After three consecutive days of a public letter, the result still did not get a satisfactory answer, Governor Yang finally took his Fujian and Zhejiang Governor Biao Zhongyong Army Second Division to leave Mawei Port, the name is just set, since he is a first-class loyal and brave uncle, it is naturally more appropriate to call the Loyal Brave Army, and at this time everyone likes to add a nice name to themselves, such as Li Hongzhang's Dingwu Army, he originally compiled the new army called this name so it continued, Zhang Zhidong's called the Ziqiang Army, As for Liu Kunyi, he followed the title of Zuo Zongtang's Changjie Army as a soldier, and it is estimated that it is somewhat a bit of a phoenix veteran squatting on the wall and bragging.

Of course, the work of Yang Feng's loyal army had nothing to do with the name, and 18,000 men were divided into six landing ships and six high-speed merchant ships, and under the escort of the marauder fleet, they made a mighty sail to Tianjin.

Cixi, who learned the news, immediately ordered Liu Kunyi to dispatch the Nanyang Naval Division to intercept it, and intercept a fart, the two capital ships that Liu Kunyi just bought are still being repaired in the dock in Mawei! The old warships of the Nanyang Naval Division went out and walked around and went back, and then the old guy quickly replied: "The ships of Yang Du's department are very fast, and the ships of the Nanyang Naval Division are all slow old ships so they cannot catch up, and they have sent a telegram to contact them but there has been no result yet."

Well, Cixi didn't expect him to be able to stop it, and then gave Liu Buyun an order to let the Beiyang Naval Division go to sea to intercept it, but it didn't take a few minutes to get a reply, Liu Buyun was sick, so sick that he didn't know who was going to work, and Dingzhen was broken in all directions, and now he was repairing, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to go to sea within ten days and a half months.

After learning the news, Cixi laughed angrily.

"It's all a bunch of rebellious ministers and thieves, and the mourning family wants to see how many people haven't shown their true faces." She sneered and said, in fact, she also knew that Liu Buyun and the others would definitely not be able to stop Yang Feng, these people were already thinking about activities, plus they were all Fujianese, how could they offend Yang Feng.

But fortunately, she still had two obedient warships, and after receiving the order, the Kaiyuan and Zhuyuan, piloted by Chilean mercenaries, immediately set sail out of Weihaiwei. With a group of gunboats, torpedo boats, training ships and the like patrolling at Bohai Haikou waiting to intercept Yang Feng's fleet, of course, she didn't expect the sea interception to have any effect, under her thousand instructions, Rong Lu hurriedly returned to Tianjin and began to arrange the defense of Dagukou, the first town of the new army two associations, one south and one north sandwiched Dagu fort deployment, at the same time the second town of the new army and the Tianjin patrol team deployed Tianjin, the third town temporarily stationed in Langfang to prepare reinforcements, he just completed the deployment here, the interception fleet at sea first encountered Yang Feng.

In fact, Yang Feng was not prepared to hide from them, and this thing put his governor's guard of honor on the deck of the Nautilus, and led the fleet towards the largest pillar of smoke in the distance.

The Kaiyuan was the Blanco Enkarada, which he originally wanted to copy. In fact, now this warship has become a copy of the Marauder, the power system of the two is exactly the same, and even the gun layout is the same, so it looks the same as the two brothers, of course, this is just the appearance, the real performance in all aspects, whether it is speed or protection ability, firepower is worse than the Marauder.

Under the command of Rong Lu's cronies, Tie Liang, the deputy commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, two foreign-aided cruisers rushed towards the huge fleet in front of them. Before they could get closer, eight destroyers flew at a high speed of more than thirty knots and surrounded them like a pack of lions ready to hunt bison, and the Chilean captains of the two cruisers were so frightened that they hurried to stop according to the flags they had raised. The Chilean Navy itself ordered two in Sweden at a high price, and the thought of those forty-eight steam gas torpedo tubes shuddered.

"Why stop?" Tie Liang roared angrily.

"Your Excellency the Deputy Admiral, if we really fight, we will be beaten to scum in a minute." The captain of the Kaiyuan, Salas, kindly reminded him.

"Really?" Tie Liang said with some hesitation.

"It only takes one heavy torpedo to blow us down, and there are forty-eight on it." Salas nodded and said in a solemn tone.

"That. Then, Admiral Ben will not be as knowledgeable as this traitor, and send him a signal. Tell him that the Queen Mother has a will, let him go back where he came from. Tie Liang said in a fierce voice.

The Kaiyuan signal soldier quickly called the flag over, and then got a reply, one word: "Get out!"

"The word in English means rolling, and I don't know what it means in Chinese." Salas explained that at this time, the banners and orders were all in English, and the Admiral would not have understood them.

"Mada, this traitor is too arrogant!" Tie Liang gritted his teeth and said, then asked in a low voice, "Are their torpedoes really that powerful?"

"We don't have any hope of a real fight, of course, if you give the order, even if it is to protect the honor of a soldier, we will fight them to the end." Salas said.

They can fight to the end, Lord Tie is not in the mood, look at the more than a dozen warships lined up on the opposite side, there are two warships with a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals on his side, even if they are let over, there is nothing to be ashamed of, so he waved his hand solemnly and said: "Forget it, we are here to pass on a word, what are the people of the imperial court fighting!" Send a telegram to Rong Zhongtang, saying that there are many thief ships, and the whole army will be wiped out in battle, and it is the best policy to protect the ships and control the enemy!"

"Your Excellency is wise!" Salas hurriedly said in a stiff Chinese dialect.

The news of the failure of the interception at sea did not make Cixi angry, speaking of which, she really knew too well the virtues of her subordinates, unless the strength was stronger than the opponent, otherwise do not expect them to have the courage to fight, anyway, Yang Feng must face the threshold of the Dagu Fort no matter what, and let Rong Lu personally go over with the holy decree and read it in person to see if he has any reason to quibble.

However, she was wrong this time, Yang Feng was not ready to go to Dagukou at all, he lacked large-caliber heavy artillery in his hands, the largest was only 130 caliber, it was difficult to effectively deal with the strong coastal defense battery, unless it was smoked with poison gas bombs, but it was a bit too cruel to deal with Luo Rongguang with this means, and after all, the banner of his trip was to enter Beijing to appeal rather than to invade Beijing, and the bombardment of Dagukou was not conducive to the development of the follow-up plan, and it would also have a very bad impact on his image.

So his landing site was in a place that no one could have imagined.

Dagukou, Rong Lu, who rushed from Tianjin in a hurry, was staring at the sea in the distance, holding the holy decree stamped with the Guangxu jade seal in his hand, and there were a large number of reporters from various countries around, and now Cixi has also learned, can't let Yang Feng talk nonsense in the newspaper every day, reversing black and white, since he doesn't like to play with public opinion? Then play with him, in front of so many reporters, if he dares to disobey even the holy decree, it will be enough for the people of the world to see his painting skin clearly.

"Why hasn't it arrived yet?" Rong Lu took out his pocket watch, looked at the time and said suspiciously, today is not a good weather, the northwest wind is swishing, the sky is overcast like lead, and occasionally a few small snowflakes are blowing, a group of people are guarding the seaside, many of them are so cold that their faces are blue, and even some reporters have begun to slip away.

"I don't know what to do, it's estimated that it's also arrived according to the time." Qing Heng, a cronie next to him, wiped his frozen snot and said with a puzzled expression.

At this time, a small torpedo boat drove into the mouth of Dagu, and the pipe band hurriedly got off the boat and ran to Rong Lu and knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Yu Zhongtang, Yang Feng's fleet went north three hours ago. ”

"To the north, where to go?" Rong Lu was stunned for a moment, and he and Qingheng couldn't help but look at each other.

"Shanhaiguan!" Luo Rongguang next to him said.

"Immediately send a report to Yongping Mansion, order it to deploy troops along the coast, and at the same time order all trains at Yuguan Station to leave!" Rong Lu immediately came to his senses, suddenly understood Yang Feng's intentions, and hurriedly said to Qing Heng.

It's a pity that it's too late at this time, Yang Feng's six landing ships have already rushed directly to the blue sea and golden sand beach of Qinhuangdao under the dumbfounded gaze of the fishermen on the seaside, there are no defenders here at all, Shanhaiguan is only a guerrilla, and the subordinates don't know if there are more than 100 green battalion soldiers in Ludao, and when the Yongping prefect received the Ronglu telegram, more than 6,000 wolf-like elite troops have completed the landing, and cut off the Jingshan Railway, and the speed is almost to Shanhaiguan.

Because this is the terminal station of the Jingshan Railway, and then the railway to the north has just begun to be built, in order to transport road construction materials, there are several trains stopped here every day, so all fell into the hands of Yang Feng, after taking the Shanhaiguan Railway Station, a regiment quickly took over here to block the passage into the customs, and then began to unhurriedly use small boats to transfer soldiers and materials from those troop carriers.

"My lord, the prefect of Yongping is asking to see you outside." Chen Zhong, the commander of the second division, walked up to Governor Yang who was looking at the sea and played with pride and ambition, and said that he was the first overseas Chinese in the United States to follow Yang Feng, and his ancestors were born with long hair, and the division commander was originally given to Jiang Zikang, but the old guy was holding more than 800,000 taels of silver and didn't even want to be an official, so the position of division commander was given to him.

"No, how can Benjue be seen casually? Before entering the city of Beijing, no one saw me, so they said that I was sick and didn't dare to see the wind, even if Rong Lu came. Yang Feng waved his hand and said, as long as you don't meet, then you don't have to listen to any orders.

"What if I come with a decree?" Chen Zhong is very careful.

"Divine decree? Our soldiers are all rough people, how can they be literate, how can they know the holy decree, let alone the holy decree, they don't even know the crown of the official. Yang Feng said casually.

"Got it!" Chen Zhong said with a smile, since you don't know it, you can't be sure of the truth or falsehood, Governor Yang is sick, you take something we don't know and say the holy decree, and suddenly let us disturb the adult's sick body, how is this possible? (To be continued......)
