Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 286 Beiyang Navy?

It took Bai Mingxiu a little time to finally complete the achievement: three heads of the Manchu emperors, plus two pieces of luck.

In the past, Bai Mingxiu always felt that he belonged to the kind of benevolence, the type of "gentlemen stay away from the kitchen", and he didn't even watch thrillers that were too bloody.However, now Bai Mingxiu has been very enthusiastic and proficient in arranging the Qing Emperor's head that has been embalmed like he is arranging handicrafts.

"Four heads, three balls of luck. There is no luck in Tongzhi, but this is not surprising. He does not have any real power. The real power is the old witch Cixi. But according to this logic, Guangxu should not have any luck either. Luck?" Bai Mingxiu couldn't think clearly, but he wasn't worried, he just had to do it step by step.

Sometimes the system would make noise in his ears, but Bai Mingxiu didn't take it seriously.

Bai Mingxiu had just finished dealing with the three declining Qing emperors when another space transformation occurred.Bai Mingxiu's eyes flashed, and he found that he was already in an unfamiliar sea.He was on the flagship of the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army Navy, the Donghai Ironclad.

"Hey, why are you involved?" Bai Mingxiu looked at Sister Shi's picturesque face and couldn't help but be surprised.

Sister Lion simply replied: "Because our navy also has enemies we have to face."

Bai Mingxiu just wanted to say what kind of opponent the Fuguo Army Navy could have, but a dozen red dots immediately appeared on his small map.

"Northern Fleet?"

Sure enough, the name of the ship began to be displayed on Bai Mingxiu's mini-map. Familiar but sad ship names came into view, and Bai Mingxiu fell silent in a rare way.

The two sides have not yet entered the visual distance, but Bai Mingxiu can already feel the pressure.Compared with the army system, the Ming army has a fairly clear advantage. The current sea power of the Great Ming Restoration Army is half a century behind the technical level of the Beiyang Fleet.

"It seems that I can only rely on you, Miss Lion." Bai Mingxiu did not lose his confidence. After all, he still has the existence of Miss Lion. Miss Lion was the wife of a battleship during World War II. A century's lead, although she only has one person, it is no problem to deal with the Beiyang Fleet.

However, Sister Shi said slightly seriously: "Your Highness, I feel that there is the same existence as my own in the opponent's fleet."

"What?" Bai Mingxiu was shocked by this. Can the Beiyang Navy also have a ship girl?What plane did this come from?

Sure enough, Bai Mingxiu carefully checked the red dots on the small map. There were two red dots that were obviously smaller, but their names showed that they should not be smaller - Dingyuan and Zhenyuan.But there are two larger red dots on the other side, which are also marked with the second ship Dingzhen.

"The second ship Dingzhen is the ship's mother, be good." Bai Mingxiu rubbed his head.

Sister Lion said: "I still have confidence in dealing with these two sisters. However, if the rest of the fleet opens up against our fleet, we may suffer relatively large losses."

Bai Mingxiu sighed: "Escape is impossible. Our average speed is 14-16 knots, while the fastest Zhiyuan and Jingyuan of the Beiyang Navy can advance at 18 knots, and their artillery caliber is also large. , has a long range, and poses a serious threat to us."

"Besides, we can't give up on this enemy. There are Guangxu and Cixi!"

Bai Mingxiu had discovered at this time that there were three projected characters on the enemy fleet, namely Guangxu, Cixi and Li Hongzhang. The ill-fated fleet has a deep connection.Li Hongzhang single-handedly pulled this fleet together. Guangxu once had a dream of making great efforts to govern, while Cixi repeated between the navy and Xiuyuanzi.

Bai Mingxiu smiled wryly, and said, "Whether from the perspective of collecting the head of the Qing emperor or luck, we have to fight this battle."

Sister Shi nodded and said: "I know His Highness's determination, so please ask His Highness to work hard with me. Now, Your Highness should strengthen our side."

There is no Donghai-class ironclad ship in Bai Mingxiu's exchange list for the time being. This thing was created temporarily, and Bai Mingxiu bought it.And because he didn't master the technology, he couldn't buy a lot of krypton gold.What he can exchange directly from the system now is the most basic model that uses steam engines and propellers, still uses sails as the main power, and the hull is covered with a layer of iron armor, which is roughly equivalent to the steam iron-clad ships of the 1850s.

The tonnage of this type of warship is about 2300 tons, and the speed is 16 knots. The largest caliber weapon is the 155mm naval gun produced by the Nanming Military Industry System.It can be said that this type of steam ironclad ship has some difficulty facing the warships of the Beiyang Navy and is at a disadvantage.But it is not without the power of a battle. Although it may be more risky to bear the attack, the 155mm naval guns of these warships can still effectively penetrate the armor of the Beiyang Navy warships.

Bai Mingxiu did not hesitate. He exchanged 10 of the 10 steam-armored sailing ships in one go and directly expanded them into his own fleet. This made his Ming army dominant, at least in terms of paper strength.

When the two fleets finally met on the water, Bai Mingxiu was very nervous. On the contrary, Sister Lion, the commander, seemed extremely calm.

On the flagship Dingyuan over there, Lafayette waved his ghostly nails and said to Li Hongzhang: "Master Li, the Qing Dynasty cannot live without you loyal ministers. How well you build the Beiyang Navy will depend on you." Let's see if we can defeat this chaotic party."

Li Hongzhang bent his waist and said: "Old Buddha, I will be lucky enough to live up to my destiny."

The young man Guangxu on the other side also encouraged him: "Lord Li, it's up to the Beiyang Navy to protect the dynasty and open up the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop!"

Li Hongzhang hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Form formation! Attack!" Li Hongzhang was the real general of this naval battle, although in history he was only the builder of the Beiyang Navy, not the real general.

Bai Mingxiu looked at the Beiyang Fleet at the other end, and said with emotion: "It is very true to the historical facts, but it still adopts a multi-column formation. It seems that if we want to divide our ships."

Sister Shi said confidently: "I will not let them succeed."

Under the leadership of Donghai, the navy of the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army formed a beautiful long formation, and began to attack the Qing navy in the wind direction.However, it was the Qing army that took the lead in attacking.

Two ship girls wearing yellow mandarins and wearing flower feathers have already moved to the sea.

"Sister on the other side, are you ready? Let's fire!" Several 305mm shells shot straight at the Ming fleet!
　Tonight, I will finish the mechanical descending part. In fact, writing these contents is not just for the sake of every Manchu emperor, but to lead to a small plot in the next stage. The foreshadowing has been laid before, and readers will guess What is it
