The Determination sank amidst an exclamation. The fleet commander looked at his subordinates who were busy transferring the crew, and couldn't help thinking, "Who is attacking us?"

Suddenly he thought of a name: "Lin Yuan". At the same time, he also thought of the mysterious big ship, a large ship with a displacement of more than [-] tons. fleet.He thought: "Will this Lin Yuan use this trick against our fleet? It would be great if he came. I will definitely capture him alive."

Although the commander was not sure what he thought, he also thought that he should no longer march to Beijing, so he ordered the fleet to return to Hong Kong.

Looking at the returning British fleet, Lin Yuan didn't know why, but he didn't feel a little relaxed in his heart. He vaguely felt that a bigger crisis was coming!

Lin Yuan's premonition was correct. As soon as the news of the complete annihilation of the Beiyang Fleet spread, it caused a series of chain reactions. France declared war on the Qing court. France organized an expeditionary force of about 1 people and marched towards Taiwan, intending to capture Taiwan.

Germany also declared war on the Qing court and sent a fleet to Jiaozhou Bay.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire, the United States of America, and the Kingdom of Italy also declared war on the Qing court, but these three countries only sent a small number of troops. The warship, the Kingdom of Italy only sent a medical team of about 50 people.

If these countries want to attack the Qing Dynasty, they must go through the sea. What really worries Lin Yuan is Japan and Russia.

Needless to say, Russia is the number one threat to Northeast China. Since Russia seized the right to build railways in Northeast China, Russia has built railways in Northeast China. It can dispatch a large number of troops into Northeast China at any time. In the history that Lin Yuan knows, During the Eight-Power Allied Forces invasion of China, Russia occupied Northeast China in this way.

There is also Japan. Since the Japanese secretly killed Concubine Min, the King of Korea has been completely reduced to a Japanese puppet. North Korea invited the Japanese army to enter North Korea on the grounds of consolidating national defense. Soon Japan sent 1 troops to North Korea. , Seoul and other important cities in North Korea, and hoarded a large amount of food, ammunition and other combat materials on the border between China and North Korea.

Although the Japanese navy captured nine main warships by Lin Yuan, with the strong support of the Japanese government and the secret support of the British government, a new navy was quickly established, with personnel from the original joint fleet.Fuji and Yashima, the first to be purchased from England, became the capital ships of the new combined fleet.

Lin Yuan was taken aback when he got the news. He knew that in history, these two battleships were ordered by Japan from the United Kingdom in 1894, on the eve of the Sino-Japanese War, and they did not join the United Fleet until 1897. What he did not expect was that , after Japan was defeated by Lin Yuan and the Beijing ship, the British worked overtime on the manufacture of warships in order to support Japan against the mysterious force of the Beijing ship. The steam engine and artillery on board were disassembled and installed on these two warships, and these two warships were built so quickly.

In order to avenge the failure of the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan was always ready to attack the Qing Dynasty. After hearing that the entire Beiyang Fleet was wiped out, Japan immediately sent a joint fleet to patrol the Liaodong Peninsula and was ready to land at any time. The Japanese army in North Korea was also ready to cross the Yalu River to attack China northeast.

At this point, the Eight-Nation Alliance was formally formed. In it, there are not only countries that are bent on aggression like Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Japan, but also countries like Austria-Hungary, Italy, and the United States that want to fish in troubled waters and get some benefits.Lin Yuan was familiar with the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, where troops from eight countries gathered to attack Beijing, but this time, each country will launch aggression against China from different strategic directions.

When Lin Yuan was worried that Russia and Japan might attack Northeast China from the land, the people in Northeast China were still unaware of the danger.

After killing the Russians, Lao Heishan resolutely went to the Yamen to surrender in spite of everyone's dissuasion.

Seeing that Lao Heishan couldn't resist, Wang Er scolded Lao Heishan like a stubborn donkey while going back to raise money. A few days later, Wang Liang raised hundreds of taels of silver and spent dozens of taels to buy a high-quality mountain ginseng , came to the county government.

Wang Erdao had always given the county magistrate good things, and the two were considered acquainted, so the county magistrate invited Wang Erdao to the back hall, and Wang Erdao said with a smile: "My lord, the younger one gave me a gift in the mountains recently." The Russians got wood and got a piece of wild ginseng, but I don’t know if it’s good or not, but you are an expert in this field, you specially brought it to help the little one palm your eyes.”

The county magistrate has been in the officialdom for a long time, and when he heard what Wang said, he understood the meaning, so the county magistrate smiled and said: "This thing is a good thing, my dear brother, please rest assured, when this storm passes, the lumberyard will return to you. After finishing speaking, he took the box containing wild ginseng to himself.

Wang Liang smiled and said, "My lord, I came here to ask about Lao Heishan."

The county magistrate trembled in his heart and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Wang Liang said: "What crime can this old Heishan be convicted of? Can he be given a lighter sentence..."

Before Wang Er could finish speaking, the county magistrate pushed the box in front of him and said, "My dear brother, don't bring up this matter again, that old Heishan killed a Russian, and this is something that the Empress Dowager Lafayette should worry about. How can I, a small county magistrate, be able to control me." Then, the county magistrate put one end of the teacup, and the entourage immediately shouted: "See off!"

Wang Er was helpless, so he had to come out and walk towards Shutou Village. When he didn't want to pass by Liujia Village, he saw a young man with a smile on his face stopped him and said with a smile: "My lord, there is a happy event in our village, why don't you go have a drink?" bar?"

It turned out that Liu Dazhuang and Jing'er were going to get married. The Liu family village has always been hospitable, and if there is such a thing, they must invite a few passing guests.

Wang Liang didn't have that leisurely mind, and said angrily: "No, no, no!"

That later life is Liu Dazhuang's good friend, the little Wuzi, as the saying goes: "Don't hit the smiling face when you stretch out your hand." When the little Wuzi saw Wang Er talking with his nose not his nose, his eyes not his eyes, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and then he said goodbye Said angrily: "Let's go."

Wang Liang was so full of anger that he had nowhere to vent, so he said angrily, "Hey, you young man, how are you talking like this?"

Little Wuzi said angrily: "Just talk like that, what can you do!"

Wang Liang was single, not afraid of anything, and sneered, "Didn't you let me go to the wedding? Well, I'll go right away!"

Little Wuzi didn't expect Wang Er to say such a sentence. Before he could speak, Wang Er said again: "Look at how I turned a happy event into a funeral for you!"
