The war has been going on for three years, and the Chu army, the Hunan army, the Huai army, the multi-army, and the New Army of the Eight Banners ......, and Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Liu Changyou, and Duolong A ......, one after another enemies fell under the bayonets of the Qin army. The Manchus surrendered, and the whole country was about to be unified. Great Qin's army can be described as hard work, but what about their navy? What are you doing these days?

After Daqin's fleet had no opponents, was it just patrolling the sea frontier? Not really!

The Tunatu Islands in the South Sea, Sakhalin Island in the north, Okinawa Islands in the west, and Da Nang in Vietnam in the east, the four military bases on the periphery of the Chinese Navy's mainland are all under intense construction. In addition, there are Kaohsiung in Tainan, Zhanjiang and Sanduao in Lingnan, Zhoushan at the gate of Songhu, Qingdao in Shandong, Lushun in southern Liaoning, six major naval bases in China, and four overseas naval bases.

And when these 10 military bases of different sizes are built, the Chinese Navy will really have a home.

Otherwise, all the warships are parked in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Tianjin with an unobstructed view, what is that called? Liu Xian never expected to put a few warships on the bright side, so that he could deter European and American jackals. His thinking has always been that he should proceed from the military angles of actual combat and secrecy.

Although with the size of the Chinese Navy at the moment, ten military bases are really wasteful, and they can't be wasted anymore.

In the near future, the two Saxony-class ironclad ships will return to China, and the main base of the Nanyang Navy in Sanduao will also be officially launched, which will be a major event for the Chinese Navy. With these two big guys in. The British fleet in Hong Kong was really not a threat. The Chinese Navy will also become the No.1 in the Far East in the true sense of the word!

When the two second-class ironclad ships return to China next year, the Chinese fleet can be divided into two real fleets of considerable size and strength. Guarding China's North and South Oceans.

Then Liu Xian will sit back and wait for the development of the world's naval technology again, and will actively cooperate with Italy......

Although what the world will look like in ten years. Liu Xian couldn't see it clearly. The world is impermanent, and there are too many changes in the middle, which will affect China's roads. But if you can, the Navy will be silent until the second decade of the 19th century!

……

The southern tip of Sakhalin Island.

Atine Bay is the estuary of the Aniwa River, which is located in the north of Hokkaido, Japan, with a bay 104 kilometers wide, 90 kilometers long, and a maximum depth of 93 kilometers. The Sakhalin base of the Chinese Navy has been set up here, and it has been two years since the start of construction. It is also nearing the end of the construction process, although the area and facility specifications here are not comparable to Sanduao, and it is the smallest and most humble of the ten major naval bases.

But this was the beginning of the Qin army's footing on Sakhalin, and it was the first step for the Qin army to open up Sakhalin. Moreover, it was the construction of this small base and the arrival of the warships of the Chinese Navy that made the Russians nervous, and the warships of the Russian Far East Fleet in Vladivostok also sailed to the north of Sakhalin.

Thirty miles north of the Ating Bay Naval Base, a brand new town has sprung up. It is all new and small, with a population of less than 700 people. But this town has an atmospheric name - Sakhalin City! It was the first Chinese migration to Sakhalin.

Since the Qin army began to oppose the Qing Dynasty, the Tokyo government of Japan immediately threw off the shackles of its original body and changed its compromise attitude towards Russia in the past. Originally, they held that they would not let China have a good time if they could not get better, and they adopted a posture of compromise and even cooperation in response to the continuous southern invasion of the Russians. But look now. The government in Tokyo, Japan, saw an opportunity to take Birta's hands from scratch. Of course, the attitude toward Russia has changed from the past.

And the Japanese have indeed been disgusted by the Russians all these years. Playing tricks all day long, taking out a share of real money, I can't wait to get back ten benefits. Russia's contribution to the Japanese government in Tokyo was not even a tenth of that of Britain and France.

But with the complete victory of the Qin army over the Fujian raiders. The strength of the Qin fleet increased dramatically, and Japan's attitude changed again. They are no longer compromising with Russia. Rather, it completely liberalized the southern tip of Sakhalin. If it weren't for Qin Jun's quick response, Yatingwan's generation would have been taken down by Lao Maozi.

The Qin marines stationed two hundred men in Sakhalin City. With the power of Atinge Bay. Even the Russians drove the battleship over, and there was no pressure at all.

At this time, the strength of the Russian Far East Navy was still very weak, and it can even be said that they were more like an inland river fleet than like a naval fleet. The ironclad ships only have a thousand-ton old ship produced in the sixties that is similar to the Yangwei. The rest are frigates and gunboats, which are completely vulnerable compared to the main forces of the Chinese Navy.

A Qin army was marching across the field, fifty or sixty soldiers, plus a dozen wagons driven by a group of civilians. They were going to advance towards the Dolin River, and according to the scouts, the Russians frequently appeared on the north bank of the Dolin River, and it seemed that they wanted to make trouble again!

Since the Qin army entered Sakhalin, China and Russia have made several contacts, and they have reached a tacit understanding that the two sides are bounded by the Dolin River. To the south was the territory of the Qin army, and to the north was occupied by the Russians.

After receiving the news, Sakhalin did not dare to slack off, and after discussion, it was decided to send a reinforced squad to the banks of the Dolin River and set up a post on the banks of the Dolin River. This is to warn the old Maozi on the other side.

The boundless hills are unappetizing, and Ge Yang, the deputy of the squad who also plays the role of staff officer, helped his somewhat crooked military hat and repeatedly compared it on the scout's hand-drawn map. He was a cautious man, but he also had a good face, and he didn't want his entire army to get lost in the vast hilly fields because of his mistakes.

Zhu Pingshan was also a little irritable, he was not a good-tempered person. Otherwise, they would not have been thrown into the place of Sakhalin. That is because he offended people, and people are not easy to see like him as a small lieutenant, so he was simply sent to this 'isolated ghost place'.

In two years, Zhu Pingshan lost the opportunity to make contributions, and he still has a bronze star on his shoulder. Zhu Pingshan, who didn't have much hope for the future, became even more unscrupulous. That temper grows day by day, and when he says he is angry, he gets angry.

"Where are you now?" Zhu Pingshan ripped off the wind and discipline buckle on his military uniform and asked a little irritably.

Ge Yang carefully drew the hand-drawn map in his hand, "At present, we should be between the hills and the coastline about twenty miles away from the Duolin River, we should march in the southwest direction, and the current position may not be more than ten miles away from the coastline." "And the location of the outpost is more than twenty miles from the mouth of the Dolin River.

"That's about thirty miles?"

"That's the number!"

"We still have to go so far." Zhu Pingshan pondered to himself for a while, and then ordered: "The whole army will rest for an hour, and we will leave after resting." Mother's Hippie's. A mantra from his hometown came out of his mouth. Zhu Pingshan ordered the first squad leader to pay attention to vigilance, and the three squads were changed every 20 minutes.

The warriors had been marching for several hours, and by this time they were all a little tired. Everyone took out pickled dried fish, fried soybeans, and compressed dry food, and opened it in the kettle, chatting while eating and drinking. More than 30 civilians were busy feeding and watering the horses, and some soldiers were helping to help.

I rested for about twenty minutes. Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder in his ears, Zhu Pingshan looked up at the sky in surprise, the sky was clear, and it could be said that it was cloudless. Just in doubt, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind, I rub, where is this thunder, could it be the sound of cannons and explosions?! Turning his head around, he saw that Ge Yang was also looking at him with a suspicious expression.

Before the two of them could stand up, they saw a squad leader running over like a rabbit with his feet on the ground.

"Captain, captain, it's a group of old hairy people fighting a wave of natives."

"How many? Was the sound just now a cannon or a grenade? ”

"More than thirty. No cannons, it's grenades. ”

Zhu Pingshan raised his eyebrows, didn't even return the gift, and directly ordered the whole team to assemble. "Niang Xipi, south of the Dolin River is our territory. Lao Maozi dares to cross the border, they are the ones who stir up trouble! All of them, let's catch them! Destroy this group of old hairy people...... of majesty. ”

No matter how unscrupulous Zhu Pingshan was, he didn't dare to be really bold enough to provoke a bloody conflict between China and Russia without permission. So, just extinguish the prestige of the Russians. Even the Russians will not be held accountable for their private cross-border affairs. There are too many cross-border lands on both sides of the Duolin River.

As long as you don't stand on the other side, you can take a breath of Hugh. Even after Zhu Pingshan and their outpost are established, it will be like this.

Ten minutes later. When Zhu Pingshan and his soldiers appeared on the battlefield from behind a low hill in battle formation, the battle was nearing its end. There were only a dozen or twenty natives scattered and scattered, and more than fifty corpses lying on the ground. There were indeed not many Russians, and now they were scattered in small groups and were following behind. Then each team will be even smaller!

"Aim and hit. It doesn't matter how many you hurt, just don't kill you. Zhu Pingshan himself held a rifle and said while aiming. This is the old rule of the Sino-Russian conflict. Anyway, in Sakhalin, the undead are not bloodshed.

There was a sound of guns and reloads, and the soldiers looked forward intently. Lao Maozi was getting closer and closer, so close that he could even see the patterns on their messy uniforms.

The Russian garrison on Sakhalin was a forgotten character just like the exiles on the island, if it had not been for the Qin army that provoked the battle for Sakhalin in the past two years.

Many of the Russian soldiers did not even have a neat and tidy military uniform. The dress is very varied, and those who don't know think it's a group of militia or bandits. In other words, among the old hairy people in front of them, there are really Russian civilians who are helping.

The Russians on Sakhalin are not divided between soldiers and civilians. The only difference is that heavy firepower and bullets are completely in the hands of the military.

A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood. (To be continued......)
