the imperial court gathered nearly 60,000 troops in the Zhili area, and the defenders of Beijing City also had 40,000 troops, and they were also preparing to transfer troops to Zhili and Beijing City from the south!

Although the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy was snatched away by Lin Daxin's marines like a fantasy, the other 19 warships purchased from the United Kingdom, plus the original 9 warships of the combined fleet, made the main warships of the combined fleet reach 28, with a total displacement of 195,000 tons.

The officers and men of the Japanese Navy of the Japanese Combined Fleet were training on the warships day and night, preparing for another decisive battle with the Beiyang Naval Division to avenge the defeat in the Yellow Sea!

Lin Daxin's Sailor Academy First Fleet added 2 powerful ironclad battleships, these 2 captured Japanese warships, the Canglong was renamed the Flying Fox, and the Tianlong was renamed the Flying Leopard, making the First Fleet have 6 ironclad battleships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons.

The naval personnel of the Naval Academy are also stepping up their familiarization with warships and training hard to prepare for another challenge from the Japanese Combined Fleet.

The main fleet of the Navy of the Naval Academy, including the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Lushun Garrison Fleet, has a total of 19 main warships with a total displacement of 148,000 tons.

The main fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division includes the captured Yoshino and the repaired two torpedo cruisers with a displacement of only 1,000 tons, Guangyi and Guangbing, a total of 9 main warships with a total displacement of 31,000 tons

In terms of displacement, the Japanese Combined Fleet had an advantage over the entire Beiyang Naval Division, but in terms of the performance of warships, the Beiyang Naval Division had an advantage.

Both the Qing Dynasty and Japan were almost ready, just waiting for the spring to bloom, and then a decisive battle that would decide the fate of the two countries.
