late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 654 On the Cruiser

In the middle of the night, Zheng Hengdan rushed out of the room excitedly, and walked like the wind. The radio station finally received a military secret from the Japanese army. Ryukyu County Magistrate Nishimura Sanjia sent a secret message to Lieutenant General Xixiang Congdao. The Xinwu Army radio team deciphered the value of the message. Qianjin has extremely high military value. Li Guolou is waiting for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Great Qingshui Division is about to sail away.

"Li Zhentai, get up quickly and everything is ready!" Zheng Hengdan broke into Li Guolou's bedroom directly, his voice trembling with excitement

Suddenly Li Guolou sat up straight like a zombie and said anxiously: "Show me the little pole quickly."

"It is reported that the three families of Changxi Village, Changxi Village, Ryukyu County, Li Zhentai, will bring a batch of supplies to Langqiao. They are on the cruiser Fusang. In the secret message, there is only one cruiser mentioned." Zheng Hengdan was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and handed it to Li Guolou with a trembling hand. I can't hold the telegrams

Li Guolou stood barefooted under the oil lamp and watched the telegram, muttering: "This is good, this is good, we should arrive in time on June [-]th, and send orders to beat drums and fire cannons, and prepare for the big Qingshui division."

"Yes" Zheng Hengdan lifted his spirits, stood up straight and gave a military salute, and finally looked forward to the day of departure, working day and night just for this day to come sooner

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of drums, and salutes roared, and the whole Mawei Harbor was shaken. Lanterns were hung in the barracks. All the officers and soldiers knew that this was not a drill. The Great Qingshui Division was about to sail away.

Ships hung windproof lights and sailed slowly out of Mawei Port. The warships that had been in combat readiness for a long time set off when they heard the sound of gunfire. The telegraph room on each ship was the busiest, sending and receiving telegrams. Reading the instructions given to him by Commander-in-Chief Li Guolou

Two cruisers, the Mighty and the Mighty, six battleships, twenty frigates (mosquito ships), and a huge wooden fleet, supply ships, and troop carriers all set out in one day, and the current way is twenty mosquito ships. They are the eyes of the navy as the vanguard of the mission[

Li Hongzhang and Ding Richang hurried to the pier to see off Li Guolou. There was no majestic departure ceremony. Li Hongzhang asked, "Commander Li, are you ready?"

Li Guolou raised his chest and protruded his belly and marched in salute: "Report that Li Zhongtang is ready to bring the news of victory back to the motherland."

"Well, I believe you can complete the task, and the people of the motherland are waiting for you to sing the song of victory." Li Hongzhang boarded the cruiser Mighty and shook hands with every officer. He entrusted the burden of the navy to Li Guolou, and acted for the officers and soldiers of the navy very seriously.

Li Guolou, dressed in brand-new military uniform, stood on the side of the ship and watched the warships sailing one after another. He has the ability to shoulder the responsibility of the rise and fall of the country, and the burden of the rise of a nation. The yellow dragon flag flying high symbolizes the arrival of the Chinese nation's take-off.

Li Hongzhang, Ding Richang and others worked hard to see off the warships at the port without delay. Ding Richang was a little dissatisfied and said: "Master Fu, why didn't you see the White Snake Lord?"

Li Hongzhang flicked his official sleeves and scolded angrily: "Absurd Ding Xiaogui, this is my heroic Daqingshui master who is going to fight, what is the matter with White Snake Langjun?"

"Why don't you care about Mr. White Snake, he is the protector of Master Qingshui, and he always wants to say something auspicious." Ding Richang still felt something was missing, and he was uneasy because he didn't see Mr. White Snake.

"You are still a scholar, don't you talk about the strange power, the chaos, the gods, don't you understand the stick?" Li Hongzhang shook his head and sighed.

"Oh, so I'm Brother Bangchui." Ding Richang is a smart man, and immediately figured out the whole story of the play. Walking in front of Li Hongzhang with swaying steps, Ding Richang is not big or small, this is his territory, so he should walk in the front

Li Hongzhang looked at the empty port after a tiring day, and his heart became lost. The unknown ocean was full of variables. He didn't ask Li Guolou's battle plan. Since he entrusted the Taiwan naval battle to Li Guolou, he gave him [-]% trust. This time Li Guolou is Gathering the power of a country to fight the Japanese army, there is only one way to win. Where is the battlefield? Li Guolou's secrecy work is excellent. Even he doesn't know where Li Guolou will put the battlefield.

Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly that Li Guolou was too treacherous and liked to deceive the world. The secret code sent by the Qingshui Division said that the Qingshui Division sent troops to Keelung Hong Kong to reinforce Taiwan Island. Into the trap of Li Guolou

Luo Xingshan is filled with pennants of the Ever Victorious Army, but this mercenary army has long since left Mawei Port. Two thousand of the Ever Victorious Army have already boarded the troop transport ship to Taiwan. "Forced" by death, he must go to Taiwan to fight. The victorious army went to fight in Taiwan

After leaving Mawei Port, the Daqingshui Division re-formed in the vast sea, with a total of 86 ships organized into three T-shaped teams and sailed towards Taiwan Island. After that, the radio remained silent.

Only the Weili issued four false telegrams. With such a huge fleet going to the mouth of the Minjiang River, there must be Japanese spies disguised as fishermen to observe the situation of the Daqingshui Division. The Japanese army will soon know that the Daqingshui Division has gone to sea. Therefore, in recent times, the Xinwu Army has used old-fashioned codes to send reports and intentionally released some real information. Tongzhi Emperor's report

This old-fashioned secret code of the Qing army was written by Hong Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, for the Qing army[

Hong Jun is the No. [-] Scholar. He reads very well. He is very clever. The secret code he compiled is much improved compared to the past, and it is also very difficult to crack. But Hong Jun has one thing that is not good. He likes shopping in brothels and having fun in romantic places. This is why Li Guolou has reason to believe that the secret code written by Hong Jun has been cracked by the Japanese army. He has never believed that Hong Jun's Sai Jinhua, who can speak foreign languages, is like a foreign spy Hong Jun's family has already been put into another book by him.

Li Guolou sits on the Mighty cruiser and watches the steps of the naval officers and soldiers practicing firing the gun. The space of the sea fort is small. For the artillery, every action must pay attention to efficiency. Watching the gunner carry the gun is a kind of enjoyment of strength and beauty. The heaviest flowering is enough. Some gunners can carry a gun as heavy as 160 catties by themselves, and the gun has no edges and corners, and the gun body is smooth and not easy to hold. It can be seen that there are many strong men on a cruiser.

Only young men with the best body in the Qing Dynasty are eligible to join the navy. As for the salaries of the officers and soldiers of the navy, they are twice as high as those of the Xinwu Army. The navy officers and soldiers of the crude iron-clad warship are the proud sons of the Qing Dynasty

The observer raises the binoculars and reports the coordinates. The gunner sitting behind the gun mount quickly swings the arm lever. There are scales on the scope to calculate the distance of the coordinates. It takes only a few seconds for the gunner to accurately aim at the false enemy in the distance. Then the gunner pointed to the officer. The report shows that the target is locked, and the officer checks whether the coordinates are correct. The next step is to unload the gun and replace it with another gunner, and the sailors keep watering the gun body to reduce the temperature of the gun barrel. This is the training in front of each gun. Officers also work as gunners, all of them are strong and strong. The training intensity of naval officers and soldiers is astonishing. One hour and one class has already exhausted people to the ground.

Li Guolou watched the sturdy gunner step forward and said, "I can lift a 160-jin flower."

Li Guolou had just bent down before moving up, and Feng Zicai stepped on the barrel of the mighty horn next to him to prevent Li Guolou from moving the cannon, and stopped shouting: "Commander Li, you must know yourself. There is no need for you to show your ability to check the work and do your duty. If there is a mistake, you must correct it and never tolerate the slightest mistake. If a ship is missing a screw, it may sink the ship. You must do your duty as a screw.”

When Li Guolou saw Feng Zi, he didn't pat his greasy hand for face and said, "Feng Guan told you that it makes sense. Come here according to your rules and I will listen to your orders."

Feng Zicai is in his 40s, with a strong body and a big beard. He looks like the loyal and righteous Guandi. His life is full of legends. He was originally the leader of the Tiandihui who surrendered to the Qing army after he was defeated. The spirit fit Zeng Guofan's taste very well, he became Zeng Guofan's confidant, and as a partisan division, he was commended by the court after he eliminated the Taiping Army.

Wu Yazhong's failure does not mean that the anti-Qing forces of heaven and earth will finally disappear. Soon Wu Yazhong's remaining troops gathered around his old department, Huang Chongying, with 4 people, known as the "Yellow Banner Army." In 1871, Feng Zicai went out for the second time to attack. Heyang Feng Zicai, the base of the Yellow Banner Army, found out that there was a conflict between Liu Yongfu and Huang Chongying for the battle for victory, so he sent Yang Ruishan and Feng Yueliang to see Liu Yongfu and sent five-rank blue feathers and merit cards to ask the Black Banner Army to help in the battle. Liu Yongfu immediately agreed to his request One month later, the Qing Army, the Black Banner Army, and the Annan Army jointly captured Heyang. Huang Chongying was defeated and went away, and the Black Banner Army became the Qing's non-staffed army stationed in Annan. Liu Yongfu joined the Qing Dynasty and became a general of the Qing Dynasty.

Feng Zicai handed over Heyang to the local governor of Annan Sanqi because of the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, and he was severely reduced due to combat. The troops returned to Longzhou. Xu Yanxu also impeached him. He dismissed Feng's nephew, Feng Zhaojin, and protested against him at the very beginning of his tenure.

But Ding Richang, governor of Fujian Province, invited Feng Zicai to come out of the mountain. Now Feng Zicai is in charge of the cruiser Mighty in the Nanyang Navy. Let Li Guolou remember that he knows that Feng Zicai is not the one to be charming

After a short rest, the navy officers and soldiers began to practice again. Li Guolou was deeply impressed by the hard-working spirit of the navy officers and soldiers. On the blue sky, blue sea and blue waves, the fleet drove in an orderly manner, and the towering chimneys rose one after another. Heiyun has such a huge navy under his command. Li Guolou is full of pride. He really wants to write a poem, but he also thinks that if he does such a pedantic thing before the battle, he will be looked down upon by the navy officers and soldiers. Go to the command room to see the combat chart

In the command room, Feng Zicai was fiddling with the naval officers on the Mighty, setting up battle models on the map. Seeing Li Guolou walk in, Feng Zicai beckoned, "Commander Li is silent on the wire now, you can always say we Where should we put the battlefield so that we can show the probability of victory or defeat in the war?"

Feng Zicai's nephew, Feng Zhaojin, shouted: "That's right, Commander Li, we don't have Japanese spies here, you are afraid of a bird."

Feng Zhaojin is the third officer of the Mighty cruiser, but he already has the power of the first officer. Feng Zicai always takes this nephew who caused trouble for him

Li Guolou looked at the pair of uncles and nephews and said with a smile: "Mr. White Snake gave me a warning and told me the movement of the Japanese army convoy. This time our army is not going to Keelung Port but to Diaoyu Island to intercept the cruiser Fusang."

Seeing Li Guolou's finger pointing at Diaoyu Island, Feng Zhaojin squinted and said, "Commander Li, are you joking? This kind of thing is also calculated by Mr. White Snake."

Li Guolou said seriously: "Third Deputy Feng will count the victory and defeat of the enemy and our navy based on the Diaoyu Islands naval battle."

Feng Zicai sneered and said, "Commander Li, I have learned from you, so you are the biggest magic stick."

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Feng Guantai tried it before we found out that it doesn't work. It's a big deal. Let's go back to Keelung Port."

"Hey, that's the only way to do it. It's useless for Ding Futai to take such a fancy to you." Feng Zicai has no choice but to turn the model towards the Diaoyu Islands. The navy has already set out. division slaughter

"Oh, it's strange, Commander Li, why didn't you let Mr. White Snake stay on the mighty ship?" Feng Zhaojin talked a lot and saw that Li Guolou was lying

Li Guolou looked around and said to him: "Start with the Diaoyu Islands naval battle, the imaginary enemy is the Japanese cruiser Fuso. The number of enemy ships will not exceed [-]. Our army will attack the Japanese warships in T formation to lure the enemy ships to attack our command warships."

All the generals looked at Li Guolou together. Although this commander-in-chief is not academically courageous, there are still merits.
