Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 1045 The expedition fleet is coming ()

If they were to deal with Yinfa's expedition fleet and the 3.2-strong army, Hu Biao and others would not be so afraid.

After all, they have an airplane, such an epoch-making weapon at hand.

There are no anti-aircraft weapons in the Yinfa fleet.

That is to say, because of the difficulty of manufacturing, they cannot make torpedo planes in a short time, otherwise they can use torpedoes to send them all to the sea.

But even so, bombing with bombs can still achieve good results.

Then the Xuange camp fleet beat the drowned dog hard, swarmed up and opened fire, and the winning rate was at least 60-70%.

Not to mention the little devils of the island country, their combined fleet, which was almost used as pants, can be easily destroyed.

The key issue is that the timing is too coincidental.

When the expedition fleet slowly and leisurely along the way, constantly converging warships and troops from various colonies, and arrived in the Far East, it might just be the time when the Japanese and Daqing were fighting fiercely in Dadonggou.

The two naval battles almost happened at the same time, causing them to lose sight of one another for a while.

However, we cannot give up on both aspects.

If the troops are divided, there is a suspense. Will the strength of the two battlefields be insufficient, leading to failure?

So now Hu Biao and others are in a dilemma, just in this aspect.

After thinking for a while, Hu Biao expressed some of his thoughts: "

First of all, in terms of team personnel arrangements, the six people in charge of publicity, Huang Yizhi, Ali, Balong, Miyanmao, Banerzhuan, and Laoshe, remained unchanged.

They are still needed to report Daqing's ugly behavior in this war one by one.

AT and Xu Feng from Capital City, as well as Cang Guan and Yun Qing who are undercover among the boxers, these four people cannot be moved; they are the sharpest daggers we have placed in Daqing's inner circle.

At the critical moment, let them send Guangxu and the old witch directly on their way.

Fenghuahui and Hanjiang continued to lurk in Yuan Datou's place, and according to the plan, they penetrated into the Huai Army's troops entering the DPRK and carried out some planned arrangements.

All other personnel need to join the battle.

In terms of armed forces, all ground forces immediately entered a state of combat readiness. The first and second divisions of the First Army, and the first and second regiments of the first artillery brigade began to transport to the Liaodong area in batches and covertly.

The remaining commander of the third division and the third artillery regiment are guarding the home, and the Dutch people are destined to be dishonest when the time comes.

The cavalry troops are also ready to attack at any time.

You can join the army and never reveal your existence without my order.

Because these army troops will never take action before Daqing shows enough ugliness; it's okay to lose Chaodao first, we can just get it back when the time comes.

The Xuange Camp fleet should be divided into two batches.

Among them, the "Guifei", "Fenghuahui" and "Penki" form a squadron and will help the Beiyang Fleet when the time comes.

Also let Huang Yizhi find a way to replenish the Beiyang fleet with some ammunition.

With the above cards, we should be 70% to 80% sure of winning the naval battle at Dadonggou; such a high degree of certainty is enough to take a gamble.

The main force of the fleet, together with all the air forces, is waiting in Nanyang for the British and French expeditionary fleets to arrive.

At that time, in the Strait of Malacca, in front of other foreign devils and natives, we will defeat this powerful expedition fleet with dignity.

This is what I think, what do you think? "

After everyone heard this, they were silent for a few minutes. After that, Yang Dongli, the chief of staff, responded: "There is no problem in the general direction, but the details need to be carefully discussed~"

Afterwards, the group of people began to discuss many details one by one...

******

"The trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop. I'm afraid Xuange camp will be in disaster this time~"

After putting down the message in his hand, Li Zhongtang suddenly seemed to have aged several years, and his expression was indescribably lonely.

The leaders of the Huai Army in the hall looked at each other and tightly closed their mouths.

Ten minutes ago, the meeting hall in the Zhili Governor's Mansion was still bustling with people and seemed extremely lively.

Just as Shanxian and the other Japanese had predicted.

After Daqing received the request for help from Chaodao Emperor Li Xi, he decided to send troops to help quell the chaos without even a moment's hesitation.

And all relevant matters will be handed over to Li Zhongtang, the governor of Zhili, for full authority.

After receiving such a decree, Li Zhongtang himself did not feel any better, but all his military leaders became excited. They just went to Chaoshima to quell the chaos, but they had all kinds of new fast guns in their hands.

There is no need to worry at all, they will not be able to defeat the mud-legged people led by Asashima Higashi Gakutang; so this trip is purely for the sake of the Supreme Emperor.

In addition, the emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. Before this army can be launched, it is necessary to mobilize all kinds of money, but it is indispensable.

According to the Huai Army's usual rules, they can take away a fortune.

Also, going to a vassal state to quell the rebellion is a great achievement. After returning, it is certain that you will be promoted and make a fortune. If you are lucky, you can even become the governor of a province.

So for this great mission, since the battle between Daqing and Faren, the Huai army leaders, who had been silent for several years, immediately became excited.

The Beiyang military leaders who thought they were qualified to lead troops into the DPRK all started fighting for this good job.

Originally, during this process, Li Zhongtang was still smiling at this scene. He was not afraid that his men would be greedy for money, but he was afraid that they would not dare to fight.

But when I received a message from Song Yuren, the Daqing Minister in Yin, who sent it back to China and then forwarded it, the situation immediately changed.

The content in the telegram is naturally similar to what Shan Xian, Hu Biao and others saw.

What made Li Zhongtang react so strongly was only after he thought that Xuange Camp, the only hope for planting flowers, was about to perish.

Suddenly, I remembered a lot of things in my overwhelming mood.

For example: when he was 20 years old, he was still studying in Luzhou; under such circumstances, he came into contact with various banned books written by Xuan Geying for the first time.

For example, the Rise of Great Powers series, as well as "Primary School Mathematics", "Primary School Physics", "Primary School Chemistry" and so on.

At that time, I was so high-spirited, thinking that all the princes in the court were a bunch of useless snacks.

If he waits until he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely assist His Majesty the Emperor, and after working hard to govern, he will definitely make Daqing the king of heaven again.

But finally? Fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.

Although he was a very popular minister in Daqing, he was just a paper poster, trying his best to help Daqing, a shabby house that was crumbling, to paste layer after layer of paper.

I can barely guarantee that the house will not leak, but I can't control the situation if the house collapses.

Those ambitions of the past are getting further and further away.

But what can he do now? Can we also send the Beiyang Fleet to support Xuange Camp?

Nowadays, the future and livelihood of the entire Li family in Huaixi, and so many people in such a large Beiyang, are all dependent on one person.

Even if he is willing, his subordinates are not willing.

Finally, after some thought, Li Zhongtang sighed dejectedly and returned to the bleak reality.

After taking a look at the people below, he spoke slowly: "Gongting (Nie Shicheng's word), this time we enter the court with you as the main priority, bring 2000 people there.

Yang Shixiang and others will give you the money needed for departure.

The military situation on Chaodao is urgent, so we need to set off quickly~"

Because Nie Shicheng was the oldest among the Huai army leaders; after Li Zhongtang issued such an order, although everyone else was very dissatisfied, they could only suppress it forcefully.

Then, Li Zhongtang explained to Ding Ruchang, the admiral of the Beiyang Fleet:

"Xianda, the road to Daodao Mountain is high and far away, and transportation by car and horse on the road is extremely inconvenient, so this time we will send the army to the court; and in the future, you will also transport a large amount of grain and fodder."

After hearing this, everyone in the Beiyang Fleet happily accepted the order.

Only Deng Guandai, who was in the last position and seemed to be completely isolated, had an indescribable look of loneliness on his face.

Without him, because of the local riots in Sishui City, he was marginalized in this group.

If so, Deng Guandai, who originally didn't care about power and position, didn't care much either; the key is that Emperor Guangxu deceived him once.

It was originally promised that when he came back, he would allocate money to buy him a boat and cannon.

Result? Emperor Guangxu almost didn't even care about the Daqing New Army, which was so eager to eat, and he still relied on the cunning operations of the Beijing Management Team to survive.

Where is there a half-grown man who can guide him?

"If I had stayed at Xuange Camp that day, I would have been much better off, right?" Thinking of this, Director Deng became even more lonely...
