Yang Hao first asked to visit the "Dingyuan Ship".

Liu Buyun was actually very unhappy to let a businessman get on his ship. This is not to say that he pays special attention to secrecy--- what guns and what performance of the second ship of Dingzhen are basically known, including the Japanese.

In these years, the Great Qing Kingdom did not have much sense of secrecy from top to bottom. However, who asked Yang Hao to send him the most urgent and valuable high-explosive grenade, and solved the problem of replacing the rapid-fire cannon for them, plus with Li Hongzhang's license, he could only agree.

promised to agree, but his face kept stretching very long, like a cloudy day, and he didn't smile at all. On the contrary, it was Taylor, the British deputy driver, who was particularly interested in this strange guy who appeared out of thin air. Especially the matter of being able to replace rapid-fire guns, there is evil inside and out, and he has always wondered how the Chinese did it.

It's just that the people who came out of Yang Hao have always had the strings of "secrecy" in their heads. The entire construction process, including the equipment lifted up, is strictly forbidden for any outsiders to see. Diesel generators, electric welding machines, acetylene cutting or something, there are special boxes to carry in and out, foreign devils want to know? There are no doors!

Yang Hao came, and the British thought that there was an opportunity, including the other Germans and British on the ship, who were looking for an opportunity to get close.

Yang Hao didn't give them a good face at all. These foreign devils are not a good thing. Not to mention how they help the Beiyang Naval Division fight, they are just mercenaries with super high salaries, and they are not all professionals. Especially the deputy manager Taylor, because of his personal grudge with Liu Buyun, he later spread rumors and smeared him. This directly led to a century-long suffering for future generations after Liu Guandai's suicide!

Later, in the First Sino-Japanese War filmed by a certain director, Liu Buyun was distorted into a deliberately raised the wrong flag to disrupt the fleet array, injured Ding Ruchang with the first shot, smoked a lot of cigarettes, raised concubines, gathered people to gamble, and formed a party for personal gain...... Anyway, it is the culprit who does all kinds of evil and directly leads to the defeat of the Jiawu War. The descendants of the Liu family were treated as historical sinners in the big convulsions, and they couldn't even join the party until they died.

Tong Guò's research and analysis of the memoirs written by the foreign devils who served in the Beiyang Navy Division can be seen that their strands are high up in the bones. Under the sense of superiority based on white identity, a lot of pen and ink was spent to render their great role, as if without them, the Beiyang Navy Division would fall apart directly.

Correspondingly, it is the smearing and belittling of the entire Chinese officers and soldiers, and these materials have been repeatedly quoted by countless soft-skinned eggs who have no confidence at all in the next hundred years, and then they are saddened how there is such a group of garbage ancestors.

All in all, the people of the Beiyang Naval Division were the culprits behind the defeat of the Jiawu War and China's century-old humiliation. In contrast, the Japanese Navy's Suzhì is all kinds of tall.

Then the question arises, in the battle, the large-caliber guns of the Beiyang Fleet hit 2.5%, firing 187 rounds of 12-inch shells in 5 and a half hours, hitting 11 rounds. The Japanese Combined Fleet fired 320 mm (12 inches was 305 mm) shells for 5 and a half hours, 30 hits.

This was achieved when the speed of the two ironclad ships was several knots worse than that of the Japanese Navy's capital ships, and the main guns were only fired once in a maximum of 3 minutes, which was enough for the opponent to run around them once and bombard them with rapid-fire artillery for several rounds.

Yang Hao can't believe anyone, he only believes what he knows and sees. At least, he didn't see the rows of ** and ** pavilions in Wei Haijun Harbor, nor did he see the loose and listless double spearmen.

On the Dingyuan ship, he first ran to the bottom of the port main turret, and reached out to touch the exposed 305mm Krupp main gun, of course, he couldn't reach the --- gun muzzle was 3 meters high from the deck!

He jumped to reach it again, but he still couldn't reach it! He is not Yao Ming, and the bounce is not as good as Zhu Jianhua, so he really can't touch it.

Liu Buyun didn't like him, and shouted angrily: "Mr. Yang, what are you doing?!" ”

Yang Hao turned around and smiled brightly at him: "I want to see if I can touch the ash inside the muzzle, or hang up my clothes!" ”

Liu Buyun showed a disdainful expression of disdain when he looked at an idiot, and snorted coldly: "It's ridiculous! Our ship has always been diligent in maintenance, where is the dust in the muzzle? Furthermore, how do you dry your clothes in such a high place? Since Mr. Yang can get shells and rebuild the hull, how can he not know these common senses?! ”

Yang Hao didn't care, and said with a smile: "I think so." I'm more than eight meters tall, and I can't reach the muzzle of the gun with the physique of playing basketball all day long. ”

"Huh?! What does this mean? ”

Liu Buyun reacted quickly, and immediately felt a strange smell. Why did it get to Heihachiro Togo again? The Japanese had indeed been on the Dingyuan ship, but where would he touch it, let alone touch the ridiculous things like pipes.

Yang Hao put away his smiling face and said meaningfully: "Lord Liu had better find someone to take photos inside and out, which proves that the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division are good." Otherwise, in a few years, someone will say that you are lax in discipline and vulnerable, and that the barrels of your cannons are full of oil and are rarely wiped down. From this, it can be deduced that the entire Beiyang is loose and loose, neglected to cultivate, and fights a war, and cannot be pulled out and won. ”

"Nonsense! Who dares to slander him like this, how can we have a break with him?! ”

Liu Buyun was also in a hurry, blowing his beard and glaring, and he wanted to beat the rumor-monger hard.

Yang Hao sighed in his heart, Master Liu probably couldn't imagine how sufficient the masochistic spirit of some Chinese in future generations was!

Such a simple lie is nothing more than a fabrication by the Japanese Ogasawara Nagasei in order to flatter his idol Heihachiro Togo. As a result, the former great historian Tang Degang wrote "Seventy Years of the Late Qing Dynasty", and later Tian Han changed it to the Pingyuan ship, which did not go to Japan at all. Later, a certain director filmed "The First Sino-Japanese War", and even said that Heihachiro Togo hung the battleship full of clothes, so as to successfully disguise and deceive the Beiyang Naval Division, and suddenly opened fire and succeeded .......

If it is said that in a special era, he made mistakes due to lack of research ability, then in 1995, Gao Luyan wrote "The Dream of the Navy of the Qing Empire" and still used false rumors; filming historical dramas like "Towards a Republic" is also blatantly unverified; In 2006, the "PLA Military Daily" actually wrote like this! "Wen Wei Po" also wrote so!

The Japanese filmed "Sakagami no Cloud" is just pulling the rope on the gun emplacement. As we all know, whenever the weather is fine, it is a common practice for navies of various countries to pull ropes on battleships to dry clothes. How could he be distorted and jump on the 3-meter-high 305mm cannon to dry clothes? Why do so many people still believe it?

What was the real situation back then?

Japan's Mainichi Shimbun reported on July 15, 1891 that a reception was held on the ship "Dingyuan" on the 14th:

Presided over by Ding Ruchang, admiral of the Qing Beiyang Fleet, and Li Jingfang, minister to Japan, a grand banquet inviting distinguished Chinese dignitaries and gentlemen was held yesterday, that is, at 10 a.m. on the 14th, at the flagship "Dingyuan." About 500 people, including His Royal Highness Kita-Shirakawa and Prime Minister Matsukata, ministers, vice-ministers, army and navy officers, and journalists, were invited. The small steamboats carried by the Qing warships, waving the flag of the Yellow Dragon, have been waiting on the docks since the morning to send these guests to the "Dingyuan" ship.

On the fully equipped "Dingyuan" ship, Admiral Ding, Minister Li, and the captains of various ships of the Qing State greeted them at the boarding gate. Amid the sound of the military band, the deck of the "Dingyuan" ship prepared lemonade, ice cubes, all kinds of cigarettes and other entertainment. The displacement, power and other parameters of the "Dingyuan" are as described above, and the captain's room and officer's cabin are decorated with all kinds of artworks, as well as bonsai and photos. Although there were several patients in the military hospital, the cleanliness was unusual. …… Soon after, starting at 12 noon, a buffet of Western food was held on the deck of the "Dingyuan," and the guests talked while eating, and finally they were sent back to the dock in a very satisfied atmosphere. Although a dance party was also prepared and included in the schedule, the event had to be cancelled due to the lack of women.

Enough is enough.

Yang Hao thought of the materials he had read, those remarks that were conclusive and all kinds of speculations in the gutter, and he felt ridiculous. It's the 21st century, and the thinking of these people is still alive a hundred years ago. Taking pleasure in scolding the ancestors of the past generations, their own ancestors, and belittling their own nation, how distorted their thoughts were!

At this moment, he really wanted to publish the secretly taken photos, so that the gang could open their eyes and take a good look at what the truth was.

But just thinking about it, I simply dismissed this thought. From top to bottom, so many people are willing to cover their eyes and talk nonsense with their conscience, no matter how loud he shouts, people still pretend not to hear. It's better to do something down-to-earth so that this plane will not repeat the tragedy.

Under Liu Buchan's incomprehensible gaze, Yang Hao shook his head and walked around the battleship with his hands behind his back.

Through the camera on his chest, he scanned all the places that could be photographed of the whole boat, which is all precious first-hand information! In 2007, no details about the two ironclads were revealed. Although the city of Haijiao in the north spent 50 million to rebuild one, it relied on professional presumption and no drawings have been found.

When they came to the flybridge, overlooking the harbor, and seeing the excitement in Yang Hao's expression, Liu Buyun's mood improved slightly. Patting the thick hull, he said unabashedly proudly: "The second ship of Dingzhen is the strongest in the East!" With these two ships here, Japan or other invading enemies will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop! ”

The main officers who came together nodded their heads in agreement. Regardless of whether they have the same heart as Liu Guan or not, the firepower of the battleship they are riding on is strong, which is recognized. Natural and honorable.

Yang Hao shook his head violently: "The strongest? If you want me to see, it's far worse! These two battleships are already far behind! Not to mention defeating the Japanese army, I'm afraid it will not be easy to survive the naval battle! ”

Liu Buyun's face was elongated, he frowned, held back his anger, and snorted coldly: "Oh? I'd like to hear what Mr. Yang has to say! ”

Yang Hao was not polite at all, and pulled it casually: "It's true that the two battleships in Dingzhen are big things, but various technical indicators have long been outdated!" Let's start with the steel surface iron armor of this ship, and the protection capacity is only 1.25 times that of wrought iron armor. And the British themselves used Harvey armor, which is 1.55 times more protective than it. The 'Fuji-class' 10,000-ton battleship that the Japanese just ordered this year will use this technology! And Germany itself invented Krupp armor last year with 1.78 times the protection of wrought iron armor! The battleship 'Elector' launched this year is exactly this kind of armor! ”

He said a large number of words without blinking, and Liu Buyun and a group of officers were startled, ---Where did this kid get the information?" How can you be so familiar with the Beiyang Naval Division and the warships of various countries?!
