On July 5, 1894, the Baath Army and France signed a treaty in Guangzhou, known as the Treaty of Guangzhou, the main contents of which were:

First, all the treaties signed between France and the Manchu dynasty were null and void in the two provinces of Guangdong, which were administered by the Fuxing Army.

Second, France ransomed the French officers and soldiers captured by the Ba'ath Army with two million taels of silver.

Third, France and the Baath Army jointly helped Viet Nan to form a new political axe, during which the two sides could only send 500 soldiers each in Viet Nan to maintain the situation, and the two sides immediately withdrew after the formal establishment of the country.

Fourth, France recognizes the South China Sea as part of the territorial waters of the Renaissance Army.

Fifth, France returned some of the cultural relics taken from the Old Summer Palace to the Renaissance Army.

Since the first Opium War and the foreigners have been fighting against the present, the Manchu Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly, and unequal treaties have been signed one after another, and now there is finally a tough task to lead the Chinese people to defeat the foreigners, and all the Chinese are so excited that they cry!

On the other hand, in France itself, all French people do not believe that this is true!

Countless French nationals poured into the streets to demonstrate and express their rejection of the unequal treaty signed by the French political axe. They angrily scolded the French political axe for being weak and incompetent, and frantically rushed to the political axe's office to throw stones, rotten eggs, and other things.

In Guangdong, everyone ran out of the streets to cheer excitedly, and set off firecrackers and fireworks to celebrate warmly!

Wang Bo did not have fun with the people, and took a special train to Guangxi to visit all the officers and soldiers of the road army on the front-line battlefield, and then went to the Hainan Island Naval Base to celebrate the navy's achievements!

The current army and navy are Wang Bo's capital in China and even the world! With their support, he will have a greater voice and more respect!

After returning to Guangzhou, Wang Bo received some information from the intelligence department that the situation in Chaoxian was becoming more and more tense, and the Japanese State sent more than 10,000 soldiers to be stationed in Chaoxian, and the naval fleet was also cruising on the sea, and a major war was about to break out.

Since the navy of the revival army had just entered a fierce naval battle, although it was victorious, it suffered great losses, and it had not yet regained its combat effectiveness for the time being, and the land troops were beyond the reach of the whip, so they had to order to keep a close eye on the progress of everything.

At the same time, it's also an opportunity!

This year is 1894, according to historical development, the Sino-Japanese War was fought this year, as for the specific time Wang Bo is not clear, but this war for various reasons, the Manchu Dynasty land and sea battles were both defeated, and finally signed a variety of unequal treaties that lost power and humiliated the country.

Because of this, the Chinese people completely lost any hope for the Manchu Dynasty, and this was the opportunity that Wang Bo needed!

After waiting for so long and preparing for so long, I am waiting for this moment to come!

It was immediately ordered to implement a first-class combat readiness order, recall all retired soldiers, recruit new recruits from the civilian population, and ensure that all logistics departments ensure the supply of materials needed by the army.

On this day, Wang Bo suddenly saw an intelligence piece of information that a man named Sun Wen was practicing medicine in Guangzhou, Xiangjiang, Macao and other places, and at the same time forming an anti-Qing secret society and founding an anti-Qing revolutionary group.

He thought about it, isn't this Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who is known as Sun Dacan?

This person's various passionate slogans are true, and there are few that can really be done, but the expulsion of the Tatars and the overthrow of the Manchu Dynasty have been successful, and such great achievements are enough to be recited through the ages and go down in history!

It's okay for you to promote slogans, but why are you trying to win over the soldiers of the Ba'ath Army? Isn't this tearing down my corner?

Immediately ordered someone to warn Sun Wen that it is okay for you to go home to visit relatives, treat people, and travel and watch, but it is not okay to publicize your political slogans, otherwise, you will be expelled from all the areas under the management of the Fuxing Army and political axe, and you will be blacklisted from now on. Don't work blindly in the future against the Qing Dynasty, all of it will be done by the Revival Army, and you should do your promising career as a doctor!

In the early morning of July 23, 1894, Chaoxian's Japanese army raided the palace of Seoul, held King Chaoxian hostage, disbanded the pro-Chinese political axe of Korea, supported King Chaoxian's biological father Xingxuan Daewonjun to become regent, and established a pro-Japanese puppet political axe. The Wa state ordered the newly formed cabinet to sever ties with the Qing dynasty and "entrusted" the Wa army to expel the Qing troops stationed in Korea.

After taking control of Chaoxian Zheng Axe, on July 25, 1894 (June 23 of the first year of the lunar calendar), the Wa Kingdom attacked the battleships "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi" of the Beiyang Naval Division on the sea of Chaoxian Fengdao, and the Battle of Toshima broke out. At this point, the Japanese state finally detonated the Sino-Japanese War.

At this time, within the Qing court, the main battle faction led by Emperor Guangxu prevailed. However, the old lady Cixi was approaching her sixtieth birthday, and she did not want to prepare for war, but preferred to end the war as soon as possible by peace talks, so as not to delay her big celebrations.

After the Wa State officially declared war with the Manchu Dynasty, it was originally worried that the Revival Army would help the Manchu Dynasty, but it was found that although the Revival Army entered a state of combat readiness, the army and navy did not make any moves.

When the Emperor of the Wakuni Kingdom and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs found out, they were all overjoyed and shouted with joy, "Amaterasu God bless!" ”

After the war between the Baath Army and France, the fighting power of the Baxing Army made them jealous, and they had been hesitant to continue to launch a sneak attack on the Manchu Dynasty, but now there is no need to worry about being afraid, the Renaissance Army also wants to take advantage of this opportunity, so that they can rest assured to launch a war against the Manchu Dynasty.

In August 1894, the Manchu Dynasty appointed Ye Zhichao as the president of the various armies stationed in Pyongyang, and then a major battle broke out with the Japanese army in Chaoxian Pyongyang.

The Battle of Pyongyang was the first large-scale battle between the two armies.

At that time, the Qing army stationed in Pyongyang had a total of 35 battalions and 17,000 men; The Japanese army attacking Pyongyang had more than 16,000 troops, and the strength of the two sides was evenly matched.

The terrain of Pyongyang City is also very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the Qing army also had the support of the Chaoxian people. Although the current government of Chaoxian was forcibly drawn into the camp of the Japanese state, all the officials and people of Chaoxian actively assisted the Qing army in the war, and even the puppet compound monarch who was pushed to power by the Japanese state secretly transmitted information to the Qing army. It's a pity that the Qing army didn't take full advantage of these advantages,

In the situation of a stalemate in the war, military President Ye Zhichao was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he even erected a white flag on the battlefield to stop resistance and ordered the whole army to retreat. The Japanese army set up an ambush on the retreat of the Qing army. On a rainy night, the retreating Qing army was ambushed, and the formation was in chaos, with countless casualties.

At this point, the battle of Pyongyang ended in a great defeat for the Qing army. The Qing army ran 500 miles, fled all the way to the Yalu River, and crossed the Yalu River to return to China on August 21. The Japanese army marched all the way and quickly occupied the entire territory of Korea.

When Wang Bo saw the news reported by the intelligence department, he was no longer angry and angry, he just smiled coldly, it was time for the Manchu Dynasty to come to an end, but this needed to be pushed by himself again to completely destroy this decadent, backward and ignorant Manchu Dynasty!

On September 16, 1894, the main force of the combined fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division and the Japanese State fought a fierce naval battle in the Yellow Sea near Dadonggou at the mouth of the Yalu River, known as the Battle of the Yellow Sea.

All countries from around the world, as well as the Baath Army, sent representatives to the periphery of the battlefield to watch the battle.

Wang Bo even came to the Yellow Sea to watch this naval battle in the real world, which is called the rarest naval battle in the Far Eastern Theater in the history of modern world naval warfare, which shows its huge scale. He wanted to see how the navy, which was once called "the first in East Asia" and "the ninth in the world", failed!

The entire naval battle in the Yellow Sea lasted more than five hours, and the length of the battle and the intensity of the battle amazed all the delegates of various countries who watched the battle.

The Beiyang Naval Division lost four warships on the spot, "Zhiyuan," "Jingyuan," "Chaoyong," and "Yangwei," and the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan," two "Asia's largest ships," which had attracted the attention of the whole world, did not bring into full play their might at all.

Later, when the warships repaired by the Beiyang Naval Division were re-engaged, the fleet regrouped and ordered to withdraw from the battlefield at about 17:40.

During the whole naval battle, Wang Bo watched to the end under the explanation of the admiral next to him, during which he shook his head in disappointment again and again, the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division were old, and the internal boilers of some warships broke by themselves at the beginning of the naval battle, and the armor-piercing shells used by the naval guns were not only slow to fire and not accurate, but also most of the shells were still solid shells, not the kind of gunpowder shells that would explode, and the power was seriously insufficient.

The combined fleet of the Japanese state was well-trained, almost all of them were new-type warships, used large-caliber artillery, and were equipped with rapid-fire guns, developed new types of artillery shells, and surpassed the Beiyang Naval Division in overall tonnage, occupying a great advantage in naval warfare.

Although Wang Bo already knew that the Beiyang Naval Division would lose, and he was prepared, but after actually seeing it in person, he couldn't help but feel sad and helpless.

After a long time, after his mood stabilized, he asked, "Is our navy ready?" ”

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Pacific Fleet has been preparing in the nearby waters for a long time, as long as you see the combined fleet of the Japanese country, attack immediately!"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "I must stop and sink them for me!" For this naval battle, it can be said that the Japanese kingdom poured out, as long as their combined fleet was destroyed, they would never be able to jump up again! Even if you chase them to their doorstep, destroy them! ”

"Yes!"

This time, Wang Bo came to watch the battle in secret, and now the naval battle on the scene has come to an end for the time being, and he is surrounded by imperial powers who have bad intentions towards the revival of the military and political axe. Especially the country of France!

Because the two sides lost the last battle, they were forced to sign an unequal treaty for them, and they hated Wang Bo to the core, if they knew that Wang Bo was on the scene, maybe they would take risks and attack openly. At that time, I am afraid that the countries next to it will also be involved.

For the safety of their commander, the accompanying generals of the Fuxing Army forcibly took him back to Guangzhou overnight, despite Wang Bo's scolding.

Returning to the base port in Guangzhou, Wang Bo was furious and scolded all the generals, but the matter had come to this point, and he was helpless, he did not get off the ship and returned to the headquarters, saying that without the news of the Pacific Fleet, he would never set foot on land.

If the commander did not get off the ship, how could the other generals of the Renaissance Army dare to get off the ship, they all trembled and accompanied them as if they were walking on thin ice. But fortunately, the news of the Pacific Fleet has finally arrived!

At 19:22 on the same day, the Pacific Fleet under the Navy of the Fuxing Army discovered the Combined Fleet of the Japanese States and immediately caught up with it and launched an attack!

The combined fleet of the Japanese state was suddenly attacked, and was immediately stunned, and there was no time to react for a while. When they wanted to counterattack, they had no combat power to fight back, because most of their warships had been heavily damaged and there were few shells left. Subsequently, the ships of the Combined Fleet scattered and fled.

However, the Pacific Fleet had already laid an encirclement, and after more than two hours of pursuit, except for the two warships "Akitsuzu" and "Chiyoda," which had fled from the encirclement in a hurry and quickly fled to the mainland, the rest of the warships were either sunk or captured. At that time, the combined fleet of the Japanese countries was completely destroyed, and the Pacific Fleet paid only a very small price.

Subsequently, the Pacific Fleet did not return victoriously, except for a few ships to take care of the captured warships of the Combined Fleet, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, followed behind the two ships "Akitsuzu" and "Chiyoda", and went to the Japanese mainland together.

At this time, in order to launch this war of "gambling on the fortunes of the country", the Japanese State invested almost all its own capital into it, and only a few small gunboats and some backward wooden ships were left on the local ships.

The ensuing battle was all one-sided. The Pacific Fleet destroyed the last naval power of the Japanese state, and then carried out wanton bombardment of the Japanese mainland, bombing all the industrial cities of the Japanese country.

In an instant, the results of the Meiji Restoration, which had been bombed back to the Japanese country after the transformation of its primary industry, were destroyed, and all the Japanese people cried hoarsely: "Amaterasu has abandoned the ...... of the Yamato nation."

When the tragedy of the Japanese kingdom came out, the whole world was shocked and could not believe it!

The Japanese sent envoys to protest and strongly condemn the Fuxing Army, complained to the foreign powers, and hoped that the foreign powers would come forward to seek justice for the Japanese state.

At that time, the Japanese invasion of China was supported to a certain extent by the powers of the world.

The United States wanted the Japanese to be its assistant in the invasion of China and Chaoxian; England attempted to use the Japanese state to contain Tsarist Russia's influence in the Far East; In order to seize new interests by taking advantage of the Japanese invasion of China, Germany and France also supported the Japanese invasion of China. Although Tsarist Russia had great ambitions for Northeast China and Chaoxian, it was not yet ready, so it adopted a policy of non-interference in relation to the Japanese state.

The acquiescence or connivance of the great powers made the Japanese determined to carry out their plan to invade China.

And now, the obedient dog of the Wa Kingdom has been taught a hard lesson by the Revival Army, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog! What's more, it's still a dog raised by many powers!

The plans of various countries have all been disrupted by the Renaissance Army, and the interests that are about to be obtained are instantly lost, and it is said that cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents!

Wang Bo can be said to have stabbed the hornet's nest this time, and the ministers and representatives of various countries gathered at the revival army and political axe to ask questions non-stop, and Wang Bo could not give a reasonable explanation, so all countries united to deal with him.

Wang Bo only said lightly: "The Lord Zhongtang of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the founder of the Beiyang Naval Division, Li Hongzhang, is my father-in-law, his troops were shamelessly attacked, how can I, as his son-in-law, not save him, and I have to help out in a reasonable way, is this wrong?" Do you foreigners see that your relatives are in trouble, and you are cold-blooded and ruthless, and let your relatives live or die? ”

This was said so loftyly and reasonably, that the ministers and representatives of various countries present looked at each other and were speechless for a while! (To be continued.) )
