"Otherwise, we will pay a higher price. If we lose this time, we will lose. Next time we will be better prepared and just win back."

"As for war reparations... the royal family is responsible for thirty million taels of silver!"

Emperor Meiji gritted his teeth finally.

"Your Majesty! Can't the royal family afford so much compensation?"

Masayoshi Matsukata hurriedly stood up and said, in fact, almost all of Emperor Meiji's advancement had been bought for warships.No money at all.

"The royal family still has a lot of jewels. Don't there are many people who like these things in the shareholder paintings and calligraphy of Gili Gaul? Take them to auction!"

"These things are useless and can be taken back from the Qing Dynasty if you win!"

Although Emperor Meiji said so, his face was full of bitterness. One country actually wanted to send royal things to compensate other countries.

"Hay!"

These ministers glanced at each other, and their complexions were also hot, but at this point they couldn't take care of that much.The pressure of compensation is too great.

And the shelling of people also made the domestic economy mess up.

They secretly vowed in their hearts that they must win the next war and can only repay the Emperor with practical actions.

So the Emperor’s Mansion collected a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings and sent people to go to Gili Gaul for auction. After all, it is impossible to sell good prices in the local area.

The main fleet of the Qing Dynasty returned to the Lushun Military Port, and the Neon Man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ito Bowen found Li Hongzhang again based on domestic knowledge, but this time the differences between the two sides were still very large, and there was no way to reach an agreement.

However, all the ships of the Qing Dynasty were overhauled in time and replaced parts, especially the Dingyuan-class ships. Due to the seriousness of the last trade, it is impossible to restore their original strength even if they have been repaired many times.However, it is still stronger than the previous 7000-ton iron-clad cruiser of the "Baya" category.

On June 28, 1891, a total of 13 imperial battleships entered the vast sea. This time their target was the neon capital.

This time when Gili Gaul’s destroyers followed, they were actually intercepted by two destroyers of the Will Army. The national flag was raised on them and they required a document check. After a while, they had long since lost the figure of the capital ship... …

After learning that the navy had lost its track, Neon immediately ordered all coastal areas to strengthen their guards and evacuate as much as possible. Especially the waterways near the eastern capital were equipped with a large number of mines, and artillery kings of various calibers were transported to the peninsula on both sides. .

They also understood that this time the Qing Dynasty was behaving abnormally, and it was very likely that it was to attack the Eastern Capital.

Three days later at night.

When the navy sent a small boat to explore the Uraga Channel, it found a large number of mines. The night was too dark to remove so many mines.When attacking from the outside, even the main guns on the Qing Dynasty are tens of kilometers apart.To read the novel website www.1ddu.com

The Qing fleet simply stayed on the sea outside Dongdu Bay.So when it gets bright the next day.

Neon is the main force of the navy that has been discovered gathered outside Dongdu Bay, which caused the entire Dongdu to jump up and down, and the residents' emotions were stabilized after they appeared to calm down. Even so, hundreds of thousands of residents directly Moved to the mainland.

Guizi’s heavy artillery was deployed immediately, but the land battle artillery was so large that it was difficult to move, so now their largest is only an 8-inch artillery, which is less pitiful. So the key is to look at the navy and the arrangement on both sides of the Uraga Channel in Dongdu Bay The coastal defense artillery and navy on the two peninsulas of Miura (west) and Boso (east).

Although the navy department has repeatedly assured the emperor and the cabinet that they will definitely guard the Uraga waterway and prevent the main naval forces from entering, no one has any idea.

Naval Command.

Sugimoto Gonbei, Saigo Congdao, Ito Tingyi, and Kawayama Saki all gathered together. Except for Ito Tingshi, who was slightly immature, the other three existed when the navy was first established. character.

"Everyone, the navy has failed once. Now the Qing people's navy is going to attack our capital. The army can't help much. It can only rely on us and the coastal defense guns on both sides."

Xixiang Congdao spoke first.

"Mr Xixiang, the warships of the Qing people are very powerful, and our arrangement is not necessarily enough to prepare as much as possible to send the royal family and important personnel out."

Gonbei Sugimoto suggested to Saigo.

Now the two of them are not very relieved of Huashan Shiji.Now he has the idea of ​​suggesting that Xixiang re-emerge from Taoism and preside over the overall situation.

"My lord, we have only a few cruisers and 56 torpedo boats in Dongdu Bay. I don't recommend cruisers to fight. They are too big and easy to be shot. It doesn't make much sense. On the contrary, it will lose a small number of naval elites."

"But torpedo boats. If they are in a narrow waterway, or when the formation of the Qing fleet is in trouble, seize the opportunity, it is still possible to severely damage their warships."

Shiki Huashan also knew that he was going to take the blame. He had previously fully supported Togo Heihachiro in finding a decisive battle with the Qing navy, and indeed he had a certain responsibility.

"The Haixiang makes sense! The torpedo boats can indeed produce unexpected results when suitable, but they have to wait for them to enter the Uraga Channel."

"We have deployed a lot of mines in the waterway. They need to evade or send out small boats to clear their accounts. At the same time, the shore defense artillery we deployed on the two peninsulas will also attack them at that time."

"This is the time when their formation is most prone to problems, and the torpedo boat is the hardest to worry about."

Tei Ito suggested the same.

"This can only be done!"

Xixiang Congdao nodded and said.

He knew that many shore defense guns were indeed deployed on both sides of Uraga Channel, but those were relatively old-fashioned shore defense guns, and there were no guns over ten inches or more newly installed recently. No one can cause lethal damage to the navy fleet. Got it...
