Chapter 111: Japan with a Little Tragedy
The first update
The first artillery shot was still fired by the Beiyang Naval Division, but it was not on Chinese soil, and Japan, as they said, drove the warship directly into the Korean Sea. They thought very clearly, anyway, I am not an enemy of the Qing Dynasty. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Qing Dynasty, they went to attack North Korea.
However, Lao Qi had already received Xianfeng's telegram, but Lao Qi was a careful person, and he had also been trained by Chery over the years. Thinking that it didn't seem to be very cost-effective to borrow North Korea's customs defense, I directly met with the head of North Korea and directly asked them to write a request for defense. As a result, the sailors were also stationed in the Korean coastal defense line. The Seven Kings thought about it, and by the way, they also transferred a team of troops over, and they were idle anyway, helping to repair the roads and city walls, and making sufficient preparations.
As soon as the Japanese warships crossed the coastal defense line, an armor-piercing bullet hit their hull, and it hit the muzzle of the gun, and all of a sudden, their artillery exploded from the action of external forces.
They haven't figured out the situation internally, and the second and third are coming. For a time, the North Korean army, which they thought was vulnerable, only sent three warships.
The three warships sank quickly, for the Japanese, Qingyu didn't give the order to catch people, so everyone watched with a little regret that the Japanese warships sank into the sea like that, thinking in their hearts, I knew not to be so accurate, this ship was sunk, what else did they fight?
And the coastal defense closest to Japan is directly shelling the Japanese mainland, and it is idle anyway. The Japanese warship was still soaking in the water, and the soldiers were also paddling in the water.
Qingyu was invited to the front court by Xiao Huangzi, and everyone sat in the Heart Cultivation Palace, looking at them in a daze.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Qingyu invited An, looked at everyone's faces, and was a little worried.
"Lao Qi sank the Japanese warship, and only thirty shells were used." Chery got up and tilted his head and said.
"What about the homeland?" Qingyu doesn't care about that, she cares about the situation in Japan.
"Well, when there was fire here, the Seventh Master sent a telegram to the Jiangnan battalion, so the Jiangnan battalion had already sent a ship to bomb the Japanese in the open sea." Chery said that he was speechless about this.
"Mother, is this good? Isn't it according to international law, we shouldn't do this to our neighbors, right? Yiren hesitated for a moment, ran to the high seas, and bombed the Japanese mainland, is that okay?
"We are exercising on the high seas, and we are not targeting Japan." Qingyu looked at Chery, "Right?" ”
"Yes, we were chasing pirates, and the pirates fled into the Sea of Japan." Chery smirked, this had already been set.
Qingyu stretched out her hands to Yiren, saying that it would be good if there was a reason for this.
Yiren thought about it, and he was idle anyway.
"The British are still on the high seas?"
"Yes, they are still on the high seas, and I heard that the British ambassador is still on the warship. The passenger ship is also still waiting for the ambassador to return to the ship. Chery withdrew his smile.
"Keep an eye on it! However, thirty shells sank a ship, is this considered a success? Qingyu decided to ask something useful.
"It's three of the latest warships, and our ship didn't go out, it was just knocked out on the shore." Li Hongzhang smiled.
"Immediately print a special issue to inform the whole country of the news." Qingyu smiled and said to Li Hongzhang.
"Yes!" Li Hongzhang thought about it, and ran out with a smile, he wanted to run by himself. This is a great good thing for the whole country, and it is necessary for the people to know that their army is not the same army as it was more than 20 years ago.
"What do you think?" Xianfeng still had a calm face, and did not show more happiness.
"What?" Qingyu hasn't come over yet.
"Japan should be about to protest."
"Their ambassador ran away, how can they protest?" Qingyu spread her hands.
"Yes, then let's dig out that pirate first!" Xianfeng was right when he thought about it, the Japanese ambassador didn't close the door, but all ran away, waiting for them to finish the shells, and then let's talk about it!
"That's true, the Seventh Master telegraphed that because we were very tense with the Sea of Japan, the Russian fleet returned to Russia."
"Will that go by land?"
"Of course not, they know that they have to use a large army to go by land, and they don't have the courage yet." If you think about it, Chery still has a good understanding of the situation in the Northeast.
"That's it. Where is France now? Qingyu nodded, Japan was wiped out as soon as it emerged, which made Qingyu very happy, and Russia saw their minions and shrank back, the British were still hesitating, so what about the French?
"On the way, right?" How does Chery know where the French are? They have heavy troops along the coast. Several possible stops for the French were well prepared.
"Telegraph to Japan and ask them to hand over the pirates. Otherwise, we do not guarantee that we will not enter the Sea of Japan! Qingyu thought about it, raised her eyebrows, and took advantage of the fact that the French had not yet come, so it was better to take the opportunity to go deeper.
"Yes!" Chery smiled, he didn't say it, they had already done this.
He gave the order that after a day's warning, you could enter. And today, they are not indiscriminately bombing, they say that they are chasing pirates, so the docks and docks along the coast are all their targets. The military port, in particular, has long been bombed to shreds. Before they can react, they are already disqualified from reacting.
Japan immediately appealed to Britain for help, and the British fleet was still in Canton. The Canton Navy Division was already in full swing, and the entire seaside was filled with fleets from both sides, and even if the British fleet wanted to go to the east to help, it would not be able to get through.
The Japanese sent a telegram to the Rifan in a crazy way, but the reply was very serious, they were just chasing the pirates, and as soon as they handed over the pirates, they would stop the shelling. However, the Qing Dynasty will spare no effort to crack down on pirates, and it will be the focus of the work of the sailors in the future. I hope that the Government of Japan will support it.
Then the Jiangnan Navy Division threw all the shells that were about to expire into the Japanese mainland, and they were lined up, from south to north, and they were beaten along the way, anyway, after the military-related places were gone, so they looked at the houses that were a little bit of a panache and bombarded them. In the words of the above, if you don't bomb anyway, the shells will expire. Don't waste it.
Then they start to challenge the high difficulty, that is, who can shoot farther. The officials saw that this was a good idea, so they really brought in their own imitation artillery and shells and began to test them in earnest. Every time the cannon is fired, someone will record it. I have some first-hand information.
Later, even the technicians of the artillery factory came on board, and they took this shelling as a formal experiment. One by one, the eyes of the shells glowed green, from the range to the radiation breadth of the shells, one by one, I tried one by one, and I didn't think at all about what would happen to the side that was bombed.
