It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

The Eight Tigers of Beiyang were surrounded.

Densely packed Japanese warships surrounded them.

"Fire! Fire!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Each gunboat was equipped with 14 guns, so eight ships had 112 guns.

Captain Ding led the 7 Tigers in a column and rushed towards Nanyun Chuuji's flagship, the "Yoshino".

The Japanese navy, relying on its strong military strength, decisively surrounded the enemy from both wings.

However, this just happened to suit Ba Hu's wishes.

They can attack from both sides, giving priority to bombarding large Japanese warships.

Of the 500 ships that Nanyun Chuuji had gathered,

There are more than 120 large warships, which are the core force of the fleet.

Therefore, Captain Ding ordered to first eliminate a group of large Japanese warships.

Each gunboat locked onto an enemy ship and concentrated its bombardment.

Therefore, the Japanese Navy's front 16 main battleships,
In an instant, thick smoke billowed and casualties were heavy.

Upon seeing this, Nan Yunzhong Er immediately sent warships to intercept the Beiyang vanguard gunboat.

However, Captain Ding made a feint and turned to the south.

Watching the Eight Tigers leave, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese navy raised their arms and cheered.

"Haha! The Beiyang Fleet escaped..."

"Oh! We won!"

"Yamato wins!"

Nanyun Chuuji immediately ordered a pursuit.

However, the Beiyang Eight Tigers made a circle and rushed towards the core of the Japanese fleet again.

It was as if the scene was replayed, and there were 16 main Japanese warships,
They were hit by artillery fire one after another and caught fire.

Within an hour and a half, the Japanese fleet lost 32 main battleships.
Although the Beiyang Vanguard Fleet was attacked many times,

But it can still maintain considerable mobility and attack power.

Nan Yunzhong felt dizzy from anger and trembled with heartache.

Seeing the Beiyang Eight Tigers circling again,

He had to order the large warships to retreat and let the small and medium-sized warships move forward.

Captain Ding immediately discovered the Japanese fleet's change of formation.
Immediately adjust the troops and attack the enemy's medium-sized warships instead.

When they came back for the third time, more than a dozen Japanese medium-sized warships exploded with a round of salvos.

Moreover, the Beiyang Eight Tigers deliberately slowed down their pace.

The distant enemy ships were bombarded with artillery, but none of them made a sound.

The two heavy machine guns on the front and rear decks fired at the close range.
"Da da da..." Just like frying beans.

For small boats coming up to our side, have the sailors use grenades to fire down at them.

There were a lot of "bang bang bang" noises, and on the small boat below, there were ghosts howling.

An hour later, the Beiyang Vanguard Fleet was surrounded by
There were warships on fire everywhere and human heads floating on the sea.

The sea seemed to have turned dark red as well.

According to rough statistics, at least a hundred enemy ships of various sizes were destroyed or damaged.

Witnessing this scene, Nanyun Zhongji broke out in a cold sweat.

In less than three hours, the fleet lost 30% of its troops... This battle cannot be fought.

So, with the sound of the horn, the Japanese fleet quickly retreated eastward.

The Beiyang sailors beat drums and gongs and burst into huge cheers.

We finally defeated the main fleet of Japan and washed away the shame of the defeat in Tianjin!

The seven tigers raised their flags one after another, demanding that "the remaining courage should be used to pursue the desperate enemy".
The Japanese fleet was completely wiped out and Edo Castle was attacked directly.

However, Captain Ding was relatively calm and announced the order to clean up the battlefield and search and rescue the Japanese sailors who fell into the water.

The water temperature is too low now. If we don’t save them, these people will die.

Considering that the prisoners could be bargaining chips, Captain Ding ordered the rescue.

Sixteen lifeboats, all launched,
When the boat is full, it will be sent back, and then it will continue to be fished.

Until Zhang Hongli arrived at the East Sea of ​​​​Shiguo and fished out the Beiyang Eight Tigers,

More than a thousand Japanese sailors were all detained in the bottom cabin, and the wounded were treated by the Chinese Volunteer Medical Team.

It was learned that the main fleet of Japan was defeated head-on, 150 enemy warships were sunk or damaged, and more than a thousand people were captured.

Zhang Hongli's face was flushed with joy.

Very good!
With such an impressive record, he could give an account to the imperial court.

He smiled and said to Ba Hu: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Your Excellency the General, this humble position is not hard at all!"

Zhang Hongli nodded slightly and suddenly asked:

"The Japanese pirate fleet is still quite powerful. We must defeat it completely!"

The seven tigers were overjoyed and asked to fight one after another.

Captain Ding smiled and said:
"Sir, the enemy ships will surely flee back to Edo Castle.
It's only half a day away from here. If you lead the army yourself, it will be a sure success!"

Zhang Hongli immediately became happy.

The subtext of the subordinates is to give the greatest credit to themselves.

Xiao Ding not only does his job well, but is also good at speaking and has a bright future!
He thought for a while and said:

"The front army and the central army joined forces and advanced steadily.

Wait for the rear army to catch up, and tomorrow morning, destroy the Japanese fleet and capture Edo Castle!"

This battle almost used up all the ammunition of the Eight Tigers of the Vanguard.
We must replenish our supplies, otherwise we won't be able to fight at all.
"As ordered!"

The generals saluted with their hands crossed, received the order, and returned to their respective warships.

In the twilight,

Zhang Hongli looked ahead, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart.

If Lu Yuan had not rearmed himself, he would have been doomed.

Who would have thought that only eight gunboats could sweep away 500 warships in Japan?

At this moment, a large shadow emerged in my mind.

That's a huge steam-powered ironclad warship...

Even if the New Beiyang Fleet is added together, it is probably still no match.

The Chinese nation’s military power is really too strong!

On the other hand, Shen Ling was riddled with holes from top to bottom.

The rich and powerful are corrupt and tyrannical.

The people have been squeezed to the limit.
It only takes one spark to start a prairie fire.

There is a basic basis for judging that Zhang Hongli can become the leader of the three major navies.

A thought came to my mind.

Do you want to follow the King of China?
Human beings, most of them are mediocre,

In other words, the people known as the "mob" all have a "admiration for the strong" mentality.

For example, in the Shenling Empire, countless people envied Emperor Linggui's power.

The ants at the bottom praise the rich and powerful.
Taunting the rebels...

Little do they know that it is the powerful who oppress them.

The Chinese nation,

But thinking of saving them.

For example, Lingxiong, the general of Liaodong,

Only for the commander-in-chief, Admiral Tong,
There are also Beiyang General Zhang and others,
have long considered or have already joined the "rebels",
In exchange for the future.

Most of the lower class people,
But he sneered and made sarcastic remarks.

Even if the property of the rich and powerful is confiscated,
It was also divided by Emperor Linggui and corrupt officials.

The people at the bottom of society don’t get a single penny.

For example, Shen Elbow, the richest businessman in Shenling who was persecuted and fled,

His assets in Suzhou and even across the country amounted to hundreds of millions, but they were all confiscated by the government.

Let me ask you, is there any ordinary citizen who has ever received a single needle or thread?

It is just like the old saying: There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

Zhang Hongli is not a stupid person.
Nothing will be revealed until the plan is complete.

No matter what, we must defeat the Japanese navy.
Become a national hero in the eyes of the people of Shenling,
Then he took his family, crossed the ocean, and joined the truly world's most powerful country.

I don't know, by that time,
How will the lower-class people, who are overwhelmed by the gods and have an overflowing sense of justice, feel?
Of course, Zhang Hongli is not the only smart person in the world.

For example, Ichiro Umekawa,
He was now standing firmly on the Incheon dock.

Yukiko and Taro Umekawa were standing outside the ticket gate, waving desperately at Ichiro Umekawa.

"Dad, Dad, we are here!"

Ichiro Umekawa grinned and waved to his wife and children.

He said a few more words to the embassy staff, who nodded and told him to do as he pleased.

Ichiro Umekawa bowed deeply to the other party respectfully.

The other party helped him up, smiled and wished him and his family a happy life in China.

Umekawa Ichiro ran towards the ticket gate with a bulging bag on his back.

After passing the inspection, he rushed out at once.

He put down his bag and picked up Umekawa Taro with one arm.

"Wife, son! We finally escaped!" Yukiko asked with tears in her eyes:

"Ichiro, why is your hand injured?"

Umekawa Ichiro laughed and said:
"I hurt myself, otherwise I wouldn't be able to retire..."

Umekawa Taro asked, "Dad! Are you still in pain?"

"Yeah, it hurt, but it stopped hurting when I saw Taro!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's real, more real than pearls!"

Yukiko asked worriedly:

"Ichiro, how are we going to live in the future?"

She had only been in Incheon for a few days and did not speak Korean or Shenling.
I could only stay in the inn and was almost completely in the dark about the situation here.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Umekawa Ichiro said confidently:

"Don't worry, just wait and see, watch me!"

After that, he took his wife and children to the Immigration Department.

He handed over his ID and Min Lianghao's "letter of recommendation" and explained the situation.

The immigration officer called the interpreter and questioned each person one by one according to the regulations.

Umekawa Ichiro, Yukiko and Umekawa Taro all answered truthfully.

After confirming that the situation met the requirements, the immigration officer took the family to the oath hall.

Let the three people face the Chinese flag and swear allegiance to the People's Republic of China.

The three people followed the oath word by word, and after completing it, the immigration officer gave them new identification documents.

Finally, extend your right hand.

Yukiko didn't understand, but Umekawa Ichiro was an "old China expert" and immediately shook the other person with his right hand.

"Welcome to China!

From now on, you are part of China and enjoy all the rights that belong to citizens. "

Umekawa Ichiro thanked loudly: "Thank you China, thank you king!"

The immigration officer smiled and asked: "You can go to the Civil Affairs Office.

After registering as a resident, you will receive housing, land and living expenses.
In addition, if you encounter any difficulties, you can always come to me! "

Ichiro Umekawa understood what was going on and said goodbye to the immigration officer with a smile.

Then, I went to the Civil Affairs Service Hall.

The staff will be registered one by one according to the procedures of the Immigration Department.

Then he gave them a key, a land deed, and ten taels of silver.

Umekawa Ichiro understood that the key represented a temporary residence.

With an unsigned land deed, one can obtain one hundred acres of land in any state.

Ten taels of silver is a one-time living allowance given by the state to new immigrants.

It was getting late, so Ichiro Umekawa took his wife and children with him.

Hurrying to the new immigrant community on the outskirts of the city.

Yukiko, who had just arrived, was shocked.

Oh my God, why are there so many tall buildings here?

In front of them was a brand new concrete residential area built by Japanese prisoners of war.

The first phase of the immigrant community has a total of 100 residential buildings.
Each building has four units, each unit has two households per elevator, and a total of five floors.

Of course, most residential buildings have three bedrooms and two living rooms.
There are also two-bedroom and one-living room apartments, as well as one-bedroom and one-living room apartments, to meet the different immigration needs as much as possible.

All in all, this community can accommodate 4,000 immigrant households.

The second phase is under construction and is said to have two hundred residential buildings.

These houses are simply decorated and furnished.
With water and heating available, immigrants can basically move in with just their luggage.

At this time, the entrance of the community was crowded with small vendors, hawking all kinds of goods.

Ichiro Umekawa, his wife and children walked through the bustling crowd and entered the community.

Building 45, Unit 401, Room .

I took the key and opened the door. A wave of heat hit me in the face, as if I could feel the warmth of spring.

Entering the room, it is a typical two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, and all the furniture is new.

Yukiko asked curiously, "Ichiro, the room is warm?"

Pointing to the heat sink on the wall, Umekawa Ichiro said:
"Well, it's the central heating, which gives off heat...

Taro, don't touch it, it's hot!"

He opened his backpack, carried the bedding into the bedroom and spread it on the wooden bed.

Yukiko looked at the tall wooden bed and asked curiously:
"The beds in China are so high, aren't you afraid of falling off?"

Umekawa Ichiro smiled and said:
"If you're not used to it, I'll saw off the bed legs..."

Yukiko smiled and said:
"Don't do it. Will it be weird if others see it?"

Umekawa Taro suddenly shouted: "Dad! I want to pee..."

Ichiro Umekawa quickly pulled his son to the bathroom.

What shocked Yukiko and Umekawa Taro was that
Ichiro Umekawa uncovered a white porcelain "strange stool"
It was actually hollow inside, with water accumulating at the bottom... It looked like a small water tank.

"Son, pee inside..."

Ah!
Such a clean utensil, used for peeing?

Fortunately, the child listened to his parents and happily released the water.

"Zizzizi!"

Soon the urine was finished, and the clean water turned yellow.

Ichiro Umekawa reached out and pressed against the wall.

"Crash!"

The water in the bucket surged, then was instantly pumped away, and the bucket became filled with clear water again.

His wife and children were stunned.

Umekawa Ichiro explained proudly:
"This is called a 'flush toilet'. It can be used for both large and small urination. That..."

He pointed to the shower head in the corner and said:
"That's called a Fire Spirit Water Heater. Just press the switch and hot water will flow out. It can be used for bathing!"

Then he took them to the kitchen.

"This is tap water, turn it on...

In this way, there is water available.

This is the 'fire spirit stove'. Turn the knob.

Look, the flame is coming out.

It’s very convenient to boil water, cook rice, and make dishes…”

Wow!
There were so many magical things that Yukiko was overwhelmed and dizzy.

This, this is too luxurious, right?
Umekawa Ichiro smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you out for some delicious food!"

A family of three just went out and the family next door just came back.

Judging from his dark skin and thin stature, he is most likely an immigrant from the South Pacific islands.

Sure enough, the two sides did not speak the same language, but they smiled and nodded to each other.

Going downstairs, I saw many adults and children playing, strolling, and chatting.

The vast majority of residents here,

They all moved here from all over the world in the past month.

So, there is no xenophobia and bullying incidents...

We are all foreigners, there is no point in queuing!

Moreover, those with bad behavior will be deported.
Therefore, the community atmosphere is very harmonious.

The Meichuan family arrived at the gate of the community and saw customers in front of dozens of vendors’ stalls.

Ichiro Umekawa, who was familiar with the place, came to a stall.

"Boss! Give me three bowls of big meat noodles!"

"Okay! Sir, please take a seat! Three bowls of meat noodles will be ready soon!"

The three of them sat down, and a few minutes later, three large bowls of noodles were served on the table.

In each bowl of noodles, there is a thick piece of fat meat.

The portion is at least two taels, and it’s greasy and appetizing just by looking at it.

"Son, wife, it won't taste good if it gets cold, eat it quickly!"

Umekawa Taro and Yukiko clasped their hands together and said in unison:

"I'm starting!"

Yukiko took a sip of the noodle soup first, which was warm.

Take another bite of the noodles, hmm, very chewy.

Later, I took a bite of the fatty meat...Wow, it’s fatty but not greasy and melts in your mouth!

It looks like it took at least an hour to stew!
On the other hand, Taro Umekawa ate voraciously, his mouth full of oil.

"Dad! The noodles are so delicious and the meat smells so good!"

Seeing his wife and children enjoying their meal, Ichiro Umekawa was delighted.

The family ate and drank their fill, and the bill came to 15 cents.

Yukiko was shocked.

Oh my god, this is too expensive!
Seeing that her husband was still buying toys for their son, she couldn't help but worry.

China is good, but my family has no money. How will we live in the future? (End of this chapter)
