Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 135 Spy
Although Guan Xuqing was very concerned about the queen's pregnancy, he was also very excited.After all, it was the first time to experience the feeling of being a father no matter in later generations or in this life, but he still suppressed this feeling.What is before him now is the battle of the Qing Dynasty's national destiny, and the war has started three years earlier than in history, so there is not much historical information to refer to.Everything has to be done by himself, as he said when he traveled just now, this is a game without save files, when the game fails, it is the day of his own death.So he had to put more energy into understanding and controlling the war.

In the Lushun military port, the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty rattled in the sea breeze.

Deng Shichang and Yan Fu looked at the telegram sent from the capital, their expressions were dignified, and their brows sometimes stretched and sometimes tightened.

"Miao, it's really wonderful. Only the emperor is so wise and mighty to come up with such a plan. If you and I rush into the sea recklessly, even if we win, the enemy will die a thousand times, and I will be injured by eight hundred. Now this plan is very good, God bless me. Haha!!" Deng Shichang laughed out loud.

"Yes, brother Deng, let's discuss the specific naval formation. The emperor is waiting for news of our victory!" Yan Fu said equally excitedly.

After some discussion, it was decided that the six battleships "Daqing 4000", "Daqing 5700", "Zhenyuan", "Dingyuan", "Weiyuan" and "Jiyuan" were responsible for storming the Nagasaki Fort. Called the first formation.The second formation is in charge of ambush to lure the fleet, consisting of "Long Victory", "Undefeated", "Victory", "Triumph", "Ride the Wind", "Break the Waves", "Rise", "Jingyuan", "Laiyuan" ", "Zhiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Pingyuan", "Guangjia", "Guangji", "Guangbing", and "Guangding", of which four are ironclad ships of more than 19 tons and three are 2000 tons And cruisers that can reach a speed of 1000 knots, five [-]-ton armored gunboats, and four [-]-ton torpedo ships.The second formation mainly used guerrilla tactics to hold down the fleet.When the army landed successfully, the first formation and the second formation joined together to launch a total attack on the fleet.The third formation is composed of five domestication ships, "Yangfan", "Flying Eagle", "Sea Lion", "Nanji" and "Nanxiang".

After some discussions, the flagships and commander-in-chief of each formation were announced accordingly. The first formation had "Zhenyuan" as the flagship, and Deng Shichang was the commander-in-chief.The second formation has "Changsheng" as the flagship, and the commander-in-chief is Yan Fu, and the third formation has "Flying Eagle" as the flagship, and the commander-in-chief is "Ding Ruchang"

Due to the need to wait for the army to go north, it happened to take this precious time to practice in formation on the Yellow Sea.

After receiving the order from the Ministry of War, Lu Yiwei immediately ordered the Second Division, No.15 Division and No.19 Division to go north to Dalian, preparing to cross the river and storm Nagasaki.Due to the rapid economic development along the southeast coast in recent years, the common people are quite supportive of various policies of the imperial court.Knowing that ships were to be conscripted to travel far away to fight, everyone enthusiastically donated their ships.

"Whoever doesn't give it to the bastard, I also donated the boat I bought last year."

"Didn't the imperial court give you money?"

"Hey, who cares about those silver dollars? When I bought this boat, I spent 10000 silver dollars, and now the imperial court only subsidizes me with 1000 silver dollars. Now that the Qing Dynasty has become stronger, look at the wars that have been fought in other countries. In the past, it was foreigners who bullied us to the Qing Dynasty! That business can’t be done, but now it’s different, I’d rather donate more money, as long as the business can be done normally, when will the money not be earned back?”

"That's right, my third uncle also asked me where to donate. His ship is getting too big. I heard that it can hold 100 tons of cargo."

There was an upsurge of donating ships along the southeast coast, and the common people knew that the Qing Dynasty was going to send troops to attack the mainland.

Of course, these can't escape the secret agents of the "Chrysanthemum" agency installed in the Qing Dynasty. The common people only know how to fight, but how do they know how?

The secret service agencies in China mainly used the identities of businessmen, students, and doctors as cover. A man named Shi Chuan grew up in the Qing Dynasty and opened a pawn shop and money exchange bank.

On this day, when a Qing soldier came to exchange pounds, the guy couldn't decide, because the pound was controlled in the store.Ishikawa thought to himself that he could break into the military through him, so he was granted special permission in exchange.After several exchanges, Ishikawa quickly became acquainted with him, and knew that his name was Wang Kaijia, and he was a company commander of the 38th Division of the Qing Army stationed in Shanghai.This kid is eloquent, and he can talk endlessly about the situation in the army.When Wang Kaijia came again, Ishikawa took him to a brothel.When they were about to break up after having fun, Wang Kaijia approached him out of gratitude and said, "Brother Shi Chuan, I want to take you to meet someone, are you interested?"

Shi Chuan hurriedly asked, "Who?"

Wang Kaijia whispered in Shi Chuan's ear mysteriously: "His uncle is Li Hongzhang, a well-known figure in our Qing Dynasty."

Under Wang Kaijia's introduction, Ishikawa met Li Hongzhang's nephew Liu Fen, who was then head of the 38th Division's security regiment, on the same day.After some conversation and observation, Shi Chuan quickly saw that Liu Fen in front of him was also an ordinary person with lust and greed.Next, Shi Chuan carefully planned. He first had to satisfy Liu Fen's greed, so he brought a precious antique, which made Liu Fen overjoyed.

"Brother Liu Fen, I heard that your military region is sending more troops to the back? We are going to fight in North Korea, and it will be difficult for us to meet in the future!" Shi Chuan asked tentatively.

"Well, it's not our division's turn to do this kind of thing. Our Qing Dynasty only had 40 divisions in total, and we called it the 38th division. It was the last three divisions. Unless the troops were wiped out, we would just guard the frontier. Otherwise, my uncle would not have put me in this division, saying that he should keep a low profile." Liu Fen held the antique and fondled it greedily.

"Oh, didn't our Qing Dynasty have troops in the northeast? Why did they all come to the southeast?" Shi Chuan stayed in China for five and a half years, and he was generally not recognized as a human being.

"Really? But I heard that this time we are not going to North Korea." Liu Fen put down the antique and said seriously.

"Huh? Now everyone is rumoring that they are going to fight?"

"Well, I heard that this time the little emperor said that he wants to take the bottom line and doesn't want to fight a protracted war. He wants to go directly to Tokyo!"

"Oh, brother Liu, wait for a moment. Brother will come as soon as he goes." Shi Chuan hurried back to the bedroom and sent a secret telegram to the country.When he came out, he brought a lot of pounds with him, "Brother Liu, bring more pounds for self-defense in these troubled times."

"Ah, how can this work? I'm so disrespectful! Haha!" Liu Fen said and stuffed the pound that Shi Chuan handed over into his pocket.
