After hearing what Li Guozhen said, the sound of shackles colliding in the cell, familiar faces slowly walked out of the shadows, all of which were Fang Boqian's former subordinates.

"Okay, I'll talk to Lovstowski now and let him let you out immediately. With you following me, I'll have a clear idea!" Fang Boqian said happily.

The Beiyang Navy soldiers in prison all followed his subordinates for many years. The reason why Fang Boqian asked Lofstowsky to stay was to wait until one day when they changed their minds and followed him to board the Shanghai Cash and gallop on the sea.

After being imprisoned for so long, these people led by Li Guozhen finally realized that they were willing to fight side by side with him.

Fang Boqian happily came out of the cell and went straight to Lovstsky's residence, preparing to tell him the news, asking Lovstsky to release them and re-arrange them under his command.

When he arrived at Lovstsky's residence, Fang Boqian thought about Lovstsky's intentions to come true. Lovstsky asked: "Fang, are you really sure they are willing to drive the sea chip with you?"

Although the Haichou was seriously injured in the Battle of Lushun, there was no big deal after emergency repairs. Now the Haichou has become one of the main cruisers of the Russian Pacific Fleet. After all, this Haichou was once a cruiser with all the science and technology in the Beiyang Fleet with the world's leading level.

With the Haichou cruiser, the Pacific Fleet has more powerful combat power. Lovstowski was afraid that after releasing these Beiyang Navy soldiers back to the Haichou, they would turn against each other in the last battle, which would be a big mistake at that time.

Fang Boqian advised: "Hisser Lovstsky, don't worry about this. They are my subordinates for many years. Although they were not willing to surrender to me in the early stage, I think they should have figured it out after so long imprisonment and detention. After all, no one is unwilling to be imprisoned in prison for the rest of their lives, right? They can only agree to fight side by side with me. This is their only way out. Besides, it is not only them on the sea-scrap number, but also your Russian naval soldiers are on it. At that time, as long as the soldiers are allocated to the sea-scrap number in a reasonable proportion, and they do not equip them with weapons, they will not make any big moves!"

The truth about Fang Boqian's words, he also had this concern. He was also afraid that these soldiers would disobey and turn against each other when the war started, so he came up with such a way to let the Russian Navy and his subordinates place them on the ship in the same proportion as their subordinates, and at the same time, they did not give them weapons. In this way, they had no advantage in terms of numbers and weapons, so Fang Boqian was not very worried that they would suddenly turn against the enemy.

Lovstowski thought for a while and said, "Well, Fang, if something happens, I hope you can be responsible. Once I find that they are not as sincerely surrendered to the great Russia as you said, I will definitely shoot them by myself!"

"Hehe, thank you, Lord Lovstsky!" Fang Boqian thanked Lovstsky for the first time for the first time.

A smile appeared on Lovstowski's face and said, "I hope that the party can take your subordinates to serve our Russia. When the Beiyang Fleet is eliminated, your country's Prime Minister Yuan will definitely not treat you badly!"

"That's it, that's it!" Fang Boqian smiled rarely in front of Lovstowski.

After talking to Lofstsky, Fang Boqian ran to the cell excitedly. Lofstsky looked at Fang Boqian's leaving back and let out a heavy snorkeling between his nose. His expression, which was still smiling just now, instantly frozen, and a chill appeared in his eyes.

In the Weihaiwei cell.

"Police Li, we cannot do such things! If we do such a traitor, we will shame our ancestors and be scolded by the Chinese people!" The second deputy Zheng Dong cried.

Li Guozhen shook her head, walked a few steps in the prison, sighed, and asked, "Brothers, are you afraid of death?"

"Not afraid, no fear!" Beiyang Navy soldiers in other prison cells replied one after another.

Li Guozhen said to Zheng Dong: "Look, brothers are not afraid of death. Do you think I will be afraid of death?"

Zheng Dong shook his head dumbly. He knew that Li Guozhen was the least afraid of death among this group of people. He took the lead every time in a naval battle. When he heard that Fang Boqian had treason and surrendered to the enemy, he rushed out and fought with Fang Boqian. Even though Li Guozhen had always treated Fang Boqian as his brother before, for this, Li Guozhen was knocked on by the Russians, and there was still a terrifying scar on his forehead.

"I just don't want to see us passionate brothers sleeping here. Are you really willing to let the Russians keep us from being trapped for the rest of our lives? Besides, maybe when will we be killed by the Russians like ants? Are you willing to die so cowardly?" Li Guozhen asked.

"No, I don't want to. I would rather die in battle than die in such a coward!" Zheng Dong almost yelled.

"Okay, I think the brothers' ideas are the same as the second deputy Zheng Dong?" Li Guozhen asked.

"Yes, yes! I would rather die while standing and live on my knees not far away!" said the soldiers from other prison cells.

"Good brother!" Li Guozhen smiled with relief: "It is worthy of being the soldiers of the Beiyang Navy, and it has the backbone of our Beiyang Navy! So we must go out alive!"

Li Guozhen continued: "I have figured it out in the past few months since I was detained. If we can't get out, we can't do anything. Now the battle between the north and the south is fierce, and we can't sit here, so we have to find a way to go out. Only after we go out can we continue to follow the commander to defend our country and overthrow Yuan Shikai together!"

The other Beiyang Navy soldiers felt reasonable after hearing this. They had the backbone in the past few months. No matter how Fang Boqian threatened and tempted him, they were unwilling to join forces. At this time, this was indeed the case when he heard what Li Guozhen said.

Instead of waiting for death, it is better to fight to the death. A dignified man must be able to bend and stretch, and they are not really willing to join Fang Boqian.

After Li Guozhen said this, other detained Beiyang Navy soldiers regarded Li Guozhen as their backbone and expressed their willingness to go out with Li Guozhen.

Li Guozhen smiled with relief: "Okay, then everyone will follow my arrangement!"

Li Guozhen brought his plans one by one. After hearing this, the other soldiers nodded and said yes, and all vowed to support doing this with Li Guozhen.

At this time, Zheng Dong said with red eyes: "I'm sorry. Brother Li, I misunderstood you just now!"

"Haha, it's okay, everyone listen! When Fang Boqian comes later, you must pretend to follow him wholeheartedly. Do you understand?" Li Guozhen said loudly.

"I know, only Deputy Li will follow everything!" Everyone responded.

After a while, Fang Boqian took an order from the command of the Pacific Fleet Commander Lovstowski to the prison guard officer. Then, Li Guozhen and the others were successfully released.

Fang Boqian patted Li Guozhen on the shoulder heavily and said, "Guozhen, I finally got to know you now! From now on, we will follow Lord Yuan. We will inevitably be rich and prosperous in the future. Maybe you can still become the captain you have always dreamed of!"

"Haha, thank you Captain Fang. We used to be a elm head, but we didn't turn around for a while. Now after so long, we have figured it out. The situation is different, so we have to change it, otherwise we won't be able to keep up with the pace?" Li Guozhen said with a flattering smile.

"Well, it's still my brothers' heartwarming!" Fang Boqian said with emotion, "Okay, everyone goes to wash, the smell is very strong! I have arranged the barracks, everyone has a good rest tonight, and practice with me tomorrow!"

Li Guozhen gave Zheng Dong a wink and said happily: "Okay, thank you Captain Fang!" A group of people walked past Fang Boqian, smiled and shouted, and ran to take a shower.

Fang Boqian was very satisfied with this effect. He felt that his brothers were back, and he was not so lonely here, and he could lead his warships across the sea again.

...

Shanghai Bund.

After Tang Jian arranged all the deployments to the Yangtze River defense line, he took other warships from the Beiyang Fleet from Fuzhou all the way north. After arriving at the Bund of Shanghai, Tang Jian anchored the Beiyang Fleet on the Bund of Shanghai and made the last supply before the war.

Yan Fu was in charge of Wuhan and commanded all the revolutionary revolutionary troops on the south bank. Nie Shicheng was actively preparing for defense in Jingzhou and preparing to fight against the subsequent Russian Cossack Cavalry and Beiyang New Army. Li Jingfang in Jiujiang and Sun Wanling in Nanjing actively cooperated with the Beiyang Fleet battleships on the Yangtze River to help defend their respective stations.

Everything is ready, and we just wait for a major decisive battle with Yuan Shikai. This is a major decisive battle involving the safety of the Beiyang Fleet and the eight southern provinces.

Anchored on the Bund of Shanghai are five battleships of the Beiyang Fleet, namely the Dragon Wei, the Dragon Xiao, Mikasa, the Breeze, and the Hurricane. The cruisers are nine cruisers headed by Hairong, Haige, Haikun, and Haihuang. The destroyers are eleven destroyers headed by Haitu, Haihua, and other destroyers, as well as eleven torpedo boats of other sizes and gunboats, and a total of more than 40 warships occupy most of the Bunds of Shanghai.

After the supply was completed, because Chu Zhaoliang's accurate information had not yet come back, Tang Jian took Cheng Biguang to Shanghai for a walk.

Since both the north and the south had promised to the great powers such as Britain, the United States and Germany, the war was not as good as the concession, Shanghai was still peaceful at this time without any trace of war.

Although Shanghai had not reached the level of an international city in later generations at this time, with the continuous development of foreigners, Shanghai's prosperity began to take shape and was already at night, but this happened to enter Shanghai's rich nightlife.

Tang Jian planned to pay homage to Tan Sitong, so he called a soldier from the National Revolutionary Army who was familiar with the situation in the sea city.

At night, there were people coming and going on the Huangpu River beach, which was very lively. When Tang Jian and the other two were shuttled through the crowd, a man with a pockmarked face suddenly bumped into Tang Jian among the bustling crowd. Tang Jian was anxious to pay homage and didn't mind. Unexpectedly, the man with a pockmarked face cursed: "Damn, I'm blind. I don't know if I hit you, Mr. Huang, just want to leave like this?"
