Chapter 1450 Sensation
However, in the battle outside Nagasaki a few hours ago, the Shiraishi Regiment of nearly 4000 people was almost completely wiped out, including nearly [-] Shintoists, and even a Shintoist Many senior military officers were "destroyed" here, which undoubtedly poured a bucket of ice water on the heads of these radicals.

Before, Fang Linyan was thinking about the far-reaching impact of this battle on the Japanese government. Now, according to Zheng Xianren's intelligence feedback, this victory looks like a blow to the head. !The Tokyo government gave up all unrealistic illusions.

After all, at this time, Japan itself has not yet emerged from its status as a small country with few people, and the Meiji Restoration has not yet seen enough results.The "fall" of Nagasaki and the complete annihilation of the Shiraishi United were like two combined punches, which made the Japanese government dizzy and confused.

What Fang Linyan and his expeditionary army fear most is that the Japanese government keeps sending people from all over the country to harass them and bite them.

The conservative decision made by Tokyo at this time undoubtedly greatly overestimated the combat power of the expeditionary force, helped them a lot, and gave them a chance to breathe.

Then Zheng Xianren handed over a telegram and two newspapers:

"Now that the raid on Nagasaki has been spread, it has also caused a great shock internationally. Both Britain and France have expressed great concern about this incident, and expressed their shock at the presence of Russians among the troops who attacked Nagasaki. And very concerned.”

"The Russians sent a note to European countries, saying that the great Russian Empire has no intention of inserting the emperor's scepter into the Japanese territory for the time being, and expressed regret that a small number of Russians appeared in the bloodshed in Nagasaki. "

"According to the investigation, the original identities of these Russians were some low-level mercenaries from Vladivostok. They were composed of eliminated old and weak soldiers, exiles and adventurers. ) shipping company ships to Nagasaki, commanded by a Qing official named Yuren Song."

"Under such circumstances, the Russian Minister Cassini euphemistically stated that he did not expect that some drunks and thugs in Vladivostok could cause such great harm to Japan. For this reason, he personally sympathized with what Nagasaki suffered I am willing to donate all the salaries of this month to the poor residents there - 47 silver rubles. I will also write a letter to the Governor of the Far East in Vladivostok, urging him to manage the mercenaries under his rule and not let his dereliction of duty Causing havoc upon the poor citizens of a country."

There is no doubt that the current situation has made the Russians very excited, and Cassini's ugly face can be imagined from his words.

Britain and France should also be very annoyed, and began to re-examine whether their previous foreign policies were appropriate. After all, what they need is an ally who can effectively contain the Russians in the Far East, not a waste that can be knocked down at the first touch.

Finally, Zheng Xianren took out a telegram, waved it and said:

"This is the telegram I received 10 minutes ago."

Then Zheng Xianren's face became a little dignified, he glanced around, and suddenly smiled and said:

"At seven o'clock yesterday morning, the four warships Zhiyuan, Dingyuan, Chaoyong, and Yangwei of the Beiyang Fleet encountered three warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet near Sanyu Reef in the east of the Sea of ​​Japan, and successfully sunk the Japanese warships. After chasing the Chiyoda and Itsukushima for [-] nautical miles, the Kanbisou severely damaged the Itsukushima."

"At present, it can be confirmed that the Itsukushima ship is 120 nautical miles away from Tokyo Bay. Because of the strong wind and waves at sea, she was seriously injured and sank herself!"

After hearing the news, all the people were overjoyed.

Now their biggest worry is the Japanese Combined Fleet. Although they have already deployed in major ports in Japan and set up corresponding pawns and spies, once they discover the news of the Combined Fleet, they will send it by telegram immediately.

However, in the event of an unpredictable situation, who can guarantee that the chess pieces they arrange will definitely find the trace of the United Fleet?Even if it is discovered, can the information be passed on in time?

Originally, the United Fleet lost three warships in the Expeditionary Force (one Yura on the way + two repaired in the Nagasaki Naval Port). At this time, due to the attack on the Nagasaki Naval Port, a huge loophole appeared in the dispatch , but was directly captured by the Beiyang Navy and smashed it in one fell swoop!
This is the first time that the Beiyang Navy has caused the Japanese combined fleet to suffer a big loss in a frontal naval battle!

According to the current situation in China where there are three-foot waves even if there is no wind, the whole country must be celebrating at this time, and the sinking of two Japanese ships can cause a sensation in the world.

Fang Linyan also breathed a sigh of relief, because according to the normal historical development, the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War in the Yellow Sea had already happened, and the ending needless to say!Obviously, with my own efforts, history has changed! !

Dingyuan and Zhenyuan were originally scars that would never fade in the hearts of Chinese people, but now they have returned with honor.

"This day sheds tears all over the world, there is a man with a strong navy."

This depressing couplet will probably never appear again!
A group of people synthesized the current information obtained, as well as the estimates of the Chinese businessmen and local snakes, and then they will be able to obtain a buffer time of about four days. With this time, they can search and squeeze Nagasaki. Be more relaxed and full.

In fact, if the Japanese combined fleet advances at full speed, it will take less than two days at most to reach Nagasaki.But now they wouldn't dare to give them a hundred guts!It is estimated that the Minister of the Navy has been furious at this time, frantically generating power to the port where the United Fleet is staying, telling them to act cautiously.

At this time, after the United Fleet suffered two consecutive blows, it was already seriously injured. Whether it was in terms of tonnage or gun positions, it had been completely suppressed by the Beiyang Navy.

If it "advances" again and is successfully ambushed by the Beiyang navy, Japan will completely lose its dominance of the sea!This will directly lead to the cutting off of the supply lines of the tens of thousands of troops deployed in North Korea. After all, the ammunition and food of these Japanese troops must be replenished domestically.

For Japan, it will be an out-and-out disaster.Therefore, the United Fleet must demand stability. Anyway, the matter has come to this point, and it will not be a day or two away.

However, the situation after four days is extremely dangerous for the expeditionary force, not to mention the pressure of the combined maritime fleet.

Although the Japanese Army sent about eight or nine elite regiments to North Korea, with such a long buffer time, it must be able to call a division, a total of four to five regiments to Nagasaki.

With such a pincer attack by sea and land, the situation of the expeditionary force can be said to be extremely dangerous, and that is the biggest challenge that the entire expeditionary force has to face.

No matter how brave and good these old men are at fighting, it is impossible for them to make a comeback in such a situation, not to mention that their purpose of coming here is to burn, kill and loot, and now their morale is even more depressed.

After a group of people have fully grasped the current situation, they each have a bottom line in their hearts, so they are quite satisfied with the current situation.

Since the "Yura" successfully returned to Vladivostok, the Qiao family has only made money without losing money. At this time, the four-day buffer can ensure that the benefits can be maximized, allowing the captured two Japanese ships: Yoshino and Toshima returned with a full load.

At this time, Fang Linyan checked the progress bar of the war, and found that the victory rate of the Qing Dynasty had exceeded 85%, and his contribution was naturally the highest. However, he found that under this situation, he was still He was bitten by the two or three below!

Although only his name can be seen on this contribution ranking list, and the rest are anonymous, Fang Linyan immediately realized that among the second and third below him, one of them might be Mr. Cayenne.

The other person should be the person behind the scenes who single-handedly established the Sanyu Jiao naval battle.

In front of Fang Linyan's eyes, the appearance of the old housekeeper Arteba suddenly appeared, could it be him?

Of course, at this time, the group of Chinese businessmen headed by the Zheng family were the most smug. They were dealing with ups and downs. A dozen hours ago, they were still on the verge of family ruin and family extinction.

But more than ten hours later, because of the good relationship they formed before and their full cooperation with the expeditionary force, they successfully made their power reach its peak here in Nagasaki—although it was only temporary, it was not It hinders them from using the network of relationships established for a whole hundred years, and the network of contacts to start to lay out, and then seek huge benefits.

This is an achievement that the heroic ancestors of the past were unable to achieve.

The following night, and even a few days, must be a sleepless night, some people are excited, some are painful, some are ecstatic, and some are depressed.
After summarizing all the reasons, Fang Linyan said solemnly:

"Now I have received the latest news that the Russians are not stable."

Zheng Xianren behaved very plainly, and said with a slight smile:

"This should actually be expected, right? In the battle with the White Rock United, the Russians also suffered heavy casualties, and their morale must have been depressed. These Russians were originally brutal and undisciplined. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, they must indulge a bit."

"This kind of thing happened in ancient times. For example, if there are too many casualties in a siege, then in order to vent the soldiers' grievances, most of them will have to massacre the city for three days. For us, it is nothing more than losing money."

Seeing that Zheng Xianren seemed to be very experienced in handling this matter, Fang Linyan said in his heart:

"Actually so."

Then he told everything about Lyudmila and Romansaf.

Zheng Xianren came to the spirit immediately:
"Oh? Are these Russians still not united? That's interesting."
