Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"General Yan, do you think we will attack the Sea of ​​Japan to intercept their troop carrier this time?" Deng Shichang interrupted Yan Fu's train of thought.

Yan Fu put down the telegram and said, "General Deng, I was just looking at the information on the Japanese fleet sent by the imperial court. You must have read it, right?"

"Yes, Japan has developed rapidly in recent years. I didn't expect it to develop so fast. Although the total tonnage of its navy is much behind my Qing Dynasty. But in this naval battle, he can dispatch warships from all over the country, and my Qing Dynasty has to guard against it. The British fleet in the south escorted Germany to Thailand for supplies. From this point of view, we have suffered a considerable loss." Deng Shichang said helplessly.

"Nowadays the Korean war is fierce. I heard that the Japanese army in Seoul has been surrounded by our four divisions of the Qing Dynasty. I believe that Japan will increase its troops to North Korea on a large scale in the near future. We can take this opportunity to fight selectively." Yan Fu said. .

"Yes, otherwise, the little devil saw my Qing fleet brandishing swords in the Yellow Sea and clamoring for a long time, but still couldn't make a single move. It would make people laugh, so General Yan meant to fight?" Deng Shichang said excitedly.

"This matter has to be reported to the imperial court. I don't know what the emperor means. The emperor is wise and mighty, but there must be a deep meaning in asking us to block the Yellow Sea. Now Japan is still sending supplies from Japan, although the route on land will be longer. It's better to avoid it. After breaking our blockade, the emperor should have already noticed it." Yan Fu said.

When Guan Xuqing heard that a brigade stationed in North Korea finally had news, he was very happy but also deeply blamed himself.In fact, I have known for a long time that Japan will attack North Korea, so why did I forget this brigade?Caused so many casualties, always feel sorry for those soldiers who died.

On this day, Guan Xuqing was reading the military newspaper sent by North Korea in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Wang Shang gently opened the door, and said softly, "Your Majesty, a joint telegram from General Yan and General Deng."

"Yan Fu and Deng Shichang?" Guan Xuqing raised his head.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Shang handed over the telegram.

Guan Xuqing looked carefully, and Yan Fu listed the current strength of the Chinese and Japanese navies in detail.And because the Japanese navy avoided the Yellow Sea, the two fleets never had a chance to meet.Today, Japan has suffered a bit in North Korea and has increased its troops to North Korea on a large scale.It is a good time for the fleet to take the initiative to attack, and the order is here to fight.

After reading it, Guan Xuqing smiled in relief.It seems that Deng Shichang and Yan Fu were not idle in Lushun, and they were still thinking about how to destroy the Japanese fleet all day long, rather than clinging to Lushun to block the Yellow Sea.

Guan Xuqing came to the map with his hands behind his back, looking at Japan like an earthworm facing the sea.Suddenly a bold idea flashed in his mind, why must we prevent Japan from landing in the inland of our Qing Dynasty?I have changed history, so can't I land in the inland of Japan? ?Didn't Japan send more troops to North Korea? The country must be empty...

"Quickly, go and call Feng Xianghua, Li Hongzhang, and Prince Gong." Guan Xuqing shouted without turning his head.

"twitter."

After a while, the three arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation one after another.

"Come to see the emperor."

"Be flat."

Guan Xuqing turned around, waved to them, and signaled them to come over.Then he said: "Look, this is the Sea of ​​Japan and this is North Korea. Japan's current supply route looks like this." He drew a straight line on the map with his hands.

"And my Beiyang Fleet is in Lushun, patrolling the waters of the Yellow Sea. Entering the Sea of ​​​​Japan is a sheep's mouth. The lack of shells and raw materials for a thousand-mile expedition cannot last for a long time, but the Japanese fleet can be replenished nearby, and Japan has the fastest ship in Asia. To It's time to withdraw and I can't withdraw." Guan Xuqing said helplessly.

Prince Gong said: "Your Majesty is wise. The Beiyang Fleet only needs to guard the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. There is no need to take the initiative to attack, and Japan is weak. It doesn't matter if it is allowed to increase troops and supplies to North Korea. Forgive him for being a small country. Can't beat my Great Qing Lion."

"Uncle Six is ​​right, but what's the point of spending time with a little Japan like this? The court's prestige among the people will be greatly reduced. People say that the Qing Dynasty beat France, Britain, Russia, and at least a few months, more than a year. The foreign barbarians bowed their heads and surrendered, but they could not attack a small Japan for a long time. What would the common people think of us? What we fought and destroyed was the money of the common people. In addition, Britain is now in Africa To quell the rebellion, once they come to their senses, Liu Shu thinks they will resume the Burmese doctrine? Especially when we are still struggling with Japan in North Korea!" Guan Xuqing said with a serious face.

"Your majesty is wise, but I don't think carefully." Prince Gong said with a red face.

Guan Xuqing glanced at Feng Xianghua, and said, "So, before the British come to their senses, I will completely defeat Japan. Xianghua, tell me how to fight?"

Feng Xianghua looked at the map and said: "Japan is an island country surrounded by sea. To defend the entire coastal defense, the fleet must be dispersed, but now they have concentrated the fleet of the whole country in the Sea of ​​Japan in order to escort the troop carrier. Nagasaki in the East China Sea, Tokyo in the Pacific Ocean, and Yokohama are all exposed in front of us in a vacuum. I think that the most effective way to attack Japan is to directly attack the Japanese mainland and destroy its foundation."

Guan Xuqing looked at the increasingly mature Feng Xianghua, and felt joy in his heart, "Continue talking."

"I thought that the Beiyang Fleet could send warships to escort the troop carriers to land directly from Nagasaki. The rest of the warships were all in ambush between the Yellow Sea and the Sea of ​​Japan. If the Japanese fleet came to rescue them, they would be destroyed directly. If they didn't come, the army would come from Nagasaki. Landing destroys its domestic industrial capabilities!" Feng Xianghua continued.

Guan Xuqing nodded with a smile, and continued: "If Japan comes to the rescue, and our Qing fleet is defeated, what should we do? I have read the comparison and analysis of the Chinese and Japanese navies in serious cases. The strength of the Japanese navy is not as strong as that of the Qing Dynasty. Down."

"Uh... this, I expect Master Qingshui to win a big victory." Feng Xianghua said awkwardly.

131 chapters of the competition in East Asia

Guan Xuqing patted Feng Xianghua on the shoulder, now Guan Xuqing is 20 years old, taller than Feng Xianghua by half a head.Although he was young, Feng Xianghua did not dare to look directly at Guan Xuqing because of his inherent imperial spirit.

"Xiang Hua, the idea is good. But remember, you have to think about the worst, but you have to do the best! Do you understand?" Guan Xuqing turned around and continued to look at the map.

"The minister respectfully obeys the instruction."

"Come on, you all have a look." Guan Xuqing pointed to the map and said, "If the Japanese fleet goes out to the Sea of ​​Japan for rescue, where do you think is the best place to fight with it?"

"Donghai." Li Hongzhang said.

"Oh? Why?" Guan Xuqing asked with a smile.

"The East China Sea is the blessed place of our Great Qingshui Division. I encountered the French Far East Fleet in the East China Sea before. After several hours of fierce fighting, I captured a French ironclad ship and defeated the French Far East Fleet. In addition, Lushun Naval Port, Dagu Naval Port, Wusong Shipyard, and Mawei Naval Port were Evenly distributed from north to south, no matter where the fleet goes to battle, it can replenish ammunition and fuel nearby at any time." Li Hongzhang said, pointing to the map.

"That's a good point, but just as I won't let my Qingshui Division enter the Sea of ​​Japan to find a decisive battle with the Japanese fleet, the Japanese fleet is not a fool, so how can they be willing to fight me in the East China Sea?" Guan Xuqing continued to ask.

There was silence, yes, the Japanese are as smart as monkeys.How could it be possible to let them come to the East China Sea?

Guan Xuqing watched the three of them bow their heads in silence, and said, "I have an idea, you guys think about it and see if it works."

The three raised their heads together and looked at Guan Xuqing curiously.

Guan Xuqing turned to face the map, pointed to Kyushu Island and Nagasaki and said, "If I arrange the army to land here and attack Kyushu Island and Nagasaki, what do you think will happen to the Japanese?"

Feng Xianghua's eyes lit up: "The Japanese will definitely send warships to cut off our supply lines, and then mobilize the domestic army to wipe out our landing troops."

Li Hongzhang also said: "In this way, the Daqingshui division can wait for work in the East China Sea. Waiting for them to attack! They will definitely be able to catch them all."

"As I said just now, things often have to be considered for the worst and done for the best." Guan Xuqing moved his hand pointing at the map upwards, and then said: "If Nagasaki and Kyushu Island are taken by us The army broke through, and we deliberately let Japan know, so I dispatched troop carriers and warships to the Pacific Ocean. Are you planning to land in Tokyo and Yokohama?"

This made the three of them exclaim at the same time, Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the economic center.Once it is breached, Japan's domestic economy will be paralyzed by half, and I am secretly surprised.What a move!

"Your Majesty, this plan is very clever. If we attack Nagasaki and Kyushu Island first, Japan will definitely concentrate all its fleets to go south, trying to cut off our army's supply line, and mobilize troops from all over the country to destroy our landing troops. If a surprise soldier lands in Tokyo at this time One battle will surely determine the universe, and Japan will pray for peace." Li Hongzhang said excitedly.

Guan Xuqing shook his head, and continued: "I said before, if you don't fight, you will beat up little Japan. This time, the Japan I want to fight will never recover in 300 years, so I don't want to speculate It's like occupying Tokyo."

Feng Xianghua opened his mouth wide in surprise, and asked tremblingly, "Does the emperor want to send an empty ship to the Pacific Ocean?"

Guan Xuqing looked at Feng Xianghua appreciatively and said: "That's right, if Japan knows that I have sent warships to escort 50 troop carriers to the Pacific Ocean and is preparing to land in Tokyo and Yokohama, they will definitely dispatch the main fleet to intercept them in the Pacific Ocean. Then our Beiyang Fleet will be able to There is a greater chance of winning in the East China Sea. As long as half of the strength of the Japanese navy is wiped out in World War I, our Qing navy will be able to penetrate directly into the Sea of ​​Japan and fully control the sea. Continue to send troops to land anywhere in Japan. At this time, occupy Tokyo and completely defeat Japan.”

At this time, Prince Gong admired the nephew in front of him even more. He was only 20 years old and had such a scheming heart.Qingxing himself did not oppose him at the beginning, otherwise he might have followed in the footsteps of Cixi.

"Look, there is something wrong. Let's talk about it and study it together, and immediately draw up a battle plan and send it to Yan Fu and Deng Shichang." Guan Xuqing looked at the three and continued to ask.

"Your majesty is wise, there is nothing wrong with it, so I will go to draw up the decree." Li Hongzhang said.

Guan Xuqing looked at Feng Xianghua and said, "Send a telegram to Lu Yiwei in the name of the Ministry of War, asking him to deploy three divisions from the Southeast Military Region to prepare to land in Nagasaki to fight against Japan."

"Cha." Feng Xianghua knelt on the ground and replied.

Guan Xuqing turned to Prince Gong again and said, "The more ships that can transport troops to the southeast coast, the better."

"I'll do it right away," Prince Gong replied.

The three of them went off to run errands separately, and Guan Xuqing was lying on the kang in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Since traveling here, there are more or less historical references in what I have done before.According to the ministers, the emperor has long been aware of the development of the battle.The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is of course invincible.But now, I have changed history by myself, and all the development trajectories since then are nowhere to be found.He closed his eyes, wondering if he could leave something in this space?

"Your Majesty, great joy! Great joy!" Wang Shang ran in with big strides.

Guan Xuqing sat up and scolded: "You son of a bitch, what are you yelling about? The battle hasn't been fought yet, how can there be a happy event?"
