Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The collective action of the Ryukyu Navy this time, was naturally not something that could escape the eyes of the people, but when the people of the Prime Minister's Manor announced that they were leaving to patrol the South Pacific, they said that they were going to take a stroll in the Dahuangdi.

To be honest, the people of Ryukyu were not even sure where the Dahuangdi was, or where to go and what its purpose was. However, once everyone heard this name, they would become exceptionally happy.

It was a piece of meat that the Prime Minister had dug up viciously from the French colonial system after defeating the French Expeditionary Force. Some were worthless, but the symbolism was too obvious.

Since the Prime Minister wants to visit the Dahuangdi, then let's go. After all, this is a long and mighty matter, even if we citizens work hard to earn money, we can still be considered as supporting the Prime Minister.

The Navy's preparation for war was not that simple. From the moment the thirteen battleships were ordered to open the storage room, Arms and ammunition had to consider everything, not to mention the ropes, the spare canvas, and the medical supplies.

Not to mention food and fresh water, they even needed to bring along large amounts of tea leaves, soybeans, fruits, and other vitamin supplements.

In Xiao Letian's university, there was a course known as Logistics Security. In the eyes of the Prime Minister, morale couldn't just be talked about, shouting and even taking the lead was useful, but winning was still dependent on sufficient preparation.

Taking the battle with Li Hongzhang outside of Wu Qing City years ago as an example, with the heavy rain pouring down everywhere and the muddy ground everywhere, the new army did not only rely on their Mucus, Heavy Machine Gun and white phosphorous bullet to defeat the enemy.

There were even some university students who calculated through statistics that the military boot accounted for 13% of the victory.

Look, it's worth what it costs to increase the odds of winning by 13%. Huai Army only wore shoes made of cloth and was often stuck in the mud and couldn't come out. In the end, she would fight with his bare feet and if there was anything strange under his feet, she wouldn't be able to borrow strength and would be at a disadvantage in battle with the white blades.

The new army had already completely popularized the military boot s, their feet were protected by a thick layer of leather, no matter how they walked, they would be able to relax and boldly exert their strength, so the bayonet naturally held the advantage.

There was science everywhere on the battlefield. Victory had never been given by the gods. It was up to the people to use their brains.

The Navy was an absolute technical force. Perhaps they would fail an expedition with an orange and a handful of tea leaves. After all, it was normal for the sea to have septicemia.

The endless supply of supplies started to board the ship. Luo Huo and the marines led by Sima Yun had also gathered at the Head of State Port.

This was a tradition of the new army, every time before a war, they had to write a will. Whoever was unlucky enough to die in battle would be sent to his home with a pension, and those lucky enough to return would have to burn their own written will immediately. This had become a necessary preparation for a war with the new army.

The news that came from Japan was not good either, with Tokugawa Yoshinobu's plan to lure the enemy, the army had gradually lost all sense of reason, the Osaka City had already won three battles, now there were more than ten thousand troops hiding in the Osaka City, struggling to survive by relying on the supplies at sea.

Xiao Letian angrily threw all the information he got into the sea breeze: "Idiot, that Osaka City is known as the Stone Mountain Temple, it is the headquarters of all the monks, Zhi Tianxinchang had once lost to this strong city time and time again, and later Feng Chenxiuji converted this place into his own city, which will be easy to defend but hard to attack."

"How stupid!" Just a little bit of victory was enough to make him lose his mind. How stupid was this! "Failure is already unavoidable …"

Although Xiao Letian hoped to make the Four Seasons Fan suffer a little, he did not want his strength to be greatly damaged. After all, in the end, Japan had to form a situation where the various powers were restraining each other.

"Cai Mao! How are your preparations? Can we set off tomorrow? "

"Report, prime minister. No problem, we can set off tomorrow at any time …" Cai Mao ran over and bowed.

The night passed in silence. When the morning sun filled the Ryukyu, the two thousand Marines and the thirteen battleships were already prepared to wait for Xiao Letian's inspection.

Looking at the black mass of soldiers, Xiao Letian did not say anything. His own army didn't even need words to motivate them to develop, as long as he gave the order, they would all charge towards their deaths.

Guotou Village was originally a fishing village located in the northernmost section of Bulbus Glazed Island. During the battle to defend the French Expeditionary Force, a sob war had erupted here.

After the war ended, Guotou Village was in ruins, so Xiao Letian had no choice but to turn this place into a military port, and the original inhabitants were all properly settled in the city.

It was a bronze statue that was famous, and it was not generally open to the public. In the middle of the pier, a strong and sturdy Head water ghost came out of the waves made from bronze, and it was these brave warriors who went deep into the sea and installed the explosives at the bottom of the French battleship.

The moment the statue created the water ghost to rush out of the water, the enemy's bullets had already pierced through his chest. Their faces revealed pained expressions, but their eyes were still as resolute as ever, as if they had achieved victory right in front of them.

"Before the expedition, I hope that you all can take a look at the statue of our Head water ghost. The first French warship to be destroyed was done by these brave water ghost …"

"They are just a bunch of ordinary fishermen, but they can throw away their blood for the sake of victory. Without their efforts, how could we have won?"

"My brothers, my soldiers! "We are not belligerents, we are peace-loving warriors, but we are absolutely not afraid of war. Let us board the ship now and use our sacrifices and struggles to create a peaceful sky for our families!"

"Now, I order the entire army to board the ship... Let's go! "

With a loud bang, all the soldiers present stood at attention as they saluted. The sound of their leather boots striking against each other was like a muffled thunder. No one would shout out empty slogans. These veterans had long been accustomed to life and death.

Xiao Letian climbed onto the Roman's bridge, the thirteen battleships started to anchor, the soldiers on the deck all saluted the Head of the, it was the symbol of the Ryukyu Navy's spirit in battle.

The battleships left the harbor one by one. At this time, many people from the demilitarized zone outside the military port came to send them off, bowing to the sea one by one. There were even monks and Protestantism priests praying for the safety of the fleet.

The battleship broke through the waves, drawing an arc across the ocean towards the Pacific Ocean to the east. However, no one knew that after Xiao Letian's fleet disappeared from everyone's sight, the fleet had turned around and flew towards the Pacific Ocean to the east of Japanese Islands.

This was Xiao Letian's top secret operation, he didn't even notify the Shimadzu Family as the fleet headed straight for Osaka's Bay in the inner sea.

The Osaka City, the famous city that had almost used up all of Weaving Tian's blood, was because he had stopped the Sixth Heavenly Demon King's elite force and dragged down Zhi Tianxinchang's plan to unify Japan.

Feng Chenxiuji had already seen through the importance of this city. Not only could it keep the capital and Nai Liang from monitoring the Heavenly Emperor Public official, it could also rely on the sea to obtain an unending supply of energy. Back then, those monks had relied on the support of the Maori's house to persevere for so long.

Of course, Tokugawa Kang could also see through the importance of this city. In the two hundred years of the Mu Clan's rule, this place had always been the most important stronghold of the Tokugawa.

The prosperity of the Osaka City was not only reflected in his military uses, but also in the scale of the city itself. There were thousands of merchants gathered together, and every day, the sea was filled with goods from all over Japan.

But today, the war had caused the city to lose all its commercial functions. The citizens and merchants had all but escaped, and many areas under the city had been destroyed.

Samoan, Changzhou vassal, and Tuzo's allied forces had already gathered in the northern part of the city, and their successive victories had already made them forget themselves.

However, the commander, Xi Xianglongsheng, knew very well that the Osaka City was easy to defend and hard to attack, he had been trying his best to restrain the soldiers' fighting spirit. In the end, he even invited the Prince of Zi He Palace to be his messenger, attempting to negotiate with the enemies.

In the wilderness, there was a square green area. It was a small hill that oversaw the entire Osaka City and the sea, the temporary wild tea party was already prepared.

Xi Xianglongsheng and his subordinates were kneeling on the straw mat, while opposite them was the commander of the garrison, Big River's internal affairs, as well as his subordinates.

Both sides calmly sat there, enjoying the scenery of the Osaka City in the middle of the summer.

At this moment, suddenly, a servant's shout came from outside the curtain, "His Royal Highness, the Prince of Renhe Palace has arrived!" The people in the curtain quickly kneeled on the ground, not moving at all.

When the white silk shoes stepped on the soft tatami, the prince finally arrived. When he was seated at the head of the table, the attendants announced that he was going to rise.

During the era when the generals were in power, the Sky Emperor, the princes and the Public official did not have much authority. They were just a bunch of pigs raised by the generals.

Even though they were under the command of a group of high-ranking officers, they still had to show respect when facing the thin and weak Prince Ren.

"Alright, get up. Since it's a tea party, feel free to do whatever you want." Monk Sancun, I heard that your Way of Tea is quite wild, so I'll leave it to you to fry tea! "

"Ha …" An old monk expressionlessly said.
