As the sun sets, the entire Lushun Bay is a beating broken gold.

In the tidal cheers, Xu Xiangde and Wu Yanbin, who were very upright Ming officers, climbed to the top of the front turret of the heavy cruiser "Mandate of Heaven", stood on it, and spoke with a microphone. The microphone wires were connected to a few loudspeakers on the bridge.

"Brethren of the Arthur fleet!" Xu Xiangde shouted to the sailors on the deck and on the dock, "You don't have to surrender Little Japan!" …… On behalf of the Ming army, I will take over the Arthur fleet! …… As long as the brothers sail this fleet to Dachangshan Island, then from now on, you will all be Ming people!! ”

The cheers below almost reached the stage of madness, and countless sailor's hats were thrown into the sky. Wu Yanbin held the microphone and repeatedly shouted "Be quiet, please be quiet" to no avail.

After cheering like this for several minutes, it finally quieted down a little. Xu Xiangde took the microphone and continued:

"When the brothers return to Kannai, they don't all have to run south! Most of your hometowns are now ......."

At this time, the following shouted:

"How do we get out?"

"There's a Japanese warship guarding the outside!"

"How can we have the ability to drive to Dachangshan Island!"

"Isn't this a death sentence!"

Wu Yanbin, who was next to him, glanced at Xu Xiangde inquiringly. On this day, they all acted separately, that is, they had just come together. Wu Yanbin was holding a call-type radio, so he could only contact the rear in code, and he didn't dare to say more. For most of the day, Xu Xiangde and Li Zhien worked together to contact the rear with the cipher radio station brought by Li Zhien.

Xu Xiangde smiled and nodded, took the microphone, and said loudly:

"This brother doesn't have to worry, the Ming government has already made arrangements, and when the time comes, the brothers just need to drive the warship out!"

The sailors below already habitually distrust the officers, and now even the officers of the Ming army, they are still difficult to trust. Still noisy:

"How?"

"Yes, how is it arranged? Speak it up and listen to it! ”

"Just drive out, say it lightly!"

"That's it! Even if the boat sinks and the brothers fall into the sea to feed the sharks, you officials will not lose a single piece of skin! ”

Wu Yanbin grabbed the microphone again in vain and shouted beside him:

"Be quiet, please be quiet......"

Xu Xiangde pointed to the epaulettes on his shoulders, raised his voice into the microphone and said:

"Listen, brethren, as for how it will be arranged, I am not of sufficient rank, and I do not know! It's confidential! But if you think about it, Daming spent so much effort, so much effort, and so much money, and it took so long for this Lushun fleet! How is it possible for this fleet to be sunk as soon as it leaves the port? Think about it, isn't that? Could it be that the Ming government is wronged and born with two hundred and five? ”

There was a lot of laughter below, and not many people were crooked.

"And!" Xu Xiangde continued to shout, "When the time comes, there will be a senior officer of the Ming Navy on every warship!" He's here to guide you, and you'll listen to him from the captain down! This officer is at least at the rank of colonel or above! If you are sunk by the Japanese as soon as you go to sea, then he will die with you! Well, you can rest assured! ”

The sailors below were visibly satisfied and began to cheer again.

Wu Yanbin also smiled and waved his hand, but he was suspicious in his heart, not knowing how Xu Xiangde and the rear contacted the rear and what the rear said. How the hell is this arranged? Wouldn't it be just to raise a Ming flag on the mast of the Qing ship, and expect the Japanese not to dare to open fire? …… This is too simple, and the Japanese may not recognize this account. If this were the case, the Arthur fleet would have returned to Tianjin with the Ming flag long ago. But listening to Xu Xiangde's words, he is obviously very sure.

……

At the same time, at five o'clock in the evening, the three military ports of Weihai Port, Qingdao Port, and Changshan Islands, and the Ming Army's special task force at the mouth of Dagu, Tianjin, began to leave the port in 6 consecutive formations at sea. At 8 o'clock in the evening, these three task forces met in the 2o nautical mile sea on the north side of the Shandong Peninsula to form an extraordinarily large task force, which was divided into three waves, front, middle, and rear, with a total of more than 200 ships of various kinds, and headed for the Bohai Sea in the northwest.

The Ming army's task force departed the port, and did not hide from the eyes of all sides. Both the Northern Qing Dynasty and Japan are staring at this large fleet. For a long time, the Ming army had various warships, troop carriers, supply ships, oil tankers, 6 boarding boats, and minesweepers...... Constantly looking at the assembly in the three ports, the 6th Army of the Ming army also took either trains or boats, and was also constantly assembling in these three ports. Everyone knew that the Ming army could land 6 Tianjin and attack Beijing at any time.

Upon receiving the news that the Ming army's big ships were assembling a formation on the sea, the Qing army immediately raised the alert level of the Beijing-Tianjin Corps to the highest level, and all the coastal defense units along the coast were in full array, and more than 1,000 tanks lined up in large formations to march "rumbling" from Beijing to Tianjin from all roads, ready at any time to send the Ming troops who had just landed and had only light weapons back into the sea.

……

Since the Ming army began to assemble the 6th Army at the port, the Manchu court has become a frightened bird.

Beijing is under martial law around the clock, and no one is allowed to go out on the streets without a reason, and those who violate the order are punished by death.

Anyone who gathers more than five people will be convicted of "conspiracy to subvert the imperial court" and arrested on the spot. Not even in your own home. As long as there are more than five people in the family, one or two should go to the neighbor's house. The military and police in Beijing began to search their homes from house to house to see if there were any more people.

At the same time, during the search, the military and police also confiscated all the means of communication from the civilian population, mainly radios and batteries. In the past, only short-wave radios were banned, but now even ordinary medium-wave radios are included in the ban list. In addition, if there is a telephone at home, as long as it is not a powerful family with an extremely rich background, the telephone will be confiscated. In addition, all weapons and anything that could be used as weapons are confiscated:

- Fruit knives, kitchen knives, scissors, axes, saws, chisels, screwdrivers, wrenches, hammers, chains, iron rulers, slingshots, sticks on mops and brooms, tin sheets for cigarette cartridges...... All these things that can be stabbed, smashed, and cut, except for tables and benches, are classified as controlled items and must be confiscated. Even the scalpels and surgical scissors that are being used in hospitals are not immune. The doctor was performing the operation, and when he saw that the police had come to check on him, he immediately stopped saving people and cooperated with the police to hand over all the tools on the operating table. Within days, hundreds of patients and pregnant women died because they could not be operated on.

- Matches, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, high alcohol, ...... All items that burn quickly and could be used to make Molotov cocktails are also to be confiscated.

These days, the citizens of Beijing can barely cook. The whole cabbage can only be torn by hand, and the fire can only be turned out to find the fire sickle and flint of the old generation.

Although the streets of Beijing are empty, banners are hung. It reads in large letters:

In a peaceful and prosperous world, safety first.

Guangwu also ordered that the windows of all the houses in Beijing should be removed and replaced with paper paste, so that someone would prevent anyone from breaking the glass and using the broken glass as a knife. But just two days into it, it's too unrealistic. The whole piece of glass is too slow, and the whole city will be dismantled with glass, and it will be dismantled until next year. If it is broken directly, it will take more time to clean up the broken glass. Let the head of the household clean up by himself, and he is afraid that he will hide one or two pieces of broken glass.

So Guangwu gave up.

……

On the Japanese side, since the three task forces left the port, they have been closely watching. When it was dark and planes could not be used, destroyers and patrol boats followed from a distance.

Daming had been preparing for this 6 for so long, and of course Japan did not believe that Daming would temporarily change its target and board 6 Lushun in order to grab these cruisers. However, the timing of the Ming army's time was too coincidental, and it happened to pass through Lushun on its way to Tianjin. Japan was always worried that a small detachment of the Ming army's huge fleet would go to Port Arthur to meet the Arthur fleet.

Therefore, Japan also gathered the battleship Fuso and several cruisers scattered in the Yellow Sea as early as possible to form a squadron with considerable combat effectiveness, which was to guard the Bay of Arthur to the death. At the same time, the Japanese Navy urgently transferred two battleships from China and sailed to the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula to reinforce the Japanese ships there and control the tense situation.
