Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 27
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when the two men assembled at the pier, and the two men leading the expedition were Fan Tianhao and Mao Weiming.They were all old subordinates of Dong Liang's father, and among Dong Liang's ten bidders, only these two bidders were his father's old subordinates.To some extent, it means to reuse them. If there is any good equipment and training, they will take care of the two bidders first.In order to show the emperor the powerful fighting power of his troops, he went to North Korea this time.He used up all his wealth.

The sea breeze was blowing unscrupulously in the night, and four behemoths were docked on the sea.Many officers and soldiers have never seen it, and they are talking about it.

"Hey, tell me. Is that thing a ship? Is it still holding a cannon, or is it a fort built on the sea??"

"Idiot, no wonder the emperor wants to teach you how to read. It's a gunboat. The imperial court bought it from the British. It's so fast that I, a fellow villager, work on it."

"Shall we go to North Korea on this ship?"

"Go ahead, dream, this is the escort. The emperor who escorted us to North Korea, the emperor spent so much money on us, he doesn't want us to have any trouble at sea, and he went to feed the fish before there was a war."

"Hey, are we the only ones worth guarding by these four big monsters? Our worth is different now."

"Who says no? I work here as a servant, and the salary I get can support my family of eleven."

Troop transport ships also arrived one after another, following Dong Liang's order.Each standard and each battalion boarded the ship separately, in an orderly manner, without any confusion.At first glance, it is a unit with good training and military qualities.

With a long cry, twenty troop carriers and four gunboats set sail.

Dong Liang stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Qingdao in the night.I was very moved in my heart, thinking about what the emperor said back then.Given the opportunity to avenge his father on the battlefield, now that there is civil strife in North Korea, the emperor is the first to think of himself.Among so many generals, Wu Ping's troops, who had previously stationed troops in North Korea, were even abandoned.I gave myself such a chance to make contributions.How can he not be moved by the gunboat escort of the Nanyang Navy who spent thousands of miles away?
"General, the two commanders have arrived." A soldier said.

"Understood." Dong Liang turned his head and walked into the cabin slowly.

"I pay my respects to the general." The two officers knelt on one knee and gave a standard military salute.

"Get up, sit down!" Dong Liang sat down in the middle of the game.

"General, didn't the imperial court only buy two ironclad ships. 'Yang Wei' and 'Chaoyong'! Why are there two more?" Mao Weiming asked.

"The other two ships were originally sold by the UK to Turkey, but they were sold to us for some unknown reason. What were they originally called Geerlai and Orion? Well, they are now renamed 'Long Victory' and 'Invincible'. Said that our emperor is omnipotent, and even foreign devils will submit to him when he sees it." Dong Liang said.

"Yes, the emperor is talented and intelligent. God bless me, I finally realized the painstaking efforts of the emperor to let us practice running." Fan Tianhao said.

"Don't talk nonsense to me. It's tight. The emperor attaches great importance to the civil strife in North Korea this time. North Korea is a vassal state of our Qing Dynasty. Nowadays, the civil strife is caused by people alone. If the civil strife in North Korea succeeds, it will definitely become It is equivalent to robbing my Daqing son, if someone robs your son, what should you do?" Dong Liang said fiercely.

"Damn it, I cut his eggs. If my son can't give birth by himself, what's the point of stealing someone else's?" Fan Tianhao shouted.

"Now the two battalions of General Wu Ping's troops stationed in North Korea have lost contact with the imperial court. The situation ahead is unknown. After the army arrives at Incheon Port, the general wants to send a battalion of troops as the vanguard of the army. To pave the way for the army to advance, you guys Who wants to go?" Dong Liang said.

"Leave it to me, my brothers are going crazy. Guaranteed to pave the way for the army." Fan Tianhao shouted again.

While yelling, he gave Mao Weimin winks.It means give it to me this time, and let you be the pioneer next time.Seeing this, Mao Weimin could only laugh it off.

"Okay, tell the brothers. If you encounter a large army, don't love to fight. Retreat immediately. Their task is to find out the situation. It's not a decisive battle with the enemy." Dong Liang knew the temper of these people and fought when he saw a battle.Forgot all orders, the guy in hand is good, no matter how many people are on the other side.Dare to fight against each other.So quickly reminded.

"Yes, General."

Finally, the troop carrier landed at Incheon Port.Officers and soldiers assembled on the beach one after another, waiting for instructions. The four ships 'Yang Wei', 'Chaoyong', 'Changsheng' and 'Unbeaten' broke down one nautical mile from the port.Watch out in all four directions.

"Damn, where is Liu San, a bastard? Call him over quickly." Fan Tianhao yelled at his soldiers.

"twitter"

After a while, Liu San ran over. "Biaotong, are you looking for me?"

"Tell you, stinky boy. You are lucky. I boasted in front of the general. I just got a fat job from Lao Mao, which is cheap for you. Your battalion will be the vanguard of the army, clearing the way for the army. Give me the way Go to Seoul." Fan Tianhao said excitedly.

"Really? Thank you, General. Just look at it. If I meet someone, I will clean up everything." Liu San said with bright eyes.

Fan Tianhao suddenly thought of Dong Liang's advice, so he said: "Now the situation ahead is unknown. According to the court's intelligence, [-] troops have been sent here. If you encounter a large number of troops, don't love to fight. If you find out the situation, you will withdraw. Encounter a small group of enemies. You have to give Lao Tzu a face."

"Understood, shall we start now?" Liu San said impatiently.

"Wait, go gather your troops first, and General Dong will come and see you off in person," Fan Tianhao said.

After a while, a 500-man army lined up neatly at the front of the beach.Accompanied by several soldiers and Fan Tianhao, Dong Liang walked towards them slowly.

"The [-]th Battalion of the [-]th Biao of Dong Liang's Division has been assembled, please give instructions from the general." Liu San shouted.

"Brothers, raise soldiers for thousands of days, and use them for a while. The emperor uses us now. It is our blessing and our duty. Now people occupy North Korea and cause them civil strife. Once a new government is established, it will no longer be my big brother." The Qing Dynasty is now a country. The emperor just said during the military parade in the suburbs of Beijing that our Qing Dynasty cannot defeat others, so foreigners always want to occupy our land. Now foreigners are coming to snatch our son again, and we have to use our hands to snatch it Answer foreigners, our Qing Dynasty is not easy to bully." Dong Liang roared loudly.

"Tell the general, who is the strongest?" Liu San shouted beside him.

"I am the strongest." A burst of shouting overwhelmed the sound of the waves that had just lapped over.In front of this army, the waves seem so small.

"Okay, but now the situation ahead is unclear. In order to facilitate the army to enter Seoul smoothly. Your battalion will be the pioneer of the army. Now I issue the following military orders. [-]. Those who retreat before the battle, beheaded! Those who rape mob women, beheaded! Fourth, those who rob money, beheaded! Fifth, those who delay the military situation, beheaded! Do you understand?" Dong Liang said five beheadings in a row without even frowning.He knew not to tighten the reins now.Once this army of tigers and wolves were to run away, it would be difficult to know how much trouble it would cause.

"Take orders" Liu San knelt on one knee and said.

It was already dusk when Liu San set off with a battalion of troops.Night had just fallen, which happened to cover their whereabouts, but it also brought them inconvenience.It is impossible to quickly find out the truth and find out the situation.In case the enemy troops are not found, waiting for the army to enter the ambush will be a disaster.

So he also moved forward slowly, carefully, and little by little.

On the other side, people have already received news that the Qing Dynasty has increased its troops to the court.But it is not known exactly how many people came. At this time, there were only more than 4000 troops stationed in Seoul.It was the Nakata Regiment of the Third Brigade of the First Far East Army of the Japanese Army, and the commander of the regiment was Koji Nakata.

After receiving the news that the Qing Dynasty had sent more troops to the DPRK, Koji Nakata immediately dispatched the most elite Takeda Brigade to search westward.If you encounter Qing troops, put pressure on them to let them know that Seoul cannot be approached.Or delay their time to enter Seoul, and give a fatal blow if necessary.

The Takeda Brigade, with a total of more than 800 people, went west after receiving the order to conduct a blanket search.Seeing that an encounter is about to be staged.

After two days of continuous searching, Takeda has left Seoul more than 300 kilometers away.It is hard to find the Qing soldiers, because it is not clear where the Qing soldiers landed from.Takeda didn't dare to penetrate too deep, it would be troublesome if he was cut off from his way back.So they found the village to garrison in place, and dispatched the second squadron to continue searching forward.

The leader of the second squadron is Yoshikawa Hengtai, who is cautious in doing things and lacks courage.When leading a team to search in the dark, he always used the front seven to hold torches.The large force slowly advanced about 50 meters behind it.That night, he continued his search as usual.

"Battalion Commander, look, there are torches ahead. It seems that there are only a few people!" A soldier reported to Liu San.

"Damn, I thought there was a big fish. Shrimp, it's not enough for just a few people to squeeze between their teeth." Liu San said depressingly.

"Battalion Commander, could it be the mouse pulling rice noodles, with the big head behind?" a soldier reminded.

Immediately, Liu San's eyes lit up, and his eyes rolled.I already have an idea in my mind.

"Go, pass my order. The first company and the second company went up from the left and right, and copied behind them to see the situation. The rest of the people dispersed with me here, ready to fight." Liu San ordered.

"twitter."

When the Japanese No. 100 Squadron searched to a position only [-] meters away from Liu San, it stopped suddenly.It's not that I found anything, but I just finished today's search task and want to go back.

Liu San could see clearly that there were dots of people behind Qiba's vanguard, but it was hard to tell how many people there were at a distance of 150 meters.Seeing that the fat in his mouth is about to run away, can we not make him anxious, but the two companies have just detoured out, and have not sent back any information, and the encirclement has not been set up. The risk of launching an attack now is quite high.I didn't even figure out how many people the other party had, and there were only more than 100 people around me. If the other party came to countercharge, I might just confess here.

Sometimes the fighter plane changes rapidly, and if you miss it, it will never be there.Liu San weighed the pros and cons, and looked as if he didn't know that we were here, and it wasn't an ordinary patrol.Like looking for something.If it is a patrol force, it is really difficult to fight. There are troops patrolling here, either where the army is stationed or the headquarters is located.But if it is a search force, there should not be many people.Damn it, I'm going all out.There is no reason not to eat the fat that reaches the mouth.

"Go, tell the first company, the second company, and Lao Tzu to open fire first. Tell them to fasten the opening at the back, and don't let anyone go. In addition, send out a guard post to the southeast, and report any abnormalities immediately." Liu San urgently deployed road.

"twitter."

Just as the man was about to go back, suddenly there were gunshots from behind.Yoshikawa Hengtai was the first to react, "Lie down, all down"

In the darkness, he saw flames erupting from the woods in front of him from time to time, and when they erupted, they illuminated an area about one meter around.It's the Qing army!Since the Qing army had a big tree shelter in the woods, and they were on the open road with no shelter around them, watching the soldiers around them fall down one by one, they also panicked.If you shoot at each other in this situation, it is tantamount to courting death.

He collected himself and immediately organized the remaining 200 people around him to charge towards the woods.He knew that if he continued to shoot at each other, he would not be able to take advantage of it.Judging from the gunfire from the opposite side, the number of people should not be many.It is better to organize a charge and melee combat.

With a distance of more than 100 meters, a charge only takes more than 20 seconds.When Liu San saw it, he was really afraid of something.The first time I led the army to go out, I encountered a hard stubble.At this moment, two companies of men and horses who made a detour suddenly flashed out from both sides of the road to attack the left and right sides, and beat the rushing people into a sieve.When Liu San saw it, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered the whole army to attack.To catch a few live questioning.
