Chapter 14 The sneak attack plan (1)
Just as Zhang Yunfei was having a heart-to-heart talk with all the managers, Wang Meng came to Zhang Yunfei.
"Sir! The telegram from the court to you!" Wang Meng said.
"Look at what it is!" Zhang Yunfei said.
"Yes!" So Wang Meng opened the telegram and read it and said to Zhang Yunfei: "Sir, the telegram said, listen to Li Hongzhang and go north to work!"
"What does this mean!" Zhang Yunfei asked without understanding.
"That is to say, Li Hongzhang will assign errands to the adults. He has already greeted the court and asked him to cooperate!" Wang Meng told Zhang Yunfei.
Zhang Yunfei thought to himself: At about two o'clock the day after tomorrow (September 18), when Fang Boqian fled back to Lushun, Li Hongzhang learned that the Beiyang Navy was defeated and returned, it would be clear how arrogant you were. What would you do at this time? Could it be that I asked me to escort the troops ship with the Beiyang Navy? That would not work. I really wanted to participate in this war in my previous life, but after I really came to this era, I understood what it means to be powerless to turn the world back. If you, Li Hongzhang, will never fall, the Qing Dynasty will always be immersed in daydreams. When will I demolish the broken house of the Qing Dynasty to build a new house? Moreover, there seems to be no record of the Nanyang Navy going north to assist in the war in history! It seems that I am willing to help you, it will not work!
At this time, a yamen runner came in to report to Zhang Yunfei that Li Dequan, a garrison in Nanjing, had already arrived outside the Navy camp by boat, saying that he had come under the order of Lord Li Zhongtang, and said that he had also brought the Zhongtang handwritten order to the Lord. Lord Beiwang asked him to tell me what should I do?
'It came so fast! But why did you bring a thousand people here? Capture me?' Zhang Yunfei was puzzled, so he ordered everyone to end the lunch. At the same time, he ordered the yamen runners to inform the guards of the camp to let Li Dequan come to the yamen. The 1,000 Huai troops he brought were not allowed to get off the ship and monitored closely. The stewards of Zhang Yunfei's Nanyang Group have now joined him, so they are naturally wary of the Beiyang team, so they gathered their subordinates to leave.
Afterwards, Zhang Yunfei ordered Wang Mengduo to be wary around him.
It didn't take long, and five people came in from outside. Judging from their clothes, the leader was a general guard, and the other four were battalions, and two were battalion adjutants. After coming in, they saw Zhang Yunfei who was high above, and the five people immediately stepped forward to pay homage.
After seeing the ceremony, I saw the man in the leader said, "Li Dequan, a garrison in Nanjing, came to the tent to obey the order of Lord Li Zhongtang! This is the skeleton from Lord Zhongtang to the adults, please check it out!" As he said that, he stepped forward and took the skeleton to Zhang Yunfei.
Zhang Yunfei took it and was shocked. Be good. It turned out that the command was written to order Zhang Yunfei to introduce the Nanyang Navy fleet and escort Li De all the officers and soldiers of two battalions to Nagasaki, Japan, and sneak attack the Japanese military port of Sasebo, Japan. No mistakes were allowed. In order to cover Zhang Yunfei, the Beiyang Navy set sail at noon today. It attracted the attention of Japanese ships. Zhang Yunfei also set a time for the order and notified the court. Zhang Yunfei immediately implemented the order after seeing it. No mistakes were allowed, otherwise the military law would be handled. After reading it, Zhang Yunfei handed the command to Lin Jian.
Zhang and other officials read it. They thought to themselves: "Damn Li Hongzhang, isn't this going to kill me? Sneak attack on Japan, my little one, your Beiyang navy is almost being fucked by someone, and I even asked my broken ships to die. Hey! No! I remember that this idea seemed to have been in history, but it was cancelled later. Could it be that I was disobeying and not going? But there was no such thing as me in history! Could it be that I was chopped off by Old Man Li this time because I didn't go? Silk! Zhang Yunfei suddenly felt a chill behind his head.
At this time, Zhang Yunfei looked at the five people again, and saw the other four people looking like they were dead and gray, but Li Dequan had a strange look in his eyes. That was! murderous aura! Zhang Yunfei was used to seeing life and death in his previous life! He was very familiar with this look, dash! Zhang Yunfei's pupils suddenly shrank, and he returned to peace for a moment.
'It seems that my life is not very good! This guy is obviously because I am going to kill me if I refuse! It seems that people who travel through time are not easy to make a living! I thought they could change history? Now it seems that their history has not changed? Don't go? It seems that it is not possible. If Beiyang will be destroyed tomorrow, even the cheap aunt Cixi will not be able to protect herself. If you go, just these broken ships can drive to Japan to say a few words? Maybe they will fall apart halfway? Damn! What's more, I have never heard of Japan being sneaked into China. If you don't go, you will die for a lifetime. Zhang Yunfei has already started to think about running away halfway, that is the only life.' Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei said to everyone: "Sir, see how to deal with this matter!"
"It depends on the orders of the Lord!" everyone shouted in unison.
‘Damn!’ Zhang Yunfei was so angry that he was almost angry by their words. He thought that these bastards dared to see his jokes. In fact, he was wrongly blamed everyone. Everyone knew that sneak attacks Japan with Nanyang's strength was seeking death. He was afraid that Zhang Yunfei would say that they were afraid of death. If he said he would go, everyone knew the consequences. So he kicked the ball to Zhang Yunfei, thinking: ‘You decide! Anyway, we have already been mingled with you. This is what you and Li Hongzhang saw. Let’s go, everyone is looking for death together. If you don’t go, you will blame him. We will appreciate it!’
"Sir, with the strength of my navy, I really cannot complete this task, so why not push it away?" Li Jianzhang saw that Zhang Yunfei was very angry, so he stepped forward and said.
Zhang Yunfei was very happy to see Lin Jianzhang say this, but then again, Zhang Yunfei can't tell you that the Beiyang Navy will be defeated by the Japanese tomorrow! Li Hongzhang will definitely take this opportunity to chop off his head, so it won't be possible if he doesn't go!
"I am very pleased with this words of Zengrong! However, the court is fighting against Japan now, and we should work together for the country. Therefore, I decided to prepare the five ships of the Navy, Huantai, Jingqing, Nanrui and Nanchen, to prepare ammunition, coal, and Danshui immediately, and to draw elites from each ship of the Nanyang Navy to supplement the five ships to maintain the maximum combat power of the five ships. This matter is given to Zengrong, and Shenchen, and the full power of the five ships shall not be wrong!" Zhang Yunfei ordered helplessly and hypocritically.
At this time, when the generals saw Zhang Yunfei determined to attack Japan, although they were extremely worried, they also increased their morale. They thought that this boss was quite courageous and no longer hesitated, and they took the orders to go out and arrange them.
Li Dequan showed a slightly admiring look at Zhang Yunfei and said, "You are loyal to the court, which is admirable. Since that's the case, then you will return to the ship to wait for the news from you!"
Zhang Yunfei was amused and crying. At this time, he was thinking about how to escape from the tiger's mouth? He waved his hand to signal that they could leave.
After seeing the five of them leave, Zhang Yunfei called Wang Meng to ask him to find a chance to go to Li Dequan's ship to see the situation. He was always worried about these people. At the same time, he remembered that the Qing army's shells were very garbage during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, so he asked Li Jianzhang to randomly check and test all the ammunition they carried, and he would not do anything that would not pass the qualifications.
