Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 128
光绪17年二月初九（公元1891年），大清正式向宣战。关绪清指派东北集团军大将军董梁为入朝总指挥，统帅麾下第13师、29师、30师与先前入朝部队第1师、第7师组成远征军。征讨及与联盟之一切武装力量。

In addition, the elites of the Beiyang Fleet are all out, "Zhenyuan", "Dingyuan", "Weiyuan", "Jiyuan", "Chengfeng", "Victory", "Triumph", "Break the Waves", "Sail", "Flying Eagle" ", "Sea Lion", "Rising" twelve capital ships and "Jingyuan", "Laiyuan", "Zhiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Pingyuan", "Guangjia", "Guangji", " Guangbing" and "Guangding" are five "Yuan" class gunboats with a displacement of 2000 tons, and four "Guang" class torpedo ships with a displacement of 1000 tons.Such a huge Beiyang warship seems to form a Great Wall at sea in the Yellow Sea.

But even so, Guan Xuqing was still worried.From the Nanyang Fleet, a team composed of "Changsheng", "Invincible", "Nanji", "Nanxiang", "Daqing No. [-]" and "Daqing No. [-]" (captured British Royal No. [-], No. [-] [-]-ton round) A fleet of six battleships headed north for reinforcements.

Lushun Naval Port, Dagu Naval Port, and Wusong Shipyard all stopped their ongoing shipbuilding work and were all on standby for emergency repairs to warships.A big battle is about to take place.

In teahouses and restaurants in major cities near the capital and the southeast coast, businessmen and students from all over the country were discussing the actions in North Korea and the upcoming war.

In the imperial court, Guan Xuqing personally approved and completed the documents for the mobilization of troops and horses from various places.In addition, a secret telegram was sent to Zhao Bingjun, so that he could directly contact Dong Liang with a single line for any military situation in the future, and then play.

Internationally, the declaration of war by the Qing Dynasty on Japan aroused the attention of Germany, the United States, Russia, Britain, France and other countries.After all, both Britain and France were affected by various domestic situations in the two previous wars fought by the Qing Dynasty. Although the fighting power shown by the Qing Dynasty was quite strong, there were factors of fluke in several victories.Germany attaches the most importance to the Qing Dynasty. On the one hand, it wants to test the strength of this eastern ally, and on the other hand, it also wants to earn a good amount of arms expenses from the Qing Dynasty.Regardless of whether Russia has a good impression of the Qing Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, it is happy to watch the excitement. No matter who loses, it is the best time for Russia to expand to it.The thinking of Britain and France is even simpler. They just hope that the Qing Dynasty, which is becoming stronger and stronger, can be consumed through war.Then the United Kingdom can turn around and attack Burma and the three northwestern provinces of the Qing Dynasty after dealing with the affairs of Africa.They don't care about providing more loans, and even say that the whole can become British mercenaries.If the battle is defeated, then there is no need to be polite to this incompetent lackey, and it is time for them to pay back the money after the sponsorship is stopped.According to the current situation, if you cannot defeat the Qing Dynasty, you will definitely not have the ability to repay the loan. It is also a good choice to cut a few colonies at that time.The United States is concerned about the industrial capabilities of the Qing Dynasty, to see if the Qing Dynasty has the ability to do more industrial exchanges with the United States after several years of development.After all, the whole world is envious of China's grenades and mortars. I don't know what new gadgets will appear in China in this war.Who knows?
Just as the whole world was focusing on China and the East in the East, a fierce battle suddenly broke out in North Korea.When the Japanese army continued to advance northward, it was surrounded by two Chinese divisions.

Lieutenant General Gui Tailang's Third Division was wiped out, causing an international uproar.It is called the Heavenly Soldier, and the "Chrysanthemum" agency in the Northeast clearly gave the news that the Qing Dynasty has not sent troops to North Korea so far, and is still gathering troops.However, in North Korea, Lieutenant General Gui Taro's Third Division was indeed attacked by a powerful army wearing Qing military uniforms, and almost the entire army was wiped out!

After being suddenly attacked, the entire division retreated all the way south.It was not until it withdrew from Pyongyang that it gained a foothold in Seoul. This also benefited from the solid fortifications of Lieutenant General Nozu Michikan's Fifth Division in Seoul.

After the Seventh Division of the Qing Dynasty was frustrated in its attack, it also retreated to Pyongyang and stood by for help.The Japanese army who fought back this time was caught off guard. They didn't even know when the Qing troops entered North Korea. Even the top leader of the domestic "Chrysanthemum" agency was demoted two levels in a row.

However, Zhao Bingjun sent a detailed report to Dong Liang's headquarters on the number of troops, the focus of defense, and the deployment of Dongxue Party's troops.This influx of intelligence played a key role in the Qing Dynasty's targeted deployment of troops.

Before Dong Liang entered North Korea, he had a thorough analysis of the enemy's situation in North Korea. It has to be said that it all benefited from Zhao Bingjun's various detailed enemy analysis and reports.

Since the reinforcements of the Nanyang Fleet have not yet arrived, Deng Shichang's Beiyang Fleet did not dare to penetrate too deep.Several times I saw fleets 1 nautical miles away, but I didn't dare to rush forward, fearing that the way back would be cut off, so I had to patrol the Yellow Sea area and stand by.

After North Korea suffered a humiliating defeat, five field infantry divisions were mobilized from the country, totaling 5 people.Its "Yoshino", "Takachiho", "Akitsuzhou", "Namiwa", "Matsushima", "Chiyoda", "Itsukushima", "Hashidate" and other cruisers with a speed exceeding 10 knots also come to the Yellow Sea to observe the Beiyang from time to time. The arming of the fleet.

In the Beiyang Fleet, only the three cruisers "Ride the Wind", "Break the Waves" and "Rise" can compare their speed with the cruisers.Although Deng Shichang's "Zhenyuan" and other ironclad ships have reached a speed of 16.5 after improvement, they still cannot compare with traditional cruisers, so they can only let the cruisers shuttle back and forth between the Yellow Sea and the sea, and dare not attack rashly.

In the absence of control over the sea and the Yellow Sea, it is still possible to continuously transport troops and supplies to North Korea.Therefore, before the reinforcements of the Nanyang Fleet arrived, the reason why Deng Shichang did not dare to attack rashly was also because he was afraid that the two fleets would be divided and destroyed by the fleet.Temporary tolerance is also for future elation.

Just like Feng Xianghua said, if you don't fight, you have to fight, or you can't get up from the fight.So Deng Shichang held down the urge to attack several times, and anxiously waited for the reinforcements of the Nanyang Fleet.

At the same time, Dong Liang's three divisions also crossed the Yalu River mightily.Converging with the two divisions that entered the court in the early stage, the two sides dispatched troops and generals, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out.A big battle is at hand.
