Arriving on the Dingyuan, the strongest armored iron battleship in Asia, and chatting with the bigwigs of the Beiyang Navy, Wang Chenhao was particularly excited.

The Beiyang Navy was raided by the Japanese fleet, and its situation was originally worrying. However, with the secret help of Wang Chenhao, Wang Chenhao became the benefactor of the Beiyang Navy and was even more a hero of the Qing Empire.

After learning the facts, Ding Ruchang, Deng Shichang and other senior generals of the Beiyang Navy, as well as hundreds of generals and soldiers, watched Wang Chenhao and expressed his sincere gratitude and gratitude to him.

Such a large formation really made Wang Chenhao feel the true mystery of the four words "flattered".

"I dare not take it!"

"This is what I should do!"

"You are too modest!"

...

The first time he dealt with the ancients, Wang Chenhao did not practice etiquette and had to follow the example.

When others nodded and smiled at him, he nodded and smiled; when others bowed, he bowed and bowed; when others bowed, he learned to bow his hands and fists...

Learning to give a gift is simple and not tiring, but it can't resist the number of people on the other side.

After this round of politeness, Wang Chenhao's neck became straight, his back was sore, his legs were cramped, which really made him suffer.

However, the benefits of being humble and humble, Wang Chenhao's humble gift and his attitude of not being proud of his reputation were deeply favored by the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy, such as Ding Ruchang.

Especially Deng Shichang, he had the biggest voice. He always patted Wang Chenhao on the shoulder and shouted to everyone: "At that time, our ship had no ammunition, and I was planning to hit Yoshino to die with him. After the little brother stopped Yoshino, it was equivalent to saving Deng and the lives of the officers and soldiers of the ship. He did not thank him for his great kindness, and he would have the chance to repay his kindness today in the future!"

Wang Chenhao only felt that Deng Shichang was extremely powerful, and patted his shoulder to hurt. He hurriedly went sideways and said, "Mr. Deng is serious. Don't mention the word "benefactor". If you want to repay, you only need to sink a few more Japanese warships to be repaid!"

"Well said!" Lin Taizeng shouted loudly, and everyone shouted in unison, and everyone's voice was like a bell.

It was just a pain in Wang Chenhao. At this moment, he only felt his ears buzzing and subconsciously touching the earlobe.

Ding Ruchang read countless people and immediately saw Wang Chenhao's distress. He hurriedly stopped everyone from making noises. Then he pulled Wang Chenhao over and said alone: ​​"Don't blame Chen Hao for their loud voices! We are the navy who live in the sound of motors of warships, the roar of sea breeze and the roar of cannons every day. If we can't cover their loud noises, how can we command the war? Therefore, everyone gets used to loud voices!"

After Ding Ruchang's explanation, Wang Chenhao nodded immediately to express his understanding. When he heard their loud voices, he no longer felt shocking, but instead had a hint of respect.

Soon, the topic talked about Wang Chenhao's Jiaolong submarine.

Wang Chenhao naturally would not tell the truth, but only said that it was advanced foreign technology. Ding Ruchang and others had also seen submarines. The Tianjin Machinery Bureau once imitated the submarines invented by Americans, but at that time it was built to please the officials of the court to make a new one, and there was no in-depth research at all.

However, a group of senior Beiyang Navy generals wanted to visit the Jiaolong, especially the foreigners above. Wang Chenhao naturally did not dare to let them watch the Jiaolong, for fear of exposing the secrets inside.

The equipment in the Jiaolong is advanced technology more than a hundred years later. Most of the senior officers of the Beiyang Navy have stayed abroad. People who have seen the world are not easily fooled. Moreover, Western technology does not restrict China in this era. They have heard of any advanced things. They will definitely be suspicious of technology for a hundred years.

Therefore, Wang Chenhao did not dare to let them visit, and he pretended to call the Dragon Dragon a lifelong effort of his parents. He was born with the treasures and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

Ancient people had a strong sense of family traditions, and Wang Chenhao said this and immediately blocked their mouths.

They were not very interested in submarines, and they were a little disappointed to see that Wang Chenhao was inconvenient to let them visit. Considering that Wang Chenhao was kind to the Beiyang Navy, they were not convenient to force it.

Everyone quickly changed the topic, talking and talking about the thrilling battle of the Huanghai. Everyone was all those who survived the artillery fire. They were all scared when they remembered the tragic naval battle.

However, for the victorious side, their confidence quickly defeated their fears.

Although Ding Ruchang and others did not suspect that Wang Chenhao was a spy, they also tried to interrogate Wang Chenhao's origin and identity.

In response, Wang Chenhao just vaguely answered that he had been "drifting all over the world and had no fixed place" since he was young, and he had been to all countries in Taixi. Ding Ruchang and others also knew that the Qing Empire was weak, and it was difficult for Chinese to integrate into the world of the great powers due to discrimination overseas. Therefore, he sympathized with the saying that Wang Chenhao would stay in the country in the future and should not wander anymore.

Then, everyone left the dull topic of naval warfare and talked about interesting things about the South and North China. Wang Chenhao knew a lot about foreign history in this era, so after a scattered boast, most of the officers who had been abroad were impressed by his erudition and believed in his overseas Chinese identity.

"Our navy is short of talents like Chen Hao! Now it is a Sino-Japanese War. I hope you can stay with our navy!" Ding Ruchang saw that Wang Chenhao was familiar with military affairs in various countries, so he wanted to recruit him.

Of course Wang Chenhao was happy. He now has nothing but the Jiaolong. To be precise, eating and sleeping are all problems because his stomach is already roaring.

"I returned to China to participate in the war against Japan, but I just don't know what I can do with the Beiyang Navy?"

Ding Ruchang smiled and said, "With my current rights, I can arrange for you to take charge of the position of supervisor. How about you direct your Jiaolong first?"

Wang Chenhao thought to himself that Ding Ruchang is very good at doing business, so he would incorporate the Jiaolong into the Beiyang Navy with a steward.

But Wang Chenhao doesn't know how to survive in the late Qing Dynasty, so he can only agree.

"Thank you so much!"

Ding Ruchang said with a smile: "With the Beiyang Navy's Jiaolong, how dare the Japanese Navy come again to provoke him?"

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Thanks to Wang Chenhao's help this time, otherwise they would be really worried. Therefore, all the generals and officials had a good impression of Wang Chenhao and came forward to congratulate him.

Deng Shichang was the happiest. He was a colleague of Wang Chenhao, so he naturally became closer.

Although Wang Chenhao got a position in charge, he was just in charge of himself and had a false title. But Wang Chenhao thought that he could save Deng Shichang's life, and it would be easier to have him to cover up the Beiyang.

It was getting late, and the aftermath of the Beiyang Navy ships had been sorted out one after another. The casualties, combat losses and ammunition consumption of each ship were counted one after another.

In this battle of the Yellow Sea, the Beiyang Navy lost the Chaoyong cruiser. The Yangwei was severely injured, the Zhiyuan and Jingyuan were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured. The Chaoyong commanded Huang Jianxun and other Beiyang Navy officers and soldiers were killed.

The Japanese joint fleet suffered huge losses. The two cruisers, Yoshino and Nasu, sank, and the four ships Matsushima, Hiei, Akagi, and Nishikemaru, were severely damaged. Among them, the Nishikemaru merchant cruiser and the Hiei mine mothership sank on the way back to Japan, so a total of four warships were lost. 1,130 Japanese naval officers and soldiers, including the captain of the Yoshino, Kawahara, were killed, and 222 people, including Colonel Hirahachiro Togo, were captured.

At 7 pm, the Yangwei closed the loophole at the bottom of the ship, and the Jiyuan ship was towed back.

Wang Chenhao stayed on the Dingyuan ship, and his Jiaolong was hung on the empty space of the Dingyuan ship No. 3 torpedo boat, and then covered with canvas.

At the same time, under Wang Chenhao's insistence, Ding Ruchang sent a dedicated person on duty to strictly prohibit anyone from approaching.

At 7:20 pm, the Beiyang Navy completed the rectification and the fire formation returned to Lushun Port.

The Lushun Port Base had already received a good news notice from the Beiyang Navy's victory. Lushun trailer Gong Zhaoyu immediately led Lushun guard generals Huang Shilin, Zhao Huaiye, Wei Rucheng and other commanders to greet them at the dock, and called the soldiers and civilians of Lushun to form a grand drinking ceremony.

The lights on the pier were bright and firecrackers were ringing. It was a big fun to meet everyone.

Gong Zhaoyu set up a reception banquet, but Ding Ruchang and other naval generals said they were injured. Moreover, many of their colleagues and brothers were killed and they were in a bad mood and did not attend.

Wang Chenhao didn't think anything at first, and he didn't understand the key until Deng Shichang told him that the navy and the land camp had a bad relationship.

There is a Navy Officer Apartment in Lushun, but there is no share in Wang Chenhao. Deng Shichang originally wanted to ask Wang Chenhao to sleep with him, but Ding Ruchang took great care of him and arranged Wang Chenhao directly in the Navy Office, which was a place where only the admiral could live.
