【551】Deng Shichang alive

That's why Long Hao chose to watch the naval battle with monotonous small cubes, because he didn't want to distort the history, and he didn't want to see Beiyang's failure on the holographic projection.

Yes, after six hours and 21 minutes of fierce fighting, the Beiyang Navy still failed on this historical fork!

Although the result was tragic, it lasted a little longer than in history after all. Correspondingly, the Beiyang side achieved more fruitful results.

Beiyang lost six warships, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan were seriously injured;

The Japanese lost three warships, and six, including the Yoshino, were damaged.

Because of Long Hao's 'tip report' and Long Hao's generous donation of shells, Beiyang more or less sank three Japanese warships, so that it would not be as shameful as it was in the original history.

In addition, according to what Weifeng told Long Hao, Deng Shichang's 'Zhiyuan' ran into the Yoshino after running out of ammunition as he wished, and almost sunk this super fast cruiser.

It can be regarded as indirect regret of countless people in future generations...

Long Hao stretched out his fingers, counted the missing squares on the console, and sighed: "Go, go up, it's our turn to save people!"

At this time, this epic naval battle was over, and both China and Japan withdrew towards their own ports.

Among them, the Japanese side took advantage of it, and withdrew especially quickly, wanting to preserve the results of the battle and consolidate the victory.

"Master, we have brought so many red dragon whiskers, why don't we leave all the little Japanese devil's boats behind!"

Breeze's eyes were red, and he knew that many of his compatriots had died up there, all of them were killed by Japanese naval guns.

For the young master who is capable but does not go to save him, Weifeng still has some complaints in his heart.

"Stay here? No, we are not here to avenge Beiyang. Their revenge must be left to them to avenge themselves! Breeze, remember, we are here to save people, to save those who have gone through this baptism and become clear-headed People. Only such people can let our Chinese nation clearly understand how to build a navy!"

Long Hao turned his head and said coldly.

In fact, he felt uncomfortable. He was clearly capable of annihilating the combined Japanese fleet, but he had to grit his teeth and hold back: Yes, I can save it, but if I saved it this time, can I save it every time in the future?

The Beiyang Navy did not go through this naval battle.They will not understand how far behind they are, just like the "Great Qing Dynasty" when the British used giant ships and cannons to bombard the closed country. Otherwise, the Chinese people are still arrogant, and they don't know how far behind they are in the world!

The Beiyang people who died above were fulfilling their destiny. Their death was to let the surviving people break their closed minds.Know what to do next!

Look, a little Japan that didn't even have a navy more than ten years ago.Now Beiyang's main force can be beaten to a half, such an unforgettable pain, if Beiyang can't be woken up, then Long Hao has nothing to say.

If it weren't for the fact that he was reluctant to part with the good seedlings of China's first-generation navy, Long Hao would not have bothered to deliver information, replenish ammunition, and lie on the bottom of the sea for nearly twelve hours for them.Don't you just want to keep a little fire for the Chinese navy?

With Long Hao's help, Beiyang looks better than the original defeat in history, but it is a pity that if the concept remains unchanged and the ideology of the upper class does not change, Beiyang will eventually lose again and again.Until there is no way to retreat.

Long Hao hopes that through this battle, the survivors will realize this!

The defeat of Beiyang was lost to the state system and the Qing Dynasty!

Long Hao is not indifferent to the professional skills of the Beiyang people. When it comes to ocean domination, he has a set of alchemy threads. What he wants to save is the indomitable spirit in the bones of this generation of Haiyang people!

Didn't some people say that after Beiyang, China no longer has the soul of the navy!

What Long Hao is going to save is this 'military soul' that is about to be scattered!

Long Hao is not professional in saving lives, but he naturally has a professional team to do such things.

The seven red dragon beards and the [-] sailors of the Alchemy Kingdom who had been waiting for a long time were what Long Hao relied on to save people.

Of course, if Long Hao is not stingy with the energy of the gold source, such things as saving lives can also be done by the sapphire dragon boat.

After the naval battle, the surface of the Yellow Sea was full of wreckage and corpses, flames were burning on the surface of the water, and thick smoke was billowing in the sky... In short, it is right to use the word purgatory to describe it.

Both the Beiyang and Japanese combined fleets withdrew very quickly. They wanted to save their heavily damaged warships, but those that had already sunk... could only be left to fend for themselves.

Long Hao's 'rescue team' aimed at these sunken warships and sailors still struggling in the water.

The seven red dragon whiskers spread out in seven directions, and the seven red bright spots are particularly eye-catching on this battlefield...

That night, Dingyuan Zhenyuan returned to Lushun Port. Ding Ruchang was standing on the bow of the ship. The fire has been roasted, and a piece is broken, with a faint burnt smell.

Lost, lost to Japanese pirates!

Ding Ruchang looked at the battered warships in front of him, as well as the soldiers with low morale, the golden stars flashed wildly, and he had the urge to draw his sword and kill himself.

"I deserve death!"

Ding Ruchang glanced at the nearest subordinate, thinking that the other party should have time to save him, so he made a gesture to jump off the Dingyuan ship to show his ambition to death.

"My lord, you can't! Don't pursue such short-sightedness!"

"Why not? This is Beiyang's unprecedented defeat. I won't jump. I'm sorry to all those who died!"

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. It is extremely difficult for your lord to lead us back to Lushun!"

"That's right, the warships of the Japanese pirates are too cunning, and their speed is far faster than ours. We can sink three of their warships, and we can turn over to Master Zhongtang!"

The subordinates were really loyal and helpful, and after holding Ding Ruchang back, they persuaded him one after another.

"It's a pity for Zhengqing, and it's a pity for Zhiyuan..."

Ding Ruchang wiped away tears.

"Deng Guandai is a good job. Zhiyuan and Yoshino died together, and they have fulfilled their duties. Don't be sad, my lord!"

Under the persuasion of everyone, Ding Ruchang finally calmed down and stepped off the ship. While watching the rescue of the damaged warship and wounded sailors, Ding Ruchang was thinking about how to explain to Li Hongzhang...

Just as Ding Ruchang was choosing his words to report the results of the "Yellow Sea Battle" to Li Hongzhang, the Japanese showed their finer side than Beiyang.

No matter how beastly this island nation is.But at least, the control of some details is enough to make the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty feel ashamed!

As night fell, several Japanese warships returned to the location of the naval battle.

They didn't come to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water, because even if they wanted to save them, they couldn't make it in time.

They came to catch the wreckage of some Beiyang warships.Going back to publicize the great victory, and also want to replay the naval battle during the day to prepare for another decisive battle in the future.

Yes, Beiyang did not lose completely in the battle of the Yellow Sea this time, which also made the Japanese dare not slack off. After all, behind Beiyang is such a powerful...well, at least an empire with such a large territory and population.

but.These Japanese who came back to 'count' the battlefield were destined to be disappointed and astonished.

Because, this former battlefield was swept away, the entire sea was calm and vast, and not only the corpses could not be seen, even the wreckage of the battleship was gone.

This made the Japanese think they had found the wrong place, but when they confirmed it again and again.After deciding that this area is the battlefield of the daytime naval battle, they couldn't help patting their foreheads.Shout out to hell!

Due to Long Hao's intervention and the recent East China Sea naval battle, the British forces were expelled from Asia.Therefore, in today's "Yellow Sea Battle", there are no observation ships of the great powers, so.With contemporary 'backward' communications, it would take at least a few days for the news of this sea battle to spread.

Therefore, the doubts of the Japanese were not answered, and they howled a few times in their hearts: "Amaterasu has appeared".He returned very helplessly.

The Japanese screamed in their hearts, but at almost the same moment, Deng Shichang gradually regained consciousness.

Although he can't fully open his eyes, he clearly knows that he has walked around the gate of hell.

There is not too noisy background sound next to it, and the location cannot be discerned. In addition, there are busy footsteps walking around from time to time, and there are bursts of coolness on my body.Of course, as Deng Shichang's nervous system recovered, the tingling sensation from those wounds was sent to his brain nerves irresistibly, making this Beiyang belt who had the courage to die with the enemy feel like he was in hell.

Deng Shichang was very strange. He was obviously going to hit the Yoshino. Logically speaking, both the Zhiyuan and the Yoshino should have sunk at the bottom of the sea... Then, who rescued him?

Deng Shichang is working hard to recover, because he still can't speak, how he wishes to open his eyes, and take a look, who is the owner of the footsteps constantly appearing around him?

Because, Deng Shichang has one thing in mind that he can be sure that the person who rescued him is definitely not the Beiyang Navy!

Time passed like years, and Deng Shichang felt as if hundreds of centuries had passed before he was finally lifted up and sent out of this place like a ship's cabin.

When the sun shone on his eyelids again, tears flowed from Deng Shichang's eyes: Was he stimulated?Or the joy of the afterlife?Or is it the sentimentality of Beiyang's defeat?Except for Deng Shichang himself, we have no way of knowing.

When he got out of the cabin, the voices of people around him increased, making it hard to distinguish. Deng Shichang tried his best to open his eyes. Suddenly, the pungent sunlight came in. He endured the pain, and blurred images came into his pupils.

It seems to be a military camp, and the surrounding figures seem to be wearing military uniforms, and the long braids that are tied or placed behind the head also reassure Deng Shichang.

No matter what, they are all compatriots!That's great!

Knowing that he would not be a prisoner, the supervisor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quickly, put a white cloth on Mr. Deng, so he can't see the light!"

Deng Shichang, who was squinting his eyes, suddenly heard this sentence, and he was so straight that he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, and he was furious: Can he speak? What do you mean I can't see the light?I was defeated and ruined Zhiyuan, but I have a clear conscience...

Before Deng Shichang finished thinking, his eyes were covered with cloth strips, and then his body trembled, as if he was lifted onto something, and then his whole body was jolted, so that he almost vomited acid water.

It seemed that he hadn't eaten for more than two days. Deng Shichang passed out after this thought flashed through his mind.

When Deng Shichang regained consciousness again, the cloth strips on his face had been removed, and his body was as fresh as new. He opened his eyes and found himself lying in a room surrounded by a faint fragrance, with his head bowed.The body is covered with a quilt made of the best brocade in the south of the Yangtze River. Looking further away, the octagonal table, square stool, hollow carved windows... everything shows that he lived in a wealthy family.

If you are not an official, you are Jia!

"Yes, is there anyone?"

Deng Shichang opened his mouth and was delighted to find that he could speak.

but.The hoarse voice still surprised him: look at this posture, I am afraid it is not the voice of a person who has lost his water for several days in the desert!

Will I be dumb?

"My lord is awake, my lord is awake, hurry up and notify my lord!"

As soon as Deng Shichang finished shouting, Yingyingyanyan and illogical voices sounded outside.

And then, a few groups of beautiful green shadows rushed in, they were a few maids with water spirits, some of them served water, and some took medicine.There are also those who came to help Deng Shichang to prevent him from moving around...

Deng Shichang has never enjoyed this kind of thoughtful service in his own family.

"This is where?"

"This is the Governor's Mansion!"

Before Deng Shichang had time to ask which Governor-General it was, loud laughter came from the door: "Master Deng, I am relieved when you wake up!"

Recognizing the voice, Deng Shichang was startled, and quickly got up and said, "So, it's Governor Liu, you... saved the humble official?"

The person who came was the governor of Liangjiang.Oh no, now it is Liu Kunyi, governor of Liangjiang and Huguang.Although Deng Shichang is famous in later generations, the current status gap between him and Liu Kunyi is still immeasurable!

"Your Majesty Deng, you don't need to be too polite. You are injured, so the red tape will be avoided!"

Liu Kun chuckled and waved his hand.Those maids helped Deng Shichang quickly, preventing him from falling out of bed.

"Master Liu, I am Beiyang..."

After Deng Shichang sat down on a hard pillow, he couldn't help feeling sad when he thought of the naval battle.And when seeing Liu Kunyi, it was like a wronged child returning home and seeing an adult, with moist tiger eyes, and the tears could not be held back!

Although Liu Kunyi's Nanyang and Beiyang have never been able to deal with each other, but at this time of national crisis, what is a mere grudge?

"Hey, I know everything!"

Liu Kun found a stool and sat down, and waited for Deng Shichang to drink the medicinal soup before he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Japan's wolf ambitions were exposed so blatantly, and their naval strength was beyond our expectations! Sir Deng, have you experienced it before?" In that naval battle, do you think it was wrong to lose the battle between Beiyang and Japan?"

"...Although I am not reconciled, the Japanese are really strong!"

Deng Shichang wiped away the hero's tears, sighed, and talked with Liu Kun for a while.

It was only after the conversation that I realized that four days had passed since the battle of the Yellow Sea, and he was in a mansion of Liu Kunyi in Shanghai.

"Understood, the Japanese won this sea victory without luck! Unexpectedly, Beiyang has been in the army for more than ten years, and the only foreign war is..."

Once Liu Kun figured it out, he picked up the scented tea, took a sip, and sighed a lot.

"If there is a new ship..."

Deng Shichang's face was flushed, he was so ashamed that his old opponent said that, but he couldn't refute the facts.

Moreover, even if you say that Beiyang has no money to replace a new ship, Beiyang has taken up all the military expenditure of the Qing Dynasty after all, and it would make a man feel ashamed to die like this!

"Hehe, let's not talk about this, I hope Li Zhongtang can withstand the Japanese follow-up attack in the north!"

Liu Kunyi smiled again, and changed the topic: "Master Deng, when you can get out of bed and walk around, you might as well go to the side and take a look. You are not the only one who was rescued this time. I counted and found that a total of 340 people were rescued." Rescued, there should be many of your subordinates!"

"what?!"

Deng Shichang was so startled that he almost threw off the quilt and jumped down.

Are there still so many people alive?

Deng Shichang was overwhelmed with joy and surprise, his head was dizzy for a while, and he was about to be overwhelmed by this great news!

……

"Three Gouzi, Haiyaozi, Xiao Shun'er... are you all alive?!"

Deng Shichang looked at the familiar faces lying on the bed, his body trembled with excitement, and the little maids next to him struggled to hold him steady.

Deng Shichang was impatient, and when he heard that Paoze was still alive, he insisted on seeing it. Liu Kun smiled and let him go.

No, in one of the wing rooms, those subordinates who Deng Shichang thought had died for the country were all lying on the bed.

Although the conditions are simple, the hygienic conditions are definitely not bad, and it can be seen that the lives of the people lying here are no longer in danger.

This really made Deng Shichang's chest swell with joy, and he wished he could find a bodhisattva to burn incense on the spot to fulfill his wish!

"Who saved you... us?"

"My lord, we don't know either!"

"Hey, I thought I was going to die! By the way, did you see the money floating in the water? I remember that one of his arms was blown off before the ship sank, but when I saw him yesterday, his arm grew out , even he thought he was dreaming!"

"Yes, yes, there is also Lu Beibei, everyone knows that he has been cleansed, but this time when he woke up, he found that the thing had actually sprouted. These days, he has been talking about it for a long time. The name of Tian XingXiu Immortal is amazing!"

……

Everyone chattered, and Deng Shichang was amazed when he heard it.

Although he chatted for a long time, he still hadn't figured out the identity of the "savior", but all kinds of miraculous facts proved... Could it be that the other party is an omnipotent god?

Otherwise, why are people like me who should be reincarnated now still alive?

How can those who have lost their limbs be able to rejuvenate with a dead tree?

All these made Deng Shichang puzzled!

In order to solve the doubts in his heart, Deng Shichang decided to go to Liu Kunyi again.

Only the governor, who is now in the south of the Yangtze River, can answer his doubts.

"Hehe, Zhengqing, I thought you would hold back and not ask!"

Judging from the tone of voice, Liu Kun did not intend to hide from this mysterious 'benefactor'. (To be continued..)
