Chapter 362 Killing someone in the Zhili Governor's Office

"What did you say?"

Yuki Ito, who was just immersed in the content of what he was talking about with Kishin Kawayama, heard the adjutant's words and was frightened. He was surrounded? Running into the ambush circle of the Beiyang Navy?

"This is impossible!" The same reaction was also the Kizuki of Huashan. The joint fleet attacked this time to raid. The Beiyang Navy caught him off guard and thus controlled the sea control of the Yellow Sea. But now someone told him that the target they were going to raid was ready, not only was they ready, but they also ambushed them in turn? They are navy. In the vast sea, how could the Chinese know their route, and how could they do a good job of ambushing in such an environment?

"Military Commander, Commander, this is true. The lookout officer also discovered Dingyuan and Zhenyuan. If you don't believe it, you can see it yourself!"

The adjutant pointed out the window of the command cabin with a heavy expression. Yukihiro Ito and Kissaka Karayama immediately looked in the direction he pointed, and soon, they found several cigarette pillars. These cigarette pillars were very light and could not even be distinguished if they didn't look carefully. However, they could not know what the cigarette pillars on the sea meant.

"There are spies!" Kichi Kawayama's face turned dark. Such a major military operation, he wanted to sneak attack others, but was ambushed by the target, and was still at sea... Without spies and without enough spies to provide their routes to the Chinese, the Beiyang Navy could not do this at all. However, there were only a few people in the Liaoliao, all of whom were senior officers in the navy. How could they betray the empire?

"Now is not the time to consider these." Yuki Ito gasped with a suspicious look, "Since you have already met, you can't retreat anymore... Adjutant, send a command of the fleet and prepare for the battle!"

"Hi!"

...

"Yuyuki Ito!"

The two fleets were getting closer and closer. The command cabin of the Dingyuan, and saw through the telescope that the Japanese fleet began to accelerate, Liu Buchan also had a gloomy face. However, his gloomy face did not look at the Japanese warship opposite, but was facing the young man who was fiddling with an iron box in his command cabin. There was a military cap next to him, and a thick and long braid was stuck to the rear edge of the military cap.

"It's unbelievable. Telegrams can be sent and received wirelessly... How many trump cards do Tangzhou have not been known to others?" Liu Buchan stood next to him, and he couldn't help but sigh as he watched the young man keep sending and receiving telegrams with his headsets.

"No matter what trump card they have, now, they are all our allies." Liu Buchan sighed, turned around and looked out of the cabin: "Yuhoho Ito has come here, so let's prepare for war too. Tell the ships that this battle is to sink the enemy's weak ships as the main combat target... We must send this group of Japanese pirates to the bottom of the sea before the arrival of the Tangzhou fleet!"

"twitter!"

...

The Yellow Sea War between the Beiyang Navy and the Joint Fleet finally began. Although it was a while later than the original Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the first decisive battle between the world's steam ships was finally staged. However, this time, the Beiyang Navy chose to take the initiative to fight, and it still made ambush in advance with intentional arising and unintentionality. Although the so-called ambush in naval battles is essentially different from the land war, one thing is certain, that is, the Beiyang Navy has a certain advantage.

In the original history, in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, Japanese ships "Hairi", "Hirui", "Chime", "Xijingmaru", "Matsushima" and other warships suffered heavy losses, and warships such as "Super courage", "Yingyuan", and "Jingyuan" were sunk. It was Liu Buchan who commanded "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" tenaciously resisted the siege of five warships of the Japanese fleet, and fought until the sunset was setting. The enemy ships retreated and retreated.

After the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the Beiyang Fleet first renovated the Lushunkou Military Port, and then moved from Lushunkou to defend the Weihaiwei Military Port.

In December, the Japanese army launched the Shandong Peninsula Battle, and the Qing army was about to collapse at a loss. On January 20, 1895, the Japanese Army captured the two north and south gangs of Weihai Acropolis, and attacked the Beiyang Fleet in Weihai Wei Harbor with the Japanese Navy. During the battle, the "Dingyuan" ship was hit by lightning. Liu Buchan ordered the "Dingyuan" ship to sail to the shallow sea near Liugong Island and act as a fort, and repelled eight attacks of the Japanese army.

On February 10, the Beiyang Fleet suffered heavy losses and foreign aid was hopeless. At this time, some officers and soldiers inside the Beiyang Fleet forced the admiral Ding Ruchang and the registered admiral Liu Buchan to surrender. The sad, angry and desperate Liu Buchan ordered the "Dingyuan" ship that was sank with water to sank the "Dingyuan" ship that was full of holes and sores. According to records, in the afternoon, Liu Buchan came to the residence of his subordinate Lu Yuying and saw the "Dingyuan" gun mate wrote the poem "The only death in the ages" "Liu Buchan smiled and said loudly: "Is it only Madam Xi sad?" After reading it, he floated out (Madam Xi was a historical figure who maintained a loyalty in adversity during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.) That night, Liu Buchan committed suicide and sacrificed his life for justice.

On the morning of the 12th, Ding Ruchang committed suicide. On this day, the Beiyang Navy surrendered the troops to raise a white flag to contact the Japanese army for surrender.

At 10 a.m. on the 17th, the Japanese joint fleet officially occupied Weihai Wei Port and captured 10 warships including "Zhenyuan", "Jiyuan", "Guangbing", and "Zhendong" of the Beiyang Navy. 5,054 surrendered by the Qing Navy, including 2,040 troops and 3,014 navy.

Since then, the dragon flag fell, and the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty disappeared. Li Hongzhang was forced to support his old body to take on all responsibilities. Japan received 200 million taels of silver and Taiwan compensated by the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Since then, it has escaped from the economic crisis and has jumped up to become the largest country in East Asia. The great powers have also seen the corruption and decline of the Qing Dynasty and began a frenzy of dividing China.

But this time it's different.

The Beiyang Navy was not restricted and attacked with all his strength at the beginning.

Just when the Beiyang Navy and the Joint Fleet met in the Huanghai, several people also came to the yamen of the Zhili Governor's Office.

"Who?" The guards at the door were arrogant and looked at the people in front of them with great care.

"Tell Lao Li, Mr. Guo has arrived. Let him come out to greet him!" Guo Jinzhang shouted arrogantly with his hands behind his back.

"Bold!" The guard was furious. What a person Li Hongzhang is like? Not to mention a strange guy who doesn't know and has not yet had a braid, even when the prince and minister comes, he has to say a respectful honestly... This guy dares to let the old man come out to greet him?

"Where did you come from something that is ignorant of the world? You ran to the Governor's Office to take off your own life. Don't want to live?"

Several guards rushed down with their swords, reached out to grab Guo Jinzhang and grabbed Guo Jinzhang. At this moment, a strong man with a big sword behind Guo Jinzhang suddenly blocked them with a quick step.

"Looking for death!" He dared to resist? The guards were even more furious and pulled out their swords from their waists. However, it was fine if they didn't draw the sword. Before they could react, they saw a light in front of them, and the strong wind blew on their faces. Then they felt that their wrists hurt and they could no longer hold the things in their hands. After the "clang" sound, the sword fell all over the floor.

"Good sword technique." Sun Lutang, who was standing beside Guo Jinzhang, couldn't help but praise. The big sword is a heavy weapon, and Wang Wu used it to weigh more than 30 kilograms. Most people couldn't even play it. However, the head of the Shunyuan Escort Agency could use the big sword in his hand with such small means, and it was fast and accurate. No wonder he could make a huge name in Beijing. You know, as the capital, Beijing is hiding dragons and lying tigers, and there are many experts. Even Cheng Tinghua, one of his masters, was living there.

"Brother Sun laughed." Wang Wu smiled indifferently and retreated. His injury had not healed yet. The little thing just now was fine. If he really had a big fight, he would have to rely on Sun Lutang, the tiger-headed young security guard.

"You dare to use force in the Governor's Office, you can wait..."

Knowing that he had encountered a tough guy, the guards did not dare to act freely, but they did not dare to slip away. One of them ran into the gate to report the news, while the other several hurriedly picked up their swords and tried to block the door with airs.

"Don't be nervous. Lao Li and I are friends, so I won't go in." Looking at the nervous look of several guards, Guo Jinzhang shook his head and smiled. As soon as he finished speaking, a cold snorted from the gate, and then Zhou Fu, dressed in green, walked out:

"Of course Mr. Guo won't score in, but even if you don't move now, what's the difference between you and you score in?"

"This is..." Guo Jinzhang didn't know anyone, so he had to look at Liu Tongfu beside him.

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, you guys just now have attacked us. Why do you listen to your words? It seems like we are our fault?" Liu Tongfu laughed dryly, then leaned into Guo Jinzhang's ear, and whispered: "Zhou Fu, one of Li Hongzhang's confidants, has worked in the group training in Shandong, but later quit, and returned to Li Hongzhang's shogunate."

"Oh, it turns out it's Mr. Zhou." Guo Jinzhang hugged the other party and clasped his fists.

"Don't dare to take it." Zhou Fu snorted coldly again, returned a casual bow, and then turned his head to stare at several guards who were still holding swords and pretending to be brave. "You are blind? Didn't you see that Mr. Liu is here? You dare to stop him... and you will all get twenty military sticks for me!"

"Yes..." The guards were stunned at first, and then they all became dejected. They thought Zhou Fu could support them when she came. You know, this person is one of Li Zhongtang's confidants. Generally, he is a senior official, but in the end he was asked to lead the army... Mr. Liu? What's wrong with Mr. Liu? Didn't the yamen in the yamen not allow this person to enter?

"I dare not talk to others, so I will cause trouble for us little people." The guards couldn't help but say in their hearts.

...

"Well, Mr. Zhou, can I go in?" Zhou Fu's handling of the guards was not related to Guo Jinzhang's affairs, but looking at the sun, he was unwilling to just stay at the door of others and stood stupidly, so he asked Zhou Fu again.

"Of course." Zhou Fu grinned, "Mr. Guo can come to our Zhili Governor's Office, which will make our yamen shine brightly. How can we stay outside the door? Please come in!"

"Thank you!" Guo Jinzhang nodded and took Liu Tongfu and others to the stairs. However, when he and Liu Tongfuju walked past first, it was Sun Lutang and Wang Wu's turn, Zhou Fu suddenly reached out to stop the two of them.

"Two guys, wait."

"What's wrong?" Guo Jinzhang turned around and asked.

"The head of the Chief Wang of Shunyuan Escort Agency, right? I have heard that your sword is powerful... But if you want to enter my Governor's Office, please give up the sword first." Zhou Fu ignored him and just stared at Wang Wu and said.

"Old Li is still afraid of a big knife?" Guo Jinzhang asked with a smile.

"Of course, Lord Zhongtang is not afraid of any big sword, but this big sword is inevitably a little guilty when he follows Mr. Guo." Zhou Fu said with a dry smile.

"Is this a compliment or a sarcasm?" Liu Tongfu asked with a smile.

"Of course it's a compliment." Zhou Fu said.

"Then I want to thank you too?...Well, Lao Wang, what do you think?" Guo Jinzhang looked at Wang Wu again.

"What's the point of being a mere knife?" Wang Wu smiled slightly, pulled out the big knife from behind, and threw it to a guard. As a result, although the guard caught the big knife, he was brought back several steps by the weight of the big knife and the power carried on the knife, and did not stop until he hit the pillar.

"Hmph." Zhou Fu couldn't help but snorted again. Of course he knew that Wang Wu was demonstrating. But he was too lazy to argue with this martial artist. A small Shunyuan Escort Agency, if Guo Jinzhang had not spoken to protect him, would have been destroyed by Ronglu because of Wang Wu's confrontation with the Imperial Guards. He would have wanted to run to the Governor's Office to show off his power?

"The knife has been handed over, can you leave now?" Liu Tongfu asked again.

"Please follow me." Zhou Fu glanced at everyone coldly again, turned around and took the lead in walking into the yamen. Liu Tongfu and Guo Jinzhang took a look, and followed.

...

"Where is Li Zhongtang?"

Zhou Fu took him into the living room. However, the living room was deserted and there was no one. Liu Tongfu was a regular visitor here, but every time he came over, Li Hongzhang was already sitting here waiting. Now, his boss has come, and the old guy has disappeared?

"I'm sorry, please wait. The master of the central hall will arrive soon." Zhou Fu ignored Liu Tongfu's questions, bowed to Guo Jinzhang again, turned around and left.

“Hey, hey…”

"Okay, stop calling me. Old Man Li clearly wanted to let me go, he felt angry!" Guo Jinzhang sat on the chair of the first in the left head and smiled at Liu Tongfu.

"Nonsense." Liu Tongfu glared at him, "If I were me, I would also be angry. Look at what you did?"

"Isn't it just for him to mobilize the new army of the Beiyang Navy and Ding Ruchang? I'm all for his own good." Guo Jinzhang replied with a smile.

"For his good?" Liu Tongfu smiled bitterly: "You are the only one who has this shame."

"Then you're wrong. My face is pretty thin in our industry. Not to mention others, silly," Guo Jinzhang whined to the Kong Kongguan's position, "The master here is much thicker than me. Compared to others, I'm just a witch."

"Stop talking about these useless things. I was worried when you first came, guessing that there would be no good things for you, but you actually pretended to be saying something about me and wanted to find a wife? Humph." Liu Tongfu rolled his eyes again.

"I didn't lie to you. I really want to find a wife." Guo Jinzhang raised his hand and shouted.

"Come on, with your status, even if Tangzhou lacks women, can you lose your ladies?" Liu Tongfu glared at him again, "I said that if you leave Seattle, you must have something big. Okay, even the troops in his hands have been mobilized. You are so awesome, Commander Guo!"

"Give it too much..." Guo Jinzhang bowed to him repeatedly, proud.

"That... Mr. Guo, what did Mr. Liu say just now?" Wang Wu and Sun Lutang sat in the lower head, looking at the nose and the heart. They all knew that although they had two efforts, the people around them were real big men, and they could cause bloody storms in just a few words. So they just wanted to be the responsibilities of a bodyguard, and did not think about anything else. However, what Liu Tongfu just said was too explosive. Guo Jinzhang actually mobilized the Beiyang Navy and Ding Ruchang's New Huai Army? Aren't these all Li Hongzhang's teams to see the family's fortune?

"Actually, I didn't say anything. I just threw all his heart and soul treasures on the battlefield with Old Man Li on his back. Tsk, they are all talents. The enemy is strong. If you are not careful, some of them may not be able to come back. Old Man Li's family may also have to be compensated for most of them." Guo Jinzhang smiled.

"Ah..." No wonder the Zhou surnamed was so cold-eyed as soon as he came up. Wang Wu and Sun Lutang understood. But after they understood, they felt a storm in their hearts. For more than 20 years, Li Hongzhang has been so powerful that even the royal family felt threatened. But for such a person, Guo Jinzhang actually took out his family's assets?

"It seems that I might have to fight to the death later." Wang Wu and the others smiled bitterly in their hearts. But they were not too nervous. It was not their fight to fight to the death, that was the matter between Guo Jinzhang and Li Hongzhang. Besides, if there was a danger in this trip, Li Hongzhang might take action. Guo Jinzhang would not bring the four foreign bodyguards together? After knowing this time, they didn't think that Guo Jinzhang likes adventure. But that was Li Hongzhang after all, Guo Jinzhang looked at the back door of the living room in peace and ruthlessly... The two of them thought secretly, and looked at the back door of the living room at the same time... They had heard slight footsteps.

"Pay most of my money, Humph, Guo Jinzhang, since you know that you may be able to pay most of my money this time, how should we calculate this account?" Sure enough, with a cold snorkeling, Li Hongzhang, wearing a yellow jacket, ruby ​​top, and white hair, appeared in the living room. As soon as he met, the old man looked at Guo Jinzhang with murderous aura.

"How to calculate it? Hehe, Lao Li, if you have the guts, just kill me." Guo Jinzhang smiled and didn't care.

"Do you think I dare not?" Li Hongzhang asked in a dark voice.

"It's not that I think, but it's certain." Guo Jinzhang shrugged, "Old Li, I admire you, but I also despise you......Your ability is this to support such a chaotic and dilapidated and complex situation in the Qing Dynasty to this point..." Guo Jinzhang gave a thumbs up, "But facing the enemy, you can only retreat step by step, worrying about this and that, and never dare to fight a good fight, so, in terms of courage, you are this..."

"You have courage, why don't you go to Zuo Zongtang?" Li Hongzhang stared at Guo Jinzhang and raised his little finger. He couldn't help but ask angrily.

"I'll go sooner or later... But I guess you'll go first than me." Guo Jinzhang said seriously.

"You... are so slick. You are not afraid of losing your identity."

"What is my identity? The common people are the same... That, how about asking you to watch a show in order to apologize to you?" Guo Jinzhang smiled at Li Hongzhang, and suddenly raised his eyebrows at Liu Tongfu again. Liu Tongfu looked at him like this but couldn't help rolling his eyes again, and then took out a gun from behind...

"What do you want to do?" Li Hongzhang's expression chilled.

"What are you doing, kill someone!" Liu Tongfu raised his gun...

"Bang!"
