Chapter 30 Ding Ruchang prepares for war
The guards who tortured the assassin soon came to Lin Daxin's side and whispered to Lin Daxin about the results of the torture, Lin Daxin's eyes suddenly burst into anger, he didn't expect that it was the Japanese who wanted to kill him, and before the first day, the Japanese jumped out.
At this time, outside the pharmacy, the cadets of the naval discipline had already blocked several streets near the pharmacy under the leadership of Jiang Chen and Chen Ming, Jiang Chen and Chen Ming walked into the pharmacy, saw Lin Daxin, and saluted and said, "Principal!" The vicinity of the pharmacy has been blocked by the cadets of our naval discipline! ”
Lin Daxin nodded, very satisfied with the appearance of these Sailor Academy students at the moment of crisis, and said to Jiang Chen and Chen Ming: "These assassins have been identified, they are Japanese spies in the Qing Dynasty, and the Japanese also have a stronghold in the Weihai Acropolis called Leshantang, which is a pharmacy, you send someone to bring that Leshantang to me!"
Jiang Chen and Chen Ming shouted loudly: "Yes! Headmaster! Then the two sent two teaching team students to take 100 ordinary students to the Leshan Hall in the Weihai Acropolis.
After a while, Wu Peifu and Zhao Hu led tens of thousands of students from the army discipline to enter the Weihai Acropolis, and with the students of the naval discipline, they almost controlled the entire Weihai Acropolis!
There was also a garrison of the Qing army's green battalion in the Weihai Acropolis, but in the face of a large number of people, well-armed, and murderous sailor academy students, the green battalion soldiers in the city did not go out of the barracks at all. Even the green battalion soldiers, who were originally in charge of the city's defense, quietly returned to the barracks.
Lin Daxin felt that although he was assassinated, it was easy to keep his tongue if the movement was too big, so after the naval cadets reported to him that the Leshan Hall in the Weihai Acropolis had been emptied, Lin Daxin ordered the naval cadets to withdraw to Weihaiwei Port.
Lin Daxin took Ding Xueshan and the students of the army discipline in a carriage and withdrew from the Weihai Acropolis and returned to the Sailor School in Beigou Village.
When she arrived at the Sailor Academy, Ding Xueshan was going to get off the carriage by herself, but Lin Daxin picked up Ding Xueshan at once, carried her all the way to her bedroom, and put Ding Xueshan on her bed.
Ding Xueshan's pale face, which was originally due to injury, leaked a trace of ruddy, and said in a coquettish tone: "Oops! Xiao Linzi, I have an arm injury! There are no injuries to my legs and feet, and you are holding me in front of so many people, how embarrassing! You students should laugh at me! ”
Lin Daxin said with concern: "Xueshan, does the wound still hurt?" You have shed so much blood, how can you walk, of course I have to hold you! ”
Ding Xueshan saw Lin Daxin's concerned look, although his arm was still very painful, but his heart was warm, and he said in a coquettish voice: "My arm is much better!" Don't worry, Xiaolinzi! Didn't the doctor also say that there was no big problem! ”
Lin Daxin said guiltily: "Xueshan, I have burdened you today!" Those Japanese were going to kill me today! ”
Ding Xueshan asked curiously, "The Japanese want to kill you?" Why? Kobayashi, how did you provoke the Japanese! ”
Lin Daxin explained: "Xue Shan, you don't know, the Japanese have been developing armaments in recent years, and they are eyeing us in the Qing Dynasty, and now I am running a factory and buying warships, which must have become a thorn in the side of the Japanese, and the Japanese sent spy killers to get rid of me!" ”
Ding Xueshan blinked her eyes and said, "The Japanese are too bad!" Kobayashiko, I'll ask my father to send troops to beat the Japanese when the time comes! But will the Japanese send someone to kill you in the future? Why don't I ask my dad to send you some great guards? ”
Hearing Ding Xueshan's words of concern for him, Lin Daxin involuntarily held Ding Xueshan's uninjured hand, and said softly with relief: "I will bring more people when I go out in the future, the Japanese can't kill me!" ”
Just as Lin Daxin and Ding Xueshan were talking sweetly, a guard trainee reported that Ding Ruchang, the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, had come to the Naval Academy. Lin Daxin hurriedly went out to greet Ding Ruchang, and then invited Ding Ruchang to his bedroom.
Ding Ruchang received a report from the Weihai Weifu and knew that his daughter and Lin Daxin had encountered an assassin, so he hurriedly arrived by boat from Liugong Island. I was relieved to know that my daughter was only slightly injured.
Ding Ruchang saw his daughter lying on the bed and said distressedly: "Girl, does the wound still hurt?" ”
Ding Xueshan saw her father coming, and was afraid that her father would blame Lin Daxin, so she immediately said, "Dad, I'm fine!" It's just that the bullet is bruised! ”
Ding Ruchang turned back to Lin Daxin and said, "Do you know who did it?" ”
Lin Daxin looked at Ding Ruchang's gloomy face: "It's the Japanese who want to kill me!" But Xue Shan was affected! 3 Japanese people were caught on the spot! ”
When Ding Ruchang heard that it was Japanese, he thought that Lin Daxin must have bought 8 warships, doubling the strength of the Beiyang Naval Division, and making the Japanese hold a grudge against Lin Daxin.
Ding Ruchang snorted coldly: "Little Japan, it's really too deceitful, Pingshi!" You hand over those 3 Japanese to the old man, and the old man wants to ask the Japanese for justice! ”
Lin Daxin nodded in agreement, and then Ding Ruchang took the injured Ding Xueshan and 3 Japanese assassins to leave the Sailor Academy and return to the Admiral's Mansion.
However, Ding Ruchang did not seek any justice from the Japanese, and on the night that the three Japanese assassins were taken back to the Admiral's Mansion by Ding Ruchang, they were poisoned and killed! The admiral Ding Ruchang was furious, and in his heavily guarded admiral's mansion, almost under the nose of his own admiral, he could kill people and kill people, so that Ding Ruchang, the admiral, felt that the Japanese had great powers.
Ding Ruchang immediately asked people to strictly investigate the personnel of the Admiral's Mansion, and really found out two spy traitors who were bribed by the Japanese from the Admiral's Mansion.
The Japanese flatly denied that the assassination of Lin Daxin was done by Japan, and the assassin was killed, so the last assassination incident could not be changed.
However, Ding Ruchang finally saw clearly the wolf ambitions of the Japanese, began to rectify the Beiyang Naval Division, and stepped up preparations for war.
Lin Daxin also took this account to heart, and he will calculate it with the Japanese in the future!
Originally, Ding Ruchang just wanted to prepare for war and didn't have any money, so preparing for war could only be a mirage, just talking. But now it's different, Ding Ruchang has the support of Lin Daxin, a rich man, and preparing for war is not an empty word!
The shipyard that Lin Daxin purchased from the British had already been built, and the shipyard did not start building ships immediately, but began to repair the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division.
Moreover, Lin Daxin purchased the equipment of the four factories from modern time and space, one of which is the equipment of the shipyard, and Lin Daxin strengthened the equipment of the shipyard purchased from modern time and space to the British shipyard, which made the shipbuilding capacity and technology of this shipyard have undergone earth-shaking changes.
In a short period of time, two docks of 10,000 tons and four docks of 5,000 tons were built. And the construction of new docks is continuous.
Originally, because the Dingyuan ship and the Zhenyuan ship have been in service for many years, the boilers have not been repaired, so that the speed of the two ironclad ships has dropped by several knots, and the speed of the Dingyuan ship can reach 14.5 knots when it is first put into service, and now the maximum can only reach a little more than 12 knots. When the Zhenyuan ship was first put into service, it could reach a speed of 15.4 knots, and now the maximum speed is less than 13 knots.
In Lin Daxin's shipyard, British technicians took the workers recruited by Lin Daxin to repair the boilers of the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships, and removed the attachments on the bottom of the two ironclad ships. The speed of the repaired Dingyuan ship reached 14 knots, and the speed of the Zhenyuan ship reached 14.8 knots.
The warships of the other Beiyang Naval Division have also been repaired in the shipyard, so that the speed of these warships has been improved differently than before!
Lin Daxin also purchased a large number of new shells for various types of naval guns from German foreign companies, and in addition to using them for the training ship fleet of his own naval academy, he also purchased a large number of naval artillery shells for the Beiyang Naval Division.
