Lin Yuqing, the "Baomin" pipe belt, saw clearly the three giant ironclad ships that were coming quickly in the distance, and didn't seem to know where the strength came from, pushed away the support of his own soldiers, threw down the side of the ship, and looked carefully and greedily at the yellow dragon flag flying on the giant ironclad ship, to be honest, at such a distance, he couldn't see the yellow dragon above at all, but Lin Yuqing couldn't help but burst into tears at this time, beside him, several soldiers covered in blood, and even soldiers with mutilated hands and feet also cried, I've never seen them frown when they've been injured before! "It's our sailor, it's the Beiyang sailor!" Lin Yuqing pointed to the Beiyang Navy Ship in the distance, turned his head to look at the soldiers on the ship, his eyes were red, and his eyes were still so shining under the smoke of gunpowder, "We are saved!" The end of the French has come! ”

At this time, everyone hugged together, who still cares about the artillery and the blazing fire, no one cares, "Brother Lu!" Lin Yuqing gritted his teeth, "See, the end of the French has come!" ”

The staff officer next to Wu Changqing who persuaded him to preserve his strength couldn't help but become a statue, "What's the matter?" Didn't the Beiyang Sailor go north! Xisheng also said that he would not waste the Beiyang Sailor here in Nanyang! I thought that this battle was the death of our Nanyang Navy Division and the French! ”

Wu Changqing laughed, the three ironclad ships from the Beiyang Navy Division had successfully entered Haiphong Port, and he could see clearly that it was the 7,000-ton "Zhenyuan"!

The 3,000-ton "Laiyuan"!

The 3,000-ton "Jingyuan"!

The three warships pressed into Haiphong Harbor like a kun, and behind them were more than 10 gunboats, ramming cruisers, and shore defense ironclads, and the Frenchman's most powerful "Phillips" was only 4,000 tons. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Changqing laughed, "Xishengzhi is as deep as the sea, you little people, what are you counting?" Did you see that the French had fallen for the scheme, thinking that sending all those small boats to Thang Long was not a big deal? If it weren't for that, how could the Zhenyuan go south and enter the Gulf of Tonkin to avoid the detectives of the French warships? This battle, next, is waiting for the sensation in the world! ”

A few days ago, in the Deyue Building, the Empress Dowager Cixi had just had a seizure of Dong Yuanol, not only dismissed the unlucky military department, but also took Dong Yuanol's part-time job as the imperial history of the left capital by the way, and the ministers of military aircraft retreated in turn, leaving only Rong Lu alone, and Li Lianying waiting, obviously to talk about military matters.

It's just that this time, what the Empress Dowager Cixi said was a little too sensational, "Dong Yuanol has been attacked like this, and he has made a clear will to announce it to the world, Rong Lu, can you hide the French?" ”

"The slave thinks that there is about a fifty percent chance to hide the past, generally speaking, the foreigners are still very credible about the orders of our court, this is one point, and Lord Guo Songtao has negotiated with the French here in Shanghai, according to your instructions and the conditions put forward, the French must know that we are indeed making concessions, so to a certain extent, they will think that we are sincerely seeking peace."

"This is the way to make the French believe," Rong Lu continued, "Besides, Xisheng has already made the new army prepare in the south, and ordered the Black Flag Army to harass Thang Long Mansion, whether he believes it or not, he has to divide his troops to save Thang Long Mansion, so our chances of victory are a little greater." Moreover, Xisheng has issued an order to clear the waterway and prohibit outsiders from entering the waterway escorted by the Beiyang Naval Division, so that outsiders do not know how many warships of the Beiyang Naval Division are heading north, and they have ordered the Guangdong Naval Division to sweep the relevant sea areas, which can be concealed from the sky again. ”

"Then, in the final analysis, it depends on whether the Nanyang sailors can withstand it." The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded slowly and said.

"It is precisely this reason, if the Nanyang Naval Division can't withstand it, then it won't be useful to rely on the Beiyang Naval Division to run thousands of miles."

"Yes."

"If you can't stand it, I'm afraid that even if you hide it, you won't be able to use it." The Empress Dowager Cixi stood up irritably, and walked around with her hands behind her back in the Deyue Tower, she had to be a little irritable, the war at this time had been entangled and changed a large area, and the French were afraid that China's completely different naval forces in history could not continue to attack Mawei Port, and what they knew before was completely useless! This is the greatest benefit of the traverser, but now, it is no longer needed, but in this way, it is not a good thing to take the initiative to attack, but the sneak attack of the Nanyang Navy Division on Haiphong Port not only involves the battle on the sea, but also relates to the one-time victory of the war situation in Vietnam! There is no room for any mistakes, Rong Lu seemed to see the Empress Dowager Cixi's restlessness, and softly comforted, "Xisheng don't worry." The Empress Dowager Cixi raised her head and looked at Rong Lu's eyes, Rong Lu's eyes were very gentle and bright, like clear streams, "There is no perfect way to do everything, and it can't be ten percent successful, the slave thinks that if there is a half probability of success, you can do it." ”

Rong Lu continued to say gently, "The Black Flag Army has already ignited a fire in Shenglong Mansion, even if the Nanyang Naval Division returns in vain, it can also reduce the pressure on the Langsheng front, and the rest of the two towns of the New Army can also fight down, but I am afraid that I will not be able to do my best, twenty years ago, he and the legal person were still defeated and lost, if they can win a game now, it will also be a good thing for the world to congratulate the Western Sage." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi heard Rong Lu's words, and her original irritability gradually calmed down, she nodded, "What you said is reasonable, but I am obsessed, the plan is very big, and the gains and losses have risen, since it has been decided, then there is no need to worry too much, since the establishment of the two oceans naval division, it has never experienced a big war or a small war, and now it is time to take a look at the results, if the Nanyang naval division is feasible, then this time, it will never be ugly to lose!" As long as the French North Vietnamese fleet is defeated, then the Nanyang Naval Division will be completely annihilated, and I will not hesitate to do it! Xiao Lizi sent a secret telegram, according to the original agreed method, except for a few warships originally scheduled to be anchored in Shanghai Port, the rest of the Beiyang Naval Division immediately left the port, first went north, then sailed away from the coast, quickly went south, and besieged Haiphong Port! ”

"Huh!"

"In addition," the Empress Dowager Cixi replied to her resolute and capable appearance, "Send a telegram to Zuo Zongtang, this matter is his end, let him keep an eye on it," Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes narrowed, "If Haiphong Port is taken, then according to the established plan, it will be launched immediately!" ”

"Huh!"
