When the Beiyang ships converged, Xu Jie assigned a new mission, and the Gao Sheng and Caojiang continued to rush to Asan and then returned to Beiyang immediately with Zhiyuan Hailong Haihu. At the same time, he warned Ding Ruchang not to engage in shipping anymore, and before the battle situation changed, he would honestly rest the fleet, and now he was a friend of Beiyang, as long as he could drag the Lang Weili fleet home, it would not be a problem. And the 3 Guiyuan-class cruisers of the Beiyang Fast Fleet have other things to do, since little Japan provoked the war, don't blame Xu for being ruthless.

However, before returning home, Xu Jie also did a few things, the first was that the Beiyang pipes and bands jointly wrote an excerpt, asking for severe punishment of Fang Boqian who escaped from the battle. And Xu Jie even demanded the execution of this scum in the clip of the excerpt. On the one hand, it is to avoid Fang Boqian's escape in the decisive battle and affect the overall situation, and on the other hand, it is to set an example, Xu Jie is very worried about the fighting spirit of the Nanyang Fleet. The second thing is to let Zhiyuan and other returning warships take these prisoners. These captives have a lot to do, and in the Qing Dynasty, they can resist the Qingliuzui cannon and let the court take the money. In foreign countries, you can establish the image of Beiyang mighty and civilized teacher!! Let the Beiyang Fleet have an advantage in international public opinion, of course, if these people want to get Tomahawk treatment, they must admit that they made them fire first, and with the addition of the foreigners of the Beiyang Fleet and the British on the Gao Sheng, Japan will be nailed to the pillar of shame of undeclared war this time!! And among these captives, there was one person who shocked Xu Jie very much, that is, Hikonojo Uemura, who led the Second Fleet and the Russian cruiser formation in a big battle in Ulsan in the Russo-Japanese naval battle in that plane! And this Lieutenant General Uemura played well in the Russo-Japanese naval battle, making up for Togo's mistakes. This NM is a celebrity! caught such a famous character in the first battle, which made Xu Jie, a traverser, a little proud.

And when it comes to Hikonojo Uemura, he himself never dreamed that he would be captured. The moment the Yoshino retreated, he knew that the tide was turning, and he was ready to learn from Takasago Captain Kawara Yoichi and sink with the ship. But what I didn't expect was that after the conning tower was hit by a 3-inch shell, although it didn't penetrate, the huge shock made the unlucky captain's head hit the guard plate, and he fainted directly.

When he saw Mura Hikonoshi with his head wrapped in bandages, Xu Jie suddenly had the idea of wanting to spoof the other party, and after a short silence, Xu Jie spoke: "That, Kawahara is also from the Royal Naval College, and you are also from the fourth phase of the Japanese Navy, why don't you even know how to fight stuffy sticks?" Xu Jie asked curiously.

"Uh, sir, how do you translate this smasher?" The translator next to him immediately asked with some embarrassment.

"Let's just talk about sneak attacks." Xu Jie said a little depressed.

"It's just that you're lucky." Uemura pouted.

"Do you speak Chinese? That's easy. What does it mean to be lucky? When you met Dingzhen a few days ago, there was no one on the ship, which was obviously ready to fight, (in history, Yoshino and other 3 ships did meet Dingzhen, this matter is a fact) It's just that your 3 cruisers can't beat it, so forget it, you have already told the other party of your intentions, and you are still waiting for the rabbit, saying that you can't even sneak attack, is it still wrong? Xu Jie joked.

"Ugh." Uemura was speechless for a moment.

"Cruiser cruiser, it's just to fight in action, aren't you staying there looking for people to be destroyed?" Xu Jie continued to run.

"Can your Excellency explain the methods of warfare of the cruisers?" Uemura said unconvinced. …,

"I won't elaborate, just look at my actions, stay in Lushun for a few days and listen to my letters, and read more foreign newspapers. I am sure that in the near future you will see more and more colleagues in the POW camps. Get him out of here. Xu Jie waved his hand to end the conversation, and after the spoof, Xu Jie suddenly felt refreshed and began to invest in the next tactical arrangement.

Now there are two roads in front of Xu Jie, the safest is to return to Hong Kong, which is the safest but also the most worthless choice, what does it mean to return to Hong Kong? It means that it will be difficult to come out again, the Yellow Sea is so big in total, if after this battle, the Japanese side concentrates the main forces to come out to seek revenge, as long as the Beiyang Fleet goes to sea, sooner or later it will be encountered, and it will not be able to dodge. Once encountered, the main fleets of the two sides are at the same speed, and they can't run, so they will die. However, in the face of an advantageous enemy, it is obviously the best policy. And now although the Japanese Navy has made a move, Xu Jie is sure that this is a decision that Kawahara has to make alone, not to mention the Japanese emperor, even the top of the Navy will definitely not know about this matter before Yoshino's return, and at this time, the war has already begun, plus Toshima is really close to Incheon, the Japanese landing point, and the Japanese Army has not yet prepared, in this case, it is really difficult to take advantage of Incheon Port. But what about after the fight against Incheon? Back to Lushun? Obviously, it was not a good choice either, once the cruiser formation returned, in the semi-closed and narrow Yellow Sea, in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the main forces of the Japanese fleet, there was simply no room for maneuver operations. Cruiser cruiser is meant to cruise, and no matter how good a cruiser is in a narrow sea, there is no room for it. And now is clearly not the time for a decisive battle with the Japanese fleet. And no matter how stupid the Japanese are, they will not give the Beiyang a chance to break through after being eaten two capital ships, as long as Japan cruises in the Yellow Sea in accordance with the main force on his plane, the Beiyang Fleet will only have two choices, either not leaving the port, or fighting a decisive battle with Japan. It's certain to bump into, but you can't avoid it. When the time comes, whether it is the main fleet or the fast fleet, Japan will have an advantage, so what is the hair? So Xu Jie thought about it and decided to give full play to the advantages of China's long coastline and annihilate the enemy on the outer line. In the vast East China Sea and near the Japanese mainland, guerrilla warfare with the Japanese in circles, plus robbery!!

For this plan, Xu Jie has been preparing for a long time, and after the sneak attack on Incheon, he led the fast detachment to immediately enter the East China Sea at a speed of 20 knots before the Japanese fleet reacted and carried out a diplomatic breaking operation near Japan! What's near Japan? None of the alert fleets of the three military ports of Yokosuka, Kure Port, and Sasebo were able to fight Zhiyuan. All the elite fleets of Japan are in the Yellow Sea. Even if Japan reacts, what can it do? Before the Edgar-class is officially put into battle, the Yoshino must be repaired, and there are only 3 ships in the entire fast fleet, and even if they come, they can't beat their own fleet at all, and the main fleet is even more unlikely to come, the main fleet will cover the landing of the army in the Yellow Sea, and be ready for a decisive battle with the Beiyang Fleet at all times. In the waters near Japan, there is simply no force that can intercept Xu Jie. As for the supply, Xu Jie has already considered the supply plan of the two methods of sea supply and military port supply, referring to the camouflage supply ships of the German Navy in World War 1, Xu Jie can replenish coal, fresh water, food and even ammunition at sea. If you really can't do it, you can go to Shanghai to replenish it, (the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Jinling Machinery Bureau can both produce 8-inch and 6-inch shells, and the guns of the Nanyang Fleet are the same Armstrong-type guns as Beiyang.) On the one hand, Japan was so far away that it was difficult for the Japanese Navy to imagine taking a few cruisers to raid Shanghai. There is the Nanyang Fleet, and there is the Wusongkou turret. Isn't it boring to come to Japan? On the other hand, when Lang Weili came back with 3 capital ships, Xu Jie could quickly turn with him, and at that time, the complete version of the fast fleet with high speed and high damage did not have to be afraid of the Japanese cruiser formation at all, even if it ran into the Japanese main fleet, it could choose to escape or fight. At that time, the narrow waters of the Yellow Sea became a hell for the Japanese. It was the turn of the Beiyang Fleet to search for the Japanese fleet, and at this time, as at the beginning, unless the Japanese fleet did not leave the port, it would be found sooner or later. And in a cross-sea operation, it was impossible for the Japanese not to leave the port. So. By that time, the Japanese fleet had no choice.

After conspiring with Lin Yongsheng and others, Xu Jie immediately looted the remaining 8-inch and 6-village shells of the Zhiyuan ship into his own hands. Immediately afterwards, he led the fleet out of the waters off Toshima and headed for Incheon, where the Japanese landed troops, and there might be 1 or 2 unprotected cruisers at the military station, beckoning to Xu Jie. Xu Jie really couldn't think of a reason not to accept it. As for some people, it's not good to take away all the shells of Zhiyuan. This. There are no more than 2 guns that can be used on Zhiyuan, and there are only 2 Japanese fleets in the nearby waters, one is the Yoshino who is fleeing south, and the other is the scum ship squatting in the harbor waiting for Xu Jie to clean up. Since the three damaged Beiyang battleships have no possibility of fighting again, why do they still have shells left? Let's contribute.

Yesterday's collection was not ideal, and there was no motivation to add more~~. Let's support it~~
