While Deng Shichang easily captured Weihaiwei in Shandong, the same thing was happening in Quanzhou in the south at the Manchu Nanyang Navy Naval Base.
Not only did the Quanzhou Naval Base of the Qing Dynasty have fewer and smaller battleships, but its overall strength was also far from that of Weihaiwei's Beiyang Navy. There was no comparability between the two.
When the warships of the Nanhai Fleet of the Chinese Loyal and Brave Army led by Lu Han suddenly broke into Quanzhou, all the Manchu and Qing soldiers in the Nanyang Navy were frightened!
More than thirty iron-clad giant ships, which they had never seen before, let alone heard of, silently broke into the naval base of the Nanyang Navy in Quanzhou.
That majestic scene and that heavy pressure made everyone in the Nanyang Navy forget to breathe, forget to react, and forget everything else.
The only thing they remembered was the dark, eerie muzzle of the giant cannon.
They wanted to shout, but they couldn't make a sound. They wanted to board the ship to resist, but they lacked the courage. They wanted to escape, but unfortunately they couldn't take a step.
The only thing they could do was to stand still and be easily captured by the soldiers of the Zhongyong Army Navy. They stared at them as the Zhongyong Army Navy took full control of the base, including them, these soldiers.
After they were captured and understood, they were surprised to know that these powerful navy were actually warships of the Chinese Loyal and Brave Army.
What surprised them even more was that the leader of this fleet was actually the prodigy of the former Fujian Navy, Lu Han, whom they had admired for a long time.
This discovery made them overjoyed!
Nine out of ten soldiers in the Nanyang Navy are either Fujianese or Cantonese, and they have an inexplicable affinity with Lu Han, who is also from Guangdong.
What's more, these people are not fools. If the Chinese loyal army and navy suddenly come to the city and take control of Quanzhou, it must be that they are preparing to overthrow the rule of the Manchu government!
Now the opportunity is right in front of us. Seeing that the decline of the Qing Dynasty is almost inevitable, and the Chinese loyal and brave army replaces the Qing Dynasty and becomes the new 'ruler' of China, it is only a matter of time. Sooner or later, it is a matter of time to defect to the powerful loyal and brave army who are also Chinese.
, is their most real thought at the moment.
Therefore, all the captured soldiers in the Quanzhou base are unanimously willing to sincerely join the Chinese loyal and brave army, and are more willing to continue to sail the thousands of miles of the motherland.
The Manchu soldiers at the Quanzhou base are willing to join the loyal and brave army, but Lu Han may not be willing!
The Chinese Loyal and Brave Army does not require all kinds of people, but they must go through strict assessments and political examinations. After passing the assessment in all aspects, they must also undergo political education. Only after they are all qualified can they be allowed to take up their posts.
The Chinese loyal and brave army has sworn to maintain the purity of the team!
However, in any case, the Quanzhou Naval Base was completely captured by the South China Sea Fleet led by Lu Han without any surprise or danger.
In addition to Weihaiwei and Quanzhou, the two Manchu and Qing military seaport bases that needed to be controlled, there was another place that also needed to be absolutely controlled, and that was the Dagukou Fort in Tianjin.
The Dagukou Fort in Tianjin is a waterway that is close to Tianjin and Beijing, and it is also a standard choke point.
Starting from here, it is the closest military port to Beijing and Tianjin. It is necessary for the Zhongyong Army to control this place!
In order to enable Wu Tong's mechanized division to advance unimpeded from Dagukou to Beijing and protect Beijing, Dagukou must fall into the hands of the Zhongyong Army in the future, otherwise, the consequences will be unforeseen.
In the early morning of April 4th, when the sky was just getting dark, Manchu soldiers from the Qing Dynasty discovered more than a dozen large cargo ships flying the Union Jack flag at Dagukou Port in Tianjin. They rushed into the harbor and rushed into the harbor.
The Manchu and Qing soldiers did not dare to take lightly the ships flying the Union Jack. In the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, it was okay for you to bully your own countrymen. But if you have the guts and want to be disadvantageous to the ghosts, you must not do it.
!
In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were first-class ghosts, second-class bannermen, third-class ethnic minorities, and fourth-class Han people.
For the Manchu and Qing Dynasty gentlemen who were afraid of foreigners and were infatuated with foreigners, the long-haired savage-like ghost guys were their ‘fathers’ and ‘masters’, and they were absolutely untouchable!
In the mouth of Dagu, those Manchu and Qing soldiers who saw the Mi-shaped flagship just barging in and did not dare to act rashly, the Manchu and Qing 'gentles' could only think silently in their hearts, these people are not here to cause trouble, they are just '
Just passing by!….
But contrary to expectations, the cargo ship was heading towards the pier. From the moment the first cargo ship docked at the pier, many people jumped off, including Chinese and long-haired ghosts. However, relatively speaking,
The number of ghosts is just relatively small.
After everything was settled, the Manchu soldiers took a look and immediately understood that they were here to deliver goods.
Just go down!
As long as they don't hinder us, let alone cause trouble, we Manchu soldiers are used to this! The ghost guys are used to being domineering in the Manchus!
You are used to being a soldier in the Qing Dynasty, but the crew of Gui Lao are not used to it.
One of the sellers, who may also be a "coolie," said that a certain Manchu soldier was always staring at him, as if he was on guard against thieves. He felt unhappy and wanted the Manchu soldier to do it in public
Apologize to yourself.
Hey!
If you were a ghost, the Manchu and Qing soldiers would tolerate it. After all, in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, ghosts have the ability to be arrogant!
However, the crux of the problem is that you are just a coolie, and a Chinese coolie. Why are you so arrogant in front of me, the official?
My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt cannot tolerate it!
The Manchu soldiers couldn't help it!
So, the two of them started 'theorying'.
It doesn't matter if it's just theory! Feeling that no one could convince the other, the two started pushing each other.
When pushing and shoving, someone will always suffer. The Manchu soldiers were afraid that one of their own would suffer, so someone would come up and try to sidestep the situation.
If you have people pulling the frame, there are also people loading and unloading it!
People are also afraid that their own people will suffer! Others will come to help!
This time, from single to single, to double to double, to group to group, the two sides of the argument changed from the original "pull" state to the "advance" state, and everyone participated.
What reassured the Manchu and Qing soldiers was that the ghost guys were smiling all the time, standing aside and watching the fun, and had no intention of stopping or helping.
Since the ghost guys don't come up to participate or stop everyone, then the Manchu soldiers have nothing to be afraid of!
As a result, everyone developed into a full martial arts practice.
By the time the bruised and swollen Manchu soldiers thought of their duty to guard the fort, they had already become prisoners of the 'workers' who had just engaged in a violent act with them.
Those who clashed with the Manchu soldiers were Wu Tong and his vanguard.
Operating at the same time as the vanguard, there were also elite members of Liu Chengliang's special forces.
When the Qing soldiers and the so-called "laborers" were engaged in a full-scale military attack, Liu Chengliang's special forces soldiers had quietly and quickly taken control of the entire Dagukou Fort.
Those Manchu soldiers were captured, and these prisoners were taken away by Liu Chengliang and the others.
Because the troop transport ship transporting Wu Tong is about to arrive, it is impossible for the Manchu soldiers to see these situations.
After the troop transport ship, there are also logistics support ships, supply ships, etc.
Behind these ships were troop carriers transporting field troops.
These ships are targets in the ocean, without any resistance. It is impossible for everyone to rest assured that these troop transport ships are so naked and sailing on the sea. They are all escorted by the fleet. The people who escort these transport ships are
The Pacific Fleet warships led by Ye Fu.
The main purpose of transporting these subsequent batches of field troops to land at Dagukou was to defend Beijing.
In addition, these field troops also have another responsibility, which is to quickly control the green battalions of the four Manchu towns in Tianjin, Shandong and the Qing Dynasty to ensure the vacuum state of the important areas in the capital and protect the absolute safety of the important areas in the capital.
Suddenly, the Dagukou Military Port Pier became very lively.
After singing here, the other side came on stage again. Wu Tong's mechanized division had just left, and the logistics support ship over there had arrived. Just as the logistics support ship had unloaded supplies, the field troops over there had arrived again.
It can be said that there are good shows every day, but there are so many today!
