Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

At the entrance to the open English Channel, the open sea was filled with ships. The ships of the United Fleet were the eye of the storm, and the surrounding merchant ships were the howling hurricanes.

Right in front of the Zhiyuan Warship, the British Fleet began to change formation. The two sides of the battleship gradually separated to form a "V" shape with the Zhiyuan Warship as the base, and all the merchant ships at the opening were dodging. They were making way for a proud battleship.

Directly ahead, a beautiful three-masted Sail battleship was slowly approaching, its speed wasn't fast, but it exuded an indescribable sense of pride.

Everywhere the battleship went, the sea was filled with cheers, especially the British merchant ships who were boiling. All the sailors were jumping and shouting on the deck, and countless of them were hot tears rolling down their cheeks.

"Victory! Our Victory! "

"Long live General Na Erxun! Long live the Royal Navy! "

"Trafalgar!" Our Empire's glory! "Trafalgar …"

The civilians were shouting, and the soldiers were standing like javelins. All eyes were on the battleship, and their hands never left it.

"Fire the cannon!" Welcome to the Victory … " Following Captain's order, the sea surface rumbled with gunfire. White smoke permeated the air and the suffocating smell of smoke began to spread.

The atmosphere became even more heated as the crowd's fervent cries seemed to fill the sky.

None of this affected the battleship in the slightest. He was like a proud king strolling among the people who loved him, yet he exuded an aura of unparalleled nobility.

At that moment, Xiang Ying was the most excited one on the Zhiyuan Warship, after all, he was a admiral. He was extremely familiar with the warship in front of him, almost like it was the symbol of the Royal Navy.

Xiang Ying said with trembling lips, "Victory... Trafalgar... Viscount Na Erxun … The creator of the British Navy's army spirit … "

"Master, look! This is the Victory! The Victory that all the naval officer in the world could not forget! General Na Erxun died on this battleship, this is his flagship! "

"Level one sail battleship, founded in 1759, and won a great victory over the Fassi United Fleet in the sea battle of Trafalgar in 1805 … That battle had saved Britain, consolidated the position of being undefeatable in the British Navy, and made Na Erxun a god in that battle! "

"From then on, this battleship was protected by the Royal Navy. He has already become a totem of the British Navy, and that is where the military soul is condensed …" "Führer, the British welcomed you with Victory s. This is an unprecedented honor. They have defined this visit as the highest standard in the history of England!"

Maybe only the navy could understand the navy. Xiang Ying's excitement had infected all the officers and soldiers present, but the brothers of the army were a little indifferent, because they didn't really understand that piece of history.

Not knowing that Zai Chun and his servants were the ones leading the way, Da Sixi secretly curled his lips and said softly: "What the heck is that thing? "Welcome is also a welcome. Your Majesty, what kind of gold would you put on your face …"

Before he finished speaking, Zai Chun took the opportunity when others were not looking, and fiercely kicked them, almost breaking the back of Da Sixi's foot. "Shut up, if you continue talking, you'll be fed to the fish in the sea."

Immediately after, Zai Chun ignored the eunuchs who were grimacing in pain, stepped forward to his master's side and asked softly, "Is this warship that important? "It's just a victory in a sea battle. Don't tell me that Britain's victory is not enough?"

"It's just a victory?" Xiao Letian glanced at him and said with furrowed brows, "Looks like you haven't even finished the homework I left for you. This is no ordinary victory! This is a victory that determines the fate of the British nation... "

Xiao Letian was right, Trafalgar's victory could be described as reversing national destiny to Britain.

In 1799, Napoleon launched a military coup to gain complete control of the France's power. Following that, he used his outstanding military skills to win numerous victories in the European battlefield: the Austria, Turkey, Prussia, the Russia, the Sardinia Kingdom, Naples … Other than Britain, all the other countries of the anti-French alliance were defeated by Napoleon one by one.

Napoleon had even sent out his own Expeditionary forces, gotten rid of the one that was chasing him and went on an expedition to Egypt.

This could be said to be the most glorious period in the history of France, when all Europe was terrified of the little man and the mighty France.

It was worth mentioning that the title of the strongest in the France's army was created at that time.

At that time, all the militants and politicians in Europe, including Britain, had a common understanding: to deal with the French Army, they had to gang up on him, and no one could challenge him alone.

Fortunately, Britain is an island nation, and luckily, Britain has the existence of Royal Navy!

But how could the ambitious Napoleon let go of his mortal enemy, Britain? He built a huge military camp on the west coast of France, where tens of thousands of labourers worked around the clock to make battleships, transport ships, barges and to cross the straits.

The British were still very confident about their navy. They thought the French efforts were just a joke. The naval warfare was an absolute high-tech war, requiring a lot of qualified sailors. It was not something that could be won with numbers.

However, as the spies obtained more information, the British finally started to panic. They found out that Napoleon was playing the game that the Chinese people often said about, attacking from the east and attacking the west.

The French navy had not been prepared in the first place to defeat Britain, but only for a single purpose, which was to penetrate deep into the ocean and divert the main forces of the British Navy.

Then, taking advantage of the foggy and unique weather in London, he secretly used a barge to send the invincible French Army to the British Isles.

At that time, Napoleon had clamored, "Give me three days of mist, and I will completely wipe out City of London!"

It was not a joke, nor was it an exaggeration. The British knew that once the French army landed on the British Isles, the British army would not be able to hold on to it.

"Zai Chun, this is the European background from before the war at Trafalgar. "To tell the truth, Britain was really on the verge of falling at that time. The crisis was not a normal one!"

Zai Chun tilted his head as he watched the proud battleship coming closer and closer. Listening to his master's introduction, he finally started to understand why the British Army was so fanatical about it.

"No wonder! This is a battleship to save lives! "

"Nonsense …" Xiang Ying coldly snorted and said, "According to the records at that time, in order to counter Napoleon's threat, Britain temporarily recruited 590 thousand soldiers. Many workers and farmers were sent to the barracks after just half a day of practicing shooting …"

"The navy was out full force, and all reserve battleships sealed in military ports were activated. At that time, the Royal Navy had prepared 240 battleships, and not a single one was left behind …"
