The original defenders of the Dalian Bay Fort Group were Liu Shenglin's troops of Song Qingyi's army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause of the defeat of Korea and the tight front, Li Hongzhang basically pulled the defenders of Dalian Bay and Lushun up. This response was often criticized in later generations, and the experienced artillery stationed in the forts was used as field troops, but the result was that the artillery with poor business was killed by the Japanese army, and in the future, these forts in strategic locations were garrisoned by newly recruited soldiers for several months.

The forts were full of Krupp heavy shore defenses, how could those soldiers who had been recruited for a few months be able to play? It's no wonder that people are panicking everywhere in the forts, and they don't know how to resist the Japanese attack if they have no equipment and no way to play.

After most of Song Qing's Yi army went to the front, Dalian and Lushun were empty. Zhao Huaiye received Li Hongzhang's order, hurriedly recruited six battalions of soldiers, and was sent to garrison the Dalian Bay Fort.

Zhao Huaiye belonged to the Ming Army, and Dalian and Lushun still had a part of the troops under the command of the Yi Army, which was another thunder planted by Li Hongzhang.

In order to coordinate and manage these troops, Li Hongzhang promoted Taoist Gong Zhaoxi to the post of the former enemy's battalion office, and for a time Gong Zhaoxi was called "the hidden commander."

However, Lord Zhongtang soon found that he had made a mistake again, where could a small Taoist control those proud soldiers who had experienced the Taiping Heavenly War and the Peace Twist War. These troops continued to fight among themselves, and even when the Japanese army tightened the blockade and the food and grass became increasingly tight, they even started to fight. Gong Zhaoxi really became invisible this time, completely ignoring the internal affairs of the armies.

Zhao Huaiye, a master of the civil war, was so afraid of the Japanese that he couldn't think independently, and he couldn't see a trace of a battle-hardened general at all. As soon as the Japanese army landed at Huayuankou at the end of October, he hurriedly appealed to Li Hongzhang for help, asking for 10 more battalions.

Isn't this Nima? Let's not talk about whether Li Hongzhang has ten battalions of troops in his hands that can be adjusted, this Jinzhou City is at the front, and your Dalian Bay is in the rear of the side, and if there are troops to adjust, you can't throw them on the forts in your rear first.

Of course, Zhao Huaiye's brain-dead request was reprimanded by Lord Zhongtang, but instead of being scolded and woken up, this buddy made a surprising move anyway - selling military rations, exchanging cash for silver, and preparing to run away.

When the Japanese army approached Jinzhou City, Xu Bangdao, who was originally stationed in Dalian Bay with him, led his troops to help, and this guy sold even more. When Xu Bangdao sent someone to ask him for help because of the war, this guy was actually supervising the loading of ships on the dock and was busy cashing in military funds.

With such a commander, it is no wonder that those soldiers under him have no will to fight. Originally, these people came to serve as soldiers just to eat food and get paid, and people in this era have no sense of family and country. As a result, the main general was busy reselling military rations, and everyone was secretly looking for their own way out.

Some people thought about it and kept an eye on the main general Zhao Huaiye, and he quickly followed him as soon as he ran. However, some people are more well-informed and have a better understanding of the situation on the Liaodong Peninsula, so their thoughts are naturally different. In their hearts, they felt that there was a better option than to run away with this boss who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

A few days ago, the flag soldiers of the Jiesheng Battalion in Jinzhou City, who had been reselling Japanese military uniforms and flags to Dalian Bay, told them a lot about the Jinzhou front.

They knew that there was a group of Chinese people near Thirty Mile Fort, and they beat this Japanese to the point that it was a blue nose and swollen face, and there were six or seven hundred Japanese captives outside the camp. It is rumored that they not only sell Japanese military uniforms and flags, but if you are not afraid of the smell, they also buried thousands of Japanese corpses in the mountains, and you can dig them up if you give money.

What is the concept of killing thousands of Japanese people, the Qing Dynasty retreated all the way from Korea to Haicheng, and fought fiercely with the Japanese on the Liaodong Peninsula for more than a month, and the Japanese killed and wounded did not have more than a fraction of the results of these people.

I heard that this group of people claimed to be the Great Song Dynasty and were descendants of the Southern Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and if they dared to publicize it like this, they were afraid that they would pull the flag and rebel. But now this Liaodong is also a dead end, and the battle of the Qing Dynasty will definitely not be won, and they may not be able to run. This lord will transport all the family members back to the gate, and they can run away if they get on the ship, but they are the newly recruited big soldiers, how can they have a place on the ship. Both horizontally and vertically are dead, so it is better to vote for the Great Song Dynasty, judging from their strong combat power, if they vote for them, they may be able to make a dragon in the future. If the Great Song Dynasty is not good, it will be a big deal to suffer from the Qing Dynasty again, and there were many people who did not do it like this back then.

This found a way to survive, and Zhao Huaiye's subordinates began to operate actively, among which a battalion officer named Zhou Dingchen was the most active. On that day, when Xu Bangdao was fighting fiercely in Shimenzi and Wuyi, he asked Zhao Huaiye for help. Zhao Ran ran and said: I am ordered by the Zhongtang to guard the fort and not fight with the rear road. insisted on not sending troops to help.

But Nian Zai is from the Ming Army, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet in the future. Or sent Zhou Dingchen to bring two outposts of infantry to help. In this way, this week, Dingchen can be regarded as really seeing the strength of the traversal. Not to mention that standing on the hill on the flank of Shimenzi at random scared off the attack of the Japanese people, and he also heard of it that day when the little prince of the Great Song Dynasty led a few personal soldiers and dared to bombard Jinzhou City. Afterwards, he also went to see the collapsed gun emplacement and women's wall in the east of Jinzhou City.

For this army, which claims to be the Marine Corps of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhou Dingchen's evaluation is that it is a division of tigers and wolves. Can fight and dare to fight, really regard it as a Japanese like grass and trees, there are many rumors among the people nearby, this Great Song Dynasty often has a small force to dare to attack the Japanese position, and there are many gains. What surprised Zhou Dingchen even more was that the Great Song Dynasty actually blackmailed the Japanese for money and food many times.

My God, when did the Chinese people become the masters of the false claims, this Qing Dynasty from the Daoguang period, constantly being beaten by people, constantly being asked for compensation, this land has been cut I don't know how many Liaodong Peninsula so big places. Now there are actually Chinese people who can blackmail others into asking for money and food.

Zhou Dingchen felt that it was better to run away with Zhao Huaiye than to vote for the Great Song Dynasty, although his boss bought a lot of Japanese military uniforms and flags for future life-saving purposes. But Zhou Dingchen clearly realized that if this battle is lost, Lord Zhongtang will let the imperial party be brought down, even if you hold the Rising Sun Banner given by Emperor Uyi in your hand, it is useless, and you will still be punished.

These days, Zhou Dingchen has been in close contact with Ma San, the former Jiesheng battalion flag soldier who voted for the Great Song Dynasty, his words are always vague, saying that the superiors accept their surrender in principle, but their future arrangements are still under consideration.

Zhou Dingchen didn't know what this Great Song Dynasty wanted to consider, so he directly sent someone to occupy this Dalian Bay, so Zhao Huaiye was even afraid of the Great Song Dynasty, and borrowed his ten guts, he still dared to touch this Great Song Dynasty Tiger beard? (To be continued.) )
