"Your Majesty, the Empress has suddenly felt unwell recently, and she is pregnant with a dragon species for consultation at the Imperial Hospital today. The Emperor is overjoyed!" Wang Shang knelt on the ground and said happily.

"Ah? The queen is pregnant?" Guan Xuqing opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Yes, Tai Hospital just reported it." Wang Shang nodded affirmatively.

Just now I was wondering if I could leave something in this space, and it came so soon? ?In history, Guangxu could have no heirs, but now he made the queen pregnant.

Facts once again prove that Guan Xuqing is constantly changing history.This made him have to be more cautious about the war between China and Japan. If he made a wrong move, he would lose everything.Especially in this war that is related to the destiny of the country, if it wins, East Asia will dominate, and if it loses, everyone will be bullied.

So you can only win, not lose.

Seeing what Guan Xuqing was thinking about, Wang Shang thought the emperor was too happy.He whispered, "Your Majesty, do you want to visit the Empress?"

Guan Xuqing thought for a while, and said: "I won't go, and I will tell you that the queen's daily diet will be increased by one level, and there will be 20 more maids and eunuchs serving day and night. Tell the queen that the war in Japan has been tense recently, and I will come back in a while." Go talk to him."

Competing in East Asia Chapter 132 Japanese Spy

Although Guan Xuqing was very concerned about the queen's pregnancy, he was also very excited.After all, it was the first time to experience the feeling of being a father no matter in later generations or in this life, but he still suppressed this feeling.What is before him now is the battle of the Qing Dynasty's national destiny, and the war has started three years earlier than in history, so there is not much historical information to refer to.Everything has to be done by himself, as he said when he traveled just now, this is a game without save files, when the game fails, it is the day of his own death.So he had to put more energy into understanding and controlling the war.

In the Lushun military port, the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty rattled in the sea breeze.

Deng Shichang and Yan Fu looked at the telegram sent from the capital, their expressions were dignified, and their brows sometimes stretched and sometimes tightened.

"Miao, it's really wonderful. Only the emperor is so wise and mighty to come up with such a plan. If you and I rush into the Sea of ​​Japan recklessly, even if we win, the enemy will die a thousand times, and I will be injured by eight hundred. Now this plan is very good , God bless me so much. Haha!!" Deng Shichang laughed out loud.

"Yes, brother Deng, let's discuss the specific naval formation. The emperor is waiting for news of our victory!" Yan Fu said equally excitedly.

After some discussion, it was decided that the six battleships "Daqing 4000", "Daqing 5700", "Zhenyuan", "Dingyuan", "Weiyuan" and "Jiyuan" were responsible for storming the Nagasaki Fort. Called the first formation.The second formation is in charge of ambush to lure out the Japanese fleet. Yuan", "Zhiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Pingyuan", "Guangjia", "Guangji", "Guangbing", and "Guangding", of which four are ironclad ships of more than 19 tons, and three are 2000 tons. tons and can reach a speed of 1000 knots, five [-]-ton ironclad gunboats, and four [-]-ton torpedo ships.The second formation mainly used guerrilla tactics to hold back the Japanese fleet.After the army landed successfully, the first formation and the second formation joined together to attack the Japanese fleet.The third formation is composed of five domestication ships, "Yangfan", "Flying Eagle", "Sea Lion", "Nanji" and "Nanxiang".

After some discussions, the flagships and commander-in-chief of each formation were announced accordingly. The first formation had "Zhenyuan" as the flagship, and Deng Shichang was the commander-in-chief.The second formation had "Changsheng" as its flagship, with Yan Fu as its commander-in-chief, and the third formation had "Flying Eagle" as its flagship, with "Ding Ruchang" as its commander-in-chief.

Due to the need to wait for the army to go north, it happened to take this precious time to practice in formation on the Yellow Sea.

After receiving the order from the Ministry of War, Lu Yiwei immediately ordered the Second Division, No.15 Division and No.19 Division to go north to Dalian, preparing to cross the river and storm Nagasaki.Due to the rapid economic development along the southeast coast in recent years, the common people are quite supportive of various policies of the imperial court.Knowing that ships would be conscripted to travel to Japan to fight, everyone enthusiastically donated their ships.

"Whoever doesn't give it to the bastard, I also donated the boat I bought last year."

"Didn't the imperial court give you money?"

"Hey, who cares about those silver dollars? When I bought this boat, I spent 10000 silver dollars, and now the imperial court only subsidizes me with 1000 silver dollars. Now that the Qing Dynasty has become stronger, look at the wars that have been fought in other countries. In the past, it was foreigners who bullied us to the Qing Dynasty! That business can’t be done, but now it’s different, I’d rather donate more money, as long as the business can be done normally, when will the money not be earned back?”

"That's right, my third uncle also asked me where to donate. His ship is getting too big. I heard that it can hold 100 tons of cargo."

There was an upsurge of donating ships along the southeast coast, and the common people knew that the Qing Dynasty was going to send troops to attack the Japanese mainland.

Of course, these can't escape the secret agents of the "Chrysanthemum" agency installed by Japan in the Qing Dynasty. The common people only know that they want to fight to Japan, but how do they know how to fight?

The Japanese secret service agencies in China mainly used the identities of businessmen, students, and doctors as cover. A Japanese named Ishikawa grew up in the Qing Dynasty and opened a pawn shop and money exchange bank.

On this day, when a Qing soldier came to exchange pounds, the guy couldn't decide, because the pound was controlled in the store.Ishikawa thought to himself that he could break into the military through him, so he was granted special permission in exchange.After several exchanges, Ishikawa quickly became acquainted with him, and knew that his name was Wang Kaijia, and he was a company commander of the 38th Division of the Qing Army stationed in Shanghai.This kid is eloquent, and he can talk endlessly about the situation in the army.When Wang Kaijia came again, Ishikawa took him to a brothel.When they were about to break up after having fun, Wang Kaijia approached him out of gratitude and said, "Brother Shi Chuan, I want to take you to meet someone, are you interested?"

Shi Chuan hurriedly asked, "Who?"

Wang Kaijia whispered in Shi Chuan's ear mysteriously: "His uncle is Li Hongzhang, a well-known figure in our Qing Dynasty."

Under Wang Kaijia's introduction, Ishikawa met Li Hongzhang's nephew Liu Fen, who was then head of the 38th Division's security regiment, on the same day.After some conversation and observation, Shi Chuan quickly saw that Liu Fen in front of him was also an ordinary person with lust and greed.Next, Shi Chuan carefully planned. He first had to satisfy Liu Fen's greed, so he brought a precious antique, which made Liu Fen overjoyed.

"Brother Liu Fen, I heard that your military region is sending more troops to the back? We are going to fight in North Korea, and it will be difficult for us to meet in the future!" Shi Chuan asked tentatively.

"Well, it's not our division's turn to do this kind of thing. Our Qing Dynasty only had 40 divisions in total, and we called it the 38th division. It was the last three divisions. Unless the troops were wiped out, we would just guard the frontier. Otherwise, my uncle would not have put me in this division, saying that he should keep a low profile." Liu Fen held the antique and fondled it greedily.

"Oh, didn't our Qing Dynasty have troops in the northeast? Why did they all come to the southeast?" Ishikawa stayed in China for five and a half years, and it was generally not obvious that he was Japanese.

"Really? But I heard that this time we are not going to North Korea." Liu Fen put down the antique and said seriously.

"Huh? Now everyone is rumored to be going to Japan?"

"Well, I heard that this time the little emperor said that he wants to take the bottom line and doesn't want to fight a protracted war. He wants to go directly to Tokyo!"

"Oh, brother Liu, wait for a moment. Brother will come as soon as he goes." Shi Chuan hurried back to the bedroom and sent a secret telegram to the country.When he came out, he brought a lot of pounds with him, "Brother Liu, bring more pounds for self-defense in these troubled times."

"Ah, how can this work... this... then I will be disrespectful! Haha!" Liu Fen said and stuffed the pound Ishikawa handed over into his pocket.

Competition in East Asia Chapter 133 Nagasaki Landing Battle

"What? The Qing Dynasty is going to land in Tokyo?" Emperor Meiji said in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The source of the information provided by the intelligence personnel inside the Qing Dynasty is the officers of the division-level troops of the Qing Dynasty."

"The Qing Dynasty is really cunning. Knowing that we hit all the warships in the Sea of ​​Japan, you want to attack our capital directly?" Emperor Meiji said angrily: "Let the four main battleships of Kyushu, Yamato, Musashi, and Katsuragi join Hiei and Fuso to assist To defend Tokyo, the troops to reinforce North Korea stop first, and transfer 1 people to Tokyo to assist in the defense."

"Yes."

In Lushun Military Port.

"General, the Second Division, No.15 Division and No.19 Division of the Southeast Military Region have arrived. The troop carriers are all in place." A Qing soldier ran into the headquarters and reported.

"Okay, all the formations set sail immediately. The Yellow Sea gathers and informs all divisions to board the ship and set off on time at 5 pm." Yan Fu ordered.

"Yes."

Three naval formations assembled in the Yellow Sea, and all three divisions, except for a few senior generals, didn't even know whether they were going to North Korea or Tokyo.

The "Zhenyuan" was the first to play the semaphore, one step ahead. 50 troop carriers and 6 capital ships headed towards Nagasaki mightily.

As soon as the second formation came out of the Yellow Sea, it dropped anchor and lay an ambush at the junction of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea.Two cruisers "Chengfeng" and "Breaking Waves" with a speed exceeding 19 knots patrolled the junction of the Sea of ​​Japan and the Yellow Sea.

The third formation led 60 empty troop carriers and sailed directly from the East China Sea into the Pacific Ocean, preparing to attack Tokyo.

At this time, Japan had already transferred its troops to Tokyo for defense due to receiving wrong information.If Guan Xuqing knew this information in advance, there would be no need for the third formation to attack again. The real strategic goal had already been achieved, and the third formation could assist in attacking Nagasaki or join the second formation to ambush the Japanese fleet.Still have to say, the importance of intelligence.Since Zhao Bingjun's intelligence network has just been established and has not yet penetrated into the Japanese mainland, it is impossible to know that Japan has been tricked.So it was still safe to send the third formation to attack Tokyo, but this move also made Japan more convinced that the intention of the Qing Dynasty was in Tokyo.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, the first formation had approached Nagasaki.

"Master, aren't we going to Tokyo? Arriving so soon?" an army officer on board asked.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, what's not to fight?" Second Division Commander Feng Zicai scolded.The Second Division was just transferred from Burma to the Southeast Military Region this year. Feng Zicai was Lu Yiwei's subordinate since the Sino-French War. Lu Yiwei liked this fiery old subordinate very much.In exchange for 500 mortars and Xu Shichang's Ninth Division to Liu Mingchuan.

The dots of fire indicated that the defense of the Nagasaki Fort was very tight, and they also found a huge fleet approaching them.

Yamamoto, the leader of the Nagasaki Fort Guards, saw the fleet with the dragon flag through the binoculars. He was in a cold sweat and hurriedly said to the soldiers around him: "It's not good, the Qing army fleet is coming. Inform the troops, prepare for battle, and put all the ammunition Lift it up."

"Roms."

Deng Shichang knew how important time was to him. The sooner he captured Nagasaki, the sooner he would join the second formation.Their ambush there must have been tough, facing the main Japanese fleet.

"The semaphore will be sent by Daqing No. [-]. The fort on the protruding part of the reef directly in front of the target must be hit." Deng Shichang ordered.

"Yes."
