Chapter 1060: The Battle Begins
Wang Wu couldn't help it, and asked Tan Fusheng such a sentence.
It's not just the sworn brother who sat across from him, but he looks a little preoccupied at the moment, and his face is full of words that I have something.
What's more, although he Wang Wu is a rough man, it's right.
However, recently, as long as you are in Jingshi City, you can hear too much relevant news, knowing that Daqing is afraid that he will soon fight with the little devil.
The source of the news is not only because of the content that the newsboys running around the street outside the window are shouting and drinking.
So that as long as the ears are not deaf, they can hear a lot of bad news.
In addition, there are some unconfirmed gossip that is said to be circulated from the palace and military aircraft when the neighbors usually talk about it.
For example: Emperor Guangxu, Emperor Weng Tonghe, and a number of imperial parties since the beginning of the month.
advocated a war with the little devils, and was regarded as the main battle faction of the imperial court.
Do they think that the dignified youth can't beat those big-nosed foreign devils, and they can't beat those little devils in the island country who are hooped legs and dwarfs?
As the newspaper said, Daqing's land area is more than 30 times that of an island country.
The population is more than ten times that of the island country, and the fiscal revenue is five or six times that of the island country; No matter how you calculate, you can crush these little devils to death.
So in this battle, we must convince them and let the little devil have a long memory.
But Lao Buddha, she doesn't want to fight with the island country on her sixtieth birthday; And Li Zhongtang was unwilling to let his Beiyang side suffer heavy losses in this battle.
He was able to dominate Zhili and several northern provinces, not relying on the strongest army in Daqing?
In the case that neither of them wants to fight now, they can be regarded as the lords and factions of the imperial court.
For a while, the ministers of the imperial court were divided into two sides, and they quarreled non-stop, so that they heard that they were going to fight, and they were going to negotiate peace with the little devils of the island country for a while, and none of them came out.
And his sworn brother is a recent figure.
Because he constantly published articles in the "Northern Times", detailing the various disadvantages of Daqing, as well as the benefits of His Majesty the Emperor's pro-government.
There are also some advanced experiences in Yin, island countries, and constitutional monarchies.
Because there is something to say, he is regarded as a leading figure by the younger generation of readers; It is said that even Emperor Guangxu praised him in private.
thinks that as long as time passes, it must be the minister of Daqing.
It's just that at such an important moment, his brother didn't discuss the important state affairs of Asahima, with those scholars, but came to drink with himself.
With such a decadent expression on his face, naturally something is wrong......
After hearing the question of his righteous brother Wang Wu, Tan Fusheng tried his best to squeeze out a smile on his face, and said lightly:
"Fifth brother, I'm fine, you don't have to worry; It's just that I haven't been looking for you for a long time to drink, and I miss you a little, so I want to have a drink with you and talk about family life today. ”
It's just that the smiling face that was forcibly squeezed out like this, and the tone of the mouth, everything really doesn't seem convincing.
The reason why Tan Fusheng is like this is that he really has all kinds of things on his mind, but it is inconvenient to say it to other people, including this absolutely trustworthy brother.
Don't look at it now, he already has the status of the Qingliu younger generation of Daqing, recognized as the first person.
But only he himself knows, don't look at his articles in the newspaper, he is very sure about the benefits of the emperor's pro-government.
On the contrary, in his own heart, his confidence in the gamble with Xuan Geying became less and less.
Especially since the beginning of the Asahimama incident, all the clumsy behavior of Daqing has almost reached the point of despair.
It's just that now, the last fantasy in my heart is still unwilling to accept reality.
can only pray that this battle will not break out, otherwise Daqing is afraid that it will be completely finished.
Although he didn't know the specific layout of the Xuange camp this year, it was only the tip of the iceberg, and when he thought about it, he knew that Daqing was not an opponent at all.
Wang Wu faced his righteous brother, obviously had some inappropriate words, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, Xiao Er finally brought some braised pork, fried peanuts, and a pot of two pots.
Seeing this, Wang Wu, who had nothing to say, simply poured a glass of wine for Tan Fusheng and himself, picked up the wine glass and said loudly:
"Come, have a drink first, and then I'll take you to a bath, as long as you get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow you will get up again as a man who stands up to the sky."
After feeling Wang Wu's strong concern, Tan Fusheng finally showed a sincere smile.
Picking up his wine glass, he was about to let go of the bad things.
Just when Wang Wu's wine glass was about to touch Tan Fusheng, suddenly a voice full of horror shouted outside the restaurant:
"Hands-on, little devils did it to us at sea.
Today on the sea on the other side of Nafon Island, a fleet of devils attacked our troop carriers.
Caught off guard, we suffered heavy casualties; Even if there happened to be a cargo ship from Uncle Sam's family passing by at that time and rescued many people, it is estimated that many people were killed and drowned. ”
After hearing the above sounds, Tan Fusheng first dropped the wine glass in his hand, 'Ding Dong~', on the table.
Then, he stood up with a miserable face, and hit his legs and stomach on the table, not only overturning the dishes and chopsticks on the table, but also hitting his stomach with pain.
What he feared most was happening now.
Miraculously, at this moment, there was still a faint sense of relief in his heart; Because he knew that if the Xuange camp was on the throne, at least this nation would not be so humiliated.
Similarly, when such news spread, the last trace of illusion in the hearts of those young people who were expecting that they would not start a war with the little devil this time was also shattered.
It's just that they don't know how desperate they are now.
And if he knew this, Hu Biao would definitely tell them: the time to really make people desperate is far from coming......
*******
That's right! As in history, on July 25, the Battle of Toshima broke out.
The two ships, Jiyuan and Guangyi, escorted the rented merchant ships of the Yin Kingdom, loaded a group of soldiers and supplies, and sailed to the vicinity of Toshima, where they were shamelessly attacked by Japanese ships.
After a fierce battle, after the Jiyuan ship fired its tail gun and severely damaged the enemy ship Yoshino, he fled directly; After being wounded in battle, the Gwang-B was defeated and ran aground near the 18 islands of North Korea and was destroyed.
The Takasho, which was transporting more than 1,000 people at the time, was destroyed by the Naniwa under the command of Heihachiro Togo, and a large number of people on board fell into the water and died.
Xuange Camp, who has long understood this period of history, naturally will not do anything.
In fact, as early as ten days ago, the team had adopted various means, including but not limited to gossip, analysis of articles in newspapers, and even secret messages to the Beiyang side without signature.
If you want to make this a tragedy, it is best to avoid it.
But after they had done so much, this tragedy still happened.
The only thing that has changed is that they arranged a cargo ship from Uncle Sam's family in advance, which happened to pass by there and saved more than 200 people.
The number of deaths from 871 was reduced to 637.
In short, such an extremely helpless result made the Xuange camp feel quite powerless, and there was only one thought in his heart, Daqing, a pig teammate, was too difficult to bring......
