However, it was somewhat beyond Ronnie's expectations that the local fleet was like a ghost. After waiting for a long time, without waiting for their news, they waited for an envoy from Japan.

The Japanese envoy was a female ninja with excellent kung fu. After she squeezed Ronnie out of almost the same amount, Ronnie also happily agreed to Japan's request to "leas" ten anti-submarine patrol boats.

Anyway, the situation in the East China Sea and the South China Sea is stable, and anti-submarine patrol boats can be used. If you can earn some extra money, why don’t Lonny do it?

Besides, Japan's attempt to plot against China is in the interests of the British Empire, and Lonnie has no reason not to 'hand the knife'.

In addition, the female ninja presented by Japan really met Ronni's appetite. He once felt that compared with the female monks of Indian Brahmins, they had different flavors and had different advantages. They really ate the marrow and knew the taste and were difficult to give up...

It was about the third day after he sent off the anti-submarine patrol boat, and Ronnie still remembered that it was April 12, and he finally received news from the local fleet.

Clayhall personally telegraphed and asked the Indian Ocean fleet to install and enter the Pacific Ocean to attack Long Hao's main naval force with him.

Clayhall's requirement for Ronnie is: the main attack mission is done by the local fleet, and the Indian Ocean Fleet's mission is very simple, which is to cut off the possible escape route of Long Hao's Navy, and be prepared to join the battlefield at any time, giving Long Hao a fatal blow.

Prepare.

Of course, Ronnie's understanding of this is: this kind of "fatal blow" is basically not used. He knows the strength of the warships brought by the local fleet this time. As long as Long Hao's submarine threat is removed, those miscellaneous brands

Navy? In the eyes of the British, they are just a lot of jokes!

So Lonnie didn't bother to observe Japan's actions in North Korea, but ordered all warships to sail to Guam in the western Pacific.

Guam is still a Spanish colony, but Lonnie has taught Spain's governors in Asia one by one in the past month. In his eyes, Guam is just unprepared and he will take it as soon as he wants!

Ronnie went to meet with Clayhall so high-profile, and what happened afterwards, let’s talk about this for now. Because at the same time as Ronnie, there was also the war in Japan in North Korea...

Japan's war in North Korea was progressing unusually smoothly.

They sent the army to the Korean Peninsula and won the battles. They not only defeated the local North Korean soldiers, but also used sneak attack tactics to clear out several Qing army camps.

The Qing army suffered a considerable loss. Therefore, the entire situation in North Korea continued to collapse at a speed that even the Japanese did not expect.

Before the Beiyang main force even arrived, Seoul was about to fall!

The success of the war surprised the Japanese Army's battlefield commanders: Hey, wasn't it agreed that the Qing army entered North Korea first? Why are we almost surrounding Seoul? But they didn't even show a shadow?

The slowness of the Qing army really surprised the Japanese army: This is still an army of a great country? It’s just a joke!

As a result, the morale of the Japanese army became increasingly high, and they drove back several breakthroughs of the Qing coalition forces guarding Seoul.

Seeing that Seoul was about to fall, the king of North Korea was about to curse: Qing Dynasty, a teammate like a pig, why did reinforcements come so slowly? We have been holding on for three days, and we really can't hold on! Logically speaking, you are just riding donkeys

, You should have arrived now, right? Has the distance from Beijing to Seoul suddenly become farther?

It is understandable that the King of North Korea is so angry, but it is obvious that he still lacks understanding of Chinese politics.

The reason why the army in Seoul was slow was not that the Beiyang or the Imperial Guards really broke their legs, but because in Beijing, in the Golden Palace... everyone is fighting for merit!

Yes, you heard it right, you just took the credit!

The Qing Dynasty and the people still regarded Japan as a small country, and they dared to send troops to land in North Korea, so they came to deliver vegetables!

Who will get such a great contribution and such a delicious side dish?

There was endless debate in the court, so that under the order of Li Hongzhang, the Beiyang infantry was almost entering the territory of North Korea and were forced to stop the horse: the Empress Dowager's decree came from the fast horse, asking them to camp on the spot and wait for orders.

The reason why Beiyang waited for the order was very simple. Because of the momentum of winning the credit, even Empress Dowager Cixi, who had just imprisoned the young emperor, could not suppress it. She had no choice but to let it go, and let the Huai Army, Hunan Army, Sichuan Army and other forces elect it one after another.

His own spokesperson strives to be the 'president of the North Korean army'.

Why is this position of "president" so attractive? It is different from the original history... I will follow it in one sentence, and it is all forced by Beiyang and Cixi!

Who made Cixi restless in her later years, and even kept the emperor shut up and abolished him?

The strong military strength shown by Beiyang under the leadership of Li Hongzhang made all factions tremble in their hearts!

I originally thought that when the little emperor took power, we could play political games in the court, play house, and divide the ownership of interests in a harmonious manner.

But now it seems that the two "old things" are not old yet!

The Empress Dowager and Zhongtang joined forces, one was to regain the power of the royal family, and the other was to show an overwhelming military advantage. It would be fine for the Beiyang Navy, but our Huai Army, Hunan Army, Sichuan Army, but you

The infantry is so strong. I heard that Miyang, who was trained by Long Hao, was defeated by them after a few charges!

If these two giants work together, where can we live?

If you are a little unsatisfied, you will beat the stick together. Are we still letting them slaughter?

No, it won’t work like this. Just as Japan is making small moves in North Korea, we have to take action and find a little room to move around to offset the impact of the Queen Mother’s joint efforts!

Therefore, under the unanimous opposition of various factions in the court, the Beiyang infantry was forced to terminate their entry into the country and instead presented this "honor" to a representative of a certain force as a gift of political compromise...

Perhaps because of the idea of ​​stabilizing the court situation, Empress Dowager Cixi decided to 'hang the heroic officials Beiyang' to avoid the threat of the small forces in the court. They united and burned their boats... If so,

If Guangxu has the opportunity to turn the tables, it will be no longer beautiful.

Various reasons have led to Seoul being captured by the Japanese army as in history.

In the original history, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and was fully prepared. Seoul was captured by the Japanese army within a few days, and North Korean King Lee Hee was captured.

Now, on April 13, Seoul was attacked by 11,000 Japanese troops for three days and two nights. King Li Xi had caused certain losses to the Japanese army because of his strong organization of breaking through the siege, so he did not even have a prisoner this time.

Treat it as, the angry Japanese army cut off their heads with a knife.

Seoul fell, the North Korean government was controlled by Japan, and the news came back to Beijing. The Qing court and the country were extremely shocked.

Don't get me wrong. They are not observing silence for Li Xi, but they think that Japan is too bullying and has played through the world! You said that you two children play house, and we can understand that the Qing Dynasty will fight each other a few times.

Forget it. But you beat the North Korean children to half-dead and even cut off XDD, which is too much!

Do you also take our "adult" as the Qing Dynasty seriously?

No, our Qing Dynasty will take action to teach you a lesson!

No matter whether Japan recognizes itself or is "adult", anyway, "our Qing Dynasty" is angry. Although the army does not allow the Beiyang infantry to do the work, you should not bother with Beiyang. I have maintained your navy for so many years.

Now it's time to serve the country.

Our Qing Dynasty said: The Beiyang Navy will immediately set off from Lushun Port and reinforce North Korea by sea!

As for the position of "President on Land" that had been fighting for for a long time, it was ultimately acquired by Ye Zhichao, the representative of the Huai Army.

We will not repeat Ye Zhichao's character. In short, the Qing army, which was regarded as the "president", was destined to be tragic.

Well, our main focus should be on the Beiyang Navy...

"Is Beiyang going to set out?"

In the green jade dragon boat, Long Hao was clapping his nails and asked leisurely to the breeze.

Next to the breeze are a group of alchemy disciples trained by football schools. They are all full of energy and their baby's faces are full of excitement.

Being able to stand in the Qingyu Dragon Boat and listen to Long Hao's teachings and assignments is a supreme honor for them!

"Yes, young master, if the estimate is good, the Beiyang Navy will arrive above us in three hours!" Wei Feng stood on the control table of the Qingyu Dragon Boat and looked at the slowly moving block group above carefully.

After countless modifications and enhancements, the Qingyu Dragon Boat has been able to monitor large metal fluctuations within a radius of thirty nautical miles above its head.

And the armored warship is the biggest source of metal fluctuations!

Today is April 24th. The green jade dragon boat is lurking under the vast sea surface of the Yellow Sea. Around it, there are several red dragon beards. There are a total of 400 sailors in it, quietly and at any time.

Stand by.

That's right. Long Hao was not chasing Clayhall in the Pacific with his butt as generally speculated by American public opinion. The reality is that when he heard about the uprising of the Dongxue Party of North Korea, he put down his work.

Pay attention to the movements on the Korean Peninsula at any time.

There is no way, who made the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, especially the "Battle of the Yellow Sea" in it too famous!

After the great destruction, this paragraph will be written in the history courses of China, reminding the Chinese people not to forget our eternal enemy: Little Japan.

The Battle of the Yellow Sea occurred in history after the fall of Pyongyang. In a hurry, Li Hongzhang sent the main force of the Beiyang Navy to the Yellow Sea, but because of underestimating the enemy, he was sneak attacked by the main force of the Japanese fleet, and then a decisive battle broke out.

As usual, Pyongyang City is still good now. Japan's invasion of North Korea and its ambitions for China are still in its infancy. The collision between the main forces of the two fleets should not have come so soon.

The most likely thing to happen is a small-scale tentative contact like the "Tongshima Naval Battle".

However, history will not repeat 100%, not to mention that there are too many "butterfly effects" mixed in the middle.

Think about it, since the Japanese army would have provoked the Dongxue Party uprising several months in advance, why wouldn’t the ‘Battle of the Yellow Sea’ happen in advance?

Well, even if it won't happen in advance, Long Hao, who is "compassionate" in order to end this changed Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 as soon as possible, will also prompt a big collision between the Chinese and Japanese navies!

"It's not far from the futures delivery date on May 1st. After counting, I've been here for almost a month. Since Beiyang has left the port, let this fateful couple understand each other's strength.

Right!" Long Hao sat in the green jade dragon boat and said to himself, his expression indescribable.

Indeed, in Long Hao's mind, this early "Jiangwu Navy Battle" is definitely not as important as his golden short order!

What was the result of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895? It actually had a very small impact on Long Hao.

However, if the gold short order plan fails, although Long Hao will not go bankrupt, at least his previous myth of creating miracles will be shattered, and the goal of using gold short orders to defeat Morgan and Rockefeller will be even more distant.

.

The US economic pillar will not collapse, and the timeline for realizing its own alchemy line will undoubtedly be extended a lot.

Therefore, in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Long Hao would not let it delay.

Or to a certain extent, this naval battle is just a tool used by Long Hao to fulfill a wish.

This wish is...a answer that the Chinese have been asking themselves for hundreds of years after the Sino-Japanese War: "If the Sino-Japanese War could be repeated, if the Beiyang Navy knew the intention of the Japanese army from the beginning, if the shells were not mixed
To be continued...
