Chapter 216: Double Happiness Comes to the Door

Although Mo Haihu ordered not to let go of any of them and began to hunt them down, after all, because the number of his own warships was too small, many warships escaped.

Thankfully, most of the ships that escaped were sixth-tier ships with fast speed and small tonnage, and none of the other ships with heavy tonnage and slow speed ran away, and they were all caught up by the battleships of the First Fleet, either sunk or captured.

As for the troop carriers and supply ships, they all surrendered obediently, which means that the more than 30,000 Russian expeditionary troops were all taken prisoner before they could play their role.

In this way, at about 10 a.m. on July 10, 1861, the commander of the Russian Expeditionary Force, Grigory. Ivanovich. Vice Admiral Butakov officially announced his surrender, and the battle known as the Battle of Dongsha Island was finally over.

In this battle, the First Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy suffered zero ship losses, and only 12 people were slightly wounded, all of whom were accidentally injured while carrying shells, and none of them were hit by the other side.

In comparison, the losses of the Russian expeditionary fleet were somewhat heavier, and it can be said that they were completely annihilated.

Among them, a total of 34 battleships were sunk, including 1 second-class ship as the flagship of the Russian Expeditionary Force, 5 third-class ships, 6 fourth-class ships, 9 fifth-class ships, 4 sixth-class ships, 1 armored battleship (the French Glory armored ship), 4 troop carriers, and 3 supply ships.

There were 91 ships captured, including 6 ships of the third class, 10 ships of the fourth class, 8 ships of the fifth class, 4 ships of the sixth class, 1 armored ship (the British Warrior armoured ship), 36 troop carriers (merchant ships), and 26 supply ships (merchant ships).

You may have to ask, how could the results of the battle be so great, how could so many ships be captured? The First Fleet only has two ships that can fight well, right?

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the technical difference between the two sides is too great.

The Russian expeditionary fleet was indeed huge. However, in the face of quasi-modern warships that have won in terms of firepower, speed, protection, and fire control, they still have no power to fight back, just like a group of stronger sheep facing two hungry wolves.

Moreover, the battle itself was launched at night, and at night when there was no night vision equipment and the wind was not strong, the speed of the sail warships gathered together could not get up, and the speed of these ships was generally only about 10 knots, facing the Gray Arrow No. 1 with a maximum speed of 30 knots. There is also the Zhenyuan, which can reach 24 knots, and it can't run out at all, not to mention the role of those bird ships equipped with double 37 anti-aircraft guns is not small.

In fact, most of the battleships that were sunk were sunk in the process of escaping, because when the Zhenyuan and Gray Arrow No. 1 replenished their ammunition for the first time, they found that most of the battleships began to flee, so they simply chased after them and rushed directly into the opponent's battleship group to play close combat.

With the firepower, protection and mobility of the Zhenyuan and the Gray Arrow No. 1, after rushing in. That is, the tiger entered the flock, and the power of all kinds of artillery fire was brought into full play, almost one hit was accurate, and one hit was extinguished. And the opponent's artillery fire did not work against Zhenyuan and Gray Arrow No. 1.

In fact, that close pursuit battle was the real climax of this naval battle, especially the Gray Arrow No. 1 in charge of Mo Haven. Relying on the thick skin and thick flesh, the firepower is strong, not only rampage inside, but also play directly with the collision. There were 5 ships that were knocked over by Gray Arrow 1 alone.

On the contrary, it was the Zhenyuan, because it was only a wooden sailboat in iron armor, and it only attacked on the edge, the main purpose was to prevent the opponent from escaping.

That is to say, those battleships that surrendered also wanted to run, but as long as they ran, they would be given priority to be taken care of by the artillery, so most of them couldn't run away, and they chose to surrender after finding that the strength was too different, so eight * nine times out of ten these surrendered battleships were injured, not that they had not resisted.

In any case, after this battle, the Russian navy was greatly damaged, and it can be said that it lost the little possessions left after the Crimean War, and for a long time, it no longer had the strength to interfere with China, at most it continued to harass in the Xinjiang area.

Not only that, but the losses of Britain and France were not small, not to mention the two armored ships and other warships, most of those troop carriers and supply ships were galleons with a tonnage of more than 1,000 tons, and there were many cutting-edge clippers among them, which were captured at once, and they were destined to become the trophies of the Chinese Empire, which was a huge loss.

The results of the battle were transmitted back by radio as soon as possible, so Li Yongji, as the emperor of the empire, also knew the news for the first time.

"Good!" After listening to Mo Haihu's personal report on the phone, Li Yongji slapped the table happily, "Are the results of the battle certain?" Really wiped out the other party's army, and captured all of them? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mo Haihu couldn't hide his excitement, "We have confirmed the results of the battle again and again, and I guarantee that it is right." ”

"By the way, those armies are so obedient? Will you surrender obediently? ”

"Of course." Mo Haihu said, "The ships of those army ships are pure merchant ships, and they don't have much protection at all, if they face us at sea and don't surrender, do they still want to feed the sharks?" ”

"That's right." Li Yongji said, "Then those Russians, as well as the British and French, have you all been charged?" Don't make any more trouble. ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Mo Haihu said, "For those ships that surrendered, I sent people up one by one, escorted all their generals to our ships, and all the artillery and gunpowder were moved to our transport ships, so that they would have no teeth and no longer have the ability to resist." Then, I'll tie them all together with a wire, and that's it. ”

"Iron cable boat, this is a good way, how do you control the army? That's 30,000 people, right? ”

"It's easy for the Army." Mo Haihu said, "Let's send people up and ask them to move all the muskets and artillery and other munitions to our ship, so that they are unarmed, and then put all of them in the cabin, and then send some people up to guard them with weapons, isn't it okay?" ”

"Are they so obedient? As far as I know, Lao Maozi is very dishonest. ”

"Dishonest? Hehe, Your Majesty, we have warships watching from the side, and we have already told them that if there is resistance, we will immediately sink and feed the sharks. Mo Haihu said, "At the beginning, there were indeed a few bad-tempered resistances, and we simply used 76mm guns. Shoot straight at close range, sink that ship directly, and then let everyone see what happened to these people. Hmph, this is the sea, playing with artillery, no matter how many people there are, it's useless! ”

"Not bad, not bad." Li Yongji said, "Since this is the case, then you should take these people back to Dog Harbor first, and then take a little rest." Even the people and the boat were escorted directly to Shanghai, and the prisoners were sacrificed in public, and let others see your bravery! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen obeys the order."

"Haha, you've learned this too." Li Yongji smiled, "Okay, let's do it first, let's get busy." ”

After hanging up the phone. Li Yongji still couldn't hide his excitement, so he simply stood up and walked around the study, laughing from time to time.

"陛xià. What a joy to be had. Yin Susu, who was dressed in a pink sleeveless cheongsam, walked over lightly, smiled and put the fruit plate containing the cut watermelon on the desk, "Come, whatever it is." Let's come over and eat some watermelon to relieve the heat, which is all soaked in the well water. It's cool and sweet, but it's delicious. ”

"Oh, just now Mo Haihu's call, the navy has won a great victory!" Li Yongji turned around and saw that it was Yin Susu, and smiled slightly, "Our First Fleet has completely annihilated the Russian Expeditionary Fleet near Dongsha Island, and has also captured their 30,000 expeditionary troops. ”

"Ah, congratulations." Yin Susu made a blessing, "Now, let's see if those foreigners dare to look down on us anymore." ”

"Yes, it's ...... now" Li Yongji was just about to say something, but suddenly found that Yin Susu was retching with a handkerchief covering his mouth, as if he was nauseous, and immediately said, "What's wrong?" Got something bad? ”

After speaking, Li Yongji walked to the desk and took out a box of medicine from the drawer: "Hey, why are you so careless, didn't I tell you, the more summer it is, the more you must pay attention to food hygiene." Come, I have gastrointestinal medicine here, eat it first and try it, watermelon can't be eaten, this is too cold, I'll talk about it later. ”

"It's not." Yin Susu lowered her head with a blushing face, and slowly played with the handkerchief, "Your Majesty, actually, in fact, the slave maid didn't eat a bad stomach,"

"Didn't you eat a bad stomach? What is that? Li Yongji was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw her like this, he suddenly remembered something, "Could it be you, you, you ......"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yin Susu continued to bow her head and said, "The slave is, yes...... Pregnant. ”

"Pregnant?" Li Yongji's mouth opened wide, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." Yin Susu raised his head and said, "I just saw a doctor, and I have seen three in a row, and they all said that I am pregnant, and I am two months pregnant." ”

"Are you looking at Chinese medicine?" Li Yongji frowned.

"Of course." Yin Susu said, "These three are all well-known famous doctors, they all say so, they can't be wrong." ”

"You wait here, I'll come when I go." After Li Yongji finished speaking, he quickly ran out of the study and went to the toilet.

Li Yongji went to the toilet not in an internal emergency, but turned on the space-time trading system and called Zhang Xinda, the purpose was to ask him for a few pregnancy tests.

"Pregnancy test?" Hearing Li Yongji's request, Zhang Xinda also opened his mouth, "You kid, okay, there are children here?" ”

"Not necessarily." Li Yongji shook his head, "It's Susu, I found out from a Chinese medicine doctor, and I said that I was two months pregnant, but I don't believe in Chinese medicine, so I asked you for a pregnancy test." ”

"Oh, I didn't say it, why do you have such a prejudice against Chinese medicine." Zhang Xinda shook his head, "Even if Chinese medicine is empirical medicine, if you can examine your woman, they must be experienced famous doctors, and pregnancy should still be certain." ”

"Do you want to give it or not?" Li Yongji said impatiently, "It's in a hurry." ”

"Okay, okay, you wait a minute, I'll get it for you." After Zhang Xinda finished speaking, he quickly took out a box of pregnancy test sticks, "It's just right, I still have a box here, you deal with it first." ”

"Damn, why did you carry this with you?"

"Ahem." Zhang Xinda coughed, "If you have a woman, I can't have it?" This is for me as a woman, and I forgot to tell you that I'm going to be a dad too. ”

"You're going to be a dad too?" Li Yongji smiled, "Who is my brother and sister?" At least show me the pictures. ”

"Ahem, cough, I'll talk about this later." Zhang Xinda touched his nose and said, "Do you want it?" ”

"Yes, of course, bring it quickly!" Li Yongji said, "It's not expired, right?" ”

"Over your head." Zhang Xinda said, "I just used it, I guarantee that it is effective, rest assured." ”

"Well, I believe you."

After the pregnancy test stick was teleported, Li Yongji immediately opened it, looked at the instructions, and then rushed out again.

"Majesty?" Seeing Li Yongji rushing out in a hurry, Yin Susu, who was eating watermelon, stood up again, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'll give you a check-up." Li Yongji took a small transparent plastic cup, "Come, take this, and pee into it." ”

"Huh?" Yin Susu covered her mouth for a moment, and her face turned red again, "Your Majesty, you, how are you, how are you ......?"

"Don't don't, don't get me wrong." Li Yongji hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm not a pervert, ahhh ”

After speaking, Li Yongji hurriedly took out the pregnancy test stick, and then carefully explained the method of use, and only after finishing speaking, he said: "Now you understand, this is to test whether you are pregnant." ”

"Can you tell if I'm pregnant or not?" Yin Susu was still a little skeptical.

"Of course." Li Yongji nodded, "I can't lie to you." I tell you, pregnant woman, the placenta secretes a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin. This hormone is not only stored in your blood, but also in your urine.

This kind of pregnancy test stick, there are special chemical reagents in it, you can detect your hormone, once there is a reaction, it means that you are really pregnant, the reaction time is also fast, you can know the result in one minute. Although this can't be said to be 100% accurate, it is at least much more reliable than any Chinese medicine medicine. ”

"Oh." Yin Susu took the pregnancy test stick as if she didn't understand, looked left and right, and seemed to be still very curious.

Smiling slightly, Li Yongji turned his head to look at the female Chang who was standing quietly on the side: "I remember you, Soho, hurry up and help Su Su go to the bathroom and help her take urine for a test." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Ho bowed deeply, and then walked gently to Yin Susu's side, bending down slightly, "Lord Steward, please." ”

"Okay, since it's the meaning of majesty, then I'll give it a try." Yin Susu blushed.

After some inspection, when he saw the clear red double bar, Li Yongji suddenly felt an inexplicable joy rushing to his head.

I have children, I have children!

"Hahaha, double happiness, double happiness!" (To be continued......)
