The situation of Zhenyuan ship is slightly better. Lin Tai once commanded Zhenyuan ship with little damage. The armored cruiser is indeed worthy of its name. Although the firepower is not very fierce due to the problem of firing rate, self-protection is not a problem
It’s too sad to have the Pingyuan ship left. In the face of the siege of the ship for several days, it was still possible to evade the counterattack at the beginning. Unfortunately, Li He, the duct tape manager of Pingyuan ship, was hit by the fragments of Japanese artillery shells. His right chest was hard to support. He was able to lie down and command the battle. Pingyuan ship gradually lost its support. Six heavy artillery pieces were destroyed, and it was no longer possible to exert its combat power. Nai could retreat to the rear.
The war lasted until noon, and nearly a day later, the fleet beiyang fleet refused to give in to the death. Finally, the Japanese flagship Matsushima was too deep to support, so it had to lead the fleet to evacuate the Beiyang Navy and began to rectify the warships and return to rest.
The flagship Matsushima of this World War I fleet completely lost its combat power and suffered serious damage. The guerrilla flagship Yoshino ship directly sank into the sea; Yandao Ship was sunk by Zhiyuan Ship and Takachiho was besieged and destroyed by Jingyuan Ship, Jingyuan Ship and Guangjia Ship. Ding Ruchang, a Dingyuan ship of the Qing army, was seriously injured in the Liu Buchan War, and only then could it be fully played out. In one fell swoop, two small cruisers, the Akashi Xijingwan, sank five Japanese fleets, and four suffered heavy losses.
Although the situation of Beiyang Navy is a little better, Zhiyuan Ship hit the sea by suicide, and Pingyuan Ship was also blown up. Chaoyong Ship was blown up, Guangjia Ship was blown up, Dingyuan Ship was seriously damaged, and three warships were hit hard. One third of Beiyang Navy’s combat power disappeared.
However, the first world war completely inspired the increasingly * * Beiyang navy blood gas, but these people were personally drawn out by Li Hongzhang, and the elite of Huai Army was abandoned in recent years.
At this time, a part of the Qing army that fell into the water was rescued. A Qing army knelt before Ding Ruchang and cried, "My Lord! My Lord! Lord Deng was martyred! Lord Deng was martyred! "
Ding Ruchang felt a pain in his heart. Deng Shichang was his confidant. Liu Buchan, Lin Yongsheng, Lin Taizeng and Deng Shichang were four masters of the navy. All of them could be independent. Liu Buchan was too ambitious. Lin Taizeng was indecisive. Lin Yongsheng was hot-tempered. Only Deng Shichang people were generous and strict in running the army. They dared to do things. In the future, they must entrust their confidants with great things. Now they give up their lives and go to the west to go to the country for difficulties.
Ding Ruchang choked back his grief and shouted, "After all, what’s going on? Why don’t you save yourself when Deng’s adult falls into the water?"
The name of the Qing army answered, "Adult Deng’s adult saw that Dingyuan Ship caught fire and you were seriously injured. If he didn’t cover Dingyuan Ship, he ordered Zhiyuan to go to the front to cover Dingyuan Ship. Finally, Dingyuan Ship was damaged too much. Deng’s adult made the two ships collide with Yandao and immediately sank. We threw a lifebuoy for adults, clung to it, abandoned it, and even the sun dog around us sank to the bottom of the sea …"
Ding Ruchang black at the moment almost fell to the deck side Liu Buchan quickly will hold Ding Ruchang sighed "is called! Zhengqing! " Say and cry, and everyone around you is not silent.
Liu Buchan advised, "Your Excellency needs to sail back to Liu Gongdao quickly this plan. Now several capital ships are seriously damaged and need to be grasped. put in order also needs to report to the military intelligence of nave to discuss further countermeasures."
Ding Ruchang firmly mind hate way "Japanese navy this revenge not to waste her husband! You need to remember that such great hatred will come to Zhengqing in the future, and the colleagues of Ju Ren will hate it! "
All together in anger "is an adult! Beiyang vowed to avenge this! "
Ding Ruchang shouted, "Order the army to adjust the channel to speed up and return immediately. You should be responsible for counting the casualties caused by the war. You must carefully investigate, sort out and put on record. We will like to report back to the imperial court!"
Chapter 57 Vow this revenge!
Late at night, Emperor Guangxu paced alone in the Qing Palace. Recently, the Sino-Japanese war situation has been affecting his nerves, and his heart is full of anxiety and anxiety. Although he is interested in reviving the Manchu Tianwei Nai court, he tried his best to control Cixi’s hand-planning, and it is difficult to display the main battle of this Sino-Japanese struggle. However, the old lady said that she did not agree with anything, but she finally agreed that she had missed the best preparation period and rushed to fight for the war. It was difficult to implement the provisions, weapons and troops. Fortunately, Li Hongzhang had the support of one person, but even
Guangxu was anxious about the eunuch on duty and whispered, "Long live Master Weng, the master of the South Room, waiting to see you. It’s urgent."
Guangxu frowned and sighed, "Invite him in."
Soon Weng Tonghe rushed in and shouted, "The emperor is overjoyed!"
Guangxu smell speech spirit a flap nasty asked "what? Have you heard from Master Weng’s former enemy? "
Weng Tonghe may have run in a hurry with a sigh of excitement. "The emperor rejoiced that the old minister had just received a report from the Nie Shicheng of North Korea that the Japanese army in Kaicheng, Nie Shicheng, launched a fierce battle and won the first world war. Thousands of people were captured and captured, but ōshima Yoshimasa, the head of the Japanese bandit brigade, successfully repelled the Japanese attack. The Japanese army has now returned to Seoul! Victory this is an unprecedented victory! “”
Guangxu smell speech exultation nasty way "fold? Show it to me! "
Weng Tonghe took it out of his sleeve and handed it to him. "Nie Shicheng reported that the army retreated to Kaicheng after the war in Yashan. According to Zhang Yi, the scoring troops were stationed in Maoershan, a strategic place. As a result, the Japanese army stormed Maoershan Highland after that. Zhang Yi led his troops to defend 600 to 5,000 for three days, killing the Japanese army for two consecutive days. The Japanese army sent a capable family to lead a new army to raid the Japanese command post. It was a pity that Nie Shicheng took advantage of the Japanese army’s chaos and attacked the Japanese army on both sides. The number of troops is too small, only less than 3,000 people are difficult to annihilate the Japanese aggressors. However, this war has also caused the main force of the Japanese army to suffer a short time. I am afraid that the Japanese army will not attack Kaesong again. On the day when Nie Shicheng won the victory, Zuo Baogui, Ma Yukun and others came to the current garrison in Kaesong. "
Guangxu also didn’t answer. Read the memorial carefully. Nie Shicheng gave a detailed account of the current Sino-Japanese Korean war. Now our army has won a great victory, and I have escorted ōshima Yoshimasa and other prisoners of war back to the DPRK to show the majesty of the kingdom of heaven and defeat the Japanese. There are young talents, Zhang Yizhe, who manages Bao Liangcai and Tian Daqing. Every time he makes a coup, he will make great achievements and look forward to another day, such as Zhenggong. Xiang Gong’s near-re-embodiment of the Qing Dynasty’s pillars has also been defeated today, but the number of troops in the DPRK has exceeded 30,000, and after two months of repeated surge, the number of troops will exceed 50,000, which means that there are only more than 10,000 troops in the DPRK. Although I have to fight to the death, YoYo is afraid of negative positions, but I earnestly hope that the court will urgently dispatch reinforcements to the DPRK, otherwise, once the city is broken, the Japanese army will March straight into the Qing Dynasty, and there will be an overwhelming danger …
Guangxu gradually calmed down after his exultation and came to Nie Shicheng to win a big victory. Although it is gratifying to congratulate him, it should also be rewarded. However, according to Nie Shicheng, the Korean war situation is not optimistic. The Japanese garrison has exceeded 30,000 and the number of troops has been increasing. I am afraid that Nie Shicheng will not have a chance of winning even if it has ingenuity.
"Emperor" in the excitement, Weng Tonghe looked at Emperor Guangxu’s face and began to look excited. Slowly, he was a little gloomy and asked lightly.
Guangxu asked, "Master Weng, have you finished reading this paper?"
"Well," "The emperor’s veteran just glanced at the paper and hurried over to congratulate the emperor. He hasn’t come to read it in detail yet …"
Emperor Guangxu sighed, "Master Weng, it’s a mixed story. Nie Shicheng said in the memorial that although our army has won a great victory, the Japanese troops stationed in the DPRK have exceeded 30,000, and they will continue to increase their troops for two months, which will reach 50,000. If the situation continues like this, at the beginning of last year, it will be possible for the Japanese army to break through 100,000 troops in Nie Shicheng, Zuo Baogui and other departments, and all the troops will only be more than 16,000. If they can withstand such an army, they will send reinforcements to me, Qing elite soldiers? Money and food are raised? "
Weng Tonghe’s face changed and he asked, "Is the disaster in Emperor Korea really so serious? How could Japan suddenly have so many troops? "
Guangxu fidgety way "how do I know? Master Weng, at the beginning, you tried your best to fight the main battle, but now the end of the battle is open and you can’t stop. If we deal with it, do you have a plan in mind? Galeries Lafayette, the Empress Dowager of China, must be asking if you are right? "
"This ….." Weng Tonghe’s forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat. He didn’t expect that a tiny country in Japan should have such a strong force and well-equipped equipment. Now the imperial armament is abandoned and the older generation of war generals are gradually dying. The financial situation is hard to cope with? Where does he know how to deal with it? Let him write a poem. What does he know about military affairs? Cried tongue-tied
Guangxu airway "Master Weng, you have an idea."
Weng Tonghe Nai replied, "The emperor’s old minister is an official. How dare I talk about the military affairs and the affairs of the country?" Nowadays, Li Hongzhang is the only one who dabbles in foreign affairs in the Qing Dynasty, but he is also difficult to be distracted by the remote control navy in Beiyang as far away as Tianjin, such as Liu Kunyi and Zhang Dong, who are far away from the south of the Yangtze River.
"Sixth Master"? Prince Gong Yi? Prince Gong Yi? Quite talented is a rare talent in the royal family of Qing Dynasty. However, after Tongzhi, Cixi suspected that Prince Gong was in great power and was repeatedly demoted, but all the people around him were dismissed. Now he is just a prince who is idle.
Guangxu was quite stuffy, and he also knew that Wang Shu was overqualified, but it caused the queen mother to be suspicious and refused to be enlightened. Guangxu’s agitated palace strolled a few steps and said flatly, "I immediately ordered someone to ride a fast horse to Tianjin to announce Li Hongzhang’s entry into the DPRK and ask for it!"
Weng Tonghe hurried to Tianjin on a fast horse.
In times of emergency, Qing had to rely on this bandit-like Anhui Lizhongtang!
Chapter 50 Victory, Victory!
"pa!" The Japanese Prime Minister’s official residence Ito Bo was furious and threw it to the ground and roared, "Ga! A bunch of losers are losers! The empire tried its best to scrimp and save food to make the land and sea army have today’s scale. Look at what you are fighting! The ninth brigade of the Open Guards was beaten out of the water by 3,000 Qing troops, and even the head of the brigade was captured alive. What does your army do for food? Schrotten! And your navy! At ordinary times, I always shout loudly that Asia is close to the enemy, so I can sneak up on others. Beiyang Navy can still achieve this virtue. More than one third of its combat power has been lost, and more than one capital ship has been damaged! Are you worthy of the emperor? "
ōyama Iwao, Chuan Cao Liu, Saigou Jyuudou Shanbing Wei and other important officials have to say that they never expected that the Great Qing Dynasty would be so difficult to deal with. Judging from the early intelligence data, the Great Qing Dynasty has indeed rotted to the bone. After these years, the court’s suppression of the two pillar military forces of Xiang Army and Huai Army has been greatly weakened. At the same time, in recent years, the most important pillar of Huai Army, which is eager for ease, has also gone downhill. In the past few years, the navy has never been allocated enough military equipment by Beiyang Navy in the Qing court, and it still stayed a few years ago. The navy lacked training and its combat power slipped sharply. All this seems that the Qing dynasty has long been weak and weak.
Who thinks that since the Sino-Japanese war, apart from starting a few small-scale battles and making some achievements, the Japanese army has never won again, and there has been constant bad news. This time, the ninth brigade was completely defeated in Kaicheng World War I, and the remnants of the army returned to Seoul and were beaten into an organizational system; Although there was no defeat in Dadonggou World War I, it also suffered heavy losses. Several major capital ships were either destroyed or seriously damaged, and there was no way to fight in the short term.
受死骆驼果真比马大啊
甫一拿到伊藤博气急攻心一口鲜血喷了出来这些可是他辛辛苦苦积攒来家底损失一点都心疼来他就不太赞成如此急切进攻时机未到耳一旦战败帝国承受不起这样严重损失
面海陆军大臣外相西园寺公望等人也是郁闷不行这仗打得太寒碜了
大山岩小心翼翼说道“首相大人此次陆军失利一则有着偶然因素里面一则是因朝鲜清军多了一股神秘军队战力十分可怕侦查、袭扰、狙击所不能多番破坏我们战计划帝国情报机竟然对此没有丝毫察觉我对此表示极大不满据前敌回报这部队首脑乃是聂士成麾头号智囊极具才能对未来帝国侵略支那带来很大威胁我建议帝国派出高手除掉此人解决我们未来心腹大患
伊藤博恨道“情报机都是干什么吃叫他们加紧行动我要这支部队确切信息部队首领确切信息派出忍者赴朝鲜寻机刺杀此人”
“哈伊！”川操六赶忙低头大清国情报搜工一直是由川操六负责出了如此大纰漏他心里也很不是滋味得赶忙答应
“亲王大人”伊藤博向着西园寺公望说道“如今我们英国第二批贷款怎么样了我们需要英国更多财力支持如今日清大战刚刚开始钱地方多着呢让驻英公使加紧运必要尽快敲定第二笔借款支持帝国对清战！”
Saionji Kinmochi is a rare talent in the Japanese royal family. His talents are outstanding and he enjoys great prestige in Japanese political circles.
Saionji Kinmochi replied, "Prime Minister, now the British side has let go and is willing to lend us a batch of loans of about 10 million pounds. At the same time, a month ago, I ordered the ambassador to Britain to negotiate with the British navy to buy more cruisers, but the exact news has not been obtained yet."
Ito Hiroshi frowned. "Your Excellency, if you want to grasp this matter, you should firmly grasp the British Rasberg and give him some benefits. It is necessary to fight against me as soon as possible. Once the British political circles have doubts, it will be difficult to get a loan again. Cruiser things should also be grasped!"
Saionji Kinmochi replied, "Hay!"
Itobo went on to say, "Now that the navy has suffered serious losses and can’t fight in the short term, can the army have any plans for the Korean war?"
ōyama Iwao replied, "Prime Minister, the war is unfavorable now, and we must increase the delivery of reinforcements to North Korea. At present, there are more than 10,000 North Korean troops in the Qing Dynasty. We should defeat Nie Shicheng’s front line and push it to Pyongyang before the reinforcements arrive in the Qing Dynasty, and then the Chinese troops will break through the Yalu River defense line of the Qing army and burn the war to the outside. In this way, the Qing court will surely panic, and then we will completely take the initiative and decide whether to fight or not."
Ito Hiroshi nodded and said, "Jun ōyama Iwao, what you said makes sense. Although the Oshima Brigade lost, our army still has a great advantage in North Korea. It ordered Yamagata Aritomo to go to North Korea to lead the Korean war. The first army will enter the third army of North Korea in half a month, and the second army will enter North Korea in two months and then launch a general attack on Nie Shicheng!"
Saigou Jyuudou hesitated. "Prime Minister, the navy has suffered a lot now. Although the transportation capacity of our army is not greatly affected, the number of escort ships is insufficient. Once the Qing navy launches a sea attack, our losses will be great …"
"honk! Xixiangjun, you coward! The imperial navy suffered serious losses, and the Qing navy suffered no small losses. I’m afraid they are distressed to dismiss Ding Ruchang. What are you afraid of? Are you still an emperor? Bastard! " ōyama Iwao and Saigou Jyuudou have not dealt with it. In recent years, most of the imperial armies have been given to the navy, which has made the army’s equipment update very slow. The failure of the army’s equipment is also the reason. The War Department has always had great opinions on this. Seeing Saigou Jyuudou’s hesitation, ōyama Iwao flew into a rage and roared
Saigou Jyuudou argued, "ōyama Iwao, this is a war. We can’t make a bloody decision at the moment. We must decide according to the battlefield situation. The naval losses are serious and we can’t withstand such a blow!"
Ito Bo’s face sank and shouted, "Don’t argue any more. ōyama Iwao Jun said it makes sense. The Qing court regards money as life. The navy will not dare to send the navy rashly. We must speed up the dispatch of reinforcements to North Korea to catch up with the Qing court’s large number of reinforcements before entering the DPRK. Give the Qing army a beating to Xixiang Jun to execute the order!"
"Hay!" Saigou Jyuudou saw Ito Bo angry and had to promise.
Chapter 59 Ito Bowen in disgust
The next day, the court held a big meeting with the Qing court, and the pot was quarreled.
As soon as the DPRK began to discuss, Sun Yuwen, the Ministry of War, presented the Korean War Report.
